After Han Xuan returned to Anhui City, Huang Zhong, Lu Fan, Zhang Hong and others went out of the city to greet him. Huang Zhong said with a smile: "The lord is really like a god with soldiers, Yuan Shu's army was defeated, why don't our army take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

Han Xuan shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu is defeated, Cao Cao and Lu Bu will definitely not be able to hold it back, we just need to wait and see what happens!" ”

Zhang Hong suggested: "The lord can watch the fire from the other side, and take advantage of the battle between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao and Lü Bu to send troops to collect Wu County." ”

Han Xuan remembered Sun Ce, so he told Zhang Hong about Zhang Zhao's plan for Sun Ce's beauty. Zhang Hong sighed and said, "Zibu's plan is very clumsy. Sun Ce has always had great ambitions, and if he is not willing to be a subordinate, it is difficult for the lord to subdue him! ”

Lu Fan weighed it and said: "Lord, according to Fan's opinion, it is better to attack Shu County first and defeat Liu Xun's troops. Then Lujiang is at your fingertips. ”

Zhang Hong objected: "No, Liu Xun's army is far stronger than Sun Ben, and now he will abandon the weak and attack the strong, which is really worth the loss." ”

Han Xuan saw that the two had different opinions, and he also had a headache. As a lord, you should be good at discernment, and choose the relatively good advice given by the strategist. Judging from Zhang Hong's thinking, it is to obtain Wu County and then take Huiji, and then divide the river and govern it, so that it can develop in the south in a stable manner.

But is Han Xuan a person who is willing to be stable? Historically, why did Sun Quan repeatedly fail to attack the territory of Cao Wei in the north after the Battle of Chibi, because the water war of Eastern Wu was strong, but the land war was weaker than that of Cao Wei.

War horses were scarce in the south, and the land war of Eastern Wu suffered losses. And Lujiang and Danyang are the places where elite soldiers are produced, and Danyang infantry is the best soldiers in the world. The Lujiang soldiers are not weak, and after capturing the Lujiang River, they can enrich Chen Wu's Wudang army.

Han Xuan then made a decision: "I intend to wait until Yuan Shu and Cao Cao and Lu Bu are at war, and then send troops to attack Shu County." The matter of Wu County can be postponed, and when the battle of Lujiang is over, Wu County will be dispatched! ”

Yuan Shu saw that Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others were defeated, and scolded: "Rice bucket! That Han Xuan only had 20,000 horses, and the 50,000 troops and Liu Xun's 100,000 people were defeated by him. ”

Zhang Xun said: "Liu Xun supports the army and respects himself, and refuses to join forces with us, for fear that he will have the heart of self-reliance." Please take back your military power to prevent future troubles! ”

Yuan Yin dissuaded: "Your Majesty, no, now is the time to employ people, and rashly seizing the power of the generals may disobey Han Xuan's wishes." When Lu Bu unites with His Majesty, why be afraid of Han Xuan and Cao Cao? ”

In Xuzhou, Han Yin told Lü Bu about being the emperor, and asked Lü Bu to fulfill the contract to marry his daughter to Yuan Shu's son, and Yuan Shu named Lü Bu as a general. Pei Xiang Chen Qi persuaded Lu Bu to say: "Cao Cao welcomes the Son of Heaven and assists the government, so he should work together with Cao Cao; If you marry Yuan Shu, you will definitely fall into the name of injustice. ”

Lu Bu thought so, so he chased his daughter back halfway, arrested Han Yin, and sent Xu Du to behead. So, Cao Cao made the imperial court edict Lü Bu as the left general, and personally wrote a letter to Lü Bu to deeply comfort him.

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard that Lü Bu had ruined the marriage and beheaded the envoys, and sent the generals Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Chen Ji and others to unite with Han Xian and Yang Feng to lead 100,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Pi under the rule of Xuzhou Prefecture.

Lu Bu made people listen to Zhang Xun's army to take Xuzhou from the main road, Qiaorui's army to take Xiaopei, Chen Ji's army to take Yidu, Li Feng's army to take Langya, Le's army to take Jieshi, Han Xian's army to take Pi, and Yang Feng's army to take Junshan.

The seven-way military horse, traveling fifty miles a day, swept all the way. Lu Bu had few soldiers at that time, only 10,000 people, so he urgently summoned all the strategists to discuss, and Chen Gong and Chen Qi's father and son also came. Chen Gong sneered: "The disaster in Xuzhou was recruited by Chen Qi's father and son, and the court flattered the court in order to seek the lord's fortune, and today the disaster is transferred to the general." The heads of the two can be cut off to offer Yuan Shu, and their troops will retreat. ”

Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's words, and immediately ordered someone to capture Chen Qi and Chen Deng. Chen Deng laughed and said, "Why is General Fengxian so cowardly? I look at the soldiers of the seven roads, like seven piles of rotten grass, how can I mind! ”

Lu Bu asked, "If you have a plan to defeat the enemy, you will be spared the death penalty." ”

Chen Deng said: "If the general uses a certain word, Xuzhou can be safe." ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "You can tell me about it." ”

