Shan Tong brought the artillery regiment and the battalion directly under the military headquarters to Wuchang City.

Lü Bu and Xu Shu joined forces, traveled lightly, and marched sharply to the south.

Since Lü Bu's invasion of Jingzhou, the war in Jingzhou has attracted much attention from all forces. In particular, the first division that entered Jiaozhou and Chen Gong in Shouchun, Yangzhou, were paying attention to the development of the situation all the time.

Cao Xing, the commander of the 1st Division, was afraid that Lu Bu would lose in Jiangxia County, so he sent the 1st Brigade back to Jiangxia.

In the name of the Military Aircraft Department, Chen Gong ordered Luo Cheng's 60,000 soldiers and horses and Huang Zhong's 30,000 reserve soldiers to rush to Xiangyang to garrison. He also ordered the officials and households to transfer officials and prepare money and food. Together with Luo Cheng and Huang Zhong, he took over Jingzhou.

At this time, it was in the north of Wuchang City.

The 80,000 iron cavalry and chariots of Zhang Liao, Bai Qi, and Cao Cao were advancing southward at an extremely fast speed.

Cao Cao did not expect that Zhuge Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops could not stop more than 10,000 people in Lübu District, and they were occupied by Wuchang and driven to the Jiangfang battalion in the south. Judging from the current situation, even if they don't rush to Lu Bu's aid, Lu Bu is bound to destroy Zhuge Liang.

Cao Cao couldn't understand why Lu Bu was so strong?

"Newspaper... The Lord has a decree. Please ask General Bai Qi to lead 40,000 light cavalry to the Jiangfang battalion to help in the battle. "On the march, a soldier came to report.

After Bai Qi received the order, he said: "The battle with Zhuge Liang has reached the last moment. General Zhang Liao, how about I go first? ”

"Go ahead."

Zhang Liao was quite helpless, he also wanted to kill the enemy and make contributions, but unfortunately Lu Bu intended to let Bai Qi make contributions, so what could he do?

Bai Qi rode away.

Cao Cao drove forward, walked side by side with Zhang Liao, and said, "General Lu values Bai Qi a lot, I don't know what he is good at? ”

Zhang Liao saw through Cao Cao's thoughts at a glance, and thought in his heart: "Don't you just want to sow discord..." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Cao Gong is so forgetful." When he was in Donghai County, General Luo's soldiers and horses were surrounded by your troops, and it was in vain that he broke out of the encirclement and turned defeat into victory, did Cao Gong forget? ”

"Hehe, I remembered, I remembered..."

Cao Cao looked embarrassed.

Bai Qi's 40,000 light cavalry moved quickly, marching 600 miles in just two days, catching up with Lü Bu.

Somewhere.

Lü Bu was fighting with Ma Dai's 40,000 foot soldiers, and the battle was in full swing.

"My lord, General Bai Qi is here..." Liang Hongyu rushed to the front of the army and reported to Lu Bu.

"Just in time!"

Lu Bu said: "Tell Bai Qi's light horseman, leave Ma Dai alone, rush straight over, chase Zhuge Liang, don't let him go." If you want to use Ma Dai as a substitute for the dead ghost, don't think about it! ”

"No."

Liang Hongyu personally went to herald the order.

Of the 40,000 light cavalry under Bai Qi's command, 20,000 were Liang Hongyu's, and considering Lu Bu's safety, he returned Liang Hongyu's 20,000 light cavalry and only led his own soldiers to chase after him.

"Thank you, General." Liang Hongyu reacquainted herself with Bai Qi.

On the occasion of this great achievement, Bai Qi actually took the initiative to return the soldiers and horses, which shows that he understands things and takes the overall situation into account.

"Kill...!"

Liang Hongyu led his troops and horses back to the battlefield and faced Ma Dai from the front.

