A sharp look appeared on Guo Jia's face and analyzed:

"Prime Minister, I expected that Lu Bu and Chen Gong not only sent out this cavalry, but also sent out their camp.

The trapped camp must have spared our retreat, and we will go ahead from the small road in advance, and meet with the small army of Lu Zhe who burned food and grass.

Lu Bu Chen Gong wanted to drag our army to exhaustion and then attack our army with Gaoya and Wei Yue.

It caused heavy losses to our army and even wiped out the entire army!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face became even more gloomy, but then he suddenly laughed again: "You Chen Gong, you are so cruel! But it's interesting to play like this! If the original person easily destroys Lu Bu, it would be meaningless!"

In his impression, Lu Bu, a two-player, could not think of such a fierce and effective strategy except for being brave!

Cao Cao thought that this plan must have been made by Chen Gong.

There was a glimmer of admiration in Guo Jia's eyes and he looked at the Prime Minister.

Cao Cao continued: "Yongxiao, I am lucky to have you, otherwise, I will definitely be plotted by Chen Gong this time. Tell me your suggestions!"

"After this matter, retreating has become a solution for the poor! We can only go all out and go back and attack Xia Pi with all our might! We will try to take down Xia Pi City before the food and grass is exhausted!

I estimate that within seven days, our army will be able to dig the Si River and pray to the river, attracting heavy water to irrigate into Xia Pi!

As long as Xia Pi is destroyed, we can not only destroy Chen Gong and Lu Bu, but also get the food and grass inside. Even if the food and grass are flooded by water, they can still be eaten and filled in a short period of time, so there is no need to worry that the soldiers will mutiny because they have no food.

Xuchang and Xun Yu can also transport new food and grass again calmly!" Guo Jia said with a clear expression on his face.

"In addition, because of Chen Gong and Lu Bu were sent out a large number of troops, it is estimated that Xia Pi City is in a state of emptiness. They would not have thought that our Cao army would suddenly return. It is a good time to break Xia Pi!" Guo Jia added.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "Okay, I have you, Guo Fengxiao, I am really like God's help!"

"The Prime Minister praised it!" Guo Jia said modestly.

Cao Cao said: "You don't have to be humble to be filial! Okay, the army stops moving forward and summons to discuss!"

Soon the army stopped advancing, stationed on the spot, camped and set up fires to cook.

Wei Yue, who was following behind Cao's army, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when Gao Ya saw this.

"It seems that the Cao army retreated calmly and did not give us a chance to attack at all. What should we do?" Wei Yue said.

He found that Cao Cao had already placed the archers behind the army. If his cavalry launched an attack, there would be arrows everywhere, and he would suffer heavy losses.

It was a bit difficult for Wei Yue and the others to attack.

Gao Ya frowned and said, "It seems that Cao Jun doesn't want to retreat! We will report this news to Mr. Chen and wait for him to reply."

"Yes!" Wei Yue agreed.

...

On the way Cao Cao retreated to Xuchang, Ye Huai held the Fang Tian Painted Gaul and rode on the divine horse Red Rabbit Horse. Behind him, the Eighteen Cavalry was like the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, who was coming from the underworld and soaring into the sky.

Not long ago, they destroyed Cao Cao's food and grass transport team and killed thousands of enemies.

The combat power of Ye Huai and the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun is extremely terrifying.

At this time, Ye Huai looked towards Xia Pi, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

I wonder if Cao Cao would be fooled and continue to withdraw his troops, so as to give him a chance to wipe him out?!

What Ye Huai is most worried about is the genius Guo Jia. This guy is too smart and cunning. I wonder if the other party has seen through his plan!

Ye Huai thought for a while and then stopped thinking about this issue.

If this plan fails, he has a backup plan.

Ye Huai made up his mind to be afraid of Cao Cao this time, so that Cao thieves dared not provoke him easily in the future!

At this time, Ye Huai remembered that there was another famous general summoning card that was not used.

He focused his mind on the summoning card and said intimately: "Summon now!"

...

On the other side, Wei Yue's cavalry soon rushed back to Xiapi City and met Chen Gong.

"Cao Cao's military rations were less than eight days, but he delayed so much. All this was not in line with common sense..." Chen Gong pondered after learning about this.

"Is it true... as the lord said, the masters in the Cao army are likely to see through my first plan and my lord's plan, and then they will jump over the wall, and then burn their boats and attack Xia Pi to the death?" Chen Gong paced back and forth.

Soon, a decisive light flashed in his eyes and said, "It seems that my first plan and my lord have been seen through by Cao's thief! There are experts in Cao's thief's camp! In this way, we can only implement the second plan!"

When Chen Gong and Ye Huai discussed strategies against Cao's army, they formulated two combat plans in total. One of them was the one that had been implemented earlier, ambushing the exhausted Cao army halfway.

If this plan is completed, Lu Bu can seize the greatest fruit of victory at the lowest price!

The second is the alternate plan. If Cao Zhe sees through Plan 1, he will start Plan 2.

Chen Gong said to the cavalry in a deep voice: "Go back immediately and pass on the order of this military advisor: order Wei Yue and Gao Ya to lead the cavalry to retreat overnight.

However, instead of withdrawing back to Xia Pi, he secretly retreated to the dense forest on the left outside Xia Pi City. After the lord returned, he rushed out and attacked Cao's army!

Remember to be secretive and not let Cao’s army notice the abnormality!”

"Yes, military advisor!" The cavalry took the order and left!

Chen Gong said again: "Come here, go through the path immediately, and quickly whip it to report to the lord that the thief Cao would not retreat and counterattack Xia Pi!"

"Yes!" An elite sentry took the order and left.

Then, Chen Gong sent another person to inform Gao Shun and Zang Ba of the camp.

After all these arrangements, Chen Gong recruited Zhang Liao and other remaining generals and began to arrange the task of defending the city.

They all knew that next would be a fierce battle.

Cao Cao really wants to attack Xia Pi crazily, attacking at any cost!

Originally, because of the strong enemies such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was preparing to preserve his strength, take Xia Pi and capture Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others.

But now, he was forced to fight for his life and conquer Xia Pi at all costs.

Only by taking Xia Pi can Cao Cao have a way out.

The city defense was quickly mobilized, and a large amount of military supplies were moved to the city.

A big battle is about to begin.

However, some generals in the city were worried about whether they could defend Xia Pi!

Because the unparalleled general Lu Bu was not in the city, and the camp was not in the city. Gao Ya, Wei and Yue took away 1,500 cavalry, and the remaining troops in the city were not large, with only less than 4,000 people left.

However, Cao Cao had more than 30,000 elite soldiers, and the number was more than 7 times that of Xia Pi’s defenders.

The hope of defending Xia Pi City is a bit slim!

When Chen Gong arranged everything and checked the good city defense, it was already late at night.

He returned to the main hall where he lived alone.

As soon as they entered the door, three people suddenly rushed in from outside. They were holding swords and had bad intentions.

Chen Gong saw clearly that these three people were Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and Song Xian.
