Chapter 296

And pretended to be mobilizing troops from Nanjun, Jiangxia, and other places, preparing to have a big battle with Lord Yuan Shu.

Yeah! It's not pretending, he did mobilize troops from Nanjun, Jiangxia Commandery, Changsha, and other places to Nanyang quickly.

In fact, as early as 2 days ago, he had already ordered the troops from these places to rush to Nanyang through carrier pigeons.

By the time Su Xuan arrived at Xinye, the Xianzhen Camp of Jiangxia, the Jiangxia Navy, the Qinglong Camp of Changsha, the Xiangyang Navy of Nanjun, and the Xiaoji Camp of Deng County had all mobilized troops to arrive at the Xinye front line.

But secretly, he also ordered Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci in Mount Mount Tongbai to prepare for war, waiting for Lord Yuan Shu to pass Ye County and enter the Nanyang territory.

Taishi Ci and Zhang Liao immediately led the Qilin Army and the Zhuque Army to kill out from Mount Mount Tongbai, occupy Ye County, Luyang, and other places, and block Lord Yuan Shu's retreat to the northeast.

At the same time, Gao Shun led the Xianzhen Camp to cooperate with the Jiangxia Navy to land and enter Fuyang, blocking the retreat to the southeast.

Giving Lord Yuan Shu a "shut the door and beat the dog" situation.

Half a day after Su Xuan arrived at Xinye, he received a message from the secret guard's golden eagle, saying that Lord Yuan Shu had led his army through Ye County and entered Nanyang.

And was rushing toward Wancheng.

"Pass my order immediately, let Zhang Liao occupy Luyang, Taishi Ci occupy Ye County, and block the northeast exit;"

"In addition, we will immediately prepare the army and set off to Wancheng to intercept and kill Lord Yuan Shu, not giving him a chance to enter Wancheng."

"Among them, Lord Yuan Shu must be left alive, whether we can make a big profit depends on this time."

Su Xuan ordered immediately.

He didn't even plan to stage another scene of attacking Wancheng, preparing to intercept and kill Lord Yuan Shu on the way and capture him alive.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang He, Wen Pin, and others all took the order.

And immediately started to act.

In less than an hour, the whole army set off and rushed to Bowang Slope at full speed.

It took most of the day to successfully arrive at Bowang Slope.

Then, they ambushed on both sides of Bowang Slope.

"Phew! Finally caught up! Fortunately, Lord Yuan Shu's marching speed has always been slow! Otherwise, it might really have been impossible to catch up!"

Xu Chu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and sighed in a low voice.

On this journey, rushing and hurrying, constantly communicating through the secret guards to know the real-time dynamics of Lord Yuan Shu's army, made him realize that catching up this time was a bit of luck.

This guy Lord Yuan Shu really couldn't endure hardship, he had to stop and rest after walking for a while, unwilling to march quickly, and unwilling to rush through the night.

It helped a lot.

"Indeed!"

Zhao Yun on the side also nodded: "How can such a person not be defeated?"

"Heh! Then let us grant him a defeat! Give him a lesson, I hope he can learn from this lesson next time!"

Su Xuan said lightly.

"I don't think it's possible!"

Xu Chu shook his head straightforwardly: "This is not the first time he has fought against us. Last time we captured tens of thousands of his troops and his generals, and that didn't make him alert. It will probably be the same in the future!"

He felt that a person like Lord Yuan Shu was just stupid and would not learn from lessons at all.

Su Xuan heard this, his expression became slightly solemn, and he warned Xu Chu: "Zhongkang! Never underestimate the enemy, or be arrogant! You must know that this itself is also a very arrogant behavior;"

"Anyone can have a change of mentality when encountering major setbacks. In the future, you cannot underestimate him just because of these two things, and completely speculate on the other party's intentions based on the inherent impression in your own mind. Otherwise, the day of your defeat is not far away, understand?"

Ignorance is not an obstacle to survival, arrogance is.

"Always maintain a humble and inquisitive heart, and constantly improve yourself, in order to become stronger."

