At the beginning, Lu Bu came to Wancheng without thinking about fighting with Yuan Shu.

In a row, Lu Bu's purpose of coming out this time has been achieved. He came to Wancheng to show off his power on the surface, but in fact it was to attack Yuan Shu's morale.

But Lu Bu didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be so uneasy and make such a decision.

At first, Lu Bu doubted whether there were ambushers nearby and Yuan Shu would go to battle. However, to the west of Wancheng, there was a flat horse. Although there was a river blocking it, it was impossible to escape the scouts and investigate if they wanted to hide their soldiers in this terrain. Only on the side of the river could they hide soldiers.

However, whether the troops hidden on Linhe had no effect on Lu Bu, so Lu Bu judged that Yuan Shu was really angry with him and ignored the terrain and timing, and boldly sent troops to encircle him.

In the wilderness, the cavalry will be defeated by the soldiers. Unless they are hedged, as long as the cavalry does not charge head-on and the cavalry generals have a certain level, it will be impossible to succeed.

Being so easily angered, his evaluation of Yuan Shu was reduced by several levels. This is not the character that a overlord should have!

But since the other party took the initiative to put his face up and beat him, how could Lu Bu let the other party go easily?

When Ji Ling and others withdrew their troops, Lu Bu returned again.

Although Ji Ling reacted in time, the army could not react in time to arrange the array. Lu Bu first rode and shot the already scattered formation in a wave of cavalry on the horse, and then he took the lead and rushed into the crowd. Infantry that failed to form a formation was like a lamb to be slaughtered in this situation.

"Stay! Don't panic!" In the pale sky light, Ji Ling tried hard to maintain stability. Fleeing at this time is the stupidest way to do it, and the general must stabilize the formation.

Ji Ling's shouting did play a part of the role. After all, Yuan's army could not be considered a real mob, but it would not be defeated for a moment.

But Ji Ling's army barely stabilized the formation, and Chen Lan's army, who had been defeated by Lu Bu, no longer had this mentality. They were already scared by Lu Bu and were now becoming the best breakthrough for Lu Bu. The cavalry took Chen Lan's troops directly, and the huge cavalry formation rushed in. It seemed to be powerful, but in fact the speed was far from being increased to the maximum.

However, the pressure brought by the cavalry formation made Chen Lanjun completely collapse and began to flee towards the city gate, directly destroying Ji Ling's newly stabilized military formation!

Chance!

Lu Bu was like a wolf king hunting prey. When the enemy showed his flaws, he rushed forward without hesitation and gave the enemy a fatal blow!

Taking advantage of Chen Lan's flaws in breaking through the enemy's army, Lu Bu's cavalry formation was like a sharp blade cutting into tofu, easily killing through the already fragile reinforcements.

Then there was a massacre.

It was no longer possible for Yuan Shu's army to maintain any military formation, so they rushed to the direction of the city gate.

Lu Bu's eyes fell on the city gate and wanted to take the opportunity to rush in several times, but on the top of the city, Yuan Shusheng was afraid that Lu Bu would come in and ordered Liu Xun to shoot Lu Bu desperately, which blocked Lu Bu's attack and even caused a lot of damage to the cavalry, but Yuan Jun died under the rule of the random arrows!

Lu Bu failed to rush into the city after several tests. On the other hand, Ji Ling began to reorganize military discipline after entering the city. At this time, there was no good opportunity to expand the results of the battle, but it was enough.

Lu Bu and his cavalry came to the land of arrows, looked towards the city, suddenly exhaled and laughed loudly, "Yuan Gaolu, I suddenly felt a little pity for you!"

With Yuan Shu's behavior, even if he doesn't meet himself, his future will be a stepping stone for others!

After saying that, he didn't stop anymore and took his men and horses away.

On the city tower, Yuan Shu looked at the cavalry's leaving back with a pale complexion. In today's battle, not only did he fail to take down Lu Bu, but he was beaten to abandon his armor by Lu Bu.

It doesn’t count how many people are lost, but morale... Not to mention morale, when the war comes out today, Yuan Shu’s face is completely gone. If he didn’t send troops, it wouldn’t have been like this, but for this moment, it would be like throwing his face at the other party’s feet and being repeatedly trampled on by the other party!

"Lord, last general..." Ji Ling packed up the soldiers in the army and brought Chen Lan and Qiao Rui to Yuan Shu, bowed to Yuan Shu and said.

No matter where the root of this defeat lies, as a general, there is no doubt that he will be defeated.

"This battle shouldn't be fought right?" Yuan Shu didn't answer, but just looked at the direction where Lu Bu left and asked suddenly.

Ji Ling and the other two changed their expressions and bowed and said, "The last one is incompetent, and the face of the lord is damaged..."

Yuan Shu raised his hand, stopped Ji Ling and the other two, looked at the direction where Lu Bu left and said, "Forget it, today's battle, I'll wait, let's go and rest."

After the aura in his heart gradually dissipated, Yuan Shu, who had recovered his rationality, also understood that the reason for the defeat in this battle was actually him. He shouldn't have sent troops, and he took it over and led to a great defeat. At this time, Ji Ling and the others were useless, and Yuan Shu was somewhat ashamed, but it was impossible to let him admit that he was wrong in person.

