Chapter 426: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger
LΓΌ Bu led a large army to Lumenting, and was stationed only a mile away from Cao's army that night, without any posture to attack.
At night, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to light bonfires in the barracks, looking from the hill near Lumen Pavilion, the bonfires in the barracks were connected into a piece, and the starlight in the night sky was set against each other, as if countless stars were inlaid on the ground shrouded in night.
Since Lu Bu came here, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun have always been on guard, and they don't dare to relax even for a moment.
Standing on the hill, looking at the place where the Xuzhou army was stationed, Cao Ren said to Xiahoudun: "Yuanrang go and rest, I'll keep an eye on it tonight, if there is anything abnormal, I will tell you immediately." β
"Zixiao is the main general, how can there be a reason that the main general is staring at the mountain, but I am going to rest?" Xiahoudun said: "Or Zixiao is going to rest, I'm here, aren't you still at ease?" β
"Yuan Rang is here, of course I'm relieved." Cao Ren replied: "It's just that Yuan Rang is brave and brave, if Lu Bu comes, you still have the strength to fight, but I am not his opponent." Rather than me going to rest and nourish my spirit, it is better for Yuan Rang to rest. When Lu Bu came, there was someone who could deal with it. β
When it comes to martial arts, Xiahoudun is indeed much stronger than Cao Ren.
When Cao Ren said this, Xiahoudun frowned slightly: "When it comes to martial arts, even if there are three or five, I am not Lu Bu's opponent." If you decide who is going to rest, there is really no need. I think it's better to let the soldiers prepare early, and always watch out for Lu Bu to kill it more securely. β
LΓΌ Bu once single-handedly confronted dozens of Cao army generals, including Xiahoudun.
The few people who were picked and killed by him were all ordinary, but there were many people like Xiahoudun who bravely crowned the three armies that day.
Cao Ren sighed softly: "I really don't understand why the heavens favor Lu Bu so much. He was already in middle age, and his bravery declined a little bit every day he passed. But he returned to his youth overnight after the first battle of Xiapi, and today's bravery is indeed not something we can deal with. β
Xiahoudun's face was also very bad.
When Cao Ren sighed, Xiahoudun, whose face was gloomy, didn't say anything.
The two of them had already led the soldiers to Lumen Pavilion to make arrangements, waiting for Lu Bu to arrive, and then give a head-on blow.
But Lu Bu really came, but Cao Ren and Xiahoudun felt endless pressure.
In the face of Lu Bu, the killing god, even fierce generals like Xiahoudun and Cao Ren would feel heavy pressure.
In order to beware of Lu Bu, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren didn't feel sleepy until late at night.
Lu Bu wanted to sleep, but the generals and strategists who came here with the army were still gathered in his tent.
Everyone learned that he had the intention of riding alone into Cao's army the next day, and they came here to dissuade him from doing so.
After listening to everyone's persuasion, Lu Bu asked them, "Can you let me tell me about my plans?" β
Lu Bu had something to say, of course everyone wouldn't speak again, and their eyes were staring at him.
"I know what you're all worried about." LΓΌ Bu said to the generals and strategists: "What you are worried about is that I will not succeed in charging into battle, and I will either be killed by the Cao army or captured by them. β
"Since Chu Hou understands, why do you still do that?" Zhou Yu said: "The soldiers are all looking at Chu Hou, in case Chu Hou has an accident, how do we want to deal with it?" More than 100,000 soldiers went out to defeat Cao Cao, so as to change the situation in the Central Plains, and follow the Marquis of Chu to achieve meritorious deeds in the future. Once Chu Hou fell into a critical situation, how could the soldiers not save him? Cao Cao is treacherous, and he must have been prepared to take advantage of the unstable morale of our army to completely defeat our army......"
"Gong Jin turned out to have no confidence in me." Lu Bu smiled slightly: "I thought you all believed in my bravery, and thought that I would definitely be able to kill back and forth among the Cao army......"
"Chu Hou Yongwu, of course we all know." Xu Shu said: "But Chu Hou also has to understand that it is not just brave to win on the battlefield. It is also necessary to deploy the three armed forces, and the officers and men will move forward steadily. β
Looking at the others, Lu Bu had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I know that you all have such a mind, you only know that I am too risky to do this, but you don't know why I am doing this." β
"Of course, we know that Chu Hou is to show off his martial arts, make Cao Jun fearful, and also make our soldiers morale high." Xu Shu said: "But what Gongjin said is also right, it is better to say that Chu Hou can successfully enter and kill, if not, it will not put the soldiers in a mortal situation." β
"Martial arts?" Lu Bu shook his head with a smile: "It seems that none of you really understand me." Is a low-key and introverted person like me so eager to show off his martial arts? β
Lu Bu said that he was low-key and introverted, and everyone was slandered in their hearts.
Since he joined Lu Bu, I have only seen him flamboyant everywhere, and I have really never seen his low-key and introverted side.
Although he didn't agree with Lu Bu's statement in his heart, no one would say it to his face.
After all, Lu Bu is their lord, and if he exposes his statement to his face, it will really make him unbearable......
Everyone was speechless, and Lu Bu continued: "Since the first battle of Xiapi, Cao Cao has repeatedly attacked Xuzhou, although we have thwarted his attacks every time, but our real counterattack is now. If the soldiers want to defend against Cao's army, they will still have enough morale. But when I led them to attack Cao Cao, many soldiers were deeply worried in their hearts. β
Not only did the strategists know in their hearts that Lu Bu's statement was correct, but the generals also understood it very well.
Glancing at each other, everyone showed a trace of confusion and hesitation on their faces.
Zhou Yu said to Lu Bu: "What Chu Hou said is indeed right, but we still think it ......"
"Actually, you're right." Lu Bu interrupted Zhou Yu, he stood up and looked around at everyone: "The soldiers are afraid of Cao Cao, and if we don't dispel their concerns, we will definitely not be able to please the war in the future." The best way to dispel their worries is to show the soldiers that they are not following the wrong person! Follow me, I can lead them to destroy Cao Cao, I can take them to dominate the world, and I can let them achieve immortal feats! β
"Chu Hou's idea is indeed right, but ......" Zhou Yu still didn't agree with Lu Bu's statement.
His worries were actually the worries of everyone, otherwise almost all the generals and strategists would not have come to dissuade Lu Bu.
Lu Bu interrupted him again: "There is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger!" If I don't go, sooner or later I will still lose to Cao Cao. If I go, as long as I can fight in and out, so that the soldiers can see with their own eyes, the morale will be high from now on, what else does Cao Cao have to fight with me? β
