Chapter 314 Their Food Is Abnormal

The first city Yuan Tan chose to attack was Laiwu in the northeast of Mount Tai.

Laiwu was originally a big city.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars have continued in various places, and the good cities have also been dilapidated during the wars.

Leading the army to the outside of Laiwu City, Yuan Tan prepared to attack the city.

On the top of the city, the battle flag of the Xuzhou Army fluttered in the wind, but no defenders were seen preparing for defense.

After the army lined up, Yuan Tan dispatched a group of troops to set up an ambush secretly, waiting for Chen Dao to lead the Bai Yan army to rescue the siege.

But until his siege towers and ladders were set up, Chen Dao still didn't lead his army to kill them.

Full of doubts, Yuan Tan didn't know whether to attack or not.

He asked Xin Ping and Xin Pi: "Do you find it strange that since Chen Shuzhi has followed here, let alone that he didn't see the defenders on the top of the city, he didn't seem to plan to rescue the siege at all." .”

"General, do you want to check first?" Xin Ping and Xin Pi didn't expect such a situation to happen, and Xin Pi asked Yuan Tan uncertainly.

Yuan Tan thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Siege the city!"

General Yuan Jun carried the ladder and pushed the siege tower to attack Laiwu.

A strange scene happened again. Looking at the top of the city from outside the city, only the Xuzhou battle flag was fluttering, and there was no trace of Xuzhou army.

This situation may also be due to the Xuzhou army defending the city hiding.

Perhaps when Yuan Jun launches an attack, they will show up to defend against the enemy.

At least Yuan Tan had such an idea.

But when Yuan Jun launched an attack, Yuan Tan's idea was quickly overturned.

The soldiers successfully erected the ladder on the city wall.

They met no resistance until they reached the wall.

Yuan Jun who climbed to the top of the city pulled down the battle flag of the Xuzhou Army and replaced it with the Yuan family's battle flag. Not long after, the city gate was also opened, and what Yuan Tan captured was a completely undefended city.

Leading the army into the city, Yuan Tan walked along the street.

Not to mention pedestrians on the road, not even a cat or dog appeared.

Laiwu turned out to be an empty city.

"No wonder Chen Shuzhi has no intention of rescuing." Yuan Tan said to Xin Ping and Xin Pi who were walking beside him with a very unsightly expression: "He simply knows that this city is empty, and it doesn't matter whether he rescues or not. difference."

"It seems that Pang Shiyuan has already planned not to defend the city." Xin Ping said: "He threw the empty city to us, isn't he afraid that we will refuse to defend this place, and use it as a foundation to move forward step by step?"

"Brother's thinking is too simple." Simpi replied: "Since it is an empty city, I guess there is nothing else here except the city. If you don't believe it, you can ask the soldiers to rummage around to see if they can find even a grain of food."

Xin Pi's words reminded Yuan Tan, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to rummage in the city.

Yuan Jun's soldiers ran to nearby rooms one after another, and some simply went to occupy the treasury.

Yuan Tan didn't bother to ask the details, and went directly to the government.

The government office is also empty, except for the furniture, there is no way to take it away. Anything that can be taken away has long been emptied by the Xuzhou army.

When he came to the official residence, Yuan Tan looked around with a cold face.

The new type of furniture designed by Lu Bu has been sold to other places by merchants, but the price of the furniture is very expensive, not as cheap as in Xuzhou.

Having seen these furniture before, and bought several sets at home, Yuan Tan sat down on the chair at the top of the front hall.

Xin Ping, Xin Pi and the generals who came in after him consciously sat down on the chairs on both sides.

"Tell me, what are we fighting this time?" Yuan Tan glanced across the faces of the crowd, and his tone was a bit cold: "Since we came to Mount Tai, apart from killing one of my generals, there has been no decent fight." I fought with the enemy once. I captured a city, but it was still empty. Not to mention people, I didn’t even see a dog. What do you think is the meaning of capturing such a city for us?”

"General, calm down." Simpi replied: "Pang Shiyuan's deployment is nothing more than that he has begun to fear the general. Since he is afraid of the general, it may be easier to fight future battles."

