Chapter 133 Yuan Shu's withdrawal

Chapter 133

"Even so, our strength is still too small to compete with Yuan Shu." Lv Bu said in a few words.

"I don't know what the general plans to do in the future? Once Yuan Shu knew that my army had captured Runan, he would definitely lead a large army back to help. At that time, we would take the opportunity to slip away and then take Wancheng. I believe that at that time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were tired, and he was afraid that we would take his back path, so it would be difficult to pose any threat to our army for a while. Lv Bu said with his eyes narrowed slightly.

Just as Lv Bu led the wolf horse to capture Runan, the army led by Yuan Shu on the other side had also reached the bottom of Wancheng.

"There is Wancheng in front of him. I don't know how the general is going to take Wancheng?" Looking at the Wancheng in front of him and the Lv Bu flag hanging on the Wancheng, it was difficult for Wei Zhongdao to calm down, but Wei Zhongdao did not show it directly in front of Yuan Shu, but slowly asked.

"Ha ha ha, the hatred between the sage brother and Lv Bu naturally knows it clearly, but the city of Wancheng is high and deep, but it is not so easy to take down. I'm going to contact Chen first and ask him to find a way to open the gate, and then the army will go in again to annihilate Lv Bu in one fell swoop. It's just that when Lv Bu sees my army coming, he may not be able to guard against Chen. I'm afraid it's not so easy for Chen to join hands with us. Yuan Shao said lightly.

"Since the general knows that it is difficult to take down Wancheng for a while, why did the general come to attack Wancheng?" Seeing that Yuan Shu did not mean to attack Wancheng immediately, Wei Zhongdao said puzzledly.

"Ha ha, now all kinds of princes have gathered in Chen Liu to fight against Dong Zhuo. Among the princes, Yuan Shao and I have the greatest power. I believe that after the princes' alliance, Yuan Shao will definitely take the lead with me. If Dong Zhuo can occupy Luoyang, the virtuous brother will not think that Dong Zhuo is for nothing. It happened that Lv Bu occupied Wancheng at this time. I can just use this as an excuse. I don't have to go to Chen Liuhui League and let Yuan Shao and others take the lead. Yuan Shu said his plan with a smile.

"The general is really wise. Now Yuan Shao's power is above the general. The general's alliance is indeed not good. However, if the general doesn't go, he will make the princes of the world laugh. It's better for the general to go to the alliance and ask the princes to attack Luoyang in two ways. In this way, although Yuan Shao's power is strong, he can only control the army all the way, and the general can also control the army all the way. He is not afraid that Yuan Shao is too strong in understanding. Seeing that although Yuan Shu entered Wancheng, he still wanted to calculate Yuan Shao, Wei Zhongdao came up with an idea.

So Yuan Shu gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside Wancheng, but built all kinds of siege equipment all day long. Just don't attack. The encirclement of Wancheng is also not very tight.

"General, what is this? Since Yuan Shu came to Wancheng, he didn't attack. Is it just to spend time with us? Seeing that Yuan Shu was not attacking, Dian Wei said anxiously.

"Well, Yuan Shu is really cunning. Now the alliance has begun to gather in Chen Liu. If Yuan Shu attacks at this time, he is likely to weaken his strength no matter whether he wins or loses. However, Yuan Shu's ambition is not only Wancheng, so Yuan Shu should keep these forces and wait for the opportunity. What's more, there is still a Chen in the city now. Yuan Shu may not have no hope for Chen. Gao Shun said speculatively.

"Yuan Shu is so consumed. Can't we also be so consumed? Why don't I take the soldiers out and kill him for a while?" Dian Wei said with some itchy hands.

"General Dian Wei should be patient. Now that the war is approaching, the situation is unknown. Each of our soldiers is the foundation for us to stand on. There is no need to sit in these meaningless battles. Let's look at the situation. Although he is now facing Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, Gao Shun does not intend to fight with Yuan Shu on the spot. It must be that the situation is complicated now, and there is no need to kill him when the situation is unknown. What's more, there is enough food and fodder in Wancheng, and Gao Shun is not afraid to consume it like this. Of course, the main reason is that Gao Shun knew that Lv Bu had gone to Runan for a long time. It would be a matter of time before Yuan Shu withdrew his troops. Even if he really wanted to fight with Yuan Shu, it would be a real good time to beat the falling dog when Yuan Shu withdrew.

Two days later, Yuan Shu was discussing the current situation with Wei Zhongdao in the account when a soldier suddenly broke in.

"General, the big deal is not good. Lv Bu led troops to sneak attack Runan, and now he has captured Runan?" As soon as the soldiers rushed in, they hurriedly reported to Yuan Shu.

"What? How could this happen? It's impossible." Hearing this news, Yuan Shu's face suddenly changed. You should know that the Yuan family has been operating in Runan for many years, radiating the whole state and even the land of Jingxiang with Runan as the center. Now Runan has fallen into the hands of Lv Bu. How can Yuan Shu accept this? For a moment, Yuan Shu was sweating all over. Say it again, what's going on?" Yuan Shu couldn't believe his ears.

