Cao Mengde's brows furrowed even more as he listened to everyone talking.
There was another soldier of Lu Bu's army in front of him. He was now almost certain that Lu Bu'er was about to attack Cao Hong.
However, he was blocked by Shan Lian in front of him and could not rush over to rescue him.
what to do?
Although the night was getting cold at this moment, Cao Mengde was so anxious that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Cao Mengde turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu, trying to calm his chaotic mood, and asked slowly, "Mr. Zhongde, what suggestions do you have?"
Upon hearing the question, Cheng Yu sighed, "My lord, it's better to ask General Cao to come back, so as not to be besieged by Lu Bu's army in front."
Although Cheng Yu didn't say it explicitly, Cao Mengde had already heard from his words that he did not recommend that the army cross the mountains to rescue Cao Hong in front.
Thinking of this, Cao Mengde nodded, "In this case, send someone immediately to send a message and ask General Zilian to retreat as soon as possible."
Le Jin hurriedly said, "My lord, since we suspect there is an ambush in the mountains, we must not let General Cao go here. If he agrees to take a detour to join us, he cannot pass through it."
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard again in the distance. A spy galloped back and saw Cao Mengde hurriedly turned over and dismounted.
"My lord, General Cao noticed the appearance of the third Lu Bu army. He knew it was bad. He has retreated and is heading this way."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news from the spies, Cao Mengde was suddenly shocked and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
"What are you saying, General Zilian wants to withdraw his troops?"
The spy hurriedly handed over his hand, "General Cao was afraid of being ambushed by the enemy, so he wanted to rush over and join the main attack before making plans."
Cao Mengde asked with a trembling voice, "General Zilian retreated, which way did he take?"
The spy was stunned for a moment, then turned around and pointed at the mountains in the distance, "Is this the official road?"
"no!"
Cao Mengde roared angrily, "Go back quickly and tell General Zilian not to go into the mountains."
At this point, Cao Mengde paused and thought quickly in his mind. He continued without waiting for the spy to answer his words.
"Go back and tell General Zilian to make a detour to the east. I will lead my troops to respond. You must not go into the mountains in case you are ambushed by the enemy."
The spy hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "I obey your orders."
After he finished speaking, he also knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately jumped on his horse and returned along the original road.
Looking at the spy's retreating figure, Cao Mengde's heart was still hanging.
I hope Zilian receives the news and leaves as soon as possible. Don't go into the mountains. If there is an ambush, it will be terrible!
Just when Cao Mengde was worried, Li Dian suddenly frowned and said slowly.
"My lord, let the spies go back and deliver the news. Can General Zilian really receive it?
It would be terrible if we didn't receive any news from our lord. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde was startled and quickly turned to look at Li Dian, "General Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Dian pointed to the mountains in the distance and said with a wry smile, "My lord, if Lu Bu's son is ambushed here, and if he stops the spy and prevents him from going back to report the news, General Zilian will naturally have no way of knowing about my lord." mean."
At this point, Li Dian sighed softly, "General Cao didn't know that the master asked him to evacuate, and still passed through the mountains according to the original plan. Wouldn't it be that he fell into Lu Bu's trick?"
