Chapter 182 Lu Bu: Xuzhou, here I come!

"What you said is true!"

Although Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor this time, he was still in a state of intoxication. He still wanted to annex the entire Han Dynasty in one fell swoop and become the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu.

Nowadays, there are many princes in the world, and Lu Bu is indeed a rare help to him.

What's more, right after he proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce, who was far away in Wu County, actually turned around and drew a clear line with him.

He even criticized him in letters.

This made Yuan Shu feel a little worse after he had just proclaimed himself emperor.

When Lu Bu came this time, Yuan Shu was naturally overjoyed for the first time.

Yuan Shu still vaguely remembers Lu Bu's bravery in front of Hulao Pass.

If Lu Bu can help him, he will be many times stronger than Sun Ce.

After all, is it just what Corporal Li Xian did?

Those wealthy families supported Yuan Shao, didn't they just think that the illegitimate son could do such a good job on the surface?

If Yuan Shao can do it, Yuan Shu can do it!

"Wonderful talent, tell the soldiers not to panic and to form their formations where they are!"

"Lu Bu?"

Now if they run away, the army will not be able to escape very far, and they will even be constantly consumed by the cavalry.

"Your Majesty, we found the Xuzhou army coming towards the border from the front!"

The tall crimson horse is wearing a flowered robe that is even brighter. The three-pronged purple gold crown on its head is fluttering in the wind.

Yuan Shu persuaded himself in his heart, then paused and looked up at the officials under his command before speaking.

Yuan Shu felt that as long as he could control Lu Bu's rear supplies, he would be like controlling Sun Jian.

When Xia Hou Dunzheng shouted to his soldiers to calm down, Xia Hou Yuan beside him couldn't help but lost his voice.

The Xuzhou garrison that had just come towards him did not have too strict rules during the march, and they looked a bit like a miscellaneous army.

On that day, at the time of Shen, the gates of Shouchun City were opened wide.

He was worried about having nothing to do in Xuzhou. The news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor gave him an excuse.

…

Um?

Send troops to attack Yuan Shu?

"What are you talking about, that guy Yuan Shu actually proclaimed himself emperor?"

This guy now completely regards himself as an emperor.

If he hadn't needed Yuan Shu's help this time, he would have exploded on the spot.

…

With just one glance, Xiahou Dun's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

He didn't surrender either.

Xia Houdun chuckled lightly, and Xia Houyuan's lips couldn't help but twitch when he heard this.

Among the soldiers he has summoned now, 6,000 are new soldiers, and these soldiers who have never been on the battlefield have no discipline at all.

The cavalry came in force from a distance, and these new soldiers were already heartbroken.

As a general, no one wants to be tasked with defending the city.

"Right now, you and I have nothing to do in Xuzhou. Now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, we just take this opportunity to send troops to attack Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu?

Why is this guy here now? Since Lu Bu is here, these cavalry in front of him are Xiliang cavalry!

Something's wrong!

He had just entered Xuzhou not long ago, and it was impossible for the Xuzhou defenders to discover him so quickly.

"Left and right, listen to my orders. When the army in front reaches a hundred feet, the army will charge with me!"

Xiahou Dun curled his lips, paused and continued.

Yuan Shu did not take Lu Bu's advice to heart.

He needs to cooperate with himself, and he also needs someone to help him take the initiative to conquer the world.

The wind driven by the iron cavalry was strong, and the sound of horse hooves was like a rushing river.

As soon as he came up, the news brought by Xia Houyuan made Xiahou Dun's pupils dilate involuntarily.

The only option now is to form an array to resist!

run!

Where to run?

Behind both Xiahoudun and Xiahou Dun are endless plains, and what appears not far in front of them is obviously the cavalry!

"ah!"

However, the previous several attacks on Xuzhou had yielded nothing.

Lu Bu has now arrived from Bingzhou, and his army has already exhausted all the food and grass by the time they arrive here.

The presence of soldiers and horses has proved that the entire Xuzhou border has been lost.

As for Ji Ling's choice to stop for a while after capturing the border town, Lu Bu didn't care at all.

He replied to Lu Bu, saying that Yuan Shu didn't even listen to his advice.

Tan Ma came to report, and Lu Bu was slightly surprised by the sudden news.

Lu Bu said bluntly, and Yuan Shu nodded subconsciously.

Yuan Shu issued an invitation. If Lu Bu could stay, it would be the best thing for him.

He could simply take advantage of this opportunity to train troops.

At this time, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan did not know that Lu Bu had already negotiated with Yuan Shu. With Yuan Shu's support, the other party was leading troops to the Xuzhou border with Ji Ling at the same time.

However, at this time, Lu Bu was not very polite to Yuan Shu.

Nodding towards Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan agreed with the former's statement.

It’s not a bad idea to learn from the likes of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and treat the virtuous corporal!

"Brother!"

Almost instantly, Xiahou Dun realized something was wrong.

Lu Bu had just seen the emperor's honor guard accompanying Yuan Shu from a distance.

He had already known in advance that Lu Bu would take a detour through his area and attack Xuzhou directly, and his words could be regarded as knowing it.

Just when he was distracted,

Suddenly, a hidden arrow in the distance flashed in front of his eyes.

Almost instinctively, Xiahou Dun raised his eyes and looked into the distance. In the distance of his vision, among the iron cavalry, there was a very conspicuous figure.

"Yuan Shu is a traitor. He is treasonous and unethical. He claims to be emperor. I want to raise an army to attack him..."

If the other party proclaims himself emperor, then he proclaims himself emperor. What does that have to do with him?

Both of them have their own ideas.

After ordering the Xiliang soldiers to ambush them on the spot, Lu Bu waited patiently for the Xuzhou defenders.

"Wen Hou, please come and be fine!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand and generously dispatched a month's supply of food and grass to Lu Bu for the 20,000 Xiliang army. He also sent his general Ji Ling to send troops to Xuzhou together with Lu Bu.

And Yuan Shu was able to claim the title of emperor this time because of the Yuan family's background. If it were anyone else, he probably wouldn't have much confidence.

When they woke up in the blink of an eye, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan were unable to react quickly.

Now they are marching to attack Yuan Shu, but there is no problem at all.

In a short while, when Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan arrived a hundred feet away from the Xiliang army, Lu Bu gave a killing cry, and the Xiliang cavalry in the entire mountain and forest responded with their ears pierced.

The Lu Bu in front of him was stronger than Sun Jian back then. Sun Jian had a cooperative relationship with him back then, but he later surrendered to him.

In fact, when Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou, he defeated several Yuan Shu attacks, so that in the entire Xuzhou for more than a year, Yuan Shu rarely moved!

Even if Yuan Shu mobilizes his army, it is just a show outside the Xuzhou border!

Because of this, Xiahou Dun didn't even send out many exploring horses.

Lu Bu was a little surprised, but in this situation, Lu Bu didn't panic at all.
