The cold wind is lonely, the long song is sluggish, and it soars up to nine thousand miles, and a lonely goose returns to the north.

At the head of Anyi City, which has not experienced war for many years, a spring flower climbs over the wall, the delicate yellow buds smile in the sun, and the emerald green branches stretch tenaciously, becoming the first flowers and plants to cheer in spring.

The flower bud trembled and looked out of the wall, and a fast horse galloped in, and the man on the horse carried the flag in the dust, and the anxiety of his heart was revealed from his face.

"Urgent!"

The guards did not dare to stop it, they recognized that this was an eight-hundred-mile expedited message, and there must be a very important event happening, otherwise it would never be possible to use the eight-hundred-mile expedited message.

This is the south city gate, the smoke of the point general platform is billowing out, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stand on both sides, arrange into two columns of square arrays, only the middle passage goes straight to the point of the general platform from the city gate.

Not far away, the big tent raised the king's flag, and dozens of generals sat in turn.

"I remember someone swore to me that there would be no change in Qingzhou, now it's okay, Zhang He lost to Cao Ren, and my 50,000 troops left in Yanzhou are gone, Dingtao and Shangqiu have been lost one after another, and now Sima Yi sent two armies to attack Wang Ling in Xuzhou, Xuzhou is in danger, who will tell me what's going on?" Lu Bu's voice echoed in the big tent.

No one dared to come out to answer, the original situation in Qingzhou had already been discussed by everyone, thinking that after Cao Cao died of illness, the situation in Qingzhou would definitely fall into civil strife, and the Cao brothers would inevitably fall into a fierce struggle for power, and then the court could enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. In addition, there are Jizhou Tianchou and Ding Xu in the north, Yanzhou Zhanghe is heavily garrisoned in the west, and Xuzhou Wang Ling and Yangzhou Zhao Yun in the south are contained, and everyone knows that the situation in Qingzhou is as stable as Mount Tai.

Yang Xiu saw that the atmosphere was lonely and had to stand up and said: "The King of Jin is angry, the Cao brothers have always been at odds, and now I don't know why they have joined forces together, originally in the past few years, Dongjun and Qingzhou have been all soldiers, and now they have mobilized more than 150,000 soldiers, and they respect Cao Pi as the king of Qi and openly rebelled, so that the morale of the rebels is great, the rebels take Cao Ren as the commander, Sima Yi as the military division to join the army, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu as the two generals, and more generals Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Dian Man, Han Hao and others with the army, it can be said that they are pouring out of the nest. As long as our army is deployed along the line of Xuxian and Chenliu, the Qingzhou soldiers cannot enter the north, the west can not attack, only the south attacks Xuzhou, as long as our army fights a decisive battle with the Qingzhou soldiers in Xuzhou, it will be able to eradicate the northern soldiers once and for all. ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Dezu takes it for granted, such a plan is naturally good, but how can others watch the King of Jin clear the obstacles, Cao Jun's move will definitely lead to the situation in the world, the military report a few days ago has already warned that our army Chang'an, Fancheng, Xinye, Jiangxia, and Shouchun are all facing an army from Liu Bei and Sun Quan. ”

Tian Feng said: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan's generations are all flies and dogs, and they are people who forget their righteousness when they see profit, as long as they slow down their military spirit with small profits and do not make them echo each other from afar, there will be no big problem, and the king of Jin does not need to worry." The plan now is to calm down the troubles of the henchmen. Although Cao Jun is numerous, it is a fish that dries up, and if he wins, he will be powerful, and if he loses, he will be defeated. It seems to be the strongest side, but in fact it is the easiest to destroy. Our army has been recuperating for a long time, the grain and grass are abundant, the armor is strong, and the king of Jin is in the prime of life, martial arts are flourishing, at this time the world is rising again, is not God giving a good opportunity, unifying the world is just around the corner. ”

Lu Bu has received a report about the affairs in the city, and now that the army is about to go out, he ordered Lü Xing to supervise the government as the prince, and ordered Wei Yue, who returned from Liangzhou, to take over the military affairs of the state and assist Lü Xing to stabilize the court. Ordered Zhang Liao to go to the eastern county with the army, this eastward expedition, in addition to the generals of Rongbian, the generals of the dynasty almost poured out, and the momentum was very huge.

The army marched to Mengjin, and encountered more than a dozen Ran lanterns sent by the research institute to be made, Lu Bu recognized that this thing was a hot air balloon, but it was rough in production, far from being as sophisticated as in later generations, subject to materials, these Ran lamps were very bulky, not easy to transport, and the operators had not undergone systematic training, and it was difficult to form combat power for the time being, so Lu Bu did not accept it, so the research institute handed over these bulky guys to the military department, and after the training was skilled, he was planning to do the military.

The army marched for more than a month, to Guandu, it was already March, the spring was strong, the rain for several days made the spring flood flood, the army was extremely difficult to march, and could only advance two or three miles a day.

