"Thank you Wenhou for the kindness of my family."
After reuniting with Xu Taigong and his party, seeing that his father was safe and sound, the heart that Xu Chu was carrying along the way finally fell into his stomach, and he solemnly saluted Lu Bu again.
"It's okay, it's the emperor's order."
Lu Bu got off the red rabbit horse, waved his hand, and sat on the ground a little tired, this battle, they won more with less, although they won, but their own losses were great, not only died in battle, but the people who survived were also exhausted one by one, and even the red rabbit horse was extremely tired.
"Even so, Wen Hou's grace does not dare or forget."
Xu Chu shook his head, he is a person who admits death, and if he owes his kindness, he must pay it back.
"Let the soldiers set up camp."
Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Tonight, I'll rest here for the night, and then go on the road tomorrow." ” Although it was still early, it was obviously difficult for these soldiers to continue their journey.
Xu Chu nodded and began to arrange for the soldiers to set up camp.
"Marquis Wen, there was a letter from your majesty before."
After Xu Chu left, the commander of the dark guard stepped forward and bowed down to deliver a roll of silk.
"What's the matter" Lu Bu took the silk.
"Your Majesty ordered us to contain Ji Ling, not to make Ji Ling return to Fenqiu, Your Majesty is ready to lead the army to gather and annihilate the defenders of Fenqiu."
The Dark Guard commanded.
"It's not good" Lu Bu glared when he heard this, suddenly got up, and said sharply: "Quickly send someone to inform Zilong and order him to intercept Ji Ling" Although this battle was won, Ji Ling was afraid that he would not be in the vicinity after this defeat, and if Ji Ling was allowed to return to the city, then Liu Xie's plan would be in vain.
"Huh" The Commander of the Dark Guard hurriedly responded and went to arrange for someone to summon him.
"It's trouble" Lu Bu looked at the sky and said with a wry smile, it is difficult for his team to participate in the war in a short period of time, at least two days of cultivation, whether the secret guard can convey the information to Zhao Yun in time Whether Zhao Yun can react in time is a big problem.
Liu Xie wants to attack Fenqiu with all his might, and Lu Bu is naturally willing, but whether he can drag Ji Ling back now may not be.
Watching the Dark Guard Commander leave, Lu Bu thought for a while and said to a relative entourage beside him: "You immediately rush to Wuyin and report this matter to Your Majesty, and plan for the worst." ” If Ji Ling retreated to Fenqiu before Zhao Yun arrived, then Liu Xie's plan would have to change, either give up, or gather troops to besiege Fenqiu, cut off water and food, and prepare for a long-term battle.
"Huh" Hearing this, he agreed, dragged his tired body, changed a war horse from the secret guard, and quickly rode away.
Yang Zhai, after learning that Ji Ling sent troops, Zhao Yun immediately ordered troops to go out, all the way to the direction of Chen State, after receiving the information from the secret guard, Zhao Yun was about to rush to Chen State.
"Wen Hou has already won" Looking at the content of the letter, Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, this victory was too fast, so that Ji Ling had the advantage of troops and didn't have the courage to continue the pursuit, and it also made Liu Xie's plan uncertain, and it was the first time that he felt that winning too fast was not a good thing.
"Zilong, we have detected that there is a large force heading in the direction of Fenqiu, it should be Ji Ling's troops."
Fan Chou frowned and said: "The other party seems to have discovered our army, according to the time, I am afraid it has been at this moment."
"Chasing" Zhao Yun's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how small the hope is, you can't give up until it's decided." ” "Okay," Fan Chou nodded.
When the two of them led the soldiers and horses all the way to the outside of Fenqiu Cai City, they saw Ji Ling's troops entering the city.
"This" Fan Chou looked at Zhao Yun with a wry smile, just a little bit.
"Set up camp and inform Your Majesty and Marquis Wen of this."
Zhao Yun sighed and gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to break in, there are nearly 50,000 Yuan troops in this Fenqiu City, even if they kill it, the city is not very wild, and the cavalry has no advantage in the street battle, and these more than 7,000 soldiers and horses may soon be swallowed by the other party, and there is not even a slag left.
The matter has come to this, and we can only wait for the next order of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, it seems that things have become a little complicated."
Wuyin Camp, when he received the letter from Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, it was already early the next morning, looking at the letter from the two, Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie with a wry smile.
Ji Ling's return to the city also means that Jia Xu's previous plan to quickly capture Fenqiu has come to naught, and now if he takes Fenqiu, he can only follow the regular way, cut off water and food, and force Ji Ling out step by step.
"Order Lu Bu to solve the matter in his hand as soon as possible, and I will wait to meet under Fenqiu City" Liu Xie stood up and said solemnly.
Although there are some regrets, it is impossible to make everything come true, since there is no way to capture Fenqiu immediately, then according to Jia Xu's statement, besiege Fenqiu.
"Whoa."
Jia Xu bowed.
On the same day, Liu Xie led the guard battalion to leave the Wuyin camp and went all the way to Fenqiu.
On the other side, after receiving Liu Xie's letter on the third day, Lu Bu summoned Xu Chu.