"Will the battle be easy in the future?" Yuan Tan glared at him and said, "Chen Shuzhi faced Cen Bi, but it didn't make me feel at all how easy it is to fight them."

When mentioning the battle where Cen Bi was beheaded by Chen Dao, Yuan Tan's expression was extremely bad.

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and each of them lowered their heads with guilty expressions on their faces.

Yuan Tan was about to say something more, when a guard outside the door reported: "General Qi, the city has been searched, and no food or cloth has been found."

The return of the guards had long been expected by Yuan Tan.

He greeted: "Come inside and let the generals listen carefully to what we found in Laiwu."

After being ordered to enter the front hall, the guard reported to Yuan Tan again: "General Qi, we have searched everywhere, including the treasury, and there is no food or cloth in the city. Everything that can be taken away has been taken away." People take it away."

"Did you hear that?" Yuan Tan scanned everyone's faces and asked them, "Have you heard that? You've searched everywhere, but you haven't found anything of value at all?"

The generals lowered their heads even lower, Yuan Tan was already outraged, no one wanted to touch his bad luck at this moment.

Not all the time, silence can get away with it.

At least when Yuan Tan was furious, the silence of the generals did not help them get past this level.

Looking around at the generals present, Yuan Tan asked in a cold voice, "Laiwu doesn't even have a grain of food. If the enemy forces block our retreat, sooner or later we will be trapped in a cage. I'm afraid that one day there won't even be half a living person." Maybe go back to Qingzhou."

Yuan Tan's face was cold, and everyone who was swept by his gaze would feel a piercing chill all over their bodies.

"General." Xin Ping said: "Laiwu is an empty city, I don't think other places should be the same."

"You mean to fight another city?" Yuan Tan asked coldly.

"Since Pang Tong handed over Laiwu to us, the general has the final say on how to deal with it?" Xin Ping replied: "Since they don't want it, we will burn it down. Then go to the next city. If you still don’t believe it, Pang Shiyuan can still survive after setting fire to the city one after another.”

Xin Ping's proposal made Yuan Tan look a little better.

After a while, he nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it now."

He immediately ordered: "The order is passed on. The soldiers will be stationed here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. Before leaving, set every house in the city on fire. Since Pang Tong does not want this city, I will fulfill his wish." alright."

Yuan Tan gave the order, but the generals breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his mood improves, everyone sitting here will have a much better life in the future.

************************************************** ****
Since Yuan Tan entered Mount Tai, he first went to Laiwu, burned the city to the ground, and then turned westward to Ying County.

No matter where Yuan Tan went, Chen Dao and Bai Yanjun followed him like a shadow.

But every time, Chen Dao didn't take advantage of their siege to launch an attack.

In this way, one of the two sides walked in front and the other followed behind. They were hostile to each other but never had friction, maintaining a relative balance.

*************************************************
Lu Bu was stationed in Dangshan, and he had already made all the arrangements before Cao Cao led the army to arrive belatedly.

Before arriving at Dangshan, the scouts had reported to Cao Cao that Lu Bu was stationed here.

After entering the border of Dangshan Mountain, Cao Cao saw the battle flag of the Xuzhou Army flying on a mountain in the distance.

Seeing the fluttering battle flag, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, "How far is it from here? Compared with other places, what's so special?"

Guo Jia looked towards the hill where the Xuzhou Army battle flag was fluttering, and said to Cao Cao, "There are about four or five miles left. I think there should be the only way to Xuzhou."

"I really didn't expect that Lu Fengxian would have the guts to fight me in Yuzhou." Cao Cao laughed: "He is completely different now than he was in the battle of Xiapi. Both his strength and courage have improved a lot compared to before. Little, but it made me a little more curious about him."

"No matter how he improves, compared with the lord, he is still inferior." Guo Jia replied: "The reason why he blocked the lord here is that Pengcheng is too close to Yuzhou. The catastrophe of war has brought to Pengcheng."

