Lu Bu practiced the camp of troubled soldiers and trapped troops outside the city, and chose the place in the middle of the military camp.

Looking out from the walls of Xudu, I couldn't see what was being trained in the military camp.

The Cao army stationed outside Xudu City and waiting for the Xuzhou army to reveal their flaws, because the terrain of the area occupied was not high, it was even more impossible to see Lu Bu practicing in the military camp.

Since Lu Bu asked the paratroopers to practice jumping from a high place, the soldiers who were in troubled and trapped camp have become much more honest.

Although I still don’t really look down on paratroopers, I have become much more focused than before when listening to paratroopers explaining how to jump.

On the walls of Xudu, Cao Cao was unable to see what was being done in Lu Bu’s military camp. He was in a very bored mood at this time.

When the two armies fight, it's so satisfying to fight.

I am afraid that one side has clearly met the conditions for combat, but it is still stable there.

Especially the stable side was the attacking side, which made the defenders in the city very anxious.

"Lord, Lu Bu should not attack today." Guo Jia came behind Cao Cao and advised: "Let's go back and rest first. If Lu Bu really raises an army to fight, I will send someone to tell the lord."

"What did Fengxiao think Lu Bu is doing?" Cao Cao said: "It has been more than half a month since he has been here, and he has not launched an attack yet. I don't believe that the food and grass in his army can last for too long."

"Since the lord knows that the food and grass in Lu Bu's army cannot last for too long, why are you worried about him doing?" Guo Jia said: "If Lu Bu doesn't fight, the lord just happens to be free. Could it be that the lord is still looking forward to him to fight?"

"Of course I don't want him to fight, but since he is here, he will attack sooner or later." Cao Cao said: "It's really uncomfortable to hang like this."

"He likes this, so let him do this." Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "It's not early, and the dusk is about to pass, so the lord will go back to the mansion to rest first. It took too much effort at this time. When Lu Bu really attacks Xudu, the lord may not have the energy to command the soldiers to defend the enemy on the top of the city."

"The army besieged the city, how could I have the heart to go back and rest." Cao Cao said: "I besieged Xia Pi back then, but now, Lu Bu besieged Xu Du. It can be seen that if anyone is stronger in this world, it may not always be strong."

"Lu Bu just arrived outside Xudu City. His troops were not as many as lords, his advisers were not as many as lords, and his generals were not as many as lords." Guo Jia said: "The only thing Lu Bu can be proud of is his air force. However, we have crossbows and thunderbolt chariots, can we still be afraid of his air force?"

After Guo Jia explained this, Cao Cao's mood improved a lot.

He nodded and said to Guo Jia: "Those who know me are filial, and they really understand my thoughts best."

"If your lord doesn't feel irritable, please go down the city wall first." Guo Jia urged Cao Cao to leave again.

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "I feel at ease if there is Fengxiao here. I have been watching Lu Bu these days, and I am indeed a little tired. I will go back first. If Lu Bu raises troops to attack the city, I will send someone to inform you immediately."

"Don't worry, lord." Guo Jia said: "I will never watch Lu Bu attack the city, and I still can't find a way to deal with it."

Nodding, Cao Cao greeted Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, let's go!"

Xu Chu accompanied Cao Cao down the city wall, and Li Dian, who was responsible for patroling the city wall, came to Guo Jia.

Seeing Cao Cao leave, Li Dian asked Guo Jia: "Why did Fengxiao insist on his lord leaving?"

"The lord stays here, and it is said on the surface that it can make the soldiers more morale." Guo Jia said: "But in fact, he is on the top of the city, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

Li Dian nodded and replied, "Fengxiao has come to the point. When my lord is here, I dare not slackew on the slightest, for fear that he will make any mistakes."

"It has been more than half a month since Lu Bu came to Xudu. No matter what preparation he is doing, it should be almost the same." Guo Jia said: "In the past few days, he is likely to launch an attack on Xudu."

Looking at Guo Jia, Li Dian asked, "How does Fengxiao think Lu Bu will attack the city?"

