Chapter 21: A New Mission

"Shame, shame!"

At the same time, Lu Bu was venting his anger, he had never been forced to retreat by enemy generals since he joined the army, but this time he was forced to retreat, and he couldn't accept it at all for a while.

"Fengxian, the fault of this defeat is not yours, the other party is overwhelming, there are many fierce generals, and it is already rare for you to count one enemy."

Zhang Liao comforted.

"Liu Bei's guy is really fake benevolence and false righteousness, if he hadn't secretly attacked, I would have beheaded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

Lu Bu said angrily, Liu Bei's double swords did cause a lot of trouble to Lu Bu, but Liu Bei's participation in the war also made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei constrained and unable to exert their full strength, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may not be able to defeat Lu Bu, but Lu Bu cannot defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even if there are red rabbit horses.

"Humph!"

Lu Bu's face was ugly, but he didn't bring up the matter of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun assisting him.

"General, Mr. Jia Xu is here!"

At this time, Cao Xing, one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals, walked in and said.

"Please!"

For Jia Xu's arrival, Lu Bu was not very excited, there was no way for anyone to let Jia Xu keep a low profile, there were very few people in the entire Xiliang Army who knew Jia Xu's true talent, they only knew that Jia Xu had the talent to be close to Li Ru.

"I've seen General Lu!"

Today's Jia Xu is only in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, an elegant temperament, and looks calm as water, with no waves in the ancient well, but he is such a person who was called a poisoner soon after.

"Mr. Jia Xu!"

Lu Bu gave up his hand, even if he said hello.

"I don't know why Mr. Jia Xu came?"

Zhang Liao asked with a smile.

"According to Wen You's wishes, I went to the Tiger Prison Pass to read the holy decree, but I felt that it was not so useful to read the holy decree directly, so I came to General Lu, hoping that General Lu could help someone."

Jia Xu said with a smile.

"How can I help you?"

Lu Bu frowned and asked.

"Please General Lu send troops and fall into the majesty of the coalition army!"

Jia Xu said solemnly.

"I'm afraid that Sir is going to be disappointed, and the coalition forces will not be able to do it now."

Lu Bu's face was a little ugly.

Hearing this, Jia Xu guessed something, he didn't make a fool of himself and asked Lu Bu, but looked at Zhang Liao.

"Now there are several fierce generals in the coalition army, although they don't have the ability to challenge Feng Xian alone, but two or three people are together, even Feng Xian can't beat them, and we will ...... today."

Zhang Liao didn't say the latter words, but Jia Xu knew exactly what Zhang Liao meant.

"Don't worry, this battle will not engage them, and compared to this kind of engagement, a certain plan can make the coalition forces nervous."

Jia Xu said with a smile, still wanting Lu Bu to send troops to help him.

"I wonder what Mr. has planned?"

Lu Bu leaned forward and asked curiously.

"General Lu's task is to intercept the coalition army from approaching Luoyang, but General Lu only has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the coalition army has nearly one million soldiers and horses.

Jia Xu said calmly.

"Please sir!"

At this time, Lu Bu put down his pride and sincerely asked Jia Xu for advice.

"Cut off their grain routes, sneak attack their team transporting grain and grass materials, grain and grass is the foundation of an army, without grain and grass, no matter how many soldiers and horses are difficult to exert their strength, not to mention destroying all their grain and grass, as long as they can destroy a part, it will inevitably make them nervous, and at this time, if they go to read the holy decree again, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, if this matter is done, you and I will be rewarded by Lord Xiangguo."

Jia Xu knew that Lu Bu was competitive and powerful, greedy for merit and lust, and specially told Lu Bu that this battle could be won, and it was of great significance, and he could be rewarded by Dong Zhuo.

"Sir's plan is very good, Lu Bu is willing to help Mr."

In Lu Bu's opinion, Jia Xu's plan can not only help him intercept the coalition forces higher, but also allow himself to gain other credit, so he is naturally very happy to accept it.

"Since General Lu has accepted it, let's implement it as soon as possible, but I want to remind the general that this battle must not be greedy, not in a hurry, and must be secretive when setting off."

Jia Xu reminded.

"Sir, don't worry, Lu Bu has been in the army for more than ten years, and these things are still understood."

Lu Bu laughed and said, I listened to it, but whether Lu Bu listened to it or not, only Lu Bu himself knew.

"Jia Xu is waiting for the good news from the general!"

Jia Xu arched his hand and said with a smile.

