The first battle to siege Chenliu was initiated by the Jizhou Corps, the East Road Army that crossed the Yellow River south. As the deputy commander of the East Road Army and the commander of the Jizhou Corps, Lu Bu rushed to the forefront of the battle without hesitation.

After the fall of Yecheng, which was defended by Zhu Jun himself, the 30,000 troops originally sent out to block the Heishan Army's southward journey to the south was dispatched by General Cao Cao and urgently retreated to the Cangting area on the south bank of the Yellow River. Later, the Qingzhou Corps of the Eastern Army advanced westward step by step, and the 30,000 southern troops retreated west again until they entered Puyang City.

Puyang is close to the south bank of the Yellow River. Now Xiahou Dun is in charge of the overall situation in the city. If the 30,000 Zhu Jun's old troops who had just entered the city are added, the defensive forces have exceeded 100,000. If Lu Bu's corps wants to successfully cross the Yellow River from Yecheng, they must first face obstacles and threats from Puyang. Therefore, if they want to attack Chenliu, they must first pull out the "nail" of Puyang.

When Lu Bu was commanding the troops, Tian Feng naturally could not leave him. The military system of Jin State took the route of the two chief officers from the beginning. Although the power of the chief general was greater than that of the military advisor and seemed to be more prominent and majestic than the military advisor, the position of the military advisor in the army is also irreplaceable. The countless battle examples in the past have fully proved the huge role played by the military advisor in the Jin State's troops. Having a very intelligent military advisor not only means that he can win battles, but also means that he can shed less blood and sacrifice, and that he will not fall into the trap carefully arranged by the enemy.

After carefully studying the terrain and landforms of the Puyang area, Tian Feng said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, you should not underestimate the enemy's carelessness in this battle. Although our side came with the momentum of conquering Yecheng, the total force was only 60,000. The Xiahou Dun army, which defended Yecheng, had more than 100,000 people because of the addition of Zhu Jun's old subordinates. If you just attacked hard, you would probably cause major casualties to the troops!"

Although Lu Bu, who is nearly fifty years old, still maintains a strong and slender figure, the wrinkles climbing up the corners of his eyes still make the flying general who has been hiding for decades show some old appearances. He frowned and said, "If we want our son to sacrifice a lot to win the battle in Puyang, this deal is obviously not cost-effective. Since the military advisor has issued a reminder, he must have a more feasible strategy. Please give me some advice!"

Tian Feng knew that it was not the time to drop his schoolbag with Lu Bu, so he used the most concise words to tell the generals such as Lu Bu, Pang De, Zhang Yan, and Jia Mu in the Central Army's tent.

After listening to Tian Feng's plan, Jia Mu first said: "According to the plan of the great military advisor, there should not be too many troops sent to Baima to attack the sneak attacks. The troops that feinted the attack on Puyang should be able to hold back Xiahou Dun's main force and prevent Puyang from sending troops to cut off the retreat of our small group of troops who went to sneak attack the Baima!"

Pang De then raised a question: "Our army has no cavalry at present, and if we want to escort twenty Shenwu general artillery across the river, the speed of traveling will be very slow. It is not known whether the ice surface of the Yellow River can withstand the weight of the general artillery. If we do not have the assistance of this siege weapon, we are afraid that it will be ten times more difficult to attack Puyang!"

Zhang Yan also said, "Last time to attack Yecheng, our army was blocked by the troops sent by Zhu Jun in the Ganling area, so we have never experienced the great power of the general artillery, but it must be very amazing. This time, the Heishan Army asked to take the lead in attacking Puyang. First, it was to see the Shenwu General Artillery, so that the men would be scared when they heard the sound of cannons in the future. Second, they also wanted to fight Zhu Jun's southern army seriously, so that people would think that our Heishan Army was afraid of them!"

After being disturbed by the generals, Lu Bu had no idea, so he habitually turned his attention to Tian Feng, who was a few years older than him. There was no way, who made Tian Feng more experienced? Instead of trying to break his head, Lu Bu might as well be a ready-made person. Anyway, the battle won by then, and the contribution he deserved would not be less than half.

Tian Feng thought for a little while and said, "I have noticed your opinions just now. Now that winter is about to pass, the ice layer of the Yellow River will begin to thaw in the near future, so the most urgent task is to find a way to successfully send the Shenwu General's cannon to the south bank of the Yellow River. In order to attract the attention of Cao's army in Puyang City, our army immediately sent 50,000 troops to cross the river, led by Fengxian himself to move to the Puyang area; the other 10,000 people were divided into two parts, of which 5,000 detoured Liyang to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack the Cao army's food and grass base in Baima, and the remaining 5,000 people escorted the Shenwu General's cannon to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Yellow River!"

The generals had no objection to Tian Feng's deployment, so they acted according to the assigned tasks.

Not long after, the news that Lu Bu personally led an army of 80,000 to attack Puyang reached Puyang, and Xiahou Dun then promoted the tent to discuss matters.

Xiahou Dun said to the generals in a deep voice: "Everyone, now Zhao Ni has entered Luoyang, and his intention to usurp the Han Dynasty's world has long been revealed. Puyang, which is responsible for the defense of our army, is the gateway to the north of Yanzhou. Once it is lost, Chenliu will be in danger. If Chenliu falls, the emperor and lord in Xuchang will be in a very dangerous situation!"

Military advisor Cheng Yu said: "It is rumored that Lu Bu led an army of 80,000 this time. In fact, the total number of Black Mountain and Xiongwu Army is no more than 60,000. There are now 100,000 soldiers in Puyang City, and there are also Yellow River chasms and many defense facilities to use. It is not difficult to stop Lu Bu's army. What we need to be particularly vigilant is the siege weapon "Shenwu General Cannon" used by the Jin ** team. What we need to be prepared for is that the food and grass base located in Baima was raided by the enemy!"

The vanguard general Lu Qian then stood up and said, "I am not talented at the end. Please bring 10,000 troops to the Baima to defend the Wu army's logistics and food!"

Xiahou Dun nodded and said, "Since General Lu is willing to take on the heavy responsibility, I will assign you to lead 10,000 infantry soldiers to quickly reinforce the white horses to defend!"

Wei Zhen, the logistics officer, stood up and asked for his orders and said, "I am not talented, I am willing to follow General Lu!"

Xiahou Dun then agreed to Wei Zhen as the deputy to assist Lu Qian in going to the White Horse defense.

The young general Xiahou Shang stood up and said, "The last general begged to lead a cavalry unit to patrol the south bank of the Yellow River. Once the Jin army's troops transporting artillery were found, they would try to destroy it, thinking that our army would be threatened by this huge threat!"

Xiahou Shang is Xiahou Yuan’s nephew. Now he is following Xiahou Dun, and he is also a person that Xiahou Dun can believe in.

Xiahou Dun felt that it was a bit dangerous for Xiahou Shang to take the initiative to go out of the city to find fighter jets, so he asked Cheng Yu and said, "I don't know what the military advisor thinks about what Boren (Xiahou Shang's name) said!"

After thinking for a while, Cheng Yu replied in a deep voice: "As I expected, Lu Bu's army would definitely transport artillery from the upper reaches of the Yellow River. If Bo Ren leads 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry up the south bank of the Yellow River, there should be a chance to stop this Jin army. But Bo Ren needs to remember that he must not go deep rashly, nor should he pursue the enemy too far, so as not to fall into the ambush of the other party."
