Chapter Ninety-Seven, the Pursuit Has Arrived

After some careful questioning, Lu Bu knew the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that after Pang De and Xu Rong entered Luoyang City, they sent people to closely monitor the two places where the upper class people in the city, Buguangli and Yongheli, lived, and this time they just found that there were people in and out of Cai Yong's mansion, which naturally referred to Lu Bu and his party, and I don't know why, but this was listed as important news by them, and they sent someone to inform Pang De.

The reason why the spy team in the city was able to learn the news so quickly was naturally because when patrolling the vicinity of Cai's mansion, they found someone sneaking around and seemed to be secretly spying on them, and after taking them down, they were tortured, and finally learned about this information from him, and this person was actually left to observe the situation in order to report back at any time.

After learning the news at that time, the members of the spy team did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone over to send the news to Lu Bu, and it was up to him to decide, and of course they themselves had to make some preparations for this, after all, it seemed that the situation was not good.

This news was indeed a bit unexpected for Lu Bu, and he still couldn't figure out what went wrong, but it didn't stop him from continuing his actions in the slightest.

Of course, Lu Bu did not hide this matter from Cai Yong, Cai Yong's first reaction was to worry about Lu Bu first: "Then Feng Xian, aren't you in danger this time, if Feng Xian is affected because of this, then the old man will really be ashamed and guilty." ”

How could Lu Bu make him feel ashamed, he could only hurriedly relieved: "How can Master Cai have no confidence in Feng Xian so much. No matter who the enemy is or how many people come, to a certain point they are just some dirty chickens and dogs. What's more, this matter should be due to some negligence on his part before, so that he will be caught by the other party, and what does it have to do with Master Cai, why should he blame himself? ”

This is also a fact, this matter is not to blame Cai Yong's head, not to mention that now is not the time to be held responsible, the most important thing for them now is to hurry up, after all, the spy team passed the news very quickly, and this is when the news came. Maybe they've just just reported the news. It takes a certain amount of time for Pound to discern and analyze, and then arrange a temporary transfer of troops and horses, and this is where he can make use of it, if he can beat this time difference. Then it's not impossible to leave before the other party rushes over.

It's just that the original plan needs to be changed at the last minute. In particular, the route to exit the city had to be changed. Originally, Lu Bu planned to return along the way he came, although there was one more person, as long as Cai Yong was dressed up a little, it would probably not arouse suspicion. This is also easy to disguise from the beginning to the end, but now the road is too far, not to mention the time-consuming, it is easy to be caught up by the enemy, after all, you have to pass through the palace in the middle, so Pang De and Xu Rong's army is now over there, and it is possible to be blocked directly on the road.

If you exclude the Gumen Road, you can go directly to the East Gate along the Upper East Gate Street, which is the most convenient and best choice for them at this time, because this road is too close, so close that after walking along the winding corridor in Buguangli, you can basically reach the exit of the Upper East Gate after turning one or two corners.

The only thing to worry about is that the other party is likely to think of this, and I don't know if the guards at the east gate will be notified in advance, although there should not be many people guarding the city over there, but if you are prepared in advance, Lu Bu and his subordinates will easily be entangled, and that is what Lu Bu is most worried about.

But it's useless to think about it too much at the moment, Lu Bu on the one hand asked people to step up the arrangements, and on the other hand, he also notified the members of the spy team in the city, so that they should take action when necessary, although they all have autonomy, and they must have made relevant arrangements before, but without Lu Bu's order, they probably don't know how to intervene, after all, Lu Bu told them not to participate in this trip to the sun, and this time it is to give them a "signal to lift the ban", And Lu Bu even felt that maybe the time would have to pay the price of their exposure in exchange for their success in getting out of the city.

At this time, Lu Bu had not regretted being so reckless this time, regret was useless for him, and it was the most important thing to plan the future now.

Lu Bu's speed is also fast enough, dismiss the people of Cai's house, arrange all walks of life to cover up the suspicious soldiers, have been designed before, only the specific implementation is left, and now it will be arranged quickly, so that everyone can start to act, at the same time, Lu Bu and Cai Yong formed a line, and also disguised themselves a little and then came out of the side door.

