Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 87 Lost City
Lv Bu led the army and walked all the way, halfway, suddenly, the system's notification sound came into his mind.

"If Puyang falls, [-] support points will be deducted."

Hearing this prompt, Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed, he gritted his teeth and let out a low growl. He hastily opened the control panel to check his precious support points.

35200 support points.

Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this number. He was shocked, but also a little confused.

As for the precious support points, he remembered very clearly that just yesterday, there were still 46800 points, even if 36800 points were deducted because of the loss of Puyang, there should still be [-] support points left?

Why are there only 35200 points left, where did the rest of the points go?

Was it stolen by the system?

Suddenly, Lu Bu's heart trembled, as if he understood why?
36800 points minus 35200 points equals a reduction of 1600 points.

And these 1600 points may have been killed by Cao Jun.

"Cao Mengde, you are so cruel!"

Seeing Lu Bu's ugly face, Chen Gong thought he was worried about Puyang, so he hurriedly comforted him.

"Marquis Wen, don't worry too much. Although Cao Mengde led the army to attack Puyang, there are still Meng Zhuo and 4000 soldiers in the city. They should be able to last for a few days."

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Gong, and really wanted to tell him the news that Puyang had fallen, but after thinking about it, he could only sigh.

"I hope Meng Zhuo will take care of himself and don't make any mistakes, otherwise he will regret it!"

This time, in order to resist the coming Cao Cao, Lu Bu ordered to transfer the troops of the brigade from Puyang.

If these soldiers and horses were not transferred, could Puyang be saved?
Chen Gong sighed, "No matter what, Puyang must be defended, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves ahead, and a scout rushed back from the front.

"It's not good, our army has been defeated!"

Hearing the news from the spies, Chen Gong was startled and his face suddenly turned pale.

"What did you say, what happened?"

The spies cupped their hands, "Zhang Chao's prefect Dabing rushed to Puyang, but he met the enemy's general Cao Ren, and he was defeated and returned."

Chen Gong asked tremblingly, "How is Puyang?"

"Puyang has been lost, Zhang Taishou has fallen into the hands of the enemy, life or death is unknown."

"what?"

Hearing this explosive news, Chen Gong almost jumped up from his horse and roared, "What did you say, Meng Zhuo was caught by them, is it true or not?"

"It's true, subordinates dare not lie."

Lu Bu led the army to continue onwards, and until the evening approached, Zhang Chao rushed back with the remnants of the defeated generals.

Although Zhang Chao looked a little embarrassed, his face was full of sadness. As soon as he rushed into the tent, he yelled.

"Marquis Wen, save my elder brother's life, it's too late."

Chen Gong hurriedly stepped forward to support the excited Zhang Chao, settled him down, and comforted him.

"Prefect Zhang, calm down for a moment, Meng Zhuofu has a big fate, and nothing will happen."

Zhang Chao was even more excited, "No, Cao Mengde will never let my elder brother go, please save him."

Hearing this, Chen Gong frowned and sighed inwardly.

If Zhang Miao falls into the hands of others, with his reputation, it should be fine!
However, it happened to fall into the hands of Cao Mengde. I am afraid that this time his life and death are unpredictable, or in other words, he is close to death!
When Cao Cao raised an army in Jiwu, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, sent his general Wei Zi to fully support him. Although the army was defeated, it proved that the relationship between the two was very good.

But it is a pity that there are many reasons, but the two turned against each other.

More importantly, Zhang Miao chose to betray Cao Cao and attacked Yanzhou together with Lu Bu and others, catching Cao Cao off guard.

Faced with the betrayal of his good friend, Chen Gong is sure that Zhang Miao must be in danger, and he may not come back.

Even though he knew this, he could only comfort Zhang Chao with a strong face and ease the pain in his heart.

"Prefect Zhang, Meng Zhuoji is a good person and will be fine."

Zhang Chao cupped his hands towards Lu Bu, and said anxiously, "Marquis Wen, we raised troops with you back then, but now, you can't just ignore death!"

Lu Bu nodded, "Prefect Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue Meng Zhuo."

……

Puyang.

Cao Cao sat in the main seat, looked at Zhang Miao who was brought up, and remembered his trust in him, a flash of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Zhang Miao, how do I treat you? Are you worthy of my trust in you?"

Zhang Miao, who was escorted up by the soldiers, saw the cold light flashing in Cao Cao's eyes, and his face turned pale. The idea of ​​trying to argue with reason suddenly disappeared, and he could only hold his hands.

"Meng De, I made a mistake this time, please forgive me for my past friendship."

Zhang Miao's weak look made Cao Cao even more angry. He gritted his teeth and snorted, "Zhang Miao, things have come to this and you still want to live. What a dream!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao remembered what happened during this period, and suddenly broke out, slamming the table and roaring.

"Zhang Miao, you took advantage of me to go to Xuzhou to sneak attack on Yanzhou, and now I have nowhere to stand. We should settle this account!"

Zhang Miao was so frightened by Cao Cao's words that he trembled all over and almost collapsed on the ground.

Zhang Miao knew who his old friend was, and he could do things like massacre the city, not to mention that he had betrayed him, so he would definitely not let him go lightly!

"Come on, drag me out and chop!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely.

"Meng De, just let it go and try again!"

Just when Zhang Miao was so frightened that his mind was torn apart, a voice came from beside him.

"My lord, please calm down!"

Cao Cao felt a little displeased, snorted coldly, turned his head to look, only to find that it was Cheng Yu!
"Zhongde, do you also want me to let Zhang Miao go?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, "Master, Zhang Miao can't be killed!"

A cold light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, "Why can't you kill him?"

Cheng Yu said slowly, "Because killing Zhang Miao is just a temporary relief, but it won't help. It's better to use it a little bit, which can also bring us greater benefits."

Cao Cao's eyes brightened, "Zhongde, what do you mean?"

Cheng Yu sighed, "My lord's family members are all in Juancheng, and his life and death are unknown now, so it would be better to exchange them with Zhang Miao!"

Upon hearing these words, Cao Cao reacted immediately and turned to look at Zhang Miao fiercely, "Take him down first."

After Zhang Miao left, Cao Cao turned to look at Cheng Yu, and asked tentatively, "Zhongde, do you think Lu Bu's children will change?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "He will definitely change, but we can't take him so cheaply, we need to change some people back."

Cao Cao slapped the table and said coldly, "That's right, if Xun Wen is still in their hands, they must replace him."

Xue Ti stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, if you want to change people, why not change more, what do you think?"
