If Lu Bu still had this thought before, it has become less and less since he was defeated by Cao Cao and joined Liu Bei and settled in Xiaopei.
In the early years, he led his troops to wander around Yunzhong and Wuyuan. The barbarians were frightened by the news, and the children were famous for stopping their cries. After many fights, he won the name of a flying general.
At the same time, these experiences also gave him the confidence to spy on the Central Plains.
But what about now?
Let’s not count the defeat to Li Jue and Guo Si in the capital, let’s just talk about the fight for Yanzhou with Cao Cao. The time was clear, the location was favorable, and the people were there, so why did it fail again?
People like myself can't even defeat Cao Cao, and now they have to live under Liu Bei and struggle to survive. Even if they have captured Xuzhou, how can they fight against the more powerful Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao?
Seeing Lu Bu's silence, Chen Gong guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
He knew that his lord himself had a capricious and changeable temperament, but he did not expect that Lu Bu would still have such thoughts when the war was approaching.
If it were another person, Chen Gong would have been taken down long ago for disturbing the morale of the army, but... Lu Bu couldn't do it!
As the leader of a general, if his fighting spirit cannot be aroused, there is no need to continue fighting this battle.
Chen Gong cupped his fists and saluted, pretending to be confused and said: "My lord...could it be that you are scared of being beaten by Cao Mengde?"
"Afraid?!"
Although Lu Bu's face showed a bit of vicissitudes of life, his eyes were still sharp. When he heard Chen Gong's words, he snorted coldly, and a compelling aura emerged spontaneously.
"I am Lu Bu, who in the world doesn't know my reputation?"
"Cao Mengde? What's there to be afraid of?!"
Chen Gong seemed to have achieved his goal. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he pretended to be surprised and said: "That's it!"
"I also think that it is impossible for my lord to be afraid just because he lost the battle. From now on, he will never dare to avenge Cao Cao for his defeat!"
"Huh! That's naturally impossible!"
Lu Bu clenched his fists, with a hint of fighting intent in his eyes.
However, he seemed to have thought of something again, and the fighting spirit immediately dissipated, and there was a hint of dejection in his eyes.
"Having said that, but...do we still have a chance?"
"have!"
Chen Gong nodded firmly, stared into Lu Bu's eyes, and said: "Right now, Liu Bei is confronting Yuan Shu in the Xuyi and Huaiyin areas, and Xiapi City must be empty. We will take the opportunity to capture Xuzhou, gather the defeated troops, and wait for
When both of them were defeated, the lord sent his troops south to reap the benefits!"
"Cao Cao is extremely ambitious. The palace predicts that he will not be willing to live under others for a long time and will have a battle with Yuan Shao sooner or later!"
"After taking over Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, my lord can recuperate and take action when the time comes!"
"Once Cao and Yuan fight against each other, it will be the time for the master to dominate the world and avenge his previous shame!"
Then, Chen Gong pointed to Xiapi City not far away and said confidently: "Therefore, if my lord wants to defeat Cao's army, just gathering in Xiaopei is not enough!"
"We must capture Xuzhou first!"
The plan Chen Gong is talking about now is almost exactly the same as what Lin Zhe and Liu Bei planned at the beginning. The only difference is that both sides are using each other.
Lu Bu was obviously moved, but at this time he still had some doubts in his heart, and said: "This plan of Gongtai is very good! But... Xiapi City is high and deep, and it will be difficult for us to take it in a short while."
..."
"Lord, you are worrying too much!" Chen Gong waved his hand, interrupting Lu Bu's words.
"The palace has inquired and found that Liu Bei has no advisers around him!"
"People such as Chen Yuanlong, Mi Zizhong, Jian Xianhe, etc., although they have small talents, they do not have great wisdom. It is impossible for them to detect that we have the intention to attack Xuzhou."
"This time Liu Bei led troops to Xuyi and Huaiyin to set up defenses, but he was completely unprepared for us, which further proves this point!"
"What's more, after Liu Bei took over Xuzhou from Tao Gongzu, many of his officers and soldiers were dissatisfied. If not for this, no one would have surrendered to the general!"
"Coupled with the lord's bravery, which leads the three armies, and the help of generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Xiapi City...is within easy reach!"
Chen Gong's analysis was clear and logical. Lu Bu's eyes became more determined, and he looked at Xia Pi with sharp eyes.
Seeing that the soldiers were almost resting, Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and stepped onto the red rabbit horse.
Then he ordered the army, everyone kept silent, the horses bound their hooves, and quietly approached Xiapi.
He wants to take this city in one fell swoop!
...
...
The weather was gloomy, and the night seemed to be baring its fangs to swallow up the entire earth.
The crows were spinning in the sky and croaking, as if to hint that tonight was extraordinary.
With the help of darkness, Lu Bu and others led the army to approach Xiapi City. Soldiers patrolling the city wall in twos and threes were patrolling the city back and forth with long swords, and they were on guard nervously.
However, just when Lu Bu was about to order an attack, Chen Gong stopped him at this moment.
"My lord, wait a minute!"
"Um?!"
"Did the public broadcaster find anything wrong?!"
Chen Gong didn't know why. Although everything in Xiapi City seemed normal at this time, he always felt uneasy for no reason.
"Lord, just in case, we'd better wait for the army in the city to send a signal before we attack again!"
Lu Bu shook his head and did not adopt Chen Gong's suggestion.
"The sky is dark now. It's the time when the defenders are slacking off. We don't know how long it will take to wait for a signal from the city. What's more, if the sky gets brighter, our whereabouts will not be hidden, but the effect of surprise attack will be lost!"
"As long as the war breaks out and the reinforcements in the city see it, they will naturally open the city gate to cooperate with us!"
Chen Gong thought for a while and knew that what Lu Bu said was true. He nodded and did not insist any further.
"Zhang Liao, Gao Shun!"
"The end is here!"
Lu Bu pointed at Xiapi City and said, "You two follow me and capture this city quickly!"
"The last general takes command!"
After saying this, Lu Bu shouted loudly and rode forward. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each led an army to the left and right, following Lu Bu's footsteps to charge.
The battle has begun!
Before the soldiers patrolling the city wall could react, they saw clusters of arrows flying towards them.
"Attack the city!"
"Someone is attacking the city!"
Lu Bu's advance to the camp was quite fast. With the suppression of the arrows, they had already approached the city wall. Taking advantage of the unsteady foothold of the soldiers on the city wall, they quickly climbed up the ladder.
One, two...
As the soldiers ascended the city wall one by one, a smile appeared in Lu Bu's eyes. This battle was so easy!
However, just when he thought he could easily occupy the north gate wall, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon.
The soldiers who had finally climbed onto the city wall were strangled by a group of soldiers and horses, and fell off the city wall one by one.
The defenders were actually prepared!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Lu Bu, you servant with the third surname, you have fallen into the trap of our military advisor!"
"Look who is this in my hand?!" This chapter has been completed!