"Pengcheng is the foundation of Lu Bu. Of course he doesn't want to bring the disaster there." Cao Cao said, "But it doesn't matter where he chooses. It's nothing more than the difference between defeating him in Yuzhou and defeating him in Xuzhou. .”

Cao Cao laughed, and Guo Jia laughed for a while and said to him: "My lord, don't underestimate Lv Bu too much. At the beginning, he only had one Chen Gong under his command, but now he has gathered a lot of talents. Especially Pang Shiyuan, Zhou Gongjin and others , all of them are great talents in strategizing, and we must be extremely cautious when dealing with them."

"Pang Shiyuan is currently in Taishan, Zhou Gongjin has sent troops to Yanjin, and Chen Gongtai is staying in Pengcheng." Cao Cao said, "There is only Zhuge Jin beside Lu Bu, and beside me..."

Having said that, Cao Cao first grinned at Guo Jia, and then looked back.

Behind him, followed by a large group of staff and generals.

Among the staff are Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.

Any one of them has the talents of the sky and the earth. The enemy Lu Bu faced this time is really not ordinary tough.

Cao Cao led his army into the territory of Dangshan.

Lu Bu, who had been prepared for a long time, got the news and immediately ordered the soldiers to be ready to face the battle at any time.

On the hill, Lu Bu stood with his hips akimbo, and beside him were two strong generals, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce.

Zhuge Jin did not stay by his side, as the Chief of Staff, he still had a lot of things to take care of.

Looking into the distance, a banner appeared in Lu Bu's vision.

Although the distance was still far away, he could recognize that it was Cao Cao who was coming this way.

If the Battle of Xiapi had not been the result of his reversal of the war that changed the situation, there would have been no such person as Lu Bu in the world, nor would there be such forces entrenched in Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

History has been changed by him, so just make some bigger moves.

If Cao Cao can be killed in this war, he will really write a great article in the process of changing history!

"There are quite a few here." Seeing Cao Cao's battle flag, Sun Ce who was beside Lu Bu said.

"It will only become less and less." Lu Bu smiled slightly, and replied as if he didn't care at all.

No one could argue with what he said.

No matter how powerful the army is, without additional troops, it will experience fewer and fewer soldiers after combat and non-combat attrition.

"Do they have to come to the vicinity before stationing?" Cao Jun was still advancing here, Zhao Yun said: "If they come to the vicinity, it will really create opportunities for my air force, and I will definitely make them unsafe."

"Zilong should be more cautious." Lu Bu said: "The people around Cao Cao are not as easy to deal with as those around Yuan Shu. Especially Guo Jia and Xun You are not only great talents in strategizing, but also know some strange techniques. .When encountering them on the battlefield, there is no harm in being cautious."

"I have written down what Chu Hou said." Zhao Yun nodded: "I will tell the air force officers and soldiers to be more careful after flying out, and don't be caught by Cao Cao."

Standing on the hill, watching Cao Cao's army approaching, Lu Bu always had a faint smile on his lips.

Leading the army to Dangshan, he had indeed made a plan to win or die.

Cao Cao regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Once Lu Bu was defeated, he would definitely pursue him.

Jianye is not close to Xuzhou, so it is uncertain whether they can escape there smoothly.

When sending his family members to Jianye, it seemed that Lu Bu had already left behind, but in fact, only he knew that the way to Jianye was actually impossible.

To meet Cao Cao, he either defeated the enemy army, or he was defeated and died.

Watching Cao Cao's army getting closer and closer, Lu Bu knew that the day to decide his fate was finally coming.

Whether it can survive and grow, it all depends on the battle in Dangshan.

Lu Bu already had plans to fight to the death, but Cao Cao didn't feel the pressure at all.

He brought with him [-] tiger guard soldiers, and the generals who accompanied the army also had many fierce generals who were enemies of thousands of people.

What made Cao Cao more confident was the think tanks around him.

Guo Jia, Xun You and others, no matter which one is drawn out, Zhuge Jin brought here by Lu Bu cannot compete.

The army crushed Lu Bu, the general crushed Lu Bu, and the think tank crushed him even more. Cao Cao really couldn't find a reason why he would lose this battle.

