Cao Mengde looked at Cheng Yu, sighed, and said slowly, "Zhongde, aren't you willing to help me?"
"this?"
Cheng Yu was stunned and handed over his hand again, but still didn't speak.
Cao Mengde waved his hand, "Zhongde, don't worry, we won't need much this time, just hold on until the food is delivered."
Seeing that Cheng Yu still didn't answer, Han Meng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhongde, why don't you speak?"
Cheng Yu shook his head with an ugly expression, "General Han, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it!"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde suddenly bowed his hands deeply to Cheng Yu, "Zhongde, just think of me as begging you, just help me this time!"
At this point, Cao Mengde paused, but then, without waiting for Cheng Yu to answer his words, he shook his head and said.
"If we just leave like this, and we want to drive away Lu Bu's son, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Zhongde, only by doing this can we have a chance!"
…
Early the next morning.
Everyone gathered in the clearing in the woods again, silently waiting for Cao Mengde's instructions.
Just when everyone was waiting a little anxiously, Cao Mengde came to everyone with a haggard face.
"Everyone, I have asked Zhongde and General Han to prepare food. I believe we can last for a few days. You don't have to worry anymore."
Having said this, Cao Mengde looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Now let's think about it, is there any way to defeat Lu Bu'er?"
When everyone heard these words, they couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Cao Mengde in disbelief.
Xiahou Dun asked tentatively, "My lord, is it really possible to raise food on the Zhongde line?"
Cao Mengde said confidently, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Everyone looked at the confidence on Cao Mengde's face and felt a little relieved, with smiles on their faces.
"As long as we have food, our army will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu'er."
Xiahou Dun suddenly said, "Lord, since our army already has food, it is better to attack Dingtao and win it in one fell swoop no matter what."
Lu Qian shook his head and said, "General Xiahou, you must not do this. Dingtao is a fortified city. It is not easy to break it."
Hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded, then looked at Xun You, who had been silent, and said slowly, "Wen Ruo, do you have a way to defeat the enemy?"
Xun You frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly, "General Lu was right just now. It is indeed detrimental to our army to attack Dingtao."
At this point, Xun Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "Changyi is as strong as Dingtao. It is definitely not easy for our army to attack."
Cao Hong's eyes lit up, "Mr. Wen Ruo, in this case, our army's only target is Juye."
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun also nodded, "Yes, Dingtao and Changyi are both difficult to attack. The best choice is to attack Juye."
Hearing what everyone said, Cao Mengde was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Xun You shaking his head, "Although Juye's city is slightly inferior, it must not be underestimated. What's more, Lu Bu also knows the situation in Juye. Therefore, heavy troops will be deployed to guard it, and it may not be easy for our army to capture it."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded in unison.
"Mr. Wen Ruo is right. Lu Bu is extremely cunning. He will definitely be on guard against Ju Ye. He may also have set up an ambush to lure our army into a trap."
Hearing these words, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong nodded in unison, "Yes, Lu Bu's son is too cunning, we must be on guard against him."
Lu Qian frowned, "Mr. Wen Ruo, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that our army can't attack Juye, so which city should we attack?"
Everyone was a little confused by Xun You's words, and they all turned their heads to look.
Xun You smiled and shook his head, "Everyone, Lu Bu robbed our food. If my prediction is correct, he should think that we will retreat and not attack anywhere."
Cao Hong's eyes lit up, "Yes, we have no food, so we have to retreat. I'm afraid Lu Bu'er thinks the same way.
If this is the case, if we attack any city, we can catch Lu Bu by surprise! "
Xiahou Dun thought about it carefully and nodded, "Yes, it is true. He will definitely think that we will retreat and not stay."
Lu Qian suddenly said, "Since Lu Bu's son is defenseless against us, it's better to attack Juye.
Juye City is relatively small. As long as we launch a sudden attack and add a strong attack, we may be able to capture Juye in a short time. "
Cao Hong nodded, "General Lu is right, Juye should indeed be attacked."
When Cao Mengde heard what everyone said, he nodded, turned to look at Xun Yu, and asked tentatively, "Wen Ruo, in your opinion, should we go to Juye?"
Xun You cupped his hands and said slowly.
"Everyone, if my prediction is correct, if we refuse to retreat, the only place Lu Bu thinks we will attack is Juye, because Dingtao and Changyi are almost impossible to attack.
Juye is the weakest link in these three cities, and he will definitely strengthen his defenses to prevent any losses. "
When Cao Hong heard the question and returned to the past, he couldn't help but was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Wen Ruo, in this case, do we want to go to Juye?"
Xun He nodded without hesitation, "The cities of Dingtou and Changyi are strong. Even if we go there, we probably won't be able to win. Therefore, we can only go to Juye."
Lu Qian frowned, "Mr. Wen Ruo, but you just said that it might not be that easy for our army to conquer Juye!"
Xun You shook his head, "With my current state, it is almost impossible to attack Xia Juye, or it will be impossible in a short time."
Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Mr. Wen Ruo, if that's the case, why do we still go to fight Juye?"
Xun You smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten Zhongde's strategy?"
Lu Qian's eyes lit up, "Is our real intention to attack their reinforcements?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong's expressions changed at the same time, "Mr. Wen Ruo, Lu Bu's son is extremely cunning. If he uses this trick again, I'm afraid he will be fooled by them again!"
Xun You shook his head, "If we pursue Lu Bu's reinforcements, of course we will easily be fooled by him. However, if Lu Bu's army comes to sneak attack the camp, as long as our army has a good ambush, I am afraid that as long as Lu Bu's army dares to sneak attack, Lu Bu's army will Defeat is inevitable.”
Cao Hong was stunned and asked doubtfully, "But Lu Bu is extremely cunning. I'm afraid he won't come to attack us. Wouldn't our ambush be useless?"
