The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 377
When Cao Cao asked whether he should take the initiative to attack or wait for Lu Bu to come over, everyone glanced at each other, and it was Guo Jia who said, "I think it is better to stick to the attack."

"Lü Bu lacks armor now, and most of the protective equipment in the army is crudely made. This happens to be an excellent time for us to send troops." Cao Cao asked, "Why does the Fengxiao Society think it is appropriate to stick to it?"

"Although Pengcheng made a fuss because of the armor, the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command are not without armor." Guo Jia said: "My lord, don't think that he has no armor. Once our army goes out, Lu Bu will use the terrain to guard him. It will be extremely difficult to break through. If we don't fight him, but wait for him to enter Xudu, the land will be on the Lord's side."

"What do you think?" Cao Cao looked at the other counselors and asked.

"I have the same opinion as Feng Xiao." Xun You said first, "Lü Bu is growing stronger and stronger, and our army is going to attack him. Once he takes advantage of the territory, it will be difficult to get any benefits. If we wait for him to lead the army to attack, we will be on defense in advance. The army can occupy the advantage of the land. In all battles, the attacking side always consumes a lot more soldiers and horses than the defending side. The lord and Lu Bu have become immortal, so it is better to wait for him to attack and spend them After defeating it, follow up and pursue it. In this way, the lord's chances of winning may be greater."

Xun You made an analysis, Cao Cao twirled his beard and nodded.

After pondering for a moment, he asked the other counselors again: "Do you all think that it is better to stick to it than to attack?"

"We all think so." Xun Yu also said, "My lord's previous two crusades against Lu Bu were unsuccessful. If the crusade fails again, it will also be a big blow to morale. My lord must destroy Lu Bu, so why should he?" I don’t want to get rid of the lord’s oppression. Although Lu Bu sits in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, his foundation is not deep, and he is still not the lord’s opponent in terms of military strength and financial resources. If he defends, he still has the power to fight. If he leads the army to attack the lord, he will definitely fall. It’s a fate that comes back as a feather.”

"In fact, there is another advantage of sticking to it." Jia Xu also said from the side: "Our army's crossbows and thunderbolt chariots can be deployed in advance. As long as the two kinds of ordnance are deployed in arrays, Lu Bu's air force is nothing but useless. I heard that Lu Bu is practicing recently. Some soldiers and horses that can fall from the sky. They don't come with flying kites like the air force, but jump down in mid-air. When Lu Bu comes, our army only needs to set up Thunderbolt chariots and crossbows on high places, and we don't have to worry about those An enemy army that falls from the sky will not be wiped out."

Jia Xu had heard that Lu Bu was practicing paratroopers, so how could Cao Cao not have heard of it.

He nodded and said to everyone: "Since you all think that I should stick to it, then tell the soldiers to make preparations earlier. As long as Lu Bu dares to come, we will give him a head-on blow!"

Cao Cao made up his mind, and everyone stood up one after another, saying in unison: "I wish the Lord a victory!"

Before Lu Bu dispatched troops, Xu Du was already on the verge of a formidable enemy.

The atmosphere of war that permeated Xudu City made many people feel that the crisis was coming.

Many people living in the city fled with their families and their mouths, wanting to avoid possible wars.

There are also some common people who may have confidence in Cao Cao and the entire Cao family and have no intention of leaving, but they live in fear every day.

The people are afraid of the coming of war, but there is one person who yearns for Lu Bu to enter Xudu earlier every day.