Getting closer and closer to the hill where Lu Bu was stationed, Cao Cao stopped his horse and raised his hand to point at the Xuzhou battle flag fluttering on the mountain: "I can say that Lu Fengxian is really stupid. If he packs up the battle flag, he will only ambush me in the mountains. , This battle may still have a slight chance of winning. He puts the battle flag so big that I can see it from a long distance, so I don’t know how sure he is against me.”

"My lord, I heard that Lu Bu has an air force under his command." Guo Jia reminded: "He is stationed on the mountain, and the battle flag is fluttering. He has no intention of hiding his whereabouts. Could it be that he wants to use the air force to deal with us?"

"Air Force?" Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "The Air Force that Feng Xiao mentioned, but it was rumored that it flew over from the top of the city and took Wancheng?"

"Exactly." Guo Jia replied: "When I first heard about this, I asked someone to inquire about it, and the rewards I got were not rumors, but fact."

Guo Jia confirmed that Lu Bu had indeed used the air force when he attacked Wancheng, and Cao Cao's face suddenly became ugly.

He asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao is sure that this matter is true?"

"It's not fake at all." Guo Jia replied: "Looking at Lu Bu's behavior in the past few days, I always feel that he should be holding some killer weapon that we have never seen before."

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked, "What does Fengxiao mean?"

"It's better to stay here first." Guo Jia said: "It's not too close to the mountain where Lu Bu is, and it's not too far. Even if he has the so-called air force, he probably can't fly here. It will take some time, but at least we will have time to deal with it."

"Feng Xiao is right." Cao Cao nodded, and said to Guo Jia: "Then I'll follow you, stay here first, and wait until I'm sure whether Lu Bu has the killer weapon you mentioned in his hand, and then make any fuss about it. "

When the military order was issued, Cao Jun immediately set up camp in an open space one mile away from Lu Bu's camp.

Standing on the top of the hill, looking at Cao Jun camped in the open space, Lu Bu said to Sun Ce and Zhao Yun beside him, "They chose to camp so far away because they were afraid of our air force."

"Since you are afraid of the air force, let the air force go and give them some good looks." Zhao Yun said: "I will lead the air force tonight, and put some oil tanks in their barracks first."

"Don't do it." Lu Bu flatly rejected Zhao Yun's proposal: "Staying more than one mile is not very far for the Air Force, but as long as they attack, it will give them a taste. But have you ever thought about why Cao Cao chose to go there? Camping means that we have already taken precautions against our air force. Once the air force takes off, it will be quickly discovered by him. The enemy is prepared, and if we want to cause a lot of damage to them, it may not be too big."

"Marquis Chu means..." Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu.

"Talk to them first." Lu Bu said: "When they lose their composure, our air force will attack again. At that time, the enemy army will be disturbed, and they will also believe that we have no special killing moves and are not prepared for the air force. It will be so strict. When the air force is ordered to release oil tanks, the effect will be much stronger than it is now."

Lu Bu had such a plan. Although Zhao Yun still wanted to bring the air force to show Cao Cao some good looks, he could only hold back for the time being.

They kept talking about the air force, and Sun Ce couldn't help but asked Lu Bu, "Mr. Chu, when will the Jiefan soldiers attack? Although we can't fly across the sky like the air force, it won't be completely useless. Please ask the Marquis of Chu to assign some tasks to Jie Fan Bing."

Lu Bu grinned at him: "The soldiers we brought this time, only Xiefan soldiers can compete against the elite Tiger Guards under Cao Cao's command. The air force can harass, and you are my sharp blade to destroy the enemy. Don't be impatient, Bofu. There are still many days to go to battle."

Obtaining the promise from Lu Bu, Sun Ce stopped asking any more questions.

Sooner or later, there will be a chance to go to battle to kill the enemy, and it is useless to ask more questions at this time.

******************************************
Cao Cao and Lu Bu confronted each other for more than ten days, but neither side made any further moves.

Standing on the edge of the barracks, looking at the hill where Lu Bu was stationed, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Beside him is a group of staff and generals who came here with him.

