Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the officers and soldiers of the Hebei Army to line up in place.

Some Hebei troops took advantage of Cao Cao's withdrawal to clean up the battlefield, and more soldiers were vigilant against Cao Cao from returning again.

What the Hebei army feared did not happen, Cao Cao led the army away, and gradually disappeared from the field of vision of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the soldiers of the Hebei army.

Looking at Cao Jun in the distance, Yan Liang and Wen Chou breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Chou turned his head to look to the side, and saw that the soldiers of the Hebei Army who were cleaning up the battlefield were nearing the end, and he said to Yan Liang: "The soldiers are about to bury all the corpses, should we leave here too?" ”

"Let's go." Yan Liang said: "Go to Xudu and ask Lu Bu what the reason is for refusing to send troops to help." ”

Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the soldiers of the Hebei Army to the direction of Xudu.

When Cao Cao led the army to retreat, the scouts passed the news to Lü Bu.

was still waiting for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to suffer more losses, and Lu Bu was taken aback when he learned that Cao Cao had withdrawn.

Sun Ce, who was standing behind him, also felt that something was wrong, and asked him: "King Chu, Cao Cao suddenly withdrew, Yan Liang and Wen Chou must have led soldiers and horses to Xingshi to ask for guilt, how should I deal with it?" ”

Lu Bu thought for a moment and instructed Sun Ce: "You immediately send an order, select 10,000 soldiers, and follow me out of the city to help the Hebei army." ”

"Is it too late to go out of the city now?" Sun Ce said: "When they fought Cao Cao, we didn't send a single soldier. ”

"They fought with Cao Cao, and we didn't send troops to help, just because the news was blocked, and we didn't get the specific battle situation." Lu Bu explained: "This will send troops, we got the news, so it will be a little late." ”

"When the King of Chu said this, it seems that it does make sense." Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully, and then responded: "I'll go and select the soldiers." ”

"Wait a minute." As soon as he turned around to leave, Lu Bu stopped him again: "Let Zhang Wenyuan and Zhou Tai accompany me out of the city, you stay in the city and sit in the town, although Cao Cao left, I still don't feel at ease." Yan Liang and Wen Chou also have a lot of soldiers and horses, once they are in trouble, if there are no trustworthy people in Xuchang City to guard them, I really don't feel at ease. ”

"Zhou Gongjin and the others are all in the city." Sun Ce replied: "With them, whether it is Yan Liang, Wen Chou or Cao Cao, anyone who dares to attack Xuchang will definitely not have a good end." ”

"Although their abilities are not small, you are the person next to me after all." Lu Bu said: "You are in the city, the soldiers will be more confident, after all, to a certain extent, you can play a role in giving orders on my behalf." ”

"The king of Chu is the support of the soldiers." Sun Ce replied: "It is more suitable for me to go out of the city to greet Yan Liang and Wen Chou." ”

"If Yan Liang and Wen Chou come, they must be to stir up trouble." Lu Bu asked, "Do you think you can deal with both of them at the same time in a conflict with them?" ”

A look of embarrassment appeared on Sun Ce's face: "Although I haven't fought with them, I've heard of their names. Speaking of which, I'm really not too sure. ”

"Since you're out of town, I won't let you go alone." Lu Bu said: "I will also arrange a helper for you, so that you will not be left alone to deal with the two of them." It's just that although Yan Liang and Wen Chou have experienced a battle before, they still have a lot of soldiers and horses, and once they are more serious with you, the 10,000 soldiers you brought are not opponents. ”

"The King of Chu is going, and I'm also worried about these." Sun Ce said: "10,000 soldiers is indeed too few. It's not safe for me to go, and if the king of Chu goes, it will make the soldiers feel at ease. ”

"There's nothing to worry about." Lu Bu replied: "I led the troops out of the city, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou will definitely be jealous when they see that I am going in person." The two of them have a heart to make trouble, as long as I don't show flaws in my speech, they don't dare to make a mistake. If you go, it won't have to be. Once we clash with the Hebei army led by the two of them, Yuan Shao will be able to find an excuse to attack. When it comes to military strength, we are not Yuan Shao's opponents today. Of course, if you can avoid conflict, don't conflict with them. ”

Lu Bu's statement surprised Sun Ce very much.

Looking at Lu Bu in surprise, he asked, "The King of Chu led the army out of the city, and he didn't plan to clash with Yan Liang and Wen Chou?" ”

"Of course not." Lu Bu said: "Hebei is strong, and Cao Cao has not gone far. Once we start a war with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will definitely make trouble behind his back. Yuzhou, which was captured, is likely to be recaptured by Cao Cao. Taking such a big risk and not getting any benefit, do you think I will do this kind of thing? ”

Gently patting Sun Ce's shoulder, Lu Bu said with a smile: "Just rest assured, when I go out of the city this time, not only will I not fight with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but I will also make them leave willingly and return to Hebei." ”

Looking at Lu Bu suspiciously, Sun Ce didn't say anything.

But he didn't quite agree with Lu Bu's statement in his heart.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were besieged by Cao Cao, and Lu Bu watched the fire from the other side and did not plan to help too early.

Cao Cao withdrew in order to give Yan Liang and Wen Chou a chance to come to Xuchang to find some trouble.

The two of them were full of anger and rushed to Xuchang with soldiers and horses, if Lu Bu could stop them halfway and persuade them to go back to Hebei, it would really be incredible.

Although Sun Ce didn't speak, Lu Bu could see that he had doubts on his face.

Patting his arm again, Lu Bu said with a slight smile: "You don't have to have any doubts, I said that you can do it, you just have to watch." ”

"It's not that I don't believe in King Chu, it's just that Yan Liang and Wen Chou came over this time, and it was clear that they were stirring up trouble." Sun Ce said: "There are too few people brought by the King of Chu, and I am worried that Yan Liang and Wen Chou will feel that it is an opportunity." After all, the two of them are Hebei fierce generals, and they both know that once something happens to the king of Chu, Yuan Shao's army will go south, and it will definitely be a long drive, and no one can deal with it. I still think that the King of Chu should not go in person, if it is not appropriate for me to go, Zhou Gongjin and others should also be able to take on the heavy responsibility. ”

"Of course, Gong Jin and the others can take on the heavy responsibility." Lu Bu replied: "But has Bo Fu ever thought that Zhou Gongjin and others are ordinary in martial arts, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all fierce generals, how can they worry about Zhou Gongjin and others?" Only if I go, they will be afraid of my bravery, so they will not attack rashly. Only in this way will it be possible for them to return to Hebei. Yan Liang and Wen Chou returned to Hebei, so that we could get a short period of peace. Fighting one after another is not a wise choice. Recuperation is the most important thing we should do right now. ”

"Don't delay any longer." After explaining, Lu Bu urged Sun Ce: "If it is delayed any longer, once Yan Liang and Wen Chou arrive in Xuchang, I will have nothing to say to deal with them." ”
