Just when Cao Hong was confused, Cao Mengde also received news that made it difficult for him to make a decision.
"Lord, after we left, Lu Bu's army sent another troop to pursue us."
"What?"
When Cao Mengde heard the news, he was immediately surprised and asked hurriedly, "How many people are there in this army?"
The soldier held up his hands and said, "About 1,000 people."
Hearing the number of Lu Bu's troops, Cao Mengde's expression changed, "So many?"
Lu Qian frowned and said, "Lord, there are 500 soldiers of Lu Bu's army in front of us, and now Lu Bu has sent 1,000 soldiers to chase us. There must be something wrong with this."
Cao Mengde nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "There must be a problem. Could it be that he wants to use the troops in front and the troops behind to surround our army?"
Lu Qian shook his head, "That's impossible. The combined number of these two soldiers and horses is only 1,500. Even if they attack us, they probably won't be a match for our army."
Han Meng nodded, "Don't forget, there are General Cao's troops in front of us. If we rush back, Lu Bu's army will definitely be defeated."
After hearing what the two said, Cao Mengde nodded, "You are right, but if that's the case, why would Lu Bu do this?"
At this point, Cao Mengde paused, but then he continued without waiting for anyone to answer his words.
"No, there must be something wrong with this. Otherwise, Lu Bu would never do this."
Lu Qian nodded, "If Lu Bu's army just wants to lure our army away, with the 500 soldiers in front, their plan has already been successful. Why bother sending another group of troops?"
Le Jin suddenly said, "I still remember that the last time General Cao was ambushed, it was because the soldiers and horses from Changyi rushed over and he was not careful for a moment, so he returned in defeat.
Will it be the same this time? "
Lu Qian frowned and said, "This place is far away from Changyi. Can Changyi's soldiers and horses really come here?"
Han Meng suddenly said, "It seems that these two soldiers and horses are heading in the direction of Changyi again. Yes, it must be in this direction. Maybe, they really want to use the defenders of Changyi to set up an ambush again." .”
Le Jin waved his hand, "General Han, if Lu Bu'er really mobilizes troops from Changyi, he can only ambush our troops all the way, or General Cao in front, or us.
However, the distance between our two soldiers and horses is not far. If something happens, we will go to the rescue. Therefore, even if Lu Bu's son mobilizes soldiers and horses from Changyi, he may not be able to defeat us. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded, "General Le is right. If the soldiers and horses are really coming from the direction of Changyi, they can at most ambush us all the way, and the outcome is unpredictable. They may even be defeated in our hands."
Lu Qian frowned, "In that case, it shouldn't be Changyi's troops, but what is Lu Bu's plan?"
Han Meng suddenly raised his hands and said, "My lord, if you can't guess, why not stop guessing? If we don't go after Lu Bu's army, no matter how many tricks they have, I'm afraid they can't do anything to us, right?"
Le Jin waved his hand hurriedly, "General Han, you must not do it. If we leave now, the soldiers and horses behind will rush directly to the front. By then, won't General Cao's soldiers and horses be in danger?"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde frowned, and his heart suddenly rose.
