Chapter 182 Lu Bu: Xuzhou, I'm here!
"What the others said is very true!"
Although Yuan Shu was called the emperor this time, he was not drunk and dreamed of death, and he still wanted to annex the entire Han world in one fell swoop, and be the ancestor of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu.
Now that there are many princes in the world, Lu Bu is indeed a rare help to him.
What's more, after he had just been proclaimed emperor a few times ago, Sun Ce, who was far away in the land of Wu County, turned his head and drew a clear line with him.
He even accused him in letters.
This made Yuan Shu's mood when he had just become emperor a little worse.
And when Lu Bu came this time, Yuan Shu was naturally ecstatic for the first time.
Back then, before the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu was brave, and Yuan Shu vaguely remembered.
If you can get Lu Bu's help, you don't know how many times stronger than that Sun Ce child.
After all, is it just Corporal Lixian's set?
Those wealthy families support Yuan Shao, isn't it because it's very good for that illegitimate child to do this kind of superficial kung fu!
Yuan Shao did it, how can he Yuan Shu!
What's more, today's situation has changed, and now he is the emperor of the Zhong family.
Learn from the likes of Han Gaozu, and Corporal Lixian is not impossible!
Yuan Shu persuaded himself in his heart, then paused and looked up at the hundred officials under his command again, and spoke.
"In this case, I will hold a banquet outside Shouchun City and talk to Na Lu Bu!"
On that day, when it was time to Shen, the gate of Shouchun City was opened.
Yuan Shu took his hundreds of officials to invite Lu Bu outside the city.
Hearing this, Lu Bu took Cao Xing and a group of guards to go straight to the big tent that Yuan Shu had just built outside the city.
Not long after, Lu Bu and others arrived at the big tent.
"Don't come to harm!"
Outside the big tent, Lu Bu brought people over, and Yuan Shu greeted Lu Bu with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Bu wanted to scold.
Fortunately, Cao Xing pulled him, which made Lu Bu endure it temporarily.
However, Lu Bu, who was doing this kung fu, was not a little polite to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu in front of him was wearing a dark crown in front of him, with a crown of twelve beads on his head, a proper act of transgression.
This guy now completely thinks of himself as an emperor.
Lu Bu had already seen Yuan Shu's Son of Heaven honor guard coming with him from a distance just now.
"Brother Highway is so magnificent!"
Lu Bu was not angry, and he didn't take Yuan Shu's current emperor title in his eyes at all, in his opinion, Yuan Shu's current move to become emperor was completely sick in the brain!
Even if he were Lu Bu, he would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.
Although Yuan Shu was a little unhappy that Lu Bu did not respect himself, he didn't say anything on the surface.
Now Lu Bu is an extremely good help for him, and now is not the time to turn his face.
"Wen Hou wants to stay in Huainan for the time being?"
Yuan Shu sent out an invitation, if Lu Bu could stay, it would naturally be a great thing for him.
It's just that he just said this, and Lu Bu in front of him directly refused as soon as his face sank.
"No!"
"This trip arrived in Shouchun, Bu only came to form an alliance with Brother Highway, with all due respect, Brother Highway is really unwise to call the emperor this time!"
After thinking of his purpose, Lu Bu's tone softened a little, and he also opened his mouth to advise Yuan Shu by the way.
It's just that now that Yuan Shu has been called the emperor, after experiencing the beauty of the emperor's name, how can he give up so easily.
For Lu Bu's advice, Yuan Shu did not take it to heart.
However, since Lu Bu came to form an alliance, they could continue to cooperate with each other.
"The Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is gone, and it is a natural thing for me to inherit the Mandate of Heaven this time, don't say much about it first!"
replied to Lu Bu, Yuan Shu didn't listen to the other party's advice just now.
This kung fu Lu Bu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
If he hadn't needed Yuan Shu's help this time, he would have exploded on the spot.
Lu Bu's face pulled down, and he didn't continue to speak.
Yuan Shu saw that Lu Bu was interested, and then continued to speak: "Since Feng Xian doesn't plan to stay in Shouchun this time, is there a place to go?" ”
He had already known in advance that Lu Bu was going to make a detour through his territory to directly attack Xuzhou, and this time he asked knowingly.
