Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 183 Helpless Choice
In Cao Jun's large tent, the atmosphere was warm and everyone was smiling.

"Haha, that's great, Chen Ji's army has been defeated!"

"Now Yuan Shu's South Route Army only has Lei Bo's troops left, haha."

"My lord, please ask the last general to lead a team of troops to attack Lei Bo's camp."

"My lord, the last general is also willing to go."

Cao Cao watched the generals enthusiastically challenge the battle, and nodded with a big smile.

"Now there is only Lei Bo left in the Southern Route Army. Send an order to launch an attack on Lei Bo's camp early tomorrow morning. This time, we must completely defeat it."

"As ordered!"

All the generals surrendered one after another, and at this moment, a voice came from the crowd.

"Wait a minute!"

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look, and it was Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's valued counselor, who walked out of the crowd.

Cao Cao smiled all over his face, "Zhongde, why stop him?"

Cheng Yu clasped his hands, "Although our army won consecutive victories and defeated the two armies of the Southern Route Army in one fell swoop, we also lost a lot of troops.

Lei Bo's camp was heavily guarded. If he wanted to attack by force, he might lose a lot of soldiers and horses. Even if he won, the gain would not be worth the loss. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded secretly!
When they came out to fight this time, they brought a total of 15000 soldiers and horses. After repeated battles, more than 3000 people were lost, and now only 12000 are left.

After these few days of observation, Cao Cao did find that Lei Bo had some ability to set up the camp extremely strong, and placed a lot of antlers around it, and even dug a lot of trenches beside the fence to prevent Cao's army from attacking.

If a strong attack is used to attack Lei Bo's camp, it will definitely cost a lot of losses. What's more, the number of soldiers and horses on both sides is about the same.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao nodded, and asked tentatively, "Zhongde, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, although Lei Bo has some abilities, what he relies on is nothing more than the army from the South Road coming to rescue and then defeating our army.

But now Yuan Shujun's South Route Army has been defeated by our army, and he wants to wait for reinforcements. Unless he waits for Zhang Xun to come to solve it, it will be absolutely difficult to get out of trouble. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu suddenly sneered, "But, will Zhang Xun give up attacking Pengcheng and lead troops to rescue?"

Hearing this, Lu Qian said with a smile, "If Zhang Xun dares to bring troops here, General Cao in Pengcheng will definitely take the opportunity to send troops. Even if Zhang Xun cannot be defeated, it will still give him a headache and prevent him from coming to rescue smoothly. "

Hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded, "That's right, it's not that easy for Zhang Xun to come to the rescue.

I believe Lei Bo is also very clear about this point, so when he knew that the two soldiers and horses on the South Road had been wiped out, what do you think he would beat me up for? "

Hearing this, Lu Qian said with a smile, "Since we can't beat us, Lei Bo must have found a way to escape."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he turned to look at Cheng Yu, and said with a smile, "Zhongde, what do you mean?"

Cheng Yu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "That's right, we deliberately released the news to let Lei Bo know that the two troops on the South Road have been wiped out by us. When the time comes, he knows that he is invincible, so he will definitely abandon the camp and want to escape. , rushed to join Zhang Xun.

And while he is running away, our army can chase him all the way and defeat him in one fell swoop. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "Zhongde, you're right, as long as Lei Bo orders to retreat, the army will be in a state of confusion. Our army will go to pursue it. If we want to win easily, we won't lose too many troops. .”

Cheng Yu nodded, "Not only will there be no losses, but if my predictions are correct, many of Lei Bo's troops will surely surrender when they see our army pursuing them. At that time, not only will we not lose any troops, but we will also strengthen them." With our strength, we can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Zhongde, this skill is really brilliant. Back then, the overlord of Chu was besieged by all sides and fled in a hurry. Zhongde's trick was enough to recruit a beauty from all sides. It is really rare, haha!"

Hearing this, a smile flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your praise, my lord!"

……

Lei Bo's camp.

"what?"

Lei Bo stood up abruptly and asked loudly, "You said that the troops of General Chen and General Le have all been defeated?"

The soldier nodded, "Early this morning, Cao Jun sent someone to shout, saying that General Chen and General Le's soldiers and horses have all been defeated, and advised us to surrender as soon as possible."

Snapped!
"hateful!"

Lei Bo roared angrily, slapped his palm on the table, and then sneered, "Cao Mengde, it's ridiculous that you want to use such a small trick to confuse our army."

