In the afternoon, Zhang Chao finished some of his official duties and felt a little tired, so he took a nap in the prefect's mansion.

While sleeping in a daze, I was suddenly awakened by a chaotic and noisy sound.

"Who is making a noise outside!!"

Just as he was sleeping in a daze, half asleep and half awake, Zhang Chao's head was chaotic, he barely got up and rubbed his eyes, and walked out with an unhappy look on his face.

After walking a few steps, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a guard of his own stumbled in. Seeing Zhang Chao, he hurriedly shouted: "General! No, Lu Bu! Lu Bu sneaked into the city!"

"Lu Bu sneaked into the city? What did you say...what?!Lu Bu sneaked into the city?!"

Zhang Chao's eyes, which were originally confused, suddenly became wide open.

"Yes, General, Lu Bu sneaked into the city!"

"Go to defend the city! What are you doing here?!"

Zhang Chao was about to rush out quickly.

My head was so messy that I hadn't figured out my mind yet, but Zhang Chao knew that what he should do now was to guard the city tightly.

"The city has been broken!"

The personal soldiers shouted.

Zhang Chao was stunned on the spot and looked back at his personal soldiers in disbelief.

"What? The city is broken?"

"Yes! When Lu Bu led his army to raid, there were a lot of soldiers from Lu Bu's army in the city for some reason. They cooperated inside and outside, and the city gate was quickly broken by them. Now Lu Bu's army is coming to the prefect's mansion. General! Let's go quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"how so……"

Zhang Chao was motionless, his face full of shock. In the end, the personal soldiers couldn't see it and pulled Zhang Chao and rushed outside.

When he rushed to the gate of the prefect's mansion, Zhao Chong, a soldier who had been transferred to the city to strengthen his defense, was leading troops to protect the prefect's mansion. A team of soldiers from Lu Bu were attacking the prefect's mansion. Zhang Chao looked around and saw that the city was in a mess, and black smoke was emitting from many places.

"What the hell happened?! What about brother?!"

Zhang Chao was completely confused about the current situation.

"I don't know, when we reacted, Lu Bu's troops began to attack the prefect's mansion. They must have been infiltrated before! General, you can't stay here, go quickly! Dian Wei! Lead the troops to attack! Kill me a way out!"

Zhao Chong gave orders to his subordinate Dian Wei.

"yes!"

A fierce man holding a double halberd, with a big waist and a round waist nodded, responded in a muffled voice, and then raised his halberd.

"Clash with me!"

A group of elite soldiers with big arms and round waists began to charge, and immediately caught Lu Bu's soldiers attacking the prefect's mansion off guard.

Fortunately, Zhang Chao had suspected Lu Bu before, so he chose a group of elite soldiers to enter the city to strengthen his defense. Otherwise, even the prefect's mansion would not be able to rush out and he would die here.

Seeing Dian Wei waving his double halberds and fighting hard, Zhang Chao gradually calmed down.

He began to realize that Zhang Miao was probably killed, and his best outcome was that he was under house arrest by Lu Bu. Lu Bu's ambition was actually coming to Chenliu County!

There is no other way to go at the moment, we must fight a bloody road to the city!

Run east and be sure to go east. Escape from the city gate is victory.

He had no time to think about more, so he could only think about how to escape.

Following the guards, they are going all the way to the east of the city. While they are moving, they suddenly encounter strong obstacles.

"Don't want to leave!"

A familiar and stranger appeared in front of Zhang Chao, and blocked their way with a group of soldiers who looked very tough.

"Gao Shun!"

Zhang Chao was furious: "You group of dog thieves who disregard their kindness! My brother treats you so kindly! You actually repay your kindness with grudges!"

"It's useless to say more! Get into the camp! Attack!"

Gao Shun didn't say much, and every sentence was very meticulous. With a command, hundreds of soldiers around him formed an army to attack him fiercely, with a rainbow of momentum.

"Kill them all!"

Zhang Chao roared angrily, vowing to kill the bastard who was grateful and revenge in front of him.

Then there was a storm of chaos.

This day was July 13, the third year of Chuping.

Three days ago, on July 10, Han Hao left Hanoi with his own troops, entered Dongjun, came to Puyang County, and found Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun.

At that time, Cao Cao was arranging the summer grain harvest and tax payment. He was busy in the dark. Suddenly, he heard a Hanoi man visiting him. He was a little strange. He asked again and said that his name was Han Hao.

Well, I don’t have any impression, but the other party said there was something very important to come and tell me.