"I don't know what Wen Hou called me for," Xu Chu bowed.
"Your Majesty, we are going to rush to Fenqiu immediately, after all, you have worked for Yuan Shu's command, so you will escort your family and rush to Nanyang by yourself" Ji Ling's army is now cowering in Fenqiu City and does not come out, whether it is to Nanyang or Luoyang, there will be no more danger on this way, ordinary thieves or something, with Xu Chu's ability, it is not a problem at all.
"I'm going to give an explanation."
Xu Chu nodded, went to inform Mrs.
Xu of the matter, and came back after a while: "The last general has been arranged." ” "You have to go too," Lu Bu frowned and looked at Xu Chudao.
"Not bad" Xu Chu said solemnly: "This time the Xu family is guaranteed, thanks to Your Majesty, this time since the imperial court is going to fight a decisive battle with the Yuan army, the last general must go and do his best." ” Lu Bu frowned and said, "No matter what Yuan Shu says, he is also your old master."

Lu Bu has suffered too much loss in this kind of thing, and even now, there are still many people who criticize him for his past affairs.
"Wen Hou rest assured, when I contributed to Yuan Shu, I was coerced by Yuan Shu, and I was not loyal to Yuan Shu, and I have made a lot of contributions to him, and now I Xu Zhuang and Yuan Shu only have grudges, and there is no kindness."
Xu Chu said solemnly.
It's not that simple Lu Bu shook his head, he was a person from the past, and he knew very well what was at stake, but seeing Xu Chu's determined look, he didn't say anything more, he ordered the soldiers and horses at the moment, took Xu Chu again, and went all the way to Fenqiu.
When Lu Bu and his entourage arrived in Fenqiu, Liu Xie had already arrived, in addition, there were the Wuyin army led by Han De, the Wuyang and Yexian armies led by Cao Xing, and the soldiers and horses led by Wei Xu, adding up, there were 50,000 troops, plus Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's cavalry, there were nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses, and outside Fenqiu City, rows of neat camps were erected.
Lu Bu brought more than 100 people into the camp, and first asked people to go to the cavalry camp to return, while Lu Bu took Xu Chu to the main tent to ask Liu Xie for his guilt.
"Since you won, what is the crime" Liu Xie has learned the specific situation of that battle, this matter was not communicated in advance, and the news was not delivered in time, no matter how to blame Lu Bu, and for Liu Xie, although it is a pity that he failed to take the opportunity to capture Fenqiu, but Lu Bu has comprehended the talent of the military soul, for Liu Xie, in the long run, this gain is far greater than the loss, he commands fierce generals like clouds, but the talent of the commander is rare.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not getting drunk."
Lu Bubai said.
"Alright, get up."
Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help Lu Bu, turned his head, but looked at Xu Chu on the side, and said with a smile: "Zhongkang, we meet again." ” "The sin will be Xu Chu, see Your Majesty."
Xu Chu's burly body, pushing the gold mountain and falling to the ground like a jade pillar, the burly body, kneeling on the ground, like a small mountain crawling in front of Liu, quite shocking.
"Alright."
Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help him up: "The past things, each is his master, if you have to talk about the crime, then there is no one around me to use." ” Sitting on the handsome seat again, looking at Xu Chu, Liu Xie thought for a while and said: "Now I lack a commander of the forbidden army around me, responsible for my safety, all along, because of the rebellion of the Praetorian Guard, and although Wen Hou and others have courage, but they want to fight for me in the world, they are not suitable for the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, I don't know if Zhong Kang is willing to serve."
The forbidden army is the trump card in Liu Xie's hands, each of them is not only extremely loyal, but also not weak, but the position of the commander of the forbidden army has not been able to find a suitable candidate.
You must know that although the number of the Praetorian Guard is not much, only five hundred, but if you talk about martial arts, at least they are at the peak level of third-rate generals, and people with great skills are naturally more rebellious, ordinary generals can not take this Praetorian Guard, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun These people are enough, but these people are not only brave generals, but also handsome generals, all of them are generals who can lead the army to fight, to be a Praetorian Guard commander for themselves, it is too condescending, and because of this, the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard has been vacant or temporarily replaced by others.
Now that Xu Chu is here, this position naturally belongs to him, with Xu Chu's commanding ability, he can only command hundreds of people, and thousands of people are a little difficult, let alone let him be in charge alone, but as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xu Chu's ability is enough to do it.
"The last general is willing, thank you Your Majesty" Xu Chumune's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he knelt on the ground and bowed in worship.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, another general has been added," Lu Bu bowed to Liu Xie and smiled.
"It's time to celebrate, but it's not suitable for now, after this battle, I'll pick up the wind for Zhongkang."
Liu Xie smiled and motioned for Xu Chu to get up, turned his head to look at Lu Budao: "Next, the main thing is to attack the city, the cavalry is not suitable for attacking the city, I mean that Wen Hou will lead five thousand iron cavalry to the rear, if Yuan Shu sends an envoy, let him come, if Yuan Shu sends Yuan Jun Wen Hou knows what to do" Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Your Majesty rest assured." ” t1706231537:
