Outside the south gate of Puyang, they were faced with Lu Bu, who suddenly returned to Puyang alone, with shocking momentum, and charged at them brazenly. ^^ Xi Zhicai, after fully considering the strength of both the enemy and ourselves, for the sake of Cao Cao's safety, facing Wei
Although Ye and the four thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry did not flinch, they insisted on admonishing Cao Cao to retreat into the city.
On the way to retreat, they met up and discovered that Wei Ye and Langqi had left the city, and Cao Hong, who came to meet them, quickly left Cao Hong with 5,000 troops to support Yu Jin. Just in case, Xi Zhicai continued on.
For a time, Cao Cao followed Cao Hong's path and retreated directly into the south city gate. On the one hand, he took over the offensive of Cao's army against Puyang City in the city. On the other hand, he reorganized the defense of Puyang South City to make sure everything was in place.
"Lord! The whereabouts of Lu Bu's bravery, Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Zihe and the three generals are unknown, and I don't know if something happened to them! Although General Wenze and General Zilian outside the city have more troops, they may not be able to stop Lu Fengxian's painted halberd and sword.
The remaining wolf cavalry troops,
So we still have to capture Puyang quickly, and it’s best to capture Lu Bu’s wife and daughter to ensure that everything is safe!” Once he entered the city, closed the city gate, and ensured Cao Cao’s safety, Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief with a look on his face.
He solemnly suggested to Cao Cao.
"Strategic Advisor! Uncle Yuan Rang has already achieved a breakthrough to the first-class level. Coupled with the assistance of Uncle Miaocai and Zihe, as well as tens of thousands of elite cavalry of our army, even though Lu Bu has the power of heaven and the courage of an overlord, they still have nothing to do if they want to protect themselves.
Question!" As soon as Xi Zhicai finished speaking, a young man with a well-proportioned figure and a handsome face from the soldiers who had been following Cao Cao spoke up.
"Hmm!" Cao Cao frowned. Although the young man's words did speak to his heart, after personally experiencing the Yanzhou battle with Lu Bu, he unknowingly valued Lu Bu more than many people.
imagination, therefore, although in my heart
Agreeing with the young man's view, after all, Lu Bu rode out of the city with six thousand wolves but returned alone, which was the biggest support for his thoughts. However, Cao Cao naturally did not dare to look down upon Xi Zhicai's words. He pondered slightly, and then said solemnly: "
Don't you kid get to interrupt!"
The young man bowed his head and retreated. Cao Cao just turned his attention to Xi Zhicai and said in a deep voice: "Zhicai, since Lu Fengxian came back alone, it means that something happened over there that we don't know about. What you are worried about is indeed true.
We have to guard against something, but no matter what, as long as we can capture Puyang and Lu Bu
Wife and daughter, no matter what, we have taken the initiative. In this case, all matters in Puyang City will be left to you. I will wait here in Nancheng with my own people, while I will wait for Zi Lian to pick up Wen Ze and return to the city.
The second is to meet Lu Fengxian in person again and find out about Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Zi and their intelligence!"
"No!" Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement. He turned around and ordered: "Xia Houhe, Xia Holong, and Xia Houhui, the three of you quickly lead a thousand troops each to the east, north, and west gates to help Li Dian and Le
Enter, the three generals Xia Houshang took down the three gates together, and then stationed themselves on the spot. No one or one horse is allowed to leave the city without someone's order!"
"No!" The three of them stepped forward to accept the order, then turned and left.
"Cao Xiu, Yu Shang, and you each led a thousand soldiers and horses to quickly go to the grain and grass depot and the armory. Along the way, in addition to cleaning up and gathering Lu Bu's defeated army, you have only one task: to prevent the Chen Palace from being destroyed and to burn the Langcao ordnance.
! Do you understand?" Xi Zhicai said.
"No!" The two of them turned and left quickly.
"Lord!" After giving the order, Xi Zhi turned around and saluted Cao Cao: "I think the four gates will be controlled soon. However, Gao Shun and the trapped camp have not shown up yet. I think it is very likely that they were arranged by Chen Gong.
The side of Lu Bu’s wife and daughter should have already begun
We are ready to break out. Just in case, I led 3,000 people to capture Chen Gong and Lu Bu's wife and daughter. The remaining troops and horses were left to the lord. I hope the lord will pay attention to the rules and regulations of the two generals Zi Lian.
The situation, if things go wrong, please quickly get them back to the city to defend!"
"Yeah!" Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai's serious look and was slightly startled. He turned around and looked at the shocking fighting in the distance outside the city. He felt Lu Bu's extremely violent power and the wolf cavalry Fang Tianji Army that suddenly gathered out of thin air.
Hun, his face changed slightly, "That is"
"That's a military soul! However, the reason for the condensation is also obvious. According to General Wenze's ability, it is impossible for him to condense this military soul, let alone let Lu Bu get it. My lord,
Don't worry!" Xi Zhicai, who had just made a guess in his mind, had a quick flash of gloom in his eyes, but he still explained to Cao Cao immediately.
In fact, Xi Zhicai had already had some awareness when he faced the surprise attack by Wei Ye and the four thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry before. With Yu Jin's massacre of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Lu Bu's sudden return, he was even more aware of it.
He felt something strange. However, Xi Zhicai was naturally very clear about the difficulty of condensing military souls, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Of course, trust in Jin's ability was also one of them.
However, Xi Zhicai still didn't tell Cao Cao. Now that Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has begun to gather military souls, Yu Jin can certainly cut off the birth of the Wolf Cavalry military soul by destroying all the Wolf Cavalry, but then he will inevitably face Lu Bu.
Zhizhi's madness broke out.
Therefore, while stopping Lu Bu, he also had to kill all the Wolf Cavalry and prevent the birth of the Wolf Cavalry's military soul. Yu Jin might not be able to come back! Unless Cao Hong could arrive in time to suppress it again with the strength of his five thousand army.
Lu Bu's outburst made it possible to save Yu Jin.
"The fourth step of externalizing martial arts energy? A warrior who has condensed the source of power is really terrifying and unbelievable power. Unfortunately, it cannot be used by me!" After answering Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai thought in his heart
He murmured twice, and then arched towards Cao Cao.
He said, "My Lord, the situation outside the city is unclear. Our army has been injured. Lu Bu returned alone. The troops and horses are unknown. There is a possibility of an outbreak at any time. Just in case, I will first take people to capture Chen Gong and Lu Bu's wife and daughter."
We have a complete plan, please be careful, my lord, and don’t leave the city easily!”
"Go!" Cao Cao nodded, looking indifferently at the huge square sky painted halberd that slowly solidified from the illusion in the distance, and at the countless wolf souls entrenched on it, his expression was extremely weird.
"No!" Xi Zhicai responded, slowly turned his head, and once again took a deep look at the wolf cavalry army soul that was slowly solidifying from the illusion in the distance outside the city. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he didn't know how to whisper.
He uttered something, and a glint of light flashed through his deep eyes, and then he calmed down and led the people away.
