Lu Bu drove his troops all the way to the north of Meng Zhuze, and soon the scouts reported that the fleet from Xuzhou had stopped at the shore and was resting, and did not notice the incoming army.

Lu Bu was even more happy.

The scouts had previously reported that there were tens of thousands of stones of rations in the fleet, enough to supply the army for several months. This was also the reason why Lu Bu came in person for a small ship robbery.

At this time, the night is lonely, there is no one around, it is quite peaceful and a bit deep. The stars on the river bank are swaying slightly, and they are like duckweeds in the sea, floating helplessly in the night.

Seeing that the other party was unaware, Lu Bu immediately ordered an attack on the fleet, trying to capture all the food in the shortest possible time.

Soon the battle started, with golden drums beating and people shouting loudly. A large number of Lu Bu army soldiers rushed towards the river bank in a swarm.

At this moment, lights appeared from all sides, and the river and the river banks were full of fire, forming long dragons, and the entire sky was red and hot.

Lu Bu was frightened for a moment, thinking that he had been ambushed, and was about to retreat immediately.

At this time, a large number of soldiers on the main ship shouted in unison: "Is this Marquis Lu Wen on the other side? My general said, why did you leave in such a hurry when you meet your old friend again? Why don't we meet him in person?"

Lu Bu was even more confused. It was only then that he realized that he still didn't know who the person he wanted to rob was.

At this moment, a man stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Marquis Wen, the general has surrounded this place. You know the general's methods, so why bother to resist?"

At this moment, a long-lost name appeared in Lu Bu's mind. He followed Cao Ang to fight the Qiang and Huns, and fought against the Huns. He knew Cao Ang's methods, and he knew even more clearly that if he was ambushed by Cao Ang today, he would probably die.

At this time, the general Gao Shun said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful of fraud, we should break out of the encirclement quickly."

But Lu Bu said: "You have never fought with the general, so you don't know how powerful the general is. He is extremely resourceful. Since he has set up an ambush, there is no possibility of leakage."

So Lu Bu took the lead and headed towards the river bank. This seemed to be Lu Bu's only choice.

"Your Majesty, beware."

His subordinates tried to dissuade him one after another, but Lu Bu paid no attention to it and said disapprovingly: "The general is upright and aboveboard. He is not a person who secretly shoots secret arrows. He will not hurt me!"

Lu Bu arrived all the way to the river bank, and Cao Ang was waiting on the boat. Because it was night, although the two were not far apart, they could only vaguely see each other's face.

"Lü Bu pays homage to the lord!"

Lu Bu dismounted and saluted Cao Ang.

Although the two were on separate sides, Lu Bu's respect for Cao Ang never diminished.

"Fengxian, I haven't seen him for several years since we parted ways in Xihe. Fengxian has gained such a great reputation. But when we meet again today, I see that Fengxian looks a little haggard."

Cao Ang's words made Lu Bu's eyes turn red. Who could know the injustice he had suffered over the years?

"Your Majesty, I."

"I am fully aware of Fengxian's affairs. Many things are due to errors and mistakes for various reasons. Some of them are Fengxian's fault, and some are not Fengxian's fault. I don't want to mention them today.

The reason why I am here today is not to attack Fengxian, but to escort the queen to Chang'an. Therefore, Fengxian's reckless behavior today is not my fault, but Fengjia's."

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this.

Although Lu Bu was labeled a traitor by the Chang'an court, he still had a good reputation based on his murder of Dong Zhuo. But if the news of robbing Queen Fengjia spreads, his reputation would be extremely bad.

Although Lu Bu doesn't care much about his reputation, those hypocritical aristocratic families do. When he is shouted at and beaten by everyone, no one will dare to support him.

So Lu Bu immediately said: "Please forgive me, Queen. What happened today is all a misunderstanding. Lu Bu dare not offend Feng Jia."

Looking at Lu Bu's appearance, Cao Ang discovered that Lu Bu had repeatedly encountered obstacles in the past two years, but his character had become a lot more mellow. If he had been in the past, he would not have made mistakes easily.

"First of all, in memory of the great friendship we had in the past, I will let you go today. Just go ahead and make sure you don't do the same thing again."

After hearing this, Lu Bu felt relieved.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Lu Bu cupped his hand and turned around.

At this time, Cao Ang shouted again: "Fengxian, I want to give you a few words before I leave. I know that you are thoughtful and unwilling to give in. You hope to create a world on your own, but I tell you, this is impossible.

Although the world is big and the stage is vast, there is no place for you in the Central Plains. If you continue to stay here, you can only die without a burial place.

You are a fierce general. You should aim at the frontier and fight outside the Great Wall. You should have the ambition to eat the meat of the Huns when you are hungry, and drink the blood of the Huns when you are thirsty for laughter.

So I suggest you go back to Bingzhou, back to Yanmen, back to Shuofang, back to the battlefield against the barbarians, so that you can live up to your abilities and start well and finish well."

Lu Bu was silent for a moment after hearing this.

"Junhou, can I still go back?"

"You can go back, as long as you are willing, you can always go back."

"But I don't want to."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he got on his horse and went to the back of the formation without waiting for Cao Ang's reply.

Cao Ang watched Lu Bu leave without saying anything.

Returning to the cabin, Liu Ye asked in a low voice: "The general is too kind to Lu Bu. In today's situation, it is not difficult to leave Lu Bu."

Cao Ang sighed: "It is easy to kill a Lu Bu, but it is difficult to survive a Lu Bu."

For Cao Ang, Lu Bu's failure in Yanzhou was only a matter of time and did not affect the overall situation. But Lu Bu's escape direction after his failure was the top priority.

Lu Bu is a very destructive person who can sometimes be of great use.

Just like the Yanzhou Rebellion in history, it was a huge crisis for Cao Cao, but Cao Cao took advantage of this crisis to clean up the interior of Yanzhou. In the Battle of Guandu in history, Cheng Yu led a partial division and

Defended Yanzhou.

Because all those disloyal forces died during the Yanzhou Rebellion.

Lu Bu is still useful to Cao Ang.

"Besides, who can guarantee that Lu Bu will be kept? We only have two or three people."

When Lu Bu left the shore and returned to the army, his back was already wet. Until now, he was still frightened and could not believe that Cao Ang would let him go.

At this time, Gao Shun said: "Although the Xuzhou army has an ambush, if they let our army go, they may not be able to devour the strength of our army. I think the Xuzhou army is bluffing. If you can fight back, you will definitely defeat the enemy."

"That's the Queen. Do we want to rob the Queen?"

Lu Bu didn't take Gao Shun's words seriously. In his opinion, Cao Ang let him go because he was confident that he could defeat him again.

"You have never fought with a general, so you don't know how terrifying the general is.

Look at the battlefield, even though it was night, I could see it very clearly. The frontal battlefield is narrow, which is conducive to ambushes. To the west is a river embankment, which is convenient for hiding ambush troops; and to the southeast is a dense forest, which is a good place to hide troops.

If you don't believe it, you can go and see if there is any ambush.

If I make the slightest move rashly today, the general will probably tear me to pieces."
