The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the cavalry on both wings was entangled by the cavalry sent by Xu Chu, and they could not break through it after repeated attacks, but because of the active performance of Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Zhang Fei, Cheng Lian and Hao Meng's casualties were not light. Although the cavalry led by Lu Bu personally had the upper hand, Xu Chu's mid-lane infantry formation still had the strength to fight again, and if it was to be broken, it would have to pay the price of most of the elite if it was not good.

It was difficult for Lü Bu to break through Xu Chu's array, and Xu Chu was even more powerless to launch a counterattack, so when Xu Chu Mingjin gathered the remnants, Lü Bu tacitly ordered to stop the attack.

The battle ended, the two armies retreated, the sunset gradually sank in the west, and the afterglow fell on the battlefield, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and came to the middle of the two armies.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chu came out.

Dian Wei said colorlessly: "Lord, let Wei go with you!" He had just fought with Lu Bu, and he knew that Lu Bu was extremely powerful, so he was afraid that Xu Chu would lose.

Guan Yu also gently pinched the horse's belly, and looked at Xu Chu with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Xu Chu shook his head and said with a smile: "No need. ”

drove forward, and when he was ten steps away from Lu Bu, Xu Chu reined in his horse, looked at each other with a smile, and said: "Lu Bu among the people, the red rabbit among the horses, General Lu is so majestic!" ”

Lu Bu chewed Xu Chu's sentence 'Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses', and laughed twice with great affection, but seeing that Xu Chu intended to keep a distance from him, his heart inevitably filled with a little contempt, and said loudly: "I have heard the name of 'Yuzhou Tiger' for a long time, but today I fought against the general, one did not see the general take the lead, and the other is that the prince and the prince are deliberately far away from Bu, is it in vain?" ”

In the face of Lu Bu's ridicule, Xu Chu didn't care at all.

When he first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, in order to pull up his own team, Xu Chu often took the lead, not afraid of danger, and impressed those light chivalrous sons with his own bravery. But when he got to know more and more about the land under his feet and sat higher and higher, he had to give up the idea of becoming a fierce general who charged into battle, put aside the matter of martial arts for the time being, and put more energy into recruiting talents, which led to today's climate.

He is not Sun Jian, nor Cao Cao, nor Yuan Shao. He didn't have a huge family backing up, and he didn't even have Liu Bei's 'Queen of Zhongshan Jingwang' skin, since he had already chosen his own path, how could he spend most of his time on martial arts.

And this time's opponent Lu Bu, others may not know Lu Bu's strength before the fight, how could Xu Chu not know? Now that you know, you are still the first to take the lead, and rush over to fight Lu Bu alone, isn't that looking for death?

There may be a day, but not today.

So Xu Chu replied without yin or yang: "General Lu's martial arts are superb, and he is really a 'hundred enemies', but he feels that in the troubled times, he should learn from the 'ten thousand enemies', not the 'hundred enemies', what does the general think?" ”

The corners of Lu Bu's eyes jumped, and he sneered in his heart: This Xu family is the same martial artist as a certain person, and a certain person politely called him a 'prince', but he didn't expect to be so ignorant. He snorted coldly and said, "Does the prince think that the cavalry led by Bu is not very good?" In that case, you and I will go back to the various departments together and fight again! ”

Xu Chu smiled: "General, don't worry. ”

Lu Bu ran, "Scared? ”

Xu Chu shook his head and said: "No, please think carefully, today's battle situation, the elite of the general's department and the state are indeed the elite soldiers in the world, and the army below seems to be stronger than the general imagined, right?" ”

Lu Bu listened and nodded secretly. Xu Chu's combat effectiveness, as he said, far exceeded his expectations, so he compared Gao Shun's trapped camp, the soldiers in the trapped camp were originally cavalry, and the foot combat was also very powerful, and when Cao Cao confronted, Cao Cao's infantry was broken by Gao Shun, on the other hand, Xu Chu, in the face of his own cavalry impact, but he could still firmly stabilize the phalanx, which was not easy. Those tiger warriors who wore iron armor and held long knives in their hands did leave a deep impression on themselves.

Of course, there are also about Yu and Dian Wei.

"Under the prince's account, there are indeed generals who dare to fight and soldiers who dare to die, but what does the prince want to say?"

