The first city that Yuan Tan chose to attack was Laiwu, located in the northeast of Mount Tai.

Laiwu was also originally a big city.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been constant wars in various places, and the good cities have also been dilapidated in the war.

Led the army to the outside of Laiwu City, Yuan Tan set up a position and prepared to attack the city.

At the head of the city, the battle flag of the Xuzhou army fluttered in the wind, but I didn't see a defender preparing for defense.

After the army lined up, Yuan Tan assigned a group of men and horses to set up an ambush secretly, only waiting for Chen Zhi to lead the Bai Wei army to come and relieve the siege.

But until his siege towers and ladders were placed, Chen Zhi still did not lead the army to kill.

Full of doubts, Yuan Tan didn't know whether to attack or not.

He asked Xin Ping and Xin Bi, "Do you think it's strange that since Chen Shuzhi has already followed here, not to mention that there are no defenders in the city, he doesn't seem to have any intention of breaking the siege." ”

"Would you like to take a look at the general?" Xin Ping and Xin Bi didn't expect such a situation to happen, and Xin Bi asked Yuan Tan uncertainly.

Yuan Tan thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Siege the city!" ”

The soldiers of the Yuan army carried the ladder and pushed the siege tower to attack Laiwu.

A strange scene happened again, looking at the city from outside the city, only the Xuzhou battle flag was waving, and there was no trace of the Xuzhou army.

In this situation, it may also be that the Xuzhou army defending the city is hidden.

Perhaps when the Yuan army launched an attack, they would appear to defend themselves against the enemy.

At least Yuan Tan had such thoughts.

However, when Yuan's soldiers launched an attack, Yuan Tan's idea was quickly overturned.

The soldiers successfully set up the ladder on the city wall.

Until they reached the wall, they met no resistance.

The Yuan army who climbed to the head of the city pulled down the battle flag of the Xuzhou army and replaced it with the battle flag of the Yuan family, and it didn't take long for the city gate to be opened, and Yuan Tan captured a completely undefended city.

Leading the army into the city, Yuan Tan walked along the streets.

Not to mention pedestrians on the road, not even a cat or dog appeared.

Laiwu is actually an empty city.

"No wonder Uncle Chen has no intention of rescuing." Yuan Tan's face was very ugly and said to Xin Ping and Xin Bi who were walking beside him: "He simply knows that this city is empty, and there is no difference between rescue and non-rescue. ”

"It seems that Pang Shiyuan has long planned not to defend the city." Xin Ping said: "He threw the empty city to us, aren't you afraid that we will refuse to defend this place, and use it as a foundation to advance step by step?" ”

"Brother is thinking too simply." Simbi replied: "Since it is an empty city, I expect that there is nothing else here but the city, and I don't believe that I can ask the soldiers to rummage around to see if they can find even a single grain of food." ”

Xin Bi's words alerted Yuan Tan, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to rummage through the city.

The soldiers of the Yuan army ran to the nearby rooms, and some simply went to occupy the treasury.

Yuan Tan didn't ask about the details and went directly to the government.

The official mansion is also empty, except for the furniture, there is no way to take it away, and everything that can be taken away has long been emptied by the Xuzhou army.

When he came to the official mansion, Yuan Tan looked around with a cold face.

The new furniture designed by Lu Bu has been sold to other places by merchants, but the price of furniture is very expensive, not as cheap as in Xuzhou.

After seeing these pieces of furniture, and having a few sets at home, Yuan Tan sat down on the chair at the head of the front hall.

Xin Ping, Xin Bi and the generals who followed him in consciously sat down on the chairs on both sides.

"Tell me, what are we fighting this time?" Yuan Tan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and his tone was a little cold: "Since we came to Mount Tai, except for the destruction of one of my generals, we have not fought with the enemy army in a decent way. Capture a city, but it is still an empty city. Not to mention people, not even a dog saw it. What do you think it means to us to take such a city? ”

"The general is angry." Xin Bi replied: "Pang Shiyuan's deployment is nothing more than that he has begun to fear the general. Since he is afraid of the general, it may be much easier to fight in the future. ”

"Will the battle be easy in the future?" Yuan Tan glared at him and said, "Uncle Chen is going to face Cen Bi, but it doesn't make me feel how easy it is to fight with them at all. ”

When it came to the battle in which Cen Bi was killed by Chen Zhi, Yuan Tan's face was extremely bad.

