Chapter 439: Lou Gui

"So, Lu Bu really doesn't have any plans to enter my Yanzhou?"

It was when Lu Bu was still lamenting whether his son in the future would be as good as Sun Jian and Cao Cao's son, but Cao Cao, who was still fighting in Xuzhou, heard the words of Lu Bu and Cao Hong, and pretended to smile easily.

The cold winter is coming, even though Xuzhou is not as cold as the north, but there are still snowflakes floating in the sky. But even in such weather, Cao Jun still chose to attack Tanxian, while Cao Cao, the main general, rode a tall horse to inspect the progress of the war under the city.

Beside him, a scribe-like figure of about thirty or so, with a thin face, rode a handsome white horse, and watched the battle with Cao Cao, "I have expected that even if Na Lu Bu will quell the Taihang bandits within a few months, he will still be sleepy and lacking in people. And now it is also a cold winter, in such bad weather, Lu Bu will naturally not send troops. ”

"I'm looking forward to him being able to send troops!"

Cao Cao looked into the distance, and the soldiers and horses attacking the city in front seemed to be frustrated again, which made Cao Cao's small eyes squint slightly, "After the Taihang bandits are swept away, there is almost no internal trouble in the state...... In the spring of next year, that tiger can eat people! ”

"This is the reason why Meng De insisted on refusing to withdraw from the army, and had to capture Xuzhou with a tired pawn?"

The scribe-looking man stared at Cao Cao, but there was a lot of disrespect in his tone, "You should understand that Xuzhou is not something we can swallow in one bite!" If this continues, the morale of the military will inevitably change! ”

"Uncle Zi-"

In the face of the scribe's reprimand, Cao Cao was not angry, and was about to explain to him, but Cao Ren, who was attacking the city in front, returned. As soon as he got off the horse, he asked Cao Cao for his guilt, "The last general will attack the city is not good, and please punish the lord!" ”

"Why is it bad to siege the city?"

Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

Cao Ren replied truthfully, "The resistance of the soldiers in the city is stubborn, but the morale of our army is low, even though I led the army to supervise the battle, there are still many soldiers who turn around and flee!" ”

"Do you see Tao Qian's old thief?"

"I haven't seen it!"

Cao Ren replied, "It is Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou, who guards the city, and it is his other driver who supervises the battle. ”

"Zixiao, get up!"

After learning Cao Ren's answer, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to get up, "I also saw the siege battle just now, it's not your crime!" It seems that the morale of our army is indeed not optimistic......"

"I said a long time ago, Xuzhou has to fight a battle!"

Lou Gui on this side replied.

When Cao Cao heard this, he also frowned, and set his eyes on Lou Gui, "I don't don't understand the truth that Uncle Zi said. It's just that this Zhicai also told me that it is best to take down Xuzhou in one go! ”

"But this Xuzhou, how could it be taken down so easily?"

Lou Gui was also dissatisfied, "You have also seen that now the morale is low and the weather is bad, and there is no fighting spirit from top to bottom...... What worries us even more is the ...... of our army's food and grass."

In the face of Lou Gui's sharp rebuke, Cao Cao didn't know how to refute it for a while. What's more, there is no one around who can discuss big things with them. Not long ago, after the battle of Pengcheng, Xi Ce suddenly fell ill, and Cao Cao was afraid that the drama strategy would fail, so he immediately ordered people to send Xi Ce back to Yanzhou for treatment. And Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were also guarding the rear at this time.

So, in such a situation, the only person who can discuss major matters is this Lou Zibo!

Let's say who is this Lou Gui and Lou Zibo?

That is also Cao Cao's old friend when he was young, there are many strategies, in the early peace years, Lou Gui gathered some troops in the north of Jingzhou, first attached to Liu Biao, and later saw his old friend Cao Cao in Yanzhou mixed with the wind and water, is to come to like, Cao Cao appointed as a general, to participate in the planning of military affairs.

This Lou Gui has few fierce ambitions, don't look at him, he seems to be just a scribe, but his ambition when he was a teenager was to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! It's just that I don't know if Cao Cao saw the talent of this old friend, in short, he only let him participate in military affairs, but he didn't let Lou Gui command the army.

Now after Xice fell ill, Lou Gui seemed to be the most relied on wise man under Cao Cao's account. It's just that this wise man doesn't approve of some of the things Cao Cao is doing now.

"Then according to Zibo's plan, or should I retire from the army? Or ......"

"Naturally, it's a retreat!"

Before Lou Gui could finish Cao Cao's words, he immediately replied, "At this time, if you attack Tan County, even if you say that the sky is broken, it will be impossible to capture it!" And even though that Tao Gongzu couldn't afford to be sick, his people were not dead after all, and the hearts of the upper and lower armies in Xuzhou had not yet collapsed, so attacking the city like this was just a futile effort after all, and it was just a matter of increasing casualties. The only plan for today is to retreat back to Yanzhou first, take a good rest, and wait until next spring, and then sweep in, and you will be able to fight down! ”

"In that case......

Cao Cao sighed lightly, "Then let's retreat!" ”

In Cao Cao's eyes, where can he not see the result that Xuzhou cannot fight in one battle? The reason why it has been delayed until now is that Cao Cao still has a fluke heart. In case, that Tao Qian really died of illness at this time, then maybe it is really possible to capture this Xuzhou.

And the reason why Cao Cao insisted on capturing Xuzhou at this time was also quite agreeing with Xi Ce and some of what he said.

After the battle of Pengcheng, Xi Ce fell ill, and when he was about to go to the rear, he told Cao Cao. If this is to wait for the spring of next year, continue to make a comeback, and fight Xuzhou again, it is good, but at that time, I am afraid that Lu Bu, who is in the state, will not surprise Yanzhou.

But again.

In the face of today's situation, even if the drama is here, it is helpless, right? Tanxian County has not been able to go down for a long time, and there is no will to fight up and down, that is, the grain and grass are insufficient, and the money is also very expensive. Now the only way to do this is to retreat.

Cao Jun slowly retreated like a tide.

Those soldiers in Tanxian County were all cheering!

Even the general Cao Bao of Xuzhou was triumphant, thinking that Cao Jun was nothing more than that. Looking at those retreating Cao Jun, I still wanted to go in pursuit.

It's just that his idea was immediately rejected by Lu Zhu.

Tao Qian was still sick in bed at this time, and the people in Tanxian County were still unstable. Cao Bao still wants to go out of the city to pursue Cao Jun? This one fell into the plan of the Cao army, so that the soldiers were lost, then the entire Xuzhou will not be protected!

"If you don't pursue Cao Jun at this time, it will be too late to regret it in the future!"

Cao Bao glanced at Elk Zhu coldly, sneered, and turned to leave.

And looking at Cao Bao's figure, Lu Zhu's face instantly became gloomy. Since Tao Qian fell ill, there is Cao Cao, the great enemy, outside, and inside, Cao Bao, the general who commands the army, has become more and more domineering!

If one day, Tao Qian goes, I am afraid that this Cao Bao will take charge of Xuzhou in an instant! At that time, his elk's house will be in Xuzhou, and it will really be a place where there is no cone.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
