Xiahou Dun had already led his army and appeared at the designated location. Looking at Lu Bu who was running in a hurry, he sneered and said: "The slaves of the third surname, please stay!"
Xiahou Dun was still quite confident. After all, Lu Bu had gone through hundreds of battles and had been exhausted mentally, physically, and with vitality.
Facing Lu Bu, who was so unbearable, he couldn't win. Who are you kidding?
"You dare to block my way, the clown?"
Lu Bu roared, and his true energy surged out. The ghosts and gods reappeared behind him, and their momentum was like an overwhelming force, crushing Xiahou Dun to death.
"how come?!"
Fear surged into Xiahou Dun's mind, and it became extremely difficult for him to even move his fingers. He never expected that Lu Bu could be so strong in such a desperate situation.
A moment of carelessness caused Xiahou Dun to completely lose the opportunity. His expression seemed to make him tremble with fright at Lu Bu's look.
Even the general behaved so badly, how could the soldiers behind him dare to stop the rampaging Lu Bu.
Ever since, he watched Lu Bu and Bingzhou Langqi rendezvous, and then roared away.
After the elite soldiers, there are endless Qingzhou soldiers. These soldiers can bully the old, weak, sick and disabled, but it is really difficult for them to deal with Lu Bu and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
With a wave of Lu Bu's Fang Tianhua halberd, the front was swept away, and the ground was full of wreckage and blood.
The Qingzhou soldiers who had just blocked the front were all turned into fertilizer for the earth, and they were no longer dead.
"God willing!"
Seeing this, Guo Jia sighed helplessly.
In this desperate situation, Lu Bu also allowed him to escape. Guo Jia could not explain it except God's will.
Who would have thought that Xiahou Dun, who was so close to the divine general, would be frightened by a look.
This is simply unreasonable, and of course Xiahou Dun cannot be blamed.
Even Guo Jia didn't expect that Lu Bu could be so strong in a desperate situation. Guo Jia recognized it after he was one step ahead.
Lu Bu's charge this time caused huge losses to Cao's army, not to mention the heavy losses suffered by the Qingzhou soldiers. After all, they were all cannon fodder used to attack the city.
The main reason was that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were almost dispersed by Lu Bu, and two generals, Yu Jin and Dian Wei, were killed in battle.
This was the real loss of Cao Jun.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Lu Bu did not hurt Cao Cao. If Cao Cao was injured, then Guo Jia might have started to think about retreating at this moment.
After all, Cao Cao is now the backbone of the Cao family's army. If he is killed here, Cao Cao's army will be in chaos!
After watching Lu Bu and Bingzhou Langqi leave, Guo Jia ordered the generals to clean the battlefield, take care of the wounded, count the number of dead, and return to distribute pensions.
After all, Cao Cao has not yet awakened from his grief and cannot dominate the battlefield, so Cao Cao's most trusted advisor, Guo Jia, can only take charge.
Xun You's ability is actually not inferior to Guo Jia's, but Cao Cao trusts Guo Jia more because Guo Jia eats, drinks, whores and gambles, has common interests with Cao Cao, and is deeply admired.
Cao Cao, who had regained his composure, found Guo Jia, and his first words were, "Fengxiao, I'm tired of being alone, so retreat."
Guo Jia was startled at first. He did not expect that the extremely strong Cao Cao would say such words, so he asked: "Prime Minister, are you afraid of Lu Bu's attack?"
That is to say, Guo Jia dared to ask like this. If it were Xun You, he would also use tactful words to ask.
"You can say yes, you can say no."
"Although Lu Bu is like a ferocious beast and extremely powerful, it is not impossible to capture it. As long as the beast is pulled out and trapped, Lu Bu will perish sooner or later."
"But the price of being trapped to death is too high. Two generals were killed one after another, and countless soldiers and horses were injured. If Yuan Benchu's men come to attack, how can Gu resist it?"
Cao Cao said helplessly.
The loss in strength caused Cao Cao to want to retreat. Then Yuan Shao would soon unify Hebei and control the four states.
In this situation of internal and external troubles, Cao Cao naturally did not want to fight with Lu Bu.
