Chapter 1038: Variables
The generals who were separated and reunited were happy, and Lu Bu was also very happy when he saw it in his eyes.
After chatting for a while, everyone sat down, and Lu Bu asked: "What is the current movement of the enemy army in the city?" β
When it came to this, Hua Xiong was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and said angrily: "These defenders at the head of the city are really shrunken kings, my subordinates are scolding every day, and they are also calm, and they don't dare to go down to the city to fight with us!" β
When Lu Bu heard this, he was not too disappointed, after all, Xu Guang still had some ability to command troops.
The disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy is huge, and he does not dare to take great risks.
However, after the lord's surrender order was shot into the city, although it was confiscated by Liu Wei, the content of the inscription still spread among the people. I heard that after every night attack, there would be a lot more red scarves hanging in the city, and now the city is full of scarves. β
Guo Jia said with a smile, which shows that the people's hearts are no longer arguing towards Liu.
For ordinary people, there is hope for survival, and how many people are willing to die generously?
Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and others launched night attacks every now and then, even if it was a bluff with heavy thunder and small rain, it was enough to make the defenders' mentality explode.
"According to the information sent back by the spies planted in Xuzhou, Liu Bei is currently recruiting troops on a large scale, and it seems that there is a trend of reinforcements in Dongwuyang." Yang Xiu also interjected at this time.
Before, the intelligence of the Military Colonel's Affairs Office was originally under the sole responsibility of Xi Ce, but later Xi Ce was not in good health and sat in Chang'an, and the information in the army was transferred to Guo Jia.
As a result, Guo Jia thought that these things were too cumbersome, and it happened that Yang Xiu was talented and intelligent, so he divided most of them out and handed them over to Yang Xiu to follow up.
Fortunately, Yang Xiu did not disappoint, integrated and consolidated all the information, and handled it in an orderly and orderly manner.
"My lord, I thought that Liu Bei's recruitment should be to prevent the lord from conquering Xuzhou, not to save the siege of Wuyang." Xiao Ji groaned for a while, and then said with his hand.
"What Yuan Tu said is very much in line with my intentions."
Lu Bu nodded slightly, no one knew Liu Bei's personality better than him.
In the previous life, Lu Bu was defeated and captured, Liu Bei could save himself with just one word, but he said the heart-wrenching words of 'You don't see Dong Zhuo and Ding Jianyang', which made Cao Cao make up his mind to kill Lu Bu.
He is a person who is more generous and benevolent than anyone else on the surface, but in fact, once he has an opportunity, he is cold-blooded than anyone else.
Thinking that at the beginning, his second brother Guan Yu was captured and hung in the valley for three days, Liu Bei, who was the eldest brother, was afraid of being a big brother, so he didn't take any action until he learned that Guan Yu was dead.
The so-called 'but to die on the same day, the same month, the same year' is nothing more than that.
Another ten days passed.
Under the siege of LΓΌ Bu's army, the water source in the city was about to run out, and the defenders had to refrain from using water for this reason, and they were extremely economical.
However, Lu Jun deliberately arranged dozens of soldiers, took off their clothes and pants, and stood naked under the city, bathing with water, and shouting loudly at the city, splashing with water.
The city cherishes water like gold, but the city is a waste without scruples.
The soldiers at the head of the city hated it so much that their teeth itched.
At the same time, a team of about 3,000 horsemen, with a light car, made a detour from Nanwuyang, crossed the Miao River, and quickly rode straight to Changxi in the southeast.
They were cautious along the way, and they didn't even leak the slightest rumor.
The leader of the general was short-haired and thin-eyed, his eyes were bright, he was wearing dark yellow armor, and he was wearing a red robe on his shoulders.
"Lord, when you climb over this mountain, you will be in front of you." The little colonel, who was familiar with this place, pointed to the front and talked to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded, looked around, and saw that the place was quiet, so he ordered the soldiers to dismount and rest for a while.
Chang Xi has a wealthy family surnamed Tian, and his head Tian Liu has known Cao Cao for many years and has a deep friendship.
Soon after Cao Cao withdrew from Dongwuyang, he received a letter from this old friend. The letter mentioned that all the baggage and grain of the LΓΌ army were hoarded in Changxi, and every ten days, Changshu would organize people to transport them to Dongwuyang.
At that time, it was the time when Chang Xi was at his weakest.
The guard of Dongwuyang is Lu Bu's confidant general Ma Zhong, a lame man who walks with a limp.
Regarding Ma Zhong, Cao Cao has heard of it, this person was originally the horse boy of Yuan Shu, the general of the Tiger Ben, and his appearance was extremely ugly, but he had the ability to shoot with one hand. At that time, he also competed with Lu Bu in front of the first emperor Liu Hong, but as a result, he couldn't stumble, but was trampled on a war horse and broke his leg, and was abandoned by Yuan Shu since then.
Later, it is said that when he was humiliated and despaired, because of Lu Bu's help, he was able to pick him up and save his life.
Since then, Ma Zhong has changed his court and used it by Lu Bu.
"If Meng De has an idea, I should be the internal response and help the king seize Changxi!"
This is the finishing touch at the end of the letter.
After reading this letter, Cao Cao discussed it with his advisers Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others.
To fight, to fight or not to fight?
This is a problem.
Full of favor thought that Chang Xi was Lu Bu's grain and grass land, and there would definitely be a large number of soldiers and horses guarding it, and it would not be easy to break through this place, in case Lu Bu noticed it and suddenly killed back, Cao Jun would be in danger!
Cheng Yu is different, he is more inclined to attack than to withdraw conservatively. After all, at this juncture, no one would have thought that Cao Cao would turn back, let alone that he would be bold enough to attack Lu Bu's grain and grass camp.
Surprise and attack unprepared.
On the contrary, gambling is psychological tactics.
If he can capture Changji, all it takes is a big fire, and all the hard work of Lu Bu over the years will be wasted.
Although there are many defenders of Changxi, it may not be impossible to take advantage of the gap between the transportation of grain and the Arita family to respond and want to break through Changxi.
One of the two strategists agreed, the other opposed, and the decision-making power fell on Cao Cao.
He put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes, and thought about it for less than a cup of tea, and then came to a conclusion.
In the current situation, Lu Bu's power is so great that it is almost devastating.
Liu Wei refused to leave, and was trapped alone in Dongwuyang City, and was defeated by Lu Bu sooner or later.
As a Hanchen, he should always do something at this time!
Beat!
Cao Cao blurted out, his attitude resolute.
Knowing that Cao Cao wanted to personally lead the troops, the strategists and generals under his command thought that it was impossible, and this plan was a dangerous move, and there was no need to let the lord risk himself.
Cao Cao said: If I don't go, who will die!
Before leaving, Cao Cao left 7,000 foot soldiers to his son Cao Pi. In addition, there are Xu Chu and Yu Ban.
With the palm on his son's shoulder, Cao Cao's tone was unprecedentedly dignified: Pi'er, if your father is unfortunately defeated this time, then the Cao family in the future will be supported by you.
Cao Pi, who wanted to be rejected with him, stood straight, his heroic eyebrows were full of reluctance, and he seemed to use all his strength to say loudly: "Father will definitely win!" β
Cao Cao just smiled, rubbed his forehead, and then turned on his horse, took the leopard and other light horses, and rushed to Changxi.
