Before Guo Jia could respond, Cao Cao had already brought Xu Chu and some others and went forward on their horses.
“Mende, how’s Xiapi?!” asked Lu Bu plainly.
Had Lu Bu also guessed the situation at Xiapi? Cao Cao wasn’t surprised. That’s because in Lu Bu’s camp, there’s the top advisor Chen Gong. If Chen Gong can’t guess that, then Cao Cao would’ve been surprised instead. Furthermore, Old Cao believe that Chen Gong played a major role in Chen Deng’s revolt.
“Can’t you tell that we’re preparing to go back?!” said Cao Cao as if it was an ordinary chat.
“You really wanted to kill this Lu Bu that badly?!” Lu Bu stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
Cao Cao was also straightforward. “Cao cannot have a good night’s sleep if Fengxian doesn’t die!”
“Hahahaha, so, actually, as it turns out, Mengde you fears me so!” laughed Lu Bu.
“This isn’t fear?!” said Cao Cao. “I have long said, there exists but a select few in the whole world that could make this Cao cast sidelong glances. You, Lu Bu, are one of them. You are suited for being a soul of an army but aren’t suited for being the lord of a state! It wasn’t that I had to make things difficult for you, it’s just that you blocked my path! Therefore you had to die!” Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu straight in the eye with an overwhelming killing intent.
“Blocked your path?!” Mumbled Lu Bu. “Sure enough, like Gongtai said, Mengde, your ambition was certainly not small!”
“Chen Gong?!”
“Well, Mengde ah, since you wanted my life, come take it! I heard that you even brought your elite Ferocious Cavalry with you. A whole three thousand heavy cavalries! I suspect you personally prepared that for this Lu Bu?!” laughed Lu Bu.
Cao Cao didn’t respond. Cao Cao indeed established the Ferocious Cavalry after having suffered defeat in the hands of Lu Bu’s Bing Province Heavy Cavalry. Their purpose was solely to defeat the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry. And thus, he brought them with him when he decided to attack Xu Province.
“Come Mengde! Use your most elite soldiers to have a final settlement with this Lu Bu!” Using his trident, Lu Bu pointed toward the three thousand heavy cavalries behind Cao Cao.
“To die at the hands of the Ferocious Cavalry, Fengxian, that’s a proper burial for you!” Cao Cao turned his horse around and returned to his army. Three thousand Ferocious Cavalry resounded the earth as they came forward.
The leading general was Cao Chun. In the past couple days of siege, the Ferocious Cavalry was unable to do anything. This had caused Cao Chun to be impatient to the extreme. And now the fate smiled at him. To actually be able to fight the final battle, Cao Chun was extremely happy. In his view, he believed Lu Bu to have nothing left. Even if his troops were all elites, they’re only infantries. How could the two legged soldiers possibly win against the four legged cavalries?
Not to mention the Ferocious Cavalry was an army of heavy cavalries. Although they aren’t suited for siege warfare, they’re overwhelming on the plains. Even if their enemies were ten times their amount, Cao Chun was still certain that he would be able to rip their enemies to shreds.
