Lü Bu's bravery frightened the Cao army outside the city.

When all the generals of the Cao army saw that Lu Bu jumped from the city and almost took Cao Xiu's life, they thought to themselves one by one that if they were replaced by them, they might not have the courage to do so.

Even if he has the courage of Lu Bu, I am afraid that he is not so good at martial arts, and he can kill back and forth in the army and calmly return to the city wall.

Looking at the city wall of Xuzhou, Cao Cao raised an arm.

Seeing him raise his arm, the soldiers standing behind him hurriedly waved the order flag and conveyed the order to withdraw the troops.

With a burst of squandering, Cao's army, which had attacked the city wall for a day, finally retreated.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the retreating Cao Jun like a tide, Lu Bu let out a long sigh.

For several days in a row, under the fierce attack of Cao's army, there were already many places on the city wall where the defenses were loosened.

If this trend continues, Cao's army will be able to break through the Xuzhou city wall after more than ten days.

"Warm wait!" Looking at Cao Jun, who was receding like a tide under the city, Chen Gong's voice came from behind Lu Bu.

Since he re-climbed the city wall, Lu Bu has been avoiding Chen Gong, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to chase after him, so he had to turn around, smile at Chen Gong and ask, "What's the matter with Gongtai?" ”

"There are tens of thousands of Cao troops under the city, and it is really unthinkable to wait for the city to jump out of the city wall!" Sure enough, as soon as Chen Gong opened his mouth, he said that Lu Bu was not considerate.

In the face of Chen Gong's reproach, although Lu Bu had the intention to refute, he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had to stay silent with a smile.

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't speak, Chen Gong walked to his side, looked at Cao Jun outside the city, sighed and said: "Just think about it again, if there is no Wen Hou to jump out of the city to fight, I am afraid that Xuzhou will not last a few days." ”

As soon as Chen Gong said this, Lu Bu felt a little confused.

Looking at Chen Gong, he didn't know what Chen Gong wanted to say for a while.

"After waiting for this battle, I think that within a few days after coming and going, Cao Jun will not have much movement!" Although he didn't look at Lu Bu, Chen Gong knew that the expression on his face at this time must be extremely strange, and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou can find an appropriate time to lead the light cavalry out of the city, and take advantage of Xiao Pei's emptiness to take Xiao Pei down in one fell swoop!" ”

"Take back Xiaopei?" Chen Gong said that he wanted him to recapture Xiaopei, Lu Bu became more and more confused, and hurriedly said: "The Cao army surrounds Xuzhou based on Xiaopei, even if Xiaopei does not have many defenders, the number is definitely not less than our army, how to take it down?" ”

"Wen Hou can pretend to be Cao Jun!" Turning his head to look at Lu Bu, Chen Gong said to him with a very solemn face: "Whether Xuzhou can hold it depends on whether Wen Hou can take Xiaopei!" ”

"Huainan Yuan Shu is quite jealous of Cao Jun, and our army is controlled everywhere, so Yuan Shu does not dare to send troops easily!" Staring at Lu Bu, Chen Gong continued: "If Wen Hou captures Xiaopei in one fell swoop, Yuan Shu will see that our army is strong, and he will definitely send troops and horses to attack Cao Cao from the north and south with our army. Once Huainan sends troops, this battle can be decided! ”

Chen Gong still wants to join forces with Huainan Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao, Lu Bu twisted his chin with one hand, and muttered for a moment before saying to Chen Gong: "Then Yuan Shu claimed the emperor without authorization, and he was already an enemy of the world, if he joined forces with him, he ...... with it."

"Right now, near Xuzhou, only Yuan Shu can still fight with Cao Jun!" Knowing that Lu Bu was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, Chen Gong hurriedly interrupted him and said: "Yuan Shu is called emperor, Wen Hou does not need to be a vassal to him, wait until Cao Cao is defeated, and then wave his troops south to crusade against Yuan Shu!" ”

Pinching his chin and muttering for a moment, Lu Bu nodded and said to Chen Gong: "As soon as Gongtai said this, a certain party suddenly opened!" Recently, I found an opportunity to lead an army out of the city to raid Xiaopei! ”

Chen Gong designed to ask Lu Bu to lead the army to raid Xiaopei, and in Cao Cao's military camp, Cao Cao was also sitting in the commander's tent with a group of staff members discussing how to deal with Lu Bu.

"Everyone sees it today, that Lu Bu is already beyond ordinary people!" Looking around at the generals and staff sitting in the tent, Cao Cao said to everyone: "Our army has been storming Xuzhou for several days, and everyone thinks that what should be done to break the city?" ”

Cao Cao asked about the way to defeat Lu Bu, and there was silence in the tent, and no one could answer his question.

Including Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other fierce generals, all the generals of the Cao army secretly thought to themselves after watching the scene of Lu Bu jumping off the city wall, if they were allowed to jump off the city wall, I am afraid that they would not be able to kill the enemy army at all, and then calmly return to the city.

As for the staff, there is no good proposal except for intercepting the Xuzhou military grain road.

Looking around at everyone, Cao Cao's brows gradually twisted.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion came and Cao Cao sent troops, his staff has never been as silent as today.

Cao Cao knew that the reason why all the staff did not speak was because they were all shocked by Lu Bu's bravery.

If this sentiment was allowed to spread, Lü Bu would not have to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and Cao's attack on Xuzhou would have ended in failure.

