Chapter 181 Scare away Cao Cao
After Leyang left, Chen Chu turned his gaze to Lu Bu, looking helpless.
Lu Bu was so scared that he shrank his head and lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chen Chu's gaze. At this time, Lu Bu's appearance seemed a bit like a child who did something wrong. If those who were scared by the name of Lu Bu would definitely be surprised to think that they were dreaming.
"Fengxian, I really don't understand why you and Yide are so incompatible with each other!"
Lu Bu lowered his head, smacked his lips, and said nothing.
Chen Chu shook his head and sighed. He really had no choice but to deal with the two treasures of Lu Bu and Zhang Fei. They were like they were born rivals. If one day they met together, it would be strange.
"Lord, why don't I catch Zhang Fei back?" Lu Bu suddenly raised his head and said, and then he was about to leave.
Chen Chu quickly called Lu Bu. It's really a joke. If Lu Bu chased him, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire!
Lu Bu had no choice but to stand beside Chen Chu in disappointment and wait for Chen Chu's orders.
At this time, several medical officers had already treated Chen Chu's wound again, and then an older medical officer clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Lord, your injury is not light, don't move rashly!"
Chen Chu nodded with a smile to the doctor. Seeing this, the doctor couldn't help feeling flattered.
Chen Chu lowered his head and thought: Leyang may not be able to catch up with Zhang Fei. If Zhang Fei really enters Cao's camp alone, it will be dangerous!
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Chu immediately ordered: "Xue Jian, you..." Chen Chu suddenly stopped because Chen Chu still didn't know how many people Lu Bu brought.
"The last general is here." A young general came to Chen Chu and responded.
Chen Chu nodded, then turned to ask Lu Bu on the side: "Fengxian, how many people have you brought back this time?"
Lu Bu immediately replied with his fists: "Report to the lord, the last 200,000 army will be brought back, including 40,000 cavalry. On the way, he returned to the Canglang Camp that was advancing from Jiguan east!"
Chen Chu was shocked and asked, "What should I do if you bring back a 200,000 army, then what should I do with Guanzhong's defense?" It is normal for Chen Chu to have such a question, because the total number of troops handed over to Lu Bu to the south was only 150,000. After deducting losses, even if Lu Bu used the power given to him by Chen Chu in Guanzhong to expand the army, the 200,000 would probably be the entire amount.
"Don't worry, lord, our army still has nearly 100,000 troops in Guanzhong." Lu Bu replied, with a smug look in his expression.
Chen Chu was shocked again when he heard this, but he did not continue to ask questions, but asked another question, "How many cavalrymen are there in total who are coming here with Fengxian?"
"There are more than 60,000 cavalry in total, of which Canglang Camp is 42,000, and the rest are the light cavalry units of the Luoyang Legion and the Bingzhou Legion."
Chen Chu nodded, then turned to Xue Jian who was waiting for the order and ordered: "General Xue immediately led all the Canglang camps to support General Zhang Fei!"
"The last general is responsible!" Xue Jian said with his fist and then stepped onto the war horse and went down the hillside. Xue Jian came with Lu Bu. He was the second deputy general of the Bingzhou Legion, and the first deputy general was Gao Shun. In Chen Chu's army, a legion usually has three deputy generals, and the first deputy general is second only to the commander of the legion.
After Xue Jian left, Chen Chu ordered Lu Bu: "Send someone to clean the battlefield and collect our brother's bodies! In addition, set up a camp here. By the way, when will the large army arrive?"
Lu Bu replied: "I led the cavalry first, and the large army will probably not arrive until tomorrow morning!"
Chen Chu nodded and said, "Go and give orders."
"Yes." Lu Bu clasped his fists and agreed, then stepped on the horse and left.
After Xiahou Dun escaped, he ran eastward. After a few quarters of an hour, he met Cao Cao's troops moving westward.
Seeing Xiahou Dun in a messy look, Cao Cao and his generals were shocked.
"Yuan Rang, how did you look like this? Where are your cavalry?" Cao Cao...
asked anxiously.
Xiahou Dun knelt down in front of Cao Cao, and reported with shame: "Lord, the last general is incompetent! All the cavalry under his command are wiped out!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao was shocked, "How is this possible?"
