Chapter 122: Boundless Falling Wood Xiao Xiao
The old farmer's eyes were full of despair and dead silence when he looked at Lu Bu, and on his ravine-stained face, the occasional flash of resentment was fleeting, drowning in a lonely despair.
Lu Bu was speechless for a while, and the people of Luoyang suffered from the war, which had long been expected, but at this time, listening to the words of the old farmer, seeing the scene of homeless people everywhere and unclothed, it was still difficult to suppress the shock in his heart.
On this vast Guanzhong Plain, this old peasant is by no means the most miserable person, nor is he the most desperate person, and there are tens of thousands of people like him who are living miserably.
In the hearts of these people, they are afraid that they will have no family and country for a long time, and their only luxury is to survive for another day. If someone with a heart rises to the top, I am afraid that it will be a chaotic situation where the people will rise up and the followers will be like clouds.
Lu Bu had no choice but to persuade with good words, but how could he appease everyone's lonely hearts with his barren words, and he couldn't even talk about scratching his boots. In the face of the unforgiving reality, no amount of beautiful words pales in comparison.
Before leaving, Lu Bu ordered people to distribute part of the soldiers' food to the people, although it was only a drop in the bucket, but it could make these people have a full meal and feel at ease.
Tian Feng and Lu Bu accompanied, followed behind him, saw that he treated the people well, by no means the legendary tyrannical, and the people under his rule and the state were even more praised to him, even if it was the hometown of Jizhou, the time to join Lu Bu was short, but it was also a thriving scene, secretly said: This person not only has the courage of the overlord, but also the benevolence of the ancestors, although the heroes of the world are like the Qing of the river, but there is such a bearing, I am afraid it is unique. The Han family has fallen apart when he sees it, and if anyone can replace him, I'm afraid it must be this king.
In a blink of an instant, he had walked several miles, and when he saw that Lu Bulu met the homeless people, they all wanted to scatter their wealth, and after a while, the military rations brought by the people had been exhausted. He said: "The prince uses his own funds to help refugees, just like the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle, although it is an immeasurable good deed, but for the common people, it is just a temporary relief, and it is by no means a long-term solution." β
Lu Bu sighed to Tian Feng behind him: "I don't know, it's just that the sage said, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, although I can't compare with the sage, but now that I am in a high position, I must do my best for the people." I only hate the endless things in the world, but when my strength is exhausted, I see the people suffering, and I have the heart to help, but my strength is not broken, and my heart is like a knife. β
Wei Yue was on Lu Bu's side, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel evil in his heart, the prince and the prince usually kill and kill decisively, when did he have such a compassionate heart? couldn't help peeking at Lu Bu's eyes, but when he saw his eyebrows dancing, his mouth was like a river, and his saliva was splashing everywhere, he had a compassionate attitude, and he felt that the cold hair behind his back was upside down, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Tian Feng was moved after hearing this, and admired Lu Bu's love for the people even more, and said with sincere admiration: "The prince has the world in mind, and the heart of worrying about the country and the people makes us worship, but the aid is just a small road, which can only solve the temporary difficulties of the people. The ancients said: It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. It is better to break through the troubled times of the princes and give them a stable living environment, which is the way to long-term peace and stability. β
Lu Bu smiled mysteriously, turned around and saluted Tian Feng, and said, "I was about to ask sir, Cao Cao's army is multiplied by me, and it is difficult to predict his whereabouts for a while, so Mr. has a clever plan to help me." β
Tian Feng hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, I have a plan to help the prince find the main force of the Cao army, lure him to come, and fight a decisive battle with the prince." β
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and the decisive battle was exactly what he dreamed of. Although Cao Cao was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, he was very confident in his army, and his armor and weapons and military service training were all more worrying than Cao Cao.
Hurriedly said: "Sir, speak quickly." β
Tian Feng said: "Cao Cao's new Guanzhong, but he was insatiable, he didn't want to consolidate the state and county, and even divided his troops to attack Chang'an, his ambition can be said to be obvious in the sun and the moon, he had an absolute advantage in troops, but this division of troops made the previous advantage disappear, and this is one of them." Cao Cao originally refused to have Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, and the population, money, and food were incomparable, and he should have cultivated well, but he ignored the hardships of using soldiers for many years, and still recruited 200,000 soldiers, and there were countless miscellaneous farmers. The pass is long and narrow, facing the enemy on all sides, it is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, as if it is entrusted with huge funds in the palm of its hand, and there is always the disaster of overturning, and this is the second one. For these two reasons, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated in the future. β
Lu Bu saw that he had been talking for a long time, but he didn't get to the point, and asked anxiously, "So what?" Sir, I won't let you know what you have planned. β
Tian Feng smiled and said: "Although there is the above situation, but the prince's army is weak, but it is the truth, Cao Cao does not dare to attack easily is really afraid of the prince's personal bravery, if the prince suddenly becomes ill, Cao Cao will be bewitched, and will raise troops to attack. β
Lu Bu hesitated: "Cao Cao has always been cunning, how could he be so easily fooled, besides, the method of pretending to be sick has already been used when I was in Jizhou, how could Cao Cao be defenseless?" β
Tian Feng said with a smile: "The prince doesn't know, the people who claim to be heroes in this world have a common weakness, that is, self-confidence!" Because of self-confidence, they fell in the same place again and again, so the prince showed weakness, as long as the method is right, he will succeed. β
Everyone walked and talked, and after a short time they had come to the col of the mountain, the col was only because of the shade and the sun, although the ice and snow had melted, but it was still very muddy, and everyone rode horses to walk in the meantime, but they felt wet and slippery.