Everyone didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered their heads one by one, showing a guilty look on their faces.

Yuan Tan was about to say something more, when a guard outside the door reported: "General Qiyu, the city has been rummaged, and no food or cloth has been found. ”

The return of the guards had long been expected by Yuan Tan.

He beckoned: "Come inside, let the generals listen carefully, what we found in Laiwu." ”

Ordered to enter the front hall, the guards reported to Yuan Tan again: "General Qiyu, we have searched everywhere, including the treasury, there is no food and cloth in the city. Everything that can be taken away has been taken away. ”

"Did you hear that?" Yuan Tan's gaze swept around everyone's faces and asked them, "Have you heard, you have rummaged everywhere, but you haven't found anything valuable at all?" ”

The generals lowered their heads, Yuan Tan was already angry, and no one wanted to touch his moldy head at this time.

Not all the time, silence can be obfuscated.

At least when Yuan Tan was furious, the silence of the generals did not help them get through this hurdle.

Looking around at the generals present, Yuan Tan asked coldly: "Laiwu doesn't even have a single grain, if the enemy army blocks our retreat, sooner or later we will become trapped beasts in a cage, but I am afraid that one day it will be impossible for even half a living person to return to Qingzhou." ”

Yuan Tan's face was cold, and everyone was swept by his gaze, and they would rush to a piercing chill all over their bodies.

"General." Xin Ping said: "Laiwu is an empty city, and I don't think other places should be the same. ”

"You mean to fight another city?" Yuan Tan asked coldly.

"Since Pang Tong handed over Laiwu to us, what to do with this place, it's not the general who has the final say?" Xin Ping replied: "Since they don't want it, we will set this place on fire." Then go to the next city, I still don't believe it, set fire to the city one after another, Pang Shiyuan can still hold on. ”

Xin Ping's proposal made Yuan Tan's face look a little better.

After a while, he nodded and said, "That's all I can do now." “

He immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the soldiers will be stationed here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." Before you leave, light every house in the city. Since Pang Tong doesn't want this city, I'll fulfill his wish. ”

Yuan Tan gave the order, but the generals were relieved.

As long as his mood improves, everyone sitting here will have a much better life in the future.

******************************************************

Since Yuan Tan entered Mount Tai, he first went to Laiwu and burned the city with a fire, and then turned to the west and rushed to Yingxian.

No matter where Yuan Tan went, Chen Zhi followed closely with Bai Weijun like a shadow.

But every time, Chen Zhi did not take advantage of them to attack the city.

The two sides walked in front and the other in the back, hostile to each other but never friction, maintaining a relative balance.

*************************************************

Lü Bu was stationed in Dangshan, he had already made all the arrangements, and Cao Cao was late to lead the army.

Before coming to Dangshan, the scouts had already reported to Cao Cao that Lu Bu was stationed here.

After entering the boundary of Dangshan Mountain, Cao Cao saw the battle flag of the Xuzhou Army fluttering on a mountain in the distance.

Seeing the fluttering battle flag, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia on the side, "How far is it from there?" What's so special about it compared to other places? ”

Guo Jia looked at the hill with the battle flag of the Xuzhou army fluttering, and said to Cao Cao: "There are still about four or five miles, and I think it should be the only way to Xuzhou." ”

"I really didn't expect Lu Fengxian to have the courage to start a war with me in Yuzhou." Cao Cao laughed: "He is completely different from when he was in the battle of Xiapi, whether it is strength or courage, he has improved a lot compared to the beginning, but it makes me a little more curious about him." ”

"No matter how he improves, compared to the lord, he is still a lot inferior." Guo Jia replied: "He is here to intercept the lord, it is nothing more than that Pengcheng is too close to Yuzhou, if there is a war in Xuzhou, a careless will lead the war to Pengcheng." ”

"Pengcheng is Lu Bu's foundation, and of course he doesn't want to lead the war there." Cao Cao said: "But where he chooses, it doesn't make a difference to us. It's nothing more than the difference between Yuzhou and Xuzhou. ”

