Yan Liang's camp is located next to the official road 70 miles away from Puyang, and there is no fence yet, because he believes that no one here would dare to attack Yuan Shaojun!
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yan Liang sat in the middle with a proud look on his face. He looked at Wang Qi who was rushing back and snorted coldly.
"Lü Bu agreed to join forces with our army?"
Wang Qi hurriedly handed over his hand, "General, Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard that the general wanted to join forces with him. It was too late to be happy, so how could he refuse?"
Yan Liang nodded, "You did a good job, go down and receive the reward."
Wang Qi hurriedly thanked him, turned around and left the camp.
Early the next morning, Yan Liang led 30,000 troops and rushed to Puyang.
Yan Liang led his troops and came in a big way. He was 30 miles away from Puyang. Cao Cao's spies heard the news and immediately rushed back to report.
Puyang City.
Cao Cao stood on the city wall with his hands behind his hands, looking in the direction of Lu Bujun with burning eyes, without saying a word for a long time.
Cao Hong had a bad temper. Seeing that Lu Bu still refused to come, he couldn't help shouting angrily, "What on earth are you doing, Lu Bu kid? Why haven't you come to attack the city yet?"
Cao Cao did not speak, but his heart was always hanging.
Ever since he knew that Lu Bu was also in the game, his heart had never let go.
With this game, there are too many variables!
There are many items in the game that are not available in reality. The most important thing is that they can be brought into reality.
Cao Cao was really worried that Lu Bu would bring out something extremely powerful. Even if Puyang was heavily guarded, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defend it.
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly hated this game. Without this game, he might have driven Lu Bu out of Yanzhou.
But with this game, Lu Bu actually beat himself up so miserably!
"Hateful!"
Cao Cao roared, he didn't know what he hated, did he hate Lu Bu, or did he hate this game?
While everyone was waiting for news from Lu Bu, a war horse suddenly came running from a distance, and a spy rode back from a distance.
"Reporting to my lord, there are troops coming from the direction of Jizhou!"
"What?"
Hearing the spies' words, Cao Cao was startled and hurriedly turned to look at his subordinates.
Everyone knew what Cao Cao meant and shook their heads.
Lu Qian frowned and said, "Our army did not send anyone to Jizhou to ask for help. Why would Duke Benchu send someone here?"
Cao Hong suddenly said, "Could it be that Lord Ben Chu heard about our army's defeat, so he sent troops to support us?"
Lu Qian shook his head, "Impossible. Even if Lord Benchu sent troops to support him, he would at least inform the Lord. How could he come so silently?"
At this point, Lu Qian's expression changed and he exclaimed, "Could it be that Duke Benchu's troops are not here to help us?"
Hearing this, Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Impossible. Do you think Duke Benchu's troops will go to help Lu Bu's son? It's a big joke."
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "General Cao, if Benchu Gong really sent troops to help us, why didn't we know?"
Cao Hong frowned, "Perhaps time is tight and there is no time to notify us?"
Just as everyone was talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard again outside the city, and a cavalry galloped from a distance.
When everyone saw the uniform of this cavalryman, they suddenly exclaimed, "It's a Jizhou soldier!"
The Jizhou soldiers rode up to the city, bowed their hands to the people on the city, and said, "My general has sent a letter."
Cao Hong hurriedly asked someone to put down the small basket. The Jizhou soldiers put the letter into the small basket and were pulled up by the people on the city.
Cao Cao took the letter that was delivered, looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, handed the letter to Cheng Yu, and said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry. I am worried about the safety of our army, so I sent Yan Liang to lead 30,000 troops to help our army."
When everyone heard these words, they breathed a sigh of relief.
If Jizhou's troops came to help Lu Bu, the consequences would be disastrous!
It's all right now. Yan Liang has come with his troops, and they will surely be able to successfully repel Lu Bu.
Lu Qian said with a smile, "I heard that General Yan Liang has a power that is unworthy of all men. I'm afraid Lu Bu will encounter an opponent when he comes here this time."
Cao Hong nodded, "General Yan Liang is the pillar of the Four Courts of Hebei. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he is also extremely resourceful. This time our army can be saved."