Lu Bu didn't hesitate to hear Yuan Shu's question, and directly responded: "Bu plans to occupy the land of Xuzhou, and this time I need Brother Highway to help me!" ”
Lu Bu said bluntly, and Yuan Shu nodded subconsciously.
When he attacked Yanzhou before, he was defeated by Cao Cao and was pursued by the other party all the way, and this matter has been remembered by Yuan Shu until now.
And since the land of Xuzhou was taken by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu hated Cao Cao even more.
It's just that he has attacked Xuzhou several times before, but he has not found anything.
At present, since Lu Bu intends to attack Xuzhou, this coincides with his thoughts.
Although Lu Bu has not yet recognized his title of emperor, there are some things that Yuan Shu is not in a hurry about.
He glanced at Lu Bu, the corners of his mouth curled.
The Lu Bu in front of him is stronger than Sun Jian at the beginning, Sun Jian was in a cooperative relationship with him back then, and he didn't work for him later.
Lu Bu has now come from Bingzhou, and his army has long been exhausted.
Now Lu Bu has no choice.
He needs to cooperate with him, and he also needs someone to help him take the initiative to fight the world.
Both have their own ideas.
Yuan Shu felt that as long as he controlled Lu Bu's rear grain and grass, he would be like controlling Sun Jian back then.
When the time comes, Lu Bu, this guy, once the food and grass are short, will inevitably bow down.
"This matter is easy, Feng Xian and rest assured, the food and grass you need, you can tell me bluntly!"
Yuan Shu opened his mouth and directly responded to Lu Bu's request.
Hearing this, Lu Bu's face couldn't help but get a little better.
"Then thank you Brother Highway for your help!"
With Yuan Shu's help in grain and grass, the capture of Xuzhou couldn't help but add a little confidence to Lu Bu.
This kung fu, Lu Bu didn't feel a little disgusted when he looked at Yuan Shu's face.
The other party is called the emperor, what does it have to do with himself.
Nor is he a vassal.
And Yuan Shu can be called the emperor this time, it is also because of where the Yuan family's heritage is, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he will not have much confidence.
After achieving the goal, in the big tent outside Shouchun City, this kung fu can be regarded as the joy of the guests and hosts.
Following.
With a wave of his hand, Yuan Shu directly and heroically dispatched 20,000 Xiliang troops for January grain and grass to Lu Bu, and also sent his generals Ji Ling and Lu Bu to Xuzhou together.
Lu Bu, who got the grain and grass, did not delay in the slightest, and directly led the army all the way to Xuzhou.
……
When Lu Bu and Ji Ling each led the army towards Xuzhou, they were in Xuzhou at the same time.
Xiahoudun, who had just changed guards with Cao Ren, was holding back a fire at the moment.
As a general, no one wants to be tasked with defending the city.
What's more, this is a time when the world is in turmoil, for Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, this kung fu is the time to follow Cao Cao to pacify the world and make contributions.
However, because of the drama before, his brother Cao Cao was unhappy, so that Cao Ren seized the opportunity to change positions with him.
It wasn't until he arrived in Xuzhou that Xiahoudun knew how boring this kind of thing was for a general.
He can still take advantage of this opportunity to train his troops.
However, this time, the newly recruited 3,000 soldiers, how did Xiahoudun look at it and feel unpleasant.
Compared with the 1,000 brave soldiers he was pried away, these new soldiers who have entered the camp are becoming more and more difficult to see.
However, with Xiahou Yuan by his side, this period of time can be regarded as reluctant.
"Yuan Rang, I just received the news that Yuan Shu has become the emperor!"
When Xiahou Yuan was training in the camp with his recruits, Xiahou Yuan came up in a hurry.
As soon as he came up, the news brought by Xiahou Yuan made Xiahou Yuan's entire pupils enlarge.
"What are you talking about, that guy Yuan Shu is actually the emperor?"
After learning the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor, Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment, but then Xiahoudun reacted.
This time, Yuan Shu became the emperor, and it was just an opportunity for him.
He was worried that he was idle in Xuzhou, and the news that Yuan Shu was the emperor didn't just give him an excuse.
Anyway, if Meng De learned such news, he would definitely choose to crusade against Yuan Shu, this time Na Shouchun was not far from him, and he happened to be able to lead troops to recruit Yuan Shu.
For Xiahoudun, Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor is just death!
