The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 221 Lu Bu personally led the army to raid Cao Ying
Hearing Xi Yu's words, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were at a loss: Why is Mr. Xi talking so nonsense? Could it be that he has lost his mind?

Although the two were worried that Xi Yu would be ill, they only dared to ask curiously, "My lord, what is a plumber and what is housekeeping?"

……

A month later, Pingshou City was still very peaceful, and Lu Bu closed the city gate to guard.

Even so, Xi Yu still didn't dare to be careless. He had already made careful arrangements and never gave Lu Bu a chance to sneak attack or break through.

Even if Lu Bu can break through, he can only go west.

On this day, Huang Zhong brought the latest battle report from the west.

"My lord, I just got the news that Mr. Cao set off from Xuchang and personally deployed defenses along the river to completely block Yuan Shao's way to rescue Lu Bu."

"Okay." Xi Yu nodded.

As expected of Cao Cao.

From Xi Yu's point of view, Cao Cao's strategic vision is one of the best among all the vassals today. Apart from that, only Yuan Hao may be able to compare with him.

However, Yuan Shao's temperament is unstable, so he can occasionally be as resourceful and far-reaching as Cao Cao. More often, Yuan Shao is resourceful but not good at making decisions, which is really far from Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao had a lot of ideas, but acted slowly and indecisively.

Knowing that Cao Cao had arrived near Guandu and deployed defenses vigorously, even Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan no longer entered Qingzhou.

Cao Cao therefore took the opportunity to occupy the Yellow River and Jishui, and set up a camp with 3000 troops, walking with Cao Ren, and Xu Chu served as guards.

There were [-] soldiers and horses stationed around the camp, but the surrounding terrain was not flat, which made the camps scattered and not concentrated enough.

"So that's how it is..." After listening to Huang Zhong's report, Xi Yu nodded, now he knew what Cao Cao was doing behind his back.

Since Cao Cao is willing to defend himself, if he sees Yuan Shao withdrawing his troops, he will probably follow him back to Xuchang.

"Has my lord returned to Xuchang? Which general is stationed at He and Jishui now? But General Cao Ren?"

Xi Yu asked.

Cao Ren is a general who can advance and retreat with certainty. He can attack when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats. Although he dare not say that he is "fascinated" by using troops, he also has his unique features.

As far as Cao Cao is concerned, Cao Ren is a rare general under his command.

If Cao Ren had been stationed at He and Ji, the defense would be very simple, and Lu Bu would have nowhere to escape.

"It's not General Cao Ren, but Duke Cao personally guarding the area. He wants to watch the battle from a high place."

"Cao Gong's original words are that he wants to see with his own eyes how Xuzhou soldiers and horses defeat Lu Bu!"

"Duke Cao even promised that on the day when your lord's army defeats Lu Bu, he and your lord will be in Beihai, composing poems along the river, and having a good time with you!"

Huang Zhong said with a smile.

The recent battle was very easy.

They only need to absolutely obey Xi Yu's command and dispatch, follow Xi Yu's combat strategy, step by step, first find a way to get a map of the surrounding area, then spy on the deployment of troops, and finally occupy the pass where the ambush can be buried, the valley mouth and the forest. , or destroy it directly.

Then they used black cavalry and white cavalry as threats to assassinate the generals around Lü Bu and destroy their food and grass, so that Lv Bu did not dare to set up camp in the wild, so he had to stay close to the city, thereby continuously oppressing the range of activities of Lv Bu's soldiers and horses.

Xi Yu wanted to use this strategy to gradually devour Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, then gather the people in the city, and eventually all the people in Qingzhou voluntarily surrendered.

However, if Xi Yu's strategy succeeds, to Lv Bu, it would be tantamount to slapping Lv Bu on the cheek.

I, Xi Yu, will take over the land that you, Lu Bu, can't manage, and then help you manage it. In the end, the people in the city will still be grateful to me, and even call you Lu Bu incompetent. So, how can Lu Bu not be angry? !

"What did you say?!" Xi Yu was shocked, and said loudly, "Brother, you are also called guarding yourself?!"

"The last time I told you to remember the words I told you to remember, now it seems that you forgot again!

Xi Yu sighed, unexpectedly, Cao Cao started making waves again and left the land of Xuchang.

……

A few days later, the golden sunset gradually disappeared, and the dark night slowly descended.

The Yellow River, the Jishui camp, and the camp of the Chinese army built along the river.

