Chapter 752 - Let Not Give Credit
When Lu Bu came to Pengcheng, it was almost midnight, and Sima Yi was leading the soldiers of the Cao army to clean up the battlefield.
"Zhongda!" Seeing Sima Yi, Lu Bu shouted.
was commanding the soldiers to take care of the battlefield, Sima Yi heard the shout and looked over.
Seeing that it was Lu Bu, he hurriedly stepped forward.
He hugged his fists and saluted Lu Bu, and Sima Yi beckoned, "General Lu is here." β
"Finished fighting?" After returning the salute, looking at the soldiers of the Cao Army who were busy, Lu Bu asked.
"Without the main general, what are they capable of?" Sima Yi said: "I thought that the enemy army would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that they would be defeated without even an hour. β
"It's all old and weak, where will there be any combat effectiveness." Lu Bu said: "When I came, I also saw Zhang Fei on the road, and I killed him for a while, but unfortunately I didn't cut off the black head of that guy." β
"General Lu is brave, and sooner or later he will be able to take Zhang Fei's head." Sima Yi said: "Zhang Fei was ordered to stop our army, although this battle was defeated, he would definitely refuse to withdraw to Xiapi, and he would lead his soldiers and horses to obstruct in the middle of the road." β
"It doesn't matter if he obstructs it or not." Lu Bu said: "It's really not him who I want to kill, but Liu Xuande's shameless villain." β
"Liu Xuande put a general at the white gate, so that Cao Gong moved his murderous thoughts." Sima Yi said: "If it weren't for the prince's arguments, the general would have been in the past for a long time. β
With a sigh, Lu Bu said: "Pity me for treating Liu Xuande's family well, and even sent someone to send his family to Xudu. β
"Gongzi once told me that if we get Liu Xuande's family, we must not be able to send them back." Sima Yi said: "What women want is stability, since Liu Xuande can't give them stability, the son will be kind and give her family to Cao Gong." β
"Cao Gong?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Zirong is really eccentric. Cao Gong used to be polite to Liu Xuande's family, just because he wanted to use him. Now that he has betrayed Xu Du, with Cao Gong's interest in other people's wives, once he sends people away, he is afraid that he will be pampered that night. β
"That's no wonder our son-in-law." Sima Yi said with a smile: "He likes to throw away his family members many times, and his son is kind and refuses to kill people easily, of course he has to find a good place for them." It's just that in Liu Xuande's place, they can still be called Mrs., if they are given to Cao Gong......"
Lu Bu and Sima Yi looked at each other and smiled at each other.
"We have repelled Zhang Fei, what should we do next?" Lu Bu asked.
"Did Childe come to Xuzhou?" Sima Yi did not answer, but asked Lu Bu rhetorically.
"It's coming!" Lu Bu said: "Set off a little later than me, this meeting should have bypassed Xu County and is on the way to the next Pi." β
"Earlier, the scout reported that Liu Bei had divided the soldiers and horses into three." Sima Yi said: "Zhang Fei led 20,000 people to Pengcheng, and now it has been broken by us. Guan Yunchang led 10,000 troops into Xu County, and Liu Bei personally led 30,000 troops to sit in Xiapi. General Lu brought these soldiers and horses, and there were not many people around Gongzi, so if he didn't respond, he would always be reassuring. β
"I will lead the troops to respond, and Zhongda will stay in Pengcheng." Lu Bu said.
"Not busy!" Sima Yi said: "It's not clear what the son's deployment is, and he will do it when he arrives in Xuzhou." The general still led his troops into the city first, and although Pengcheng was slaughtered by Cao Gong, there was still some grain and grass left in the city, which was enough for the soldiers to rest. β
"It's good!" Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "After a fight, the soldiers are indeed a little tired. The wounded soldiers also need to be treated, so they will go to the city and wait for the prince to come nearby. β
The siege of Pengcheng took only one day before it was lifted by LΓΌ Bu and Sima Yi.
Led the troops into Xuzhou, Cao Shuo bypassed Xu County, which was guarded by Guan Yu, and rushed all the way to Xiapi.
The path he chose was not directed towards Xiapi, but slightly deviated from the direction of Pengcheng.
As he was walking, a fast horse came ahead.
When he arrived, the knight clenched his fists and said, "Gongzi Qiyu, General Lu repelled Zhang Fei, and General Sima defeated the besieging enemy in Pengcheng, and Pengcheng has been relieved." β
"So fast?" Cao Shuo asked, "Where is Zhang Fei now?" β
"After being defeated by General Lu, he did not withdraw to Xiapi, but recalled the scattered soldiers and horses everywhere, and tried to intercept our army on the way from Pengcheng to Xiapi." The scout replied.
Cao Shuo waved his hand and motioned for the scout to step back.
He asked Zhao Yun and the others: "Zhang Fei has a lot of men under his command, and our army is inferior in numbers, how do you think we can defeat Liu Bei before he comes?" β
"How can the general of the defeated army be brave!" Chen Zhi said: "Broken by General Lu, Zhang Fei is now demoralized, although there are still a lot of soldiers and horses, but it is just an empty shelf, killing him can completely defeat him." β
"Uncle Zhi is right." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Although the number of our army is not as large as theirs, all of them are elite. Looking at a rusty broken knife with a sharp war knife, the result can be imagined. β
"Pass my orders!" Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji: "The whole army will speed up its march and destroy Zhang Fei before crossing the Waste Yellow River!" β
"Childe has an order, the whole army will speed up the march and destroy Zhang Fei!" Cai Ji rode his horse to the back of the team, and while galloping, he loudly conveyed Cao Shuo's order.
"After following Childe for so long, I found that the number of times our army seems to have an advantage in numbers is not very much." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "However, every time you fight, you can always win more with less and defeat the enemy!" β
Cao Shuo replied with a smile: "If every time you fight, you can only win by relying on a large number of people, and you can lead the troops by any person, what do you want me to do in person?" The purpose of establishing the two battalions of Flying Bear and Dragon Pattern was to blossom from the middle and turn the situation on the battlefield when surrounded by enemies! β
"Childe." Cao Shuo mentioned the two camps of Flying Bear and Dragon Pattern, Gao Shun said: "I have a reluctant request, and I also ask Gongzi to allow it!" β
Cao Shuo said: "General Gao, please speak!" β
"The two battalions of Flying Bear and Dragon Pattern are all warriors of a hundred battles." Gao Shun said: "They have gone through several wars, and the soldiers have been skilled in coordinating with each other. β
"Knowing that persimmons are soft, General Gao can't help but pinch them!" Cao Shuo laughed and asked Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun, "Two generals, are you willing to give him the credit?" β
"The credit is right in front of you, how can you let it?" Chen Zhi said: "When I see Zhang Fei, let's ride the dragon pattern first." β
"The Flying Bear Camp is also ready." Zhao Yun said: "When the prince gives an order, the soldiers will definitely kill to the death." β
The two refused to give up the credit, Gao Shun said: "The two generals don't dare to do this, the soldiers under your command have made countless achievements, and my broken camp has not made the slightest achievement!" β
