However, Sun Quan was packing up the military horses at Ruxukou, and suddenly reported that Cao Cao led 400,000 troops from Hanzhong to rescue Hefei. Sun Quan and his advisers planned to first assign Dong Xi, and Xu Sheng and his two men led fifty large ships to ambush at Ruxukou. He ordered Chen Wu to lead his men and horses to patrol the river bank.

Zhang Zhao said, "Now Cao Cao is coming from afar, we must first slash his spirit." Quan then asked the tent and said, "Cao Cao is coming from afar, who dares to defeat the enemy first to suppress his spirit?" Ling Tong came out and said, "I am willing to go." Quan said, "How many troops will be brought?" Tong said, "Three thousand people are enough."

Gan Ning said, "You only need a hundred cavalry to defeat the enemy, why not three thousand!" Ling Tong was furious. The two competed in front of Sun Quan. Quan said, "Cao's army is powerful, so don't underestimate the enemy." He ordered Ling Tong to lead three thousand troops out of Ruxukou to provoke. When he met Cao's soldiers, he fought with him. Ling Tong ordered him to lead three thousand men and horses to leave Ruxuwu. At the dust head, Cao's soldiers arrived early. The vanguard Zhang Liao and Ling Tong fought for 50 battles, and did not distinguish between victory and defeat. Sun Quan was afraid that Ling Tong would be defeated, so he ordered Lu Meng to take him back to the camp. When Gan Ning saw Ling Tong return, he immediately told Quan, "I would rather take only one hundred men and horses to rob Cao's camp tonight; if one man and one horse is broken, it would not be a merit."

Sun Quan promoted it, so he allocated 100 elite horse soldiers under the tent to Ning; he also rewarded the soldiers with fifty bottles of wine and fifty pounds of mutton. Gan Ning returned to the camp and taught 100 people to sit. He first poured a silver bowl of wine and ate two bowls of himself. He said to the hundred people: "Tonight, I am ordered to rob the village, and I ask the princes to drink a full cup and try to move forward." When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. Seeing that everyone was in a difficult mood, Gan Ning drew his sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "I am the general, and I will not hesitate; why do you hesitate!" Everyone saw Gan Ning's despicable appearance, they all stood up and said, "I wish to die." Gan Ning had finished eating with the hundred people, and made an appointment to take the white goose feather at the second update.

One hundred, inserted into the helmet as a horn; they all wore armor and rode on the edge of Cao Cao's village, pulled out the antlers, shouted, rushed into the camp, and rushed straight to the central army to kill Cao Cao. It turned out that the central army was surrounded by chariots and guarded the road, surrounded by iron barrels, and could not advance. Gan Ning only led a hundred cavalry and rushed left and right. Cao's soldiers were panicking, not knowing how many enemy soldiers were, and they disturbed each other. Gan Ning's hundreds of cavalry were galloping in the camp, and they would kill each other when they happened. The battalions clamored, raised fire like stars, and shouted loudly. Gan Ning rushed out of the south gate of the village, and no one dared to take action. Sun Quan ordered Zhou Tai to lead a soldier to support him. Gan Ning brought the hundred cavalry back to Ruxu. Cao's soldiers were afraid of ambushing.

, dare not pursue. Later generations praised the poem: "The sound of drums is coming, and the ghosts and gods are everywhere! Hundred feathers run straight through the Caojia Village, all talking about Gan Ning's tiger generals." Gan Ning led hundreds of cavalry to the village, without breaking one person and one horse. When he arrived at the camp gate, he ordered all the people to beat the drums and flutes, saying "Long live" and the joy was shocked. Sun Quan came to greet him. Gan Ning dismounted his horse and bowed. Quan helped him up and said with Ning, "The general is so shocked that the old thief is gone. It is not that he is alone, but he is just trying to see you!" He then gave a thousand pieces of silk and a sharp knife. Ning received it and rewarded a hundred people. Quan said to the generals, "Meng De had Zhang Liao, and Gan Xingba was enough to fight against each other."

The next day, Zhang Liao led his troops to fight. Seeing that Gan Ning had made great contributions, Ling Tong said excitedly, "Tong wants to fight Zhang Liao." Quan agreed. Then Tong led 5,000 troops to Li Ruxu. Quan led Gan Ning to watch the battle. In the round, Zhang Liao took off his horse, Li Dian on the left and Le Xing on the right. Ling Tong rode his horse with a sword and came out to the front of the formation. Zhang Liao sent Le Xing in and out to welcome him. Two fights were 50 times, but the victory and defeat were not decided. When Cao Cao heard that, he personally rode his horse to the door flag to see him. Seeing the two generals fighting hard, he ordered Cao Xiu to secretly fire a cold arrow.

