Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 186
Seeing Lu Bu being so forthright, Jia Xu was overjoyed and cupped his hands again and again, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

However, Jia Xu didn't know Lu Bu's true plan, otherwise he might regret it.

Lu Bu already knew that Jia Xu was worth [-] points, so he must be an expert. If he didn't sincerely surrender, how could he let him go.

This time, it was Lu Bu's temptation. If Jia Xu hadn't sent out the points, needless to say, let him take charge of Xuzhou's overall situation, I am afraid that Lu Bu would turn his face in the next moment and push him out to kill him.

Jia Xu is very resourceful, once he can't use it for himself, he must not leave troubles behind.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, although I agree, I have a small request."

Lu Bu smiled and nodded, "Wen He, feel free to say something, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you."

Jia Xu nodded, and said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, it's just that the next person has some mobility problems, why don't you ask General Zilong to come to help, what do you think?"

Lu Bu also wanted to see Zhao Yun's ability. If it was really extraordinary, he would be promoted as soon as possible, and Xuzhou was the best place to test it.

"Okay, since Wenhe wants to ask Zilong to help, I'll leave the Xuzhou matter to you two."

Zhao Yun, who was standing aside, heard these words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

Everyone present knew very well that attacking Xuzhou was the top priority now, and those who could participate in this matter would probably make great contributions.

Moreover, everyone has already made some guesses about what kind of rewards they will receive after capturing Xuzhou.

Lu Bu looked at everyone's envious eyes and waved his hands, "Everyone, don't be in a hurry. After the Xuzhou raid is completed, there is still a large area of ​​land waiting for us in Huainan."

When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted.

After plotting against Xuzhou, Huainan may be the next step. At that time, as long as there is a chance to participate, the credit will be no less.

……

Xuzhou.

"Ha ha!"

Liu Bei looked at the crowd who were laughing loudly, and a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, but his face was full of sadness.

"Xi Zhi was a great talent, now that he has passed away, God is really jealous of the talent, what a pity!"

Zhang Fei snorted and said, "Brother is kind-hearted. No matter how talented he is, he is just giving Cao Mengde an idea to entrap Big Brother. It's just right to die now, so I can count on Big Brother if I can save myself."

Liu Bei agreed with Zhang Fei's words in his heart, but he couldn't say that in his mouth, and said with a sigh.

"Yide, don't talk nonsense. Although Mr. Xi is my enemy, he is a great talent after all, so don't be presumptuous!"

Mi Zhu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Liu Shijun, anyway, we have one less enemy now, and our plans will not be easily discovered by Cao Mengde. Good thing."

Liu Bei nodded, "How are things going?"

Jian Yong said with a smile, "Liu Shijun, everything is ready now, just wait for the North Route Army to send troops."

Zhang Fei said loudly, "None of these fellows from the Northern Route Army are capable. Why should we lose? If we directly defeat them and fight all the way to Huainan, how refreshing it is!"

Mi Zhu hurriedly waved his hand, "General Yide, Huainan has a strong army, if you want to plot something, you can only do it slowly, now is not the time."

Jian Yong nodded, "Yes, besides Huainan soldiers and horses, there is also the great enemy Cao Mengde, we have to guard against it."

Mi Zhu said with a smile, "So, we can only lose."

Hearing this sentence, Sun Gan, who had been silent for a long time, laughed and said, "This is not called defeat, this is called advancing by retreat."

Jian Yong smiled and nodded, "That's right, we are advancing by retreating. Although we are retreating now, when Cao Mengde is eliminated, it is time for us to advance."

Mi Zhu said with a smile, "Now that Cao Mengde's top adviser Xi Zhicai has passed away, I'm afraid no one will be able to see through this plan. It's really a God-given opportunity."

Hearing this, Jian Yong frowned, "Except for Xi Zhicai, Cao Mengde's subordinates, Cheng Yu are not idle people, we must be careful in dealing with it."

……

The camp of the North Route Army was full of laughter at the moment, and the originally depressing atmosphere had been swept away after the reinforcements arrived.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, several chiefs and generals of the Northern Route Army gathered together and were discussing the matter of retreating from the enemy.

Qiao Zheng was the oldest, he sat in the main seat without hesitation, looked at the few people in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"Now our Northern Route Army has increased to 4 people, while Liu Xuande's army on the opposite side only has more than 1 people.

I think it's time to send troops. "

Li Feng nodded, "When the general led his troops away from the Chinese army, General Zhang specially instructed that he must defeat Liu Xuande as soon as possible and rush to join the Chinese army."

