After Sun Ce and Zhao Yun left, Lu Bu motioned for the guards to withdraw as well.

An oil lamp was lit in the tent, and Lu Bu, who was lying on his back, looked at the top of the tent.

Flames from the oil lamps danced, casting a small dark corner on the top of the tent.

As the flames jumped, the dark corners were sometimes big and small.

Staring at the dark corner, Lu Bu, who had slept all day, actually felt a little sleepy again.

Closing his eyes, he felt the scenery in front of him change rapidly.

When the scenery settled, he saw a forest, a forest with cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Yoshii!

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and remembered the cherry blossom forest in Yijing.

The breeze blows through the cherry blossom forest, the branches sway, and the petals fall like pink snowflakes flying in the sky.

Seeing this familiar scene, Lu Bu thought that when he led his troops through Yijing and saw this cherry blossom forest, he had walked in.

A girl in pink in the forest gave him a halberd.

After practicing it a few times, he felt that the halberd method seemed to be useless, so he threw it aside and ignored it again.

I clearly remember that I was sleeping on the top of Dangshan Mountain, and subconsciously told Lu Bu that everything in front of me was just a dream.

Although it is in a dream, since it is a revisit, I can't help but take a look in the forest.

He walked towards the cherry blossom forest.

Entering the forest, falling petals fluttered beside him.

The top of his head and shoulders also had a few pink petals on them.

Glancing at the petals that had fallen on his shoulder, he did not brush them away, but continued to walk into the woods.

After walking a short distance, Lu Bu heard the sound of gurgling water.

Once when he saw the girl in pink, he also heard the sound of running water.

The scenery in front of him was vaguely recognizable, and Lu Bu knew that he had returned to this familiar place.

A gentle footstep came from the depths of the woods.

Lu Bu looked ahead and saw the shepherd boy who had led the way for him approaching him.

Unlike the last time, the shepherd boy was on foot today, not riding his ox.

Coming to Lu Bu, the shepherd boy smiled and said, "Chu Hou is here again?" ”

"Do you remember me?" Lu Bu returned the salute: "Dare to ask if Miss is not there?" ”

"I just knew that Chu Hou was coming, and Miss specially asked me to come out to greet him." The shepherd boy replied: "But she doesn't want to see Chu Hou, just ask you to go back first, when you understand her good intentions, it's not too late to come back to see her." ”

"Miss and I only met once last time, I don't know what her good intentions are?" Lu Bu said: "Why don't you go and talk to the young lady again, please tell me something about it?" ”

"Chu Hou doesn't know Miss's temper yet." The shepherd boy replied, "If she says she can't see you, she won't show up." Even if Chu Hou arrived at her residence, it would be impossible to see her. ”

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Bu to break into a girl's boudoir, not to mention that he could still vaguely feel that he was in a dream right now.

In his dream, he broke into a young lady's boudoir, although others could not know, but he himself would find it ridiculous.

But last time, he also saw the young lady when he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or reality.

When he came to his senses, he already had the halberd in his hand.

The halberd method was strange, and Lu Bu also felt strange at the time, so he tried to practice it a few times.

He was already the first in the world of martial arts, and he practiced the halberd method a few times, but he always felt that it was useless, so he was abandoned later.

"Since the young lady refuses to meet, can the little boy make her words clearer?" Lu Bu said: "Even if the young lady is dissatisfied with me, I have to understand why. ”

"Chu Hou fought with Cao Jun two days ago, why did he lose his strength in the middle of the road?" Xiao Tong smiled slightly, and said to Lu Bu: "I can only say this, if I say too much, Miss will definitely blame." ”

Lu Bu looked dazed, he still didn't quite understand, how could the shepherd boy remember to mention that he had fought with Cao Jun two days ago?

Why did you deliberately point out that you had no strength in the middle of the road?

He was still at a loss, and the shepherd boy said with a smile: "Chu Hou's mental strength is not strong enough now, so it is better to go back early, so as not to fall into this place and be difficult to return." ”

The shepherd boy turned to leave, and Lu Bu was about to catch up and ask again, when a fog suddenly filled his eyes.

The fog was thick, and soon Lu Bu could no longer see the scenery in front of him.

When the fog lifted, it was dark before his eyes.

When he opened his eyes suddenly, the flames on the oil lamp were still flickering, and the direction he was facing was still the top of the tent.

Exhaling, Lu Bu knew that it was just a dream just now.

