Seeing that Chen Gong had refuted his words, Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, what you said is wrong. When he was stationed outside Shangyong City, General Lu once said that he withdrew his troops because Wang Can was timid.
As for why Wang Can led the people to retreat, I think Wang Can wanted to use the people as a shield wall to block our progress. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
When Chen Gong heard this, he suddenly became speechless.
Lu Bu snorted and said: "Gongtai, since you are afraid, just stay in the city. I will lead my soldiers to chase Wang Can without you having to worry about it." After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Yuan Shu and said: "Wang
Can withdraw his troops. This is a good opportunity given to us by God. Whether we can defeat Wang Can in one fell swoop depends on today. Is General Yuan willing to send troops together?"
Yuan Shu said proudly: "General Lu is going to hunt down Wang Can, how can we do without Yuan?"
Zhang Liao frowned slightly and said with some worry: "My lord, Wang Can suddenly led his army to withdraw from Shangyong City, and the general felt something strange."
Lu Bu's face turned cold and he shouted: "Wen Yuan, if you don't have the guts to lead the troops to chase Wang Can, just stay in the city with Gongtai. If I lead the troops alone, I can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."
Zhang Liao remained silent and stopped talking. He could only follow Lu Bu to hunt down Wang Can.
Yuan Shu and Lu Bu discussed it for a while, then left the county hall together and summoned soldiers to hunt down Wang Can.
Among the armies of Yuan and Lu, only Chen Gong and some soldiers stayed behind.
After Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Yuan Shu led their troops and left, Chen Gong was still a little uneasy. Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, he intuitively felt that this was Wang Can's trick to lure the enemy, but he couldn't explain it.
Therefore, no evidence can be given, because the signs of Wang Can's withdrawal indicate that Wang Can retreated. After all, the people's belongings were all emptied.
Worried in his heart, he asked the soldiers to leave Shangyong City and station outside the city.
…
Lu Bu and Yuan Shu sent out troops together and sent countless scouts to find out the news.
Yuan Shu was high-spirited and high-spirited, riding on his horse and looking forward to defeating Wang Can.
He said in a deep voice: "General Lu, although Chen Gong told us that we cannot divide the interests of Yizhou after defeating Wang Can, we are so far away from Yizhou, but Cao Cao is the closest to Yizhou, so I think we should go to Yizhou
After one trip, grab the food, people, and money and leave directly. In this way, there will be no need to divide the interests with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao."
Lu Bu looked at Yuan Shu and said, "General Yuan, you have been planning this for a day or two, haven't you?"
Yuan Shu chuckled and said: "Chen Gong's words are indeed reasonable, because the four princes of us attacked Wang Can together, and the benefits must be divided according to our achievements and our own strength, but the two of us are weak, so we still
What do you think about leaving as early as possible, taking the people, money, and food with them?"
Lu Bu nodded and said: "General Yuan's words are reasonable. The people of Yizhou are well off, have countless grains and grass, and have a large population. They are the targets of our plunder. After we defeated Wang Can, we directly invaded Chengdu and plundered a large number of people."
Fan, and then retreat from Yizhou and return to their respective jurisdictions. At that time, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have complaints in their hearts, we will not be afraid of them."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a cavalryman ran over quickly from the front of the army. The cavalryman roared loudly, with a look of joy on his face. He ran to Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, got off his horse, knelt down and reported: "Report, the king has been spotted ten miles ahead.
Great army!"
Yuan Shu immediately asked: "Have you ever found out how many people there are?"
The soldier reported back: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers protecting the people as they advance!"
"Hahaha……"
After Yuan Shu heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "People say that Wang Can is a great fighter, but I think Wang Can is just like this, and he actually protects the people from advancing. Hey, I thought Wang Can would use the people as a human wall to block our progress, but now Wang Can
But he let the soldiers protect the people. He put the army in danger for the sake of the false name of kindness. Silly, so stupid, but I like it!"
Lu Bu looked at Yuan Shu and said, "General Yuan, speed up and advance!"
Yuan Shu nodded and moved forward quickly with Lu Bu.
…
Wang Can led the troops and went on the road together with the people. The soldiers stayed behind and the people went in front.
The common people all knew that the enemy troops would definitely be chasing them, so they hurried on with greater effort. Young people supported the elderly, middle-aged people held their children, and women and children also carried their skirts and hurried on.
Even so, the speed of the journey was still not very fast.
In the rear, Wang Can led Dian Wei, Xu Shu, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai to the rear, while Fazheng, Lu Meng, Chen Dao, and Zhang Ren led soldiers in the front to protect the people. On this journey, the army's baggage, silk cloth,
Money and food are behind. These are the most critical things, very important.
Wang Can rode a black horse and advanced slowly.
Xu Shu followed Wang Can and asked: "My lord, our army has traveled such a long way. Yuan Shu and Lu Bu must have discovered that Shangyong has become an empty city. Will the army stop temporarily and prepare a strategy to deal with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's army?"
."
In fact, Xu Shu has achieved his goal.
Lu Bu and Yuan Shu stormed Shangyong City, but they failed to capture Shangyong City and instead lost their troops, so they hid in the camp. Now according to Xu Shu's plan, after the people evacuate Shangyong, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will definitely pursue them.
"Da da!……"
Behind the army, a scout quickly ran to the front of Wang Can on horseback, dismounted, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Report, more than a hundred cavalry were spotted eight miles behind, charging towards us!"
Wang Can looked at Xu Shu, with a slight smile on his lips, knowing that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were coming.
After the scouts retreated, less than a quarter of an hour later, another soldier came to report: "Report! More than 500 cavalry were found five miles behind and are chasing after them quickly!"
Immediately afterwards, another scout ran back and reported: "Report, countless infantry were found five miles behind, and they are chasing after them quickly."
With such frequent news coming back, Zhou Tai and others also knew that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were coming.
Gan Ning clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the enemy troops are coming, how can we attack them?"
Xu Shu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the official road is surrounded by either hillsides or woods. It is just right for the army to ambush on both sides. When Yuan Shu and Lu Bu catch up, we will immediately attack and defeat them in one fell swoop."
Yuan Shu and Lu Bu led their troops to attack, and it was time to fight.
Dian Wei looked excited, with a look of joy on his face.
After he fought with Lu Bu, he had already wanted to fight with Lu Bu. Now Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were chasing him, giving him a chance to kill Lu Bu. Dian Wei saw Wang Can silently, looking a little anxious, and said: "My Lord, hurry up
Give the order, otherwise we won't be able to set up an ambush when they catch up."
Zhou Tai said: "With so many of us, we can definitely kill Lu Bu in one fell swoop!"
Wang Can did not speak, but got off his horse, walked towards the baggage, money, silk cloth and other items held by the army, and said: "We are going to set up an ambush, but we must also set up the trap. Give the order to scatter all the baggage."
on the ground, and scattered all the money along the official road."
An order made the generals' expressions change greatly.
