Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 71 People's thoughts retreat

"Benchu, let's retreat." After sending the princes away, Cao Cao hesitated, looked at Yuan Shao and said.

The most disgusting part of Lv Bu's capture of Xingyang is here. Lv Bu can harass Chenggao's grain road at any time. Ao Cang was taken again, and Dong Zhuo sent troops from Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Yique Pass to guard the four cities. Lu Bu blocked the pass outside the pass as before. Consumed.

It is impossible not to retreat, and it is unwilling to retreat. After all, this Chenggao is the only achievement they can show off to the world since they started their army, but now they have to give up.

But as far as the situation is concerned, it must be retreated.

"I can't retreat, if I retreat, people's hearts will be scattered!" Yuan Shao suddenly turned his head and looked at Cao Cao: "Meng De, you should help me, you will definitely help me, right?"

Cao Cao involuntarily took a step back, only to realize that Yuan Shao's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "At first, it was because I didn't help you, but now that people's hearts are gone, it's hard to force them to stay."

Those princes came here before to express their intention to withdraw their troops, and there were even more ruthless ones, to disband the alliance directly. If the alliance was really dissolved, Dong Zhuo might not punish everyone for the sake of stability, but Yuan Shao would definitely be unlucky. Time must be the target of the court.

Cao Cao can understand Yuan Shao's current mood very well. Once the alliance loses this time, as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao is likely to be targeted by Dong Zhuo and the princes who don't want to provoke Dong Zhuo again. No matter how badly he was beaten before, there will always be some fig leafs. In a stalemate with Dong Zhuo, they are still fighting for the righteousness of the world, even if they lose, they are still righteous.

But Lv Bu suddenly took a back route this time. If the alliance is disbanded at this time, then this righteousness will not be able to stand. The treatment is not as strong as Dong Zhuo's, and it is almost a deadly situation. How can Yuan Shao not be in a hurry?

"Lv Bu!" Yuan Shao knelt down and slapped the table fiercely. Ever since Lu Bu appeared on the battlefield, he has never passed by. , although the coalition forces captured Chenggao, it was also because of the opponent's internal friction.

Although the allied forces won Cheng Gao in that battle, it was Lu Bu's prestige that was promoted. The princes of the eight towns were killed and the rats ran away, and the 60,000 army failed to stop the opponent's two or three thousand troops.

I thought this matter was over, but who would have thought that Lu Bu came back again and entered Ao Cang single-handedly, Hu Zhen's trash was gone just like that, and Lu Bu, who had won the military power, came to Hulao Pass the next day, thousands of people and horses Blocking the Xiongguan Pass garrisoned by an army of 100,000, Lu Bu even stole the limelight in front of the Pass.

I thought he would continue like this, although he was a bit useless, but he would leave naturally when he ran out of food. Who knew that Lu Bu would make an illusion of setting up camp here, and led his army to Xingyang in a blink of an eye. Xingyang was stationed by 20,000 troops The city was attacked by the opponent with cavalry. Zang Hong is also a famous scholar in Guangling, he is known as a strong man with integrity, he is familiar with the art of war, and he is not a weak person to be bullied. Yuan Shao wanted to ask the opponent how this battle was fought?

Now if Lu Bu was in front of him, Yuan Shao really wanted to eat him alive. This series of harassments made the face of the coalition army almost swollen by him, and because of this, the princes all had the heart to withdraw their troops and dissolve the alliance.

"At the beginning of the day, the future will be long. Let's retreat today and avoid it for a few years. I think that Dong Zhuo is acting more aggressively now, and there will inevitably be chaos in Guanzhong. At that time, Benchu ​​will make a comeback. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely help you!" Cao Cao clapped his hands. Yuan Shao's shoulder, relieved.

"But there's no need to wait that long!" A loud laugh came from outside the door, but seeing the door curtain being raised, a scribe came in, looked at the two and said with a smile.

"Ziyuan?" Seeing this person, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were overjoyed. Cao Cao welcomed him in and said, "I haven't seen Ziyuan these days, and I thought you had already left."

"I went to Dong Zhuo's camp just now." Xu You smiled.

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Xu You, and then at Yuan Shao. The two of them had something to hide from him, but they just didn't know it at the moment. He asked with a smile, "Why did you go to Dong Zhuo's army?"

"Surely persuade Dong Zhuo to retreat!" Xu You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo has already moved the people of Heluo to the sky, and there is a large army in the sky, but there are Qiang rebellions such as Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, and there is Baibo in the east of the river. The thieves blocked the way back at any time, and Dong Zhuo didn't want to continue the fight, the reason for the stalemate now is just to win a reputation, and told me to wait because he was afraid of us, but he just didn't want to entangle him any more."

Cao Cao nodded. He could figure out Dong Zhuo's thoughts to some extent. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Now that Lv Bu has captured Xingyang, there is no news from Dong Zhuo's side. I may not agree to retreat!"

"So I'm going to go to Dong Zhuo's army again, and ask him for an imperial edict to recall Lu Buji's subordinates." Xu You laughed.

"Lü Bu may not agree." Cao Cao shook his head. This general will be outside, and the military order will not be accepted. Under such circumstances, how could Lu Bu agree to retreat?

"Lü Bu's subordinates are all the Xiliang army. Even if I don't want to take Dong Zhuo's edict to Xingyang, Meng De thinks that the Xiliang army has the same thoughts?" Xu You said with a smile: "Then Lu Bu's ability is indeed amazing, but although Cutting off our army's retreat, but it is not a dead end. Although Lu Bu has won several battles in a row, it is difficult to hide that his army is alone. The soldiers are exhausted, and the army is thinking about returning. There is a volume of Dong Zhuo's edict, and I will go to Xingyang to lobby , I will tell Lu Bu to retreat obediently."

Although it was unintentional, there was somewhat contempt for Lu Bu in these words.

Cao Cao didn't dare to underestimate Lu Bu. If he was really just a reckless man, he wouldn't have beaten the coalition forces into such a mess. You must know that from the beginning to the end, Lu Bu had no more than 5,000 people around him, and the record he achieved was by no means A brave man can take it down, even if the Xiliang army is really strong.

"Then trouble Ziyuan to go again! Make sure to persuade Lu Bu to retreat!" Yuan Shao took Xu You's hand and said in a deep voice, "Shaozhi's life depends entirely on Ziyuan."

Xu You straightened up his chest, and immediately supported Yuan Shao, who was about to bow down, and said: "My lord, you don't need to say much, it's your duty to share your worries, so why bother, my lord, wait a moment, I'll go there again Dong Zhuo is in the army."

Yuan Shao nodded, and sent Xu You away with an expression of emotion, all the way out of Guancheng before stopping.

Cao Cao leaned on the female wall and looked at the joint battalion of the Xiliang Army in the distance. He also hoped that Xu You's plan would be successful, otherwise the alliance of the Kwantung princes would become a joke.
