Chapter 86: One Step at the End of the World
After a lot of success in this battle, LΓΌ Bu ordered the generals not to rest, and according to the guidance of LΓΌ Rong and other Montenegrin soldiers, they cleared the nest where the Montenegrin army was entrenched.
Due to the collapse of the main force, there were not many guards in the lair, and the army slaughtered all the recalcitrant Montenegrin defenders, capturing a certain amount of baggage. Lu Bu saw the poverty of the Black Mountain army, and it really reached the limit, and the grain and grass reserves of the 200,000 army were less than one-tenth of his own army of 50,000.
On the same day, LΓΌ Bu ordered Hou Cheng to lead 5,000 cavalry to escort the surrendered Montenegrin prisoners of war all the way through the Taihang Mountains, and through Huguan to Taiyuan County, Bingzhou for resettlement.
This battle finally cut off the strength of the Montenegrin army that had been entrenched in Handan for many years, and reached the original idea of going out to fight against the Montenegrin forces, cut off the party henchmen, and besieged Changshan Zhang Yan with Yuan Shao.
The army repaired in Handan for three days, looking north at Changshan, a hundred miles away, where Yuan Shao led the Yizhou army to confront Zhang Yan's 300,000 Black Mountain army.
Three days later, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to send a letter, saying that the battle situation in Changshan was urgent, and that when he heard that Lu Bu had defeated Liu Shi and other Montenegrin generals in Handan, Yuan Shao praised it, and asked Lu Bu to hurry up and rush to Changshan, so as not to let Zhang Yan escape.
Lu Bu did not shirk, immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses, led the 60,000 troops supplemented by soldiers, and marched straight to Changshan.
When he arrived at Changshan, he saw that Yuan Shao had surrounded Changshan, and the army strictly guarded the key roads of each pass to prevent Zhang Yan's thief army from escaping.
Lu Bu and Yuan Shao successfully joined the teacher, and Yuan Shao personally greeted the wind.
Yuan Shao personally saw that the Bingzhou army was neat and tidy, and it was indeed an elite division that had experienced a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked and envious.
During the big tent, Yuan Shao didn't seem to take his father's hatred to heart, with a harmless smile on his face, he laughed with Lu Bu and said: "Feng Xian's courage is really the best in the world, this Chao Ge, Handan's Black Mountain Army has been entrenched for many years, and there have been successive assassins who have sent troops to clear it many times, but they have all returned in vain, and I don't want Feng Xian to cut it off in less than a month, which really makes us ashamed." β
Lu Bu saw that his face was full of smiles, but his true thoughts were hidden behind the smile, which was unpredictable, and said modestly: "The thieves are afraid of the strength of the original brother's soldiers and horses, so they will retreat and dare not compete with you." This battle was precisely because he saw that our troops were weak and underestimated our soldiers and few generals, so he gave me an opportunity to take advantage of them. β
During the banquet, the generals of the two armies exchanged glasses and drank and returned happily.
After the banquet was dispersed, only Tian Feng, Xu You, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Fu Zhu and other strategists were left in Yuan Shao's account.
Yuan Shao was helped by Lu Bu's army, and he was in high spirits for a while, and he ate a little too much wine, and at the moment he was blushing and drunk.
Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shaoxing was high, worried about the future situation, and said: "Lord, Lu Bu is good at fighting, and he takes the Chaoge and Handan Black Mountain Army lightly, like slaughtering pigs and dogs, and even more accepting his soldiers and people, which is really a great disaster for the lord, it is better to take advantage of his unpreparedness and get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future disasters." β
Yuan Shao was slightly drunk, and he was quite displeased when he heard this, and said: "Lu Bu came thousands of miles to help me break Zhang Yan together, and cut off the Black Mountain thieves from all over the country for me. β
Tian Feng disagreed: "Lu Bu has a great enmity with the lord, if he is killed, it is a great virtue, how can the world laugh at it?" Besides, no matter how fierce the Montenegrin army is, it is only an itch of skin after all, and once Lu Bu is allowed to sit big, with the courage of the state soldiers, it will be a big trouble for the lord, who is in charge and who is second, isn't it clear at a glance? β
When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes flickered, and he was quite moved.
Guo Tu is the best at observing words and feelings, and has a grudge with Tian Fengduo, and sneered: "Yuan Hao, is this going to put the lord in an unkind and unrighteous place?" Although the lord has a great enmity with Lu Bu, but at this time, the two armies are allied, and there is still an alliance in hand, how can he break the contract privately? If he strikes a blow against him in the face of war and ruins the name of the lord's benevolence and righteousness, who will dare to befriend him in the future? β
Yuan Shao attaches the most importance to his reputation, and when he listens to Guo Tu's words at this moment, he feels that his words are reasonable, and he said: "The words of the public rule have won my heart, and I must not lose my heroic heart for the sake of the current small profits." β
Frustrated, after listening to Yuan Shao's words, he shook his head secretly and said: "Lu Bu fell from a high position and survived, if there is no heavenly favor, how can he get out safely?" If the lord does not take the opportunity to eradicate it as soon as possible, he is afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. β
The judge said with a smile: "Lu Bu is just a yellow-mouthed child, and his soldiers and strategists are all young people, and it is difficult to grow old. β
This remark hit Yuan Shao's heart, making him smile and said: "That's right, Lu Bu is a young man who seeks the country, there is no need to worry, with the strength of courage alone, how can I convince the world, and after he helps me eliminate Zhang Yan, it is not too late to deal with him." β
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu saw that Yuan Shao had made up his mind, and they were disappointed in their hearts, so they didn't say anything more.