Cao Xiu flashed behind Zhang Liao, and fired an arrow. Ling Tong sat down at the horse. The horse stood upright and overturned Ling Tong to the ground. Le Jin hurriedly stabbed him with a gun. Before the gun arrived, he heard the sound of the bowstring, and shot Le in front of the door and fell off the horse. The two armies came out together, each rescued a general and returned to the camp, and stopped fighting. Ling Tong returned to the village to thank Sun Quan. Quan said, "The person who sent the arrow to save you is Gan Ning." Ling Tong paused his head and bowed to Ning and said, "I don't want you to be so kind!"

Gan Ning became a friend of life and death, and would not do evil again. Let’s talk about Cao Cao’s attack when he saw Le Jin and ordered him to go to the tent to be transferred. The next day, he divided his troops into five groups to attack Ruxu: Cao led the middle route; Zhang Liao on the left, Li Dian on the second route; Xu Huang on the right, and Pang De on the second route. Each route brought 10,000 people and horses to the riverside. At that time, Dong Zhi and Xu Sheng saw five generals coming on the boat. The soldiers were each afraid of each other. Xu Sheng said, “Why are you afraid of eating the king’s fortune and loyalty to the king!”

Hundreds of people crossed the riverside with small boats and rushed into Li Dian's army. Dong Zhi was on the boat and ordered the troops to beat drums and cheer. Suddenly, the wind blew heavily on the river, and the waves were surging. The soldiers saw the general of the ship covering the boat and rushed to escape. Dong Xi cried out loudly, "The general was ordered by the emperor to defend against the thieves here, how dare he abandon the boat and leave!" He immediately killed more than ten soldiers from the boat. After a moment, the wind was overturned by the ship, and Dong Xi died in the water of the river mouth. Xu Sheng was in conflict with Li Dian's army.

But Chen Wu heard about the fight on the riverside and led an army to come. He was meeting Pang De and the two armies fought in a melee. Sun Quan was in Ruxuwu. He heard that Cao soldiers were fighting on the riverside and personally led the army to assist the war with Zhou Tai. Just as Xu Sheng was fighting in a group in Li Dian's army, he led the army to fight. However, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's two armies trapped Sun Quan in Gaixin. Cao Cao went up to Gaofu and saw Sun Quan being surrounded. He urgently ordered Xu Zhu to rush into the army with a sword, and to storm Sun Quan's army into two sections, and could not save each other.

However, Zhou Tai broke out from the army and went to the riverside. He disappeared from Sun Quan. He pulled his horse back and rushed into the formation from outside. He asked the army of our army: "Where is the lord?" The soldier pointed to the thick place of the troops and said: "The lord is very anxious to be surrounded!" Zhou Tai stepped in and found Sun Quan.

Tai said, "The lord can follow Tai to kill him." So Tai was in front and Quan was behind, and he was in conflict. Tai went to the riverside and turned around but did not see Sun Quan, so he turned over and rushed into the shortlist and found Sun Quan again. Quan said, "The bow and crossbow can be fired at the same time, so he can get out of the shortlist." Tai said, "The lord is in front and someone is behind, and can get out of the siege." Sun Quan then rode his horse forward. Zhou Tai was covered with guns on his left and right, and was shot through several arrows and arrows to save Sun Quan. When he arrived at the riverside, Lu Meng led a navy army to pick him up and get off the ship. Quan said, "I am defeated by Zhou Tai's three consecutive attacks and he was able to escape the siege.

But Xu Sheng was in Gaixin, how could he get rid of it?" Zhou Tai said, "I will save it again." Then he turned over and rushed into the siege and rescued Xu Sheng. The two generals were seriously injured. Lu Meng trained soldiers to shoot the soldiers on the shore in a row and rescued the two generals off the ship. However, Chen Wu fought with Pang De, and there was no response from behind. He was driven to the valley entrance by Pang De. Chen Wu wanted to turn around and fight, but was grabbed by Chuzhu and could not meet the enemy. He was killed by Pang De. Seeing that Sun Quan had escaped, Cao Cao rode his horse to drive the soldiers and rushed to the riverside to shoot. Lu Meng was panicking, and suddenly he arrived at Jiang's sect's ship, and was the leader.

