When Lu Bu heard this, he was immediately surprised and asked hurriedly, "Cao Fu, what do they want to persuade Xiahou Dun?"
Cao Fu cupped his hands and said slowly, "I want to persuade Xiahou Dun to come and attack Xiaopei."
Chen Gong suddenly asked, "Isn't Xuzhou afraid of getting burned?"
Cao Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know about the unnecessary matters. I am only responsible for passing the message. As for the outcome, I can only ask Marquis Wen to make a decision."
Lu Bu frowned, "Cao Fu, are you serious about this?"
Cao Fu nodded, "It's absolutely true. Xuzhou has sent Sun Qian to Dingtao. It won't be long before news comes back from there."
Lu Bu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Cao Fu, go back and tell General Cao that I am deeply grateful and will definitely repay you if you have the chance."
Cao Fu hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile.
"Now that Marquis Wen has understood my general's intentions, I won't delay any longer. I will take my leave and go back to tell my general the news."
After speaking, Cao Fu cupped his hands, turned and left.
Chen Gong looked at Cao Fu's leaving figure, frowned, and suddenly said, "Cao Bao did this because he wanted to join Marquis Wen?"
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Let's ignore this matter for now. Let's consider it first. Is it possible for Xiahou Dun of Dingtao to attack Xiaopei?"
After hearing this, Chen Gong nodded without hesitation, "Yes."
Lu Bu frowned and said slowly, "It seems that the battle here needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
Chen Gong nodded, "That's true, otherwise it would be too late by the time Xiahou Dun comes with his troops."
Lu Bu suddenly sneered and shouted to the door, "Zhang Hu!"
Zhang Hu hurriedly walked into the tent and said, "My subordinates are here."
Lu Bu said slowly, "Send someone back immediately to tell Wang Wenxing and ask him to build houses as soon as possible, mainly on the north side. The sooner the better."
Zhang Hu hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "I obey my orders."
After Zhang Hu left, Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong and said with a smile, "It's time for Xiahou Dun to have a taste of Wang Wenxing's masterpiece."
Chen Gong raised his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, our army is not strong enough, why not take this opportunity to recruit some soldiers?"
Lu Bu nodded, "That's fine. We can select some strong people from the refugees and train them more intensively."
At this point, Lu Bu paused and said slowly, "If Xuzhou also takes this opportunity to launch an attack, there will indeed be a shortage of troops."
…
The hazy moonlight shone on the branches, and the earth was silvery white, but in the woods, it seemed darker.
Lu Bu stood at the edge of the woods, listening to the news from a spy, but looking at the campfire in the distance.
"Marquis Wen, I have inquired clearly. The food is in the camp."
Lu Bu nodded, "Go and inquire again, and come back and report as soon as there is any information."
"I obey my orders."
Lu Bu looked at the camp in the distance and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect that the Mi family would have so much food."
Chen Gong smiled and nodded, "I really didn't expect that nearly 10,000 shi of food were sent."
Lu Bu suddenly thought of those refugees and sighed, "They don't have food, Gongtai, are you right?"
Hearing this, Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently, but said nothing.
Because he knew very well what Lu Bu meant when he said this!
He couldn't agree, but he couldn't object, let alone make suggestions.
Cheng Lian was already a little impatient and asked, "Marquis Wen, since we know the food is there, when will we take action?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "Wait a little longer. When they go to sleep, it won't be too late for us to take action."
After receiving this, Lu Bu turned to look at Cheng Lian and said with a smile, "Although we have more people than them, at least we can't make them suspicious of Lu You!"
Cheng Lian scratched his head and said, "Then we can only wait."
Everyone waited until the moon was in the sky before Lu Bu gave the order, "Go down with the order and take action immediately."
Following Lu Bu's order, the soldiers who had been prepared immediately rushed out of the woods and silently ran towards the camp.
…
Lu You sat in the Chinese army tent, frowning, and a slight cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to nervousness.
Ever since he told the news, he knew that the food would definitely be robbed. The only difference was that he didn't know when.
According to his experience, now that he has arrived in the East China Sea, the food should be delivered at noon tomorrow. Today should be the best opportunity.
According to the original plan, whenever Lu Bu's army came to rob food, he would immediately lead his troops to resist it, avoiding suspicion.