"Do you find it weird?" Cao Cao asked his staff, "If Lu Bu really had an air force, why did he delay using it? We are stationed here, which is a good time for him to use the air force to launch an attack. But he just didn't do that. What do you want to do?"

"My lord, don't be impatient." Cheng Yu next to him said, "Lu Bu has fought with the lord several times, but he has never won a single battle. I have long been afraid of my lord. Even if he has an air force, how can he use it easily?"

Turning to look at Cheng Yu, Cao Cao asked, "Is that true?"

"Of course it is." Cheng Yu replied, "Otherwise, why would he sit on the top of the mountain without making any moves?"

What Cheng Yu said really made some sense, Cao Cao nodded, but then he asked again: "I and Lu Bu can't just confront each other like this. If so, when will it end?"

"Lü Bu is stationed on the hillside, so he must not bring much food and grass." Cheng Yu replied: "My lord, why don't you stay here for a while, and when there is no food on the mountain, he will definitely find a way to go down the mountain. Once Lu Bu goes down the mountain, he is still not the lord. How to fight, how to fight?"

Cheng Yu's proposal is indeed a solution.

Earlier Cao Cao sent scouts to investigate Lu Bu's military situation.

The scouts reported that the rations Lu Bu brought with the army should last for more than a month.

With a military ration that can only last for one month, and choosing to confront Cao Cao on the hillside, Lu Bu is simply trying to die.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Cao Cao told everyone: "Send down the order to closely monitor Lu Bu, and report to me immediately if he shows signs of going down the mountain."

The people took orders.

The scouts Cao Cao sent earlier were also veterans who had been in charge of scouting military situations all year round.

They not only know how to avoid the enemy's hunting, but also can make corresponding judgments on the enemy's situation in a complex environment.

Lv Bu's army had enough supplies, and the rations were only enough for one month. This was the answer that the scouts finally got after observing the number of vehicles and digging out some necessary accompanying items and ordnance.

It has to be said that Cao Cao's scouts are indeed exceptionally powerful in judging the enemy's food and grass.

But Cao Cao didn't know that Lu Bu didn't have any worries about food and grass at all.

There is indeed not much luggage in the army, and it seems that the food is only enough for more than a month.

However, for these grains, just take out a small piece and put it in a bowl, and then soak it in hot water. After a while, it will be a bowl of hot rice with some soup.

In Lu Bu's army, all he needed was to boil some water every day.

The military rations that soldiers eat every day only account for a very small proportion of the military rations they carry, even so small that they can be ignored.

It was the first time to eat this kind of military ration, and Lu Bu felt that the taste was really good.

However, he also knew that if the tastes were the same, it would not take long for the soldiers to feel nauseated.

So at the beginning, he ordered the cook to make military rations with a real taste.

Choose two flavors without filling, and cycle them every few days. The soldiers will not get tired of eating them. Lu Bu also thinks that if they eat this way, they will definitely not have any problems for a year.

What's more, there are birds and beasts on the mountain, it is really annoying to eat the army rations, and the soldiers can also be sent to hunt some game back.

It is not a problem at all to support on the mountain for a year.

Cao Cao followed Cheng Yu's strategy and waited for another month.

Calculated, Lu Bu's army rations should be about the same, but he still has no intention of leading the soldiers down the mountain.

Ever since he came to Dangshan, he had been confronting Lu Bu, and Cao Cao was a little annoyed by waiting.

When it was nearly a month old, he would go outside the barracks every day to look at the Lu Bu military flag on the hillside in the distance.

The military flag was still fluttering in the wind, but Lu Bu still had no plans to go down the mountain.

Looking at the military flags fluttering on the hillside, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu who had offered him advice and waited earlier: "It seems that Lu Bu's army should be running out of food and grass soon, but why is he still not planning to go down the mountain?"

"It's true, the food and grass in his army should be almost exhausted, why is there no sign of going down the mountain?" Cheng Yu was also confused.

