Chapter 441 The Side of Mount Tai

"Let's listen to what other people mean." Lv Bu shook his head slightly and interrupted the two and said that although Lv Bu's voice was calm, there was an irresistible momentum in his words. The two could only stand aside obediently and stop talking.

"I don't know what the public station thinks?" Lv Bu ignored the two and just turned his head and looked at Chen Gong and asked.

Although Chen Gong's official position is low, he is just a military counselor, but Lv Bu also attaches great importance to Chen Gong. This time, Lv Bu sent troops to Yanzhou and left Jia Xu in Sizhou, but only took Chen Gong with him. It can be seen that Lv Bu has great trust in Chen Gong's ability, and Chen Gong has helped Lv Bu almost occupied these days. The achievements of the whole territory of Yanzhou also illustrate the talent of Chen Gong.

"Cao Cao has 200,000 soldiers at this time, which is Cao Cao's strengths. However, this is also Cao Cao's shortcoming, because at this time, Cao Cao lost most of Yanzhou's territory, and the production of the remaining three small cities was not enough to provide Cao Cao's 200,000 army. Therefore, I think that as long as our army can defend Yanzhou, Cao's army will definitely be unable to support it because of the lack of food and fodder within a few months. Seeing Lv Bu asking, Chen Gong nodded and said what he thought in his heart.

As soon as Chen Gong said this, Lv Bu couldn't help nod. It must be that Lv Bu transferred only 30,000 soldiers and horses from Sizhou. Although 50,000 soldiers were recruited and surrendered in Yanzhou, these surrendered soldiers were obviously useless for a while. It seemed too reluctant to use Lv Bu's 30,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Cao Cao's 200,000 army. What's more, there is Yuan Shao behind Yanzhou. No one can say when Yuan Shao will come out to attack Lv Bu. Therefore, in this sense, Lv Bu needs more time and time to gradually master the new territory of Yanzhou, these newly recruited soldiers and horses, and let Jia Xu and Xun Yu train more soldiers. Soldier. In this battle with Cao Cao, Cao Cao can't afford to lose. Once Cao Cao Cao loses everything he has painstakingly managed for many years and withdraw from the stage of world hegemony. The same Lv Bu can't afford to lose. Once Lv Bu fails, the shortcomings of Lv Bu's army's lack of stamina will be revealed, thus making Lv Bu a delicacy that a group of princes compete to enjoy.

"In this case, the public station might as well talk about what we should do next." Lv Bu nodded and motioned Chen Gong to continue.

"First of all, Cao Cao knew that Yanzhou had been lost, and he would definitely lead a large army to take a shortcut to Yanzhou. Our army can set up an ambush on the road that Cao's army must pass. In addition, adults might as well report to the court, saying that Cao Cao was good at starting swords, attacking neighboring states and counties, and deposing all Cao Cao's official positions. Finally, adults can also write a letter and ask Xuzhou Tao Qian to send troops to pursue Cao's army. With these three points, I think Cao Cao is more anxious and difficult to fight. After Chen Gong slightly sorted out his thoughts, he said slowly.

However, it is said that Cao Cao led the army to Yanzhou on a starry night, and this day he went to the dangerous road to Mount Tai.

"The terrain here is dangerous, I'm afraid there will be an ambush." Seeing the steep terrain around him, Guo Jia said with a solemn face.

"I also know that Lv Bu is not a good person, but our army will run out of food and fodder. If we don't capture Yanzhou as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the three armies will be in chaos." Cao Cao knew that what Guo Jia said was reasonable, but he had no choice but to make the soldiers line up into a long snake array and pass quickly. He also made Xiahou Yuan lead the bow foot army and go to the high place in the mountains for a rainy day.

"This Cao Cao is really cunning and unexpectedly changed his position temporarily. My lord, what should we do? Seeing the movement of Cao Jun, Dian Wei beside Lv Bu couldn't help saying.

Although the mountains here are dangerous, in the face of the long snake array of 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Cao army, the preset ambush circle in the valley can only ambush 40,000 to 50,000 Cao troops, which also indicates that once the battle begins, the remaining 100,000 Cao troops are likely to surround the mountain from both sides and form the Lv Bu army on the mountain. Anti-encirclement.

"Hey hey, are we still afraid of being surrounded?" Hearing Dian Wei's words, Lv Bu just smiled and said, "Don't worry about others. We have only one goal, that is, Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao dies, everyone else is nothing."

"Master, there is a way to touch it. I'll deal with them." At this time, Zang Ba, who saw Xia Houyuan leading troops up to search the mountain, said.

"It seems that Cao Cao knows that we have an ambush." Lv Bu turned around and looked at the direction of Xia Houyuan, and then said to Zang Ba, "This battle is only allowed to be defeated but not won. Do you also want to go?"

Hearing Lv Bu's words, Zang Ba was stunned first, and then quickly shook his head and said, "Well, I won't go."

Hearing Zang Ba's words, Lv Bu also smiled and said to Taishi Ci next to him, "In the past, you and Cao Cao also had some friendship. Today, you can end this relationship."