"Ming Gong!" Finally, Cao Cao waited for someone to speak, and it was none other than Guo Jia, whom he currently relied on the most.

"Could it be that Feng Xiao has a plan?" Guo Jia opened his mouth to speak, and Cao Cao was suddenly happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked him.

Sitting in the tent, he bowed to Cao Cao with his fists clenched, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "There is no plan to break through Xuzhou for the time being, but there is another plan, which can frustrate Lu Bu's spirit!" ”

Guo Jia said that he had a plan to frustrate Lu Bu's spirit, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked him: "What is the plan of Fengxiao?" Speak up! ”

"Today, Lu Bu showed his might outside the city, and the morale of the Xuzhou army will definitely be boosted!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "On the contrary, the soldiers of our army are to deter Lu Bu, even if they forcibly attack the city, the effect will be very small!" ”

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao and everyone in the tent couldn't stop nodding.

Even the generals who are not convinced by anyone on weekdays are full of admiration when they mention Lu Bu.

In this battle, Lu Bu really suppressed the morale of the Cao army to the lowest point, and the morale of the Xuzhou army, which was already declining, rose to the extreme because of Lu Bu's battle.

When Guo Jia spoke, everyone in the tent looked at him, and no one interjected to interrupt him.

After looking around at the crowd, Guo Jia's eyes finally fell on Cao Cao's face, and said to Cao Cao: "Our army is based on Xiaopei, if the Xuzhou army does not recapture Xiaopei, Xuzhou is just a lonely city, and it will not last long." If it was Chen Gong, he would definitely suggest that Lu Bu take advantage of the situation to recapture Xiao Pei! ”

"Take back Xiaopei?" Guo Jia said this, and Xiahou Yuan, who had been listening to him in the tent, sneered, interrupted his words and said: "Our army is really not many garrisons in Xiaopei City now, but there are not many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City, with Lu Bu's current strength, I am afraid that attacking Xiaopei will not happen overnight!" ”

"What if Lu Bu pretends to be our army?" As soon as Xiahou Yuan's words fell, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said to Cao Cao: "If Lu Bu wants to break through Xiaopei in one day, there is only one way, and that is to pretend to be our army to go to Xiaopei to supervise the grain!" ”

"Huh?" Knowing from Guo Jia that Lu Bu was going to Xiaopei under the guise of the grain supervision team, Cao Cao's brows tightened, and he asked Guo Jia: "In this way, our army will tighten the siege of Xuzhou, and not a single Xuzhou soldier will be released!" ”

"Don't do that!" As soon as Cao Cao said that he would step up the siege of Xuzhou, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "If Xuzhou is besieged to the death, Lu Bu will not be able to get out of the city, and our army will not be able to enter the city!" Although the grain and grass in Xuzhou City do not know how long it can be supported, the soldiers and horses in the city are not as large as our army. The consumption of grain and grass is far more than that of our army! ”

"Since you can't besiege the city, why do you have to let Lu Bu out of the city?" Frowning slightly, looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked a little blankly.

"Exactly!" To the surprise of Cao Cao and everyone in the tent, Guo Jia really admitted that he wanted to release Lu Bu out of the city.

"Never!" As soon as Guo Jia said his intention to release Lu Bu out of the city, Liu Bei, who was now in front of Cao Cao's tent, stood up and said loudly: "Then Lu Bu is brave, if he is released from the city, what if he leads the army to raid the Chinese army?" ”

"Raid on the Chinese army?" Turning his head to look at Liu Bei, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth pulled up a touch of disdain, and said to Liu Bei: "Make you worry too much!" Although Lu Bu is brave, the Ming Gongzhong army is guarded by tigers and leopards, and Lu Bu can't be defeated! ”

was robbed by Guo Jia, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and had the heart to continue to refute, but he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while.

"Lu Bu is not a stupid person, Chen Gong is even more resourceful!" Looking at Cao Cao again, Guo Jia continued: "Knowing that they can't break through our army, they definitely won't spend more time here!" The only way to get out of town is to go to Xiaopei. ”

"When Lu Bu goes to Xiaopei, our army should step up the siege!" This time it was not Guo Jia who spoke, but Cheng Yu.

When Guo Jia explained the reason why Lu Bu would go out of the city, Cheng Yu kept frowning tightly, thinking about every word Guo Jia said.

When Liu Bei proposed that Lu Bu might attack Cao Yingzhong's army, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally figured out what Guo Jia wanted to do, so he quickly took over Guo Jia's words.

When Cheng Yu took over the conversation, Guo Jia stopped elaborating and turned his head to look at Cheng Yu.

After glancing at Guo Jia, Cheng Yu stood up, clasped his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Qi Cao Gong, although it is difficult to exterminate Lu Bu with the plan of the military advisor sacrificing wine, it can greatly damage Xuzhou's vitality, which is really a good plan!" ”

Cheng Yu also praised Guo Jia's plan as a good plan, Cao Cao frowned, and he was also trying to think about the clues, and finally Cao Cao slapped his forehead, and said to Guo Jia with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Although Fengxiao's plan cannot break Xuzhou, it is a strategy to make Xuzhou chaotic, it is really a good plan!" ”

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu both saw Guo Jia's plan one after another, and some of the staff members quickly understood, and suddenly had a look of sudden realization.

It's just that the generals who led the army to fight looked at everyone with a sudden look on their faces, and looked at Cao Cao and the others in amazement, and they still didn't understand what the benefits of releasing Lu Bu out of the city were.