Xiahou Dun then said things carefully from beginning to end, and finally said: "It's almost time to capture and kill Chen Chu! But a cavalry of tens of thousands of people in the North Envoy arrived suddenly! The leader was Lu Bu! The Mo General was outnumbered, and in the end, only Mo General and a few others escaped from the siege!"
"Lu Bu?!" Cao Cao frowned and murmured. At this time, Le Jin, who was beside him, said in confusion: "Didn't Lu Bu lead his army to Guanzhong? Why did he appear here?"
Cao Cao nodded, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the night sky in front of him, "Cao Zhe, your grandfather Zhang Yide is here! You dare to come out to fight for three hundred rounds!" It turned out that Zhang Fei, who was angry with Lu Bu, was chasing him here.
When Cao Cao suddenly heard this shout, he was startled and asked anxiously: "But the Northern Army of the Conquest has arrived?"
Upon hearing this, a general volunteered to ask Cao Cao for his order: "Lord, I will go and inquire!"
Cao Cao nodded, and the general immediately drove away.
A moment later, the general came back from a horse and reported: "Reported to the lord, there is only one general of the Northern Army who is scolding the enemy, and no trace of the Northern Army has been found! That general is Zhang Fei, who fought with our army some time ago!"
When the general Xiahou Yuan, who was beside Cao Cao, heard this, he immediately asked for instructions: "Lord, while Zhang Fei is alone, General Xu Chu and I will capture him!" The words were quite excited.
Cao Cao nodded. Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu saw this, immediately stepped onto the war horse and was about to gallop away. At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly changed his expression and said anxiously: "Slow!"
Xiahou Yuan, who had just started, Xu Chu and the others suddenly grabbed the war horse sadly, then turned their heads and looked at Cao Cao with confusion.
Looking at the generals' confusion, Cao Cao smiled mysteriously and explained: "The General of the Cavalry has always been cunning, so how could Zhang Fei come to challenge him alone! So I concluded that Zhang Fei was just a bait, and the Northern Army must have set up an ambush!"
When all the generals heard this, they all showed a sudden expression.
"What should our army do?" Le Jin asked.
Cao Cao couldn't help but frown and thought: The situation of the Northern Expedition Army is unclear, and Lu Bu, who shouldn't have appeared, actually appeared here. It's better to return the army to Huguan first and then make plans.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao ordered: "Send the order, the front team will become the back team, the back team will become the front team, and the whole army will return to Huguan."
"Yes." The generals agreed.
At the same time, Zhang Fei was still cursing in front of Cao's army. Because Zhang Fei lost face in front of Lu Bu, he was ashamed and anxious as he ran over to find Cao Cao's bad luck, and did not consider whether he could kill Cao Cao alone.
What made Zhang Fei quite depressed was that he had cursed in front of the Cao army for a while, but Cao army did not make any noise.
Just as Zhang Fei kept cursing, Cao Jun finally made some noise. However, he lit up his butt and left!
Zhang Fei immediately blew his beard and stared at him, and was very angry. However, Zhang Fei did not chase after him. Now, Zhang Fei, who had calmed down, would not foolishly hit the other 100,000 troops.
This time the incident was later spread, but it was very mysterious. People said, "Zhang Yide alone scared away the 100,000 Cao troops." Then, the rumors that "Zhang Yide took the general's head like a sack to take a piece of the bag" spread. These legends soon reached the ears of the person involved Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was surprised, but he was very proud and very proud. Lu Bu, who was not in love with Zhang Fei, was extremely dissatisfied. For this reason, he tried to create a more brilliant record than Zhang Fei many times, which made Chen Chu very angry for a period of time. The above are all later words, so I won't say much about it here.
Shortly after Cao's army left, Leyang and Xue Jian arrived separately.
After receiving Chen Chu's strict order, Zhang Fei did not dare to delay, so he had to feel disappointed...
Horse-drawn rotation.
At this moment, Cao's army had not gone too far. Cao's army, who was in charge of guard guards, suddenly saw the sparks in the distance, and was shocked. At the same time, they sincerely admired their lord's ability to do it!