"What I want to say is, has General Lu noticed that my soldiers and horses seem to be a little low?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he was shocked.

I heard Xu Chu continue: "If all the people in my department are here, let me ask General Lu, can your Bingzhou Iron Cavalry still be fully sure of victory?" ”

Lu Bu hesitated.

"Don't hide it from General Lu, Cao Mengde is rushing to the direction of Dagu Pass with the rest of the foot soldiers at this time."

"Huh?!" Lu Bu was shocked, and after a moment, a trace of joy flashed on his face unnaturally.

Lu Bu's expression changed, and he couldn't escape Xu Chu's eyes. Xu Chu said with a smile: "General Lu, you and I are our own masters, I will follow Yuan Benchu to raise troops to rebel, and you will follow Hu Wencai out of the customs to meet the attack, it is not a problem." However, has the general ever thought that you, I, are all heroes in the world, will we always be willing to live under others? ”

Lu Bu smiled heroically and said, "The prince is also wonderful." After a pause, he said: "The prince said that Cao Mengde led the troops to the direction of Dagu Pass, how does Bu know whether what the prince said is true or false?" ”

"Whether it's true or not, General Yu is fine."

There are only so many cavalry under Xu Chu and Cao Cao, and Lu Bu knows it. Without cavalry, it was obviously unrealistic for the remaining foot soldiers to encircle and annihilate Lu Bu in the plain terrain, and Lu Bu only had to break through in a certain direction with all his strength, and he could easily get out.

Lu Bu was thinking at this time: Hu Zhen Liangzhou has always been contemptuous of me, and I am not a son of Zhouzhou, how can I fight to the death for him!

Immediately took a deep look at Xu Chu, and without saying anything else, he rode back to the army.

Seeing this, Xu Chu fell with a big stone in his heart.

......

Xu Chu returned to the formation, and all the generals asked what they had discussed. Xu Chu didn't say anything, but just ordered the army to slowly retreat back to the camp, leaving only a light cavalry to monitor the situation.

Li Cheng said strangely: "Withdraw the army and return to the camp? Junhou, in case Lu Bu attacks at this time, I won't wait for ......" As he spoke, he saw that most of Lu Bu's cavalry on the opposite side had also returned to the camp, and Li Cheng couldn't help but shut his mouth.

......

Back in the camp tent, the generals in Lu Bu's army were also extremely puzzled, and they all cast inquiring glances at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu threw Fang Tian's halberd on the ground, and said hatefully: "Hu Zhen deceived me too much!" ”

The generals are even more strange, why did they get involved with Hu Zhen again? Continue to listen to Lu Bu say: "After we received the news of Bao Xin's defeat in Yique Pass, do you remember what Hu Zhen said? ”

Wei continued: "Remember. General Hu said: "Sun Jian's fierce eagle is more difficult to deal with than Xu Chu, my army has many soldiers, so I will go to the aid of Dagu Pass, and you have few soldiers, so you can block Xu Chu and Cao Cao between the two passes, in case the two of them go to save Sun Jian." ’”

Lu Bu sneered again and again, and said, "In today's battle, who would dare to say that Xu Chu is inferior to Sun Jian?" It must be Hu Zhen who deceived us and other people who are not familiar with the Central Plains, deliberately concealed the military situation, and induced our troops to lose their troops and generals! ”

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals who were thoughtful had already heard what Lu Bu meant.

Before the army was dispatched that day, Hu Zhen did say that 'Sun Jian is more difficult to fight than Xu Chu', but Lu Bu himself took the initiative to ask Xu Chu to fight at that time, how could he rely on Hu Zhen? I can't say it, Lu Bu is making excuses to preserve his strength. And all the people in the account are not blind, Hu Zhen really doesn't treat them from Bingzhou very much, when he was in Luoyang, there are often rumors that Hu Zhen talked to people about Lu Bu and other generals in Bingzhou many times, and he shouted "Hu Man" one by one, and he did not shy away from it at all. Especially after Dong Zhuo recognized Lu Bu as his 'righteous son', Hu Zhen's attitude towards Lu Bu became even more cold, and when he met him, he didn't say a word.

The contradiction between Lu Bu and Hu Zhen has long been a well-known thing in Dong Zhuo's camp.
