Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286 Lu Bu's Happiness

Chapter 280 Six

At the same time that Lu Bu took Xun Yu away, Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun on the other side finally caught up with Cao Cao who had taken the first step.

"Meng De, Mr. Xun Yu was taken away by Lu Bu." Xiahou Dun said with a sad face when he saw Cao Cao.

"Mr. Xun Yu was taken away by Lu Bu to save the two of us. We are both too weak in force." Looking at Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan's face was full of grief and indignation, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.In the past, Xia Houyuan was still very confident in his own military power, but today, Lu Bu shattered all his dreams. Xia Houyuan did not think that his years of hard training would be nothing to Lu Bu.

"You two don't need to pay too much attention to it. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The important thing is that we can learn from our failures. The next time we meet Lu Bu, we will let him return the money with interest." This time Lu Bu The blow to Cao Cao was also great. First, it threatened Cao Cao's life. Later, when he met Tai Shici, Cao Cao was able to protect himself. Although it was dangerous, it gave Cao Cao a glimmer of hope. The sky is not kind to him, although he was defeated, he accidentally got help from an expert. Cao Cao believed that as long as he had Xun Yu's help, Cao Cao would soon gain a foothold in Yanzhou and develop his strength well.It was thought that Lu Bu would kill him again and take Xun Yu away, which made him completely defeated.At this time, Cao Cao's heart was filled with monstrous hatred. He hated Lu Bu, and secretly swore in his heart that he would beat Lu Bu to the ground.

"Meng De, what should we do now?" At this time, the soldiers Cao Cao managed to obtain had been scattered by Lu Bu, and the other generals were also missing, Xiahou Dun asked hesitantly.

"Go back, let's go find Yuan Shao. As the saying goes, wherever you fall, get up there. As long as I can persuade Yuan Shao to send troops, I will still have a chance to defeat Lu Bu, and I will be ashamed." Cao Cao's eyes burst out, and the corners of his mouth There was a slight chill.

At this time, Zhongmu City was decorated with lanterns and festoons. Red lights were hung high on the dilapidated city tower, and all the soldiers entering and leaving the city gate were all red and smiling.The whole city is bathed in happiness.All the princes in the prefect's mansion slaughtered chickens and sheep, exchanged cups and exchanged cups, and congratulated the victory of this war together.

"This battle depends on all of you fighting the enemy bravely. Now Dong Zhuo has lost a lot and his strength is not as good as before. It is only a matter of time before our army advances to Luoyang. Come and drink this cup to celebrate." Yuan Shao sat in a high chair On the main seat, holding a golden wine cup in his hand, he greeted the princes next to him.

"Hehe, everything is due to the leader's leadership, and our army can be so fast that we can defeat Dong Zhuo. I have heard that Yuan Shu's army has not even been able to capture Wancheng. The brave Sun Jian is even more pitiful, under the defeat, he even disappeared, and it is estimated that he is dead in all likelihood." Zhang Yang, the prefect of the Shangdang, looked at the crowd and said jokingly when he saw Yuan Shao was happy.

"It's all because Yuan Shu lacks ability, but he wanted to lead the army alone, but in the end he dragged down the army. Fortunately, our side won, otherwise this battle would be dangerous." Gongsun Zan also said at this time.

"Hey, speaking of it, our army did not win this time easily. Wasn't Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang also killed by Lu Bu?" Bao Xin said.For the cruelty of this war, Bao Xin has a deep understanding. He must have had two experiences of narrowly escaping his life, and his younger brother Bao Zhong also died in this war.

"As a minister, the emperor suffers, and we shall fight with our lives. A few casualties are nothing. This time Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo alone, but he didn't know what the result would be?" Gongsun Zan said suddenly at this time.

"Hmph, although Dong Zhuo was defeated, there are still Lu Bu and others by his side. Cao Cao acted without authorization, fearing that he would not be able to get any advantage, and feared that he would be fleeing at this time. This Cao Cao usually thinks he is smart, but he doesn't know that poor people don't chase after him." The truth.” When Cao Cao was mentioned, Zhang Yang said with some contempt.

"Hey, although Cao Cao is eager for quick success, he must be a fellow of my generation, so please don't say any more." Yuan Shao waved his hand, stopping everyone from talking about Cao Cao.At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and an unkempt man covered in blood came in from the outside. The princes were shocked at first, but after a closer look, they could see clearly that the person who came in was not Cao Cao, but who it was.

"Meng De, what's wrong with you, why are you in such a mess?" Seeing Cao Cao coming in, Yuan Shao immediately stood up and asked, his eyes were full of doubts, but after thinking about it, he understood and was relieved.

"Hmph, for the sake of the rise and fall of the great Han, I, Cao Cao, led the troops to pursue Dong Zhuo alone. In the end, I met Lv Bu and returned in a big defeat. What do you think?" Cao Cao's ignorance rose in his heart as soon as he entered Zhongmou City.Cao Cao did not expect that while he and the enemy were desperately working hard and almost died, the rear was singing and dancing to celebrate the victory.

