Chapter 221: Lu Bu is defeated and retreats
"Haha, Lu Bu, you've been tricked." In the darkness, Cao Cao's voice came from afar.
"Hmph, Cao Mengde, don't be rampant, you can't trap me." Lu Bu kept swinging his halberd to shoot down the arrows that were shooting at him, and said to Cao Cao.
After the rain of arrows, Lu Bu glanced at the soldiers who were really being forced by the arrows, and he didn't know how many people were shot and fell to the ground.
Seeing all this, Lu Bu wanted to drip blood in his heart, these were the elites who followed him to fight in the south and the north, and fought thousands of miles, and now they were slaughtered by Cao Cao.
Lu Bu felt a lot of pain in his heart, and he couldn't care about the purpose of this trip, so he shouted directly: "Break through, as long as you break out of the camp, you can live!" β
Seeing that Cao Cao had already prepared, LΓΌ Bu was timid and planned to withdraw from the camp and withdraw his troops back to the city.
Where would Cao Cao let Lu Bu go easily, seeing that Lu Bu wanted to withdraw his troops and leave, he immediately waved his hand and said: "The whole army covers up and kills, and pursues and kills for ten miles." β
"No!" Cao Cao's soldiers agreed in unison.
Cao Cao's camp was quite a distance away from the Peixian city wall, but only foot soldiers were left under his men, and all the war horses were transferred to Xiahoudun, so even if they had the intention to pursue and kill Lu Bu, they were not able to chase after them.
The distance of ten miles was in the blink of an eye, and the Wei army's cover-up basically failed to leave many soldiers of the Lu State, but this ambush broke Lu Bu's idea of defeating Cao Cao.
Returning to Pei County, Lu Bu was also a little embarrassed, the crown on his head was crooked, his hair was scattered, and he counted the casualties, and even lost more than 3,000 people.
When Chen Gong in the city got the news, he immediately came to meet Lu Bu, and when he saw Lu Bu's appearance, he knew that the casualties were not small, so he persuaded Lu Bu to calm his anger for the time being, and then go to the Wei army camp after dawn to fight.
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, who kept dissuading him, waved his hand angrily and said: "Ben will know, tomorrow the four gates of Pei County will be closed, Ben will go to Feng County to rescue Cao Xing, and this will be handed over to you." β
Chen Gong, who heard Lu Bu's decision, suddenly shouted: "No, Feng Xian must not leave Pei County, and Feng County must not be saved." β
Lu Bu stared at Chen Gong suddenly, stared at him and said, "Why not, do you know that Cao Xing has been fighting with me for ten years, and now he is besieged in Feng County, do you want me to watch him die?" β
Chen Gong explained: "Feng Xian misunderstood what I meant, it's not that I can't save him when I see death, it's just that General Cao Xing has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if Feng County can't hold it, it shouldn't be difficult to break through, besides, if this is Cao Cao's plan, Feng Xian just fell into Cao Cao's plan, so it's better for Feng Xian to wait for General Cao Xing's news in the city." β
"Then just watching Cao Xuan being surrounded in Feng County, and seeing death or not?" Lu Bu still didn't give Chen Gong a good face, and he was still very concerned about the subordinates who followed him in the southern and northern wars.
Not only Lu Bu, but even the soldiers around him now were staring at Chen Gong with an unkind expression, and the anger in their eyes was obvious.
Lu Bu didn't wait for Chen Gong to reply, so he said directly: "This matter is so decided, early tomorrow morning, General Ben will personally go to Feng County to rescue Cao Xing, and the defense of Pei County will be handled by you." β
The reason why Cao Xing was in Feng County was because he gave an order, Cao Cao's 100,000 army came, and it was impossible for him to trap Pei County, so Cao Xing was transferred to Feng County in advance, and Pei County became horns with each other.
"Feng Xian......" Chen Gong just shouted, but saw that Lu Bu had already strode towards the city, leaving him alone on the street.
"Alas......" Chen Gong sighed, Cao Cao was obviously adjusting the tiger to leave the mountain, but he had the right grasp of Lu Bu's temperament, so even if he persuaded again, it had no effect.
"But I'm not going to make you happy." Chen Gong looked at the direction of Cao Cao's camp outside the city, and his eyes gradually became firm.
At this moment, in the camp of Xiahoudun in Feng County, Xiahoudun was sitting in front of the handsome case, listening to the scout's report on the latest developments in Feng County.
"What's the matter, Cao Xuan has already sent someone to Pei County?" Xiahoudun looked at the scout expressionlessly and asked.
"Yes, General." The scout hesitated, "But they don't seem to be there to ask for help. β
"What did you say?" Xiahou Xuan's remaining eyes widened, and at this moment, there were only 30,000 soldiers and horses left around Cao Cao, and they were all foot soldiers, if they were attacked by Lu Bu's cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Back to the general, this is the news that the lowly people got from the mouths of the enemy troops who want to break through, and there will be no falsehood." Scout said.
Xiahoudun sat up suddenly, but he sat down, with his understanding of Xi Zhicai, he would definitely not put Cao Cao in such a dangerous situation, but he was still not at ease, and immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army quickly marched and rushed back to Peixian." β
At the same time, Xiahoudun touched his blindfold, looked at Feng County, and snorted coldly: "This time, I will spare your life first, and the next battle will definitely take your head to avenge this arrow." β
At the same time, in Cao Cao's camp, Lu Bu was retreated, and Cao Cao and a group of civil and military officers were sitting in the tent to discuss the next strategy.
Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, will Lu Bu really rescue Cao Xing in Feng County tomorrow?" β
Xi Zhicai said: "King Hui, according to the information transmitted by Li Ru, the reason why this Cao Xing is in Feng County was arranged by Lu Bu personally, with Lu Bu's character, Cao Xing was surrounded, and he would definitely personally lead the troops to Feng County." β
"But that Chen Palace is not easy to deal with." Cao Cao still felt very sorry for Chen Gong, as his former subordinate, Cao Cao still knew a lot about Chen Gong's talents, if he hadn't planned for Lu Bu, he might have subdued Lu Bu a long time ago.
Even in the Lu State, with the plan of the Chen Palace, Lu Bu was able to occupy half of the country in the Lu State, and there was a faint tendency to fight against Liu Bei, the king of Lu.
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "If the king is worried about Chen Gong, there is no need. β
"Why?" He knew Xi Zhicai and knew that he was not an arrogant person, so when he heard his words, he was just a little puzzled about the reason why Xi Zhicai said this.
Xi Zhicai explained: "The king, since Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou, he has been against the king everywhere, but his intentions are too obvious, so every step of the plan, the ministers can spy on him, and it is very simple to make a response to him." β
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that in Xi Zhicai's heart, Chen Gong was so easy to deal with, but it didn't seem to be helpful for taking Peixian.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Zhicai said again: "And Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu may not be able to listen to them. β
Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, Chen Gong and Lu Bu's concepts are very different, and Lu Bu is not easy to listen to other people's opinions, so if Lu Bu is bent on rescuing Cao Xing, Chen Gong really can't say anything about Lu Bu.
