The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 1049 Relocation
This autumn rain lasted for nearly half a month.

Looking from a high place, many half-bare trees, under the wash of this heavy rain, only bare branches are left, there are mud puddles everywhere, and the ground is full of watery mud.

On this day, the sky cleared, and the long-lost autumn sun rose into the sky.

"Father, it's sunny!"

Under the golden sunshine, a young general ran to report to Hua Xiong happily.

Hua Xiong, who was nibbling on the bread, smacked his mouth twice, glanced at his son, and said indifferently: "It's sunny, so what are you happy about?"

"When the sky clears up, when the ground dries up, we can attack Xiapi City!"

The expression on Hua Wu's face was full of excitement, as a newborn calf, he always wanted to go to the battlefield to hone his skills, and it would be best if he could capture one or two enemy generals alive.

He came late, and his reputation was not obvious. Most of his younger brothers, such as Cao Jun, Huang Xu, etc., had meritorious service and were quite famous in the army.

Hua Xiong doesn't like women, so he only married one wife in his life and never took concubines.The two have a son named "Wu", which means that he can inherit his martial arts will in the future.

Therefore, Hua Wu has practiced martial arts diligently since he was a child, and he is also proficient in everything from swords, guns and sticks to horseback riding and slashing and killing.

Hua Xiong also placed high hopes on his son, but he was afraid that he would end up fighting alone, so he only brought his son with him as his personal guard.

The son wants to make meritorious service, why doesn't he want to be a father?

"Why don't you go and ask the king, when will there be a battle plan?" Hua Wu urged.

Hua Xiong said angrily, "Don't ask, just wait."

At this moment, a soldier from outside ran over, presenting a roll of bamboo slips in his hand: "General, your majesty sent someone to send you a letter, please have a look."

Hearing these words, Hua Xiong's eyes lit up immediately, he went forward to grab the bamboo slips, opened them and browsed them.

"Father, what do you say! Is there going to be a war!" Hua Wu looked hopeful.

Hua Xiong also thought so at first, but after he finished reading the content, the expression on his face was very strange.

"See for yourself!"

Hua Xiong threw the bamboo slips to his son.

"Move the camp? Did you make a mistake!"

After reading the content of the bamboo slips, Hua Wu's tone was astonished, with an expression of disbelief.

After the rain has passed, it’s fine if you don’t attack, but why did you move the camp elsewhere? Doesn’t this mean telling the world clearly that we are afraid of Liu Bei?

"Your Majesty is getting less and less courageous now, no, I have to ask the truth!"

Hua Xiong ordered his horses to be prepared and went straight to Lü Bu's camp.

On the way, he also bumped into Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Guan Hai and others coming out of their respective camps.

Obviously, they also couldn't understand Lu Bu's strategy of moving the camp, so they wanted to ask for clarification.

After all, with their current strength, even if they storm Xiapi City by force, there will never be any problems.

A few people hurried to Lu Bu's camp, but they were told that after the weather cleared, Lu Bu took his people out to the bank of the Surabaya River.

So, several people got on their horses again and ran towards Surabaya.

On the banks of the Surabaya River, the waves are choppy.

In recent days, continuous precipitation has caused the water level of the river to rise sharply.

Lu Bu stood on the bank of the river, the rushing water swirled and fluttered in his eyes.

The river wind blows, bringing coolness.

Apart from Lu Bu, Guo Jia, Pang Ji, Jia Xu and other counselors were also there. Lu Bu brought them here, and they naturally knew what Lu Bu's intentions were.

Xiapi City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you forcefully attack the city, many soldiers will inevitably suffer casualties, so flooding the city with water is the best way.

"My lord, General Hua Xiong and the others are here." Not long after, Chen Wei came to report.

Lv Bu nodded slightly, without the slightest surprise on his face, and with Hua Xiong's temperament, it was expected that he would come to him to ask what happened.

"Call them over," Lu Bu ordered.

Soon, Hua Xiong and the others strode towards this side, clasped fists to salute Lu Bu, and shouted in unison: "My lord."

Lu Bu said "hmm" as a response, and asked Hua Xiong and the others: "Why are you here looking for Gu?"

Faced with Lu Bu's questioning, Hua Xiong, who had come aggressively when he came, would now scratch his head, as if he didn't want to be the first bird anymore.

On the contrary, Mr. Huang was straightforward: "My lord, the battle hasn't started yet, why did you order to move the camp?"

It is clear that we can fight a battle, but withdraw without fighting. If we can't give a specific explanation, this will hurt morale.

"Old General Huang, my lord's way of doing this naturally has his deep meaning." Pang Ji came over to smooth things over.

Huang Zhong refused to accept it, and cupped his hands and said, "The last general is dull, please show me clearly, my lord!"

People, once you get older, your temper will inevitably become a lot more stubborn.

Looking at the endlessly flowing river, Lu Bu said slowly: "Gu decided to dig the two rivers of Si and Yi to irrigate the city, and wipe out Liu Bei and his henchmen!"

If they don't move their camps, their camps will also be swallowed up by these two floods.

Hearing this plan, Huang Zhong and the others were stunned for a moment, because they never thought that such a magical operation could be performed.

"I didn't tell you guys before, the main reason was that I was worried about being exposed, especially Hua Xiong, who likes to be blind all day long. The less people know about this matter, the more secure it will be..."

Hearing Lu Bu's roll call, Hua Xiong couldn't help but blush.

After Lu Bu finished speaking, all the generals were convinced: "My lord is wise, I can't wait!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and asked again, "Is there anything else?"

The generals shook their heads again and again, the doubts in their hearts were resolved, and it was naturally all right.

"If not, then get ready to go."

"Yes, my lord."

Huang Zhong and the others agreed and said nothing more, they all went back to move the camp honestly.

…………

Move camp?

How can it be!

Hearing the information from his subordinates, Liu Bei's face was full of disbelief.

Finally, when the sky cleared, it was a good time to attack the city, but it was really unreasonable for Lu Bu to choose to retreat at this juncture.

"According to the information that came back from the investigation, it seems that there is a big problem in Chang'an behind Lu Bu. In addition to the heavy rainfall these days, the road is difficult to walk and the food and grass are not available. That's why Lu Bu is anxious to withdraw his troops..."

Chen Dao will report all the information he gets to Liu Bei.

That said, it's not impossible.

Liu Bei couldn't help but believe it a little bit.

"My lord, if you have any concerns, this subordinate is willing to lead a team with General Zhao to find out the truth."

Chen Dao said seriously, now under Liu Bei's command, he and Zhao Yun are the most able to fight.

"There is no need to send troops."

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, rejecting the proposal.

Lu Bu's move is very likely to be a tactic to lure the enemy. If he wants to deliberately lure himself into being fooled, it is better to wait and see for a while before making a plan.

As long as Lu Bu doesn't come to provoke him, he should be thankful.

Don't seek meritorious service, but seek to defend the city.

This is Liu Bei's current mentality.

However, only two days passed.

Then some soldiers came running as if they had seen a ghost, and shouted almost crying: "My lord, something is wrong!"