Li She frowned, "I really didn't expect that Cao Mengde was so cunning that he completely defeated the South Route Army. It's really unexpected."

Li Feng nodded solemnly, "Cao Mengde has countless strong generals, and he is quite resourceful, so General Zhang is very worried."

Li She suddenly sneered, "The reason why we confronted Liu Xuande during this time is that we are not sure of victory. Now that General Li has brought his troops here, it is time to eliminate Liu Xuande."

Hearing what the two said, Qiao Feng nodded, "In this case, tomorrow morning, all our troops will leave the camp and completely defeat Liu Xuande."

Early the next morning, Liu Bei was preparing for battle in the camp, when he suddenly received news that Yuan Shu's army had left the camp and was preparing for a decisive battle.

Hearing the news, Liu Bei was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly assembled his troops and led them out of the camp.

Liu Bei came to the front of the formation and looked at the Northern Route Army opposite him like a tide, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

Several times against Yuan Shu's army, he faced a tide of soldiers.

It's a pity that I have worked so hard for so long, but I have only gathered more than 1 soldiers and horses. I have tried my best, but Huainan can always easily pull out more soldiers and horses.
Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward, "Brother, let me fight with them?"

Knowing Zhang Fei's ability, Liu Bei nodded, "Yide, you have to be careful!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and immediately patted his horse to the front of the two armies, and shouted, "Listen up, people on the opposite side, who dares to fight this general?"

Qiao Ren and Li She knew Zhang Fei's abilities, so naturally they didn't dare to fight, but Li Feng was eager to try, and wanted to go forward to meet the enemy, but they were stopped by them.

"General Li, don't be fooled, I'm afraid you won't be the opponent of this black servant."

Li Feng squinted at Zhang Fei, "Is this black guy very powerful?"

Li She said with a wry smile, "General Chen took three rounds to fight, and was beaten to death by this black man."

Hearing these words, Li Feng was startled. He knew Chen Lan's martial arts, and the two were just brothers.

Since Chen Lan can only persist for three rounds, I'm afraid he can't do more than that.

Thinking of his recklessness just now, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Li Feng's forehead, and he was secretly terrified in his heart. He cupped his hands at the two of them, "Thank you two generals for reminding me, otherwise I really missed a big deal."

Qiao Ren nodded, "You are welcome, General Li. Now you two are on the left and right flanks. This general leads the central army. We will attack from three directions. With a large number of people, we will surely defeat Liu Bei's army."

Upon hearing the words, Li Feng and Li She cupped their hands one after another, "This time we must completely defeat Liu Bei."

Zhang Fei yelled for a long time in front of the formation of the two armies, but he still didn't see anyone coming out to fight. When he was bored, he suddenly heard the sound of the horn on the opposite side.

Oh oh oh!
Amid the desolate sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Northern Route Army raised their spears and began to move forward slowly.

At the same time, the war drum also made a dull drum sound, resounding throughout the land.

"No, they attacked."

Liu Bei was also taken aback, and hurriedly shouted at Zhang Fei, "Yide, come back quickly."

Although Zhang Fei is brave, in an army of tens of thousands of people, no matter how brave he is, there will be times when his strength will be weak, and he will be in danger at that time.

Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei's shouting, although he was unwilling to retreat, but the military orders were overwhelming, so he could only murmur and pat his horse and retreat to the town.

At the same time, Liu Bei's soldiers began to attack.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

In just a blink of an eye, the charging soldiers of the two armies collided with each other, and countless shouts of killing sounded almost at the same moment.

The North Route Army's spears were like a forest, stabbing out continuously, and Liu Bei's soldiers only persisted for a short time before they were beaten and retreated.

Guan Yu commanded the soldiers to continuously charge the Huainan army formation, trying to save the defeat.

However, the Huainan soldiers and horses were as stable as Mount Tai, advancing step by step, and Liu Bei's army had no resistance to fight.

The battle between the two sides lasted for more than an hour. Liu Beijun finally couldn't hold on any longer and retreated in defeat.

Qiao Feng was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to pursue him.

The Northern Route Army pursued them from behind, while Liu Bei's army ran in front and fled until they were near Xiaopei. Then the Northern Route Army withdrew its troops and retreated.

Liu Bei immediately integrated his troops and retreated to Xiaopei City.

……

"Ha ha!"

In the camp of the North Route Army, there were bursts of cheers, and everyone was beaming.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the three of Qiao Zong laughed from ear to ear, and their eyes were full of joy.

