Chapter 752 Guess the Jackpot
Back at the Heze camp, Lu Bu took off his shirt and handed it to his personal guards.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Chen Gong was full of anxiety. When he saw Lu Bu coming back, he asked eagerly, "General, I heard that you went to Cao Ying alone?"

Chen Gong was so worried, Lu Bu was still quite moved, and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Gong heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly said that it was okay.Then Cao Cao was able to cruelly slaughter 10,000+ people in Xuzhou, so he is definitely not a soft-hearted person.If Lu Bu really entered the camp alone, how could Cao Cao miss this great opportunity to eliminate future troubles forever.

"I also brought Chen Wei." Lu Bu added later.

The tea that Chen Gong drank into his mouth sprayed out with a 'poof', and he didn't care about the gaffe in etiquette, he asked in amazement: "My lord really entered Cao Ying?"

Lu Bu was calm about this, walked to the coach's position, flipped his armor back, and sat down unhurriedly.

Seeing that Lu Bu acquiesced, Chen Gong began to perform his duty of persuasion: "My lord, you are the supreme commander of the three armies, how can you act like a joke, take such a big risk, if there are any troubles, how can I explain to the court and the world? ..."

"ok, ok, I got it."

Lu Bu interrupted with a wave of his hand, Chen Gong had nothing to say, but he was a little too long-winded, like a woman.

Later, Lu Bu called Guo Jia, Pang Ji, Sima Yi and others to discuss matters.

"I went to Cao Ying today."

As soon as Lu Bu opened his mouth, except for Chen Gong, everyone else showed extremely surprised expressions.

No one thought that at the time when the two armies were fighting, Lu Bu was so bold that he took a hundred riders and went for a stroll in Cao Ying. If Cao Cao killed him, Lu Bu would be finished!
In view of all the previous deeds, Cao Cao's heroic nature was fully exposed. Killing one person can avoid the war and win the victory. He must be able to do such a thing.

"My lord, you are really floating."

Guo Jia said with a smile, it can be seen that Lu Bu has indeed untied the knot in his heart.

Regarding Guo Jia's ridicule, Lu Bu responded with a smile: "The ancients said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. I guess Cao Mengde will not kill me, so I went in and sat for a while."

Lu Bu said it calmly, but the hearts of all the people present were turbulent, as if he had followed him to the dragon's pond and tiger's lair.

Fortunately, Lu Bu returned safely.

Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Yuan Tu, find some people in private, publicize this matter, and let the world know." Chen Gong whispered to Pang Ji, regardless of whether it can destroy Cao Cao, but at least it can increase the prestige of the lord.

Enter the enemy camp alone, cook wine and talk about the world.

Thinking about that scene, I feel blood surging.

Once this matter gets out, it is estimated that there will be countless followers.

Lu Bu didn't care much about these things. He couldn't figure it out a little bit, and told everyone: "When Cao Cao led his army to Heshan, the intelligence said that Cao's army had at least [-] soldiers. But I wandered around Cao Ying today. After a full circle, it was found that there were only about [-] Cao Ying soldiers, at least [-] fewer than what the intelligence said, where did this group of troops go?"

On the way back, Lu Bu was puzzled.

The advisers in the tent also frowned deeply, thinking carefully.These days, no scouts have come to report that Cao Jun has made large-scale actions.

But this is what Lu Bu saw with his own eyes, and there will be no fakes after all.

So how did Cao Jun's more than 2 soldiers and horses disappear, and where did they go?
This is something that no one can guess.

"Could it be that Cao Cao knew the master's intentions and sent troops back to Fangchangyi in advance?" Pang Ji twirled his chin beard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was the first to speak.

The two sides are fighting each other, and each other has secret agents, and everyone is tacit about this.Lv Bu is now sending out troops with great fanfare. Even if Cao Cao can't guess the specific movements of these troops, he should be on guard.

So, it is indeed possible.

Lu Bu nodded, and asked Chen Gong who was in deep thought: "Gongtai, what do you think?"

"I think that Cao Cao's move is very likely to attack Puyang?" Chen Gong gave an unexpected answer.

In order to add persuasiveness and feasibility, Chen Gong picked up the map on the desktop and unfolded it on the wall: "Everyone, please see that it is only two hundred miles from Caoying in Heshan to Puyang in Dongjun. The counties along the way have gone through wars. The defense of the city has not been repaired in time, and there are almost no troops stationed there. As a result, the county city of Puyang has become the first target."

With Cao Cao's military sense, it is impossible not to notice this.

Just as Lu Bu was thinking about how to respond, he found that Sima Yi, who was standing next to Guo Jia, quietly showed an extremely evil smile.

"Zhongda, what are you laughing at?"

Lu Bu put the matter aside for the time being, and asked with great interest.He liked this young guy very much, smart and cunning.

"Just now I was thinking about something wildly, please punish me, my lord." Sima Yi, who knew he had lost his composure, hurriedly handed over his hands and confessed, regaining his previous expression.

He is obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is extraordinarily mature and prudent in his dealings with others.

"What's interesting, let's talk about it." Lu Bu became more and more curious.

"I was wondering if Cao Cao wanted to bypass Jiyin and attack Chenliu in a sneak attack, thus cutting off our army's retreat." Sima Yi expressed his thoughts frankly.

"How is this possible? My lord is still holding Dongjun in the north of Yanzhou. If Cao Cao lets his soldiers attack Chen Liu, even if he succeeds, he will be surrounded by enemies from all sides. No matter how stupid Cao Cao is, it is impossible not to think of this!"

There was a bit of contempt in Pang Ji's smile. After all, he was a young man, and his gaze was far from enough.

Sima Yi didn't argue with Pang Ji, but modestly backed down: "I'm just joking, my lord and you don't have to take it seriously."

Lu Bu also felt that it was unlikely. Cao Cao liked to take risks, but this did not mean that he would do such a thing to seek his own death.

Therefore, what Sima Yi just said was completely unrealistic.

At this time, a scout rushed into the tent from the outside, took out the letter from his pocket covered in sweat, and reported anxiously: "My lord, please hurry up."

Lu Bu reached out to take it, and opened it to browse, his dilated brows gradually frowning.

The crowd noticed that Lu Bu's expression was not right, and they guessed that something important must happen, so they asked cautiously: "My lord, is there something important?"

"Cao Mengde, you played a big game of chess!"

Lu Bu tightened his hands and crushed the bamboo slip, his eyes were murderous.Then he calmed down and told everyone: "Yuan Shao took Qu Yi as his general, and he has captured Puyang, and the defender Xue Lan died in battle."

The crowd was astonished.

Only Guo Jia patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, Sima Yi turned around, and the former said to him with a smile: "Zhongda, it seems that you are lucky, you won the first prize!"
