Chen Zhi was captured by Lü Bu, and Zhang Xun led his army to withdraw to Shouchun.

Lu Bu, Chen Dao, and Zhao Yun were talking, and Xun You came up: "Zhang Xun withdrew, why didn't Wen Hou take the opportunity to lead the army to cover up?" ”

"It's better to ask Uncle Zhi than to ask me." Lu Bu looked at Chen Dao.

"It is indeed a wise move that Wen Hou did not send troops to cover up the killing." Chen Zhi replied: "I failed to defeat Zilong the night before, and I discussed with Zhang Xun to send a small number of soldiers and horses to retreat, in case the war is not conducive to the return of the army to Shouchun, I can ambush the pursuers." If Wen Hou ordered to cover up the killing, even if he could catch up with Zhang Xun, the loss would definitely not be small. ”

"I see." Xun You nodded.

When Lu Bu and Chen were fighting, he had already seen that the number of Huainan troops seemed to be less.

With Xun You's ability, it is not difficult to expect that the Huainan Army has secretly made a deployment.

Asking why Lu Bu didn't pursue, he had two purposes.

First, if Lu Bu saw that the Huainan Army had made a deployment, it would be enough to show that he was indeed very different from the past, and when he returned to Xudu in the future, he would have to remind Cao Cao to be more careful.

Second, if Lu Bu didn't see that the Huainan army had made a deployment, he would take the opportunity to urge him to raise troops to chase and kill. Now the Qingzhou army has almost blind trust and reverence for Lu Bu, which is not good for Cao Cao in the long run.

Only by letting the Qingzhou army suffer a big loss can Lu Bu's image in their minds be broken.

Once Lu Bu loses his prestige, he won't have to be wary of him in the future.

However, Lu Bu did not answer, but kicked the ball to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi is also honest, Lu Bu asked him to say, and he really didn't hesitate to tell the reason.

"If Uncle Zhi didn't say it, I really didn't know that the enemy army had an ambush." Lu Bu pretended to be afraid: "It's okay to only care about winning Uncle Zhi's joy, otherwise wouldn't you have filled in the lives of the soldiers of the three armies?" ”

Being so valued by Lu Bu, Chen Zhi was of course very useful in his heart.

Xun You was a little more wary of Lu Bu.

If he directly admitted that he saw that the Huainan army had secretly set up an ambush, Xun You would at most think that he knew more about battlefield planning and observing the situation than before.

But he didn't admit it, but put the reason on Chen Zhi's head.

And the reason he found would actually make Chen Zhi extremely useful.

Chen Dao, who was not very popular under Liu Bei in the past, threw himself in front of Lu Bu's tent, and for his own sake, Lu Bu would ignore the pursuit of the enemy.

What a sublime honor to say?

"General Chen transferred from the Huainan Army to Wenhou, and he should be very familiar with the Shouchun defense, and if he leads the troops to be the vanguard, he will definitely be able to succeed in a battle." Xun You didn't think about how to continue, and Li Dian, who came with him, interjected.

Li Dian mentioned that he should lead the troops to be a pioneer, and Chen Zhi's face suddenly did not look good.

He turned his head to look at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled angrily: "Uncle Zhi is a kind and righteous person, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun reuse him, how can he be willing to do harm?" I have already agreed just now, and the crusade against Huainan invites him to watch the battle from the sidelines, and he does not need to go into battle in person. ”

Li Dian was surprised, and was about to say it again, but Xun You interjected: "Wen Hou still knows how to be considerate, and Wen Hou uses people, I admire it very much." ”

He approached Lu Bu and lowered his voice: "In less than two years, Wen Hou should be able to lead Xuzhou again and become a hero." ”

"How could Xun Gong say such a thing?" Lu Bu made a face: "Cao Gong treats me well, no matter how strong Xuzhou is, I will not turn my back on Cao Gong." According to Xun Gong's intentions, do I have to make trouble with Cao Gong in the future? ”

Lu Bu seemed to be about to turn his face, and Xun You explained with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I just said that Wen Hou has the ability to reach the sky, and sooner or later he can achieve great things." ”

"Why do I think there is something in Xun Gong's words?" Lu Bu smiled slightly, and Zhao Yun frowned and interjected.

"Wen Hou didn't speak, because he was calm in his heart." Xun You replied: "General Zhao said this, but it makes people feel unsafe. ”

Zhao Yun's brows furrowed even tighter, and he still wanted to argue, but Lu Bu made a look.

"Wenhou got General Chen, I can understand the painstaking effort of not letting him lead troops into battle, I just want to ask, when will the army go to crusade against Shouchun?" Xun You asked.

"The soldiers have worked very hard." Lu Bu said: "This is not too far from Shouchun, I will lead the army to the city early tomorrow morning, what does Xun Gong think?" ”

Before speaking, Xun You was ready for Lu Bu to delay.

Lu Bu not only did not delay, but promised to come to Shouchun early the next morning, so that he suddenly didn't know how to respond.

I really couldn't find a topic, and Zhao Yun's face was even worse than just now.

Even Chen Zhi's expression was faintly bored.

Xun You knew that he didn't even think about wooing Chen to the point where he didn't even think about it.

Staying here only increased the embarrassment, Xun You said goodbye: "Don't delay Wen Hou to talk to the generals, I will retire first." ”

Seeing Xun You and the others leave, Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu: "How long does Wen Hou plan to put up with them?" ”

"It's not how long I'm going to endure, it's how long they're going to keep me alive." Lu Bu pouted and smiled: "Could it be that Chengzilong really thinks that Cao Cao will let me sit big?" ”

"Since Xun You and the others went to Pengcheng, they have stumbled Wen Hou everywhere." Zhao Yun said: "As long as Wen Hou gives an order, I will go and fetch Xun You's head now." ”

"Take Xun You's head, and Cao Cao's army will arrive later." Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, and there are only a few of you available next to me. When it comes to strategizing, Cao Cao has Guo Fengxiao, Jia Wenhe, Xun Wenruo and others, and there is only Chen Gongtai by my side. Now is not the time to turn against Cao Cao, at least he doesn't trouble me, and I don't plan to turn against him. ”

Lü Bu led an army to attack Huainan, and Chen Zhi thought that he was purely doing things for Cao Cao.

From the conversation between the two, Chen Zhi noticed that the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao was not as solid as he was.

Among them, it is subtle, perhaps only Lu Bu and the people around him can have a personal experience.

"Uncle Zhi is inconvenient to help me crusade against Huainan, you will stay in the army until Shouchun is defeated." Lu Bu looked at Chen Dao: "After the Shouchun City is broken, I will entrust me with a heavy responsibility!" ”

Lu Bu allowed him not to participate in the attack on Shouchun, and Chen Zhi inevitably felt guilty in his heart.

He said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou is so magnanimous, I can't repay it, and when Huainan is taken, I will definitely double my achievements on the battlefield in the future to atone for my current mistakes." ”

"Righteousness is not a fault." Lu Bu looked ahead: "Before the Battle of Xuzhou, I had reused a few people, and in the face of a strong enemy, they actually wanted to tie me up and give it to Cao Cao. If I had been prepared, I would have been harmed by them. If the people around me at that time were loyal and brave people like Shu Zhi, the situation I faced would still be full of dangers? ”

"Wen Hou treats me like this, I will follow with all my heart!" Chen Zhi replied angrily.

Zhang Xun led his troops to flee back to Shouchun, and Yang Hong hurried out of the city to meet him.