Cao Cao laughed, Guo Jia laughed for a while and said to him: "The lord still doesn't despise Lu Bu too much. At the beginning, he only had one Chen Gong under his command, but now he has gathered a lot of talents. Especially Pang Shiyuan, Zhou Gongjin and others, all of them are great talents, and they have to be extremely cautious when dealing with them. ”

"Pang Shiyuan is in Mount Tai at this time, Zhou Gongjin has already sent troops to Yanjin, and Chen Gongtai has been left in Pengcheng." Cao Cao said: "There is only one Zhuge Jin by Lu Bu's side, and ...... by my side"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao first grinned at Guo Jia, and then looked back.

Behind him, followed by a large group of staff and generals.

Among the staff, there are Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.

Any one of them has the ability to go through heaven and earth, and the enemy Lu Bu faced this time is really not ordinarily strong.

Cao Cao led his army into the territory of Dangshan.

Lu Bu, who had been prepared for a long time, got the news and immediately ordered the soldiers to be ready to fight at any time.

On the hill, Lu Bu stood with his waist crossed, and beside him were Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, two fierce generals.

Zhuge Jin did not stay by his side, as the chief of staff, he still had many things to take care of.

Looking into the distance, a banner appeared in Lu Bu's field of vision.

Although it was still far away, he could recognize that it was Cao Cao who was rushing this way.

At the beginning of the Battle of Xiapi, if it weren't for the result of his war that reversed the change of the situation, there would have been no such person as Lu Bu in the world, and there would not have been this force entrenched in Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

History has been changed by him, so simply do something bigger.

If he could kill Cao Cao in this war, he would really write a big deal in the process of changing history!

"That's a lot." Seeing Cao Cao's battle flag, Sun Ce beside Lu Bu burst out.

"It's only going to get less and less." Lu Bu smiled slightly, as if he didn't care at all.

He really said something that no one could argue.

No matter how strong an army is, in the absence of replenishment, it has experienced combat attrition and non-combat attrition, and of course its numbers will be smaller and smaller.

"Did they have to come to the neighborhood to be stationed?" Cao Jun was still advancing this way, and Zhao Yun said: "If you come nearby, it will really create an opportunity for my air force, and I will definitely be able to make them live in peace." ”

"Zilong should still be cautious." Lu Bu said: "The people around Cao Cao are not as easy to deal with as Yuan Shu's side. Especially Guo Jia and Xun You and others, they are not only great talents in strategizing, but even know some strange techniques. It doesn't hurt to be cautious when encountering them on the battlefield. ”

"I wrote down everything Chu Hou said." Zhao Yun nodded: "I will tell the Air Force officers and men to be careful after flying out, and not to be taken down by Cao Cao." ”

Standing on the hill, looking at Cao Cao's army that was rushing here, Lu Bu always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

When he led the army to Dangshan, he had indeed made a plan to win or die.

Cao Cao regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, and once Lu Bu was defeated, he would definitely chase after him.

Jianye is not close to Xuzhou, and it is uncertain whether it can escape there smoothly.

When he sent his family to Jianye, it seemed that Lu Bu had already stayed and retreated, but in fact, only he knew that the way to Jianye was actually impassable.

Facing Cao Cao, he either broke the enemy army, or he was defeated and died.

Looking at Cao Cao's army approaching closer and closer, Lu Bu knew that the day that would decide his fate was finally coming.

Whether or not you can survive and grow is all in the battle of Dangshan.

Lu Bu already had a plan to fight against the water, but Cao Cao didn't feel the pressure at all.

He brought with him 40,000 soldiers of the Tiger Guard, and the generals who accompanied the army also had many fierce generals who were 10,000 enemies.

What can make Cao Cao's confidence swell even more is the think tank around him.

Guo Jia, Xun You and others, no matter which one of them is drawn out, it is not something that Zhuge Jin brought here by Lu Bu can compete with.

The military crushed Lu Bu, the general crushed Lu Bu, and the think tank crushed him, Cao Cao really couldn't find a reason to lose this battle.

