Lu Bu didn't show up, which surprised Liu Bei and others.

However, thinking about Lu Bu's side, there is a wise man like Chen Gong, and these people can feel relieved.

However, the only surprise was that Lu Bu could still listen to Chen Gong's words when he was furious.

Liu Bei was worried, so he sent a large number of spies to Xiapi City to inquire about Lu Bu's movements.

Unexpectedly, the secret work sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest wave, it was silent.

It can be seen that Lu Bu did not want Liu Bei to know about the situation in Xiapi City.

The merchants and common people who traveled between the two places had not received detailed training, so naturally they didn't know what tricks Lu Bu was up to.

The more he didn't know about Lu Bu's situation, the more worried Liu Bei was, and he always felt that Chen Gong had some tricks.

Unknowingly, five or six days passed, until an urgent letter arrived in Liu Bei's hands.

Lü Bu suddenly sent troops to Donghai County to attack Tan County, the governing place by surprise. With the cooperation of inside and outside, Tan County was defeated in one fell swoop.

This news surprised Liu Bei. He didn't expect that Lu Bu would not attack Pengcheng, but chose to attack Tan County.

Tan County was captured by Lu Bu, and Pengcheng might face a double attack. Therefore, Liu Bei had to send troops to take Tan County back.

After some discussion, Liu Bei took Guan Yu as his general and Lu Su as his military adviser, leading an army of [-] to retake Tan County.

Last time, Lu Su offered that strategy, which was greatly appreciated by Liu Bei, and his status was immediately promoted to the fourth counselor, only under Chen Gui, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

However, if Lu Bu did not send troops, Lu Su's strategy would be useless.

Liu Bei was very embarrassed because he believed that Lu Bu would inevitably raise troops to take revenge and attack Pengcheng.

Lu Su became a scapegoat and was alienated a lot by Liu Bei.

This time, when the troops left Tan County, Liu Bei took the opportunity to send Lu Su out, which was tantamount to giving him a chance to make contributions and eliminate Lu Su's scapegoat.

Lu Su also understood that he had no complaints about sending troops to Tan County with Guan Yu this time, and was full of confidence. He was determined to make great contributions in this battle and become famous.

At this time, Lu Su was not the governor of Soochow in history, and he was not well-known.

If Lu Su could assist Guan Yu and come up with one or two clever tricks to take Tan County with the least casualties, he would naturally become famous and Liu Bei would use him even more.

Lu Su's temper is different from Zhou Yu's. He is very kind, and it can be said to be all-round.

Ren Guanyu has an extremely arrogant personality, and his relationship with Lu Su is also very good, and he has a very good impression of Lu Su.

On the way, Lu Su gave Guan Yu an idea, which is to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Because Lu Bu didn't have many soldiers and horses, and now that he has divided his troops to attack Tan County, there will inevitably be fewer soldiers and horses left in Xiapi.

Moreover, Lu Bu never imagined that Guan Yu would abandon Tan County and attack Xiapi instead.

Therefore, as long as the army marches day and night and hides from Xiapi's scouts, it will definitely be able to take down Xiapi City in one fell swoop.

After all, Lu Bu didn't expect Guan Yu to make a sneak attack, so naturally he didn't send many scouts.

As long as Xiapi is taken by Guan Yu, even if Lu Bu occupies Donghai County, so what.

You must know that Donghai County is located in the hinterland of Xuzhou, so it is equivalent to being besieged by Liu Bei's forces, and in the end there is only defeat.

Guan Yu was familiar with "Spring and Autumn", and he agreed with Lu Su's strategy very much, so he immediately adopted it. The army turned south, marched day and night, and went straight to Xiapi City.

Three days later, the army came to the city of Xiapi.

On the top of the city, there was no flag of Lu Bu's army, it seemed like an empty city.

"How could this happen, Zijing?" Guan Yu was also stunned, not sure which play Lu Bu was playing.

There is a very high possibility that Lu Bu already knew his whereabouts, and deliberately set up this suspicious array, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

"Impossible." Lu Su frowned, fixed his eyes on Xiapi City, and shook his head slightly.

Although there was no flag of Lu Bu's army on the top of the city, the city gate was wide open, and people kept coming in and out.

What's more, there was not a single soldier guarding the gate of the city.

Lu Su turned around and told a soldier: "You, put on the clothes of ordinary people, go to the gate of the city and ask what's going on."

"If possible, go to the city to investigate, it is best to go to the top of the city."

"Here."

After a while, the soldiers finished their preparations, dressed up as ordinary people, and walked towards the gate of the city.

Sure enough, there was no guard at the gate of the city, only the people coming in and out.

The soldiers immediately stopped a commoner and asked, "My fellow, where are the guards at the city gate going?"

The commoner looked the soldier up and down: "Listen to your accent, aren't you a local?"

The soldier sighed slightly and said, "No, I came to visit relatives in Xiapi City. Jiangbei was beaten too hard, and all my family members died. I can only come to Xuzhou to visit relatives."

The commoner nodded without doubting him, and sighed: "Yes, the north is full of wars, so Xuzhou is a paradise."

"I didn't expect Liuzhou Mu and Lu Bu to fight now. I don't know how many people will die."

Suddenly, the commoner remembered that he hadn't answered the other party's question yet, so he said, "Brother, I don't know, Lu Bu's army has all been withdrawn, and there is not one left."

"Ah..." The soldier was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you know why Lu Bu withdrew and where he went?"

The commoner shook his head lightly: "I don't know about that."

The soldiers calmed down and asked again: "Do you know when they withdrew?"

"Oh, I know that, it was three days ago."

"Three days ago?" The guards faintly sensed that there must be a big conspiracy behind Lu Bu's sudden withdrawal of troops.

It's a pity that he is just a soldier, he has never read military books, and he can't even read a few big characters. Of course, it is impossible to guess the plot of Lu Bu's withdrawal from Xiapi.

The soldier thanked the commoner, ran into the city in a hurry, and climbed to the top of the city, but still not a single soldier of Lu Bu saw it.

Not daring to be negligent, after the personal soldiers got down from the top of the city, they ran back quickly to report to Lu Su.

Lu Su was also taken aback when he heard this, including Guan Yu.

How could this be?
Lu Bu left Xiapi without leaving a single soldier behind?
Why did Lu Bu do this?

Where did Lu Bu go with his army?

Of course, one thing that is certain is that it is impossible for Lu Bu to leave Xuzhou, nor did he go to Tan County.

Guan Yu frowned deeply for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Lu Su, "Zi Jing thinks, what exactly is Lu Bu's intention in doing this?"

At this time, Guan Yu's eldest son, Guan Ping, suddenly said, "Father, my son suspects that Lu Bu may be desperate."

Guan Yu frowned when he heard this, and was about to scold Guan Ping when Lu Su's eyes lit up and he yelled, "No, Pengcheng is in danger."