At this time, several horses suddenly galloped in, and it was the scout sent out before.
The scout said closely: "Report to the prince, I found a group of Cao soldiers and horses in front, the number is about thousands, we dare not startle the snake, and we have come to report to the prince." β
When Lu Bu heard this, he said: "It is precisely because there is no place to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." I was scheming, and they actually sent it to the door, which was really filial. β
He ordered dozens of soldiers and generals to go with him: "Go, follow me to take a look." β
The people walked through the mountain col through the mud, and saw that five miles away from the mountain col, there were simple military tents like haystacks, and they were encamped at the foot of the mountain outside the mountain pass, and from a distance, they looked like a string of mushrooms scattered at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Bu was full of interest, in the past, he had done a lot of things like this kind of sneaking camp and surprise attacks, but later, his soldiers were strong and strong, and he didn't need to do these things himself, and there were already countless generals doing it for him. At this time, I experienced the previous mood again, but I felt that my blood was boiling, and I shouted: "Kill with me!" β
The surprise attack should have been quietly approached and attacked fiercely, but Lu Bu's roar was enough to shake the mountain, and the soldiers couldn't help but be shocked: "The prince is really not an ordinary person, even if it is a secret thing like attacking the camp, he must do it openly and appreciatively." β
At this time, the people in the military tent heard the sound of the armor not far away, and hurriedly gathered troops and horses to meet the enemy. By the time Lu Bu approached, Cao's army had basically gathered a large army and was ready to fight.
The leader of this Cao army was named LΓΌ Qian, although his name was not good, he followed Cao Cao very early and was very trusted by Cao Cao. When Cao Cao attacked the Tiger Prison Pass with the alliance of princes, LΓΌ Qian accompanied the service in front of the tent, and saw LΓΌ Bu on the battlefield a few times, especially LΓΌ Bu led the heavy cavalry, and the battle of the Zaozhuang camp was attacked by thousands of miles, which made LΓΌ Qian unforgettable for life, with thousands of cavalry, breaking the coalition army of more than 100,000, and this coalition army is a famous general, this battle is unique throughout the ages.
It was Lu Qian who recognized Lu Bu at a glance, and at this time, Lu Qian saw that Lu Bu was only a few dozen horses rushing to kill, but he didn't dare to despise it in his heart, and called on the army to put up a defensive formation.
Lu Bu did not stop, and rushed into the battle formation, followed by the generals Wei Yue, Wei Xu, and Zhang Jaw, Zhao Zhao and others who surrendered from Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and dozens of fine horsemen followed closely behind.
Although thousands of troops have been fighting for life and death for a long time, how can they stop half a point in front of a group of fierce generals who are like wolves and tigers! In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu and others were killed in the center of the battle formation, and the formation was torn apart, and countless Cao soldiers and generals died in the hands of Lu Bu and his generals.
LΓΌ Qian was afraid of mourning and did not dare to face the enemy, so he urgently ordered the army to retreat. But the formation of the army was bloated, and they retreated in a panic, and the enemy army was chasing and killing on the side, and for a moment they were all confused, and fled in all directions, like frightened elk.
Lu Bu pursued closely, only chasing the main force of Cao's army to slash and kill, and abandoned the stragglers who broke away. After chasing for more than ten miles, Lu Qian's thousands of troops were killed by dozens of Lu Bu's cavalry, and only a dozen or so personal soldiers and generals were left and right to flee.
Lu Qian and others saw that the road could not escape, panicked and broke into the mountain road of Bishan, the mountain road twists and turns, gradually to the cold place, there is still residual ice and snow in the shady place, the four hooves of the horses are difficult to bear, and it is even more difficult for everyone to move forward.
But Lu Bu and the others behind him obviously rode more divine horses and had more exquisite riding skills, and they had caught up with them in a blink of an eye.
Lu Qiandan felt a strong wind behind him, and when he looked back, he saw the halberd flashing overhead, and Lu Bu's tall figure was like a mountain, like a god and demon, and he was behind him. Lu Qian couldn't help but feel cold in his limbs, as if he had been immobilized, and he couldn't move, he couldn't help but be disheartened, closed his eyes and sighed secretly: "My life is over!" β
When Lu Qian closed his eyes and waited for death, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the enemy army behind him, Lu Qian opened his eyes and looked back, and saw Lu Bu's horse stumbling forward, and Lu Bu and his horse rolled down the slope of the mountain in the residual ice and snow.