Getting closer and closer to the hill where Lu Bu was stationed, Cao Cao stopped his horse and raised his hand to point at the Xuzhou battle flag fluttering on the mountain: "I said that Lu Fengxian is really stupid, if he puts away the battle flag and only ambushes me in the mountains, this battle may still have a few chances of winning." He planted the battle flag so loudly that I could see it from afar, and I don't know how sure he could beat me. ”

"Lord, I heard that Lu Bu has an air force under him." Guo Jia reminded: "He is stationed in the mountains, and the battle flag is fluttering and has no intention of hiding his whereabouts, will he use the air force to deal with us?" ”

"Air Force?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The air force that Feng Xiao said, but it was rumored that it flew over from the city and took Anhui City?" ”

"Exactly." Guo Jia replied: "When I heard about this, I specially asked people to inquire, and the rewards I got were not rumors, but true. ”

Guo Jia confirmed that Lu Bu did use the air force to attack Wancheng, and Cao Cao's face suddenly did not look good.

He asked Guo Jia, "Are Feng Xiao sure that this matter is not false at all?" ”

"Not at all." Guo Jia replied: "Looking at Lu Bu's behavior a few days ago, I always feel that he should have something in his hand that we have never seen before. ”

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked, "What does Fengxiao mean?" ”

"It's better to stay down first." Guo Jia said: "This place is not too close to the mountain where Lu Bu is located, and it is not too far. Even if he had the so-called Air Force, he would not be able to fly here. Even if we do get there, it will take some time, but at least we will have time to respond. ”

"Bonghyo is right." Cao Cao nodded and said to Guo Jia: "Then depending on you, let's stay here first, and wait until we are sure that Lu Bu has the killing weapon you mentioned in his hands, and then make a calculation." ”

The military order was issued, and Cao's army immediately camped in an open space one mile away from the hill where Lü Bu was stationed.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the Cao army camped in the open space, Lu Bu said to Sun Ce and Zhao Yun beside him: "They are afraid of our air force, so they chose to be stationed so far away. ”

"Since you are afraid of the Air Force, let the Air Force give them some good looks." Zhao Yun said: "Tonight, I will lead the air force and put some oil cans into their barracks first. ”

"Don't." Lu Bu rejected Zhao Yun's proposal: "Although staying for more than a mile is not very far for the Air Force, as long as you attack, you can give them some taste." But have you ever thought that Cao Cao chose to camp there, that is, he was already wary of our air force. Once the Air Force takes off, it will be quickly spotted by him. The enemy is prepared, and if we want to inflict a lot of damage on them, it may not be too big. ”

"What does Chu Hou mean ......," Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu.

"Spend it with them first." Lu Bu said: "When they can't hold their breath first, our air force will attack and harass, at that time, the enemy army is troubled, and it is also determined that we have no special killing moves, and the defense of the air force will not be so strict." At that time, the Air Force will be able to put fuel tanks into the tank, and the effect will be much stronger than it is now. ”

Lu Bu had such a plan, although Zhao Yun still wanted to take the air force to give Cao Cao some good looks, he could only endure it for the time being.

They had been mentioning the Air Force, and Sun Ce couldn't help but ask Lu Bu, "Marquis Chu, when will the Relief Soldiers attack?" Although we cannot fly through the sky like the Air Force, it will not be completely useless. I also asked Chu Hou to assign some things for the troublesome soldiers. ”

Lu Bu grinned at him: "The soldiers we brought this time, only the Relief Soldiers are the elite who can compete with the Tiger Guards under Cao Cao. The air force can attack, and you are my blade to break the enemy. Don't be anxious, Bo Fu has more days to go into battle. ”

After getting a promise from Lu Bu's mouth, Sun Ce didn't ask any more.

Sooner or later, there is a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy, and it is useless to ask more at this time.

******************************************

Cao Cao and Lü Bu confronted each other for more than ten days, and neither side made any further moves.

Standing on the edge of the barracks, looking at the hill where Lu Bu was stationed, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was flanked by a group of staff and generals who had come with him.