When Yuan Shu attacked Yanzhou before, he followed Cao Cao all the way to pursue Yuan Shu, and the other party was almost vulnerable in his eyes.
"Miaocai, what a good thing!"
???
When Xiahou Yuan heard the news that Yuan Shu was called emperor, the corners of his mouth were about to crack, but Xiahou Yuan in front of him was a little stunned.
Yuan Shu is the emperor, what do you have to be happy about?
"Yuan Rang, this time Yuan Shu that guy is the emperor, it is a usurpation, why are you so happy?"
Xiahou Yuan asked out loud, and when he heard this, the corners of Xiahouyuan's mouth curled and responded.
"Miaocai, it's because that guy is the emperor that I'm happy!"
"Right now, you and I are in Xuzhou, it is the time when we have nothing to do, and now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, you and I just take this opportunity to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu."
Well?
Sending troops to fight against Yuan Shu?
Xiahou Yuan glanced at Xiahoudun strangely: "But this time my brother didn't have a letter to you and me, so if you rush to send troops......"
Hearing this, Xiahoudun couldn't help but chuckle: "As the so-called general is outside, the monarch's order is not affected, not to mention that the person in charge of the court is Meng De!" ”
"What, are you still worried that Meng De will blame you and me?"
Xiahoudun pursed his lips, paused and continued.
"This time Yuan Shu is the emperor, after Meng De knows about this, he will inevitably raise troops to fight against Yuan Shu, but he happens to lead the troops to the west now, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise troops for a while!"
"And you and I are stationed in Xuzhou, and now it's just right to crusade against Yuan Shu, what else is there to hesitate about?"
"Are you afraid of that guy Yuan Shu?"
Xiahouyuan chuckled, and when he heard this, the corners of Xiahouyuan's mouth couldn't help twitching.
As far as Yuan Shu's guy is concerned, where is he worthy of fear, what Xiahoudun said is right.
Yuan Shu is the emperor, and Cao Cao will inevitably raise troops to fight.
Now that they are marching to defeat Yuan Shu, there is no problem in the slightest.
"Brother is right, if this is the case, Yuan will listen to his brother!"
Nodding to Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan responded to the former's statement.
As soon as the two of them discussed, they hurriedly summoned their generals, including some of the guards originally stationed in Xuzhou, plus the newly recruited soldiers of the two, no more, no less, exactly 30,000 people.
……
"Yuan Shu thief, rebellious, vainly claiming to be the emperor, I want to raise troops to crusade against ......"
Outside Xiapi City, Xiahoudun swore an oath with the army, and after a few remarks, he directly led the army under his command to Shouchun.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan didn't know that Lu Bu had already negotiated with Yuan Shu, and the other party, with the support of Yuan Shu, was leading the troops at the same time as Ji Ling and had already arrived at the border of Xuzhou.
When Lu Bu crossed the border of Xuzhou, Ji Ling had already led the army to successfully capture the small border city of Xuzhou.
As for Ji Ling's choice to stay for a while after capturing the border town, Lu Bu didn't care at all.
He crossed the town, and this time he headed straight for Xiapi City.
This kung fu was not long after entering Xuzhou, and when it was in the field, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army in front of him quickly turned back.
"Jun Hou, I found that the Xuzhou army was coming towards the border!"
Visiting the Malay newspaper, the sudden news made Lu Bu a little surprised.
Wrong!
He had just entered Xuzhou, and it was impossible for the Xuzhou defenders to find themselves so quickly.
Coming to yourself?
Lu Bu was a little strange, but in this situation, Lu Bu did not panic in the slightest.
After ordering the Xiliang soldiers to ambush them on the spot, Lu Bu waited for the defenders of Xuzhou without hurry.
Just after noon, Lu Bu saw from a distance on the hillside that the mighty Xuzhou defenders were coming towards this side in the distance.
Just at a glance, Lu Bu could see it.
These Xuzhou defenders who had just come towards him did not have too strict rules and regulations during the march, so much like a miscellaneous army.
Under such circumstances, almost instantly, Lu Bu seized the opportunity to advance.
"Left and right, listen to my orders, and when the army in front advances to Baizhang, the army will rush with me to kill!"
Lu Bu was carrying the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and most of the Xuzhou soldiers in front of him were footsteps!
