The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 445 Volume : Lu Fengxian has many strategies?
Mangdang means vast and broad.

Mangdang Mountain is the place where Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang killed the white snake and started the uprising, and the place where the Han Dynasty was revived... In terms of legendary color, this place is no less than the meteorite crater of the Battle of Kunyang.

As the only mountain range on the eastern Henan plain, it rises from the flat ground like a leaping dragon. Although it is not high and steep, its solitary peak stands out and is particularly steep, which can be called a barrier for thousands of miles of fertile plains!

In the past, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang chose to start the uprising here, probably because of the inherent advantage of Mangdang Mountain that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Cao Cao and Guo Jia, who were in Mangdang Mountain, saw the dawn in the east and waved their whips to reorganize their troops.

"It's time to give Lu Bu a fatal blow!"

The rear was surrounded. As long as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry defeated Lu Bu, Lu Bu could only wait for death in the encirclement!
Cao Cao couldn't help but hold his head high when he thought that he could finally win a great victory at the hands of the imperial court and defeat the unrivaled Lu Bu head-on!
He has waited too long for this battle!

"Forward! Let Zihe (Cao Chun) lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to march on the flanks. Conserve your energy. You must conserve your energy!"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be Cao Cao's trump card in this battle!
Coming out of Mangdang Mountain, Cao Cao's claws were as fast as lightning and his red robe behind him was blown up by the breeze, and it seemed that he was sure of victory!

"Mingsir! Lu Bu is five miles to the east of our army, galloping towards us!"

?

Cao Cao, who was originally full of high spirits, almost fell down from the Yellow Flying Claw!
Lu Bu, how did you find their traces?

Is it possible...

Cao Cao immediately thought he had fallen into Lu Bu's trap!

Could it be that Lu Bu had already discovered the whereabouts of himself and others, but pretended not to know, and then waited until he divided his troops and took the opportunity to attack them?
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's anxiety and doubt, and immediately comforted him: "Although Lü Bu is brave in battle, he is not good at using strategies."

"After finding out where you are, he immediately turned around and attacked you."

After hearing what Guo Jia said, Cao Cao finally calmed down.

Too……

What would happen if Lu Bu had such a plan?
Maybe he was just fighting on impulse, so he was coming towards me.

That being said...

"Yes."

Everyone around seemed terrified by Lu Bu's arrival, except Guo Jia, who always had that cynical smile on his face.

"Lü Bu is still surrounded by our army!"

"It's just that ordinary people would flee in panic when they know they are surrounded. Only Lu Bu, a fierce tiger, knows he is trapped, but still rushes towards you!"

Cao Cao felt relieved.

But then he brought it up again.

No matter what, that's Lu Bu!

Who wouldn't be terrified and nervous when thinking about Lv Bu getting close to them?

What if Lu Bu is still surrounded?

If Lu Bu could directly tear Cao Cao's main force to pieces, would it really matter whether this encirclement existed or not?

"Ming Gong, at this time, you should emulate the emperor."

Imitate the emperor?

Cao Cao did not understand what Guo Jia meant for a moment.

"In the Battle of Anyi, it was the Emperor's dragon banner that was present in the battle and delayed the armies of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, giving Guan Yu the opportunity to kill them and also buying time for Zhang Liao to break the formation."

"The reason why Lu Bu came to Mangdang Mountain now is probably because he knew that you are here."

Guo Jia's meaning is already very clear -

"Ming Gong, you can stay in Mangdang Mountain, attract the surrounding tribes to gather together, and eliminate Lu Bu in one fell swoop!"

"The plan to encircle Lu Bu has not changed. The only difference is that the person holding Lu Bu back has changed from General Che Zhou in Pengcheng to us in Mangdang Mountain!"

"As long as we defend the camp at all costs, Lu Bu will still end up being defeated here!"

The encirclement is still the same encirclement.

The only change is that the person defending Lu Bu changed from Che Zhou to Cao Cao!
However, Cao Cao was somewhat hesitant about this strategy.

"Che Zhou defends against Lu Bu, at least he has the advantage of Pengcheng city."

"But I am now defending against Lu Bu, and the only thing I can rely on is the geographical advantage of Mangdang Mountain!"

"The mountains and forests can indeed hinder the cavalry and greatly reduce Lu Bu's strength, but at the same time..."

But at the same time, Cao Cao's trump card, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, became useless!

Trapping one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own?

……

But after a moment of silence, Cao Cao agreed to Guo Jia's plan: "Okay!"

There is absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on battle with Lu Bu!

This is already a consensus among people all over the world, and it is impossible for Cao Cao not to know this.

If you want to defeat the ferocious beast Lu Bu, you must have enough patience, like an experienced hunter, so that you will have a slim chance.

If he rushed over at this time, Cao Cao would definitely be defeated!
"Retreat to Mangdang Mountain! Close the camp gates tightly!"

"Notify Cao Xiu in Chenliu, Shi Huan in Fengxian, Han Hao in Peixian, and Che Zhou in Pengcheng, and have them come as soon as possible to encircle and suppress Lu Bu!"

"Here!"

Just as he walked out of Mangdang Mountain with high spirits, now he returns to Mangdang Mountain with a look of dejection.

Morale is boosted once, weakened twice, and exhausted three times.