Chen Deng said: "Although Yuan Shubing is numerous, they are all rabble, and they are not cronies. I defended it with a normal soldier, and I won it by surprise, and I succeeded in everything. ”

Lu Bu asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Chen Deng said: "Han Xian and Yang Feng are old ministers of the Han Dynasty, who fled because they were afraid of Cao Cao, and they had no home to rely on, so they temporarily returned to Yuan Shu; Yuan Shu will despise it, and he doesn't like to be used by Yuan Shu. If the ruler book is the internal response, it can be greatly broken. ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng and said, "You must personally go to Han Xian and Yang Feng to write a book. ”

Chen Deng agreed. Lü Bu then issued a letter to Xu Du, and then ordered Chen Deng to ride a few horses and wait for Han Xian on the Xiapi Road first. Han Xian brought troops in, and after the village was finished, Chen Deng came in to see him. Han Xian asked, "You are Lu Bu's people, why are you here?" ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "A certain Han minister, what is Lu Bu's person?" The general used to be a Hanchen, but now he is a traitor. So that your former achievements in protecting Guanzhong have come to naught, and a certain person is deeply sorry for the general. And Yuan Shu is suspicious, and the general will be harmed by him. If you don't plan it early today, you can't regret it! ”

Han Xian sighed: "I want to return to Han, and I hate it." ”

Chen Deng then took out Lu Bu's letter to him, and Han Xian said after reading it: "I know it. The public returns first. I fought against General Yang Feng. But looking at the fire as a number, Wen Hou can also respond with soldiers. ”

Chen Deng said goodbye to Han Xian and hurriedly returned to Lu Bu. Lu Bu then divided his troops into five routes: Gao Shun led an army into Xiaopei, and the enemy was bridged; Chen Gong led an army into Yidu, and the enemy Chen Ji; Zhang Liao and Zang Ba led an army out of Langya, and the enemy Li Feng; Song Xian and Wei continued to lead an army out of Jieshi, and the enemy was happy; Lu Bu led an army out of the avenue, and the enemy Zhang Xun.

Lu Bu went out of the city thirty miles to the village, and Zhang Xun led the army to come. Zhang Xun saw Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse from afar, carrying Fang Tian's halberd, Zhang Xun sighed: "Lu Bu's courage has not diminished when the tiger prison was closed, and he retreated twenty miles to live. Wait for the four troops to respond. ”

At the second watch of the night, Han Xian and Yang Feng divided their troops to set fire everywhere to receive Lu Bu's army into the village. Zhang Xunjun was in chaos. Lu Bu led his elite and state wolf cavalry to cover the kill, and Zhang Xun hurriedly got on his horse and fled.

Lu Bu chased after the red rabbit horse, Fang Tian's halberd stabbed Zhang Xun in the back, Zhang Xun hurriedly blocked the knife backwards, and narrowly blocked it. Lu Bu Fangtian's halberd swept over, Zhang Xun couldn't stand it, and the big knife in his hand fell under the horse.

Zhang Xun was shocked, fortunately his own soldiers arrived, how could a group of small soldiers stop Lu Bu, Lu Bu Fang Tian painted a halberd to stab left and right, and killed Zhang Xun's personal soldiers one by one.

Zhang Xun had already run far away, and Lu Bu's mount Red Rabbit Horse was extremely explosive, and he caught up with Zhang Xun in the blink of an eye. Lu Bu grabbed Zhang Xun with a halberd, and Fang Tian's halberd was about to stab Zhang Xun, and a spear was inserted horizontally to stop Lu Bu.

Lu Bu fixed his eyes and saw that the person with the gun was just a small soldier, and Lu Bu was shocked and felt that this person was very familiar. Zhang Xun took advantage of Lü Bu's battle with the soldier to blend in with the rebels and fled.

The little soldier looked at Lu Bu with a shocked expression and said with a smile: "Lu Bu, your dignified general naturally won't remember me as a pawn!" My name is Li Yong, a native of Chengxian County, do you remember? ”

Lu Bu remembered that when he was stationed in Chengxian County, he was defeated by a villager named Li Yong when his subordinate general Hou Cheng plundered the grain and grass of the villagers. Later, Lu Bu personally went to meet Li Yong, but unexpectedly, Li Yong's spear made him superb, and Lu Bu made Fang Tian draw a halberd to fight him for a hundred rounds, but he was defeated by Li Yong!

Lu Bu looked at Li Yong and suddenly became murderous. He Lu Bu had never been afraid of anyone alone, but he was defeated by Wang Yue in the battle, and he still used a sword that he was not good at at at that time. But he rode a red rabbit horse and held Fang Tian's halberd to be defeated by a villager, and it was so humiliating for him to spread it.

Lu Bu immediately took out all his strength, urged the Red Rabbit Horse to rush towards Li Yong, and raised Fang Tian's halberd to slap at Li Yong. Li Yong blocked it with a spear, and he was beaten by Lu Bu's full force and retreated.

He could feel Lu Bu's anger, and now Lu Bu was more proficient in martial arts than when he was defeated under his hands. Li Yong didn't dare to slack off, Yuan Shu's army was defeated, if he was surrounded by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, he would definitely die!