Out of the military tent, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu walked side by side, and there was still residual anger at the things in the army, Tian Feng said: "Guo Tuyong mistook the master, and the lord followed his advice, which is tantamount to raising a tiger for trouble." β
After Yuan Shao seized Yizhou, he became his advisor from Yuan Shao, but after all, he was a new follower and had not yet won Yuan Shao's trust.
Frustrated, he said: "We only do the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and as for other things, we will leave it to fate." β
At this time, seeing that Xu You was not far ahead, the two of them stepped forward quickly and asked: "Gongda is the main confidant, why is Shicai silent during the banquet, and let Guo Tu, judge and others mislead the master?" β
Xu Yu was unruly and often cynical, and said with a smile: "The two of you are too anxious, and you don't know what the lord is planning to do, so you naturally return in vain." β
Tian Feng said: "If the lord doesn't kill Lu Bu, his plans in the future will be all nonsense, how can we not be anxious?" β
Xu You shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong, it has been a long time since you lived in Yizhou, in order to win the hearts of the people of the world and recuperate with more good governance, how can you be embarrassed by the heavens, and such a disaster has occurred." How could the lord let this Black Mountain Army mislead the reputation that he had been operating for a long time, and naturally cut them off as the primary target, and if you persuaded Lu Bu to get rid of it first, it would naturally be in vain. β
Frustrated and angry: "Can reputation be more important than the world? β
Xu You shook his head and laughed, and cursed angrily: "Am I not right? What's so funny? β
Xu You said slowly: "The lord has collected all the world's famous people in the name of Corporal Lixian, and has captured the hearts of the people of the world with the posture of the world's male lords and princes, so he naturally takes this reputation as the foundation of his life, how can he easily break it?" β
Tian Feng and Frustrated were speechless, only a thousand tears.
When Lu Bu returned to his own camp, he didn't know what Yuan Shao and others were talking about, but in case they saw each other, the soldiers would be waiting for him to prevent unforeseen disasters.
A few days later, it was the day of Chongyang, and it happened that the weather was fine, Yuan Shao swore an oath to the army before Shuaitai and ordered a general attack on Zhang Yan.
Lu Bu was a guest, and he couldn't take the lead, so he asked for orders to contain Zhang Yan's allied army, Wuhuan and the four slaughtering tribes and other foreign armies.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and all the times Zhang Yan turned from danger to safety, Wu Huan and other subordinates came out of nowhere, attacking and killing Yuan Shao, making him unbearable.
At this time, with Lu Bu contained, this battle must be broken in one fell swoop and the Black Mountain Army forces in Yizhou will be wiped out.
Yuan Shao took Wen Chou as the vanguard, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran as the generals and personally led the army of 150,000 to encircle and suppress Zhang Yan's department.
The battle was in full swing, and Lu Bu swept the formation for it and protected its rear wings. From time to time, there are scouts.
"Report, Wen Chou killed General Zhang Yan in Gendi, broke Zhang Yan's front army, and is going to the mountains to kill."
"Report, Zhang Jaw broke through Zhang Yan's left flank, killed 20,000 enemies, and occupied Grizzly Ridge."
"Report, Gao Ran and General Zhang Yan fought in Wuxian, the two armies are staggered, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser."
Lu Bu listened to the frequent good news, and he also admired Yuan Shaojun's combat strength.
After a few days of fighting, Yuan Shao's army won consecutive battles and had besieged Zhang Yan's army at the foot of Luming Mountain.
Lu Bu saw that Yuan Shao's army was in full swing, and these tens of thousands of reinforcements were useless for a while, so he was quite emotional, and asked the army to be stationed nearby to cover for Yuan Shao, in case Wuhuan and other foreigners took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack his rear.
In addition to being bored, I remembered that there was also a fierce general named Zhao Yun in Changshan, who was in the countryside, and if he could find it, he would definitely be a talent for the humerus.
Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Chan in his early years, but he was not reused, and his brother died suddenly, so he resigned from Gongsun Chan and returned to his hometown in Changshan.
Lu Bu remembered that Zhao Yun's hometown was in Changshan Zhending, and he was not far from here.
Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's victory and truce, Lu Bu took Wei Yue and several guards to Zhending to find Zhao Yun's traces.
Zhao Yun is known for his bravery in Zhending County, and he has traveled around as a ranger, so he has some fame, but it is not difficult to find out.
Lu Bu inquired all the way, came to Zhao Yun's house, saw that the courtyard door was closed, asked several times but no one responded, and with a gentle push, the courtyard door was opened.
He ordered the guards to be stationed outside the door, and he and Wei Yue walked into the courtyard, and there was a young man in the courtyard who practiced martial arts, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a white face and a pair of skins in the future, which was enough to make a group of women crazy for it.
