The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 137 Loyalty is not a bad thing
Chen Dao was captured by Lu Bu, and Zhang Xun led his army back to Shouchun.

Lu Bu, Chen Dao, and Zhao Yun were talking, when Xun You approached him: "Zhang Xun withdrew, why didn't Marquis Wen take this opportunity to lead the army to cover up and kill him?"

"It's better to ask Uncle Zhi than to ask me." Lu Bu looked at Chen Dao.

"It's really wise that Marquis Wen didn't send troops to cover up the killing." Chen Dao replied, "I failed to defeat Zilong the night before. I discussed with Zhang Xun and sent a small number of troops to retreat. In case the battle is not good, the army returns to Shou Chun, you can ambush the pursuers. If Marquis Wen orders a cover-up, even if you can catch up to Zhang Xun, the loss will definitely be not small."

"I see." Xun You nodded.

When Lu Bu and Chen Dao were fighting, he could see that the number of Huainan troops seemed to be a little smaller.

With Xun You's ability, it is not difficult for Zhun Huainan Army to deploy secretly.

Asking Lu Bu why he didn't pursue him, he had two purposes.

First, if Lu Bu saw that the Huainan Army had made a deployment, it would be enough to show that he was indeed very different from the past. When he returned to Xudu in the future, he had to remind Cao Cao to be more careful.

Second, if Lu Bu didn't see that the Huainan Army had made a deployment, he would take the opportunity to urge him to pursue and kill them.Now the Qingzhou Army has almost blind trust and respect for Lu Bu, which will be detrimental to Cao Cao in the long run.

Only by causing the Qingzhou Army to suffer a big loss can Lu Bu's image in their minds be broken.

Once Lu Bu loses his prestige, there is no need to be wary of him in the future.

However, Lu Bu did not answer, but instead kicked the ball to Chen Dao.

Chen Dao can be honest, Lu Bu asked him to say, and he really did not hesitate to tell the reason.

"If Shuzhi doesn't tell me, I really don't know that the enemy army has an ambush." ​​Lu Bu pretended to be scared: "Fortunately, I only care about winning Shuzhi, otherwise, wouldn't it be that the lives of all the soldiers of the three armies will be lost?" went in?"

To be valued so much by Lu Bu, Chen Dao was of course very grateful.

Xun You was a little more wary of Lu Bu.

If he directly admitted that he saw the Huainan army secretly setting up an ambush, Xun You would at most think that he knew better than ever in battlefield planning and observing the situation.

But he didn't admit it, but put the reason on Chen Dao's head.

And the reason he gave would actually make Chen Dao extremely useful.

Chen Dao, who was not well received under Liu Bei's command in the past, cast himself in front of Lu Bu's tent. For him alone, Lu Bu would neglect to pursue the enemy.

What a lofty honor it is to say that?

"General Chen transferred from the Huainan Army to Marquis Wen. He should be very familiar with the defense of Shouchun. If he leads the army as the vanguard, he will surely win the battle." Xun You didn't know what to say, and Li Dian who came with him interjected. Mouth.

When Li Dian asked him to lead the army as a vanguard, Chen Dao's face suddenly became dark.

He turned to look at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled generously: "Shuzhi is a kind and righteous man. Yang Hong and Zhang Xun reused him, so how could he do harm? I have just agreed to the crusade against Huainan, and I invite him to watch the battle instead of going into battle in person."

Li Dian was surprised, and was about to say more when Xun You interrupted, "It's still Marquis Wen who knows how to be considerate. I admire Marquis Wen very much when he employs people."

He approached Lu Bu and lowered his voice: "In two years, Marquis Wen should be able to lead Xuzhou again and become a hero."

"How did Mr. Xun say such a thing?" Lu Bu sternly said, "Mr. Cao treats me well. No matter how strong Xuzhou is, I will not turn my back on Mr. Cao. According to Mr. Xun, do I still have to make peace with him in the future?" Mr. Cao making trouble?"

Lu Bu seemed to be turning his back on him, Xun You explained with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I just said that Marquis Wen's ability is superb, and sooner or later he can achieve great things."

"Why do I think there is something in Xun Gong's words?" Lu Bu smiled slightly, Zhao Yun frowned and interjected.

"Marquis Wen doesn't speak, because he is calm in his heart." Xun You replied: "General Zhao said that, but it makes people feel unsafe."

Zhao Yun frowned even more. He wanted to argue, but Lu Bu winked.

"Marquis Wen won General Chen, and I can understand the painstaking efforts of not letting him lead troops into battle. I just want to ask, when will the army go to attack Shouchun?" Xun You asked.

"The soldiers have worked very hard." Lu Bu said, "This place is not too far from Shouchun. I will lead the army to the city tomorrow morning. What do you think, Mr. Xun?"

Before opening his mouth, Xun You made a plan that Lu Bu would delay.

Not only did Lu Bu not procrastinate, but he immediately agreed to the next morning, leaving him at a loss as to how to respond.

There was really no topic to talk about, and Zhao Yun's expression was even worse than before.

Even Chen Dao's expression showed a hint of boredom.

Xun You knew that he would never even think about wooing Chen.

Staying here will only add to the embarrassment, Xun You said goodbye: "I will leave first without delaying Marquis Wen's conversation with the generals."

Watching Xun You and the others leave, Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu, "How long is Marquis Wen going to put up with them?"

"The important thing is not how long I intend to endure, but how long they can allow me to survive." Lu Bu curled his lips and smiled: "Could it be that Zilong really thinks that Cao Cao will let me grow up?"

"Since Xun You and others went to Pengcheng, they have been tripping up Marquis Wen everywhere." Zhao Yun said, "As long as Marquis Wen gives an order, I will go and take Xun You's head right now."

"After taking Xun You's head, Cao Cao's army will arrive soon." Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao has as many powerful generals as a cloud, and I have only a few of you at my side. Speaking of strategists, Cao Cao has Guo Fengxiao, Jia Wenhe, Xun Wenruo and others, I have only Chen Gongtai by my side. Now is not the time to turn against Cao Cao, at least he will not trouble me, and I have no intention of turning against him."

When Lu Bu led an army to attack Huainan, Chen Dao thought he was doing things purely for Cao Cao.

From the conversation between the two, Chen Dao realized that the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao was not as stable as he imagined.

It is subtle, and perhaps only Lu Bu and the people around him can have a personal experience.

"It's inconvenient for Uncle Zhi to help me attack Huainan. You will stay in the army until Shouchun is broken." Lu Bu looked at Chen Dao: "After Shouchun City is broken, I will entrust you with important tasks!"

Lu Bu allowed him not to participate in the attack on Shouchun, and Chen Dao couldn't help but feel guilty.

He said to Lv Bu: "Wen Hou is so magnanimous, I can't repay you. When Huainan is captured, I will definitely make more contributions on the battlefield in the future to redeem my mistakes today."

"Benevolence and righteousness are not a fault." Lu Bu looked forward: "I used several people before the battle of Xuzhou. Facing a strong enemy, they actually wanted to tie me up and send it to Cao Cao. If I had been prepared, I would have been given to me by them." Terrible. If the people around me at that time were all loyal and brave men like Shu Zhi, would I still be in a dangerous situation?"

"Marquis Wen treats me like this, I will follow with all my heart!" Chen Dao responded with emotion.

Zhang Xun fled back to Shouchun with his troops, and Yang Hong hurried out of the city to meet him.
