Chapter 434: I have to go even though I know I will lose

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led the cavalry, lurking in the shadows, watching the movements of Cao's army.

Xiahoudun led 3,000 Cao troops and followed closely behind the Xuzhou army.

Their attention was on the Xuzhou army in front, and they didn't notice that there were tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at them in the field on the side of the road.

Seeing Xiahou Dun pass, Zhao Yun muttered in a low voice: "Watching them walk over, I really want to come forward and kill them." ”

"Xiahoudun only brought three or four thousand people, killing them is too simple and boring." Lu Bu smiled slightly and whispered: "Be patient, Cao Jun's bamboo fence will come later, and it will be fun to fight with them." ”

"That's what Chu Hou said." Looking in the direction they came, Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu, "Chu Hou thinks that Cao Jun will really come over?" ”

"At least I can't think of a reason why they shouldn't come." Lu Bu said: "I think Cao Jun will definitely come. ”

Zhao Yun replied with some uncertainty: "But I don't feel that they may not be able to come." If they really plan to follow our army, why did they only send Xiahoudun a group of men? With that few men, our army only needs to allocate a number of soldiers and horses, and they can be destroyed. ”

"That's right, especially the Annoyance Soldiers and the Trap Camp." Lu Bu replied: "If these two groups of men and horses turn back, even if Xiahoudun brings tens of thousands of people, it will not be enough for them to kill." ”

"That's what I said." Zhao Yun said: "So I don't think Cao Jun may dare to come." ”

"It doesn't matter if they dare to come or not." Lu Bu said: "As long as we wait, the army continues to move forward and ignores Xiahoudun, and the Cao army will definitely not be able to keep up." ”

"You can't stay dormant like this forever." Zhao Yun replied: "I knew that this was the case, I should have let the soldiers learn to lie dormant in the dark for a day or two. ”

"Don't the cavalry have that ability?" Lu Bu asked.

"I really don't know." Zhao Yun replied: "In the past, when I trained soldiers, I always asked them to get on horses and kill the enemy, and I really didn't let them try to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm worried that some people won't be able to stand still for a long time, so they will show their feet. ”

"Leave that alone." Zhao Yun's statement made Lu Bu feel that things were a little wrong, but he still explained Zhao Yun and said: "Since the soldiers are lying dormant here with us, they must know the importance of doing this." Zilong used to practice hard, and I don't think anyone would make such a mistake. ”

That night, the army had passed, and Xiahoudun also led 3,000 Cao troops to follow.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led 10,000 Xuzhou troops to lie dormant in the dark, waiting for the main force of Cao's army to arrive.

But left and right, there was no trace of Cao Jun, they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing that the sun was rising, Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu in a low voice: "Marquis Chu, Cao Jun won't be afraid of us and dare not come, right?" ”

"It's not impossible." Lu Bu said: "But I still feel that Cao Jun will come, and now we are fighting patience with them." Whoever has the better patience will be able to grasp the whole situation. ”

Lu Bu showed full confidence in Cao Jun's coming.

Zhao Yun didn't have much to say, so he could only continue to hibernate.

At the same time, Yu Ban and others led the main force of the Cao army that came out of Zhecheng, and it seemed that they still had no intention of continuing to march.

Xiahoudun had been gone all night, and seeing that half of the day was about to pass, Yu Ban and the others couldn't hold back any longer and came to Xun You's tent.

"Gongda is not there?" Yu Ban asked in the tent.

There was no response at all from inside the tent, and Xun You didn't seem to be there.

"Where is Xun Gong?" Receiving no response, Lu Bu asked the guards guarding outside the tent.

The guard said in surprise: "Xun Gong is in the tent, and we haven't seen him go out." ”

Hearing that Xun You was in the tent, Yu Ban lifted the curtain and walked in with Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren.

Entering the tent, the servants saw that Xun You was sleeping inside.

Xun You slept deeply, but the three generals were annoyed.

The battle was just around the corner, and Lu Bu's Xuzhou army was still advancing in the direction of Xudu, Xun You didn't think about how to follow the enemy army, so he slept here, which made the three generals feel very annoyed.

"Gongda." Cao Ren took two steps forward and called Xun You.

