As soon as Cao Ren rode back to the camp of Huifeng Pavilion with the tiger and leopard, he began to write a letter of guilt to Cao Cao before he had time to remove his armor, asking Cao Cao to send another general to lead the camp. As soon as he engaged the Lu army this time, Cao Ren suffered heavy losses, and he continued to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry without shame. The tiger and leopard cavalry is the most important force in Yanzhou, the most powerful cavalry in the world, once there is a battle loss, it will be supplemented by hundreds of people, and he did not kill a few Lu soldiers in a battle, but the losses are unprecedentedly heavy, and the loss of so many people at once, how many hundred people in the Cao soldiers will be able to replenish?

Cao Cao received a quick letter from Cao Ren, first called Cheng Yu and Guo Jia, and ordered the soldiers who were marching to rest in place before solemnly opening the bamboo slips.

Seeing Cao Ren's defeat, the loss of more than 1,000 tigers and leopards is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, he is not ready for the loss of such a force in the tiger and leopard cavalry, after Lu Bu went out of Xiapi, Cao Cao found that his head wind attack was more and more frequent, and he hated and feared Lu Bu in his heart, and there was not much grain and grass in sight, and Xuzhou had never been rich under Lu Bu's care, so that Cao Cao was very disgusted with Lu Bu while disdainful, and there was not much grain and grass in the hands of the people.

Cao Cao learned wisely, whenever a letter came, he would first call Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, and two strategists would help analyze it, which would appropriately alleviate the pain caused by mood swings.

"Lu Bu, this thief is really insidious! Kill more than 1,000 tiger generals, and I am angry! Cao Cao thumped his chest hard and scolded loudly.

"Prime Minister, soldiers are not tired of cheating, but I didn't expect Lu Bu to be able to break my tiger and leopard ride so skillfully, it's really clever." Cheng Yu suddenly lost his voice and said: "Isn't that the prime minister's painstaking efforts to build the Tiger and Leopard Ride can no longer come in handy?" ”

Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu finish speaking, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. For the sake of this tiger and leopard horse, he tried his best, disguised as soldiers to dig graves and rob the family, but in the end he was useless, he couldn't stand the blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Prime Minister... Prime minister! Quickly pass on the military doctor..."Cheng Yu secretly regretted that he shouldn't talk nonsense.

I saw the prodigal son-like Guo Jia laughing on the side: "If the prime minister's illness is not well healed, why waste your efforts." ”

"You prank, the prime minister is restless, you are still leisurely on the side, quickly help the prime minister to sit down." While helping Cao Cao to sit on the back of the soldier who was crawling on the ground, he shouted at Cao Cao's personal guards:

"Quickly build a pergola for the prime minister to cool off."

"Don't be so troublesome, the prime minister's illness can't be cured by others, I can cure it." Guo Jia stopped Cheng Yu and said, how can the army be delayed on the road for too long.

"What's the trick of Bonghyo?" Cao Cao heard Guo Jia say that there was a way, the blood stopped vomiting, and his head didn't hurt anymore, and he was pleasantly surprised.

"Since Lu Bu used such indiscriminate means, we can also retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, he used a nail to nail my horse's hooves, and we can wrap a layer of iron under the horse's hooves, so that Lu Bu can't nail through the horse's hooves, isn't it?"

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan! I have Guo Fengxiao, you can sit back and relax. Cao Cao praised Guo Jia without hesitation, and then began to arrange:

"Ordered Cao Zixiao to make iron sheets to wrap the horse's hooves overnight, and ordered him to atone for his sins." Cao Cao's meaning was clear, and Cao Ren continued to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Whoa."

Seeing the herald go away, Cao Cao turned around and asked, "Is there any news that Lu Bu's family is exchanged for Pengcheng?" ”

Le Jin took a bamboo slip and said to Cao Cao: "The last general just received a messenger sent by Che Zhou, and he didn't dare to disturb when he saw that the prime minister was discussing military aircraft. ”

Cao Cao took the bamboo slip handed by Le Jin, unfolded it and saw that as expected, Zhang Chang, who sent Lu Bu's camp, was almost beheaded, as expected, it was impossible for Lu Bu to exchange Pengcheng for his family, and no one would ignore the great cause for his family.

