In the end, Zhao Yun finally made a bold guess, that is, the escape route of these two people is probably not the direction where Sun Quan is.

In this case, it is self-evident that Sun Quan's position is in the west.

Zhao Yun had a little understanding of the geography of this place. If you go further west, you will be Dangyang County. From there, you can go south along the Zhangshui River to Jiangling.

Therefore, Zhao Yun thought for a while, and finally decided to take a risk, gave up pursuing Huang Gai, and turned to pursue westward.

But Zhou Yu arranged for Huang Gai, Xu Sheng, and Chen Wu to set up an ambush in the valley, and after delaying Lu Bu, he was still worried.

Worried about Lu Bu's bravery, he broke through the defense line and rushed to kill himself by surprise.

Therefore, he took care to place a lot of secret sentries along the way, and if there was any feng shui movement, he would report it immediately.

When it was heard that Huang Gai and Xu Sheng split into two groups and fled east and south respectively, Lu Bu followed Xu Sheng to the south.

Only then did Zhou Yu feel a little relieved, but not long after, another scout came to report.

Yan also came from the north with a soldier and horse, and they came straight to this side. The general's flag had the word "Zhao" written on it, and his men were all white-clothed and white-horse, which looked extraordinary.

When Zhou Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"My lord, the person who comes here must be the white horse righteousness brought by Zhao Yun. This cavalry is extraordinary in strength, and it will never lose to Lu Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry. We have to guard against it!"

Sun Quan nodded immediately: "Zhao Yun's name, I've heard of it before, Gong Jin thinks, how should we retreat from the enemy now?"

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain, and said slowly: "Look, my lord, the terrain here seems to be flat and safe.

However, there are several hillsides that undulate and overlap. The enemy troops will not expect danger here when they first arrive here, and they must take it lightly.

But we just did the opposite, and placed a few ambushes on the back of the surrounding hillsides.

It's okay if the enemy army is not there, as long as they step here, the army will suddenly rush out from all sides, and they will definitely kill the opponent by surprise.

When the time comes, there will be enemy troops everywhere, so Zhao Yun will have no time to escape, so how can he care about chasing the lord? "

"This plan is brilliant! But..."

Sun Quan had been beaten a lot by the enemy during this time, so he was inevitably hesitant and worried.

So, under Zhou Yu's suspicious gaze, he said what he wanted in his heart.

"Although this plan is good, I'm afraid that Zhao Yun is not an ordinary person, if he is still broken by him.

The army is besieging Zhao Yun, isn't the rear empty?With Zhao Yun's strength, how can anyone stop him? "

Zhou Yu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

In fact, although Sun Quan said it tactfully, he just thought that this strategy was not safe enough, and worried that Zhao Yun would threaten his own safety.

That being the case, Zhou Yu had no choice but to continue thinking.

At this moment, the army finally came to the edge of a wide river.

Zhou Yu's eyes finally lit up, and he had an idea in his mind.

He pointed to the river in front of him and said: "Take the initiative, this is Zhangshui, and then go south, and you will arrive at Dangyang County.

We can ambush another group of men and horses to block the bridge. If our army defeats Zhao Yun, we can just take the remaining soldiers and horses across the river.

If Zhao Yun kills him, he can also break the bridge and defend against the water. Then Zhao Yun is all cavalry, how can he cross the river easily?

When the time comes to face the chasing soldiers and fight with their backs, there will be heavy casualties!

This is double insurance, so even if Zhao Yun came to the world, what can he do to our army? "

Hearing Zhou Yu's strategy, Sun Quan finally felt relieved this time.

He nodded and said: "This plan is linked together, so I don't have to worry about it!"

With that said, Sun Quan finally crossed the river and rushed to Dangyang County. After Zhou Yu arranged the guards in various places, he stayed here to continue supervising the battle.

After Zhao Yun made his decision, he stopped hesitating and chased westward.

At the beginning of the journey, he met no one along the way, and did not find any clues, which almost made Zhao Yun think that he was chasing in the wrong direction.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun's patience was better than Lu Bu's, so he didn't make a decision immediately, but continued to move forward for more than ten miles.

This time, he finally saw the traces left by some large troops passing by.

Zhao Yun's uneasy heart finally eased.

"Hmph! Originally, if you continued to pretend for a while, the general might really have made a wrong decision.

I can only blame you for not doing the full set of the show, and finally showing your feet. "

Now that the existence of the main force of the enemy army was confirmed, Zhao Yun finally stopped hesitating and quickly followed the direction of the traces.

Besides, Lu Bu, since he had determined his direction, he naturally pursued him all the way to the end.

Seeing Lu Bu chasing after him, Xu Sheng didn't dare to take anything with him. He gritted his teeth and ran towards the predetermined direction.

This time Xu Sheng was going to Jingcheng, a fortress located in the lower reaches of the Han River. The Han River was guarded here, and there was another general Sun Yu guarding it. Even if Lu Bu came, it would not be beneficial.

It's just that although he had a good idea, he underestimated Lu Bu's pursuit speed.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry were all brave and good at fighting, and all the horses on their crotches were good horses from outside the Great Wall, and their footsteps were much faster than Xu Sheng's mounts.

Therefore, when Xu Sheng ran for less than fifty miles, Lu Bu's army was getting closer and closer, and he seemed to be catching up.
