System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Cheng Yu frowned and spoke hesitantly.

"Zhongde, between you and me, feel free to speak."

Cao Cao put down the letter and turned to Cheng Yu and said.

"Ah."

"So, I always feel that we have entered a misunderstanding."

"Tell me, if we launch a surprise attack now, can we catch Lu Bu and his men off guard?"

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and asked.

"Ok?"

"Eh, eh, eh?"

"It seems...it seems to be the case."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lao Cao was a smart man. After breaking out of his habitual thinking, he suddenly felt that what Cheng Yu said was definitely a rare opportunity for battle.

Now Lu Bu and others agreed that they needed to wait until the farming was over.

Inertial thinking is a very scary way of thinking.

Once a person enters it, it is difficult to jump out without external force.

Even the smartest people will occasionally fall into this kind of thinking.

Having limited thinking is an extremely terrible thing for a commander.

"My lord, Zhongde's words make sense."

Xi Zhicai showed a look of joy and immediately agreed.

"Hahahaha, wonderful, wonderful."

"Zhongde is truly my Zifang."

Cao Cao laughed out loud. He had forgotten how long it had been since he had laughed so comfortably.

"..."

Xi Zhicai smacked his lips, feeling that this sentence sounded so familiar.

Cao Cao was a man who loved to laugh.

He is also quite optimistic.

But this time, with the rebellion in Yanzhou, he really felt under tremendous pressure.

This also made him lose his former smile and optimism.

"Juancheng is over 400 miles away from Chenliu."

"But Jiyin is still in our hands, and Yu Jin and Li Dian are stationed here."

"I can lead the army to march at night, first to Jiyin, and then go around to Chenliu from the south."

"Although the journey is a bit long, it can avoid the enemy's eyes and ears."

Cao Cao walked quickly to the map and moved his fingers on it.

"My lord, this is a very good idea."

Xi Zhicai nodded and agreed.

"indeed."

"It would be difficult for the enemy to anticipate our early deployment."

"So there weren't many scouts and spies targeting Juancheng."

"Not to mention the area south of Jiyin."

Cheng Yu also stroked his beard and agreed.

At this time, Cao Cao had been baptized by many major battles, and his military skills were no longer as naive as when he first debuted.

Although he is still a little behind his peak period, he is very close.

"it is good."

"I'll pass the order here, have the soldiers ready to go."

"It's better to set off tonight than to wait."

"After I leave, Zhicai, Zhongde, Juancheng will be handed over to you."

Cao Cao made a prompt decision and didn't want to delay for a moment.

"Don't worry, my lord. We will defend Juancheng to the death for you."

Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai bowed in response.

陈留

These days, Xiahou Dun has been living a very comfortable life.

They enjoyed good food and wine, and Lu Bu did not let him suffer any injustice.

There's nothing we can do about it, they're valuable.

Not counting the 3,000 Cao soldiers, Xiahou Dun himself was a walking supply of 50,000 shi of grain.

This money will be returned sooner or later. If you serve him well now, you may be able to get more ransom in the future.

"Mm, it's delicious, would you like some?"

Xiahou Dun continued to disassemble the parts of the roast chicken while speaking to Lu Bu.

"No, no need."

"Just eat it yourself."

Lu Bu shook his head, then picked up a pen and wrote it down in the booklet.

On April 21st, Xiahou Dun ate three chickens and drank a jar of Du Kang tea.

"General, Zhang Miao is back."

"He looked so dusty and dirty, obviously he had suffered a defeat."

Cui Yan walked quickly from outside the hall and said to Lu Bu.

"what?"

"Didn't he lead 40,000 troops?"

"Even if we lose, it won't happen this quickly."

"It's only been four days since he set out."

"It's not even long enough for him to walk from here to Juancheng."

Lu Bu frowned and asked in disbelief.

What a joke!

It will take at least seven or eight days to march from here to Juancheng.

You've only been back for four days?

"According to their own account, they led their army to Yuanju, where they were ambushed by Yu Jin and Li Dian."

"Out of a force of 40,000, over 6,000 were killed or wounded."
