Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

On the day when news of chaos broke out in Chang'an City, Xu Rong sent people to Nanyang to report the matter. However, Chang'an is 800 miles away from Niyang. Even if the post station system from Chang'an to Niyang was destroyed by Lu Bu due to the war, After recovering, he sent the urgent documents as quickly as possible in exchange for twenty miles. It was already the third day when the news reached Lu Bu.

"Lord, Chang'an has been secured, and our army has no worries anymore!" Zhao Ang, who sent the letter, read the letter again after Lu Bu read it, and said with excitement.

Lu Bu nodded silently, then looked at Zhao Ang and said: "Send my military order and prepare to withdraw!"

"Here, I will inform you now...to withdraw the troops!?" Zhao Ang originally thought that Lu Bu was going to start a full-scale war with Yuan Shu, and was about to agree, but after hearing this, his expression suddenly became shocked, and he looked at Lu Bu in astonishment: " My lord, the rear is secure and our army has no further trouble at this time, why are we withdrawing our troops at this time?"

Lu Bu did not answer, but turned to look at Zhao Ang.

"Here!" Zhao Ang bowed and turned around to deliver the order.

I originally thought that at least some people would question this matter, but who knew that after Zhao Ang passed the order, no one, whether it was Gao Shun, Li Ru, or Yin Feng, the Nanyang general appointed by Lu Bu, had the slightest doubt and quickly started to pack their bags. Prepare to withdraw.

"Military advisor, shall we advise your lord?" Zhao Ang looked at Li Ru with some doubts.

"Why do you want to persuade?" Li Ru asked.

"In the Battle of Nanyang, our army fought and won consecutively, and Yuan Shu retreated to Wancheng. Now that our army's troubles have been eliminated, why do we have to withdraw at this time!?" Zhao Ang didn't understand. Yuan Shu's aura as the first prince was lost this time. Being beaten by Lu Bu in the Battle of Nanyang became a joke. Now that the last worries are gone, Lu Bu is preparing to withdraw his troops. No matter how you look at it, is this not the order that should be given at this time?

"What if Yuan Shu stays in Wancheng and doesn't leave?" Li Ru asked.

"Without food and water, Yuan Shu's troops are far superior to mine. How can he fight a war of attrition with our army?" Zhao Ang said in a deep voice.

Perhaps even the generals under Lu Bu did not realize that in their minds, they had unknowingly regarded Yuan Shu, whose strength was nearly twice theirs, as weak and could be surrounded at will.

Fortunately, Li Ru did not follow him, but just shook his head: "I was worried that my lord was blindly confident and would be taken advantage of by Yuan Shu. Now it seems that it is not my lord who is worried, but you young people!"

Zhao Ang was startled, looking at Li Ru's back, and seemed to realize for a moment, what was he talking about? Fifty thousand men surrounding a city with 80,000 troops?

On the other side, next to Gao Shun, Ma Chao also had the same doubts.

"General, we haven't fought yet, why are we leaving?" Ma Chao has been following Gao Shun during this period. His publicity has become much more reserved, and he looks more like a soldier now. But regarding Lu Bu's decision this time, he Very incomprehensible.

Why should we withdraw our troops when we are clearly winning consecutive battles? The most important thing is... As the main force, Gao Shun's troops have never participated in a serious battle. The withdrawal of troops at this time makes Ma Chao, who is full of hope to make achievements through this battle, feel very uncomfortable. He cannot accept this.

"This is a military order!" Gao Shun frowned and looked at Ma Chao.

"The general knew about it, and he didn't say anything about disobeying it. It's just that the general refused to accept it!" Ma Chao said with an aggrieved look on his face.

"Hold on, pack your bags quickly. Tomorrow the three armies will all withdraw from Niyang and retreat to Wuguan!" Gao Shun said while looking at the map.

"Here!" Ma Chao felt dissatisfied, but Gao Shun obviously couldn't stand on his side, so he could only bow and retreat with a depressed expression, and reluctantly began to pack his bags.

Wancheng and Niyang are sixty miles apart. The people here started to withdraw from Niyang early the next morning, so naturally they could not escape the eyes and ears of Yuan Shujun.

"There must be changes in Chang'an, Lord, this is a God-given opportunity!" Yan Xiang stood up and said to Yuan Shu.

From Chang'an to Nanyang, Lu Bu still has Wuguan to go to, but the news from Yuan Shu is much slower. Not only does it have to come from Yaoshan, the distance is farther, but the post stations along the way have long been abandoned with the desolation of Heluo. , the post station west of Tongguan belongs to Lu Bu, and it is impossible for them to use it. Therefore, Yuan Shu must be at least five days or more behind Lu Bu in terms of news from Guanzhong.

At this time, it was time to test the general's judgment and courage. If the exact news had been received, Lu Bu might have already retreated to Wuguan, and it was basically impossible to hold Lu Bu back.

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu, now was the time to make a decision!

"You mean...it has been successful over there?" Yuan Shu stood up and said excitedly.

"It is said that Lu Bu retreated very quickly and decisively. If Guanzhong had not succeeded, would Lu Bu'an have been so anxious?" Yan Xiang nodded fiercely.

Judging from the intelligence obtained so far, Lu Bu's withdrawal of troops is really not sloppy at all!

"Kill my soldiers, plunder my people, and now you want to leave so easily!?" Yuan Shu sneered: "Pass my military order and order all the troops to pursue Lu Bu immediately. There must be no mistakes!"

