Pang Tong’s Stratege tohas Zhang Xiu’s respect as a good advisor couldXiu has experienced this before Jia Xu was one such person Jia Xu had helped hiainst Cao Cao who had Guo Jia, one of the top four strategists in the Three Kingdo Xiu a deep impression was his time at Jianan when Cao Cao attacked and surrounded hi Cao Cao to retreat Zhang Xiu chased Cao Cao while Liu Biao cut off Cao Cao’s escape route Cao Cao defeated the Xiu personally led his troops to chase At that tied him and said that heXiu did not listen and was defeated by Cao Cao After that, Jia Xu encouraged hi Xiu replied reluctantly “I did not listen to you earlier and was defeated Now that I am defeated, why must I continue the pursuit?” Jia Xu then said, “The situation has changed If you pursue, you will profit” Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu’s proposal and gathered the troops to pursue again This ti Xiu to really respect strategists and advisors

Zhang Xiu was very good to Jia Xu in Wancheng However, he was sos just like how Lu Bu was last tirily but Jia Xu would not say anything if his advice was not taken

After the death of Cao Cao’s son, Jia Xu was cherished like gold Jia Xu also would not say anything unless asked Even if so Xiu, Jia Xu would not say anything to protect hi Xiu Jia Xu noticed this but said nothing

Zhang Xiu ca Jia Xu Now, he ist that is not any inferior to Jia Xu Wancheng was located in Jingzhou and the boss of Jingzhou is Liu Biao Zhang Xiu would naturally be concerned about it, and also about Pang Tong’s reputation

“General Yang Wu is too polite” The word teacher is a respectful word Liu Bei could call hi would be able to accept it as that one was his own Lord On the other hand, Pang Tong had to reciprocate the politeness as Zhang Xiu was an outsider

“Milord General Yang Wu Coe tables in the hall He then took out a roll of sheepskin This was a detailed zhou that also showed theXiu looked at several spots nearby Wancheng and then glanced at Pang Tong Does he already have a plan to s up Yangzhou? Zhang Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Liu Bei Zhang Xiu did not co those troubled tie if it was to becoh toa e population

Zhang Xiu had wanted to find a boss and work for hi Cavalry, his boss would also be happy That is why Zhang Xiu has a lot of assets However, things have changed He had offended Cao Cao by killing his son Even if Cao Cao disregard past grudges, Zhang XIu would still be worried On the other hand, his current boss Liu Biao was not so Xiu’s current boss, Zhang Xiu was already thinking about leaving Only a fool would join a company that was about to collapse Besides that, Yuan Shao was fighting Cao Cao If he were to join Yuan Shao and then Yuan Shao was defeated, the first one to suffer would be hi ones were Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Lu Bu

Zhang Xiu was currently fighting Lu Bu so Lu Bu was out

Sun Ce was a good choice as he would be happy for the cavalry However, Wancheng is too far away fro Liu Biao would i

The only re one was Liu Bei If Liu Bei only has a s Xiu would not be interested After all, the place was too sth would only be about the sa Xiu join hizhou, they would no longer be szhou Ar Cavalry, they stand a chance in capturing the world This o to Shouchun fro, they would need to pass Hefei If not, they would need to detour around the Lujiang County”

“After passing by Hefei, there would be a forest leading towards Shouchun This is a roup to take it All we need to do is set up an ae of the forest and wait for the Wolf Cavalry to arrive” Pang Tong strategized It was not possible for theainst the Wolf Cavalry This would only lead to Liu Bei’s defeat All they could do was to set up ambushes and exhaust their ene Xiu was puzzled If it was setting up ambushes, his cavalry would not be able to hide the warhorses in the forest They could only do it with Liu Bei’s infantries So ould they tell hie of this forest is a place called Baoqiu” Baoqiu was a small hill As it looked a bit like a tower, its called Baoqiu “We need you to wait behind Baoqiu with your Xiliang Cavalry When we give the signal, go to the road and cut off their ways of escaping” Pang Tong said that the Liu Bei’s Army would be able to a them to stay After all, the heavy cavalry would be able to run away However, with the Xiliang Cavalry behind theed to escape, the Xiliang Cavalry would be able to pursue

“Haha Teacher Let us do it like this” Zhang Xiu was beco more and ood and the soldiers were talented He was only short of Shouchun and Lujiang before he obtains half of Yangzhou It was a boss with great potential

The Wolf Cavalry had indeed set off fro River It took them more than three days to reach Hefei They rode to Shouchun without stopping Lu Bu even personally led the group as he was looking for his daughter He kne dangerous Yangzhou was Liu Mang was currently at Yuzhou with the h there were over fifty thousand troops in the army, they were only third-rate troops Some of them do not even have decent weapons After all, even the rich and wealthy Liu Biao would not be able to equip fifty thousand troops properly These soldiers were recruited by Liu Mang to serve as reserves or cannon fodders

They have also lost twenty thousand of these troops at Hefei Only thirty thousand re while the re ten thousand were stationed at Shouchun Now, Shouchun is in a crisis Liu Bei had over ten thousand troops and Zhang Xiu had twenty thousand cavalry Shouchun would soon becohter rode to Shouchun to find Liu Mang This turned everything into a hter on the battlefield Although Lu Liqing was strong, if she was taken prisoner, Shouchun would no longer be able to be defended Liu Bei would be able to use her as a threat Even if Shouchun could hold out, it would still fall She is also Liu Mang’s wife Lu Bu fully expects Lu Qiling to be captured by now He believes the only way to save his daughter would be on the battlefield

And so, Lu Bu rushed quickly They whipped their horses to ride faster than Lu Liqing A horse’s life was like the life of their brother as they were cavalry However, at that point in tiard for their brother

They soon left Hefei behind and reached the forest At the edge of the forest was theEn in the Han Dynasty Eions but also had a strong control of Huainan In case there was a revolt, his iuards would be able to act quickly This hy the roads ell maintained Yuan Shu also y but to stroll around conveniently

“The forest, the roads, and Baoqiu!” These were all things Lu Bu knew Lu Bu furrowed his eyes Even when teaching Liu Mang about military matters, they joked about the possibility of an ambush at that location After all, these were all coe When Lu Bu enters a forest, he would subconsciously be on guard However, he was not able to waste ti the battlefield every time he delays Lu Bu could not afford to waste tie!” Since it was impossible to explore the area, he could only rush over Even if there were ae from the Wolf Cavalry This is also a way to protect themselves from ambushes

“Yes!” The Wolf Cavalry passed the order quickly and sprinted quickly

The Wolf Cavalry followed the long main road into the forest
