Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lu Bu's Revenge
Liu Zhang knew that he couldn't persuade Gao Shun, and it was a pity to kill him, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to do something like letting the tiger return to the mountain, so he had to be put up first, grind slowly, and persuade slowly, maybe in the future, he would see too much of what Lu Bu did, and he couldn't say if he would loosen up.
"Since this is the case, it is not difficult for people to be forced in the lower camp, so please ask General Gao to temporarily aggrieved and stay in the lower camp! But General Zhang has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and it is of great use to the generals, and he can't stay here, and General Gao will inevitably be bored alone...... In this way, General Hua Xionghua is invited here to be a companion to General Gao, so as to pass the time! ”
Gao Shun was noncommittal, Liu Zhang didn't say much, and after saying goodbye, he led Zhang Liao and others away, and soon Huaxiong was brought to Gao Shun as a companion.
When leaving, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but couldn't help but secretly rejoice, one of his favorite generals (Zhang Ren and Gao Shun) did not agree to serve, in fact, it was also in his expectation, in history Cao Cao captured Gao Shun alive and failed to persuade him, he did not think that his personality charm was comparable to the famous Emperor Wei Wu, so he had already prepared for a protracted war, he believed that sincerity and gold and stone were open! What's more, he also won Zhang Liao, one of the five good generals of Cao Wei, this is definitely not a consolation general, but a special prize! Zhang Liao, one of the five sons of Cao Wei, can know his prestige only by talking about a classic, "Wei Luo" contains "Zhang Liao is surrounded by Sun Quan, Liao broke out, re-entered, and the power was broken. "Single-handedly shocking the entire Sun Wu and making the child stop crying, do you need to say anything else?
After Lu Bu returned to Bishui Pass, he realized that he had been tricked, although there were no losses in the soldiers and horses, but the two most powerful generals under his command were trapped in the enemy camp, and what made him especially angry was that he, who had always regarded himself very highly, actually cut a big heel in front of a yellow-mouthed child! As soon as he returned to the gate, he began to gather his forces, preparing to deal a huge blow to the coalition forces, and to shame the snow today.
On the third day, Lu Bu integrated the soldiers and horses, with Cao Xing as the vanguard, and Hao Meng commanded the grain and grass of the rear army, and came from the camp of the coalition army with the mighty killing of the Chinese army.
As soon as Lu Bu's soldiers and horses left the Bishui Pass, the sentry spies set up by the coalition army had already returned to the camp.
This time, Lu Bu came for a decisive battle, and sent more than 115,000 troops, including 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry, 30,000 Xiliang cavalry, and the rest were the old army of Luoyang. The enemy forward has a total of 5,000 people, all elite cavalry, and the marching speed is very fast, when Liu Dai got the news of Lu Bu's troops, less than a pillar of incense, the sentry on the guard tower sounded the alarm bell of the enemy's approach.
Liu Zhang and a group of civil and military officials were about to meet the princes to discuss countermeasures, Zhang Liao said with some uneasiness: "Childe, the last general and Feng Xian have intersected for several years, although Feng Xian is unjust, but he has the grace of knowing the last general, the last general really does not want to meet him on the battlefield, please forgive me!" ”
Liu Zhang didn't care, and said: "Wen Yuan misses the old feelings, he is a man of faith, and I don't allow it!" Wen Yuan stayed in the back camp and took care of the camp! ”
Zhang Liao bowed gratefully: "Thank you, son!" ”
Liu Zhang nodded and led everyone to leave quickly.
Cao Xing stopped moving forward about three miles before arriving at Dazhai, and the scouts and cavalry scattered to guard and probe in case the enemy was ambushed, and the rest of the soldiers and horses began to set up camp, as if they wanted to take root in front of the coalition army.