"I didn't expect Lu Bu to be a little literate." When Cao Cao saw the end, he couldn't help but praise it, and read it aloud: "Ask what the world is like, and teach people to live and die." Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I didn't expect Lu Fengxian to be an affectionate seed, I thought he was a ruthless and unrighteous villain who didn't recognize his six relatives. ”

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister." Cheng Yu listened to Cao Cao chant after Lu Bu wrote words without words, poems without poems, repeated silently in his heart several times, bent over and said.

"Where does the joy come from?"

"The Prime Minister's soldiers don't need to arrive in Xiapi to get Pengcheng!"

"Are you saying that Lu Bu will exchange Pengcheng for his family? Why is that? ”

"I'm afraid that in Lu Bu's eyes, the family is more important than Pengcheng, and the family is more important than the great cause, otherwise why spoil the woman and ignore Chen Gongtai's clever plan. In the end, because he listened to the woman's words and stubbornly guarded Xiapi, he was defeated. There may not be a second time, so Yu thought that Lu Bu would finally compromise before Chen Deng returned to Xiapi, and he would not watch his wife and concubine die tragically. ”

"I'm afraid that Lu Bu is unwilling, and he will inevitably jump off the wall in a hurry and fight back when he is dying. The prime minister can order Che Zhou to guard the city carefully, General Cao Zixiao paid close attention to the movements of LΓΌ soldiers, once the city was attacked, it was defeated in one fell swoop, as long as LΓΌ Bu's attack was defeated, Pengcheng was in the prime minister's pocket. ”

"Where will Lu Bu go next if he loses Peng Cheng?"

"I heard that Mi Fang joined him, maybe he went to Xiaopei, or he may have gone south to join Yuan Shu before my army arrived, or he may have gone north to join Yuan Shao." Cheng Yu said everything he could think of.

"Why not Lu Guo?" Cao Cao said the doubts in his heart, the state of Lu was under the rule of Zhang Liao, although Cao Cao divided his troops to attack, but the troops were limited, and there were still two county towns under Zhang Liao.

"The country of Lu borders Yanzhou, and Lu Bu's soldiers are outnumbered, and the soldiers of Lu are seeking their own death."

"It's a pity that Xun Gongda has returned to Xuchang to garrison." Cao Cao said worriedly.

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia heard Cao Cao mention Xun You, and the two of them were ashamed. Cheng Yu is good at evil schemes, and Guo Jia is good at the overall situation and strategy. Xun You's strategy and overall situation may be inferior to Guo Jia, but he is the best at being flexible and changeable, and defeating the enemy's tactics in battle, if he is there at this time, Cao Cao believes that he will not be so exhausted by Lu Bu, Cao Cao thought in his heart that if Lu Bu gave up Pengcheng, he would retreat back to Xuchang.

Things went much smoother than he imagined, Lu Bu swept away the haze of the past few days, let go of the big stone in his heart, the only thing he needed to do now was to drag, in order to pretend to be thoughtful, Lu Bu hung a war-free card outside the camp, and refused to scold Cao Ren who had come to the whole army many times.

Even promised to teach Zhang Hu's superb martial arts, Lu Bu was bored and had no intention of teaching.

For two days, Lu Bu closed the big tent and refused visitors.

Just when Lu Bu was sleeping soundly, the voice of the guard sounded outside the tent:

"General, General Zhang Liao of Pengcheng has sent a messenger, and he is waiting outside the camp."

"Ask him to come in."

When he saw someone coming, Lu Bu asked in surprise, "How are things?" ”

The messenger who came was none other than the soldier who went to Yanzhou to deliver a letter to Zang Ba: "Back to the general, General Zang Ba is leading a large army to return for reinforcements, I don't know when it will arrive, I think it will only take three or four days to arrive in Changlu, or it may be faster." ”

"Why is that?"

