Chapter 68: Xiudu

"You are a dumb man, and you don't speculate with me for more than half a sentence on weekdays. There are so many things to talk to Wen Sima today, or you simply go to Wen Sima's command, or you don't have to be silent all day long under my command, everyone thinks you are dumb! ”

Lu Bu said coldly, Wen Han's eyes narrowed, and he was about to say a few words for Gao Shun, but was stopped by Gao Shun with his eyes, and then Gao Shun walked to the side, bowed his head and said nothing, as if he didn't know anyone.

Lu Bu shook his head, his neck rang loudly, ignoring Gao Shun. Then he squeezed out a smile from his face that was more ugly than crying, and pretended to be affectionate to Wen Han.

"Huh. Wen Sima Ru is here, I'm sorry to have you wait so long. Did you have a good rest yesterday? ”

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself and ask Wen Han how he rested yesterday, didn't he just give a topic and let Wen Han mention the matter of stealing the horse.

Wen Han smiled, did not mention the theft of the horse yesterday, and said some polite words. Lu Bu was suspicious, thinking that Wei Xu's person knew how to be loyal and didn't tell Wei Xu's identity?

Lu Bu couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it anymore, so he immediately called Wen Han and them into the house to talk, although he didn't call Gao Shun, but Gao Shun also walked in. Under Lu Bu's guidance, everyone came to the council hall, and there was a huge map of Shuofang County on the table in the council hall. Lu Bu pointed to two places and said to Wen Han and the others.

"These are the two counties of Linhe and Xiudu, which are still occupied by Qianghu. After yesterday's battle, our army and Wen Sima's army fought hard to kill the enemy, and Qianghu's soldiers and horses were only 13,000 left. Among them, there were 7,000 Qianghu cavalry and 6,000 Qianghu miscellaneous soldiers. According to the reports of previous spies, Xiuduna, which was originally the base camp of the Qianghu attacking army, originally had 15,000 Qianghu men and horses, of which 10,000 horses were moved to occupy Hudao, but after being defeated by us yesterday, 10,000 horses were annihilated, and the remaining 3,000 were left, and Hudao was recaptured by our army. And the 3,000 Qiang Hu cavalry should have fled back to repair the capital. Combined with the original 5,000 people left behind, it should be 8,000 troops.

Linhe County has always maintained 5,000 troops on the defensive, and Linhe is the nearest border of Qianghu, if it is captured, Qianghu may be reinforced at any time. This time, I plan to divide the troops into two routes, I will lead the soldiers and horses, and Wen Sima will lead the soldiers and horses all the way, and jointly capture the two counties of Xiudu and Linhe. Wen Sima, the strength and situation of the two sides, I and you have already explained in detail. Thou shalt decide which side thou should, and I will let thou make the choice first. ”

Lu Bu said arrogantly, as if he was sure to capture both places. Wen Han kept his expression calm, observed for a long time, and said while analyzing.

"There are few soldiers near the river, but there is a danger of being raided by its reinforcements. There are many soldiers in Xiudu, but once the river is led, it will become isolated, and as long as it wins, there will be no worries. In terms of the current strength of me and Captain LΓΌ, there is a certain danger in attacking both sides, but I like to fight without worries, so I choose to study the capital. ”

"Haha. The river is mine. If you choose well, you can't go back. Otherwise, it will hurt the other party, and it is likely to be attacked by it, and then there will be countless casualties because of this, although Lu Bu is a weak person, but he also has the ability to kill, and he will definitely escape and come back to take revenge! ”

"Huh. These words are also the words of my heart. ”

Lu Bu and Wen Han looked at each other and smiled, but the smiles were different, Lu Bu was grinning like a beast eating people, while Wen Han was a light chuckle. Although the two of them are laughing on the surface, they don't know what they think in their hearts, but at least, it won't really be something happy enough to make people laugh.

"Good. The matter was decided. I don't know when Wen Sima will move his troops? ”

"When Captain Lu moves his troops, I will move my troops."

"Okay, then tomorrow, okay."

"Yes!"

Lu Bu and Wen Han looked at each other for a while, and Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and said again.

"Wen Sima, I and you belong to the same Han generals, do you say that we should be of one heart and one mind?"

"Of course."

Wen Han squinted, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in this Lu Bu gourd.

"Then I will ask you for something. You can rest assured, a gentleman will not take the favor of others, and your horse will not be touched. All I want is the strange thing that hangs on my horse. Yesterday I watched the cavalry under your command fight, and it was precisely because of these strange objects that your cavalry was able to increase their combat strength dramatically, coming and going like the wind, and killing the enemy was like cutting vegetables. In fact, Wen Sima Ru should not hide this thing, but give it to me, so that the combat strength of my cavalry may increase. ”

Wen Han pursed his lips, wondering if this Lu Bu's head was funny. No matter how you see anything, you want anything. This stirrup saddle is the foundation of the Black Wind Cavalry's victory, and in the future when the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, this Lu Bu will also become one of the princes, that is, Wen Han's potential enemy, how can Wen Han help his potential enemy to improve his strength.

"Hahaha. It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Hey, what about Lu Duwei's brother-in-law Wei Xu. Why don't you see him come today? ”

Wen Han snorted, and suddenly talked about Wei Xu. Lu Bu's face changed, the smiling face that had been piled up turned cold, and he didn't speak, staring at Wen Han deadly. That demeanor was already vicious, and his fists were clenched tightly, and he didn't feel that there was a sound, and Lu Bu knew that if he punched this person's head, this person would definitely lose his life.

