Chapter 1717: The Battle of Xuzhou (313)
Guan Yu wanted to intercept Xiahou, and at the same time did not send someone to remind Liu Lan to be careful, of course, if anything happened to him on the way to Xiapi, he must send news as soon as possible, and they would rescue him in time and not give Xiahou any opportunity to take advantage of.
After Liu Lan got the news, he had a slight disagreement with Guan Yu, in this matter, the main contradiction between him and Guan Yu was that although Xiahou was found in Siwu, he might not dare to intercept him, and the reason why he chose to leave Siwu County at this time, Liu Lan suspected that he was more likely to evacuate.
Just imagine, Xiahou is hiding in Siwu County, then he has various channels to know that Guan Yu is stationed in Xiapi, even if he knows his whereabouts, then it is very easy for Guan Yu to come to support, if Cao Cao has arrived in Lu County at this time, Xiahou is very likely to come, but Cao Cao's main force is now two or three days away from Lu County, once the war starts, the whip is out of reach, without any foreign aid, unless Xiahou eats the ambition leopard gall, otherwise he will not be able to attack him.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances, no one will make such a risky move, but if Xiahou is not among them, he just has to ignore the casualties of the soldiers, and he has to kill you with him, there is also this possibility, but in that case, unless Xiahou has a 100% chance of defeating him, otherwise he will be completely wiped out by the front and rear attacks, Liu Lan can guarantee that as long as Guan Yu can arrive in time, he will not give Xiahou any possibility of breaking away from the battle group, and no one will want to break through successfully, he will annihilate all Xiahou's troops.
It was under this analysis that Liu Lan had the confidence to believe that Xiahou would not come, but Guan Yu's worries were not unnecessary, so Liu Lan naturally agreed to him, but the troops still camped, continued to rest, and waited for dawn before setting off.
To be honest, Liu Lan now only has the Guards by his side, which is very dangerous, but Liu Lan has broken the surrounding troops into zero, which is safer for him, not only because there are only Guards left around him now, but also because even if there is really any danger in the cavalry force of thousands of people, the evacuation will be relatively simple, if it is not like this, he really ran into Xiahou, not to mention whether he can win or not, at least it is relatively easy to break through.
The reason why such a decision was made was entirely because of the result of the discussion with Xu Shu, and it also showed that the two were shrewd, and the troops were gathered together, and the momentum was indeed a deterrent, but compared to scattering the troops, there was a better chance of breaking through.
Xuzhou's troops have all evacuated Lu County, and now the remaining 3,000 guards cavalry are the last troops around, and the other troops have either arrived in Xiapi or are already heading towards Guangling.
This speed completely exceeded Liu Lan's expected goal, or Liu Lan didn't expect the speed of evacuation to be so fast, and he wanted to at least minimize the risk by breaking it into pieces, but he didn't expect such a result to occur, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
This dramatic situation appeared, or it was also a time for Xiahou, his purpose was to find Liu Lan, if it was just to intercept Xuzhou's troops, it would be easier, it was precisely because Liu Lan had not shown up that Xiahou finally missed the best opportunity.
And at this time, when he heard the news of the dragoons, of course Xiahou wanted to kill him directly, it was very simple, he couldn't wait, and if he didn't wait for Liu Lan to say it, if even these troops in Xuzhou were lost, wouldn't it be empty?
In such a situation, Xiahou could only make a move, but then he vetoed this possibility, it was too late, how could he stop the cavalry, not to mention what the existence of the dragoon army was, it was definitely the hardest bone in the Xuzhou army, but he didn't go, so he just pretended.
An explanation to the soldiers, but also an explanation to Cao Cao, the Xuzhou army made efforts to leave him, but he didn't stop the Xuzhou army.
And Xiahou's temporary change of hexagram also made Guan Yu feel strange in his heart, he didn't wait for his appearance, so he had to send someone to the lord's side to find out the situation, Liu Lan was not in a hurry, and he didn't have the slightest sense of danger at all, and finally knew that Xiahou did not appear, so he completely gave up looking for Xiahou.
And all this was expected by Liu Lan, and he was not surprised at all.
