The news of the defeats that came one after another almost made Lu Bu collapse:
Since he had made a name for himself, has he ever suffered such a disgraceful defeat? Now that the Cao army has not seen it with their own eyes, it has already caused him such a heavy loss!
This is intolerable!
With an unbalanced mentality, he wanted to rush back to the main city of Xuzhou immediately, and take back Xuzhou, Diao Chan, and the Du family that originally belonged to him, and he didn't have time to enjoy them...
Seeing this, the think tank Chen Gong hurriedly persuaded him:
Lord, calm down!
Now that things have come to this, anger will only make people lose their minds, and everything needs to be considered in the long run!
When Lu Bu heard this, he was immediately angry:
Consider the long run? This is easy to say!
Now that we have even lost the rear area, how can you teach me to consider the long run?
Facing such a bad-tempered guy, even though Chen Gong was unhappy, after all, he was the master he chose, so he could only pinch his nose and endure it:
Lord, don't worry! I will sort out these many battle reports carefully, and then make a plan...
After that, he quickly caught several communication officers who came to deliver the message and questioned them carefully.
After a thorough analysis, this think tank who was very familiar with Boss Cao barely guessed some of the truth:
Although it was not right, it was not far off!
After calculating in his mind, Chen Gong quickly made his own judgment and immediately said:
My lord, Cao Mengde has always been cunning and very good at using troops.
In my opinion, the seizure of the secret letter was quite strange.
Now that I think about it carefully, I am afraid that it was a trap from beginning to end...
We were fooled by Cao thief!
After hearing this, Lu Bu's head was full of black lines:
Trap? Why didn't you say it earlier! That damn Cao thief is really hateful!
Now that we are about to reach Xiapi, Xuzhou in the rear is lost, what should we do?
Chen Gong frowned and replied carefully:
For now, since Xiaopei and Xuzhou have been lost, we have no choice but to move forward and rush to Xiapi to join forces with the remaining defenders in the city!
Then concentrate our forces to take Xiaopei down again! When Xiaopei returns to the hands of the lord, we can use Xiapi and Xiaopei as bases to form a pincer attack and jointly resist Cao's army!
As for the main city of Xuzhou?
According to the current intelligence, the Cao army occupying the city has only a few thousand troops in total!
How can such a small number of troops defend for a long time?
After we kill the Cao army, we will lead the army south. With the might of the lord, it is only a matter of time to conquer the lost land...
When Lu Bu heard this, he felt that it was indeed the case, and his anger was slightly relieved. However
, after calming down.
He changed his mind:
With Chen Gong's idea, although Xiaopei and Xuzhou were temporarily lost, they could be taken back sooner or later, and it would not matter if they were occupied by Cao's army for a few days.
But Diao Chan and Du Shi can't do that!
Thinking of this,
Lu Bu became anxious again:
"Wait! Gongtai, if you really do this, what about Diao Chan and Du?!"
Chen Gong was speechless when he heard it:
What kind of situation is this? This master is still thinking about two irrelevant concubines in the harem?
Although he despised him in his heart, Chen Gong had no choice but to endure it!
After all, based on his understanding of Lu Bu:
If he didn't help to find a solution, I'm afraid this guy would really go back and kill himself regardless of everything!
In desperation, Chen Gong had to catch the soldiers who escaped from the front line of Xuzhou and interrogate them in detail.
As the first think tank under Lu Bu, Chen Gong's intelligence is naturally very good: if converted into intelligence points, it is almost on the dividing line between a strong second-rate and a first-rate wise man.
After some sorting...
From the fragmentary details, Chen Gong quickly constructed a general process.
After careful consideration, even as smart as he was, he couldn't help but wonder:
The second son of the Cao family, Cao Jian?"
"When did Cao Mengde give birth to such a good son who is both civil and military?
It was just an unintentional compliment.
But it sounded like a needle prick in Lu Bu's ears!
"Gongtai! It's already this hour!
Why are you still acting like a thief and destroying your own prestige?"
"Who cares about that damn Cao Jian!"
"I just want to know, what should we do with Diao Chan and Du Shi?"
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Gong quickly came up with an idea:
"My Lord, from all the information we have so far, it seems that the Cao army that came to attack us did not have the 100,000 troops mentioned in the secret letter! In fact
, it was less than half of the number!
Otherwise, they would not have taken the risk of sending a small group of troops to attack Xuzhou.……"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu was already confused: ???
Seeing this, Chen Gong knew that his master was not very intelligent, so he didn't beat around the bush!
So after a slight pause, he simply continued:
"In other words, the troops Cao Mengde left behind must be quite a lot!
So before we set out, we misunderstood Chen Deng's plan to split the troops into three groups, which was fundamentally wrong!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu finally understood:
"What? Doesn't that mean we have been fooled by Cao again? ?!"
Chen Gong nodded and continued:
"That's right! For now, since we have understood it, we should correct it as soon as possible!
General Zang Ba and other troops need to continue to guard Taishan County and harass Cao's army in Yanzhou when the opportunity arises; as for Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and other troops, the tens of thousands of troops heading to Yuzhou to attack Runan can be withdrawn!"
"My Lord, don't you want to rescue Madam Diao Chan and Madam Du as soon as possible?
This way, we can take advantage of the fact that General Hou Cheng and the other three generals have not gone far yet!
We need to send someone as soon as possible, and rush to bring them back!"
"Then they led the 10,000 troops to urgently counterattack Xuzhou City!
While Cao's army has not yet gained a foothold in Xuzhou City and there are not many soldiers, we still have a chance!
In particular, the person in charge of everything in Xuzhou City is said to be the second son of the Cao family who is just starting out?
How capable can a little boy be?
Facing such a big city, he can't manage it at all!
With this calculation, the city is probably already in chaos!
If everything goes well, we may be able to catch them off guard.……"
After hearing this, Lu Bu finally smiled with satisfaction:
"Haha! That’s good, that’s good!!"
"In this way, everything we lost can be regained immediately, haha……"
After that, he immediately gave the order with satisfaction:
Everything should be carried out according to Chen Gong's plan...
At this moment!
They obviously haven't realized it yet!
Although the clever Chen Gong guessed many things correctly, he misjudged the positioning of Cao Jian!
And this misjudgment will lead to all their actions being wrong...
