Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chen Deng was not surprised that Lu Bu accurately understood Liu Yu's intention.

From his interactions with Lu Bu during this period, Chen Deng knew that Lu Bu attached great importance to his own gains and losses. Once interests were involved, he became sensitive and cautious.

"Marquis Wen, obeying the orders of the Han Dynasty is a righteous cause. There is no doubt about this. Marquis Wen is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Over the years, he has been trying to support the Han Dynasty and make great achievements."

Chen Deng saw this point very accurately. No matter how treacherous Lu Bu was and how he was despised by the world, he never thought of usurping the throne and establishing his own country one day.

Some people are born in Rome, and some are born as cattle and horses. Those who are born in Rome want to reach the top of the times, while those who are born as cattle and horses can only think of reaching Rome.

Although this metaphor is inappropriate, it truly expresses Lu Bu's situation.

Due to his poor background, Lu Bu had no courage to dream of the throne.

"From this perspective, you and Uncle Liu are very similar. In this case, it is only natural for Marquis Wen to obey the orders of the Han Dynasty."

Chen Deng's words were like a spring breeze, blowing through Lu Bu's heart.

Chen Deng’s words made sense. Lu Bu was silent for a while, but at this time he did not want to cooperate with Liu Huangshu.

He did not think that Liu Yu, who was weak and powerless, could conquer the world and accomplish the mission of reviving the Han Dynasty in an era when many princes emerged.

If he were to ask who among the princes today could take on this mission, in his heart, there is only one person, and that is himself.

To quell troubled times, force is the first priority. In today's world, who can surpass him in martial arts?

"What Yuanlong said makes some sense, but this matter is too big, I still need to think about it for a while."

For the next period of time, Lu Bu kept thinking about where Xuzhou would go.

After thinking for a few days, he finally made up his mind and began to write a letter to Yuan Shu.

He wanted to explain clearly why the messenger was killed.

Only by clearing up the misunderstanding with Yuan Shu could he have greater bargaining chips in his game with Liu Yu.

The letter had just been written and Lu Bu was about to send someone to deliver it to Yuan Shu when Zhang Liao came hurriedly over.

"Marquis Wen, something terrible has happened. Yuan Shu is personally leading an army of 70,000 to attack Xuzhou."

"When did it happen?" Lü Bu, who was still fantasizing about repairing his relationship with Yuan Shu, was a little surprised. "The enemy Yuan Shu had to defend at this time shouldn't be Yuzhou, or Uncle Liu? Why would he suddenly lead his troops to attack Xuzhou?"

This incident made Lu Bu very crazy. As the wind blew, the thin paper fluttered slowly, and the ink words that had not yet dried on the paper looked like living eyes, full of mockery.

The slight sense of pride that Lu Bu had just felt disappeared in an instant.

"I also find this matter somewhat strange, but Yuan Shu's army has begun to attack Xuzhou and has already captured two cities in a row. If he leads his army south, I'm afraid Xia Pi City will be difficult to defend."

"Pass on my order, organize the army immediately, and march south to resist Yuan Shu." The situation at the moment did not allow Lu Bu to make too many considerations. If he could not organize the army as soon as possible, it would not be long before the entire Xuzhou would belong to Yuan Shu.

"Marquis Wen, before you come, we have organized all three thousand men, and we are only waiting for your order to go out."

"Three thousand men?" Lu Bu was a little surprised. "So few people?"

Zhang Liao remained silent. When Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, his army was less than 10,000. After a period of recruiting soldiers in Xuzhou, his number did not exceed 20,000. At that time, Cao Cao in the north was attacking Xuzhou urgently, and more than 10,000 people were transferred to the north to resist Cao Cao together with Zang Ba.

There are only a few thousand people left in Xia Pi City.

The numerical disadvantage gave Lu Bu a headache. Although he was the bravest general, he was not completely stupid. He had experienced many wars and knew what a real battlefield looked like.

"Marquis Wen, although our army is small in number, they are all veterans who have followed us through many battles. Among them are 400 cavalrymen." Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu's hesitation and tried to persuade him.

Hearing about the four hundred cavalrymen, Lu Bu felt a little more at ease.

The mobility of cavalry can determine the outcome of a battle. Once cavalry charges into the infantry formation, it is possible to defeat the army.

But Lu Bu was still a little worried. Once he encountered an army with strict military discipline, the impact of the cavalry would be greatly weakened.

"Let Chen Yuanlong come to see me quickly." After thinking for a moment, Lu Bu still felt that it was a bit risky. He was not afraid of taking risks, but he was worried that the brothers following behind him would die inexplicably.

"Marquis Wen, I wonder why you called me here?" Not long after, Chen Deng hurried to Lu Bu.

After Lu Bu briefly told him the news that Yuan Shu had sent troops to attack Xuzhou, he sighed and asked, "There are not many soldiers in Xia Pi City now. Does Yuan Long have any plan to defeat the enemy?"

Chen Deng seemed to be thinking, but his heart was filled with joy. The situation in Xuzhou was just as Liu Bei had expected. Yuan Shu really sent troops to Xuzhou.

This node happened a bit earlier than originally expected. From this point, it is not difficult to see how determined Yuan Shu was to capture Xuzhou.

When he was in Yuzhou, Liu Yu had told him what he should do if Yuan Shu sent out his troops.

Chen Deng was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Although Yuan Shu has a large number of troops, his military discipline is lax and his fighting power is not strong. Marquis Wen just needs to lead his troops to stop him.

Liu Huangshu has been preparing his troops in Yuzhou, eyeing Jiujiang with a fierce eye. How can he just sit there and watch Yuan Shu raise his army without doing anything? If my prediction is true, Liu Huangshu will lead his army to attack Yuan Shu from the rear. At that time, Yuan Shu will surely be defeated by the two sides attacking him. "

After hearing Chen Deng's analysis, Lu Bu finally showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Yuanlong, this matter is of great importance. You should go to Yuzhou immediately and ask Uncle Liu to send troops."

"Don't worry, Lord Wen. I will not fail in my mission."

Chen Deng, who left Lu Bu's mansion, could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

At this time, Yuan Shu stationed his troops in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu had no choice at all. The only thing he could do was to join forces with Liu Yu to resist Yuan Shu's attack.

Uncle Liu is truly a god. Everything in Xuzhou City is part of his plan.

After Chen Deng left, Lu Bu made some simple preparations and began to lead his soldiers to advance southward to fight against Yuan Shu.

Before Chen Deng arrived in Yuzhou, he had to lead his soldiers to resist Yuan Shu's offensive.

If he could not resist Yuan Shu's advance and could not wait for Uncle Liu to get involved, he might be driven out of Xuzhou by Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu was dressed in armor, which was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. Riding on the Red Hare, Lu Bu was full of energy, and the feeling of invincibility once again surged in his heart.

Behind him, the soldiers did not make any noise or noise. They were quiet and silent, following Lu Bu and advancing quickly.

Isn't it just 70,000 troops? What's so scary about that? I have been fighting with Wen Hou in many battles over the years. How many times have I won with fewer troops?
