On August 16, 188, Li Mu bid farewell to his family, led the dragon to ride with Fu Shuai, and rushed to Quail City, Anding County. Huang Zhong's Tianfeng Legion, Dian Wei's Tiger Wing Legion, and the Vermilion Bird Cavalry had already secretly assembled in Quail City!

At this time, Ma Chao's Lion Legion and Jiang Wei's Forwardless Legion claimed to have 30,000 people, and they were moving south along the Huangshui River to attack Qingfeng City.

The army went south, Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, and Fang Yue led an army of 6,000 as the vanguard; Ma Chao led an army of 10,000 to sit in the Chinese army, and the deputy generals were Wu Lan, Zhang Wei, and Yang Qiu; Hu Du and Cheng Yi led an army of 4,000 to escort grain and grass.

It turned out that in late July, Fang Yue came to Ningcheng with his family. Li Mu directly appointed Fang Yue as a lieutenant and served in Jiang Wei's Forwardless Legion!

Zhao Yun's Canglong Legion, which was full of banners and banners, claimed to have 20,000 people, was marching east along the Wei River into the Wuyue Pass. The Chinese army of the Canglong Legion was obviously used by Li Mu to confuse the enemy army in Chencang City.

In the Canglong Legion, Luo Xian and Pang De led an army of 3,000 as the vanguard; Zhao Yun and Ma Tie led an army of 5,000 as the Chinese army; Fu Wei led an army of 2,000 to transport grain and grass.

……

However, he said that when the imperial envoy returned to Luoyang City from Ningcheng, he did not enter the palace to reply to the decree, but came to meet Dong Zhuo in person. When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru heard that Li Mu was willing to give up Chen Cangcheng, the two of them were overjoyed. Li Ru only regarded Li Mu as being forced to give up Chen Cangcheng because of the face of the loyal monarch and the country, so he did not doubt him!

Dong Zhuo hurriedly ordered Dongzhong Lang to take Dong Min and let him enter Chencang City. Dong Min followed Dong Zhuo's general order, to be precise, it should be Li Ru's planning, and ordered Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, and Cao Xing to lead 40,000 troops to guard Chencang City. Wei Xu and Hao Meng led 10,000 troops to garrison the front line of Yixian, Wugong and Meiyang. Dong Min led 30,000 people to guard Chang'an City!

Chen Cangcheng Mansion!

"Report ......"

"Say!"

"General Qiqi Lu, our army sentry is in the upper reaches of the Wei River, and it has been found that there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and they are coming to Chencang City, which is now less than a hundred miles!" A herald hurriedly reported.

"Report ......"

Before Lu Bu could open his mouth to inquire about the enemy's situation, another herald hurriedly came to report.

"Speak quickly!"

"General Qiqi Lu, our army sentry is in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River, and there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and they are coming to Qingfeng City, which is now less than a hundred miles!" The second herald hurriedly replied.

"The banner of the enemy army on both sides...... Have you ever found out? Lu Bu was stunned and shouted in a deep voice.

"The enemy troops in the upper reaches of the Wei River have 'Right General Li Mu' embroidered on their banners, and the banners of the enemy generals have 'Zhao and Dian'. The enemy army in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River is embroidered with 'yellow, horse, ginger' on the handsome flag. The two heralds replied one after the other.

As soon as the herald's voice fell, Zhang Xiu, Hou Cheng, and Cao Xing were shocked, and they fell into deep thought with a solemn face!

Lu Bu's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was racking his brains to think of a way to break the enemy!

It's been a long time......

"As the last general can see, the enemy army advancing east of the Weihe River is a partial division, and the enemy army going south of the Huangshui River is its main force!" Gao Shun hurriedly spoke.

"Oh......" Lu Bu said in surprise: "Li Mu personally commanded the army, and came east along the Wei River...... Why did General Gao say this? ”

Zhang Xiu, Hou Cheng, and Cao Xing also looked at Gao Shun in surprise, waiting for Gao Shun's analysis!

