Lei Shu and Chen Lan are responsible for counterattacking Lu Bu.

The day after the court meeting, the two of them selected 5,000 soldiers and horses to leave Shouchun.

Lü Bu, who was stationed in Zhongli, soon received the news that the Huainan Army had taken the initiative to attack.

Although he did not think that the 5,000-demoralized Huainan army could cause them too much trouble, Lü Bu still ordered to keep a close eye on the enemy's movements, and personally ascended to the top of the city to prepare for the possible battle.

Shouchun is far away from Zhongli.

Lu Bu waited for a long time and didn't see any trace of Lei Shu and Chen Lan.

Patrolling the city and waiting for the enemy to come, Zhao Yun ran onto the city wall.

"Wen Hou." Zhao Yun came to Lu Bu's side and lowered his voice: "I just got the news that Lei Shu and Chen Lan led the army to leave Shouchun, and did not advance to Zhongli, but led the troops and horses of the headquarters to the direction of the Lujiang River. ”

"They didn't come to Zhongli?" Lu Bu was very surprised.

"Nope." Zhao Yun replied: "It's just pretending to be coming, and it's still far from Zhongli before turning south." ”

Lu Bu only considered that it was impossible for the five thousand Huainan Army to pose any threat to him, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had no intention of coming to crusade at all.

He pouted and shook his head: "Huainan has long been demoralized, and he needs a big victory to boost morale, even if he doesn't win, at least he should come to fight." But the enemy generals who were ordered to engage our army were good, not only did they not fight, but ran away with their soldiers. ”

"I've been to Shouchun, where the defenses are so lax that if our army attacks, they can't resist at all. Now another 5,000 men and horses have gone, and they are even weaker than they were at the beginning. Zhao Yun asked, "Do you want to take this opportunity to ......?"

"How can you fight a war if you don't have ordnance, food, and grass?" Lu Bu smiled at him: "Wait until the soldiers have changed their ordnance, and then attack Huainan is not too late." ”

A few days earlier, Lu Bu's soldiers occupied Zhongli without blood, and the morale of the 20,000 Qingzhou troops was like a rainbow.

And the Huainan army stationed in Shouchun was unintentionally fighting.

Once the two sides go to war, although the number of people is small, there is no suspense at all.

Lu Bu refused to take advantage of the favorable situation to launch an attack, but had to wait for the soldiers to change their weapons and armor before considering attacking Shouchun, Zhao Yun felt a little puzzled.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was suspicious, Lu Bu lowered his voice very low: "If we stay here for one more day, the morale of the Shouchun defenders will be lower." Shou Chun will only get easier and easier to fight, and it will never become difficult because we haven't launched an offensive for a while. ”

Back then, Zhao Yun once served Gongsun Zan and also led troops to the battlefield.

He was very aware of the importance of seizing the fighter plane, and he didn't understand how Lu Bu could make such an argument.

Zhao Yun was still confused, and Lu Bu grinned at him: "Compared to attacking Shouchun, there is a more important thing that Zilong has to do." ”

"I beg Wen Hou to give the order." Zhao Yun responded.

"Lei Ji and Chen Lan left Shouchun but didn't rush to Zhongli, which shows that they are planning to start another mountain." Lu Bu said: "For them, what they need most now is ordnance and food and grass. ”

"Wen Hou means ......," Zhao Yun was stunned.

"It's impossible for them to return to Shouchun, let alone come to Zhongli, if they want to get more ordnance, food and grass, what other way?" Lu Bu didn't explain it directly, but just put forward a hypothesis.

Zhao Yun suddenly realized: "Wen Hou means that they will ambush the team that transports grain and grass to our army." ”

"When I came to Huainan, not only did Zilong want to fight, but I also wanted to." Lu Bu looked at the distant direction outside the city: "Fighting is like carving, and every decision is to carve a new knife into the statue." If the strength is a little worse, it is likely to destroy a statue. If the carver makes a mistake, it is nothing more than destroying a piece of stone or wood. And if we make a mistake, we will ruin the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, how can we tolerate the slightest mistake? ”

"I see." Zhao Yun had already had an epiphany: "I'm going to meet the ordnance." ”

"How many centaurs does Zilong want?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhao Yun almost didn't think about it: "Five hundred people are enough." ”

"Five hundred?" This time it was Lu Bu's turn to be surprised: "Although Lei Shu and Chen Lan's martial arts are ordinary, they have brought 5,000 men and horses. ”

"There are only 5,000 people, and in my eyes they are just chickens and dogs." Zhao Yun smiled confidently: "As long as Wen Hou allows me to make a decision on the spot, even if I can't cut off the heads of the two people, I can make them lose their courage, and they don't dare to go against Wen Hou from now on!" ”

Zhao Yun was very confident, and Lu Bu knew that he must have a plan.

"Since Zilong said so, I will give you five hundred people." Lu Bu said: "But you have to remember that if anything happens, you must withdraw immediately. I'd rather throw away my ordnance, food, and grass than get hurt in the slightest. ”

"Wen Hou rest assured, with Lei Shu and Chen Lan, they can't hurt me." Zhao Yun replied without humility.

Zhao Yun was assigned a task, and Lu Bu continued to look out of the city.

Zhao Yun went down the city wall, and it didn't take long for a team of five hundred people to leave the city.

The scouts have sent back the news that the Huainan army led by Lei Shu and Chen Lan has 5,000 people.

Zhao Yun was followed to meet the ordnance, but there were only 500 people.

The number of people suffered a lot, but Lu Bu was not worried about Zhao Yun at all.

"Wen Hou." He was watching the team out of the city go away, and Xun You came behind him.

"Xun Gong." Lu Bu looked at Xun You: "Why did you think of going to the city wall?" ”

"It is said that General Zhao gathered five hundred men and horses out of the city, and I don't know what he was going to do, so he specially came to ask Wen Hou." Xun You did not beat around the bush, but asked directly.

Lei Ji and Chen Lan didn't come to Zhongli. Lu Bu replied: "I thought that they should be planning to stand on their own, so I ordered Zilong to lead the troops to meet the weapons and rations. ”

"Is Wen Hou worried that they will fight the ordnance?" Xun Yu asked again.

"Lei Shu and Chen Lan turned their backs on Shouchun, and they will definitely not be able to go back. Our army is stationed in Zhongli again, and they will surely die if they come here. Lu Bu said: "To stand on the mountain, you not only need men and horses, but also need more armaments, grain and grass. If I were them, I would definitely choose to start with the soldiers who don't have too many people. ”

"I have the same opinion as Wen Hou, but General Zhao only led five hundred people to meet the ordnance, isn't it too child's play?" Xun You said: "Lei Shu and Chen Lan have an army of 5,000 under their command! ”

"I'm really worried if someone else goes." Lu Bu replied very confidently: "But it's Zilong, not to mention giving him five hundred people, even if he only brings fifty people, the heads of those two people are equivalent to falling into his hands." ”

Although Zhao Yun had followed Gongsun Zhan, he did not have much fame at this time.

Lu Bu had such confidence in a military general who was not too famous, Xun You really didn't understand where his confidence came from.

"Why don't we make a bet." Seeing that Xun You didn't believe it, Lu Bu said: "If Zilong can keep the ordnance, grain and grass, Xun Gong will send me so many more." If he can't keep it, I'm willing to give it back a lot of food! ”
