The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 123 It's a win no matter what

Zhao Yun, who left Zhongli with 500 people, did not know that Lu Bu and Xun You made a bet for him.

If he failed to stop Lei Bo and Chen Lan from robbing supplies, Xun You would no longer provide any support to the army.

If he really manages to intercept 500 enemy troops with just [-] men and get the heads of two of them, Xun You will mediate the same amount of ordnance for the army.

Cao Cao is entrenched in Henan and has been committed to conquering the Central Plains.

Although Zhao Yun joined Gongsun Zan in the early years, he was never reused, and his reputation was not very great.

Voted under Lu Bu's command, he once led people into Shouchun blatantly, robbed Ji Ling and Yan Xiang's family members and retreated.

That battle was related to the face of Huainan, and of course it would be kept secret.

As for Xuzhou, no matter how Lu Bu promotes Zhao Yun's ability, Xun You will put a big question mark on it.

After all, there are too many benefits for Lu Bu to promote Zhao Yun's ability!

The two made a bet, but Zhao Yun invisibly shouldered a lot of responsibilities.

Take back the heads of Lei Bo and Chen Lan, and the army will get more benefits from Xun You.

In case the armaments, food and grass were taken away by the enemy, Lu Bu had to lead the soldiers with outdated armor and lack of rations to attack Shouchun.

Two different results determine the life and death of soldiers of the armed forces.

Lu Bu bet the fate of him and the soldiers of the three armies on Zhao Yun.

However, Zhao Yun didn't know anything about it.

Although Zhao Yun, who had taken people away, didn't know about it, the bet between Lu Bu and Xun You quickly spread in Zhongli City.

Everyone who hears about it has a different opinion.

At nightfall, Lu Bu was about to leave the city wall when Zhang Liao, who was in charge of night defense, came forward.

"Marquis Wen." Zhang Liao greeted him.

"Wenyuan worked hard at night." Lu Bu nodded.

He was about to leave when Zhang Liao said, "I heard that Marquis Wen made a bet with Xun Gongda."

"There is such a thing." Lu Bu turned his head and smiled: "Why? Even you know?"

"It's not just me who knows." Zhang Liao replied, "It has already been spread in the army, even the cook has heard about it."

"What do the soldiers think?" Looking around twice, Lu Bu seemed to be worried that someone might overhear them: "Do you think I got a lot of benefits from Xun Gongda again?"

He used the word "cheat" unequivocally, apparently planning to dig a hole for Xun You to jump into before making a bet.

Zhang Liao also knew that Zhao Yun had killed back and forth in Shouchun.

But he is not as confident as Lu Bu.

The battlefield is complicated and the situation is changing rapidly. Even if Zhao Yun is brave enough to win the three armies, there is no guarantee that he will win and never lose.

What's more, Xun You owed Lu Bu a batch of supplies if he had to take back the heads of Lei Bu and Chen Lan.

"Wen Hou trusts Zilong, I don't think it's wrong." Zhang Liao said: "It's just that the stakes are too high, in case Zilong is a little careless..."

"Zilong is more stable than me, so how could he be careless?" Lu Bu smiled and shook his head, then lightly patted Zhang Liao's arm: "If it's Wenyuan instead of him, I would dare to make the same bet with others." Win or lose!"

Zhang Liao was speechless at what he said.

In fairness, Lei Bo and Chen Lan are just third-rate generals.

If it weren't for the lack of talents in Huainan, they would have little chance of being reused.

Zhang Liao thought to himself, if he was the one who went there instead of Zhao Yun, he would be almost [-]% sure to get their heads back.

Although he knew Zhao Yun's abilities, but he didn't do things by himself, Zhang Liao always felt unsafe.

He was planning to say a few more words, but Lu Bu blocked him with one sentence.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to reply: "What Wen Hou said is true!"

"I believe in you, and you have to believe in me." Lu Bu showed him a candid smile: "We have gone through countless hardships, and we have overcome them together. What else can't we bear together?"

Lu Bu raised his face and looked at the dots of stars in the night sky: "I believe in Zilong's ability, and I'm just making a bet with others. I'm sure I will win, but what if I lose?"

Looking back at Zhang Liao's face, Lu Bu smiled casually: "If you really lose the bet, it's just some supplies. Whatever Lei Bu and Chen Lan snatched away, I'll take you to snatch them back. Soldiers follow me , I will not let them go hungry. It is even more impossible to take them into battle wearing broken armor and holding rusted weapons."

When he got to this point, Zhang Liao couldn't say much more.

"I was thinking too much, Marquis Wen, forgive me!" Zhang Liao bowed and apologized: "It's getting late, Marquis Wen has worked hard all day, please rest earlier."

Patting his arm lightly again, Lu Bu turned and went down the city wall.

Looking at his back, Zhang Liao had mixed feelings in his heart.

At that time, he followed Lv Bu admiringly, thinking that he was the most brave in the world, and he must be straightforward, but at that time, Zhang Liao found more and more that Lv Bu's temperament was far from what he imagined.

At that time, Lu Bu was not only self-willed, but also difficult to get along with others.

There are many generals under his command, but most of them are alienated from morality, so that Wei Xu and others who he reused turned their backs in the battle of Xiapi, and almost captured him and dedicated him to Cao Cao.

The battle of Xiapi suffered repeated setbacks, and Zhang Liao was also desperate.

He was almost ready to die.

However, one day, Lu Bu seemed to have suddenly changed himself, and invited Chen Gong, Gao Shun and him to be secret merchants to deal with the rebellion that Wei Xu and others would launch.

It was also from that day that Zhang Liao found that Lu Bu seemed to be a different person.

He is no longer self-willed and difficult to get along with. Many times, the trust he shows in his generals even surpasses their self-confidence!

Especially after Lu Bu returned to his youth, he saw the high-spirited and domineering spirit of a young general.

Follow such a lord, even if you die in battle, this life is worth it!

Lu Bu left the city wall, Zhang Liao stayed behind to watch the night.

Xun You's room in Zhongli's official residence.

Xu Huang pursed his lips in contempt: "I think Lu Fengxian is crazy, to dare to make such a bet with Gongda."

"Does General Gongming think he is doomed?" Xun You asked with a smile.

"Five hundred versus five thousand, so what if Lu Fengxian goes in person?" Xu Huang said, "If Lei Bu and Chen Lan are unprepared, it's hard to say whether it will be possible. Since they know that it is Lu Fengxian who is coming, how can they not come?" Be careful? Killing them is easier said than done?"

"I have the same opinion as the general." Xun You replied, "No matter what the result is, it will be Lu Fengxian who wins in the end."

Xu Huang looked at Xun You in confusion.

He didn't want to understand what benefit Lu Bu could get if he lost the bet.

"If he wins the bet, I don't need to tell you the benefits. Everyone can understand it." Xun You said, "Even if he loses the bet, as long as he personally leads the troops to chase after him, the weapons and rations can still be taken back. Although I am missing The benefits of losing to him, but he won the determination of the generals under his command to swear allegiance to the death!"
