Chapter 369 I can't stand a small setback

After Xuzhou cleared the siege, Lu Bu originally planned to think carefully about how to avoid using open flames in coal mines.

He was planning to do this, but Cao Cao's decree for the attack and the edict issued by Liu Xie had actually been passed to him.

Cao Cao issued a manifesto and would send troops soon.

What Zhou Yu and others said is indeed correct. Once Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou, he would fall into a complete passiveness.

Instead of being passively beaten, it is better to take the initiative and attack Cao Cao first.

After issuing an order to go to the war, Lu Bu made specific adjustments and deployments.

Although Yuan Shao had issued a proclamation to fight against Cao, he did not use one soldier.

As long as Yuan Shao from Hebei remains unmoved, Lu Bu must be on guard against him.

In order to defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible, he could only mobilize a large number of troops to the Dangshan area, and the only way to Hebei to Xuzhou could only allocate a small number of troops to monitor the movements of Yuan's army.

He assigned tasks to the people of Xuzhou. After everyone dispersed, Lu Bu led Sun Ce to the Air Force camp.

Cao Cao had a strong military force, and most of the soldiers under his command were veterans. With Lu Bu's current ability, he would probably not be able to gain any advantage.

On the way to the air force camp with Lu Bu, Sun Ce asked Lu Bu: "Horse Chu is still planning to use the air force when attacking Cao Cao?"

"The Air Force is easy to use, of course it must be used." Lu Bu said: "With Cao Cao's way to defeat the Air Force, it is too late for us to develop a new aircraft. The only way is to study new tactics for the Air Force before going to war."

"Half Chu has a new tactic?" Sun Ce asked Lu Bu in surprise.

He couldn't figure out what other special tactics could the Air Force just fly in mid-air...

Lu Bu no longer explained and took Sun Ce to the Air Force camp.

When they arrived, Zhao Yun, who participated in the court discussion, had already returned.

When he heard that Lu Bu was here, Zhao Yun came out.

He bowed to Lu Bu and asked, "Why is Chu Hou coming?"

"I came here to see how the Air Force soldiers were preparing." Cao Shuo asked Zhao Yun: "How are the soldiers' emotions?"

"Since the Air Force's failure last time, the soldiers' mood has not been very high." Zhao Yun said: "The Cao army has a way to deal with us, and many soldiers think that they will not be useful in the battlefield in the future."

"Summon the soldiers to the schoolyard, I have something to say to them." Cao Shu ordered Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun ordered the captain who was following behind: "Tell the order to let the soldiers arrive at the school, and then say that the Marquis of Chu had something to say to them."

The captain was ordered to leave, and Lu Bu took Zhao Yun and Sun Ce to the schoolyard.

When they arrived at the school ground, Lu Bu climbed up the platform, while Zhao Yun and Sun Ce stood on both sides of him.

It didn't take long, and the Air Force soldiers rushed over.

They were not very large, and when they arrived at the school ground, they quickly arranged their formations.

"All of them are here?" Lu Bu asked Zhao Yun.

"Everything that should be coming is here." Zhao Yun replied.

"Since you're all here, I have something to say to you." Lu Bu raised his voice to the Air Force soldiers, shouting: "I just heard General Zhao say that many of you have an undesirable idea, believing that Cao Cao has a way to deal with the Air Force, and the Air Force will not play any role in the future battle with the Cao army."

What Lu Bu said undoubtedly hit the pain of the Air Force soldiers.

The soldiers all looked dark, and when they looked at him, their eyes were dim.

"Do you know what I thought when I heard General Zhao say this?" Lu Bu asked loudly to the soldiers.

There were thousands of air force soldiers on the school ground, but it was dead silent, so quiet that even the sound of the passing wind was clearly heard.

With his eyes swept across the soldiers' faces, Lu Bu continued, "If I had experienced many failures, I might understand you. However, in the battle of Dangshan, the Air Force suffered a loss, and you actually looked like you were lost as if you had no chance of winning again. For you, I can only say that I am really disappointed."

Lu Bu said bluntly that he was disappointed with the Air Force soldiers.

The air force soldiers on the school ground all lowered their heads, and they dared not to confront his eyes.

"I am disappointed, not because you are not brave enough, nor because you are not like men on the battlefield." Lu Bu shouted: "I am disappointed with you because you can't afford to lose! In every battle, how can you be immortal? You think that you can soar in the sky, look down at the enemy from top to bottom, and let the enemy take advantage of you. You can't help but lose your soldiers without losing one soldier, and let your opponent lose their soldiers. Unfortunately, you didn't expect that on the battlefield of Dangshan, the Cao army actually had a way to deal with you. They can shoot you who are flying in the air, and for the first time you know that soaring in the air does not have an absolute advantage. You know that there are still weapons to restrain the air force in this world. What you can't accept the most is that the weapon to restrain you is actually a crossbow arrow that was once inconspicuous."

The air force soldiers all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lu Bu for a long time.

With his brows slightly frowned, Lu Bu shouted: "Raise your head up!"

When the soldiers were shaking like this, they shivered and quickly raised their heads.

"Look at your cowardly look!" Lu Bu frowned and said to the soldiers: "I am not afraid of failure. I originally thought that the Air Force was not afraid of setbacks. But when I came here today, I found that I was really wrong. The Air Force could not afford to lose, even a little setback! You once thought that you were the pride of heaven, because there was no one else in this world that could soar in the sky except you. But today I want to tell you that a small setback would droop and a gesture of complaining about the sky. A Air Force like this would be like a pride of heaven, not to mention a pride of heaven, even a nonsense!"

After Lu Bu shouted, the Air Force soldiers raised their chests one after another. Although they still didn't know where to go in the future, they didn't dare to look like they were just now.

"There is nothing nonsense to say with you." His eyes swept over the formation listed by the soldiers, and Lu Bu shouted: "We will start a war with Cao Cao soon. Those who are willing to stay in the Air Force will cheer me up. If you feel that the Air Force has no hope, get out as soon as possible!"

Lu Bu got angry on the spot, and the soldiers subconsciously straightened their chests.

After glanced at the soldiers, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, let's go. I have something to discuss with you about the Air Force tactics."

Following Lu Bu down the high platform, Zhao Yun asked, "Master Chu, soldiers..."