While eating, Cao Cao looked at the map not far away.

Cao Cao ordered his scouts to make many improvements on the basis of Xi Yu's map, but continued to use the scale and labels created by Xi Yu, and later used simplified graphics to construct lines.

Although the scouts' maps were not as good as Xi Yu's Baiqi, looking at the improved map, it looked much clearer and more detailed than before.

At this time, Cheng Yu, who had been standing beside Cao Cao, looked flustered and nervous.

"Prime Minister, Lu Bu is at the end of his rope now, but the poor should not chase after him, and give him a way out!"

"If we push Lu Bu too hard, I think Lu Bu will risk his life to resist. It's not easy for us. We might as well go back first. After the situation here is completely stable, it's good to come here again, and it's good to come here again!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled lightly while eating, "Hehe... Cheng Yu, when did you become so timid?"

"This, my lord, it's not because I'm timid, but because I act cautiously."

"Hahaha……"

Cao Cao tapped on the map with his chopsticks, and said calmly, "The defense strategy of our barracks now is to lure you into the urn."

"It's best for Lu Bu to come. I'm worried that Lu Bu will not dare to come. If Lu Bu wants to break through, he has to flee to the west. If he can capture the Yellow River, Jishui and other places in the west, Lu Bu can escape to Yuan Shao's side smoothly."

"In my opinion, Yuan Shaopifu will never lead troops to rescue Lu Bu."

Cao Cao was full of confidence, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Cheng Yu, to be a handsome and general, you have to have Mount Tai collapse before you still don't change your face!"

"This..." Cheng Yu was taken aback and muttered.

"What are you mumbling about? How about a little louder."

"Ah, I mean... Mr. Xi, you have romantic feelings."

"What? Feelings?" Cao Cao was very anxious, what the hell is this?

Cheng Yu thought for a moment, then quickly explained.

"Romance, doctrine, feelings," Cheng Yu thought for a moment, and said, "Probably, the pursuit of very beautiful things, such as writing poems along the river..."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Not bad, I call it Romantic Feelings? It's a really nice name."

"Cheng Yu! Remember, no matter when and where, no matter what happens, you must be steady and don't panic, and don't get angry. Anger will only reduce your wisdom and determination, understand?"

Cao Cao said earnestly and earnestly.

However, as soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a person suddenly came from the military tent at the gate with a gust of wind,

As soon as this person came in, he came in and opened the curtain, and came in with a gust of wind. Cao Ren's expression was extremely flustered, and he arrived in front of Cao Cao in a few strides.

"My lord, something is wrong, hurry up and leave, Lu Bu is rushing towards our Chinese army camp!!"

"What are you talking about?!" Cao Cao yelled, holding the food in his right hand, his face full of shock.

"My lord, Lu Bu knew you were in the army, yet he dared to take the initiative to attack you. From my point of view, Lu Bu is desperate and has no choice but to defend himself. Now Lu Bu is definitely going to fight to the death!!"

After saying that, Cao Ren glanced at Cao Cao, then gave the left and right guards and Xu Chu a look, and asked them to take Cao Cao away.

Cao Cao couldn't believe it, "Why do you want me to leave?! If you want me to leave, I will never agree!"

Cao Cao said disapprovingly, "Even if Lu Bu is really killed, I believe you will be able to kill Lu Bu for me. Even if you use arrows, you can kill him with random arrows!"

"Could it be possible that he, Lu Bu, dares to go all out?!"

Cao Cao's face was very displeased.

Seeing this, Cao Ren immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "We have already blocked it, but Lu Bu already has the intention of mortal death. I dare to conclude that Lu Bu definitely wants to die with the lord this time!!"

Yu Jin: "What?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes, looked nervous, and smiled slightly, "Hehe, is that right?!"

"boom!"

Cao Cao violently put the bowl on the dining table.

"Impossible!! Lu Bu is so fierce?!!"

Cao Cao's body shook violently, and his heart was very complicated, but now that Cao Ren had just returned from the front line, it meant that Lu Bu had indeed come to kill him.

Judging by Cao Ren's tone and expression, Lu Bu must have come this time with the intention of dying.

Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, "How many soldiers and horses did Lu Bu come this time?"

Cao Ren replied eagerly, "Lv Bu dispatched almost all the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou this time, and also transferred a large number of soldiers and horses in Qingzhou. The total number is definitely not less than [-]!"

