"General Cao, Lu Bu's army has left the camp and returned towards Juye."
When Cao Hong heard this news, he couldn't help being stunned, "What did you say, they went back?"
Han Meng said in confusion, "Why did you go back? Why did you go back?"
Cao Hong turned to look at Lu Qian, "General Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's really strange, why would you go back? There is no reason!"
Han Meng yawned, "It's really unlucky. They were lying in wait all night, and they often went back. Aren't our trips in vain?"
Lu Qian shook his head, "General Han, it doesn't matter even if your trip is in vain. The main thing is why is this happening?"
At this point, Lu Qian paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for the two of them to answer his words, he shook his head and said.
"This thing is very strange. Lu Bujun came to rescue Dingtao. There is absolutely no mistake about this. But halfway through, he turned around and went back. Could it be that they didn't go to rescue Dingtao?"
Cao Hong nodded, "General Lu, you are right, why did Lu Bujun's troops go back?
No matter what, they had to reach Dingtao before they could choose to stay or go. Why did they choose to go back halfway? "
Han Meng suddenly said, "Tell me, did Lu Bu's army discover the traces of our army and that's why he returned?"
Lu Qian nodded, "What General Han said does make sense. Maybe Lu Bu's army really discovered our army's ambush and knew that it couldn't rush through, so he chose to return."
When Cao Hong heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Bu's army must be unprepared when they return. Wouldn't it be the best time to pursue him now?
He was about to speak, but suddenly he remembered what happened in Changyi and couldn't help but stop what he wanted to say.
Lu Bu is so cunning, could he really retreat so easily?
In other words, Lu Bu did it deliberately. On the surface, he was retreating, but maybe there was another intention behind it.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous to lead troops to chase him now?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Cao Hong's forehead, and he secretly said that it was very dangerous!
If he hadn't thought this through clearly, he might have been ambushed by Lu Bu, and by then he would have regretted it.
Lu Qian cupped his hands towards Cao Hong and said tentatively, "General Cao, since Lu Bu has retreated, why don't we pursue him and take the opportunity to destroy him?"
Hearing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Cao Hong's mouth, "General Lu, you still don't understand Lu Bu. He has become extremely cunning during this period. This general can be sure that if we catch up, we will be ambushed by Lu Bu. When we arrive, At that time, I would have regretted it!"
Han Meng on the side heard this and remembered the attack on Xiaopei, and couldn't help but nodded, "General Cao is right, Lu Bu is extremely cunning. Those red houses built around Xiaopei are simply annoying, like It’s like a turtle shell, you can’t hit it, you can’t get over it, it’s really a headache.”
Cao Hong nodded, "General Han, you must be more careful when fighting Lu Bu in the future, otherwise you will regret it if you fall into his ambush."
Having said this, Cao Hong sighed, "When we were in Changyi, I never expected that Lu Bu'er would make plans for those soldiers."
Han Meng and Han Meng also heard about Cao Hong's trick. They smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "General Cao, this trick of Lu Bu's son seems very simple, but no matter who you encounter, I'm afraid he will fall into the trick."
Waiting until almost noon, the spies came back again to deliver the news.
"General Cao, Lu Bu's army has returned and is not far from Juye."
Hearing the news, Cao Hong frowned, but he was a little confused. Could it be that Lu Bujun really wanted to retreat from Juye instead of setting up an ambush?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves from a distance. Soon, a Cao Jun soldier galloped from a distance. Seeing Cao Hong, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, cupped his hands and said.
"General Cao, my lord has an order for you to meet up with General Xiahou. You must be quick and don't miss anything."
"This star really wants to retire"
Upon hearing the news, Cao Hong couldn't help but be stunned and asked doubtfully, "What's going on? Why did you rush over to join us? Did something happen?"
The spy hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "General Cao, the camp has been occupied by Lu Bu's army. My lord wants to reorganize his troops and seek revenge from Lu Bu's army."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Hong stepped forward, grabbed the spy's shoulder, and asked angrily, "What did you just say? The camp was occupied by Lu Bu's army. Why is this happening? Tell me quickly?"
"General Cao, please calm down. After you and General Xiahou led their troops out of the camp, in the middle of the night, Lu Bu's army suddenly came from all directions and caught our army by surprise. As a result, the camp was also occupied by them. My lord, now I have already gone to meet General Xiahou, and I hope you will rush there as soon as possible without any delay."
"ah!"
Cao Hong looked up to the sky and roared angrily, "Little Lu Bu, you are hateful!"
Han Meng stared at the spy with wide eyes. After a long time, he suddenly turned to look at Lu Qian and asked in a trembling voice, "General Lu, Lu Bu's son doesn't have many troops. Since he went to sneak attack the camp, then... It means that the soldiers and horses returning to Juye are not ambushed, they really want to go back."
Lu Qian's expression changed, "No, we fell into a trap."
After hearing what the two said, Cao Hong's intestines turned green with regret, and he howled in pain again, "Little Lu Bu, you and I are at odds with each other."
If I had heard the news from the spies yesterday and immediately pursued Lu Bu's troops, I would have easily eliminated them.
Ridiculous!
I actually thought that Lu Bu had an ambush, so I didn't dare to chase him. In the end, I watched helplessly as this group of Lu Bu's troops ran back to Juye, and I was still waiting here stupidly!
Why is this happening?
Starting from Changyi, he had been fooled by Lu Bu's children. He had been beaten to the point of losing his troops, losing his helmet and armor, and it was extremely miserable.
Now, I am actually watching a good opportunity slip away from me. How hateful!
Han Meng suddenly said, "No, since Lu Bu's army doesn't have many people, where did these two troops come from?"
Hearing these words, Cao Hong's heart moved and he frowned, "Could it be that Lu Bu's son has hidden troops and we don't know about it?"
After hearing what the two said, Lu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "General Cao, if my prediction is correct, the soldiers we and General Xiahou encountered are definitely not soldiers of Lu Bu's army."
Han Meng was stunned and asked doubtfully, "General Lu, if it's not Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, who are they?"
Lu Qian sighed, "Ordinary people!"
