The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

A man cannot stand without faith, and the same is true for a general.

Fang Tian's painted halberd was in Lu Bu's hands, as if he had been endowed with spirituality, so Xu Chu could only keep defending.

Chapter 162 Xu Chu Takes refuge

When fighting against the enemy on the battlefield, Lu Bu seldom uses his full strength, because there will be many emergencies on the battlefield, and it is correct to leave three parts of his strength to deal with it. Even if Lu Bu uses seven parts of martial arts on the battlefield, he is still an ordinary general The existence that can only look up to.

Now in the Xuzhou army, Lu Bu's every move contains [-]% of his strength.

When a powerful general fights against Lu Bu, he can feel the strength of Lu Bu's strength, and when a general with exquisite moves fights against Lu Bu, he will also be amazed by Lu Bu's moves.

In this way, what Xu Chu endured was not only Lu Bu's powerful strength, but also the subtlety of the changes in the painting of the halberd. If he was a little careless, he would be in danger of failure.

As the battle continued, the shock in Xu Chu's heart became more and more intense. He was sure that Lu Bu hadn't used his full strength during the past fights, and perhaps it was the same now.

This made Xu Chu a little depressed. He was a mighty general, but he didn't even have a specific understanding of the enemy's strength.

Martial arts have reached the level of Xu Chu, even in the face of powerful generals, he can deal with it with ease, but facing Lu Bu is like facing a mountain, which is unshakable.

At No. 30, the painting halberd swung the long knife away and stopped three inches from Xu Chu's chest. Xu Chu could even feel the sharpness of the painting halberd.

"I'm going to lose." Xu Chu let go of the long knife in his hand and lowered his proud head. Failure in the place where he was most proud was not a small blow to him.

Lu Bu put away his halberd and said, "Since you failed, you must fulfill your previous promise. For the time being, you will be General Cao Xing's second-in-command."

Xu Chu asked: "Isn't Marquis Wen afraid that Ben will pretend to join him and defect later?"

"Haha, since this Marquis dares to appoint you, he has enough confidence. In the current situation in Yanzhou, following Cao Cao's footsteps will not lead to good results, but this Marquis can give you a brighter future." Lu Bu laughed. road.

When Xu Chu asked these words, it showed that he had accepted such a result.

"The last general pays homage to Marquis Wen. I have offended you with words before. Please punish Marquis Wen." Xu Chu dismounted from his horse and saluted solemnly.

Lu Bu stepped forward to help Xu Chu up and said, "General Xu's martial arts skills are not weak. With General Xu's help, it will not be difficult to pacify Yanzhou."

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Xuzhou Army also showed joy. The addition of a strong general to the army not only weakened the enemy's strength, but also caused damage to the enemy.

Xu Chu said: "Marquis Wen, there will be a request at the end."

"But it doesn't matter." With Xu Chu's support, Lu Bu was in a good mood. It was easy to kill a fierce general, but it was difficult to cultivate a fierce general.

"Mr. Cao is kind to the general. When Marquis Wen is fighting Duke Cao, the general will not make a move. Please be considerate of Marquis Wen." Xu Chu said.

Lu Bu said: "General Xu's move is out of affection and righteousness. This Marquis agrees."

"Thank you Marquis Wen." Xu Chu clasped his fists.

Xu Chu took refuge in Cao Cao not long ago, and he was able to give Cao Cao a heavy responsibility, which is why Xu Chu worked hard for Cao Cao, and Xu Chu admired Lu Bu's martial arts, and he didn't want to die in the Xuzhou army like this. Now is the time to flex your muscles, and you have to face death, and you will not be reconciled to putting it on anyone.

"Congratulations, general, for winning this great general." The generals in the army came forward to congratulate one after another, and they also had a lot of praise for Xu Chu.

Being able to persist in Lu Bu's hands for [-] rounds before losing, Xu Chu's strength is absolutely top-notch in the Xuzhou army. A fierce general who can only be subdued by Lu Bu himself is worthy of their attention.

Lu Bu recommended the generals in the army to Xu Chu, and Xu Chu paid them all a salute, very thoughtful in terms of etiquette.

"The Marquis is very happy that Zhongkang has come to seek refuge with us. Today we have a banquet in the army to celebrate, but each person can only drink two bowls of wine." Lu Bu said.

