Lu Bu stayed in Wancheng, and he had already felt itchy and unbearable.

Cheng Yu and Pang De were in Wuguan, constantly sending soldiers and horses to harass them, although there was no big problem, but for the generals in Wancheng, it was also a provocation.

Especially someone like Lu Bu, who is violent and perverse, can't bear the other party's endless provocations.

The potter asked him to lead the soldiers and horses to call the battle, and Lu Bu was naturally not happy.

He then turned around and went out to count his troops.

……

The next day, Lu Bu led 3,000 wolf horsemen and set off towards Wuguan.

At this time, the Wuguan was guarded by Pang De as the main general, and Cheng Yu, as his staff officer, was guarding this place with Pang De.

"After the pottery merchants conquer Jingzhou, they must be sending troops to Guanzhong, and for us, the current situation seems to be quite embarrassing."

Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Pang De paced back and forth in the main hall, and said: "Sikong has now taken Hanzhong, and attacked the Shangyong cities, and now the place of Guanzhong is the front line for us to deal with the pottery merchants, from the perspective of Zhongde Gong, how should we defend at the moment?" ”

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Now even the land of Jingzhou has been conquered by pottery merchants...... Its power is growing by leaps and bounds, and its power is so great that no one can stop it, and at the moment, for us, this place in the middle of the pass, I am afraid that it may not be able to hold it for a long time. ”

Pound was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

"The land in the middle of the pass, relying on the hero of the three passes, but Luoyang is independent of the three passes, with the power of the pottery merchants, if the Central Plains and the land of the three rivers at the same time send troops, no matter how tall the city of Luoyang is, it will not be able to stop it for a long time, and the land of Luoyang will be lost sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused and said: "As for Chang'an and other places within the three passes, with the strength of Hangu, there is something to rely on, but according to the next point of view, this is not a long-term solution, if the three passes accompany the Tao army to break through, the land of Guanzhong is a horse and a flat river, although the area is extensive, but there is no moat to defend, and although the princes of Guanzhong are attached to Sikong on the surface, they secretly have their own careful thoughts, whether they can cooperate to resist the enemy, but it is also between the two. ”

Pound De looked surprised when he heard this, and said: "In this way, the land of Liangdu and Guanzhong will be lost sooner or later?" ”

Cheng Yu didn't answer Pang De very directly, he just sighed and said, "Even if you keep it this time, how can you keep it for the second time and the third time?" When it comes to population, financial resources, material resources, war horses, ordnance, iron weapons, and generals...... The potters are above our army in everything, hehe......"

Cheng Yu's words made Pound's chest feel an indescribable blockage.

"Zhong Degong, according to what you say, we don't need to fight this battle now, wouldn't it be convenient to just surrender directly?"

Cheng Yu looked at Pang De's very aggrieved face and said with a smile: "But that's not the case. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know why the prime minister is attacking Hanzhong?"

Pang Deyi raised his eyebrows and said: "Hanzhong Zhang Lu, when I was not prepared, I jointly attacked the rear of our army with the pottery merchants, and Sikong sent troops to destroy him, but it was just revenge for the previous revenge, so what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "General Pang, you think too shallowly about this, with Sikong's mind and knowledge, how can you be so keen on revenge?" It's just that compared with the land of Guanzhong, the land of Sichuan and Shu is more conducive to defense and more suitable for foothold. ”

Pang De's eyes widened and he said, "Zhong Degong, did Cao Sikong tell you this?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Sikong didn't tell me, some things are just guesses, but I have followed Sikong for many years, and I think about some things, even if I guess, I guess not far away......"

The two were saying this, but a soldier hurriedly came to report, saying that before the Wuguan, someone was shouting and shouting for a challenge.

Pound's eyes narrowed and he said, "Who is challenged?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "It's Lu Bu!" ”

"Lu Bu?" Pound smiled, as if he was interested: "How many people did that guy bring in?" ”

The soldier arched his hand and said: "It doesn't seem to be much, only thousands of men and horses, including more than 1,000 cavalry, it seems that it is not to attack the pass, but just to invite battle!" ”

"Okay." Pang De nodded heavily and said, "The so-called Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses!" I'm just in time for the lesson today! ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Ling Ming, don't worry, Lu Bu is here, we still don't know what he means, I heard that the pottery merchant seems to have secretly gone to Wancheng, we must not underestimate the enemy, we must not fight easily." ”

"Don't worry!" Pang De said with a smile: "I understand the Tao Merchant's thoughts somewhat, he just wants to take the opportunity to test the reality of our army, if we are cowardly now, won't it make him feel that the troops guarded by our Wuguan are insufficient?" It seems that this is not conducive to the defense of the pass, since Sikong intends to be in Sichuan and Shu, then we are in the land of Guanzhong, and naturally the longer we can block the soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants, the more beneficial it will be to Sikong's great cause. ”

Cheng Yu let out a long sigh and said: "Although that is the case, our opponent is a potter, not to mention that Lu Bunai is the number one fierce general in the world, even if he is here to test, it is not easy to face his front, right?" ”

Pound snorted heavily and said, "What's the point of being a trivial matter? The world once said that Lu Bu was invincible in the world, but didn't he eat in Zhao Yun's hands back then? I, Pound, am no worse than Zhao Yun, what are I afraid of? ”

Cheng Yu saw that Pang De was so stubborn, and said worriedly: "But you compete with Lu Bu, in case there is a mistake?" ”

"No!" Pound clapped his hands very confidently and found a personal guard: "Bring my sleeve arrow!" ”

After a while, he saw the guard bring Pang De's hidden arrow to him and Cheng Yu.

Pang De stretched out his hand to Cheng Yu and introduced, "Please look! ”

Cheng Yu looked at it carefully and said, "With this thing, you can defeat Lu Bu?" ”

Pound snorted and said: "Sir, don't underestimate this sleeve arrow, my sleeve arrow is not as good as the arrow next to it, if it is the upper one, it will kill him immediately!" ”

Cheng Yu looked at him blankly: "What's the difference between your sleeve arrows?" ”

"I'm poisoned here!" Pound puffed up his chest very confidently: "The poison on this arrow was personally configured, although this poison will not be fatal immediately, but it is not an ordinary doctor's solution, no matter what he is the first or second in the world, if he encounters a certain one, it will be difficult for him to survive." ”

The potter was stunned and said, "How sure are you?" ”

"I'm pretty sure!"

……

At the same time, Lu Bu was outside the Wuguan, and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to shout and curse at the Wuguan.

Lu Bu himself galloped back and forth in front of the military attaché, waving the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and laughing to his heart's content.

After a while, he saw the gate of Wuguan slowly open, and the heavily armed Pang De rushed out.
