The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 182 Lu Bu: Xuzhou, here I come!
"Your words are true!"

Although Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor this time, he was not in a state of intoxication. He still thought about annexing the whole Han world in one fell swoop, and becoming Han Gaozu, Guangwu Emperor and the like.

Now that there are many princes in the world, Lu Bu is indeed a rare benefit to him.

What's more, just after he proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce, who was far away in Wu County, turned his head and drew a clear line with him.

He even accused him in letters.

This made Yuan Shu's mood a little worse when he proclaimed himself emperor just now.

And with Lu Bu coming this time, Yuan Shu was naturally overjoyed at the first moment.

Yuan Shu vaguely remembered Lu Bu's bravery before Hulao Pass.

If he could get Lv Bu's help, he would be many times stronger than that little boy Sun Ce.

In the final analysis, is it just the case of a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness?
Those aristocratic families support Yuan Shao, isn't it because the illegitimate son is very good at doing this kind of superficial skills!
Yuan Shao can do it, so why not Yuan Shu!

What's more, the situation in the world has changed now, and he is now the emperor of the Zhong family.

It is not impossible to learn from Han Gaozu and his ilk, and it is not impossible to be a corporal!

Yuan Shu persuaded himself in his heart, then paused, looked up at the officials under his command again, and said.

"Since that's the case, I'll hold a banquet outside Shouchun City and have a talk with that Lu Bu!"

On that day, at Shenshi, the gate of Shouchun City was opened wide.

Yuan Shu led all the officials under his command to invite Lv Bu outside the city for a talk.

It was said that Lu Bu took Cao Xing and a group of guards straight to the large tent that Yuan Shu had just built outside the city.

Not long after, Lu Bu and others arrived at the tent.

"Wen Hou is safe and sound!"

Outside the big tent, Lu Bu came with someone, and Yuan Shu greeted Lu Bu with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Bu wanted to reprimand him.

Fortunately, Cao Xing gave him a hand, which allowed Lu Bu to endure it temporarily.

However, Lu Bu at this time was not polite to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu in front of him was wearing a black crown dress in front of him, with a twelve-bead crown on his head, a proper act of arrogance.

This guy completely considers himself a king now.

Lu Bu had already seen Yuan Shu's guard of honor from a distance just now.

"Brother Lulu is so handsome!"

Lu Bu was not in a good mood, and he didn't pay attention to Yuan Shu's current title of emperor at all. In his opinion, Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor is completely out of his mind!
Even if he were Lu Bu, he would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Although Yuan Shu was a little displeased that Lu Bu didn't honor him, he didn't say much on the surface.

Now Lu Bu is a very good help to him, and it is not the time to turn his face.

"Does Wenhou want to stay in Huainan for now?"

Yuan Shu issued an invitation. If Lu Bu could stay, it would be the best thing for him.

It's just that he just opened his mouth when Lu Bu's expression darkened, and he refused directly.

"No!"

"This trip arrived in Shouchun, and Bu came here only to form an alliance with Brother Gong. Forgive Bu, it is really unwise for Brother Gong to call himself emperor this time!"

Now that Lu Bu thought of his purpose, his tone softened a little, and by the way, he also spoke a word of advice to Yuan Shu.

It's just that now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, after experiencing the beauty of the name of emperor, how can he give up so easily.

Yuan Shu didn't take Lu Bu's advice to heart.

However, since Lu Bu came here for an alliance, they can continue to cooperate with each other.

"The destiny of the great man is gone. It is a matter of course for me to accept the destiny this time. Please don't talk too much!"

Replying to Lv Bu, Yuan Shu didn't listen to the other side's advice at all.

At this time, Lu Bu couldn't help cursing again.

If he didn't need Yuan Shu's help this time, he would have blown up on the spot.

Lu Bu's face dropped and he didn't continue to speak.

Seeing that Lu Bu was interested, Yuan Shu continued, "Since Feng Xian doesn't intend to stay in Shouchun this time, is there a place to go?"

He already knew in advance that Lu Bu was going to bypass his area and directly attack Xuzhou, so what he said this time was considered knowingly.

Lu Bu didn't hesitate to hear Yuan Shu's question, and responded directly: "Bu intends to occupy the land of Xuzhou, this time I still need Brother Gong's help!"

