The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 140 What You Can't Do, I Can
Not long after Yang Hong and Zhang Xun went to the palace, Yuan Yao saw Yuan Ying.

No one knew what Yuan Yao and Yuan Ying talked about, and Yuan Yao left Shouchun that afternoon under the escort of Zhang Xun.

Yuan Ying and his confidantes also left with Yuan Yao.

Of course, the maids and regular attendants in the Shouchun Palace also followed Yuan Yao to leave the city that Yuan Shu had run for many years.

Lu Bu's garrison was only ten or twenty miles away from Shouchun.

The news quickly spread to the army.

Upon receiving the news, Lu Bu immediately summoned Zhang Liao and others.

Xun You, Xu Huang and Li Dian were also invited.

After everyone was seated, Lu Bu said, "The scouts just sent the news. Zhang Xun escorted Yuan Yao away from Shouchun and headed towards Lujiang. Do you think I should chase me or not?"

Zhang Liao and others often got the news later than Lu Bu. When they heard that Yuan Yao had left Shouchun, several generals frowned.

Xu Huang, who was sitting next to Xun You, asked, "Does Marquis Wen think we should chase him?"

"General Xu played a good shot, I just asked the question, and then threw it to me." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head.

Although he didn't quite understand what playing football meant, Xu Huang's face was still a little ugly.

Lu Bu didn't directly make a decision, but looked at Xun You: "Mr. Xun thinks I should chase and kill Yuan Yao, or should I attack Shouchun?"

"Yuan Yao is just a child with a yellow mouth." Xun You replied, "It doesn't matter whether you kill him or not, what matters is Shou Chun."

"Xun Gong's idea coincides with mine." Lu Bu nodded with a smile, and said to Zhang Liao and others: "Tomorrow morning the army will approach Shouchun, and I will personally lead the attack. Wen Yuan and Zilong will lead the troops to fight for me, uncle. For the time being, we just need to watch the battle in the army."

"I've heard about General Chen's loyalty for a long time." There was no way to persuade Chen Dao to join him, so Xun You simply made another move to make things worse: "But I couldn't figure it out, since I voted for Wenhou, why didn't I lead troops to attack Shouchun ?”

"It's not that I don't want to..." Chen Dao tried to defend himself.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xun You blocked the words back: "Since it's not a refusal, why did Marquis Wen only let the general stay in the army to watch the battle, but didn't let the general go out?"

Chen Dao was speechless when asked.

But Lu Bu pouted and interjected, "Don't you think Mr. Xun thinks I have no capable people under my command?"

"Of course not." When asked by Lu Bu, it was Xun You's turn to defend himself: "I'm just a little confused and want to clarify things..."

"There is nothing I don't understand." Lu Bu said, "Uncle Zhi just left Huainan to join me. I sent him to attack Shouchun. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to see Yang Hong? What's more, whether Wen Yuan or Zilong is beside me, they are all enemies. It’s just Huainan, is it possible that we have to work hard and mobilize everyone, and even invite Cao Gong?”

Lu Bu moved out of Cao Cao, and Xun You didn't know what to say.

He was still thinking about his words, and Lu Bu went on to say: "I am a person, there is nothing wrong with me, but I am a little arrogant. Cao Gong wants to attack Huainan, and he regards attacking here as a serious matter. But I don't think there is any need to bother at all. Huainan needs soldiers but no soldiers, food but no food. There are no counselors who are wise and considerate, and there is no general who is brave enough to win the world. Winning Shouchun is simply easier than breaking a chopstick. The strength is very different, but I have [-]% willful capital. Since I can be willful, if I don't make things more public, wouldn't I be sorry for the advantages that God gave us?"

Knowing that Lu Bu was talking nonsense, Xun You couldn't find a reason to refute.

Frowning, he asked Lu Bu, "Mr. Wen really thinks that Shouchun is easy to win?"

"Small town, what's so difficult?" Lu Bu said: "Zhang Xun escorted Yuan Yao away, and took away a lot of soldiers and horses. The one who guards Shouchun is Yang Hong. In my eyes, he is nothing!"

"Although our army is powerful, Marquis Wen should not be too arrogant!" Xun You reminded: "You must know that hunting dogs sometimes kill tigers."

Lu Bu didn't respond, but looked at Chen Dao, and the smile on his face became a bit wretched: "Uncle Zhi came from Shouchun, do you know how the beauties in Shouchun are?"

No one expected him to ask such a question suddenly.

Chen Dao was also taken aback, and subconsciously replied: "Jianghuai area is very nourishing, the beauty of Shouchun is as gentle as jade, and Marquis Wen should like it."

"It's good to have a beautiful woman like jade!" Lu Bu stood up, "Wen Yuan, Zilong listen to the order!"

Not only Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun stood up, but everyone present, including Xun You, left their seats and stood up.

"I once promised the soldiers of the three armies that after entering Shouchun, let them plunder the property, and let them bring the beauties in the city back to Xuzhou." Lu Bu said: "The things promised to the soldiers must not be broken, but the only way to restrain them is I can do it alone. You two sit in the town and stop the escaped enemy army from the city. I will personally lead the army to attack the city, and we must defeat Shouchun within seven days!"

No general has ever set himself the goal of breaking through the city within a few days.

Not only did Lu Bu stand up, but he also said it in front of Xun You and others.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun took orders, but Xun You didn't say anything, but Li Dian interjected: "Wen Hou said that Shouchun would be captured within seven days, isn't that a bit too flamboyant? You must know that although Shouchun is not as good as Luoyang and Chang'an, it It was also the capital of the Chu State in the past, and it was here that Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, defeated the [-] strong Qin army. Although the last general is not talented, I still want to say something..."

Ever since he delivered the supplies to Zhongli, Li Dian had been very displeased with Lu Bu, and his tone of speech was not very good.

"I think it's better for General Li not to say anything." Lu Bu interrupted him bluntly: "I am not General Li, and General Li is not me. Although Xiang Yan was brave back then, didn't he still lose to Bai Qi in the end? Li The place that the general thinks is invincible, for me, is precisely the place where I can go sightseeing freely. Different people have different abilities and look at things differently. With the general's ability, it is really difficult to beat Shouchun, but I beat Shouchun..."

Lu Bu smiled and shook his head.

There was contempt in his smile, which made Li Dian feel very uncomfortable.

Li Dian was about to explode when Xun You winked at him.

Noticing Xun You's wink, Li Dian didn't continue talking.

Annoyed, he sat down beside Xun You, turned his face to the side, and didn't want to look at Lu Bu any more.

"General Li is also kind." Not wanting to make the atmosphere too weird, Xun You said to Lu Bu: "Presumably Marquis Wen has some important matters to discuss with several generals. It is not appropriate for outsiders to listen too much to important matters in the army. General Xu and I , General Li should leave first!"

"I am fighting for Duke Cao, and Duke Xun is also working for Duke Cao. We are all family members. How can there be so many polite words?" Lu Bu said, "Since Duke Xun thinks it is inappropriate to be here, I will send you out."

Of course Xun You wanted to finish listening to Lu Bu's deployment, as long as Lu Bu stayed for a while, he would have enough reasons to stay.
