The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 124 The title of general is nothing

I don't know that Lu Bu brought five hundred soldiers to meet Zhao Yun for his bet with Xun You.

It has been many days since Cao Jun, who delivered supplies, left Xudu.

They have already entered the boundary of Xuzhou.

Originally, as long as the weapons, armor, food and grass were sent to Pengcheng, their mission would be completed.

However, Xun You suddenly sent a letter asking them to send the supplies to Zhongli.

After traveling for many days, both the escorting soldiers and the civilian husbands who drove the car were exhausted.

The team entered Huainan and advanced towards Zhongli at an extremely slow speed.

Cao Cao also attached great importance to the conquest of Huainan. The general Cao Jun who was in charge of escorting was Li Dian, who had served under his command when he recruited rebels in Chenliu.

While walking, Li Dian saw a group of people appearing in front of him.

The team came galloping.

The horseshoes stepped on the dry yellow earth, raising waves of smoke and dust.

Li Dian stopped and raised his hand: "Someone is coming, the soldiers are on alert!"

Cao Jun, who was escorting the supplies, immediately stepped forward and formed a defensive formation against the quickly approaching troops.

It was Zhao Yun who came head-on.

Seeing Cao Jun escorting the rations from a distance, he urged his horse to go forward.

"Stop coming!" The captain behind Li Dian stepped forward and shouted: "Report your name and affiliation, so as not to stir up disputes for no reason!"

As he approached, Zhao Yun reined in his horse and stopped: "I am Changshan Zhao Yun, and now I am working in front of Lu Wenhou's tent!"

"Who is under Lu Fengxian's command, I know very well." Li Dian looked at him: "Why have I never heard of someone like you?"

"I'm just an unnamed general who has recently joined Marquis Wen. It's normal that no one has heard of it." Zhao Yun responded lightly.

Since joining Lu Bu, Zhao Yun has been reused.

To say he is an unnamed general is just self-effacing.

But Li Dian was honest, and he nodded in response: "No wonder I never heard of it."

Zhao Yun's head was immediately covered in black lines.

The guy in front of him looks a bit shrewd, but his brain is really not very bright, and he can't even recognize humility.

"How can you prove that you are Lu Fengxian's general!" Although Li Dian was sincere, he was not a fool. He then asked Zhao Yun.

He untied a wooden sign from his waist, and Zhao Yun handed it to the school next to him.

The little school stepped forward and handed over the wooden sign to Li Dian's lieutenant general.

After receiving the badge handed over by the lieutenant general, Li Dian took a look at the words written on it: "It's still Lu Fengxian who is under General Fubo!"

Handing the badge to the lieutenant general, Li Dian looked at Zhao Yun: "If it wasn't for the lack of recognition from the court under Lu Fengxian's command, General Fubo's official position is not small!"

"It's just a false title." Zhao Yun replied, "The world is in such chaos that even bandits dare to call themselves generals. Now the title of general is nothing."

There was sarcasm in Zhao Yun's words, making it clear that although Li Dian's title of general was recognized by the court, it was not much different from that of a bandit.

However, Li Dian didn't realize it, instead he laughed: "I like your personality!"

Zhao Yun felt helpless for a while.

When I met such a master who couldn't understand any good words, no matter what I said about him, I'm afraid it would be like punching a sack with a fist, and I couldn't even use the slightest strength.

"Seeing that Zhongli is not far away, why did Lu Fengxian send you here?" Li Dian asked after verifying Zhao Yun's identity.

"Shouchun left two people and brought out five thousand Huainan troops. Marquis Wen was worried that they would be bad for the weapons and rations, so he specially sent me to protect them!"

Glancing at the soldiers following Zhao Yun, Li Dian dismissed his lips indifferently: "He has five thousand soldiers and horses. With your numbers, what can we do even if we come? I think Lu Fengxian is just unnecessary!"

Belittled by Li Dian, Zhao Yun didn't argue: "It's only three or four days away from Zhongli, so please hurry up, General."

There might be five thousand Huainan troops intercepting supplies at any time, Li Dian did not dare to underestimate them, and immediately ordered to advance faster.

That night, they chose a place backed by hills to station.

There is a wide avenue ahead, and high hills behind. Even if Lei Bo and Chen Lan come, they can only attack from the front.

The troops escorting food and grass were stationed, and the soldiers under Zhao Yun and Li Dian were on guard, while the civilian husbands set up their tents after setting up the carts.

Tents appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the temporary camp was being built little by little.

Zhao Yun patrolled around the camp with two entourages.

Although Lei Bo and Chen Lan were only third-rate military generals, they brought a lot of soldiers and horses after all.

Be careful anyway.

"General Zhao!" Li Dian's greeting came from behind, Zhao Yun stopped and turned his head.

Li Dian walked over quickly: "The guards of the soldiers are already very strict, why is General Zhao still inspecting himself?"

"Wen Hou asked me to come to meet him, of course I don't want any mistakes." Zhao Yun replied: "General Li just rest, I will take care of you here."

Although Zhao Yun's identity had been verified, Li Dian did not fully trust him.

He came to talk to Zhao Yun to confirm whether he was patrolling or secretly deploying something.

"I have been following Duke Cao for a long time, and I often go out to fight, and I don't sleep much every day." Li Dian replied, "It's still early, why don't I accompany the general to check around."

Although Zhao Yun is brave, he is not a reckless man.

He could still understand Li Dian's thoughts.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he immediately agreed to Li Dian's proposal.

The two of them walked around the camp, and the civilian husband had already set up the camp.

"It seems that no one will come to rob the camp tonight." Li Dian looked into the dark distance.

"It's not Zhongli yet, so it's best to be cautious." Zhao Yun replied, "Hou Wen asked me to come here on purpose, it's not unreasonable."

"If you say that Lu Fengxian really has some skills." Li Dian smiled lightly, with a slight contempt in his smile: "He was able to persuade Duke Cao to send so many soldiers and food."

"Wars are always exhausting. Soldiers can't go to the battlefield empty-handed and hungry." Li Dian's attitude made Zhao Yun feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't contradict him face-to-face, but responded calmly.

The soldiers and civilian husbands got into the tents one after another, and soon the camp was quiet.

The wilderness under the night is very quiet, so quiet that it even makes people feel suffocated.

Back in the tent, Zhao Yun still didn't feel sleepy.

He didn't even take off his armor, and even ordered his soldiers not to take off their armor at night.

The inside and outside of the camp were very quiet. Before going to bed, Li Dian specially asked a few guards to keep an eye on Zhao Yun and the soldiers he brought.

No one knows that the most dangerous enemies are often hidden under the quiet night.

Only two or three miles away from the camp, thousands of Huainan troops were dormant in the deep grass.

Lei Bu and Chen Lan sat side by side, their eyes looked into the distance, as if they were waiting for something.

"Here we come!" There was a rustling sound from the grass not far away, and Chen Lan whispered to Lei Bu.
