Chen Li looked at the gradually darkening sky, turned his head to look at Xu Chu beside him, and said, "General Xu, it's not early, why don't I camp here tonight?" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, Mu Ne's eyes looked at the large forest not far away, shook his head and said: "This place is surrounded by mountains and forests, and it is easy to be ambushed. ”

"Now that this Xuzhou is under the rule of Cao Gong, what is the danger?" When Chen Li heard this, he felt that Xu Chu was a little too cautious, in the entire Xuzhou, only Lu Bu's Xiapi did not belong to Cao Cao, and Lu Bu was now trapped in a lonely city, how could he come here? This is not only the grain and grass of the Cao army, in order to avoid the troubles of the bandits who do not open their eyes, let them accompany the guards, in this Xuzhou, who dares to run here to rob the grain?

Xu Chu didn't speak, but looked at Chen Li's gaze, a little more angry, and it felt like being targeted by a tiger.

His chest was a little tight, and Chen Li hurriedly said, "Everything is up to the general's arrangement." ”

Xu Chu silently turned his head and continued to move forward.

The sky has completely darkened, everyone is in a hurry in the dark, Cao Jun can still keep it unchaotic, but the Xuzhou army sent by Chen Qi began to complain, people in this era are more or less night blind, they can't see things clearly in the night, even if there are torches to illuminate, there are not many places to see, it is easy to fall behind, once you accidentally fall, it is easy to be trampled by the soldiers behind, so if it is not necessary, few people will generally march overnight.

The formation, which was originally quite strict, began to appear chaotic as time passed, not to bomb the camp, but that those troops from the Chen family began to fight each other.

Xu Chu didn't speak, these Chen family's troops came to help, and he couldn't scold him, but the principle must be adhered to.

Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, strategists are like rain, on bravery, after Dian Wei, Xu Chu may be the first to be recommended, but if you talk about generals, Xu Chu is by no means the best, but why every time there is a big war, Cao Cao always uses Xu Chu in some key places? is all because Xu Chu can complete every task according to Cao Cao's will without the slightest discount, and everyone likes such subordinates.

The soldiers of the Chen family complained, which also affected Cao Jun's mood to some extent, but Xu Chu, as the main general, did not speak, and the soldiers only complained at most, and no one dared to really disobey the order.

The troops slowly advanced in the dark, and gradually walked out of this complex terrain, and nothing happened, Xu Chu ordered people to start camping and cooking in an open area.

"Lord, why didn't you do it just now?" In the dense forest, Cao Xuan looked at Lu Bu and said with some doubts.

They had already arrived here in the afternoon, cleaned up the traces, and added the cover of the night, Xu Chu did not find anything wrong, but after lying in ambush for a long time, Lu Bu watched Xu Chu cross the border, and did not choose to attack at the time that Cao Xuan thought was most suitable.

"The Chen family's soldiers and horses are not to be afraid, but the Cao army is prepared, and they can't do their best to attack at this moment." Lu Bu shook his head, if it was just to grab food, it was indeed the best opportunity to do it just now, but if you want to annihilate it all, it is impossible, the night restricts Cao Jun's sight, and it also restricts their sight, Qin Li's suggestion makes Lu Bu very moved, if there is no support from the imperial court in righteousness, the Chen family will be much easier to deal with.

Righteousness is a very illusory thing, but it is real, how to calculate it, Lu Bu still can't say why, in his opinion it is very hypocritical, but many people eat this set, simply put, it is justified, Lu Bu has been begging the court to canonize Xuzhou Mu is this reason.

The Chen family is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, after Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu, the three princes are still standing, and even stronger and stronger, although Lu Bu hates the betrayal of the Chen family's father and son, but he is also very aware of the Chen family's energy in Xuzhou, at this time, if he can provoke the relationship between the Chen family and Cao Cao, it is definitely a very cost-effective deal, so, although the possibility is not high, he wants to give it a try.

Under the command of Lu Bu, the soldiers of the 800 camps quietly approached the camp where Xu Chu was temporarily stationed, but did not attack.

Just like eight hundred wolves, under the leadership of Lu Bu, the wolf king, they are silently waiting for the best time to make a move.

As the night deepened, Xu Chu's camp was still lit with sporadic firelight, Lu Bu silently leaned on a tree trunk, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Cao Xuan took the bread and dried meat prepared in advance and handed it to Lu Bu: "Lord, eat something first, and you will have strength to move your hands for a while." ”

Lu Bu glanced back at Cao Xing, who was sleepy, and then looked at the soldiers scattered in the dense forest around him, took the dough, took a bite, and chewed it on the jerky, it didn't feel good, but when the army was marching and fighting, some of them were good to eat, Lu Bu didn't find fault with anything, chewed for a long time, and drank a sip of water before swallowing.

The soldiers were very sleepy, Lu Bu naturally knew that he had rushed overnight and traveled for two days to arrive here, and he only slept once on the way, but now he couldn't sleep, once he fell asleep, his spirit would also be slack, he wanted to take advantage of this sharp spirit to annihilate Cao Jun in one fell swoop, once he fell asleep, this gas was also discharged.

Waiting is boring, especially when sleepiness keeps rising, and you can't make too much noise or do other things, that is, you are trapped in the camp and replaced by ordinary soldiers, but you don't have the stamina.

Lu Bu grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, the soil in winter was cold, and wiped it on his face, the cold feeling stimulated Lu Bu's nerves, making him sane, and Cao Xing beside him was like this, and he also made himself sober a lot.

Cao Xing himself didn't know how long he had waited, there was only darkness left between the sky and the earth, and the boundless sleepiness kept hitting his brain, even if he kept grinding blood stains on his face with frozen soil, his eyelids still couldn't stop fighting, and suddenly felt that someone pushed him.

"Who!?" Almost instinctively, Cao Xuan held the sword on his waist and looked to his side.

In the dark, Lu Bu's angular cheeks were stained with a lot of soil, and they were obliquely inserted into the corners of his sideburns, with a trace of blood, and in the faint moonlight, facing this face that was not ugly or even handsome, but it made people feel a sense of suffocating oppression.

Cao Xuan quickly reacted, shook his head fiercely, lifted the spear on the ground, and saluted Lu Bu: "Lord." ”

"Inform the soldiers, get ready to go!" Lu Bu didn't blame Cao Xing's lack of will, in fact, it was not easy for it to survive until now, although it felt good after recovering its physical body, it could no longer be like a ghost without sleepless and not tired!

"Whoa!" Cao Xing was excited, and hurriedly went to inform the soldiers in the forest, at this time, he naturally couldn't sound the horn, so he could only call one by one, and then more people called, and it took a quarter of an hour for the eight hundred soldiers to assemble.

At the darkest moment, a touch of fish belly white appeared strangely in the sky, this was the moment before the dawn came, Lu Bu straddled the red rabbit horse, and pointed the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand towards the camp where the bonfire had been extinguished in the distance......
