The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 437

Sun Ce responded, and Yan Liang shouted, "General Sun, we are here, and you know what it means."

"General Yan came here, of course I know why." Sun Ce replied: "It's just that the general is going to enter the city at this time, and I really can't make the decision."

"I heard that General Sun is the person next to General Lu." Yan Liang said, "Is there any thing that General Sun can't do in the entire city of Xu?"

"It's already night, and the king of Chu drank too much to break the city today." Sun Ce replied: "He is already asleep at this time, and I couldn't wake him up by calling myself just now. General Yan wants to enter the city, of course he needs the king of Chu Approval. Who would dare to open the city without his order now?"

"General Sun means that he won't open the city gate to welcome us into the city?" Yan Liang's tone was not very good.

Sun Ce replied, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask General Yan to stay outside the city tonight. I'll ask him for instructions when the King of Chu wakes up tomorrow."

"King of Chu?" Yan Liang asked, "Did General Lu become the king?"

"Breaking Xudu rescued His Majesty, so the king of Chu was awarded the imperial seal." Sun Ce replied: "I heard that General Yan and General Wen have led the army near Xudu for a long time, but they have never attacked. Now that I think about it, the two generals really missed it." Excellent timing. If you had come to help us when our army was attacking the city, there would be no need to ask the King of Chu for orders now, you would have already been in Xudu City. It might not be the King of Chu who was enshrined, but Duke Yuan.”

There was a sense of ridicule in Sun Ce's words, but Yan Liang had no words to respond, so he could only reply: "If King Chu wakes up, please report to General Sun as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, General Yan. If the King of Chu wakes up tomorrow morning, I will report to him immediately." Sun Ce replied, "I have to wrong the general tonight and stay outside the city overnight."

I thought that when I came to Xudu, I could enter the city that night, but unexpectedly, I was shut down at the gate of the city. Of course, Yan Liang was in a very bad mood.

He bowed his hands to Sun Ce, then turned his mount and walked towards the Hebei army.

When Yan Liang came back, Wen Chou asked, "How? When are they going to open the city gate?"

"Lü Bu drank too much because he said he was going to attack Xudu." Yan Liang replied, "Sun Ce couldn't get his order, so he didn't dare to open the city for us."

"He was making excuses." Wen Chou said, "You wait here, I will ask him. If he still refuses to open the city gate, we will attack the city."

"Don't be impulsive." Wen Chou has a fiery temper. If he is wrong with Sun Ce, he may really order the soldiers to attack the city. Yan Liang hurriedly stopped him.

"What?" Looking at Yan Liang, Wen Chou asked, "Are you still afraid of that Sun Bofu?"

"How could I be afraid of him?" Yan Liang said, "Sun Bofu just told me that when Lu Bu wakes up tomorrow morning, he will report to him. I still don't believe that Lu Bu dared not let us enter the city until then. "

"Do you think Lu Bu will let us enter the city?" Wen Chou asked.

"Couldn't he?" Yan Liang said, "Lu Bu had an alliance with the lord, and now that he has defeated Xudu, we plan to enter the city. Even if it's just out of alliance, he should let us in. If he dares to stop us Outside the city. Once the lord gets angry, do you think Lu Bu can bear it?"

"That's true." Wen Chou nodded: "In terms of military strength, we in Hebei are not comparable to Cao Cao. If Lu Bu really dared to be an enemy of the Lord, once the Hebei army came to kill him, how would he resist?"

"That's the reason." Yan Liang said: "Since Sun Ce asked us to wait, we will wait. I still can't believe that Lu Bu really dare not let us enter the city tomorrow morning."

"Success." Wen Chou replied, "Waiting overnight is nothing."

The two reached an agreement, and immediately ordered the army to be stationed outside Xu Capital City.

The Hebei army began to set up camp, and Sun Ce on the top of the city told the general on duty: "Keep an eye on Yan Liang and Wen Chou. If there is anything, send someone to report to the Marquis of Chu immediately."

The general took the order, and Sun Ce immediately went down the city wall.

Sun Ce came to Lu Bu's residence, stood at the door and said, "King Chu, I just met Yan Liang."

"Come in and say." Lu Bu's voice came from the room.

Sun Ce opened the door and walked in. Lu Bu asked him, "Did you send Yan Liang away?"

"Send it away." Sun Ce replied, "I came back to report to the King of Chu after seeing them set up camp with my own eyes."

