Chapter 100: Lu Bu surrenders to Cao

"Ms. Cai, people cannot be resurrected by death. Please feel sorry for me. I believe that Mr. Cai has a spirit in heaven, and I will not want to see the lady so sad." Ma Chao sighed in his heart, took off his brocade robe, put it on her body, and reached out to help her up.

"Come here, carry Mr. Cai's body onto the carriage. When you return to Jia County, you must be buried with a grand ceremony." Although Ma Chao felt that he was a little abrupt in doing this, he really didn't want to see Cai Yan. If he continued like this, Ma Chao was a little nervous, afraid that Cai Yan would be excited for a moment and screamed. When he met her, he was speechless and his heart calmed down.

Cai Yan's confused expression seemed to have become petrified. With Ma Chao's support, she quietly got on the carriage, but the sadness in her eyes seemed to be the frost in the cold winter, giving people a bit of coldness.

When Ma Chao saw her expression, he knew that it was caused by a knot in his heart. It would probably take some time to recover.

"What's your surname? Are you willing to move forward?" Ma Chao stood beside the carriage and looked at Cai Xin and asked.

"Cai Xin, the subordinate, is willing to serve the Grand Tutor." Cai Xin was moved when he heard that Ma Chao was going to bury Cai Yong for a grand ceremony. When he met Ma Chao and asked him, he naturally nodded and responded.

"Okay, you drive the carriage and follow us. As for your soldiers, if you are willing to follow us, go together. Those who are willing to go home can also leave on their own." Ma Chao said in a deep voice, walked to his war horse, and flew onto the war horse.

With Cai Xin's response, the soldiers finally chose to follow Ma Chao. Seeing this situation, Ma Chao couldn't help but look at Cai Xin. This man who looked big and thick could actually get the support of the soldiers. I think he had some skills to come.

"Your team will ride with them." Ma Chao pointed at the soldiers in the front row and shouted. After all the soldiers boarded the war horses, the troops continued to march towards Jia County.

However, after Lu Bu was defeated in Tongguan, he led 800 remaining cavalry soldiers and walked along the way. Unexpectedly, he walked a fork in the mountains. He was originally planning to withdraw from Hongnong, but unexpectedly came to Xingyang territory.

Therefore, when Lu Bu and his team of 800 people first entered the ground of Xingyang, they were discovered by scouts arranged outside the city by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who was in charge of Xingyang, received a report from the scout that when a team of people came outside the city, he immediately ordered the four generals Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and Li Dian to lead 2,000 troops and ambush in the dense forest outside the city.

When Lu Bu dragged his wounded body and led the soldiers who were trapped in the trap, the Cao army made a sound of a clapper, and the Cao army, who had been ambushing for a long time, shouted and surrounded Lu Bu's hundreds of troops at the core.

When Lu Bu looked around, he was filled with crossbowmen waiting for him, he was frightened and held his wounded body and shouted: "I am Lu Bu. I don't know that general is here. I hope to report it to you that Bu is willing to serve."

"Put down your weapons and take you to see my lord." Xiahou Dun came out of the horse and shouted loudly.

Lu Bu is not a fool either. Knowing that he could not break through, he had to choose to surrender. At that moment, he had to order: "Listen to my order, put down his weapons, and abandon his horse!"

When Lu Lubu led the soldiers to the front of the formation, Cao's army rushed forward, tied them up, and escorted them into Xingyang City.

In the lobby of Xingyang City, Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly and stared at Lu Bu for a while. He was both happy and worried. If he was happy, he would catch Lu Bu and consider whether to accept Lu Bu's surrender. He had seen Lu Bu's bravery with his own eyes at Hulao Pass that day. Today, this powerful general was willing to surrender to him. He was naturally extremely happy, but his suspicious personality made him hesitate for a moment.

"General Cao, I, Lu Bu, is a straightforward person. If you don't want to accept it, Bu can only die. Just think that I, Lu Bu, took it aside and believed the general incorrectly!" Lu Bu really didn't want to die like this, so he changed his mind and hurriedly said.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally laughed happily and said, "Fengxian is a hero of the world. Cao also has the heart to kill him. Come and release him. Please let go of General Lu."