Xun You, who was asleep, woke up suddenly, and he looked at the three generals who entered his tent with a blank face: "Generals, what's the matter?" ”

"Didn't Gongda knowingly ask?" Cao Ren said: "Yuan Rang has already led the soldiers to follow Lu Bu, but we haven't made any moves here. Could it be that Gongda wants Yuan Rang to go to death? ”

"Yuan let the general lead the army, Lu Bu will definitely not do anything to them." Xun You replied: "The three generals can rest assured, just wait for the news." ”

"Since last night, Yuan Rang led the army to set off, and now it has been half a day in a row." Cao Ren asked, I didn't ask anything else, just asked Gongda, when are we leaving? “

"We?" Xun You asked with a blank face: "What are we going to set off?" ”

"Could it be that Gongda wants Yuan to let the lone army advance?" Cao Ren frowned, and said to Xun You: "If the lord knows, I'm afraid he won't agree." ”

"How could the lord know." Xun You said to Cao Ren: "General Yuan Rang only advanced with one army, and the Xuzhou army will not be embarrassed when they see that there are few of them." On the contrary, if we follow closely, we are likely to be counterattacked by the Xuzhou army. Once we are broken by the Xuzhou army, many things will not be easy to do. ”

Frowning, Xiahou Yuan really couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to ask: "My brother only brought three thousand people, and I don't remember when he offended Gongda." If he has any trouble there, I apologize to you on his behalf, and I ask that you send troops to help him avoid being surrounded by the enemy. ”

"General Miaocai, what are you talking about?" Xun You said: "General Yuan Rang and I have never had any holidays. ”

"Since there is no festival, why did Xun Gong let him go deep alone?" Xiahou Yuan said: "You should know that with the little soldiers and horses led by my brother, it is impossible for Lu Bu to be Lu Bu's opponent......

"Even if we all go, we must be Lu Bu's opponents?" Xun You asked rhetorically.

Stunned for a moment by his question, Xiahou Yuan asked with a blue face: "Dare to ask Xun Gong, since we are not Lu Bu's opponents, why do you want my brother to go deep alone?" ”

"Two reasons." Xun You said: "First, it is to let Lu Bu worry about the rear. The second is to grasp the movements of Lu Bu's army at any time. ”

"Although both reasons are in the past, it is inevitable that my brother will only lead 3,000 soldiers to follow Lu Bu, which is inevitably a little unreasonable." Xiahou Yuan said with some annoyance: "If Duke Xun really refuses to let go, I can only lead the soldiers and horses of my headquarters." “

"If General Miaocai goes, he will really push Brother Ling into a desperate situation." Xun You said: "What Lu Bu is waiting for is what is tailing behind General Yuan Rang. If our army follows too closely, they will be immediately ambushed by him. ”

"We are all very impressed by Gongda's strategizing." Yu Ban said: "But please also attack and understand the feelings of the soldiers." The soldiers came here to make Lu Bu look good. Even if we can't go up and fight, at least we can follow behind. But now it's a good thing, not only do we not have a chance to fight, but we don't even have the ability to follow. If this continues, must the soldiers be suffocated to death? ”

"I understand the thoughts of the generals, but our army really can't ......" Xun You also tried to argue with the three generals.

Seeing that he couldn't be convinced, Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

Yu Ban shouted: "Miaocai ......"

But Xiahou Yuan didn't seem to hear it at all, broke open the curtain and walked out.

"Gongda, look at this ......" Seeing Xiahou Yuan go out, Yu Ban looked at Xun Yu with an embarrassed face.

Xun You sighed: "That's it, our army should be broken by Lu Bu." Knowing that I would lose, I could only plan according to the fact that the defeat was not too miserable. ”

Looking at Yu Ban, he ordered: "The general and I will lead three thousand people to follow the palace, don't be too ostentatious all the way, so as not to be discovered by Lu Bu's men." ”

Looking at Cao Ren again, Xun You said, "General Zixiao, the soldiers of the three armies have all been handed over to you." ”

"Gongda can rest assured." Cao Ren immediately said: "As long as I am here, the officers and men of the three armies will definitely not make any mistakes." ”

Although he made such a promise, Xun You couldn't say anything in his heart.

When Yu Ban and Cao Ren also left the tent, he let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "Lord, it's not that I don't want to stop them, it's a pity that I am a military advisor, and the power is not in my hands." The generals have to attack, and I can't do it......"

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun waited for most of the day but did not see any trace of Cao Jun.

Most of Zhao Yun and the cavalry soldiers were a little impatient.

Only Lu Bu was still lying there, as if he had never lost confidence in the enemy's coming.

"Chu Hou, in my opinion, Cao Jun will not come." Zhao Yun said: "It's better for us to catch up with Xiahoudun and destroy him......"

