Cao Mengde groaned in his heart. If what Le Jin said was true, even if he went there this time, it would not have much effect.
If Lu Bu really only sent 1,000 men, would he lead him away or continue to fight him?
If we only lure away 1,000 Lu Bu troops, it will probably be useless.
However, if he stayed to fight, Lu Bu'er was extremely cunning, and it would be terrible if he fell into his trap again.
Everyone had the same thoughts as Cao Mengde, they were also worried about this matter, their brows were furrowed tightly, and they couldn't make up their minds for a moment.
Cao Mengde pondered for a long time. Seeing that everyone was silent, he turned to look at Le Jin and asked tentatively, "General Le, do you have a way to deal with this?"
Le Jin cupped his hands and said slowly, "My lord, the general believes that our army can be divided into two armies, the front and rear. The distance between the two armies is no more than five miles. If something happens, they can respond to each other and the whole army will not be wiped out. It's okay." Wait for the opportunity to destroy the enemy."
Hearing this, Cao Mengde frowned and then nodded, "That's good. Let's divide the troops into two groups and go to Juye five miles apart."
Following Cao Mengde's order, the remaining 5,000 troops were divided into two groups. The front group was led by Xiahou Dun, with a total of 2,000 people.
Cao Mengde personally led the remaining 3,000.
The two groups of soldiers and horses were assembled and headed towards the direction of Juye City.
…
Juye.
"Ha ha."
When Lu Bu heard the news, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's great. This time General Chen destroyed Cao Mengde's 5,000 troops. I wonder what Cao Mengde thinks?"
Cheng Lian laughed and said, "What else can you think? If I guessed correctly, he must be furious now, and maybe he will chop off Cao Hong's head. That would be great."
After hearing this, Chen Gong waved his hand, "General Cheng Lian, I'm afraid you only guessed one of the right things. Cao Mengde will indeed be furious, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he will chop off Cao Hong's head for this matter."
Having said this, Chen Gong paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for anyone to answer his words, he continued.
"Cao Hong is a general under Cao Mengde. He will not be beheaded no matter what. It is still possible to reprimand him."
Zhang Liao stepped forward and handed over his hand, "Marquis Wen, Cao Mengde will definitely not give up after his defeat this time. Our army should take precautions early."
Lu Bu nodded, "Now the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has stopped his troops and is preparing to stand still. It seems that he is waiting for Cao Mengde to lead our army away."
Cheng Lian laughed loudly, "It's really a dream to lure our army away. As long as we don't go out, they won't be able to lure us out."
Chen Gong shook his head, "But if we don't go out, wouldn't it be even more detrimental to us if Cao Mengde and the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan meet up."
Lu Bu nodded and turned to look at Xu Shu, who had been silent. "Mr. Yuanzhi, what do you think of this matter?"
When Xu Shu heard the question, he frowned and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, what everyone said just now is right. Cao Mengde will definitely not give up and will come here again to lure our army out."
At this point, Xu Shu paused, but then, without waiting for anyone to answer his words, he continued.
"If our army stays in the city, although it will not be led out by Cao's army, Cao Mengde will be reunited with Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou."
