Chapter 660 establishes goals
According to the normal situation, if someone like Lu Bu was secretly spying on him, it wouldn't take long for him to find out.
But this time, he didn't feel that he was being watched.
One of the main reasons for this is because the place where they walk has always been in the central part of Jizhou, where there are many villages and cities.
There are all kinds of people here every day, and if you don't deliberately distinguish carefully, you can't tell which one is an ordinary person and which one is a Jizhou sergeant.
Moreover, in order to hide people's eyes, Lu Bu and Chen Gong also specially made up their team into a caravan.
In the consciousness of the two of them, there were men and women in their team, and it was very easy to avoid the interrogation of the Jizhou army in the name of the caravan.
It's a pity that they didn't know that as soon as they entered Jizhou, they were discovered by Liu Yuan's subordinates.
The reason why they went extremely smoothly on this road was also because the Jizhou army was secretly releasing water.
If they go on like this all the way, then it is very likely that they will arrive in Qingzhou directly and safely, and there will be no conflict with the Jizhou army at all.
But things often don't go so smoothly, and just when they were two or three days away from leaving Jizhou, they found a problem that gave them a headache.
That is, they have little food left, except for the fact that Lu Bu's family can eat a full meal, the rest of the sergeants, including Lu Bu and Chen Gong, will go hungry from now on.
Originally, Lu Bu's idea was to settle first, after all, they were in enemy territory at this time, and it was not easy to get enough food for nearly a thousand people to eat for three days.
Unless they dare to attack the towns or cities along the way, there is absolutely no place where they can get so much food at once.
But if they dare to attack the villages and towns along the way, then their true identities will be immediately revealed.
In this way, the Jizhou army will soon swarm from all directions and surround them.
But when Lu Bu told Chen Gong what he thought, Chen Gong didn't think so.
Although he also knew that it was very dangerous to attack the township, he had to think about it more.
Now they still have two or three days to leave Jizhou, and if they can't replenish food within these two or three days, then their combat effectiveness will plummet.
In case their identities are accidentally exposed in the past two or three days, once a battle occurs, then they will be easily wiped out by the Jizhou army.
And even if they can go all the way to the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou without being detected by the Jizhou army, they still need to fight when they get there.
Because Jizhou has always regarded Qingzhou Cao Cao as their main enemy.
On the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou, both sides have arranged a large number of elites to guard it, and there is no loophole that can be exploited.
When they arrived at the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou, they were already so hungry that they were about to lose their combat effectiveness completely, so what would they do to break through the blockade of the Jizhou army.
He had already calculated this when he chose to take this path before.
At that time, he thought that as long as they could touch the Qinghai-Hebei border unconsciously, they could directly hit the Jizhou border defenders by surprise at that time.
According to their combat effectiveness and Lu Bu's strong strength, as long as they can hit the other party by surprise, the other party will definitely not be able to react in a short time.
By the time the other party mobilized a large army to come, they had already fled to the depths of Qingzhou with Lu Bu's family, and they would not give the Jizhou army any chance at all!
But all this is based on the fact that they can preserve their combat effectiveness, and now due to some minor problems on the road, they are not carrying enough food.
In this way, they have no capital at all, to assault the Jizhou border defenders, can they still hope that the Cao army of Qingzhou will take the initiative to come to the rescue?
And now they want to go to Cao Cao, it's just wishful thinking on their side.
Although Chen Gong was more than ninety percent sure, Cao Cao would definitely accept their surrender.
But there is still a chance that Cao Cao is not willing to accept them at all, and if that happens, they must have enough self-protection ability.
Once they go to Cao Cao in a desperate way, even the first two levels can be successfully passed.
In case Cao Cao turned his face and wanted to take them down, how could such an army that had not been able to eat for several days be able to ensure their safety?
Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Gong vetoed Lu Bu's opinion, and he believed that they must grab enough food in Jizhou.
At the very least, they must be able to hold out until a month later, so that even if Cao Cao does not accept their surrender, they will have the ability to take refuge in other princes!
After listening to Chen Gong's opinion, Lu Bu also fell into silence, he knew that Chen Gong's worries were not unreasonable, and now their situation was indeed like this.
Although they felt very good about themselves, they were not really that important to powerful princes like Liu Yuan or Cao Cao.
Therefore, every step they take now, they must have enough back hands, in case things develop beyond their expectations, they must also have a certain ability to protect themselves!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu nodded and agreed with Chen Gong's opinion, and the two immediately took action after reaching an agreement, and Lu Bu went to arrange people to reconnoiter the surrounding villages and towns in Jizhou.
Chen Gong went to inform Lu Bu's family and told them to immediately abandon the carriage they had been riding in and instead ride the spare horses in their ranks.
In this way, as soon as the operation on Lu Bu's side is over, they can immediately evacuate as quickly as possible.
Even if the Jizhou military responds quickly, then the safety of these female dependents can be preserved to the greatest extent.
When several of Lu Bu's wives learned that Lu Bu and Chen Gong were ready to take the initiative to provoke the Jizhou army, they were all frightened at that time.
They know too well how powerful the Jizhou army is, and they were only a few generals in Jizhou before, and they defeated the invincible husband in their hearts!
Now their husbands are going to provoke each other in the hinterland of Jizhou.
If anything goes wrong, then this time there is a good chance that all of them will die in this strange land.
Although they are very eager to persuade their husbands to give up this idea.
But they also know that their husbands love them very much on weekdays, but they will never listen to any of their opinions on the battlefield.
Therefore, several ladies of Lu Bu could only give up this idea, so they obeyed Chen Gong's arrangement, gave up the comfortable carriage, and rode on horses that they were not familiar with.
At any time, the sun was slowly setting, and Lu Bu's side had made all the preparations, and their target tonight was a village less than thirty miles east of them!
