Chapter 574: Zhao Yun and Lu Bu compete
Guo Jia, as the person who followed Wang Lei to Wuji County from the beginning, has a deep affection for Wuji County. After listening to Wang Lei's words, Guo Jia said solemnly: "The lord is reasonable, Zhongshan Kingdom has been in the hands of Gongsun Chan for a certain amount of time. Now, it's time to reclaim the Zhongshan Kingdom. β
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he hugged his fists and said: "Lord, this battle can be handed over to the last general." The three thousand cavalry of the Eagle Falcon Battalion are best at long-distance raids and cover-ups. The Eagle Battalion is the most suitable as a pioneer. β
Dian Wei pursed his lips, if it weren't for the Tiger Battalion's actions, he would have to ask for battle.
Cheap Lu Bu!
Dian Wei turned his head, out of sight and out of mind.
Guo Jia said: "General Lu, Gongsun Zhan is extremely cunning, and many people have suffered in his hands. This time, we were able to successfully destroy Tian Kai and recapture Wuji County because we had insight into Gongsun Zhan's tricks and planned to make Tian Kai fall into an encirclement. Moreover, there is Gan Ning quietly taking Wuji County in order to win in one fell swoop. Gongsun Chan is prepared, I'm afraid it won't be easy to defeat. β
In his words, he raised Gongsun Zhan.
Lu Bu snorted and said disdainfully, "Don't the military advisors trust me?" In my eyes, Gongsun Chan is nothing more than a waste. It's easy to take Gongsun Zhan's head. β
Guo Jia laughed and said: "General Lu's prestige is known to the world, and everyone knows that Lu Bu is a red rabbit among people. However, Gongsun Chan is not an easy person. β
After a pause, Guo Jia said again: "The three thousand white horses under the command of Gongsun Zhan are invincible across the grassland. Especially the general Zhao Yun, who led the army, had excellent marksmanship. At the martial arts conference in Ye County, General Lu had seen Zhao Yun's marksmanship. What's more, Zhao Yun has both civil and military skills, which is not simple. β
Lu Bu frowned and narrowed his eyes, but anger rose in his heart.
Today is really going out and hitting the evil, why does Guo Jia always target him? Lu Bu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Please rest assured, Lu Bu will never fail when he leads the army to battle." β
Guo Jia said again: "If you lose, what should you do?" β
Lu Bu raised his head and said loudly: "Let the military advisor dispose of it!" β
"Good!"
Guo Jia stroked his palms and praised, looked at Wang Lei, and said: "Lord, General Lu has made a military order, and I approve of General Lu going to war." β
Lu Bu flicked his sleeves, quite dissatisfied.
Wang Lei saw Lu Bu's expression, and then looked at Guo Jia, but saw Guo Jia squeezing his eyebrows, and smiled in his heart. Guo Jia's meaning, Wang Lei understands. In fact, Guo Jia agreed with Lu Bu to fight, but he was worried that Lu Bu would underestimate the enemy, so he made all the agitations and let Lu Bu meet the enemy carefully. Just as Wang Lei was about to give an order, suddenly, the voice of a soldier came from outside the hall.
"Report!"
The soldier quickly ran in, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "My lord, news has come back from the front, Zhao Yun, the general under the command of Gongsun Zhan, has led an army of 6,000 as the vanguard, and has set off from Beiping County to kill Wuji County. β
Brush!
Lu Bu's face instantly became cold and incomparable.
The eyes are full of war.
Lu Bu clenched his fists and said, "Please give the order of the lord!" β
Wang Lei waved his hand and let the soldiers who reported the news exit the hall. Turning his eyes, he shouted: "Lu Bu, Xin Bi listen to the order!" β
"The last general!"
"The minister is here!"
LΓΌ Bu and Xin Bi stood up one after another and saluted respectfully.
Among these two, Lu Bu is the commander of the Eagle Falcon Battalion, and Xin Bi is the person who assists Lu Bu. After the two of them got the order, they were quite excited, knowing that they were about to fight.
Wang Lei commanded: "Zhao Yun led the army to kill, and the two of you commanded the Eagle Falcon Battalion to meet Zhao Yun." β
"No!"
Lu Bu clenched his fists and turned to leave.
Xin Bi glanced at Guo Jia, smiled, and left the hall after Lu Bu.
The hall returned to calm, Wang Lei looked at Tai Shi Ci again, and said in a deep voice: "Tai Shi Ci listens to the order!" β
"The last general!"
Tai Shi Ci stood up and saluted respectfully.
Wang Lei instructed: "You dispatch 30,000 troops, lead the army north, and rush to Beiping County." β
"Yes!"
Tai Shi Ci nodded and immediately responded. Following Tai Shi Ci left were Gan Ning, Wen Chou and others, they were the generals who had been transferred to Tai Shi Ci before, and they were still serving under Tai Shi Ci in this battle.
β¦β¦
Lunu County was once the seat of Zhongshan State.
When Wang Lei served as the minister of Zhongshan, he moved the seat of governance of Zhongshan from Lunu County to Wuji County. Rao is so, but it has not affected the prosperity of Lunu County.
The county magistrate of Lunu County is named Lu Zhou, who is from a large local family.
Lu Zhou is honest and fair, and he is deeply supported by the people and has a very high prestige. When Wang Lei controlled Zhongshan Kingdom, and when Gongsun Zhan controlled Zhongshan Kingdom, it was Lu Zhou who served as the county commander of Lunu County.
County office, hall.
Lu Zhou's expression was solemn and he looked very embarrassed.
