Le Jin said slowly, "The second possibility is that there must be another intention behind this."
Cao Mengde asked hurriedly, "General Le, what is the villain Lu Bu's intention?"
Le Jin smiled bitterly and said, "If the general's guess is correct, Lu Bu'er wants our army to divide our troops."
"Split the troops?"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde reacted suddenly and immediately looked at Le Jin with wide eyes, "General Le, do you mean that?"
Le Jin nodded, "Yes, that's what the general means."
At this point, Le Jin paused, but then, without waiting for anyone to answer his words, he continued.
"Last time Lu Bu's army sent 1,000 men, we sent 2,000 men to pursue them.
This time Lu Bu's army sent another 500 men. If we want to be like last time, we need to send 1,000 soldiers to pursue them first.
As a result, our army has only 2,000 troops out of a total of 5,000.
If we continue to move forward and Lu Bu sends another 500 troops, how should we respond?
Should we dedicate another 1,000 people to pursue him?
If this is the case, then we only have 1,000 people left. If Lu Bu launches a large-scale attack, how can we stop it with 1,000 people? It is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated. "
After hearing this, Cao Mengde was already dripping with cold sweat and secretly screamed that he was in danger.
If Le Jin hadn't reminded him this time, he might have succeeded in Lu Bu's plan. He only used half of the soldiers, but Lu Bu lured away more than half of them.
In this way, not only was he unable to contain Lu Bu's troops, but he was actually restrained by him.
The most important thing is, if you really fall into this trap, as Le Jin said, you keep dividing your troops to pursue Lu Bu. In the end, there are not many troops around you. What should you do if Lu Bu launches an attack?
Lu Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Thanks to General Le for reminding me, otherwise it would be terrible if I really fell into Lu Bu's trap."
Xiahou Dun nodded, "Since the general has guessed Lu Bu's intentions, we must not be fooled by him."
Having said this, Xiahou Dun bowed his hands to Cao Mengde and said, "My lord, in this case, we'd better retreat, so as not to fall into the trap of Lu Bu's child."
When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "We must not let Lu Bu be fooled."
Le Jin heard the roar of the crowd and waved his hands hurriedly, "General Xiahou, have you forgotten what the general said just now?"
At this point, Le Jin paused, but then, without waiting for Xiahou Dun to answer his words, he continued.
"General Xiahou, there is another possibility, that is, Lu Bu knew that the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, was coming, so he could not allocate more troops.
If we just retreat like this, wouldn't it be like Lu Bu's son's wish, so that he can concentrate on dealing with Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou? "
When Xiahou Dun heard these words, he realized that he came here this time to pretend that Lu Bu's army was leaving the city and to create the best opportunity for Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, to attack.
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
If we retreat, what else will we use to lure Lu Bu's army?
Cao Mengde, who was sitting in the main seat, was also frowning at this moment, thinking constantly in his heart.
He did agree with the two possibilities mentioned by Le Jin. The question was, what exactly was Lu Bu's plan?
Are there no more troops?
Or is it a trick?
If it's the former, he should take the initiative to meet him and destroy Lu Bu's plan.
But if it's the latter, then you can only retreat as soon as possible.
