Xiahou Dun led three thousand soldiers to launch a charge to the hillside, but was attacked by Lu Bu and Jie Fan.

Back in front of Cao Cao, he told Cao Cao the whole process of the battle.

After listening to Xiahou Dun's story, Cao Cao frowned and his face looked very ugly.

Judging from the situation where Lu Bu led Jiefan's troops to fight back, they were not affected by the lack of food and grass at all.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little upset.

He signaled Xiahou Dun to retreat and rest first, and he asked Guo Jia: "What does Fengxiao view this matter?"

Guo Jia replied: "From Lu Bu's counterattack situation, their food and grass should be sufficient, and the soldiers were not hungry because of shortage of food."

"I said that Lu Bu knew the magic, otherwise why did he bring so little food and grass that he could eat for a month. Until now, the soldiers have not been exhausted and tired of war because of lack of food."

"Lord." Guo Jia replied: "Not to mention whether Lu Bu knows magic or not, the most important thing at the moment is that we have to send scouts first to find out if he has other ways to transport food and grass up the mountain."

"Do you suspect he opened up food and grass in other directions?" Cao Cao said inconspicuously: "If she had really opened up food and grass, our scouts would have discovered it long ago, and there would have been no reward yet. Fengxiao should remember that Lu Feng had returned to his youth overnight. If it weren't for the magic, how did he do it?"

Guo Jia also had a serious expression.

He didn't say anything, but he had some agreement with Cao Cao's statement.

Lu Bu’s performance in recent days is indeed very strange. He first returned to his youth overnight. After conquering Yuan Shu, he repeatedly took out new weapons, which made people unable to defend themselves.

Especially the rumored Air Force, although Guo Jia did not see it, he believed in its existence.

After all, not only on the battlefield, but also people have even said that the sky in Pengcheng can see soldiers soaring in the air almost every day.

What one person says, perhaps it is a rumor, or what two people say, will make people wonder. When three people say the same thing, even if the matter itself is fictional and exaggerated, it will most likely be believed by people.

If there are rumoring the same thing to a hundred people, thousands or even thousands of people, even if you don’t want to believe it, you have to believe it.

There is never any groundlessness, and even rumors will be exposed in a very short time.

Lu Bu's statement that the Air Force under him has been rumored to be very rumored, and when this statement was spread, no one tried to expose it.

It can be seen that the Air Force does exist, but it is not what Guo Jia knows whether it is on this battlefield.

"No matter whether he has a magic trick or not, I still think that the lord should send a scout to investigate first." Guo Jia said: "If Lu Bu really has a magic trick, we will think of other ways to deal with him. If he does not have a magic trick, our own random guesses will strengthen his momentum and invisibly affect the morale of his soldiers?"

Cao Cao still agrees with Guo Jia's statement.

He nodded and said to Guo Jia: "If Fengxiao thinks so, then follow Fengxiao. How many scouts are sent and wherever the scouts are inserted, it is up to Fengxiao to decide."

"Thank you for your conscience." Guo Jia immediately thanked Cao Cao, then said, "I will take a leave first, arrange the scout out, and report to the lord after I have a reply."

Looking at the hill where Lu Bu was stationed, Cao Cao looked very bad. When Guo Jia left, he just nodded silently.

Guo Jia retreated and came to the side to greet the guards: "Come."

The guard stepped forward.

"Send fifty scouts to surround the mountain and see if Lu Bu has deployed a secret passage for transporting food in between." Guo Jia ordered the guards.

The guard agreed and arranged the scouts at Guo Jia's order.

It didn't take long for fifty horses to leave the barracks and run towards the hill where Lu Bu was stationed.

On the hills, Lu Bu, who had just returned, also looked at Cao Jun.

The battle with Xiahou Dun made him feel that this battle was not easy to fight.

Let’s not talk about how brave Xiahou Dun is, no matter how brave he is, he will not be his opponent.

Let's only talk about the soldiers he brought.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, the Cao army soldiers brought by Xiahou Dun were not at all confused, and could maintain an orderly formation while fighting and retreating.

With such discipline and battlefield awareness, Lu Bu asked himself that his soldiers would never be able to do it.

With his eyebrows locked, Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao's military camp in the distance.

"Master Chu." Sun Ce came to him and asked him: "How did the soldiers who were fighting just now?"

Without looking back, Lu Bu's eyes remained at Cao Cao's camp: "We are really in big trouble this time."

"The Chu Hou meant..." Sun Ce didn't understand Lu Bu's meaning very well, and Lu Bu didn't say it too clearly, so he couldn't help asking.

Then Lu Bu turned his head and looked at him, smiled and said, "I have nothing else to do. I just think this battle will be difficult to fight, and it will be beyond our imagination."

"Please also ask the Hou Chu to make a clear statement," Sun Ce clasped his fists and asked Lu Bu to understand more clearly.

When talking like now, it is impossible for anyone to understand what Lu Bu said.

"I led Jiefan troops and encountered the enemy on the hillside." Lu Bu said: "I don't want to say how strong the enemy is. All I can say is that when they were defeated, the main general did not give any instructions. The soldiers consciously set up a retreat array, fighting with us while retreating out of the forest. When we chased outside the forest, the enemy soon came to support him. I knew that there was no benefit to continue fighting, so I immediately took the soldiers back."

"The Chu Hou knew the situation." Sun Ce said: "If I led the soldiers down the mountain, I would probably go all the way to Cao Cao's military camp."

"You only noticed that I judged the situation and took the soldiers to withdraw as soon as possible, why didn't you notice what was more important?" Lu Bu asked him.

Sun Ce was stunned when asked, and he asked Lu Bu: "What is more important about Chu Hou's words?"