The general, Lu Xun, the son-in-law of Sun Ce, led 100,000 troops to arrive. After a round of shooting, he took the opportunity to chase Cao's soldiers and seized thousands of horses. The Cao's soldiers were injured, and countless people were defeated. He found Chen Wu's corpse in the chaos. Sun Quan knew that Chen Wu had died, and Dong Xi died in the river. He was so sad that he sent people to find Dong Xi's corpse and buried him with Chen Wu's corpse. He was also moved by Zhou Tai's rescue efforts and paid for it. Quan personally put the cup and stroked his back, and burst into tears, saying, "You have saved each other twice, and you have been speared for dozens of guns. His skin is like a carved painting. What's the point of being alone?

Don't wait for you to give your kindness to your flesh and blood, and to entrust your soldiers and horses to the weight of your army! You are the meritorious minister of the Lord, and you should share the honor and disgrace with you, and be with you." After saying that, Zhou Tai asked Zhou Tai to take off his clothes and see him: his skin, flesh and skin were like a knife, and his roots were cut all over his body. Sun Quan pointed to his marks and asked him one by one. Zhou Tai said that he was injured in the battle. He ordered a cup of wine to eat a cup of wine. On that day, Zhou Tai was drunk. Quan gave it to him with a green umbrella and asked him to go in and out of Zhang Gai, thinking that he was radiant. Quan was in Ruxu, and refused to win for more than a month. Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong said, "Cao Cao is powerful and cannot be taken; if he fights for a long time, he will be great.

To harm the soldiers: It is better to seek peace and peace as the people." Sun Quan followed his words and ordered Bu Zhi to go to Cao's camp to seek peace. Xu Nian paid tribute every year. Seeing that Jiangnan was in a hurry, Cao followed him and ordered: "Sun Quan first withdrew his troops, and then I will train his troops." Bu Zhi replied, Quan only kept Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai guarded Ruxukou, and sent all the troops to board the boat and return to Moling. Cao stayed Cao Ren, Zhang Liaotun Hefei, and returned to Xuchang. All the civil and military officials all agreed to make Cao Cao the King of Wei. The Secretary of Shangshu Cui Yan said no. All the officials said, "Do you just don't see Xun Wen?" Yan was furious and said, "Is it time? Is there any change? Let's do it yourself!"

Someone who was incompatible with Yan told Cao. Cao was furious and took Yan to prison and asked him. Yan had a tiger's eyes and beard, but he just scolded Cao Cao for bullying the king and traitor. The court guard Bai Cao, Cao ordered the stick to kill Cui Yan in prison. Later generations praised him, "Cui Yan, Qinghe, is a strong nature; he is a treacherous person, and has a heart of iron and stone; he is treacherous and evil, and has a high voice; he is loyal to the Han lord, and has a reputation for his eternal reputation!"

In May of the summer of the 21st year of Jian'an, the ministers expressed their support to Emperor Xian to praise the merits of Cao Cao of Wei. It was beyond the sky and the earth. It was beyond the reach of the Zhou Dynasty, so it was suitable to be promoted as the king. Emperor Xian ordered Zhong Yao to draft an edict and enthrone Cao Cao as the king of Wei. Cao Cao pretended to write three letters. The edict refused to allow it. Cao then ordered the king of Wei to receive the title of King of Wei, crowned twelve tassels, rode a golden chariot, drove six horses, used the emperor's carriage to patrol the Luanyi, went out to guard the palace of Wei, built the Wei palace in Ye County, and discussed the establishment of the crown prince. Cao Cao's eldest wife, Mrs. Ding, had no sons. The concubine Liu gave birth to a son, Cao Ang, and died in Wancheng when he was conquering Zhang Xiu. The four sons born to Bian were: Pi, the second was Zhang, the third was Zhi, and the fourth was Xiong. So he dismissed Mrs. Ding and made Bian the queen of Wei. The third son, Cao Zhi, whose courtesy name was Zijian, was extremely clever and wrote a pen to complete the chapter.