"You are not going to use the Air Force." Guo Jia replied: "He has an air force that can fly in the sky, and he can enter the city from mid-air. Why do you need to get the soldiers to set up a ladder to attack the city? The Air Force has the benefits of the Air Force, but it is not completely without any disadvantages. For example, if they approach the city wall, our crossbows and thunderbolt chariots will definitely cause them to be severely damaged."

"When our army used crossbows and thunderbolt chariots to bring a lot of casualties to the air force under Lu Bu." Li Dian said inconspicuously: "I always feel that Lu Bu should have improved the air force. At least he should change the air force to the height that our crossbows and catapults cannot easily hit the target."

"The air force flies too high, and landing is also a problem." Guo Jia smiled slightly and said to Li Dian: "The enemy is outside the city now. General Li dare not slackewer at all. He needs to be careful at all."

"No need to remind Xiao, I have made arrangements long ago." Li Dian said: "As long as Lu Bu dares to let the Air Force come, I can ask them to lose their armor and never covet Xu Ducheng again."

"Of course I know Mancheng's ability." Guo Jia said: "But Lu Bu does have some skills now, but you must not underestimate him."

"I understand everything, don't worry." Li Dian replied.

If the general said this, Guo Jia would definitely not believe it easily.

But when Li Dian said this, Guo Jia couldn't believe it.

Li Dian is one of the few generals under Cao Cao who are good at wisdom and strategy.

In terms of martial arts, he is a little worse than Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others, and he is even no match for Yu Jin.

But when it comes to Zhiluo, those generals can only stand aside.

It is precisely because Li Dian is good at using troops that he often shows his surprise, which catches the enemy off guard and suddenly has a considerable prestige among the Cao army.

Moreover, every time there was a war in the past, Cao Cao always liked to order Li Dian to accompany the army as the deputy general.

Although the main general determined the entire combat strategy of the army, Li Dian, as the deputy general, was able to make suggestions to the main general and correct the wrong decisions in a timely manner.

"It's good that Mancheng has confidence." Guo Jia said to Li Dian: "Master Cao has gone back to rest. While Mancheng stared at Lu Bu, he also had to pay attention to rest. Lu Bu has been stationed outside the city for so long, and he is trying to attack Xu Du, but we don't know what he will do."

"No matter what he does, I will defend the city wall." Li Dian said: "There are also many soldiers arranged near the city gate, and any suspicious ones will be captured. Even if Lu Bu put all his air force near the city gate, he will not do anything to us. You must know that there are many people, and they can often play a decisive role in the battlefield."

Guo Jia deeply agrees with what Li Dian said.

He nodded and said to Li Dian: "Mencheng's ability even admits his lord. You said so, and I also feel that Lu Bu has no chance of winning this time when he attacks Xu Du."

"The chance of winning?" Li Dian curled his lips and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao can watch. Lu Bu came to Xudu this time, and Guan Bao finally wanted him to come and go."

"It's not too early, and the guards on the city are still in patrol." Guo Jia said to Li Dian: "The soldiers have been staring at Lu Bu for several days, and there has been no sign of him going to fight yet. Many soldiers are absolutely tired. They can be tired, but we are urging them. But we must not be negligent at all."

"Would you go and rest?" Li Dian said to Guo Jia: "It's enough to have me on the top of the city, so there's no need for us to stay here."

"Before the lord left, I told him that if there is anything, I will report it to him immediately." Guo Jia replied: "If I go and rest, will Mancheng send someone to tell me first, or will he send someone to tell me first?"

Li Dian was stunned by his question, but he didn't expect how to answer.

First, let Cao Cao know the enemy's siege. When Cao Cao left, he clearly entrusted Guo Jia to report the news to him, so he must have cheated Guo Jia.

If Guo Jia first informed him of the situation and waited until he sent someone to inform Cao Cao, it would be too late.

Knowing that Li Dian was not easy to answer, Guo Jia smiled and said to him: "Since I stayed here, I wouldn't go to rest easily. If Mancheng was willing, how about accompanying me on the top of the city?"

"I have free time for me to accompany you, so I won't delay anything." Li Dian responded and accompanied Guo Jia along the city wall.

Walking along the city wall, Guo Jia reminded Cao's army from time to time to cheer them up.

When he didn't remind him, Cao Jun was all depressed and looked tired.

Only when he reminded the soldiers opened their eyes and straightened their chests.

