In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao sat in the middle, looked around at the people around him, and said slowly.
"Today Lu Bu's son injured General Le. Do you have any good ideas to avenge General Le?"
Dian Wei stepped forward and held his hand, "My lord, wait until tomorrow to fight again. Please let the last general go to fight. You must avenge General Le."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Although Lu Bu has no plans, he is very brave and no one can match him. We should think of other ways."
Yu Jin suddenly said, "My lord, I went up the mountain to observe the enemy today and found that Lu Bu had a camp to the west of Puyang. It was not very large, so I guessed that there were not many people in the camp.
Lu Bu returned home victorious today. He must have been very proud and thought that our army did not dare to fight again. If our army went to sneak attack tonight, we would be able to successfully capture Xizhai. By then, Lu Bu's soldiers would be panic-stricken, so our army could slowly take advantage of it.
”
Upon hearing Yu Jin's suggestion, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light and he nodded.
"What General Yu said is true. Lu Bu will definitely not set up defenses. Tonight is a good opportunity for us to take action."
……
Lu Bu led the victorious army back to the camp and immediately rewarded the entire army. The camp was full of joy to celebrate today's victory.
Lu Bu called everyone to discuss, "Although our army won, it was only a small victory and did not defeat Cao Mengde's main force. Do you have any suggestions to defeat the enemy?"
Cheng Lian laughed loudly, "Marquis Wen and Cao Mengde are no match for our army. When tomorrow morning we attack with all our strength, we will definitely defeat them completely."
Chen Gong frowned and said slowly, "Although we won today, Cao Mengde is so cunning that we have to guard against him."
Having said this, Chen Gong turned to Lu Bu and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, in order to take care of each other, our army has set up a camp in the west of Puyang.
It goes without saying here that Cao Mengde would never dare to sneak attack, but there are not many troops in Xizhai, so we have to guard against it."
After hearing Chen Gong's suggestion, Lu Bu frowned.
Lonely Xianyu once talked about this passage, and Chen Gong’s analysis was very correct. Cao Cao did come to attack Xizhai at night.
But after listening to Chen Gong's words, he took the opportunity to ambush and defeated Cao Mengde again.
In this case, just follow Chen Gong's words and you can successfully defeat Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu nodded and said slowly, "Gao Shun, Wei Xu, and Song Xian listened to the order and ordered the three of them to lead troops and horses to Xizhai. There must be no mistakes."
"The general will obey your orders."
The three of them accepted the order in unison, turned and left.
Lu Bu turned to look at everyone and said loudly, "The rest of the people went back to the camp to prepare. If Cao Mengde really dares to make a sneak attack, we will make it impossible for him to come back tonight."
Gao Shun returned to the camp, gathered his troops and horses, and immediately headed towards the West Village.
Halfway through the journey, they encountered a broken army and reported that Xizhai had been lost and was captured by Cao Cao.
Gao Shun did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led his troops to rescue.
When I arrived at Xizhai, I heard loud shouts of killing in the camp. I hurriedly led my troops to kill the generals and wanted to take back Xizhai.
The two armies fought in a melee until late at night, and it was still difficult to determine the winner.
Lu Bu, who stayed in the camp, has been waiting for news from Xizhai. According to what the lonely Xianyu said, Cao Mengde will definitely attack tonight. As long as someone comes to report and leads his own troops, he can easily win. p>
Lu Bu still remembered clearly that in the night battle, if he was lucky, he might be able to get rid of Cao Mengde. Therefore, during the day, Lu Bu had already identified Cao Mengde's appearance and would never let him escape.
Just when Lu Bu was getting a little impatient, the soldiers who came back from the Western Camp hurried over to report, "It's bad, Cao Cao attacked the Western Camp secretly, and General Gao is fighting with them."
After hearing the news, Lu Bu became energetic and shouted, "Send the order, Hou Cheng will lead the troops to defend the camp, and the rest of the generals will follow me to rescue."
Everyone was already ready. After hearing the order, in just a moment of burning incense, the army had already left the camp and headed towards the west camp.
Lu Bu took the lead and ran at the front, fearing that Cao Cao would be lost.
Before I got close to Xizhai, I heard loud shouts of killing in front of me. The screams couldn't stop, and there was really a scuffle.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and roared angrily, "When the whole army attacks, we must not let Cao Mengde escape."
When Cao Jun saw someone coming to rescue him, he immediately knew something was wrong. He didn't even bother to seize the camp again and was defeated.
Lu Bu and others pursued him in a hurry, but the enemy ran too fast and could not catch up for a while.
Just when Lu Bu was chasing Cao Jun, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp due east of the camp. The leader was Xu Chu, Cao Cao's general.
After Lu Bu left the camp, Hou Cheng knew that Cao Cao had gone to Xizhai. He felt reassured. He gave some instructions to his soldiers, went back to his tent, drank a few glasses of wine, and fell into a deep sleep.
When Hou Cheng's soldiers saw their general's relaxed appearance, they naturally relaxed their vigilance and did not even notice the enemy approaching.
It was not until the enemy arrived not far away that someone saw the enemy and suddenly screamed.
"No, someone attacked."
But it was already too late. Xu Chu took the lead and rushed directly into the camp. Cao Ren, Yu Jin and others followed closely and started a crazy killing spree in the camp.
Hou Cheng was in a daze when he heard shouts of death coming from all around. He thought he was dreaming, so he turned over and fell asleep again.
It wasn't until the soldiers ran in and pushed him awake that he realized what he was doing, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran out of the tent to prepare to meet the enemy.
But at this time, there were flames in the camp, the shouts of killing were loud, and the shadows of Cao's army were everywhere. The number of soldiers of Lu Bu's army was originally small, and they were caught off guard. They were so panicked that they were defeated and had no intention of fighting.
Seeing this scene, Hou Cheng's cold sweat instantly flowed from his forehead, and he secretly cried out.
He was originally a veteran on the battlefield. When he saw this scene, he vaguely understood in his heart. I am afraid that everyone fell into Cao Mengde's plan and thought he wanted to attack Xiying, but in fact, the real purpose is here.<
/p>
Hou Cheng jumped on his horse, raised his spear, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't be afraid, drive them out with me."
In the light of the fire, a group of Cao Jun soldiers rushed out, shouting and rushing towards Hou Cheng.
Although Hou Cheng is a good drinker, he is also known for his bravery in Bingzhou for many years, so he can become one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals.
Seeing Cao Jun's soldiers rushing over, he was not afraid at all, and immediately jumped on his horse and rushed forward with his gun drawn.
"Kill!"
In just a moment, more than a dozen Cao Jun soldiers were killed, and they were defeated and fled in all directions.
Although Hou Cheng wanted to take back the camp, the soldiers were already frightened and they dared not fight again.
Hou Chengzong rode in the camp for a long time, but only managed to restrain more than 100 people. Seeing more and more enemies, he knew it was not good, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to escape from the camp and head towards the west village.
