Time passes minute by minute...

Xiahou Yuan's troops left the battlefield and withdrew westward.

Lu Bu, Fan Lihua, and Mu Guiying pursued in unison. Chased straight to the valley twenty miles away, was ambushed by more than 20,000 Qingzhou troops, suffered many casualties, and had to retreat to the battlefield.

After the sky cleared, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield.

"Husband, are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying saw Lu Bu and ran over.

"How's Xiapi City?" Lu Bu asked.

Fan Lihua said: "Husband, rest assured, Cao Ren's troops have withdrawn, and Xiapi City is safe and sound." ”

"Okay." Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a faint pain in his lower abdomen and thighs, and after careful inspection, he found that he was also injured. But in order not to affect the morale of the army, he has always insisted.

"My husband must be very tired after fighting all night, so it's better to go back to the city to rest first." Fan pear flower road.

"Hmm."

Back in Xiapi City, Lu Bu called a military doctor to treat his wounds.

Fan Lihua walked into the bedroom and saw that the copper basin was full of blood, and was startled: "Husband, are you seriously injured?" ”

"It's fine, just a little injury. What happened to Yuanba and Xiang Yu? ”

"They're also hurt."

"What?"

Lu Bu just asked casually, but he didn't expect Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu to be really injured, and immediately asked, "How are the injuries?" ”

Fan Lihua said: "General Xiang was hit by an arrow in his back. Yuan Ba stepped on an iron nail on the sole of his foot. But the injuries were not serious, and the military doctor had already been called to treat the wounds and bandage them. ”

"Well, after all, it's flesh and blood, and no matter how brave you are, you can't stop the sharp weapon." Lu Bu couldn't help but reflect on whether it was too risky to always rely on Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu to fight against enemies several times his size.

No matter how brave a warrior is, he is afraid of knives and guns, and a small nail is enough to kill.

After taking care of the wound and wiping his body again, Lu Bu changed into clean clothes and returned to the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion.

Generals at all levels came one after another.

Lu Bu sat in the first place, wearing a thick cotton jacket and a stove in front of him to keep warm.

"Sit down."

"Thank you, Lord."

Lu Bu raised his eyes, looked at Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu, and asked, "How are your injuries?" ”

"Lord Xie cares, it's just a little injury." Xiang Yu smiled bitterly: "Originally, the war was over, and when I was cleaning the battlefield, I was attacked by a dying person and was hit by an arrow in my back, which is really unlucky." ”

Li Yuan said domineeringly: "I am more unlucky than you, walking on the road and stepping on a horse nail." ”

"It's okay."

Lu Bu was also completely relieved, thinking of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Longxiang camp, he couldn't help but say: "Cao Cao's elite is extraordinary, if he didn't take the initiative to evacuate in the end, I don't know who wins and who loses." ”

"yes."

"Don't take any more risks in the future." Zhang Lianghou said fearfully.

"Tell me, why did the enemy withdraw?" Lu Bu diverted the topic and asked.

Xu Shu said: "The minister is also puzzled, it stands to reason that Cao Ren should feign to capture Pi and send heavy troops to help the battlefield." What was the purpose of his sudden withdrawal? Isn't it to ambush our pursuers? That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

Regarding the withdrawal of troops, the generals are also thinking about it, but they can't figure it out.

Crumb.

The Shadows sent two battle reports.

After Lu Bu saw it, he was both surprised and delighted: "Okay! Good! ”

"The lord said that it is good to say two, there must be a great joy, right?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Hahaha..."

Lu Bu held the battle report and said, "I'll let you guess, whoever can guess, I will reward him." ”

"Presumably General Gao Shun, who won the battle?" Zhang Liang guessed.

Lu Bu shook his head.

"Or did Liu Bei and Sun Ce retire?" Xu Shu guessed.

Lu Bu still shook his head.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Lord, don't sell the guanzi, tell us quickly." ”

"Hahaha..." Lu Budao: "Let me tell you, Wei Yan led an army of 50,000 to capture Xudu, captured a large number of officials such as Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Liu Ye, Cao, Xiahou, etc., and even the little emperor was controlled.... ”

"Is this true?!" Xu Shu was shocked.

"How have I ever told a lie?"

"Great. We have these people in hand, which is equivalent to pinching Cao Cao's weakness. Are you still afraid that he will not withdraw his troops? The generals were overjoyed.

Lu Bu said: "Also, Yuan Shaoqin led an army of 500,000 to cross the Yellow River, and now the troops are divided into two routes, all the way to attack Chenliu, all the way to the Tiger Pass. As I expected, Cao Cao's army would immediately withdraw to Yanzhou to meet Yuan Shao. ”

"Good... should also let Cao Cao taste what it was like to be attacked. Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying were overjoyed.

It is not difficult to understand why Cao Ren withdrew his troops. He was in a hurry to return to Yanzhou and fight against Yuan Shao. Zhang Liang said.

"yes."

The generals all nodded.

Lu Bu endured the pain of the wound, took out the map, ordered the two soldiers to unfold, and said, "Now that Xu Yang is in two states, the situation is very good. As long as Cao Cao withdraws his troops, Sun Ce and Liu Bei will have no need to attack, and they will definitely withdraw. I'm determined to wipe out the princes along the way, do you have any good advice? ”

"The lord is saying, take the initiative?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Hmm."

Lu Budao: "We have been fighting for half a year, and there are no less than tens of thousands of casualties, so we can't return empty-handed, right?" Since the princes from all walks of life have united to attack me, I must give them some powerful taste, otherwise they will join forces next time. ”

Xu Shu said: "The minister thinks that Cao Cao's strength is still very strong, and it is not suitable to fight him head-on." Since Yuan Shao intervened and came in, let him fight Cao Cao, and the lord could order General Wei Yan to lead the army to withdraw from Xudu. As for eliminating Sun Ce and Liu Bei, there is no need to rush for a while. Because of our war with Cao Cao, we lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and we should first return to Shouchun to recuperate. ”

"No way!"

Lu Budao: "Sun Ce and Liu Bei must be eliminated. These two hateful guys, taking advantage of Cao Cao's attack, took advantage of the fire to rob. Especially Sun Ce, I told him a long time ago that the warships of the Jiangdong Army were not allowed to enter the Neijiang River, but he ignored them. If I don't destroy his Jiaozhou, where is the majesty? ”

"Husband."

Fan Lihua persuaded: "We fought with Cao Cao, and we did suffer heavy casualties. If you attack Sun Ce again, I am afraid that I will have more than enough heart and not enough strength. Besides, Yuan Shao's intentions are still unclear, and it is not yet known whether he will invade Xuzhou. ”

Xu Shu and Zhang Liang were also about to say this, but they didn't expect Fan Lihua to take the lead.

Both of them agreed.

Lu Bu said angrily: "No. I can't swallow this breath. Whether it is to destroy Sun Ce or Liu Bei, one must be destroyed. I know that the armies suffered heavy casualties, but to eliminate Sun Ce and Liu Bei, in fact, there are not many soldiers and horses, especially Sun Ce, as long as there are 50,000 people. You don't... You can't even take out 50,000 people, right? ”
