Chapter 20: Conquering Xu Rong

"If it weren't for Xunyi and Chengfei last night, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out of the encirclement of the enemy. You two have done great things, so why are you guilty? ”

Lu Bu said, and also asked about the scene when Gao Shun and the two led troops to rescue last night, and after hearing Wei Yue's truthful answer, he also sighed in his heart, a famous general is a famous general! Gao Shun can judge the outcome of a battle according to the overall situation, and has the ability to adapt to changes, which is a rare general in the era of cold weapons.

"Although Niu Fu has fled, I expect that in a few days, someone will sacrifice his head under the tent!"

Lu Bu said softly.

But for Lu Bu's words, Gao Shun and Wei Yue are not so sure. They didn't know why Lu Bu was so sure that Niu Fu would die, but they still bowed down to congratulate Lu Bu, "If so, congratulations to the Lord!" ”

"Lord, lord!"

Just when Lu Bu and Gao Shun were talking for less than a moment, Cheng Lian walked in again, with a look of urgency, "General Hao Meng is dead!" ”

"What?"

Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Wei Yue changed color together.

Especially Lu Bu, his face was extremely gloomy, and he stood up from his seat all of a sudden, his armor had not been taken off, and he said with a sad face, "Take me to see General Hao's body!" ”

In war, there will always be deaths.

The crockpot will not be broken from Inoue, and the general will inevitably die in battle. Since stepping on the battlefield, no one is sure that he will be the next to fall on the battlefield.

The sky was gray, and it was already drizzling at some point. Lu Bu's eyes were staring at Hao Meng's body in front of him, and there were at least dozens of wounds on Hao Meng's body! There are several feather arrows on his body, and it can be seen how brave this fierce general was before he died, and he died very heroically!

Silent.

Lu Bu didn't say a word, and the generals behind Lu Bu also followed Lu Bu to stand straight in the wind and rain, and behind them, there were tens of thousands of pairs of eyes watching, with pathos in their eyes.

"Wen Hou, people can't be resurrected after death! Please mourn! ”

Cheng Lian held a Luo umbrella, walked to Lu Bu's side, and said to Lu Bu in a deep voice.

"Ziwen, die a well-deserved death, strong!"

Lu Bu said.

In this battle, he won Jia Xu's plan, and in total, Hao Meng was indeed blocking the knife for him! It should have been him Lu Bu who rushed into the ambush circle first, but Hao Meng was greedy for merit and led the Flying Bear Battalion to the front quickly, which led to the onslaught of the Xiliang army and died after being defeated.

"Lord!"

The generals looked at Lu Bu and said sadly.

Since the conquest of Bingzhou, there have always been people who have died, they have followed Lu Bu to fight for many years, and they have seen too many dead people, and they have long been numb. But today's Lu Bu let them see a different Wenhou.

"Pass on my general's order, Hao Meng is brave in this battle, and he died in battle, and he will not fall into the prestige of my army! A reward of 100 gold will be given to his family. From now on, Hao Meng's family is small, and my Lu Bu's family is small! ”

Lu Bu pushed away Cheng Lian, who came up to shelter him from the rain, and shouted under the drizzle.

"No!"

Everyone said in unison.

Lu Bu's attitude towards Hao Meng made them also grateful. Because on this battlefield, no one is sure that today's Hao Meng will be tomorrow's self.

Turning to look at the generals behind him, as well as the tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, Lu Bu's mood had never been so heavy for a moment! He wanted to open his mouth to blame himself, but in the end, it was just a faint compliment!

Perhaps, this is the pride of being a lord, right? The lord can know his mistakes and correct them, but he will never admit them!

"Zhengde, do you know about the casualties of our army in this battle?"

Lu Bu looked at Cheng Lian.

Under Lu Bu's gaze, Cheng Lian straightened up and said in a loud voice, "Yu Wenhou, in this battle, our army lost 1,332 people, seriously injured 116 people, and lightly injured 2,146 people. ”

"How's the result?"

Lu Bu continued to ask.

Cheng Lian's face turned red with excitement, "In this battle, our army beheaded more than 2,000 people and captured more than 5,000 people. More than 30,000 enemy troops were routed, and countless baggage were captured. ”

In this era of warfare, there are very few statistics that are so accurate! Generally speaking, the results are roughly counted. For example, the soldiers who died in battle, and the soldiers who killed the enemy...... If it weren't for Lu Bu's special statement, from now on, all the soldiers who died in battle on his side must be accurate to the exact number, and I am afraid that it will only be roughly recorded.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

After hearing the results of Cheng Lian's words, everyone was shocked, even those fierce generals who fought on the battlefield were a little surprised. Such a victory is not small! After all, the Xiliang Army is known as the first elite in the world! It is not easy to achieve such a result. Everyone's eyes looked at Lu Bu, and the mountain shouted "Long live"! To be able to achieve such a victory, naturally everything is due to Lu Bu.

"From now on, all the soldiers who die in our army must not ignore one! However, all those who died in battle will be counted in their names and places, and they will be given pensions, and their families will be supported by the army. ”

Lu Bu glanced at everyone, suddenly turned to Hao Meng's corpse behind him, knelt down on one knee, and made a military salute with a solemn face. And after Lu Bu, everyone also followed Lu Bu's movements, knelt down one after another, and saluted Hao Meng and the rows of soldiers who died in front of them!

Today's war will be remembered in the annals of history!

Because, this is the beginning of a generation of Wen Hou, Fei General Lu Bu officially competing for hegemony in the world and laying the foundation of hegemony! From now on, Lu Bu will be invincible in the world as an overlord!

Even if it was a drizzle, by the time Lu Bu returned to the tent, he was already soaking wet. Hurriedly changed into a set of clothes and armor, and Lu Bu then instructed the generals to go to the tent camp to discuss some follow-up matters.

The big war, naturally, was won.

But there are a lot of things left over after the war! Especially if there are no advisers in the army, there are some things that those generals who can only fight can't do. In this regard, Lu Bu can only express helplessness, in the past, most of these things were the responsibility of Zhang Liao and Lu Bu themselves, but now, Zhang Liao is not there, only Lu Bu is busy alone, and he is really powerless.

"Ziwen was killed, and the three thousand flying bear battalions had no commander in general. Zixing, I also ask you to temporarily take over the position of the leader of the Flying Bear Battalion. ”

The three thousand Xiliang soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion, after Hao Meng's death, were leaderless. Lu Bu didn't think about using other generals to command, and his eyes were on Xu Rong.

Long before the conquest of Niu Fu, Lu Bu had the heart to surrender Xu Rong, and today Lu Bu ordered Xu Rong to temporarily serve as the leader of the Flying Bear Battalion, which means that Xu Rong was officially recruited! I saw that under Lu Bu's gaze, Xu Rong pondered for a while, and recalled the scenes of so many days in his mind, and his face became solemn.

"The last general, what is the word for death!"
