"Lord, will I wait to withdraw the army?" Exited the range of the hill and walked on the avenue to Anlu, but Lu Bu did not go directly to Anlu, stopped halfway through, turned around, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others looked at Lu Bu with some doubts.

"So-and-so is a murderer!" Lu Bu lit up the bright Fangtian painting halberd, looked into the distance and said: "Jiangdong Xiao'er also dares to rob me, it seems that Lu Bu is not out, the people of the world are about to forget about it, give him a long memory, and when he meets my soldiers and horses in the future, he should take a detour!" ”

"Whoa!"

When the generals heard this, they responded loudly, although they have also fought with Cao Cao over the years, but they are all small fights, and most of the Cao army is mainly defensive, Cao Ren has been a lot more cautious after being beaten by Lu Bu a few times, and now it is a fight, and it is not very interesting.

At that moment, Lu Bu adjusted his horse's head, followed the road he came from, and soon found the Jiangdong army.

Here the Jiangdong Army was Xu Sheng who led the army out to greet Sun Ce, and when he saw Sun Ce's tragic situation, Xu Sheng couldn't help but be surprised: "Who injured the lord!?" ”

"Lu Bu!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth a little and said, since the conquest of Jiangdong, it was the first time he was so embarrassed.

Lu Bu's murderous name Xu Sheng naturally knew, and he didn't ask any more when he heard the words, it was good that the lord could come back alive, and if he asked again, it would be in the face of his own lord, and at that moment Xu Sheng escorted Sun Ce to the direction of Daying.

In the middle of the line, but hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Lu Bu led two thousand cavalry to go and return, and caught up with the Jiangdong army is a round of cavalry shooting.

"Array up to meet the enemy!" Xu Sheng hurriedly ordered his subordinates to line up to meet the enemy.

It's just that Lu Bu obviously didn't have the intention of fighting hard with the Jiangdong army, and the two thousand cavalry were divided into five, and he and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Cao Xing each led one to disperse when the two sides were about to make contact, and kept firing arrows around the enemy formation.

"Shield!" Xu Sheng hurriedly ordered a shield to block the opponent's arrow cluster.

Lu Bu rode on a horse, and constantly shot the opponent's flag officers and trumpeters with accurate archery, making the Jiangdong army's formation chaotic and unable to form a complete formation, and then suddenly led his troops to charge and kill, and quickly withdrew before the enemy army was encircled.

In this way, although Xu Sheng brought a lot of men and horses, he had no choice but to shrink his defense as much as possible, forming a dense formation, and his colleagues suppressed the enemy with bows and arrows, so that Lu Bu did not dare to approach easily.

"Don't be afraid, stabilize the formation, they won't be able to attack!" Sun Ce sat on horseback, looked at the cavalry in front of him, gritted his teeth and shouted, while constantly boosting morale, he commanded the archers to no longer target the other party, but only to draw a general range and shoot on horseback, which was so difficult that Lu Bu did not dare to approach.

On the other side, after Zhou Yu got the news, he hurriedly ordered a group of men and horses to go out of the camp to respond, and Lu Bu slowly withdrew, but did not go to Anlu, but directly led the army to the east.

Sun Ce led his troops back to the camp, looking at the low morale of the soldiers of the three armies, his face was gloomy and he didn't speak, Zhou Yu didn't blame Sun Ce for such a reckless move, and fortunately found this cavalry in advance, otherwise if this cavalry suddenly appeared during the battle with the Jingzhou army, it would be terrible.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the lord should not blame himself too much." Zhou Yu gathered all the generals, looked at Sun Ce's face, and comforted.

"I didn't lose this battle, if this army was under Liu Biao's command, there was still something to do, but at this time, the other party's main general was Lu Bu, not the general of Jingzhou, there was no place to defend, and there was no worry about running out of food, so it went straight to the rear of our army, and this battle was ......" Sun Ce sighed.

If before, he still had some confidence to break through the Anlu garrison, at least capture Jiangxia, as a springboard for his future attack on Jingxiang, now that Lu Bu came, he saw that the signs were running to his rear, and it would not be easy for Sun Ce to take Jiangxia again.

Zhou Yu sighed when he heard this and said: "This battle is still profitable for our army after all, now that the grain and grass are running out, with Lu Bu here, it is very difficult to capture Jiangxia, it is better to withdraw the army and return to Chaisang to recuperate, how about he plot again in the future?" ”

Anlu did not get it, although it occupied Xiling, but Xiling must not be able to defend, that would only drag the Jiangdong Army into the quagmire of war, but the harvest of this battle was also quite rich, and a lot of Jiangxia people were gained, and Shaxian and other places were also included in Jiangdong, so that they could make a comeback.

"That's all it can be." Sun Ce nodded, although he was unwilling, but the current situation no longer allowed him to continue to coil Jiang Xia.

In the land of Jiangxia, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, although Lu Bu's cavalry is strong, but the terrain is limited everywhere, Sun Ce is not worried about Lu Bu's pursuit, if he really dares to chase into the water, then Sun Ce will definitely give Lu Bu a profound lesson, so that he does not dare to be so rampant.

In fact, as Sun Ce expected, Lu Bu led the cavalry into Sun Ce's rear, but in the land of Jiangxia, the waterways were vertical and horizontal, making it difficult for his cavalry to gallop freely, which made Lu Bu very uncomfortable.

In the end, after Sun Ce's army left by boat, Lu Bu didn't have much to gain, and could only watch the other party cross the river.

Damn it!

Lu Bu looked at the Jiangdong army who crossed the river, but he didn't dare to go into the water, and patted the horse's back a little depressed.

