The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 151
When Xiahou Dun arrived at Zhongli, Lu Bu had already been gone for two days.

After entering the city, it was Chen Dao who greeted him.

Not seeing Lu Bu, he suddenly remembered Guo Jia's reminder: "Dare to ask General Chen, is Marquis Wen in the city?"

"What a coincidence." Chen Dao replied with a smile, "Marquis Wen went to check outside the city."

Hearing that Lu Bu was going to inspect outside the city, Xiahou Dun breathed a sigh of relief: "How long have you been there? When will you be back?"

"It's been two days." Chen Dao pretended to think about it for a while: "Recently, bandits in Huainan are serious, and Marquis Wen is also concerned about the safety of the place. If General Xiahou has something to do, I will send someone to find him."

"Thank you, General Chen!" Chen Dao's words were to the point, and Xia Houdun felt relieved.

"The general has come from a long way, please enter the city to rest." Chen Dao invited Xiahou Dun to enter the city.

After entering the city, Xiahou Dun found that there were many soldiers in the city.

The soldiers standing along the street held their heads high and their chests high.

They were wearing the armor that Cao Cao dispatched earlier, and they held sharp weapons tightly in their hands.

Although Xiahou Dun was once the commander of the Qingzhou Army, he did not really lead the Qingzhou Army to fight the enemy.

How could he know that the soldiers staying in the city were not Qingzhou Army at all.

The soldiers were all temporarily recruited by Lu Bu when he came to Zhongli.

After just a few days of practice, although they were not yet able to go into battle to kill the enemy, they already had a decent posture on guard.

Passing in front of the soldiers, Xiahou Dun didn't notice anything wrong.

Chen Dao also held the gourd and did not open it, Xiahou Dun did not ask, and he kept silent about the soldiers.

When they arrived at Zhongli, Xiahoudun waited for two or three days, but Lu Bu never came back.

Every day he waited, he felt more anxious.

When Chen Dao was questioned, the answer he got was that he had sent a messenger to look for him, and he didn't know where Lu Bu had gone.

At noon on the third day, Xiahou Dun finally couldn't sit still.

He was about to go out to find Chen Dao, when the guard came to report: "General, General Chen is asking to see you."

Before looking for Chen Dao, he came, Xia Houdun hurriedly ordered: "General Chen, please come in and talk."

He ordered the guard, but he didn't wait in the room either.

Walking out of the room, Xiahoudun saw Chen Dao walking over accompanied by two guards.

"General Chen..." Xiahou Dun greeted.

When Chen Dao returned the salute, he said anxiously, "Why is General Xiahou still here?"

"Where can I be if I'm not here?" Xiahou Dun looked at a loss.

"Marquis Wen sent a messenger back, saying that he has returned to Pengcheng." Chen Dao said, "According to the distance, this meeting should have entered Xuzhou!"

"Since General Chen knew, why didn't he say it earlier?" Xia Houdun questioned Chen Dao with staring eyes in astonishment.

Chen Dao looked aggrieved: "When Marquis Wen was leaving, he said he would return in a few days. I didn't know he was going back to Pengcheng, not Zhongli!"

"There are still many soldiers in the city, isn't he planning to take them away?" Xiahou Dun asked.

"Soldier?" Chen Dao asked in surprise, "Why did he take the soldier away?"

"The Qingzhou army has made great contributions in Huainan, is it possible that he still wants to keep some people here?" Xia Houdun asked in the same astonishment.

"Where is the Qingzhou Army?" Chen Dao was even more at a loss.

"Could it be the Huainan army in the city?" Xiahoudun felt that his brain was about to shut down, and with his IQ, he really couldn't figure out what happened.

"Marquis Wen came to Zhongli and asked me to recruit some recruits." Chen Dao replied honestly, "The Qingzhou army is all warriors who have been brought back to Xuzhou by him. Those who stay here are newly recruited soldiers! "

When he explained this, Xia Houdun just felt dizzy.

It's over!It was really hit by Guo Fengxiao!
Perhaps Lu Bu had already guessed that he was coming, so he quietly took the Qingzhou army away without giving him a chance to meet.

Knowing that Lu Bu was avoiding him, Xiahou Dun didn't intend to let it go.

Debt collection has to look like a debt collection!

Since Lu Bu wanted to renege on his debt, he had to catch up and ask.

At least ask him face to face, leaving him speechless!

With a plan in mind, Xiahou Dun greeted the guards: "Let's go!"

While greeting the guards, he made a plan for Chen Daohui to stop him.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Dao not only didn't stop him, but took the initiative to say: "I'll send General Xiahou!"

Glancing at Chen Dao in astonishment, Xiahou Dun replied, "I'm sorry, General Chen."

Chen Dao sent Xiahou Dun out of Zhongli City Gate.

When Xiahou Dun jumped on his horse, he waved his hands and said, "General Xiahou, when you pass by here, don't forget to come and stay in Zhongli City for two days."

Xiahou Dun answered, but his forehead was full of black lines.

Chen Dao's posture didn't look like he was sending him out of the city, it was like a villager in the countryside sending off his friends.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to say hello, and invite friends to come to my house next time they pass by!
Riding his horse and galloping, Xiahou Dun led the guards towards Pengcheng.

Before he came to Zhongli, Lu Bu had already left for two days.

Counting the three days of delay, five or six days have passed.

Although Xiahou Dun chased him all the way, he finally caught up with Lu Bu on the outskirts of Pengcheng.

After receiving the news that Xiahou Dun was catching up, Lu Bu seemed very enthusiastic.

He ordered Zhang Liao to lead the troops into the city, while he himself, accompanied by Zhao Yun, galloped towards Xiahou Dun.

When they were far away, Lu Bu greeted with a smile all over his face: "Why is General Yuan Rang here?"

"Marquis Wen defeated Shouchun, of course I'm here to congratulate you." Xiahou Dun replied, and then said: "Huainan has been captured, so Qingzhou Army..."

"The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army are very good." Lu Bu knew what he was going to say, and quickly cut off the conversation: "Since the battle in Huainan, the morale of the soldiers has been like a rainbow. If there is another big battle in the future, there is no need to mobilize at all."

"I'm not talking about the morale of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, I'm talking about..." Xiahoudun felt very uncomfortable when he was blocked.

"Pengcheng is ahead, and we can wait until we enter the city to discuss other matters." Lu Bu interrupted him again: "General Yuan Rang is full of travel and dust, and it seems that he has suffered a lot along the way. Although Pengcheng is poor, he can still buy some wine and meat. At that time, I will General, please have a good drink or two!"

"Marquis Wen..." Lu Bu greeted Xiahou Dun to enter the city, but Xiahou Dun was still trying to explain why he came.

Knowing what he came for, if he could delay for a while, Lu Bu would never give him a chance to speak.

"Yuan Rang is indeed Mr. Cao's thigh." Lu Bu said, "At this moment, he is still outside the city, so he won't understand what he is saying. Why don't you and I go to the city? I'll have someone arrange a banquet and we'll talk about it in detail."

He told Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you will supervise the banquet yourself. You must choose the best wine and bring more meat."

Zhao Yun agreed, and said to Xiahou Dun: "General Xiahou, since you have come to Pengcheng, and Wenhou sincerely invites you, why don't you wait until you enter the city if you have something to say?"
