Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were speculating about Xun You's plans, and Xun You also walked out of the tent.

The two glanced at each other and stepped forward to meet Xun You.

"Gongda!" The two of them arched their hands to Xun You, and Xiahoudun asked: "Just now I said that Lu Bu didn't plan to attack Zhecheng, in case he didn't plan to do so, we didn't do anything, he came to Zhecheng outside the city, how should we deal with it then?" ”

"There are a lot of defenders in Zhecheng." Xun You replied: "Lu Bu really came here, we just have to stick to the city, and it is impossible for him to break the city in a day or two." ”

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were the Lumen Pavilion that were lost in one day.

Xun You was unintentional when he said this, but in the ears of the two of them, the words were very harsh.

Very embarrassed hehehe, Cao Ren said: "We also know that Zhecheng can't be as ...... as Lumenting."

"Don't think too much about it, two generals." Xun You also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said to the two of them: "I mean that the defenders of Zhecheng are enough to deal with Lu Bu's attack, if he really attacks Zhecheng, as long as we hold here for a month or two, the morale of the army brought by Lu Bu will definitely be frustrated." Once his morale is frustrated, it will not be so easy for him to make up for it. ”

"So Gongda thinks he'll bypass Zhecheng?" Cao Ren asked Xun You.

"Yes." Xun You replied: "Bypassing Zhecheng is the best time for him to take advantage of the current morale to break through Xu Du. I think he will not only bypass Zhecheng, but also all the defensive deployments of the lord in the back. ”

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun both frowned.

The two glanced at each other, and Xiahoudun asked Xun You, "If he really went directly to Xudu, what should we do?" ”

"Chasing, of course." Xun You replied: "It's just that we can't chase too fast, after all, our numbers are not as good as Lu Bu, and we have to bring crossbows and thunderbolts while pursuing, and the marching speed is of course impossible to reach the extreme." ”

"Gongda has always been a long-term strategy." Cao Ren said: "Of course, Yuan Rang and I both believe in you. ”

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Xun You replied: "As long as the generals can obey my deployment on the way to pursue Lu Bu, don't let him find an opportunity to attack." ”

"Of course." Xun You was Cao Cao's trusted advisor, and of course Cao Ren and Xiahoudun would not argue with him, so they responded in unison.

Lü Bu led his soldiers to camp thirty miles away from Zhecheng, and after the army was stationed, he ordered the soldiers to sleep quickly.

The military order was issued, and although the soldiers were not too sleepy, they all went into the camp tents to sleep.

When night fell quietly, Lu Bu woke up the soldiers again.

Many soldiers did not sleep too peacefully after falling asleep during the day, and they would have just fallen asleep for a long time, and suddenly a military order came to them to get up, and they all got out of the camp tent in confusion.

The soldiers packed up their tents, and the new military order came again, and the whole army bypassed Zhecheng and marched to Xudu from other roads.

After receiving military orders one after another, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army felt as if they had been tricked.

Lu Bu led them to the vicinity of Zhecheng, and almost everyone thought that the next step was to attack the city, but they didn't expect to camp in the field and sleep, and then hurried on.

The army marched towards the road that bypassed Zhecheng, and soon a scout sent news to Lu Bu, saying that the defenders of Zhecheng did not make any moves, as if they did not know that they were coming.

After receiving the scout's return, Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu, "Does Gong Jin think they know that we have come?" ”

"Does Chu Hou think they know?" Zhou Yu did not answer directly, but asked Lu Bu rhetorically.

Lu Bu smiled: "I think they should know." ”

"Since Chu Hou thinks they know, why do they bother to ask me?" Zhou Yu replied: "Wait until early tomorrow morning, they should leave Zhecheng and follow our army." When the time comes, just look at the speed of their march to know whether they have thunderbolts and crossbows with them. ”

"If we had brought a thunderbolt and a crossbow, wouldn't we have gone back and fought them?" Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu again.

