"Marquis Wen, my subordinates have discovered that Cao Mengde fought against the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, and Cao Mengde won, and the Jingzhou army was almost completely wiped out."
"What?"
When Lu Bu heard the news from the spies, he could hardly believe his ears.
He has already asked clearly in the game, as long as Xiapi City is surrounded,
Then floods were used to ensure that Cao Mengde in the city would never escape this disaster.
The most important thing is that Liu Xuande knew about this and this method was more foolproof. However, why did the Jingzhou Army fail?
Lu Bu was surprised,
He hurriedly asked, "What's going on?
Please explain it in detail quickly."
The spy took a breath,
Then he recounted what had happened, and finally said, "Marquis Wen, originally Cao Mengde was not the opponent of the eldest son of Jingzhou Liu Qi, but he actually opened the river and flooded the army camp of the eldest son of Jingzhou Liu Qi, which led to the complete defeat of the Jingzhou army.
And return."
After Lu Bu heard the detailed story, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears.
Originally, the flood was intended to deal with the soldiers and horses in the city. Unexpectedly, Cao Mengde actually used it in turn, flooding the Jingzhou Army's barracks and taking the opportunity to win.
Cao Mengde deserves to be one of the overlords of the Three Kingdoms, he is indeed powerful!
No matter how much Lu Bu wanted to get rid of Cao Mengde, this time, he really admired him.
If you were besieged in the city, you would probably be thinking about how to break out of the siege, rather than using floods to flood the enemy.
No wonder Cao Mengde became one of the overlords of the Three Kingdoms,
It is indeed powerful, no wonder it is so!
Comparing myself with him, there is really a huge difference!
Lu Bu sighed in his heart, if he hadn't entered the game by chance, he might have been the one surrounded in the city.
Maybe by now, he has been caught and taken to Baimen Tower.
"Cao Mengde, you are really powerful. I really did not misjudge you."
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the spies, "Since the Jingzhou army was defeated, did Liu Xuande die on the spot?"
The fat man shook his head, "Liu Xuande was lucky. I heard he had escaped. However, the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, was not so lucky. I heard he was shot by a bow and arrow and fell directly into the water and sank to the bottom." p>
After hearing this, Lu Bu sighed and said, "The eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi,
What a pity. If we join forces with others, we might still have a chance to escape. But joining forces with Liu Xuande is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!"
"Immediately pass the order and let the generals come to discuss."
Not long after, everyone came to discuss it.
Lu Bu didn't hesitate and told everyone carefully what the spy just said.
"In this battle of Xuzhou, Cao Mengde won and Liu Xuande retreated in defeat. Can you give me some advice?"
When everyone heard Lu Bu's words, they were all shocked and couldn't believe their ears.
"Marquis Wen, is this true?"
According to the original plan, this time Liu Xuande and the eldest son of Jingzhou Liu Qi joined forces, even if they were not Cao Mengde's opponents, they should both lose, but no one expected that the outcome would be like this.
Lu Bu nodded, "This is the news just returned by the spies. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
Zhou Cang's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why did Cao Mengde win? Shouldn't he have been defeated?"
Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Marquis Wen, this incident is indeed unexpected and has completely disrupted our plan."
According to the plan that was discussed at the beginning, it was to wait until both of them were defeated, and then after Liu Xuande eliminated Cao Mengde, Lu Bu immediately attacked Xuzhou with thunderous force and tried to capture Xuzhou in one battle.
But now that the battle has reached this situation, what should we do? Should we attack according to the original plan?
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yuanzhi, what suggestions do you have?"
Hearing the question, Xu Shu frowned. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, although the result this time is different from what we expected, I think we should attack Xuzhou as planned?"
/p>
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "Mr. Yuanzhi, why?"
Xu Shu said slowly, "Although Cao Mengde defeated Jingzhou's eldest son Liu Qi and Liu Xuande, they still won by a narrow margin. If there had been no flood, he would have been defeated.
This also shows that Cao Mengde's strength has been weakened a lot, and this is the best time to attack."
At this point, Xu Shu's tone paused, but then, without waiting for others to answer his words, he continued.
"And there is a more important reason, that is, although Cao Mengde defeated Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, if there were no accidents, the city would have been flooded. In other words, Cao Mengde also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
."
Hearing this, Lu Bu waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Yuan Zhi, you are wrong. Cao Mengde has sent people to seal the four doors and some entrances. Even if there is water outside, there won't be too much water."
Entering the city, there will naturally be no big losses. Is it really appropriate to attack now?"
Hearing this, Xu Shu's eyes lit up, "Marquis Wen, does this mean that if there is water outside the city, Cao Mengde never dares to open the city gate?"
Lu Bu nodded, "That's true. If the city gate is opened and the flood has not receded yet, there will definitely be floods entering the city.
If there is no accident, Cao Mengde will definitely wait for the flood outside to subside before opening the city gate."
Xu Shu smiled and nodded, "In this case, isn't this equivalent to encirclement? It is also equivalent to the Jingzhou army being surrounded until now. If our army goes forward now, wouldn't it also take advantage of this?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu discussed and frowned and said, "Mr. Yuanzhi, even if our army goes forward now, how can we attack the city when it is already surrounded by water?"
Xu Shu waved his hand, "Since Cao Mengde sealed the four gates, it means that the city is afraid of water. As long as the flood has an entrance, it can flow into the city.
Marquis Wen, after we arrive, we don't have to rush to order a strong attack. Instead, we should find a way to let the flood flow in and let the water flood Xiapi City. Wouldn't this have the same effect as attacking with water?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "Mr. Yuanzhi, you are right, why didn't I think of it?"
At this time, Lu Bu suddenly realized that the city was now surrounded by water. He only needed to lead his troops and horses to rush over. He only needed to surround the city as the player said, and then find a way to send water into the city. As long as the water flooded
The city, like Cao Mengde, used water attacks on the city, causing Cao's army and people in the city to panic.
According to the player, it was because morale in the city was greatly reduced and he blamed Hou Cheng heavily for drinking that he let them betray him and let Cao Mengde win.
