The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 427

Lu Bu, Zhou Yu, and Xu Shu finally agreed on the steps to attack, and the general attack on Xu Du was being planned.

Although Cao Jun in Xudu City was always on guard against Lu Bu's sudden attack, he knew nothing about it.

Standing on the top of the city, Cao Cao watched the soldiers compete with arrows.

Most of the soldiers could not hit the target shot by Li Dian.

After all, Li Dian is a general, and he also has two arms.

Most of the arrows fired by Cao Jun could not reach the distance of the target at all due to lack of strength.

Even if Li Dian deliberately shoots the target very far, there will still be Cao Jun who can shoot the arrow to such a long distance.

There were indeed a few Cao Jun who fired arrows that reached such a long distance, but none of them were able to hit the target.

Watching the soldiers busy with their archery competition, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, "Who came up with this idea?"

"It's me." Guo Jia replied: "Although it will cost some arrows, it can cheer up the soldiers. They are busy here with archery competitions. Once Lu Bu launches an attack, he can't escape the eyes of the soldiers. Xu It will be a little more secure."

"Lü Bu had no intention of attacking before, but now that you make such a fuss again, he will not dare to come." Cao Cao said, "The soldiers and horses defending the city are similar to the enemy troops he brought. What are the chances of winning?"

He then asked Guo Jia: "Is there any deployment near the city gate?"

"The deployment has been made." Guo Jia replied: "My lord's elite tiger guards have been transferred to the vicinity of the city gate to be responsible for the security of the city gate. If Lu Bu really sent troops to fall from mid-air and try to open the city gate, they would be arrested. The Tiger Guards are tightly trapped. My lord is also aware of the capabilities of the Tiger Guards, and if they guard the city gate, even if Lu Bu sends all his trouble-relieving soldiers and trapping camps, they will not be able to do anything to us."

"Feng Xiao's deployment is indeed meticulous." Hearing Guo Jia's deployment, Cao Cao nodded and said, "I have Feng Xiao, so how can I be afraid of mere Lu Bu?"

"Your lord, you're wrong." Guo Jia said, "This time Lu Bu's crusade against Xudu, if the lord wins, there will never be another Lu Bu in the world, and the lord will lose a knot in his heart. If our army is defeated , I am afraid that if the lord wants to make a comeback in the future, it will not be so easy."

"For me and Lu Bu, this battle is a battle to the death." Cao Cao sighed: "I really don't understand why a character like Lu Bu can't be used by me?"

"Lü Bu once worshiped Ding Yuan as his adoptive father and killed Ding Yuan for a red rabbit." Guo Jia said: "Later he recognized Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father, but he also gave Dong Zhuo to him for the petty profit promised by the king. Killed. Do you dare to use a character like him?"

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Back then we all said that Lu Bu was a family slave with three surnames. In fact, it was calculated that this statement was given by Liu Xuande. Compared with Lu Bu, how many people did Liu Xuande vote for? Everywhere he went, There will always be some disasters. Anyone who dares to take him in will either be betrayed by him or die unexpectedly. Compared with Liu Xuande, Lu Bu is much better. I have also sent people to investigate. Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan because Ding Yuan had a quarrel with him, and tried to kill him secretly. He killed Dong Zhuo because Wang Yunxiao used his interests to let him understand what righteousness is. After all, Lu Bu had a later notoriety, and he was inseparable from Liu Xuande. open relationship!"

"What the lord said is true." Guo Jia replied: "The ridiculous thing is that Liu Xuande, who has done so many evil things, no matter where he goes, people will still think he is an honest old man. I can clearly remember that he was How did you participate in the Yidai Zhao to try to murder the lord, and how did you trick the lord into sending soldiers and horses to Yuan Shao?"

"That disgusting person, we don't need to mention it." Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Guo Jia: "The only opponent who can catch my eyes is Lu Bu. I misunderstood him back then, this time I have to deal with him He has a fight."

Looking at the Xuzhou army barracks stationed outside the city, when Cao Cao said these words, he felt like his blood was boiling.

Ever since he intended to assassinate Dong Zhuo back then, he hasn't felt this way since then.

It was Lu Bu who gave him the idea of ​​challenging a powerful enemy.