"Lord, the thief has retreated, what should I do next?" Wei Xu found Lu Bu and asked.

Did you take the opportunity to occupy Jiangxia? In this way, Lu Bu's power could be greatly expanded.

"Go back to Nanyang." Lu Bu didn't have the intention of occupying Jiangxia, even if the two thousand cavalry occupied a few cities, it would be difficult to hold them, and there were no people to govern, so what was the use of occupying them.

Besides, Lu Bu is not stupid, he now occupies Nanyang, and he can join forces with Liu Biao, but if he occupies Jiangxia, Liu Biao is unwilling to give up and not say anything, then Sun Ce may not stop, the strength of the Jiangdong Navy is still above the Jingzhou Navy Army, Lu Bu has suffered the loss of the Navy Army, in Nanyang, even if Liu Biao and Sun Ce join forces to attack, Lu Bu is not afraid, but if he runs to Jiangxia and is sandwiched between Liu Biao and Sun Ce, Lu Bu will have little confidence.

Although Wei Xu and the others were reluctant, Lu Bu's order had been issued, so they had to follow Lu Bu and lead the army to prepare to return to Nanyang.

After a short time, he saw a scout come to report: "Lord, the Anlu defenders are intercepting in front." ”

"Huh?" Lu Bu frowned, could it be that this Liu Biao saw Sun Ce being retreated and wanted to keep him in Jingzhou?

"Send more scouts, watch around!" Lu Bu snorted, but he was not afraid, and led the men and horses straight up, outside Anlu City, there was already a group of men and horses waiting, and they did not block the road, but just stood by the road, and after Lu Bu's army arrived, he saw a flying horse come out and go straight to Lu Bu's side.

Cao Xing bent his bow and arrows, but was stopped by Lu Bu with his hand, the other party was only one person, obviously it was impossible to run to do it, and he also recognized the person who came, among the generals in Jingzhou, in Lu Bu's opinion, most of them were rabble, but there were also good generals, and Wen Ping was one of them.

"The last general Wen Ping, thank you Wen Hou for helping me this time and relieving me of the siege of Jiangxia." Wen Ping came to the front of the formation and saluted Lu Bu.

"General Wen, what do you mean by this?" Lu Bu looked at the army behind Wen Ping and frowned.

"On the orders of my lord, I have come to offer the army to the Marquis of Wen, as well as to provide grain and grass." Wen Ping smiled and saluted.

"Let the king of Chu send the grain and grass to Nanyang, and as for the army, there is no need." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Let your people retreat, otherwise they will be enemies!" ”

In this kind of place, Lu Bu is a lone army, and now that the Jiangdong Army has retreated, if Liu Biao has any thoughts, it is not impossible to leave him Lu Bu here, and Lu Bu still has the heart to defend against people.

"This ......" Wen Ping was a little embarrassed: "The last general is ordered to come, my lord is not hostile to Wenhou, if the last general goes back, it is not easy to explain, and I hope that Wenhou will not embarrass the last general." ”

"Liu Biao is your lord, but not my lord, I call him the king of Chu, but to respect his Han clan relatives, how do you explain, it has nothing to do with me, get out of the way, otherwise Hugh blames a certain ruthless!" Lu Bu snorted coldly, and thousands of people came out to greet him, can he really be bullied by Lu Bu?

Wen Ping looked at Lu Bu, nodded, said no more, turned his horse's head and returned to the army.

"How!?" Liu Pan greeted him and asked.

"He refused, just asked me to wait for the grain and grass to be sent to Nanyang." Wen Ping sighed, it seemed that it would not work to take the opportunity to leave Lu Bu here.

Liu Biao did have the intention of leaving Lu Bu in Jiangxia, although the two joined forces this time and borrowed Lu Bu's strength to drive Sun Ce away, but the two joined forces and came forward to lobby Li Ru under Chen Mo, which made Liu Biao vigilant, the relationship between Lu Bu and Chen Mo was a little too close, if Lu Bu was regarded as Chen Mo's deployment, wouldn't it mean that he Jingxiang was already under Chen Mo's troops at this moment?

If it's just Lu Bu entrenched in Nanyang, Liu Biao is not worried, although Lu Bu is brave, but unpopular, the wealthy families of Nanyang have moved south, until now, Lu Bu does not have a decent strategist, and although Lu Bu's department is strong, he is not used to water warfare after all, but can also be used as a Jingxiang barrier to help Liu Biao block the threat from the Central Plains.

But if it is Chen Mo, then Liu Biao has to worry, although Chen Mo is not accustomed to water warfare, but if Chen Mo goes south, he is much more threatening than Lu Bu, at least one point, the rejection of Chen Mo by the wealthy families in Jingxiang is not high, Chen Mo is called over, and Jingxiang is afraid that it will be difficult to survive, so Liu Biao has the idea of taking the opportunity to cut off Lu Bu.

Wen Ping shook his head: "Then Lu Bu is quite cautious, he must let our army retreat to the city, otherwise he will have to do it." ”

Liu Pan frowned when he heard this: "What should I do?" ”

Head-to-head?

Sun Ce, who defeated the Jingzhou army and retreated, was helpless in the face of Lu Bu, so they naturally didn't think that they could leave Lu Bu behind.

"Withdraw the army, now that my two families are still in alliance, if we annoy Na Lu Bu, Jingzhou will have no peace." Wen Ping shook his head, there was nothing he could do, he could only withdraw, and he didn't want to fight Lu Bu outside the city, the chances of winning were slim.

"Alas~"