The staff sat on the left side of the hall and sighed: "My lord, Gongsun Chan sent Zhao Yun to lead six thousand vanguard troops, which have passed through Wangdu County and are heading to Lunu County to kill. Wang Zhoumu sent Lu Bu to lead a battalion of three thousand eagle falcons, and also rushed to Lunu County to kill. I sent someone to inquire, Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's righteous son in the past, and he killed countless people, Dong Zhuo died in the hands of Lu Bu, and later returned to Wang Zhoumu. The three thousand elites he led were not simple. β
Lu Zhou frowned and said in a deep voice: "I also understand Lu Bu's situation. The problem now is that after we return to Wangzhou, if Zhao Yun's army arrives in Lunu County first, what will we do? It's not that you don't know the situation in the county, Tian Kai has recruited troops several times, and the strength of the county is very weak, and it is very difficult to hold the county seat. β
The staff said, "What about the great clans in the city? Let them assist in defending the city. β
Lu Zhou snorted angrily: "It's almost impossible! The people of these big families are extremely cunning, and they don't care who arrives in Lunu County, as long as their safety can be guaranteed. β
The staff said: "In that case, then delay it a little longer." β
Lu Zhoudao: "What are the plans of the gentleman?" β
The staff said calmly: "There is no way to resist, then don't resist." Delay a little longer to see which side of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun arrives first. When the time comes, make a decision. β
Lu Zhou thought about it, and could only slow down for a while.
Procrastination is an opportunity!
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Just follow Mr.'s suggestion, don't say anything for the time being, and wait and see." β
"Report!"
A servant quickly ran in, saluted respectfully, and said, "County honor, the scout sent out has sent back the news." Zhao Yun in the north and Lu Bu in the south entered the territory of Lunu County at the same time. β
"Got it!"
The county magistrate waved his hand and asked the official to retire.
The staff member's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, I think I can order the return to Wang Zhoumu." Zhao Yun's 6,000 soldiers were infantry, and LΓΌ Bu's 3,000 Eagle Falcon battalion was cavalry. One north and one south rushed to the county seat, and the one who arrived at the county seat first must be Lu Bu. We are officials under the command of Wang Zhoumu, and when we hear the wind and return to obedience, we will definitely be accepted by Wang Zhoumu. β
Lu Zhou can govern a place, and some of the talents of governance, when it comes to strategic vision, are much worse, and said worriedly: "We have expressed our stance so early, what if Zhao Yun wins?" When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. β
The staff said: "Since Wang Zhoumu has risen, he has never lost, and I think he can win." β
Lu Zhou took a deep breath, looked at the staff with firm expressions, and finally nodded and said, "Mr. is so sure, then I will also gamble." According to the words of the gentleman, he ordered to return to the royal state pastor. At the same time, he called on the people of Lunu County to resist Zhao Yun's army and welcome Lu Bu's army. β
"No!"
After the staff got the order, they immediately went to make arrangements.
I have to say that the staff acted vigorously and resolutely, and in less than two hours, the news spread in the county seat. At the same time, a group of messengers were dispatched to inform the villages and cities of Lunu County of the news of Guishun.
When the people learned the news, they quickly reacted.
Lu Zhou has a high prestige in Lunu County and is loved by the people, so the people listen to Lu Zhou. Lu Yiyi ordered that the people in the north of Lunu County began to resist Zhao Yun's army.
Cinque Terre, located in the north of Lunu County.
After Zhao Yun led his army into Cinque Terre, halfway through, he encountered several waves of traps.
These traps are not complicated, but they are quite hidden.
Some traps are to dig a large pit directly on the official road, insert sharpened wooden stakes in the pit, and then cover it with leaves; Some moved a large rock on the road to block the road and delay the time to hurry; Or, just destroy the stone bridge on the road......
Various means made the speed of the army slow down.
After Zhao Yun verified the situation, he got the news that Lu Zhou returned to Wang Lei.
At the same time, I also learned the news of the resistance of the people.
In this situation, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Can a war, even if the people do not support it, can it be won? Zhao Yun was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and with the soldiers under his command, he moved forward steadily.
β¦β¦
Lu Bu led the Eagle Falcon Battalion and arrived at the county seat first. He accepted Lu Zhou's surrender, but did not enter the city, nor did he supply food in Lu Nu County, and continued straight north. There was Tai Shici's army coming from behind, and Lu Bu was not worried about his rear.
The Eagle Falcon Battalion advanced rapidly, and within a day and a half, the scouts under Lu Bu's command had already heard Zhao Yun's news. The scout rode in front of Lu Bu and reported: "General, Zhao Yun's six thousand soldiers are located in the northwest of us, less than thirty miles away from us. β
"Probe!"
As soon as Lu Bu waved his hand, the scout turned and left.
Immediately, Lu Bu looked at Xin Bi and asked, "George, how can we fight this battle?" β
Xin Bi smiled and said, "General Lu was born in Bingzhou, so he must know how the cavalry on the grassland fights. The Eagle Falcon battalion is all light cavalry, and the strength lies not in the frontal charge, but in the encirclement in all directions. In this battle, as long as the cavalry of the Eagle Falcon Battalion bit Zhao Yun's army to the death, they kept shooting and killing. This battle will be won. β
"Good advice!" The corners of Lu Bu's mouth rose, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and he ordered: "Pass the order, speed up, and approach Zhao Yun!" β
Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, pointing forward in the sky, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
β¦β¦
Zhao Yun led the army forward, and he also sent countless scouts to inquire about the news. When Lu Bu's Eagle Falcon battalion approached, Zhao Yun became vigilant, he himself was a person who was a white horse and was familiar with the characteristics of cavalry.
The cavalry was fierce and had to be well defended.
Once it can't be held, then it will definitely be defeated, and all Zhao Yun keeps giving orders. After completing the preparations, Zhao Yuncai led the army forward while waiting to confront Lu Bu.
