The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 191
Of course Yan Xiang knew what happened, but how could he tell Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan?
He said to Xiahou Dun, "Perhaps Shouchun was too close, and the two generals stopped Zhou Yu, so there was no news from the city."

This explanation is really far-fetched, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan certainly don't believe it.

Xia Houyuan said: "It's okay to say that there is no news from Shouchun, but why didn't any of the scouts we sent back come back?"

Yan Xiang frowned and thought for a while: "This is not clear, could it be that the scouts were ambushed halfway?"

Feeling that he was covering up something, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan looked at each other.

The two didn't ask more questions.

Xiahou Dun said: "Please Yan Gong to come here, just to ask when Wen Hou will arrive. I wonder if Yan Gong has any definite news?"

"I'm here, and all the news was sent by the scouts of the two generals." Yan Xiang replied: "The two generals didn't get the exact news, where did I get it?"

"Since Lord Yan didn't get the news, we won't delay you." Xiahou Dun said, "Our brothers will go to inspect the barracks first, and please take care of the military chores."

"Two generals, don't worry." Yan Xiang replied, "I will do my best."

Yan Xiang resigned and left, Xiahou Dun looked at his back: "Does Miao Cai think he is weird?"

"I have long thought that there is something wrong with him." Xia Houyuan said: "There has been no news about Shouchun, which made me very uneasy. I originally wanted to discuss with my brother whether I should leave here and return to Shouchun. Now that Lu Bu is back, why don't you go back to Shouchun?" Defeat Zhou Yu, and it won't be too late to go back."

"Miaocai's idea coincides with mine." Xiahou Dun nodded: "I also think this is appropriate."

The two brothers became suspicious of Yan Xiang. That afternoon, the scouts sent a message to Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan.

Not far from Bagong Mountain, many battle flags suddenly appeared.

Judging from the color of the battle flag, it should belong to Lu Bu's army.

Hearing that Lu Bu's battle flag appeared at the foot of Bagong Mountain, the two brothers quickly ordered the scouts to take them to watch.

Bagong Mountain is overgrown with vegetation, hiding in the forest, and it is impossible to see where they are from the outside.

It's not that Zhou Yu never thought of burning Bagong Mountain.

But this mountain is different from the cherry blossom forest burned by Lu Bu.

Although the hills are not high, they are connected to each other. There are clear springs and streams on many mountains. Even if a fire is set, the water source on the mountains is enough to extinguish the large fires.

Even if the entire Bagong Mountain was burnt bald, the damage to Xiahou Dun and others would be extremely limited.

The terrain determined that setting fire was useless, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up.

The scouts led Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to the edge of the forest, and he pointed to the distance: "Two generals, Lu Bu's army is right there."

The direction he pointed was the only way to go to Lujiang, and Lu Bu should indeed appear there when he came back.

Looking at the faintly floating battle flag in the distance, Xiahoudun asked Xiahouyuan: "What does Miaocai think?"

"The news sent back by the scouts said that Lu Bu defeated Sun Ce, and Sun Ce had already led his army to retreat in the direction of Wancheng, but Lu Bu did not pursue him, but instead turned to Shouchun." Xia Houyuan said: "Considering the schedule, he probably won't come. So soon."

"Could it be the vanguard he sent?" Xiahou Dun said: "We have been confronting Zhou Yu these days. We all know that with this number of people, it is impossible to be his opponent. Today's Lu Bu is not bad at using troops. He How could you not see these?"

"Brother, what do you mean, Lu Bu first sent a vanguard back to rescue Zhou Yu, and we have to wait for his army to come to annihilate Zhou Yu?" Xia Houyuan asked.

"If that's the case, wouldn't all the credit be taken away by him?" Xiahou Dun shook his head: "We can't let this happen."

"What do you plan to do, brother?" Xia Houyuan asked.

"Since their vanguards are here, let's find something for them to do." Xiahou Dun said, "I plan to lead my troops out of the forest, join them, and attack Zhou Yu together."

"I don't know how many troops they have come. Is it too risky for our army to attack?" Xia Houyuan didn't agree with Xiahou Dun's approach.

But Xiahoudun thought that when the opportunity came, he had to seize it. He said to Xiahouyuan: "There is no news about Shouchun, so Miaocai doesn't think it's strange?"

"Of course I feel strange." Xia Houyuan frowned: "It is precisely because I feel strange that I think we should hold our ground and wait for the development of the situation first."

"To be honest with Miaocai, I always feel that Lu Bu has done something behind our backs." Xiahou Dun's face was not very good-looking: "When Zhou Yu is defeated, I will lead my troops back to Shouchun. If he really takes advantage of our absence and kills Shouchun How, I still don't believe that he dares to prevent us from returning to the city."

What Xiahou Dun said made sense, and Xiahouyuan was also worried that Shouchun would be taken secretly by Lu Bu.

He said to Xiahou Dun: "I am willing to obey my brother's military order!"

"Order, tell the soldiers to prepare their weapons and follow me to meet Lu Fengxian's vanguard tonight." Xiahou Dun issued an order to the soldiers next to him.

The order was conveyed to the army.

Living on the mountain for several days, the soldiers dared not even start a fire every day.

I can only eat cold food every day, which is really not uncomfortable.

Some even grew weary of camping in the mountains.

When they got the order to go down the mountain, the soldiers immediately got excited, and soon prepared their weapons and armor, ready to follow Brother Xiahou down the mountain at any time.

The lieutenant soldiers were preparing weapons and armor, and Yan Xiang hurried over after getting the news.

Seeing Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Yan Xiang asked: "I heard that the two generals plan to lead troops to attack. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Yes!" Xiahou Dun replied with certainty: "The scouts reported that there was a Marquis Wen's army at the foot of the mountain. Now that reinforcements have arrived, if we still stick to the mountain, wouldn't we just sit back and watch the credit slip away?"

"Wen Hou is indeed returning to Shouchun, but the journey will definitely not be so fast." Yan Xiang said: "The two generals must be careful, in case it is a trap set by Zhou Yu..."

"We won't be able to stop Zhou Yu from attacking Bagong Mountain for long." Xiahou Dun replied, "Why does he need to expend all his efforts? I think the news from the mountain should be true."

"The situation is complicated, the two generals, please think twice." Yan Xiang said: "If it is a trap set by Zhou Yu, once the two generals are ambushed by him, Shouchun will be completely exposed in front of him. Shouchun's defenders have How much, the two generals should be very clear. Once Shouchun is lost, even if Marquis Wen returns, he will be in a hard fight. When Sun Ce leads his troops back, the battle will be against our army!"

"I've thought about everything Yan Gong said." Xia Houdun didn't listen to dissuasion at all: "Just don't worry, if anything happens, I will fully bear it!"