"Of course not." Zhou Yu replied: "Whether they bring thunderbolts and crossbows or not, this battle must be fought. If they are not defeated, the army will definitely encounter a lot of trouble when it arrives in Xudu. Chu Hou probably didn't want the soldiers to besiege Xu Du while worrying about being attacked by others behind their backs. ”

Lu Bu nodded: "If that's really the case, it's really a fire." ”

"Don't stop the fire." Zhou Yu replied: "If that is the case, our army will probably suffer at the hands of the enemy. This crusade against Xu Du will most likely be in vain. ”

After staring at Zhou Yu for a while, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin is right, the soldiers followed me to crusade against Cao Cao, of course I can't let them take such a risk." ”

Lü Bu led his soldiers around Zhecheng and advanced, and the next morning, another scout sent news that a Cao army had appeared behind them.

"How fast is Cao's march?" Remembering what Zhou Yu had said at night, Lu Bu asked the scout.

"Return to Chuhou." The scout replied, "They weren't marching very fast. It's about the same as our army, and even slower. ”

Motioning for the scout to retreat, Lu Bu called Zhou Yu to the front.

As soon as Zhou Yu arrived, Lu Bu said, "Just now the scouts came with news that there was a Cao army following us. They weren't marching very fast, they were even slower than ours. ”

"It seems that Cao Jun brought a thunderbolt and a crossbow." After Zhou Yu answered, he asked Lu Bu, "Dare to ask Chu Hou what his plans are?" ”

"The strategy to get around Zhecheng is what you think." Lu Bu said: "How to deal with the Cao army who came up after you, of course, you have to think of a way. ”

"Ignore them and move on." Zhou Yu replied.

"Go on?" Lu Bu asked, "Could it be that we will clean them up again in the next place where the Cao army is deployed?" ”

"Of course not." Zhou Yu replied: "There are still many days away from the next location where the Cao army will be deployed, so let's go forward for two days, and then fight them when there is no reinforcement from the Cao army that is following behind." ”

"We have such a plan, can't Cao Jun see it?" Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu suspiciously, "Does Gong Jin think Cao Jun is too stupid?" ”

"They're not stupid, it's just that Yuzhou is too big." Zhou Yu smiled and said to Lu Bu: "What Chu Hou said just now is exactly what Cao Jun wanted. If we wait until the enemy's next place to be armed, the enemy's two armies will merge, and the number of people who are smaller than ours will become more and more limited. Once you fight, it's not as easy as breaking them one by one. ”

"Fortunately, I brought Gongjin with me on this expedition." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head: "With Gong Jin here, the enemy army can't get any benefits from us." ”

"Chu Hou praised it." Zhou Yu replied: "I just made arrangements in accordance with the deployment of the enemy army. ”

Zhou Yu calculated every step of Cao Jun, and also chose the right time to break the Cao Jun who was following behind, so that Lu Bu felt that this Jiangdong Zhou Lang was really as wise as rumored.

With Zhou Yu's intelligence, Lu Bu couldn't understand why Zhuge Liang could make Zhou Yu angry to death in the Three Kingdoms he had seen?

You don't need to know too much, Lu Bu also knows it, so there will be such a legend, but it's just made up by the author.

However, the author's personal preferences and artistic renderings are always added.

That is, romance stories really can't be taken seriously.

Following behind Lu Bu's army and walking for more than a day, Xun You said to Ban: "General Yu, I think I should let the soldiers stop first, and wait until Lu Bu is far away to follow." ”

"Earlier, Gongda also said that he would follow behind Lu Bu and not be thrown away by him." Yu Ban asked Xun You in surprise: "Why did you say that you want to distance yourself from him at this time?" ”

"It's not that I'm capricious." Xun You pointed around and said to the ban: "The terrain nearby is complicated, and our army has no way to respond before there is no reinforcement, if Lu Bu chooses to fight back in such a place, I am worried that with the strength of an army, I will not be able to resist him." ”

"Since Gongda feels that he should be stationed, then he should be stationed." After Xun You's explanation, although Yu Ban was reluctant, he still made the decision to be stationed on the spot.

The military order was issued, and Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others rushed up.

Seeing Yu Ban, Cao Ren asked, "Why did General Yu order to be stationed?" Lu Bu is in front, don't we chase after it? ”

"It's not that I don't chase." Yu Ban replied: "I told you about the attack just now, the terrain here is complicated, and our army has no strong reinforcements, if the enemy chooses here to counterattack, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it with the strength of our army." ”

"Lu Bu only cares about marching to Xudu, how can he care about us?" Cao Ren said: "I think he will not fight back, but will try to get rid of us." ”

Cao Ren put forward different opinions, Xun You smiled slightly, and asked him: "Dare to ask the general, do you have any plans to get rid of us when you catch up all the way?" ”

Stunned for a moment by Xun You's question, Cao Ren replied: "Gongda is worried that Lu Bu will turn around and kill back, and I can understand it." It's just that once our army is stationed, I am afraid that the distance between us and them will be further apart......"

