The fire in Xuchang, because Xun Yu was anxious to save Liu Xie, did not stop it in time, when Lu Bu and Hao Zhao met at the agreed place, and when they looked back, the fire in Xuchang was getting bigger and bigger, and from a distance, half of the sky was burned red.

"Lord!" Hao Zhao came to Lu Bu a little weakly and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Lu Bu.

"Eat it, and eat one a day in the future, and you can increase your strength." Lu Bu took out a soul pill and handed it to Hao Zhao.

"Thank you, lord!" Hao Zhao's eyes were a little red: "It's just that the brothers who are together are gone!" ”

Lu Bu looked behind Hao Zhao, there were more than 100 soldiers, and now only seven of them followed Hao Zhao to kill, and everyone was injured, Lu Bu only felt a little depressed in his heart.

Not only Hao Zhao's side, when Lu Bu set out on the expedition, there were more than 2,000 horsemen, but now, there are only more than 600 people left.

"Thousands of miles of running, breaking Cao Ren!" Lu Bu took a deep breath, looked at the soldier with blood stains, and said loudly: "Attack Xuchang and welcome the holy driver!" ”

"In this world, there is no army that can do such things without any supplies or reinforcements, and you are worthy of the name of elite!" Lu Bu looked at everyone and said loudly: "From today on, you and others are all my pro-army, and you will enjoy the wealth of hundreds of generals, Hao Zhao!" ”

"The last general!" Hao Zhao stepped forward.

"Did all the soldiers make a book when they went out on the expedition?" Lu Bu looked at Hao Zhao.

"It's been written." Hao Zhao nodded.

"All the families of the fallen soldiers, after returning to Xuzhou, all assembled, will be supported by the state pastoral government, the people who participated in the war, whether they were killed or not, those who have land at home, are exempt from taxes for three years, and after three years, they will be taxed by half! For those who have no land, the state government provides ten acres of thin land and cultivates them with half a tax! Lu Bu looked at the generals and said: "Bu Nai is a martial artist, and he can't say any big truth, but today's words, a certain can swear to the sky, if you violate today's words, you will make a certain arrow pierce the heart and die!" ”

"Thank you, I will follow the lord to the death!" A group of soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, and the others were all false, but the fields and the land were real, and Lu Bu's pension to the families of the deceased soldiers also made the hearts of these people hang in their hearts, after all, not everyone is alone, Lu Bu's promise can be regarded as re-energizing morale, after all, although he has successfully welcomed back the holy car, it is not an easy thing to kill back in the hinterland of the Cao army.

It was easy to come, it was that Cao Jun was defenseless, Lu Bu led the soldiers to dress up as Cao Jun, and even if the garrisons everywhere were puzzled, they did not inquire, but now, if they want to bring Liu Xie back to Xuzhou from here, it may not be as easy as when they came.

"Lord, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's withdraw the army as soon as possible." After resting for a while, Hao Zhao came to Lu Bu's side and bowed.

"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded, but his mind was quickly thinking about what to do next.

It is impossible to return the same way, according to the news from the ghost guard, Xun Yu has ordered someone to send an order to the surrounding cities to intercept Lu Bu.

More than 600 people, even if they are covered in iron, it is impossible to kill all the way back without any supplies, when they set out on the expedition, they each slacked off their ten-day rations, and now they have been exhausted, the next step, the biggest problem Lu Bu faces is not how to go back, but how to fill everyone's stomachs.

"Let's go!" After thinking for a moment, Lu Bu turned on his horse and led the generals to the west.

"General Lu!" After walking for several miles, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Liu Xie suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and stepped forward and said to Lu Budao.

"What does Your Majesty command?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Liu Xie.

"This doesn't seem to be the direction to Xuzhou." Liu Xie was puzzled.

"The road to Xuzhou, I'm afraid it has been blocked by Xun Yu, our soldiers have been exhausted for a long time, and the grain and grass they bring have been exhausted, and the war horses are not able to run anymore, if they go to Xuzhou, it will be a series of fierce battles, I am afraid that I can't escort His Majesty back to Xuzhou, and now we are going the other way, that Xun Yu Dingnan found that this is Kunyang for a hundred miles, we can go here to the south, and Dingying is in Runan." Lu Bu bowed.

"As far as I know, Runan is now in the hands of the imperial uncle, and the general and the imperial uncle seem to be ......" Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu with a bit of inquiry.

After Liu Bei was driven away by Lu Bu for the first time, he went to vote for Cao Cao and won the name of the emperor's uncle in Xuchang, but Liu Xie's current appearance does not seem to be too close to Liu Bei.

"It is Liu Bei's land, but now Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are all gathered in the Jiujiang area, and the rear is empty." When Lu Bu heard this, he sneered: "Besides, what does Your Majesty think Liu Bei is like Cao Cao?" ”

"This ......" Liu Xie shook his head: "I don't know the art of war, but Uncle Huang and his two righteous brothers are quite good at fighting. ”

"But Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are not only well-trained, but also experienced in a hundred battles." Lu Bu said indifferently: "Although Liu Bei has many soldiers, but his subordinates are all bandits and grass cowards, although the number is numerous, it is only a rabble, don't say that Liu Bei doesn't know that he wants to go to Runan in the end, that is, he knows, with those rabble under his command, it is difficult to stop." ”

Liu Bei, at least for now, even if there are only hundreds of generals around him now, Lu Bu dares to ignore his thousands of troops.

……

The endless darkness was driven away by the light, and the fire in Xuchang was finally gradually extinguished under Xun Yu's command, just looking at the devastated and ruined city, Xun Yu only felt that his heart was empty.

The messengers sent to various places have already set off, but whether they can stop that Lu Bu, Xun Yu does not have much confidence in his heart, it seems that since the battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu seems to have changed as a person, this surprise attack on Xuchang, whether Sun Ce or Liu Bei appears here, Xun Yu will not have the slightest surprise, but Lu Bu, who should not have come, came.

After this battle, the lord may have another headache enemy!

"Ling Gong, I'll wait at the city gate and find General Cao Ren." A general came to Xun Yu's side and bowed.

"Oh?" Xun Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is Zixiao okay?" ”

"Seriously wounded, but still alive." The military general bowed.

"Take me there!" Xun Yu hurriedly urged the military general to take him to Cao's mansion.

Cao Ren also fortune telling, last night when the difficulty, was thrown to the side of the road by the soldiers, is in the corner of the city gate, dodged the cavalry trampling, and then the two sides fought, no one bothered to pay attention to him, just lay outside the city gate for a night, according to the diagnosis of the doctor, Cao Ren is basically traumatic, but the blood loss has been too many before falling into a coma, only need to rest for a period of time, can recover.

When Xun Yu heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as one of the few good news among many bad news.

"Ling Gong, did you inform the lord of this matter?" A military general asked.

Hearing this, Xun Yu hesitated a little, and after a long time, he nodded silently, this matter is no longer something he can decide on his own: "Send someone to inform the lord of the detailed battle report." ”

As for how to cut off, it can only depend on how Cao Cao chooses, but the battle with Yuan Shao cannot continue to be fought.
