Cao Cao rode on a war horse, looking at the Puyang city wall hundreds of zhang away, and he felt proud in his heart.

When Cao Cao heard about Ma's report and learned that Lu Bu had poured 20,000 troops into the Dongjun City at night, he was extremely uneasy in his heart. Although he didn't know how many defenders were left in Dongjun City at that time, it would never exceed five thousand. Although Xiahoudun and Gao Shun can be said to be good generals for a while, under such a huge gap, the chances of winning are really slim.

But a miracle happened, they not only repelled the invasion of Lu Bu's army, but even injured Lu Bu himself.

Although it is not known exactly how Lu Bu was injured, according to the report, when his army withdrew, Lu Bu was indeed lying in the military tent and could not move. This news made Cao Cao very excited, and Lu Bu attacked our city with all his might, not only did he not get any benefits, but he himself suffered a big loss in Dongjun City. It can be seen from this that the military strength of our army is so strong!

But the smugness is complacent, and the things that should be seriously considered still have to be considered. Lü Bu must be driven out of Puyang City and out of this Yanzhou, which is the most basic principle and course of action of Cao's army at present. Of course, if Lu Bu wants to stay, it's not impossible, as long as he leaves his own body in Yanzhou, there is no problem!

However, Puyang is also regarded as a fortified city in Yanzhou, and Xiahoudun did not resist much in order to preserve his strength and Gao Shun's confluence, so the city defense of Puyang City was not damaged. Now Lu Bu's army is cowering in the city, although in terms of military strength, his own side is three times that of the enemy, but its number is as high as 15,000 after all. If Lu Bujun made up his mind to defend it, then it would not be a simple matter to break the city.

"Puyang, Puyang, what should I do?" Cao Cao muttered to himself. Of course, it is not impossible to attack by force, but in that case, it will last for a long time, and even if Puyang is breached, the loss of the self-army will definitely be a considerable number. Outsmart? But where does this "wisdom" come from?

"Is the lord worried about how to recapture Puyang?" I don't know when, Guo Jia slowly paced to Cao Cao's side and asked with a smile.

"Is there a good way to be filial piety?" I am worried about Puyang, as long as I am a person with a normal brain, I can see it. Guo Jia wouldn't have nothing to do and ran to his side to point out such a point, presumably he had a way to break the city in his heart.

"Lure." Guo Jia only replied with one word, which was really concise and to the point.

"Temptation? How can it be so tempting? Although Lu Bu was reckless, he was seriously wounded, and now his military affairs were entrusted to Chen Gong alone. As soon as Chen Gong's name was mentioned, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, "I know this person Chen Gong very well, although he is a literati, he has a resolute personality and will not flinch in the face of danger. However, he is just and strong, and at the same time, he is as careful as a hair, and he will not easily break into danger. Lu Bujun is now under his control, and it is very difficult to lure him out of the city! ”

"Why should the lord be in a hurry, although Lu Bu was injured, he did not die after all. As long as Lu Bu lived, would he allow his army to obey the orders of others? Guo Jia still had that smile on his face, mysterious and confident, "I heard that when Lu Bujun was in Dongjun, Gao Changgong had a wedge between Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and the effect was not bad. Chen Gong was in charge of military affairs at this time, although it was a necessary move, but it was undoubtedly to increase the suspicion between him and Lu Bu. The so-called opportunities are, it depends on how we do them. ”

"Gao Shun? What a guy that surprised me this time. When Cao Cao heard this, he brushed his beard and said.

————————————————————————————————

"What! You're going to lead your army out of the city! Fight Cao Cao head-on! Chen Gong's tone and expression at this time were not exaggerated at all, and even when facing Lu Bu, the lord, he forgot to use honorifics, and directly addressed "you".

"Not bad." Lu Bu's face was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Bu's body was much stronger than Gao Shun's, so his injuries were lighter than Gao Shun's, and although he hadn't healed at this time, he was no longer in serious trouble.

However, as long as he thought of that night and recalled the scene of being pushed down from the top of the city tower, Lu Bu's face was gloomy.

Shame! Shame on you!

Lu Bu's mood at this time was unhappy and depressed to the extreme, it can be said that there was an evil fire rising in his chest. If you don't find him a battlefield where he can vent and let him fight happily, but block him in Puyang City, I'm afraid he will drive him crazy.

"No! Never! Chen Gong loudly expressed his protest, "Cao Cao's army is three times that of mine, and the only way to do it today is to defend it in Puyang City, in that case, with the advantage of the city, our army may still have a glimmer of life." If you go out of the city to fight with Cao's army, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out! ”

"I didn't plan on a decisive battle with Cao Jun. Instead, he formed a large army into a sharp cone array and stormed its army, hoping to cut off Cao Cao's head in one fell swoop! As soon as Cao Cao died, his army collapsed! Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Chen Gong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lu Bu to have such a plan in his heart. But even so, he still has to object, what kind of person Cao Cao is, and the guardian power of his own Chinese army will naturally not be weak. Even if he attacked it with all his might, the chance of successfully killing Cao Cao was too small, so small that it was insignificant. Once surrounded by its army, then even if you want to escape, you will probably have no way to escape.

"It's the best option right now." Seeing that Chen Gong still wanted to refute, Lu Bu took the lead in blocking his words, "Trapped in Puyang? Cao Cao's army entered Yanzhou, and the cities we had previously captured would surely be recaptured by him one by one, and then we would be a lonely piece of land in Yanzhou, with his men and horses on all sides. At that time, the thief will not even need to do anything, and he will be trapped alive...... The way to survive is not guarded, nor is it conceived by stratagem, but fought with life! ”

Chen Gong listened to Lu Bu's words, and felt a little stupid. It's not that Lu Bu's statement is ridiculous, but what he said couldn't be more reasonable. Chen Gong's insistence is indeed correct for now, but as Lü Bu said, once Cao Cao completes the re-control of the entire territory of Yanzhou, then the situation of the self-army will be greatly bad.

I didn't expect that Lu Bu, who had always been reckless, could see this, it was not easy. In fact, Chen Gong had already thought of this problem, but he didn't think of a way to solve it, so he could only take one step at a time, and do the defensive work in front of him first.

Chen Gong also wanted to persuade Lu Bu to give up the idea of attacking, after all, the stakes were too big, and the chances of winning were very small. But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them. Lu Bu has made all the reasons very clear, if he wants to oppose it, then there must be two prerequisites, one is to prove that Lu Bu's point of view is wrong, and the other is to admit that his point of view is correct, but at the same time, he can come up with a way to gain the upper hand in the protracted war in the future. It's a pity that now I know very well that Lu Bu's statement is correct, and in addition, he really has no way to win after Cao Cao gains a firm foothold in Yanzhou, so he will lose his position to oppose Lu Bu's attack.

"I hope that with the courage of the lord, I can really take down the head of the Cao thief." Until now, Chen Gong could only pray sincerely, hoping for a miracle to come.
