In short, Cao Ren is vomiting blood in depression, but he has to accept it. Lu Bu, who is the 30th best general in the military generals list, is really not a boaster. He can kill thousands of people by himself. He really can no longer have fun.
At this time, Cao Ren no longer had any thoughts of conquering Lu Bu. He now only prayed that he could complete his original goal, which was to swallow Xi Xianbei intact.
But after sending people to Jiuyuan, the news they received almost made Cao Ren angry to death. It was not that they were unwilling to help, Chen Gong said that he did not have enough troops and was trying his best to conquer his homeland.
Whether the homeland is more important or the annihilation of Xianbei is more important, for people of this era, there is no need to think too much. The land is far more important than killing the enemy, especially when the victory has been completely established, the land that is eaten is one's own. .
Cao Ren also recognized the concept, and he wanted Lu Bu to help. The problem was that Chen Gong directly stated that Lu Bu was still ahead to defeat Xianbei, and the debaters sent by Cao Ren had no choice.
Speaking of which, in this situation, Chen Gong, in order to express his gratitude to Cao Cao for providing them with food and grass, planned to lend his only general Cheng Lian to Cao Ren. Naturally, Cao Ren declined.
One more Cheng Lian and one less Cheng Lian mean nothing at all. Of course, Cao Ren understands Chen Gong's intention, but there is no other way. Chen Gong has made it clear that he has more than enough intentions but not enough power.
Now Cao Ren had no choice. He wanted his 30,000 troops to leave the Great Wall and fight Xianbei directly in the field when it was not a decisive battle. Cao Ren thought it was better to give up. No matter how low Xianbei's morale was, there were still more than 200,000 troops. It was no joke. of.
Liu Bei naturally didn't know the twists and turns between Cao Ren and Chen Gong. Although people like Guo Jia and Jia Xu who knew people's minds could guess part of it, it was still difficult to accurately reconstruct the psychology of Cao Ren and Chen Gong. .
"In other words, Cao Cao's battle against Xianbei was in vain this time?" Chen Xi said with a helpless look. He still has a lot of insight into which is more important: restoring the soil or destroying the enemy's effective forces, but it is a pity that he is not commanding this battle. .
"It's basically a failure. If Lu Bu doesn't help him stop Xianbei from behind, the result is basically doomed. Xianbei will suffer 30,000 to 50,000 casualties, but within a few years. The Xianbei people will never set foot in Bingzhou." Li You He said with emotion on his face.
"Let's see if Cao Ren's courage is enough when we come down. If so, he should continue to engage in low-intensity battles with the Xianbei army to hone his soldiers." Yu Jin said at this time. He is very talented at training soldiers.
"No training is more tempering than battlefield fighting, and this kind of low-intensity battlefield fighting not only has minimal casualties, but also accumulates battlefield experience." Yu Jin said based on his own experience.
Yu Jin once bit the Black Mountain bandits and refused to exterminate them, just to keep the intensity of the war down. Extend the time line and allow more recruits to have battlefield fighting experience.
"That's it." Chen Xi thought about it and understood what was going on. "Then I guess Cao Ren will really follow up and bite Xianbei to fight."
Chen Xi's estimate was correct. Although it was very dangerous, Cao Ren, after weighing the combat effectiveness of both sides and Cao Cao's current situation, chose to bite Xianbei and engage in a sustained, low-intensity battle.
But what should I say? Sometimes when you give up, God will give you a surprise, and Cao Ren was forcing Xianbei to leave Bingzhou. What a great surprise!
"Does this mean that the Xianbei tribe will definitely come to Youzhou as a group next year?" Zhang Fei's mind suddenly changed at this time, and he asked with a tangled look on his face.
"That's natural. As long as Xianbei doesn't have a clue, he will definitely not go to Bingzhou." Jia Xu said with a simple and honest look on his fat face.
Zhang Fei almost spat blood on Jia Xu's face. Jia Xu was the only rich man among Liu Bei's advisers. Even Mi Zhu couldn't keep up with him. But for such a sinister person, no matter how simple and honest his expression was, he was clearly cheating!
"That's it. Yide, Youzhou will depend on you in the coming year." Liu Bei also nodded. What Jia Xu said was really rough but not rough. Xianbei will definitely not attack Bingzhou.
"Go to Youzhou early to make arrangements after the New Year. After the New Year, you can go, three generals." Chen Xi did not hide his smile, "We will cheer for you then."
"Huh!" Zhang Fei exhaled, "Watch me poke dozens of holes in Xianbei!"
"You have to have such momentum." Chen Xi said with a smile. In fact, after Lu Bu's information was sent, Chen Xi's first reaction was that Zhang Fei's opponent was here.
Regardless of whether Zhang Fei is a second-rate person. He is still upright. One thing he has never changed is that he refuses to admit defeat, especially Lu Bu. No matter how many times he loses, he will catch up. Although it seems that he has not closed the distance now, at least he has not been pulled away. ah!
Zhang Fei's first reaction after hearing the news from Lu Bu was that Lu Bu has become stronger again and he needs to work harder. Since Lu Bu can defeat Xianbei, Zhang Fei can definitely do the same, and he can definitely do better. !
This is why Zhang Fei, who was still a little worried at first, now has burning fighting spirit in his eyes. He just wants to fight Lu Bu.
Even though Lu Bu has been cleared now, few people mention the fact that he killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. Most of the time when Lu Bu is mentioned, they lament that what he did in the past was not authentic. Now he is doing a good job guarding the border in the north. His force is really good. Second to none.
After the Battle of Bingzhou spreads throughout the world, it is estimated that no one will mention Lu Bu's past anymore. It is destined that righteousness can whitewash everything.
However, from Zhang Fei's point of view, unhappiness is just unhappiness. He will not hide his unhappiness with Lu Bu. Even if he recognizes Lu Bu's strength in terms of force, it is absolutely impossible to prevent him from competing with Lu Bu.
If you don’t like it, you just don’t like it. It’s so realistic that I, Zhang Fei, want to fight you Lu Bu. If I can’t beat you now, I will continue to work hard. If you do well, then I will do better. Sooner or later, I will catch up!
Zhang Fei never hides his thoughts, and he also doesn't bother to hide them. Even if he is ridiculed by others because of his failure, he will work hard until one day he reaches his goal.
Therefore, after Zhang Fei learned that Lu Bu had killed Xianbei, he completely wiped out any doubts about himself in his heart. If Lu Bu could do it, then he must be able to do it, and do it better, otherwise he would talk about it. How beyond!
Chen Xi also saw the fighting spirit burning in Zhang Fei's eyes, and then remembered the story of Zhang Fei and Lu Bu. Unlike the previous life where he was disdainful of his character and dissatisfied with the strength he used, in this life Zhang Fei is obviously complicated towards Lu Bu. Too much.
