Wei Yue heard Lu Bu's words, and finally fell a big stone in his heart, with his understanding of Lu Bu, after this scolding, even if the previous things were turned over the chapter, he hurriedly gathered to the side, and said with a flattering face: "The prince is good to go, and the military advisor and General Zhang Jaw are temporarily resting in the Shili Pavilion in front." ”

Lu Bu jumped past him, leaving a cold sentence: "Don't be happy too early, the military law is strict, you are derelict in your duties, whether you can survive depends on the attitude of the military advisors, you come with me." ”

Wei Yue's expression was frozen, looking at Lu Bu's back and going away, so he had to follow dejectedly.

Lu Bu came to Shili Pavilion, and saw that the army had already set up camp, and Zhang Jaw and several military divisions had already received a report from the guards, and they were already waiting outside the camp tent at this time.

Seeing that everyone was tired, coupled with what he had seen and heard along the way, Lu Bu knew the danger of this battle, and quickly greeted his open jaw and said: "The general will turn the tide and protect the safety of my army, please accept Lu Bu's worship." ”

Zhang Jaw hurriedly bowed down in front of Lu Bu, supported Lu Bu's figure, and said angrily: "Zhang Jaw is just a duty, and he has done something within his ability, and he really has no credit." The ability to turn defeat into victory in this battle depends on General Wei Yue's timely arrival, otherwise it will be difficult for his subordinates to protect the army. ”

Lu Bu patted Zhang's shoulder and comforted him, and asked about the safety of all the military divisions, and only then did he feel relieved when he learned that everyone was fine.

Returning to the military tent, Lu Bu summed up the victory and defeat, and said: "In this battle, our army annihilated Cao Ren's department, the main force of the Cao army, and defeated the Cao army east of Dongjun, a total of tens of thousands of Cao troops were annihilated, Cao Cao's troops were greatly damaged, and our army also lost nearly 20,000 elites. ”

Jia Xu said: "Our army's strategy is quite effective, and now Gao Shun and Xu Huang have formed a flanking attack on Xu Chu's army in Wuchao, and the victory is only in the moment." And Yan Liang tightly attracted the army of Cao Xiu and Cao Hong in Juancheng, so that he could not divide his troops to rescue Dongjun. Zhao Yun besieged Cao Jun in Juye, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. At present, Cao Cao's army outside is contained by our army, in the absence of reinforcements, Cao Cao can only defend the city, and he is now overstretched, our army can raise troops to attack it, and the situation will be greatly improved. ”

Now that the battle situation is obviously tilted, Cao Cao saw that he lacked skills to return to the sky, Lu Bu nodded and said, "How much grain and grass does our army still have?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "Our army's grain and grass can last for three days at most, if General Zhao Yun can't break through Juye in time and obtain the grain and grass in it, our army will have no food available." ”

Lu Bu also did not have a good way to deal with it, and the food and salaries in Chenliu, Shangqiu and other places behind him were looted by Cao Cao, and the remaining people in the city were still hungry, and where could they raise military rations. Although the state is rich in grain and grass, but the road is far away, and it takes two days to travel by water, and the black nest is still in the hands of Cao Jun, the water grain road is equivalent to being choked by the throat, and can only be transferred by Guandu.

Lu Bu thought left and right, and finally made up his mind: "Order Zhao Yun to step up the attack on Juye, and be sure to break the city within two days." The army rested for a day, and tomorrow it captured Dongjun, and there was no room for return in this battle, only victory and not defeat. ”

The battle was properly arranged, but he saw Wei Yue shirtless, carrying a bundle of firewood, walking into the big tent with his head down, and said in an urn voice: "Wei Yue has come to ask the prince for his guilt." ”

Lu Bu saw that in order to survive, he even used the trick of pleading guilty, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said sarcastically: "Hey, when did General Wei change his career to chopping wood, didn't he see that my army lacked food and grass, so he cut down branches to let the soldiers satisfy their hunger?" ”

Wei Yue was embarrassed by Lu Bu's words, his face was flushed and embarrassed, as if he was looking for a crack in the ground to drill into, but obviously there was no crack in the big tent for him to drill, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Wei Yue did not do a good job of the important things that the prince and the marquis explained, and he is willing to be punished by military law, and ask the prince to surrender." ”

Lu Bu sneered: "You still know that you have a heavy responsibility, since you have yourself to plead guilty, I can't let you down." Yuan Hao, you see that dereliction of duty led to the destruction of the army's military rations and plunged our army into an unprecedented predicament, how should this be punished? ”

Tian Feng said solemnly: "According to the military law order, dereliction of duty and letting the army suffer from the enemy should be beheaded." ”

Wei Yue's face turned pale, he had known that he would commit suicide in Zhongmu, and he would forget it, and at this time, it was really humiliating to bear military punishment in front of tens of thousands of troops, thinking of the wife at home and the two-room concubine he had just married, is the good life coming to an end? His heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel sorrow, and choked up: "Wei Yue deserves death for his crimes, and he is willing to be punished by military law." ”

