Liu Bei?

Lu Bu's expression moved, as if he was in despair, and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

"Liu Bei? You mean, that big-eared Liu Bei who weaves mats and sells shoes? Lu Bu's tone and words seemed to reveal a bit of contempt.

Gao Shun said: "Although this Liu Xuande is from an ordinary background, he is known as a benevolent and righteous person, and he has never had any grievances with the lord, if the lord is attached to this person, he will definitely take us in." ”

"Benevolence?" Lu Bu stood up, savoring these two words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a sneer, and muttered: "Very good, I like people who talk about benevolence and righteousness the most, this kind of person is much easier to deal with than treacherous people like Su Zhe and Cao Cao." ”

Lu Bu thought in his heart that he would go to Liu Bei, who would definitely be burdened by the name of benevolence and righteousness and had to accept him.

As long as he can occupy a corner of Xuzhou, he will be able to quietly recruit troops and regain his strength, just wait for the time to be ripe, and steal Liu Bei's Xuzhou, it is not impossible.

If he can get Xuzhou, he will become a prince who holds a state again, and then he will make a comeback and enter the Central Plains, are you afraid that he will not be able to take revenge on Su Zhe.

Lu Bu's expression finally regained his cold and domineering arrogance, waved his hand happily, and laughed: "Okay, Gao Shun, you woke up Benhou with a word, okay, let's go to that big-eared Liu Xuande." ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Bu had regained his fighting spirit.

At this time, Lu Bu shouted generously: "Pass the order to the soldiers, tonight Benhou allowed them to sack Chengyang City, whether it is the common people, or the rich and powerful, they can scavenge as much money as they want, whoever they fancy will be the eldest girl, whatever they like, Benhou will reward them for their lawlessness tonight, and they can do whatever they want!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on the left and right were all ecstatic.

Gao Shun was taken aback, and he was busy trying to persuade him.

"Pepin, you don't need to say it, I know you want to persuade." Lu Bu raised his hand and stopped Gao Shun, "These two thousand my brothers, can still follow me when my Lu Bu is in disarray, how can I not reward him heavily, besides, Ben Hou has to rely on these two groups of men and horses to follow, if you don't reward them well, how can you collect their hearts, let them be grateful to Dade, and swear to follow Ben Hou to the death." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shun's words of persuasion were pushed back, so he had to close his mouth and say more.

When the order was laid, the 2,000 remnants of the defeated army immediately rejoiced and thundered, and like hungry beasts, they rushed out of the barracks and pounced on the people of Chengyang City.

For a moment, the cries, pleadings, screams, mixed with the mad laughter of the beasts, echoed over the city.

Tonight's Chengyang City has become a hell on earth.

……

East of Puyang City, Zhencheng.

More than 30,000 Cao troops entered the city two days ago, rested for two days, and were ready to open again and go straight to Puyang.

In the hall of the county government, Cao Cao had already copied his admiration and was ready to lead the Wenchen generals out of the palace.

"Report ~~ Puyang Urgent Report!"

Just then, a scout hurried into the hall and delivered the latest urgent news.

Behind Cao Cao, a hint of foreboding suddenly swelled up.

He took the piece of information, opened it and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but change, and his eyes swelled with surprise.

The strategists and generals on the left and right, seeing Cao Cao's face change, were all nervous, knowing that something bad must have happened.

"Lord, how is Puyang?" Cheng Yu asked hurriedly.

"Lu Bu has been defeated, and Su Zhe's kid has broken through Puyang." Cao Cao sighed helplessly and showed the information in his hand to the generals.

Everyone was taken aback, and all of them looked horrified, as if their ears had broken and they had heard it wrong.

Cheng Yu was anxious to take over the silk book information, and all his subordinates hurriedly surrounded him, and the information really stated that Puyang City had been broken, and how Su Zhe broke the city was written in detail and clearly.

"Then Su Zhe, he even saw through Chen Gong's strategy of deception?" Cheng Yu was shocked and looked incredulous.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "I didn't see any signs of rebellion in Chen Gong back then, but Su Zhe saw the true face of Chen Gong clearly, just from this point of view, I am not as good as him." ”

In the lobby, there was a lot of excitement for a while, and the previous high morale was also hit by this unexpected shock.

"Meng De, since Puyang City has been broken, then Su Zhe has become a waiter, do we still want to continue to attack Puyang City?" Cao Ren couldn't help but ask.

Cao Cao was silent for a while.

Cao Hong said proudly: "Of course we continue to attack Puyang, we finally returned to Yanzhou, and recovered several counties one after another. ”

As soon as Cao Hong called for battle, the rest of the generals such as Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Le Jin also generously asked for battle.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu stroked his short beard and said: "What General Zilian said is all reasonable, although Su Zhe captured Puyang City so quickly and disrupted our overall plan, but according to the current situation, this is still the best time for us to take back Yanzhou." Otherwise, if we retreat to Qingzhou, and when Su Zhe has gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, it will be extremely difficult for us to recapture Yanzhou. ”

Listening to his words, Cao Cao couldn't help nodding his head, thinking deeply.

"What you said is right, how can the meat in the mouth be easily spit out, this is not my Cao Cao's style, the remote place in Qingzhou, I don't want to go back, or this is the Central Plains that extends in all directions, and I like it the most."

Cao Cao's words also showed that he did not intend to withdraw from the army.

Cao Ren said: "Since this is the case, then we should march quickly, and take advantage of the fact that Su Zhe has just captured Puyang City and the soldiers are still tired, and capture Puyang in one go." ”

"No!"

Cao Ren's voice fell, and Cheng Yu shook his head and denied, "Su Zhe was able to capture Puyang, most of it was due to strategy, not to attack, so Su Zhe won very easily, and the soldiers did not go through hard fighting, and they would be tired if they did not see their mental and physical strength." ”

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, our army has been killing all the way from Qingzhou, traveling hundreds of miles a day, although the soldiers have not fought any hard battles, and their physical strength has been consumed a lot, if they rush to Puyang now, they will be treated by Su Zhe for work." ”

"If you don't do it quickly, what else can you do?" Cao Ren asked rhetorically: "Su Zhe's soldiers and horses are comparable to ours, once they let them pacify Puyang City, we will form a confrontation with him, but he has Jingzhou, a rich state, behind him, but we only have barren Qingzhou to rely on, to fight a protracted war, we can't consume Su Zhe." ”

Cheng Yu was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of any good way.

Cao Cao scratched his hair with his fingertips and sighed: "It would be good if Xun Wenruo was here, maybe he could give me a foolproof solution." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers outside the hall hurriedly entered, and arched their hands: "My lord, there is a drunkard outside, who claims to be recommended by Mr. Wen Ruo, and he has to clamo to see the lord." ”