"General, Lv Bu occupied Runan. The old woman sent a small one to ask the general to help quickly and rescue Runan." The soldier said again.

"This, this." After Yuan Shu was confirmed, he fell into a chair and didn't know what to say. No wonder there has been no movement in Wancheng these days. It turned out that Lv Bu was not in Wancheng, but went to Runan. By now, Yuan Shu has finally figured out why he hasn't seen Lv Bu these days and why he is mainly walking in Wancheng, but Yuan Shu didn't notice these things at the beginning, but it's a little late to think about it now.

"What did you just say? Did the old woman send you here? Is the old woman safe now? Wei Zhongdao, who was beside him, heard something different and asked the soldier who reported the news.

"The old woman is fine. After Lv Bu entered the city, he did not harass the Yuan family's mansion. The old woman was just frightened and was fine." The soldier nodded and replied.

"Well, how many people did Lv Bu bring? Did he capture other cities except Runan?" Wei Zhongdao asked again.

"Well, when the villain came, I heard that Lv Bu only brought about tens of thousands of cavalry, but he attacked Runan and did not attack other cities." After thinking for a moment, the soldier replied.

"General, don't panic. There are only ten thousand people in Lv Bu. Attacking and defending Runan is his limit, and he has no strength to attack the surrounding cities at all. In other words, the Yuan family is still there. As long as the general returns to the army and rectify all kinds of soldiers and horses, he will definitely take back Runan in one fell swoop and reproduce the glory of the Yuan family. After Wei Zhongdao understood the situation, he quickly analyzed it.

"You're right. Although Lv Bu captured Runan, my Yuan family has deep roots and luxuriant branches and leaves, and has not been hurt at all." After Wei Zhongdao's suggestion, Yuan Shu immediately reflected it. We will return to the army now. I want to take back Runan.

"General, slow down. When our army returned to the army, Lv Bu's army and horses on the side of Wanwan City had to defend. They thought that a powerful general should be sent to set an ambush in Lushan. The enemy knew that my army was retreating, and they would not have thought that we would set an ambush on the road. Wei Zhongdao saw that Yuan Shu was in chaos at this time, and hurriedly reminded him again.

"Yes, our army is eager to return to the army. Wancheng will definitely not make us proud. We will definitely send troops to stop it, and let Ji Ling lead 10,000 elites to set an ambush in Lushan." Reminded by Wei Zhongdao, Yuan Shu calmed down a little, and then said, "Order the army to abandon all the heavy and large equipment and return to the army with all their strength." Now Yuan Shu can't take care of so much. Once Yuan Shu loses Runan, Yuan Shu will lose his greatest dependence.

Just as Yuan Shu withdrew, Gao Shun and others in Wancheng had also seen the clue.

"Ha ha, Yuan Shu left in such a hurry that General Lu Bu must have taken Runan." Looking at Yuan Shujun, who hurriedly withdrew from outside the city, Gao Shun said confidently.

"General, it's time to beat the falling dog. We might as well send troops to beat him so that they can know it's awesome." Seeing Yuan Shu's army withdrawing outside the city, Hou Cheng couldn't help saying.

"Forget it. Our army is mainly a marching army, and it does not have an advantage in speed. The enemy's rush to go home must be extremely fast, and our army may not be able to catch up for a while. What's more, once the enemy sets an ambush, it is difficult for our army to avoid losses. Gao Shun hesitated, but he still didn't want to pursue.

"What is General Gao's words? Yuan Shu's soldiers came here. Now we haven't fought with Yuan Shujun. Now that Yuan Shu has escaped, how can our army ignore it? The speed of the marching army is too slow, just send me there. My iron horse can just come in handy. Seeing this at this time, Gao Shun was still unwilling to send troops, and Dian Wei said angrily.

Dian Wei originally came out this time to test his chains, but when the battle was about to be over, he still didn't get a chance to get out. Naturally, he had some complaints.

"Ha ha, what the general said also makes sense. Maybe I'm too worried too much. In this way, I will leave 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Wancheng, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will go out of the city with me and beat the water dog." Gao Shun knew that Yuan Shu was besieged the city, and the generals had resentment in their hearts. If they don't let the generals get out, there will be a gap in leading the army in the future. It must be that Gao Shun is not Lv Bu, and he can say a word in front of these generals. For Gao Shun, he sometimes has to take care of the emotions of generals.

"Hahaha, General Gao is really a cheerful person. In that case, I'll go first." Dian Wei was thinking about chasing and killing Yuan Shu and answered.

"General Dian Wei, wait a minute. Let Cheng Lian go with you. General Cheng Lian is calm. When the general encounters a situation, he can discuss with General Cheng Lian." Although he agreed to attack, Gao Shun was not very reassured. There must be two thousand cavalry in Dianwei's hand now, and he is the only cavalry in Wancheng. Once the pursuit begins, the cavalry will inevitably distance themselves from the marching army. For the sake of safety, Gao Shun has to send the calm Cheng Lian and Dian Wei to go together, which is also reassuring.