"All I want is distance." Xun You said: "Even if we follow all the way and follow Lu Bu closely, with such a few people, is it possible that we still want to break Lu Bu?" ”

"We don't really understand what Gongda means." Xiahoudun interjected: "Please also attack clearly." ”

"Lu Bu marched ahead of us, he should have noticed us following long ago." Xun You said: "After following us for a day, he didn't plan to turn back and fight, nor did he try to get rid of us, so it can be seen that he has made plans to destroy us in a specific place." ”

"Camp here, what if he turns around and comes back?" Xiahoudun said: "Lu Bu's army is strong, and we are indeed not his opponents, but just stopping here is not the final solution." ”

"Stay here, once Lu Bu turns back, we can withdraw to Zhecheng as soon as possible." Xun You said: "He is eager to crusade against Xu Du, and he is not willing to chase after us. When he is gone, we move on, and if he doesn't move, we'll wait here. ”

The generals glanced at each other, and Xiahou Yuan asked Yu Ban, "General Yu, what do you think?" ”

"When it comes to marching and arranging, we are not as good as Gongda, and this time we will follow Gongda." Yu Ban finally made a statement.

As the chief general, he agreed with Xun You, and the generals didn't say much, so they responded one after another.

The Cao army led by Yu Ban stopped, and Lu Bu, who was leading the army in front, quickly got the news.

After listening to the scout's report, he asked Zhou Yu, "Cao Jun stopped, and it seems that the plan to take them to the predetermined place to break the plan cannot be achieved. ”

"It is said that Xun You is among the Cao army behind us." Zhou Yu replied: "I guess he saw through our plan, so he ordered to be stationed. If we keep going, they'll follow. If we stop moving, they probably won't move either. If we turn back, they will retreat to Zhecheng again. No matter what we do, they have a way to deal with it. ”

"Chu Hou." Zhou Yu's words were heard by Zhao Yun next to him, and he said to Lu Bu: "I don't think it's completely impossible to deal with them. ”

"Zilong has a way?" Zhao Yun opened his mouth, Lu Bu already knew what he wanted to say, but he still deliberately asked.

"Cao Jun with a crossbow and a thunderbolt." Zhao Yun said: "The speed of their march cannot be too fast, and I feel that if I want to defeat them, I must use cavalry. ”

Cavalry has the advantage of being mobile and fast, and if cavalry is used, it is indeed possible to drag Cao's army.

Lu Bu looked at Zhou Yu: "What does Gong Jin think?" ”

"Cavalry charging is indeed a method." Zhou Yu replied: "But our cavalry is not many, even if we rush forward, it is impossible to destroy the Cao army, and we have to follow the army." The slightest negligence can cause irreparable damage. ”

"Gong Jin is right." Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun: "Although the cavalry under your command is elite, there are not many of them after all. ”

"Cavalry is meant to harass and intercept." Zhao Yun replied: "The Marquis of Chu equipped the cavalry with stirrups, so that the soldiers could attack from the front. As long as the Marquis of Chu allows me to lead the cavalry back, I will definitely be able to hold them back and win the opportunity for the army to encircle and annihilate the enemy. ”

"Or I'll come along." Lu Bu said to Zhou Yu: "Wait until I entangle the enemy army with Zilong, and Gong Jin will lead the army back to kill." Once we surround them, it's not so easy for them to leave. ”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and asked Lu Bu, "Does Chu Hou really plan to do this?" ”

"I really can't think of a better way than that." Lu Bu replied: "There is Zilong and I here, although there are fierce generals in the place, they can't help us." ”

"Now that the Marquis of Chu has made a decision, I have no choice but to act according to the order." Zhou Yu replied: "Don't worry, Marquis Chu, I will definitely not delay the opportunity and put the cavalry in a desperate situation. ”

"There is Lao Gongjin." Lu Bu nodded, and then beckoned Zhao Yun: "Zilong selected the cavalry soldiers and killed them with me!" ”
