Lu Bu flaunted his might in front of people, and the cavalry who followed into the city also straightened their chests.

There was civil strife in Xuzhou, and the armies of Guangling and Xiapi attacked Pengcheng, sweeping away Liu Dai's depression in the past.

"This official got the news, Xuzhou was in chaos, Guangling Taishou and Xiapi announced that they would turn their backs on Lu Bu and send a large army to attack Pengcheng, after the news came, everyone in the Xuzhou army must be in danger." Liu Dai laughed.

Wang Kai said: "Zhou Mu, this is an opportunity for our army, once the Xuzhou army is in chaos, our army will take advantage of the situation and victory will be within reach." ”

The generals in the army also showed an excited look, when they clashed with the Xuzhou army before, they had a depressed feeling, the cavalry strength in the Xuzhou army was too strong, and when facing the cavalry, even if they thought they had superb strength, it was difficult to get benefits in the hands of the cavalry.

In the long run, the officers and men in the army will inevitably doubt their abilities, but now the opportunity is in front of them, and they have the opportunity to be ashamed of the Xuzhou army.

Liu Dai stroked his beard lightly with satisfaction, and seemed to see the defeated side of the Xuzhou army.

Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, came out and said: "Zhou Mu, from the point of view of the following officials, this matter should be cautious, in the Xuzhou army, there are resourceful people to help, how can Lu Bu have no means to deal with it?" ”

"Mengde, don't let others be angry and destroy your own prestige." Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu sneered.

Bao Xin said: "Zhou Mu, the lower officials think that they can attack the Xuzhou army, and take advantage of the instability of the people in the Xuzhou army to defeat it, so that the situation in Yanzhou will be stabilized." ”

Liu Dai smiled and was about to give an order, when suddenly a general hurriedly walked into the big tent.

"What's so alarming?" Liu Dai scolded dissatisfiedly.

The general clasped his fists and said: "Zhou Mu, there is urgent information from Changyi, and a large number of cavalry have appeared outside Changyi City, all under the banner of the Xuzhou Army. ”

Liu Dai's expression was not calm, "The cavalry in the Xuzhou army actually appeared in Changyi, what is the situation in Changyi?" ”

Yanzhou is the foundation of Liu Dai, he doesn't want to be like Tao Qian, who left Xuzhou in disgrace after losing Pengcheng.

The troubled times have begun, and on the stage of this confrontation and competition between princes, how far you can go depends on your own skills.

As soon as the news of the appearance of Xuzhou cavalry outside Changyi City came, there was news that Lu Bu led the cavalry back to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao arched his hand and said: "The lower official suggested that the state pastor send a large army to attack the Xuzhou army. ”

Liu Dai frowned and said: "The current situation in Yanzhou is unstable, and the main thing is to defeat the enemy cavalry that appeared near Changyi, so that the officers and men in the army can feel more at ease when fighting." ”

"The state pastor, the humble position thinks that the words of the East County Taishou are reasonable." Strategist Cheng Yu said.

Liu Dai asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Cheng Yu has talent, but through his usual performance, it can be seen that Cheng Yu is just giving advice on the sidelines, and he doesn't really have the heart to do things for him, but Cheng Yu has unique opinions on some things, which is why Liu Dai let Cheng Yu appear in the Chinese army.

Brainstorming, when fighting against the Xuzhou army, you must need the help of resourceful people.

"At present, the Xuzhou army and our army are facing each other in Fanghe, the Xuzhou army is like a rainbow, our army is numerous, and the two sides are deadlocked, but after the news of the rebellion in Xuzhou came, Lu Bu must have panicked, and this is why there is a Xuzhou cavalry outside Changyi City, and Lu Bu is leading the cavalry to support Pengcheng." Cheng Yu said: "Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, if he leads the cavalry back to Pengcheng, the army of Xiapi and Guangling will definitely not be Lu Bu's opponent, if Lu Bu defeats the army of Guangling and Xiapi and returns to Yanzhou, it will be more difficult for Zhou Mu to break through the Xuzhou army." ”

Engaged in Xu Yan said: "The state pastor, the humble position thinks that this statement is reasonable, Lu Bu sent all the cavalry under his command, the army must be empty, and the Xuzhou army that has lost the cavalry as a reliance, what is there to fear?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu deeply, although Cheng Yu's words were simple, they made a clear analysis of the current situation between the two sides, and it was indeed Liu Dai's luck to have such a resourceful person under Liu Dai's command.

As if sensing Cao Cao's gaze, Cheng Yu nodded slightly to Cao Cao.

Liu Dai said: "Your words are quite reasonable, Lu Bu's betrayal of the Han family is the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, such a traitor, everyone will be punished, this official decided to send troops to attack the Xuzhou army." ”

"Whoa." Everyone said in unison.

In this confrontation, the Yanzhou army has a great chance of winning.

The reason why the Yanzhou army was at a disadvantage when it clashed with the Xuzhou army was that it was inseparable from the elite cavalry in the Xuzhou army, and the power of the cavalry was not something that the infantry could resist at all.

Now that the Xuzhou army has lost the huge advantage of cavalry, can it still maintain victory in the face of the Yanzhou army's attack?

The Xuzhou army is brave and good at fighting, and the Yanzhou army is also not weak.

Liu Dai was full of confidence in the upcoming war, and he wanted to be ashamed in this battle, so that Lu Bu could understand the strength of the Yanzhou army.

"When the army triumphs, the official will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." Liu Dai said heroically with a wave of his hand.

When the generals in the army heard this, their expressions were excited, as if the credit had already been in their hands.

The Yanzhou Army had been suppressed by the Xuzhou Army before, and the generals of the Yanzhou Army were also depressed, but now they saw the opportunity to defeat the Xuzhou Army.

The opportunity to defeat the enemy army is very rare, and often the difference between a good general and a mediocre person lies in whether or not he can be prepared to grasp the opportunities that arise on the battlefield.

Cao Cao is contemplative, after fighting with the Xuzhou army, he realized the difficulty of the Xuzhou army, Lu Bu is a world-famous general, brave and good at fighting, this Cao Cao admitted, even Xiahou Yuan and other fierce generals died in the hands of Lu Bu.

However, the resourcefulness shown by Lü Bu in the process of leading the army to fight against the Yanzhou army was not trivial, and if these stratagems were from Lü Bu, Cao Cao would definitely not believe it.

This also shows that by Lu Bu's side, there must be strategists to help.

"Could it be that this is deliberately done by the Xuzhou Army, just to let the Yanzhou Army see the opportunity to advance lightly?" Cao Cao had doubts in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, Cao Cao hurried to the army, at this time, even if he said that the sky was falling, Liu Dai would not believe his speculation, there was nothing more important to Liu Dai than victory on the battlefield.

The next day, when the sky was twilight, the Yanzhou army was ready to fight, and after the officers and men of the army had a full meal, they would be greeted by a battle on the battlefield.

After the news of the Yanzhou army dispatching 20,000 people came, Zhang Liao said: "As expected, Yanzhou couldn't hold back and wanted to fight with our army." ”
