It can even be said that even if you want to buy food, you have no money left.

After occupying Puyang City, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to seal up the treasury and check the finances and food.

Because Lu Bu's army withdrew in a hurry and did not take away too many things, the property and food were still there.

In order to defend the city, Cao Cao immediately plundered all the property in the warehouses of Puyang City. That night, he purchased a catapult and ten flaming stones.

For the sake of safety, the Flame Stone has been sent to a dedicated person to keep it safe so that the last situation will never happen again.

When he thought of what happened in Juancheng, Cao Cao regretted it endlessly. It was only after the incident that he realized that he had only thrown one flaming stone, but he had detonated the eight flaming stones he had placed there, almost causing the city wall to collapse.<

/p>

If his eight flame stones were properly kept, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to break into the city that day.

The most important thing is that the catapult I bought for 100,000 gold coins will not be blown to pieces!

Cao Cao felt heartbroken when he thought of how easily the catapult he had exchanged for a large amount of copper coins was destroyed.

Cao Hong came from behind, raised his hands and said, "My lord, the spies came back to report that Lu Bu's army was stationed ten miles away and did not come over."

Lu Qian, who was standing aside, frowned and said, "If Lu Bu can't come, doesn't he want to attack the city?

But just stay there and waste food in vain?"

Cao Hong snorted coldly, "I think Lu Bu knew that he couldn't break the city, so he stopped there and let them consume it. It would be better to use up all the food. That would be better."

Cheng Yu shook his head, "No matter what, we can't be careless. What Lu Bu has done during this period of time is indeed unexpected!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao snorted, but said nothing.

Others may not know why, but he knows it clearly.

Lu Bu also entered that game, knew the historical process, and obtained a catapult, so he did so many unexpected things.

Without this game, Lu Bu would be just a reckless general, nothing to worry about.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of the history introduced by the players in the game.

Among the many princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was the only one who achieved great things. Although Liu Bei and Sun Ce were also called the Three Kingdoms, compared with themselves, they were far behind.

If it weren't for this game, how could Lu Bu'er have the upper hand and drive himself out of Juancheng?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes burst out with anger, his fists clenched tightly, and he secretly swore in his heart that Lu Bu must be driven out of Yanzhou, no, the Baimenlou incident must be repeated.

Cao Hong suddenly said, "Lü Bu's army was unprepared. If our army goes to sneak attack at night, maybe we can succeed in one fell swoop?"

Everyone laughed bitterly when they heard this.

Lu Qian sighed, "General Cao, Lu Bu has brought the Bingzhou cavalry this time. If we go for a sneak attack and fail, our army will definitely be defeated by the attack of the Bingzhou cavalry."

Cao Hong frowned, "If our army adopts a fire attack and sets it on fire first, Lu Bu's army will definitely be in chaos. Even if there are Bingzhou cavalry, they will probably panic in the fierce fire."

Cao Cao suddenly waved his hand, "Don't say anything, everyone. It's too risky to attack Lu Bu's son.

As long as our army holds on to the city and the food in the city is enough for us, Lu Bu cannot consume us and will have to retreat in the end."

Hearing this, Cheng Yushen nodded in agreement, "Yes, the best way is to protect the city. As long as Lu Bu's army cannot attack, they will definitely retreat."

At this moment, Xia Houyuan walked up from under the city wall.

When everyone saw him, they felt a little sad.

In the past, Xia Houyuan was brave and good at fighting, and could be called a fierce general in Cao's army, but now, one of his arms has been lost, his expression is haggard, and his face is covered with stubble. If he didn't wear armor, he would be just like a farmer in the fields.

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miaocai, why are you here? Your injury has not healed yet. You'd better go back and recuperate as soon as possible."

When Xia Houyuan saw Cao Cao approaching, he wanted to hold his hand over, but when he raised his hand, he realized that only one arm was left, and his eyes suddenly became moist.

"My lord, I will no longer be able to greet you."

When everyone heard this sentence, their noses became sore and they almost shed tears.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "It doesn't matter, just go back and recuperate."

Xia Houyuan shook his head and said, "My lord, although I can no longer go to the battlefield, I am still rich enough to command battles on the city wall. Please allow me, my lord, to command the soldiers to defend the city here!"

Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan's injured arm and waved his hand, "Miaocai, you'd better go back to recover as soon as possible. It won't be too late to command the battle when the injury is healed."