"Thank you for General Cao's grace for not killing me, Bu will tell you in a secret." Lu Bu was grateful for Cao Cao's life, and he was grateful in his heart. In order to repay his kindness, he immediately changed the topic and said loudly.

"Oh, Fengxian, come quickly." Cao Cao couldn't help but become interested and asked anxiously.

"Meng Degong, I'm afraid I don't know that Ma Chao was the first to act righteously, but he took advantage of the opportunity of the coalition of the princes of Kanto to restrain Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, but he led his army to capture Yongzhou. Now his army is in charge of Tongguan, and he cannot stand by the natural barrier. Dong Zhuo's road to Chang'an is broken, and the general is guarding this place. What if Dong Zhuo suddenly returns to the army to counterattack Luoyang, how can the general resist?" Lu Bu didn't know at this time that Dong Zhuo had already led the leading troops and crossed the Yellow River north to the north.

When Cao Cao heard the news, his face changed drastically. After thinking, he said, "Yuan Rang (Xahou Dun), you immediately arranged for all the spies to go to Hongnong to explore and closely monitor the signs of Dong thief."

"Abide by the order!" Xiahou Dun immediately turned around and left after receiving the order.

"...Haha, I have Fengxian's help, so why should I be afraid of Dong's thief?" Cao Cao's eyes turned sharply, and he laughed loudly, and shouted: "Come here, take General Fengxian to wash up and bandage the wound. I will have a happy banquet tonight."

"Mancheng (Li Dian), please arrange the food and food of the soldiers under Lu Bu's troops. If any injured person is injured, he will be treated immediately." Cao Cao said in a deep voice after Lu Bu left.

"Abide by the order!" Li Dianling Nuo went.

"Lord, has this Lu Bu really surrendered?" Xiahou Yuan asked with some difficulty in paying attention.

A bright light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes and said confidently: "Lu Bu is a tiger in the mountains. Now he is in poverty and is here to surrender. It is not true or false. As long as I can suppress him, he will surrender. If I can't suppress him, it will surrender. The way to use people depends on how you control it."

"The order for all battalions to be strictly prepared from today to prevent sudden changes." Cao Cao remembered the news that Lu Bu said. While worried about Dong Zhuo's counterattack, he also firmly imprinted the name Ma Chao in his heart. His natural keen intuition told him that Ma Chao would definitely be his strong enemy in the future.

Luoyang City.

Since the food and grass of the coalition forces of the princes was burned down, the food and grass of the coalition forces gradually became scarce. On that day, the prefect of Yanzhou Liu Dai received a secret report and learned that the prefect of Dongjun Qiao Maoxin had transported a batch of food and grass, and then went to borrow food, but was rejected.

In anger, Liu Dai led his army to attack Qiao Mao's camp that night and killed Qiao Mao in the camp. After acquiring his army, Liu Dai led his army back to Yanzhou with the confiscated grain.

When Gongsun Zan saw that Dong Zhuo had left and Liu Bei's brothers had also left, he knew that it was useless to stay in Luoyang, so he immediately led his troops back to Peiping.

Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was about to become the leader of the alliance in a blink of an eye. Seeing that most of the princes had left, he had to ask the prefect of Qi Henoi Wang Kuang, the prefect of Shangdang Zhang Yang, and the governor of Jizhou Han Fu to jointly set up the camp and leave Luoyang to the east.

Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, then led his troops away, and the coalition of princes collapsed.

It is said that when Sun Jian returned to Jingzhou, he was intercepted by Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou because of the leak of the jade seal. The two sides fought a great battle and each suffered losses and returned with their own losses. Under the persuasion of his general Huang Gai, Sun Jian temporarily avoided Liu Biao's edge, abandoned the position of the prefect of Changsha, and instead captured Chaisang, leading the prefect of Chaisang, and implicated the tiger's view of Jiangdong.

Liu Bei on the other side also met Chen Gong on the way to Qingzhou. As soon as they saw each other, Chen Gong immediately expressed his willingness to help when he learned that Liu Bei had the ambition to protect the world.
