Lu Chang was standing on the stone to boost the morale of his soldiers. Suddenly, his heart suddenly stumbled. He turned to look and saw a sharp arrow shooting at him from the chaotic battlefield.

‘Puff!’

Lu Chang subconsciously turned to one side and the arrow shot into his shoulder.

"Oh!"

Lu Chang screamed and fell to the ground, causing cold sweat to flow.

"The general is injured!"

Seeing this, the nearby Cao army soldiers ran to Lu Chang, supported him, and yelled.

‘Bang!’

Lu Chang was furious and raised his hand to slap the soldier, cursing: "What are you panic? I am not dead yet? Help me up!"

The soldier was slapped in the face for no reason, and was already extremely aggrieved. When he saw Lu Chang's angry gaze, he shook even more and carefully helped Lu Chang up.

Lu Changchao, who was still fighting, shouted: "Prevent my general flag, and Japan will now vow to live and die with its positions!"

Lu Chang's actions immediately inspired the soldiers under his command, and they all saw that their morale had increased greatly and blocked the attack of the Xuzhou army.

In the bloody battle on the Yishui River, Lu Chang blocked the 50,000 Xuzhou Army's attack for several hours with only 10,000 Cao's army. However, the difference in the strength of the two sides was too great. Even though Lu Chang had various good plans, as time went by, the Cao army was still outnumbered and could only slowly retreat to Cao's camp. Three hours later, when the red sun rose, the Xuzhou army finally captured the Yishui River beach.

Liu Bei's attack here was unfavorable, which led to Mi Fang in Dongguan City not daring to act without permission. Although Zhang Fei's night attack on Cao's camp created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Xuzhou army, he died of the fetus in the womb.

After Lu Chang returned to Cao's camp with hundreds of soldiers who had fought for the rest of his life, he saw Cao Cao and his civil and military officials greeting him at the camp gate.

Cao Cao sighed with emotion that the unknown general in front of him actually had a chance to breathe for Cao's army.

Lu Chang was covered in scars, and there was an arrow on his shoulder. The sword in his hand collapsed several gaps, which were already broken. He saw him kneeling on one knee and said ashamedly: "The general was unable to defend the east bank of Yishui, so that Liu Bei could lead his army to occupy it. Please ask the lord to punish him!"

Cao Cao hurriedly walked up to Lu Chang, carefully helped him up, and said with emotion: "What is General Lu's crime? Last night, Zhang Fei attacked our army's camp at night, burning down our army's food and grass, resulting in unstable morale. Liu Bei led his army to cross the Yishui River, and also attacked our army's camp at night with Mi Fang in Dongguan City while our army was in chaos. General Lu defended the Yishui River beach for only 10,000 soldiers for a night. This was why Liu Bei's plan was not achieved, and Cao, and he had time to deploy. In times of crisis, General Lu, you, turned the tide, not only did you, Lu Chang, not only did you, but also made great contributions. This battle is enough to make General Lu famous."

Lu Chang looked ashamed, glanced at the soldiers under his command behind him, and said with emotion: "Lord, the general dared not take credit for his contributions. He guarded the Yishui River last night. It was all up to these ten thousand soldiers to die and fight bravely to kill the enemy."

A trace of praise flashed in Cao Cao's eyes and said with a smile: "I have made great contributions but are not arrogant, and I have also distributed all the contributions to the soldiers under my command. Lu Chang, you really look at me with admiration! Don't worry, the ten thousand soldiers under your command will not die in vain. I have asked Ziyang to register and register, and I will pay the pension when I return to Yanzhou!"

After hearing this, Lu Chang was so grateful that the soldiers were mostly buried on the spot after they were killed, and they didn't care about the affairs behind you. However, Cao Cao's words meant that he would treat the families of these fallen soldiers well. Thinking of this, Lu Chang immediately bowed: "Lord is kind, how can the soldiers under his command fail to die."

After Cao Cao appeased Lu Chang, he immediately summoned his civil and military officials to discuss matters.

Cao Cao sat in the position of commander without saying anything, and the atmosphere in the tent was a little depressed. After seeing this, Liu Ye quickly whispered: "Lord, our army's granary was burned last night, and the army was full of words, so let's take it as a decision!"

Xiahou Dun followed and said, "Ziyang is right. I don't know where the food is today. Let's make a decision sooner!"

Cao Chun then stepped forward and knelt down and said, "It was all my fault for dereliction of duty, which caused our army to face such dangers. Please punish the lord!"

Cao Cao was upset. When he saw Cao Chun asking him to punish him, he shouted impatiently: "It's time? What's the use of killing you now? The matter last night was not all your fault. We all know that Zhang Fei and Wuyong, how could your thousand invaders be his opponent? Okay, okay, get up quickly, the big man, what's the matter of crying!"

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Cao Chun up.

Cao Cao suddenly sighed, "Zhang Fei alone made our army camp turn over. My generals Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Cao Hong and Lu Chang are all seriously injured. Why is this person not used by me? Alas!"

