Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "I can deal with Lu Bu alone, Dian Wei and Xu Ding, you two will go together, and let Ma Chao know the strength of our Wei State."

The two nodded and said, "The final general will definitely arrest Ma Chao to meet the lord."

After the two left, Cao Shuo ordered: "Bian Xi has been away for three days, and we don't need to rest anymore. The whole army will attack Qixian, Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wuxian. In a few days, take several counties south of Zhaoyuze."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo's army attacked all the counties in the south of Taiyuan in four directions, which made Lu Bu terrified. His current strength is simply not enough to defend all the places.

"Gongtai, what should we do?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong eagerly.

Chen Gong was also very helpless, the opponent didn't play tricks, didn't procrastinate, and directly attacked the county town, even if he had all kinds of abilities, if he didn't have soldiers as a foundation, he couldn't repel Cao Shuo.

"Let Zhang Yang guard Zi's family to the death, and our army will immediately return to aid Bianyang City, and use the Fenshui River as a limit to prevent the other party from crossing the river."

Chen Gong wanted Lu Bu to give up all the territory in the southeast of Fenshui, and use his superior force to prevent Cao Shuo from attacking Jinyang.

Cao Shuo's siege equipment is too overbearing. If it is to defend the river bank, their siege equipment will not be used, and it will delay them for a while.

As for persuading him to surrender, Chen Gong didn't think he would say it, and let Lu Bu feel it for himself. When he felt that he really couldn't beat Cao Shuo, he would naturally give up.

Lu Bu accepted Chen Gong's opinion and led an army of 1 to rush back to Jinyang. He left [-] horses in Pingtao and Daling each, and asked them to build camps on the bank to prevent Cao Shuo's troops from crossing the river.

As soon as Lu Bu arrived in Bianyang City, scouts sent news that Cao Shuo's army had captured several counties and was marching towards Yangyi.

Jia Kui suggested: "My lord, if Yangyi falls, the whole of Fenshui and the east will fall into Cao Shuo's hands, and Yangcheng and Yuci must not be lost. If one is captured, Cao Shuo's army can reach Jinyang directly."

Lu Bu looked at the map. The distance between the two cities and Jinyang is the same, but Yuci is more dangerous. The cave is just a small river. If it is a dry season, soldiers can cross the river directly.

"I'll guard Yuci, and Hao Meng will guard Bianyang City."

After Lu Bu gave orders to his subordinates, he returned to his residence, intending to speak to his wives before leaving.

When Lu Wen's biological mother, Yan Shi, saw Lu Bu come back, she asked eagerly, "My lord, how is the war going?"

"Just do your part, it's not something you should worry about."

Lv Bu's tone made Yan frowned, she heard some clues from Lv Bu's words, and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, there are rumors in the city today that Wei is powerful, and our son-in-law Cao Shuo is very brave... "

"Shut up!" Lu Bu looked angry, what kind of son-in-law...

Have I admitted that he is the son-in-law?
Powerful?It just depends on the number of people. If the difference between the soldiers of the two sides is not too big, then he has the confidence to defeat Cao Shuo.

Lu Bu left Yan's residence angrily. He still had several concubines. Since Yan's anger made him unhappy, he had no choice but to go elsewhere.

However, Lu Bu changed several concubines in a row. They were all talking about the rumors in the city, and some even persuaded him to surrender. Angrily, Lu Bu left the mansion directly.

The so-called out of sight and out of mind, when leading the soldiers to Yuci, Chen Gong found Lu Bu.

"Gongtai, what's the matter?" Seeing Chen Gong's eager expression, Lu Bu hurriedly asked.

"My lord, have you heard the rumors in the city? This is very detrimental to our army. If someone secretly joins Cao Shuo and lets Cao Shuo's army in, then all our deployment will be useless."

After Chen Gong returned home, almost all his servants were discussing this matter. He also heard such rumors on the street. It was obvious that Cao Shuo wanted to surrender without fighting.

Lu Bu said angrily, "Who is spreading the news? Gongtai, go and find out quickly."

Chen Gong nodded, and rushed to the barracks to mobilize soldiers. However, on the way to Yuci, Lu Bu found his soldiers muttering behind their backs, and his face darkened.

"What are you doing?"

Several lieutenants hesitated and didn't dare to look directly at Lu Bu. Angrily, Lu Bu put the newly made Fang Tian painting halberd on a man's head, and the man hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord, brothers are all rumors, Wei The strength of the country is strong and invincible, we, we should surrender earlier."

Lu Bu shouted loudly: "Anyone who talks about this to me again will be shot to death."

The soldiers hurriedly shut up, lest they lose their lives because of such a trivial matter, and when they have the opportunity, just swim across the river and surrender directly, there is no need to be serious with Lu Bu here.

When Lu Bu entered Yuci City, he was even more annoyed. The whole city was spreading the news. When he entered the city, no one came to welcome him. It was really disgusting.

Lu Bu called a lieutenant general and said: "From now on, anyone who spreads any news that is not good for our army will be regarded as a spy and destroy the nine clans!"

"Go to the city immediately and post the notices all over the city!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Lu Bu picked up a jug of wine and began to drink wildly.

The hateful Cao Shuo didn't dare to do it with real swords and guns, so he would use some small tricks.

As long as you dare to attack Yuci, I will let you know that my soldiers of Lu Bu are by no means weaker than you.

"Report, my lord is not well. Cao Shuo's army has entered the chiseled platform, facing our army across the river."
