Cao Cao was an excellent military strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was good at ruling the army, knowing people, being good at tasks, and rich in strategy. He was often able to win with weak enemies and strong.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ma Chao and other fierce generals in the world have all experienced Cao Cao's tactics.
Lu Bu is a hero, but he often gives people the feeling of bravery. He can occupy a place in troubled times, as if it was just because of his bravery.
However, even the resourceful Cao Cao was once calculated by Lu Bu and almost put his life in his own city.
This incident started in 194 AD. Cao Cao's father was murdered by Xuzhou Mu and Tao Qian's generals. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the name of his father's revenge.
Cao Cao led the army to the east, but Yanzhou was empty. Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others took the opportunity to rebel and attracted Lv Bu and appointed him as Yanzhou herd.
Many counties and counties in Yanzhou, led by Chen Gong and others, responded one after another, betraying Cao Cao, and only Juancheng, Dong'e County, and Fan County were still in Cao Cao's hands.
At that time, Yanzhou was Cao Cao's basic plate, which should not be lost, so Cao Cao led his army back to the division and prepared to fight against Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took advantage of the opportunity of Puyang defender Xiahoudun to support Juancheng, and captured Puyang, so Cao Cao marched towards Puyang.
In the suburbs of Puyang, Cao Cao first raided Lu Bu's camp outside the city, and then encountered Lu Bu who came to support him.
The two sides fought fiercely. In the end, the two sides withdrew their troops one after another. Cao Cao uprooted the camp that was fighting each other with Puyang.
After eliminating the flanking threat, Cao Cao chose to besiege Puyang, and Lu Bu stood firm in the city. Cao Cao has not been able to break through the city.
has lost most of the Yanzhou site, and logistics supplies are difficult. As time goes on, the situation becomes more unfavorable for Cao Cao.
At the time when Cao Cao was in distress, there was a big family named Tian in the city of Puyang to inform Cao Cao that he was willing to act as an internal response and let Cao Cao enter the city to take Puyang.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he led his army into Puyang City from the east gate.
Generally speaking, the defender of the city has an insider, and the inside and outside are closed. After the siege troops enter the city smoothly, the defending troops are easy to be defeated due to the failure to deploy defenses in advance and cause the city to fall. .
A typical example is that Cao Cao captured Yecheng through Shenrong, and Lu Bu captured Xiaopei through Cao Bao.
Because he was in the suburbs of Puyang, Cao Cao had already experienced Lu Bu's combat capabilities. In order to defeat Lu Bu's defenders and take down Puyang City, Cao Cao set fire to the East Gate.
Han Xin once fought back and defeated Zhao’s 200,000 army with 12,000 people, and aroused his fighting power by putting the army to death. Cao Cao's approach is exactly this, and he conveys his determination to fight to death to the troops by avoiding his back.
However, all of this is one game, Lu Bu's trick to lure the enemy, Cao Cao entered Lu Bu's ambush circle when he entered Puyang City.
During the battle, Cao Cao was defeated by Lu Bu who was prepared and was in a very dangerous situation. Lu Bu's subordinates even took Cao Cao, but they didn't know Cao Cao. They were deceived by Cao Cao's saying, "It is Cao Cao riding a yellow horse in front of him" that Cao Cao was able to get away.
"The Spring and Autumn of Han Emperor": Buqi got Taizu and didn't know it, and asked: "Where is Cao Cao?" Taizu said: "It's the one who walks on the yellow horse." Buqi was the Taizu and chased the yellow horse. By.
Cao Cao escaped from the tiger’s mouth and fled to the East Gate, but the East Gate was still burning. He wanted to defeat Lu Bu in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he almost trapped himself in Puyang City, fulfilling Lu Bu's strategy.
Cao Cao finally survived the fire and rushed out of the city.
For Lu Bu, who likes to use force to conquer his opponents, this trick to lure the enemy is not like his style. It is most likely due to Chen Gong's plan.
Chen Gong persuaded Bao Xin and elected Cao Cao to become Yanzhou Mu; it was also Chen Gong who welcomed Lv Bu and rebelled against Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao to almost lose the entire Yanzhou.
For both Lu Bu and Cao Cao, Chen Gong once played an important role. He once made Cao Cao almost fall on his own turf, and he almost made Lu Bu fall in Xiapi city ahead of time.
