"Yuan Rang, I just received news that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor!"

When Xiahou Dun was training with his new soldiers in the camp, Xiahou Yuan came up in a hurry.

As soon as Xia Houyuan came up, the news brought by Xia Houyuan made Xiahou Dun's pupils dilate involuntarily.

"What are you talking about, that guy Yuan Shu actually became emperor?"

After learning the news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor, Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

This time Yuan Shu became emperor, it happened to be an opportunity for him.

He was worried about having nothing to do in Xuzhou. The news that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor just gave him an excuse.

Anyway, if Meng De learns such news, he will definitely choose to attack Yuan Shu. This time Shouchun is not far from him, and he can lead troops to attack Yuan Shu.

For Xiahou Dun, Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor is nothing more than committing suicide!

When Yuan Shu attacked Yanzhou before, he followed Cao Cao to pursue Yuan Shu. In his eyes, the opponent was almost vulnerable.

"Wonderful talent, such a good thing!"

When Xiahou Dun heard the news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor, the corners of his mouth almost burst into tears, but Xiahou Yuan in front of him was in a daze.

Yuan Shu has become emperor, what are you happy about?

"Yuan Rang, that guy Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor this time is an act of treason. Why are you so happy?"

Xia Houyuan asked aloud, and after hearing this, Xia Houdun raised the corner of his mouth and responded.

"Miaocai, it's precisely because that guy became emperor that I'm happy!"

"Right now, you and I have nothing to do in Xuzhou. Now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, we just take this opportunity to send troops to attack Yuan Shu."

Hmm?

Send troops to attack Yuan Shu?

Xia Houyuan glanced at Xiahou Dun strangely: "But this time my brother has no letter to you and me, so if he sends troops rashly..."

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but chuckle: "As the saying goes, if you are outside, you will not accept your orders, not to mention that the person in charge of the court now is Meng De!"

"Why, are you still worried that Meng De will blame you and me?"

Xiahou Dun curled his lips, paused and continued.

"This time Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor. After Meng De knows this, he will definitely raise his troops to attack Yuan Shu. However, he happens to be leading an army to march westward right now, so I am afraid it will be difficult to raise his troops for a while!"

"And you and I are stationed in Xuzhou. Now it's just the right time to attack Yuan Shu. Why should we hesitate?"

"Are you afraid of that guy Yuan Shu?"

Xia Houdun chuckled, and when he heard this, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

As for Yuan Shu, there is no way he should be afraid of him. What Xiahou Dun said is correct.

If Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, Cao Cao will definitely raise his troops to attack him.

Now they are marching to attack Yuan Shu, but there is no problem at all.

"Brother is right. If so, Yuan will listen to brother!"

Nodding towards Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan agreed with the former's statement.

At this time, the two of them discussed it and hurriedly summoned their generals, including some of the garrison troops originally stationed in Xuzhou, plus the newly recruited soldiers, no more, no less, exactly 30,000 people.

……

"Yuan Shu is a traitor. He is treasonous and unethical. He pretends to be emperor. I want to raise an army to attack him..."

Outside Xiapi City, Xiahou Dun led his army to swear an oath. After making some remarks, he led his army straight to Shouchun.

At this time, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan did not know that Lu Bu had already negotiated with Yuan Shu. With Yuan Shu's support, the other party was leading troops to the Xuzhou border with Ji Ling at the same time.

When Lu Bu crossed the Xuzhou border, Ji Ling had already led the army to successfully capture the small border town of Xuzhou.

As for Ji Ling's choice to stop for a while after capturing the border town, Lu Bu didn't care at all.

He crossed the town and headed straight for Xiapi City.

With this effort, not long after entering Xuzhou, when they were reaching the wilderness, the Xiliang Army cavalry in front quickly turned back after exploring their horses.

"Your Majesty, we found the Xuzhou army coming towards the border from the front!"

Tan Ma came to report, and Lu Bu was slightly surprised by the sudden news.

Something's wrong!

He had just entered Xuzhou, and it was impossible for the Xuzhou defenders to discover him so quickly.

Coming towards you?

Lu Bu was a little strange, but in this situation, Lu Bu didn't panic at all.

After ordering the Xiliang soldiers to ambush them on the spot, Lu Bu waited patiently for the Xuzhou defenders.

Just after noon, Lu Bu was on the hillside and saw the mighty Xuzhou garrison coming in the distance.

Lu Bu could tell with just one glance.

The Xuzhou defenders who had just come towards him did not have too strict rules during their march, and they looked a bit like a miscellaneous army.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bu seized the opportunity to advance almost instantly.

"Left and right, listen to my orders. When the army in front reaches a hundred feet, the army will charge with me!"

Lu Bu was leading Xiliang cavalry, while most of the Xuzhou soldiers in front of him were on foot!

When he was marching, he didn't even let out many exploring horses.

Naturally, Lu Bu would not let go of such an opportunity.

In a short while, when Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan arrived a hundred feet away from the Xiliang army, Lu Bu gave a killing cry, and the Xiliang cavalry in the entire mountain and forest responded with their ears pierced.

The wind driven by the iron cavalry was strong, and the sound of horse hooves was like a rushing river.

When they woke up in the blink of an eye, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan were already unable to react quickly.

At this moment, the two of them did not expect that a group of ambushes would appear in Xuzhou.

Because of this, Xiahou Dun didn't even send out many exploring horses.

In fact, the two of them never thought that other soldiers and horses would appear in Xuzhou.

The presence of soldiers and horses has proved that the entire Xuzhou border has been lost.

"Brother, there is an ambush!"

The sudden appearance of soldiers and horses made Xia Houyuan a little anxious!

He never thought that before the two of them attacked Yuan Shu, the opponent had already sent troops to attack Xuzhou!

In fact, when Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou, he defeated Yuan Shu's attacks several times, so that throughout Xuzhou for more than a year, Yuan Shu rarely moved!

Even if Yuan Shu mobilizes his army, it is just a show outside the Xuzhou border!

The two of them never thought that a large army would invade Xuzhou at this time.

"Wonderful talent, please don't panic, soldiers, stay in formation!"

Run!

Where to run?

Behind both Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Dun are endless plains, and what appears not far in front of them is obviously the cavalry!

If we run now, the army will not be able to escape very far, and it will even be consumed by the cavalry.

The only option now is to form an array to resist!

It’s just that Xiahou Dun thinks of some things too simply!

Among the soldiers he has summoned now, six thousand are new soldiers, and these soldiers who have never been on the battlefield have no discipline at all.

The cavalry came in force from a distance, and these recruits were already heartbroken.

At the first moment, most people dropped their spears and started running away.

As these new soldiers began to disperse spontaneously, the original Xuzhou garrison and Xiahou Dun's troops also became panicked.

The army is in chaos.

At that time, Xiahou Dun could no longer control himself.

"Lu Bu, that's Lu Bu!"

When Xia Hou Dunzheng shouted to his soldiers to calm down, Xia Hou Yuan beside him couldn't help but lost his voice.

And Lu Bu's name also entered Xiahou Dun's ears.

"Lu Bu?"

Almost instinctively, Xiahou Dun raised his eyes and looked into the distance. In the distance of his field of vision, among the iron cavalry, a figure was extremely conspicuous.

The tall red horse is wearing a colorful robe of flowers, and the three-pronged purple gold crown on top of its head is fluttering in the wind.
