Fan County is not broken.

This was thanks to Lu Bu's decisive order, if he hadn't asked Sun Ce to rush to Fan County immediately, this Fan County might really be lost! After Cao Cao broke his longevity, he also sent generals to take Fan County, wanting to fight quickly. The chief general of the Cao army who went to take Fan County was Xiahou Yuan.

Sun Ce defended Fan County, and also stopped Cao Jun's unstoppable momentum. By the time Cao Cao's main army approached the city of Fanxian, Lu Bu's army had entered the city, and the soldiers in the city of Fanxian had already been ready for battle!

In the face of the heavily guarded Fan County, Cao Cao still chose to attack, and tens of thousands of Cao troops charged to the death as if they were not dying. For a time, the pressure on Fan County was extremely great. But Lu Bu, who patrolled the city wall every day, smiled when he looked at Cao Jun's lifeless play.

Everything was as he expected, Cao Jun was categorically out of food, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this! The more fierce the Cao army's siege of the city, the more it can show how serious the danger of the Cao army's food shortage is.

For this reason, Lu Bu also sent people to inquire about the situation in Cao Ying, and someone in the secret division sent a message that Cao Jun's food was really running out, and the daily rations of those soldiers were gradually decreasing. Only those soldiers who attacked the walls first had a little more daily rations to ensure that they had enough strength to work their lives.

After another two days, Lü Bu sent an envoy to Cao's camp.

The purpose of this envoy to Cao Ying was only to return some of Cao Jun's corpses. When the two armies were at war, it was normal for each other to send envoys to the enemy camp to inquire about the news. The envoy sent by Zhuge Liang went to the Wei camp, and Sima Yi also asked Yu Zhuge Liang how much he slept, ate, and did errands. The messenger really thought that Sima Yi was just greeting him, so he answered truthfully. Who knows, Sima Yi can sense the news that Zhuge Liang is about to die soon.

The envoy first talked about some official matters, and after the official talk, when everyone thought that the envoy wanted to retreat, the envoy suddenly asked, "My prince may ask Cao Yanzhou, how many hours of sleep have you slept every day for the past two days, how much food has you eaten, and is your body okay?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao smiled, answered truthfully, and then said, "I never thought that Wen Hou still cared about me?" You can go back and tell him that I don't need to worry about my body, or worry about my own body more! If our army breaks the city, I am afraid that we will not be able to guarantee the safety of Wenhou. ”

The envoy smiled faintly, but said bluntly, "I don't know how long the grain and grass in Cao Jun's army can last?" ”

At this moment, the envoy's gaze immediately scanned the surrounding people, and he could see that everyone in Cao Ying's camp was still a little surprised. But Cao Cao's face did not change, and he said with a smile, "It seems that Wen Hou suspects that our army is short of food and grass?" can let Wen Hou rest assured that the grain and grass of our army can still support Xunyue for a long time! ”

The envoy was not very satisfied, he did not see anything from Cao Cao's expression, not even a moment of horror.

Lu Bu's messenger retreated.

Cao Cao's gaze looked at the back of the envoy, and a trace of cunning and fierce eyes flashed.

"Gone?"

In Fan County, after Guo Jia saw what the envoy said, he wanted to ask something, but the envoy didn't know anything.

"What do you think?"

Lu Bu rewarded the envoy and asked him to go down, then asked softly.

"Cao Jun is short of food, there can be no mistake!"

Guo Jia still firmly believed in his judgment, "As for the lack of much reaction from everyone in this Cao army, I guess it may be that Cao Cao hid the news, and I'm afraid only a few people know about it......"

"In my opinion, it's better to be cautious."

Chen Gong hesitated a little, "You still can't fight a decisive battle rashly, you still have to hold on for two more days, so that the certainty will be greater!" ”

"We can't go any further! If Cao's army can't be delayed, can our army be delayed? ”

Sun Ce, who had been silent, got up abruptly and clenched his fists, "There are only 30,000 Cao troops outside, and there are thousands of casualties in the past two days, which means that they only have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention the danger of running out of food, even if there is no shortage of food, our army can defeat him." There are now 20,000 soldiers and horses in Fan County, as well as 2,000 iron cavalry of the prince, and the Cao army can be defeated in one battle! If it continues to drag on, Cao Ren may really beat Ren Cheng, and at that time, you are still here to talk about whether Cao Jun is short of food, isn't it ridiculous? ”

After Cao Ren's 10,000-strong army went to attack Rencheng, Lü Bu made Li Dian the main general, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue as deputy generals, and commanded three or four thousand soldiers and horses to save Rencheng. It's just that no one knows how long this city can hold on.

Is Cao Jun really out of food? At this time, can you go out of the city and fight Cao Jun? The pressure on Lu Bu on the main seat was heavy.

"We'll have to wait."

After a long time, Lu Bu spoke up, "We can't let go of such an opportunity to defeat the Cao army, even though the Cao army is short of food, it has not yet run out of food!" I guess that the Cao army will only have a few days of food shortage, as long as the Cao army runs out of food, there will be chaos in the army, but the Cao army may most likely choose to withdraw from the army, and we must pay close attention to whether the Cao army has withdrawn in the past two days! ”

"No!"

The people took the command.

Lu Bu on the main throne is in the calculation. Cao Cao's 30,000 army consumed about 2,000 stone of grain and grass every day. Cao's army besieged the city for about five or six days, so it should have consumed ten thousand stones of grain and grass! Cao Jun came from afar, even if he looted along the way, how much grain and grass could he raise? Cao Jun is not short of food, so it is only possible that Cao Cao conjured up the grain and grass out of thin air!

The food and grass consumed by the army are really terrifying. Even if Lu Bu has the grain and grass supplied by Yuan Shu, the grain and grass supplied by the county, and some grain and grass looted, there is still some pressure on the supply of grain and grass. Moreover, the cavalry consumed more grain and grass than the foot soldiers, and Lu Bu's two thousand cavalry were very powerful on the battlefield, but they also cost money and food.

The little thing Lu Bu can do is to wait for Cao Jun to run out of food, then Cao Jun's situation will be very dangerous. These tens of thousands of Cao troops are now sandwiched between Fanxian and Xuchang. If Cao Jun really retired from the army due to food shortage, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After everyone left, Lu Bu left Dong Zhao alone, "Gongren, you go and draft a letter, and I will send it to Li Dian in Rencheng." ”

"No!"

Dong Zhao responded.

asked Li Dian to defend Ren City, Lu Bu was not worried that the Li family would turn against him, so he let Cheng Lian Wei Yue be the deputy general, and he helped Li Dian defend the city in the clear sense, but he actually went to supervise the army.

However, Lu Bu was convinced that the Li family should not continue to fall to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is now a traitor, how many people still have hope for Cao Cao. It's just that what Lu Bu didn't know was that the Li family in history really fell to Cao Cao.

But the reason why the Li family fell to Cao Cao was that there was something wrong with Lu Bu's approach! People who are accustomed to solving problems with knives naturally do not want to be reasonable. Lu Bu in history killed Li Gan, which made the Li family completely throw himself into Cao Cao. Li Gan's son Li Quan and nephew Li Dian continued to gather their troops to fight against Lu Bu. Lu Bu defeated Puyang, and when he switched to the Cheng clan, he also let the unknown Li Jinzhi defeat. This can be regarded as a black history of the brave and warlike flying general in history, the dignified Wen Hou actually capsized in the gutter.
