In a tent, Guo Jiaping, dressed in a green shirt, was lying on a straw mat, shaking his right leg, pouring the wine gourd from mid-air, and pouring the wine into his open mouth.

The curtain was lifted, and an incomparably tall figure came into view.

Guo Jia stopped his movements, sat up, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Da Sima, what's wrong?" ”

"The talent of filial piety, the ghosts and gods are unpredictable!"

Lu Bu found a place to sit down, convinced.

From the initial deception to lure the enemy, to capturing Sun Ce, to letting Sun Ce leave just now, every step was in the calculation of the young man in front of him.

Lu Bu knew very well that this would definitely not be a coincidence, just like digging Surabaya to irrigate Pi back then, it was all this person's strategy, and his mind was terrifyingly strong.

"When did Da Sima also learn the style of officialdom?"

Guo Jia didn't care about Lu Bu's praise, he put the wine gourd on the table, got up and took out the drawings of the Yan and Yu regions from the drawer, and slowly spread them out from left to right.

"The next thing to deal with is the 20,000 vanguard army of Qiaorui."

The fingertips lightly tapped on the outer yellow, and a fox-like cunning gradually appeared on Guo Jia's face.

After talking until the evening, Lu Bu returned to his camp.

At the door of the tent, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and others were standing, all of whom had not taken off their armor, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

Lu Bu stepped forward and glanced at everyone, a little unclear: "Why don't you go to sleep at night, why do you come to me to pestle?" ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and said loudly: "The last general and others are confused, so they came to ask the lord." ”

"Go in and tell me, I have something to tell you."

As he spoke, Lu Bu lifted the curtain of the tent, and everyone entered one after another.

After each of them sat down, Lu Bu first asked Zhang Liao and the others what doubts they had.

Zhang Liao answered truthfully.

It turned out that everyone didn't understand why they wanted to let Sun Ce go this afternoon. After all, it took a lot of effort to catch Sun Ce this time, and it will be difficult to capture him alive next time.

"Let Sun Ce go, there are two purposes."

The people present were all confidant generals, and Lu Bu had no need to hide it, so he raised two fingers and said carefully: "First, I really want to subdue this stubborn boy and take him for my own use; Second, letting Sun Ce go back was actually done on purpose. ”

The generals still don't understand.

Lu Bu had to be more detailed: "Sun Ce is like a bait, let him re-enter the sea, in order to catch the bridge behind him, and then swallow it in one bite. ”

Sun Ce now has very few troops under his command, and he can hardly pose a threat. If he wants to make a comeback, he can only go to Yuan Shu or Qiao Rui. And Qiao Rui, who is stationed in Waihuang, is undoubtedly the closest one to him.

"The lord is far-sighted, I can't wait!"

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and the others quickly reacted and looked at Lu Bu with reverence. It turned out that the lord's purpose was the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Qiao Rui.

"Your vision is still slightly lacking, and you should be more diligent and sharpened in the future." Lu Bu put on a thoughtful look, and taught the generals with a cheeky face.

In fact, he just said this, which is his own thoughts, they were all copied from Guo Jia, and they were just relayed as they were.

However, as the Lord, he should maintain a majestic and confident image. In this way, the soldiers under his command will have more perseverance and courage when they encounter danger.

Hearing Lu Bu's teaching, all the generals showed shame on their faces, and secretly made up their minds that they would not disappoint the lord next time.

Then, Xu Huang asked: "Lord, you just said that you have something to ask me to wait, I don't know what it is?" ”

The rest of the people were curious.

"Early tomorrow morning, let the soldiers of the three armies pull out the camp and retreat back to the county seat. And spread rumors along the way, saying that I had a secret illness and couldn't get out of bed, and I was afraid that time was short. ”

Then, find a few more from the surrender of Xinna, and take the opportunity to lash them out. They have hatred in their hearts, and they will definitely go to report to Sun Ce. ”

Lu Bu said lightly, the corners of his mouth hooked, full of confidence.

"Boss, didn't you just say that you were going to deal with Qiao Rui, why did you let someone report to Sun Ce's kid at this time?" Cao Xing scratched the back of his head vigorously, completely unable to understand.

Zhang Liao next to him explained: "General Cao, this is called throwing bricks and attracting jade. If Sun Ce learned that the general was critically ill, he would definitely find a way to repay the shame of the last return, but he had few soldiers and would inevitably ask Qiao Rui for help. However, when Qiao Rui learned that Sun Ce was defeated, he would not let him command the army again, but would personally lead the army to come. What's more, this is a godsend opportunity to make a name for yourself. ”

After listening to Zhang Liao's explanation, Cao Xuan also came to his senses in an instant, and slapped his face suddenly: "You mean, we used Sun Ce to deliver the news, in fact, to seduce Qiao Rui?" ”

Zhang Liao nodded.

If he can defeat Qiao Rui's 20,000 vanguard army, this blow to Yuan Shu will never be small.

"Now that everyone understands, let's do as planned." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he moved his gaze to the right again, "As for who to send a message to Sun Ce, I'll leave it to you, Cao Xing." ”

"Howler!"

Cao Xing grinned and replied, neatly and neatly, pretending to be a villain, in the entire military camp, he was the best.

In the early hours of the next morning, it was pitch black.

"Get up, get up, get up for Lao Tzu!"

Cao Xuan took people to the newly surrendered soldiers' barracks, and gave a sharp slap to those Jiangdong soldiers who were still asleep.

The soldiers who were awakened by the whip screamed and hurriedly got up from the ground and took refuge in all directions.

In less than half a pillar of incense, all 190 second-level soldiers were assembled outside the tent.

"From now on, your task is to clean the horse manure inside and outside the barracks, then boil water for cooking, and then feed the horses when it is almost dawn......

Cao Xuan held a short whip in his hand and walked back and forth as he spoke.

When the soldiers heard this, anger swelled in their hearts, and they obviously didn't want them to sleep!

At the front of the crowd, there was a man with a short temper who fought Cao Xing on the spot: "This general, we have already surrendered to you, so there is no need to deliberately target you like this!" ”

Syllable!

Before the man finished speaking, Cao Xing slammed his whip and slammed it on his body.

The man snorted, his face was furious, and he was about to step forward and beat Cao Xing. However, before he could get close to Cao Xing, he was directly subdued to the ground by two wolf cavalry battalion soldiers.

Cao Xing stepped forward, stepped on the man's head, and said with a smile: "Good boy, dare to fight back." Come, gagged him, tied him to a post, stripped him of his clothes, and whipped twenty! ”

The man couldn't resist and was forcibly tied to a stake.

A wolf cavalry battalion soldier took the leather whip handed by Cao Xing and whipped the man's body fiercely, beating the skin and flesh. Because his mouth was sealed, the man could only whine in pain, bearing the pain of burning like a fire again and again.

"Look at what, don't let Lao Tzu go and do things!"

Cao Xuan glanced at the soldiers who were on the spot, and scolded loudly.
