Lu Bu walked on horseback in the middle of the army, his brows slightly furrowed and his face a bit ugly.

He never expected that Yan Liang's real target was Puyang City.

Now, although Cao Cao has been driven away, Puyang City has been occupied by the stronger Yuan Shao. This is very bad news for him.

Cao Cao's strength is equal to his own, and he is somewhat sure that he can defeat him.

But what about Yuan Shao?

Thinking of Yuan Shao's power, Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile.

Chen Gong on the side saw this and asked hurriedly, "Marquis Wen, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Bu shook his head and said slowly, "Gongtai, Puyang is now occupied by Yan Liang, do you have a way to take it back?"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's difficult!"

After Chen Gong sighed, he continued, "Yuan Shao's strength is too strong. If we take back Puyang by force, we may be able to do it, but it will definitely annoy Yuan Shao. If he sends out all his troops to attack us, things will not be the same. Awesome!"

Neither Lu Bu nor Chen Gong believed that they could defeat Yuan Shao in this situation.

And this is the most worrying part?

If you want to take Puyang back, you must offend Yuan Shao.

But if it is not taken back, Puyang will become a springboard for Yuan Shao to march into Yanzhou, encroaching step by step, and eventually occupy the entire Yanzhou.

Just when Lu Bu was thinking about Puyang, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance. Not long after, a soldier from Bingzhou Tieqi hurriedly came to Lu Bu.

Chen Gong was anxious and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Have you caught up with Cao Mengde?"

"I caught up with him, but let him run away again."

"What?" Lu Bu's expression changed, "What do Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian do? They lead cavalry, how could they let Cao Cao escape?"

Most of the troops led by Cao Cao were infantry, while Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian led cavalry. It would be really puzzling if Cao Cao was allowed to run away like this.

The soldier recounted what had happened before, and finally said, "If so many flames hadn't suddenly appeared, Cao's army would not have been able to escape."

After hearing what the soldier said, Chen Gong subconsciously looked at Lu Bu, only to find that the usually calm Lu Bu was now sweating on his forehead.

"Marquis Wen, what's going on?"

Lu Bu shook his head, turned to look at the soldiers, and asked slowly, "You mean those flames suddenly appeared?"

The soldier nodded affirmatively, "Everyone is watching, so many flames suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes."

Having said this, the soldier looked a little sad when he thought of his companions who rushed into the flames. "Many brothers rushed directly into the flames because they had no time to turn around and were burned to ashes."

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and asked, "How many people were lost?"

"236 people."

Upon hearing this number, Lu Bu was immediately furious, "Cao Mengde, you are so cruel!"

These cavalry are Lu Bu's treasures. Even if he loses one, it will make him feel distressed. After losing so many this time, it is good that he can not be furious.

Chen Gong was also secretly shocked when he heard this, "Losing so many people?"

Lu Bu took a deep breath and asked slowly, "When these flames rose, there was nothing on the ground, right?"

The soldier nodded hurriedly, cupped his hands and said, "There is nothing on the ground. When we were raiding the formation, we passed by there once. The ground was very flat and there was nothing that could burn."

Lu Bu nodded, "These flames suddenly disappeared in the end, didn't they?"

"Yes, these flames appear very strangely and disappear very strangely. Then the blazing flames suddenly disappear, as if they had never burned before."

Hearing the soldier's words, Chen Gong's expression changed, cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice, "Do those legendary things really exist?"

Although Lu Bu was shocked, he did not feel the same fear as Chen Gong, because he knew very well that it must be something Cao Mengde brought out from the game, so it had such an effect.

But what exactly?

He has never seen it or heard of it, so he can only ask about it in the game.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu turned to look at the soldiers and asked slowly, "Now that Cao Mengde is retreating with his troops, what are Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian doing?"

"They didn't dare to attack again, so they kept chasing behind them, hoping to wait for Marquis Wen to make a decision."

Lu Bu nodded, turned to look at Chen Gong, and asked slowly, "Gongtai, what do you think we should do about what happened now?"

After hearing the question, Chen Gong realized what he was saying. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly sighed and said slowly.