Su Xuan said meaningfully.

"Yes!"

Xu Chu's expression became stern, and he hurriedly guaranteed: "This subordinate was wrong, and will never commit it again in the future!"

"Hmm! As long as you have a count in your heart!"

Su Xuan was very satisfied with Xu Chu's attitude.

Xu Chu's brain might not be as flexible and smart as Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, but he also had his own advantages, which was that he listened to advice and could learn from lessons.

It was basically hard for him to make the same low-level mistakes.

This was already very rare.

Half an hour later,

"Thump, thump, thump!!!"

A mixed sound of footsteps and hoofbeats came from the east.

Soon, Su Xuan and the others saw a troop of soldiers rushing toward this side slowly through telescopes.

Su Xuan and the others lurked motionless, watching the vanguard of this troop pass by, but did not move.

It wasn't until they saw Lord Yuan Shu's carriage appear and come near that Su Xuan roared: "Kill! Capture Lord Yuan Shu alive!!!"

"Kill!!!"

The next moment, a large number of soldiers rushed out from the woods and hills on both sides toward the road in the middle.

These troops directly formed several military formations, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun and others, condensed several terrifying military souls with a speed of tens of meters high, dancing tens of meters long blood-energy weapons to slash at the enemy.

Instantly splitting the enemy into several segments.

"Bad! Ambush!!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

"Protect the Lord!!"

From the moment they heard Su Xuan's roar, Lord Yuan Shu's army and Lord Yuan Shu himself had their faces changed drastically.

Lord Yuan Shu hurriedly ordered the army to counterattack, and at the same time, attempted to let the soldiers around him escort him out of the encirclement.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

From Su Xuan's order to rush out to launching the military soul attack, it was only a few breaths of time.

By the time Lord Yuan Shu wanted to break out, he had already been surrounded by Su Xuan's army.

The troops on both sides wanted to rescue, but were blocked by Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Wen Pin, and others leading the army.

In addition, on the side of the vanguard that Lord Yuan Shu had passed, they also encountered the obstruction of Zhang He and the Xiaoji Camp, unable to advance an inch.

Even wanting to return to rescue Lord Yuan Shu was difficult to achieve.

They could only struggle to support under the attack of Zhang He and the Xiaoji Camp.

The army formation was gradually split into pieces under the constant chiseling of the Xiaoji Camp, and the morale began to plummet.

At the same time, on the side of Lord Yuan Shu's rear army,

They also encountered the fierce attack of the 30, 00-strong army led by Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci, unable to attend to both head and tail.

The scene returned to Lord Yuan Shu's side.

After only a dozen breaths of attack, Su Xuan personally led the army to clear the troops around Lord Yuan Shu.

Only then did Su Xuan point at Lord Yuan Shu, who was scared pale in the carriage opposite, with the Fangtian Halberd in his hand, and showed a brilliant smile: "Brother Gonglu! Long time no see, how have you been? You have kept me waiting!"

"Su Xuan, you!"

Lord Yuan Shu saw Su Xuan's appearance, was so angry that his teeth itched, pointed at Su Xuan, and didn't know what to say for a while.

This bitch actually predicted his prediction and came to block him in advance!

He had completely fallen this time.

"Is my path to hegemony going to end here before it even begins?"

Lord Yuan Shu was very unwilling, but what could he do if he was unwilling?

Could Su Xuan let him go?

However, at this time, Su Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Gonglu! This time, I actually didn't plan to hurt your life. In fact, as long as you are willing to pay enough ransom, it's not impossible for me to let you and even your subordinates go;"

"So, can you let these subordinates of yours surrender first?"

"Otherwise, it would be a pity if they all died. This would greatly weaken your future strength, Brother Gonglu!"

It was mainly because he wanted to capture more, so he could ask for more ransom later, right?

As for directly collecting and reorganizing these troops?

To be honest, Su Xuan still looked down on them.

These Lord Yuan Shu's troops had been with him for a few years and had already developed bad habits.