"Even if they were defeated, they were still able to be in order, and set up a retreating array to fight with us while fighting." Lu Bu asked, "If it were replaced by Jiefan, do you think it could be done?"

"I guess..." Sun Ce frowned and said to Lu Bu: "For the current military combat, it is impossible to do it."

"Even you say that it is impossible to solve the problem with the current military force. If the other party was replaced by us, what would they think?" Lu Bu asked Sun Ce again.

Sun Ce was confused and didn't know how to respond.

"Xiefan is the elite that I have given you to train. But when I went to the battlefield just now, I realized that this elite is not as strong as I imagined. At least the discipline shown by the enemy when retreating is not our Jiefan can do." Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Sun Ce: "What is the elite? The elite does not just require one to make an effort to destroy the guards in an instant when attacking. For the elite, more importantly, when the situation on the battlefield is not conducive to us, they can maintain good discipline and calmly withdraw from the battlefield without any confusion."

Looking at Cao Cao's military camp again, Lu Bu said: "Our Jiefan troops cannot be considered elite, but the enemy we face are truly elite. So I said, this battle is not easy to fight."

The two were talking, and Zhao Yun came over.

When he arrived beside Lu Bu, he whispered: "Marty Chu, I just found that an enemy scout was circling the hill to investigate something."

"What else can they investigate?" Lu Bu's mouth slightly pulled: "They are just checking whether we have any secret passages to transport food and grass."

"The secret passage for transporting food and grass?" Sun Ce next to him said in surprise: "We are following Chu Hou, and we don't know that there is such an existence."

"Not only do you don't know, but I don't know either." Lu Bu smiled and said to the two of them: "Just let them investigate, don't pay attention."

"What Chu Hou said is that there is nothing to investigate anyway." Sun Ce smiled and said, "I don't know what Cao Cao would think after they investigated."

"Cao Cao's expression must be very good." Lu Bu said: "Since he came here, he has been worried about something. I thought about it carefully and he must be worried whether I understand the magic."

"Demonic Method?" Sun Ce and Zhao Yun looked at each other.

Zhao Yun said: "We have followed Chu Hou for so long and have never seen demonic techniques. How could Cao Cao have such a funny idea?"

"It's not that his thoughts are funny, but that when people encounter problems that cannot be explained, they always choose to use something beyond their existence to give these unexplained phenomena. Our military rations have been eaten for a month, and the soldiers have not been affected by insufficient military rations. You must know that there are not many supplies we bring up the mountain. Any scout with some experience on the battlefield can tell how long the military rations can be eaten. How could Cao Cao know that the soldiers we carry are not the military rations he knows, but the military rations that completely exceed his knowledge. I have never seen them, and I have never eaten them, and I don't know the wonderful use of this military ration. If you were the ones, what would you explain?"

Sun Ce looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun also looked at Sun Ce.

Zhao Yun replied: "What Chu Hou said is indeed reasonable. If it were me, I would definitely find a past statement for this matter on the grounds that the other party's general understands the magic."

"So, we don't have to pay attention to how they investigate. What we have to do is to stabilize the mountain and not give Cao Cao a chance to march." Lu Bu then ordered Zhao Yun: "Zilong, tonight, the Air Force was Cayenne to attack. He brought all the existing oil bottles and threw them into Cao Cao's military camp from mid-air. He had been confronting for so long, so he had to let Cao Cao see our Air Force. Otherwise, he would always be there to guess, and I was tired for him."

Zhao Yun bowed and bowed: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I will definitely make Cao Cao look good tonight."

*********************************************************

The scouts sent by Guo Jia went around the hills where Lu Bu was stationed for a whole day.

During the whole day, they investigated four or five times.

In the first time, the scouts found nothing.

But they still didn't give up. Since Lu Bu couldn't finish his food, and he only had so much supplies, the only explanation was that there must be a secret passage nearby to send the food to the mountain.

Otherwise, Lu Bu would not have been able to make the food and grass come to an end, but he could still fill his stomach with the soldiers.

The unwilling scouts walked around the mountain several times.

They searched for almost every suspicious place.

However, the so-called food channels were not found...

Although I didn't believe that there was no food road on the hillside from my heart, the facts were right in front of me, and the scouts could only take the results they had found and report to Guo Jia.

After getting the results from the scout, Guo Jia did not immediately report to Cao Cao.

He invited Xun You aside, and the two of them whispered about this matter in the open space of the military camp.

"Scout really didn't find the secret passage to transport food and grass up the mountain?" Xun You said in confusion: "According to the supplies Lu Bu brought up the mountain before, this shouldn't be like this at all..."

"I don't think so, either." Guo Jia replied: "But that's the case. Our scouts did not find any signs of him driving a secret passage near the hillside. No enemy ration trucks were coming here in various places leading to Xuzhou."

"There is no food, and no secret passage is opened to transport food." Xun You asked Guo Jia: "Is it possible that Lu Bu really has a magic trick?"

"That's hard to say." Guo Jia replied: "Zhang Jiao was able to sprinkle beans into soldiers back then, but why is it impossible for Lu Bu now? But I always feel that something that is hard to explain is inside..."

"What else can I not explain clearly?" Xun You replied: "Besides he understands the magic, I can't think of any more reasonable explanation. Why don't you report it to your lord first and see what he says..."

"The lord has long believed that Lu Bu understands the magic of evil." Guo Jia said: "This is what I am worried about. If he believes this way, it will definitely shake the morale of the soldiers of the three armies."

"You can talk to your lord alone," Xun You said: "It is impossible to hide these things from your lord. After all, they are military information. If you deliberately cover up the facts in order not to let your lord know, you will be a great sin."

Guo Jia nodded: "Gongda is right, I will report to the lord now."

"If you have the time to do filial piety," Xun You bowed.
