Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 260 Difficulties
Lu Bu slapped the table with his palm, gritted his teeth and said, "The three of you violated the prohibition order. You should have been hit with 100 military sticks. Today, for the sake of the generals' pleading, the three of you have the intention of committing crimes and meritorious deeds. Instead, you should be hit with 30 sticks. Army stick, are you convinced?"

"30 batons?"

When Hou Cheng and the others heard this, they hurriedly yelled, "Marquis Wen, we are willing to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Give us a chance."

Chen Gong sighed inwardly, stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, it's better..."

Lu Bu waved his hand, interrupting what Chen Gong wanted to say, "If anyone dares to intercede now, we will deal with it together."

When everyone heard these words, they knew that Lu Bu was really angry, and no one dared to intercede, for fear of getting into trouble.

"Come here, drag the three of them down and execute them immediately."

Following Lu Bu's order, the soldiers immediately rushed forward and dragged the three of them out.

Not long after, the people standing in the room heard crackling sounds from outside, and at the same time, constant screams also came in.

When everyone heard the screams of the three people, they felt a chill in their hearts, and at the same time they were secretly grateful.

After repeated battles, everyone was exhausted. Today, when the Jizhou Army withdrew with difficulty, besides Hou Cheng and the other three, there were actually some people who wanted to drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue.

However, everyone knew Lu Bu's temper, so they could only bear it and did not dare to act rashly.

If they also drank, I am afraid that the end will be the same as that of Hou Cheng, and it may even be more serious.

After all, everyone knew the relationship between Wei Xu and Lu Bu, and they couldn't believe that if they made a mistake, their punishment could be reduced.

Not long after, the crackling outside quieted down, and the soldiers carried the three of them in through the door.

"Marquis Wen, the execution has been completed."

Seeing the wounds of the three people, Lu Bu knew that the beating was not too severe, so he felt a little relieved and waved his hand, "Go back, take a rest for a day, and wait until tomorrow night to go to duty on the city wall. If you dare to make mistakes again , and punish both crimes."

After the soldiers carried the three away, Lu Bu turned his head to look at the crowd, sighed, and said slowly, "Everyone, the 8 Jizhou Army is just outside the city. Once we relax and are taken advantage of by the enemy, when the time comes The city was captured by the Jizhou army, and I regret it."

Having said this, Lu Bu's tone paused, and then he continued without waiting for everyone to answer his own words.

"No one is allowed to disobey the alcohol prohibition order issued by this Marquis. If anyone dares to disobey again, I will blame this Marquis for being ruthless."

When everyone heard the words, their hearts trembled, and they hurriedly cupped their hands, "The last general dare not."

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Everyone is tired too, go back and rest quickly."

After everyone left, Lu Bu let out a long sigh, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Can Dongjun really keep it?

After the uninterrupted attack of the Jizhou army, the defenders in the city had already suffered heavy losses, and they all relied on a will to support them in the counterattack.

If it were another city, after such heavy losses, someone might have wanted to surrender in Kaicheng.

Only the soldiers and horses composed of these refugees have such a tenacious will to defend the city to the death and never let the enemy advance even half a step.

But how long this will last, Lu Bu can't imagine.

The current situation in Yanzhou is very unfavorable to Lu Bu.

No, coupled with the situation in Xuzhou, it is not good news for Lu Bu.

Xuzhou's Jia Xu has been restrained by Huainan soldiers, and it is extremely lucky to be able to keep Xuzhou.

Pang Tong of Juye was able to escape Guo Gong's rebellion, which is already the best news, but at the moment he is restrained by Qingzhou soldiers and horses, it is already impossible to count on this group of soldiers and horses to come to rescue.

And these three groups of soldiers and horses were Lu Bu's last strength, but they were restrained everywhere and fought on their own.

According to the evolution of this situation, I am afraid that the final result will be broken one by one.

No matter which one of these three soldiers and horses it is, as long as it is defeated, a gap will be opened in the entire Yanzhou war situation.

If Xuzhou Jia Xu is defeated, Huainan soldiers will immediately send troops from Xiaopei to attack Yanzhou.

And Lv Bu's troops were restrained, even if he wanted to go to rescue, he might not have enough troops, so he could only watch Huainan's troops invade the hinterland of Yanzhou, and there was nothing he could do.

Once an enemy breaks through the gap, the rest of Yanzhou's soldiers and horses will immediately fall into a two-sided siege, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

Lu Bu thought of how high-spirited he was when he first came to Yanzhou, but in such a short period of time, he fell into such a dangerous situation.

What should I do?
Lu Bu stretched out his hands and pressed his forehead tightly, trying to come up with a solution, but his head was about to burst thinking about it, and he still couldn't come up with a solution.

Thinking of how many refugees came to help him when he was dealing with Cao Cao, Lu Bu frowned even more.

At that time, there were indeed nearly 10 refugees gathered, but among the 10 refugees, more than half were old and weak, and there were not many real soldiers who could fight.

Now, in various refugee camps, soldiers from the refugee escort camps have been selected. Apart from these soldiers, there are very few refugees left who can actually participate in the battle.

And even if the refugees really want to come to rescue, Lu Bu will stop them, because this is definitely not a good way.

Nearly 10 refugees rushed to Puyang that year. If there was not a chance that the warehouse was full, most of the 10 refugees who rushed over would starve to death because of the rush.

Just thinking of this matter, Lu Bu was still terrified.

10 refugees!

If they all gather in Puyang, once there is a shortage of food, the consequences will be disastrous!

Lu Bu had figured this out a long time ago, so he never dared to let refugees gather here.

Now, Lu Bu no longer has the ability to fill the warehouse, that is to say, he can no longer raise a large amount of food, which can meet the food used by 10 refugees.

The current situation in Yanzhou is that everywhere is struggling to support, and there is no large amount of grain storage anywhere.

Once refugees come from everywhere, and then there is not enough food, what will happen, no one knows?

Lu Bu thought hard, what else could he think of besides refugees?
Call for reinforcements?

Where to go to ask for reinforcements?

Huainan Yuan Shu, it is impossible to think about it, as long as he does not attack Xuzhou, thank God, it is absolutely impossible to ask for reinforcements.

What's more, even if Huainan Yuan Shu wanted to send reinforcements to Yanzhou, Lu Bu dared not agree!

In case Yuan Shu's soldiers from Huainan came to Yanzhou, even if they defeated the Jizhou army, Yuan Shu's soldiers from Huainan would probably not leave. Wouldn't my hard work be cheaper for Yuan Shu's soldiers in Huainan?
