Chapter 164: It's not destined to happen
Lu Bu was stationed in Zhongli, and before Chen Zhi was fully started, of course he couldn't leave just then.
The army was still stationed in Zhongli, and Cao Cao, the capital of Xu, also led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Huainan.
Breaking through Shouchun, most of the Huainan war has ended.
The Cao army advanced into the Lujiang River, and the Yuan family in Huainan would be cornered.
Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor back then, which seemed to glorify the Yuan family, but in fact, he and his descendants were all pushed to a desperate situation.
Once the Lujiang River is breached, the Yuan family in Huainan will have no way out.
The family that once claimed to be the emperor, no force can hate to wipe them out and slaughter their seeds, in order to prove their loyalty to the Han family.
followed Cao Cao to Huainan, in addition to generals such as Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, there were also Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
The army entered Huainan and advanced in the direction of Shouchun.
As he was walking, he rode a fast horse to meet him.
On horseback was a cavalryman of the Cao Army.
The cavalry came to Cao Cao: "Qi Cao Gong, Lu Bu is still in Zhongli and has not left." β
"How long has he been attacking Shouchun?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia and the others.
"It's been more than half a month." Guo Jia replied: "He is in Zhongli, it seems that he does not plan to hand over it to the lord. β
"Zhongli is a small city, isn't he afraid of offending me when he gets there?" Cao Cao said: "With Lu Fengxian's current strength, it doesn't seem to be my opponent. β
"He is indeed not the opponent of the lord, but he is not afraid of offending the lord." Guo Jia replied: "Hebei Yuan Shao has broken through Yijing, and Gongsun Zhan has set himself on fire. Recently, there are often horses crossing the river in Hebei, and anyone can see that Yuan Shao has an intention against the lord. Lu Fengxian is not stupid, of course he knows that at this time, the lord will not do anything to him? β
"What does Feng Xiao mean to forbear?" Cao Cao frowned: "Lu Feng is the first wolf, he will definitely pounce when he smells blood." I'm afraid ......."
"Before the battle between the lord and the Yuan family has a result, he will definitely not." Guo Jia said: "Back then, he served the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao was not as tolerant as the lord. As long as the lord gives him a way to live, he knows how to choose. β
"It's not difficult to give him a way to live, doesn't Fengxiao think it's a problem to raise tigers?" Cao Cao was still not at ease.
After the Battle of Xiapi, LΓΌ Bu grew much faster than Cao Cao expected.
The Qingzhou Army, which was not favored by Cao Cao and even hid for many years, fell into the hands of Lu Bu and grew into a strong force that could fight well in a short period of time.
Cao Cao didn't dare to underestimate today's Lu Bu.
"It's much better to have a tiger than two tigers together." Guo Jia said: "It is not overnight to defeat Lu Fengxian, once the lord falls into Xuzhou, the Yuan family in Hebei will definitely come to attack." It's better to settle him down first, and do your best to deal with the threat that may come from the north. broke Yuan Shao in Hebei, and it was not too late to think of breaking Lu Bu. β
"The Qingzhou Army was given to Lu Fengxian by me, the war in Huainan is over, I will go to him to get it back!" Cao Cao was worried that Lu Bu would pose a threat to him, and Xiahoudun said: "I just said that I would lend it to him, and I don't worry that he will not pay it back!" β
Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, and Cao Cao said: "Lu Feng has the ambition of a tiger and a wolf, and he will return it to you when he gets the Qingzhou Army?" Yuan Rang is too much to take for granted! β
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xiahoudun was unconvinced: "If he borrows or doesn't pay it back, how can he trust the world in the future?" β
Guo Jia still didn't speak, and Cao Cao could only smile and shake his head: "Since Yuan Rang wants to go, let's go." β
Cao Cao led his army into Huainan, and LΓΌ Bu got the news and called Chen Zhi and others to the front.
"Cao Cao is here in Huainan, he will definitely let Xiahou come to Zhongli to find me." Lu Bu said: "I have to lead the army to leave as soon as possible." β
"Zhongli is not too stable, and he is not in charge of greetings, so he is afraid that the newly recruited soldiers will be flustered." Chen Zhi said: "They believe in Wen Hou, and I am worried that it will be difficult to control for a while." β
"I still know Uncle Zhi's ability." Lu Bu said: "There are only thousands of soldiers recruited, so you will definitely be able to bring your soldiers and horses well." β
Chen was not reused when he followed Liu Bei.
He had only taken a few dozen guards with him at most.
Thousands of soldiers and horses were handed over to him, and he would be somewhat weak-hearted.
But Lu Bu seemed to have a lot of confidence in him, not only was he not worried that thousands of soldiers and horses would be disabled by him, but he also said categorically that he would definitely be able to bring them well.
Chen Zhi didn't understand where Lu Bu's confidence in him came from.
How could he know that the Lu Wenhou in front of him had a soul in his body that had come from two thousand years later.
Having heard of Bai Weijun and Chen Dao, Lu Bu certainly has full confidence in him.
"I didn't just call you here to leave Zhongli." Lu Bu diverted the topic, and the core of the conversation was still Chen Dao: "Cao Cao has entered Huainan, and Xiahoudun should come in two days at most." I'll leave tonight with the army, don't let the news get out. Once Xiahoudun came, Uncle Zhi just told him that I was out on patrol and would be back in two or three days at most. Three days later, Shuzhi went to see him in person and said that I had sent a messenger to inform him that he had returned to Xuzhou first. β
"If Xiahoudun goes to chase him, should I stop him?" Chen Zhi asked.
"At that time, we all went to Xuzhou, and even if Xiahoudun saw me, I had something to say to him." Lu Bu smiled: "What are you stopping him for?" The Qingzhou Army was borrowed from him, and everyone is a good friend, how can there be any reason to stop it? β
If Chen Gong was here, Lu Bu would definitely immediately understand what his intentions were.
But Chen Zhi and the others are all military generals after all, although they are not dull, after all, they are not strategists who plan the world.
I didn't quite understand Lu Bu's intentions, but the servants still received the military order.
Lu Bu planned to leave Zhongli, and Xiahoudun also took a few guards to prepare to meet him.
Xiahoudun said goodbye to Cao Cao, and Guo Jia personally saw him off.
Accompanying Xiahoudun for five or six miles, Guo Jia said: "Yuan Rang went to Zhongli this time, and it is likely that he will not even see Lu Bu's face. β
"He's in Zhongli, can he fly again?" Xiahou was surprised.
"You go to him, of course he knows what it's for." Guo Jia said: "When the Qingzhou Army is in his hands, he definitely doesn't want to return it, so he will naturally find all kinds of excuses." One of the best excuses is to avoid Yuanrang. β
"How easy is it for him to avoid it?" Xiahoudun said confidently: "Even if he gets into the cracks in the ground, I will definitely find him out." β
Xiahoudun said with confidence, but Guo Jia disagreed.
But he didn't want to hurt Xiahoudun's self-confidence, so he had to arch his hand and say, "Congratulations to Yuan for making this trip go well!" β
"Praise filial piety." Xiahoudun returned the salute, and then turned to leave.
Seeing his back, Guo Jia shook his head.
When the Qingzhou army arrived in the hands of Lu Bu, it was like a piece of meat thrown to a jackal, how could there be any reason to turn back?
Xiahoudun's departure is destined to be impossible to achieve his wishes.
