Although Guo Tu had some doubts about Cao Mengde's combat effectiveness, he still trusted him on the surface, "In that case, thank you Meng Degong for your hard work."
Cao Mengde waved his hand, "Mr. Gongze, don't worry, we all drink."
Guo Tu picked up the wine glass and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
The banquet was originally a pleasant one, but after Cao Hong's incident, everyone had something on their minds. They could no longer laugh wildly. They just drank and said some meaningless words, hoping that the banquet would end soon.
Guo Tu was also very sensible. After drinking a few more drinks, he bowed his hand to Cao Mengde and said, "Meng Degong, I'm too drunk and want to go back to rest. Please forgive me."
When Cao Mengde heard that Guo Tu was going back to rest, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "Mr. Gongze has come all the way and it's been really hard. Let's go back and rest. We'll talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."
Guo Tu stood up, turned and left.
Cao Mengde looked at Guo Tu's retreating back, suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and let out a low roar.
"hateful."
What should we do now that our troops are only half in strength?
As the person closest to Cao Mengde, Xiahou Dun certainly knew how he was feeling at this moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand, "My lord, wait until early tomorrow morning. If the general is willing to lead troops to Juye, we must lure Lu Bu's son out of the city."
Cao Mengde turned to look at Xiahou Dun. After a long time, he suddenly sighed, "There are only 5,000 troops and horses now, and I can only give you 3,000 at most. Are you sure you can complete it?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am not sure, I am willing to give it a try!"
Cao Mengde did not doubt Xiahou Dun's loyalty, but he just sighed.
Originally he thought that 3,000 troops and horses were enough, but after Cao Hong's incident, he no longer had this confidence.
The last time Cao Hong escaped by chance, although he lost 5,000 troops and horses, Cao Hong was still there.
If Xiahou Dun is allowed to lead fewer troops to Juye, if something happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
It can be said that if Cao Mengde loses Xiahou Dun, it is equivalent to losing his right-hand man. For him, the 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought are definitely more important.
Lu Qian suddenly stepped forward and said, "My lord, I think it is best for General Xiahou not to go."
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun suddenly sneered, "Do you think this general can't complete the mission?"
Lu Qian saw that Xiahou Dun had misunderstood him and waved his hand hurriedly, "General Xiahou, you must not be rash. Last time General Cao led his troops, he thought he could steadily eliminate the enemy, but who would have thought that they would use Changyi's Soldiers and horses came to besiege us, and only then did General Cao return in defeat."
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Having said this, Lu Qian sighed and said, "General Xiahou, Lu Bu is so cunning. He can even think of this. It's really amazing.
This time Lu Bu Xiao'er destroyed General Cao's troops. With his cunning, he must have expected that he would send troops again. In other words, if General Xiahou led his troops, it would suit Lu Bu Xiao'er's wishes.
If Lu Bu's son had already set up an ambush for this matter, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for General Xiahou? "
When Xiahou Dun heard what Lu Qian said, he couldn't help being surprised. Thinking of the scene where Cao Hong's army was wiped out, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
Lu Qian was right. Since Lu Bu's son could predict Cao Hong's every move, there was no way he could not have predicted that there would be troops coming.