"Furthermore, facing the encirclement, Lu Bu has no scruples at all, rushing fiercely all the way!"

Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao, "If we delay any longer, we will hardly have a chance to retreat!"

Xu Chu knew that Cao Ren would never be alarmist at this moment, and Cao Ren and others must have been unable to resist the rushing Lv Bu.

After thinking about it, Xu Chu immediately walked in front of Cao Cao. He was about to force Cao Cao to evacuate, but Cao Cao suddenly waved his hand and said loudly, "Don't panic!"

"Zhongkang, I order you to lead the troops to resist Lu Bu immediately. We occupy a high position here, looking down on Lu Bu. If his cavalry wants to come up, they must slow down. When the time comes, we will immediately push the rolling stone down. This will definitely block the charge of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses!"

"Go, go out and have a look!"

Prior to this, Cao Cao's camp had already prepared a lot of rolling stones and logs, in order to prevent the enemy from charging up, push the rolling stones and logs down, and use the slope to create a huge impact, injuring the enemy and defending the high slope camp.

Xu Chu was very excited and said, "No, my lord!! You must leave here quickly, and I will no longer have any scruples, just now I fought hard with Lu Bu!"

"I will never leave, come and take my sword!" Cao Cao said firmly, no one can change his decision at this moment.

Cheng Yu had no choice but to take the Yitian Sword and hand it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao immediately drew out his sword and strode towards the crowd.

Cao Cao has two swords in total, one named "Yitian" and the other named "Qingzhi".

After these two swords were reforged by Xi Yu, they are both the swords of the world. Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face became serious. He handed the Yitian Sword into Xu Chu's hands, and said solemnly, "Zhongkang, now I hand over the Yitian Sword to Xu Chu. For you, I order you to be the last person to charge, and you must cut off Lu Bu's head and come to see me!"

"My lord, this..."

Seeing that Cao Cao was so decisive, Cao Ren knew that he could no longer persuade Cao Cao to leave, so Cao Ren had no choice but to turn around and leave.

When Cao Ren met Cao Cao to report the military situation, there was a lot of delay. At this time, the sound of horseshoes gradually came from a distance, and Cao Ren thought to himself: Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are getting closer.

Cao Cao also heard the sound of horseshoes approaching gradually, and Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Using troops for righteousness is very shrewd. Once he knows that Pingshou City is empty, he will understand that it is Beihai Lv Bu who abandoned Pingshou City and rushed to attack us. At that time, Fengyi will definitely send troops to rescue us!"

"So, we only need to block Lu Bu's first wave of charge, as long as we wait until Fengyi's reinforcements arrive, there will be no danger."

"Zixiao, I order you to go out immediately to command the battle and continue to encircle Lu Bu!"

After saying that, Cao Cao immediately turned his head to look at Xiang Yu, and said, "If I die, go back to Xuchang and tell Xun Yu that Cao Ang is the lord, and you will do your best to help!"

"Master!!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu was terrified immediately, and even secretly said: If my lord, you are killed by Lu Bu, can we survive?
But at this time Cao Cao turned around straight away, and his heart was full of pride.

He walked out of the tent, opened the camp of the Chinese army, and looked from a distance: At this time, under the mountain road, there were all Lv Bu soldiers and horses from the plain. Thousands of arrows were fired from the camps on both sides of the hillside, but Lv Bu was fearless and fought hard. Fight forward.

Lu Bu sat down on the red rabbit horse, which was the number one war horse in the world. At this time, he galloped among the soldiers and horses to cooperate with Lu Bu's charge.

The camp of Lu Bu's trap followed closely behind, and his confidant general Gao Shun followed Lu Bu closely with a spear in his hand to protect him comprehensively.

Bingzhou cavalry, with tall horses and fierce soldiers, followed Lu Bu and charged towards Cao Cao's camp.

At this time, Cao Ren had returned to the camp, and immediately commanded three thousand cavalry to charge towards Lu Bu's soldiers and horses!

"attack!!!"

At the same time, Yu Jin and Li Dian led the vanguard and rushed down from the high slope, while the rest waited for the opportunity to push down the rolling stones and logs, this time blocking Lu Bu's cavalry.

"Rumble..."

There was a sound of horseshoes, and the dust was flying all over the sky.

The attack was so fast and fierce that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses had no time to dodge, and collided with the well-equipped heavy cavalry and tiger cavalry.