Although Lu Bu did not bring as many soldiers and horses as his, and although the number of counselors and generals around Lu Bu was not as large as him, he still felt that Lu Bu who came to Xudu outside the city would be the leader of his life. biggest rival! "

Standing beside Cao Cao in the dark, seeing the weird look on his face, Guo Jia persuaded: "My lord, don't think too much, we have already made arrangements, if Lu Bu really comes, he will probably be trapped in Xudu Inside the city. In this battle, our army may have a [-]% or [-]% chance of winning."

Cao Cao nodded, but the expression on his face was serious.

He did not make any comments on what Guo Jia said.

Although what Guo Jia said was meant to exalt his own soldiers, it was not completely unfounded.

Ever since Lu Bu led an army outside the city of Xudu, the defenders in the city had prepared strategies to deal with it.

The number of defenders is not much smaller than that of the Xuzhou army, and it is not so easy for the Xuzhou army to break through Xudu.

Holding the battlements with both hands, Cao Cao looked at the Xuzhou Army barracks outside the city, and muttered to himself: "Lu Fengxian, when will you send troops to attack me?"

Standing beside him, Guo Jia felt Cao Cao's uneasiness and anxiety from what he said.

What surprised Guo Jia was that there was a trace of unspeakable excitement accompanied by restlessness and anxiety.

Several emotions were intertwined in Cao Cao's body, making Guo Jia feel like he couldn't understand him.

Cao Cao stood at the top of the city, looking at Lu Bu's barracks.

Lu Bu was standing outside the barracks, also looking at him.

Cao Cao on the top of the city could only see the Xuzhou army walking around in the barracks, but because the distance was too far, he didn't recognize Lu Bu clearly.

But Lu Bu saw him clearly.

The distance between the two sides was very far, and Lu Bu also thought that he should not be able to see Cao Cao clearly at such a long distance.

But in fact, not only could he see Cao Cao clearly, he could even vaguely hear the conversation between Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

"We're going to attack tonight, why is Marquis Chu staring at Xu Du for so long?" Zhou Yu came to his side and asked him.

Without looking at Zhou Yu, Lu Bu's eyes were still fixed on Cao Cao's face on the city wall: "Guo Jia dispatched the Tiger Guards near the city gate, and Bo Fu and General Gao led the Troubled Soldiers and the Suppressing Camp to attack. More bad luck than good luck."

"How does Marquis Chu know that Guo Jia is deploying like this?" Zhou Yu would never believe what Lu Bu said, and he looked at Lu Bu in astonishment.

"If I say that I heard the conversation between Cao Cao and Guo Jia, would you believe me or not?" Lu Bu actually told the truth as soon as he opened his mouth.

"There are hundreds of steps from here to the city wall. Don't talk about people talking, even if the city wall collapses, you can't really hear it here." Zhou Yu said: "The big battle is coming, Chuhou, don't joke."

"Gong Jin doesn't believe it, and neither do I." Lu Bu said, "I just suddenly thought that Cao Cao would place the Tiger Guards near the city gate to prevent our army from opening the city gate. If Bo Fu and General Gao fail to succeed, We are passive."

"I just said that earlier, and I'm not sure that Guo Jia will definitely put the Tiger Guards there." Zhou Yu was still persuading Lu Bu: "The reason why Marquis Chu is worried is nothing more than thinking too much."

"The big war is coming, it's not a bad thing to think more at this time." Lu Bu said to Zhou Yu: "We need to make some small changes to the original deployment."

"How does Marquis Chu plan to change?" Zhou Yu asked him.

"I'm going to lead the paratroopers to capture the palace first." Lu Bu said, "It's up to you to let the air force glider rush to Xudu, and put on a stance that you will use the glider to rescue us from the inside. Cao Cao is worried that I will rob your majesty out of the city. The Tiger Guards will definitely be sent to attack the palace. At that time, Bo Fu and General Gao can lead the soldiers into the city."

"Absolutely not!" Lu Bu said his plan, and Zhou Yu categorically vetoed it: "Chu Hou's doing this is tantamount to seeking death. It is the biggest concession I have made to promise Chu Hou to lead the paratroopers to seize the palace. Now Chu Hou I want to enter the city earlier, and I have to lure the Tiger Guards. Dare I ask the Marquis Chu, do you know how many troops the guards have? And do you know how strong they are? Use mere paratroopers to counter Cao Cao The Tiger Guards, Chu Hou is simply crazy."

"Sometimes a lunatic is needed on the battlefield." Lu Bu patted Zhou Yu's arm lightly twice, and said to him, "I know exactly what Gong Jin is worried about. But you also need to know that once a war starts, this battle will be very important to me and Cao Cao." To put it simply, it is a life-and-death battle. If I lose, I will definitely die. If Cao Cao loses, I can capture Xudu and get His Majesty today.

