Lu Bu's camp.
In the central tent.
There were only two people in the tent.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong.
"Teacher, I've already ordered Chen Gui and Chen Deng to remain in the camp and have not summoned them for a meeting. Everything has been done according to your instructions. Now, you can tell me what kind of brilliant plan you have to lure Liu Bei out of the city, right?”
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong helplessly.
For this scheme, he had been following Chen Gong's every word for the past few days.
"Fengxian, do you know why I asked you to send Zhang Liao to lead the army to attack the city today?”Chen Gong took a sip of hot tea and smiled at Lu Bu.
"I…"
Lu Bu opened his mouth, and then his expression turned somewhat angry.
He knew that Chen Gong was trying to manipulate him again.
Chen Gong liked to test him every time he had a brilliant plan.
But if he knew this, why would he listen to Chen Gong?
After a moment of silence, he said indignantly," Of course, it's to take down Xiao Pei as soon as possible!”
"This is only one aspect."
Chen Gong shook his head with a smile and explained," In addition, it was also to confuse Liu Bei. Liu Bei in the city would think that Cao Cao's army was about to arrive and we would lose our patience. That's why we attacked the city so desperately. Do you understand?”
"This…"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment before nodding his head." I understand."”
"But what does this have to do with luring Liu Bei out of the city?”
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in disappointment.
Although his martial arts were the best in the world, his intelligence was really not enough.
What a boorish man.
This was just right. It showed his power.
"When Liu Bei knows that Cao Cao's army is about to arrive, he will lower his guard.”
"If we use Cao Cao's name to lure Liu Bei out of the city and attack us from both sides, do you think Liu Bei will leave the city?”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Gong's words.
"Mister, what a brilliant plan."
At this moment.
The unhappiness in his heart vanished into thin air.
As long as this plan worked, he could easily defeat Liu Bei and take Xiao Pei.
When Cao Cao really came, he would be able to deal with him.
"We'll do as you say."
"However, I'll have to rely on you to borrow Cao Cao's name.”
Lu Bu cupped his hands.
"I've long prepared."
"The letter is here."
Chen Gong took out a piece of silk and handed it to Lu Bu with a smile.
"Tonight, order someone to secretly shoot the letter into the city.”
"Tomorrow morning, Liu Bei will definitely lead his troops out of the city to the place where we have set up an ambush. At that time, you will lead the cavalry to charge and win a complete victory.”
Lu Bu nodded and happily placed the silk in his hand. After carefully putting it away, he looked at Chen Gong and said,"Then I'll go down and prepare."
……
That day.
Lu Bu's army attacked the city more than ten times, but they were repelled by Liu's army every time.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
In the evening, Lu Bu gave the order to retreat.
The attacking army retreated like a tide.
On the walls of Xiaopei.
Liu Bei sat on the ground, exhausted.
It wasn't just him.
The soldiers around him were the same. They all looked tired and pale, either sitting or lying down. It was obvious how tragic the defense was today.
"Chief Yun, quickly go and count the losses.”
"Xianhe, please order the logistics camp to prepare food immediately. Let everyone have a full meal first.”
Liu Bei sat on the ground and quickly gave his orders.
Although Guan Yu and Jian Yong were tired, they also cupped their hands and went to get busy.
Zhang Fei took a water belt and handed it to Liu Bei.""Big brother, drink some water."
Liu Bei took it and drank a few mouthfuls before returning it to Zhang Fei with satisfaction. Looking at Zhang Fei, who was covered in blood, Zhao Yun sighed,"Yi De, Zilong, it's been hard on you.”
Today, he was almost stabbed by the enemy soldiers several times. Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were on the side, so he was fine.
Zhang Fei shook his head indifferently." Big brother, what are you talking about? It's not hard on me!"”
Zhao Yun also cupped her fists and said,"My lord is too serious!"”
"Good, good, good!"
"I assure you that this will be the last time we will face such a dangerous situation.”
"When Cao Cao comes, I will join forces with him to defeat Lu Bu. Then, we will go to Guangling, and our days will be much better.”
Liu Bei's heart was filled with anticipation.
He was working so hard because Cao Cao had promised to give Guangling to him after he took over Xuzhou.
He captured Guangling.
He would have a place to settle down.
For the sake of a happy life in the future, he had to suffer a little now.
It was worth it!
"Hehe, big brother, when we go to Guangling, can I drink?”Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, but his eyes were filled with a smile."You are allowed to drink, but you are not allowed to drink too much.”
"Big brother, don't worry. As long as I drink, I won't drink too much.”Zhang Fei licked his lips as he spoke.
It was obvious that he was addicted to alcohol.
Zhao Yun also smiled, but did not say much.
The three of them chatted for a while before Guan Yu hurried over with an ugly expression."Big brother, after a rough count, our army has lost more than seven thousand men, which is almost the total number of casualties in the past few days.”
"The losses are so great."
The smile on Liu Bei's face disappeared, replaced by heartache.
He only had twenty-five thousand soldiers, and in the past few days, he had already lost fourteen to fifteen thousand.
What a heavy loss!
When he promised Cao Cao, he didn't expect that Lu Bu would attack the city at such a cost. He also didn't expect Cao Cao to be so slow that he still hadn't reached Xiaopei.
"It's alright, it's alright!"
"There's still 10,000 left."
Liu Bei could only comfort himself in this way.
"Is that Cao Cao a bastard? How many days has it been and he still hasn't arrived?”Zhang Fei cursed at the side.
The injured soldiers were all trained by him and Guan Yu.
"Third brother, don't worry. Cao Cao will arrive in two or three days.”Guan Yu said.
Liu Bei nodded.
"Today, Lu Bu is attacking the city on a large scale.”
"Let's just hold on for a few more days."
"Come."
"Let's go down and eat something first and have a good rest.”
Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's large hands as they descended the city wall.
That night.
The group of people had a rare meal and was about to return to their rooms to rest when a personal guard rushed over and handed them a silk letter."My lord, a secret letter has been sent from outside the city.”
Liu Bei was shocked. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at the silk with anticipation.
