Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 617: Yuan Shu's Defeat
Cao Cao instantly figured it out. After the eight thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were wiped out last night, he could count at most three to five thousand cavalry in the army.

As for the Hebei army, tens of thousands of iron cavalry can be mobilized easily. If Lu Bu is interested, tens of thousands of iron cavalry can be recruited again from the four prefectures of Hebei with a wave of his hand.

Now let alone Lu Bu dispatching cavalry from the rear, as for the tens of thousands of cavalry in Guandu right now, he has no choice but to be completely passive.

Cao Cao is frowning, all he can do now is to delay the time, so that Li Shimin's 15 army can achieve further results in order to have a delay.

When Lu Bu returned to the camp, he frowned, and the generals in the tent did not dare to show the joy on their faces after seeing it. They looked at each other curiously, as if they were wondering why their king was so depressed.

You must know that the results obtained this time are absolutely huge. Regardless of the heavy casualties in the storming of Cao Jun's camp, Cao Cao did not lose too many soldiers and horses.

But you must know that Cao Cao's surprise attack on Guandu this time, but the accumulated cavalry family has almost defeated him.

As far as the situation of the armies of both sides is concerned, only their Hebei army is attacking at this time, and Cao Jun can only stare and wait to be beaten.

Luo Shixin of Puban was seriously injured and had just recovered during this period of time. Unexpectedly, Pei Yuanqing almost died, which was not good news for Lu Bu.

Pei Yuanqing and Luo Shixin are both young generals in Shinjuku in his army. After several years of training, they are not inferior to the generals under his command, and they even plan to pave the way for his son.

At noon, when Flying Eagle came with a message, Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Yuanqing's life was finally saved, but this time he was seriously injured, and he would not be able to go to the battlefield in two or three months.

"Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao's cavalry has been completely lost, our army can postpone the attack on Guandu, and use the cavalry in the army to roam around Cao's camp day and night to lose courage."

The corporal under his command couldn't help but said, the generals also felt reasonable after hearing the words and nodded frequently, but Lu Bu turned his head to look at Guo Jia after hearing this.

Guo Jia nodded slightly with a chuckle, agreeing with this conservative plan, after all, Cao Jun had lost his offensive fangs.

Although they lost their fangs, Cao Jun still had the Guandu strong battalion defending. A strong attack may not be the best strategy at that time.

"It is good to order the three armies to recuperate for three days, and all the cavalry will be sent out. It is only necessary to make Cao Mengde restless."

promise!
The biggest result of the battle this time was not that Cao Jun lost all his courage, but that Cao Jun's cavalry was completely wiped out. No matter how fierce a toothless tiger is, it can't match the wolves with their teeth and claws.

"By the way, my lord can order Cao Jun to surrender in the next three days." When Guo Jia squinted and said this with a smile, it was obvious that there was a tricky smile.

At this time and at that time, the decline of Cao's army is obvious. On the other hand, the Hebei army is not only imposing, but also has an army of 20 in the rear.

In this case, persuading surrender is much more useful than before.

After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded to Guo Jia and said, "Following filial piety is not only about the generals of Cao's army, but also the lands under Cao Cao's rule. It is also persuading to surrender. It is best to have a few aboveboard rebellions. The best way to break down the morale of Cao's army."

A word from the superior can cause the inferior to break their legs. At this time, Guo Jia smiled wryly and understood the meaning of this sentence thoroughly.

It's easy to persuade the surrender, but it may not be easy to make the generals or ministers under Cao Jun's rule to rebel openly.

"My lord, Jia will do his best." Although the hope was slim, Guo Jia still bit the bullet and nodded.

"Okay, everyone, go down and rest first, Cao Jun is not far from defeat."

"Follow the king's order!"

All the generals clasped their fists together and exited the big tent. It would be a lie if they said they were not tired after a hard night's battle. It can be said that after a meal, in the hot weather, the tired eyelids of nearly 20 soldiers in the army were trembling. up.

When the king's order was issued, the soldiers of the three armies cheered and shouted excitedly. After the soldiers guarding the camp were left behind, the rest of the soldiers returned to their tents and fell into a deep sleep.

In this battle, all the elite cavalry of the Cao army were wiped out, and the blow was unprecedented. As time went by, the cavalry scout You Ge of the Hebei army was everywhere on the Guandu battlefield.

If Cao Jun doesn't want to be blind, he must have his own eyesight, which is the so-called scouting, but the disadvantage is particularly obvious after losing a large number of cavalry.

The casualties of the scouts over the past few days have lowered the morale of Cao Jun's camp. Less than two days after the results of the battle at Guandu, Xu Rong, who had already led Puban under Feiying's message, learned of the results.

"General, Guandu's victory over Cao's army won't last long. Shall we give Li Tang's rebels a blow?"

The victory on the Guandu battlefield made the morale of the Hebei army high, and the generals in the army were all high-spirited, but Xu Rong suppressed the desire of the generals to fight by relying on the prestige in the army.

"Everyone, Li Shimin still has an army of 10,000+ in hand, and our army of [-] is more than enough to hold on and not aggressive enough."

Xu Rong's faint words completely made the generals understand what he meant. Attacking is impossible. Although some people are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do.

In fact, Xu Rong also has his own plans. The situation is very good now. If there is a turning point in Puban, even if there is no loss of ground, as long as Li Tang's army wins one or two games, the situation may change.

He was thinking about the overall situation. Only when Guandu fully respected the outcome of the battle and opened up the situation can he feel at ease. Otherwise, if there is a mistake here, then the army that Hebei has just recruited will even split up here, and then there will be a stalemate again. No more situation.

It was a heavy blow to the current situation, and further consumption would be detrimental to the Hebei army.

No matter how much the generals want to fight, but Xu Rong is determined to stick to it, and the generals are helpless.

After Yang Lin in Xuzhou learned of the results of the battle at Guandu, he also ordered to suspend the attack. Instead, he began to spread rumors in Xuzhou.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. At this time, Cao Cao was like this. Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a clever plan to break the game.

In the Guandu Hebei camp, Lu Bu looked at the latest battle report, frowned and finally let out a long sigh, rubbing his brows and sighing: "Everyone, Yuan Shu's army has advanced lightly, and the army has retreated. Liu Bian will lead the army to enter Yuan Shuzhi soon. down."

After hearing Yuan Shu's battle report, all the civil and military personnel in the tent were shocked. It can be said that the confidants here clearly knew the impact of Yuan Shu's defeat on the current situation.

Guo Jia took the battle report seriously and read it carefully, then he couldn't help but waved his hand fiercely, and said fiercely with a trace of anger in the corner of his eyes: "Damn Yuan Shu, it's really not the right time to lose."

"My lord, I can't wait any longer, I will order the storming officer to cross Cao's camp."

Lu Bu also supported his forehead. It would take at least half a month for the army from the rear to gather and arrive at the Guandu battlefield, but he couldn't afford to wait at this time.

"Order Zhang He, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun to take turns attacking Cao's camp."

"Flying Eagle passed a letter to Gao Shun, ordering his cavalry to come to Guandu first."