Lu Bu didn't want Zhao Yun to be so young, and he felt a big difference in his heart.
When the young man saw the two of them breaking in, he was very rude, and said angrily: "Who are you waiting for, why did you break into my door?" β
Lu Bu knew that he was wrong, and he came to make friends with him from time to time, so he saluted and said: "I waited for the right time to call the door outside, but I didn't hear back, and I pushed the door of the courtyard to cover it up, and I took the liberty to enter and ask for forgiveness." β
When the young man saw that he was speaking politely, he did not intend to deal with him, and said, "In this case, you should leave quickly, and do not stay here any longer." β
Lu Bu hadn't gotten to know Zhao Yun yet, so how could he leave easily, and said, "I've heard Zhao Zilong's chivalrous heart for a long time, and I'm here to make friends, dare to ask Your Excellency if it's Zhao Zilong?" β
The young man was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are here to find your cousin, he is a busy man now, and it is unfortunate that you are here, he is not at home." β
Lu Bu felt slightly disappointed and asked, "Will he come back today?" β
The young man said: "I should come back, my aunt is old, and he wants to come back every day to fulfill his filial piety." β
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and said, "Can we enter the hall and wait for him to return?" β
The boy said, "Naturally." β
He led the two to the main hall for a while, and refilled tea for them.
Lu Bu looked at the layout of this hall, there were countless weapons furnishings, long halberds, short swords, axes, axes, and hooks, and there was even a flower stem Fang Tian halberd that was very similar to his own.
Lu Bu was secretly shocked, could it be that this is also a Fang Tian painting halberd? With such an artifact, there is a second one in the world?
Lu Bu asked the young man, "These many famous weapons belong to your brother?" β
The young man said: "Exactly, it's just that these weapons are just made of ordinary iron and stone, imitations of the world's famous weapons, only have their appearance." β
Lu Bu smiled with relief, it turned out that Zhao Yun was still a weapon collector, and couldn't help laughing: "Your brother is also interesting, please ask the name of the little brother." β
The young man's chest straightened and said, "My name is Zhao Lei, the third in the family, and my brothers call me junior." β
"Mistress?" Lu Bu was drinking tea, and when he heard the name, he couldn't help but spit it out, and almost laughed out loud.
Zhao Lei said with a puzzled face: "Why is the distinguished guest so out of shape, is this tea not in good taste?" β
Lu Bu thought to himself: It's not your name that makes trouble? Little three, hahaha! Zhao Lei? Do you want me to teach you to sing Chengdu?
Just as he was about to defend himself, he suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard outside the house: "Be careful, this is built by me with a lot of money, and it must not be damaged." β
Xiao San Zhao Lei said with a happy face: "Brother is back!" β
As he spoke, he got up to greet him, and before he could go out, a young man had already appeared at the door, commanding the two of them, and was carrying in a long knife with a pitch-black body.
The young man pushed Zhao Lei away from the door and reprimanded: "Teach you to practice martial arts well, but you are cheating and playing tricks while I am away, how can you practice martial arts?" β
In the afterglow, he saw Lu Bu and Wei Yue, two unfamiliar faces, and was slightly stunned.
Zhao Lei hurriedly said with a look of sycophancy: "My brother has wronged me, isn't this a guest coming to find my brother, how can I be rude?" β
Lu Bu heard that this person was Zhao Yun, and saw that he was also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, handsome and abnormal, but he was a little more heroic than this Zhao Lei, and he was even more extraordinary.
Lu Bu has experienced life and death, and he has seen through the gains and losses of fame and fortune, and he will not respect his identity as before, and saluted: "I have long heard that Changshan Zhao Zilong is a hero and hero in the world, and now when I see it, it is really extraordinary, and his reputation is well deserved. β
Zhao Yun saw that the long knife had been properly placed, so he waved away the two miscellaneous servants, turned around and said, "It's just a false praise, and it can't be true." Who are you? β
Lu Bu said: "I am Lu Bu in the state, and I have heard the chivalrous life of Zilong for a long time, so I have come to make friends." β
Zhao Yun's face changed drastically: "But Lu Bu, who broke Dong Zhuo and fought against the heroes? β
Lu Bu saw that his complexion changed several times, and secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that Zhao Yun had any prejudices against himself?
I could only stubbornly reply: "Exactly." β
Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Is there a lie? β
Lu Bu said: "There is no lie. β
Zhao Yun shouted: "Very good, I'm waiting for you to come!" β
After speaking, he bullied himself without saying anything, and his fists and feet were like wind and lightning, attacking Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was taken aback, this Zhao Yun had never met before, how could he add fists and feet as soon as they met, as if he had a deep hatred.
Zhao Yun's offensive was fierce, his fists and feet were thunderous, Lu Bu didn't dare to be careless, and he could only see the moves. couldn't bear to attack each other, and was forced by Zhao Yun to retreat again and again.
Zhao Yun attacked again and again, but after all, he couldn't close the distance between the two sides by one step, and the distance of this step seemed to be an eternal distance, as if the end of the world was close at hand.
