Lu Buxin wandered around the city with the reins, brainstorming and thinking of ways to save himself.

In fact, after two months of siege, Cao Cao, as the besieging party, also had a headache.

Xiapi City could not be attacked for a long time, and the army was stranded in Xuzhou for a long time, Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Yuan Shu in Huainan, Han Sui and Ma Teng in Guanzhong, and Zhang Yang in Hanoi, these princes are staring at the battle situation in Xuzhou at the moment, and it is really difficult to say whether they will take advantage of the chaos to rob Yanzhou.

As a person who came over, Lu Bu knew that except for Zhang Yang, the other princes would not lend a helping hand to him, nor would they attack Yanzhou.

But Cao Cao didn't know about this situation, or Cao Cao only knew the plans of the two or three surrounding princes, and did not know the plans of all the princes.

Cao Cao must be worried, if such a situation really occurs, other princes take the opportunity to attack Xuchang and rob the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be a repeat of the Yanzhou Revolution in the first year of Xingping?

Moreover, the news of Zhang Yang's army from Dongshi had reached Cao Ying at this moment, which aggravated Cao Cao's worries to a certain extent.

Cao Cao was naturally not afraid that Zhang Yang would come to Xuzhou to save the scene, but he was afraid that Zhang Yang would kill Xuchang. With Zhang Yang's current military strength, although it does not pose a fatal threat to Yanzhou, as long as Zhang Yang takes the lead in making trouble and leads the army into Yanzhou, a "broken window effect" will be formed, and the surrounding princes will definitely fall into Yanzhou.

This is exactly what Cao Cao feared.

Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops, but was persuaded by Guo Jia and Xun You.

Guo Jia analyzed: "At this juncture, Ming Gong must grit his teeth and not relax, if Lu Bu is allowed to slow down this breath, it will be more difficult to solve him in the future,"

"At that time, Xiang Yu had more than 70 cities and never lost a battle, but once he lost power, he died and the country died, which was caused by his courage and lack of strategy. Now Lu Bu has lost many battles, and he is exhausted, and he is trapped both inside and outside. Lu Bu's strength and ability are far worse than Xiang Yu, and the current situation is even worse than Xiang Yu at the beginning, if Ming Gong takes advantage of the situation to attack him, he will definitely be able to capture him! ”

Xun You also said: "Since Lu Bu has been in Pengcheng, he has been defeated in even battles, and his spirit has declined. For the three armies, the generals are their backbone, and once the generals' spirit weakens, the army will lose its fighting spirit. Although Chen Gong has some resourcefulness, but now he is trapped in the city, even if he has a good plan, there is nowhere to use it, taking advantage of this good opportunity to trap the enemy in the city, he will definitely be able to take Lu Bu. ”

The two conspirators did not advocate retreating, which strengthened Cao Cao's will to fight.

Although it was decided to fight, Cao Jun could not be consumed in Xuzhou for a long time. First, the situation in Yanzhou did not allow Cao Cao to delay too long in Xuzhou; Second, there was not much grain and grass carried with the army, and it couldn't last long.

In order to break through Xiapi as soon as possible, Xun You and Guo Jia gave Cao Cao an idea to flood the city.

Xiapi City is close to Surabaya, and the river outside the city is crisscrossed, and one section of the city wall is built along a river outside the city.

This natural river channel became a part of the moat of Xiapi City, which saved labor, and secondly, the natural river water volume was more abundant, the water surface was wider, and the city was better protected.

But there are two sides to everything, there is a positive side, and naturally there is a negative side.

On the downside, it is susceptible to water attacks.

As long as Cao Jun built a dam downstream of the river immediately adjacent to the Xiapi city wall to block the river, a dammed lake would be formed, and the amount of water in the dammed lake would reach a certain level, and the water could easily be diverted to the city and spread to the city wall.

The city walls of this period rarely have a whole body of masonry structure, and most of the masonry structures of the city walls are only about a foot high, and the top is a rammed earth wall, which will collapse after a long time if it is soaked in water.

