Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 62 The Battle of Puyang (2)

After Lu Bu was defeated and returned to the camp, he gathered the remnants of the army and called all the generals to discuss countermeasures.Lu Bu sat on the main seat with injuries, looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Since Lu Bu fought, I have never suffered such a defeat. Now, the enemy is less than twenty miles away from our army, and they may attack us at any time." The army launched an attack, do you have any good strategies? Let’s talk about it.”

"My lord! I think it's better to withdraw from Puyang, avoid the front for the time being, and let Li Song and Cao Cao fight. Let's look for another opportunity. When they both lose, we will make a profit again." Hou Cheng was already frightened by Li Songjun at this time. , I can't wait to leave Puyang immediately.

"That's right! We also agree with Master Hou Cheng's proposal!" Apart from Zang Ba and Chen Gong, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others also hurriedly said.

After hearing this, Lu Bu was furious. He was not willing to ask Lu Bu to withdraw from Puyang in such a disgraceful manner, but if he did not retreat, he might not know when Li Song's army would arrive. Two said.

"I remember that there are still some generals in the western camp. We can transfer them to the main camp, and then send people to Li Feng and Xue Lan, and order them to lead the troops." Lu Bu gave an urgent order after thinking for a long time.

"No! Marquis Wen! If you do this, Xun Yu will definitely not let go of the opportunity to attack our army from behind! In this way, Marquis Wen, there will be no chance of turning the tables. Please think again!" Chen Gong hurriedly dissuaded.

"That's enough! If we don't do this, will our army have to wait to die? I, Lu Bu, run across the world with a horse, stand upright, how can I be so useless!" Lu Bu roared angrily.

Seeing this, Chen Gong understood Lu Bu's thoughts, and suddenly came up with a plan for Lu Bu, "Wen Hou! I have a plan, maybe it will work."

"Oh! I don't know what a good idea it is! Tell me quickly!" Lu Bu was overjoyed after hearing this.

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said: "There are few generals in the Western Battalion. Calling the generals of the Western Battalion here will not help the matter. Why not use them as a surprise soldier and attack and kill Li Ying at night? Maybe you can make meritorious deeds!"

"After Xiang Yu's general successfully attacked the camp, our army will attack from the front and break through Li's camp in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Okay! Hahaha! According to Gongtai's words, Zang Ba, send people to Xiying quickly, and order the soldiers of Xiying to raid Li Ying by night."

"Promise!" Zang Ba hurriedly got up and responded, withdrew from the camp, and sent people to the west camp to convey Lu Bu's order.

"My lord! The spies have important military affairs to report." In Li Song's camp, Li Song, who was about to sleep, suddenly heard the report from the guards outside the tent.

It's so late, what military affairs can there be?Li Song said to the outside of the tent: "Let him come in and report!"

"No!" As soon as the personal guard finished speaking, a person came in from outside the tent, knelt down on one knee and said, "Meet the lord!"

"If you have any military report, please tell me quickly. It's late at night, and I still need to sleep." Li Song said.

"Report to my lord! This subordinate has just found out that Lu Bu sent someone to the west camp. I don't know what to do? This subordinate is afraid that his whereabouts will be revealed, so he dare not follow, so he came back to report to the lord!" the spy said.

"Okay! I got it! You go down first!" Li Song said blankly.

"No!" After saluting, the spies got up and left the camp.

What is Lu Bu doing?There are only a few major generals in the West Camp, even if they are all called in, it will not help the situation of the battle. There must be something I don't know about it.

What could it be?It stands to reason that Lu Bu's defeat this time should be to concentrate all his troops to fight against our army, or to withdraw from Puyang.

However, considering Lu Bu's personality, after suffering such a big loss, the first thing he should do is to concentrate his forces instead of retreating, let alone sending people to the West Camp.

If it can't be Lu Bu, then it is undoubtedly Chen Gong!Chen Gong is an upright and resourceful person, if it were him, he would not have sent back the generals of the Western Camp.

What could it be?Could it be that he wanted to sneak attack our army? Li Song walked back and forth, made many guesses, and finally came up with the answer of the sneak attack.

"Come here! Call all the generals to come here quickly!" Li Song shouted to the outside of the tent, the guards outside led the orders and hurriedly called all the generals to Li Song's tent.

"My lord! I didn't know that we were called late at night, but what happened?" Pei Yuanqing asked directly. With Li Song's temperament, if nothing major happened, he would have gone to bed early in the morning.

"According to the report from the spies! Lu Bu sent someone to the west camp. I wondered if he wanted to attack the camp tonight, so that's why he called you here." Li Song nodded and told the whole story.

Zhang Liao stood up and said, "Lv Bu and I worked together under Ding Inspector Ding. Lv Bu is more than brave, but lacks in strategy. He is a mercenary."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Gao Shun also stood up and said, "That's right! Lu Bu lost for a while today, losing more than half of his generals. With his temperament, he should gather his generals and fight against us."

"It is absolutely impossible to send only one person to the West Camp without passing orders to Li Feng, Xue Lan and others. I have heard that there is a counselor under Lu Bu's tent, whose surname is Chen Minggong, and his name is Gongtai."

"Thinking about it, it must be Chen Gong's plan! Order Xiying to attack our army at night, causing confusion in our army, and Lu Bu will lead the troops to fight our army again."

"That's right! I thought so too, that's why I brought you here. I decided to do whatever I can! Kill him to death." Li Song said.

"Yuanqing, you and Yuanba are lying in ambush around the camp, waiting for the soldiers of Lu Buxi's battalion to attack. You have to watch Yuanba carefully and don't let him make any trouble." Li Song nodded.

"No!" Pei Yuanqing agreed.

"Yu, Wen Yuan, Gao Shun, the three of you lead an army, lie in ambush on the halfway between Lu Bu's army and our army, wait for Lu Bu's army to come, kill the general, and be sure to capture him alive." Li Song ordered again road.

"Promise!" Xiang Yu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun replied.

"The others will follow me and quietly withdraw from the camp." Since he was planning to follow the plan, Li Song naturally planned to leave an empty camp for them, "Okay! Everyone, go prepare!"

The people withdrew from Li Song's tent, and each followed Li Song's arrangement. Under the cover of night, Li Song quietly withdrew from the camp and killed the Lv Bu spies who were close to the camp.

After receiving Lu Bu's military order, the generals of the Western Camp did not dare to be negligent, and hurried to Li Song's camp, "My lord! It's so quiet here, I think they must be fast asleep." A soldier said to the general of the Western Camp.

"That's right, it's late at night, when people are sleeping soundly, and now is a good time for us to attack!" The guard waved his hand, and under the cover of night, 1000 troops from the West Camp approached the camp quietly, but they didn't It was found that not far from them, pairs of eyes were looking at them.

They scattered in all directions, and some of them rushed into the tent, hacked and stabbed at the bed together, but after looking through it, there was nothing.

Some directly kicked over the brazier in the camp, and the flames ignited the tent, and the flames shot up into the sky, and he wantonly destroyed the empty camp.

"My lord! No one was found in the camp!" The soldiers came to report to the general of the west camp.

"Not good! We've been caught! Get out!" Just as the Xiying guard finished speaking, a feathered arrow shot directly through his throat, and he fell to the ground with a "bang!"

As soon as the guard died, these people fell into disarray. In the dark night, the rain of arrows shot them all to death in the camp. I can see the scene here.
