Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 59
Xu Bang looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes, and suddenly made a deep bow, "Marquis Wen is kind and generous, I admire you!"

He has read poetry and books, so he naturally knows the importance of Tian Fu.

Throughout history, the people who can reduce the land tax are all people with holy names, or holy kings!

Is it?

Lu Bu didn't think so much, he just thought, in this way, there will be no need to send money in the future, and the land tax will be directly reduced or exempted. It is just a matter of one sentence, and the same effect can be achieved, so why not do it!

Xu Si tentatively asked, "Marquis Wen, how much should the land tax be reduced?"

Without even thinking about it, Lu Bu waved his hand, "Dexian, as for how much reduction is appropriate, you can think about it again and report it to me later."

Although it was just a simple sentence, it made Xu Si even more excited, and even the hands hidden in the sleeves of his robe trembled slightly.

"Thank you Marquis Wen for your trust. I'll consider it next time and report it later."

After saying this, Xu Si left in a hurry with excitement.

I can't live up to Wen Hou's trust, and I have to work overtime tonight to get out!
Lu Bu looked at Xu Si's back and felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

At least piles of copper coins do not need to be sent out, how much money can be saved!

……

blah blah blah!
On the official road, there was a sound of hurried hooves, and a group of cavalry came rushing from a distance.

"General Xiahou, let's take a rest, Mr. Cheng can't hold on anymore."

The person who spoke was Xue Ti, who was looking at Cheng Yu with concern at the moment.

Xiahou Dun, who was running ahead, hurriedly turned his head to look, and when he saw Cheng Yu's appearance clearly, he was startled and yelled hastily.

"Mr. Cheng, how are you doing?"

Cheng Yu's arm was shot by a crossbow, and now only half of it was left. Although it had been bandaged, the wound was torn after galloping for so long, which already caused him great pain.

It was only a thought of escape that supported him, and he barely persisted for so long.

"This place is far away from Fan County, so it's good to take a rest."

The group found a forest and hid in it to rest.

The soldiers went to watch around, looking for some water to drink by the way.

Xiahou Dun came to Cheng Yu's side, checked the injury on his arm, bandaged it again, and then sat down to rest.

Xue Ti looked at Cheng Yu's injured arm, and suddenly punched the tree, growling in a low voice.

"Little Lu Bu, if someone catches you, I will crush you to ashes to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Xiahoudun sighed, "Unexpectedly, we dug two trenches, but we still can't stop them.

Now that Fan County has been lost, I am afraid that Juan City will not be protected either! "

Cheng Yu struggled to sit up straight, and was about to speak, when suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from the official road again.

The three of them were taken aback, hurriedly silenced, hid behind the big tree, and looked out carefully.

Soon, two war horses appeared on the official road. As the two sides got closer, Xue Ti suddenly exclaimed, "Look, aren't those Magistrate Jin and Captain Wang?"

Xiahou Dun nodded and waved to the soldiers beside him, "Go and stop them."

The soldier ran out of the woods in a hurry, fought back repeatedly at the two people on the official road, and shouted loudly again.

When Jin Yun heard the greeting from the woods, he was startled at first, but when he heard it clearly, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly reined in his horse and came to the woods.

"General Xiahou, so you are here?"

Xiahou Dun waved his hand, "Magistrate Jin, how is Fan County?"

The smile on Jin Yun's face froze, not daring to say that he had escaped first, and hurriedly said, "When I came out, the city gate had already been broken by them, and I'm afraid they have already occupied Fan County."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu suddenly said urgently, "Since Fan County has been lost, I'm afraid Lu Bu will send people to chase us, so we'd better leave as soon as possible."

Everyone was startled and turned to look at Xiahou Dun.

Looking at the terrified eyes of everyone, Xiahou Dun sighed inwardly, "Let's go quickly and rest well when we arrive in Juancheng."

After everyone heard the order, they immediately stood up in a hurry, helped Cheng Yu and left.

A group of people were afraid of being chased by soldiers, so they didn't dare to rest any longer, and rushed all the way, heading towards Juancheng in a hurry.

It was just a pain for Cheng Yu, who was already seriously injured, and the pain in his arm bumped by the horse was unbearable, and he almost fainted, but he didn't dare to stop, so he could only lie on the horse's back and gritted his teeth to support himself.

When they arrived at the foot of Juancheng, when everyone helped Cheng Yu off the horse, his face was as pale as paper and his whole body was trembling.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Xiahou Dun, they hurriedly opened the city gate, and at the same time, sent someone to communicate.

When everyone came to the city and joined forces to help Cheng Yu off the horse, his face was already as pale as paper and his breath was weak.

Xun Yu, who came in a hurry, had guesses in his heart, but when he saw this scene, he was still so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes.

"General Xiahou, how did Mr. Cheng get such a serious injury?"

Xiahou Dun sighed, "Wen Ruo, we lost again this time, Fan County was taken by Lu Bu."

"what?"

Xun Yu looked at Xiahou Dun with wide eyes, and a blush appeared on his jade-like cheeks due to excitement.

"General Xiahou, why did this happen? Didn't you dig a ditch in front of the city?"

Xiahou Dun shook his head, told what happened, and finally said with a sigh.

"Lü Bu's army is really too cunning, and they are not in a hurry to attack the city. They send people to fill in the pit first. It's really hateful!"

Having said that, Xiahou Dun turned his head to look at Xun Yu, and said with a wry smile, "Wen Ruo, Fan County is a lesson from the past, I'm afraid Juan City will not be safe!"

Xun Yu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "General Xiahou, you don't have to worry about Juancheng, I have my own way to deal with it."

Having said this, Xun Yu's tone paused for a moment, and after deliberating in his heart for a while, he said slowly.

"It seems that we need to send someone to urge the lord to come back earlier to take care of him."

In fact, what he really wanted to say was to send someone to Jizhou for help.

Jizhou and Yanzhou are adjacent to each other. If you go to ask for help, the nearest force can be reached in just one day.

But this kind of thing can only be decided by Cao Cao. If he acts rashly, even if Juancheng is saved, it will probably cause Cao Cao's dissatisfaction.

Xue Ti shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late. If Lu Bu immediately leads his troops to attack Juancheng, Juancheng may not be safe."

Xun Yu turned his head to look at Xue Ti, and smiled slightly, "Xue Zong, please don't worry, I will tell you that there is a way, and Lu Bu will definitely not be able to break through the city in a short time."

Xue Ti raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Can you tell me what can be done?"

Xiahou Dun frowned, "Xue Zongcheng, since Wen Ruo said there is a way, there must be a way."

Xue Ti shook his head, "The matter is of great importance. If there is no perfect plan, we will evacuate as soon as possible. We must not miss the important event."