"Do you think it's weird?" Cao Cao asked his staff: "If Lu Bu really has an air force, why is it delayed?" We are stationed here, and it is a good time for him to use the air force to make trouble. But he didn't do that, what did he want to do? ”

"The lord doesn't need to be in a hurry." Cheng Yu next to him said: "Lu Bu has fought with the main bus several times, and he has never won a single one, and he has long been afraid of the lord, even if he has an air force, how can he use it easily?" ”

Turning his head to look at Cheng Yu, Cao Cao asked, "Is that really the case?" ”

"Of course it is." Cheng Yu replied: "Otherwise, how could he sit on the top of the mountain and not make any moves for a long time?" ”

What Cheng Yu said really made some sense, Cao Cao nodded, but then he asked again: "Lu Bu and I can't just confront each other like this, if so, when will it be the end?" ”

"Lu Bu is stationed on the hillside, and there must not be much grain and grass he can bring." Cheng Yu replied: "The lord might as well surround here for a few days first, and when there is a shortage of food on the mountain, he will definitely find a way to go down the mountain." Once Lu Bu goes down the mountain, it's not that the lord wants to fight how he wants? ”

Cheng Yu's proposal is indeed a solution.

Earlier, Cao Cao had sent scouts to investigate Lü Bu's military situation.

The scouts reported that the military rations that Lu Bu brought with the army should be able to eat for more than a month.

With only a month's worth of military rations, and choosing to confront Cao Cao on the hillside, Lu Bu was simply dying.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Cao Cao instructed everyone: "Pass the order, closely monitor Lu Bu, and as long as he has signs of going down the mountain, report it to me immediately." ”

The crowd took orders.

The scouts sent by Cao Cao before were also veterans who were responsible for investigating military intelligence all year round.

Not only do they know how to evade enemy hunts, but they can also make corresponding judgments about enemy forces in complex environments.

Lu Bu was heavy in the army, and the military rations were only enough to eat for a month, so the scouts observed the number of vehicles and removed some necessary entourage items and ordnance, and finally got the answer.

I have to say that Cao Cao's scouts are indeed extraordinarily strong in judging the enemy's food and grass.

But Cao Cao didn't know that Lu Bu didn't have any worries about grain and grass at all.

It is true that the baggage of the army is not much, and it seems that the food is only enough to eat for more than a month.

However, as long as you take out a small piece of these grains and put them in a bowl, and then soak them in hot water, it will not take a while, and it will be a bowl of hot rice with some soup.

In Lu Bu's army, he only needs to boil some boiling water every day.

The military rations that the soldiers eat every day only account for a very small proportion of the military rations they carry, and they are even negligible.

The first time he ate this kind of military ration, Lu Bu felt that the taste was really good.

However, he also knew that if the taste was the same, it would not be long before the soldiers would be sick to their stomachs.

So at the beginning, he ordered his husband to make actual flavored military rations.

I didn't fill in the two flavors, and I cycled it every few days, and the soldiers would not get tired of eating, and Lu Bu also felt that it would be absolutely no problem to eat like this, and it would be absolutely no problem to support it for a year.

What's more, there are birds and beasts on the mountain, which is really annoying to eat military rations, and you can also let the soldiers hunt some game and come back.

Holding up in the mountains for a year is not a problem at all.

Cao Cao waited for nearly a month according to Cheng Yu's strategy.

Counting Lu Bu's military rations, he should have eaten about the same, but he still didn't mean to lead the soldiers down the mountain.

Since coming to Dangshan, he has been confronting Lu Bu, and Cao Cao is also a little upset.

When he was almost a month old, he would go outside the barracks every day to look at the Lu Bu military flag on the hillside in the distance.

The military flag was still fluttering in the wind, but Lu Bu still had no plans to go down the mountain.

Looking at the flying military flags on the hillside, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu, who had offered him advice earlier, "It seems that the grain and grass in Lu Bu's army should be running out, but why does he still have no plans to go down the mountain?" ”

"Speaking of which, the grain and grass in his army should be almost exhausted, why is there no sign of going down the mountain until now?" Cheng Yu was also confused.

Cheng Yu couldn't say why, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and instructed Xu Chu on the side: "Zhongkang go, Fengxiao and the others are invited." ”

Of course, Xu Chu knew that he was going to invite all the staff, so he agreed, turned around and left.

After a while, Xu Chu led a group of staff to Cao Cao.

