Chapter 325: People are not satisfied, they have to be long, and they look back at Shuhu!
Chun Yuqiong fled, Wen Chou died in battle, and the remaining Yuan soldiers were leaderless. After fighting all night, Lu Bu can be said to have won a lot of results. The only pity is that most of the important generals in Yuan's camp retreated ahead of schedule. Yuan Shao only left Chun Yuqiong and 5,000 soldiers and horses behind him as suspicious soldiers. Those movements in the daytime were indeed not caused by Yuan Jun's pretense of momentum, but deliberately, and their purpose was to confuse Lu Bu.
But the world is impermanent, and this pretense did not confuse Lu Bu. On the contrary, it made Chun Yuqiong's heart calm and unguarded. Under Lu Bu's surprise attack, there was no time to react. Of these 5,000 doubtful soldiers, more than 2,000 were killed in battle, and the rest were all captured by Lu Bu!
Either way, it's a big win. These 5,000 soldiers and horses were all wiped out, and their lord will flee in panic in Qiongcang! And the injured Wen Chou was also left behind, but he gave Lu Bu a head!
Speaking of which, if a senior general like Wen Chou hadn't been injured, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stayed behind. Of course, if the injured Wen Chou didn't want to be in a hurry to avenge Yan Liang, I'm afraid it would not be a problem to escape. All kinds of reasons are combined, so there is this scene of Lu Bu killing Wen Chou.
Although it was a big victory, Lu Bu still wanted to continue to pursue Yuan's army and expand the victory. He was now 100% sure that Yuan Shao must have learned the news of the danger of this Yecheng. In this way, Yuan Shao will definitely let the soldiers go to Yecheng day and night to fight the fire, then there will definitely be those who fall behind in the rear army. If Lu Bu can catch up, he will definitely be able to get a lot of things.
It's just that as soon as this idea came to mind, Jia Xu persuaded him, "The lord is now defeating Yuan Jun, killing Yan Liang, punishing Wen Chou, and Yuan Jun knows the power of the lord!" Why should the lord be greedy and want to continue to pursue Yuan Jun? I expect that Yuan's army will have a follow-up, and if the lord insists on pursuing, I am afraid that it will only increase casualties......"
In the smoke of gunpowder, Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu, and began to think about gains and losses in his heart. What Jia Xu said is indeed good, if he continues to pursue, it will not be good if he is really ambushed. And Lu Bu felt that Jia Xu had a full grasp of this person's heart. Zhang Xiu did not follow Jia Xu's plan, and the previous pursuit of Cao's army was defeated, and then from Jia Xu's plan, the latter pursued Cao's army and won a big victory. Under the entanglement of chasing or not chasing, Jia Xu should indeed be believed.
"People are not satisfied, they have to be long, and they look back at Shuhu! Wen and you are right, now that our army has won a great victory, why be greedy? ”
Lu Bu sighed lightly, "It's a pity that I didn't do my best this time, and all the Yuan army was wiped out here!" ”
"It is not easy for the lord to defeat Yuan Shao's strong brigade with a weak pawn. In this battle of Lu Yuan, the lord caught the turtle in the urn, killed Yan Liang and burned more than 10,000 soldiers of the Yuan army, and then punished Wen Chou, covering the 5,000 elites of the Yuan army, who can have such a feat? Before this battle, Yuan was strong and I was weak, and after this battle, Yuan was weak and I was strong! As long as Xun Nian is concerned, the lord will definitely be able to annihilate Yuan's army and capture Jizhou! ”
Jia Xu comforted Lu Bu.
The first battle of Lu Yuan was brought to an end, even though Lu Bu had a big defeat like the Battle of Baiqiu, there were also big victories such as burning Yan Liang and killing Wen Chou. Strategically speaking, this first battle of Lü Yuan undoubtedly ended with Lü Bu's victory. The situation of this battle was that Lü Bu poured all his troops to quickly sweep away the Xiongnu in the north, and Yuan Shao took advantage of Lü Bu's conquest of the Xiongnu to send 50,000 troops to conquer and annex the state, intending to sweep away Lü Bu in one fell swoop. But in such a critical situation, Lu Bu was able to quickly sweep away the troubles of the Huns, and fought with Yuan Jun with tired soldiers, trying to ensure that Jinyang was not lost, and even in the battle of confrontation between the two sides, he turned defeat into victory and won big victories one after another. Killing Yan Liang and punishing Wen Chou caused Yuan Jun to suffer heavy casualties.