The rear was even more difficult to deliver, and the army had to move step by step, but such weather was also extremely unfavorable for the Cao army, these days, the offensive of the Cao army has been greatly weakened, and the report of the military situation on the front line is no longer as urgent as before.

However, there was more news from the court from the rear, and Lu Xing acted as the prince of the court, and many of Lu Bu's unfinished major matters have made progress one by one.

Although it was the first time it was held, the students who participated were a little uneven, but after all, there were still a lot of civilian students, and some of them had real talents. Due to the resistance of the scholars, about ninety percent of the people who participated in the spring examination were commoners, and the remaining ten percent were some children from small families. Lu Bu believes that with the deepening of reform, the new imperial examination system will definitely become an important guarantee for the country's take-off.

In addition, Lu Xing also came from Anyi an important event, Lu Bu's carefully planned gunpowder development plan finally made significant progress, everyone already had a clue, plus the important bookmark left by Master Huang before his death, black powder was always available a month later, after several detailed tests, the power of gunpowder is very gratifying, only a small amount, enough to blow up a solid wall.

Now Lu Xing is buying charcoal on a large scale and stepping up the production of gunpowder, thinking that the army is a killer weapon. For a time, the wind of charcoal burning in Anyi was in full swing, and every household returned to their old business, and war preparations were in full swing.

When the rain was a little overcast, Lü Bu ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on Cao's army. Although the Cao army is numerous, it is mostly a rabble, in the face of the previous local defenders, with the advantage of numbers, it can still gain the upper hand for a while, at this time in the face of the elite Bingzhou army, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers armed to the teeth, even if Sima Yi and others are good at planning, they still can't erase the gap in the strength of the two sides, and they have lost several battles in succession, and they have lost Shangqiu, Jiyin and other cities, and retreated to Dongjun to hold on.

The battle situation is the same as back then, the difference is that Cao Cao presided over the war back then, although he was at a disadvantage, there were countless elite soldiers, and there were countless people who hated the same enemy with him, and regarded Lu Bu as a jackal, tiger and leopard, and did not dare to despise half a point.

And now, Cao Cao has already taken the crane to the west, and Cao Pi, who inherited Cao Cao's foundation, is certainly also a leader among the people, but he is young after all, and his control of the army is by no means as comfortable as his father, which can be seen from the previous several defeats.

So Cao Pi ordered the defenders to stick to Dongjun and not come out, only to hold on to the fortified city. Dongjun has been under the pressure of the state army for many years, and the construction of city defense has long been incomparable, just the city wall has been increased by more than one zhang on the original basis, not to mention the female wall built inside and outside, and it is absolutely impossible for the siege vehicle to crash the city wall.

Lü Bu attacked several times, leaving only countless corpses, and not even a single soldier had captured the city.

When the attack was blocked, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to fight and did all the work, and ordered the army to divide into three routes, first take the surrounding counties and counties, and cut off the wings of the Cao army with the momentum of encirclement, leaving only a lonely city to see how long he could hold out.

However, it is up to people to succeed, and many things are not as smooth as Lu Bu imagined. Not long after the military order was issued, Lu Bubian received an urgent report from Anyi.

Liu Bei learned that Lu Bu poured out of the nest in order to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou, took the opportunity to go out of Hanzhong, raised 100,000 troops, and went down to Dingxi and Tianshui from Qishan Lian, Liangzhou defender Cao Bao died in battle, and the deputy general Jiang Wei led the crowd to surrender to the enemy, and Liangzhou fell overnight.

Gao Shun, the general of Zhenxi, tightened the front, held Yongzhou with the mountains outside the Guan, and urgently asked the imperial court for help. This time, Liu Bei's army gathered in Guan Zhang and other generals, and there were more scheming people such as Fa Zheng, Chen Gong, and Xu You to accompany the army, and the situation was very urgent.

What's more important is that Nanjun Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation, echoing Liu Bei's army, with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan as the vanguard, and even under Fancheng and Xinye, the troops approached Nanyang.

Fancheng's guard Zhang Jaw was defeated, and Xu Huang was shot off his horse by Huang Zhong and was seriously injured, and Nanyang was also in danger for a while.

Such a situation was beyond Lu Bu's expectations, when he set out on the expedition, he had already received Liu Bei's movements, and ordered Gao Shun and Zhang Jaw to hold the city and not act rashly, but he did not expect to be easily attacked by Liu Bei.

Now facing the enemy on three sides is a taboo for soldiers, and Liu Bei's army is even more direct to Lu Bu's vital point, pointing directly at Chang'an and Luoyang, if there is no Lu Bu to help, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Cao Pi sticks to Dongjun and does not come out, and Lu Bu is difficult to capture the city for a while, so he can't help but be worried, and there are a few more gray hairs in one night.

