"Retreat?!" Lao Cao felt a bit bitter, really bitter. Xu Province was about to fall. As long as Lü Bu died in Xiapi, everything would be fine. Who would have thought that Lü Bu would break out of the encirclement. Originally, if you were in Kaiyang, then everything would be fine!
He didn't expect that his unintentional action would push Old Man Chen, push out the Chen family army, and now, attack Xiapi.
If he retreated now, then Lü Bu, this tiger, would really be releasing the tiger back to the mountain. Everything he had done before would really turn into bubbles. In the north, his childhood friend, Yuan Benchu, was about to pacify Liaodong. Once he finished, then his first stop would be his own Yan Province.
If he released Lü Bu, this tiger, he would have to face enemies from both sides.
He was unwilling to accept this!
"We can't retreat!" Guo Jia shook his head, "Although Chen Deng has besieged Xiapi, it will still take some time for him to break through it." Xiapi is where the provisions for a hundred thousand soldiers are stored. Once it is breached, hehe, Boss Cao should prepare to return home naked!
"Tomorrow, we must take Kaiyang tomorrow!" Cao Cao calmed himself down and was about to issue an order.
This night, many people couldn't sleep.
In Kaiyang, the Lvbu's Army had already prepared for a decisive battle tomorrow morning.
In Kaiyang, Lao Cao would have to kill Lü Bu even if he had to put his entire army on the line. After that, he would lead his army back to Xiapi and take down Guangling.
"Cao Jun is pulling out of camp?!" Zhang Liao looked at Cao Jun's large-scale movements and wondered. He immediately reported Cao Jun's movements to Lü Bu.
"Cao Jun's main camp is moving? It looks like they are pulling out of camp?! "Lü Bu was also puzzled. What was Cao Cao planning to do? Was he going to leave? Or?
If Cao Jun wasn't going to attack Kaiyang, then the rest of the Lvbu's Army would be very happy.
"No! Only Chen Gong's face darkened. Cao Jun's actions must mean that there is a problem at the rear! Chen Gong analyzed, "After Cao Jun conquered Xiapi, it can be said that Xu Province has been secured. Who can bring danger to his rear?" There are only two possibilities?! "
"Which two?" Lü Bu was puzzled.
"First, it is Hebei's Yuan Shao. If Hebei's Yuan Shao disembarks from Mengjing Port or attacks from Puyang, then Cao Jun will definitely retreat! This meant that Yuan Benchu had already conquered the entire Hebei region. Now, all that was left was the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Perhaps, we still had a chance to survive! However, before Xiapi was besieged, Yuan Shao hadn't conquered Hebei. Otherwise, Cao Cao wouldn't be able to rest assured and send his army to Xu Province! "If Yuan Shao had conquered Hebei at that time, then perhaps Lü Bu and Cao Cao would be allies now.
"The second thing is!" Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Lü Bu already knew. "Rations!"
"Yes, it is rations! Before the army moves, the rations move first! An army of 100,000 will need a lot of rations. Therefore, Cao Cao will definitely place the rations at the rear. Before attacking Xiapi, it might be in Xiaopei. After conquering Xiapi, it will be in Xiapi! "Chen Gong said.
"Someone attacked Xiapi?!" Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba were puzzled. In Xu Province, other than the Lvbu's Army, who else could conquer Xiapi? Even Lü Bu only has a few thousand people.
"Yes, there really is such a force!" Chen Gong said.
"Gongtai, you mean?!" Lü Bu's eyes lit up.
"That's right, it's Guangling Chen Deng!" Chen Gong replied, "My lord, your words on the plains really became an opportunity to save us!"
"Did Chen Deng avenge his father?!" Lü Bu narrowed his eyes and said. He didn't release Chen Deng on the plains because he wanted Chen Deng to save him. Instead, it was because he, Lü Bu, disdained to kill Chen Deng. He wanted to let Chen Deng see what kind of person Cao Mengde, whom he and his father chose, could bring to them.
"Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle!" Lü Bu sighed. He knew that even if Lao Cao's rear was attacked, he would not easily give up the opportunity to kill him.
"Gongtai, I will go patrol the city!" Lü Bu stood up and said.
"Okay!" Chen Gong watched Lü Bu go out. He knew that there was no city defense in Kaiyang right now. Tomorrow, Cao Jun would definitely attack with his entire army. He would not give up until he killed Lü Bu. Lü Bu went out to get some fresh air and some alone time.
In fact, sometimes Chen Gong would ask himself if it was worth it to follow Lü Bu. There was a time when he was confused. Hao Meng's betrayal was part of Chen Gong's plan. At that time, Chen Gong thought that Lü Bu would kill him. According to Lü Bu's heartless character, he would never allow a traitor. However, Lü Bu did not make a move! Instead, he stared at him. Was there doubt in his eyes? Was there disbelief? There was also a kind of loneliness.
Did he treat him as a family member? Chen Gong had only seen this kind of look in Lü Bu's eyes when he faced his family members.
It was this kind of look that made Chen Gong determined to follow Lü Bu until now.
Lü Bu walked out of the gate tower and looked at the soldiers who were paralyzed on the ground. They were all good soldiers and good brothers of Lü Bu. The night in Kaiyang was still very cold. Lü Bu saw many soldiers sleeping. They were too tired. The battle during the day had exhausted their spirit and energy. Even when they fell asleep, they were trembling.
"Hey!" Lu Bu took off his cloak and put it on the body of a few children whose faces are still immature. He could only do this much.
"En, en, en!" At the corner of the city wall, there was a painful groan. Lü Bu walked over to take a look. It was the man with the broken arm during the day. The cold wind and the wound on his arm made him feel unbearable pain. However, he did not cry out because he was afraid of disturbing the rest of his brothers.
"Does it hurt?" Lü Bu squatted down and asked.
"It hurts!" The man subconsciously replied. When he saw that it was Lü Bu, he wanted to kneel down but was stopped by Lü Bu.
"It is I, Lü Bu, who has let you down!" Lü Bu's eyes were bitter. He turned his head and did not let his tears fall. "Go to the gate tower and rest! Tomorrow will be our last battle!
"Whether it is success or failure, let the future generations tell the story! Tomorrow, I will let Cao Mengde see the most precious thing that I, Lü Bu, have obtained in my life! "Lü Bu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Shua!" Kaiyang City's citizens had almost all fled. When night fell, it was gloomy and there was no sign of life. Suddenly, a huge pillar of light fell from the sky.
"Puchi!" A sound fell from the sky. "Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly as he looked around. "This is too much!"
"Clatter, clatter, clatter." The sound of hooves sounded in this gloomy city.