However, what Lu Bu didn't expect was that the enemy came faster, at least much faster than expected, when they walked out of the side gate not far away, they had already found that a group of people had caught up behind them, the number of people was not particularly large, and the preliminary estimate was hundreds of people, and in fact, the width and narrowness of the street above the east gate were enough for so many people to play, which was the best accommodating degree.

Of course, the restrictions on the enemy also have an effect on their own side, Lu Bu and they are also on horseback, but unfortunately it is difficult to get up fast, which has to be said to be the difference between Upper East Street and other streets in Luoyang City.

It seems that this road should lead from the first rectum to the end, but in fact, because there is a wide distance in the middle, it has actually gone through several twists and turns, and such a bend takes a lot of time even if a person walks on foot, let alone riding a horse, if you want to gallop, you don't even think about it.

And at this time, what surprised Lu Bu slightly was that according to his estimate, he could take advantage of the fact that the other party might not be familiar with the terrain to get rid of the other party, but in the end he was not able to achieve it, which can only show that the other party is likely to be from Xu Rong's team - at this time, Lu Bu still didn't know that Li Ru had come to Luoyang, let alone that the abnormality of himself and others was that he and the others were knocked to the ground by Li Ru.

Xu Rong's people, that is, Li Ru's people, are all from the people who evacuated with Dong Zhuo from Luoyang, and many of these people used to stay in Luoyang City, and with the personalities of those soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command, it would be strange not to turn Luoyang City upside down, and it is not surprising that they are so familiar with such a place. is not inferior to Lu Bu and Cai Yong, a local household.

This will not intimidate Lu Bu, as long as they have not been caught up, after all, under the conditions that both sides are facing a similar environment, Lu Bu and his group are relatively few, and they are more flexible and convenient to act, so although they have not been able to distance themselves from each other, Lu Bu and they started relatively early, and there is no risk of being caught up.

It's a pity that as soon as he thought of this, just when the group came to a fork in the road, another team jumped out from the side. The gang came very suddenly. It was also very surprising that Lu Bu was almost stunned at that time.

Looking at the outfit, you can know that this is obviously not your own person, not to mention that it is impossible for the members of the spy team to receive them in this way, so there is no other possibility of zài. Lu Bu also reacted quickly. Immediately shouted: "All listen to the order." Protect Master Cai in the middle and rush over! ”

The crowd was silent and replied with action. Soon, a conical formation with Lu Bu in the front as a sharp knife to protect Cai Yong in the middle and others to protect the others, and the two sides specially arranged five people to attack and defend in the back of the rear hall, and then rushed up.

Of course, Cai Yong's footsteps can't keep up with everyone, but this has long been taken into account, so the two guards in the middle of both sides stretched out their hands to put him in the air, and ran with him in a not very comfortable posture.

Although Lu Bu made the decision to charge only for a moment, but it was taken into account the current situation, although this team that rushed out from the side disrupted their rhythm, and the other person was even afraid that he had panicked at this time, but Lu Bu saw that the number of these people was not much, and they didn't seem to expect to be able to intercept themselves, they could only say that the other party was indeed very familiar with this neighborhood, but after all, it was a temporary intention, even if it was a shortcut, it was impossible to expect a qiē in advance, And at such a time, the more decisive the first decision, the more able to gain the upper hand, because the first to win in momentum.

What's more, at this time, they still use Lu Bu as an arrow, what kind of character is Lu Bu, the number one military general in the world, just the momentum on his body is completely revealed, which can scare some generals not to step forward, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, the distance between each other is so short, so short that when Lu Bu and they have already rushed up, the other party still seems to be a little unresponsive, and when they reacted to see Lu Bu and they rushed menacingly, they were already caught off guard, and they didn't even resist, they were swept by Lu Bu and his party like a storm. Trampled on the past, leaving only a few dead corpses in place.