"The general can rest assured that he knows what to do." After a deep look at Lv Bu, Tai Shici had understood Lv Bu's intention. In the past, Taishi Ci and Cao Cao had some friendship, but now the two armies are fighting, and they can no longer be in love on the battlefield. In the face of this situation, the ancients once said to retreat from Sanshes. Today, Lv Bu asked Taishi Ci to deal with Xiahou Yuan, which means to let Taishi Ci retreat.

However, it is said that Xia Houyuan, with a group of sergeants, was carefully searching for the traces of Lv Bu's army in the mountains and forests. Because of the dense mountains and forests, Xia Houyuan's speed was very slow. He looked around from time to time, trying to search for traces of the enemy from the surrounding scenery.

"Xiahouyuan, are you looking for me?" At this moment, a sudden sound came, followed by a shrill. A feather arrow shot in the air, but it took Xia Houyuan's throat.

Feeing the arrival of danger, Xia Houyuan squatted first, and then rolled on the ground.

At the same time, I only heard a "xiao" sound, and a feather arrow had been inserted in Xia Houyuan's original place.

"Ah, ah, ah." At this time, there were exclamation around Xia Houyuan. It turned out that while Taishi Ci launched an attack on Xia Houyuan, many soldiers around Xia Houyuan who were attacked made a scream.

"Lord Cao really guessed it well. There is indeed Lv Bu's ambush here." In the face of the sudden scene, Xia Houyuan did not have any nervousness. Instead, he smiled like this. Then he waved his hand to let the soldiers hide and sent soldiers to inform Cao Cao.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush. What should Cao Gong do now?" After receiving the news from Xiahou Yuan, Guo Jia quickly came to Cao Cao and said.

"Since it was discovered by us, it's nothing. Tell Xia Houyuan to figure out the scale of Lv Bu's army as soon as possible. In addition, it was ordered to ban Xu Huang and ask them to lead their troops to quickly support Xia Houyuan and eliminate these ambush Lv Bu's army as soon as possible. Although he knew that there was indeed an ambush by Lv Bu's army here, Cao Cao didn't care. He must have 200,000 troops on his side. Even if he really had nothing to worry about Lv Bu's brigade. At this moment, what Cao Cao really cares about is when his soldiers and horses can reach Yanzhou through here.

"Yes." Seeing that Cao Cao did not care too much about the situation in front of him, although Guo Jia felt that it was not appropriate, he could not say any reason to object, so he just opened his mouth and sent the order.

"Xiahouyuan, your archery is really good, but in the past, Cao and I were very close to public transportation. I'll let you go today. You can take care of yourself." In the face of Xia Houyuan, although Taishi Ci's archery was not weak, he only took some advantages at the beginning. With Xia Houyuan's gradual discovery of Tai Shici hidden in the dark, it was difficult for Tai Shici to take advantage of it, so Tai Shici decisively decided to retreat, but even if he retreated, Tai Shici did not want Xia Houyuan. It was beautiful, so he said to Xia Houyuan.

"Toshi, don't go." Hearing that Tai Shici was about to leave, the anger in Xia Houyuan's heart burned up. The appearance of Tai Shici made Xia Houyuan suffer a lot. At this time, Tai Shici wanted to leave, and Xia Houyuan could allow it, so he jumped out and shot an arrow at Tai Shici's hiding place.

What Xiahou Yuan didn't expect was that as soon as Xiahou Yuanfang jumped out, a cold arrow flew from the oblique thorn. Although Taishici said he was going to leave, he did not leave immediately. He just changed a place of hiding. At this time, he saw Xiahou Yuan jumping out and just released a cold arrow.

"It's so cunning." Knowing that he had been fooled, Xia Houyuan only had time to curse in his heart, but his whole body fell straight to the ground, and the feather arrows shot by Tai Shici were also coming at this time. He looked at the skirt that crossed Xia Houyuan and brought a trace of blood.

"It's a pity, but it's not bad." Seeing that his arrow failed, Tai Shici could only sigh and leave with the soldiers around him. Xia Houyuan's archery must be superb. Whether it is the perception, defense or control of the arrows, it is not comparable to Tai Shici. As long as he can be undefeated under the matter of Xia Houyuan, it will be an extraordinary performance.

With the departure of Tai Shici, the forest became silent again. Many Cao troops began to come out of their hiding place and looked around, but there was no sign of Lv Bu's army.

"Chasing me." Xia Houyuan stood up and spit out three words fiercely. After that, he got up and chased in the direction of Taishi Ci. However, with the ambush of spare money, the speed of Xia Houyuan's pursuit was much slower and more careful.

"It seems that Tai Shici has successfully attracted the attention of Cao Jun. Let's wait for Cao Cao." After waving his hand to let the soldiers sent by Tai Shici to send letters retreat, Lv Bu stretched out his head and looked at the Cao army, who still had a long snake array in the valley. Lv Bu said slowly.

"General Xiahou has repulsed some Lv Bu's troops and is continuing to search the mountains." A soldier stood in front of Cao Cao, bowed and said slowly.

"How many of our people have passed through the front valley?" After listening to the news from Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao did not make a sound, but turned his head and asked Guo Jia beside him.
