Zhao Yun, who left Zhongli with five hundred people, didn't know that Lu Bu and Xun You made a bet for him.

If he failed to stop Lei Shu and Chen Lan from looting supplies, Xun You would no longer provide any support to the army.

If he really managed to intercept 5,000 enemy troops with only 500 men, and also obtained the heads of two people, Xun You would mediate the same amount of ordnance and materials for the army.

Cao Cao was entrenched in Henan and had been committed to the conquest of the Central Plains.

Although Zhao Yun joined Gongsun Zan a few years ago, he was never reused, and his fame was not very great.

Thrown under Lu Bu, he once led people to enter Shouchun blatantly, robbed Ji Ling and Yan Xiang's family members and retreated.

That battle is related to the face of Huainan, and of course it will be hidden in the snow.

As for Xuzhou, no matter how Lu Bu promotes Zhao Yun's ability, there will be a big question mark on Xun You.

After all, promoting Zhao Yun's ability, Lu Bu can get too many benefits!

The two made a bet, but Zhao Yun invisibly carried a lot of responsibility.

Retrieving the heads of Lei Shu and Chen Lan, the army will get more benefits from Xun You.

In case the ordnance, grain and grass were robbed by the enemy, Lü Bu had to lead the soldiers with outdated armor and lack of rations to attack Shouchun.

Two different outcomes determine the life and death of the officers and men of the three armies.

Lu Bu staked the fate of him and the soldiers of the three armies on Zhao Yun.

However, Zhao Yun didn't know at all.

Although Zhao Yun, who had already taken people away, did not know about it, the bet between Lu Bu and Xun You quickly spread in Zhongli City.

Everyone who hears about this has a different opinion.

At nightfall, Lu Bu was about to leave the city wall, and Zhang Liao, who had taken over the night defense, stepped forward.

"Wen Hou." Zhang Liao greeted.

"It's hard work at night." Lu Bu nodded.

He was about to walk away, Zhang Liao said: "I heard that Wen Hou made a bet with Xun Gongda. ”

"That's the thing." Lu Bu looked back and smiled: "What?" Even you know? ”

"It's not just me who knows." Zhang Liao replied: "It has long been spread throughout the army, and even the men have heard about it. ”

"What do the soldiers think?" After looking left and right twice, Lu Bu seemed to be worried that someone was eavesdropping on them: "Do you think I have cheated a lot of benefits from Xun Gongda again?" ”

He used the word "deception" without subtlety, obviously because he had already thought about digging a pit for Xun You to jump before he made a bet.

Zhang Liao also knew that Zhao Yun had killed a back and forth in Shouchun.

But he is not as confident as Lu Bu.

The battlefield is complex and the situation is changing rapidly, even if Zhao Yun bravely crowns the three armies, there is no guarantee that he will only win and not be defeated.

What's more, if he has to retrieve Lei Shu and Chen Lan's heads, Xun You will owe Lu Bu a batch of materials.

"Wen Hou believes in Zilong, I don't think it's wrong." Zhang Liao said: "It's just that the stakes are too big, in case Zilong is a little careless......"

"Zilong is more stable than me, how can he not be cautious?" Lu Bu shook his head with a smile, and then patted Zhang Liao's arm lightly: "If it wasn't him but Wen Yuan, I would dare to use the same bet to win or lose with others!" ”

Zhang Liao was speechless by what he said.

In terms of heart, Lei Shu and Chen Lan are just third-rate generals.

If it weren't for the lack of talent in Huainan, there would not be many opportunities for them to be reused.

Zhang Liao thought to himself, if it was not Zhao Yun who went but him, he would also have eight or nine points of certainty to get back the heads of the two of them.

Although he knew Zhao Yun's ability, he didn't do it himself, and Zhang Liao always felt that it was not safe.

Originally, he was going to say a few more words, but Lu Bu blocked him tightly with one sentence.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to respond: "What Wen Hou said is true!" ”

"I believe in you, and you must believe in me." Lu Bu showed a frank smile at him: "After going through countless tribulations, we have all borne it together, what else can't we bear together?" ”

Lu Bu raised his face and looked at the stars in the night sky: "I believe in Zilong's ability, so I just want to make a bet with someone, I think I will win, but even if I lose, what can I do?" ”

His gaze fell back on Zhang Liao's face, and Lu Bu smiled freely: "If you really lose the bet, it's just some supplies." How Lei Ji and Chen Lan snatched it, I will take you back how to snatch it back. The soldiers follow me, and I will not let them go hungry. It is even more impossible to take them in tattered armor and armed with rusty weapons to kill the enemy. ”

He said that when he got to this situation, Zhang Liao couldn't say anything more.

"It's that I'm thinking too much, Wen Hou forgives the sin!" Zhang Liao bowed down and apologized: "It's not early, Wenhou has worked hard all day, please rest early." ”

Patting his arm lightly again, Lu Bu turned around and descended the city wall.

Looking at his back, Zhang Liao had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he followed Lu Bu back then, he thought that he was the first in the world in martial arts, and he must be cheerful and atmospheric, but Zhang Liao at that time found more and more that Lu Bu's temperament was far from what he imagined.

At that time, Lu Bu was not only stubborn and self-serving, but also difficult to get along with.

There were many generals under his command, but most of them were detached, so much so that Wei Xu and others, whom he reused, defected in the Battle of Xiapi and almost captured him to Cao Cao.

The battle of Xiapi was frustrated again and again, and Zhang Liao was already desperate.

He was almost ready to die.

However, one day, Lu Bu seemed to have suddenly changed his person, and invited Chen Gong, Gao Shun and him to be secret merchants to deal with the rebellion that Wei Xu and others would launch.

It was also from that day that Zhang Liao found that Lu Bu seemed to be a different person.

He is no longer stubborn, he is no longer difficult to get along with, and many times the trust he shows in his subordinate generals even exceeds their self-confidence!

Especially after Lu Bu returned to his youth, he saw the spirit and domineering of a young general.

Following such a lord, even if he dies on the battlefield, this life is worth it!

Lu Bu left the city wall, and Zhang Liao stayed on duty at night.

Zhongli's room in the official mansion.

Xu Huang pouted with contempt: "I think Lu Feng is crazy first, and he dares to make such a bet with Gongda." ”

"Could it be that General Komeito thinks he has lost?" Xun You asked with a smile.

"Five hundred versus five thousand, what if Lu Fengxian goes in person?" Xu Huang said: "If Lei Shu and Chen Lan are unprepared, it's hard to say whether they can succeed. Since they knew that it was Lu Fengxian, how could they not be careful? How easy is it to kill them? ”

"I have a similar opinion to the general." Xun You replied: "But no matter what the result is, in the end, it will be Lu Fengxian who will win the benefits." ”

Xu Huang looked at Xun Yu in confusion.

He didn't understand what benefits Lu Bu could get from losing the bet.

"If he wins the bet, I don't need to tell me the benefits, everyone can see it." Xun You said: "Even if he loses the bet, as long as he personally leads the troops to pursue, the weapons and military rations can still be recovered." Although I lost the benefit to him, he won the determination of his generals to swear allegiance to the death! ”