The Cao army soldiers, who had been inspired by the Red Dragon and the prophecy of "Teng Gongbi", were now worried again and their morale was low.

Although Cao Cao observed all this, he was powerless to correct it.

Just because...

Lu Bu has already arrived in front of the camp!

With shoulders folded, face powdered, sword-like eyebrows, a pair of handsome eyes, clear white, and a nose like a jade pillar. The red rabbit under his crotch held its head high and chest puffed out. It was obviously just a war horse, but at this moment, it made people feel that the world was under its hooves!
The Han Dynasty now has the General of Cavalry, Marquis of Champion, and Pillar of the State.

The only Han warrior who killed the fleeing Chanyu, conquered the Wolf's Lair, and was an unrivaled warrior who could drink from the vast sea!
Cao Cao stared at the arrogant Lu Bu, but suddenly remembered a poem written by the emperor in the past:

"The flying general shoots at the Chanyu, and the red rabbit neighs and chases Yanyun!"

Just one person here can put a lot of pressure on people!

"Fengxian, long time no see!"

Cao Cao, dressed in golden armor, stood at the camp gate and shouted at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu laughed wildly.

"Cao Mengde! Why is your voice so thin? Like a woman's? Do you dare to come out and talk to me?"

While Lu Bu was shouting, he also looked around at the location where Cao Cao had set up his camp.

It is backed by rocks and protected by stone walls on both sides. There is only a rugged goat path in the middle leading from the bottom to the camp gate.

If we attack by force, it will definitely be inappropriate.

So Lu Bu began to wonder if he could lure Cao Cao out and have him fight him!
When Cao Cao heard Lu Bu humiliating him, his face turned red.

It was Guo Jia who pulled Cao Cao's sleeve and finally calmed him down.

"Mingsong, you must remember the old things of our great ancestor!"

During the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu captured Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, and threatened to cook Liu Taigong into a meat soup if Liu Bang did not surrender.

Liu Bang was unmoved by what he heard, and even asked Xiang Yu to give him a bowl of soup...

Isn’t this moment the exact same moment?

If we were to be provoked by Lu Bu and leave the camp to fight him at this time, then everything would be over!

Therefore, Cao Cao also shouted to Lu Bu: "I am not strong enough, please come forward and talk!"

Cao Cao didn't expect Lu Bu to really come forward.

But Lu Bu actually rode his Red Hare towards Cao Cao’s camp gate!

With every step the Red Hare took forward, the soldiers in Cao's camp breathed heavier.

Although there was only one person, at this moment, all the soldiers in Cao's camp had an absurd idea -

As long as Lu Bu wanted, he would be an army of thousands and could easily break through the camp outside!

Cao Chun, who led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, was sweating profusely: "Can the former overlord Xiang Yu be as powerful as Lu Bu today?"

……

Fortunately, Lu Bu stopped when he was a hundred steps away from the gate of Cao’s camp.

This stagnation inexplicably made everyone in Cao's camp feel relieved.

Obviously, the distance was already within the range for shooting with bows and arrows, and obviously, Cao's soldiers already had an advantage at this distance, but no one dared to shout the slogan of shooting Lu Bu at this time.

Even the people in Cao’s camp didn’t dare to have such thoughts!
Lu Bu carried the Fang Tian Hua Ji on his shoulder and scratched his ears lazily.

"Cao Mengde! It's been ten years since we parted at Hulao Pass. How come you keep going back in time?"

"Since your son Cao Pi once gave me a generous gift, if you surrender now, I can promise not to kill you. How about that?"

Cao Pi...

When Cao Cao heard this name, he felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest.

Faced with a powerful enemy, his own son once gave a generous gift to the enemy general...

"By the way, Cao Mengde, you may not know!"

"Your two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, have both passed the imperial examinations! They ranked second and third! And your daughter, Cao Jie, has been named a concubine by the emperor. She will become a concubine sooner or later! Oh... and your wives have also been given imperial titles by the emperor!"

"Cao Mengde! If you still have any conscience, open the camp gate and surrender immediately. Don't resist stubbornly!"

……

This was the first time Cao Cao heard this news.

But when he heard that his family was living a relatively comfortable life, Cao Cao was not happy at all. Instead, a layer of gloom appeared on his face.

really!

The soldiers in Cao’s camp are already discussing this matter!

"Why is the emperor so kind to Minggong's wife?"

"Yes! You said that the emperor is so good to Ming Gong's wife, why do you want to go against the emperor?"

"Who knows? But have you ever thought about a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"The emperor is so kind to Ming Gong's wife and family, even if Ming Gong is defeated, it's fine... But can our families be exempted from responsibility like Cao Gong's wife and family?"

"hiss……"

All kinds of discussions further depressed the morale of Cao's camp.

Cao Cao also gnashed his teeth as he looked at Lü Bu who was standing outside with an indifferent expression: "Lü Fengxian! I haven't seen you for ten years. How come you have become so skillful with your words? Have you learned how to sow discord?"

Sow discord?

Have it?

Lu Bu was stunned by these words...

Did what I just said mean to sow discord?

Why don’t I know it myself?

I swear to God, Lu Bu just wanted to make Cao Cao surrender just because Cao Pi gave him ten beautiful maids!