The straight cavalry led by Yu Jin and Li Dian occupied a high geographical advantage, and quickly swooped down towards Lu Bu's soldiers and horses. The huge impact force was like a stormy sea, and they rushed into the camp of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in an instant, quickly blazed a path, and then the two led the troops Quickly evacuated to the sides and returned to the camp on the mountainside.

The soldiers and horses led by the two had just returned to the formation, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired from both sides of the camp, shooting towards Lu Bu and others!

Arrows rained down, coming fiercely, Lu Bu and others did not expect it, Lu Bu's heart sank, his eyes were blood red, and his whole body was suddenly ignited with raging anger.

"Now, we have no way out, if we want to survive, then follow me to kill a bloody road and rush out!"

Lu Bu let out a high voice, and roared at the soldiers and horses.

After all, Lu Bu's feathers fluttered, Fang Tian frantically swung his painted halberd, and Lu Bu continued to hack and kill like crazy. Soon, the entire camp fell into chaos.

The screams continued, accompanied by the continuous howling of war horses.

The battle between the two sides became more and more intense.

The rolling logs and rolling stones continued to roll down, blocking the upward momentum of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and Lu Bu had to lead the troops to stop the offensive.

Lu Bu glanced behind him. At this time, there were less than 40 people around him, but Cao Cao's camp was very close at hand.

"Lu Bu, you are a family slave with three surnames, your grandpa Xu is here, today is your death day!"

Suddenly, Cao Cao's guards rushed out from both sides of Lu Bu, and the leader of a group of soldiers was Xu Chu.

Xu Chu suddenly shouted loudly like thunder, which made the veins on Lu Bu's forehead bulge continuously!
"Ah, you have humiliated me so much, I will kill you today!"

"Ang Ang..."

Lu Bu was furious, suddenly raised his right hand, and the reins were instantly lifted. The red rabbit horse immediately leaped high and neighed. A thick white mist.

Lu Bu couldn't bear the anger in his heart, so he rushed towards Xu Chu violently.

In an instant, the two figures quickly staggered and attacked each other.

"Clang..."

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Lu Bu felt his mouth go numb. He really didn't expect that Xu Chu's strength was equal to his own.

Lu Bu's bravery, and Xi Yu's subordinates, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, all want to be strong.

"Whoosh!"

After fighting Xu Chu with a halberd, Lu Bu swung Fang Tian's painted halberd again, with great force, and chopped down at Xu Chu!
Xu Chu waved his hand suddenly, and immediately blocked Lu Bu's fatal blow.

Xu Chu actually blocked Lu Bu's fatal blow. Seeing Xu Chu and Lu Bu fighting fiercely with his own eyes, Cao Cao's hanging heart was finally relieved.

Xu Chu successfully blocked Lu Bu's attack!

Seeing that the best time came, Cao Cao immediately drew a sword from Cheng Yu's waist, and then he stood alone on the highest general platform, and everyone could see him immediately.

Cao Cao suddenly held the sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "Lü Bu has been surrounded!!"

"Lu Bu is dead, kill Lu Bu's army immediately!!"

"Siege me to the death, everyone must not fight timidly, must hunt and kill Lu Bu!!"

When Cao Cao yelled, all the soldiers behind him immediately yelled out.

"Chasing and killing Lu Bu!!"

"Lu Bu is actually dead?!"

"Kill Lu Bu!!"

The yelling and cursing continued, and Xu Chu soon fought with Lu Bu. Xu Chu possessed the power of brute courage, while Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, which was ferocious and frightening.

So he quickly revealed his suppressed posture.

"Behead Lu Bu... Lu Bu is dead!!" Someone came galloping and shouted even louder.

Lu Bu was very panicked and worried, and he turned around and roared, "Bastard, idiot, take a look at each one, I, Lu Bu, am alive and well!"

"I, Lu Bu, am not dead at all, everyone, don't panic! Don't panic!"

Lu Bu was very shocked and excited.

Those soldiers and horses who failed to rush up saw Cao Cao waving his long sword on the stage, and heard him threatening Lu Bu's death, all of them lost their minds and fell into chaos.

Lu Bu and the rest of the soldiers don't know where to go now.

"General^...is he really dead?"

"If the general is not here, what should we do?"

"In my opinion, at this moment, it is better to retreat first to preserve our strength. If the general is captured, we will have a chance to rescue the general!"

"If the general is really dead..."
