The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 413 Cavalry Ambush
Decided to lead the cavalry back to fight Cao Jun, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were ready to fight back at any time.

While getting ready, the Xuzhou army showed no sign of stopping.

They continued to march forward, but the speed of marching was a little slower than before. If they didn't pay attention, they wouldn't notice any difference at all.

The Cao army led by Yu Jin stopped, and the scouts they sent waited and watched the movements of the Xuzhou army.

The scout returned to the army and reported to Yu Jin that the Xuzhou army had no intention of stopping at all and was still marching forward.

When he was rewarded, Yu Jin asked Xun You, "What does Gongda think we should do?"

Xun You frowned slightly, and said to Jin: "Just judging from the current situation, it seems that Lu Bu has no plans to turn around and fight us. But from these alone, it is impossible to see what plans he has."

"Does Gongda still think that Lu Bu intends to turn around and kill us?" Yu Jin said, "If we continue like this, they will leave our sight in a short time."

"Wait a little longer and see where they are stationed at night." Yu Jin was a little anxious, but Xun You still held his breath and advised him to wait a little longer. "

Of course, the news brought back by the scouts could not be passed on to Yu Jin only. Not long after, Cao Ren and others who got the news came to Yu Jin again.

"Gongda made a plan earlier, saying that Lü Bu is going to stop, and we will wait here." Cao Ren said, "If he returns from leading the army, we will retreat to Zhe City. Now that they continue to move forward, don't we? Do you want to waste time here? If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that Lu Bu will leave our sight. My lord wants us to guard Zhecheng, but we let Lu Bu pass by, no matter what, it's unjustifiable."

"General Zixiao, don't worry." Xun You said to him, "Although Lv Bu is leading the army to move forward, we don't know whether he has any plans for the next step. Why can't we wait until night to see where they are stationed before going forward?" Make a decision to go forward or to retreat?"

"Following the enemy army, of course, the closer the better." Cao Ren said, "If we let Lu Bu leave, I won't give any explanation when we see the Lord in the future."

Except for Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan's faces were also not very good-looking, but they maintained restraint and did not openly contradict Xun You.

From the expressions of the generals, Xun You could see that if the army was not allowed to move forward, they might not be recognized by everyone.

He said to the generals: "It's not impossible to move forward, but we have to allocate a vanguard to go ahead..."

"Losing Lu Menting, I am ashamed of my lord." Xiahou Dun said: "I need a pioneer, and I am willing to bear it."

Xiahoudun was willing to be the vanguard, and Xun You nodded and said, "In that case, please General Yuan Rang lead three thousand soldiers to follow Lu Bu in front. The generals and I will follow behind. In this way, if Lu Bu makes any move, we will be able to follow Lu Bu." Respond promptly."

"Then I'll go first!" With Xun You's appointment, Xiahou Dun bowed his hands to the crowd without further delay, and turned to leave Yu Jin's tent.

"If I knew I had to continue marching, I shouldn't have asked the soldiers to set up the camp first." Yu Jin said: "Send the order, let the soldiers get ready and follow Lu Bu with me."

After the military order was issued, Cao Jun, who had just set up camp, felt annoyed one by one.

They thought that they would not continue to move forward after they settled down, but they didn't expect to give the order to move on before resting for a long time.

The Cao Jun soldiers who received the order grumbled one by one, expressing their dissatisfaction with the easy change of the military order, but they had no choice but to carry it out.

When the soldiers put away their tents, Xiahou Dun had already gone far with three thousand soldiers and horses.

He and Zhao Yun had already planned to fight back. When Lu Bu learned of Cao Jun's movements, he also had some shakes in the previous arrangement.

Before he could send someone to invite Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu had already come to him.

"Did Gongjin get the news that Cao's army had changed their deployment?" Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu.

"Indeed, I got the news." Zhou Yu replied, and then asked Lu Bu, "May I ask Marquis Chu what his plans are?"

"What plans can I have?" Lu Bu said, "I'm just thinking, what should I do to completely annihilate the Cao army following behind?"

"General Zhao has already said earlier that as long as the cavalry turn their heads back, they can defeat the enemy." Zhou Yu said, "But this time the enemy sent Xiahou Dun as a vanguard to follow behind our army. Once Chuhou turns back, he will definitely meet Xiahou Dun. The vanguard of Cao's army is fighting with our army, and their follow-up army should stop immediately."