Cao wanted to make him a descendant. The eldest son Cao Pi was afraid that he would not be able to make him, so he asked Jia Xu, the senior official. Xu taught this. Since then, whenever Cao went on a war and his sons saw him off, Cao Zhi praised his merits and spoke in a good manner. However, Cao Pi said he was just crying and bowing, and his left and right were sad. So Cao suspected that Zhi was well-behaved and was not as sincere as Pi. Pi asked someone to buy advice from his servants, all of whom were talking about Pi's virtues. Cao wanted to make his descendant, but he was hesitant, so he asked Jia Xu, "Who should I set up a descendant?" Jia Xu did not answer, Cao asked why, Xu said, "I thought about something, so I couldn't answer immediately." Cao said, "What do you think?" Xu replied, "I thought about Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng, father and son." Cao laughed loudly, and then made his eldest son Cao Pi the prince.

In October of winter, the palace of the King of Wei was established, and sent people to collect strange flowers and fruits from all over the place to plant the back garden. An envoy went to Wu and saw Sun Quan, and sent the King of Wei to Wenzhou to get the tangerines. At that time, Sun Quan asked the King of Wei to choose more than 40 tans of large tangerines in this city and sent them to Ye County at night. On the way, the servant carried the lords and the servants were tired and rested at the foot of the mountain. When he saw a gentleman, he had a glimmer of eyes, a limp foot, a white vine crown, and a blue lazy robes. He came to greet the porter and said, "You are working hard, how can I carry you shoulders?" Everyone was overjoyed. So the gentleman carried each load of five miles. But the burdens he carried were lighter. Everyone was surprised. Before leaving, the gentleman said to the official who led the tangerines: "I am an old friend of the King of Wei, with his surname Zuo, his name is Ci, his name is Yuanfang, and his name is Wujiao. If you go to Ye County, you can say Zuo Ci is a good person." Then he left.

When the man took the mandarin, he saw Cao in Ye County, and presented him with the mandarin. Cao personally cut him off, but he only had empty shells and there was no flesh inside. Cao was shocked and asked the mandarin.

The man took the oranges and responded to Zuo Ci's affairs. Cao was not willing to believe it, and the doorman suddenly reported, "There is a gentleman who called himself Zuo Ci and asked to see the king." Cao summoned him. The man took the oranges and said, "This is the person you saw on the way." Cao scolded him and said, "What magic do you use to capture my good fruit?" Ci smiled and said, "How is this happening!" He took the oranges and cut them, and there was meat inside, which tasted very sweet. But Cao cut them himself, and they were all empty. Cao became more surprised, so he gave Zuo Ci to sit and ask him. Ci asked for wine and meat.

Cao ordered him to drink for five buckets and not get drunk, and eat meat and sheep without being full. Cao asked, "What skills do you have to do to this?" Ci said, "I was in Emei Mountain in Jialing, Xichuan. After 30 years of learning Taoism, I suddenly heard a call from the stone wall calling me. When I looked at it, I couldn't see it. I was like this for a few days. Suddenly, the thunder of heaven shook the stone wall and got three volumes of the heavenly book, called "Dunjia Tianshu". The first volume was called "Tian Dun", the middle volume was called "Di Dun", and the second volume was called "Man Dun".

The escape can soar clouds and cross the wind and ascend to the vast exile; the escape can penetrate mountains and stones; the escape can travel around the world, hide its shape and transform, fly swords and throw swords, and take the head of a person. The great prince's throne is at its peak, why not retreat and follow me to practice in Mount Emei? We should teach you three volumes of heavenly books." Cao said, "I have also thought about the rapids and retreat bravely, but the court has not yet obtained the person." Ci smiled and said, "Liu Xuande of Yizhou is a descendant of the imperial family, why not let this position go with him? Otherwise, I should fly

The sword took your head." Cao was furious and said, "This is Liu Bei's careful work!" He drank and took it down. Ci laughed endlessly. Cao ordered dozens of prisoners to catch and torture him. The prisoners tried hard to beat Zuo Ci, but when they looked at Zuo Ci, they were sleeping soundly without any pain. Cao was angry and ordered the big shackles to take the iron nails, and the iron locks were locked, and they were sent to the prison to be inspected. The shackles fell and Zuo Ci lay on the ground without any damage. He was imprisoned for seven days without food.

When he was looking, Ci sat upright on the ground, and her face turned red. The prison guard reported to Cao Cao, and Cao took it out and asked him. Ci said, "I haven't eaten for decades, so it's okay; if I ate thousands of sheep on the sun, I can do it." Cao had no choice.

