"Fengxiao, what about Zhang Xiu's recent news?"

"Return to the lord, according to the scout report, Zhang Xiu was already in a state of great trouble during this period. The Jingnan barbarians have not decided for a long time, and Sun Ce of the Eastern Wu has successively captured Danyang and Yuzhang County."

"Zhang Xiu sent Gan Ning to lead the army to fight, but only occupied a few county towns north of Yuzhang. At this time, Sun Ce had already stationed his troops to confront Zhang Xiu. I'm afraid that the two of them will have a battle at the beginning of the spring of the next year."

Guo Jia smiled gently and said cheerfully.

Cao Cao laughed heartily, raised his foot on the chariot, lying on his side indecently, quite proud.

At this time, he laughed happily and said, "Zhang Xiu's son makes trouble with me. He really thinks that I, Cao Mengde, is no match for him. When I pacify Lu Bu, I will attack him in Nanyang next year."

"At that time, I will attack Jingzhou from east to north and from both sides. It is just a dry bone in the tomb. How can it run rampant?"

As he said that, Cao Cao's eyes slid slightly and his five fingers slid slightly. Nanyang, he had been coveting for a long time. If he could take Nanyang before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, he would definitely have severely damaged Zhang Xiu.

Then his chances of winning will increase by more than 10%.

Guo Jia didn't answer the conversation, but he knew that if Lu Bu was taken before the cold winter, Cao Cao would definitely conquer Nanyang next year. After all, Cao Cao was determined to be the world, so how could he not know Zhang Xiu's plan?

If Nanyang did not take over and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought to the decisive battle, then Xuchang would inevitably be empty. According to Zhang Xiu's personality, he would not let Cao Cao be big.

At that time, if Cao Cao wins, Zhang Xiu will raise his troops to Nanyang to attack Xuchang. If Cao Cao is unable to support him, Zhang Xiu will seize the river and defend himself to resist Yuan Shao.

Therefore, this is also the most critical reason why Cao Cao trained Sun Ce, because if Zhang Xiu wanted to reject Yuan Shao, he had to occupy the Yangtze River, and in this way he would definitely conquer Yangzhou.

At that time, Sun Ce could share Zhang Xiu's military strength for him to prevent him from being attacked by Zhang Xiu by surprise.

At the same time, on the top of the city.

Looking at Cao Jun who was retreating like a tide, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and was so middle-aged that he no longer wanted to fight for dominance in the world.

As soon as Cao's army retreated not far away, Xu Huang brought up the axe, raised the axe in his hand, and pointed at him and shouted: "Lu Bu, listen, my lord ordered the dike to break the dike and flood the city."

"But my Lord, thinking of the people, cannot bear to kill innocent people, so he ordered me to come. If you still ignore the lives and death of the people in the city for your own selfish interests, don't blame my Lord for breaking the dike and hiding the city."

"Breaking the dike and flooding the city?"

After listening to Xu Huang's words, the soldiers on the top of the city were stunned and looked at each other, with a look of panic in their expressions. The dam breaking affects their wives, children, and children.

Once the dam breaks, the people in the city will undoubtedly die.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Lu Bu.

When the war reached this point, they no longer wanted to continue. It would be better if Lu Bu could surrender.

On one side, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others also frowned and looked at Lu Bu. The most terrifying thing about storing the city is to suck, not flooding. Once the Si River flows backwards, the people of Xia Pi have nowhere to drink water.

"Hmph, if Cao Aman has the courage, he will lead his army to attack. What is the ability to divert water and flood the city?" Lu Bu said angrily.

"Lu Bu, do you really want to ignore the lives and death of the people in the city for your own selfish interests? As long as you surrender to the city, my Lord will promise you wealth and glory, otherwise..."

Xu Huang looked at the slightly turbulent soldier on the top of the city, but he sneered in his heart. He had already thrown the problem to Lu Bu, and he might be afraid that once Guancheng was in a morale would collapse.

"Hmph," Lu Bu shouted coldly, "Bow comes!"

As he said that, he took the treasure bow handed over by a guard, bent his bow and arrows in one go. Then, with a sound of sound, the arrow shot out quickly.

Looking at the speed that was unattainable to the naked eye, Xu Huang was so scared that he was sweating coldly. He hurriedly leaned his head to avoid it. He felt that his head lightened, and the arrow shot his helmet down.

"Lu Bu, if you want to toast, you will be punished for wine," Xu Huang said, and then slapped his horse and left. He never expected that Lu Bu's archery skills were so good.

You know, he has stood outside the ground with an arrow, and he can easily shoot it, which is indeed very human.

"General, Xia Pi City is low in terrain. If the enemy really leads backwards, my Xia Pi City will become a vast ocean! I hope the general puts the people first."

A general said in a deep voice.

A trace of fierce look flashed across Lu Bu's sword eyebrows. He looked at the talking general, scaring the latter to panic all day long.

Lu Bu looked around and shouted, "My Xia Pi City is indestructible. How could you worry about Cao Cao's little tricks? You should lead the army and stick to it, and you must not lose it."

"No!" The civil and military officials under his command nodded and responded.

After explaining this, Lu Bu strided towards the mansion, and not long after walking out, he ran into Chen Gong head-on.

The latter's face was full of anxiety, and his expression was burning. He quickly came up and shouted, "Fengxian, I heard that Cao Cao was preparing to break the dike and flood the city? Is there anything wrong?"

"Hmph, Cao Cao's son is a rat. If he can't defeat me from the front, he wants to use these methods of stealing and stealing. But don't worry, my Xuzhou city is indestructible, and Cao Cao is still difficult to break." Lu Bu replied.

"My good lord, once Xia Pi is flooded, the people in the city will be seriously injured, and the soldiers will be even more unscrupulous. No matter how strong the city wall is, it will be useless."

"Hey, Fengxian must not listen to me as soon as possible. If you set up a village outside the city that day, how could you have this passive situation today?" Chen Gong said with a look of regret.

Lu Bu pursed his lips, and was a little difficult to refute, and then he became a little more anxious. He clasped his fists and said sincerely: "Would you have any good ideas to help me withdrew from the enemy?"

"Since the general doesn't believe in the palace, why do you have to find a plan?" Chen Gong shook his head and snorted coldly: "But for the current plan, you can only stick to it. As long as you can last until winter, Cao's army will retreat."

Thinking of this, Chen Gong said again: "It will take several hours to break the dike and divert water. The people don't care about it. Fengxian, now you can ask your soldiers to station and place military supplies such as arrows, armor, and dry firewood to store and high places."

"In addition, collect ships and collect well water. The more the better. Place them all in high places. After flooding the city, there will be no drinking water to eat."

Lu Bu nodded, "I'll make arrangements now."

Looking at Lu Bu's sprinting back, Chen Gong sighed: "I hope it's still time."

At night, on both sides of the river bank.

At this time, countless soil had been piled up on both sides of the river bank, leading out a waterway, leading to Xia Pi City not far away. On both sides of the waterway, torches were waving, and there were sounds of low shouts and urging sounds from time to time.

In the dark, several scouts lay tightly on the ground, observing the movements of the enemy not far away.

After a while, the scouts led the team to whisper: "Go and report to the lord. The enemy troops in the river are about to be completed, and they may break the dike and flood the city in half an hour."

As the words fell, under the night, the scout walked away without alarming anyone.

The foot of Gezhe Mountain in the north of the city,

At night, Zhang Xiujun lurked in the mountains and forests. Along the way, Zhang Xiujun hid in the daytime and left at night, which was considered to have avoided a lot of eyes and ears.