This scene made the people chasing behind a little frightened, they had been unable to catch up with each other, and suddenly saw their own people rushing out and were about to stop them, but unfortunately before a round, they had already been buried in the enemy's hands, and the heavy smell of blood drifted to their noses with the direction of the wind, and they didn't know if it was a psychological effect, which made them have an urge to stop and gag.

And among the few fast horses in the back, Li Ru and Hua Xiong happened to be among them, but it turned out that it was Li Ru himself who led the troops this time.

Originally, Li Ru didn't think about coming over, but he just looked at Ma Chao even after he reminded and explained, he still didn't take it seriously, and he felt that this time was probably not simple, so he wanted to come over and take a look, although Ma Chao felt strange, but he just felt that Li Ru was wary that he didn't want to be with him, not to mention that the palace was all arranged, and he didn't need Li Ru to watch from the side, so he followed him.

And Li Ru didn't ask Ma Chao's people to come over, first, the palace still needs manpower, at this time it is not suitable to send people out, and secondly, there is still a long way to go around from the palace, and the road between the palaces is not easy to march, so he simply asked Li Ru to go to the east of the palace to find Xu Rong, and directly transferred some people from his subordinates, led by Li Ru and Hua Xiong, to check the situation.

And not long after he arrived at Caifu, he didn't expect to be reported to Caifu that several people scattered in different directions and ran away, and the problem in front of Li Ru at this time was naturally to chase over there.

However, Li Ru did not hesitate for too long, and immediately grasped the key to this seemingly complex problem, no matter how many passers-by, only one road is real, and as long as they know which direction they are most likely to flee to, they can always catch up with the ground if they go down this road, after all, their speed is not slow at all.

Just in case, of course. Li Ru still took the division of troops, originally brought a total of more than 1,000 people out, anyway, if so many people pursued together, it would be easy to cause traffic jams in the streets and alleys, so in addition to the main road to the upper east gate, which was arranged with the most people and led by himself and Hua Xiong, the rest were divided into several roads, each with only dozens of nearly 100 people in pursuit.

Even Li Ru didn't expect that he hadn't been chasing for long, he had found the traces of the opponent's target in front, and continued to chase all the way without the slightest hesitation, but he didn't expect that suddenly the team in front of him suddenly stopped, although they couldn't see what was going on because they were blocked in the back just now. Of course, I didn't know that it was Lu Bu who was showing his might. But after Li Ru came out of the crowd and saw the scene in front of him, he quickly thought of what was happening.

At this time, the role of the main backbone was revealed, Li Ru glanced at the soldiers who were stunned for a while, and suddenly shouted angrily: "What are you doing in a daze." Don't chase it yet. It's none other than hundreds of us. Just let so many people escape like this, you really have a face! ”

After saying that, he didn't even care about these soldiers, and drove the horse one step ahead by himself. Behind him, Hua Xiong snorted angrily at everyone and didn't care about them, he was concerned about Li Ru's safety, and he naturally followed closely behind.

And the soldiers only reacted at this time, of course, it is impossible to stay where they are and remain indifferent, Li Ru's behavior seems to be reckless, but it has the best stimulating effect, even their most convincing military advisors are desperate to pursue, where do they have reason to be afraid and retreat?

Immediately hundreds of people continued to regain their strength, and they continued to chase after each other; At this time, Lu Bu was running angrily, but he was very angry in his heart.

If you don't have to worry at all when you sneak into Luoyang, it's because of your strong confidence in your own strength, as long as you are cautious, nothing can stop you; But when he left, it was completely different, which was naturally because there was more Cai Yong in the group of people who left.

Although Cai Yong is not a weak scholar who is powerless, when he was young, he used to be like many young people in this year, but it is still unrealistic for him to rush and kill like Lu Bu in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, and Lu Bu and others brought such a "burden", like now, when they are running, they also need to arrange two other people to deliberately carry Cai Yong together, so that it will not be like this in a short time, after a long time, the three of them are affected, and Cai Yong is more likely to be injured, which is not what Lu Bu is happy to see, after all, he came to save Cai Yongdi, but he didn't have anything to do, but this rescue allowed him to save his injuries.