"I also understand what Chuhou said." Zhou Yu replied: "But we can still retreat after the defeat. If Chuhou falls into Xudu, we will have no chance."

"It's not unreasonable for Gong Jin to worry." Lu Bu said, "But have you ever thought about how many Cao troops are behind us. Once we fail to break through Xudu, those Cao troops will seem to insert us The sharp knife in the back of the heart took our lives away. In fact, from the first day we came to Xudu, we have no way out."

"Retiring is mortal, advancing may be possible." Lu Bu continued: "Gong Jin should be able to understand my thoughts. Even if it is a mortal battle, give me a chance and let me do something that will make Cao Cao have nightmares all his life. madman!"

When Lu Bu said this, Zhou Yu knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it was impossible to persuade him to change his mind.

He had no choice but to say to Lu Bu: "After the Marquis of Chu enters Xudu and occupies the palace, he can lead his soldiers to guard the main gate of the palace. The walls of the palace are very high. Even if Cao Cao took the Tiger Guards past, if he wanted to enter the palace, he would have to break down the gate forcibly." Or climb over the courtyard wall. If they climb over the courtyard wall, Chuhou can order the paratroopers to shoot arrows and shoot them when they are about to jump into the palace. If they break through the main entrance of the palace, Chuhou can lead the paratroopers at the main entrance Fight to the death with the enemy. Although doing so will surely cause heavy casualties, it is also the only way to help Marquis Chu persist longer."

"I've written down what Gong Jin told me." Lu Bu held Zhou Yu's hands, stared into his eyes and said, "Gong Jin, my life is in your hands in this battle. Success or failure depends entirely on whether you lead the soldiers into Xudu in time. I will hand over the soldiers to Gongjin, and you must not let me down!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu." Zhou Yu said: "In case the troublesome soldiers and the trapping camp fail to open the city gate, I will lead the soldiers to climb up the ladder. Looking at the current situation, our army has the upper hand. It is the side that is attacking the city, but it is inferior to the enemy in all aspects, and it is ironic to say it."

He frowned, and then said very annoyedly: "Yuan Benchu ​​sent a hundred thousand troops here, but they only stationed at a place far away from Xudu, and put on a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Such an ally, at the beginning Marquis Chu shouldn't befriend him!"

"Gong Jin has led the army for so many years, but he doesn't understand it at all." Lu Bu said with a smile, "Where do allies come from in this world? All covenants are nothing more than interests, and covenants that involve interests are taken too seriously. It's exhausting. Gong Jin should not make such a mistake again in the future!"

"If our army really breaks through Xudu, and Yuan's soldiers dare to come here, we must not let them please." Zhou Yu said: "At that time, the Marquis of Chu can close the city gates and strictly prohibit Yuan Jun from advancing half a step. If they If you dare to move forward, the earlier covenant will be abolished."

"Yuan Benchu ​​sent people here this time, just to rob His Majesty from me." Lu Bu said: "In the early years, he didn't take Your Majesty seriously, and he even refused to admit that His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor. Now I can see from Cao Cao Taking advantage of His Majesty, trying to take His Majesty to Yecheng after I broke Xudu. He didn't think about it, how could there be such a good thing in the world, he sent troops to wait and see around Xudu, it seemed that he could grasp the situation of the battle at any time, but he But I overlooked a problem. It has always been our army to attack the city, and it has always been our army to confront Cao Cao. They want to get a share of the pie if they have done nothing. It depends on me who is holding this cup in my arms. Won't you break up with them?"

"It seems that Marquis Chu is ready to turn against Yuan Benchu." Zhou Yu said: "If Xu Du is really defeated, turning against Yuan Benchu ​​is not a bad thing."

"The Yuan family has many generals, and it is not a good thing to turn against him." Lu Bu said, "Yan Liang and Wen Chou ordered a hundred thousand troops to come to the vicinity of Xudu. The Yellow River natural barrier between us and the Yuan family has actually been lost. Without the natural danger of the Yellow River, it will not be easy to counter Yuan Benchu."

"When that day really comes, I have a plan to retreat the Hebei army." Zhou Yu said: "Tonight I will attack the city. While it is still early, the Marquis of Chu will also rest first. At night, when fighting with the enemy, It will take a lot of effort.”
