Cao Mengde was feeling sad when suddenly there were rapid footsteps in the big tent, and soon a soldier hurried in.
"My lord, the eldest son of Jizhou sent someone to ask for an audience."
Cao Mengde's eyes lit up and he waved hurriedly, "Please come in quickly."
The soldier responded hurriedly, turned around and left. Not long after, a handsome man walked in from the door.
"Meng Degong, long time no see."
Cao Mengde saw the person coming and hurriedly stood up to greet him, "It turns out to be Mr. Gongze. It's a pleasure to meet him."
It turned out that the person who sent the letter was Guo Tu, an effective counselor under Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou.
Cao Mengde hurriedly asked Guo Tu to sit down. After he was seated, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Gongze, I wonder how the eldest son is doing there?"
Guo Tu raised his hand and said, "Meng Degong, the eldest son has sent troops to Yanzhou and will attack Juye soon."
Cao Mengde asked tentatively, "Mr. Ignorant of Gongze is here this time, but do you have something important to say?"
Guo Tu nodded, "Meng Degong, the eldest son originally wanted to attack Juye immediately, but considering that Lu Bu has city protection, I would like to ask Meng Degong to contain Lu Bu's army here and reduce the number of troops in the city so that our army can attack smoothly. "
Cao Mengde nodded, "Mr. Gongze, it turns out that this is what happened. It's very simple. Just go back and tell the eldest son, just say that I know about this and we must lead Lu Bu out of the city."
Guo Tu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Now that Meng Degong knows, I can feel relieved."
Cao Mengde snorted coldly, "Lü Bu's son is so hateful. This time, he must be completely eliminated to relieve the hatred in his heart."
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door again, and a soldier ran in sweating profusely.
"My lord, General Cao met Lu Bu's army and was about to fight. However, Lu Bu's army turned around and ran away. Now General Cao is chasing the enemy. He was afraid that my lord would be worried, so he sent his subordinates to deliver the message."
Hearing this, Cao Mengde frowned and said, "Run away."
At this point, Cao Mengde snorted coldly, "Go tell General Zilian that you must catch up with Lu Bu's army no matter what. You must not let them escape."
"I obey my orders."
After the soldiers left, Guo Tu tentatively asked, "Meng Degong, what's going on?"
Cao Mengde waved his hand and said with a sneer, "Mr. Gongze, don't worry. Little Lu Bu only sent 1,000 troops to deal with our army. It's just a dream. This time, we must destroy these 1,000 troops." .”
Hearing this number, Guo Tu frowned and said, "Meng Degong, how many troops and horses does General Cao bring?"
Cao Mengde nodded, "Mr. Gongze, you don't have to worry, Zi Lian brought a total of 5,000 troops this time, and he will definitely be able to destroy this Lu Bu army.
Once this daring Lu Bu army is eliminated, I will send troops to lure Lu Bu in the city. "
Guo Tu nodded, "That's fine. I can't believe that Lu Bu's son is so bold. He only sent 1,000 troops. It's really ridiculous."
Cao Mengde waved his hand, "Mr. Gongze, these are all trivial matters, don't worry about it."
"Come here, prepare wine immediately. I want to entertain Mr. Gongze."
Guo Tu came here this time just to see how many Lu Bu troops Cao Mengde had led so that he could go back and report. After hearing these words, he did not refuse and held his hand in front of him, "Thank you very much, Mr. Meng De, but I'm sorry."
Cao Mengde was overjoyed. While preparing wine, he also asked the generals to come and accompany him.
Soon, the soldiers held a banquet in the big tent, and the generals dared to come to accompany them.
Guo Tu sat next to Cao Mengde and looked around, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Meng Degong, why haven't you seen Mr. Wen Ruo?"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde waved his hands in embarrassment, "Mr. Wen Ruo is feeling a little unwell and is recuperating. It is not convenient for him to drink."
Hearing this, Guo Tu nodded, "Although Mr. Wen Ruo is extremely talented, he is only a mortal after all. It is best to let him rest."
Xia Houyuan hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Mr. Gongze, I would like to propose a toast to you."
…
While everyone was pushing cups and changing cups, Cao Hong was leading 5,000 troops to pursue Lu Bu's army in front at a high speed.
"Hateful Lu Bujun, if I don't wipe you out this time, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Cao Hong's eyes were red, his teeth were clenching, and he kept roaring like a wild beast.
"Lu Bujun, stop here. I won't leave anyone behind until I catch up with you."
Everyone chased him all the way, and Lu Bujun in front was running very fast, and for a while he couldn't catch up.
They chased until it got dark, and the spies running back from the front finally brought back good news.
"General Cao, we are now only about 15 miles away from Lu Bu's army in front."
"Ha ha!"
Cao Hong looked up to the sky and laughed, "You must be tired at last. Your death will come soon."
"Send the order, speed up again, and be sure to catch up with Lu Bu's army in front."
The army set off again. While Cao Hong was running, Lieutenant General Li Dian came rushing back from the front.
"General Cao, we have entered the territory of Changyi."
Hearing this, Cao Hong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would pursue him all the way to Changyi.
Recalling the scene of losing Changyi, Cao Hong only felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart, and he looked up to the sky and roared.
"The army continues to speed up. This general will destroy Lu Bu's army in Changyi and avenge the situation."
At that time, he was guarding Changyi, and he was absolutely foolproof, but who would have thought that Lu Bu would deceive him with a trick. It was really hateful, and this revenge was avenged together in Changyi.
Li Dian looked at Cao Hong's red eyes and hurriedly handed over his hands, "General, I will obey."
After saying this, Li Dian led the soldiers to speed up and chase the soldiers and horses in front.
"Report!"
"General Cao, there are only ten miles left from Lu Bu's army in front."
When Cao Hong heard the news, his hands were shaking with excitement.
"Speed up and catch up with Lu Bujun."
With only ten miles to go, it was almost impossible for Lu Bujun to go out of tune.
Although there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses in front, Cao Hong will feel extremely happy even if he kills one Lu Bu army soldier.
Hatred burned like a raging fire in his heart, making him unable to breathe, but his heart became so hot that he wished he could immediately catch up with Lu Bu's army in front and cut them into pieces.
Upon hearing the order, 5,000 soldiers of Cao's army knew that the enemy was ten miles away. They immediately roused their strength and took great strides to pursue him.
Using 5,000 soldiers and horses to deal with 1,000 people is like taking credit for nothing. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?
Everyone moved forward and ran wildly!
"General Cao, there are only 5 miles left from Lu Bu's army in front."
"Ha ha!"
Cao Hong looked up to the sky and laughed, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Where can Lu Bu's army escape?"