And Lu Bu knew that even if he didn't care about the problem of possible injury, it seemed that it would not work to continue like this, although the enemy army was still quite far away from them, and after the previous deterrence, the other party was affected and delayed for a little time, and there was no pursuit during this time, but Lu Bu and they kept running, and naturally the original distance was further extended, but the more time dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for them.

Originally, the distance from Buguangli to the Upper East Gate seemed to be quite close, but after really walking in it, Lu Bu found that it was not so easy, the most important thing was that they were walking on foot, which was even more difficult.

The other party was reluctant to let go of the back, although there was no figure visible because of the distance, but the movement caused by the hundreds of people riding horses together was so big that it couldn't hide the ground, and it also made Lu Bu and his party feel heavy, and they couldn't breathe, and the pressure in their hearts also affected their bodies, and their steps seemed to slowly become heavier, and they seemed to be getting slower and slower.

"I'm afraid it won't work like this, we still need horses to do it, otherwise we will be caught up by the rear, even if we really feel the upper east gate and break through, but it is not easy to leave......" Although he was talking in his mouth, Lu Bu didn't dare to stop at all, he was the best one, but at this time, it was not a matter of body, but psychological pressure, of course, this did not affect his thinking.

Lu Bu's words were also like a heavy punch in everyone's hearts, it was really to the point, unlike outside the valley gate, from this upper east gate is a large plain terrain, to this environment is undoubtedly the best environment for war horses to gallop, although now the other party seems to be riding a horse a little slower than they can't do it, but as long as they are not completely thrown away, wait until they are tired of how to get rid of it.

Since Lu Bu proposed it, he should naturally think of a solution, originally at this time, it should have been for the spy team to prepare the war horses, but unfortunately their preparations were a little hasty because of the news that they had been discovered, and it was too late in time, but Lu Bu said: "If it really doesn't work, let's grab some horses and come over......"

The guards around him were immediately stunned for a moment, and then one of them subconsciously asked: "Now the closest place to have a war horse is the pursuer behind, doesn't this mean that we have to take the initiative to stop and wait for them to catch up?" ”

However, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Where do you all want to go, Ben Hou doesn't mean to be so passive, but to take the initiative." ”

Take the initiative?

Everyone was confused by this term, although they were all the elites under Lu Bu, but they couldn't think about problems like Lu Bu, as if they had an idea in a moment, which was also what Jia Xu and Chen Gong had always admired about Lu Bu.

In fact, it is not an easy thing for the otaku in the previous life to do this, the thinking jump is inherent, and all kinds of whimsical ideas are also born on this basis, but it is also after experiencing the influence of Jia Xu, Chen Gong and Liangle and others, and slowly develop more careful thinking, in order to avoid the loopholes in these clever plans, more rational, and closer to the strategists of this era.

Of course, what Lu Bu thought of at the moment was actually not a clever plan, but it was unprepared, and when the other party thought that he could only escape, he did the opposite.

Because the other party's team is still behind, and they can't see their figures, they can simply stop here and place Cai Yong aside first, while Lu Bu himself takes other people to lurk in the vicinity first, but the twisting and twisting lanes here provide the best geographical convenience for Lu Bu's plan, and the other party will not think of this, and because they can't see people all the time, they won't suspect that everyone has disappeared suddenly, but at this time, it is inconvenient to make a move, because the other party is concentrated and acted together instead of scattered, So what Lu Bu can do is to "pick up the leaks", just select some people who are left behind as targets, and attack them unobtrusively, and the success rate is also very high.

Of course, in this way, it means that they will fall behind the enemy at that time, but this is also another wonderful point of Lu Bu's plan, hiding and letting the enemy pursue the past to "chase over", but his side temporarily avoids the edge, as for the matter of going out of the city, it will be slowly planned, and it may not necessarily be chosen at the Middle East Gate...... (To be continued......)
