Chapter 13 - Boss Cao’s Scheme (2/2)
“Then could it be that we are not to chase and allow Lu Bu to leave?!” Cao Cao did not want to let Lu Bu go for thatZhou’s residence and then again underneath the White Gate Tower, a single ht was like that of Gods and devils!
“Having lost half of Xiapi, Lu Bu have lost half of Xu Province! Of his seventy thousand troops, only a few thousand ht now is to find an opportunity toa way to replenish his troops!” Guo Jia spoke frankly with assurance “Lu Bu idely known for his despotic ruleThe Xu Province borders Qing, Yang, Yu and Yan Provinces As for our Yan Province, he certainly would not dare coion to our Yan Province and then the Xu Province, the Yuan clan held no goodwill toward Lu Bu! Thus, Yuan Tan of Qing Province will certainly not take hi Province? Yuan Shu himself is in trouble, even more io there?!”
[TL: Lu Bu cannot go toward Yu Province either because Liu Bei is in charge of it]
“Then where would Lu Bu go?!” Cao Cao asked
“He’s going nowhere! He’s still in Xu Province!” As expected froht away “Langye! In Langye was one of Lu Bu’s eight superior general Zang Ba and his Mount Tai bandits!”
“Mere Mount Tai bandits, how could they possibly accoht the Yellow Turban Bandits, how could he possibly be afraid of some Mount Tai bandits?!
“My lord, you shouldn’t underesti Ba!” said Guo Jia “As for the subordinates of Lu Bu, if you seek a scholars, then it’s Chen Gong, if you seek a general, then it’s this Zang Ba!”
“Oh?!” said Cao Cao, puzzled “How is he co Liao or Gao Shun?!”
“Not inferior in any aspect!” said Guo Jia Although this Zang Ba’s wasn’t as fa Liao, he was someone as a boss! The Mount Tai bandits numbered numerous, crooksBa’s ad Ba was just fro the soldiers? Maybe Zang Ba wasn’t at the level of Gao Shun or Zhang Liao However, unifying the generals, this Zang Ba was a lot better than Gao Shun and Zhang Liao!
“Are you saying that if Lu Bu obtains the Mount Tai bandits, then it’s like giving wings to a tiger?! We have only just obtained this Xu Province… could it be that we are to battle again?!” Cao Cao grew anxious Lu Bu was a fierce tiger and it would appear that this Zang Ba wasn’t soether, then old Cao’s Xu Province will be in trouble
“Worry not, ht red Although Cao Cao was anxious like a fiery flame, Guo Jia was calm like a silk thread!
“From Xiapi to Lanye, the distance is at least three hundred li! Even under forced march, the soldiers under Xiahou Yuan would still require three days to get there! Currently, Lu Bu is with kids and wo into consideration of their health, Lu Bu is certainly going to delay his speed Thus, it will take theh Lu Bu’s breakthrough was a success, he had a fatal flaw!” having said to this point, Guo Jia stopped because the wine bottle ran out of wine
[TL: remember li is a chinese mile that’s 500meters and ⅓ of an american mile]
“Men! Supply Guo Jia with more wine!” Guo Jia caused Cao Cao to lose his appetite He even think that the soldier bringing up the as too slow and decided to pour Guo Jia h, apart from the family and soldiers, he have overlooked his army provisions!” Guo Jia ca the advance of the army, the advance of provisions!” said Guo Jia with a s period of tih one could not stave to death in that period of tih to lose consciousness! My lord, you only have to dispatch the Ferocious Riders and have them follow behind the Lu Bu army slowly, after three to five days, when the Lu Bu arer is the ti Guo Jia’s words, Cao Cao was full of delight However, he thought of so and hesitated! “If Lu Bu harden his heart and conduct a forcedBa?!”
“Rest assured, my lord! The first disposition of troops was already sent by someone else for me!” Guo Jia drank a cup of wine that was poured by Cao Cao He didn’t feel that he couldn’t bear the weight at all
“Who?!”
“Chen Deng of Guangling!” Froling was evenXu Province, half of it was because of their Chen fa Lu Bu does after getting awayCao Cao, but this Chen family was already on Lu Bu’s blacklist!
Cao Cao’s fauards and generals! But the Chen family did not have that! Should Lu Bu decide to launch a surprise attack, ending the Chen faht be extinguished from history in the Latter Han Dynasty!
