"Welcome to you, Your Majesty!"
After Chen Gong saw Lu Bu and Bingzhou Langqi fighting their way out of the siege, Chen Gong opened the city gate and took the initiative to welcome Lu Bu's arrival.
What Chen Gong did also dispelled Lu Bu's last worry.
It seems that Chen Gong is still firmly on his side, at least when facing Cao Cao, he did not waver.
After all, if Chen Gong can betray Cao Cao, he can betray himself. Lu Bu doesn't think that his personality charm can influence everything.
Maybe Liu Bei is the only one in this world!
Of course, if Chen Gong is unwilling to let him enter the city, Lu Bu still has a back-up plan, but now it seems that there is no need for a back-up plan.
"It's hard for Gongtai to be on tenterhooks on the city wall."
Lu Bu patted Chen Gong on the shoulder and smiled.
"This time my lord has severely damaged Cao's army. If nothing else happens, Cao's army will withdraw."
Chen Gong stood on the city wall, taking in all Lu Bu's glorious battle results, and was overjoyed.
I feel that Lu Bu should have completely defeated Cao Jun's courage now. With Cao Jun's internal and external troubles, there is a high probability that Cao Jun will retreat if he does not act stupidly.
"not that simple."
Lu Bu shook his head. He knew Cao Cao's determination. He must have wanted to uproot himself and avoid future troubles forever!
Even if Lu Bu told Cao Cao now that his soul had been replaced and it was impossible to stab him in the back, so he could rest assured about his character, Cao Cao would not believe it.
Therefore, all Lu Bu wanted to do was to dampen Cao Jun's morale, and he didn't think about other things.
"Do you think that Cao Jun will fight to the end?"
Chen Gong was puzzled and felt that judging from Cao Cao's internal and external troubles, the probability of stalking him should be extremely small.
Lu Bu didn't know how to explain it to Chen Gong, so he just waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, let's talk about it another day."
After instructing Wei Xu and Gao Shun on military affairs, Lu Bu put down his weapons and red rabbit horse and fell asleep.
The successive charges kept Lu Bu's spirit high. Now that sleepiness was coming like sea water, Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore.
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's back, thinking about the meaning of Lu Bu's words and the possibility of Cao's army not retreating.
When he woke up, Lu Bu felt refreshed and felt that his body seemed to have changed, so he picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Suddenly he found that Fang Tian's painted halberd seemed a little lighter. Lu Bu thought it was an illusion and waved it again, and found that his strength had indeed increased.
Moreover, the true energy in the body is also richer than before. Although the total amount has not changed, there are fewer impurities and it is far purer than before.
Lu Bu thought about it and felt that it should be the benefit of cutting off some of Cao Cao's purple energy.
According to Lu Bu's understanding, the purple energy that Cao Cao possesses should be luck, but these lucks are not static.
For example, Lu Bu's blow directly chopped off some of Cao Cao's purple energy and incorporated it into his body.
So, can Lu Bu understand that Cao Cao's purple energy has decreased, while his own purple energy has increased.
Lu Bu has only figured out one way to increase and decrease the purple energy, which is to attack the princes with purple energy. The other methods have to be explored slowly.
After all, purple energy is really a good thing for Lu Bu. After reaching Lu Bu's level of power, every improvement is extremely difficult.
But after absorbing some purple energy, it improved Lu Bu a lot. This made Lu Bu very greedy for purple energy, and he began to think of ways to get more purple energy to arm himself!
After a while, Wei Xu brought the casualties of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to Lu Bu. In this expedition, more than 300 brothers died and more than 200 brothers were injured.
Those seriously injured brothers will have trouble surviving, let alone fighting in the future.
The two thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry had dropped sharply by a quarter, which made Lu Bu still feel quite distressed.
You know, it takes several years to train a Bingzhou wolf rider, and you have to constantly go in and out of secret realms to bring him better armor and weapons.
The cost is difficult to estimate. After all, the dangers of secret realms are well known to everyone in the world. Some generals are even buried in secret realms. Obtaining magical weapons and armor is not as simple as imagined.
Those Bingzhou wolf cavalry who died on the battlefield would definitely be stripped of their armor and weapons by Cao's army and used to arm the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Just thinking about it made Lu Bu feel very unhappy, and he would definitely find his way back next time.
On the second day, Cao Jun still stood still and surrounded Xiapi City with no intention of leaving.
For several days, Cao Jun remained motionless, making Chen Gong fully understand that Cao Jun was really planning to fight to the end.
"Cao Amo, you really want to kill me!"
Chen Gong thought that Cao Cao still hated him for leading Lu Bu to seize the base, and was determined to kill him before he prepared to leave.
When Lu Bu heard this, he didn't comment too much. As for who Cao Cao hated more, only Cao Cao knew, so why didn't he question Cao Cao face to face?
"Your Majesty, since Cao Ah is unwilling to retreat, as long as the soldiers work together, they will definitely be able to defeat Cao's army."
Chen Gong said in a deep voice.
"The meaning of Gongtai is exactly what I mean. As long as everyone is united, there will be no obstacles in this world that cannot be overcome."
Lu Bu still patrolled every day to boost his own morale and let the soldiers know that Lu Bu was always with them.
Chen Gong still handles the affairs in the city and mediates conflicts in all aspects, so that the bomb in Xiapi City will explode later.
After all, Xiapi City is surrounded by people, and people's hearts are floating. There must be many people with evil thoughts.
What Chen Gong does is to maintain the original relationship so that everyone can see that if they stick to it, there will be hope.
Although Lu Bu now only has the city of Xiapi, as long as Cao Cao retreats, no matter how capable Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son without foreign aid are, they can't stop Lu Bu from taking back the city.
Of course, Lu Bu will definitely not be able to take over the entire Xuzhou. He can take back as much as he can, and he will have his own power by then.
If we win over Zhang Liao, we can have a showdown with Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, completely defeat Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, and take control of Xuzhou.
At that time, it will depend on whether to go north to slap Cao Cao on the butt, or to go south to compete with Yuan Shu for fertile land. There will be room for maneuver.
This is the strategy Chen Gong set for Lu Bu. The premise is that he can withstand Cao Jun's siege, otherwise everything is out of the question.
However, the situation in the city was much better than before. Even Lu Bu's brother-in-law Wei Xu had emotions before. He felt that Lu Bu was useless, and he was suspicious of the generals and suppressed himself.
If this situation develops, I'm afraid Lu Bu will make the same mistake again and be tied up in his sleep.
Now that Lu Bu has regained consciousness, he has shown to be reasonable and considerate, which has made many generals feel at ease. Even if they have other thoughts, they dare not reveal them.
After seeing Lu Bu, the soldiers patrolled more vigorously, always preventing Cao Jun from making sneak attacks.
The situation in Xiapi City was developing in a good direction, and Lu Bu was quite pleased with this.
It seems that the story of the fall of Baimen Tower is getting further and further away from me.
However, Lu Bu still had a strong sense of crisis. You must know that it is the end of 198, and the Battle of Guandu is about to begin. By then, Cao Cao will unify the north, and he will be just a small player at the mercy of others.
For this reason, Lu Bu must become stronger, at least before the Battle of Guandu comes, to make himself a force that can stir up the situation.