After reading the letter, Cheng Yu raised his head and said with a smile, "General Cao, you are right. General Yan Liang is indeed extraordinary. This time, he has given us a plan to defeat Lu Bu's army smoothly."
Cao Hong hurriedly asked, "What's the plan?"
Cheng Yu said with a smile, "Yan Liang's soldiers and horses will be stationed at the west gate of Puyang. At night, they will join forces with our army to attack Lu Bu's army camp."
Upon hearing these words, Cao Hong's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "If two of our soldiers and horses attack at the same time, Lu Bu's son will definitely be defeated."
Lu Qian said with a smile, "I didn't expect that just when I was worrying about how to deal with Lu Bu, General Yan Liang sent me good news."
Upon hearing the news, Cao Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
When he first heard the news, he was still worried about the game. Now it seems that he was overthinking it and Yuan Shao did not enter the game.
Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still friends, but after knowing the historical process, Cao Cao has understood that this childhood playmate was eventually solved by himself.
If Yuan Shao also knew this period of history, then Cao Cao could be sure that he would not let him go.
Yan Liang came secretly with his troops. He was really worried and wanted to deal with him.
Now it seems that Yuan Shao has not entered the game, he is here to help him.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao regained some confidence. Thinking of tonight's sneak attack, he snorted coldly.
"Little Lu Bu, I will let you taste my power tonight."
Having said this, Cao Cao turned his head and looked at everyone, and said loudly, everyone immediately responded to rectify the troops and horses, and then arranged for people to clear the passage into the gate. Don't miss the sneak attack plan tonight."
"The general will obey your orders."
……
Lu Bu frowned gradually as he looked at the letter sent by Yan Liang.
Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu's expression was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Marquis Wen, what's wrong? Have things changed?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "Gongtai, do you know what the letter says?"
Having said this, Lu Bu put the letter on the table and said slowly, "Yan Liang and I made a plan. He led Cao Mengde here, and then the two armies besieged and completely destroyed Cao Mengde."
Chen Gong was stunned and asked doubtfully, "But how does Yan Liang want to lure Cao Mengde here?"
Lu Bu said slowly, "Yan Liang pretended to join forces with Cao Mengde, and the two sides agreed to attack us tonight, thus luring Cao Mengde out."
Hearing this, Chen Gong couldn't help but frown. After a long time, he suddenly said, "What is the purpose of Yan Liang's move?"
Lu Bu sighed, "Yan Liang told this strategy. If it is true, it will be of great benefit to our army without any harm, and we can also successfully eliminate Cao Mengde.
But what if it’s fake!”
Chen Gong nodded, "If it is false and Yan Liang's real idea is to unite with Cao Mengde, then I am afraid that we will be defeated tonight."
Lu Bu nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, this is what I am worried about. What is Yan Liang's intention? Is it us or Cao Mengde who he really wants to unite with?"
Chen Gong thought about it carefully and suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, I see that this plan is inappropriate. If Yan Liang is really malicious, I am afraid that our army will not be protected, so it is better to reject it."
Lu Bu shook his head, "If it is true, this is also the best opportunity to eliminate Cao Mengde, and if this opportunity is missed, it may not be available in the future."
After hearing this, Chen Gong also understood what Lu Bu was thinking.
Yan Liang pretended to join forces with Cao Mengde, and he only had the chance when he first arrived. When Cao Mengde knew that Yan Liang and Lu Bu had joined forces, Cao Mengde would not believe it if he tried to use this strategy again.
Therefore, you only have one chance. If you miss it, you may have to force a siege.
If Yan Liang's method is adopted and both sides jointly eliminate Cao Mengde, neither will lose too much force.
However, if a forceful attack is used, the number of troops lost will not be a small number.
Chen Gong turned his head and looked at Lu Bu, and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, in your opinion, how should I act?"
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "I agree to Yan Liang's plan."
Chen Gong frowned, "But if it's fake and they both join forces to attack us, things will not be good."
Lu Bu also had some hesitation in his heart, but he had a vague feeling that Yan Liang's remaining plan was not aimed at him.
This thing itself is very strange. Originally, Yuan Shao would join forces with Cao Cao, but now, he has joined forces with himself.
