Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 616
"My lord, I let Liu Bei run away because of my negligence in the next moment." At this time, Xu Chu had already come to Lu Bu's side, and wanted to say to Lu Bu, holding his hands, brooding over the fact that he had not been able to catch Liu Bei.

"Hahaha, Liu Bei has escaped. I expected it. General, don't worry too much. Nothing happened to your group, right?" Lu Bu didn't care about Liu Bei's escape, but asked Xu Chu with concern.

"Don't worry, my lord. I've been prepared for the battle, but Liu Bei only knows how to run for his life, so how can he win us?" Seeing Lu Bu like this, Xu Chu couldn't help being moved.

"My lord, I brought General Xiahou here. General Xiahou is willing to serve the lord with me, and please take him in." At this moment, Cao Ren who was on the side came over, bowed to Lu Bu and said, Cao Ren stood beside him. The one who was following him was Xiahou Dun.

"Next Xiahou Dun is willing to surrender to the Lord Regent, and please take him in." Seeing that Cao Ren had introduced himself, Xiahou Dun quickly knelt down on the ground and said to Lu Bu.

"Hahaha, General Xiahou is finally willing to come to my place. Lv Bu has always considered it a great regret in his life not to be helped by the general. Now that the general has come to help me, I am very relieved." Seeing Xiahou Dun voluntarily surrendering, Lu Bu He stepped forward and patted Xiahou Dun on the shoulder and said with a laugh.

"Thanks to the regent's perseverance, Xiahoudun is willing to lead troops to pursue Liu Bei, and please ask the regent for approval." Seeing Liu Bei's enthusiasm, Xiahoudun said to Lu Bu.

"Hehe, the general has worked hard all this way, why don't you take a break before making plans." Seeing that Xiahou Dun was going to lead his troops to chase Liu Bei, Xun Yu beside Lu Bu persuaded with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Could it be that the regent doesn't trust me, Xiahou Dun?" Seeing that Lv Bu hadn't spoken yet, Xiahou Dun continued, "If I can't say that Liu Bei is captured, I'm willing to be dealt with by military law."

"What is General Xiahou talking about? Mr. Xun Yu is afraid that the general will make a mistake. Although Liu Bei has been defeated many times, it is not easy to catch Liu Bei, unless the general knows where Liu Bei has gone at this time?" Regarding one of Xiahou Dun's plans to pursue Liu Bei, Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Don't worry, my lord, there is a harbor fifty miles south of here, which is where Jiang Xia usually trains his navy. Liu Bei has nowhere to escape if Jiang Xia is lost. The only chance is to go to that harbor, and then take a boat to Soochow. , if we can rush to that harbor one step ahead of time and control the ships anchored there, even Liu Bei will be hard-pressed to fly." Hearing what Lu Bu said, Xiahou Dun immediately opened his mouth and said his plan.

"So that's how it is. Then General Lao Xiahou will go there. General Cao Ren, you should go with me. I'll have someone to help you on the way." Seeing that Xiahou Dun's words were reasonable, Lu Bu nodded and said to Cao Ren who was at the side.

"If you win the regent Chengquan, I will definitely offer Liu Bei's head." Seeing that Lu Bu agreed to his request, Xiahou Dun said hastily.

"General, if you can't catch Liu Bei, it's nothing. Liu Bei is no longer successful, so you don't have to worry too much about it." Seeing that Xiahou Dun was about to leave, Lu Bu said.It turned out that Lu Bu knew that it was not easy to capture Liu Bei, not to mention that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were not idle people around Liu Bei. If Liu Bei wanted to escape, even if Lu Bu went in person, he might not be able to win. This action did not bring much hope.

"My lord let Xiahoudun go like this, aren't you afraid that Xiahoudun will go and never come back?" Seeing Xiahoudun and Cao Ren leave, Xun Yu suddenly said.

"Hehe, if Xiahou Dun goes away and doesn't return, where can he go? Today's Xiahou Dun just wants to make great contributions to me, so let him go, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xiahou Dun to make this contribution." Lu Bu said lightly. With a smile, he was not optimistic about Xiahou Dun's pursuit of Liu Bei.

"In front of my lord is the place where our army stops the ship." Seeing a small harbor not far ahead, Zhao Yun hurriedly said to Liu Bei beside him.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the small place we prepared would actually be used now, but it's hard for us to get on the boat just like this." At this time, Liu Bei sighed and said.

"Brother, don't worry, Cai Mao's navy is no match for the Soochow navy. As long as the Soochow navy makes a move, we can leave safely." At this time, Guan Yu also said.

"Grandma, I didn't expect Lu Bu, who was inconspicuous in the past, to have such strength now. It's really difficult to deal with." Thinking of what happened today, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh.

"Everyone, hurry up and board the ship. We'll wait until we see the military advisor Zhuge. I believe the military advisor will find a solution." Seeing that he had reached the side of the boat, Zhao Yun said.

"Boom..." Everyone was boarding the boat when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind them. They turned around and saw a cavalry chasing up. The first one, with a black helmet and black armor and a long knife in his hand, was none other than Xiahou Dun. One of the generals next to Xiahou Dun was none other than Cao Ren.