Everyone saluted Cao Cao.

Guo Jia asked, "The lord came to us, but because Lu Bu hasn't come down the mountain yet?" ”

Cao Cao asked everyone: "The military rations carried by Lu Bu can only last for a month at most, but he has supported it for a full month, and he has no plans to go down the mountain because of lack of food." Don't you think it's strange that it's so abnormal? ”

Everyone looked at each other, even if they had the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, in the face of such an abnormal phenomenon, there was indeed no reason to explain.

"My lord." Xun You asked: "Will Lu Bu halve the military rations of the generals and soldiers in the army, so that they will not be able to eat enough?" If you do this, you can hold on to the mountains for two months, to say the least. ”

"The military rations are halved, so that the soldiers will not be able to eat enough, and once the war starts, he will definitely be defeated." Cao Cao immediately denied Xun You's statement: "I always think that Lu Bu has learned some kind of magic art, otherwise how could such a strange thing happen?" ”

"It's useless for the lord to think too much here." Guo Jia said: "Why don't you send a force to attack first, and see if their people still have the strength to fight back." If there is no strength to fight back, or if there is not enough strength, it is that Lübuk has deducted military rations. If their men were as brave as ever, there were only two possibilities. One is that Lu Bu has another way to transport grain, and the other is that as the lord said, he knows the demon method and can use the demon method to send food to the soldiers. ”

"Who is the right person to lead the troops?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"Xiahou Yuanrang." Guo Jia replied: "It is very suitable for him to lead the soldiers up the mountain." ”

Guo Jia recommended Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao nodded, and instructed Xu Chu: "Go and invite Xiahou Yuanrang." ”

Xu Chu didn't retreat for a long time, and invited Xiahoudun over.

Coming to Cao Cao, Xiahoudun asked, "Dare to ask what the lord commands?" ”

"We've been here for a month." Cao Cao said: "Before, I and everyone thought that the baggage brought by Lu Bu could only last for a month. Once the grain and grass are exhausted, he will definitely go down the mountain to break through and try to return to Xuzhou. But now, a whole month has passed, and there is no sign of him coming down. I think there is something strange about it, and I called you here because I planned to lead your troops and horses to attack the mountain. Lu Bu is a fierce general today, with your martial arts, I am afraid that you are not his opponent, I only ask you, do you dare to attack the mountain to fight him? ”

"What the lord wants me to do, how can I not dare to do it?" Xiahoudun replied: "Don't say it's just Lu Bu, even if it's the lower realm of the gods, I will go to the mountain to pull him down." ”

"I didn't mean you were going to take him down." Cao Cao shook his head: "I just want you to launch a strong attack, take a look at their soldiers, but they are not strong enough." ”

Cao Cao's explanation made Xiahou Dun feel very surprised.

He was stunned and asked Cao Cao: "Dare to ask my lord, if the enemy's strength is insufficient, what should I do?" ”

"Even if you don't have enough strength, with your numbers, you will definitely not be Lu Bu's opponent." Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Find out the situation, you just need to go down the mountain quickly and report everything to me, it will be a great achievement." ”

I thought that Cao Cao was asking him to knock down the hillside, but he didn't expect that he just wanted him to launch a strong attack on the mountain, and Xiahoudun immediately replied: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely find out the situation and come back and forth." ”

********************************************

After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xiahoudun selected 3,000 men and horses and rushed to the hill where Lü Bu was stationed.

On the hillside, seeing that a group of men and horses were rushing here, Lu Bu smiled and said to Sun Ce and Zhao Yun: "Cao Cao is afraid that he is estimating our grain and grass, thinking that he should have eaten it a long time ago, but seeing that I still refuse to go down the mountain, he deliberately asked people to come to test it." ”

"The one who came seems to be Xiahoudun." Looking at the bottom of the mountain, Sun Ce said to Lu Bu: "Xiahoudun is a fierce general under Cao Cao, it is said that he has the ability to fight against ten thousand enemies, Cao Cao ordered him to come, maybe it is not a temptation." ”

