Chapter 181
Although Guan Yu didn't discuss with me Xu Chu where to intercept Lu Bu before, there are only a few places suitable for ambushes on the roads near the north from Xuzhou, not to mention that Guan Yu and Xu Chu are also sworn brothers who have been together for a long time. If it was normal, Guan Yu never doubted that he couldn't find Xu Chu. But this time Guan Yu was helpless, because Guan Yu and Xue Rengui had visited almost all the places suitable for ambushes, but they still didn't find Xu Chu.
In the end, Guan Yu also knew that if he delayed the capture of Xuzhou City, it would be a big loss, after all, Xu Chu's martial arts were there, as long as Xu Chu was not bent on death, even if the leader was Lu Bu? Xu Chu can come and go freely.
Guan Yu had no choice but to confess to Xue Rengui, and he was no longer looking for his third brother. Instead, he turned back and joined Zhou Qing and the others, preparing to give Xuzhou City a thunderous blow, and directly knock out Lu Bu's back nest, so that he could not take care of each other. Xue Rengui can also be regarded as subduing Guan Yu this time. Although Guan Yu has not bowed his head to Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui believes that this day is not far away. Although he didn't get Xu Chu, people always have to be content and happy. Xue Rengui also withdrew to Xuzhou City according to Guan Yu, and went to join Zhou Qing and others to prepare for the capture of Xuzhou City.
Lu Bu personally led the army north, and at this time, Xue Rengui's left and right pioneers had already converged. Luo Cheng and Zhang Fei are the vanguards, according to Xue Rengui's previous instructions, the strategy of the two is centered on Luo, and Zhang Fei is the leader of the charge. Lieutenants Chi Gong, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, Shan Xiongxin and others.
Zhang Fei also fought with Lu Bu repeatedly, and when Lu Bu was about to gain the upper hand, Luo Cheng ordered the whole army to assault, and he also took advantage of the situation to cut into the battle circle between Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, giving Lu Bu a great degree of interference. However, Lu Bu was bitter that he had left Zhang Liao in the rear of Xuzhou Town, and the rest of the generals under Lu Bu were all about third-rate level, and in their minds, they did not believe that their main guild capsized in the gutter. No one saw Lu Bu's embarrassment, naturally no one would be unhappy to find him, Lu Bu was most annoying before to fight with others, no matter how many people there were on the other side, once the generals went up to support, they would definitely be scolded by Lu Bu. However, how can Luo Cheng and Zhang Fei be added to the same day?
Lu Bu was afraid of face, and he was unwilling to call someone for help. These days, Lu Bu is also very aggrieved. But today, Lu Bu was very happy, and even set up a banquet in the big tent. The reason for all this is because the man named Yao Guangxiao has returned to Lu Bu's side. At this time, Lu Bu realized how important it was to have a strategic military advisor. It can be said that after Yao Guangxiao defected to Lu Bu for so long, it was the first time that he felt that Yao Guangxiao was needed like this.
At the same time in Xuzhou City, Zhang Liao first found signs of Guan Yu outside the city, and originally planned to let his lieutenant generals go to encircle and suppress, but he couldn't stand the flickering of Chen's father and son and Mi brothers in the city, so he led 3,000 men and horses out of the city. But when Zhang Liao went out of the city, he was suddenly shocked when there was nothing. wanted to turn around and rush to Xuzhou City, but he didn't expect that at this time, Guan Yu and a white-clothed and white-armored general beside him. Zhang Liao knew that it would be useless to storm the city now, and he could only lose his troops in vain. Then he turned around and hurried to Xiaopei with the soldiers and horses.
Yao Guangxiao is also glad that Lu Bu can realize the importance of strategy. But when Lu Bu set up wine to celebrate, Xue Rengui's rear army all arrived. Xue Rengui's 100,000 army all charged to the Lu Bu military camp as if they were not dying, and the front was led by Luo Cheng, Zhang Fei, and Wei Chigong, all of whom were unparalleled fierce generals, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai and others were also good at cutting soldiers and soldiers. Lu Bujun didn't have much defense for a while, and he almost let the Xue family army break through the camp. Lu Bu first looked at Yao Guangxiao in puzzlement, but seeing that Yao Guangxiao still didn't give any answer for a while, Lu Bu didn't hesitate, picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd next to him and rushed out.
Just when Lu Bu came out of the camp to meet the Xue family's army, he had just recovered a little decline, but suddenly heard a shout from Xiaopei Zhang Liao's envoy: "Xuzhou City has been lost." ”
Just when Lu Bu came out of the camp to meet the Xue family's army, he had just recovered a little decline, but suddenly heard a shout from Xiaopei Zhang Liao's envoy: "Xuzhou City has been lost." Lu Bu's eyes widened angrily, his eyes were red, he shouted, and shouted: "Xue Rengui'er deceived me too much!" Today will surely cost your entire army the life of this place! ”
Yao Guangxiao knew that the general trend was gone, so he hurriedly called someone to stop Lu Bu, who wanted to fight hard, and escaped with him for nearly a hundred miles. Camp in place and gather the scattered soldiers and horses. Lu Bu obeyed Yao Guangxiao's arrangement, stationed soldiers and horses by the mountains and rivers, and gathered men and horses while guarding against the attack of the Xue family's army, and then sent an envoy to contact Zhang Liao, so that Zhang Liao could prepare to respond.
The soldiers and horses left by Lu Bu to Zhang Liao to guard Xuzhou City were all the original Xuzhou City people, who belonged to the recruitment and training in Tao Qian, and also experienced the leadership of Liu Bei, Xu Chu, and Guan Yu. This time, Guan Yu came back to continue to command them, and they didn't have any opinions. What's more, behind this General Guan Yu is still the world-famous hussar general Xue Rengui. With such a prince in command of himself, why worry about not being able to make meritorious contributions. Even some soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City began to contact their relatives and friends in Xiaopei to rebel.
And Lu Bu finally gathered all the rout, and it was to pull up the camp and prepare to retreat, but suddenly there was the sound of Xue Jiajun chasing behind, Lu Bu led some soldiers and horses to break, Yao Guangxiao led a large team of men and horses to rush to Xiaopei in front to prepare for reinvigoration.
Just as Lu Bu was fighting and retreating, he suddenly heard a loud sound like thunder: "Four family slaves!" Don't take your life yet! ”
It turned out that this person was Xu Chu, who had endured for many days, Xu Chu had always been in danger, and he had mixed into the queue of Lu Bu's army the day before, and even had been beside Lu Bu, Xu Chu had been waiting for a chance to give Lu Bu a fatal blow, even if it was at the cost of his own life, because before that, Xu Chu heard that his eldest brother had already hung his head in Xuzhou City.
Xu Chu rushed towards Lu Bu with a thunderous momentum. The tiger's back knife in his hand pointed directly at Lu Bu. Lu Bu is also a tiger general, how can he not see that this is Xu Chu's killing blow. Unless you dodge, or force Xu Chu to change his moves, it is possible to avoid this killer blow by letting Xu Chu put away this knife. Lu Bu didn't dodge, and he also took Xu Chu's key point with the halberd painted by Fang Tian in his hand.
The two rode by, but it was just a fleeting scene. The two of them were able to stop the horses' hooves.
