Zhang Xun ordered the Huainan Army to retreat.

The front of the army changed into a rear formation, and withdrew in the direction from which it came.

Lu Bu did not lead the army to chase after him.

Zhao Yun came to him, and Lu Bu asked, "How many rounds have Zilong and Chen Shuzhi fought each other?" ”

"To say the least, I also hit four or five lilies." Zhao Yun replied: "Uncle Chen is really capable, I despised him before. If it weren't for Wen Hou with his troops, I would have been dragged by him, and the consequences would have been unimaginable once the enemy launched an attack. ”

"Even Zilong said that he is capable, which shows that he is indeed capable." Zhang Liao next to him said: "When we meet him here, we have to be careful." ”

"I thought it was an opportunity to meet him here." Lu Bu smiled calmly: "In the first battle of Xuzhou, my generals rebelled and died, and there are few people who can use it." If you can win Uncle Chen into the account, wouldn't it be another help? ”

Glancing at each other with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun asked, "Uncle Chen is good at martial arts, how does Wen Hou plan to capture him." ”

"I'll fight him in the next game." Lu Bu didn't explain much.

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi fought four or five lilies, and they didn't know whether they won or lost.

Xun You took Li Dian and Xu Huang back to the tent.

He asked Li Dian: "Zhao Zilong once went to greet Man Cheng, you should know very well what his ability is." ”

"Zhao Zilong is a capable person." Li Dian replied: "Lei Shu and Chen Lan tried to rob our army's supplies, but he only brought five hundred cavalry to break the two of them. By the time I arrived, he had already returned with two heads. ”

Xun You only frowned slightly, but Xu Huang was stunned.

"If it's Komeito, are you sure to kill the two of them?" Xun You looked at Xu Huang.

"It's not difficult to kill the two of them, but the difficult thing is that the enemy is outnumbered and I can still take the rank of general in the chaotic army." Xu Huang replied: "And I took two at a time." ”

"Do you think that in terms of ability, who is braver, he or Lu Fengxian?" Xun You asked again.

"Of course it's Lu Fengxian." Li Dian didn't even think about it: "Lei Shu and Chen Lan are just the last, it's not difficult to kill them." And Lu Fengxian entered Shouchun and killed Yuan Shu in front of the Huainan army. ”

"Uncle Chen can fight with Zhao Yun for four or five lilies without winning or losing, which shows that this person's ability is not small." Xun You said: "Lu Fengxian already has Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under him, and now there is another Zhao Zilong. If he is allowed to get Uncle Chen again, it will be difficult to control it in the future. ”

"I don't understand, the lord knows that Lu Fengxian is not sincere in his service, how can he still give him a way to live?" Xu Huang said: "While he is not yet strong, it is better to destroy him." ”

"How can the lord not know that Lu Fengxian is not comfortable under people?" Xun You replied: "It's just that I want to borrow his hand to take Huainan." ”

"After taking Huainan, are we ......?" asked Li Dian tentatively.

"We'll talk about it then." Xun You didn't plan to continue the topic, and said to the two of them: "Even if you can't destroy Lu Fengxian, at least you can't watch him sit big." ”

Xun You and the others discussed pulling Lu Bu's ladder behind their backs, and Zhang Xun, who led the army to leave, had a very bad face all the way.

Five or six miles away from the battlefield, Zhang Xun ordered to be stationed.

The soldiers set up a tent for the march, and he asked Chen to be invited.

When Chen arrived, Zhang Xun asked, "Doesn't General Chen think he should give me an explanation?" ”

"Even if the general doesn't ask, I'm going to give an explanation." Chen Zhi replied: "The general also saw just now that I was fighting with Zhao Zilong, and Lu Fengxian had already led the army here. If the general had ordered the whole army to attack earlier, I am afraid that our army would have been trapped in it and would not be able to get out. ”

"You and Zhao Zilong fought for four or five hundred rounds, and there was more than an hour in between." Zhang Xun frowned: "Our army is far outnumbered by the enemy, isn't it enough to defeat them?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head: "Although the number of enemy troops is small, the fighting spirit is rising. The two armies fought, and it was impossible to tell the winner without half a day. Once Lu Fengxian arrives, it is impossible for us to leave. ”

After Chen Zhi's explanation, Zhang Xun calmed down again.

He frowned and was silent for a moment before asking Chen Dao, "What does General Chen think will happen next?" ”

"Stabilize the line of defense and confront the enemy for a long time." Chen Zhi replied: "Huainan is our territory, although Lu Fengxian is brave, but he has no foundation here after all. We don't have to delay for too long, as long as it drags on for a year and a half, and when the weather is cold, he has to leave if he doesn't go! ”

Zhang Xun nodded thoughtfully.

What Chen Zhi said does make sense.

Huainan is their territory, and although Lu Bu occupies Zhongli, he has no foundation here after all.

The weather is getting cooler, firstly, it is difficult to transport winter clothes, and secondly, it is difficult to raise grain and grass.

There are no winter clothes, no grain and grass, and once the Huainan army launches an attack after winter, Lu Bu can only retreat step by step, and it is not difficult to drive them back to Xuzhou.

Zhang Xun is not worried about the winter, but whether they can survive until the winter.

After all, it was still summer, and after fighting Lu Bu several times, Zhang Xun didn't think they would survive the long months.

Although he persuaded Zhang Xun, Chen Zhi had a very strong feeling.

Zhang Xun no longer trusts him, and in the future battle, as long as he is slightly negligent, it is likely that he will end up with the truth.

After retiring, Chen Zhi walked out of the barracks alone.

Four or five miles away from Lu Bu, there was no trace of the enemy's army standing outside the barracks.

But Zhang Xun knew that in the direction he was looking, 20,000 enemy troops were intensively preparing for an attack.

Even Zhao Yun can't easily take it, if he meets Lu Bu, let alone the odds, it is not easy for him to retreat.

The Huainan army was stationed, and Zhang Xun specially arranged many sentry posts to guard against Lu Bu's surprise attack.

After Lu Bu was stationed, he returned to Shuai Tent with Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, and was also discussing how to break the enemy.

"The scout just reported that Zhang Xun was stationed five or six miles away, and there was a great situation of confrontation with our army, what do you two think?" He asked Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao replied: "Huainan is the foundation of Yuan Highway after all, although he is dead, the foundation is there. Once the enemy army is allowed to consolidate the defensive line, in the winter, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to transport winter clothes and grain and grass, and the soldiers will be starved to death even if they do not freeze to death. ”

"So we only have a month or two." Lu Bu nodded: "Delay is beneficial to them, and quick battle is beneficial to our army." If it weren't for Chen Shuzhi's sudden appearance, it would not be difficult to defeat the Huainan army. But when he came, this battle was not so easy to fight. ”

"How about the three ways of dividing the soldiers?" Zhao Yun said: "Wen Hou and I each lead an army and attack in three ways, maybe we have a chance of winning. ”

Lu Bu shook his head: "The division of troops into three routes is the backbone of self-weakness, as long as the enemy army is stable in one place, it will be difficult for our army to make achievements." The best way is to advance on all fronts, so as to completely destroy the will of the enemy. Without the will to fight and the faith, let alone only 20,000 or 30,000 people, even if we have an army of millions, they are just targets for us to kill. ”