"Chen Cangcheng is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Li Mu is good at using soldiers, how can he not know?" Gao Shun hurriedly gave a salute and said loudly: "Therefore, the enemy army advancing east of the Wei River is just a bait. The enemy army heading south of Huangshui wants to capture Qingfeng City and ...... our army Trapped in Chen Cangcheng! ”

"Li Mu's dog thief is really insidious!" Lu Bu was stunned and asked in a deep voice, "What General Gao has seen...... How should our army be deployed? ”

"The general can send an army west to the upper reaches of the Wei River, hold the Wuyue Pass and the red sand plateau on the north bank of the Wei River, and be sure to block the enemy army on the south bank of the Wei River!"

"Qingfeng City was built at the confluence of the Huangshui and Wei Rivers, and its strategic location was very important, and it was the main road for our army to withdraw eastward from Chang'an City. If there is a mistake in Qingfeng City, the 40,000 army will be closed! ”

"The general also needs to report the enemy situation here to General Dong in Chang'an City. General Dong was asked to send troops to support Yongxian, eighty miles northeast of Chencang City. If Yongxian can be defended well, the enemy army heading south of Huangshui is not to be feared. When the enemy's food is exhausted and the troops are withdrawn, our army can take advantage of the situation to cover and kill! ”

Gao Shun had already made up his mind and replied in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiu, Hou Cheng, and Cao Xing also nodded and said good!

"Good!" Lu Bu thought less, and saw that Gao Shun's plan was very good, and he couldn't think of a better countermeasure, so he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun listen to orders! Order the two of you to lead an army of 15,000 people to the west into Wuyue Pass and Chisha Plateau, and guard the west gate of Chencang City! Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun a few times, and said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun take orders!"

Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun received the general's order, strode out, and rushed to Wuyue Pass and Chisha Plateau!

"Cao Xing listens to orders!"

Lu Bu glanced at Hou Cheng and Cao Xuan a few times, and finally fixed his gaze on Cao Xing's face, and said in a deep voice.

"The last general!"

"General Cao led an army of 5,000 and held Chencang City tightly, and there is no room for error! If Chen Cangcheng has the slightest mistake, come and see you! Lu Bu shouted fiercely.

"Cao Xing takes the order! I am willing to swear to defend Chencang City to the death! Cao Xing saw Lu Bu's angry face, and hurriedly replied with a respectful voice.

"General Hou and go to reorganize the army, and in two quarters of an hour, he will rush to Qingfeng City with Ben!" Lu Bu looked at Hou Cheng and said in a deep voice.

"Hou Cheng takes the order!"

Hou Cheng was shocked when he saw Lu Bu's murderous face, and after receiving the order, he quickly went out and went to prepare.

……

Besides, Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun, with 15,000 people, went out of the west gate of Chencang City, raised their horses and whips, and marched west along the north bank of the Wei River.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun's westward army came to Chisha Plateau. The two saw the north-south Chisha Plateau, lying longitudinally on the north bank of the Wei River, the terrain was very dangerous, and they held the main road for the enemy army to enter Chencang City from the north bank of the Wei River to the east. The two of them settled down a little!

"General Gao can lead 5,000 people to stay here. Ben will lead the remaining 10,000 people to occupy the Wuyue Pass! ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Gao Shun and said in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!"

Gao Shun wanted to ask for orders to defend the Wuyue Pass, but when he saw that Zhang Xiu's military order had been issued, he immediately said with a solemn face: "If Gao Shun is not bad, the enemy army will definitely come along the north bank of the Wei River." Once General Zhang is gone, he can set up camp on both sides of the Wuyue Pass and the Wei River, and it will be difficult for the enemy army to advance half a step eastward. When the time is ripe, Gao Shun will also lead troops to help! ”

"What General Gao said is reasonable!" Zhang Xiu thought about it for a while, and said thoughtfully: "When the army arrives at the Wuyue Pass, the general will definitely choose a dangerous place...... Camped! ”

"General Zhang, take care!"

Gao Shun saw that Zhang Xiu was willing to listen to his suggestions, and he was overjoyed, hugged his fists, and said loudly.

"General Gao, take care!"

Zhang Xiu returned the salute, and then led his troops to Wuyue Pass!