"When the last general returned, I didn't know where the general was, first crossed Wenshui and then crossed Surabaya to Lu I heard that the general was outside Xiapi City, and then the last general went to Xiapi, and then heard that the general arrived in Pengcheng, and made a detour back and forth several times, although General Zang was marching with a large army, it couldn't be slowed down for a few days."

"It's hard work, you should have been left in the barracks for a day to rest, but the situation is urgent, you immediately go to Changlu, go to Yanzhou along Changlu to find General Zang, let him garrison Lu State, and forcibly collect the food of the family in Lu State, the more the better, if there is resistance, there will be no forgiveness." Lu Bu didn't know which road Zang Ba was taking, although he decided to meet in Changlu some time ago, the final route of the march must be temporarily arranged by Zang Ba, otherwise he was blocked by Cao Cao in the middle of the road and ambushed.

Since he chose to meet in Lu State, Lu Bu of course collected the grain of Lu Country as much as possible, and then burned it with fire. Cao Cao saw that he exchanged Pengcheng for his family, and went to Lu to collect grain and grass, he must have thought that he wanted to use Lu to fight against him, when he chased Lu State, most of the grain and grass were burned by himself, and then chased south from Lu State to Guangling, thousands of miles away, to see what his army ate, once the grain and grass were gone, even if there was a million army Lu Bu would not be afraid of him.

As for burning grain and grass, will it affect oneself to win the hearts of the local people? Oh, after a few days, the people's heart value can't even buy food, it seems that he has not received the support of the people at all, and he can only support himself when the people feel that they are really in the future.

Looking at the soldier's dusty appearance, Lu Bu stopped him:

"What's your name? What is the original position? ”

"The last general is Cai Yuancai, a commoner of the state, who used to serve as a centurion in the camp under General Gao's account."

"The contribution to Yanzhou is indispensable, General Ben promoted you to the subordinate Sima, and he will return to General Gao to take up his post in the future." The ordinary soldiers who can stand out in the trapping camp rely on their accumulated combat exploits, and now that the trapped camp exists in name only, Lu Bu tried his best to build the core of the trapped camp first, and when he arrived in Guangling, he selected the most skilled and brave soldiers from among the soldiers to come out for training.

"Thank you for the general's promotion, the last general will repay the general's kindness."

"Okay, okay, time is pressing, don't make a big salute, this is what you deserve, go down and eat a full meal and go on the road."

"Whoa."

After Cai Yuancai left, Lu Bu instructed again: "Go and invite Zhang Hu to come." ”

Zhang Hu and Gao Chao fought against Zhu Ling two days ago, Lu Bu saw it clearly, and when they were forced to a dead end by Zhu Ling, it stimulated their blood and courage, and it was not easy to escape from the long-famous generals, so Lu Bu praised them a lot, Lu Bu planned to encourage them to be confident first, and then slowly cultivate.

"What did my uncle call me for?" Zhang Hu first stretched out his head and arched into the big tent, looking very afraid of Lu Bu's appearance.

"I have a message for your father, would you?"

After Zhang Hu heard what Lu Bu said, he thought that he could go to see his father immediately, and said happily: "Yes, yes." ”

"Let your father and Chen Gongtai take care of everything and prepare to evacuate Pengcheng and go to Lu State. At this time, the stakes are very high, and you must dress up in disguise to avoid being caught by Cao Bing. ”

Lu Bu only told Zhang Hu ambiguously that he would not disclose the specific things, lest he really be caught by Cao Bing, who was lurking somewhere, and revealed the plan, and the previous arrangements were all in vain.

"I'll save it." After Zhang Hu finished speaking, he rushed out of the big tent and went to tell his mother the news.

Lu Bu arranged to stop, first messed up his hair, and then tried his best to make himself embarrassed in front of the bronze mirror, making it look like he had been weighing gains and losses for days, and then dragged his tired body to the outside of the big tent.

As soon as they came out of the big tent, Mi Fang and Zheng Kai greeted them: "What is the lord thinking about?" ”

"Order all the soldiers and horses, and I'll take Xiapi in one go."

Mi Fang saw that Lu Bu's expression was very decisive, like a gambler making a last stand, he and Zheng Kai glanced at each other, bowed down and said:

"Whoa."
