Chapter 193

When Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan came to Shouchun, Zhang Liao did not show up.

It wasn't until they left that Zhang Liao came to Yan Xiang's side.

Looking at the backs of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, he said that Shouchun belonged to them.

Yan Xiang shook his head: "Shouchun belongs to us, but whether we can sit still is not certain."

Zhang Liao asked in surprise, "Could Zhou Yu still be able to destroy Shouchun City?"

"It's not Zhou Yu, but Cao Cao." Yan Xiang said: "Cao Cao is giving way to Marquis Wen, not because he doesn't want to take Marquis Wen down, but because it's not yet time for him to take it down."

"Is Cao Cao waiting for the Yuan family in Hebei?" Zhang Liao asked suddenly.

Yan Xiang nodded: "Neither Xuzhou nor Huainan are safe places..."

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were defeated by Zhou Tai, and Lu Bu led the army to march towards Shouchun.

Before Shouchun was still some distance away, Lu Bu got the news that Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were ambushed by Zhou Tai.

He was thinking about how to drive the two of them away after defeating Zhou Yu.

On the contrary, Zhou Tai helped him a lot.

Not only was Lu Bu not worried at all when he received the news of Cao Jun's defeat, but he also felt refreshed.

Zhou Yu's troops only had 5000 people.

Sun Ce and Zhang Zhao's tens of thousands of horses were all driven to Wancheng by him. Zhou Yu, who had only 5000 people, should be taken seriously?
It took half a day to reach Shouchun, so Lu Bu chose an open place to camp.

In the middle of the night, Lu Bu, who had removed his armor, walked out of the tent.

From time to time, one or two teams of night watchmen would pass by the barracks.

"Marquis Wen hasn't slept yet?" Standing on the open space, looking up at the starry sky, Zhao Yun's voice came from behind Lu Bu.

"Why didn't Zilong fall asleep?" He turned around and asked.

"Shuzhi and I are on duty in the middle of the night." Zhao Yun replied, "Shuzhi and I are on duty in the first half of the night, and Shuzhi is in the second half of the night. Soon after, Shuzhi will take my place."

"Does Zilong feel that the stars are particularly bright tonight?" Lu Bu looked up at the sky again: "The night sky is much more beautiful than before."

"It's not that the night sky is beautiful, but that Marquis Wen is in a good mood." Zhao Yun said, "Since we came to Huainan, we have won many battles. If we are in a bad mood, something is wrong."

"Fighting and winning..." Lu Bu shook his head, "I have fought so many battles, but I feel like I haven't gained anything."

"It is said that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan have left Huainan, and that Shouchun fell into the hands of Marquis Wen. Isn't it a good thing?" Zhao Yun said: "The people who followed Marquis Wen to Zhongli can return to Shouchun in a short time. Marquis Wen is in the hearts of the army and the people. The status in the middle will be raised even more.”

"But I don't want these benefits." Lu Bu said: "Money and food can be obtained, and the population can also be increased through childbearing. But where can I get talents? Conquering the world, we can't just fight back and forth ?”

"Marquis Wen means..." Zhao Yun seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

"Talents who strategize and win thousands of miles away." Lu Bu said, "I only have Chen Gongtai by my side. It is obviously not enough to survive in troubled times!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen. When the reputation is higher in the future, there will naturally be talents to vote for." Zhao Yun reassured.

"When will we have to wait?" Lu Bu turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yun: "Actually, there is one in front of me. I wonder if we can catch him!"

"What Marquis Wen said is..." Zhao Yun seemed to understand.

He probably guessed who Lu Bu was talking about, but he didn't dare to ask.

After all, that person has an extraordinary relationship with Sun Ce.

Even if Lu Bu captures him, it may not necessarily make him serve with all his heart.

"Zhou Gongjin." Lu Bu said: "Jiangdong Zhou Lang has a great reputation, and the so-called reputation must be full of people. If you can get him..."

"It is said that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have an unusual relationship. Even if he is captured, he will not join Marquis Wen." Zhao Yun shook his head. "I think it would be better to kill a person like this, so as not to become a disaster in the future."

"The reason for being loyal is because your beliefs have not been broken." Lu Bu said, "If I can make him fight and lose repeatedly, and there is no way out, does Zilong think he will vote for me?"

"Marquis Wen means..." Zhao Yun was confused.

"Has Zilong ever seen a cat catch a mouse?" Lu Bu asked.

"I really didn't pay attention to it." Zhao Yun shook his head.

"A cat catching a mouse means catching it and playing with it. It's almost time to let it go." Lu Bu said: "In the end, the cat is not tired of playing, but the mouse has no belief in running away. Until then, the cat will eat it." .”

"Zhou Gongjin is not an ordinary character." Zhao Yun reminded: "Wen Hou fights with him, it's better to be careful."

"When he is still strong, of course I will be more careful." Lu Bu said: "Tomorrow we are close to Shouchun, and Zhou Gongjin will definitely attack. He has to suffer."

"Zhou Gongjin is not Sun Ce." Zhao Yun replied, "I'm worried that he has already made arrangements at this time."

"So what if the deployment is done well?" Lu Bu smiled slightly: "When the battle starts, I will lead the army to charge, and you and uncle will go to the rear. No matter what Zhou Gongjin plans, we will use a method to deal with him."

"May I ask Marquis Wen what is the solution?" Zhao Yun asked.

"The army stayed behind and stood still, using a small number of troops to attack and seize the commander!" Lu Bu replied, "It is said that there is Zhou Tai beside him, I will capture Zhou Tai first, and see what he can do in the future. "

"If Marquis Wen can really capture Zhou Tai, it will be like cutting off one of Zhou Yu's arms." Zhao Yun replied, "It is really possible to play with Zhou Yu like a cat catching a mouse."

"It's getting late, Marquis Wen will go to battle in person tomorrow, please go back early and rest." Zhao Yun reminded again.

Lu Bu replied: "When Shuzhi comes to take over, Zilong will also rest well. I think there will be a big battle tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I will." Zhao Yun agreed, sent Lu Bu outside the tent before turning and leaving.

Lu Bu went to bed very late, and Zhou Yu was not idle either.

The commander of the Jiangdong Army.

Oil lamps were lit in the tent, and Zhou Yu and several generals were discussing a strategy for fighting Lu Bu.

"Youping ambushed Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan and fought very well." Zhou Yu said: "The two of them went to Shouchun, but they were turned away. They had nowhere to go, so they had to return to Xudu. Now only us and Lu Bu are left in Huainan .”

"If Bo Fu is still in Huainan, we have a good chance of winning." Zhou Tai said: "With our small number of people, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fight."

"Didn't General Zhou think about taking Shouchun?" Ling Cao said to Zhou Yu, "If our army captures Shouchun, we can enter the city and defend it. It is better to defend the city than to fight against Lu Bu in the wild. "