With just one stick of incense, he defeated Ma Dai's 40,000 foot soldiers, captured Ma Dai, and more than 20,000 surviving people under Ma Dai's command. The formations laid out by Zhuge Liang were also destroyed.

"Lord, our army is victorious!" Liang Hongyu came covered in blood.

Lu Bu glanced at her, took off the battle robe on his body, and handed it to Liang Hongyu: "Hongyu is fortunate, and when she returns to Shouchun, she will be rewarded." ”

"Misfortune and suffering, as long as you can win the battle." Liang Hongyu put on her battle robe and replied.

"Hmm."

Lu Budao: "Now that Ma Dai's army has been defeated, Zhuge Liang has no escape. If Bai Qi can catch up with him, he will definitely be able to make a contribution. ”

"Lord, General Bai Qi has 20,000 light horsemen under his command, I'm afraid it's not Zhuge Liang's opponent, the last general wants to rush to help, I don't know the lord..." Liang Hongyu remembered that Bai Qi had returned the soldiers and horses before, and wanted to return Bai Qi's favor.

Lu Budao: "Okay, you go and tell Bai Qi, it doesn't matter if you can capture the enemy army or not, the key is to capture Zhuge Liang." This person is super resourceful and uses strange soldiers, and he must not let go! ”

"No."

After Liang Hongyu left, there were only a few thousand people left around Lu Bu. Xu Shu's two infantry regiments were sharply reduced in number to 1,000, and their ammunition and grenades were exhausted. and more than 20,000 captives. If at this time, there can be an iron horse to kill, it will definitely be fatal.

But it's a pity that Zhuge Liang wants to escape back to Yizhou, how dare he turn back?

After cleaning up the battlefield.

Lu Bu ordered to camp on the spot.

The shadow sent the Jiaozhou battle report and Cao Xing's recital.

After reading it, Lu Bu discussed with Xu Shu: "Cao Xing said in the compromise, Sun Ce died violently, and his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and Sun Quan was willing to cut the title of King Wu and sacrifice Longbian County. I just hope that there will be a place for the Sun family to spend their old age in peace. Yuan Zhi, what do you think? ”

"Sun Ce is really dead?"

"See for yourself."

Lu Bu handed the fold sent by Cao Xuan to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said: "Sun Ce is also the hero of the world, and he doesn't want to die violently, it's sad and lamentable.... ”

Yuan Zhi's words are wrong. Even if Sun Ce doesn't die, how long can he live? It's just a matter of dying a few days early, what's the difference between dying a few days later and dying a few days later? Lu Bu sneered.

"What the lord said is very true."

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that Sun Quan is willing to cut his title and sacrifice Longbian County, which shows his sincerity." The lord might as well agree, and reward him with a lifelong wealth.... ”

"No, we can't get them to surrender just yet." Lu Bu seemed to remember something.

"Huh? What does the lord mean? ”

Xu Shu was puzzled. Isn't the army conquering Jiaozhou just to eliminate the Sun clan and conquer Jiaozhou? If Sun Quan surrenders on his own initiative, he can take Sun Quan's generals for his own use, and he can also win the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaozhou. Why not?

"You make me think again..."

Lu Bu thought about it for a while, then changed his mind and said, "It is not impossible to accept Sun Quan's surrender. You wrote a letter to Cao Xing on my behalf, and said that I would personally reward Sun Quan and his vassals. All the generals, including Sun Quan, will be invited to Shouchun. ”

"What does the lord want to do?"

"You'll know when the time comes..." Lu Bu didn't break it. The Jiangdong ministers were wiped out, and they were invited to Shouchun, in order to accumulate anger points, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Lu Bu miss it? Only with a large amount of rage can you summon a large number of historical generals and increase your own strength. This is more important than occupying Jiaozhou and gaining the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaozhou.

"Yes."

Xu Shu didn't think much about it, thinking that Lu Bu really wanted to reward Sun Quan, after all, Lu Bu had already obtained Jiaozhou, so there was no need to add more killings.
