Chapter 608: Dragons Have No Leader
"General Xiang, General Xiang..." Lu Xun shouted twice.
Xiang Yu ignored him and had already walked away.
................
Due to Lu Xun's prudence, he did not send troops. The 60,000 army stood still on the south bank of the Wei River for nine days.
In these nine days, Ma Chao took the official letter given to him by Lu Bu and prepared to take office in Xiliang. He was accompanied by Xue Rengui's 300,000 troops. Among them were Liu Bowen's tens of thousands of banner troops.
Arrived on the south bank of the Wei River.
Put on a position.
In the tent.
The crowd gathered.
Liu Bowen said: "General Ma Chao has a lot of relationship with the Qiang people, so it is better to persuade the Qiang people to withdraw from Xiliang." If they refuse, it will not be too late for our army to force the crossing of the Wei River. ”
"Hmm."
Lu Xun also agreed: "The art of war is cloudy, the first army is to fight, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city." If you can drive away these aliens without using swords, it is a good strategy. ”
"I don't agree!" Xiang Yu stood up and said: "The Qiang people, the Xiongnu, and Tuoba Xianbei dare to confront us with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This shows that they have long been interested in annexing our territory. If you don't give them some great looks, he'll come back one day. I will, let no one go. Not only to fight, but also to annihilate them all! ”
Xue Rengui, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, also said: "I also agree with General Xiang's words, foreign races are barbaric and cannot be edified. Letting them go today is like letting a tiger go back to the mountain. The border has always been a hidden danger to us. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability, this battle must be fought. ”
"This..."
Lu Xun looked at Xue Rengui and said, "General Xue, 90,000 of the 120,000 troops of the Qiang people, the Xiongnu, and Tuoba Xianbei are iron cavalry. If you really want to fight, it's not so easy to win. The so-called killing of 1,000 enemies, self-loss of 800.... ”
"And the most important thing." Liu Bowen said: "The lord is preparing to be the emperor, we must quickly occupy Xiliang, pull the troops back to Luoyang, and then we have to reorganize the army, parade the army and so on." Time is running out, it's better to do it quickly. ”
"Then you can't let the aliens go, right?"
Xiang Yu still didn't let go: "These alien races are extremely hateful. If the lord is here, he will definitely order total annihilation. ”
"Generals..." Yang Lin, who had never spoken, said: "If you keep arguing, there will be no result." Let's take a look at our generals, who has the highest position? Whoever has a high position will listen to whomever it is, and it can be regarded as fair. ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Xiang Yu smiled and said: "When it comes to position, of course I am the highest." ”
"But General Xiang, don't forget, you are subject to General Lu Xun this time. It stands to reason that your decision must be agreed by Lu Xun, right? Liu Bowen smiled.
Xiang Yu pursed his mouth: "Lu Xun's position is not as high as Xue Ren's..." ”
Really talk about high and low.
It's even more unclear.
Before Liu Bowen left the Military Aircraft Department, he was the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and his position was the highest. After leaving the Military Aircraft Department, his position was lowered by three ranks, and he was not as good as Luo Cheng, the governor of Jingzhou.
Therefore, Liu Bowen and Xue Rengui are on the same level.
Speaking of which, there is no result.
Xiang Yu finally said: "Since I can't decide, I will send someone to send a letter back to Luoyang and ask the lord to decide." ”
"How can that be? From Weihe to Luoyang, it takes at least half a month to go back and forth. By the time the lord made a decision, the alien race had already increased its troops, and we had missed a good opportunity to retreat from the enemy. Lu Xun said.
"What then?" Xiang Yu sat aside.
Liu Bowen took the map and said, "What we are arguing about is nothing more than to wipe out the alien races or scare them away. I think it is better to divide the troops into two routes, one way to occupy Gaoling in Zuo Fengyi County in the north of the Wei River, and contain the 120,000 foreign soldiers and horses in front of them. Then send all the way to occupy Touyu County, which occupied Zuo Fengyi County, to prevent the Xiongnu from moving south to increase their troops. When the lord's decision is reached, let's make a plan. ”
"Okay."
Xiang Yu was the first to agree.
