Chapter 165: Let's talk about it when we enter the city

When Xiahoudun arrived at Zhongli, Lu Bu had already been gone for two days.

After entering the city, it was Chen Zhi who greeted him.

didn't see Lu Bu, he suddenly remembered Guo Jia's reminder: "Dare to ask General Chen, is Marquis Wen in the city?" ”

"It's not a coincidence." Chen Zhi replied with a smile: "Wen Hou went to inspect outside the city. ”

Hearing that Lu Bu was going to inspect outside the city, Xiahoudun breathed a sigh of relief: "How long have you been there?" When will you be back? ”

"It's been two days." Chen Zhi thought for a moment: "Recently, there has been a serious problem of bandits in Huainan, and Wen Hou is also concerned about the safety of the place. If General Xiahou has something, I will send someone to find him. ”

"Thank you, General Chen!" Chen Dao's words were to the point, and Xiahoudun was a lot more relieved.

"The general has come from afar, please go into the city to rest." Chen Zhi invited Xiahoudun into the city.

After entering the city, Xiahoudun found that there were many soldiers in the city.

The soldiers standing along the street held their heads high and were full of energy.

They wore the armor that Cao Cao had transferred earlier, and they held sharp weapons in their hands.

Although Xiahoudun was the commander of the Qingzhou Army, he did not really lead the Qingzhou Army into battle to kill the enemy.

How would he know that the soldiers who stayed in the city were not the Qingzhou Army at all.

The soldiers were all recruited by Lu Bu when they came to Zhongli temporarily.

After just a few days of training, although they could not go into battle to kill the enemy, their posture of standing guard was already presentable.

Passing in front of the soldiers, Xiahoudun didn't notice anything wrong.

Chen Zhi also held the gourd and didn't open the scoop, Xiahou didn't ask, and he didn't mention anything about the soldiers.

When he came to Zhongli, Xiahoudun waited for two or three days, but he never saw Lu Bu come back.

With each additional day he waited, he felt more anxious.

When I asked Chen Dao, the answer I got was that a messenger was sent to find him, and he didn't know where Lu Bu had gone.

By noon on the third day, Xiahoudun finally couldn't sit still.

He was about to go out to find Chen Dao, when the guard came to report: "General Qiyu, General Chen asks to see." ”

Before he went to find Chen, he came, and Xiahoudun hurriedly ordered: "Please General Chen come in and speak." ”

The guards were instructed, and he didn't wait in the room.

Walking out of the room, Xiahoudun saw Chen Zhi walking over accompanied by two guards.

"General Chen......" Xiahoudun greeted.

Chen returned the salute with an anxious face and said, "Why is General Xiahou still here?" ”

"Where else can I be if I'm not here?" Xiahoudun looked dazed.

"Wen Hou sent a messenger back that he had returned to Pengcheng." Chen Zhi said: "Counting the distance, this meeting should enter Xuzhou!" ”

"Since General Chen knows, why didn't he say it earlier?" Xiahou asked Chen Dao with stunned eyes.

Chen Zhi looked aggrieved: "When Wen Hou left, he said that he would return in a few days, how did I know that he was going back to Pengcheng, not Zhongli!" ”

"There are still a lot of soldiers in the city, don't he plan to take them away?" Xiahoudun asked.

"Soldiers?" Chen Zhi asked in surprise, "Why did he take the soldiers away?" ”

"The Qingzhou Army has made great achievements in Huainan, is it possible that he still wants to leave some people here?" Xiahoudun was also surprised and asked rhetorically.

"Where is the Qingzhou Army?" Chen Zhi was even more dazed.

"Is it still the Huainan Army in the city?" Xia Houdun felt that his brain was about to shut down, and with his IQ, he really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Wen Hou came to Zhongli and asked me to recruit some new soldiers." Chen Zhi replied very honestly: "The Qingzhou army is a hundred warriors, and he has taken it back to Xuzhou. Those who remain here are newly recruited soldiers! ”

As soon as he explained this, Xiahoudun only felt confused.

Finished! was really hit by Guo Fengxiao!

Lu Bu probably guessed that he was coming, so he didn't give him a chance to meet at all, and quietly took the Qingzhou army away.

Knowing that Lu Bu was avoiding him, Xiahoudun didn't plan to leave it at that.

Debt collection must have a debt collection look!

Since Lu Bu wants to repay the debt, he has to catch up and ask for an understanding.

At the very least, you have to question him face to face, and ask him speechless!

With a plan in his heart, Xiahoudun beckoned to the guards: "Let's go!" ”

While greeting the guard, he was ready to stop Chen Zhihui.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Zhi not only didn't stop him, but took the initiative to say: "I'll send General Xiahou!" ”

Stunned, he glanced at Chen Zhi, and Xiahoudun replied: "There is General Lao Chen." ”

Chen Zhi sent Xiahoudun out of Zhongli City Gate.

When Xiahou jumped on horseback, he waved his hand and said, "General Xiahou, don't forget to come to Zhongli City to stay for two days when you turn around and pass by here." ”

Xiahoudun's mouth responded, but his head was full of black lines.

Chen Zhi's posture was like sending him out of the city, it was like a villager in the countryside sending off a friend.

Don't forget to say hello when you leave, and ask your friends to be guests at home next time you pass by!

Riding his horse and galloping, Xiahoudun led the guards to the direction of Pengcheng.

Before he came to Zhongli, Lu Bu had already set off for two days.

Counting the three days of delay, five or six days have passed.

Although Xiahoudun chased after Pegasus all the way, he finally caught up with Lu Bu on the outskirts of Pengcheng.

got the news that Xiahoudun had caught up, and Lu Bu seemed very enthusiastic.

He instructed Zhang Liao to lead his troops into the city, and he galloped towards Xiahoudun accompanied by Zhao Yun.

Far away, Lu Bu greeted with a smile on his face: "Why is General Yuan Rang here?" ”

"Wen Hou broke Shouchun, of course I came to congratulate him." Xiahoudun replied, and then said: "Huainan has been taken, is the Qingzhou army ......?"

"The officers and men of the Qingzhou Army are very good." Lu Bu knew what he was going to say, so he quickly cut off the conversation: "Since the first battle in Huainan, the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, and if there is a big war in the future, there is no need to do any mobilization at all. ”

"I'm not talking about the morale of the Qingzhou soldiers, I mean ......" The words were blocked back, and Xiahoudun only felt something in his chest, feeling very uncomfortable.

"It's Pengcheng in front, and I'll talk about other things when I enter the city." Lu Bu interrupted him again: "Yuan let the general be in the dust, and it seems that he has suffered a lot along the way. Although Pengcheng is poor, he can also buy some wine and meat. When the time comes, I'll ask the general to have two drinks! ”

"Wenhou ......" Lu Bu beckoned Xiahoudun into the city, and Xiahoudun was still trying to explain his intention.

Knowing what he was here for, if he could delay for a while, how could Lu Bu give him a chance to speak.

"Yuan Rang is really Cao Gong's humerus." Lu Bu said: "At this time, he is still outside the city, and he won't understand too clearly. You and I might as well go into the city, I'll have a banquet and then talk in detail. ”

He instructed Zhao Yun: "Zilong, the banquet is personally supervised by you, you must choose the best wine, and send more meat." ”

Zhao Yun responded and said to Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, since you have come to Pengcheng and Wenhou is sincerely invited, why don't you wait until you enter the city if the general has something to say?" ”
