Chapter 293 Business at a Loss

Chapter 293

"Why do I have to do everything? I've had enough trouble." Lv Bu said a word faintly and stopped discussing this issue with Zhang Liao.

"General, our flanks were attacked." Sun Jian led his troops to fight with the trapped camp, and suddenly a soldier reminded Sun Jian.

"Damn it, what kind of situation is this in front of you? Why is it so difficult to attack?" Hearing the soldier's reminder, a trace of ugly color appeared on Sun Jian's face. Originally, in Sun Jian's calculation, the soldiers and horses brought by Gao Shun must not be very powerful. As long as there is an impact on his side, they can be scattered. After that, Sun Jian went to intercept Dong Zhuo, but Sun Jian thought that his attack was actually blocked by these soldiers and horses with strange positions in front of him. Now the enemy has the opportunity to attack his wings. Even if Gao Shun really intends to fight with him, if he sends troops and horses to attack Mianchi at this time, then Sun Jian is likely to be attacked by the enemy, which makes Sun Jian have to worry.

"The order goes down, the army retreats, and we go back to the city." After taking a deep look at the array in front of him, Sun Jian finally decided to retreat. Victory is what Sun Jian longs for, but once the price of victory exceeds his expectations, Sun Jian is also unwilling. After all, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses are now surrounded by Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses. Sun Jian does not believe that other princes can come to the rescue when he faces Dong Zhuo's siege.

"Major General, let's go back." Looking at Sun Ce rushing back and forth, but then being strongly blocked by the enemy in front of him, Huang Gai couldn't help but say with some disappointment.

The performance of the army in front of him has exceeded Huang Gai's imagination. According to Huang Gai's understanding, this army should have been scattered under several impacts of himself and Sun Ce, and even fled. However, the development of the matter is completely different from Huang Gai's imagination. The army in front of him is like a pool of water. Wherever Huang Gai and Sun Ce rush, they will be desperately counterattacked by the soldiers there. When the two of them leave, the torn opening just now will be repaired by the enemy soldiers again. Huang Gai and Sun Ce killed for a long time, but they could only fight in the encirclement of these soldiers. By this time, Huang Gai had deeply known the horrors of this army, and a trace of retreat arose in his heart. At this time, Sun Jian's order to retreat also came from behind him.

"Damn, this battle is really aggrieved. Let's go back." In the face of such a tenacious enemy in front of him, Sun Ce was also very helpless and could only leave.

"General Gao, Sun Jian is going to retreat. Shall we chase him?" Seeing that Sun Jian began to retreat, Wei Xu hurriedly asked Gao Shun to fight. Cheng Lian on one side was also eager at this time, waiting for Gao Shun's order.

"No, let's go back to the camp?" Gao Shun's eager eyes were real, but Gao Shun did not satisfy their desire. He just said something faintly, and then the messenger played the flag of withdrawing troops back to the camp.

"This? How can you retreat with such a good opportunity?" Hearing Gao Shun's order, Wei Xu's face was full of unbelief.

"General Lv Bu gave this team to me. My task is to keep this team well for General Lv Bu. Although Sun Jian in front of us is an enemy, fighting with him only brings us losses and no gains. Why do we have to go?" Looking at Wei Xu, who was unconvinced, Gao Shun turned around and taught him a lesson. There is a more important reason in Gao Shun's heart at this time, that is, Gao Shun vaguely feels that after going to Yongzhou this time, Lv Bu will face a more complicated situation, and the power in his hand will play a more important role. Lv Bu is not a person under the shelter of others. They are generals, and there is another hope that Lv Bu What about under the fence? And all this needs strength to achieve, so Gao Shun is not interested in the battle with Sun Jian. Gao Shun is more concerned about the future development in Yongzhou.

After Sun Jian withdrew to Mianchi, he looked at the barracks set up by Gaoshun outside the city and the slow team moving slowly from the other side of Mianchi City in the direction of Chang'an, but fell into a dilemma.

"Father, look over there. Dong Zhuo is really cruel. He actually took the officials and people of Luoyang to Chang'an together. Should we do it?" Sun Jian's side, Sun Ce looked at the team outside the city and slowly headed for Chang'an.

"General Huang Gai, let's go and hit him. What do you think?" Sun Jian looked at the team outside the city and asked Huang Gai with a solemn face.

"Once we send troops, we will definitely be blocked by Gao Shun. If Gao Shun is only blocking, there is nothing. I'm afraid that he will not block, but wait for us to grab things and then grab them. In this way, our army will not only fail to fall anything, but will be in danger. Moreover, Dong Zhuo's team is mixed with a large number of people, and the casualties of the people in the battle are not small. Huang Gai looked at the team outside the city and said solemnly.

"Do we do nothing and just look at Dong Zhuo go to Chang'an like this?" Hearing this, Sun Ce said with some excitement.

