Chapter 446

Su Xuan and the others pursued all the way to Hangu Pass before stopping.

"I thought I would encounter an ambush along the way, but I didn't expect it wouldn't appear at all! What a pity!"

Su Xuan looked up at Hangu Pass in the distance and said with regret.

"Indeed!"

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were also full of regret.

Huang Zhong then said: "I guess they discovered the situation of our army, and after comprehensive consideration, chose to withdraw;"

"Along the way, didn't we see many traces of the iron cavalry army marching urgently?"

"The Anwei also sent intelligence saying that Lu Bu and Xu Rong had just withdrawn to Hangu Pass not long ago."

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded knowingly, then said: "Go! Go forward and see Brother Fengxian!"

"After this parting, I guess it will be several years before we see each other again!"

Saying this, Su Xuan rode his horse to a distance of one arrow shot from Hangu Pass, used Gang Qi to amplify his voice, and shouted at the pass: "Brother Fengxian! Su Xuan is here! Why not come and have a chat!"

"Hmm?"

These words were immediately heard by Lu Bu in the pass. He immediately said to Xu Rong on the side: "I'll go see an old friend! Xu Rong, do you want to come together?"

"General Su Xuan?"

Xu Rong frowned slightly: "I didn't expect General Lu to know him and be familiar with him! It just so happens that I also admire General Su's prestige, so it's good to go and see him together!"

Immediately, Xu Rong followed Lu Bu and walked toward the city pass.

Admiring Su Xuan might be a little bit!

But more than that, he was actually a bit worried about Lu Bu.

Lu Bu himself said he was familiar with Su Xuan. Who knows if he would betray Grand Tutor Dong, surrender to that Su Xuan, and open the gates of Hangu Pass?

This is not impossible. After all, Lu Bu has a record of betrayal.

That Ding Yuan died at the hands of Lu Bu.

Although, because of Su Xuan's intervention, Lu Bu didn't bear the infamy of killing his father, the name of betraying and killing his lord still fell on him, and he couldn't shake it off.

Fortunately, Lu Bu himself didn't care much about this, let alone regret it.

Because his relationship with Ding Yuan was very average, and because Ding Yuan repeatedly wanted to suppress him and seize the military power in his hands, he had long accumulated resentment toward Ding Yuan.

Killing that old boy, in Lu Bu's view, was doing him a favor.

Besides, isn't this kind of thing very common in the eyes of the Hu Ren?

Lu Bu felt that these people in the Central Plains were too pretentious.

If you have hatred and resentment, just kill them, what's the matter?

Everyone who blocks his path forward, as long as they don't have a good relationship with him, he can kill.

Soon, the two arrived at the city pass and saw Su Xuan and Zhao Yun from afar.

"Haha! Brother Fengxian, you finally came out! I thought you didn't want to see me!"

Su Xuan saw Lu Bu and immediately raised his hand to greet him with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Bu laughed loudly: "How is that possible? You and I are close friends. You invited me, how could I not come to see you?"

"However, Boyuan, you have ruined me and ruined many of the Grand Tutor's schemes this time!"

"Originally, we were prepared to ambush the coalition's pursuers!"

"But I didn't expect it to be you!"

"In the end, we could only withdraw!"

"But let's say it first, I'm not afraid of you! It's mainly because you don't talk about martial virtue, actually leading 10,000-plus iron cavalry, and you can form a complete military formation. This is 10,000-plus people, simply not talking about martial virtue! How did you do it?"

You know, he relied on Su Xuan's help, and so far he can only condense a military formation of 3,000 people at most.

This is already the limit.

Don't even think about one more.

Don't say it's because Su Xuan has Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and the others helping.

A military formation of 10,000 people as one can only be completed by one person.

Others might be able to help a little, but the decisive role must be Su Xuan.

Although he was a wild path at first, after so many years, relying on his understanding and talent in this area, he is very clear about many things.

In addition, with this laugh and talk, the accumulated resentment in his heart over these years and this period of time dissipated a lot.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly: "In war, how can one talk about martial virtue? Who doesn't hope their martial virtue is more abundant?"

"Moreover, I took a fancy to these people, I had to go out!"

"Besides, most of those warlords might not necessarily pursue. Even if I didn't come, you wouldn't have ambushed any big fish."

Hmm! Cao Boss will definitely come.

But now that he has done this, whether Cao Cao will continue to pursue is uncertain.

Su Xuan doesn't care about this, just reducing a wave of Cao Cao's consumption, making it convenient for Cao Cao to contend with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu later, so he won't be so miserable in the early stage.

Anyway, he doesn't care about this bit of Cao Cao's strengthening.

No matter how strong he is, he won't be stronger than him.

"You kid!"

Lu Bu heard Su Xuan's shameless words and was also happy.

Next, the two chatted for more than ten minutes across a hundred meters, and Su Xuan said goodbye to Lu Bu, led the army to turn back, gathered the commoners left behind along the way, and led them eastward.

"After this parting, I don't know when we will see each other again! Sigh!"

Lu Bu looked at the backs of Su Xuan and the others as they went away and couldn't help but sigh.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

Xu Rong on the side saw this and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect General Lu and General Su Xuan to have such deep friendship, it's too rare!"

"It's a blessing in three lifetimes to have a close friend in life. General Lu is enviable!"

He heard the entire conversation between Su Xuan and Lu Bu, and from the conversation, he could tell that the friendship between them was indeed very pure, without mixing other things.

He had never had such a friendship, so he was naturally envious.

"Haha!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh: "That's right! I have always felt that being able to make a close friend like Boyuan is the luckiest thing in my life!"

"This kind of thing can't be envied, it depends entirely on luck! I wish I could have a few more such close friends! Haha!"

"You!"

Xu Rong was speechless: "A few more? Too greedy, be content with having one!"

"Haha!"

Su Xuan's side, gathering and appeasing the commoners along the way, providing food to gather and appease the hearts of the people.

It took more than a day to finally meet up with Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and the others.

Of course, midway, Su Xuan sent cavalry to transport some Qian Liang over.

Fortunately, during the pursuit, they intercepted tens of thousands of shi of Qian Liang, otherwise, he really couldn't afford to raise these commoners.

"Dian Wei, Hansheng! Next, continue to lead the Xuanjia Army, Xuanwu Battalion, and the New Recruit Battalion soldiers to escort these commoners to Yique Pass in Southern Jingzhou!"

"I notified Zhicai and Huang Xu in Xinye and even Jiangling a few days ago, and they have already dispatched troops to Liangxian and Yangrenju to meet us;"

"You must successfully send these hundreds of thousands of commoners back to Southern Jingzhou safely, understand?"