On the other hand, the battle situation in Hanoi was also good, as an army that echoed Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not conquer Hanoi, led troops north, and joined forces with Yuan Shao. Both battlefields can be regarded as victories.
Moreover, this battle of Lü Yuan was a conquest initiated by Yuan Shao. The war started in the situation that Yuan attacked Lu Shou and Yuan was strong and Lu was weak. If Lu Bu can block Yuan Shao's expedition, it can be regarded as a victory. What's more, Lu Bu still won several big victories in this situation, killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and killing Yuan Shao's two generals! Such a record can be said to be no less than Yuan Shao's Battle of Jieqiao and Cao Cao's Battle of Kuangting, a battle where the weak defeated the strong, and even surpassed it.
After this battle, Jia Xu is even more sure that Lu Bu can achieve a hegemony! This time, Lu Bu defeated no one else, it was Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke! The generation of heroes who established his hegemony in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge. The strategists under his command, such as the likes of Tian Feng and Xu Yu, are all wise men in the world, and Yan Liangwen is ugly, and he is also a famous general in the world. This time, Yuan Shao's luxurious lineup of conquering Lu Bu was no less than that of Gongsun Zhan, the northern male lord in the battle of the boundary bridge. But the results of these two wars are like worlds apart. Doesn't all this just show the ability of Lu Bu's group?
"Wenhe's words make me feel very comforted!"
Lu Bu walked on the scorched earth, looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, his eyes were like torches, and he pointed at them with a horsewhip and said, "With such soldiers and advisers like Wen He, why worry about my great cause being uncertain and his hegemony not thriving!" ”
"Hahaha-"
Jia Xu smiled.
Their pair of lords and ministers praised each other, and they also understood this in their hearts. Even if these words between them are exaggerated, they are also showing off from the victors!
Lü Bu finally obeyed Jia Xu's plan and did not pursue the retreating Yuan army.
Dozens of miles away, in a narrow valley.
The Yuan army in charge of the broken rear ambushed both sides of the valley! The whole valley is full of people and flags. This was a necessary route for the retreat of Yuan's army, and if Lü Bu chose to continue the pursuit, he would definitely pass through this place nine times out of ten. It's just that from sunset to dark, I didn't see the shadow of a soldier Lu.
"Retire—"
Frustrated and looked at the sunset that was about to set, and the melancholy in his heart didn't know who to say to that the battle of Lu Yuan was over. But this ending is far from the ending he wants to see.
"Frustrated by the prison army, the soldiers and horses of the Lu army have not yet chased......
Beside Fu Zhi, Zhang He's mighty body stood upright.
"Lu Jun won't chase after him."
He shook his head in frustration, "Chun Yuqiong is incompetent, it's a pity that the five thousand soldiers...... If the commander of the camp is you, I'm afraid we don't need to set up an ambush here......"
Zhang He's face smiled a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer the frustrated words. He knew that Fu Zhi had recommended him many times in front of Yuan Shao. The personal relationship between the two of them is also good, perhaps because the two of them have been under Han Fu.
"Retire!"
After complaining, his tone suddenly became a little cold, "Those people who have been wrapped in it will also make them march quickly!" What you can give up, you can give up! ”
"No!"
Zhang He's body was shocked!
These wrapped people undoubtedly greatly reduced the marching speed of Yuan's army. Yuan Shao was in a hurry to save Yecheng, and he didn't want to take these looted people from all over the world to heart. But only Frustration insisted on wrapping these people in Jizhou. The road is difficult and dangerous, and I don't know how many will fall along the way. Now that he is in a hurry to march, I am afraid that the casualties will increase again.
It's just that in the current situation, it is naturally impossible for them to march slowly. It was also a last resort to make such a decision.
That deep gaze looked in the direction of Jinyang, and he let out a breath of turbidity! After this battle, Lu Bu's threat in his eyes was even worse than that of Gongsun Zhan! When he offered his strategy to Yuan Shao, there was no such sudden existence as Lu Bu. Today's Lu Bu can definitely be regarded as Yuan Shao's strong enemy.
Lu Bu is not dead, Yuan Shao is uneasy!
