Sun Ce took Zhang Zhao's suggestion and led the army to retreat to Wancheng.

In order to stop the rumors in the army, Zhang Zhao arrested many soldiers who spread rumors.

These men were beheaded on their way out.

Their bodies were not buried by their companions, but were thrown directly on the road and dragged away by wild beasts.

Lu Bu led the army to arrive, and the beast had already gnawed the corpse of the Jiangdong army that was killed by Zhang Zhao.

"Sun Ce actually ran away." Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, "He gave me a problem. ”

"It's a good thing that he ran away, why did he give Wen Hou a problem?" Chen Zhi asked.

Neither he nor Zhao Yun understood why Lu Bu looked lost when Sun Ce withdrew his troops.

"Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, and he also has some skills." Lu Bu said: "When he returns to Jiangdong, across the Yangtze River, it will not be easy for us to defeat him." ”

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi thought that Lu Bu would lead the army to pursue, but he gave an order: "Pass the order, and the three armies will turn around and return to Shouchun!" ”

Since encountering Sun Ce, Lu Bu has not advanced much.

They are even far from Hefei.

Sun Ce retreated, and Lü Bu not only did not intend to pursue, but also ordered to return to Shouchun.

Zhao Yun asked: "Our army has won two games in a row, doesn't Wen Hou plan to take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

"Since Sun Bofu is leaving, how can he not leave an ambush on the road?" Lu Bu said: "Instead of dealing with him, it is better for us to return to Shouchun and solve Zhou Yu first." Zhou Yu has a lot of troops and horses, and although Wen Yuan occupies Shouchun, he may not be able to hold it. To conquer the world, of course, we must take it step by step, and we must not be greedy for merit. ”

After his explanation, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun couldn't say anything more.

The army did not pursue Sun Ce, but chose to return to Shouchun.

Sun Ce did leave a lot of eyeliner.

Knowing that Lu Bu returned to the army for Shouchun, Sun Ce screamed badly!

Zhang Zhao next to him asked, "What's wrong with the general?" ”

"Just about withdrawing the troops, we have neglected Gongjin." Sun Ce said: "Gongjin stays in Shouchun, once Lu Bu goes back, how can he leave safely?" ”

"Gong Jin has always been good at using soldiers, not to mention that he has brought a lot of soldiers and horses, and Zhou Tai is by his side." Zhang Zhao said: "Rest assured, generals, they will definitely retreat." ”

Although Zhang Zhao's analysis has some truth, Sun Ce is still not at ease.

He looked back in the direction of Shouchun, still with an indelible worry on his face.

Sun Ce withdrew his troops, and Zhou Yu, who led his troops to confront Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan near Shouchun, also got the news.

Commander's tent in the army.

The two men sat facing each other.

At the top of the table was a young man in his early twenties.

The young man has a fair complexion and a handsome appearance, and he only needs to smile slightly to reveal a handsome demeanor.

He is the Jiangdong Zhou Lang Zhou Yu that Sun Ce relied on!

And sitting opposite Zhou Yu was a burly general with dark skin.

Because he was too burly, the general sat there and seemed to occupy more land than the others.

The general sitting opposite Zhou Yu was none other than Jiangdong General Zhou Tai.

"As soon as I got the news, Bo Fu encountered Lu Bu and suffered two defeats in a row, and the morale of the three armies was low, so he had to lead the army to retreat to Anhui City." Zhou Yu said to Zhou Tai: "Now that there is only one of us left in Huainan, do you think we should also withdraw?" ”

"Lu Bu is just a reckless man, Bo Fu has Zhang Zibu and others by his side, how can he lose to him?" Zhou Tai asked suspiciously, "Is it that Lu Bu has recently recruited some strange people?" ”

"I really haven't heard of strange people around him." Zhou Yu said: "I heard that Lu Bu today is very different from the past. Bo Fu may have really been defeated at his hands. ”

"I still don't believe that there are no strange people around Lu Bu." Zhou Tai shook his head: "Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan have been able to confront our army for so long, it is entirely because they have Yan Xiang around them to give advice. Just Lu Bu, is it even more powerful than Yan Xiang? ”

"Bo Fu withdraws, Lu Bu is rushing here, we only have two days to break Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan." Zhou Yu sighed: "It's a pity, Shouchun City can't take it this time!" ”

Hearing something from Zhou Yu's words, Zhou Tai asked, "Did Gong Jin think of a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

"If Lu Bu doesn't come, I really can't think of a way to defeat Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan." Zhou Yu instructed: "Let the soldiers prepare some battle flags in Lu Bu's army, whether they can break the two brothers of the Xiahou family, it all depends on these flags!" ”

didn't understand what Zhou Yu was going to do, although Zhou Tai agreed, he was full of confusion.

"Prepare the battle flag, Youping doesn't have to come back to me, just lead the soldiers to raise the flag and wave it." Zhou Yu instructed again: "You are waiting there for Brother Xiahou to throw himself into the net." ”

"After so many days of confrontation, will they be stupid enough to throw themselves into the net?" Zhou Tai obviously didn't believe that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan would fall into the trap by themselves.

"Of course!" Zhou Yu said: "In recent days, although they have confronted our army, they know very well that their men and horses are inferior to our army. Once I attacked, they would not be able to defend against it. Lu Bu led his army to Shouchun, and the news must have reached their ears. is worried that they can't compete with our army, and when they see Lu Bu's banner, how can the brothers care about distinguishing the truth from the fake? It's really strange not to throw yourself into the net. ”

"Gong Jin, don't forget that there is Yan Xiang by their side." Zhou Tai reminded: "Although Yan Xiang is old, he was also relied on by Yuan Shu back then. He should have some skills. ”

"If Yan Xiang is not Lu Bu's person, I really have to watch out for him." Zhou Yu smiled confidently: "Youping may not have thought that he was in the army of the Xiahou brothers, and it was better to say that he was a hostage than a strategist. Brother Xiahou has always been arrogant, how can he obey a person's words? ”

Zhou Tai nodded: "When Gong Jin said this, I seem to understand a little." ”

Lu Bu led his army to Shouchun, and of course the news reached the ears of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

After confronting Zhou Yu for some days, the brothers couldn't fight, and they couldn't withdraw.

What makes them even more uneasy is that since they came here, Shouchun's news seems to have been completely closed.

I don't know how Shouchun is, and there is no way to retreat from the enemy, but I have to worry about Zhou Yu launching a full-scale attack every day, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan are very upset.

Receiving the news that Lu Bu was coming, the brothers invited Yan Xiang to the front.

Stationed on Mount Bagong, their tent was leaking everywhere.

Fortunately, it is not winter yet, and the weather is not too cold, except for the uncomfortable feeling that the wind is swishing on your face when you sleep at night, but everything else is fine.

Yan Xiang came to the tent of the two brothers: "The two generals called me over, is there anything to explain?" ”

"We've got news that Wen Hou is about to arrive with his army." Xiahoudun said: "Wenhou, who is far away in Yijing, still has news coming, but why doesn't Shouchun even have half of the messengers?" ”