Cheng Yu couldn't tell why, so Cao Cao frowned slightly, and told Xu Chu beside him, "Zhongkang go, Feng Xiao and others are invited."

Of course Xu Chu knew that he was going to invite all his staff, so he agreed and turned around and left.

After a while, Xu Chu led a group of staff to Cao Cao.

Everyone saluted Cao Cao.

Guo Jia asked: "My lord asked us to come here, but you haven't left the mountain because of Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao asked the crowd: "The military rations that Lu Bu carried could only last for a month at most, but he lasted for a full month, and he didn't plan to go down the mountain because of lack of food. It's so abnormal, don't you Feel weird?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Even though they were talented, they really couldn't find an explanation for such an abnormal phenomenon.

"My lord." Xun You asked, "Will Lu Bu halve the rations of the lieutenants and soldiers so that they can't get enough to eat? If they do this, they can survive on the mountain for at least two months."

"Halve the military rations, so that the soldiers can't eat enough. Once the battle starts, he will definitely lose." Cao Cao immediately denied Xun You's statement: "I always feel that Lu Bu has learned some magic tricks, otherwise such weird things would happen. ?”

"My lord, it's useless to think too much here." Guo Jia said: "Why don't you send a force to attack first, and see if their people still have the strength to fight back. If they don't have the strength to fight back, or if they don't have enough strength, then Lu Buke withheld the military rations. If their men are as brave as usual, there are only two possibilities. One is that Lu Bu has another way to transport food, and the other is that, as the lord said, he knows the magic method and can use it to the soldiers Send food."

"Who is suitable to lead the troops?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"Xiahou Yuanrang." Guo Jia replied, "It's perfect for him to lead the soldiers up the mountain."

Guo Jia recommended Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao nodded, and told Xu Chu: "Go and invite Xiahou Yuan."

Not long after Xu Chu withdrew, he invited Xiahou Dun over.

When he came to Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun asked, "May I ask what your lord wants?"

"We have been here for a month." Cao Cao said, "Earlier, everyone and I believed that Lu Bu's luggage and food could only last for a month. Once the food and grass ran out, he would definitely go down the mountain to break through and try to return to Xuzhou. But Up to now, a whole month has passed, but there is no sign of him going down the mountain. I think it's a bit weird. I called you here because I plan to let you lead the army to attack the mountain. Lu Bu is a fierce general today. With your martial arts, I'm afraid it's not him I just want to ask you, do you dare to go up the mountain to fight him?"

"How can I not dare to do what my lord wants me to do?" Xiahou Dun replied, "Don't say it's just Lu Bu, even if it's a god from the lower realm, I'll go to the mountain and catch him."

"I don't want you to take him down." Cao Cao shook his head: "I just want you to launch a strong attack, and see if their soldiers are not strong enough."

Xiahou Dun was very surprised by Cao Cao's explanation.

He asked Cao Cao in astonishment: "Dare to ask my lord, what should I do if the enemy's strength is insufficient?"

"Even if you are lacking in strength, with your numbers, you will definitely not be Lu Bu's opponent." Cao Cao shook his head and said, "To find out the situation, you only need to go down the mountain quickly and report everything to me, and that will be a great achievement."

I thought Cao Cao wanted him to knock down the hillside, but unexpectedly he just wanted him to launch a strong attack on the hillside. Xiahou Dun immediately replied, "Don't worry, my lord, I will find out the situation and report back."

********************************************
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xiahou Dun selected 3000 troops and rushed to the hill where Lu Bu was stationed.

On the hillside, seeing a group of people rushing this way, Lu Bu smiled and said to Sun Ce and Zhao Yun: "I am afraid that Cao Cao is estimating our food and grass. He thinks that the food and grass should be eaten long ago, but he sees that I still refuse to go down the mountain. People come to try."

"The one who came seems to be Xiahou Dun." Looking down the mountain, Sun Ce said to Lu Bu: "Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's fierce general. It is said that he has the ability to defeat ten thousand people. Cao Cao ordered him to come. Maybe it is not a test."

