Cao Ren and Xiahoudun garrisoned Lumenting in an attempt to block the advance of Lü Bu's army.

Summoning Zhou Yu and the others in front of him, Lu Bu asked them how to break the enemy.

Zhou Yu asked: "Dare to ask Chu Hou, do Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun have any other deployments besides being stationed on the mountain hill with their backs?" ”

"I think I have, but the scouts haven't found out." Lu Bu said: "Cao's army is well guarded, and the scouts have no chance to get close to the hill. If they hadn't deployed anything, they would never have placed so many sentry posts around the hill. ”

"Chu Hou's analysis is right." Zhou Yu said: "What we have to figure out now is what Cao Jun deployed on the hill. ”

"I think they're supposed to be deploying ordnance to protect against the Air Force." Xu Shu interjected: "It is said that the Marquis of Chu fought in Dangshan earlier, and the air force made miraculous achievements. Although the air force suffered a big loss at the hands of Cao Cao in the second battle of Dangshan, they were Cao Cao's most feared soldiers and horses after all. It is not surprising that Cao's army deployed ordnance to defend against the air force on the hill. ”

"Yuan Zhi's words are reasonable." Lu Bu nodded and said: "I also feel that they should deploy ordnance to protect against the air force, but I don't know how much is deployed and in what direction." With no understanding of the enemy's disposition, the Air Force is afraid that it will suffer a great loss. ”

"It's better to drop the paratroopers on the hill." Zhou Yu said: "They can guard against the air force, and there are many paratroopers, so they should not be able to defend against it." ”

"It is also very risky not to find out that the paratroopers were dropped before the deployment of the enemy troops." Lu Bu said: "It can deal with the ordnance of the air force, and it is more effective against the paratroopers, after all, the paratroopers are only in mid-air before they land." If we want to succeed, the best way is to take advantage of the night, our army launched a fierce attack on the enemy, attracting the attention of the enemy troops on the hill, and the paratroopers could be successfully delivered. ”

"The Air Force and the paratroopers were both created by the Marquis of Chu." Xu Shu said: "Before Chu Hou, there was no air force and paratroopers in the world. To use them, only Chu Hou should be the most handy. ”

Lu Bu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and said to everyone: "We have been delayed for many days because of the armor, and Cao Cao has already made arrangements. Lumenting is just Cao Cao's first line of defense, breaking here, there are still many Cao troops waiting for us behind. I still don't want to reveal all the details to Cao Cao too early, so I don't plan to use paratroopers in this raid on the hill. ”

He continued: "Paratroopers, I plan to enter the battlefield when I attack Xudu, and then I can catch Cao Cao off guard." What's more, the paratroopers who have never been put into the battlefield can also protect the palace, so that Cao Cao cannot leave with His Majesty today. ”

"Chu Hou can still take care of His Majesty now, and he is really a big man." Everyone applauded.

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said to them: "As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, of course, you have to think about the Han court. There are countless heroes in the world, and there are not many who can be as loyal to the big man as me. His Majesty has been held hostage by Cao Cao for many years, and now it is time to leave Xudu and become a real emperor. ”

Lu Bu's statement once again won praise from everyone.

In fact, everyone knows very well that even if Liu Xie is really taken away by him, it is impossible to really restore the imperial power.

No one is stupid enough to fight to the death, only to give it to someone else.

If Lu Bu really handed over the military power to Liu Xie, he would be the first to be killed.

After all, no emperor is willing to tolerate the high merits of his courtiers!