"Pass down the order and tell everyone to strictly defend. This is Cao Mengde's trick, and it must not be taken seriously."

"As ordered!"

The soldier hurriedly cupped his hands, turned and left in a hurry.

When the soldiers left, Deputy General Qian Jun frowned and said slowly, "General Lei, do you think this is true or not?"

Lei Bo snorted coldly, "General Qian, don't you think you can do it too?"

Having said that, Lei Bo waved his hand vigorously, "General Qian, General Chen and General Le put together a total of 3 troops!
Cao Mengde's soldiers and horses visited our army. How easy is it to be ashamed of [-] soldiers and horses in such a short period of time? "

Qian Jun nodded, but his brows were still frowning tightly, "But, based on the time, even if General Chen can't come, General Le's troops should have arrived, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Lei Bo was also secretly shocked.

He has a good relationship with Lejiu, and he also believes that Lejiu knows that he is trapped and will definitely lead troops to rescue him.

But it’s been so long, even if the speed is too slow, we should arrive in time!

Is it?

A bad thought suddenly rose in Lei Bo's heart.

Impossible, no matter how strong Cao Mengde is, he can't defeat the two armies in such a short time.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the big tent, and a voice sounded.

"General Lei, there is an urgent military situation."

As the voice fell, Lei Bo's guards walked in with two distressed soldiers.

The eyes of the two were terrified, their faces were pale, and their clothes were already torn. When they saw Lei Bo, they hurriedly cupped their hands and said in a trembling voice.

"General Lei, something is wrong. General He's troops were ambushed and defeated. We escaped by fleeing into the mountains. We were worried that General Lei would not know about it, so we rushed to report."

Lei Bo's face changed, he stared at the two soldiers with wide eyes, and suddenly sneered, "You are Cao Jun's secret agent, here to spread rumors and disturb our army's morale."

The two soldiers trembled in fright, and fell to their knees with a thud, "Really, everything we said is true, not a single word of falsehood."

Lei Bo snorted coldly, and yelled outside the door, "Come here, chop up these two secret agents, so as not to disturb our army's morale."

"Forgive me!"

Two soldiers risked their lives to report the news, thinking that they would be rewarded, but who knew that what they were waiting for was a big knife.

"General Lei, please forgive me!"

Lei Bo ignored it and shouted, "Hurry up and do it."

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers rushed in, captured the two of them, and pushed them outside the Dazhang.

"what!"

"what!"

"General Qi, it has been resolved!"

Lei Bo nodded, then waved his hand, "Understood, you guys go out."

When the soldiers walked out of the big tent, Qian Jun, whose face was a little pale, hurried forward and said in a low voice, "General Lei, these two people don't seem to be working carefully, they seem to be General Le's people."

Lei Bo suddenly sighed, "I know, they belong to General Le."

Hearing this, Qian Jun was startled, "General Lei, since you know, why do you still do this?"

Lei Bo turned his head to look outside the big tent, and said slowly, "If the lieutenant generals know that General Le's troops have been defeated, it will definitely cause disturbances in the army.

Now is the time to confront Cao Jun. Once the morale of the army is unstable, I am afraid our army will be defeated! "

Hearing these words, Qian Jun sighed and suddenly understood Lei Bo's thoughts.

If all the soldiers in the army know that there will be no more reinforcements, the consequences will be disastrous.

Qian Jun gritted his teeth, "General Lei, even if General Le's army is defeated, we can wait for General Chen's army."

Lei Bo waved his hands, and suddenly gave a wry smile, "General Qian, don't you understand?"

Having said this, Lei Bo sighed, and without waiting for Qian Jun to answer, he spoke slowly.

"Cao Jun and our army have been fighting here for so long, but they didn't attack the camp. Why?"

Hearing this, Qian Jun was taken aback immediately, and said in a trembling voice, "General Lei, did they do this on purpose!"

Lei Bo nodded, "If I'm not wrong, they left us on purpose, just wanting the Yinnan South Route Army to come to our rescue and eliminate them one by one."

Hearing this, Qian Jun's face changed, "General Lei, in this way, General Chen's troops are probably in danger."

Lei Bo nodded, "The news that came just now is probably true. Cao Jun has already defeated the troops of General Le and General Chen. The next step is probably to deal with us."

