In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao sat in the middle, looked around at the people around him, and said slowly.
"Today Lu Bu's son injured General Le. Do you have any good ideas to avenge General Le?"
Dian Wei stepped forward and held his hands, "My lord, wait until tomorrow to fight again. Please let the last general go to fight. You must avenge General Le."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Although Lu Bu has no plans, he is very brave and no one can match him. We should think of other ways."
Yu Jin suddenly said, "My lord, I went up the mountain today to observe the enemy, and found that Lu Bu had a camp to the west of Puyang. It was not very large, so I guessed that there were not many people in the camp.
Lu Bu returned home victorious today. He must have been so proud that our army did not dare to fight again. If our army went to sneak attack tonight, we would be able to successfully capture Xizhai. By then, Lu Bu's soldiers would be panic-stricken, but our army could slowly take advantage of it. "
Upon hearing Yu Jin's suggestion, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light and he nodded.
"General Yu is right. Lu Bu will definitely not set up defenses. Tonight is a good opportunity for us to take action."
…
Lu Bu led the victorious army back to the camp and immediately rewarded the entire army. The camp was full of joy to celebrate today's victory.
Lu Bu called everyone to discuss, "Although our army won, it was only a small victory and did not defeat Cao Mengde's main force. Do you have any suggestions for defeating the enemy?"
Cheng Lian laughed loudly, "Marquis Wen, Cao Mengde is no match for our army. When tomorrow morning, our army attacks with all its strength, we will definitely defeat them completely."
Chen Gong frowned and said slowly, "Although we won today, Cao Mengde is so cunning that we have to guard against him."
Having said this, Chen Gong turned to Lu Bu and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, in order to take care of each other, our army has set up a camp to the west of Puyang.
It goes without saying here that Cao Mengde would never dare to sneak attack, but there are not many troops in Xizhai, so we have to guard against it. "
Lu Bu frowned after hearing Chen Gong's suggestion.
Lonely Xianyu once told this story, and Chen Gong's analysis was correct. Cao Cao did come to attack Xizhai at night.
But after listening to Chen Gong's words, he took the opportunity to ambush and defeated Cao Mengde again.
In this case, just follow Chen Gong's words and you can successfully defeat Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu nodded and said slowly, "Gao Shun, Wei Xu, and Song Xian obey the order and order the three of them to lead troops and horses to Xizhai. There must be no mistakes."
"I will obey my orders."
The three of them accepted the order in unison, turned and left.
Lu Bu turned to look at everyone and said loudly, "The rest of the people went back to camp to prepare. If Cao Mengde really dares to sneak attack, we will let him have no chance of coming back tonight."
Gao Shun returned to the camp, ordered his troops and horses, and immediately headed towards the West Village.
Halfway through the journey, they encountered a broken army and reported that Xizhai had been lost and was captured by Cao Cao.
Gao Shun did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led his troops to rescue.
When they arrived at Xizhai, they heard loud shouts of killing in the camp. They hurriedly led their troops to kill the generals and went in to recapture Xizhai.
The two armies fought in a melee until late at night, and it was still difficult to determine the winner.
Lu Bu, who stayed in the camp, has been waiting for news from Xizhai. According to what the lonely Xianyu said, Cao Mengde will definitely attack tonight. As long as someone comes to report and leads his troops, he can easily win.
Lu Bu still remembered clearly that in this battle at night, if he was lucky, he might be able to get rid of Cao Mengde. Therefore, during the day, Lu Bu had already identified Cao Mengde's appearance and would never let him escape.
Just when Lu Bu was getting a little impatient, the soldiers who came back from the Western Camp hurried over to report, "It's bad, Cao Cao attacked the Western Camp secretly, and General Gao is fighting with them."
After hearing the news, Lu Bu perked up and shouted, "Send the order, Hou Cheng will lead the troops to defend the camp, and the rest of the generals will follow me to rescue."
Everyone was already ready. After hearing the order, in just a moment of burning incense, the army had already left the camp and headed towards the west camp.
Lu Bu took the lead and ran at the front, fearing that Cao Cao would be lost.
Before we got close to Xizhai, we heard loud shouts of killing in front of us. The screams couldn't stop, and someone was really fighting.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and roared angrily, "When the whole army attacks, we must not let Cao Mengde escape."
When Cao Jun saw someone coming to rescue him, he immediately knew something was wrong. He didn't even bother to seize the camp again and was defeated.
Lu Bu and others pursued him in a hurry, but the enemy ran too fast and could not catch up for a while.
Just when Lu Bu was chasing Cao Jun, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp in a forest due east of the camp. The leader was Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao's general.
After Lu Bu left the camp, Hou Cheng knew that Cao Cao had gone to Xizhai. He felt reassured. He gave some instructions to his soldiers, went back to his tent, drank a few glasses of wine, and fell asleep deeply.
When Hou Cheng's soldiers saw the general's relaxed look, they naturally relaxed their vigilance and did not notice the enemy approaching.
It was not until the enemy arrived not far away that someone saw the enemy and suddenly screamed.
"No, someone attacked us."
But it was already too late. Xiahou Dun took the lead and rushed directly into the camp. Cao Ren, Yu Jin and others followed closely and started a crazy killing spree in the camp.
Hou Cheng was in a daze when he heard shouts of death coming from all around. He thought he was dreaming, so he turned over and fell asleep again.
It wasn't until the soldiers ran in and pushed him awake that he realized what he was doing, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran out of the tent to prepare to meet the enemy.
But at this time, there were flames in the camp, the shouts of killing were loud, and the shadows of Cao's army were everywhere. The number of soldiers of Lu Bu's army was originally small, and they were caught off guard. They were so panicked that they collapsed and had no intention of fighting.
Seeing this scene, Hou Cheng's cold sweat instantly flowed from his forehead, and he secretly cried out.
He was originally a veteran on the battlefield. When he saw this scene, he vaguely understood in his heart. I'm afraid everyone fell into Cao Mengde's plan and thought he wanted to attack Xiying, but in fact, the real purpose was here.
Hou Cheng jumped on his horse, raised his spear, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't be afraid, drive them out with me."
In the light of the fire, a group of Cao soldiers rushed out, shouting and rushing towards Hou Cheng.
Although Hou Cheng is a good drinker, he is also known for his bravery in Bingzhou for many years, so he can become one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals.
Seeing Cao Jun's soldiers rushing over, he was not afraid at all, and immediately jumped on his horse and rushed forward with his gun drawn.
"kill!"
In just a moment, more than a dozen soldiers of Cao's army were killed, and they were defeated and fled in all directions.
Although Hou Cheng wanted to take back the camp, the soldiers were already frightened and dared not fight again.
Hou Chengzong rode in the camp for a long time, only to restrain more than 100 people. Seeing more and more enemies, he knew it was not good, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to escape from the camp and head towards the west village.
