Chapter 194: Lian Battles Won
The scouts sent returned to the camp in the second watch and reported to LΓΌ Buyu: "Qi Wenhou, the small army of Detective Niu Fu is thirty miles away. β
A military Sima who was discussing in the tent heard that Niu Fu's camp was so close, so he hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, since Niu Fu's camp is thirty miles away, we might as well raise troops overnight to take him by surprise." β
Hearing Jun Sima say this, Lu Bu said coldly: "What kind of hero is stealing the camp and robbing the village, wait for me to line up tomorrow and defeat Niu Fu in a dignified manner, so that he can lose convincingly." β
Seeing that Lu Bu was so arrogant, Jun Sima didn't want to say anything, but sighed secretly in his heart, and opened Lu Bu's big tent in his farewell.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu's army rose up and advanced towards the location of the Niufu camp. Niu Fu was rewarded by exploring the horse, and hurriedly led his troops out of the village to meet the enemy.
After the two armies finished arraying, Niu Fu rode his horse to Lu Bu's army, pointed at Lu Bu with the weapon in his hand and said loudly: "Lu Bu'er, my father-in-law treats you like his own child, who would have thought that you would collude with outsiders for a woman and kill my father-in-law's life." β
After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and got Diao Chan, after the initial excitement, he also thought about the ins and outs of this matter repeatedly, and found that he seemed to have fallen into Wang Yun's trap. But at this moment, Dong Zhuo is dead, and there is a beauty in his arms, it is too late to regret it, he can only make a mistake by making a mistake.
Niu Fu's words just touched his heart, he was afraid that the other party would say something more secret, so he hurriedly roared, brandished Fang Tian's halberd and rushed over.
Lu Bu's horse was fast, and in just a few breaths, he rushed to the front of Niu Fu. Niu Fu was scolding happily, and suddenly saw Lu Bu rushing in front of him, and hurriedly picked up his weapon to parry. Seeing Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd slashing down, he hurriedly held the weapon with both hands and slammed it up, trying to swing the painting halberd away.
But where is his strength as great as Lu Bu, as soon as the two weapons collided, and at the same time as there was an earth-shattering sound of gold and iron, Niu Fu's tiger mouth was shattered. He shouted, "That's amazing! Taking advantage of Lu Bu's efforts to recover his weapon, he turned his horse and fled.
Lu Bu relied on his horse and wanted to rush up to capture Niu Fu alive. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by a group of soldiers who surrounded him, Hu Chi'er hid behind the crowd and shouted loudly: "Stop him, stop him quickly!" Those who can kill Lu Bu will be crowned as the Marquis of Lielie, and the reward will be ten thousand gold! β
The besieging of Lu Bu was just a group of ordinary soldiers, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward, I heard that as long as you kill Lu Bu, you can be crowned a marquis, and you will get a heavy reward, and suddenly they all seem to have been beaten with chicken blood, waving the weapons in their hands, and rushing towards Lu Bu with a shout. But in front of Lu Bu, who championed the three armies, their actions were just moths to the fire. In less time, nearly 100 soldiers were lying on the sides of the red rabbit horse.
Lu Bu looked up and looked at Niu Fu again, he had already fled into the camp. And the soldiers and horses lined up outside the camp also retreated to the camp one after another. Lu Bu originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the village to kill, but he didn't think that he was stopped by the archers behind the wooden fence with random arrows, and he didn't rush over several times, and he was almost hit by an arrow.
Lu Bu called for war outside the village, but the battle card was hung high in the village, and no one came out of the camp to compete with him. From morning to noon, Lu Bu was tired, and he didn't see anyone coming out of the village, so he turned his horse and went back to his camp.
That night, in Niu Fu's barracks.
Niu Fu called his confidant Hu Chi'er over and said: "Lu Bu is brave and invincible; It is better to hide it from Li Dao and the other four people, hide the gold beads, and abandon the army with three or five people. β
"What the general said is very true." Although the camp was a complete victory last night, Hu Chi'er knew very well in his heart that Niu Fu's strength was really far behind Lu Bu, and if he fought with real swords and guns, his life would be lost sooner or later. At this moment, since Niu Fu took the initiative to abandon the army and flee, he naturally couldn't ask for it: "I'll go back and pack my bags, and when it gets dark, I'll follow the general to leave here." β
At the time of the third watch, Niu Fu took Hu Chi'er and two cronies to the village gate with fine softness. The soldiers guarding the gate saw that Niu Fu was still leaving the camp so late, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "It's so late, where is the general going?" β
Niu Fu naturally did not tell his subordinates that he planned to run away, but pretended to be serious and said: "General Ben should rush to General Li's camp immediately, discuss important matters with him, and open the gate of the village as soon as possible." β
When the soldiers heard Niu Fu say this, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the gate of the village, and then stood aside to send Niu Fu and the others away from the camp.