At this time, Zhang Jaw pleaded and said: "The prince is angry, although General Wei is at fault, but he was also deceived by the enemy and suffered from the treachery of the Cao army, and he came in time to save our army from the brink of collapse, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and please consider it and save General Wei from the death penalty." ”

Jia Xu knew that Lu Bu was very friendly to Wei Yue, and among such generals and ministers, he was afraid that he was the most trusted person, and the prince's actions should be hindered by military law, and it was not good to deliberately cover up, so he echoed: "What General Zhang said is very true, now that the enemy is present, the battle general is really unknown, and General Wei can be regarded as a meritorious person, please forgive him." ”

Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Wang Ling and other generals also came out one after another, pleading with Lu Bu: "Please forgive General Wei Yue's crimes." ”

Lu Bu put on a look of necessity at this time, and said helplessly: "Since there are military advisors and generals who intercede, I will pardon your capital crimes, but although you have made great achievements, you cannot make up for the big mistakes you have made." The wolf cavalry battalion will be handed over to General Zhang Jaw to command, you will go to Shouguandu, and be sure to transport the follow-up grain and grass to the front line in time. ”

Wei Yue was in danger of dying, so he naturally didn't dare to object, got up in a panic, and was about to go out with firewood on his back.

Lu Bu asked him: "Who gave you the bad idea, and you came in with bundles of firewood, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

Wei Yue's face flushed, and he secretly looked at Tian Feng who was sitting in the tent, but he didn't tell the truth after all, and said: "It was the subordinates who came up with it themselves, the ancient people had the story of the guilt of Jing Petition, and the subordinates thought that they would not carry it more, so that they could show that they were guilty and sincerely repented." ”

Lu Bu was very angry with him, and scolded: "Why don't you get out of here, wait for me to regret it?" ”

Wei Yue hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, and rushed out of the big tent.

At this moment, the guards sent Zhao Yun's military report.

Lu Bu hurriedly obtained the military report in person, opened it and looked at it carefully, but his face became more and more silent, and even his brows were furrowed.

The generals did not know the contents of the letter, and did not dare to ask questions, so they had to wait eagerly.

After reading the military report, Lu Bu let out a sigh of relief before he said leisurely: "General Zilong has already broken through Juye City. ”

All the generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and the atmosphere of the big tent army suddenly became much lighter, and Wei Xu even said: "The city of Juye is broken, and the plan of the prince and the military division is being followed, wouldn't it be more handy to attack the city tomorrow!" ”

Jia Xu and Tian Feng are not like such a simple mind of a general, only judging from Lu Bu's expression, I am afraid that things are not so simple, I am afraid that there is still no explanation of the aftermath. Therefore, he didn't make a sound, just waiting for Lu Budao to come.

Sure enough, I saw Lu Bu shaking his head and saying: "Although Zilong captured Juye, when the city was broken, Juye's guard Wen hired a fire to burn the grain and grass in the city, and our army did not get half of the grain. ”

When the generals heard this, a smile froze on their faces, for them, the capture of Juye was for the grain and grass in the city, and as for strategic matters such as containing Cao Cao's army, it was not their concern. At this time, they learned that there was no hope for grain and grass in Juye City, and they couldn't help but be disappointed. Thinking that these days, due to the shortage of grain and grass, three meals have long been changed to two meals, and the porridge and rice have been reduced by half, and the soldiers have already complained, and they are all looking forward to the grain and grass in the giant field to solve the urgent need, and then know that the grain and grass are hopeless, how can they not be discouraged?

Lu Bu looked at the lost faces of the generals, and he was helpless, so he had to beat his morale and said: "Tomorrow will act according to the original plan, now the defenders of Dongjun are empty, and tens of thousands of our army will attack with all their might, if we win tomorrow, we will set up a banquet in Dongjun, if we don't win tomorrow..."

Lu Bu said with a long sigh and said, "If you don't win tomorrow, withdraw the troops over there." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu gathered 50,000 troops from his headquarters, 30,000 troops from Gao Shun who stayed behind in Jiyin City, 10,000 troops from Juye Zhao Yun, and more than 10,000 wolf cavalry battalions that arrived in time, and attacked the army of 100,000 troops in Dongjun.

Because Cao Ren was broken by Zhang Jaw and Wei Yue, only Cao Ren and a few thousand remnants fled back to Dongjun, and the high fortress and deep ditch outside the city of Yidong County became an ornament, and Cao Cao no longer dared to divide the extra soldiers and horses to garrison outside the city.

Lü Bu easily crossed Cao Cao's first line of defense, and an army of 100,000 surrounded Cao Cao's Dongjun regiments with a combined encirclement.

For today, Lu Bu has been preparing for many days, and at this time he will not hesitate, and ordered the army to follow the step-by-step order, with heavy crossbow arrows, stone throwing vehicles, god-breaking crossbows and other siege equipment to form a fire suppression, with Gao Shun's trap camp as the vanguard, launched a fierce attack on the city wall of Dongjun.

