Chapter 118: Negotiation

When Lu Bu arrived at his own territory, Lu Bu's heart suddenly settled down a lot. After all, Lu Bu at this time no longer has the courage he had in the early years, so at this time, he also knew how to be afraid, and only when he had something to cherish did he understand fear.

However, Lu Bu's army was caught in the detection of others, and this was the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion. And after seeing Lu Bu's army, the soldier quietly disappeared, and then hurriedly walked towards the Qinglong Battalion, the White Tiger Battalion, and the Xuanwu Battalion soldiers.

Xu Chu received the news as soon as possible, and he hurriedly ordered someone to find Cao Chun and Gao Shun. According to the news from the soldier under his command, this must be Lu Bu's army that retreated from Xiao Pei, and Lu Bu must be among them. If he can capture Lu Bu, then Xuzhou will definitely rise into chaos because of this, and a chaotic Xuzhou is much easier to deal with than a stable Xuzhou.

A moment later, Cao Chun and Gao Shun came to Xu Chu together. After seeing Xu Chu, Cao Chun hurriedly said: "Zhongkang, what are you looking for the two of us, is there a war?" ”

"Chu received a message, this news and you must like it." Xu Chu said to Cao Chun with a smile. And Cao Chun heard Xu Chu's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The thing that can make him happy must be that Lu Bujun has some new movements.

"Also, this matter is not a trivial matter of attacking the grain and grass escort, but this matter is a major matter now." Xu Chu said suddenly, and Cao Chun heard Xu Chu's words, and his heart was even more itchy. But Xu Chu is holding his appetite, but he can't say it directly.

"Zhongkang, don't be so unauthentic, don't make things difficult for Zihe, what happened." Gao Shun finally couldn't help but say in a slightly anxious tone.

Seeing that Cao Chun was already in a hurry, Xu Chu stopped teasing him, and then Xu Chu said, "Someone just came with news. said that he saw that Lu Bu's army had Xiaopei's generation withdraw. I think it should be the main force of Lu Bu's army that was defeated by Liu Bei, and Lu Bu must be among them. ”

Sure enough, hearing that Xu Chu had discovered the main force of Lu Bujun, Cao Chun's expression was obviously much more excited. These days, Lu Bu's escort troops have been fighting for so long, which really makes Cao Chun very breathless. After all, he is an elite, and it is really not challenging to fight the enemy army that escorts grain and grass.

I was a little excited to see Cao Chun's appearance. Xu Chu spoke again and said: "Don't be too happy too early, according to the intelligence of Tianyouxing, Lu Bu's army has no less than 10,000 people, and these are not comparable to the soldiers who transport food." This is written by Lu Bu's elite who has been on the battlefield and seen blood, but it is not easy to break it. And Lu Bu should still be in the army, everyone knows who Lu Bu is, and he is there, which also makes it more difficult to break the army. ”

listened to Xu Chu's words. Cao Chun also fell into deep thought. Although Cao Chun is impulsive, he is not a fool. He wouldn't joke with the lives of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, so he showed a look of embarrassment, after all, Lu Bu was still very strong. "Zihe, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Cao Chun was silent, Xu Chu on the side asked. As for Cao Chun's move, Xu Chu nodded slightly and agreed. Now there are some changes in the sub-and. I'm not as impulsive as I used to, and I know when I can't always fight against him. The whole thing needs to be carefully considered.

"Zhongkang, what do you think about this?" Hearing Xu Chu call himself, Cao Chun came back to his senses in deep thought. For the interception of Lu Bu, Cao Chun must be strong. But even if the Qinglong Battalion, the White Tiger Battalion, and the Xuanwu Battalion are all elites, the soldiers under Lu Bu's tent are not wine-brewed rice bags, if he leads the troops directly to kill them like this. Most of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion will be lost there.

Any one of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion is a treasure, how could Cao Chun let these soldiers go to death so lightly. Therefore, it is definitely unwise to fight hard. If you are not wise, you must not do it yourself. And since you can't fight hard, you can only outwit. And that doesn't have much to do with me. After all, I'm not good at thinking, so this matter is still left to people who like to think about things. And Gao Shun is such a person.

Gao Shun thought about it early, because he knew that his decision would affect the overall situation, and there was no room for sloppiness. If he accidentally makes a mistake, then all the soldiers of these three battalions will be lost here, which is not what Gao Shun wants to see.

As a former general under Lu Bu, Gao Shun wanted to give up the attack plan for a while, after all, this matter was widely implicated, and if one was not careful, it would definitely break the egg and kill people. However, Gao Shun cannot deny that this matter is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he can grasp this opportunity, it will have a huge impact on the future situation in Xuzhou. It's not good, it's because of this incident that Xuzhou has undergone great changes.

