"You don't need to blame yourself. If Lu Bu really doesn't have this ability, he doesn't deserve to be called the best general in the world. It's good that you can come back alive." Cao Cao sighed: "The minor injuries will be healed in a few days."

After hearing this, Xu Huang felt even more guilty, but when he heard this, he saw that Cao Cao had other thoughts, so he retreated.

Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly in his heart. Sending Xu Huang to the battle this time could be said to kill three birds with one stone. First, it demonstrated Xu Huang's ability in front of the entire army, laying the foundation for Cao Cao's future reuse. After all, Xu Huang is a newly-reigned soldier.

General, my current situation is worrying, I don't have time to let Xu Huang get promoted slowly, if I want to reuse him, I have to keep the mouths of all the generals at bay, if I promote him after this battle, no one will be dissatisfied.

Secondly, Xu Huang was arrogant. Cao Cao had felt it earlier, and this time with the help of Lu Bu, he severely attacked his arrogance and made him understand that the world is big. Thirdly, Cao Cao's main purpose is to make Xu Huang return to his heart. This battle

For Xu Huang, all the generals under Cao Cao's command were harmed, and Xu Huang couldn't help but forget this favor. Judging from his performance, Cao Cao's goal has been achieved.

However, at this time, Cao Cao was not happy about Xu Huang's return. Instead, he was worried.

"My lord, are you worried about Lu Bu?" Xi Zhicai noticed that Cao Cao's expression was wrong and he thought something about it.

"Although this man is unfaithful and ambitious, his martial arts skills are truly unpredictable and difficult to deal with. We must not let him fall into Yuan Shu's hands!" Cao Cao said with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's lips twitched and he looked to the north: "Yuan Shu is already waiting around. It's not easy to capture Lu Bu!"

"Lord, this is not the time to think about this matter. Let's think about how to capture Huang County! Continuing with this stalemate is not an option!" Xun Yu frowned.

"With Lu Bu and Chen Gong here, it will be difficult to capture Huang County! What do you think?" Cao Cao said solemnly.

"The water flooded Huang County." Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and said in unison.

"Wouldn't that mean letting Yuan Shu's navy enter?" Cao Cao frowned. The only way to flood Huang County is to divert water from the North Sea, but Yuan Shu's navy is there. Once Cao Cao takes action, Yuan Shu's navy can directly

Drive straight in.

"My lord, do you think that without diverting the water from the North Sea, Yuan Shu will not be able to come in?" Xi Zhicai said with a bitter smile: "You must know that not only Gan Xingba, Zhang Wenyuan, Zhao Zilong and Zhou Gongjin are all watching in Yingzhou, tens of thousands of cavalry are coming to attack.

What can we do?"

Cao Cao's mood instantly dropped when he heard this. Now Yuan Shu is the swordsman and he is the flesh and blood. If Yuan Shao hadn't been taken into consideration, he might have already invaded Qingzhou.

"Lord, this is not to let Lu Bu defect to Yuan Shu. If we want to capture or kill Lu Bu alive, we have other methods." Xi Zhicai said with a flash in his eyes.

"What can I do?" Cao Cao asked with a happy face.

"My lord, don't forget, do we still have two secrets around Lu Bu?" The existence of Wei Xu and Wang has never been forgotten. Not only that, he has also been infiltrating other people under Lu Bu's command.

Military general.

"With Lu Bu's character, he will never surrender to Yuan Shu until he is in despair. Similarly, Yuan Shu will not help this tiger. As long as we act quickly enough and cooperate with these two secrets, we can definitely get ahead of Yuan Shu.

After capturing Lu Bu, my lord can either use him or kill him." Xi Zhicai said.

"Okay! There is no way to continue this stalemate. Just as you said, Zhicai, the water will flood Huang County!" Cao Cao could no longer bear it at this time.

...

One day later, looking at the rolling water in the city, Lu Bu's eyes were full of anger. He held a halberd in his right hand and struck hard, splitting the river water below, but he was soon submerged by the surrounding river water.

"Cao Mengde, you are indeed a small person. You dare not confront someone head-on, so you just use these conspiracies and tricks!" Lu Bu said bitterly.

Chen Gong looked at the submerged houses in the city and the panicked soldiers on the city wall, and sighed softly in his heart: "We have finally reached this point."

"Lord, the situation is over, let's surrender!" Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"Surrender? I have tens of thousands of troops in my hand and there is danger in Huang County. Why should I surrender?" Lu Bu said angrily: "The food and grass in Huang County is enough to last for half a year. Why should I surrender? I don't believe that Cao Mengde can besiege me like this.

For a long time, once the situation changes, I can fight back to Qingzhou and regain my strength!"

There are a lot of supplies in Huang County, which is also one of Lu Bu's relies on. Because it is very close to the sea, it was the trading place between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in the past, so a large amount of supplies are stored. Lu Bu said that it can be used to support the whole country.

Half a year is not a lie, but a real thing.

"Lord!" Seeing Lu Bu's unwilling look, Chen Gong sighed: "Now we are surrounded by Cao Mengde, and the city is flooded. The morale of the soldiers is completely lost, and we will not be able to hold on for long."

Fighting a war is not all about materials and troops. Even though Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao could not do anything to him, the same could not be said for his soldiers. Being besieged in a county that was like an isolated island, the morale of his soldiers was very low. If it were not for Lu Bu, who was the best in the world,

With just one general holding on, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

Lu Bu completely ignored what Chen Gong said and snorted coldly: "I have red rabbit horses and Fang Tian Huaji, and thousands of Bingzhou cavalry. What can Cao Mengde do to me?"

Chen Gong wanted to persuade him again, but Lu Bu turned around and left. He understood Chen Gong's intentions and concerns, but he was not willing to surrender to Yuan Shu. He was the best military general in the world. As a prince, how could he be willing to submit to others?

He will never be willing to face a desperate situation. Although he is facing a dilemma at this time, it is not a desperate situation. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not take that path.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's back and sighed softly. I hope so!

Thinking of the piece of information that Yuan Shu had sent to him a few days ago, Chen Gong's eyes flashed. Wei Xu, I hope you won't do anything to disgrace my lord!

He was aware of some of the things Wei Xu had done before, but as Lu Bu's brother-in-law, although Wei Xu was greedy for money, Chen Gong never thought about betrayal. Wei Xu himself was not capable enough, but he relied on Lu Bu's brother-in-law

Only with his status can he occupy a place under Lu Bu's command, and he is even listed as one of the six strong generals.

Ordinarily, Lu Bu treated Wei Xu so kindly, and this person should be content and grateful. At his level, even if he betrayed Lu Bu and defected to Cao Cao, he would not be reused. No one would trust a traitor, not to mention his extremely capable ability.

Generally speaking, just think about the final endings of several generals who betrayed Lu Bu in history. How could there be a good ending? Three of them, two died and one disappeared. Anyone with a little bit of sense understands the outcome of betraying the master, but Wei Xu did not.

This guy is extremely short-sighted and incompetent, and he can't see himself clearly, so he might actually be able to do something stupid like this.
