"good."

“It makes sense.”

"It should be possible."

After listening to Yu Jin's suggestion, everyone present nodded. Attacking him was indeed an excellent tactical method. If it was a direct attack, it might not be effective, but if it was just attacking one village, it would be possible to directly occupy the entire Xizhai.

However, Guo Jia was a little dissatisfied and believed that this was not a good plan. Perhaps Yu Jin was right. They could easily attack Xizhai, but the most important point was the significance? What is the significance of attacking Xizhai?

In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao attacked Wuchao in order to cut off Yuan Shao's food and grass. If Wuchao had not stored a large amount of food and grass from Yuan Shao's army, how could Cao Cao attack an irrelevant Wuchao?

This is the reason now. Xizhai is just west of Puyang. Is it necessary for Lu Bu to store grain and grass in Xizhai instead of bringing grain and grass directly into Puyang City? Even if the grain and grass were stored in Xizhai at the beginning, when Cao Cao attacked, Lu Bu must have transferred it. Moreover, Yu Jin himself said that Xizhai does not seem to have many people, and there are not many people, which means it is not important.

This so-called Xizhai was probably built by Lu Bu when he first arrived in Puyang and had not yet taken Puyang. It may have been Lu Buxiu who came to respond to the emergency. In short, at present, Xizhai is a less important place. Is this unimportant place specialized in attacking, and is there any meaning to the entire battle situation?

That's why Guo Jia disagreed, but he didn't object to anything. It's not that Guo Jia took care of Yu Jin's face. But if he wins this battle, it will at least be very helpful for morale recovery. It's like Lu Bu didn't run over to attack while he was still camping here. Now it's the same, it may be of no use on the surface. But the potential value behind it is hard to say.

So Guo Jia nodded and said,

"If the loss of attacking the village is not large, you can try it. But with Lu Bu's personality of not giving up easily, he will likely come out to rescue Xizhai after receiving the news. You have to be careful of this."

Guo Jia reminded that no matter whether the Xizhai is important or not, if Xizhai is lost, it will damage the face of the world's No. 1 general Lu Bu. Therefore, according to Guo Jia's understanding of Lu Bu, Lu Bu will definitely fight. If Lu Bu beats him to the point of being beaten, it will be more than worth the loss, and he will really lose his morale.

"Since Lu Bu will definitely go out for rescue, then why should we lay an ambush in the middle of the road to ambush him?" Xiahou Dun couldn't help but suggest.

"Impossible!" Yu Jin shook his head and denied it, "I have observed before that Xizhai is very close to Puyang City, and the middle is flat, with no obstacles. It is impossible to set up an ambush in the middle."

"What should I do? After capturing Xizhai, I will defend it on the spot?" For a moment, the generals also started to discuss.

It is inevitable that it is impossible to defend Lu Bu's attack. In other words, it is necessary to send heavy troops to defend Xizhai. In this way, wouldn't it be necessary to divide the troops on both sides? Although they are not far apart, Lu Bu's Puyang is closer to Xizhai. It is dangerous to divide the troops on both sides and defend each other. It is very likely that Lu Bu will defeat each other.

Thinking of this, everyone at the scene finally began to think carefully whether this Xizhai should be fought, whether it is meaningful to fight, and whether it is worth fighting!

However, just when everyone went from being "can't fight" at the beginning to being "can't fight" now, Guo Jia went from being "not worth fighting" at the beginning to being "worth fighting" now,

"We may be able to pretend to be defeated and set up an ambush!" Guo Jia suddenly suggested.

"It makes sense!" Cao Cao immediately shouted, "Although we cannot set up an ambush where Lu Bu must go to Xizhai, we can set up ambush in other places in advance. We will attack Xizhai first, and then pretend to be defeated and flee when Lu Bu comes to rescue. Lu Bu will definitely pursue him, so we can lead him to the ambush!"

In this way, naturally no one would give any suggestions. The plan was decided, and Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Xizhai. Only Cao Cao was present could Lu Bu continue to pursue and successfully lead Lu Bu into the ambush. In addition, Guo Jia was no longer idle this time, and Guo Jia was responsible for the ambush.

Since he had made a decision, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all. He chose 20,000 horse stances and headed from the small path overnight and headed towards Puyang Xizhai.

On the other side, in Puyang City,

Lu Bu worked hard in the army and won the first victory, which was a celebration. However, Chen Gong couldn't help but remind Lu Bu,

"The soldiers in Xizhai are weak. What should I do if Cao Cao runs to attack Xizhai?"

Lu Bu disagreed and replied,

"He lost for a while today, how dare he come?"

Chen Gong reminded,

"Cao Cao is a very capable man. There are people like Guo Jia who likes to use strange strategies. I have to be careful of his attack."

Although Lu Bu is arrogant, it does not mean that he is stubborn and self-righteous. Lu Bu is arrogant about his own force, not the kind of person who ignores risks and does nothing. If Lu Bu himself guards Xizhai, Chen Gong said that the Xizhai soldiers were weak and might be captured, then Lu Bu would probably ignore them at all. But now, if someone is guarding Xizhai, then Xizhai is indeed weak and may be captured, so Lu Bu will not ignore them.

So, Lu Bu finally transferred Gao Shun, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng to lead troops to defend Xizhai. Unexpectedly, it began to be buried from here.

Although Lu Bu sent people to guard Xizhai, it was obvious that Cao Cao's decision-making time was much faster than Lu Bu's reaction time. At about dusk, Cao Cao had already led his troops to Xizhai, and Gao Shun and other defenders had not arrived yet.

Cao's army broke into the four sides, and the Xizhai was really weak and had few soldiers and could not resist at all. Soon, the Cao army broke through the defense line and fled everywhere. Cao Cao successfully seized the Xizhai.

However, before Cao Cao could come, he was anxious to completely wipe out the remaining troops in Xizhai. At this time, Gao Shun and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and other defenders sent by Lu Bu had arrived. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually came to attack Xizhai, and they were one step late. Gao Shun immediately led his troops to kill the generals. Cao Cao found that the reinforcements were so fast. After being slightly surprised, he also led his troops to greet them.

Cao Cao was a smart man. He attacked Xizhai and fought quickly and resolved the battle in an instant. In such a short time, the news might not have reached Puyang, so Lu Bu could not react. Therefore, this could only be the defenders sent by Lu Bu in advance to prevent them from attacking. Moreover, according to Cao Cao's observation, Lu Bu was indeed not among them.
