When Cao Mengde heard the news from Cao Hong, he was overjoyed and said, "Immediately send an order to go down and pursue Lu Bu's army in front with all your strength."

Lu Qian said with a smile, "The Lu Bu army in front is running towards General Cao. As long as General Cao stops, he will fall into a trap and there will be nowhere to escape if he wants to."

Cao Mengde nodded, "Although the 500 people in front are not many, as long as they are eliminated, it can also boost the morale of our army."

However, Lu Bu's army in front was also quite cunning. Knowing that Cao's army was pursuing them with all their might, they accelerated accordingly and continued to move forward.

Cao Hong ordered his soldiers to turn around to meet the enemy, and at the same time slowly advanced, preparing to stop this group of Lu Bu's troops.

When it was daybreak, someone suddenly came to report, "General Cao, the 1,000 Lu Bu army we were chasing knew that we had changed direction, and they also came here."

Upon hearing the news from the soldiers, Cao Hong couldn't help but be startled, and then frowned.

Although these 1,000 soldiers and horses are not many, if they are taken out of the way, there may be something wrong.

"General Li, what do you think should be done?"

Li Dian also frowned at this moment, thinking about this matter, and after a long time, he said slowly.

"General Cao, the 500 Lu Bu Army soldiers behind will be restrained by the Lord's troops and horses. They will not be in serious trouble. The key is the 1,000 Lu Bu Army soldiers in front. If they return and steal our retreat, I am afraid it will be very harmful to our army.

It’s not good.”

Cao Hong frowned, "In this case, how should we act?"

Li Dian cupped his hands and said, "The last general thinks we should change direction and continue to pursue this group of troops."

Cao Hong was stunned, "But we have made a plan with the lord to surround Lu Bu's army coming from behind. If we change direction, wouldn't the plan fail?"

Li Dian shook his head, "If my guess is correct, as long as our army changes direction, if Lu Bu's army in front knows about it, he will definitely change direction and continue to escape.

In this way, as long as we drive away Lu Bu's army, then move forward slowly, and when the soldiers and horses behind us come over, we can take advantage of the situation and turn around to fight back."

Cao Hong nodded, "In that case, then change direction and continue the pursuit."

The fact was as Li Dian thought. Not long after Cao Jun changed direction, the spies came with news.

"General Cao, Lu Bu's army in front knew about our army's movement and also changed direction."

Cao Hong nodded, "General Li, as you expected, they really escaped."

Just as Li Dian was about to speak, the spy suddenly said, "General Cao, the direction in which Lu Bu's army fled seems to be the direction of Changyi?"

"What?"

Cao Hong remembered his last failure, his face changed, and he suddenly snorted, "It's really ridiculous. Now that things have come to this, Lu Bujun still wants to lure us to Changyi. It's just a dream."

Li Dian hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "General Cao, since Lu Bu's army has gone to Changyi, do we still want to pursue it?"

Cao Hong shook his head, "Lü Bujun must be trying to lure us to Changyi, and then set a trap for us like last time. This time, we can't be fooled no matter what."

"Give me the order. The army should stop and rest. Don't rush us any more."

After issuing this order, Cao Hong turned to look at Li Dian and laughed up to the sky, "General Li, Lu Bujun wants to lure me to Changyi. As long as we don't go, let's see how he can set up a trap. This time I'm afraid he will have to lure me to Changyi."
