Lu Bu ordered someone to send Ruyi back to the bedroom to rest, so that he had time to discuss the military situation with a group of generals and ministers.

At this time, Yang Xiu, who came back from the herald, first said: "The governor of Gaoshun broke through the depth of Dongjun from Jizhou, cutting off the back road of Cao's army to Qingzhou, Cao Cao has become a lost dog, even if Cao Cao cannot be captured alive in this battle, he is also considered to be the general trend has gone, and there is no possibility of a comeback. After that, Qingzhou can be taken in the east, Yangzhou can be taken in the south, and Cao Cao's territory is divided into two, and they can not support each other, and they can be divided and broken, which can be described as a good situation. ”

All the generals are full of spring breeze, who would have thought that it was originally an army to attack Jingzhou, temporarily turned north, there was such an unexpected joy, less than a month, even under Yuzhou, Dongjun, like a broken bamboo, Cao Cao's main force was broken, so that it suffered heavy damage, and this is all thanks to Lu Bu's accumulation over the years, in Yanzhou, Jizhou to raise troops and grain, there is no worries, there is today's thunder strike.

Lu Bu said disapprovingly: "Although Dongjun is good, it is already in our pocket, it has long become a trapped beast in a cage, sooner or later for me to wait for a good meal, the current opportunity should be to attack Yangzhou in one go, Cao Cao must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold, Cao Cao is defeated, Qingzhou guarded by Sima Yi has become a corner of the picture outside the picture, when I Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou three sides surrounded, Qingzhou will have no way to retreat, can only jump into the sea." ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "What the prince said is extremely true, Cao Cao also used the strength of our army last year as a reference, he was already doomed to this defeat, our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue, beat the water dogs, and never let him have a chance to turn over." ”

The generals burst into laughter, and Lu Bu also laughed: "What a beating of the water dog, since Cao Cao has given us such a good opportunity, how can we live up to his good intentions." The congregation will obey the order! ”

In a relaxed and comfortable situation, Lu Bu arranged the future itinerary of the army.

The herald ordered Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang on the front line to continue to besiege and kill the wandering Xiahou Tang of Ju Yeze, and then besiege Dongjun with Gao Shun after the success, and take the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop. Wei Yue escorted Ruyi and other wounded generals back to Anyi to recuperate, and the rest of the generals followed Lü Bu to help Zhang Liao, who was pursuing Cao Cao, and took advantage of the situation to capture the counties of Yangzhou, and swept away the remnants of Cao Cao's forces one by one.

The generals have followed Lu Bu to fight for many years, although they have won many victories and lost few, and they have tasted the taste of victory, but they have not won so quickly and quickly like this battle, and they can't help but have more respect for Lu Bu.

In this battle, Lu Bu almost abandoned the infantry, and every battle was raided by cavalry, so that Cao Jun fell behind step by step, and could only be beaten passively.

Lu Bu smiled secretly, the steel torrent of Germany in later generations almost swallowed the whole of Europe, so that several old powers had almost no power to fight back.

The army marched south, and Zhao Yun, who came from the whole army, had no one left in the vanguard of Zhao Yun, who was originally full of troops, and only two thousand elite cavalry remained.

Zhao Yun was ashamed and pleaded guilty: "My subordinates failed to break through Cao Cao's military camp, and they lost many horses, so please punish the prince." ”

Lu Bu hurriedly smiled and helped him up and said, "Zilong is the biggest contributor to the victory in this battle, what a crime!" If it weren't for Zilong to attract Cao Cao's main force and contain tens of thousands of elite soldiers such as Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, and Cao Ren, where would Li County have won a great victory. Hurry up, I'm going to reward you a lot. ”

Yang Xiu even laughed and said: "Zilong has made a great contribution, and the feudal marquis worship is close at hand, don't be stingy when the time comes, please wait for me to eat and drink." ”