He was 100% sure that Lu Bu would definitely give the order to annihilate all the alien races!
Lu Xun is leading the troops in a safe place, although Liu Bowen's plan cannot repel the aliens, but it can also prevent the aliens from increasing their troops, which can be regarded as a compromise.
"Okay, I agree." Xue Rengui also said.
And so it was decided.
It was the second half of the night.
The 360,000 troops marched towards Zuo Fengyi County on the Wei River.
From the Wei River to Zuo Fengyi County, there are more than 400 miles, and there are two rivers in between. But it doesn't matter, the river is not deep, and it is completely possible to find the shallows and wade through the water.
After the 120,000 troops of the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Xianbei were reported, they followed all the way.
After Xiang Yu personally broke off, he ambushed the alien race.
The aliens suffered a great loss and stopped to rest.
..................
days.
Xiang Yu's eight hundred miles were sent to Luoyang urgently.
Lu Bu was discussing the war in Hebei with Xu Shu and Jia Xu, and received an urgent report from Xiang Yu, and Lu Bu tore the letter to shreds.
"Why is the lord angry? Is it because of the war in Hebei? Xu Shu asked.
Lu Budao: "Xiang Yu came with a letter, saying that he had encountered 120,000 foreign soldiers and horses in Weihe, and the two sides were at a stalemate. He asked me if I was good at repelling the aliens. Or is it better to annihilate all aliens? ”
"What does the lord mean?" Xu Shu asked.
"Do you need to ask?" Lu Bu handed Jia Xu a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and said, "Give them a letter back." first reprimanded them, and then ordered Xiang Yu to take charge of all the soldiers and horses in Xiliang, and let him be sure to wipe out all the alien races within two months, and not let any of them go. Generals at all levels, no matter how high their positions are or how many soldiers and horses there are, must obey Xiang Yu's dispatch... ”
"My lord."
Jia Xu was taken aback, interrupted Lu Bu's words, and said, "General Xiang Yu is indeed a sharp weapon for killing, but he is reckless and arrogant with his soldiers. If you lose the battle, you will lose too many soldiers and horses... ”
"I believe in Xiang Yu!" Lu Bu got up and said, "There are nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang, all of which are mobilized by Xiang Yu. If he can't clean up the aliens, he won't lead the troops anymore. Oh yes...... Han Xin's 1st Army, not under Xiang Yuguan. Ordered Han Xin to return to Luoyang immediately, and I had another appointment. ”
"Yes..."
Jia Xu quickly wrote down the order and stamped it with the seal of the Military Aircraft Department.
Expedited with 800 miles and sent to the front.
Lu Bu walked to the map on the side, pointed to Youzhou and said, "Only if Youzhou wins the battle, can the crisis in Hebei be resolved." However, I'm afraid that Bai Qi can't compete with the alien Iron Horseman. Two gentlemen, do you have an idea? ”
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Didn't the lord already transfer General Han Xin back?" At that time, his 1st army crossed the Luo River, passed through the east and west of the river, and bypassed Taiyuan, and could be inserted into the back of the alien race. ”
"That being said, it's going to take a few months. Can Bai Qi hold out for a few months? Lu Bu shook his head and said, "No." Han Xin's 1st Army is going too slowly, and we must transfer troops from the Central Plains. Defeated the 200,000 horsemen of Yecheng. The situation there is even more dangerous than in vain. ”
Xu Shu and Jia Xu both frowned.
Stared at the map for a moment.
Jia Xu said: "The lord can issue another order. Han Xin's troops arrived at Weihe and did not have to return to Luoyang. Along the north bank of the Wei River, pass through Gaoling and Linjin of Fengyi County, and then cross the Luo River from there, land in Pubanjin, and then pass through the east of Hexi County and Xihe County, you can reach Taiyuan. Rendezvous with General Li Jing. If there is no delay on the road, it will only take one and a half months to reach Taiyuan. ”
"A month and a half? Can you get there? ”
"Yes!" Jia Xu said with certainty.
"Okay, then hurry up and give him an order, just say that Hebei is in a hurry, and let him rush to Jinyang in Taiyuan within a month and a half to meet Li Jing." Lu Budao.
"No."
Jia Xu went to write the order.
