Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 429: Six Generals of Cao Wei! (Thanks to Yu Wushengchu for the monthly ticket support~)

Soon, Lu Bu saw a group of generals walking towards him.

The first one had a scar on his left eye that went from top to bottom, but he was not blind.

It was precisely because Cao Xing died early that Xiahou Dun did not become a one-eyed dragon!
The second one looks three points similar to Xiahou Dun, except that he is more rough.

There was a cunning look in his eyes. It was another powerful general of the Xiahou clan, Xiahou Yuan!

The third one had a thick beard, a brave look, and a hint of disdain in his eyes. He was Cao Cao's cousin, Cao Hong.

The fourth is a young man in his twenties, Cao Chun, who once led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The last one is Cao Ang, who looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, heroic and with a belt tied around his head!
As for Cao Ren, there is no need to elaborate on him.

Looking at the arrival of six Cao family warriors, Lu Bu was so surprised that he could not express it in words!
He immediately bowed to the six people and said:
“I never thought that one day, I would be able to become a family with all of you Cao family members!

"To have all of you brave generals now is like adding wings to a tiger!
"Why worry that we can't wipe out the enemy forces in the north and achieve unparalleled feats together?"

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun and his companions did not expect that Lu Bu would actually say the same thing as Cao Ren and would treat them so courteously.

As a defeated general, he can still have such an opportunity.

Even though they had once looked down on Lü Bu for his humble origins, they now all put aside their contempt and clasped their fists towards Lü Bu, thanking him:

"We will fight to the death for Lord Chu!"

Lu Bu seemed more and more pleased, and immediately invited the six people to sit at the seat of honor.

But after sitting down, Lu Bu suddenly thought of Dian Wei, who was known as the best fighter on horseback, so he asked:
"Speaking of which, why didn't General Dian Wei, who is known as the 'evil of the ancient times', come?"

Among the six people, Xiahou Dun, who had the highest status, bowed and replied:
“Although General Dian is highly regarded by my brother.

"But it is precisely because of this that my brother was worried that something might happen on the way to escape, and he couldn't bear to see such a brave general die because of him, so he let him stay in Jizhou."

Hearing this answer, Lu Bu glanced at the six generals and noticed that they either had the surname Xiahou or Cao, and were all family members of Cao Cao.

Although Dian Wei was highly regarded by Cao Cao at this time, he was ultimately a person of an outsider family.

In addition, we have not yet experienced the historical Battle of Wancheng.

Although Dian Wei was considered a fierce general in Cao Cao's heart, he should not be considered a confidant.

Worrying that Dian Wei would expose his whereabouts was probably what the suspicious Cao Cao really thought.

But at this moment, he naturally would not point it out. He just stood up and toasted a glass of wine to each of the six generals.

Such an attitude also made the six people flattered.

The more Lu Bu looked at these six people, the more he liked them.

Apart from Cao Ren who had a broken arm and Cao Hong who had no glorious military achievements in history, they were slightly inferior.

The other four, including Cao Chun, who commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, were all first-class generals.

As for Cao Ang, although he was young, if he had not died early, he would definitely have left a significant mark in the entire history!
After some toasts and conversations, Lu Bu and the six people became much closer.

He then chatted with the six people about the situation in Jizhou and learned that Cao Cao had always been unwelcome in Jizhou.

Seeing that Yuan Shao had only three counties left and had no way to retreat, and was planning to surrender to Liu Bei, he fled with the six of them.

After all, these generals were not very smart and were easily tricked by Lu Bu into revealing Cao Cao's true situation.

From this point of view, Cao Cao should be alone in a village outside Wancheng now.

If you want to search, you can definitely find it.

But in this way, his intention to kill him would be exposed.

It’s better to wait until the other party completely trusts him and comes out before talking about it.

Next, Lu Bu asked the six people:
“Right now, our army plans to attack Liu Bei while his power is not yet consolidated.

"I wonder if the generals have any ideas or suggestions on where I should attack first?"

Hearing this question, the six people looked at each other and hesitated. At this time, Xiahou Miao suddenly said:

"In my opinion, Duke Chu may want to attack Xuzhou first.

"Firstly, Liu Bei's main force needs to stay in Jizhou to appease the local soldiers and civilians, so Xuzhou must have relatively few troops.

"Secondly, if we attack Xuzhou, neither Liu Xie nor Gongsun Zan will be able to provide effective support!"

After listening to Xiahou Yuan's advice, Lu Bu felt it made sense.

As expected of a famous general of Cao Wei, he really has something.

Of course, Xiahou Yuan did not explain it in too much detail.

Where and how to attack depends on you and your advisers.

Taking advantage of the banquet, Lu Bu also discussed the specific attack targets with his subordinates.

I believe that there was false information deliberately leaked to the traitor during the last attack on Pei State.

Even if the traitor knew their attack target this time, he would not dare to pass the uncertain news to Zhuge Liang easily.

At this time, Chen Gong held up a glass of wine, toasted to Lu Bu, and said:
"What General Miaocai just said does make sense. Attacking Xuzhou is our best option at the moment.

"Firstly, half of Xuzhou's territory is already within our military's territory, and secondly, Xuzhou has an important strategic position.

"The terrain is flat, which is suitable for our cavalry to fight. The climate is also suitable for agricultural development.

"If our army can occupy the entire Xuzhou, it will also be of great benefit to the accumulation of our national strength!"

After hearing what Chen Gong said, Lu Bu was somewhat suspicious whether this man was a spy.

But it is undeniable that what the other party said does make sense.

And the other counselors had no intention of objecting.

So Lu Bu followed the other party's words and asked:
"In that case, Gongtai, which county do you think has the best chance of success if we attack it?"

Chen Gong shook his head slightly:

"Right now our army has an overall advantage in terms of military strength. It will be difficult to put pressure on Liu Bei's army by attacking just one place.

"In my humble opinion, you can send troops to Pengcheng and Donghai at the same time.

"We can only make the next plan after we take over these two places at the same time."

After listening to Chen Gong's advice, Lu Bu still felt it made sense.

However, he turned his head to look at Lu Su, who was only drinking and not talking, and asked:
"Zijing, what do you think of Gongtai's suggestion?"

Lu Su glanced at Chen Gong. As he was always gentle, he naturally would not conflict with others.

He also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Chen Gong said, so he replied:
"Gongtai is right. My Lord, you can now consider a specific attack plan."

Seeing Lu Su say so, Lu Bu finally felt a little relieved.

But how to attack next is the most important thing.

Therefore, it was not appropriate to discuss this matter with outsiders present, so he smiled and said:

"We'll discuss the details tomorrow. We have guests here today, so let's have a good drink first!"

Having said that, Lu Bu toasted Xiahou Dun and the other six people with a glass each.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

Lu Bu, drunken, was about to return to his bedroom to have a deep conversation with his wives and concubines.

However, when passing through the garden in the middle courtyard, I saw a lonely and gentle figure here...