"Sir, rest assured, Lu Bu will definitely win a big victory, return victorious, and live up to Mr.'s trust."

Lu Bu said confidently.

"Zhang Liao!"

Lu Bu drank heavily.

"The last general!"

Zhang Liao hurriedly agreed.

"Give you a day, and the morning after tomorrow, I want to see three thousand elite riders ready to go."

Lu Bu commanded in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Liao replied solemnly.

Seeing this, Jia Xu nodded slightly, and Lu Bu only ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, which shows that he understands the fundamentals of this battle, and Jia Xu is very satisfied with this.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for Lu Bu to send troops, and it happened that the coalition army was having a grain transport team coming from the rear to Hujiao Pass today, and it was Yuan Shao's men and horses who were transporting grain.

"Cao Xing, Gao Shun set off with a certain person, and Zhang Liao and the others stayed in the camp."

Chitu immediately, Lu Bu commanded in a deep voice.

"No!"

"Let's go!"

Lu Bu held high the Fang Tian painting halberd and shouted, and more than 3,000 war horses and more than 3,000 elite soldiers set off.

"Ding Dong!" The current situation of the host is detected, and the task "Enter Luoyang" is issued.

Reward 1: If the host leads the troops to enter Luoyang first, the host will be rewarded with a chance to summon a quasi-first-class general.

Reward 2: If the host fails to lead the troops into Luoyang first, the host will be rewarded with a chance to summon a second-rate fierce general.

"Ding Dong!" The host's current situation is detected, and the task "Capture the Jade Seal" is issued.

Reward 1: If the host successfully captures the jade seal and controls the jade seal for more than three days, the host will be rewarded with a quasi-first-class celebrity summon once.

Quest reward 2, if the host succeeds in capturing the jade seal, but fails to control the jade seal, the host will be rewarded with a chance to summon a second-rate celebrity.

"How come there is a task to enter Luoyang and seize the jade seal now!"

Sun Ce was a little strange about these two tasks that suddenly appeared.

"Isn't it ......"

Suddenly, Sun Ce thought of a possibility and stood up directly.

"Could it be that Dong Zhuo gave up Luoyang at this time and moved the capital to Chang'an!"

At this time, Sun Ce's heart was extremely excited, originally he thought that history had changed, and Dong Zhuo might not move the capital, after all, there was no Tiger Prison Pass, a barrier that could buy them time.

"Someone!"

After the excitement, Sun Ce shouted outside the door.

"Lord!"

Now in the eyes of most of the Danyang soldiers, Sun Ce has inherited Sun Jian's position and become their new lord.

"Immediately let Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Xue Li and other generals come to see me."

At this time, Sun Ce was eager to discuss with him, and sent someone to investigate the current situation in Luoyang.

"No!"

Not long after, Huang Gai, Xue Li and others hurried over.

"Lord!"

"Sit down!"

Sun Ce pointed to a few cushions beside him and said, there are no chairs in this era, and sitting is mainly kneeling.

"Thank you, lord!"

Everyone sat down.

"Lord, I don't know why the lord came to us in a hurry?"

Han Dang asked curiously.

"I suspect that Dong Zhuo left Luoyang with the court and the emperor."

Sun Ce said heavily.

"How is this possible?"

Huang Gai exclaimed, except for Huang Gai, the others were also shocked.

"If Dong Zhuo didn't leave Luoyang, then he should have left Lu Bu by his side, gathered troops and horses to fight hard with the coalition army, or took the initiative to attack, and concentrated his forces to attack the coalition army while the coalition army's foothold was not stable, but the current situation is not the case, Lu Bu came to challenge, in fact, it was just to suppress the morale of our army, and there was no intention of attacking the city at all, so it can be seen that Lu Bu's purpose was not to fight with our army, so I suspect that Lu Bu is buying time for the people in Luoyang."

Sun Ce said solemnly, Sun Ce knew that this kind of thing was difficult to convince his subordinates, let alone other princes.

"Lord, what are your plans?"

Cheng Pu asked tentatively, although Sun Ce's words made sense, he still didn't dare to believe it.

"Send a small group of people to investigate the situation in Luoyang first, and then make other plans."

Sun Ce replied.

"It works!"

Everyone nodded.

"Wu Yang, this matter is handed over to you, what do you think?"

Sun Ce handed over the task to Wu Yunzhao.

"The last general commands!"

Wu Yunzhao did not refuse.

"Good!"