Therefore, Lu Bu was sure that Yuan Shao might have entered the game and learned about this historical process, so he chose to join forces with him to eliminate his greatest enemy Cao Cao.
No matter what kind of strategy Yan Liang decides, his first choice is probably to deal with Cao Cao first.
Only after Cao Cao is defeated can Yan Liang turn against him.
Chen Gong suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, your guess is that Yuan Shao wanted to unite with us from the beginning, but have you ever thought that if this is Yuan Shao's plan, wouldn't we just be fooled?"<
/p>
Lu Bu shook his head, "It's impossible. Yuan Shao is very powerful. He only needs to send troops to whomever he wants to use. I'm afraid he doesn't need to use this method, right?"
Yuan Shao is so powerful that he can easily form an army of more than 100,000 men if he is willing.
Although Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought fiercely, their combined troops would never exceed one hundred thousand.
This is the gap between them and Yuan Shao!
If it weren't for Gongsun Zan's control in the north, I'm afraid Yuan Shao would have attacked Yanzhou long ago.
It can be said that the first person Cao Cao thanked for his success in Yanzhou was not his subordinates, but Gongsun Zan.
Although Gongsun Zan only occupied one state, he was powerful and had 3,000 white-horse followers. Even Yuan Shao would never dare to underestimate him.
It is precisely for this reason that Yuan Shao watched his good friend Cao Cao grow bigger in Yanzhou little by little.
Lu Bu knows this history, so he also knows very well that what he needs now is time and speed.
Only by driving out Cao Cao as soon as possible, completely occupying Yanzhou, and then developing strength can it be possible to compete with Yuan Shao.
If it is too late, even if Cao Cao is defeated, Yuan Shao will be advantaged in the end.
Although this operation is dangerous, Lu Bu thinks it is worth it.
But Chen Gong was always worried, "Marquis Wen, what Duke Benchu did is really unreasonable. No matter how he thinks about it, he shouldn't come to help us. Maybe there is fraud in this matter?"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said slowly, "Gongtai, I know what you mean, but we must also do this.
Whether what happened tonight is true or false, we can only act as if it is true."
Chen Gong frowned, "Why is this?"
Lu Bu sighed, "Gongtai, if what happened tonight is false, it means that Duke Ben Chu has already started to use troops against Yanzhou and wants to join forces with Cao Mengde to deal with us!
If things really get to that point, no matter what we do, we have no chance of winning.
So if what happened tonight is false, it proves that they are really united, Gongtai, we can only leave Yanzhou as soon as possible, otherwise, sooner or later we will be annihilated by them."
At this point, Lu Bu paused for a moment and then continued, "Gongtai, if what happened tonight is true, it means that the person Ben Chu really wants to deal with is Cao Mengde.
If Yan Liang sincerely joins forces with us to deal with Cao Mengde, under the siege of our two armies, maybe we can completely eliminate Cao Mengde and save a lot of trouble.
Maybe he will deal with us next, but at least for now, we are safe. As long as we try not to annoy him, there is still hope to gain a foothold in Yanzhou.
So no matter what, I must agree to Yan Liang’s things tonight.”
Hearing these words, Chen Gong nodded with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, that's all we can do. However, we must be more careful about tonight's events in case things change."
Lu Bu nodded, "Let everyone be careful tonight. Although we besiege Cao Mengde, we must also protect ourselves. If we find something wrong, we can retreat immediately, so as to reduce losses."
Chen Gong suddenly sighed and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, why do I find that everything seems to have changed?"
Lu Bu was taken aback, then waved his hand, "Gongtai, nothing has changed. Are you overthinking it?"
Chen Gong shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, I never imagined that the original guild would come to join us and want to deal with Cao Mengde?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, things are unpredictable. Maybe Duke Benchu suddenly had other ideas, or maybe Cao Mengde did something that was sorry for Duke Benchu, which made him angry, so he sent troops to attack him.
”
Chen Gong nodded, sighed and said, "Maybe. In short, we all have to be careful tonight. If something goes wrong, let everyone return to Juancheng as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Lu Bu waved his hand and said slowly, "Gongtai, you don't have to worry too much. Even if their two armies join forces, as long as our army takes precautions early, we will not be hit hard by them."