When it was marching, it didn't even release much of its horses.
Lu Bu naturally will not let go of such an opportunity.
After a while, when Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan walked to the Xiliang army a hundred zhang away, with Lu Bu's killing shout, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the entire mountain forest responded to the ear piercing.
The wind was strong and the sound of horses' hooves was like a rushing river.
In the blink of an eye, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan couldn't react.
Where did the two of them think that there would be a team of ambushes in Xuzhou in front of them.
Because of this, Xiahoudun didn't even send many horses.
In fact, the two never thought that there would be other soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.
And the appearance of soldiers and horses has proved that the entire Xuzhou border has now been lost.
"Brother, there is an ambush!"
The sudden appearance of soldiers and horses made Xiahou Yuan a little anxious!
He never thought that the two of them had not yet attacked Yuan Shu, and the other party had already sent soldiers and horses to attack Xuzhou first!
In fact, when Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou, he defeated several Yuan Shu attacks, so that in the whole of Xuzhou for more than a year, Yuan Shu rarely moved!
Even if Yuan Shu's army is mobilized, it is just outside the border of Xuzhou, just for show!
The two never thought that this kung fu would have a large army to attack Xuzhou.
"Miaocai, let the soldiers not panic, line up on the spot!"
Run!
Where to run?
Behind Xia Houdun and the two of them were endless plains, and what appeared not far in front of them was obviously cavalry!
Now, if you run, the army will not be able to escape far, and it will even be consumed by the cavalry.
The only way to do this is to resist!
It's just that there are some things that Xiahoudun thinks too simply!
Among the soldiers he has gathered now, 6,000 soldiers are all new recruits, and these soldiers who have never been on the battlefield have no discipline at all
The cavalry came in the distance, and these recruits were already broken.
At the first moment, most of them had already dropped their spears and began to flee in all directions.
As these recruits began to spontaneously disperse, even the soldiers and horses with the original Xuzhou defenders and Xiahoudun also panicked.
The army is in disarray.
At that time, Xiahoudun was already uncontrollable.
"Lu Bu, that's Lu Bu!"
When Xiahou shouted to calm down his soldiers, Xiahou Yuan on the side couldn't help but lose his voice a little.
And Lu Bu's name also poured into Xiahoudun's ears.
"Lu Bu?"
Almost instinctively, Xiahoudun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and in the distance of his vision, among the iron horses, a figure was extremely conspicuous.
The red tall horse, dressed in a hundred flower robes on it, and the purple and gold crown of the three-pronged hair on the top of the head fluttered in the wind.
Just at a glance, Xiahoudun's whole pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Lu Bu?
How could this guy appear here now, since Lu Bu is here, then these cavalry in front of him are Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
Almost instantly, Xiahoudun had already sensed that something was wrong.
Just when he lost his mind
Suddenly, a dark arrow in the distance suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
"Ahh
"Yuan Rang, brother!"
Seeing that Xiahoudun suddenly fell from his horse, Xiahouyuan on the side suddenly panicked.
He didn't care about the Xiliang Iron Horse that was rushing from afar, and jumped straight off the horse.
When he landed, Xiahou Yuan had already come to Xiahou Yuan's eyes.
When Xiahou Yuan checked Xiahou Yuan's situation, he raised his eyes and saw a sharp arrow stuck near the other party's forehead, and at this glance, Xiahou Yuan only felt that his heart was clenched.
"Brother!"
After holding Xiahoudun in his arms, Xiahouyuan saw clearly that the sharp arrow in front of him did not shoot into Xiahoudun's forehead, but happened to be inserted in the opponent's right eye.
At this moment, Xiahoudun's face was full of blood red, and the corners of his mouth were still trembling.
"Brother!"
Seeing Xiahou Yuan like this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't care about anything, shouted to the left and right guards, and hurriedly retreated with the beckoning army.
Not far away, Lu Bu's eyes also fell on Xiahoudun and the others, and when he saw the situation of the two of them, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to rush away.
He could see the arrow clearly just now, and it was Cao Xing, who was immediately behind him, who shot out sharply.
Unexpectedly, this arrow really happened to hit the opponent's leader!
However, Cao Xing's strength is a little worse than himself after all, if this arrow is shot by him, I am afraid that the guard who is fleeing in the distance has already been pierced by the sharp arrow!
