Southwest of Chenliucheng.

35,000 Soviet soldiers were rushing along the northbound avenue towards Chen Liucheng.

Su Zhe had already learned through his detailed work that Lu Bu was like a frightened bird, and he actually abandoned Chen to stay and flee north, leaving only Zhang Liao and 2,000 remnants of soldiers to defend the city.

It was an unexpected surprise for him.

Therefore, he led the army, and the starry night was to take down the second important town in Yanzhou before Lu Bu came to his senses and strengthened the defense of Chen Liucheng.

When he was running wildly, a scout in front of him rushed over, and said: "My lord, Lu Bu has joined the 10,000 reinforcements led by Wang Ling, and he is now rushing south to Chenliu, and he will probably be able to reach Chenliu tomorrow evening at the latest." ”

Su Zhe frowned, and couldn't help but restrain the war horse.

Huangfu Song and the others saw Su Zhe stop, and they all gathered over and asked what was the matter.

When they learned that Lu Bu was less than a day's journey away from Chen Liu, they couldn't help but frown.

Everyone knew that it would take at least half a day for them to kill Ben Chenliu from here, that is, they would be able to kill them tomorrow afternoon.

And Lu Bu's reinforcements arrived only half a day later than them.

Although Chen Liu only has 2,000 people, Zhang Liao is not a waste.

They rushed to Chenliu and lined up preparations such as building a ladder, which could be used for the siege of no more than an hour.

No matter how weak Zhang Liao is, it is still no problem to resist for two hours.

At that time, Lü Bu would arrive with an army of 10,000, and in order to avoid being flanked by Lü Bu inside and outside, they had to give up the siege.

Once Lü Bu's army entered the city, this raid battle would turn into a protracted siege battle.

This is something that no one wants to see.

"Lu Bu, it seems that you reacted quite quickly, you came back to your senses so quickly and remembered the importance of Chen Liucheng." Su Zhe looked to the north and muttered.

At this time, the veteran Huang Zhong stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, I can lead the light cavalry to speed up the march, and I can rush to Chenliu tomorrow morning, maybe I can make a surprise attack on the city." ”

"You underestimate Zhang Liao." Su Zhe shook his head, "This person is not ordinary, with him guarding Chenliu, if you want to attack and break the city, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Huang Zhong's request for war was rejected, so he had to remain silent.

Huangfu Song sighed: "Since we are one step late, I don't think there is any need to rush to Chenliu so much, it is better to slow down the march, let the soldiers recover their strength, and then they can only attack hard." ”

The congregation will be silent.

Su Zhe touched his chin with his fingertips, and his eyes showed reluctance.

It was his established strategy to quickly fight and decide, sweep away Lü Bu as quickly as possible, seize Yanzhou, and gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains.

Once once it falls into a protracted siege again, Yuan Shao in the north, Dong Zhuo in the west, and even Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the east, and even Yuan Shu in Huainan may come to intervene and add many variables.

It has to be done quickly.

Pang Tong, who was also silent, suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and arched his hand: "Lord, in fact, we have always neglected one thing, in fact, our primary purpose is to eliminate Lu Bu, once Lu Bu is destroyed, Chen Liupuyang is not a problem, since this is the case, why do we have to be entangled in the matter of attacking the city." ”

"Mr. Shiyuan, what do you mean by this, why can't I understand, if you don't capture Chen Liu, how can you destroy Lu Bu?" Veteran Huang Zhong was puzzled.

The rest of the generals were all at a loss, unable to understand the meaning of Pang Tong's words.

Su Zhe rolled his eyes, suddenly realized something, and looked at Pang Tong's gaze, and suddenly burst out with a somewhat knowing sneer.

The two of them are both one of the Nine Wonders, one is Wolong, and the other is a phoenix, what wisdom.

The communication between them, needless to say, just a look, each other understands.

When Pang Tong saw Su Zhe's eyes, he knew that Su Zhe had guessed what he was talking about, so he smiled back.

……

The next day, at dusk.

North of Chen Liucheng, twenty miles.

On the way south, 13,000 soldiers and soldiers of Lu were passing through.

Lu Bu on the red rabbit horse, his brows were tightly locked, and when he ran, he sank into deep thought.

He also got the news and learned that Su Zhe was rushing to kill Chen Liu.

This news made him feel very worried, and he regretted more and more that he was timid for a while, and he actually gave up such an important town as Chenliu.

He knew very well what it meant to lose Chen Liu, so he had to double his efforts and make sure to arrive before Su Zhe captured Chen Liu.

However, according to the scout's report, he would only arrive at Chenliu two hours later than Su Zhe at the latest, so there would not be much time to stay with Su Zhe to attack the city.

"Zhang Liao should be able to hold out for an hour or two......" Lu Bu comforted himself like this, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Just as he was about to urge his soldiers to speed up their march again, another cavalry scout came galloping and shouted, "General, the enemy army has been found in the first seven miles, numbering about three thousand, arrayed on the southbound road, as if trying to stop our army. ”

The Soviet army appeared in front of seven miles?

Lu Bu's expression was shocked, revealing a bit of surprise.

Obviously, he thought that Su Zhe would attack Chen Liu with all his might, but he didn't expect that Su Zhe would send troops and horses to stop him.

"Wen Hou, this is most likely because the Su thief was afraid that we would arrive at Chenliu in time, so he sent troops and horses to block us, wanting to capture Chenliu for him and gain enough time." Wang Ling, who was beside him, immediately saw through Su Zhe's intentions.

Lu Bu's face immediately burned with disdain, and he snorted coldly: "Just three thousand soldiers and horses, just want to stop Benhou, what a joke, Gao Shun, Wang Ling, you two will follow up with the rear army, Benhou will personally unify the front army and crush the enemy army in the way." ”

Wang Ling naturally had nothing to say.

Gao Shun beside him said: "General, do you wait for Mr. Gongtai to arrive and listen to his opinion before making a decision." ”

Lu Bu said impatiently: "It's just a few thousand enemy troops, and you still have to listen to his opinions, isn't it possible that whatever you do, you have to get his permission!" ”

Gao Shun's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't mean this, the subordinates just want to ......"

"Alright, you don't have to be verbose." Lu Bu interrupted him and said resolutely: "It's decided, you can lead the rear army to rush over, wait to clean up the battlefield, no one wants to stop Ben Hou from killing happily today!" ”

At that moment, Lu Bu didn't listen to Gao Shun's dissuasion, rode like the wind, and disappeared at the end of the avenue in a blink of an eye.

Five thousand former sergeants, following Lu Bu closely, the wind also accelerated forward.

Seven miles away.

On the road to the south, 3,000 Soviet troops lined up solemnly, and a big banner with the word "Xu" flew dazzlingly.

Xu Huang stood with a horizontal axe, motionless as a mountain, and his calm gaze stared ahead.

The sun is setting in the west, and at the end of the avenue in the north, the rolling dust and mist rise into the sky and roll in.

In the blink of an eye, countless enemy soldiers came out of the dust and mist, surging in.

The banner of the word "Lu" is even more flying in front, extremely domineering.

"Lu Bu, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." A sneer rose at the corner of Xu Huang's mouth.