It is this kind of rammed earth structure in Xiapi City.

Of course, Cao Cao hasn't started flooding the city yet, but it should be soon.

Therefore, for Lu Bu, how to resist Cao Cao's offensive after the city is broken is a matter of survival.

The two armies face each other, and no matter what tactics are used, the war will ultimately be decided on the battlefield.

Thinking of these things, Lu Bu didn't realize that the red rabbit horse walked lightly into the courtyard of a mansion.

When he came back to his senses, he found that an extremely beautiful young woman was standing in front of the red rabbit horse with her head down, and while bending down to salute, she said softly: "The abandoned woman Du Shi greets the general..."

"Huh? … Madame excuses, excuses off! ”

Lu Bu hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped Du Shi up, looked at her appearance and figure that was not inferior to Diao Chan, and couldn't help but think of Qin Yilu who was sent to Huainan.

Two months ago, Qin Yilu arrived in Shouchun and stated to Yuan Shu the benefits of "cold lips and cold teeth", hoping that Yuan Shu could send troops to rescue Xuzhou and rescue Lu Bu.

However, due to the fact that Lu Bu had hurt Yuan Shu many times before, Yuan Shu was very angry and was not ready to help Lu Bu. Not only did he not intend to help, but he even dug up a corner.

Yuan Shu saw that Qin Yilu was eloquent, so he married a clan woman from the imperial court to Qin Yilu and kept her as a general.

Qin Yilu gladly accepted, while his ex-wife Du Shi was left in Xiapi and became an abandoned woman.

So the original owner (Lu Bu) arranged the Du family in a separate courtyard and came to take care of it every three or five times.

In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, especially for beautiful women, whose lives are thinner than paper. If it weren't for the earnest care of the original owner, Du Shi would have become a plaything in the hands of others.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the red rabbit horse came to the courtyard where the Du family lived.

Looking at Xia Fei's cheeks, the delicate and sultry Du Shi, Lu Bu was a little embarrassed at the same time.

The Du family is indeed a natural beauty, but this kind of thing that has something to do with the ex-wives of his subordinates will be criticized in this era.

is different from the original owner's style of "wife and concubine, light brother", Lu Bu's character is closer to Liu Bei's style of "brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes", so no matter whether Du is good-looking or not, as long as it is not his wife and concubine, he will not have the idea of non-separation.

But the original owner has slept more than once, and the reputation of "the wife of the Ministry of Love" cannot be washed away, and if the Du family is abandoned after taking the plate, it will be added with a bad reputation of "beginning chaos and ending abandonment".

That's a big one!

Lu Bu waved his hand, politely rejected Du Shi's proposal to invite him to sit inside, and led the horse out of the courtyard.

As soon as he got out of the courtyard, he patted the red rabbit horse lightly on the back and reprimanded: "Next time, you are not allowed to take this general to wander around!" ”

Hearing this, the red rabbit horse snorted, and the two huge horse eyes looked at him innocently, revealing an anthropomorphic puzzled look.

Lu Bu didn't get on the horse, so he led the red rabbit around the city, nodding to everyone he saw and showing a confident smile.

When he met a familiar general, he also clenched his fists and bent his arms, showed them his strong biceps, and told them with body language: Don't panic, with my god of war Lu Bu here, everything will be fine, and Cao Apu will be defeated!

However, every subordinate general who saw him make this action was taken aback, and some of the generals even hurriedly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, thinking that they were going to be beaten, and shouted in horror: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ”

Lu Bu suddenly cried and laughed.

After a short turn, the sky completely darkened.

Lu Bu returned to the mansion, and as soon as he sat down, a beautiful girl in a fiery red dress, holding a cup of tea, walked over with small steps, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Father, please drink tea." ”

It is Lu Lingqi, who is sixteen years old.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at this baby daughter who loved red makeup and arms.
