Chapter 4 Lv Bu left the city

As night falls, Xia Pi, trapped for several months, is immersed in a dead silence.

Cao Cao once lured Yishui and Sishui flooded the city. The houses in the city collapsed, and there were still stains of the flood receding on the ground and the still-standing walls.

Lu Bu rode the Red Rabbit horse, wondering if he felt that he was not his former master, and the Red Rabbit stepped on his front hooves from time to time, looking a little anxious.

Behind him are two hundred elite cavalry who are about to leave the city.

Trapped for several months, the city was short of supplies, the soldiers were thin and stood in the cold wind on horseback, their frozen lips were purple.

When he mentioned Fang Tian’s painting halberd, Lu Bu pointed out outside the city: "I will take you out of the city tonight. There are tens of thousands of Cao troops outside the city. I will ask you one question, are you afraid or not?"

"Not afraid!" He shivered from the cold, and the two hundred people responded in unison.

Lu Bu was once a myth that the soldiers chased, but Cao's army besieged Xia Pi. His performance dimmed the light of the myth, and the soldiers of the three armies felt that they had lost their backbone.

Lu Bu, who stood in front of them, was so proud that the former god of war had been resurrected, so of course they were not afraid!

"Cao Aman attempted to destroy me, how could I allow him to succeed?" Lu Bu said: "Tonight we will go and burn his food and grass so that he can retreat without food!"

Looking up at the sky, Lu Bu said in a calm and solemn tone: "Success and failure are tonight! If the heaven helps me, I will follow the way of heaven. If the heaven destroys me, I will fight to kill the sky!"

Holding a halberd in one hand, pointing at the city gate, Lu Bu shouted: "Follow me out of the city!"

While Lu Bu left the city, Cao Cao's tent was brightly lit.

Sitting on the top was a middle-aged man wearing golden armor and his face was slightly red due to the rush of wine, his eyes were slightly closed but his splendor flashed, and his body was of medium size but showed a heroic spirit.

He was nothing but Cao Cao who led his troops to besiege Xia Pi.

He picked up the wine bottle and Cao Cao said to everyone in the tent: "I have been unable to break the attack on Xia Pi for a long time, and I have already developed the intention to retreat. Fortunately, Fengxiao and others advised me that today I have forced Lu Bu to the end of my journey. I have worked hard to fight with me, and I respect you all!"

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and replied: "Mr. Cao is mighty, and we are willing to follow him to the death!"

After drinking the glass of wine, the man sitting stood up.

This person has fair skin and a figure that is similar to Cao Cao. His facial features are ordinary. The most eye-catching thing is his pair of wind-catching ears that are much bigger than ordinary people.

After getting up, he held the wine glass and said, "Mr. Cao has become a martial ethics. Who dares to disobey the heroes of the world? What is the mere lyrics Lu Bu?"

The one who stood up and spoke was Liu Bei, who was driven out of Xuzhou by Lu Bu, who had joined Cao Cao earlier.

Cao Cao laughed and said to Liu Bei: "I am ashamed of Xuande saying this! Lu Bu has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men. If he wasn't too stubborn, it would be really difficult to deal with. It would be a blessing for us to be today."

"Lu Bu knows everything about the world, but he is so capricious that he is trapped in Xia Pi, except for the prefect Zhang Yang of Hanoi, no one comes to save him." Liu Bei said: "The so-called only man is like this. Cao Gong defeated him and followed the way of heaven."

"How about Xuande taking charge of Xuzhou when he defeated Lu Bu?" Cao Cao asked Liu Bei with a slight pull of the corner of his mouth.

Liu Bei quickly bowed and replied, "I am grateful to you all the time. I just want to stay by Cao Gong's side and hold the horse and saddle, and I dare not have any other extravagant hopes."

Cao Cao laughed and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande is so proficient in human nature, I don't think you can find a reason if you don't value it!"

"Lord!" A general stood up and asked Cao Cao: "Lu Bu is over, why haven't he yet led his troops to attack the city? If he attacked the city, the last general would be willing to lead the way!"

The general who stood up was as strong as a mountain, with a black gauze covering his left eye. It was Xiahou Dun, who had been blinded by Cao Xing's arrow.

"Yuan Rang, don't be anxious. If you siege Lu Bu for a few more days, when he loses morale, will we achieve twice the result with half the effort?" Cao Cao said with a smile.

Everyone was drinking wine, and a riot suddenly came from outside.

"Lu Bu is here, fight quickly!" The soldiers in the military camp ran out of the tent, running around like headless flies, and shouting in a different tone.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao suddenly stood up: "Go and have a look!"

Several generals then ran out.

After a while, Xiahou Dun walked in.

He said to Cao Cao in a panic: "Lord, Lu Bu brought two hundred elite cavalry out of the city. Our army was not prepared and was actually rushed over by him."

"Where has he gone?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.

"He's heading towards Geyi Mountain!" Xiahou Dun replied.

"Not good!" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this and woke up most of the time: "Our army's food and grass are at the foot of Geyi Mountain. Lu Bu is about to cut off our army's food and send people to pursue him quickly!"

Xiahou Dun and others received the order to release the tent, and Liu Bei also said to Cao Cao: "I am willing to lead the troops to share the worries for Cao Gong!"

"I'll give you five hundred soldiers to intercept!" Cao Cao shouted.

Liu Bei was ordered to leave.

Most of the people in the handsome tent went out, and Cao Cao sat down dejectedly, his frowning and his face turned much worse than before.

"Don't be anxious, lord." A tall and thin strategist next to him stepped forward and said, "Lu Bu only brought two hundred elite cavalry and our army sent troops to pursue him, so he couldn't do anything big."

"I refused Lu Bu once begged for surrender. I was just wondering why he suddenly had the determination to leave the city?" Looking at the counselor who was consoling, Cao Cao asked, "Fengxiao, what should we do next?"

"Our army has not attacked the city for a few days. Only when Lu Bu has given him a chance to breathe, he dared to take a desperate attempt." Guo Jia said: "Now that Lu Bu is not here, it is a great opportunity to attack the city. Don't miss it again!"

He stood up with a cold face, and Cao Cao ordered to his left and right: "Send the order and attack the city immediately!"

The order was issued to the army, and Cao's army, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately launched an attack on the city.

On the top of the city, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led their troops to defend the city. Under the city, Cao's army rushed towards the city wall like a flood.

Arrows intertwined as dense as rain. Cao's army put the ladder on the city wall, and the siege tower approached the city step by step.

The soldiers guarding the city carried stones and rushed to the Cao army who had climbed the city.

Holding the weapons tightly, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were ready to fight with the Cao army with heavy infantry.

Leading two hundred elite cavalry to rush through Cao's camp, Lu Bu rode his horse and ran towards Geyi Mountain.

"General, someone is chasing me!" A voice came from behind him.

Looking back, he saw torches jumping in the distance and chasing them.

Since they were cavalrymen, they always kept a certain distance from the pursuers behind them.

"Ignore it, it's important to burn the enemy's rations!" Lu Bu shouted and continued to move forward.

Two hundred elite cavalry followed closely and rushed to the place where Cao's army stationed grain.

After nearly an hour of speeding, a military camp appeared in front of Lu Bu.