"If it wasn't for probing, we would never have sent such a small number of people." Lu Bu said, "Since he sent someone over, if he didn't respond, I'd be sorry for Cao Cao. You two are guarding on the mountain, and I will lead the soldiers to meet and fight. .Firstly, to kill Xiahou Dun's vigor, and secondly, to practice to relieve troublesome soldiers."

"As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can Marquis Chu lead his troops to fight in person?" Sun Ce said immediately, "Although Xiahou Dun is a powerful general in the world, I would not be afraid of him when it comes to martial arts. It's better for Marquis Chu to sit on the mountain and let me go I will meet Xiahou Dun."

"Of course I believe in Bofu's ability, but it's not suitable for you to go." Lu Bu said: "We have been stationed here for a month, and the soldiers eat and sleep every day. They are already at a loss. They saw a landslide victory, and even if we won, morale wouldn't be much higher."

When Lu Bu said this, Sun Ce didn't know how to respond.

When it comes to martial arts, he and Xiahou Dun should be just brothers. It is not easy for him to defeat Xiahou Dun, and it is not so easy for Xiahou Dun to defeat him.

But Lu Bu is different.

Looking around the world, none of the generals who can compete with Lu Bu on the battlefield has really appeared so far.

Those ruthless people on the battlefield, no matter who they are, as long as they see Lu Bu, they are definitely not opponents alone.

Lu Bu rushed down to fight with Xie Fanbing, Xiahou Dun was definitely no match for him, Xie Fanbing was not far behind Cao Cao's Tiger Guards in individual combat power, but after all they had the advantage of fighting from the top of the mountain, especially There are a total of 5000 Xiefan soldiers, and the Cao army brought by Xiahou Dun seems to have only more than 3000 people.

With several decisive factors, it is an indisputable fact that Lu Bu defeated Xiahou Dun.

But Sun Ce still felt that something was wrong, and he said to Lu Bu: "I know the ability of the Marquis of Chu, and I also know that the mere Xiahou Dun is nothing. But as I said just now, the Marquis of Chu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If you do anything, the soldiers will be finished..."

"If I can't even deal with Xiahou Dun, I deserve to have an accident." Lu Bu smiled at him and patted his arm lightly: "I understand Bo Fu's thoughts, and I ask you to believe that with Xiahou Dun's fundamental You can't do anything to me. The purpose of this time to meet the enemy is just to let Cao Cao know that the enemy he is facing this time is no longer Lu Bu who was in Xiapi."

Sun Ce fought for the chance to attack, but Lu Bu refused.

Zhao Yun, who was next to him, said to Lu Bu: "The Marquis of Chu personally led the troops to fight. I have no objection. I just want to ask Marquis Chu to remember that the generals in the army respect Marquis Chu. No matter what, they must not be injured by the enemy." .Once Marquis Chu is injured, it will be a big blow to the morale of the soldiers."

"Bo Fu and I don't live as long as you, so it's fine for him to say such things." Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Why does even Zilong say such things?"

"It's not that I want to say such a thing." Zhao Yun replied: "It's just that I think it is necessary to explain the matter clearly when Chuhou insists on attacking. If there is something in the words that makes Chuhou listen It’s refreshing, and please forgive me.”

"I've written down what Zilong said." Lu Bu also patted Zhao Yun's arm, and said, "You and I haven't known each other for a day or two. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lu Bu graciously told him to say whatever he had to say, but Zhao Yun didn't know what to say.

He bowed to Lu Bu and said, "I don't have any extra words, but please be careful, Marquis Chu."

"Soldiers on the mountain, I'll leave it to you." Lu Bu nodded towards Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, greeted the soldiers of the troubled soldiers, and led them to the mountainside. "

Xiahou Dun led three thousand Cao troops, charged from the foot of the mountain, and ran quickly to the top of the mountain.

Lu Bu, on the other hand, led the Jiefan soldiers and charged from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

The two sides encountered each other a little lower on the mountainside.

Looking up at Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun roared angrily with his halberd in hand, and rushed towards him.

Lu Bu also yelled, and came to meet Xiahou Dun.