"If it weren't for the temptation, I would never have sent such a small number of people." Lu Bu said: "Since he asked people to come, if there is no response, he will not be able to deal with Cao Cao." You two are guarding on the mountain, and I will lead the annoying soldiers to fight against you. One is to kill and kill Xiahou Dun's sharpness, and the other is to practice the trouble-relieving soldiers. ”

"As the commander of the three armies, how can Chu Hou personally lead the troops to fight?" Sun Ce immediately said: "Although Xiahoudun is a fierce general in the world, when it comes to martial arts, I will not be afraid of him. It's better for Chu Hou to sit on the mountain, and I will meet Xiahou Dun. ”

"Of course I believe in Bo Fu's ability, but it's just that it's not as appropriate for you to go as I am." Lu Bu said: "We have been stationed here for a month, and the soldiers sleep every day in addition to eating. They are already at a loss, and if we don't let them see a landslide victory, even if we win, the morale will not be too high. ”

When Lu Bu said this, Sun Ce didn't know how to respond.

When it comes to martial arts, he and Xiahoudun should only be between the best, it is not easy for him to win against Xiahoudun, and it is not so easy for Xiahoudun to defeat him.

But Lu Bu is different.

Looking at the world, there is really no military general who can compete with Lu Bu on the battlefield so far.

Those ruthless people on the battlefield, no matter who they are, as long as they see Lu Bu, they are definitely not opponents when they fight alone.

Lu Bu rushed down to meet the battle with the annoyance soldiers, Xiahoudun definitely couldn't fight him, the annoyance soldiers and Cao Cao's Tiger Guards thought that the combat strength of the individual soldiers was not far behind, but after all, they had the advantage of fighting from the top of the mountain, especially the total number of annoyance soldiers was 5,000, and the Cao army brought by Xiahoudun seemed to be only more than 3,000 people.

With several decisive factors, it is an indisputable fact that Lu Bu defeated Xiahoudun.

But Sun Ce still felt that something was wrong, and he said to Lu Bu: "I know Chu Hou's ability, and I also know that with Chu Hou's ability, just Xiahou is nothing. However, as I said just now, Chu Hou is the commander of the three armies, if anything happens to you, the soldiers will be finished......"

"If you can't even deal with Xiahoudun, you deserve to have an accident with me." Lu Bu smiled at him and patted his arm lightly: "I understand Bo Fu's thoughts, and I also ask you to believe that with Xiahou Dun, you can't do anything to me at all." This time he faced the enemy army, just to let Cao Cao know that the opponent he faced this time was no longer Lu Bu who was in Xiapi back then. ”

Sun Ce fought for the opportunity to attack, but Lu Bu did not agree.

Zhao Yun next to him said to Lu Bu: "The Marquis of Chu personally led the troops to meet the trouble, I will not object, I just want to ask the Marquis of Chu to remember that the officers and men in the army respect the Marquis of Chu, no matter what, don't be injured by the enemy." Once Chu Hou was injured, it was a big bruise on the morale of the soldiers. ”

"Bo Fu and I don't have as many days as you, so it's okay for him to say such things." Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun with a smile: "Why did even Zilong say such things? ”

"It's not like I want to say something like that." Zhao Yun replied: "It's just that I think it's necessary to explain things clearly when Chu Hou insists on attacking." If there is anything in or out of the words that makes Chu Hou uncomfortable to listen to, please forgive me. ”

"I wrote down what Zilong said." also patted Zhao Yun's arm, Lu Bu said: "You and I haven't known each other for a day or two, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Lu Bu generously asked him to say whatever he wanted, but Zhao Yun didn't know what to say.

He bowed to Lu Bu: "I don't have any extra words, I just ask Chu Hou to cherish them." ”

"Soldiers on the mountain, I will leave it to you." Lu Bu nodded at Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, greeted the trouble-relieving soldiers, and led them to the mountainside. ”

Xiahoudun led 3,000 Cao troops, launched a charge from the foot of the mountain, and ran quickly to the top of the mountain.

And Lu Bu led the soldiers to relieve the trouble, charging from the top of the mountain to the mountainside.

The two sides met a little further down the mountainside.

Looking up at Lu Bu, Xiahoudun roared angrily with his halberd and pounced on him.

Lu Bu also shouted and came to kill Xiahou Dun.