If Lu Bu can't be used by me, then I will never let him return to Chang'an alive!

Yuan Shu was quite courageous in making decisions. After learning that Lu Bu had withdrawn his troops, he immediately sent troops to pursue him without saying a word.

The Jianghuai Army, which had been stationed in Wancheng and did not dare to go out to fight, was proud this time. Under the leadership of various generals, they quickly crossed Niyang. Especially after seeing that Niyang was indeed empty, they became even more arrogant and nervous. Chase Lu Bu away.

And Lu Bu seemed to be in a hurry this time. Instead of being too strong against Yuan Shu's army before, a lot of useless baggage was left behind along the way, which shows that Lu Bu was in a hurry.

After two days of pursuit, Yuan Shu's army had already pursued them deep into the Qinling Mountains, but there was no sign of Lu Bu's army. According to the scouts, they were right in front, but they were always so far behind that they couldn't catch up!

"Lord, be careful of fraud!" Yan Xiang chased him here, faintly noticed something was wrong, and came to Yuan Shu's side and said in a deep voice.

"What's the trick?" Yuan Shu asked with a frown.

Yan Xiang carefully recalled what happened during this period, frowned and said: "From what I can see, Lu Bu is not only brave across the world, but also has a well-founded advance and retreat. Although the withdrawal is hasty now, he should leave behind troops to break up the rear. Then Our army is chasing us all the way, but there is no way to stop us..."

Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "The rear is cut off. If you are not careful, it will be a situation that will never be recovered. At this time, how can we talk about the distance? Besides, we have already chased here, how can we give up?"

At this time, Yuan Shu was quite courageous. Yan Xiang hesitated and persuaded: "In order to avoid falling into the trap, it is better to order the armies to get closer to avoid being taken advantage of by Lu Bu!"

Yuan Shu was about to say something, but he saw a commotion in the front army, and faint shouts of killing came from the front. Yuan Shu was about to shout and ask, but someone was already running towards Yuan Shu, saluting Yuan Shu: "My lord, General Chen Lan's troops have been attacked." The enemy's ambush has been defeated, and the defeated troops are coming this way!"

Yuan Shu was startled when he heard this, glanced at Yan Xiang, and said hurriedly: "Quickly, tell our army to order the three armies to form an array, and tell the defeated troops to go around the mountains and forests on both sides and not to attack the main array!"

This terrain is not conducive to formation. Once the main formation is disrupted by the defeated army and the enemy troops take advantage of the situation, the consequences will be very disastrous.

"Here!"

The general in charge of commanding the army hurriedly went to deliver the order. Yuan Shu's army immediately broke into formation and looked ahead warily.

The defeated troops from the front were already arriving one after another. The smarter ones rushed towards the mountains and forests on both sides after receiving the order, but the more numerous ones didn't have the brains and rushed towards this direction like headless flies.

"Fire the arrow!" Yuan Shu shouted sharply. He didn't care who the opponent was at this time. Anyone who dared to try to disrupt his Chinese army formation was an enemy. He would be killed without mercy.

Following Yuan Shu's order, arrows fell in an instant, and a large number of the defeated troops were killed by his own arrows. Only then did he think of taking a detour, but at this moment, a cry of killing suddenly came from the forest. Yuan Shu's army entered the forest and quickly rushed out. A group of soldiers and horses came out of the mountain forest. In Yuan Shu's horrified eyes, the cavalry drove the defeated army to kill.

"Stop them!" Yuan Shu's expression changed. At this time, it was too late to change the formation. He could only use the existing square formation to block them, but the original side now became the front. He wanted to use the method just now to get these defeated troops out of the way. , However, this time when the lives of both sides were threatened, the defeated soldiers went completely crazy and brutally slashed their weapons at the former robe.

Yuan Shu's Chinese army formation began to show signs of instability before it came into contact with the enemy.

When Yuan Shu saw this, his face turned pale. If this continued, the Chinese army would soon be overwhelmed by the enemy. He did not want to be Lu Bu's prisoner.

"My Lord, this place is dangerous. I'll wait for the Lord Protector to return to Nanyang first!" Several generals approached Yuan Shu and said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu's ambush appears. According to the previous procedures for fighting with Lu Bu, more ambushes will appear one after another. At this time, it is better to withdraw first!

"Okay!" Although Yuan Shu was unwilling to give in, it was nothing compared to his own life! ?

Immediately, he left the Chinese army under the escort of the soldiers and walked back with Yan Xiang.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is not Yuan Shu, otherwise the Chinese army would collapse immediately if Yuan Shu leaves like this.

Yuan Shu broke away from the central army and quickly joined Qiao Rui's troops in the rear.

"Lord, this is..." Qiao Rui looked at Yuan Shu with some confusion.

"The front army and the middle army were ambushed. Let's withdraw from the Qinling Mountains first!" Yuan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiao Rui, and quickly urged Qiao Rui to command the army to withdraw to the direction of Niyang.

However, before the army had gone ten miles away, in a valley, random arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests on both sides, knocking down a group of people, followed immediately by a cry of killing.

"Yuan Shu, the dog thief, why don't you leave your head quickly!" With a tiger's roar, Dian Wei was like a meat grinder, leading a team of men and horses to rush towards the direction of the Chinese army, where the pair of iron halberds passed by , the broken limbs fell to the ground, it was really a god blocking the killing god!

On the hillside, Xun You, standing next to Lu Bu, felt somewhat frightened...
