Chapter 158 Lu Bu's Choice

Since escaping from Xudu, the emperor Liu Xie and his party have been eating and sleeping in the open.

Leaving aside the matter of chasing soldiers and not chasing soldiers, I didn't even have a bite of hot food for three days in a row.

"Your Majesty, this old slave still has some dried meat." Wei Zhongxian took out a piece of dried meat wrapped in oiled paper from his bosom.

Seeing this, Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he gnawed unceremoniously.

Wei Zhongxian on the side swallowed, then picked up the dry food in his hand and took a bite.

Because the dry food was too hard, Wei Zhongxian couldn't swallow it after chewing for a long time.

"Water!" Wang Yue handed over a water bag.

After these few days of observation, Wang Yue has taken a different view of Wei Zhongxian, especially in the aspect of serving the emperor Liu Xie, absolutely no one can compare.

"Is there any news from the Marquis of Linjing?" Wei Zhongxian asked after finally swallowing the dry food in his mouth.

"The people who don't accept them at night have already set off. According to the agreement, Marquis Linjing should have captured Hulao Pass at this moment." Wang Yue muttered.

After finishing their meals in a hurry, everyone started to hurry again. Due to the rugged mountain road and Liu Xie's frailty, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Yue basically took turns to carry them along the way.

"Your Majesty will be patient for a few more days. After passing this set of mountains, the army of Marquis Linjing will be there to meet you."

Although Wei Zhongxian was a little out of breath, he still comforted Liu Xie.After all, fleeing is not as simple as talking about it.

Inside Hulao Pass, Meng Chen and Li Cunxiao stood in front of a huge map, holding the information delivered by Yebu in their hands, discussing something non-stop.

"My lord, Lu Bu let Zhang Liao go first, it seems that he has almost prepared for the worst."

"It is said that Lu Bu is brave but not resourceful, but this division of troops is impressive."

After a pause, Mengchen said: "However, Guo Jia will definitely not let Lu Bu go, and Zhang Liao will definitely return to the rescue."

"My lord, then we..." Li Cunxiao didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

Hearing the words, Meng Chen's eyes flickered, but he didn't make a sound for a long time, obviously struggling in his heart.

Although he had made up his mind a long time ago, at this moment, Meng Chen hesitated!
After a long time, Meng Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Lu Bu can die, but Zhang Liao cannot die."

After hearing these words, a smile appeared on Li Cunxiao's face.

Meng Chen's biggest shortcoming is that he is not cruel enough, but after this incident, his master will definitely change fundamentally.

As soon as the order was issued, the whole Hulao Pass suddenly became lively.

Tens of thousands of troops slowly exited the customs and marched towards the predetermined target.

After the Hulao was closed, Shuai Meng Chen led five thousand black-armored cavalry to come out slowly.

"Brother Cunxiao, no matter what, we must bring Zhang Liao back alive."

"The last general takes orders!"

After speaking, Li Cunxiao rode away with Ma Chao and Ma Dai.Such division of troops was also discussed before.

Turning the horse's head, Meng Chen said to Zhao Yun behind him: "Zilong, it is a great achievement to guard the Hulao pass."

"The cloud is here, and the Hulao Gate is here!" Zhao Yun answered loudly, making Meng Chen nod in satisfaction.

"Soldiers, the Son of Heaven has escaped from Xudu, and I will go to meet him personally with the Marquis."

"Welcome to the Son of Heaven! Welcome to the Son of Heaven!" The shouts of the five thousand black-armored cavalry resounded through the sky, causing the surrounding birds to soar into the air.

"The military spirit is available!" Meng Chen muttered, and then rode away with Zhang Xiu, Chen Yaojin, Meng Shan and others.

For this day, Meng Chen has been planning for nearly three months, and now the arrow has left the string, and it is just short of hitting the target.

After the division of troops, Lu Bu deliberately slowed down his marching speed. From the moment the surprise attack on Xu Du failed, Lu Bu became sober in his mind.

It is not for nothing that Yuan Shao made an alliance with him and made a promise.

It would be great for Yuan Shao if Lu Bu was able to sneak attack successfully. Cao Cao was already at a disadvantage and was attacked from the rear. The result can be imagined.

If the sneak attack is unsuccessful, Yuan Shao will definitely take advantage of Bingzhou's empty forces to seize Bingzhou, thereby further increasing the strength of Cao Cao.

Lu Bu doesn't regret it at the moment, why not fight for it when risks and opportunities coexist?
How easy is it to develop and grow just by relying on the land of Bingzhou?

The main purpose of deciding to let Zhang Liao divide his troops first is to leave seeds for the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

Since Cao Cao had left an ambush in Xudu, he naturally had other backups.

The first thing Lu Bu thought of was Hulao Pass!

"Report, my lord, General Zhang sent a message that the valley ahead is steep and there may be an ambush."

A scout hurriedly appeared in front of Lu Bu, but Lu Bu made a face and did not make a sound immediately.

After a long time, Lu Brown said: "Tell Zhang Liao, pass at full speed and don't look back!"

The scout was taken aback for a moment, then rode away.

After a pause, Lu Buyou said: "Send the order, the whole army will rest in place and set off in half an hour."

The reason why Lu Bu issued such an order was because his intuition told him that the danger had come.

And this kind of intuition is not only unique to Lu Bu. When generals fight on the battlefield, their intuition often saves their lives.

Zhang Liao, who had received the general order, showed pain on his face, but Zhang Liao would never disobey Lu Bu's general order.

Although Lu Bu has a bad reputation, he has never been harsh on his soldiers.

Especially Zhang Liao, if Lu Bu hadn't saved his life, he would have died tragically by the Huns long ago.

"The whole army obeys the order and rushes across the valley at full speed!"

When the general order was issued, the soldiers did not know why, but the military order was like a mountain!
Zhang Liao rode out first, followed by more than a thousand cavalry.

In the dense forest of the valley, Guo Jia could clearly see all the actions of the Bingzhou Wolf Rider.

"Guo Jijiu, let's do it!" Xiahou Dun said impatiently.

"No, our target is Lu Bu." Guo Jia said intently.

In Guo Jia's eyes, the passing cavalry was just a decoy.

However, Guo Jia was about to miscalculate this time. Lu Bu was not thinking about bait, but about leaving seeds for the Bingzhou Wolf Rider.

In other words, Lu Bu was betting that Cao Jun's target was him and not others.

Bingzhou Wolf Rider followed him, Lu Bu, through life and death for many years, and it was impossible to have no feelings.

As long as Zhang Liao lives and leads a thousand cavalry back, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry will not perish.

But Lu Bu overlooked one point, without him as a wolf, the fighting power of Bingzhou wolf cavalry would be greatly reduced.

Seeing more than a thousand cavalry rushing past, Xiahou Dun looked a little disappointed, and thought to himself: "What a horse, tsk tsk."

For Xiahou Dun, cavalry is a distant dream.

Even if Cao Cao lived frugally, he only supported three thousand cavalry.

Xiahou Dun was naturally disappointed when he watched the thousand horses leave like this.

The waiting time was long, half an hour later another thousand wolf riders rushed into the valley roaring.

The leader was not Lu Bu, which made Guo Jia frowned, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

"Guo Jijiu, Lu Bu found out that our ambush is here?"