"Here we are." Before Zhao Yun opened his mouth to speak, Lu Bu put his ear to the ground and listened, and said something in a low voice.

Half-believing and following Lu Bu's example, he put his ear to the ground, and Zhao Yun really heard the sound of the earth trembling.

From the sound of the earth trembling, he could tell that there were quite a few people coming this way.

"Quite a few." Hearing the voice, a smile appeared on Zhao Yun's face.

Patting his arm gently, Lu Bu lowered his voice and ordered: "Tell the soldiers that the enemy army is coming, and no one should show their flaws." ”

Zhao Yun nodded and glanced at a soldier beside him.

The soldier then conveyed the order to the people next to him.

In this way, the order was passed down one by one, and gradually spread among the cavalry soldiers, and soon all the soldiers received the order, and quietly hibernated in the field, waiting for the arrival of Cao's army.

Hearing the sound through the trembling of the earth, Cao Jun was still not close to Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.

The soldiers waited for a full stick of incense, and only then did Cao Jun's figure appear in the distance.

The black-pressed Cao army advanced in the direction that the Xuzhou army had walked, and as they got closer and closer, Lu Bu saw that it was actually Cao Ren who led the army.

Seeing Cao Ren, Lu Bu had some doubts in his heart and frowned slightly.

Zhao Yun, who was lying beside him, didn't notice anything, held the spear tightly, and waited for Cao Jun to come, leading the soldiers to rush forward.

Cao Jun was getting closer and closer, and seeing that he was about to enter the ambush circle set up by Lu Bu and others, Cao Ren raised his arm and stopped the march of the army.

The distance between the two sides is already very close, as long as it makes a slightly louder noise, it may be detected by Cao Jun.

Zhao Yun held his breath and stared at Cao Ren vigilantly.

Lu Bu didn't seem to notice Cao Ren at all, and set his eyes farther away.

Sensing that something was not too right, Cao Ren ordered the soldiers to stop.

After waiting for a moment and seeing nothing abnormal, he waved his hand and shouted to General Cao Jun: "Keep going!" ”

Cao Jun continued to advance, and when Cao Ren walked past Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's eyes, Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu nodded, and Zhao Yun immediately jumped up, holding a spear and shouting, "Soldiers, kill me!" ”

Turning over his horse, he was the first to charge at the enemy.

The cavalry soldiers who had been dormant all night and had taken most of the day jumped up from the field with Zhao Yun's order.

They mounted their horses lying in the grass and opened their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at Cao's army.

At the same time as the arrows were fired, the cavalry soldiers also followed Zhao Yun and launched a charge.

Cao Jun, who didn't expect an ambush on the side of the road, suddenly encountered an ambush, and suddenly became a little chaotic.

Zhao Yun carried a spear and was the first to enter Cao's army.

As his spear fluttered, Cao Jun, who was in front of him, fell to the ground one after another.

Tens of thousands of cavalry slaughtered, like a torrent from all directions to the Cao army.

The sound of the collision of horses and people, the exchange of weapons and weapons, the shouts of Cao Jun in panic, and the shouts of the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army are intertwined with each other.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry to rush out, but Lu Bu was the last to get up.

Riding on the red rabbit, he walked unhurriedly to the tail of Cao Jun.

Along the way, he slashed and killed a few Cao Jun who ran past him, and came to the place that blocked Cao Jun's retreat.

However, he did not face the battlefield, but looked at the place where Cao Jun came from with a halberd.

A moment later, another group of men and horses appeared from the direction from which Cao Jun came.

There were not many of them, it seemed that they were no more than three or four thousand.

It was Yu Ban who led this group of people.

Seeing the fight from afar, Yu Ban and Xun You were about to lead the soldiers to rush forward to help, but they saw that one person was blocking their way.

This person was carrying Fang Tian's halberd, tall and hissing, and his hooves were hissing while riding a red rabbit BMW.

It was Lu Bu who was blocking their way.

Seeing Lu Bu, Yu Ban hurriedly stopped the war horse and glanced at Xun Yu next to him very worriedly.

Xun You frowned, looking at Lu Bu, his face was already very ugly.

"Gongda, what should I do?" Yu Ban asked Xun You.

"Is the general sure that he will defeat Lu Bu?" Xun You asked him.

Yu Ban was asked by him and didn't know how to respond.

In the face of Lu Bu, how could he have a chance of winning, Xun You's words really embarrassed him.
