Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 633 Under Xiapi City!

The battle in Xuzhou was raging, and the hundreds of thousands of Hebei troops were fully fired. The reports of Xuzhou's battle continued to spread to Cao Cao like snowflakes.

Since the defeat at Guandu, Cao Cao has almost never had a peaceful night's sleep. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and his brows were always furrowed as he watched the battle reports.

"My lord, the morale of the army is low. Lu Bu personally led the Hebei army, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Everywhere is in danger."

Gently putting down the battle report in his hand, Cao Cao raised his head and stared at Cheng Yu and Xun Yu with his bloodshot eyes.

"I intend to retreat to Xiapi and lead Hebei to divide the troops so that there will be a turning point to last until the cold winter."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, the two looked at each other in shock, and finally Xun Yu clasped his fists solemnly and said in a deep voice, "My lord, we still have a few more to retreat!"

The silent Cheng Yu raised his head and objected: "It doesn't matter if you retreat or not. The cavalry in the Hebei Army have been roaming around in recent days, and Xuzhou is already a mess."

After all, the reason why Xuzhou couldn't hold on was that he was leaving Chang'an. If Li Tang still had the strength, how could Lu Bu dare to lead his army so arrogantly to let go of the fight.

The Hebei army, which has no worries, has let go of its hands and feet. In just half a month, the battle reports from all over the country are either defeated or called for help.

"Report~ My lord, that is, General Cao Xiu has been defeated in Qiucheng! General Cao Xiu has died in battle!"

The messenger suddenly gave an urgent report, and Cao Cao laughed sadly after listening to it in a daze, "My son of the Cao family is very good, and there is no coward."

"Decree, I will lead an army of [-] to defend Xiapi, and generals from all over the world will defend the city!"

This time Cao Cao made a determined decision to hold on, no one will come to help him, he can only rely on himself.

Retreating to Xiapi, regardless of Lu Bu's army of more than 30, who need someone to guard after the attack, he still holds half of Xuzhou in his hand.

The 30 troops attacked separately, and Lu Bu was able to deal with his army of about [-] at most.

In mid-November of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 A.D.), King Wu Lu Bu personally led an army of 30 to conquer Cao Cao in Xuzhou, breaking through several cities. Cao Cao led the troops and retreated to Xiapi City.

Lu Bu personally led an army of 15 soldiers to the city of Xiapi, and the flames of war in Xuzhou did not weaken. General Yang Lin was ordered to fight in the east and west.

Cao Cao led more than 15 troops in Xiapi City to stand firm, and [-] Hebei troops surrounded Xiapi.

Anyone with insight knows that as long as Cao Cao survives until the snowy winter comes, Lu Bu will definitely retreat, Xuzhou's crisis can be solved, and there will be a chance to fight again next year.

In the Hebei camp under Xiapo City, Lu Bu roared furiously: "Damn it, the 15 Cao soldiers make it difficult for the [-] troops to advance!"

After seven consecutive days of storming, not to mention the casualties of the army, they did not reach the top of the city. As the weather became colder day by day, Lu Bu couldn't help becoming restless.

Seeing that it was the end of November, heavy snow might come one day, and this time it brought an army of hundreds of thousands. If tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses could still hold on, how could hundreds of thousands hold on.

"My lord, you can dig the water from the two rivers of Sishui and Yishui to irrigate the city!"

Lu Bu was anxious, and the soldiers under his command were also anxious, and the morale of the army began to weaken. In the cold weather, except for the patrolling soldiers in the Hebei barracks, the rest of the soldiers hid in tents to keep warm.

All the generals in the tent were startled when they heard Guo Jia's suggestion, and several of them turned pale and shouted in horror: "Your Majesty, you must not."

"If the city is flooded with water from the Yi and Si rivers, it is impossible to say whether the city of Xiapi will be broken, but the people will definitely suffer heavy casualties. It will affect the reputation of the king and the land that rules Xuzhou~"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you do this, your prestige will be ruined."

The civil servants in the tent shouted anxiously one by one, this winter is coming soon, not to mention winter, it is unknown how many people will survive after the river floods the city of Pi under the cold weather.

And more importantly, fame!
After hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes were filled with emotion, but after seeing the opposition from the people in the tent, he waved his hands and snorted coldly, "Fengxiao's plan should not be mentioned again, order the three armies to continue attacking the city!"

promise!
Guo Jia kept his head down and said nothing, but after Lu Bu glanced at him for the last time, he snorted coldly showing his dissatisfaction, and flung his sleeves away.

Guo Jia, who watched this scene, lowered his head and smiled wryly. It seemed that he was about to follow the path of Wenhe.

After the generals and officials dispersed, Guo Jia just walked out of the tent with a wry smile when someone behind him called him, when he looked back.

Zhou Yuruo, who was handsome and extraordinary in silver armor, looked at him with a smile, "Military Master Gong Jin led five thousand troops to the rear, General Hao Meng and the Surabaya area."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu cupped his hands slightly with a sunny smile, turned and left. When Guo Jia realized it, he looked at Zhou Yu's leaving back with a solemn look in his eyes.

After Zhou Yu's back disappeared in front of his eyes, Guo Jia went back and forth to return to the handsome tent, while Lu Bu sat quietly above him.

Seeing that Guo Jia didn't have the blaming expression just now, instead he looked heavy, "Is there anyone for Feng Xiao?"

It's true that Lu Bu was moved, and he was determined to destroy Cao Cao, but now that his status is different, he can't smear his reputation at will. Although it's nothing in this troubled world, but if you can't do it, try not to do it. Do.

Guo Jia, who walked into the tent, sighed softly, "My lord, General Hao Meng is leading the army in Surabaya. You only need to give a hint, and General Hao Meng will surely go through fire and water for your lord."

"But the Yishui area is Gongjin!" After saying the word "Gongjin", Guo Jia carefully raised his head to observe Lu Bu's expression.

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and then his face showed a look of surprise, squinting at Guo Jia and snorting coldly.

"Feng Xiao is so courageous!"

"My lord, just now Gong Jin noticed it, and even contacted Jia outside the tent." Guo Jia didn't dare to mess things up.

Hao Meng!Zhou Yu!These two kept flashing in his mind, Hao Meng was brought out from Bingzhou by him, and he was definitely his confidant and beloved general.

In terms of ability, they may not be as good as the generals in the army, but in terms of loyalty, they are definitely among the top few.

"Hao Meng and Zhou Yu are lonely and loving generals, so don't let them lose!"

He raised his head and saw Lu Bu's deep eyes. Guo Jia nodded his head lightly, and slowly retreated with his hands clasped.

That night, Hao Meng and Zhou Yu appeared together in Guo Jia's tent, and Zhou Yu seemed to know what it meant.

Only Hao Meng was the only one who was tall and thick, stroking the beard on his chin, and kept looking at Zhou Yu with his eyes, as if he was asking what was going on, why the military adviser invited them.

The two sat on both sides, but Guo Jia took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "Now the army stops at Xiapi and will not enter. Once the heavy snow falls, the lord will definitely retreat, and the danger in Xuzhou will be solved. Cao Cao can recuperate. It is necessary to mobilize the army and attack Xuzhou again."
