Early the next morning, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, led his army and set off towards Juyeye.
Along the way, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, was chatting, laughing and high-spirited, which made Cao Mengde next to him feel that something was wrong. However, he did not remind him and allowed him to be free.
Halfway through the journey, someone suddenly came to report, "Young Master, we caught two craftsmen."
The eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Who are they?"
The soldier glanced at Cao Mengde next to him, and then said, "The two of them said they were meng Degong's subordinates and came to meet them."
When Cao Mengde heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "What are their names?"
"According to themselves, their names are Cao Hong and Li Dian."
Hearing the names of these two people, Cao Mengde was immediately ecstatic, "Let them come here quickly."
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, glanced at Cao Mengde and said, "Meng Degong, are these two really your subordinates?"
Cao Mengde nodded, "Yes, they are Cao Hong and Li Dian who were defeated on the other side of the mountain."
Hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, "That's them!"
He hasn't taken the two defeated generals seriously yet!
Cao Mengde hurriedly asked someone to lead the two of them to his tent. When the two arrived, he saw their embarrassed appearance, and his eyes were filled with distress.
"You two have suffered."
Cao Hong and Li Dian fell to their knees with a plop and said with choked sobs, "We are so lucky to see our lord again."
Cao Mengde hurriedly helped the two men up, "General Zilian, General Li, what happened that day?"
The two briefly talked about what happened that day, and then looked at Cao Mengde worriedly, fearing that he would blame them.
However, Cao Mengde didn't bother to blame the two at this time, because he himself also returned in defeat, and the remaining 3,000 troops were wiped out, so how could he have the face to blame others.
Now that everyone is back safely, it is already a blessing, and there is no mood to blame.
Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Master, this revenge must be avenged."
Cao Mengde nodded, "General Zilian, don't worry. This time the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan is willing to send troops, Lu Bu's son will definitely be defeated."
Li Dian sighed, "My lord, Lu Bu is very cunning, so you should be careful."
At this point, Li Dian paused and said with a wry smile, "My lord, the number of soldiers and horses our army sent out at the beginning was no less than that of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, but we were still defeated miserably.
Therefore, although Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, had many soldiers and horses this time, he could not say that he would have a complete victory. "
Of course Cao Mengde knew this and nodded, "Don't worry, I have already reminded Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou. In addition, I have also sent people back to recruit troops. I believe it won't be long before our reinforcements arrive.
By the time our reinforcements arrive, even if Lu Bu's son has great abilities, he will probably be able to retreat in defeat. "
Li Dian suddenly said, "My lord, Lu Bu led his troops to attack us. The soldiers and horses in the city must be empty. If we ask Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, to attack quickly, maybe there is a chance to break the city?"
Hearing this, Cao Mengde's heart moved, and he immediately waved his hand, "A few days have passed. I'm afraid Lu Bu'er's troops have returned to the city, and it will be too late to attack again."
Li Dian shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case."