After leaving the camp, Hu Chi'er asked Niu Fu: "General, I don't know where we are going next?" β
The defeat for several days has made Niu Fu a frightened bird, and he feels that he can't deal with Lu Bu, so Li Dao and Guo Yan are not much better. Since this is the case, Liangzhou will definitely not be able to go back, he thought for a while, and then said: "I think we should go to Yuan Shu." The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, Wang Yun will not be embarrassed by him, and we can sit back and relax when we get there. β
When Hu Chi'er followed Niu Fu out of the camp, he thought that the other party would take him back to Liangzhou, but who knew that at this moment, he actually told himself that he was going to join Yuan Shu, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
The group walked for more than half an hour and came to a river. Seeing that there was no bridge on the river and that there was not even a boat by the river, Niu Fu instructed one of his soldiers: "Look along the river to see if there are any boats." β
Without waiting for the soldier to leave, Hu Chi'er suddenly shouted: "General, look, who is there?" β
"Who is here?" Niu Fu instinctively turned around and looked in the direction Hu Chi'er was pointing, but saw nothing. Just as he wanted to ask Hu Chi'er if he was wrong, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back, he turned his head to look at Hu Chi'er, but saw that the other party was holding a short knife that was still dripping blood, and said coldly: "General, you are going to vote for Yuan Shu, please forgive the little one for not being able to accompany him, and the little one thinks it is better to go back to Liangzhou." β
Niu Fu pointed his finger at Hu Chi'er, wanting to scold the other party angrily, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, and the strength of his whole body was flowing quickly with the blood gushing out of the wound on his lower back. In the end, he didn't say anything, and he fell off the horse. Seeing Niu Fu fall off the horse, Hu Chi'er immediately turned over and dismounted, reached out to probe the other party's snort, and made sure that the other party was dead, so he waved his knife and cut off his head.
The two personal soldiers next to him killed Niu Fu with Hu Chi'er's sudden move, and they were all frightened, and they wanted to escape but didn't dare to escape, so they could only stand aside in a daze.
Hu Chi'er got on the horse with Niu Fu's head, and asked at the two pro-soldiers: "I want to go to Wenhou, what are you going to do?" He thought to himself that if these two soldiers didn't follow him, he would definitely kill them, and he would never let others know that he had killed Niu Fu.
The two pro-soldiers were also smart people, and knew that if they went against Hu Chi'er's wishes, they were likely to lose their lives, so they hurriedly replied: "But it's up to Captain Hu to decide." β
The three of them rode their horses to the outside of Lu Bu's camp. Still far away, I heard someone shouting: "The military camp is heavy, and idle people must not break in, otherwise they will immediately release arrows." β
Hu Chi'er stopped an arrow away from the camp and shouted in the direction of the village gate: "Hey, the soldiers guarding the gate, listen, I am Hu Chi'er, the captain of the Niu Auxiliary Army, I have something important to see Wen Hou, please pass it on my behalf." β
The soldiers guarding the door heard that Hu Chi'er had something important to see Lu Bu, so they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went into the account to report. After hearing this, Lu Bu said with some confusion: "Hu Chi'er? I've heard that he's a close confidant of Niu Fu, and he's coming to see me in my camp at this moment, and I don't know what's going on? He instructed the soldiers guarding the gate, "Open the gate and let him in." β
After half a pillar of incense, Hu Chi'er, who was holding a burden, came to Lu Bu's big tent under the leadership of the soldiers. Seeing Lu Bu sitting in the middle, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "General Wenhou, the traitor Niu Fu who fought against you has been killed by the villain, and now he will dedicate his head to the general." As he spoke, he lifted the burden in his hand high.
