"Lord, good news came from Xiapi City. Cao Hong has been killed by the lady. The tiger and leopard cavalry are cornered. Surrender is only a matter of time!"
Chen Gong specially sent someone to give Cao Hong's head to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu could defeat Cao's army with peace of mind.
"As expected of my daughter, God help me!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Hong were all destroyed, and he no longer had any worries.
Even Lu Bu was still thinking about what Cao Cao would think if he saw Cao Hong's body. He would probably vomit blood!
After all, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the elite of Cao Cao's carefully crafted cavalry, compared to Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
Thinking about all this hard work going to waste, I feel like I can’t sleep well.
"Thief Cao, let me give you another gift!"
Lu Bu used the Fang Tian Painting Halberd to fly Cao Hong's head away. The force was so strong that his head flew hundreds of meters away.
They fell heavily into Cao Bing's camp.
"This is General Cao Hong?!"
Cao Bing nearby could not see clearly, so he bravely took a closer look at his ferocious face, and his feet became weak with fear.
Because this head is none other than Cao Hong!
Soon, the news reached Cao Cao. When he learned the news of Cao Hong's death, Cao Cao instantly understood that the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry army had been wiped out, and he fainted.
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"
"Take the Prime Minister away quickly, don't be lazy!"
A group of counselors were also frightened by Cao Cao's coma, and they quickly evacuated the battlefield with Cao Cao, regardless of the troops defeated by Lu Bu.
After all, Cao Cao's life is comparable to thousands of troops. If the army is gone, he can still recruit more!
But if Cao Cao died on the battlefield, the court would really be in chaos!
Nowadays, no one can suppress the young people of the imperial court and the generals of Cao's army like Cao Cao!
Therefore, Cao Cao cannot die. Without Cao Cao and his advisers to stabilize the battle, Cao Cao's army would be defeated thousands of miles away.
Lu Bu led his army to pursue him for five miles, and then he called for gold and retreated his troops!
The distance of five miles was covered with the corpses and blood of Cao Jun, and Lu Bujun stepped on these corpses and returned in victory!
The reason why Lu Bu didn't want to chase was also very simple, that is, Lu Bu's army had exhausted too much physical energy in continuous battles, and was far unable to catch up with Cao's soldiers who had unleashed their full potential at the critical moment of life and death.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was still taking care of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the city, so Lu Bu gave up the idea of chasing Cao Cao. After all, it was enough to do this in a place like this.
Not only did they drive Cao Cao away, but they also severely damaged Cao's army. In a short period of time, Cao Cao would probably have no idea of tainting Xuzhou, giving Lu Bu enough breathing time to completely occupy Xuzhou and have abundant capital.
"Marquis Wen! Invincible in the world!"
Lu Bujun burst out with calls in Xiapi City, finally clearing away the haze of being besieged in Xiapi City some time ago.
Some even cried bitterly, almost thinking that they would never see the sun again, and the depression in their hearts was released at this moment.
Lu Bu also felt this and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers. Tomorrow there will be more wine to drink and more meat to eat!"
"There's just one thing, don't disturb the people!"
When Lu Bujun heard this, he cheered even louder, and they all praised Lu Bu. In this troubled world, having enough food and wine is already the greatest happiness.
Chen Gong also hurried over and heard what Lu Bu said, but he didn't feel anything wrong.
After finally defeating Cao Jun, everyone was almost exhausted. It was time to relax and face a new challenge.
"Your Majesty, all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have been dealt with. Five hundred and thirty-two people are willing to surrender. The rest will fight to the death!"
Chen Gong wrote lightly.
Although Chen Gong said it was easy, Lu Bu understood that the battle must be difficult. After all, the tiger and leopard cavalry were also elites of Cao's army. They were forced into a dead end and naturally resisted to the death.
If Cao Cao's army had not been defeated, I am afraid there would not have been so many Tiger and Leopard Cavalry willing to surrender. Cao Cao was defeated and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had become a lone army and could not escape.
In this case, there is only death or surrender, there is no third option.
"Thanks to Gongtai's intervention, Xiapi City is guaranteed to be safe."
Lu Bu was never stingy in praising his own people.
"I can only say that Humen General, if the young lady hadn't taken action, I'm afraid Xiapi City would have really fallen."
Chen Gong sighed.
"Ling'er's performance deserves a good reward as a father, but if you come to me on the public platform, there is obviously something wrong."
Lu Bu smiled.
"Nothing can be hidden from the Lord."
Chen Gong nodded.
The two of them met at the office and had a long chat.
For Chen Gong, driving away Cao Cao only alleviated one of the problems at hand. There were still many problems waiting for Lu Bu to solve, but he could not relax at this moment.
Xuzhou can now belong to Lu Bu's rule, and Xiapi City is the only one. The other cities either fell or were not under Zhang Liao's command.
The relationship between Zhang Liao and Lu Bu is very clever. When Lu Bu was beating Liu Bei, he asked Zhang Liao to take action, and Zhang Liao took action!
But when Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao, he asked Zhang Liao to come to his aid, but Zhang Liao was as stable as a mountain, wavering in his position and struggling in his heart.
This kind of existence, if not resolved, will be a huge hidden danger for the future situation in Xuzhou.
In Chen Gong's view, in these troubled times, there is only absolute obedience. The relationship between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao will gradually disappear as the princes become stronger.
After all, the princes are already very powerful, how can they tolerate an independent army.
"Junhou, the situation is still not optimistic."
Chen Gong said in a deep voice.
"How to say?"
Lu Bu, however, was not surprised by what Chen Gong said and smiled.
"Although Cao Cao retreated, Xuzhou has been beaten to pieces. It is a complete mess. It will not be easy to clean up the mess!"
Chen Gong stated straightforwardly.
"What do you think of the military advisor?"
Lu Bu humbly asked for advice. In fact, he knew what he was thinking. He just wanted to see what Chen Gong thought.
"Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, betrayed the king. These two people are indeed hateful, but they represent the heart of the family. Chen Deng and Chen Gui, the father and son, can still help govern Xuzhou under the command of the king."
"But once these two people betray and take away a large number of scholars, the monarch will probably fall into the dilemma of no one to govern."
Chen Gong said in a deep voice.
"These father and son are really troublemakers. Which one is more powerful, so bet on which one will win!"
Lu Bu was quite emotional, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, "But even if this father and son represent the Xuzhou family and dare to betray me, they will only die. Even if they escape to the ends of the world, I will not let them go!"
Chen Gong was also frightened by Lu Bu's murderous intent. He was stunned for a moment and said, "But Junhou, killing this father and son may make the situation in Xuzhou worse."
"So what, the aristocratic family is always so vacillating and wants to bet a few times, then I will cut off their other ideas!"
"Only killing can make them remember for a long time. After betraying me, the eighteen generations of our ancestors are enough to kill!"
Lu Bu said domineeringly.
Chen Gong's body trembled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Marquis Wen was still Marquis Wen, and his murderous nature was as strong as ever.
In the past, Chen Gong might have been very disgusted. After all, his attitude towards the children of the aristocratic family was not to kill them, but to win them over!
But after experiencing a battle with Cao Cao, Chen Gong felt that Lu Bu was a monarch he could follow. To deal with Cao Cao, he had to rely on Lu Bu.
After thinking about this, Chen Gong didn't have too many distracting thoughts in his mind. He just wanted to follow Lu Bu, calm down the chaos, and fight a bloody path.
