The Lu family at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 42
"Prime Minister, these are our soldiers."

In Xiapi City, after a scuffle, Cao Cao finally cleaned up the recalcitrant soldiers who blocked their progress.

However, when they lit the torches, they saw many familiar faces.

Only then did I know that these people are all their brothers.

They actually killed their brothers!
Although Cao Cao's face was already livid with anger, Cheng Yu still told Cao Cao the news.

Cao Cao remained silent for a long time.It was not until a long time later that he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I never thought that I, Cao Mengde, would be chased blind by wild geese!"

Although Cao Cao was laughing loudly, his laughter was full of anger!
He, Cao Cao, just used this trick to defeat Lu Bu and annihilate Lu Bu's main force, but now Lu Bu uses this trick to escape. This is really a great irony!
"Pass down the order, the whole army will attack, I swear to kill Lu Bu!"

"The Prime Minister is impossible!"

When Cao Cao gave the order, all the advisers under his command stood up to oppose it.

"What? If we don't take this opportunity to kill Lu Bu, we will be in serious trouble when Lu Bu escapes!"

Cao Cao's face turned ugly. This was the first time that all his advisers stood up against him.

"Prime Minister, our soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted after fighting for a whole day. Now go after Lu Bu. Don't say if you catch up or not. Even if you catch up, you may not be able to keep Lu Bu!"

Guo Jia tried to persuade her.

Going after Lu Bu now is really not a wise move!

"But, what if we don't chase now and let Lu Bu run away?"

Cao Cao didn't know the disadvantages, but if he didn't pursue in time and let Lu Bu escape, then he would have an extra powerful enemy!
"Prime Minister, think about it, where can Lu Bu go now?"

Guo Jia's determination was also shaken when he saw Cao Cao, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said in a low voice.

When Guo Jia said this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes, where can Lu Bu go now?Yuzhou in the west is his territory, Qingzhou in the north is Yuan Shao's territory, and Yuan Shu is in the south.

It is impossible for Yuan Shao to accept Lu Bu, because he has completely torn face with Lu Bu.

And if they want to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, Huaishui is a big trouble!

It can be said that Lu Bu has nowhere to escape now!

"What trick does Xiao Feng have now?"

Now that he saw through all this, a smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, and he hurriedly asked his advisor, Guo Jia, for advice.

"Yuan Shu once wanted to marry Lv Bu and took the opportunity to win over Lv Bu, but was rejected by Lv Bu. Now that Lv Bu has nowhere to go, maybe he will seek refuge with Yuan Shu."

Guo Jia thought for a while and guessed where Lu Bu was going.

As expected of a person with full intelligence, he can guess most of them at once.

"That's really great, Lu Bu is now the turtle in the urn!"

Cao Cao swept away the previous decadence and laughed heartily.

"Prime Minister should rest his troops now and attack tomorrow, and destroy Lu Bu before Yuan Shu sends a ship to pick him up!"

Seeing that Cao Cao agreed with his proposal, Guo Jia naturally took the opportunity to persuade Cao Cao to suspend his troops for the time being.

"Everything is said by filial piety!"

Cao Cao gave up his plan to smear the attack, which made a group of people under his command breathe a sigh of relief.

………………

The sky is slightly brighter, and the sun is just showing its rays.

Lu Yi opened his hazy eyes and shook his still confused head to wake himself up.

He only felt that he was weak now, probably because he wasted too much energy yesterday, and he still hasn't recovered yet.

He couldn't help it, his stomach growled so hungry that he couldn't fall asleep, rationality urged him to get up and find something to eat.

He looked around and saw that the soldiers were also getting up one after another, practicing morning exercises.

"Young master, you are up, let's eat first!"

At this time, Dong Ya came to Lu Yi's side with Ling Yunjia, which had just been washed.

No matter what Lu Yi said, he also spent a day on the battlefield, and he didn't know how much donated blood was stained on his body. After he took off Ling Yunjia, the virtuous Dong Ya took him to clean it.

"Did there be any strange noises last night, for example, did Cao Cao come to sneak attack?"

Things on the battlefield were changing rapidly, and Lu Yi was not sure that Cao Cao would not come after him.

"No, everything was normal last night, but now Marquis Wen and the others say that there is smoke and dust billowing in the north. It should be Cao Cao who came after him and is actively preparing for the battle."

Dong Ya told Lu Yi everything.

When she thought about what Lu Yi said in his sleep yesterday, her face not only blushed a little.

It's just that Lu Yi's eyes are hazy now, he hasn't woken up yet, his eyesight hasn't recovered yet, so naturally he didn't see anything.

He picked up the bowl of rice that had been placed aside and ate it with big mouthfuls.

There is nothing good to eat on the battlefield, usually white rice, and sometimes some meat or a few skins of vegetables.

It's just that now that Lu Jun's back is facing the Huai River, I don't know how many fish there are in the water. As long as I light a fire by the Huai River at night, I don't know how many fish and shrimps I can attract.

Therefore, yesterday, these Lu Jun were asked to open a meat dish, and they ate fish that is usually difficult to eat.

The hot fish was still fresh, and it seemed that the soldiers had just had breakfast not long ago.

Men have eaten too much, women have eaten too many times, and soon, Lu Yi finished his own breakfast.

Physical strength has also recovered a lot.

"Xiao Ya'er, bring me Ling Yunjia."

The war is about to start again, as a soldier, it is naturally impossible not to put on your own armor.

Ling Yunjia was once again draped on Lu Yi's body, shining with dazzling light.

Lu Yi pulled Dong Ya onto his horse and let her sit in front of him to lead the way for him to find Lu Bu and the others.

Dong Ya, who was leaning in Lu Yi's arms, was blushing all over her face, and her heart was warm.

"Father, generals, Cao Cao has caught up?"

When he came to the generals, Lu Yi asked.

"That's right, we've set up camp fifty miles away. It seems that Cao Cao has the mentality of killing us all, and a big battle will break out soon!"

Chen Gong explained to Lu Yi, his face was full of worry.

"Yi'er, when will the ship you mentioned arrive?"

The situation was extremely critical, but there was not even a shadow of the ship that Lu Yi mentioned, which made Lu Bu very uneasy.

Now that Lu Yi is here, Lu Bu asked Lu Yi.

This is related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, he can't be careless!
Lu Bu's question is also the question of all the soldiers present here.They all looked at Lu Yi expectantly, to see what kind of answer Lu Yi could give.

If Lu Yi said no, it would be hard work.

"Don't worry, when this wave of Cao's army is repelled, the ship will come!"

Lu Yi doesn't dare to change ships casually now, otherwise, if he accidentally suffers a defeat, after [-] points of military merit leave his hand, Lu Yi's life will not be guaranteed.

He had to repel this wave of Cao's army before he dared to exchange boats to cross the river.

"My lord already has a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Seeing Lu Yi's indifferent expression, as if he didn't pay attention to Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops, Chen Gong couldn't help feeling a little comforted.

When Chen Gong asked this question, Lu Bu and the other generals were also looking forward to it.

Could it be that Lu Yi really has any good ideas?