"Hey, Meng De, even though Dong Zhuo is defeated, he is not easy to deal with. I warned you a long time ago, but you just don't believe it. This is a terrible loss. Seeing how haggard you look, you should go down and rest first. Tomorrow I will mobilize a large army to attack Luoyang, and I will definitely avenge you." Seeing Cao Cao covered in blood, Yuan Shao vowed.

"Tomorrow?" Cao Cao was obviously not satisfied with Yuan Shao's reaction, and continued, "I just fought against Lu Bu. Although Lu Bu won the victory, his soldiers and horses are exhausted. If we can send elite troops to attack overnight, we will surely capture Lu Bu and cut Dong Zhuo’s wings in one fell swoop. The resurgence of the great Han is just around the corner. What are you waiting for? Is there a better opportunity than this?” Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and the others, talking eloquently road.

"Well, what Meng De said has some truth." When Cao Cao said this, Yuan Shao nodded a little tempted.

"Cao Cao, it is true that Dong Zhuo's troops are exhausted now, but why isn't our army exhausted? At this time, Dong Zhuo has lost a lot. If we pursue closely, Dong Zhuo will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and there will inevitably be a big battle. If we The army can slow down, wait for our soldiers to cultivate, and explain that our soldiers are strong and strong, and Dong Zhuo's people are panicked. If nothing else, the superiority of our army is enough to deter the enemy. Isn't this better than Is it more cost-effective to use the elite to fight? Meng De, you are not red-eyed by killing, you also want us to follow in your footsteps." Yuan Shaozheng was a little moved, when he saw the prefect Zhang Yang stood up and said.

"Well, from this point of view, our army should advance slowly, so that we can defeat others without fighting." After hearing Zhang Yang's words, Yuan Shao also felt that it would be risky to send out elite troops. The soldiers and horses in the hands of the princes must be damaged. Once he wanted to send elite troops to fight, he, Yuan Shao, would naturally have to bleed.But now that Dong Zhuo was defeated and the overall situation was settled, Yuan Shao was naturally unwilling to devote any more troops to this war. On the contrary, what the princes and Yuan Shao were concerned about now was how to divide the interests once the coalition forces captured Luoyang.At that time, it is very likely that there will be some fights. Thinking about it this way, Yuan Shao and the other princes will naturally lose the interest in chasing and killing Dong Zhuo.

"You guys, all of you are very sanctimonious, but you didn't expect that you are just short-sighted guys. I, Cao Mengde, am all with you, and I want to rely on your strength to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Haha, I was really wrong. I mistaken you guys. The filthy villain treats the loyalty of the big man. Go to hell with me.” Seeing these people with evil intentions, Cao Cao suddenly became angry. These villains who pursue self-interest, Cao Cao now doesn't even understand whether he used the power of the princes to defeat Dong Zhuo, or the princes used him to expand his influence.But Cao Cao had already seen the result of this war.This war will not save the great man, and Dong Zhuo will still become the number one prince in the world.

"Cao Cao has been hit too hard, just let him go." Seeing Cao Cao leave in anger, Yuan Shao said something lightly and ignored him.On this point, Yuan Shao showed the demeanor of the great noble family of the Yuan family. Obviously, his skill in nourishing qi is not bad.

At the same time, Lu Bu returned to Xingyang City with a group of generals and soldiers. Lu Bu didn't feel anything wrong with defeating Cao Cao in this battle, but he was very happy to get Xun Yu, although Xun Yu was defeated by Lu Bu. Kidnapped, although Lu Bu also knew that Xun Yu would not help Lu Bu do anything for quite a long time in the future.But this still made Lu Bu very happy.In Lu Bu's view, whether Xun Yu or Taishi Cidou is just a strong horse, a strong horse waiting for him to tame.As for how to tame them, Lu Bu believed that as long as they were by his side, he would eventually tame them. Lu Bu felt that his patience was still very good.

"Hahaha, Lu Bu is so happy to see Mr. Wen Ruo, whom I have been friends with for a long time. In particular, Mr. Wen Ruo brought me Mr. Gongda and General Ziyi. The greatest blessing in life is that To be able to meet the heroes of the world, I never thought that I, Lu Bu, would meet three of them at the same time in one day, I really don’t know if there is anyone happier than me in the world.” Looking at Xun Yu, uncle Xun You, nephew Xun You and Tai Shi standing in front of him Kindness.Lu Bu was in a good mood and high-spirited. Lu Bu could already imagine how much his power would skyrocket when he really convinced the three people in front of him.A few days ago, Lu Bu felt that he had not picked up any advantages in this battle, but after only a few days of work, he had already gained such a harvest, which has to be admirable.With Xun Yu, Xun You and Tai Shici, compared with Lu Bu's original plan to receive Dong Zhuo's remnants in Xingyang, Lu Bu has already planned to give up this plan to receive remnants of soldiers.After all, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers but hard to find a general. In this troubled world, getting real talents is much more useful than having those cannon fodder soldiers.