Zhao Yun came all the way to the army, and had already heard that Zhang Liao broke the camp of Cao Junli County, making Cao Cao fall into the wilderness and escape, and was regretting that he could not join the siege with Zhang Liao and capture Cao Cao alive, and when he heard the words of Lu Bu and Yang Xiu, he felt ashamed, and said: "Zhao Yun is incompetent, so he still let Xu Chu escape." ”

Tian Feng smiled and persuaded: "General Zilong doesn't have to blame himself, I think that Xu Chu is brave and martial, and there are Cao Ren's 10,000 troops to respond, it is not easy for the general to retreat with his whole body, and the war with the Cao army is by no means a day's work, there will be many vicious battles in the future, the general should cheer up, make persistent efforts, and continue to pursue and kill them." Yangzhou is just a small land, and they can still escape to the sky. ”

After appeasing Zhao Yun, the army joined forces and continued to move south, approaching the bank of Yingshui, where Zhang Liao commanded the army and built river crossing equipment.

Cao Cao has been operating here for many years, and naturally there are countless tools for crossing the river, but when they left, they requisitioned all the ferries within a radius of ten miles, and cut down and burned all the surrounding trees, so that Zhang Liao could only look at the river and sigh, and urgently ordered the soldiers to cut down trees from a farther distance, but the amount of work was really huge, how could it be successful in one day or two?

Seeing Lu Bu's army heading south, Zhang Liao went to the army to meet Lu Bu, and said regretfully: "Cao Hongwei Zhizi blocked the way of our army, making Cao Cao have the opportunity to flee south, and Zhang Liao was ashamed of his trust in the prime minister." ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Where Wen Yuan said, you can read my situation without hurting the innocent, I am grateful." It's just that in the future, we still need to focus on the overall situation, don't lose big because of small things, even if Cao Cao catches me, Wen Yuan will not allow his subordinates to show mercy. ”

Although Lu Bu couldn't be sure that the child in Cao Cao's hands was his lost parent, but in case, if this was true, then Zhang Liao could be regarded as saving the child's life. Although he heard that this son was vicious and not a good person, if he really had blood and family relations with him, how could he bear to harm his life.

It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, whether it is life or death should be dealt with by oneself, so why borrow Cao Cao's hand. If the world knows that Lu Bu has a son but can't protect it, won't he be rumored to be a laughing stock.

Therefore, after learning that Zhang Liao did not make a rash move, he took care of Lu Bu's face, and Lu Bu was also grateful in his heart.

In the days that followed, Lü Bu set up camp on the banks of the Yingshui River, where he ordered his army to collect trees from all around to build rafts to cross the river.

However, the trees along the river were completely destroyed by Cao's army before leaving, and the army could only collect them from farther away, so it took a full ten days.

In the middle of the 10th, Lü Bu received a messenger sent by Zhang Jaw, and learned that Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun had defeated Juyeze, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, and only led the remnants of the army to flee to Jiyin City in Dongjun to join Cheng Yu and others who were guarding Cao Cao's lair in Dongjun.

And Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and even went down to several cities in Dongjun, and besieged Jiyin, Dong'e and other places in Dongjun, echoing Gao Shun in Dongping, which can be said to be a victory.

Seeing that the war situation was developing as he expected, and that the battle was developing in the direction he had planned, Lu Bu had no worries about the Yanzhou war, and everything was ready to cross the river in front of him, so he immediately ordered the army to cross the river and go south.

Cao Cao had few soldiers and did not dare to block along the line, and Lu Bu led the army as if he had entered a no-man's land, connecting countless counties along the way.

Half a month later, the army approached the city of Xiyang.

Xiyang is set up by Gaozu time, because it is named after the Yang of Fine Water, belongs to Ruyin County, is the gateway to Yangzhou, and to capture Xiyang, it is equivalent to kicking open the gate of Yangzhou, and then it is a smooth road, which can go directly to the Qinhuai River, and the soldiers are in Yangzhou to govern Shouchun.