"Haha, Liu Bei is such a wimp. Although he has a strong general like Zhang Fei under his command, the soldiers under him are really worthless."

Li She nodded, "No wonder he occupied Xuzhou, and he was kicked out by Cao Mengde. He is really a waste."

Li Feng said with a smile, "Now that Liu Bei has been beaten back to Xiaopei, I'm afraid he won't dare to come out again. Why don't our troops withdraw immediately and go to reinforce the Central Army?"

Hearing this, Qiao Ren nodded, "Alright, although Liu Xuande has not been eliminated, but his troops have been defeated, there should be no more threats, and it is better to support the Central Army."

The defeat of Liu Bei's army today was a bit miserable, and the three of them had no doubt that Liu Bei had ulterior motives.

In the early morning of the second day, the three of them returned with their soldiers and horses, and we went to meet up with the Central Route Army.

Zhang Xun's heart was hanging all the time, and he let it go when he saw that the three of them had returned with their troops.

"Great, you guys were able to defeat Liu Xuande in such a short period of time, I will definitely credit you with a great credit."

The three of Qiaozheng hurriedly cupped their hands, "Thank you, General Zhang."

Li Feng tentatively asked, "General Zhang, how is Cao Mengde's side, is there any change?"

Zhang Xun shook his head, "No, the camp has been camped on the left side of the city during this time, and no troops have been sent out of the camp."

Li She laughed and said, "Cao Mengde must have been afraid of us, that's why he didn't dare to go out to fight.

Maybe, when Cao Mengde heard that we had defeated Liu Xuande, he would obediently come out and surrender, haha. "

Hearing Li She's words, Zhang Xun immediately relaxed and couldn't help laughing, "I really hope that Cao Mengde will come out and surrender, so as not to fight again."

Zhang Xun has been attacking Pengcheng for so long without making any progress, and he has long been bored in his heart. He wishes Cao Mengde could surrender and save this trouble.

Qiao Yan waved his hand, "General Zhang, since the North Route Army is no longer in trouble, how about our army going to fight Cao Mengde early tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Xun pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, it's been so long since I've been out, it's time to stop."

……

Cao's army camp.

Cao Cao sat in the middle with a sad expression.

Xi Zhicai passed away suddenly, which was a heavy blow to him.

All along, Xi Zhicai had helped him too much, leaving now made him feel a little guilty.

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Lu Qian knew what was on his mind, and cupped his hands, "My lord, please express my condolences. Xi Zhicai has been in poor health. It is a relief to leave now."

Cao Cao nodded silently and sighed, "God is jealous of talents, what a pity!"

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a soldier walked in quickly and said with cupped hands.

"My lord, there is news from the North Route Army that Liu Bei's army has been defeated and suffered heavy losses. Now it has retreated to Xiaopei."

"what?"

Hearing this news, Cao Cao was taken aback immediately, stood up abruptly, and shouted sharply, "What did you say, Liu Bei's army was defeated?"

"It's indeed defeated. It has already retreated to Xiaopei, and now the North Route Army has retreated to join the Central Route Army."

Cao Cao sat down helplessly and murmured, "How could this happen? How could Liu Bei's army be defeated?"

In his plan, even if Liu Beijun couldn't defeat the North Route Army, he could at least hold back for a period of time, giving him time to destroy the Central Route Army, and at that time, Huainan's offensive could be completely resolved.

But who would have thought that Liu Bei's army would be defeated, and so quickly!
Lu Qian yelled badly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Liu Bei's army has retreated, and the North Route Army and the Central Route Army have merged, and the number has reached 9. It is impossible for our army to defeat it. What should I do?"

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Cao Tou's forehead, and his heart suddenly hung up again.

Now there are only more than 1 people under his command, but he has to face Huainan's 9 soldiers and horses. No matter how he thinks, he will definitely lose!

Cao Ren said loudly, "My lord, since our army is no longer able to compete with the Huainan soldiers and horses, it is better to retreat to Pengcheng and defend the city. I believe that with the strength of the city, the Huainan soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to do anything to our army."

When the generals heard these words, they all nodded, "Yes, it is better to retreat to the city and defend it."

Lu Qian cupped his hands and said, "My lord, as long as we guard the city, Huainan soldiers and horses will run out of food sooner or later. At that time, the siege of Xuzhou will be solved naturally?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao was about to speak when suddenly a man walked out of the crowd and spoke loudly.