This way, if you don’t mention it or mention it in the past, it may be the best result for everyone.

"Here!"

The three generals followed Yuan Shu for a long time, and naturally knew that Yuan Shu realized that he was wrong and breathed a sigh of relief. No one would get entangled in this matter at this time. Following a lord like Yuan Shu, ability is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you must have the eyesight and be able to be a human being, otherwise it will be difficult to eat here.

Yuan Shu was defeated in a row and was blocked by Lu Bu and beaten up. Naturally, he was blind and his morale was low. When Lu Bu led his cavalry to Nieyang, Li Meng and Zhang Xiu had already led their troops back. Gao Shun was busy strengthening Nieyang and preparing to fight the Nanyang army.

"Yuan Shu would not send troops in recent days!" After Lu Bu settled the cavalry, he brought everyone to the Nieyang Yamen Office, and said with a smile about what happened after he separated from Li Meng and Zhang Xiu.

After suffering major defeats one after another, Yuan Shu's morale will inevitably be depressed. Even if he does not retreat, he may not dare to fight rashly before he recovers his morale.

"Lord, will you take advantage of the situation to attack the city at this time?" Li Meng was a little excited. Yuan Shu's army suffered heavy blows, his morale was low, and his troops were seriously damaged. His control over Nanyang must be reduced. Should we take the opportunity to conquer the city and take down various cities at this time?

Lu Bu shook his head and said nothing.

Yin Feng bowed and said, "Lord, I thought this was inappropriate. Although our army won consecutive victories, the Yuan army was powerful. If we divided our troops to attack the city at this time, it would be easier to be defeated by Yuan Shu in one by one! Moreover, once the battlefield spreads, it would affect the entire Nanyang. At that time, the people of Nanyang fled. For our army, even if we finally took Nanyang, it would be ruined. It would be better to gather troops and join us and take advantage of this great victory to seek a decisive battle with Yuan Shu. If we can win in one battle, why worry about Yuan Shu not retreating?"

Lu Bu and Li Ru looked at each other and nodded with a smile. What Yin Feng said was exactly what they thought. Now it is not a time to conquer the city and territories. As long as Yuan Shu is driven away, Nanyang will naturally be theirs.

"What Ci Zeng said is right. Don't rush to attack the city at this time. Why don't you worry about losing ground if you defeat Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu made a conclusion about this matter and looked at the generals.

After the generals retreated, Li Ru said to Lu Bu: "Lord, now that our army has won a lot of victories, Yuan Shu's momentum has declined. Ru thought that he could contact Liu Biao, Cao Cao and other princes to attack Yuan Shu together. At that time, Yuan Shu would be difficult to deal with."

In Nanyang and Yuzhou, Yuan Shu must give up one. Then see how Yuan Shu chooses?

Lu Bu nodded. Until now, Yuan Shu's loss of troops and generals was actually secondary. What's important is that his reputation as the best prince in the world was pulled in front of Lu Bu and repeatedly patted him. Yuan Shu was indeed the best prince in terms of power. However, once his reputation was gone, when everyone saw that Yuan Shu was just like this, his mentality would change subtly.

For example, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Tao Qian and other princes who had only verbally supported Lu Bu before may turn into actual actions, and the number one prince in the world may become fat in the eyes of others.

This is human nature, and it is also a general trend. A war changes everyone's original view of a prince. When this view almost becomes a consensus, the trend becomes.

Yuan Shu's position as the first prince may not be preserved for long.

"Next, if Yuan Shu retreats, he will be between him and Liu Biao..." Lu Bu looked at Li Ru. Once Yuan Shu retreated, the relationship between Nanyang and Liu Biao became subtle.

"Lord, if our army wants to obtain the Central Plains in the future, we can only unite with Liu Biao and not get into evil!" Li Ru thought for a while and reminded.

If Lu Bu wants to attack the Central Plains, Nanyang is a very good springboard. As the rear, if Liu Biao does not swallow Jingxiang in one mouthful, the best way is to have a good relationship rather than a war.

Lu Bu naturally understood this truth, but it was equivalent to handing over his back to Liu Biao.

As if he saw Lu Bu's doubts, Li Ru smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, Liu Biao first entered Jingxiang. Although he had received the support of the scholars of Jingxiang, his foundation was not stable. He needed the support of the court. If the lord could express kindness to Liu Biao at this time, Liu Biao would definitely not be evil with the lord. There is no need to worry about this."

"I hope so." Lu Bu nodded. The problems in Jingzhou are no less than those in Nanyang. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The clans in Jingzhou are even more numerous. Without the shock and support of external forces, it would be great that Liu Biao could defend Jingzhou.

Next, the two began to discuss the specific governance strategies of Nanyang. Although Yuan Shu is still in Nanyang and has not been completely defeated, as Yin Feng said, after this battle spreads, the situation in the world will undergo subtle changes. At that time, Yuan Shu can only choose one between Nanyang and Yuzhou!