Just when Lu You was undecided, suddenly, bursts of killing sounds came from the distance.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Lu You raised his head suddenly and murmured, "It's finally here."
A soldier hurried in and said with a panicked face, "General Lu, it's bad, someone is coming to rob the camp."
Lu You stood up in a hurry and said loudly, "Come on, let's go take a look."
When Lu You walked out of the big tent, he saw fire everywhere and shouts of killing from everywhere.
Countless soldiers ran in the thick smoke, screaming in surprise.
Mi Fang and Li Fu came running from a distance and said loudly, "General Lu, they are coming to rob the camp again. Quickly lead your troops to resist. This time we must not let them take away the food."
Lu You nodded, "Second Young Master, don't worry, I will do my best."
Mi Fang suddenly sneered, "Don't worry, General Lu. If you can hold on this time, not only will they not be able to take away the food, but they might even catch them all."
Hearing this, Lu You couldn't help but be stunned and asked in confusion, "Second Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
Mi Fang smiled proudly and said, "General Lu, now that the matter has come to this, I might as well tell you that this group of troops is not the only one coming to escort the food this time."
Speaking of this, Mi Fang became even more proud, "There is another line of Xuzhou troops waiting 20 miles away. As long as General Lu holds on, Lu Bu's army will definitely be defeated when our reinforcements arrive."
Hearing these words, Lu You was immediately surprised, "Second Young Master, are you serious about this?"
Mi Fang nodded, "Of course it's true, otherwise, do you think I can still come?"
Lu You was secretly surprised and hurriedly jumped on his horse and shouted, "Everyone listen to the order and follow my general to kill the enemy."
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Lu You rode forward, gathering the remaining soldiers along the way, and rushed in the direction of the killing cry.
The Xuzhou Army received a sneak attack and was in chaos. People were panicked. Although Lu You kept shouting to restrain the remaining soldiers, more people were already scared and fled outside Daying.
Lu You sweated slightly on his forehead, his eyes kept looking around, and he kept complaining in his heart.
This time, it was originally to show goodwill to Lu Bu, but if reinforcements from Xuzhou arrived, Lu Bu's army was defeated and returned.
At that time, I am afraid that Lu Bu will not only not thank him, but also blame him for the defeat. If the loss is serious, he may even become an enemy, which is a good intention but a bad thing.
Lu You rushed over on horseback. When he saw a general wearing a yellow scarf rushing out from the front, he shouted, "The enemy general must not leave."
Lu You was secretly surprised when he saw that the opponent was skilled in marksmanship and extraordinary in martial arts, and hurriedly shouted, "Listen clearly, I am Xuzhou General Lu You. Do you dare to fight me for 300 rounds?"
When he shouted, he deliberately shouted his name loudly so that the other party could hear him clearly.
Although the opponent was not Lu Bu, but seeing him kill the enemy with a gun as fast as lightning, Lu Youbian felt that he was probably not the opponent. If he was picked by the opponent, wouldn't there be no place to complain.
Dajiang on the opposite side was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu You's shouting, and then shouted, "Well done, let me fight you."
Lu You saw that the opponent's shooting skills were slower and knew that he had heard his name. He was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly mounted his horse to meet him and stabbed out slowly with a spear.
Thanks to Lu You calling out his name, the person opposite him was officially Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
Zhang Liao was a powerful martial artist and could be said to be Lu Bu's number one subordinate. If he didn't know Lu You's identity, he might have chosen him.
Now that he knew it, Zhang Liao certainly wouldn't do this. Seeing the opponent's spear slowly stabbing him, he knew it was not a real fight, so he slowed down and blocked the opponent's spear.
The two men held their spears at each other, and when the two horses reached the nearest position, Lu You hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and tell Marquis Wen that there are reinforcements from Xuzhou 20 miles away. Find a way to deal with them quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Hearing this, Zhang Liao was startled and asked hurriedly, "How many people are there?"
Lu You shook his head, "I don't know."
The two exchanged a few words in a low voice quickly, but the two horses were completely separated and could no longer speak.
Zhang Liao turned his horse's head and rushed towards Lu You. When he saw the horse approaching, he roared.
"Let you taste my power."