Nowadays, the loss of troops and generals has made Cao Cao's willingness to retreat more and more obvious. What Cao Cao wants to do is to recuperate and prepare for the big war with Yuan Shao.
After all, Cao Cao was once a good friend of Yuan Shao, so he naturally understood Yuan Shao's great ambition. After Yuan Shao unified Hebei, he would definitely want to welcome the emperor and command the world.
Cao Cao became a thorn in Yuan Shao's side, and a war between the two was inevitable.
Either Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao and unifies the north, or Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao and unifies the north. There is no third possibility.
"I know the Prime Minister's worries, but Lu Bu is a capricious villain. When the time comes, Yuan Shao promises huge profits and asks him to send troops to attack the Prime Minister, how can the Prime Minister defend himself?"
Guo Jia asked.
"this!"
Cao Cao was stunned. Obviously, he had never considered this question before. Lu Bu sent troops to harass him from behind. Can he really fight Yuan Shao wholeheartedly?
The answer is definitely no. The previous tragedies are still fresh in our minds. By then Lu Bu and Chen Gong have occupied his base. Coupled with Yuan Shao's flanking attack, Cao Cao will really be in trouble every day.
Perhaps at that time, there was only one way before Cao Cao, and that was to surrender to Yuan Shao.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao shuddered.
After all, what kind of person Lu Bu is, and Cao Cao also knows that he is the most greedy for fame and wealth, and will fall to whichever side he gives benefits to. He is wavering and has no independent opinion.
Today Cao Cao promises huge profits to keep him from attacking him, but tomorrow he may break up with Yuan Shao because he offers more benefits.
"If we want to prevent the previous tragedy from happening, we must completely kill the evil tiger Lu Bu before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao and solve our worries."
Guo Jia advised.
"I can understand what Fengxiao said, and I deeply feel that Lu Bu is a serious problem."
"But Lu Bu is so skilled in martial arts that he has no one under his command to rule. What should we do?"
Cao Cao was still quite afraid of Lu Bu's martial arts.
Feeling that Lu Bu's martial arts was too lethal, Cao Cao did not want to lose his troops.
While destroying the evil tiger, he did not want to suffer heavy losses. This was the problem before Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, do you still remember the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang?"
Guo Jia said.
"Fengxiao means to let Liu Bei fight Lu Bu?"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up and he thought it was a good idea.
Liu Bei's temperament and charisma made Cao Cao feel that he was a powerful enemy, so he imprisoned Liu Bei and prevented Liu Bei from meeting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to divide the relationship between the three.
After all, although Cao Cao didn't like Liu Bei, he liked Zhang Fei and Guan Yu very much. Of course, Cao Cao had no resistance to all the fierce generals and liked them all.
If it weren't for Lu Bu's capricious nature, Cao Cao would have felt uncontrollable, and perhaps he would have grown fond of Lu Bu.
The battle between the three heroes and Lu Bu is a legend in the world. The combination of Liu, Guan and Zhang should not be too easy to deal with Lu Bu.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Wouldn't it be nice for Cao Cao to take advantage of the situation?
The only worry is that Liu Bei will take the opportunity to break free. When the time comes, the dragon will emerge from the deep pool and be difficult to restrain.
"This is exactly what Liu, Guan, and Zhang are cooperating with. Even Lu Bu can't break it!"
"With Lu Bu involved, there is no need to worry about Xia Pi City."
Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
"I'm a little worried about Liu Bei's rise!"
Cao Cao said.
"Time is also destiny. This is the best way to deal with Lu Bu. I hope the Prime Minister will make a decision soon!"
Guo Jia advised.
Cao Cao also heard what Guo Jia wanted to express. The top priority now is to deal with Lu Bu. If Liu Bei later gains power, it can only be said that fate tricks people. Don't look forward and backward. Nothing will be accomplished in that way.
"Just do what Fengxiao said."
Cao Cao nodded and immediately ordered Liu Guan and Zhang to be transferred over to deal with Lu Bu.
It is indeed a taboo to look forward and backward. After Cao Cao figured it out, he had a clear mind and no longer thought about withdrawing his troops.