Everyone claimed that Lu Bu was strict in governing the army. During marches and battles, soldiers in the army were not allowed to drink alcohol. The generals who followed Lu Bu at first had a deep understanding of this. If you violate the military order, Lu Bu will not tolerate you because of your status.

Being able to make an exception for Xu Chu's refuge is enough to show that Lu Bu attaches great importance to Xu Chu.

After Cao Xing stepped forward and explained in a low voice, Xu Chu's heart warmed up. Talented people are most afraid of not being reused. After all, he was a general under Cao Cao before. Contempt is also reasonable, and the same thing is also true among Cao Jun.

Lu Bu was able to make an exception for him, which made Xu Chu feel that Lu Bu valued him.

Going to Lu Bu under Cao Cao's command will be the most important choice in Xu Chu's life. When he meets Cao Jun generals in the future, Xu Chu will inevitably feel inferior, but it will not prevent Xu Chu from fighting for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is the most powerful general in the world, with a great reputation, and his performance is so bold, no general will reject him too much by taking refuge in such a powerful general.

Cao Xing, who had spoken coldly to Xu Chu before, was now very eager to introduce the situation of the generals in the army to Xu Chu.

Cao Xing was also very excited about Xu Chu being the deputy general. He knew Xu Chu's martial arts was strong, but as the general who followed Lu Bu at the beginning, Cao Xing naturally hoped that Lu Bu's strength could be even stronger.

As for the fact that Xu Chu's rise in the future will affect Cao Xing's position, it is not within the scope of Cao Xing's consideration for the time being.

"This is General Li Dian, who used to be a general under Cao Cao's command. After joining Marquis Wen, he made a lot of contributions. Now he is one of the top ten generals in the Xuzhou Army." Cao Xing introduced.

Xu Chu stepped forward to be courteous, perhaps because they were both generals under Cao Cao's tent in the past, there was no hatred between them, but a sense of kinship between them.

That night, except for the generals who were on alert, the rest of the Xuzhou army went to the Chinese army for a banquet.

Above the banquet, it was quite lively.

Lu Bu cast his eyes on Guo Jia and said, "It's due to filial piety that we can get such a strong general to help us this time."

Guo Jia said, "It's Marquis Wen's bravery that made General Xu Chu admire him."

"Haha, Feng Xiao doesn't need to be so modest and prudent in front of Ben Hou in the future. When Feng Xiao came to Jizhou, he was so bohemian." Lu Bu laughed.

Guo Jia's heart moved slightly. Lu Bu's words were not faked at all, he could feel it.

Under Lu Bu's command, Guo Jia received a lot of attention. From the fact that Lu Bu would often ask him for his opinions when he dispatched troops to Yanzhou this time, it can be seen that Lu Bu would listen to useful suggestions. difference.

In front of the enemy, Lu Bu is arrogant and ruthless, but when facing his own people, Lu Bu will show something different.

"Etiquette cannot be abandoned," Guo Jia said.

Chapter 163 Cao Cao's Messenger

Lu Bu waved his hands and said, "Whatever Feng Xiao likes, so be it."

The Xuzhou army was full of excitement, but the atmosphere among the Cao army was more dignified. In today's battle, the Cao army lost the fierce general Xu Chu. Although Cao Chun injured Wu Dun, it did not have a great impact on improving morale.

Wu Dun's reputation in the Xuzhou army is not obvious, while Xu Chu is a fierce general in the Cao army. He can fight against Lu Bu for dozens of rounds without losing. Such a strong general is very difficult to get.

Cao Cao sighed: "It's all my fault that Zhongkang fell into the hands of thieves."

"My lord, the general will inevitably die before the battle. My condolences." Cheng Yu persuaded.

"I wonder if Zhongde can redeem Zhongkang from the Xuzhou army?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu shook his head, "General Xu is highly skilled in martial arts, I am afraid that Lu Bu will not allow General Xu to return to the army."

"It's a pity for my fierce general." Cao Cao sighed.

"Zhou Mu, there seems to be a banquet in the Xuzhou army, and it seems quite lively." After Cheng Yu got the news from the soldiers, he hesitated to speak.

