Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 124
"My Zhang Liang also."

This is Cao Cao's evaluation of Xun Yu.

Zhang Liang is the chief counselor of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He is best at strategizing and winning thousands of miles.

So far Cao Cao has commented on Xun Yu, one can imagine how much he values ​​him.

And Xun Yu has never let him down.

Just like last time, when everyone was desperate and even wanted to join Yuan Shao, Xun Yu's words only allowed Cao Jun, who was about to collapse, to quickly recover its strength in Runan.

This time, although Cheng Yu said that if he defended the camp, Lu Bu's army would fail.

However, Cao Cao knew very well that if Lu Bu insisted on attacking the battalion, it would not be so easy to let the [-] troops attack across the board and defend.

After all, this is just a built camp, surrounded by wooden fences, and there is no solid city wall.

If the tide-like [-] army really comes back, can those wooden fences really stop it?
At this moment, Cao Cao really hoped that Xun Yu could exert his strength again and come up with a clever plan like a stroke of magic to solve the problem in front of him.

"Wen Ruo, can you defeat the enemy with a good plan?"

Xun Yu, who had been hanging his head, was woken up. He raised his head and looked at the desire in Cao Cao's eyes. He sighed secretly and shook his head, "No."

Hearing Xun Yu's answer, Cao Cao was extremely disappointed, and asked tentatively, "Wen Ruo, is there nothing you can do?"

Xun Yu arched his hands, "If there is a solution, then the solution is to withdraw the troops. There is no other way."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard these words, and Xiahou Dun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Wen Ruo, our army still has [-] soldiers and horses, and although Lu Bu's army has [-], they are all mobs. force?"

Xun Yu shook his head, "General Xiahou, this is a plain, the battlefield where Lu Bu's army is best at.

If Lu Bu's army is small, our army can still win by siege.

However, the number of Lu Bu's army far exceeds ours. As long as the Bingzhou iron cavalry breaks through the army camp, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses will continue to pour in and forcefully separate us.

At that time, our army will inevitably be in turmoil, and sooner or later it will collapse. "

Cao Cao made up his mind, "If you defend the camp, you have no chance?"

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Although Lu Bu's army is a mob, most of our army's strength is also newly recruited remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Although the combat power is slightly better, the difference is not much."

Xun Yu didn't directly say who will win and who will lose, but his meaning is already very obvious. It is very difficult to hold the camp!
Hearing this, Cheng Yu frowned and snorted coldly, "Xun Wenruo, although most of the recruits in our army are remnants of the Yellow Turbans, they are all characters who have been on the battlefield. How can it be that they have never touched those weapons? The people are comparable!"

Having said that, Cheng Yu turned around and bowed to Cao Cao, "My lord, as long as our soldiers use their lives, they will definitely be able to block the attack of Lu Bu's army. As long as we persist for ten days, Lu Bu's army will definitely be defeated."

Having said that, Cheng Yu paused, looked at the hesitation in Cao Cao's eyes, and said again.

"My lord, as long as our army wins this time, Lu Bu's army will no longer be able to fight. It will be easy to take back Yanzhou."

When Cao Cao heard the last words, his heart moved immediately, he turned his head to look at the crowd, and asked slowly.

"Guys, can you suggest something?"

Thinking of the surprise attack by Lu Bu, Cao Ren snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth, "Since there is a possibility of winning, we must not lose this opportunity."

General Xu Chu, who had recently surrendered, looked at the hesitation of the crowd, and felt a little disdainful in his heart. He strode forward and said with cupped hands.

"The last general also thinks it's time to fight."

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and asked tentatively, "Why should we fight?"

Xu Chu cupped his hands and said, "Master, when you are at home, if you encounter a disobedient cow, you must subdue it, so that it will be obedient.

Otherwise, this disobedient cow will be even more hateful when it sees you pushing you every time. "

Although Xu Chu's metaphor was neither fish nor fowl, it made Cao Cao feel relieved and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, that's right. If a cow is disobedient, you should subdue it so that it will become obedient."

Hearing this, Cheng Yu was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Xu Zhongkang's analogy is right. Lu Bu is that cow. If you don't subdue him, he will never be obedient."

Cao Cao nodded, with a serious face, and said slowly, "Since this is the case, pass on the order, and everyone will take turns to defend the perimeter of the camp. Don't let Lu Bujun take advantage of the loopholes."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao stood up and shouted loudly, "Ten days, as long as our army persists for ten days, victory will belong to us. At that time, everyone will be rewarded."

"Thank you my lord"

……

Lu Bu's camp.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

"Marquis Wen, that's great. With so many people coming to support us, our army will surely win, haha!"

Seeing everyone's smiling faces, Lu Bu frowned slightly and asked slowly.

"Everyone, although there are many more people, but can you find a way to defeat the enemy?"

Cheng Lian hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, this is not easy. Our army now has 8 people. Let's attack Cao Jun's camp together. This battle will undoubtedly be won."

Hearing Cheng Lian's suggestion, Lu Bu shook his head dissatisfied, then turned to look at Chen Gong.

"Gongtai, do you have a good plan?"

Hearing the question, Chen Gong smiled wryly in his heart. He could tell that Lu Bu didn't want to waste too many people attacking Cao Jun's camp.

But if you don't fight, how can you win?

Could it be that Cao Mengde can be allowed to surrender on his own initiative?

Just as Chen Gong was thinking about how to persuade Lu Bu, footsteps came from outside the big tent.

"Report to Marquis Wen, Marquis Zhang Jun said that he has something urgent to see."

Hearing this name, Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, and for a moment, he didn't even remember who this Zhang Junhou was.

However, since he said something urgent, Lu Bu also wanted to hear what urgent matter he had!

"Let him in."

Soon, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted.

"This subordinate has met Marquis Wen."

Although Cheng Lian was reckless, he had a good memory. When he saw this man, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's you?"

After saying this, Cheng Lian turned his head to look at Lu Bu, "Wen Hou, do you still remember that we captured a lot of prisoners in the Battle of Puyang?"

Zhang Junhou hastily cupped his hands, "I report to Wenhou, I am one of the captives, and now I have joined Wenhou's command, and I have become a military lord thanks to my perseverance."

Lu Bu nodded and asked slowly, "Zhang Junhou, you said you have something important to say, what is it?"

Zhang Junhou cupped his hands again, and said respectfully, "I want to report to Marquis Wen, my subordinates are from Qingzhou. They were originally coerced by the Yellow Turban Army. They joined Cao Jun together with everyone, and now they have taken refuge in Marquis Wen."

Cheng Lian frowned his two thick eyebrows, "Zhang Junhou, if you have something important to say, hurry up, don't talk about those useless things."