Lu Bu said bluntly, Yuan Shu subconsciously nodded.

When he attacked Yanzhou before, he was defeated by Cao Cao and was chased all the way by the opponent. Yuan Shu kept this matter in his heart until now.

Since the land of Xuzhou was taken by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu hated Cao Cao even more.

It's just that they have attacked Xuzhou several times before, but they have found nothing.

Now that Lu Bu intends to attack Xuzhou, this coincides with his thinking.

Although Lu Bu has not yet recognized his title of emperor, Yuan Shu is not in a hurry for some things.

He glanced at Lu Bu, the corners of his mouth curled up.

The Lu Bu in front of him is stronger than Sun Jian back then. Sun Jian had a cooperative relationship with him back then, and he didn't work for him later.

Lu Bu is now coming from far away from Bingzhou, and his army has exhausted its food and grass long ago.

Now Lu Bu has no choice.

He needs to cooperate with himself, and he also needs someone to help him take the initiative to conquer the world.

The two have their own ideas.

Yuan Shu felt that as long as he controlled Lu Bu's rear area, it would be like controlling Sun Jian back then.

At that time, Lu Bu, once the food and grass run out, will definitely bow his head and surrender.

"This matter is easy, please don't worry, you can tell me the food and grass you need!"

Yuan Shu opened his mouth and directly complied with Lu Bu's request.

Hearing this, Lu Bu's complexion could not help but improve a little.

"Then thank Brother Lu for your help!"

With the matter of Yuan Shu's assistance in food and grass, Lu Bu couldn't help but gain a bit of confidence in capturing Xuzhou.

At this moment, Lu Bu didn't feel disgusted looking at Yuan Shu's face.

What does it have to do with him if the other party proclaims himself emperor?

He didn't bow down either.

And Yuan Shu was able to claim the title of emperor this time because of the background of the Yuan family. If it were someone else, he might not have much confidence.

After accomplishing the goal, in the big tent outside Shouchun City, the guests and hosts had a good time.

The next day.

With a big wave of his hand, Yuan Shu directly dispatched Lu Bu with food and grass for [-] Xiliang troops for a month, and by the way, he also dispatched his general Ji Ling and Lu Bu to send troops to Xuzhou.

Lu Bu, who got the food and grass, did not hesitate at all, and led the army directly to Xuzhou all the way.

……

When Lu Bu and Ji Ling each led their armies towards Xuzhou, they were in Xiapi of Xuzhou at the same time.

Xiahou Dun, who had just switched defenses with Cao Ren, was suffocating.

As a general, no one is willing to take on the task of defending the city.

What's more, this is a time when the world is in trouble. For Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, this time is the time to follow Cao Cao to calm the world and make contributions.

However, because of Xi Yu, his elder brother Cao Cao was so unhappy that Cao Ren seized the opportunity to change positions with him.

It wasn't until after arriving in Xuzhou that Xiahou Dun realized how boring defending the city was for a general.

Simply, he can take advantage of this opportunity to train troops.

However, Xiahou Dun found the newly recruited [-] soldiers distasteful.

Compared with the thousand brave soldiers who were stolen away by him, these new soldiers who entered the camp now are even more difficult to catch the eye.

However, Xia Houyuan was simply by his side, so this period of time was considered reluctant.

"Yuan Rang, I just received news that that guy Yuan Shu has declared himself emperor!"

When Xiahou Dun was leading the recruits to train in the camp, Xiahouyuan came to him in a hurry.

As soon as it came up, the news Xiahouyuan brought made Xiahoudun's pupils dilated involuntarily.

"What are you talking about, that guy Yuan Shu actually proclaimed himself emperor?"

After hearing the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Xiahoudun was taken aback for a moment, but Xiahoudun immediately came to his senses.

This time, Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself the emperor happened to be an opportunity for him.

He was worried about being idle in Xuzhou, and the news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor just gave him an excuse.

Anyway, if Meng De heard such news, he would definitely choose to attack Yuan Shu. This time, Na Shouchun was not far away from him, and he happened to be able to lead troops to attack Yuan Shu.

