Chapter 155: Cao Cao will meet Lu Bu
The Admiral understood. "Cao Xing hugged his fists, the war is ruthless, as the losing side, it will be miserable treatment, the Xuzhou army cannot put more energy into the wounded soldiers, the best way is to directly solve these people.
Guo Jia stopped, "Wen Hou, there is a way to deal with these captives. β
"Feng Xiao has something to say." Lu Budao.
This time the Cao army was ambushed, even without Guo Jia's reminder, the wolf-tooth soldiers lurking in the shadows also sent the news, but according to the situation on the battlefield, they made timely deployments, and Lu Bu's ability compared with Guo Jia has a big gap.
&nbs; Cao Jun's immediate defeat was due to Guo Jia's plan.
"These wounded soldiers are all Cao Cao's soldiers, why don't Wen Hou return the wounded soldiers to Cao Cao, this move not only shows Wen Hou's kindness, but also makes it difficult for Cao Cao, if Cao Cao orders the execution of these wounded soldiers, it will definitely make the soldiers in the army cold, if they are not disposed of, it will bring trouble to Cao Cao's army." Guo Jiadao.
Cao Xing said: "The words of engagement are very true. β
Lu Bu nodded and said, "In the words of Fengxiao, Benhou will personally go to send the prisoners later, and with Fengxiao on the side, why not defeat Cao Junye." β
"This is a lowly thing." Guo Jia arched his hand.
"Our army won this battle, and the meritorious service of filial piety is indispensable, and after the war is over, this marquis will reward his meritorious deeds." Lu Bu said that Guo Jia wants to perform in the army, which is exactly what Lu Bu wants to see.
"Thank you, Wenhou."
Cao Cao did not leave because of this defeat, Cao's army lost nearly 2,000 people, although it had a great impact on morale, Cao Cao could not easily withdraw his troops, in this case, Xiahoudun and Xu Chu, who were guarding Gaoping, would be in danger.
Gaoping is not a strong city, and it is difficult to stop the long-term attack of the Xuzhou army.
LΓΌ Bu led the cavalry and escorted the prisoners, which soon reached Cao Cao's ears.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Lu Bu is acting so cunningly, there must be someone secretly helping, probing the situation in the Xuzhou army, this official will see who is the master who is helping Lu Bu." β
"The lord must not order the execution of wounded soldiers, for this will chill the hearts of the officers and men in the army." Cheng Yu reminded in a low voice.
Cao Cao nodded with a heavy expression, after the wounded soldiers entered the army, if they could not be properly settled, the soldiers in the army would have other ideas, under normal circumstances, the injured soldiers of the defeated side would be solved by the enemy.
"This official will meet Lu Bu for a while." Cao Cao said.
Far from being effective, the plan made Cao Cao feel depressed because he lost many soldiers, but Cao Cao was an open-minded man and would not be discouraged by the defeat of a battle.
"The lord should be cautious, then Lu Bu is a military general who has been famous for a long time, if he takes the opportunity to make a move, the lord will face a lot of danger." Cheng Yu said worriedly.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "There are also many fierce generals under the command of this official, can't they stop Lu Bu?" β
"If you meet Lu Bu, I will definitely kill him." Dian Wei gritted his teeth and said, as Cao Cao's personal guard, when he was fighting, he could only protect Cao Cao's side, and Lu Bu's heroic posture on the battlefield was clear to him, which also made him angry.
"With General Dian Wei by his side, why should this officer worry." Cao Cao laughed.
If the generals under his command can't even mention the most basic fighting spirit when facing Lu Bu, this is the saddest thing.
Cao Chun led more than 100 cavalry, including 500 of Cao Cao's personal guards, and set up a position two arrows away from the Xuzhou cavalry.
Although the Cao army was defeated in the battle, whether it was the personal guard or the tiger and leopard cavalry, they did not show a tendency of decline, as the most elite existence in the Cao army, even if they suffered setbacks on the battlefield, they had to face it bravely.
Lu Buce stepped forward immediately, lowered his halberd, and shouted, "Where is Cao Cao?" β
"Lu Fengxian, why did you lead the soldiers and horses into Yanzhou for no reason?" Cao Cao asked.
Seeing the situation that the generals behind Cao Cao were waiting for him, Lu Brown said, "Ben Hou led the troops to come, in order to pacify the disaster of the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou. β
"Wen Hou has a heart, the matter of the Yanzhou Yellow Turban, the official will deal with it, and Wen Hou doesn't need to worry about it." Cao Cao said lightly.
Sending troops to pacify Yanzhou Yellow Turbans is just an excuse for Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to take the opportunity to occupy Yanzhou, and the princes will definitely find a high-sounding reason for themselves when they send troops.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban ravaged Yanzhou and killed Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, which made Yuan Shu and Lu Bu see the opportunity, and if the same situation was put on other princes, it would be the same.
"Cao Mengde, Ben Hou led a large army to pacify the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans, but you led the army to block it, causing Ben Hou to lose a lot of soldiers under his account, what is the reason?" Lu Bu asked.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "The Ming people don't say dark words, Wen Hou led the army to come, if it is really to pacify the Yanzhou Yellow Turban, the official is grateful, but Wen Hou's heart is not above the Yanzhou Yellow Turban." β
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Fighting against the Benhou army is a capital crime. β
"If Wen Hou withdraws his troops, Yanzhou will give Wen Hou the grain and grass to consume when he sends his troops, and give Ren Chengguo to Wen Hou, I don't know what Wen Hou means?" Cao Cao said.
"Just a city state, I want to send Ben Hou away, how can there be such a simple thing, Yanzhou Yellow Turban is raging, since Meng De is not capable of guarding Yanzhou, Ben Hou will govern Yanzhou on his behalf." Lu Budao.
Seeing that Lu Bu said these words in public, Cao Cao knew that there was no room for turning around between the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army.
"Benhou came to return the soldiers of the Yanzhou army." Lu Bu gave an order, and hundreds of wounded Cao soldiers came to Cao's camp.
The soldiers of the Cao army suddenly felt like they were facing the enemy, and returned the captured soldiers, which was rarely seen in the engagement, and they suspected that this was Lu Bu's attempt to take the opportunity to attack the Cao army.
"Wen Hou is really a good method, and the official is very grateful." Cao Cao said without changing his face.
"Meng De is too polite, in fact, Ben Hou has a lot of appreciation for Meng De's ability, and now Yanzhou is in danger, if Meng De is willing to take refuge in Ben Hou, Ben Hou will definitely be reused." Lu Budao.
Cao Cao snorted coldly, "This official is Yanzhou Muye, how can he take refuge in thieves." β
"In this case, Ben Hou will not be polite, and after defeating Meng De, Yanzhou will still fall under Ben Hou's control." Lu Bu said lightly, full of confidence between his words.
The generals of the Cao army were furious when they heard this, Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao, but now Lu Bu is so rampant that he wants to seize Yanzhou.
