Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293 Losing Business
Chapter 290 Three

"Why do I have to do everything? I have enough troubles." Lu Bu said lightly and stopped discussing this issue with Zhang Liao.

"General, our flanks are under attack." Sun Jian led his troops to fight against the trapped camp, when a soldier suddenly reminded Sun Jian.

"Damn, what kind of formation is this and why is it so difficult to attack?" Hearing the soldier's reminder, Sun Jian showed an extremely ugly color on his face.Originally, according to Sun Jian's calculation, the soldiers and horses brought by Gao Shun must not be very strong. As long as he has an impact on his side, he can disperse them, and it will be smooth sailing for Sun Jian to intercept Dong Zhuo afterwards. Even if Gao Shun really intends to fight him recklessly, if Gao Shun sends troops to attack Mianchi at this time , then Sun Jian is likely to be attacked by the enemy, which makes Sun Jian have to worry.

"Send the order, the army will retreat, and we will return to the city." After taking a deep look at the formation in front of him, Sun Jian finally decided to retreat.Victory is what Sun Jian is eager for, but once the price of victory exceeds his expectations, Sun Jian is also unwilling. After all, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses are surrounded by Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses. Sun Jian does not believe that when he is surrounded by Dong Zhuo, Other princes can come to rescue.

"Major General, let's go back." Huang Gai couldn't help but said disappointedly seeing Sun Ce rushing to and fro, only to be blocked by the enemy force in front of him.

The performance of the army in front of him has exceeded Huang Gai's imagination. According to Huang Gai's understanding, this army should have been scattered and even fled under the impact of himself and Sun Ce.However, the development of the matter was completely different from Huang Gai's imagination. The army in front of him was like a pool of water. Wherever Huang Gai and Sun Ce rushed, they would be fought back desperately by the soldiers there. When they left, The hole that was torn just now will be filled up again by enemy soldiers.Huang Gai and Sun Ce fought for a long time, but they could only kill and kill in the encirclement of these soldiers.By this time, Huang Gai had a deep understanding of the horror of this army, and a hint of retreat spontaneously emerged in his heart.It just so happened that Sun Jian's order to retreat also came from behind him.

"Damn this battle is really aggrieved. Let's go back." Facing such a tenacious enemy army in front of him, Sun Ce was also very helpless and had no choice but to leave slowly.

"General Gao, Sun Jian is about to retreat, shall we chase after him?" Seeing that Sun Jian's side started to retreat, Wei Xu hurriedly challenged Gao Shun, while Cheng Lian on the side was also eagerly waiting for Gao Shun's order.

"No need, let's go back to the camp?" Gao Shun saw the earnest eyes of the two, but Gao Shun didn't satisfy the desire of the two, he just said something lightly, and then the orderer played the semaphore to withdraw the troops and return to the camp.

"This? Such a good opportunity, how can we retreat?" Hearing Gao Shun's order, Wei Xu was in disbelief.

"General Lu Bu handed over this team to me. My task is to keep this team well for General Lu Bu. Although Sun Jian is an enemy in front of us, fighting him will only bring us losses but no gains. Why do we still have to fight?" Where did you go?" Gao Shun turned around and taught Wei Xu a disaffected expression.Gao Shun still had a more important reason in his heart at this time, that is, Gao Shun faintly felt that after going to Yongzhou this time, Lu Bu would face a more complicated situation, and the power in his hands would play a more important role Well, Lv Bu is not a person who lives under someone else's roof, so who among these generals would want Lv Bu to be put under someone's roof?And all of this requires strength to achieve, so Gao Shun has no interest in the battle with Sun Jian, and Gao Shun is more concerned about the future development in Yongzhou.

After Sun Jian withdrew to Mianchi, he was caught in a dilemma when he saw Gao Shun's barracks outside the city and the slow-moving team slowly heading towards Chang'an from the other side of Mianchi city.

"Father, look over there, this Dong Zhuo is so ruthless that he even took Luoyang's officials and people to move to Chang'an, shouldn't we be with him?" Sun Ce beside Sun Jian looked at the team that was slowly heading towards Chang'an outside the city Said.

"General Huang Gai, what do you think of us going to fight him?" Sun Jian looked at the team outside the city and asked Huang Gai with a solemn expression.

"Once we send out troops, we will definitely be blocked by Gao Shun. If Gao Shun just blocked it, it's nothing. I'm afraid he won't block it, but will wait for us to grab something before taking action to snatch it. Not only will our army lose nothing, but it will be in danger. Besides, there are a lot of civilians in Dong Zhuo's team, and the casualties of the civilians during the battle are not small." Huang Gai looked at the troops outside the city with serious eyes. Said.

"Don't we do nothing, just watch Dong Zhuo go to Chang'an in a big way?" Sun Ce said a little excitedly after hearing this.

