Cao Mengde sneered and said, "Immediately pass on the order and send out the entire army to fight against Lu Bu's army."
Following the order, Cao Jun dispatched and quickly rushed in the direction of Lu Bu's army.
Halfway through the journey, the spy galloped back and reported loudly, "Lord, Lu Bu's army has discovered traces of our army and is now changing direction and heading north."
"north?"
Upon hearing this direction, Cao Hong's expression changed, "My lord, last time they ran to the north, I'm afraid they want to repeat the same trick this time."
Cao Mengde nodded and sneered, "I didn't expect that Lu Bu'er would want to use the same strategy twice. It's really ridiculous."
Cao Hong hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "My lord, if the general is willing to lead his troops, he will definitely not fall into their scheme."
Hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded. He also wanted to give Cao Hong a chance to restore his reputation. "In this case, you should go immediately with 2,000 troops. Don't be fooled by them again this time. Be careful. You don't need to All you have to do is hold them back."
This is a plan that has been discussed. As long as the number of people sent by Lu Bu's army is not large, Cao's army will divide his troops into two groups and go to contain Lu Bu's army.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Cao Hong's mission is to contain these Lu Bu troops, not to destroy them.
Of course, this is only a tentative plan. If there is a very certain opportunity, Cao Hong will certainly take action to eliminate the soldiers of Lu Bu's army on this day.
After all, Lu Bu's army only has 1,000 men, while Cao Hong has 2,000 subordinates. As long as there is no danger, it is easy to eliminate the 1,000 men of Lu Bu's army.
Cao Hong led 2,000 soldiers to catch up, and Cao Mengde led the remaining soldiers and horses to continue towards Juye.
Along the way, Cao Mengde sent a large number of spies to inquire about Lu Bujun.
After all, there are not many soldiers and horses now. If Lu Bu's army really launches a large-scale attack, it will definitely not be able to stop them.
The army marched for more than ten miles and was not far from Juye. Just when Cao Mengde was worried, the spies finally came back to report.
"Lord, a group of soldiers and horses came out from Juye and are heading towards us."
After hearing the news from the spies, Cao Mengde perked up and asked hurriedly, "How many people are there?"
The spy hurriedly handed over, "About 500 people."
"500 people?"
Cao Mengde frowned and hurriedly called for everyone to discuss.
"Everyone, I didn't expect that Lu Bujun would only send 500 people this time. What should we do?"
The original plan was that Lu Bu should launch a massive attack this time, but why did he only send 500 men?
Le Jin stepped forward and held his hand, "My lord, although Lu Bu has sent few troops, we must be careful and not fall into his tricks."
Cao Mengde nodded, "General Le, in your opinion, what trick did Lu Bu'er play this time?"
Hearing the question, Le Jin frowned and then said slowly, "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Lu Bu knew about the arrival of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, so he did not dare to send most of his troops to fight.
But now that we are here, he can only accept the challenge, so he only sends 500 troops. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded, "It's possible, but what is the second possibility you mentioned?"
Le Jin cupped his hands and said slowly, "Lord, the second possibility mentioned by the general is that Lu Bu only sent 500 troops, but in fact there is another trick."
