Hegemony of the Three Kingdoms: I really just want to be Cao Cao's janitor

Chapter 149 Despising the Enemy
The reason why Lu Mou made such a decision was also after careful consideration.

And this decision was also an idea that Wei Zhen brought to himself by burning the grain and grass.

Since it is blocking, there is no need to fight head-on, just contain Liu Bei. Before that, Lu Mou planned to use harassment tactics to slow down Liu Bei's army.

But after Wei Zhen burned the grain and grass, Liu Bei gathered grain and grass in various counties, which brought him inspiration!

Why don't you directly destroy his food and grass, once his soldiers have nothing to eat, then Liu Bei's army will not be able to move.

And his own cavalry is extremely mobile, even if Liu Bei wanted to chase them down, it would be very difficult.

After going back and forth like this, most of the time has been wasted, and Lu Mou's goal has been achieved.

And Lu Mou also despised the enemy strategically, and valued the enemy tactically!

Immediately, they divided their troops into two groups. Xuzhou had a total of six counties. Lu Mou only divided his troops into two groups. Obviously, it was impossible to take care of all of them.

At this time, it is necessary to judge that the county has a lot of food and grass, so as to destroy it quickly, and take it down before they can react!
In this way, the benefits of the action can be maximized.

And returning to the pass before two days is also to intercept Liu Bei finally, these are just to suspend Liu Bei's actions.

For the final interception, Lu Mou set it at the previous pass!
Lu Mou rushed directly to Xiapi with his 1000 people. Xiapi had a lot of food, grass and supplies, which was also Lu Mou's main goal.

The siege of the city is obviously a fantasy. If only 1000 of my own people go to the project, it will undoubtedly be a pity for the elephant and bring about their own destruction.

Even when Cao Cao's [-] troops besieged Lu Bu, if there was no continuous heavy rain, it would be very difficult for Xiapi!

Therefore, Lu Mou decided to ambush on the grain and grass road.

At this moment, Lu Mou found two cavalrymen of Liu Bei, and rushed to Xiapi quickly.

Lu Mou did not intercept them, the cavalry was exactly what Liu Bei wanted for food, and Lu Mou knew that the time had come.

"Everyone wait here!" Lu Mou said to everyone.

Lu Mou guessed that it would not take long for the army escorting food and grass to pass by here.

Therefore, there is no need to leave, just wait here!

At this time, Cao Cao was attacking Pei County, which was very difficult. Pei County was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now the city wall was raised by Lu Bu. This battle was even more difficult!
Cao Cao knew that he had to hurry up, and there was no news from Liu Bei's army. Cao Cao knew that Lu Mou was still holding back.

Every two hours, someone reported to him the situation in Xuzhou.

"My lord, that guy Lu Bu is really too powerful, we only had five or six people to force him back!" Xu Chu said.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. This battle can be said to be the most difficult one he has ever fought!
"How many days of food and grass do we have?" Cao Cao asked.

"We still have ten days' worth of food!"

Food and grass are considered abundant, but keeping them in check will be very bad for them!

"Call Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu over here!"

After a while, the three came in and looked at Cao Cao's face. The three knew that Cao Cao was in a difficult situation now!

"Everyone, I won't talk nonsense. Now everyone has seen the situation. Pei County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If this continues, we will definitely not be able to attack within three days! And Xiaoyi will not last long! "Cao Cao said gloomyly.

"The city wall of Pei County was raised by Lu Bu again, and the height of the ladders we originally prepared was not high enough, so our soldiers could not climb up, and could only be slaughtered by Lu Bu's soldiers! My next suggestion is that the ladders should be raised immediately, and the ladders should be spliced ​​together. , reach the height, then the siege will be much easier!" Guo Jia said.

"Guo Jia is right. This is just one of our shortcomings. It should not be us who are afraid now, but Lu Bu. The reason why he persists is to wait for Liu Bei! Liu Bei is Lu Bu's hope. If Liu Bei does not come , he is more afraid than us, because sooner or later the city will be destroyed by us.

Therefore, I suggest that you release the news that Liu Bei has been stopped by us and will not be able to reach Pei County in a short time. At that time, Lu Bu's army will be disrupted! " Xun Yu said.

At this time, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu quickly said: "The two gentlemen are right, one is attacking the city, the other is attacking the heart, if the two are combined, Lu Bu will surely lose.

Although Lu Bu is brave, he is only one person, but most of his soldiers are cavalry, and cavalry are best at fighting on the plains, they are not good at defending the city, but today they are already defending the city with difficulty, I can't predict In three days, Lu Bu will be defeated! "

"The three are all right. I thought too much before. I have to absolutely believe in Lu Mou. He said that after three days, he will intercept three days. We will make some adjustments tonight and take Pei County tomorrow!" Cao Cao said. Said.

After the three gentlemen had left, Cao Ren came in and said distressedly, "My lord, we lost more than 5000 brothers today!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly.

"It's hateful that we haven't brought back the corpses of our brothers now!" Cao Ren said angrily.

"I see, you go down first!" Cao Cao said calmly.

These [-] corpses were shown by Cao Cao to Lu Bu. This is showing weakness to Lu Bu!

Although they were able to attack by force, the casualties were too great. What would Lu Bu think if he saw these corpses that he had died on the first day?How would Chen Gong think about it?

At this time, Lu Bu looked at the corpses under the city, and said to Chen Gong: "Cao Jun is vulnerable, tomorrow I will go out of the city and kill Cao Cao!"

Chen Gong frowned, looking at the corpses under the city, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Cao Jun's siege of the city today was so powerful that he couldn't hold on to it several times, but he didn't expect Cao Jun's casualties to be so huge.

Is Cao Cao really vulnerable?

"You can't do it first, maybe it's Cao Cao's trick. We have to wait for Liu Bei to come and take Cao Cao down in one fell swoop." Chen Gong stopped.

"Sir, Liu Bei hasn't had any news yet. Is he afraid?" Lu Bu said angrily.

Chen Gong was also very skeptical. It stands to reason that if Liu Bei didn't make it today, he should send someone to send him a message, but until now, there was still no news.

He was also muttering in his heart.

"We are waiting, Liu Bei should not be a dishonest person!" Chen Gong said.

"I think it's the same for waiting, Liu Bei won't come at all!" Lu Bu said.

"If there is no news of Liu Bei tomorrow, we are planning to break through!" Chen Gong said.

"Okay! If Liu Bei doesn't come, when I return to Xuzhou, I must ask this guy why he lied to us!" Lu Bu said angrily.

Chen Gong also nodded. If Liu Bei doesn't come now, the city they conquered before will be in vain. Apart from causing a little trouble to Cao Cao, it will have no effect at all!