Liu Dai Shuai's tent has exploded, Lu Bu was obviously here to take revenge, if he ventured into battle, only 40,000 wolf cavalry could defeat all the troops arranged here by the coalition army, once the formation of the coalition army was disrupted, the infantry stepped forward to take over the cavalry to "clean" the battlefield, and the cavalry broke away from the battle, ready to plug the leak, and did not teach the coalition army to flee one soldier at a time; If you avoid a fight and are provoked by it day and night, the morale of the army will plummet, and the coalition army may be in danger of collapsing without a fight in a few days!
At this time, everyone couldn't help but think of one person - Liu Zhang! But Liu Zhang's face was embarrassed, and he said very shamefully that he couldn't do anything, in his words, he was a major general, and in the face of the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, his little soldiers and horses couldn't even hold out for a round! Fighter? No, the three generals under his command fought with Lu Bu and others, and suffered a lot of internal injuries, so they couldn't exert their strength for the time being, and naturally they couldn't go to the battlefield, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and Xu Chu coughed a few times when they heard Liu Zhang's words, and looked terminally ill.
Everyone naturally didn't believe it, just now the three of them were still alive and well, and they couldn't do it all of a sudden, who could believe it? But since the alliance, Liu Zhang's subordinates have indeed made great contributions, and it is difficult for everyone to force him to send troops, the important thing is that Liu Dai is very grateful to this nephew, and he is not willing to let him suffer heavy losses, after all, everyone is a descendant of the Liu family!
Only Yuan Shao couldn't wait for Liu Zhang to die, so he praised Liu Zhang's good command and mighty soldiers, and said that Lu Bu's army was just a rabble, especially the old army in Luoyang was even more vulnerable, and once he faced Liu Zhang's army, he would definitely turn around and flee! Liu Zhang will not be instigated by it, immediately refuted, since the Lu Bujun is so vulnerable, he asked the original prince to lead the troops to meet the enemy, the four clans of the Yuan family and the three dukes, the virtue and ability are unparalleled, the sages of the Yuan family are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and now the Han is in danger, it is the time when the Yuan family comes forward, the original male soldier is 30,000, a in the princes, and Dong, Lu and a sea of blood feud (his uncle's family let Dong Zhuo destroy the door), in the public and private, the original prince should lead the elite soldiers to destroy the stubborn enemy, if the original prince is willing to be the vanguard, then he is willing to follow the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, Work together with the original prince to meet the enemy army.
Yuan Shao looked at the somewhat strange faces of the princes, and was about to agree to send troops to fight, but reason still prevailed over emotion, and he retreated to the side with a pale face and a sneer.
In the days since the alliance, Sun Jian has seen through the hearts of the people, his fiery heart has been poured cold by disappointment again and again, he understands that if he fights again, he is afraid that no one will come to the rescue when he encounters danger, and no one will supplement the losses suffered, he can't help but be glad that he swept Wancheng with his heart and collected a large amount of grain and grass, otherwise his soldiers and horses may have fallen into a food panic at this time (although Yanzhou is rich, it is very serious due to the disaster of the Yellow Turban, and the people's livelihood has not been fully recovered, Suddenly, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses poured in, and the daily consumption of materials was more than 600,000 catties, Liu Dai racked his brains, there was still a big gap, when the rain and dew could not be evenly wet, he had to make a choice, like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan and others could not be offended, Kong Rong, Tao Qian and others were extremely famous among the scholars, and they were not easy to deduct, Liu Zhang was his own son and nephew, and he pushed himself to the throne of the leader of the alliance with his own strength, and he could not make him feel cold. After calculating, in the end, Sun Jian and others were unlucky, and the daily grain and grass they could receive were less than sixty percent, and many soldiers were often hungry), so he also became shrewd when he dared to fight and rush, and he was no longer willing to be cannon fodder for everyone, and he stayed aside and did not speak.
Cao Cao had seen the power of Lu Bu as early as Luoyang, thinking that he was only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and it was not enough for people to stuff their teeth when he went up, so he quieted down.
