After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn. ”

Crossing the Yangtze River, Lu Bu didn't feel that he had a big heart, and in the face of the sunny and cool evening breeze after the rain, he couldn't help but be poetic. But when he read two sentences, he felt that something was wrong, not that he forgot the following sentences, but that the poem was not very appropriate. It's the height of summer, not autumn, and the verses that follow are even more outrageous. Although it has reached evening, the sun is still strong, and it is still early to go down the mountain.

Although I knew that no one knew that I was plagiarizing other people's works, I was still a little weak-hearted, and when I looked around, I found that no one on the left and right had any strange looks, so I felt a little relieved, and pretended to ask casually: "Where have we been?" ”

Zhang He was approaching and hurriedly replied: "I have arrived at the guillotine gang, and it is less than twenty miles away from Jiangxia City. ”

Lu Bu frowned: "What is the origin of this guillotine post, and how can the place name be so vicious?" ”

Zhang He naturally didn't know, and was about to reply, but saw Wang Min, who joined the army, like him, and made a look, only to hear Wang Min answer: "The prime minister doesn't know, this small place does have a great history, it is said that when the Yellow Turban was rampant, Yuan Shu and Jiangxia Taishou Sun Jian and others were stationed here, and set up ambushes on both sides of this hill, when the Yellow Turban thieves who attacked Jiangxia passed here, they suddenly killed from both sides, and killed more than 100,000 Yellow Turban bandits in that battle, and the corpses and heads were buried in the mountains, forming a huge hill, Hence the name of the place. ”

Lu Bu didn't expect that Yuan Shu, who died unexpectedly, also had a glorious past, which shows that fame and interest rates will never come out of thin air, but it is a pity that they were born in troubled times, heroes and heroes have emerged, and Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and others can only end up with hatred.

Since this place is called the guillotine post, and it was once the place of the Great War, it can be seen that the terrain here is very easy to ambush, with the experience of the past, of course Lu Bu will not rush by, and after ordering the scouts to investigate closely, they found that there was no enemy situation, which made the army move forward.

When passing through the guillotine post, you can see that the terrain here is rugged, the mountains on both sides are stacked with obstacles, and the water system and lakes on the side of the Yangtze River are dense, and it is really a natural ambush place. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu only cared about their respective states and counties, but they didn't expect that Lu Bu would cross the river in the deserted place of Jiangxia.

The striker Ding Xu has already led the army to seize the beach successfully, and the troops are besieging Jiangxia, Lu Bu has already passed down the order, so that Ding Xu can not attack, just try his best to lure the defenders out of the city to meet the battle, consume their morale and military spirit, and wait for the army to arrive before making plans. Of course, Lu Bu didn't want to let Jiangxia City go, but to use Jiangxia City as a bait to lure Zhuge Liang to rush to help from Nanjun, so that he could surround the point and send reinforcements, and intercept Zhuge Liang's main reinforcements halfway.

It's a pity that there are many plains along the Yangtze River, and it is rare to have an ambush place, this guillotine post is still the first place where the army encounters a complex terrain, Lu Bu let the army enter the hill and camp in concealment, here is the only place for Nanjun to rush to the aid of Jiangxia, it is better to set up an ambush here, since this guillotine can break the head of the Yellow Turban Army, it can also break Zhuge Liang's head.

Wang Min looked at the extremely proud Lu Bu, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and glanced at Jia Xu worriedly, and found that Jia Xu had a deep meaning in his eyes, and nodded to him.

Wang Min understood and said to Lu Bu: "Prime Minister, my subordinates feel that it is not safe to set up an ambush here. ”

Lu Bu looked at Wang Min and said, "Oh? Zhong Yan wants to say that the ambush here is too obvious, and it will definitely be seen through by Zhuge Liang? ”

Wang Min nodded and said: "That's right, Zhuge Liang is cautious and resourceful, the reason for this rout is completely that he underestimated the combat strength of our army and the tactics of our army, although he hurt the root at this time, but he may not have the strength to fight back, if he sees through our army's ambush position and comes to a counter-encirclement, then our army has no way to retreat, so it can only fight to the death." ”

Lu Bu shook his head with a smile, and pointed to the field at sunset with the horsewhip in his hand: "Zhong Yan, you see, this place is thousands of miles away, this is the only ambush place, we have no choice." The Jingzhou army wants to rush to the aid of Jiangxia, the waterway is already in the hands of our army, it is really difficult, the only way is along the river bank to the east, here has become a necessary place. The terrain is favorable to us, our army occupies the high ground, can look far away, and the battlefield situation is under control, no matter how smart he Zhuge Liang is, he can't sneak in invisibly, as long as he shows his tracks, it is the time when our army wins. ”

Of course, Wang Min knew Lu Bu's plan, and he was busy: "But has the prime minister ever thought about what should happen if the enemy army gathers water upstream to open a dam?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the good things Yang Xiu did in Dongjun, the Yellow River burst and displaced hundreds of thousands of people, until now the mess in Dongjun has not been cleaned up, the whole Yanzhou is like a purgatory on earth, famine and plague are raging, if Zhuge Liang concocts it in the same way, let alone his own generals, I am afraid that the people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River will also suffer.

Moreover, the water system here is lush, even if the water of the Yangtze River is not diverted, only the water of the river is diverted, and its power is not something that human beings can stop, Lu Bu has personally experienced the muddy water, and even the power of nature's roar, so he immediately asked: "What should I do?" ”

Wang Min said: "Now whether it is the Jingzhou Army or the Jiangdong Army, they are already thin, far from being the opponent of our army, our army only needs to fight steadily step by step, first go all out to capture Jiangxia, and then divide the troops to take Nanjun, Changsha and other places. ”

Lu Bu thought so, and ordered the army to rest in place for 10,000, and tomorrow to join Ding Xu's forward army, go all out to take Jiangxia City, and occupy a firm foothold.

Jia Xu looked at Wang Min and smiled, this Wang Min is really not simple, it was just a long history of Liu Biao in the past, when Lu Bu captured Xinye, he served as the defender of Xinye City. This person did not have any integrity, he surrendered at that time, and was appointed by Lu Bu as the garrison of Xinye on the spot.

Jia Xu didn't come back then, the military advisor who accompanied the army was Yang Xiu, and I don't know what happened there, many people are always silent, and they are secretive about the things of that year, and Jia Xu doesn't know many things. But there is one thing that seems extremely strange, Lu Bu is either talented or virtuous, but this Wang Min is just a lonely and unknown person, but since then he has been on the rise, first as a garrison in Xinye, and then as a guard in Nanyang, and then concurrently in Jingzhou, even the generals stationed in Wancheng and Xinye Xu Huang, Yan Liang and others have to listen to his orders, which is really a bit incredible.

Lu Bu has always been stubborn, and his mind rarely changes, but he can often listen to Wang Min's advice, which is really a miracle.