Lu Bu glanced at the military Sima standing next to him, and the other party hurriedly stepped forward to take the burden from Hu Chi'er's hand, held it over and put it on the table in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu untied his burden and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was Niu Fu's head. He covered Niu Fu's head with a furoshiki, looked at Hu Chi'er and asked, "As far as I know, you are Niu Fu's close confidant, why did you dedicate his head to me?" Tell me, what the hell is going on? β
When Hu Chi'er heard Lu Bu's question, his eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea: "Wen Hou, the little one saw that Niu Fu was against the imperial court, and once persuaded him to let him submit to Wen Hou, but he scolded the villain instead. In a fit of anger, he killed him and came to Wenhou. β
Although Lu Bu said that he was brave and unscrupulous, he was not a brainless person, after hearing Hu Chi'er's words, he did not immediately believe it, but asked rhetorically: "Are you the only one who came to me?" β
"Go back to Wenhou," Hu Chi'er was secretly happy when he heard Lu Bu's question, and felt that Lu Bu would definitely agree to take him in immediately, and hurriedly added: "There are two pro-soldiers outside the tent, and they also followed the younger one to Wenhou." β
As soon as Hu Chi'er finished speaking, Lu Bu instructed the soldiers: "Bring in the two personal soldiers outside the tent!" β
Lu Bu waited until the two pro-soldiers entered the account, knelt down in front of him, and then slapped the table in front of him hard, almost knocking Niu Fu's head to the ground. He pointed at the two pro-soldiers with his hand and asked, "Which of you will tell me how Niu Fu died?" β
The two pro-soldiers glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Niu Fu ordered to look for the ship's own soldiers, trembling: "Qi Wenhou, because General Niu could not defeat Wenhou in the daytime, he was afraid, so he packed up and escaped from the barracks overnight with us. Even when crossing the river, Captain Hu suddenly killed General Niu and took me to defect to Wenhou. β
After figuring out what was going on, Lu Bu suddenly became furious, he pointed at Hu Chi'er with his finger and said sharply: "You are disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, you dare to deceive me, it is really unbearable." Someone! β
Since Hu Chi'er and the others entered the account, Dubo, who was responsible for protecting Lu Bu's safety, arranged for people to wait outside the tent, so that if something unexpected happened, he could bring people to rush in in time. At this moment, hearing Lu Bu shouting inside, Du Bo immediately rushed into the tent with four soldiers and saluted Lu Bu with his fists.
Lu Bu pointed to Hu Chi'er, who was kneeling on the ground, with his hand, and said angrily: "Drag this person out of the gate and behead him." β
After receiving the order, Du Bo did not move, but looked at the other two personal soldiers and asked, "Wen Hou, I don't know what to do with these two people?" β
"Kill, kill!" Lu Bu, who was on the fire, heard Du Bo ask, and immediately replied without hesitation: "Drag all three of them out and behead them for public display, and whoever dares to betray the Lord and make trouble in the future will be doomed." β
After waiting for Hu Chi'er and the two personal soldiers to be dragged down, Jun Sima immediately reminded Lu Bu: "Wenhou, Niu Fu's camp is not far from here, we can send someone to carry Niu Fu's head to surrender overnight." β
For Jun Sima's proposal, Lu Bu was also very moved. But after thinking about it, he shook his head again and said to Jun Sima: "It's getting late, even if we carry Niu Fu's head to persuade him to surrender, the soldiers in the village won't believe it." In my opinion, it is better to wait for tomorrow and tomorrow, and then it is not too late to persuade you to surrender. β
When Jun Sima heard Lu Bu say this, he immediately realized that there was indeed something wrong with his suggestion, and hurriedly flattered him: "It's still Wenhou Yingming, and the last general will obey the order." β
In the early morning of the second day, Lu Bu's army came to the outside of Niu Fu's camp, first surrounded it around, and then sent people to carry the heads of Niu Fu and Hu Chi'er to persuade them to surrender outside the camp. The soldiers in the battalion had not seen Niu Fu and Hu Chi'er since dawn, and some people were panicked, but at this moment, seeing that the heads of the two were outside the camp, where could they still raise the heart of resistance. I had the heart to scatter in a hurry, but when I saw that there were Lu Bu's soldiers and horses all around, there was no way to retreat, so I could only open the gate of the village and surrender to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was reorganizing the soldiers and horses of Guishun, and suddenly a spy came to report: "Qiqi Wenhou, Li Wei's 30,000 army is coming here, and it will be about half an hour later, and it will be here." β
"Just in time." Lu Bu, who had just recruited thousands of people, was in a good mood. At this moment, I heard that Li Dao led tens of thousands of horses to send him to death, and according to his overjoy, he hurriedly ordered 5,000 men and horses to meet Li Dao's army.
Li Dao was leading the army forward, and suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in front of him. He also thought that Niu Fu had sent someone to greet him, and he was about to send someone to contact him. Suddenly, I heard the soldiers in front of me shouting: "It's not good, it's Lu Feng who came first!" β
"Lu, Lu!" After hearing the name shouted by the soldiers, Li Dao couldn't help but be frightened, and just as he was about to order the soldiers to set up the formation, the soldiers and horses led by Lu Bu had already rushed over. The galloping horse knocked the front foot soldier into the air, and the whole team cut into cheese like a red-hot sharp knife, tearing a huge hole in Li Daojun's ranks.