Cao Cao felt that it was nothing wrong to meet him, so he took some time to meet Han Hao.

As a result, when Han Hao met, Cao Cao was immediately wary, and he might be facing war.

Cao Cao was shocked and asked about the reason. When he heard what Han Hao said, his heart was immediately filled with anger.

Is Lu Bu here?

"This matter is absolutely true. This is the news that Hao learned from the Hanoi Prefect's Office. The prefect Zhang Jun gave Lu Bu three thousand troops and enough food to arrive at Chenliu. Lu Bu led his army toward Chenliu. Chenliu is a county in Yanzhou. Lu Bu brought thousands of troops into Chenliu, but Guo Qingzhou didn't know that this was abnormal."

Han Hao said anxiously.

Not only is it abnormal, this is too abnormal, what exactly is Zhang Miao going to do?

Cao Cao had a good relationship with Zhang Miao in Luoyang. After being transferred to the prefect of Dongjun, he also had several letters with Zhang Miao, helping Guo Peng to appease Zhang Miao, so that he would not worry, etc.

But now he didn't tell anyone, and just put Lu Bu, who had thousands of soldiers, into Chenliu County. What does this mean?

Cao Cao immediately sent someone to Chenliu County to check the news, and then asked someone to inform Yangwu Captain Cao Ren to come and meet.

Guo Peng placed Cao Ren in Dongjun, led three thousand garrison troops to guard Dongjun, and cooperated with Cao Cao to build Dongjun into a forward base. Now that this happens, Cao Cao naturally wants to make Cao Ren call.

Cao Ren came soon, looking surprised.

"Brother, has Lu Bu arrived in Chenliu County?"

"Well, I just learned about this. I sent someone to investigate, but I don't know the specific situation."

Cao Cao frowned: "What are Lu Bu doing?"

Han Hao suddenly spoke again: "Mr. Cao Fu, before I came, I learned that Lu Bu came to Hanoi from Yuan Benchu."

"Benchu?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment: "Is this matter related to Yuan Benchu? Could it be..."

It would be fine if I didn't say it, but when I mentioned Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was not afraid to speculate on him with the worst malicious intentions.

The reason is nothing more than that what he did in the past few years shocked and disappointed Cao Cao.

Once upon a time, that passionate young man no longer existed.

When Yuan Shao was mentioned, Cao Cao couldn't help but think that Yuan Shao had something to do with this matter, and maybe it was Yuan Shao and Lu Bu conspiring to seize Yanzhou.

Cao Cao couldn't sit still.

Cao Ren couldn't sit still anymore, thought for a while, and said, "Brother, I'll let the army enter combat preparations first. Once something happens, I can lead the army to fight immediately."

“This is correct.”

Cao Cao nodded.

Two days later, the spy sent by Cao Cao came back to report, and the news of the report confirmed that Han Hao's warning was correct.

Lu Bu attacked Chenliu County and led his troops to plunder. Chenliu County was in chaos, and a large number of refugees began to flee to the southwest of the East County.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and pounded the table hard, and then immediately took action.

He told Cao Ren the news and suggested that Cao Ren immediately lead 2,000 garrison troops to Changyuan County to defend and organize defense lines. He would also lead 1,000 garrison troops and some county soldiers to Yan County to prevent Lu Bu from leading his army to Dongjun north and disrupting Dongjun.

Then Cao Cao immediately began to write a warrant, sending it to each county town, and ordered the whole county to enter a state of combat readiness.

After Guo Peng entered Qingzhou, he set a rule for combat readiness, not only targeting the army, but also targeting counties and counties.

Usually, each county does not have much garrison force, only hundreds of county soldiers, and its combat power is limited. However, once it enters a state of combat readiness, the county prefect can open the arsenal and recruit strong men to join the army temporarily to protect the most important city.

At the same time, carry out a campaign to clear the land, and do not give the enemy a chance to replenish supplies on the spot.

The prefect of the county and the county magistrates must lead the recruited strong men to guard the city tightly, prevent the city from being in trouble, block the enemy's troops, and wait for the army to come to support.

At the same time, Cao Cao immediately sent 600 miles to Lu County to quickly rush to tell Guo Peng the news and asked Guo Peng to lead his army to aid.

He was very worried that this matter was not only Lu Bu's participation, but also Yuan Shao's participation!

If Yuan Shao attacks Dongjun from behind...

Cao Cao was immediately in trouble, not knowing whether he should stay in Puyang or go to Yan County to set up defenses.
Chapter completed!
