Cao Cao immediately let Le Jin, Yu Jin commanded tens of thousands of troops to harvest the wheat around Dingtao City, and generals such as Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, and Xu Zhu led the army to prepare for various preparations to ambush Lu Bu, and waited for Lu Bu to enter the net. Chen Gong and others in Dingtao City saw that Cao Cao's army retreated forty miles and organized soldiers to collect their wheat. They immediately went to Lu Bu's official residence and said, "General, Cao Cao has asked the army to harvest the grain around Dingtao City. If you don't find a way to deal with it, then we will not be far from death. Once Cao Cao collected the food instruction plan, even if he did not attack Dingtao City, our army's food and grass will definitely not last for a few days. The general should cheer up."

When Lu Bu's young wife Diao Chan saw that Lu Bu was drinking all day to relieve her boredom, she also said to him: "Husband, you have to cheer up. If Cao Cao breaks through the city, then where will the general and I settle down? If I am captured, it will be someone else's doll. Please cheer up as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Lu Bu said, "Public Platform, you are right. I will lead the army out of the city to destroy Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Chen Gong shook his head and said, "General, Cao Cao is full of tricks and cannot act in a hurry. It is better to let the probe figure out the situation before making any mistakes. Cao Cao's snatching the wheat in the fields is probably a plan."

After hearing this, Lu Bu said, "Don't worry, I will lead my troops out of the city. If the situation is not good, I will go back to the city immediately."

Lu Bu led Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian and the other two to lead a large army to kill Cao Cao's camp quietly. When he was about to approach Cao Cao's camp, he saw that there was an endless forest on the left, with lush trees covering the sky and sun. Lu Bu was afraid of ambushing troops, so he dared not continue to move forward, so he had to lead the army back to Dingtao City.

After seeing Lu Bu's army retreat, Xun You smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Lu Bu is suspicious of ambushing troops in the forest, so he dare not come. Tomorrow our army can plant more flags in the forest to doubt Lu Bu. There is a long dike to the west of our camp, and there is no water, so a large number of elite soldiers can be ambushed there. I guess Lu Bu will come to set fire to this forest tomorrow. At that time, the elite soldiers who ambushed in the dike can cut off his retreat, so that Lu Bu can capture it."

After hearing Xun You's words, Cao Cao said, "Gongda is right. Tomorrow our army will leave dozens of drummers to beat drums in the camp, and will let the villagers in the village who have been stolen in the past few days, regardless of men or women, cheer in the camp. In this way, if you don't think about the children of Lu Bu, you won't understand the movements of our army. If we lie to the ambush of a large number of soldiers in the long dike, we can annihilate Lu Bu's army in one fell swoop, and it will be easier to attack Dingtao City."

After Lu Bu returned to the city, he told Chen Gong about his departure. After hearing this, Chen Gong said, "General, Cao Cao is very good at conspiracy and tricks. He has many advisers. We must act cautiously and never be too hasty."

After hearing this, Lu Bu said, "Don't worry, I'll set fire to the forest tomorrow. I'll never think of it. Cao Cao will let the office see how I will destroy Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao has many ambushing troops, it will not be able to stop the burning fire." After saying that, he laughed loudly.