"This is not necessary. Although our army may not really get anything, it can harass Dong Zhuo's team. Once they are in chaos, they may not be able to do it. Just beware of Gao Shun. Huang Gai thought for a moment and said.

"In this way, isn't it possible that we will not only get any benefits, but also bring losses? Let's forget such a thankless thing. Although Luoyang is already a piece of scorched earth, Dong Zhuo is eager to leave. As long as we arrive first, we may not be able to get anything. After listening to Huang Gai's analysis, Sun Jian finally made a decision.

At this time, the dust flew in the distance, and the sound of horses' hoofs came, but a team of tens of thousands of people rushed from afar, which surprised many people. The team was the first to wear some golden armor and sit down a batch of red war horses. Many people were already familiar with this scene. It was Lv Bu who came with his wolf horse.

On this side, Lv Bu came with a wolf horse, and Gao Shun's barracks on the other side immediately made a move. A neat row of troops greeted him. The first few generals were Gao Shun and others, and a beautiful figure at the gate of the camp was looking forward to it. Although it was far away, Lv Bu saw it. This person It was Cai Yan, Lv Bu's beloved wife. At this time, Cai Yan's servant sword and servant piano were also standing behind him and looked at Lv Bu on this side.

"We are looking forward to the return of the general. What the general told me was fortunate not to be humiliated. As soon as he saw Lv Bu, Gao Shun fell to the ground first and said.

"Ha ha, I'm relieved to see that you are all right." Although Lv Bu knew that Gao Shun was a stable person, and there would be nothing wrong with these people when they were handed over to Gao Shun, he didn't feel at ease until now when he saw Gao Shun.

"In these days when the general is away, my wife misses the general very much. General, go and have a look." Seeing that Lv Bu was talking to himself, he had already looked at Cai Yan. Gao Shun naturally knew what was good or not. He said something casually and waved his hand to leave with the generals, leaving time for Lv Bu and Cai Yan.

"Are you all right?" Looking at Cai Yan, who was slightly red in front of him, Lv Bu didn't know what to say. There seemed to be a thousand words in his heart, but when he came to his mouth, it could only become such a greeting.

"Everything is fine in my family, and the general is worried about it." Looking at Lv Bu, Cai Yan suddenly felt a little shy and made a great blessing. He said a soft sentence and turned around and walked towards the barracks. After taking a few steps, he turned around and nodded to Lv Bu and motioned Lv Bu to follow him. However, these actions in Lv Bu's eyes made Lv Bu a little dumbfounded, but Lv Bu was in the barracks. Li was used to giving orders. At this time, there were a few more women, which made Lv Bu not know what to do.

"Well, you go back first. I still have some military affairs to deal with. I'll see you later." Looking at Cai Yan's back, Lv Bu finally said this sentence. It's not that Lv Bu doesn't want to grab Cai Yan into the tent immediately, but this is a barracks after all. Lv Bu can't let the sergeants say that Lv Bu is lustful. Although it is not a secret that Lv Bu is lustful. However, you still need to keep some majesty in front of your subordinates.

"I didn't expect Lv Bu to come at this time. It seems that Yuan Shao's people are not far away." Looking at the meeting of Lv Bu and Gao Shun on the Mianchi City Tower, Sun Jian said faintly.

"General, what should we do next? You can't let Yuan Shao take the lead in entering Luoyang City. Huang Gai said worriedly.

"Of course, the order goes down. After we entered the night, we quietly slipped away and went to Luoyang. I don't believe that Yuan Shao can get ahead of us. Sun Jian said firmly.

On Lv Bu's side, a group of generals gathered in the big tent, and Gao Shun was reporting the details of this period to Lv Bu.

" By the way, have you disposed of all the goods we got in Runan last time?" After listening to Gao Shun's report on military matters, Lv Bu suddenly asked. That batch of goods is the largest amount of property Lv Bu has achieved so far, and Lv Bu is very concerned about him.

"Well, this? The goods have been shipped to Chang'an, most of which have been replaced with land deeds according to the general's instructions, and a small part of them have been left in Chang'an. It's just, just." Gao Shun stammered when he heard Lv Bu ask.

Seeing Gao Shun's expression, Lv Bu was shocked that there was something wrong with the goods, but he was relieved when he heard Gao Shun's words.

"Since it's all done, what else is there?" Looking at Gao Shun's depressed expression, Lv Bu asked puzzledly.

"Well, the general doesn't know. Although we have a lot of land now, the Luoyang residents who have moved to Chang'an have been looted by the Xiliang soldiers. I'm afraid that they will have no money to buy land when they arrive in Chang'an. In this way, it will be difficult for us to recover our initial investment?" Gao Shun finally said with some heartache and some chagrin. Anyone would have thought that once the capital was moved to Chang'an, Lv Bu, who had a large amount of land in Chang'an, would definitely make a lot of money. But who could have thought that those who went to Chang'an were all dilapided people? And those rich families have also been looted by Dong Zhuo at this time, so that Lv Bu's business seems to have become a loss-making business.