As he spoke, the spear in Zhang Liao's hand shot out like lightning, heading straight for Lu You's throat.
When Lu You saw that the opponent's spear skills were as fast as lightning, he was immediately stunned and hurriedly waved his spear to block.
Zhang Liao's spear suddenly stopped, roared, and hit the barrel of Lu You's spear hard.
"let go!"
With a snapping sound, Lu You felt the strength in his hand suddenly increase, and when he heard Zhang Liao's shout, he hurriedly let go, and the spear was knocked away.
"No, the enemy general is too brave. I am no match for him."
Lu You shouted, immediately turned his horse's head and fled.
Zhang Liao did not give chase, and quickly turned his horse's head and ran towards the outside of the camp.
Lu Bu's attire is too eye-catching, especially the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand. As long as he shows it, no one will know about it!
In order not to arouse suspicion, Lu Bu did not go out to fight, but waited for news with Chen Gong outside the camp.
Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the soldiers had entered the camp and the Xuzhou army was retreating steadily.
"Marquis Wen, I'm afraid I'm about to get these three thousand stones of grain again, haha."
Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh, "Since Xuzhou is rich, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them send more!"
While the two were talking and laughing, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Lu Bu looked up. After seeing the person clearly, he frowned and murmured, "Why is Zhang Wenyuan back? Did something happen in the camp?"
Chen Gong said with a smile, "Maybe our army has captured the camp, and General Zhang rushed back to report the good news."
Lu Bu shook his head, but said nothing. He kept staring at Zhang Liao who was getting closer and closer, but he was confused in his heart.
Over the years, no matter how great the victory was, Zhang Liao never came back to report the news.
It would be possible if it was Cheng Lian who was overjoyed, but Zhang Liao was definitely not possible.
Just when Lu Bu was guessing, Zhang Liao had already galloped in front of him, jumped off the horse quickly, and there was sweat on his forehead.
"Marquis Wen, something bad has happened. The Xuzhou Army has reinforcements."
"What?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were surprised at the same time, "General Zhang, what did you say?"
Zhang Liao said hurriedly, "Marquis Wen, just now General Lu You came to send a message, saying that a large group of Xuzhou Army is 20 miles away and will arrive soon."
Chen Gong's expression changed, "No, if we rob the food, the speed will definitely be very slow. When the time comes, they will definitely catch up."
Lu Bu frowned and said slowly, "It seems that Xuzhou is still a little worried because they only sent Lu You's troops."
Chen Gong suddenly asked, "General Zhang, could it be Lu You who lied to us?"
Zhang Liao shook his head, "At that time, I saw Lu You looking in a hurry and with an eager look on his face. It seemed that he had just received the news, so he came here to deliver the news. It didn't look like he was lying."
Chen Gong's expression changed, "I heard that Liu Xuande's two brothers have extraordinary martial arts skills. If they come, I'm afraid something bad will happen this time."
After hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly thought of the three Liu Bei brothers joining forces at Hulao Pass, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Although Liu Xuande's martial arts is average, his two brothers are really powerful."
Chen Gong frowned, "It seems that Xuzhou has already prepared. If we grab these grains, we will not be able to move fast, and Xuzhou's large army of soldiers and horses will definitely catch up.
If you want to rob this batch of food, you may have to deal with these Xuzhou troops first. "
Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly brightened, "Marquis Wen, why don't we set up an ambush and catch him off guard?"
"ambush?"
Lu Bu frowned, "Where to set up an ambush? It's only a dozen miles away. How to set up an ambush?"
After hearing this, Chen Gong also reacted, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, have you forgotten about setting up an ambush last time?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "There are no mountains here, how can we set up an ambush?"
Zhang Liao suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, even if there is no mountain, if you want to set the effect last time, you should be able to do it."
Lu Bu reacted suddenly, "Are you talking about fire?"
Chen Gong smiled and nodded, "Yes, we are going to attack with fire."
Zhang Liao nodded, "Last time there was a mountain to block us. We set fire in two directions and we could drive the enemy to the other side of the river."
Chen Gong also laughed, "This time, as long as we set fire in three directions, we can drive them to the other side of the river."
Speaking of this, Chen Gong sneered. As long as the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army cross the river, their combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected. By then, what if they are prepared?