However, Lu Bu has not lost his mind, Wen Han has the aura of He Jin behind him, and he is a general sent by the imperial court, and he made a great contribution yesterday, if he kills Wen Han at this time, no matter how much his father-in-law 'Ding Yuan' loves him, he will not dare to keep him safe. Because, Lu Bu's move was to despise General He and the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

"He fell while walking yesterday and was slightly injured and is resting at home."

Lu Bu opened his eyes and said nonsense, Wen Han smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then saluted.

"Oh, why is General Wei Xu so careless. I'm going to go and see him, and I hope he's all right. Do you want to go with you? ”

"No, I saw him last night. I'm tired, too, so you can go by yourself. ”

"Oh, then we won't disturb Captain Lu to rest."

Wen Han said that, said a few inconsequential words to Lu Bu, and left with Guan Yu and Xu Huang. As for whether he went to Wei Xu's house, Lu Bu didn't want to know at all.

Syllable.

Seeing Wen Han and the others go out of the gate, Lu Bu grabbed the teacup and threw it over, and then sat down angrily. Originally, Gao Shun was happy when he heard that Lu Bu asked Wen Han for a stirrup and a saddle, but later saw that he died without a problem. I couldn't help but wonder.

"Feng Xian, didn't you talk to Wen Sima about the object on that horse just now, why did you suddenly talk about Wei Xu's matter."

Lu Bu rolled his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, this Gao Shun really didn't look at the atmosphere to speak, and scolded impatiently.

"Thou art dumb man when thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak, thou sayest thou shalt speak. Go back, go back! I am troubled when I see you! ”

Gao Shun didn't know what Lu Bu's nerves were, and he was also unhappy after being scolded, so he left after giving the salute.

"You are extraordinary, you have repeatedly opposed me, don't give me a chance, otherwise you will definitely make you look good!" Lu Bu sat on the stool, and the killing intent in his eyes unconsciously became more and more intense.

Wen Han and Lu Bu did not get along well, and Wen Han did not want to have too much to do with it, and on the second day, after tidying up the soldiers and horses, and baggage, he asked Lu Bu to inform him, and set off in the direction of Xiudu. Not long after Wen Han's army left, LΓΌ Bu also kept his promise and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Linhe. On the way, he ordered his scouts to inform Xue Lan, the Taishou of Linrong, and ordered him to send troops to reinforce him, and Xue Lan obeyed the order and sent Zhang Liao, the governor of the state cavalry, to lead 3,000 troops to reinforce Linhe.

Because it was not far from Qianghu now, Wen Han had to ensure the safety of his baggage, and the march was much slower, and it took three days to reach Xiudu. After that, set up a tent, first rest and recuperate, but also take precautions to prevent the Qianghu attack.

Sure enough, at night, Qiang Hu thought that the Wen Han army had just arrived and would be slackened, so he sent 3,000 cavalry to attack. Wen Han was prepared to fight with one, and the two sides fought for several rounds, but each could not get cheap. The three thousand Qianghu cavalry wanted to retreat, but they were bitten tightly by Wen Han's black wind cavalry, and the Qianghu generals did not dare to retreat too fast, in case the formation was in chaos, and knew that this Han army soldiers and horses were fast enough, coming and going like the wind, if they lost their formation, they would let this Han army soldiers and horses kill and abuse.

Later, Qianghu sent another 3,000 cavalry to the rescue, and the enemy's strength was twice that of the Black Wind Cavalry, so Wen Han had no choice but to give up and let him leave. I was also thinking in my heart, why there are so many cavalry in this Xiudu, and not all the main forces are here. Aren't the Qianghu who defended by the river all infantry.

"Hmph, let this Lu Feng get a big advantage first. How many cavalry are there in this Xiudu, and how to capture it? ”

Wen Han returned to the tent, rubbing his aching temples, unable to think of any way to attack Xiudu for a while. Guan Yu and Xu Huang stood silently on both sides, Wen Han really couldn't think of it, and looked at them, hoping that they would have a way. I don't know that they are all the same, I don't know.

"You and the others, if this head doesn't move again, grass will grow."

Wen Han was angry, pointed at them and said, his expression was both resentful and helpless.

"Extraordinary, the Tao in your chest is several times better than us, you can't think of it, how can we think of it."

Guan Yu shook his head helplessly. Thinking about this situation, Wen Han really didn't seem to have much to think about. Xu Huang walked to the center and suggested with a calm face.

"We have just arrived, and we are not familiar with the enemy's situation. It's better for us to set up a position tomorrow, look at its strength, and then make plans. ”

"Hmm. That's all it takes. However, the Qianghu side has sent 6,000 cavalry today alone, and there are still 2,000 troops that have not yet been known. However, with the number of cavalry we know so far, we should also be careful that they will surprise tomorrow before the battle. The cavalry has strong power and high attack power, and can often kill many people in a few charges. Although we also have 3,600 Black Wind Riders under our command, their number is less than theirs, and tomorrow we will prepare our army to focus on defense. ”

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

Xu Huang clenched his fists and answered. Later, Wen Han discussed the details of tomorrow's battle, Xu Huang was very proficient in the defensive formation, and Wen Han asked him to give full play to his ability and do a good job in arranging tomorrow's formation. Wen Han watched the formation diagram drawn by Xu Huang, and seemed to understand it, Xu Huang told him that this array was called the Three Talents Array of Heaven and Earth. It's a defensive formation.