For a time, the soldiers were like a tide, the arrows were like rain, and countless roaring boulders and wine jars with tongues of fire were thrown on the head of Dongjun City. Even if Cao Cao had been prepared, he was caught off guard by Lu Bu's onslaught, and the defenders of the city would suffer countless casualties.

The sound of wailing and screaming resounded throughout the city, the sound of shouts and charges spread all around the city, and there were war drums ringing, horns blowing, and the east county was shocked by this momentum for several miles, countless small beasts in the mountains and fields were panicked, birds and beasts scattered and fled, and the villagers in the four fields closed the door tightly, hiding in their homes and shivering.

It wasn't until the army approached the walls that the heavy siege equipment in the distance stopped working. At this time, Cao Jun, who was hiding in the battlements of the city to avoid danger, breathed a sigh of relief.

When they looked at the situation again, they found that the scene in front of them was very bad, only to see that the surrounding city walls, countless ladders, siege engines had crossed the moat, Lu Bu's elite camp had climbed on it, like ants were squirming upward, and there were countless armies under the city, surging like a tide, black and pressing, making people's scalps tingle.

Cao Cao personally came to the battle array, and said in peace: "If the city is broken, I will die, kill me!" ”

When Cao Jun saw the commander in the battle formation, his morale was like a rainbow, and he braved the dense rain of arrows under the city one by one, and struggled to attack the Lu Bu soldiers who were climbing upward.

For a time, bows and arrows, falling rocks, and fire oil rolled down, killing and wounding Lu Bu's soldiers under the city one after another, and countless siege vehicles and ladders were swallowed by fire oil, and the flames flew in all directions, and the screams and wails were deafening.

But Lu Bu's army seemed to be not afraid of death, and went forward one after another, even if there were heavy casualties, it still rolled in, and it was endless. After a long time of fighting, the soldiers who had fallen into the camp finally rushed to the city. One point was broken, and it became a continuous trend, and for a time, countless soldiers who were trapped in the camp rushed to the top of the city, killing countless archers who were guarding behind the battlements and attacking the city.

Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "All the generals will fight back the enemy army with me, and if you win this battle, you will be crowned as a marquis." ”

A group of Cao Cao's generals naturally knew that if they didn't fight hard at this time, they might not have a chance again, so they stepped forward bravely and fought against the soldiers of the trapped camp who rushed to the city.

The battle lasted all day, until evening, when the battle was still scorching. Lu Bu's army rushed to the city wall countless times, and was slaughtered by the elite of the Cao army at the head of the city countless times.

The urn city near the city gate is even more miserable, the door hole has become the place where the Cao army at the head of the city gathers fire, countless times to storm the city gate have ended in failure, the siege vehicles and corpses are piled up in front of the city gate into a hill, making it difficult for Lu Bu to get closer to the city gate.

Lu Bu looked at the tragic battle situation, but there was only one sentence in his heart: One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither!

The battle lasted all day, although Cao Cao was in danger, but he was never defeated, but the Cao army at the head of the city became more and more courageous.

Lu Bu knew that the army fought with great vigor, then declined, and then exhausted. If you can't capture Dongjun today, even if you come back tomorrow, I'm afraid it will increase casualties, so I couldn't help but sigh and said: "Give the order to withdraw the army, our army's food and grass will be exhausted, and the morale of today's defeat will be affected, and there is no chance of victory in the battle." ”

The army retreated, each camped at the four gates, Lu Bu convened the generals of the army to discuss the matter, and said: "Our army's food and grass will be exhausted, tomorrow there will be no fighters, tonight the army will rest, tomorrow the fourth watch, take advantage of the dawn, the whole army will withdraw to Chenliu." When the time comes, Gao Shun will withdraw to Jiyin and continue to attack Wuchao, be sure to recapture the choke point of our army's grain road, and I will leave half of the remaining army food for you. Zhang Jaw led the wolf cavalry battalion to meet Yan Liang in Juancheng, retreated to Shangqiu to garrison, Cao's army was no longer able to attack, you hold on for a few days, grain and grass will be delivered in three days, no more than five days at most. ”

The generals received the order, but some Jia Xu said: "Our army should not let Cao Cao see the clue of the withdrawal of our troops, tonight we can take turns beating drums at the four gates to confuse and fatigue the enemy army, so that they can not rest peacefully, our army can inform the soldiers, let the soldiers plug their ears with cotton cloth, and tomorrow when the enemy army is tired, our army can retreat safely." ”

Lu Bu thought so deeply and ordered the generals to act according to the plan.

After arranging the withdrawal of the army, Lu Bu took advantage of the long night to look at the Dongjun city from afar, and the fire on it was as bright as day, standing in the middle of the night, like a man-eating beast.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This battle lasted more than half a year, and our army mobilized more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and after all, Cao Cao could not be annihilated. ”