The soldiers who followed the two of them, because they met on the mountainside, they didn't have time to pick up their longbows and shoot arrows at each other, and they were just like them, slamming into the enemy who rushed over.

The soldiers of both sides collided violently with each other on the mountainside.

Lu Bu and Xiahoudun fought together, and it didn't take a few rounds, and Xiahoudun was already a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Lu Bu again, he fought with Xiahoudun for a while, he actually didn't feel the slightest difficulty, and every time he talked about painting halberds, it was Xiahoudun's key point.

barely supported the fight with Lu Bu, and Xiahoudun felt more and more powerless.

In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the soldiers he brought were not much worse than the trouble-relieving soldiers selected by Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce selected the troublesome soldiers, he would also practice every day. But because she is Lu Bu's personal general, most of the drills are done by the lieutenant arranged by him, and only a few times does he have the opportunity to personally train the soldiers.

Due to the fact that the number of drills is not very large, the overall combat effectiveness of the Relief Army is now inferior to that of the White Guard Army and the Trapped Camp.

The trapped camp was taken by Zhou Yu to the Yanjin battlefield, while the Bai Wei army followed Pang Tong to defend against Yuan Tan in Mount Tai.

Those who followed Lu Bu to Dangshan only had an elite army that was barely elite.

It is precisely because the soldiers can only barely be regarded as elite, and the soldiers they and the soldiers led by Xiahoudun are only between them.

The soldiers brought by Xiahoudun attacked from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and they were at a disadvantage in position, but they were not repelled by the troublesome soldiers, but they had been holding on.

Compared with the soldiers who were fighting, Xiahou Dun, who was engaged in the battle with Lu Bu, was not so calm.

No matter where he is, Xiahoudun can be regarded as a fierce general.

But he met Lu Bu.

In front of Lu Bu, no matter how brave the general is, it is absolutely impossible for him to be his opponent.

Lü Bu became more and more courageous the more he fought, and Xiahoudun retreated step by step, gradually being forced to retreat to the soldiers he brought.

In front of him were the soldiers on both sides who were fighting, and Xiahoudun was squeezed into a group of Cao troops, still brandishing his halberd to resist Lu Bu.

Every time he swung his halberd, Xiahoudun felt like he was out of strength.

When he went up the mountain, he was too full of words, but when he encountered Lu Bu in a burst, he knew that this world's number one fierce general was not something he could compete with.

Seeing that Xiahoudun was about to retreat behind the group of Cao troops, Lu Bu's halberd swept out a huge ring.

Swept by the ring he picked out, several Cao soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Jun next to him saw his companion falling, but as if he didn't notice that someone was dying by his side, he continued to resist the onslaught of the relief soldiers.

In order to chase Xiahoudun, Lü Bu rushed into Cao's army.

Some Cao soldiers rushed towards him with weapons, and with a burst of shouts, he danced his halberds like spinning windmills, sweeping all the Cao soldiers who rushed up to the ground.

After a fight with Lu Bu, Xiahoudun knew that it could not be his opponent, and shouted to the soldiers: "Withdraw!" Come down the mountain with me! ”

With his order to retreat, the Cao army in the fight with the troublesome soldiers retreated one after another.

How could the annoying soldiers let them withdraw easily, and they would not fall behind even a step behind.

Cao's army fought and walked, and Lu Bu led the trouble-relieving troops to press forward step by step, seeing that they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Lu Bu found that a group of men and horses appeared in front of him and was rushing towards this side.

Rushing over was a Cao army that responded.

Seeing the Cao army, Lu Bu beckoned to the soldiers and soldiers: "Don't chase it, go back with me!" ”

It wasn't until he gave the order to withdraw that the soldiers stopped and followed him back to the mountain.

After a defeat, Xiahoudun was very embarrassed and retreated to Cao Cao's military camp under the escort of the receiving men.

Cao Cao had been watching the battle situation, and when Xiahou Tang came to him, he asked: "Yuan Rang, how's it?" ”

"Lu Bu is brave, I am indeed not his opponent." Xiahoudun replied: "Fortunately, the morale of the soldiers is high, although the army is defeated, they will not retreat, even if I order to retreat, it is to fight while retreating, so that we can retreat to the forest safely." ”