"It's not necessary. Although our army may not get anything, it can harass Dong Zhuo's team. Once they are in chaos, they may not be unstoppable. Just beware of Gao Shun." Huang Gai thought for a while and said.

"In this way, not only will we not gain any benefits, but may also bring losses? Let's forget about such a thankless thing. Although Luoyang is already a piece of scorched earth, Dong Zhuo is eager to leave. As long as we take the lead If you arrive, you may not be able to get anything." After listening to Huang Gai's analysis, Sun Jian finally made a decision.

At this moment, there was dust flying in the distance, and the sound of horseshoes could be heard, but they saw a team of ten thousand people coming from a distance, which surprised many people.The first person in the team wore a fiery cloak and put on golden armor, and sat down on a group of red horses. Many people were already familiar with this scene. It was Lu Bu who came and drove over with his wolf cavalry.

On this side Lu Bu came with wolf cavalry, on the other side Gao Shun's barracks immediately started to move, and rows of neat troops came out to meet them. A pretty figure at the gate was looking forward to the camp gate. Although it was far away, Lu Bu could see it clearly. This person was Lu Bu's beloved wife Cai Yan. Standing there blankly, he looked towards Lu Bu who was here.

"The return of the general, I'm looking forward to it. Fortunately, what the general has explained, the subordinates have lived up to their fate." Upon seeing Lu Bu, Gao Shun prostrated himself on the ground first and said.

"Hehe, I'm relieved to see that you're all fine." Although Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun was a steady person, there would be nothing wrong with these people handed over to Gao Shun, but he didn't feel at ease until he saw Gao Shun now.

"These days when the general is away, madam misses the general very much, general, go and see." Seeing that Lu Bu was talking to him, but his eyes were already looking at Cai Yan, Gao Shun naturally knew what was good and bad, so he said casually After saying a word, he waved his hand and led the generals away, leaving time for Lu Bu and Cai Yan.

"Are you okay?" Lu Bu didn't know what to say when he looked at Cai Yan, who was blushing in front of him. He seemed to have thousands of words in his heart, but when it came to his lips, he could only turn into this greeting.

"Everything is fine with my family, and I'm sorry, General." Looking at Lu Bu, Cai Yan suddenly felt a little shy, made a blessing, said something softly, then turned and walked towards the barracks. Lv Bu nodded and motioned for Lv Bu to follow. However, in Lv Bu's eyes, these actions made Lv Bu laugh a little bit. However, Lv Bu was used to giving orders in the military camp. What to do.

"Uh, you go back first, I still have some military affairs to deal with, I'll see you later." Looking at Cai Yan's back, Lu Bu finally said this after a while.It's not that Lu Bu didn't want to drag Cai Yan into the tent right away, it's just that this is a military camp after all, so Lu Bu couldn't let the soldiers call Lu Bu lustful anyway.Although it is no secret that Lu Bu is lustful.However, you still need to retain some majesty in front of your subordinates.

"I didn't expect Lu Bu to come at this time. It seems that Yuan Shao's men are not far away." Watching Lu Bu and Gao Shun meet from the Mianchi tower, Sun Jian said calmly.

"General, what should we do next? We can't let Yuan Shao enter Luoyang City first." Huang Gai said worriedly.

"Of course, pass on the order. We will sneak away after dark today and go to Luoyang. I don't believe Yuan Shao can catch up with us." Sun Jian said firmly.

On Lu Bu's side, a group of generals gathered in the big tent, and Gao Shun was reporting the details of this period to Lu Bu.

"By the way, have you dealt with the goods we got in Runan last time?" After listening to Gao Shun's report on the military, Lu Bu suddenly asked.That batch of wealth was the largest fortune Lu Bu had achieved so far, and Lu Bu cared about him very much.

"Uh, this? The property has already been transported to Chang'an, most of it has been exchanged for land deeds according to the general's instructions, and a small part of it remains in Chang'an. Just, just." Gao Shun heard Lu Bu's question. He stammered and said.

Seeing Gao Shun's expression, Lu Bu was startled and thought that something was wrong with that batch of goods, but he was relieved after hearing Gao Shun's words.

"Since it's all done, what's the point?" Seeing Gao Shun's sluggish expression, Lu Bu asked in bewilderment.

"Hey, the general doesn't know. Although we have a lot of land now, the Luoyang residents who have moved to Chang'an have been looted by Xiliang soldiers. I'm afraid they won't have the money to buy land when they arrive in Chang'an. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get back the investment?" Gao Shun finally said with a bit of heartache and annoyance.Anyone would have thought that once the capital was moved to Chang'an, Lu Bu, who had accumulated a large amount of land in Chang'an, would definitely make a fortune, but who would have thought that the people who went to Chang'an were all poor people?At this time, Dong Zhuo had plundered all those wealthy families, so that Lu Bu's business seemed to have turned into a loss-making business.