Lü Bu refused to see Yan Liang and Wen Chou that night, Sun Ce didn't quite understand his move, and asked him, "The two of them led the army to Xudu, and the King of Chu sent them away in person, wouldn't it be better to find an excuse? "

"Where is it good?" Lu Bu replied: "If I go to see them tonight, they will not be allowed to enter the city. The two of them were full of hope but it was in vain, and it was night, so maybe they would really order to attack the city. Wouldn't it be better if I went to see them tomorrow and evaded them with some words than leading them to attack the city?"

Sun Ce looked puzzled, he didn't want to understand the difference between refusing Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the army into the city at night, and refusing them early tomorrow morning.

Seeing that Sun Ce didn't quite understand, Lu Bu smiled slightly and asked him, "It's already night, if I tell them that Cao Cao's army is not far away and ask them to come to Xudu after chasing them, do you think they will go?"

"Of course not." Sun Ce replied, "I think most of them will ask to stay in the city for one night."

"As long as they are allowed to enter the city, how much do you think it is possible for them to leave?" Lu Bu asked again.

Sun Ce replied: "As long as they enter the city, I think most of them will not leave."

"That's the reason." Lu Bu replied: "Once they are allowed to enter the city, they don't care where Cao Cao is. You know, they came here not to attack Cao Cao, but to snatch it from us. Emperor. Seeing them at night, there is no reason to ask them to pursue Cao Jun."

"With the idea of ​​taking away the emperor, the king of Chu asked them to pursue Cao Cao tomorrow morning, but it may not be possible."

"Wait until dawn, of course there is a reason to invite them to pursue Cao Cao." Lu Bu said, "If they refuse to go, I also have a reason not to give them the city."

"I don't know what reason the king of Chu intends to use to refuse?" Sun Ce still couldn't figure out what reason Lv Bu would use to make Yan Liang and Wen Chou willingly pursue Cao Cao.

"Tomorrow morning, follow me to the top of the city." Lu Bu replied, "You will understand then."

Lu Bu refused to speak now, so Sun Ce had no choice but to stop asking.

That night, Lu Bu had a sound sleep, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou outside the city were still thinking about something.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Wen Chou woke up early.

He planned to go to the outskirts of the barracks to see if there was any sign that the city gate was about to be opened.

When he was about to reach the edge of the barracks, he saw a figure standing there.

Although dawn was coming and the darkest hour of the day had passed, the sky did not light up.

With the faint light, Wen Chou could see that the man's back was very tall.

There are some tall soldiers in the army, but none of them can be as strong and burly as that person.

Just looking at the back, Wen Chou judged that the person should be Yan Liang.

Walking forward quickly, Wen Chou asked behind Yan Liang, "Why do you wake up so early?"

"I didn't sleep almost all night." Looking back at him, Yan Liang turned his attention to Xu Ducheng not far away: "Although Sun Ce asked us to stay here until dawn, I was thinking, if Lu Bu really refused to let us We enter the city, are we going to lead the soldiers to attack Xudu?"

"If he dares not let us enter the city, why should he be polite to them?" Yan Liang said, "You don't have to think so much, I don't think Lu Bu would dare to play tricks on us."

Glancing at Wen Chou again, Yan Liang snorted and sneered twice: "If you want to talk about others, you might not dare to play tricks on us. But he, Lu Fengxian, might not dare."

"If he really plays tricks on us, we will break into Xudu and take his head!" Wen Chou replied angrily.

"No matter how much you and I guess here, it's useless." Yan Liang replied, "It's better to wait until dawn before asking Lu Bu to speak."

"It's almost dawn." Wen Chou said, "I'll ask..."

He was about to step forward, but Yan Liang stopped him: "Don't be reckless."

Looking at Yan Liang in astonishment, Wen Chou asked, "What? Is there anything else?"

"It's useless to ask now." Yan Liang asked Wen Chou: "Do you think Lu Fengxian will get up now and come to see us?"

"Then when do you think he will come?" Wen Chou frowned.

The more guessing together with Yan Liang, the more bored Wen Chou felt.

Looking up at the still dark sky, Yan Liang said, "I don't think he will come to see us until the sun rises."

"Could it be that we have to wait here?" Wen Chou was a little upset when he heard that Lu Bu would not come to see them until after the sun had risen.