But after he and Li Dian passed by, the Cao army who had stood up straight looked depressed again.

Of course Guo Jia discovered this situation.

He said to Li Dian: "Mancheng, Lu Bu only surrounded and did not fight outside the city, which seemed to have really brought us a lot of trouble."

"What kind of trouble does Fengxiao think he has brought us?" Li Dian asked afterwards.

Guo Jia said: "Did Mancheng notice that Lu Bu did not attack, and the soldiers had long been tired. Many soldiers definitely thought that Lu Bu would not attack, at least not launch an attack in the short term. Once such emotions spread in the city, when the enemy came, we would definitely be caught off guard."

"Of course I've discovered it." Li Dian frowned and said, "But I couldn't think of a solution. The soldiers were all tired. All I could do was to urge them..."

"It's not possible to just urge it." Guo Jia said: "If we want to think of a way to make the soldiers cheer up, we must at least focus on the enemy troops outside the city."

"What are the good ways to be filial?" Li Dian asked Guo Jia.

"It is better to let the soldiers compete for archery," Guo Jia said, "It should not be too complicated. Just let someone throw something out of the city and choose soldiers to shoot it. Anyone who shoots will be rewarded. The soldiers who participate must be more energetic, and those who do not participate will come to watch the fun. As long as people have something to do, their spirits will always be concentrated. We should not always pay attention to Lu Bu's troops, as long as they concentrate and don't look depressed."

"I understand Fengxiao's meaning." Li Dian said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will handle it again, so that the soldiers will be concentrated. When Lu Bu comes, he will definitely not be able to avoid our army's eyes and ears."

"I am certainly relieved to leave the matter to Mancheng." Guo Jia said: "It's not too late to let the soldiers compete now."

"Now?" Li Dian was stunned for a moment and said to Guo Jia: "It's at night. Even if the soldiers want to compete, there is no suitable target for them."

"Why didn't there?" Guo Jia said: "Mancheng can shoot a rocket out of the city, and let the soldiers fire arrows at the rockets. Whoever can shoot the rockets out will get a generous reward."

"The rocket can only burn for a moment. If someone fails to shoot an arrow and the fire is extinguished, is it his or the rocket itself?" Li Dian asked.

"If someone is lucky enough to be like that, of course he will be counted as his." Guo Jia said: "The rewards are easy to get, so the soldiers will have the intention to participate."

"I understand." Li Dian nodded and ordered the guards following him: "Tell the soldiers, just tell me that I want to check their archery skills. Whose archery skills are better and can shoot me out of the rockets outside the city and shoot me out, and you will almost get a hanging of copper coins."

"One hanging is not enough." The guard was about to leave, and Guo Jia said, "Tell the soldiers that it is two hangings."

There are 500 copper coins per hanging, and ordinary people can't use that much in a month.

The reward given by Li Dian can be said to be very generous, but Guo Jia thought it was too little and added half of it.

"If the lord knows, I'm afraid we will ruin the treasury." The guard sent an order, and Li Dian said to Guo Jia with hesitation on his face: "There are indeed too many copper coins on two hangings..."

"Who said we were going to get money from the treasury?" Guo Jia asked Li Dian.

He was stunned by his question, and Li Dian asked, "Fengxiao means..."

"Mencheng pays half of the money, and I pays half of it." Guo Jia said: "It is spread evenly on our heads, and Mancheng shouldn't feel that it's a lot."

"More! Of course!" Li Dian said: "How much is my monthly salary? If there are really a few who are skilled in archery and hit the target, wouldn't I give them the family's foundation? The salary for filial piety is much higher than mine, so of course I am not afraid. But I only have that little money..."

"If Xu Du is broken, let alone so much money, even the house belongs to someone else." Guo Jia interrupted him and shook his head in disappointment: "I think Mancheng is a visionary, but I didn't expect that when it comes to money, I was so stingy!"

When Guo Jia said he was stingy in person, Li Dian's eyes widened: "Fengxiao, don't over say anything. What's the point of just a few hanging coins? I'll let you go to my house to pick them up, but Fengxiao shouldn't cheat after someone gets rewarded! You know, cheating with the soldiers is not a clear decision."
