Ma Chao and Lu Bu turned against each other and left angrily, but Lu Bu didn't care at all, and still wanted to break through the defense line of the Jizhou army, but at this time, the offensive of the coalition army had been frustrated, and after Ma Chao left, Lu Bu was naturally not the opponent of Zhang Fan and the other three, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun knew that the general trend had gone, and they also did not contribute to the work, so after a fierce battle for most of the day, Lu Bu could only end gloomily, leading the army back to the Taihang Mountains, waiting for the next day to fight again.

"Damn Ma Mengqi! If it weren't for him, the Jizhou army would have been defeated today! Lu Bu shouted angrily.

"The general can't do that!" Cao Cao hurriedly walked over and said softly: "I have seen everything that happened today, this is obviously the divisive plan of the dog thief in the turmoil, and the general is in charge!" ”

Lu Bu's face changed, he was not an unwise person, and he immediately understood a little, but he was obviously unwilling to admit his mistake, and shouted: "So what? That Ma Mengqi is not a good person, his father Ma Teng seized Xiliang, and I was in a dilemma, this Ma Mengqi boasted of being invincible, and dared to challenge me, these two people will be the second in the chaos in the future, and they should be eliminated as soon as possible! ”

Cao Cao was in a hurry when he heard this, he did have the intention of letting the Xiliang army fight with Lu Bu, but it was not now, so he hurriedly said: "The top priority is to break through Jizhou first, the chaos of this Wen Taowu strategy, better than Ma Teng a hundred times, as long as he can be defeated, where is Xiliang Ma Teng's opponent of the general?" ”

This praise made Lu Bu's face look a lot better, but then it became gloomy again; "The Jizhou army is a rabble, but it occupies a geographical advantage, and there are peerless fierce generals guarding the front, which greatly makes up for its shortcomings.

In the first battle, the coalition army lost three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and what was even more heart-wrenching was that nearly half of the camp was damaged, which made Lu Bu's heart drip blood, and before he was sure of victory, I am afraid that he would hide this army.

Cao Cao couldn't hide his anxiety on his face, the trapped camp was indeed an invincible army, but it could not be fully exerted due to the pressure of the terrain here, if it was a different place, although there were many Jizhou troops, I am afraid it would not be possible to inflict such a terrible blow on it.

"The location is good, in the final analysis, it is the location!" Cao Cao paced back and forth, the current situation was too difficult and dangerous, the Jizhou army firmly grasped the valley pass, and it took too long to detour from other places, which was not a good strategy, so what could I do?

Although the coalition seems to be powerful, it is composed of various princes, just like the original Dong Alliance, each has its own contradictions, as if Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are at odds, Liu Biao and Sun Jian are at odds, and now Ma Chao and Ma Teng are at odds with Lu Bu, I'm afraid nothing will happen in a short time, but if it really drags on for a long time, it's hard to say!

"At this time, the only way to do it is to do it quickly!"

Cao Cao sighed lightly, said goodbye to Lu Bu, and went straight to his own group of advisers to discuss countermeasures.

Guo Jia and other strategists gathered together, such a lineup is shocking, and it is also one of Cao Cao's biggest reliance.

Cheng Yu was the first to speak: "Taking advantage of today's war, I asked people to explore the surrounding terrain, which is full of cliffs and cliffs, and it is difficult to march in a roundabout way, and at the same time, some relatively low places are full of rocks, and it is impossible to go down at all, it is impossible to enter Jizhou from there, and there seems to be only one choice in front of us, that is, to attack!" ”

He didn't say that he would retreat first and then enter Jizhou from another path, this was not that he couldn't think of it, but that he didn't have the advantages to take at all, the army was the first to fight, and if the momentum was strong, it would be a thousand battles, and if the momentum was a thousand miles away, choosing to retreat was tantamount to admitting defeat, the soldiers didn't care if you had other plans, they only knew that in front of them, Cheng Yu was very confident in his own army, but the coalition army was not a family after all, and the soldiers of the other princes would inevitably make mistakes, and once there was chaos at this time, it would be a catastrophe that would never recover. The best case scenario is that the coalition forces are disbanded, where can they still plot against Jizhou?

Cao Cao sighed when he heard this: "The wind and clouds are chaotic in the battle array, and the defense is not leaky, with the current situation of the coalition army, it will take a long time to attack, lest the night be long and dreamy!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly Guo Jia spoke, and he faced Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, can you show me those low places?" ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then led everyone to the side of the mountain road, where it is very rugged, it is difficult to walk the army, only a small army can pass, everyone turned around, and finally came to the place that Cheng Yu said, although it is "low", but it is too high in the mountains, from here it is enough to go down more than ten zhang away, and there are a lot of jagged stones towering out, if the soldiers go down, it is inevitable to bump and bump, and it is difficult to escape the situation of death if it is not good to fall.

Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but sigh and feel deeply disappointed, but they couldn't help but hear Guo Jia chuckle: "This turmoil will definitely fail!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Does Fengxiao have a good plan?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "I don't dare to say anything, but I have my own way to let the army pass through here and attack the rear of the Jizhou army!" ”

Cao Cao had always trusted Guo Jia, and when he heard that he was confident, he didn't ask any more, and hurriedly went back to inform Lu Bu of the matter and informed him that he was ready to send troops.

"What! What happened? Lu Bu was a little unconvinced, he had also explored the surrounding terrain, and had never found a place for passage, with his force, it was naturally unimpeded, but if the army could not move, it was just a delusion, and there was no viability.

Cao Cao nodded, and Lu Bu finally relieved: "Okay, just go and have a look!" ”

Several people came to the place where Guo Jia was, and when they saw this situation, Lu Bu's face couldn't help but sink: "Cao Mengde, are you entertaining me?" ”

Guo Jia smiled when he saw this: "Don't be impatient, general!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves, and an endless frost aura appeared out of thin air, this breath was cold and piercing, as strong as Lu Budu's body, and his eyes looked at Guo Jia in disbelief.

Guo Jia just smiled, the momentum of the whole person suddenly exploded, the frost qi was like a raging wind, blowing straight down, and after a while, in the midst of everyone's stunned, those uplifted mountains and rocks were suddenly covered by frost, and with the extension of time, they actually formed a complete ice surface, smooth as a mirror, and there was no slightest pothole.

"This!" Lu Bu was shocked, and his eyes changed and changed when he looked at Guo Jia, this hand was amazing, representing that Guo Jia's ability had entered the realm, and he was a real peerless warrior!

Peerless national warriors, who are of the same level as the generals of the Tianwu Realm, although they are somewhat inferior in terms of personal combat effectiveness, but when it comes to other aspects, the generals are not as good as the strategists, which is also one of the reasons why Lu Bu will be calculated and defeated by Jia Xu.

Guo Jia smiled again: "The general can send elite soldiers and horses to slide down from this place and make a detour to the rear of the Jizhou army. ”

Lu Bu was already shocked, and immediately said: "But this place is very high, and the casualties of the soldiers who slip down are unpredictable, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "We can first roll down the cotton wool, clothes and even grain and grass from this place, accumulate into a thick layer, and then send elite soldiers down, I think the casualties will not be too big, even if there is an accident, it is within the controllable range!" ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, the possible accidents had already been forgotten by him, there will always be casualties in the war, and the casualties that can be saved in these permits are undoubtedly much smaller than those of a frontal attack, this choice is not difficult to make.

"Haha, good! If I succeed this time, I will take a great credit for you! Lu Bu laughed.

Guo Jia bowed slightly, looking very humble: "Don't dare to be." ”

"Credit must be given! I, Lu Bu, have been all my life, and I have always had clear rewards and punishments! ”

Lu Bu laughed and walked away, and went to gather the soldiers, although there was Guo Jia's clever plan, but the mountains were rugged and difficult to move after all, and the large army could not go up, only those elite soldiers could effectively complete the task, Lu Bu was the first to find Gao Shun and the trap camp, at this time there were only more than 5,000 people in the trap camp, but the combat effectiveness was not weak at all, and it was the best choice to complete the task.

As an assault force, more than 5,000 people were naturally not enough, and Lu Bu began to mobilize men and horses from the armies of other princes, forming an army of hundreds of thousands, ready to give Zhang Fan a surprise attack!

100,000 horses, it is impossible to go down at one time, it must be divided into batches, and it must be secretive, not to be discovered by the Jizhou military sentinels, it will take time, it took three days for these horses to arrive at the destination in turn, and accidents will inevitably occur in the process, and thousands of soldiers will be injured because of this, but this is within the expected range and does not affect the overall situation.

In the past three days, Lu Bu was in a very good mood, every day was just a routine feint, and he didn't move seriously, and his injuries recovered very quickly when he was in a good mood, as long as he didn't fight fiercely, there was no big problem, and he completely recovered his mobility.

Lu Bu's appearance made Zhang Fan suspicious; "The coalition forces seem to be planning something these days, the offensive is not as fierce as before, we should step up our precautions, lest there be fraud!"

The marching army should have been cautious, and the generals had no opinion on this, and the number of patrolling sentries more than doubled, constantly monitoring the movements of the coalition forces and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately, nothing was found.

"Isn't it that Lu Bu and Ma Chao are turning against each other, and the leaders of the coalition are not in harmony?"

This thought only stayed in Zhang Fan's mind for a moment, he couldn't be so stupid and arbitrary, and he had to pay the price!

Zhang Fan just wanted to expand the reconnaissance again, but Lu Bu didn't do it, and news came from the front that the coalition forces had gathered a large force again and rushed in the direction of the valley, looking at the posture, I am afraid that it will be a bloody battle to the end!

"Why did you suddenly choose to launch a furious attack at this time, what went wrong?" Zhang Fan was puzzled, and he was very depressed for no reason, but now was not the time to delay, he could only follow the assembly of the army and prepare to fight!