"If we don't wait here, what else can we do?" Yan Liang said, "Lu Bu has a lot of soldiers and horses, and we only brought [-] soldiers to Xudu. If Lu Bu really refuses to let us enter the city, what do you think? With the two of us, can we fight into the city?"

Ever since Wen Chou came outside the city of Xudu, he had been thinking that if Lu Bu refused to open the city, he would lead troops to attack.

When Yan Liang said a word, he was stunned and didn't know how to respond to the question.

Looking at Yan Liang in astonishment, Wen Chou asked, "What do you mean, we are not Lu Bu's opponents?"

"Have you ever heard that Lv Bu single-handedly fought against dozens of powerful generals under Cao Cao?" Yan Liang said, "Cao Cao also has a lot of capable men, and we can't deal with so many with our abilities. So Lu Bu alone is enough to deal with us, not to mention he has Sun Bofu and others under his command."

What Yan Liang said made Wen Chou somewhat calm down, and the idea of ​​attacking Xu Du also subsided a lot.

"Can we just wait here?" After a moment of silence, he still asked Yan Liang unwillingly.

Nodding his head, Yan Liang replied, "As far as the moment is concerned, we can only wait here."

Wen Chou sighed in annoyance, and didn't say anything more.

It was broad daylight, but Lu Bu was still asleep.

Sun Ce came to the door of his room and called out, "King Chu, it's already dawn."

No sound came from the room.

Doubting whether Lu Bu had already gotten up, he asked the guards outside the door: "Has King Chu got up?"

The guard replied: "Since I fell asleep last night, I haven't gone out until now."

Knowing that Lu Bu was still in the room, Sun Ce called again: "King Chu, it's already dawn, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are still waiting outside the city."

"Is there a sun rising three poles?" Finally, Lu Bu's voice came from the room.

Sun Ce replied, "Not yet."

"Come see me again after the sun rises." Lu Bu who was in the room responded to him.

Knowing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were waiting outside the city, but Lu Bu refused to get up, Sun Ce knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he agreed and left.

After leaving Lu Bu's residence, Sun Ce went to the city.

He planned to see what Yan Liang and Wen Chou were doing.

The person in charge of guarding the city wall during the day was Jiang Huang Gai, who had followed Sun Jian back then.

Seeing Sun Ce coming, Huang Gai stepped forward to salute, "Bo Fu is here."

Huang Gai followed Sun Jian in his early years, and Sun Ce had to be called "uncle" when talking about it.

He returned the salute and asked, "Is the old general on duty here during the day?"

"Exactly." Huang Gai replied.

Sun Ce asked again, "Have Yan Liang and Wen Chou made any moves?"

"No action." Huang Gai replied, "It's just that Yan Liang came three or four times to ask if the King of Chu got up."

"Just now I went to the residence of the King of Chu." Sun Ce said, "I planned to invite him to the city to send the two of them away, but he asked me to wait until the sun was high before going there."

"I don't think Yan Liang and Wen Chou are very patient." Huang Gai said, "The king of Chu is so negligent, so don't make them anxious."

"If you want me to say, the King of Chu just wants to make them anxious." Sun Ce said, "It's just that I haven't figured out what the King of Chu wants to do and why he is so negligent to the two of them." , aren't you worried that the two of them will become angry?"

"It's okay for them to become angry." Huang Gai said: "The two of them only brought one hundred thousand soldiers, which is more than enough to deal with them with the army in the city. Even if they really make them angry, I don't think they dare to deal with Chu. How about the king?"

Sun Ce nodded: "They really can't do anything to the King of Chu, but now the King of Chu and Yuan Shao are still in an alliance. If they really turn their backs, the alliance may turn against each other. Cao Cao has not been completely defeated at the moment. Once Yuan Shao raises troops from Hebei, Cao Cao will It can be killed from behind. I am afraid that the achievements we have obtained before will be handed over to others."

"Bo Fu has been with the King of Chu all day, don't you have confidence in him?" Huang Gai said, "I think the King of Chu has a plan, so I dare to do this."

Sun Ce and Huang Gai were talking, when a voice came from outside the city wall: "May I ask if the King of Chu has come?"

Just by hearing the voice, the two of them knew that it must be Yan Liang.

The two came to the city wall together, and Sun Ce shouted to Yan Liang outside the city: "General Yan, King Chu was intoxicated last night. I went to see him just now, but he hasn't woken up yet. When I wake up, I will ask whether to open the city gate." .”
