Yanzhou.

Jiyin County.

To the west of the Nanquan River, on the vast plain, Lu Bu's army was stationed.

It was cold, and a bonfire was lit in the tent.

"Newspaper... Xiahoudun and Jia Xu led an army of 70,000 to come and have arrived at the Changshe garrison. A voice came from outside the tent, which made Zhang Liang and Xu Shu frown, and hurriedly looked at the map.

"Just in time!" Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were very excited.

Mu Guiying sat by the bonfire, drank a bottle of spirits, and said: "In the past few days, in addition to rushing or rushing, we have gone hundreds of miles deep into Yanzhou, and there are strong soldiers in front and behind. Every time we stopped to camp, we were surrounded by them and we were in a very dangerous situation. ”

"Gui Ying doesn't have to worry. Do you know why Cao Cao didn't dare to attack? Because he knew that if he couldn't beat me, he would only bluff and have no real meaning. Lu Bu also sat by the campfire.

Xu Shu took the map and walked over and said, "Lord, it's different now." Xiahoudun and Jia Xu came with an army of 70,000, less than three hundred miles away from us, plus the garrison of Xudu, they were a force to be reckoned with. ”

Zhang Liang interjected: "There is also Cao Cao in the east of the Nanquan River, who also has more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"It's all rubbish, not worth mentioning." Xiang Yu said proudly: "Please rest assured that the lord will go to Xudu, and I will lead the military camp to the queen." ”

"General Xiang is brave and brave, and he needs to be resourceful." Zhang Liangdao.

"I'm not resourceful?" Xiang Yu sneered and said, "I'm too lazy to fight with them, just tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers and horses, a battle can be won, and you still need to go around and around, it takes time?" ”

Zhang Liang: ".... ”

Xu Shu said: "Does the lord really want to attack Xu Du?" ”

"Where is Xu Du? How far is it from here? ”

"Huh? The lord doesn't know where Xu is? Xu Shu and Zhang Liang rolled their eyes.

Mu Guiying said: "Husband, Xu is in Yingchuan County." ”

"Isn't Yingchuan County from Yuzhou? Could it be that Cao Cao's Xu is in Yuzhou? Lu Bu was also a little confused.

Xu Shu explained: "Back to the lord, Xuchang belongs to Yingchuan, Yuzhou, but it is also close to Yanzhou, since Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage, he settled the court in Xuchang, renamed Xudu, under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. In fact, the location of Xudu is at the intersection of Yu, Yan and Sili. ”

As he spoke, he also pointed on the map and said, "Now the army of Xiahoudun and Jia Xu is stationed in Changshe, more than 100 miles away from Xudu, forming an angle with each other, if my army goes to Xudu, it will inevitably be attacked." ”

"Understood..."

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said: "I originally wanted to capture Xudu and give Cao Cao a little color to see, but Xiahoudun and Jia Xu's troops, with Cao Cao behind them, are really not in danger, and Xuzhou is also eager for reinforcements.... ”

"Is the lord going to give up attacking Xudu?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Well, there's a priority in everything. Now that Xuzhou is short of troops, we should go to rescue it. Again... Our whereabouts have been exposed, Xu Du must be prepared, even if we can kill Xu Capital, it will be difficult to conquer for a while. ”

"The lord is wise." Xu Shu and Zhang Liang all breathed a sigh of relief. They were also trying to suggest that Lü Bu should divert to Xuzhou and avoid fighting with Xiahoudun and Jia Xu, because that would lead to a heavy siege.

I didn't expect Lu Bu to have this intention, so I had to persuade again.

"Xiang Yu."

"Yes."

Lu Budao: "Aren't you clamoring for a war, I'll give you a chance to lead the military camp to the queen." Prevent Cao Cao and Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses from catching up. Let's spare the Nanquan River, hurry up, and rush to Xuzhou. ”

"No."

Xiang Yu responded happily.

At dawn, Lü Bu led his army westward, along the Nanquan River, to Chenliu. As long as you bypass Chenliu and arrive at Taishan County, it will not be far from Xuzhou, and the distance before and after should be less than 2,000 miles.

Xiang Yu led the broken military camp to stay, waiting for Cao Cao's pursuers.

In recent days, he has been holding back the fire in his belly. If Lu Bu hadn't stopped him, he would have turned around and fought Cao Cao a long time ago. In his eyes, the so-called hundreds of thousands of Cao troops are just decorations and have little combat effectiveness.

Only the Qingzhou Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Longxiang Battalion, the Tiger Ben Battalion... These well-known elites are worthy of his spirits.

"Newspaper... Five miles ahead, find Cao Jun! During the march, Lu Bu was resting in the chariot when he suddenly heard a report from the scout.

"How many are there?" Lu Bu walked out of the car.

"About tens of thousands." The scout replied.

"Impossible! Cao Cao's troops were all in the east and northeast, how did they run to the west? Lu Bu reprimanded: "It must be that you have made a mistake in your investigation, go and find out quickly, and then report it." ”

"No."

Jia Xu rode a fast horse, approached the chariot, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the minister dares to guarantee that the Cao army blocking the road in front will not exceed five thousand, and they are all light horses." Don't forget, outside the city of Nanchang, those wooden stakes and armor. ”

"Well, go and call Wei Xu."

Wei Xu was Gao Shun's subordinate general, responsible for commanding 10,000 chariots and accompanying Lü Bu on the expedition.

"What does the lord command?" Wei continued to ride his horse.

Lu Budao: "Just scouting and reporting, there are tens of thousands of Cao troops in the front five miles, I order you to lead all the chariots, run over them, and don't let anyone go!" ”

"No."

Wei Xu was eager to make meritorious contributions and hurriedly went.

At dawn, he led 10,000 chariots to the battlefield and crushed them like bulldozers. As Xu Shu expected, Cao Cao's military formation was all fake, the chariots ran over, the ground was full of wooden sticks, armor and helmets, and there was not a single enemy.

"Carving insect skills!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly and ordered the troops to move forward at full speed, striving to reach Chenliu within three days.

Xiang Yu waited for half a day in the west of Nanquan River, but he didn't see Cao Cao's army chasing after him, and he was afraid that Lu Bu would make a mistake, so he reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army to chase Lu Bu.

At this time, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were discussing.

"Lu Bu gave up attacking Xudu because he wanted to rush to the aid of Xuzhou. What can Bonghyo do to stop him? Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia laughed: "Why did the prime minister stop him? ”

"What do you mean by filial piety?"

"We have 300,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, all of whom are elite in a hundred battles, and they have absolute advantages in field battles and siege warfare. It is expected that within a month, Fan Lihua will be able to defeat Fan Lihua and collect all the six counties of Xuzhou. At that time, Lu Bu's reinforcements had just arrived, and he didn't have siege equipment, so what could he do to me? The prime minister should return to Yuzhang County, enter Yangzhou all the way, and then urge Liu Bei and Sun Ce to occupy Jiangxia County and Huiji County. In such a war between the two states, the prime minister can have the upper hand. ”

Cao Cao smiled, nodded and said, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. Yuzhang County is garrisoned by Gao Shun's 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can they stop me? Quickly ordered Xiahoudun and Jia Xu to come to meet us, and then stormed Yuzhang County. ”

"The prime minister is wise." Guo Jia smiled.
