When marching and fighting, it is most taboo to focus on one thing and lose another.

At this moment, although there is civil strife in Yanzhou in the rear, the main force of Cao's army is now in Xuzhou.

Today, most of Xuzhou is under the control of Cao Jun.

Although Cao Jun and Xuzhou are in a stalemate to contain each other, on the surface, Cao Jun still has the upper hand.

If the turmoil in Yanzhou hadn't made Cao Ying's people unstable, Xuzhou would be more anxious at this moment.

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao in front of him.

If the general is in a panic, it will naturally lead to instability in the morale of the entire army.

In case of crisis, he and Cao Cao must stabilize the morale of the Cao camp.

As for Xuzhou, there can be no chaos!

"Don't worry, Zhicai, I will understand!"

After hearing Xi Zhicai's advice, Cao Cao grinned and laughed softly.

As a general, he naturally knows what he should do now.

So what if Yanzhou is in chaos? Now hundreds of thousands of people in Cao's camp are relying on him, so naturally he can't be in chaos.

Yanzhou is nothing.

At worst, he can just fight back with his men.

"Gather the generals together to discuss matters in the tent!"

He nodded towards Xi Zhicai. At present, Cao Cao had to settle Xuzhou first before he could lead his people back to Yanzhou.

As for Xuzhou right now, he doesn't have anything to worry about.

He left some of his troops with Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and others, and then he personally took some of them back to Yanzhou to have a look.

This is more secure.

……

The tenth day of May.

Only one day has passed since Lu Bu led the Xiliang army to attack the heavy supply camp led by Xi Yu.

After a slight pause for a day, the baggage camp escorting grain and grass regrouped and set off.

Throughout the entire supply camp, following this encounter, Xi Yu arranged for the lightly injured soldiers to escort the seriously injured soldiers to find a temporary place to resettle.

The remaining soldiers continued to go to Xuzhou to transport grain.

It’s a day with light wind and clear clouds.

On the gallop behind me, the smell of blood blowing in the wind began to gradually dissipate.

Xi Yu was sitting on Jueying, moving forward with the baggage battalion at a pace that was still unhurried.

Dian Wei, who has already fought once, no longer has the excitement of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

At this time, he was much more stable.

The generals in the transport camp were aroused with a lot of enthusiasm. While marching along the road, they could hear endless comments about yesterday.

After Lu Bu's attack on grain and grass failed, he led his army to retreat.

Xi Yu didn't pay too much attention to it. Whether Lu Bu turned his horse around and attacked Yanzhou's towns again, or made other choices, Xi Yu didn't care.

The news from Yanzhou was successfully delivered to him.

According to Xun Yu's letter, Juancheng was impregnable, and there was no movement from Xiahou Dun who was stationed in Puyang.

However, Zhao Yun sent a letter telling him that everything went smoothly with his previous arrangements.

Juancheng was safe and sound, and Xi Yu felt a lot more relaxed.

Nowadays, we only need to send grain and grass to Xuzhou step by step. At that time, Cao Cao only needed to bring some troops back to Yanzhou.

This so-called rebellion can be eliminated overnight.

In the final analysis, these Yanzhou nobles who are rebelling now are not worth Xi Yu's heart at all.

If these people can jump out at this time, it will be better if they defect in times of crisis.

After Yanzhou is re-pacified this time, Yanzhou will have no worries in the future.

……

When Xi Yu was moving forward with the heavy supply camp, Lu Bu, who had failed in the attack on the other side, had already gathered the Xiliang soldiers he had accepted again on the next day.

Because of Lu Bu's own power in the Xiliang army, although yesterday's attack failed, the Xiliang army still has the same trust in Lu Bu as usual.

After this defeat, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who had reunited did not suffer much losses.

The sun was shining brightly, and all the Xiliang troops gathered in a mountain pass looked at the leader, Lu Bu.

At this moment, Lu Bu felt a little tired.

Hou Cheng beside him took the initiative to help Lu Bu hold Red Rabbit.

Lu Bu was sitting upright on a boulder, and his originally shiny tiger-head armor seemed to have become dimmer at this time.

The purple gold crown with tied hair was slightly hanging down, and the flower brocade robe covered Lu Bu's back.

"Junhou, what should we do now?"

Hao Meng, who was standing next to him, glanced at Lu Bu. They only had seven or eight hundred soldiers left.

This time Lu Bu led his army to attack, and the Xiliang cavalry only carried enough food and grass for three days.

After finishing today's meals, they had 700 to 800 people, and there was nothing left to fill their abdominal cavities.

Lu Bu had a gloomy face.

To this day, it is hard for him to believe that there is someone stronger than him in the world.

Meeting Xi Yu made him slightly excited.

However, no one will feel better when facing a defeat.

He is full of confidence when he leads the army to plunder food and grass.

Now, all the Xiliang soldiers under his command are waiting for him, Lu Bu, to bring back Cao's army's food and grass.

But now, what about food and grass?

Ensuring food for the seven or eight hundred people currently has become a problem.

He went back to find Chen Gong and others in such a dejected manner, expecting Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to ask the Yanzhou nobles to provide him with military supplies?

Although Lu Bu is arrogant, he is not a fool.

Although Chen Gong and Zhang Miao intend to cooperate with him, Lu Bu can still see clearly some things.

After his arrogance was suppressed, Lu Bu, who was able to calm down, would naturally start to think more.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Gong and others only proposed to cooperate with him, not to submit to him.

If you have to rely on Chen Gong and Zhang Miao for food and grass.

Isn’t it equivalent to a tiger being restrained by its throat and a beast being collared?

He himself doesn't want to do anything with the swords in Chen Gong and Zhang Miao's hands.

Ever since he defected from Ding Yuan's subordinates to Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu vowed in his heart that he would stand higher.

When he counterattacked to kill Dong Zhuo, his mentality had already changed.

In today's world, the Han Dynasty court is no longer the powerful court it once was.

From Xiliang to Luoyang and Chang'an.

From being a former border general, I saw the prosperity of this world.

He is no longer willing to be driven by others.

Just as he said to Xi Yu yesterday, why should the other party succumb to Cao Cao's men if they have such force?

These words were spoken to Xi Yu, but they were also a reflection of his inner self.

How can a man be born in the world of heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?

Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is in troubled times.

Among the princes, no one wants to create a career, and so does Lu Bu.

He also wants to be a powerful prince.

It is precisely because of this that the Yuan brothers are afraid of him, and precisely because of this.

It was only when Chen Gong mentioned that they wanted to take over Yanzhou with him that Lu Bu opened his mouth and agreed.

In fact, having your own territory is a very obvious help to whether you can become a prince.
