"let's go!"
Although Cao Mengde was reluctant, he could only make this determination.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
As Cao Mengde and others left, the morale of Cao's army was greatly reduced. Many soldiers saw that they could not escape and had no choice but to kneel down and surrender.
"No more fighting, I surrender!"
"Don't kill me, I surrender."
More and more Cao Jun soldiers chose to surrender, and only a handful of soldiers took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the camp and fled into the distance.
An hour later, the shouts of killing in Cao Jun's camp had disappeared, and the fire gradually extinguished, leaving only the faint smoke still floating in the camp.
…
Changyi.
It was daylight, and a soldier galloped into the city.
"Marquis Wen, I'm so happy. General Zhang and others have driven Cao Mengde away and occupied Cao's army camp."
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the news, "Great, General Zhang has made a great contribution this time."
Zhang Miao gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a pity that Cao Mengde ran away."
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Since I can defeat him once, I can defeat him a second time. Is his luck always so good?"
Xu Shu suddenly asked, "We have driven away Cao Mengde's troops this time. How is the food situation?"
"All the food that Cao's army had in the camp has been obtained by our army and is now being transported to Dingtao City."
"Very good!"
After hearing what the soldiers said, Xu Shu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, Cao's army came from afar, and now the food has been taken away by us again. This time, I'm afraid Cao Mengde is going to be hungry."
After hearing this, Lu Bu reacted suddenly and couldn't help but laugh up to the sky, "Mr. Yuan Zhi, you are right. This time, I am afraid Cao Mengde is really going to be hungry."
Zhang Miao's eyes brightened and he said slowly, "Although Cao Mengde still has soldiers and horses outside now, all the food has been snatched away by us. Once so many soldiers and horses run out of food, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Chen Gong nodded, "Meng Zhuo, you are right, Meng De is short of food now."
…
Xiahou Dun sat under a tree, looking at the official road in the distance, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Report!"
At this moment, a spy named Zhongma ran back, came to the front, jumped off his horse, raised his hands and said.
"General Xiahou, the Lu Bu army under surveillance has already set off."
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up and he was about to speak when he heard the soldier continue speaking.
"It's just that after Lu Bu's army left the camp, they did not come here, but returned in the direction of Changyi."
"What?"
Hearing the news, Xiahou Dun was surprised, "What did you say? Lu Bujun returned again. Why?"
The spy shook his head hastily, "I don't know. My subordinates and others were only monitoring the camp and didn't find anything unusual, so Lu Bu returned."
Xu Chu, who was standing aside, immediately shouted, "General Xiahou, since they want to go back, why don't we chase them and save them from running away?"
Li Dian frowned and said, "Lü Bu is extremely cunning. If he makes such a strange move, I'm afraid there must be a trick. We'd better be careful."
Xu Chu stamped his feet, "If we can just let them go like this, wouldn't our visit this time be in vain?"
Li Dian thought of his family's affairs, sighed, and said slowly, "General Xu, even if your trip is in vain, it is much better than falling for Lu Bu's kid's trick and causing the entire army to be annihilated."
Hearing these words, Xiahou Dun nodded, "General Li, you are right. Lu Bu's child is extremely cunning and we really have to guard against him."
Xiahou Dun used to think that Lu Bu was a reckless and ignorant person, but recently, he found that Lu Bu has become cunning now.
If not, how could he use tricks to capture Dingtao? Changyi and Juye were all easily captured by him.
It seems that Lu Bu'er is no longer the reckless and ignorant warrior he was before, but has become more scheming.
Now Xiahou Dun was wary of Lu Bu and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The example of Dingtao is there. He has already failed once. If he fails again this time, he may not be able to go back to see his lord.
After all, when he came out this time, he had already told his lord that if he could not complete the task, he would come and see him.
If the ambush mission fails, it won't hurt, but if you are beaten again and suffer heavy losses, I'm afraid you really have to raise your head to see him.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun turned to look at Li Dian and asked tentatively, "General Li, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses suddenly returned. In your opinion, what are they doing and planning?"
Hearing the question, Li Dian frowned, thought about it carefully, and said slowly.
"Perhaps, Lu Bu's son discovered our ambush, so he wanted to retreat?"
Li Dian had also been severely beaten by Lu Bu many times, and he had already become cautious, and no longer dared to show any contempt or carelessness.
Xiahou Dun nodded, "General Li, you are right. Only this reason can explain it."
Li Dian frowned even more when he saw that Xiahou Dun agreed with his point of view, "Since Lu Bu's son has discovered our traces, he also knows about our ambush.
Judging from Lu Bu's child's cunning, he might have a plan to retreat this time. "
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun was surprised, "General Li, what's the plan?"
Li Dian gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps, Lu Bu'er deliberately retreated in a big way, and then set up an ambush halfway. When we went to pursue, the ambush was all gone, and our army was defeated."
When Xiahou Dun heard these words, he nodded in agreement, "General Li, you are right, Lu Bu's son can indeed do such a thing."
At this point, Xiahou Dun suddenly sneered, "No matter what kind of ambush Lu Bu's son sets, even if he has all kinds of strategies, as long as we don't chase him, it will probably be of no use."
Li Dian nodded, "General Xiahou, you are right. You must be careful when fighting Lu Bu'er, otherwise you will fall into his tricks and the consequences will be disastrous."
Xu Chu on the side heard what the two said, but he was a little disapproving, "Are you too worried? Lu Bu'er just retreated, how could there be so much trouble?"
Li Dian waved his hand hurriedly, "General Xu, you must not underestimate Lu Bu."
At this point, Li Dian sighed and said, "General Xu, it's just because you misjudged Lu Bu's son. Didn't we suffer a lot?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but sigh, "General Xu, it was because he underestimated Lu Bu's son that the three cities of Dingtao were easily taken away by him. We have to be careful."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
The Three Cities of Dingtao were an eternal pain in Xiahou Dun's heart. Although he was angry in his heart, it also made him more careful.
