Cao Jun's camp was built on an arched slope five miles away from the Qingshui River. In addition to the conventional fence, it was also filled with soil underneath, covering half of the fence to prevent cavalry charges. It was extremely strong.
In the camp, groups of armored soldiers, with swords across their waists, patrolled the camp.
Ta-ta-ta!
"Report."
A Cao Jun spy shouted and rushed in from outside the camp on horseback.
"Lord, Lu Bu's army has arrived 30 miles away and is quickly approaching here."
"What?"
Cao Cao, who was discussing matters with the generals, was shocked when he heard the news.
Xiahou Dun, who was standing at the bottom, changed his expression and said in shock, "Oh no, most of our army has gone to harvest food, and there are only a thousand people left in the camp. How can we resist?"
Cao Ren hurriedly raised his hand and said, "My lord, Lu Bu's army is powerful, why don't we leave for now?"
Hearing this, everyone shouted in unison, "Lord, please stay away from the edge for a while."
Just as everyone was exclaiming, a sneer suddenly came from the big tent.
"Lord, don't worry too much!"
As the voice fell, a man with a resolute face and some gray temples walked out of the crowd. It was Cao Cao's counselor Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu, named Zhongde, was a native of Dong'a, Dongjun, Yanzhou. He was brave and wise, and won the trust of Cao Cao.
Cheng Yu and Cao Cao's other four counselors, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia, are collectively called the five great counselors, which shows their talents.
But he was arrogant and arrogant. He was only loyal to Cao Cao and never cared about others, so everyone criticized him.
Cao Cao knew that Cheng Yu never liked to talk much, so if he stepped forward this time, he must have a plan. He was immediately overjoyed and asked with a smile.
"Zhongde, do you have any good ideas?"
Cheng Yu cupped his hands, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"My lord, although Lu Bu is brave, he has no strategy. Although Chen Gongtai has a strategy, he is too suspicious to be of any use."
At this point, Cheng Yu held up his hand again and said slowly, "Lord, there is a forest opposite the camp. Our army only needs to find some villagers to hide in the woods, and then wave flags and shouts to make it look like an ambush.
When Lu Bu led his army here and saw an ambush in the woods, he would definitely not dare to fight again and would definitely retreat and make plans. "
Xiahou Dun frowned, "Even if Lu Bu retreats, won't he still attack after he wakes up?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand, and then raised his hand to Cao Cao, "My lord, please send an order immediately to recall the troops and horses, and then ambush behind the Qinghe embankment.
When Lu Bu reacted, he thought our ambush was in the woods. When he launched an attack on the woods, our army rushed out from behind the embankment, and Lu Bu's army was bound to be in chaos.
At that time, the ambush behind the embankment and the soldiers and horses in the camp will all come out, and Lu Bu's army will be defeated. "
"Ha ha!"
When Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, the worry in his eyes disappeared and he couldn't help laughing.
"Zhongde, what a good plan!"
…
Ta-ta-ta!
"Report!"
A spy from Lu Bu's army galloped back from the official road and came to Lu Bu.
"I reported to Marquis Wen that Cao's army was guarding the camp and did not send any troops to fight."
"What?"
Lu Bu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Standing here, you can already see clearly the big flag erected by Cao Jun's camp, swaying in the wind.
With such a close distance, Cao Cao must have noticed him a long time ago, and maybe he was monitoring the movements on his side from behind the fence.
Cao Cao was afraid, it was absolutely impossible!
He has received so much support from Yuan Shao, and has long surpassed him in terms of strength.
Chen Gong rushed over and frowned slightly, "Marquis Wen, Cao Mengde didn't send troops to fight. Is it a lie?"
A spy on horseback circled around Cao Jun's camp for a while and hurried back to report.
"Reporting to Marquis Wen, although Cao Jun is guarding the camp, there don't seem to be many soldiers and horses in the camp."
Having said this, the spy turned around and pointed to the woods opposite the camp.
"There seems to be someone in the woods opposite the camp."
Lu Bu turned to look in the direction of the woods and said in a deep voice, "Send more people to the woods and make sure to find out more."
Chen Gong suddenly sneered, "It seems that Cao Mengde has already set up an ambush. When we attack the camp, the ambush in the woods will attack us from behind."
Lu Bu didn't say anything, staring closely in the direction of the woods.
After a while, a spy ran back from the edge of the woods and said, "To inform Marquis Wen, there is indeed someone in the woods."
Chen Gong's expression changed, "Marquis Wen, Cao Mengde has an ambush for a long time. If we continue to attack the camp, I'm afraid we will be ambushed. Why don't we retreat temporarily and make plans later?"
…
According to the original history, Lu Bu also suspected that Cao Cao had an ambush, so he retreated thirty miles.
By the time it was decided to attack by fire the next day, Cao Cao's army had returned overnight and was ambushing beside the river embankment.
As a result, Lu Bu was deceived and was defeated by the siege from two sides. He fled in panic.
After this battle, Lu Bu's army was severely damaged and could no longer fight back. He could only withdraw from Yanzhou and defect to Xuzhou.
At this point, the second Battle of Yanzhou ended with Cao Cao's victory again.
…
At this time, Lu Bu also felt the same way about Chen Gong's words. He pondered for a moment, nodded, and was about to order the withdrawal.
And at this moment, something happened that affected the entire war situation...
A small head suddenly popped out of the red rabbit horse's thick mane. He blinked and looked around, then spread his small wings and fluttered to Lu Bu's shoulder, rubbing Lu Bu's cheek affectionately.
twitter!
It's a pity that the little one's intimate performance not only did not make Lu Bu happy, but instead seemed to pour some oil on his irritable heart, and his anger instantly ignited.
Lu Bu reached out and grabbed the little one on his shoulder, and was about to throw it out, but when he saw the pitiful look in his eyes, his heart suddenly moved, and his hand movements froze.
Chen Gong was standing aside and saw Lu Bu holding a little bird in his hand. He was stunned there for a long time. He suddenly felt dissatisfied and was about to step forward to dissuade him.
The war is about to begin, but you still want to play with birds, alas!
Suddenly, Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter full of joy.
"Ha ha!"
Under Chen Gong's surprised gaze, Lu Bu threw the bird in his hand into the air and shouted loudly.
"Go!"
Chen Gong saw the little bird fly away and felt relieved, "Marquis Wen, we'd better retreat as soon as possible. Maybe something will change later?"
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Chen Gong. The doubts and uneasiness in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by smiles and confidence.
"Gongtai, don't worry, we'd better wait for the spies to come back before making a decision."
When Chen Gong heard these words, he thought that Lu Bu was waiting for the spies to come back.
But Lu Bu was the only one in the world who knew that what he was waiting for was not the spies on fast horses, but the little ones flying quickly through the air.
The attribute of the little one has clearly stated that Lu Bu can share sight with it.
This means that everything the little one can see, Lu Bu can also see.
Lu Bu stared closely at the little boy who was getting closer and closer to the woods, his eyes full of excitement.
Lu Bu only had one minute to share sight with the little boy, so he had to wait for the best time before he could use it.
