Although Cao Mengde said this, his heart was hanging because during this period he found that Xun Yue spoke less.
Since when?
After the failure to welcome the emperor, Xun Yu spoke less and did not give himself any advice for a long time. He even somewhat forgot about his existence.
And what happened this time, Cao Mengde saw Xun You's ugly face, which was so gloomy and scary.
Is it because of this reason that he really left?
Although Cao Mengde guessed that Xun might want to leave him, there was always a trace of luck in his heart.
No, Xun may not leave him, maybe he really just wants to go back to recuperate!
But the more he thought about it, the more his heart tightened.
Cao Mengde had many talents under his command. Although Xun Yue left, which made everyone feel a little unhappy, the atmosphere soon recovered.
"My lord, I'm afraid Lu Bu's son still doesn't know about the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan. We'd better make some moves to confuse Lu Bu's son and make the other side more confident."
Cao Mengde heard Lu Qian's words and nodded, "Yes, it should be so. If the villain Lu Bu is allowed to calm down, he will inevitably find out about the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan sending troops and miss the opportunity."
Cao Hong cupped his hands and said, "My lord, in this case, it is better for the general to lead a group of soldiers and horses to lead Lu Bu's son out of the city."
After hearing this, Lu Qian nodded and said with a smile, "It's best for General Cao to go, but you must be careful. Lu Bu is very cunning. If you fall into his trap, it will be bad."
Cao Hong's expression changed, and then he snorted coldly, "Young Lu Bu wants to lie to me. It's just a dream."
Since Lu Bu came to Yanzhou for the second time, Cao Hong had been deceived a lot and hated Lu Bu to the core.
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and soon, a group of soldiers hurried in.
"Lord, it's not good, Lu Bu's army is coming from the direction of Juye."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news, Cao Mengde was suddenly shocked, and his face became ugly.
After all, he is leading a group of remnants and defeated generals. As for their combat effectiveness, if Lu Bu comes, they must not fight, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated.
Lu Qian looked at the nervous Cao Mengde and hurriedly raised his hand, "My lord, there is no need to panic. Now that Lu Bu's son has come with his troops, isn't it just what we wanted?"
At this point, Lu Qian's tone paused, but then he continued without waiting for others to answer his words.
"Originally, we had to send General Cao to lure Lu Bu's son. Now that he has come on his own, General Cao doesn't have to go. As long as we hold back this group of Lu Bu's troops, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou on the other side, can successfully succeed. Isn't that right? It’s not the best of both worlds.”
After hearing this, Cao Mengde's eyes lit up and he felt ashamed in his heart.
During this time, I felt a little guilty after being beaten by Lu Bu. As soon as I heard that Lu Bu was coming, I felt even more guilty. It really shouldn't have happened.
"You are right, it is true. Since Lu Bu's son came here on his own initiative, we will hold him firmly. Even if he knows that the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has come to Yanzhou, he will not be able to go back to rescue him."
Lu Qian nodded, "Once Lu Bu knows that the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has arrived in Yanzhou, he will definitely be frightened and panic, and retreat in panic. At that time, as long as our army takes the opportunity to pursue, we may still have a chance to win. At that time, the grudges of this period can be avenged.”
After hearing this, Cao Mengde punched the table and gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, as long as Little Lu Bu dares to retreat, we will pursue the victory and we will definitely not let Little Lu Bu go this time."
Everyone in the tent listened to Cao Mengde's harsh words, and could even hear the sound of his teeth grinding, knowing that he was angry.
"My lord, we must eliminate Lu Bu's son this time."
"My lord, I must avenge myself this time. I must not let Lu Bu go."
Cao Hong frowned, turned to look at the soldier who was delivering the message, and asked tentatively, "How many soldiers and horses have come from Lu Bu's army? Who is the general leading the army? Is Lu Bu's son coming personally?"
The soldier who sent the message had been trying to speak, but was interrupted by everyone's words. At this moment, he heard the question and hurriedly handed over his hand, "According to the investigation by his subordinates, the number of Lu Bu's army is about 1,000, and the leader seems to be Shou Juye." That general named Chen."
"What?"
When he heard the news from the spies, Cao Mengde was stunned and couldn't help but stay on the spot.
Cao Hong roared angrily, "What are you talking about? Lu Bu's army only dispatched 1,000 soldiers and horses, and he hasn't come with his own troops yet?"
The spy hurriedly handed over his hand, "That's true. I didn't see Lu Bu in this team."
This time, Cao Hong was really angry!
"Little Lu Bu, you dare to send only 1,000 troops here. It's really hateful!"
When everyone heard this, they were also indignant.
This is no longer hateful, but looking down on people!
Although Cao's army is now defeated, it has gathered nearly ten thousand people. However, Lu Bu only sent 1,000 soldiers and horses to deal with these ten thousand people. This is clearly looking down on people!
Cao Hong roared angrily, "My lord, let the last general lead Bing to destroy him, and let Lu Bu know how powerful we are."
Cao Mengde snorted coldly, "Since Lu Bu's youngest son has sent 1,000 people, fine, we will kill these 1,000 people. Then we will see how many more troops Lu Bu's son will send."
"Cao Hong, I order you to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses. You must wipe out all this group of soldiers and horses."
Cao Hong roared angrily, "I will obey your orders."
After finishing speaking, Cao Hong strode out of the tent, went outside to reorganize his troops, and went to pursue the 1,000 men sent by Lu Bu.
…
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, stood under a tree, looking in the direction of Juye, with a sneer on his lips.
"Everyone, when I come to Yanzhou this time, is there any way to quickly get rid of Lu Bu'er?"
Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "My eldest son, Lu Bu has occupied the three cities of Juye and formed a defensive force. If you want to break it, you only need to capture one city to defeat it."
Although Guo Tu was a little selfish, he couldn't deny that he was indeed a talented counselor. He just changed his mind and immediately saw through Lu Bu's plan.
Hearing this, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, nodded, "Mr. Gongze, you are right. It is true. Lu Bu is proud of himself, but in front of me, he still has some shortcomings. He is just a little wither." It’s just skills.”
Guo Tu smiled and said, "My lord, Dingtao is too far away to attack. Changyi city is tall and not easy to attack, so the only target we attack now is Juye, which is closest to us. "