He rolled over and was about to go back to sleep when a few petals on the pillow caught his attention.

Cherry blossom!

Pink cherry blossoms!

Stunned, he twisted up a small cherry blossom petal, and Lu Bu knew that he had actually brought something out of the dream this time.

Is it a dream or is it real?

If it was just a dream, why did he find cherry blossoms next to his pillow?

If what had just happened, why was he still lying in his tent, not even moving for half a minute?

Twisting a petal, Lu Bu sat up.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he got up with a grunt and ran to rummage through the package he was carrying.

Digging through the package and finding the halberd, he leaned under the oil lamp and flipped through a few pages.

The halberd method is written on Cai Hou paper.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun invented papermaking, but the papermaking process at that time was really rough, and the quality of the paper was very poor.

When using Caihou paper to record words and patterns, there will be some ink stains that leak out, which makes people feel very unpleasant to look at.

After flipping through a few pages, Lu Bu didn't feel any difference in this set of halberd methods.

He was still wondering what the shepherd boy had said to him, but he was really not tired at all.

He has completely memorized the halberd method recorded in the book, but he has neglected to practice it recently, and some of the paths may not be able to be practiced completely.

After reading it twice from beginning to end, recalling the routine he had practiced at the beginning, he got up and walked out of the tent with his halberd.

When the two guards guarding outside the tent saw him come out, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Ignoring them, Lu Bu came to the open space outside the tent and practiced the halberd technique.

Earlier, when he practiced this halberd method, he didn't think it was so strange, but this time something strange happened.

It stands to reason that the halberd is heavy, and after practicing for a while, you should feel that the strength gradually flows away from your body.

But the more Lu Bu practiced, the more strength he had.

After practicing a set of halberd techniques, Lu Bu only felt refreshed and full of strength.

Taking a deep breath, when he put the painting halberd aside, he secretly praised this halberd method in his heart

It seems that practicing this set of halberd methods can really restore the strength in the body.

He even suspected that the power and speed of the sudden appearance earlier were also inextricably linked to this halberd method.

It was already late at night, and Lu Bu suddenly ran out to practice the halberd method, and the two guards guarding outside the tent were at a loss.

Although they were puzzled, they did not dare to ask more, so they could only stand and watch from a distance.

After practicing a set of halberd methods, he felt that all the strength in his body was back, and Lu Bu still felt that it was not enjoyable enough, and then practiced all the way.

Practicing the halberd method again, he found that his strength had not recovered again, but it was no different from practicing the ordinary halberd method.

Feeling a little lost in his heart, he turned and walked back to the tent.

When Lu Bu entered the tent, the two guards glanced at each other, both with blank expressions.

Early the next morning, while Lu Bu was still asleep, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun came to his tent.

"Has Chu Hou risen?" Sun Ce asked the two guards.

After keeping watch all night, the guards also felt very sleepy, and one of them replied very energetically: "Back to General Sun, Chu Hou suddenly came out last night to practice a set of martial arts, and then went into the tent to rest. Maybe I'm too tired to hear it yet. ”

"I'm already up." Before the guard replied to Sun Ce, Lu Bu's voice came from the tent: "Are Bo Fu and Zilong here?" ”

"Exactly." Sun Ce replied: "The two of us are just here to report to the Marquis of Chu, and Cao Cao has indeed retreated far away." ”

"Come to the tent." Lu Bu greeted.

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun entered the tent and saw Lu Bu sitting there reading a book.

Lu Bu was looking at a book without a cover, and the two of them didn't know what he was reading.

"Qi Chu Hou, Cao Cao has indeed gone far......" Sun Ce reported to him again.

"You've already said that." Lu Bu said: "Since he is gone, we should also return to Pengcheng." ”

"Chu Hou doesn't plan to go to Dangshan?" Sun Ce said: "Although Cao Cao retreated this time, he may come back when he will be killed." ”

"Cao Cao won't come again for a while." Lu Bu said: "Either he can find a way to subdue me, or he will honestly return to Xudu Nest, I think he should be thinking about how to deal with me when he goes back this time." ”

It was the halberd method he was looking at, and he stuffed the book into his arms, and Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce and Zhao Yun: "In the previous battle, Cao Cao was almost beheaded by me, no matter what, he will not dare to attack us again in the short term." Let's go back to Pengcheng first, if he really dares to come, it's not too late to come back to fight. ”

Lu Bu decided to return to Pengcheng first, and neither Sun Ce nor Zhao Yun said anything more.