For Xiahoudun, Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor is nothing more than death!
When Yuan Shu attacked Yanzhou before, he followed Cao Cao to chase Yuan Shu all the way, and the opponent was almost vulnerable in his eyes.

"Miaocai, good job!"

???

When Xiahou Dun heard the news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the corners of his mouth were about to crack, but Xiahouyuan in front of him was a little dazed.

Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, what can you be happy about?
"Yuan Rang, it's an act of usurping that Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor this time. Why are you so happy?"

Xia Houyuan asked aloud, and Xiahou Dun responded with a curl of his mouth when he heard this.

"Miaocai, I'm happy just because that guy proclaims himself emperor!"

"Right now, you and I are in Xuzhou. It's time to have nothing to do. Now that Yuan Shu is proclaiming the emperor, you and I just take this opportunity to send troops to attack Yuan Shu."

Ok?
Send troops to attack Yuan Shu?

Xiahouyuan glanced at Xiahoudun strangely: "But this time, my brother didn't write to you and me. If you send troops rashly..."

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but chuckled: "As the saying goes, the general is outside, and the emperor's life is not accepted, not to mention that the person in charge of the court is Meng De!"

"Why, are you still worried that Mengde will blame you and me?"

Xiahou Dun curled his lips, paused and continued.

"This time Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, and after Meng De knows about this, he will certainly send troops to attack Yuan Shu. However, he happens to be leading the army to march west now, so it may be difficult for him to raise troops for a while!"

"And you and I are stationed in Xuzhou, and now it's just the right time to attack Yuan Shu, so why hesitate?"

"Are you afraid of that guy Yuan Shu?"

Xiahou Dun chuckled, and the corners of Xiahouyuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

As far as Yuan Shu is concerned, there is nothing he should be afraid of, what Xiahou Dun said is right.

If Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, Cao Cao will inevitably raise his troops to attack.

Right now they are marching against Yuan Shu, and there is no problem at all.

"Elder brother is right, since that's the case, Yuan will listen to elder brother!"

Nodding towards Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan agreed with the former.

At this time, the two of them had a discussion and quickly summoned their generals, including some of the guards who were originally stationed in Xuzhou, plus the newly recruited soldiers, no more, no less, exactly 3 people.

……

"Yuan Shu is a traitor, he is a traitor, he pretends to be emperor, I want to raise troops to attack..."

Outside the city of Xiapi, Xiahoudun led an army to swear an oath, and after some remarks, he led his army straight to Shouchun.

At this time, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan didn't know that Lu Bu had already courted Yuan Shushang, and that with Yuan Shu's support, the other party was leading troops to the border of Xuzhou at the same time as Ji Ling.

When Lu Bu crossed the border of Xuzhou, Ji Ling had already led the army to successfully capture the small border town of Xuzhou.

As for Ji Ling's choice to stop for a while after capturing the border towns, Lu Bu didn't care at all.

He crossed the town, this time heading straight for Xiapi City.

At this time, it was only a short time after entering Xuzhou, and when they were in the field, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army in front of them turned back soon after exploring their horses.

"Your Majesty, the Xuzhou army is coming towards the border!"

After visiting Ma Lai to report, Lu Bu was a little surprised by the sudden news.

Something is wrong!
He had just entered Xuzhou not long ago, and it was impossible for the Xuzhou defenders to find him so soon.

Coming towards me?

Lu Bu was a little strange, but in this situation, Lu Bu did not panic at all.

After ordering Xiliang soldiers to ambush in place, Lu Bu waited for the Xuzhou defenders without any haste.

Just after noon, Lu Bu could see from a distance on the hillside the mighty Xuzhou defenders coming towards us in the distance.

With just one glance, Lu Bu could tell.

These Xuzhou defenders who just came towards him did not have too strict rules and regulations during the march, so that they looked a bit like a miscellaneous army.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bu seized the opportunity to march almost instantly.

"Left and right, listen to my orders, and when the army in front reaches Baizhang, the army will rush to kill with me!"

Lu Bu was carrying iron cavalry from Xiliang, while most of the Xuzhou soldiers in front of him were foot soldiers!
When he marched, he didn't even release many horses.

Naturally, Lu Bu would not let go of such an opportunity.

