Cao Mengde nodded when he heard what everyone said, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"But why did Lu Bu do this?"
Suddenly, Cao Hong, who had been silent until now, said, "My lord, is it possible that Lu Bu's son wants to attack Puyang?"
"Puyang?"
Cao Mengde was shocked when he heard these words, "Zilian, you said that Lu Bu's son gave up Juye to attack Puyang?"
Cao Hong smiled bitterly and nodded, "Master, I really can't guess why Lu Bu'er would let Juye go.
But I can be sure that Lu Bu'er must have his own motives for doing this. "
Lu Qian frowned and said, "If what General Zi Lian said is true, then it should be possible to guess that Lu Bu's son gave up to Ju Ye."
At this point, Lu Qian paused, "Lü Bu knew that he was no match for Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, so he withdrew on his own initiative.
He did this because he did not want to lose too many troops. On the other hand, he could also use the opportunity of retreat to attack Puyang.
As long as Lu Bu'er can capture Puyang, even if Juye is lost, the loss can be accepted. "
Li Dian nodded, "Yes, if this is really Lu Bu's plan, then there is a reasonable explanation for why he gave up Juye."
Le Jin suddenly said, "In addition to attacking Puyang, Lu Bu has another thing he can do, and that is to take the opportunity to attack the reinforcements sent by our army."
At this point, Le Jin's tone paused, but then, he continued without waiting for anyone to answer his words.
"Younger Lu Bu should be able to guess that although our army has been defeated, our army will never give up and will definitely send reinforcements.
And by using the reason of retreating, on the one hand, he could stabilize Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and on the other hand, he could secretly ambush on the way and then eliminate our reinforcements.
If Lu Bu really does this, our army will suffer heavy losses and will no longer be able to compete with him. Maybe this is his plan. "
When Cao Mengde heard what everyone said, his face couldn't help but change, and he secretly screamed something bad.
If what I just said is true, then things are really going to go bad.
The troops he mobilized from Puyang and Juancheng were, at least for a short period of time, the last troops.
If this army is wiped out by Lu Bu's children, it will be absolutely impossible to organize reinforcements all the way, at least in a short period of time.
By then, Puyang and Juancheng will have no troops and the cities will be empty. If Lu Bu's son takes the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that these two cities will be lost.
As long as these two cities are lost, half of his strength in Yanzhou will be lost.
At this time, there were Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and Lu Bu'er, the eldest son of Jizhou, in Yanzhou. When the time came, he could only withdraw from Yanzhou and watch the two of them fight here.
Thinking that with all his efforts, he had finally defeated the Million Yellow Turbans, and had worked so hard to obtain Yanzhou, only to become someone else's meal, Cao Mengde felt angry in his heart, and slammed the table, his face turning livid.
"Little Lu Bu, you are so hateful!"
Le Jin hurriedly said, "Lord, why don't you send someone back to spread the news, telling them not to send reinforcements, and to hold on to the city. Don't let Lu Bu's son take advantage of it."
Hearing these words, Cao Mengde became even more angry, and his teeth were already clenching.