The soldiers following the two, because they met on the mountainside, did not have time to pick up their longbows and shoot arrows at each other, just like them, they ruthlessly slammed into the charging enemy.

The soldiers of both sides collided violently on the mountainside.

Lu Bu and Xiahou Dun fought together, and it didn't take a few rounds, Xiahou Dun was already a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Lu Bu again, after fighting with Xiahou Dun for a while, he didn't feel the slightest effort. Every time he talked about drawing a halberd, he took Xiahou Dun's vital points.

Reluctantly holding on to fight with Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun felt more and more powerless.

In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the soldiers he brought were not much worse than the Jiefan soldiers selected by Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce chose to relieve the troublesome soldiers, he would practice every day of course.But since she was a general of Lu Bu's personal army, most of the drills were arranged by the school lieutenant. Only a few times, he had the opportunity to personally train the soldiers.

Since the number of drills is not many, the overall combat effectiveness of the Jiefan army is now inferior to that of the Baiyan army and the trapped camp.

The trapped camp was taken to the Yanjin battlefield by Zhou Yu, while the Baiyan army followed Pang Tong to resist Yuan Tan on Mount Tai.

The only ones who followed Lu Bu to Dangshan were Jiefan soldiers, who were barely considered elite.

Precisely because Jiefan soldiers can barely be regarded as elites, they and the soldiers led by Xiahou Dun are only brothers.

The soldiers brought by Xiahou Dun attacked from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. They were at a disadvantage in position, but they were not repulsed by the annoyance soldiers because of this, but they kept holding on.

Compared with the soldiers who were fighting, Xiahou Dun who was fighting with Lu Bu was not so calm.

No matter where he is, Xiahou Dun can be regarded as a fierce general.

But he happened to meet Lu Bu.

In front of Lu Bu, no matter how brave the general is, it is absolutely impossible for him to be his opponent.

Lv Bu fought more and more bravely, Xiahou Dun retreated step by step, and was gradually forced to retreat among the soldiers he brought.

In front of him were the soldiers of the two sides who were fighting. Xiahou Dun was squeezed into a group of Cao troops, and he was still waving his halberd to resist Lu Bu.

Every time he swung his halberd, Xiahou Dun felt a sense of lack of strength.

When he went up the mountain, he talked too much, but after encountering Lu Bu, he realized that the world's most powerful general was not something he could compete with.

Seeing that Xiahou Dun was about to retreat behind the Cao army, Lu Bu swept out a huge circle with his halberd.

Swept by the ring he swung out, several Cao Jun fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Jun next to him saw his companion fall, but he continued to resist the onslaught of Jiefan soldiers as if he hadn't noticed anyone dying beside him.

In order to chase Xiahou Dun, Lu Bu rushed into Cao's army.

Some Cao Jun charged towards him with weapons in hand, and with a bang, he danced the painting halberd like a spinning windmill, and swept all the Cao Jun who rushed up to the ground.

After a fight with Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun knew that he could not be his opponent, so he shouted to the soldiers: "Withdraw! Follow me down the mountain!"

Following his order to retreat, Cao Jun, who was fighting with Jiefan soldiers, retreated one after another.

Xiefan soldiers would not let them retreat easily, and followed closely behind without falling behind.

Cao Jun fought and left, Lu Bu led the Xie Fan soldiers to press on step by step. Seeing that they were about to kill the foot of the mountain, Lu Bu found a group of people and horses in front of them, rushing towards this side.

What rushed over was a supporting Cao army.

Seeing the Cao army, Lu Bu greeted the Jiefan soldiers: "Don't chase, come back with me!"

It wasn't until he gave the order to withdraw that the Jiefan soldiers stopped and followed him back to the mountain.

After losing a game, Xiahou Dun returned to Cao Cao's barracks under the escort of his supporters in a very embarrassing situation.

Cao Cao had been watching the battle, Xiahoudun came to him, and he asked, "Yuan Rang, how is it?"

"Lü Bu is very brave. I am indeed no match for him." Xiahou Dun replied, "Thanks to the high morale of the soldiers, even though they were defeated, they would not retreat. Beyond the woods."
