The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 666
The next day, the morning sun rose.

When the golden sun rose, a dark crowd appeared on the distant horizon, and they were marching in the direction of Juyang City in an orderly manner.

"General, they are coming!"

Seeing this, the sentry soldiers on the tower rushed to report to the general.

Cao Ren's heart sank, and he said "Sure enough", he followed the soldiers to the top of the city and looked into the distance. It was still the enemy's flag from yesterday, but the number of people had decreased significantly.

"Give me the order, all the soldiers are on alert immediately!" Cao Ren passed the order decisively, without any delay.

Now it seems that the first battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao was fought over this city of Juyang.

To the south of Juyang, Dingtao.

Lu Bu's army had arrived here a few days ago to confront Cao Cao in the city.

Lu Bu stationed his army camp in Xinshui, ten miles away from Dingtao, and had a face-to-face meeting with Cao Cao when he came. In recent days, apart from sending people to call for war every now and then, he has not made any substantial attacks.

In Dingtao City, Cao Cao summoned several of his confidant advisers who came for this trip.

"My lord." Xun You and others entered the hall and took their seats after seeing the ceremony.

Cao Cao's face was dignified, and everyone present was a confidant, so he simply cut to the chase: "Lv Bujun has not seen any movement for a long time, I doubt whether he will make other moves."

In Cao Cao's view, although Lu Bu sent people to the city to call for battle from time to time, it was very likely that it was just a cover for bluffing.

"If it's a bluff, then what is Lu Bu planning?" Man Chong followed Cao Cao's words in a low voice and pondered carefully.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: go up to attack the enemy, then attack the enemy, and then attack the city. Perhaps Lu Bu is waiting for a better opportunity." Mao Jie said thoughtfully, lining his chin up.

"Impossible. I understand Lu Bu's temperament. If he wants to attack the city, he will definitely do it swiftly and decisively, instead of watching the situation and waiting forever."

Cao Cao rejected Mao Jie's idea. Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops were hoarding here, and the daily food and grass consumption alone was a huge figure. After two years or three years, Lu Bu could not afford to consume it.

What's more, this time it was Lu Bu who took the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

"My lord, is there a letter from General Xiahou and General Cao?" Xun You, who had pondered for a long time, spoke slowly.

As early as when they set off, Cao Cao told Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren that they must send letters to Dingtao every day, even if it was just a simple report of safety.

In fact, the two did exactly that.

Looking back, Cao Cao seemed to have only received a letter from Xia Houyuan yesterday. As for Juyang, where Cao Ren was located...

Seems like, no.

Cao Cao is such a smart person, he suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Xun You in surprise: "Gongda, you mean..."

Xun You nodded.

Because Lu Bu's army was stationed not far from the city, many people subconsciously focused their attention on Lu Bu, while ignoring the other two places.

"My lord, I don't understand something. Lu Bu's army is in Xinshui, so where did he get the army to attack Juyang?" Mao Jie didn't seem to believe what Xun You said, and was very puzzled.

Cao Cao had sent people to investigate the Lu Bu barracks many times before, and according to the intelligence reported by the scouts, it was at least 5 people.

What is real is empty, and what is empty is real.

Cao Cao knew the way of commanding troops well. If it was as Xun You expected, then Lu Bu would not have so many soldiers and horses at all!
What a smack!
"Wen Lie, quickly lead five thousand soldiers and go to reinforce Juyang!"

Cao Cao thought very fast and made a decision immediately.

"My lord, don't do it!" Hearing Cao Cao's order, Xun You stood up and interrupted.

"Why?" Cao Cao didn't know why.

Xun You got back up: "Lv Bu's army is not far outside the city, he will definitely keep a close eye on the movement in the city. If you send someone to rescue Juyang, it will definitely alarm Lv Bu, and it is very likely that he will lead his troops to make a surprise attack. .”

"Do you want me to watch Juyang fall into Lu Bu's hands?" Cao Cao's tone was unwilling.

Xun You shook his head slightly, he cupped his hands, obviously he had a solution to this: "Juyang can't give up, so my lord can send General Xiahou to rescue him."

"But Bo County, where Miaocai is located, is far away from Juyang. I'm afraid Zixiao will not be able to hold on."

Cao Cao's face was full of worry. If Lu Bu was determined to attack Juyang, he would definitely launch a strong attack with thunderous momentum, fearing that Cao Ren would not be able to last for so long.

"Is there any other way of rescue?" Cao Cao asked everyone in the hall with eager eyes.

The people in the hall thought about it and shook their heads.

On the banks of the Xinshui River, the breeze blows, creating ripples.

"Is there any movement in the city?"

Lu Bu took a walk by the river and asked his future son-in-law beside him.

In fact, when Dong Bai was promised to Guo Jia, in addition to the mutual love between the two, Lu Bu also had his own selfish intentions, and he wanted to keep Guo Jia firmly by his side.

There is no need to say much about Guo Jia's ability.

There are three strategies to retreat the enemy before, and there is a big breakthrough of Yuan Shu hundreds of miles later.

Lu Bu was unwilling to let such a talent go.

However, Guo Jia has a free and easy personality, and no one can restrain him. If it wasn't for the sake of the plot, he might have left Lu Bu's camp long ago.

Because of this, Lu Bu especially wanted to keep him.

Lu Bu heard about Xi Ce before that Guo Jia seems to be romantic and affectionate, but he is actually a kind of love.

In this way, it will be much easier to handle.

Since Dong Bai liked Guo Jia, then Lu Bu agreed to the marriage with the beauty of an adult.

Once there is a fetter, it will be difficult for Guo Jia to leave.

Guo Jia, who was half shorter next to him, still didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking. He answered the question Lu Bu had just asked, but there was no movement in the city.

"Could it be that Cao Cao hasn't received Juyang's call for help?" Lu Bu was a little puzzled by this. Not only did he want to capture Juyang, but he also wanted to lure Cao Cao to send troops to rescue him, and then take advantage of the situation to attack, killing two birds with one stone.

But now Cao Cao has not seen any movement for a long time, which makes him a little puzzled.

Guo Jia put his hand in front of his chest, and the white fox showed a little solemn expression, and pondered: "Even if he didn't receive it, Xun You, the counselor under Cao Cao's command, should have seen through this. As for why he didn't send troops, I think he must have It was expected that we would intercept halfway, so we did not send troops for a long time."

Lu Bu let out a 'huh', he had heard about the ability of the Xun family's uncle and nephew.

If Cao Cao didn't send someone to rescue Juyang, it would only be a strong man who cut off his wrist and lost his car to protect his handsome man.

A smile curled up on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, thinking that he was sure of winning.

He looked sideways at Guo Jia and asked curiously, "Compared with Xun You, who is better?"

"It's half a catty." Guo Jia replied casually.

Lu Bu felt relieved.

However, Guo Jia's brain circuit seems to be far beyond comparison with others, and he added: "He is half a catty of gold, and I am eight taels of scrap iron."

Lu Bu fluttered in the wind, dumbfounded.

"I lied to you, hahaha..."