"Grandma's Xiahoudun and Cao Ren dare to come at this time, I will not take their skin off." Seeing Xiahoudun and Cao Ren leading the troops, Zhang Fei jumped up, his eyes rounded, shouted angrily, and grabbed the people around him. Zhangba Snake Spear was about to charge forward.

"Xiahoudun and Cao Ren are indeed deceiving people too much, it's not too late to go after their heads are removed." Zhang Fei also stood up at this time, going to kill Xiahoudun and Cao Ren.

"Little thief Liu Bei, do you think you can escape from my hand? Come, shoot me an arrow." Seeing Liu Bei's men and horses boarding the boat, Xia Houdun didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly waved behind him. , Immediately took off the long bow, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards Liu Bei and the others.

"Whoosh whoosh!" Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were about to go ashore to fight Xiahou Dun, but they were shot back by a rain of arrows and had to retreat into the boat again.

"Two virtuous brothers, please be safe and don't be impatient. Let's sail quickly. If Lu Bu's soldiers and horses arrive, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." He said a word, and then ordered: "Start the boat."

"Shoot me quickly, don't let Liu Bei run away." It looks like Liu Bei's boat has already started, Xiahou Dun was very anxious, and quickly got off his horse.He personally grabbed the bow and arrow and shot at Liu Bei's boat, but the boat had already started, and Liu Bei was surrounded by soldiers guarding him with shields. How could it be so easy for Xiahou Dun's feathered arrows to be shot.

"Grandma, if Liu Bei really escapes, how can I explain it?" Seeing that Liu Bei's boat was getting farther and farther away, and his feathered arrows were almost out of reach, Xiahou Dun shouted a little dreamily, wishing he could personally drive the boat to pursue him .

"General Xiahou, don't panic. Although Liu Bei is on board, we are not helpless." At this time, Cao Ren came over and said with a smile.

"What clever plan does General Cao Ren have? Tell me quickly." Seeing Cao Ren like this, Xiahou Dun asked with a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Come on, take off your clothes and launch me into the water, and cut through Liu Bei's boat." Cao Ren waved his hand behind him and said.

Immediately afterwards, many soldiers who thought they were good at water stepped forward, took off their clothes and pants, and plunged into the water one by one.It turned out that although Xiahou Dun was the prefect of Jiangxia, he didn't bring many soldiers from the north. He was stationed in Jiangxia, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command were locals in Jiangxia. These people grew up on the riverside and were naturally good at water. , and Liu Bei's new field soldiers are much worse in this respect.

"Hahaha, I want to see how Liu Bei, a landlubber from Youzhou, can survive the Yangtze River." Seeing this scene.Xiahoudun naturally laughed out loud. Although Xiahoudun didn't have any water quality to speak of, but Xiahoudun knew that Liu Bei was from Youzhou, and his water quality was naturally poor. So for Xiahoudun's Jiang Xia soldiers, it was not a good idea to catch Liu Bei. A breeze.

But he said that Cai Mao was leading troops on the Yangtze River to wait for news. Suddenly, a soldier rushed over and said nervously, "General Qi, something is wrong. We found a large number of Soochow navy behind our army."

"What is the Soochow navy? Do you know who is leading the troops?" Cai Mao frowned when he heard the Soochow navy arrived, and asked the soldiers.

"Hehe, why do you need to ask more questions, General, Zhou Yu is now in charge of the Eastern Wu Navy, and those who want to come here this time have no intention of despising Zhou Yu." Hearing Cai Mao's question, before the soldiers could answer, Pang Tong spoke first.

"Sir, Zhou Yu is here with troops, I'm afraid we will hide for a while." Hearing that it was Zhou Yu who came, Cai Mao asked tentatively.

"Hehe, Zhou Yu's coming here just happens to make the general's reputation. If the general can defeat Zhou Yu, the regent will definitely look at the general differently in the future. If the general cannot defeat Zhou Yu, the regent will not blame the general if he wants to come. In this case, the general and Why don't you take a chance?" Seeing that Cai Mao didn't have the confidence to fight Zhou Yu, Pang Tong said with a slight smile.

"What you said is very true, so I will fight with my back. It's just that I will wrong you and worry with me." After listening to Pang Tong's words, Cai Mao nodded, then turned around and sent an order to the soldiers behind him: "Order all ships to Jiangxia The shore shrinks."

Hearing Cai Mao's order, Pang Tong was obviously taken aback, then nodded, knowing that Cai Mao had made up his mind to fight Zhou Yu.You must know that Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses are far above Cai Mao. If Cai Mao's navy stays in the general and may be divided and surrounded by Zhou Yu's navy, the reason why Cai Mao deployed the navy along the river bank is to prevent being attacked by Zhou Yu. surrounded by the army.

"Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, I don't know if after this battle, you will still be as unrestrained as before." Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the approaching Zhou Yu's navy, Pang Tong slightly opened his mouth and said to himself.
