Chapter 174 Xiahou Dun: Maybe some people are afraid of Lu Bu?

August 24th is the end of the summer heat and the weather is getting cooler.

At that time, the golden rice in various places in Xuchang was already approaching maturity. In about ten days, it would be the autumn harvest season.

At this time, there are only a few days left before the start of school in Xuchang.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Xi Yu has almost prepared the textbooks needed for teaching.

Now, he has some free time and is waiting for the school to start recruiting scholars in early September.

In the recent period, there has been no news about Yuan Shu's direction in Shouchun.

However, the news of Lu Bu's evacuation from Bingzhou soon spread to Xuchang.

As a result, Lu Bu actually gave up Bingzhou and transferred to Hanoi, leading his army southward.

At this moment, Cao Cao immediately summoned his subordinates and even specifically notified Xi Yu.

When Xi Yu, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun arrived at the main hall of the Xuchang Yamen Office, Cao Cao was discussing with Xun You and others whether to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Lu Bu!

At this moment, when he saw Xi Yu leading Zhao Yun and others, Cao Cao greeted him with a smile.

Xi Yu nodded, then silently sat down on the seat next to him.

"Sikong, this time Lu Bu goes south, it is the time for us to send out troops. One can take advantage of the trend to advance westward, and the other two can stop Lu Bu!"

Someone advised him, and Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

Lu Bu's existence is not like Zhang Xiu's, and Cao Cao still admires his martial arts after all.

This is a tiger whose bravery is known all over the world. If it is left alone, it will eventually be a disaster.

"Sikong, Lu Bu is going south this time with the intention of surrendering to Yuan Shu. If we don't attack him this time, it will be a disaster!"

At this time, Xun You beside him also nodded.

"Bu is brave and relies on Yuan Shu. If he crosses the Huaihe River and is in the middle of nowhere, heroes will surely respond."

Everyone spoke.

Xiyu didn't say much.

Xun You and others are right. Sniping at Lu Bu at this time is indeed a good choice.

It's just that this matter is not that simple.

Most of Lu Bu's men are Xiliang cavalry, and the opponent's purpose this time is not to capture the city.

It is extremely difficult for Cao Cao to lead tens of thousands of infantry to attack Lu Bu.

On the one hand, the speed of the two is not the same concept. On the other hand, what Lu Bu passed was not Cao Cao's territory.

There is not only one road from Hanoi to Shouchun.

Lu Bu was already on his way this time, so Cao Cao only summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter at this time. In fact, it was already too late.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were similar to his own, Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu.

The other party has never spoken since he came here. Although the two have equal status now, he and Xi Yu still get along with each other as usual.

"Fengyi, what's your explanation?"

I heard Cao Cao suddenly ask him a question.

Xi Yu didn't even hesitate, he paused and then laughed.

"I think my brother's decision is unnecessary. For one thing, Lu Bu has already left Bingzhou with his army, and his whereabouts have not yet been determined. It will take some time for our army to determine the other party's whereabouts."

"Secondly, Lu Bu's purpose this time is not to capture the city, but to march in a hurry. Most of his men are Xiliang cavalry, so he has a natural advantage in speed!"

"If Sikong really wants to march, I think it would be better to attack Yuan Shu directly after the autumn harvest!"

Xi Yu opened his mouth and directly stated his attitude.

Nowadays, there is not much need to snipe Lu Bu, and it is likely that the effort will be wasted in the end.

It would be better to prepare honestly, wait until after the autumn harvest, and directly lead the army to attack Yuan Shu.

After hearing these words, Cao Cao did not speak for the first time.

Just as Xi Yu said, Lu Bu has Xiliang cavalry under his command, and the opponent even gave up on Bingzhou. It is not yet known whether this sniper attack will be effective.

Once the army is sent out, the financial, material and military supplies consumed will be somewhat costly.

If there is no success in targeting Lu Bu, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Cao Cao was thinking, who would have thought that someone under his command could no longer bear it.

At this time, Xiahou Dun sneered.

"I once heard that the Taiwei had defeated Lu Bu on the official road to Xuzhou when he led the baggage battalion to escort grain and grass!"

"I don't know if this is true!"

Without any warning, Xiahou Dun suddenly said such words, which made everyone present somewhat surprised.

Xi Yu glanced at Xiahou Dun subconsciously, and now both of his eyes were intact.

It looked a little strange to Xiyu.

Perhaps, in his mind, Xiahou Dun had already been labeled as one-eyed.

And what does Xiahou Dun mean now?

Obviously, the other party is questioning him!

In the end, no one knew about his defeat of Lu Bu except the supply camp and Lu Bu's men.

Zhang Liao, who was under Lu Bu's command at this time, was also sitting in the hall.

But because what we just discussed was about sniping Lu Bu, Zhang Liao felt somewhat heavy at the moment.

After all, Lu Bu was just his previous master, even though he surrendered to Cao Cao.

But emotionally, he was unwilling to face Lu Bu.

Among those who were captured with him at the beginning, he is the only one who has openly surrendered to Cao Cao at this stage.

Chen Gong is now closer to Xi Yu's side, and some people immediately follow Chen Gong.

Gao Shun, because of his unwillingness to surrender, Cao Cao did not pay attention to him. At present, Gao Shun's treatment in Xuchang is similar to that of Liu Bei.

They are all idlers.

As for Xiahou Dun suddenly questioning Xi Yu at this time, Zhang Liao could understand something.

It seems that since Xi Yu was promoted to imperial censor, the people under Cao Cao have begun to have prejudices against Xi Yu.

But now, after the other party has been promoted to Taiwei, this opinion is even stronger among the people under Cao Cao.

Among them, the Xiahou brothers are the most obvious, followed by Cao Hong and Cao Chun.

Although Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao, his feelings towards Xi Yu were still somewhat complicated.

The other party must have defeated Lu Bu in the first place, otherwise, why would Junhou go to Bingzhou?

He still knew something about Lu Bu.

However, after all, Zhang Liao had never seen it with his own eyes, and at this moment, he had no intention of speaking.

"Yes, it is said that Lu Bu was defeated, but who has seen it before?"

Just as Xiahou Dun finished speaking, Xia Houyuan suddenly laughed from the side.

The meaning of this statement is even more obvious.

The corners of Xi Yu's eyebrows drooped slightly. Although he didn't speak, Dian Wei beside him could no longer sit still.

"Shit!"

"What do you two mean? My husband took me and personally defeated Lu Bu and fled. My old pian was at the scene. How come you still don't believe it?"

Dian Wei cursed.

At this time, Xiahou Dun sneered: "Who knows!"

"If they are really defeated, why don't you see Lu Bu's head hanging on the tip of the spear?"

Xia Houyuan sang along and harmonized.

"Yeah, why not fight Yuan Shu after the autumn harvest!"

"I think some people are afraid of Lu Bu, because they are afraid that their previous reputation will be exposed!"

These words seemed even more harsh.

Even Xun Yu and others frowned in unison.

At this time, the corner of Cao Hong's mouth twitched. It was probably true whether Xi Yu had defeated Lu Bu.

After all, he was defeated in the blink of an eye in front of Xi Yu.

If Lu Bu can't be defeated by such drama, then how strong is the rumored Lu Bu!