On that day, all the officials went to the palace for a banquet. When they were walking in the wine, Zuo Ci put on wooden shoes and stood in front of the banquet. The officials were surprised. Zuo Ci said, "The king is ready for water and land today. There are many foreign objects in all directions. What is missing in it? I am willing to take it." Cao said, "I want the dragon liver to be used as soup. Can you take it?" Ci said, "What's the difficulty?" He took the ink brush and drew a dragon on the pink wall. He brushed the sleeve of the robe, and the dragon's belly opened. Zuo Ci proposed a pair of dragon liver in the dragon's belly, and the blood was still flowing. Cao didn't believe it, so he scolded him and said, "You hide it in the sleeve first!" Ci said, "It's cold today, and the plants and trees died. The king wanted to love flowers very much, and he would do whatever he wanted." Cao said, "I only want peony flowers." Ci said, "Yi Er." He ordered the big flower pot to be placed in front of the banquet.

After that, a peony was released and the two flowers bloomed. The officials were shocked and invited Ci to sit and eat together. After a while, the cook entered the fish sashimi. Ci said, "The sashimi must be beautiful for Songjiang perch," Cao said, "How can you take it after a thousand miles of distance?" Ci said, "Why can you take it?" Ci said, "It's not difficult to take it!" He brought the fishing rod and fished it in the fish pond in the hall. In an instant, dozens of large bass were fished out and placed on the hall. Cao said, "There is this fish in my pond." Ci said, "Why do you deceive me? The bass in the world have only two cheeks, but Songjiang perch has four cheeks: this is something that can be distinguished." The officials looked at it, and it turned out to be four cheeks. Ci said, "Cooking Songjiang perch requires purple buds and ginger." Cao said, "Can you also take it?" Ci said, "Yi Er." He ordered to take a golden basin and cover it with his clothes.

After a moment, he got purple buds and ginger in the pot and went up to Cao. Cao took it with his hand, and suddenly there was a book in the pot, which was titled "Meng De's New Book". Cao took it and looked at it, and it was not a word. Cao was very suspicious, and Ci took the jade cup on the table and poured the fine wine into Cao and said, "The king can drink this wine for a thousand years." Cao said, "You can drink it first." Ci then pulled out the jade hairpin on the crown, and divided the wine into two halves; drank it by himself, and took half of it, and Cao scolded him. Ci threw the cup into the air, turned into a white dove, and flew around the hall. The officials looked up at him, but Zuo Ci didn't know where to go. The left and right suddenly reported: "Zuo Ci went out of the palace gate." Cao said, "Suo Ci must be eliminated! Otherwise, it will cause harm." So he ordered Xu Chu to lead three hundred iron armored troops to chase and capture him.

Chu got on the horse and led his army to the city gate. He saw Zuo Ci walking in front of the wood and walking slowly. Chu Fei chased him, but he couldn't catch up. He rushed to a mountain. A little sheep came and drove a flock of sheep. Ci walked into the flock. Chu took the arrow and shot him. Ci disappeared. Chu killed all the sheep and returned. The sheep boy kept the sheep and cried. Suddenly he saw the sheep's head on the ground making a speech and called the little boy, "You can put the sheep's head on the dead sheep's mouth." The little boy was shocked and covered his face and walked away. Suddenly he heard someone shouting behind him, "Don't be scared to leave, you will return the living sheep." The little boy looked back and saw Zuo Ci had gathered the dead sheep on the ground and rushed to the future. When the little boy was anxious to ask, Zuo Ci had already brushed his sleeves and left. He walked like flying, but he disappeared suddenly.

The little boy returned to the master, but the master did not dare to hide it, so he reported to Cao Cao. Cao painted pictures and captured Zuo Ci everywhere. Within three days, inside and outside the city, there were three or four hundred people who were caught, with a single eye, a limp foot, a white vine crown, a blue laziness, and a wooden shoe. They all looked like three or four hundred. They stirred up the streets. Cao ordered all the generals to splash blood of pigs and sheep and escort them to the churchyard in the south of the city. Cao Cao personally led 500 armored soldiers to surround them, and all of them were beheaded. Everyone had a green aura in each neck, and they gathered to the sky to form a Zuo Ci, and they called a white crane to ride a ride, clapping and laughing, "The earth rat follows the golden tiger, and the traitor hero will stop!" Cao ordered all the generals to shoot them with bows and arrows. Suddenly, the strong wind blew up, and the stones and sand were blowing; the corpses he had killed jumped up, carried their heads in their hands, and rushed to the Martial Arts Hall to attack Cao Cao. Civil officials and generals covered their faces and fell down, and they all ignored each other.
Chapter completed!