Cao Cao said, "Could it be that Lu Bu is celebrating today's victory?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, his complexion was not very good-looking.

"It's okay for Zhongde to say it," Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, there is news from Xizuo that Lu Bu hosted a banquet for the generals in the army to celebrate Xu Chu's defection."

"It's a bunch of nonsense, Zhongkang is loyal to this official, how could he commit a betrayal." Cao Cao protested.

Cheng Yu fell into silence. The current situation in Yanzhou is critical. When the Yanzhou army is fighting against the Xuzhou army, they fail one after another. It is inevitable that the generals in the army will have other ideas. It has only been a few months since Xu Chu took refuge in Cao Cao. Xu Chu, it is also possible for Xu Chu to seek refuge with Lu Bu at this time.

Who doesn't want to have a brighter future, and a change of camp, although unacceptable to the monarch, will still be staged.

After a long silence, Cao Cao stood up and said, "Zhongkang is a strong general, and after taking refuge in Lu Bu, maybe there will be a good result."

"There are rumors in the Xuzhou army that General Xu Chu is unwilling to be an enemy of the lord, and he will not fight against our army when the Xuzhou army fights." Cheng Yu said.

This sentence made Cao Cao feel a lot better. If Xu Chu, like Li Dian, took refuge in Lv Bu and then turned to fight for Lv Bu, it would be the most demoralizing.

"Don't spread this matter in the army." Cao Cao urged.

"The lowly position understands." Cheng Yu was also a little worried in his heart. Cao Jun has a meticulous operation in the Xuzhou Army, so how can the Xuzhou Army have no other means? Even if it is to control the news, it may spread secretly among the army. The strong generals in the Yanzhou army, even such strong generals choose to take refuge in Lu Bu, what kind of impact will it have on the soldiers in the army.

With the hope of surviving, how would ordinary soldiers choose? Currently following behind Cao Cao, it is difficult to see the dawn of victory.

For ten consecutive days, no fighting broke out between the Xuzhou Army and the Cao Army. In the face of the Xuzhou Army's fight, the Cao Army mainly defended the city and had no intention of going out of the city to confront the Xuzhou Army. spread.

After all, the generals of the Cao army did not see Xu Chu fighting for Lv Bu with their own eyes, so they were skeptical about such news.

At the same time, the battle for Dingtao has reached a fever pitch. Yuan Shu is determined to win Dingtao, and he has the stance of vowing not to give up until he breaks Dingtao. Ever since Yuan Shu led the army to arrive, the attack on Dingtao has never stopped. .

Originally there were tens of thousands of Cao troops in the field, but after successive battles, the number dropped to 6000, and Yuan Shu's army paid a price of more than [-] outside the city.

This also had a lot to do with the low morale of the soldiers in the city. Cao Cao had not been in charge of Yanzhou for a long time, and Liu Dai led the Yanzhou army to a great defeat. It was inevitable that there would be shortcomings in dealing with the imposing Yuan Shu army.

In times of difficulty, Fang showed his true colors as a general, and Cao Ren was ordered in the face of danger. When fighting against Yuan Shu's army, he showed good commanding skills, and he had the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu's army time and time again.

Unable to attack for a long time, more than [-] soldiers were lost, and Yuan Shu was anxious.

"What's the result of recruiting Cao Ren?" Yuan Shu turned his attention to Yang Hong.

Yang Hongdao: "My lord, Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother. He was loyal to Cao Cao. The officials he sent to recruit were beheaded for Cao Ren."

"Huh, little Cao Ren, An Gan is so rampant. After the attack on Dingtao, I will tear him into pieces." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said, if Cao Ren hadn't blocked Dingtao, Yuan Shu's army would have been able to drive straight to attack Yanzhou. Changyi, at that time the whole Yanzhou will fall under his control.

"My lord, the army in the city has dropped sharply. Our army will be able to defeat Dingtao within a month at most. At this time, Cao Cao led the army to hold Lv Bu in Gaoping, and he is unable to take care of the battle in Dingtao." Yang Hongdao.

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "This is an opportunity for our army to break through Dingtao, the officers and men in the army must not slack off."

"Here." The generals in the tent said in unison.

"Report, a lieutenant officer has captured a man, claiming to be an envoy sent by Cao Cao."

Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "Behead Cao Cao's envoy to show the public, dare to behead my envoy, how can I be lenient?"

Yang Hong persuaded: "My lord, the situation in Yanzhou is critical. Maybe Cao Cao sent people here to seek refuge with the lord. You might as well meet Cao Cao's envoy."

"Let this person come in." Yuan Shu thought for a moment and said.

Cao Cao and him can be regarded as old acquaintances. In a critical moment, it is still very possible for Cao Cao to rely on him. After all, Lu Bu's reputation is far from his.

A moment later, Yanzhou Biejia Wang Yu was brought to the Chinese army tent as a sergeant.

The generals in the tent looked at Wang Yu with hatred in their eyes. It was precisely because of the Yanzhou Army's resistance that the lieutenant soldiers suffered a lot.

The general's hatred did not affect Wang Yu in the slightest, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Don't drive Wang Yu in Yanzhou, I have seen General Yuan."

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "I don't think Cao Mengde sent Wang Biejia here, maybe it's because of Cao Mengde's refuge."

Wang Yu cupped his hands and said, "I'm coming here to eradicate traitors for the imperial court."

Yuan Shu showed curiosity, "Currently, Yanzhou is in critical condition, and Cao Mengde still has the heart to eradicate the rebels? Also, there are many yellow scarves raging in Yanzhou, and Cao Mengde is unable to deal with it. It is precisely for this reason that this Marquis led the troops here."

"The rebels I'm talking about are not the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans. Caozhou Mu has a great talent and general strategy. After controlling the Yanzhou army, he defeated the Yellow Turbans with weak troops. The Yellow Turbans are nothing but worth mentioning." Wang Yu said.

Yuan Shu asked suspiciously, "Who is the traitor Cao Mengde is referring to?"

Wang Yudao: "The traitor Zhou Mu said was Lu Bu who occupied Xuzhou. Lu Bu was originally a general of Ding Yuan, but he betrayed his master to seek glory. He killed Ding Yuan and joined Dong Zhuo as an old thief. If you want to stand on your own, this is the traitor of a great man, if General Yuan can send troops to eradicate the traitor, his reputation will be known to the world."

Chapter 164 Yuan Shu Action

Yang Hong shouted: "It's nonsense, how could the general attack the land of Xuzhou? If you want the general and the Xuzhou army to kill each other, this person should be killed."

The generals in the tent also looked at Wang Yu unkindly. Anyway, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are allies. When attacking Yanzhou, the Xuzhou army contained a lot of Cao Cao's troops. Once Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuzhou, wouldn't it be Cao Cao took advantage.

"This statement is wrong. Cao Zhoumu took control of Xuzhou when Yanzhou was in crisis. It was in accordance with public opinion. General Yuan sent a large army to attack the city of Yanzhou. If we attack Xuzhou, Cao Zhoumu will keep Lu Bu at bay." Wang Yu said, "Xuzhou is rich and rich, and after acquiring Xuzhou, General Yuan will not only improve his reputation, but also obtain a rich land."

"It is said that Xuzhou's money and food are enough for an army of [-] to fight for three years."

Seeing Yuan Shu's silence, Yang Hong hurriedly said: "My lord, this is Cao Cao's instigating dissension. Cao Cao has always supported Yuan Shao. Once he takes office in Yanzhou, he will become a disaster. Our army has attacked Dingtao for nearly a month. The army has paid the price of tens of thousands of people, if Dingtao cannot be breached, the soldiers in the army will definitely complain."

Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "Put this person down so that he can be taken care of."

"Here." Upon hearing this, the two soldiers immediately took Wang Yu away.

Wang Yu didn't struggle at all. He believed that the words just now had an effect on Yuan Shu's heart. Yuan Shu was an ambitious person and would not let Lv Bu sit in Xuzhou.

A breakthrough by either side will bring about the fall of Yanzhou. Who can occupy more cities at that time will depend on their respective abilities.

What Yuan Shu had to admit was the elite of the Xuzhou Army, Cao Jun fought with them, and they were constantly losing money. Once such characters grew up, would they be willing to obey his orders?

Seeing Yuan Shu's attitude, Yang Hong knew that he had thought about Wang Yu's words.
