My Father in Law is Lu Bu - Chapter 510

The earth shook from the Xiliang Cavalry’s stampede.

At Nanyang, the person most concerned about the Xiliang Cavalry was Zhao Yun. Liu Mang had ordered Zhao Yun to ensure that the Xiliang Cavalry was kept busy and exhausted. Harming the Xiliang Cavalry was not a necessity.

“General. The Xiliang Cavalry have left Wancheng!” One soldier reported.

“I see.”

“General. They seem to be heading towards Yuzhou. Should we follow them?” Another soldier asked. The White Horses’ mission was to harass the Liu Bei’s Army but the Liu Bei’s Army kept hiding inside their city like a tortoise. As a result, the White Horses could not do anything since they was also unable to siege a city.

When the Xiliang Cavalry had left the city, the White Horses were happy as they had learned how to pester their enemies. Besides that, the Qiang people also liked keeping their treasures on their horses so they would have additional profit if they were to kill the Xiliang Cavalry.

“No need!” Zhao Yun rejected their suggestion much to the confusion of the soldiers. This was such a rare chance to mess with the enemy and train the troops.

“Is it misdirection?” Zhao Yun felt like laughing. He himself would not know what the Xiliang Cavalry was trying to do if it were not for the information he received.

While the Xiliang Cavalry went towards Yuzhou, intelligence said that Liu Bei was planning to attack Fancheng. In other words, the Xiliang Cavalry was just a decoy.

“We will withdraw.” Since Liu Bei already did so much, Zhao Yun should also show some face. “Where is Zhao Yi?”

“This subordinate is here!” Zhao Yi, a 1000-man commander replied.

“Zhao Yi. You are to take the White Horses and withdraw to Xinye!”

“Huh?” Zhao Yi could not understand. Not only are they not going to chase after the Xiliang Cavalry. They are even going to withdraw.

Zhao Yun did this because of Liu Mang’s orders. The White Horses were ordered to regroup at Xinye while waiting for reinforcements.

“General. What about you?” Zhao Yi asked.

“When you arrive at Xinye, there would be someone in charge of commanding the White Horses. As for me, I have other tasks to accomplish!” Zhao Yun smiled indifferently. “A hundred men will ride with me!”

“Yes!” Zhao Yi did not ask any more questions and the White Horses split into two groups. Zhao Yi led one group to Xinye while Zhao Yun took a hundred men with him towards Fancheng.

“That traitor Liu Mang’s White Horses did not pursue?” Liu Bei felt suspicious since the White Horses did not go after the Xiliang Cavalry like he expected. “Could it be because they ran out of provisions?”

Regardless, Liu Bei himself had to dispatch his men to Fancheng. It would be best if he could launch a surprise attack. Otherwise, he would only have one path left for survival.

“Xiliang Cavalry, move out!” Liu Bei ordered with his sword raised. A large amount of Xiliang Cavalry troops started to move.