It was night, and the wind and rain were rising again. The army is trapped in front of the East County City can not be saved, and the alarm behind is frequent, at the time of the dilemma, the military advisor Yang Xiu offered a plan to build a river embankment in the Jiyin River Road, gather the water from the upper reaches, in order to flood the East County, and then it can be easily won without a single soldier.

Lu Bu thought about it again and again, and finally felt that this plan was too vicious, killing too many innocents, and harming the peace of heaven, so he did not adopt it. However, Liu Bei's disaster was imminent, and the army must not stay here for a long time, so he ordered Zhang Liao, the prime minister of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, who was good at offensive and defensive battles, to defend Sun Quan's army. And ordered the general Wang Ling to guard Jiyin, with Yang Xiu as the military counselor, and ordered them to stick to Jiyin, and Shangqiu into a corner, as long as they can't hold out, Cao's army is short of food and grass, and it must not be achieved overnight, and it will definitely return. As long as Cao Jun's sharp energy is exhausted, with their desperate situation, they will definitely lose their vitality, and Wang Ling can slowly figure it out.

The next day, Lü Bu hurriedly led the army back, leaving the generals Guo Yan and Li Dao to guard Shangqiu, and Feng Ji and Wang Min were left to raise grain and grass for the front-line army to protect the front-line armament.

Lu Bu only led 50,000 elite horses, rushed to Nanyang in the rain, this battle Liu Bei's two armies were launched together, and the momentum was like a bamboo, especially Zhuge Liang's army was particularly fierce, Zhang He and Xu Huang were all famous generals who had fought for a long time, and they were all defeated under Zhuge Liang's hands, which shows that the god of this person's use of soldiers is by no means inferior to historical legends. On the contrary, Liu Bei's pro-conquest army did not pose much of a threat, although it seemed that the troops were strong, but Yongzhou had many mountains and dangerous passes, and Gao Shun, who was good at defense, was in charge, so there would not be much danger for a while. For today's plan, we can only defeat it all the way first, and then attack it together.

When the army arrived in Nanyang, Nanyang City was already crumbling, and the 50,000 army led by Zhuge Liang was divided into three routes with Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, and Liu Feng as generals, and the water surrounding Nanyang City was impassable. Wei Yan and Huang Zhongzhi's courage have long been passed down to the world, and although Liu Feng is young, Lu Bu had a meeting with him as early as a few years ago, and even this son is different from the records in the history books.

Lu Bu received a report from the scout, and immediately ordered the army to divide into two ways, Zhao Yun led a cavalry of 20,000 to attack his left wing Wei Yan's department, and led an army of 30,000 to attack Zhuge Liang's right wing Huang Zhong's department, the army was all cavalry, and it was as fast as thunder when Zhuge Liang was not aware of it.

At night, Lu Bu took advantage of the night to march to the top of the mountain in the suburbs, only to see that the lights in Nanyang City were like a galaxy, and there were countless fires stretching endlessly, obviously after a hard battle. Outside Nanyang City, Zhuge Liang's military camp is endless, the torch in the camp is like day, and the rigorous and deep military essentials are arranged. From the top of the mountain, the battlefield is like a chessboard, with the teeth of the enemy and the enemy, and I don't know how many treacherous battles have passed, and there are remnants of beacon fire everywhere. Lu Bu watched for a long time, and had a way to break the enemy in his heart, so he ordered the army to extinguish the torch and wrap the horse's hooves to move forward, but fortunately, the Bingzhou army was good at night fighting, and when the stars were shining, the army was like a river down the mountain road.

From time to time, he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, but there was no enemy situation, Huang Zhong did not even notice the quiet arrival of tens of thousands of troops, as long as he crossed the mountain col in front, he would go straight behind Huang Zhong's camp, which was simply incredible.

Lu Bu saw that the mountains and forests on both sides were dense, and the shadows around the galaxy were full of shadows, but the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet. Lu Bu had a warning in his heart, all this was too smooth, it is said that Huang Zhong is also a famous general in a hundred battles, if he is not so negligent, he can't even detect tens of thousands of cavalry approaching, could it be that there is fraud in it?

Ordered the army to stop, tens of thousands of troops after strict training, their own set of methods for passing orders, instantly frozen in place, for a time without any sound.

"The terrain ahead is dangerous, if Huang Zhong ambushes 10,000 archers here, we will be killed and wounded, who will go to investigate for me?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice.

A general hit the horse out, but it was the young general Wen Qin, Wen Qin was trusted by the defense of Lu Gou, all the way to the top, and the courage and martial arts, in just a few months was already a partial general, the Eastern Expedition was recommended by Lu Gou to join the army, it was the wolf cavalry battalion a team leader.

"The last will go."

Lu Bu had some impression of him, although this person had been in the army for a short time, but he was a little brave in every battle, so he said to him: "You order the wolf to ride five hundred, first cross the mountain pass to explore the camp, if you don't see the enemy attack, I will order the army to rush to help, you can go straight into the enemy camp, set fire everywhere to cause chaos, and don't fall in love with war." ”
