The next day, the morning sun rose.

At the moment when the golden sun rose, a crowd of black pressure appeared on the distant horizon, and they were marching in the direction of Juyang City in an orderly manner.

"General, they're coming!"

Seeing this, the sentry guards on the castle tower hurriedly ran to the general.

Cao Ren's heart sank, and he said, 'Sure enough', he came to the city with his soldiers, and looked into the distance, it was still yesterday's enemy flag, but in terms of numbers, there was a significant reduction.

"Pass my order, and all soldiers will be on guard immediately!" Cao Ren decisively passed down the order, without delay.

Now it seems that the first battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao was for this Juyang City.

South of Juyang, Dingtao.

Lü Bu's army had arrived a few days earlier to confront Cao Cao in the city.

Lu Bu stationed the military camp in Xinshui, ten miles away from Dingtao, and had a face-to-face with Cao Cao when he came, and in recent days, except for sending people to call for battle, there has been no substantive attack.

In Dingtao City, Cao Cao summoned several confidants and strategists on this trip.

"My lord." Xun You and the others entered the hall and sat down after the ceremony.

Cao Cao's face was dignified, and everyone present was a confidant, so he simply went straight to the point: "Lu Bujun has not seen any movement for a long time, and I doubt that he will make other moves." ”

In Cao Cao's opinion, although Lu Bu sent people to the city from time to time to call for war, it was very likely that this was just a cover to bluff.

"If it's a bluff, then what is Lu Bu trying to do?" Man Zhong followed Cao Cao's words and whispered a thought, and pondered it carefully.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: the first army to attack the plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city. Maybe Lu Bu is waiting for a better time. Mao Jue lined his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Impossible, I understand Lu Bu's temperament, if he wants to attack the city, he will definitely be resolute, instead of waiting and waiting."

Cao Cao rejected Mao Jue's idea, Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops were hoarded here, and the daily consumption of grain and grass alone was a huge amount, and Lu Bu couldn't afford to consume it for two years or three years.

What's more, this time it was Lu Bu who took the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

"Lord, on the part of General Xiahou and General Cao, is there any letter coming?" Xun You, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke.

As early as when he set out, Cao Cao told Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren that they must send letters to Dingtao every day, even if it was just to report safety.

In fact, the two did.

Cao Cao recalled that it seemed that he had only received a letter from Xiahou Yuan yesterday, as for the Juyang where Cao Ren was located......

Plausibly, no.

Cao Cao is such a smart person, he suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Xun Yu in surprise: "Gongda, you mean ......?"

Xun You nodded.

Because Lu Bu's army was stationed not far outside the city, many people subconsciously focused their eyes on Lu Bu and ignored the other two places.

"My lord, there is something unknown to my subordinates. Lu Bu's army is all in Xinshui, so where did he get his army to attack Juyang? Mao Jue didn't seem to believe what Xun You said, and was very puzzled by this.

Cao Cao had sent people to inspect the Lu Bu military camp many times before, and according to the information reported by the scouts, it was at least 50,000 people.

The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real.

Cao Cao knows the way to command the army, if it is really as Xun Yu expected, then Lu Bu here, there are not so many soldiers and horses at all!

What a sound!

"Wen Lie, you quickly lead five thousand soldiers and horses and go to reinforce Juyang!"

Cao Cao thought very quickly and made a decision in an instant.

"My lord, no!" Hearing Cao Cao's order, Xun You got up to interrupt.

"Why?" Cao Cao didn't know why.

Xun You got back: "Lu Bu's army is not far outside the city, and he will definitely pay close attention to the movements in the city." If you send someone to rescue Juyang, you will inevitably alarm Lu Bu, and it is very likely that you will be caught in the middle of it and be attacked by his troops. ”

"Do you want me to watch Juyang fall into the hands of Lu Bu?" Cao Cao's tone was very unwilling.

Xun You shook his head slightly, he arched his hand, and obviously had a plan to deal with it: "Juyang can't give up, so the lord can send General Xiahou to save him." ”

"But the Bo County where Miaocai is located is far away from Juyang, I'm afraid Zixiao won't be able to hold on."

Cao Cao's face was full of worry, if Lu Bu was determined to attack Juyang, then he would definitely launch a strong attack with the momentum of thunder, I was afraid that Cao Ren would not be able to support it for so long.

"Is there any other way to rescue you?" Cao Cao asked everyone in the hall, his eyes eager.

The people in the hall thought about it and shook their heads.

On the banks of the Xinshui River, the breeze blows, causing layers of ripples.

"Is there any movement in the city?"

Lu Bu walked by the river and asked his future son-in-law beside him.

In fact, Dong Bai was promised to Guo Jia, in addition to the mutual affection between the two, Lu Bu also had selfish intentions, and he wanted to keep Guo Jia firmly by his side.

Guo Jia's ability, needless to say.

There are three strategies to retreat from the enemy in the front, and there are hundreds of miles to break Yuan Shu in the back.

Such a talent, Lu Bu is unwilling to let go.

However, Guo Jia has a free and easy temperament, and no one can restrain him, if it weren't for the sake of the drama, I'm afraid he would have left Lu Bu's camp a long time ago.

Because of this, Lu Bu especially wanted to keep him.

Lu Bu heard about the drama before, Guo Jia seems to be amorous, but in fact, he is also a lover.

In this way, it is much easier.

Since Dong Bai likes Guo Jia, then Lu Bu agreed to this marriage with adult beauty.

Once there is a bond, it will be difficult for Guo Jia to leave again.

Guo Jia, who was more than half a block shorter next to him, didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking, he answered the question Lu Bu had just raised, and there was no movement in the city.

"Could it be that Cao Cao hasn't received Juyang's call for help yet?" Lu Bu was a little puzzled by this, he not only wanted to capture Juyang, but also wanted to lure Cao Cao to send troops to rescue, and then take advantage of the situation to attack and kill two birds with one stone.

But now Cao Cao has not seen any movement, which makes him a little confused.

Guo Jia put his hand on his chest, and the white fox showed a little solemnity on his face, and groaned: "Even if you don't receive it, Xun You, the strategist under Cao Cao, should have seen through this." As for why he didn't send troops, I think he must have expected that we would intercept halfway, so he didn't send troops for a long time. ”

Lu Bu snorted, he had heard of the Xun family's uncle and nephew's skills before.

If Cao Cao didn't send someone to rescue Juyang, it would only be a strong man who broke his wrist and lost his car to protect his handsome.

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth hooked up a smile, thinking that the victory was in hand.

He looked sideways at Guo Jia and asked curiously: "Who is more powerful than you and Xun You?" ”

"Half a pound and eight taels." Guo Jia replied casually.

Lu Bu then put his mind at ease.

However, Guo Jia's brain circuit seems to be far from being compared with others, and he added: "He is half a catty of gold, and I am eight taels of scrap iron." ”

Lu Bu was messy in the wind, stunned.

"Lie to you, hahaha......"