"Gongxiao, what do you think of this matter, should I fight or withdraw?" Xu Chu saw that Gao Shun was silent for a long time, and then asked. And in this matter, he has already given Gao Shun two ways to choose, one is to fight, and the other is to withdraw. And Xu Chu's decision is not unreasonable. Lu Bu came back, and there was really no point in staying any longer, after all, there was no war in Xuzhou, and the city defense was quite tight, and there was no need for these three armies to stay any longer.

After listening to Xu Chu, Gao Shun knew that the burden of this matter had fallen on him. And it was Xu Chu's words that let Gao Shun know that he only had two choices, either to fight or to withdraw. It's easy to say that you have no reason to stay any longer, so you might as well withdraw your troops early. But if you are afraid of withdrawing like this, Gao Shunhao feels that it is really not worth it, after all, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more.

"Bring me the map drawn by the obedient people these days." Gao Shun turned his head and said to a soldier beside him, and when the soldier heard Gao Shun's words, he hurriedly ran out, and after a while, he ran over with a cloth map.

Seeing Gao Shun's actions, Cao Chun's eyes obviously lit up. The reason why Gao Shun did this was to make up his mind to fight with Lu Bu. After all, if Gao Shun was decisive, he would definitely not study the map again on the premise of planning to withdraw his troops.

When the map was handed over to Gao Shun, the whole house suddenly fell silent. Seeing Gao Shun staring intently at the map, Cao Chun and Gao Shun looked at each other for a moment, and then the two nodded in unison, it was obvious that Cao Chun understood what Gao Shun meant. And the two of them knew that this was the most critical moment, so they both chose to be silent, did not speak at all, and waited quietly for Zeng Pei.

"Zhongkang, is Lu Bu's army taking the official road?" Gao Shun, who was looking at the map intently, suddenly said a word, and Xu Chu was also stunned, and then hurriedly said, That's right, it is the official road to take.

Gao Shun didn't look up at Xu Chu, his eyes were still staring at the map. Then, I heard Zeng Pei speak: "How fast is Lu Bu's army's march?" ”

"According to the news from Tianyouxing, it may have arrived in Xuzhou, so the marching speed of Lu Bu's army was unhurried, and it seemed very leisurely." Xu Chu hurriedly said again, for fear that if he said slowly, it might affect Gao Shun's strategy. And Cao Chun listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, after all, the conversation between the two of them couldn't be inserted by himself, which made him a little impatient.

And since the conversation with Xu Chu, Gao Shun has fallen into silence, and he can't hear any movement from him for half a sound, which also makes Cao Chun scratch his ears and cheeks even more.

"Lu Bu is a large number of people, and the soldiers are good and well-fed, and if they fight hard, they will definitely kill and wound countless people. Whether it is Zihe's White Tiger Camp or Shun's Xuanwu Battalion, they are all the elite of the elite, and they must not be compromised too much. So since you can't be a hard enemy, you can only sneak attack or ambush. After a long silence, Gao Shun finally spoke.

He raised his head, looked at Xu Chu and Cao Chun, and said again: "We will wait for a sneak attack and ambush to use together, and we will definitely make Na Lu Bu unpeaceful." Gao Shun's eyes were full of murderous intentions, this battle can only be won but not worshipped, if he really fails, then his loss is too big to accept Cheng DΓΉ.

"Gongxiao, what are you going to do?" Regarding Gao Shun's words, it was a sneak attack and an ambush, Cao Chun felt that this matter was difficult to understand. Whether to let him lead his troops to attack, or let him find a place to ambush.

"Gongxiao wants Chu to lead the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion to attack Lu Bu's army, and you and Zihe will choose the right place to ambush Lu Bu?" Xu Chu's words suddenly got to the point, which also made Gao Shun nod in agreement.

"Zhong Kang is not wrong, Shun is intending to do so." Gao Shun said in a very affirmative tone.

At this time, Cao Chun's expression showed a hint of doubt, and then he said: "Gongxiao's plan is good, but above the official road, there is no place to set up an ambush." ”

Obviously, Gao Shun knew that Cao Chun would say this, so he didn't show any unusual expression. He just smiled slightly, and then said: "There is no place in the official road where you can sneak attack, but there may not be such a place under the official road, you listen to me tell you one by one." ”

"Shun carefully studied the map, especially the official road from Xiaopei to Xuzhou, which made me pay more attention. According to my original intention, it was to ambush Lu Bu in the official road, but throughout this official road, there was no place for us to use, so Shun could only think of another way. ”

"After carefully studying the map, I found that there is a valley here, which is very suitable for ambush, and if I wait for LΓΌ Bu's army to lure him into the valley, it will definitely allow him to come and go."

After listening to Gao Shun's words, Cao Chunshen nodded thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
