"You don't need to blame yourself, if Lu Bu really doesn't have this ability, he doesn't deserve to be called the number one military general in the world, it's good that you can come back alive." Cao Cao sighed: "A few injuries, hell in a few days." ”

Xu Huang felt even more guilty in his heart after hearing this, but when he heard the words, he saw that Cao Cao had something else to think about, so he retreated.

Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly in his heart, sending Xu Huang to fight this time can be described as killing three birds with one stone. First, he showed Xu Huang's ability in front of the whole army, laying the foundation for Cao Cao's reuse in the future. After all, Xu Huang is a new general, his current situation is worrying, there is no time for Xu Huang to be slowly promoted, if you want to reuse it, you must block the mouth of the generals, and after this battle, you will definitely be promoted by no one who is not convinced.

Second, Xu Huang is arrogant. Cao Cao felt it earlier, and this time he used Lu Bu to hit his arrogance hard, so that he could understand the greatness of the world. Third, and Cao Cao's main purpose, is to make Xu Huang return to his heart. In this battle, for Xu Huang, all the generals under Cao Cao were damaged, and Xu Huang couldn't remember this favor. Judging from its performance, Cao Cao's goal has been achieved.

However, at this time, Cao Cao was not happy with Xu Huang's return, but was worried.

"The lord is worried about Lu Bu?" Xi Zhicai saw that Cao Cao's face was wrong, and he noticed it in his heart.

"Although this person is disloyal and unrighteous and ambitious, his martial arts are really unpredictable and difficult to deal with. He must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Yuan Shu! Cao Cao said with a solemn face.

The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth were bitter when he heard this, and he looked to the north: "Yuan Shu is now surrounded by outsiders, how easy it is to take down Lu Bu!" ”

"Lord, this is not the time to think about this matter, let's think about how to take Huang County! Such a stalemate is not the way to go! Xun Yu frowned.

"With Lu Bu and Chen Gong here, it is a problem to take Huang County! What are your thoughts? Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Flooded Huang County." Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other and said in unison.

"Wouldn't that allow Yuan Shu's army to enter?" Cao Cao frowned. There is only one way to lead the water of Beihai to flood Huang County, but Yuan Shu's water army is there, and once Cao Cao makes a move, Yuan Shu's water army can directly drive straight in.

"Does the lord think that if the water of the North Sea is not led, Yuan Shu will not be able to come in?" Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "You need to know that not only Gan Xingba, but also Zhang Wenyuan, Zhao Zilong and Zhou Gongjin are all watching in Yingzhou, what can we do if tens of thousands of iron horsemen are coming?" ”

Cao Cao's mood instantly fell when he heard this. Now Yuan Shu is a knife warrior, and he is a fish and meat. If it weren't for Yuan Shao, I'm afraid the other party would have invaded Qingzhou a long time ago.

"My lord, this is not to let Lu Bu defect to Yuan Shu. If we want to capture or kill Lu Bu alive, we have another way. Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed.

"What's the solution?" Cao Cao asked with a happy face.

"Don't forget, my lord, we still have two shadows by Lu Bu's side?" The existence of Wei Xu and the Wang family has never been forgotten, and not only that, but he has also been infiltrating other generals under Lu Bu.

"With Lu Bu's character, he will definitely not surrender to Yuan Shu until he is desperate. Similarly, Yuan Shu will not help this tiger, as long as we act quickly enough, with these two shadows, we can completely take down Lu Bu before Yuan Shu, and then the lord can use it or kill it. Xi Zhicai said.

"Good! There is no way to go on like this, according to what Zhicai said, flood Huang County! Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore at this time.

......

A day later, looking at the rolling water in the city, Lu Bu's eyes were full of resentment, and he slashed with a halberd in his right hand, splitting the river below, but it was soon flooded by the surrounding river.

"Cao Mengde, sure enough, a villain, he doesn't dare to confront a certain head-on, just use these conspiracies!" Lu Bu said hatefully.

Chen Gong looked at the flooded houses in the city, as well as the soldiers who showed panicked expressions on the city wall, and sighed lightly in his heart: "After all, we have come to this point. ”

"Lord, the general trend has gone, let's descend!" Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"Down? I have tens of thousands of troops in my hands, and I have the danger of Huang County, why should I surrender? Lu Bu said angrily: "The grain and grass in Huang County are enough to support half a year, why do you want to drop?" I don't believe that Cao Mengde can besiege me for so long, once the situation changes, I can kill back to Qingzhou and regain my strength! ”

There are a lot of materials in Huang County, which is also one of Lu Bu's dependences. Because this place is very close to the sea, it was originally a trading place for Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in the past, so a large amount of materials were stored. What Lu Bu said can be used to support the first half of the year is not a lie, but it is true.

"Lord!" Seeing Lu Bu's unwilling look, Chen Gong sighed lightly: "Now that we are besieged by Cao Mengde's group, and the city is flooded, the morale of the soldiers is completely lost, and we can't last long." ”

Fighting a war is not all about materials and troops, even if Lu Bu knows that Cao Cao can't help himself, but the soldiers under his command are not. Besieged in a county town like an isolated island, the morale of the soldiers under his command was seven or eight, if it weren't for Lu Bu, the world's number one general, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

Lu Bu completely ignored what Chen Gong said, and snorted coldly: "I have the Red Rabbit Horse and Fang Tian's Painting Halberd, and there are thousands of Iron Horsemen in Merge Prefecture, what can Cao Mengde do to me?" ”

Chen Gong wanted to persuade him again, but Lu Bu turned around and left directly. He understood Chen Gong's meaning and concerns, but he was not willing to surrender to Yuan Shu. He is the number one military general in the world, how can he be willing to succumb to others as a prince, he will never be willing to meet a desperate situation. At this time, although he is facing a difficult situation, it is not a desperate situation, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not take that path.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's back and sighed lightly. Let's hope so!

Thinking of the piece of information that Yuan Shu sent some time ago, Chen Gong's eyes flashed. Wei Xu, I hope you don't do anything to be sorry for the lord!

He knew some of the things Wei Xu had done before, but as Lu Bu's brother-in-law, although Wei Xu was greedy for money, Chen Gong never thought about betrayal. Wei Xu's own ability is insufficient, but he can only occupy a place under Lu Bu by relying on his identity as Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and he is even listed as one of the six strong generals.

It is said that Lu Bu treats Wei Xu so kindly, this person should be content and grateful. At his level, even if he betrayed Lu Bu and defected to Cao Cao, it would be impossible to be reused. No one can trust a traitor, let alone an extremely average person. Just think about the final outcome of the generals who betrayed Lu Bu in history, how can there be a good end? Three people, two died, and one disappeared. Those who have a little bit of brains understand the end of betraying the master, but Wei Xu is extremely short-sighted and incompetent, and he can't see himself clearly, maybe he can really do such a stupid thing.

Chen Gong didn't think that Wei Xu would betray before, but now under Yuan Shu's reminder, he was extremely frightened.