In a short while, when Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were a hundred feet away from the Xiliang army, following Lu Bu's killing cry, the entire mountain forest and the Xiliang iron cavalry echoed.

The wind driven by the cavalry was strong, and the sound of horseshoes was like a rushing river.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan couldn't react enough when they woke up in a flash.

How could the two of them have thought that there would be a group of ambush soldiers in Xuzhou in front of them.

Because of this, Xiahou Dun didn't even send out many horses.

In fact, the two never thought that there would be other soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.

And the appearance of soldiers and horses has proved that the entire Xuzhou border has been lost now.

"Brother, there is an ambush!"

The sudden appearance of soldiers and horses made Xia Houyuan anxious!
He never thought that before the two of them attacked Yuan Shu, the opponent had already sent troops to attack Xuzhou first!

It is true that when Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou, he defeated Yuan Shu's attacks several times, so that Yuan Shu rarely moved in Xuzhou for more than a year!
Even if Yuan Shu's army was mobilized, it was just outside the border of Xuzhou, just for show!

The two never thought that there would be a large army attacking Xuzhou at this time.

"Miaocai, tell the soldiers not to panic, and line up in place!"

run!
Where are you going?
Both Xiahoudun and Xiahoudun were surrounded by endless plains, and those who appeared not far in front of them were obviously cavalry!

If they ran now, the army would not be able to escape very far, and would even be consumed by the cavalry all the time.

Right now, there is only an array of resistance!

It's just that Xiahou Dun's thinking of some things is too simple!

Among the soldiers he has summoned now, there are [-] soldiers who are all recruits, and these soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, how can there be any discipline in this effort?
The cavalry came in mighty form in the distance, and these recruits were already heartbroken.

Immediately, most of the people dropped their spears and fled in all directions.

As these recruits began to disperse spontaneously, even the soldiers and horses of the original Xuzhou defenders and Xiahou Dun also panicked.

The army is in disarray.

At that time, Xiahou Dun could no longer control himself.

"Lu Bu, that's Lu Bu!"

When Xiahou Dun yelled to calm down his soldiers, Xia Houyuan beside him couldn't help but lose his voice.

And Lu Bu's name also poured into Xiahou Dun's ears.

"Lu Bu?"

Almost instinctively, Xiahou Dun raised his eyes and looked into the distance. In the distance of his field of vision, a figure was very conspicuous among the iron cavalry.

The tall red horse has a more colorful robe of flowers on it, and the three-pronged purple gold crown on the top of the head flutters in the wind.

With just one glance, Xiahou Dun's pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Lu Bu?
How could this guy appear here now? Since Lu Bu is here, the cavalry in front of him are Xiliang iron cavalry!

Almost instantly, Xiahoudun sensed something was wrong.

When he lost his mind
Suddenly, a hidden arrow in the distance flashed in front of his eyes.

"what!"

"Yuan Rang, brother!"

Seeing Xiahou Dun suddenly fall from his horse, Xiahouyuan who was beside him suddenly panicked.

He didn't care about the Xiliang iron cavalry rushing from a distance, and jumped off the horse.

When it landed, Xia Houyuan was already in front of Xiahou Dun.

When Xia Houyuan checked Xiahou Dun's situation, he raised his eyes and saw a sharp arrow stuck near his forehead. At this glance, Xia Houyuan felt that his heart was clenched.

"Brother!"

After holding Xiahou Dun in his arms, Xia Houyuan saw clearly that the sharp arrow in front of him didn't hit Xiahou Dun's forehead, but happened to be inserted into the opponent's right eye.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun's face was blood red, and the corners of his mouth were still trembling.

"Brother!"

Seeing Xiahoudun's appearance like this, Xiahouyuan couldn't care less, shouted at the guards on the left and right, and hurriedly led the army to retreat.

Not far away, Lu Bu's gaze also fell on Xiahoudun and the two of them. When he saw their situation clearly, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to charge away.

He could see clearly the arrow just now, it was Cao Xing who was right behind him and shot it out.

I never thought that this arrow hit the opponent's leading general by coincidence!

However, Cao Xing's strength was a little weaker than his own. If he shot this arrow, the guard who was fleeing in the distance would have already been pierced by the sharp arrow!