Standing facing Lu Bu, Sun Ce thought for a moment before asking him, "Chu Hou, I heard what the guards said......

"Isn't it said that I suddenly ran out last night and practiced a set of halberd techniques?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

"Exactly." Sun Ce replied: "Chu Hou's body is not safe yet, but you have to take care." ”

"If there is no Da'an, how can I go out to practice?" Lu Bu replied: "I just felt that I had some strength in my body, so I danced a set of halberd techniques in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect to be felt strange by the guards." ”

"The guards are also worried about Chu Hou." Sun Ce said: "I feel that Chu Hou is still resting well these days, don't dance with the halberd easily." The halberd was very heavy, and it was not something that ordinary people could dance. If Chu Hou exerted too much strength because of dancing with it, Zilong and I would have no way to control the soldiers. ”

"Bo Fu has a point." Lu Bu smiled at Sun Ce and Zhao Yun: "Actually, you two don't have to pay attention to it at all, you two should also know my ability." On the battlefield, it can still make Cao Cao frightened, and dance a set of halberd methods, but it is actually nothing. ”

Of course, Lu Bu would not tell Sun Ce and Zhao Yun that he got up and danced with the halberd, in fact, because he realized that the halberd method secretly hid some mysteries that had not yet been discovered.

After dancing at night for a while, Lu Bu only understood that this set of halberd techniques could help him recover his strength, and as for the deeper mysteries, he had not yet discovered them.

Sun Ce persuaded him not to practice at the moment, but in fact, he was also thinking about him.

Lu Bu nodded: "Bo Fu is right, I have a sense of proportion." ”

He stood up and said to Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, "You two go to give the order first, and ask the soldiers to return to Dangshan with me." ”

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun agreed and exited Lu Bu's tent.

More than ten steps away from the tent, Sun Ce asked Zhao Yun suspiciously, "Do you feel that Chu Hou seems to be very strange today?" ”

"Chu Hou has always been like this, doesn't Bo Fu know yet?" Zhao Yun said: "I had heard of the name of the Marquis of Chu back then, and there didn't seem to be any rumors in his favor. But after following Chu Hou, he found that it was not at all what the rumors said. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I might have really missed the role of serving under the tent of Chu Hou. ”

"Zilong's feelings are similar to what I thought." Sun Ce replied: "When the army of the Marquis of Chu went south, I still tried to compete with it. In retrospect, it's ridiculous. ”

Zhao Yun just nodded and didn't speak again.

Sun Ce asked him again: "Do you think that after Cao Cao retreats this time, will we be much easier?" ”

"I can't say it, after all, Cao Yuan's two soldiers are divided into five ways to crusade against Xuzhou, but Cao Cao lost all the way, so it shouldn't be that the other four roads will also retreat." Zhao Yun said: "I think there should still be a fight in the back." ”

Sun Ce also deeply agreed with Zhao Yun's statement.

He glanced back at Lu Bu's tent and said to Zhao Yun: "The Marquis of Chu asked us to convey the military order, but I came here to chat, and he knew about it, and he didn't know how to blame him." ”

"That's what Bo Fu said." Zhao Yunying said: "Let's go and do the things that Chu Hou explained first." ”

Lü Bu decided to withdraw to Pengcheng, and after the military order was issued, the soldiers lined up to descend the mountain.

Riding the red rabbit, Lu Bu looked in the direction of Cao's army after descending the mountain.

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, who were following him, also looked there.

The two of them didn't notice anything wrong, and Sun Ce asked, "What is Chu Hou looking at?" ”

Raising his hand in the direction he was looking, Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao came from there this time, and it won't be long before I will lead the soldiers to fight over there." ”

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun glanced at each other.

Zhao Yun said: "Although Cao Cao has withdrawn, Yuan Shao's three troops and the other army and horses of Cao Ren's department have not yet withdrawn......"

"As long as we return to Pengcheng, Cao Ren will be evacuated soon." Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have all retreated, will Yuan Shao still deal with our army alone?" ”

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun were stunned.

Before coming down from the mountain, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun also thought that there would be more battles ahead.

Lu Bu's analysis made them see the possibility that the siege of Xuzhou would be lifted, and the two glanced at each other, and both followed Lu Bu in the direction of Xudu.

The two of them actually looked forward to the day when they would follow Lu Bu to defeat Xu Du earlier.