Qian Jun turned pale, "General Lei, what should I do?"

Lei Bo snorted suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "For now, the only way is to stick to the camp and wait for reinforcements."

Hearing this, Qian Jun was taken aback, "But General Chen and General Le have already been defeated, so where are the reinforcements?"

Speaking of this, Qian Jun's expression changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Since the South Route Army can no longer come to the rescue, why don't we leave the camp and join General Zhang?"

"no!"

Regarding Qian Jun's proposal, Lei Bo resolutely rejected it. After all, he is a famous general in Huainan, so he knew the stakes.

"General Qian, if our army leaves the camp, we will have no strength to rely on, and we will definitely lose!
Therefore, our army can only stick to it, and must not leave the camp. "

Qian Jun also understood Lei Bo's intentions, sighed, and said with a wry smile, "I hope General Zhang will come to rescue him after he knows the news."

……

Lei Bo knew very well that with the defense of the camp, even if Cao Jun wanted to win, it would not be so easy!

However, although Lei Bo knew it very well, the soldiers of Yuan Shujun did not know this.

Cao Jun kept sending people to shout, telling them that Lejiu and Chen Ji's soldiers and horses had been defeated, and they had no more reinforcements.

At first, Yuan Shujun's soldiers didn't believe it, thinking they were being lied to.

However, Cao Jun presented evidence to convince them, and only then did they know that there were really no reinforcements.

When these soldiers knew that there was no reinforcements, they immediately became flustered. It didn't take long for the entire camp to be enveloped in a chaotic mood.

Although Lei Bo knew this, he was helpless.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Lei Bo beheaded some people who talked about it, but it didn't help. Although everyone didn't talk about it publicly, they talked more secretly.

Moreover, Lei Bo beheaded some people, which further proved that the matter was true. This move not only did not stabilize the morale of the soldiers, but made the soldiers even more flustered.

Lei Bo was in the big tent of the Chinese army, frowning, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

At this moment, Qian Jun ran away in a hurry, "General Lei, it's not good, 38 soldiers guarding the camp in the south escaped."

"what?"

Lei Bo was taken aback immediately, "You said some soldiers escaped?"

Qian Jun nodded hastily, "Although there are only 38 people, the influence is very bad. I'm worried that more people will escape."

Speaking of this, Qian Jun sighed, "Cao Jun didn't attack, so he loudly publicized outside the camp, saying that we have no reinforcements, and we will definitely lose, and let the soldiers surrender. Don't look into the past. If this continues, I'm afraid they will run away." There will be more people."

Hearing these words, cold sweat gradually broke out on Lei Bo's forehead.

He knew that it would not be so easy for Cao Jun to break through the camp, but he never expected that the soldiers didn't think so much. They only knew the danger, and choosing to save their lives was the most important thing.

Seeing that Lei Bo was silent, Qian Jun asked hurriedly, "General Lei, think of a way, if you don't think of a way, it will be too late."

Lei Bo didn't speak, but frowned tightly, but he was thinking quickly in his heart, how to solve the matter in front of him.

Qian Jun sighed, "General Lei, there is no other way to think about. Now the army's morale is in disarray. Even if Cao's army doesn't attack the camp, I'm afraid our army will be defeated."

At this point, Qian Jun paused, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "General Lei, the matter has come to this, I am afraid we have only one way to leave the camp sooner."

Lei Bo listened to Qian Jun's words, but he hesitated in his heart. He knew that the consequence of leaving the camp would be a disastrous defeat, or even annihilation of the entire army.

But if you don't choose to leave, can you let the situation continue to develop?
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Deputy General He Yuan hurried in, "General Lei, it's not good, another 42 escaped from the north."

Hearing this, Qian Jun's expression changed, and he said hastily, "General Lei, don't hesitate any longer, otherwise it will really be too late."

He Yuan nodded, "General Lei, you really should leave, otherwise it will be too late."

Hearing what the two said, Lei Bo sighed secretly, and said slowly, "If you retreat, you will be defeated."

Qian Jun smiled wryly and said, "Although we will be defeated, we may save some of our troops and escape, but if we stay, maybe our entire army will be wiped out."

He Yuan hastily cupped his hands, "General Lei, make a decision quickly!"

Hearing this, Lei Bo gritted his teeth, a look of sadness flashed in the corner of his eyes, and said slowly, "If that's the case, then choose to evacuate."