"Wouldn't they come to rescue the vanguard?" Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Wouldn't that make Xiahou Dun and his Cao army come to die?"

"Xiahoudun and the Cao army he led were originally here to die." Zhou Yu replied: "Xun You didn't believe that we would ignore them at all. What he wanted was to follow us to Xudu, and then give us a hand outside Xudu. Cause trouble. With the enemy's strength, they are simply not enough to fight us here."

"Does Gongjin have a suitable way to deal with the enemy?" Lu Bu asked, "At least let them not know that we will have cavalry to fight back."

"Of course there is." Zhou Yu replied: "Since they want to follow us, they should wait until dark, when Chuhou and General Zhao lead the cavalry to hibernate, and let Xiahou Dun and the enemy vanguard led by him go. Where our army is not far away, I will send soldiers to meet it. Chu Hou and General Zhao just need to lead the cavalry to kill the enemy's main formation."

Speaking of this, he added another sentence: "Regardless of whether the cavalry and the enemy are fighting smoothly, Chu Hou and General Zhao should not love to fight. After charging past, just line up not far behind them and block their retreat."

"Gongjin intends to wipe out the enemy army?" Lu Bu asked.

"Either don't fight, since we want to fight, of course we have to wipe out the enemy army." Zhou Yu said: "Whether this enemy army can be wiped out depends mainly on Chuhou and General Zhao."

"I understand Gongjin's plan." Lu Bu nodded, "Although I also want to have a good fight with the enemy, but for the sake of the overall situation, I will bear it and only lead a cavalry charge with Zilong."

"Hard work, Marquis Chu." Zhou Yu bowed to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu replied: "Gong Jin and the generals are also working hard. Today's battle is about whether there will be enemy troops behind us. I hope Gong Jin must be careful."

"Don't worry, Marquis Chu." Zhou Yu replied, "Guanbao will not let Cao Jun get away too much."

When they talked about turning back and fighting, the sky had not yet darkened.

The army continued to move forward, while scouts sent news about Cao Jun behind them.

Every time he got news, Lu Bu would not ask too many questions.

Now that he has decided to wipe out the Cao army behind him, there is no point in asking more and less.

The soldiers pushed forward for more than ten miles, and the sun finally fell below the horizon, but there was still a bloody glow in the distant sky.

Just as Lu Bu was about to order the soldiers to stop, Zhou Yu, who was following him, reminded in a low voice: "It's not time to be stationed yet, please Marquis Chu lead the soldiers to move on."

Looking at Zhou Yu suspiciously, Lu Bu asked, "The sky is about to darken, so why don't we order to be stationed?"

"Of course not." Zhou Yu replied: "Since it's a march, it must look like a march. Our army is eager to rush to Xudu, and of course we were on the way in the middle of the night."

Zhou Yu responded like this, and Lu Bu couldn't say anything more, so he had to lead the army to move on.

Sun Ce, who was by Lu Bu's side, asked in a low voice, "When the Marquis of Chu turns back to fight later, can you take me with you?"

"I will go with Zilong, what are you going to do?" Lu Bu said, "You will stay in the army and lead the Jiefan soldiers. If the battle is even slightly unfavorable to our army, you will immediately lead the Jiefan soldiers to rescue the siege."

"Our army is far more numerous than the enemy's." Sun Ce replied, "I feel that there is no need to relieve troublesome soldiers in today's fight."

"Xiefanbing is the elite around me." Lu Bu smiled slightly, and patted his arm lightly: "I understand Bofu's thoughts, how can it be that someone with extraordinary abilities like me has Zilong beside him?" The enemy can get close?"

Lu Bu was full of confidence in the upcoming fight. Sun Ce knew that no matter what he said, he would not agree to take him back to the fight, so he could only say: "I'm not around, so Marquis Chu must be very careful."

"Don't worry." Lu Bu replied, "I can kill a few times in Cao's army by myself. This time, with Zilong and cavalry soldiers by my side, Bo Fu still feels uneasy?"

"I know Chuhou's ability, and I know General Zhao's ability." Sun Ce smiled awkwardly, and said to Lu Bu: "I am only worried because I am not with Chuhou. After all, I follow Chuhou. After so long, I have already gotten used to following him every day.”

"I understand what Bofu is thinking." Lu Bu said, "After following me for so long, you should also know something about me. What can Cao Jun do to me?"

Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Cao Jun who was following behind. Sun Ce knew that it was useless to say anything, so he didn't say any more.

As the sky was getting darker and darker, Zhou Yu approached Lu Bu and whispered to him, "The Marquis of Chu and General Zhao can lead the cavalry first, and then disperse in the field after reaching the front. When Xiahou Dun leads the enemy vanguard to pass by, don't you need It won't be long before their army arrives. At that time, if the Marquis of Chu suddenly rushes out, he will surely succeed!"

Lu Bu nodded: "Follow Gongjin."

He then greeted Zhao Yun: "Zilong, lead the cavalry forward with me."

Although Zhou Yu's voice was low, Zhao Yun, who had been by Lu Bu's side all the time, heard it clearly.

Thinking that the cavalry would be able to achieve something in a short time, Zhao Yun was of course very happy in his heart.

In response, he called the cavalry to follow Lu Bu forward.

When we were about a mile away from the main army, Lu Bu ordered: "Soldiers spread out, don't let the horses make noise, and wait for the main army to pass in front of us."

After receiving the order, Zhao Yun commanded the cavalry to disperse.

But in a short while, tens of thousands of cavalry scattered in the field, and soon disappeared.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun hibernate together.

Looking at the direction where the army was coming, Zhao Yun asked Lv Bu in a low voice, "How many heads of the enemy generals does Chuhou plan to take tonight?"

"Whether the head can be taken or not depends on whether they cooperate or not." Lu Bu smiled slightly: "If they dare to come and fight with me, they can take a few heads for fun. If they dare not come forward, even if I want to take the head , there is no chance."

"When Cao Cao attacked the Marquis of Chu, he was stopped by our army when he reached Dangshan." Zhao Yun replied, "Now that the Marquis of Chu led the army to attack Xudu, even though he was defending everywhere on the road, he was still defeated one by one by the Marquis of Chu. It is ironic to say that. .”

"Cao Cao's desire to destroy me originated from Liu Xuande." Lu Bu replied, "I have no chance to leave the battlefield in the Central Plains. If I find the opportunity, I will definitely go to Jingzhou to make trouble and take Liu Xuande's head in my hands. .”

"When I was under Gongsun Zan's command, I also had some friendship with Liu Xuande." Zhao Yun replied: "At that time, I thought he was a honest old man, but I didn't expect him to be an out-and-out villain! If I hadn't followed Chu Hou, I was almost deceived by him."

"When you get along with people, you have to get along with them to understand how good your character is." Lu Bu smiled lightly, "Did Zilong ever hear of my reputation before joining me?"

Zhao Yun chuckled and didn't answer Lu Bu.

Lu Bu went on to say: "Even if you don't say it, I understand. Back then, Liu Xuande and his like spoke ill of me in front of the world. I didn't have any enmity with Cao Cao, but he took Cao Cao to Xuzhou. Until now , the relationship between me and Cao Cao has become an endless deadlock."

"Liu Xuande is just relying on others." Zhao Yun replied: "Don't pay attention to him. One day, sooner or later, we will go south to Jingzhou and take Liu Xuande's head to sacrifice to the Chuhou flag."

Glancing at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu smiled slightly.

They were not too far away from the army, but after a while, the army appeared in their field of vision.

Zhou Yu and others led the soldiers across the road.

The mighty army walked for a long time without seeing an end.

Zhao Yun muttered in a low voice: "When I was marching with the army, I didn't realize how many people there were. Looking at it from the side, there are quite a few!"

"If I didn't have enough soldiers and horses, how would I dare to provoke Cao Cao?" Lu Bu replied, "Cao Cao has been in business for many years, and he has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command. Especially he has countless strong generals and advisers under him. Our army's crusade this time , although you can have a lot of advantages in the early stage, if you keep fighting, you may not be able to win favors."

"Could it be that Marquis Chu really didn't plan to destroy Cao Cao?" Zhao Yun had heard that Lu Bu had no plan to destroy Cao Cao this time, but Zhao Yun didn't believe it. Hearing what he said, he subconsciously asked.

Lu Bu replied: "Of course it would be great if he could be wiped out. If we can't kill him, we can only keep the benefits we have now."

While the two were talking, the army drove past them.

Seeing a Cao army trailing behind the main army, Lu Bu lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yun: "Let's not talk about it now, wait for Xiahou Dun to pass."