The faces of the generals in the tent changed, which was extremely ugly, but they were not Cao Chun. Cao Cao could forgive Cao Chun. A large part of the reason was that Cao Chun was a brother of the Cao Cao clan. They dared not speak nonsense, so they quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.

When Cao Cao saw that all the generals under his command were like this, he felt even more upset and had to ask Liu Ye: "Ziyang, do you have any good plans to get our army out of the predicament?"

Liu Ye hurriedly bowed and replied, "Lord, now our army's food and grass are burned, and there are only three ways to go. First, stick to the camp, find the flaws of the Xuzhou army, and decide the outcome in one battle; second, retreat to Gai County, raise the food and grass, and then make another plan; third, attack Dongguan City, as long as Dongguan City is broken, our army's situation without food can be solved. I just don't know what kind of lord is elected?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It takes two or three hundred miles to Gai County here. Even if you march urgently, it will take two days and two nights. But the soldiers have not eaten today's food yet. How can we go back within two days? If Liu Bei takes the opportunity to attack, wouldn't our army be in danger? As for the first one, isn't it nonsense? Liu Bei only needs to surround but not attack. Within three days, our army will be defeated without fighting."

Liu Ye chuckled and said, "Then lord, have you chosen the third path?"

Seeing Liu Ye's calm appearance, Cao Cao knew that he had a plan in his heart. He asked with annoyed smile: "Ziyang, Ziyang, when is it now? You still keep me in hiding? What are you thinking? Tell me out quickly, it's so angry!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "As the lord said, it is not wise to retreat to Gai County here, and it is not wise to go back to Gai County. This game is not difficult to play. Instead of guarding your son to survive, it is better to abandon your son and win. If we continue to defend this camp, the generals waiting for our army will only have a way to perish. If our army leaves the camp, there may be a glimmer of hope. Dongguan City is abundant in materials and is not wise in attacking, but we have to attack."

Xiahou Dun said with an anxious look on his face, "Oh, Ziyang, it's time to do this, just pick up the important ones!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "General Xiahou, don't be anxious. Our army encountered it. Liu Bei thought that it was also known. It was blue and white, and our army was still holding the camp for one day. When it was dark, the lord could order a general to bring 10,000 elite troops to the mountain and ambush him there. Then the lord waited early the next morning and led the army back along the road, pretending that our army's food and grass had been exhausted and had to withdraw. Liu Bei decided not to doubt it. However, the Yishui River last night

In the Battle of the Taiwan War, the Xuzhou army had seen the combat power of our army, so I thought that Liu Bei would not attack blindly. He would wait until our army was hungry and tired before taking action. Gonglaishan was located at the junction of Yan and Xuzhou. At this point, our army could arrive in one day, but our army had not eaten for a day, and he rushed for more than a hundred miles. At this time, he reached the junction of Yan and Xuzhou. General Xiahou, what would Liu Bei feel?"

Liu Ye's plan can be said to have calculated Liu Bei's thoughts. Cao's army was hungry and tired. In addition, if he didn't take action, Cao's army returned to Yanzhou. Liu Bei was a hero and had a very courage. Otherwise, he would not have betrayed Cao Cao. At this time, he would definitely send troops to attack Cao Cao.

When Xiahou Dun saw Liu Ye asking, he replied without thinking: "If I were Liu Bei, what else would I think? Everyone had been running for hundreds of miles. Cao's army had not eaten for a day and would have been so hungry that he had put his chest on his back. I would definitely lead the Xuzhou army to cover the killing at night, and I would definitely be able to fight down."

Lu Qian asked in confusion: "Our army still has more than 70,000 people. The consumption of one day is so huge. It will take two more days to starve. I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable! Even if we ambush Liu Bei, there will be Mi Fang in Dongguan City. Liu Bei led his army to pursue him. I think we would not bring too much food and grass, and the food problem of our army has not been solved."

Cao Cao and Liu Ye looked at each other and laughed loudly. Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zike, although our army is hungry and exhausted, there are 70,000 troops in hand. Liu Bei has courage and he will follow our army. But if he wants to defeat our army, his manpower is obviously not enough. There are still Mi Fang's 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Dongguan City, and Liu Bei's troops are only about 40,000 to 50,000. If I were him, I would also call Chen Deng from Dong'an City together and destroy our army in a battle. Maybe they can take the opportunity to enter Yanzhou and plan for Qingzhou. Such a good opportunity is in front of you. How could Liu Bei, who has great ambitions, not be able to see it?"

Lu Qian suddenly realized, and Liu Ye continued, "As for the food and grass for our army for two days, it is easy to solve it. The lord is leading the army and will not put all the food in one place. The lord will always put enough food and grass for a large army for one day else in case of emergency! The lord doesn't know what I'm right?" Liu Ye then turned his head and looked at Cao Cao and asked.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "You can't hide anything from you, Liu Ziyang. That's right, our army still has one day's food and supplies. Today, our army will hold on to the camp, have a full meal at night, and kill some old and weak war horses. Since you want to act, you have to act like it."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the generals in the tent looked like they suddenly realized, and their faces returned to normal.