The slope is as high as several zhang, although it is not steep, but it is also extremely dangerous, Lu Bu fell from the horse this time, I am afraid it is difficult to be safe. A group of generals from the state went to the bottom of the slope one after another to rescue them, and then they couldn't care about pursuing Lu Qian and others.
Lu Qian had a good chance to breathe, and hurriedly galloped away, not daring to delay for a moment, as for whether Lu Bu fell to his death and was disabled, he did not dare to investigate and investigate, and led the remnants of the soldiers to run away from the forks along the trail.
Lu Bu was lying under the hillside, and when he saw that Lu Qian was far away, he got up and said to everyone with a smile: "Look at my acting skills, can you fool Cao Cao?" β
The generals were dumbfounded, Lu Bu fell off his horse, which really shocked them into a cold sweat, but they didn't expect him to do it on purpose, only Tian Feng smiled and said: "The prince is improvised, even I think this change is true, not to mention Lu Qian." Even if Cao Cao has always been suspicious, I'm afraid he will believe it a little. β
Lu Bu smiled proudly: "Then I will add another fire, and Cao Cao will believe it." β
So, Lu Bu lay on his horse, pretended to be seriously injured, and left Bishan with the support of the generals. Return to the barracks. Along the way, the generals looked miserable, and they were all seen by the rout of the Cao army who fled in all directions.
However, it was said that Cao Cao sent LΓΌ Qian to investigate LΓΌ Bu's movements, but there was no result for a while, and when he was anxious, he heard the news that LΓΌ Qian was defeated and returned, and hurriedly summoned people to inquire in detail about the incident. Lu Qianzai carefully said it from beginning to end, and emphasized in detail how Lu Bu pursued him and how he fell off the horse and fell off the mountain.
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and asked the ministers: "Lu Bu has always been brave and good at riding, but this time he fell off his horse for no reason, which is really strange, what do you think?" β
Cheng Yu said: "Human clouds: good swimmers drown, good riders fall." Lu Bu has been unparalleled in riding and shooting in his life, but it is inevitable that there will be a time when he is a hundred secrets, although this fall from the horse is strange, but everyone has witnessed it, and countless soldiers who have fled back have seen him return injured with their own eyes, and they can't fake it. β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Regardless of whether Lu Bu's injury is true or not, his purpose is always to lead Princess Ming to a decisive battle, Ming Gong has 200,000 soldiers and occupies the land around Luoyang, while Lu Bu is only 100,000 soldiers and horses, only the riverbank projectile is based, and the back of the Yellow River is facing the enemy on three sides." Ming Gong might as well plan and lead the army to besiege Lu Bu on the riverbank, when he has his back to the Yellow River, there is no danger to defend, there is no way to retreat, grain and grass are difficult to eat, and he is afraid that he will collapse without a fight. β
At the right time, another military report came: after Lu Bu returned to the camp, he gathered troops and horses from all over the place, and even recalled Zhao Yun's 20,000 troops, joined forces, and trapped them in the military camp on the bank of the Yellow River. The barracks were heavily guarded, only allowed to enter and not to leave, as if they were hiding something.
Cao Cao finally put his mind at ease and said with a long smile: "Lu Bu has been falconing all year round, but I didn't expect to be pecked by the eagle this time, such a God-given opportunity, you can't live up to it." β
He ordered the army to pull out the camp and march in the direction of Lu Bu's military camp, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Hongnong to defend against Ma Chao's sneak attack.
The army marched for a day, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain in the early morning of the second day, when passing through the mountain pass, the muddy land in the shade of the mountain froze again, and countless traces of the horse's hooves left before were all over it, and after freezing, countless potholes the size of the bowl mouth were formed, the potholes were uneven, it was extremely difficult to travel, and there were countless war horses that twisted the horse's legs.
Even the military advisor Guo Jia's war horse was also damaged, but fortunately, the general followed him and rescued him in time, which saved him from falling from the horse and being injured. Cao Cao understood Guo Jia, gave up his war horse to him, and rode the ordinary war horse of a soldier himself. Cao Cao's war horse is called the day, a thousand miles a day, with the power to chase the wind and the sun, in this rugged and difficult col like walking on the ground. Guo Jia was deeply loved by Cao Cao, and was naturally moved.
But after all, not all the war horses were like day by day, seeing that the road was difficult to travel, and the war horses lost a lot, Cao Cao had to slow down the speed of the march. During the march, Cao Cao looked at the mountains covered with residual snow on both sides, and said with a smile: "Lu Bu seems to be really seriously injured, you see the terrain here is steep, if we ambush an ambush here, throw stones and shoot arrows from the top of the mountain, we will retreat with all our might." β
The generals echoed and laughed, and at this moment, there was a sudden thunderous shout from the mountains on both sides, countless falling rocks and fallen trees rolled down, and countless strong bows and crossbow arrows shot from the top of the mountain.
