Chapter 214: Expedition to Anhui City
Pang Tong mentioned the Battle of Xiapi in front of Lu Bu.
He thought that Lu Bu would be a little annoyed.
But Lu Bu didn't seem to care at all, but also said that he not only wanted Jiangdong but also Xuzhou.
Lu Bu's words were very domineering, and everyone sitting there had a smile on the corner of their mouths.
However, Pang Tong did not.
He said to Lu Bu: "It's a good thing that Wen Hou has great talents, and when it's time to back down, it's better to back down." ”
"I see!" Lu Bu nodded and said to Pang Tong: "As long as Shi Yuan is willing to help me seize Jiangdong, I will move the administrative office to Wu County." ”
Pang Tong didn't tell Lu Bu exactly how to fight, but just put forward an overall strategy.
Lu Bu had already come to his senses.
Xuzhou and other places are located in the Jianghuai and Central Plains, and there are too many strong enemies nearby.
It's so hard to survive and grow in these places!
Seizing Jiangdong and using the Yangtze River to block a strong enemy is really a correct way of thinking for development.
Lu Bu stood up: "Pass the order, the army will set off today to pursue Sun Ce and crusade against Jiangdong!" ”
The order was given, and the army drove out of Shouchun City in the afternoon of the same day.
Lu Bu took Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and others to the expedition, and Shouchun was handed over to Yan Xiang and Ji Ling.
The two of them were officials in Shouchun, and the officials were not small.
The group of people who were working under Yuan Shu at the beginning, and who lost their official titles since Cao Cao won Huainan, went to the two of them one after another, intending to return to officialdom through the two.
Yan Xiang and Ji Ling, who stayed in Shouchun, were actually hot for a while.
Lu Bu, who led the army to leave Shouchun, rode a red rabbit at the front of the team.
Zhang Liao came up and asked, "Didn't Marquis Wen say that he would wait for the two generals Gao Shun and Sun Guan to lead the troops?" It is said that the two have led troops into Xuzhou. ”
"Send someone to send an order to them, let Gao Shun lead the army to chase after us, Sun Guan stay in Pengcheng, and work with Zang Ba to cooperate with Chen Gongtai to be responsible for the defense of the city." Lu Bu said: "We don't need so many people to crusade against Jiangdong. ”
"I'll arrange for someone to do it." Zhang Liao responded.
"What's wrong with Zhou Tai?" Lu Bu suddenly asked.
Zhao Yun next to him replied: "According to Wen Hou's instructions, someone built a prisoner cart, which will be sitting in the prisoner cart." ”
Ordering Zhao Yun and the others to continue to advance with the army, Lu Bu turned around and walked towards the prisoner cart.
When he came to the prisoner car, he saw Zhou Tai sitting inside, holding his hands on his knees and looking into the distance.
Zhou Tai is also a fierce general in the world, and he fought with Lu Bu, but if he can't beat it, that's for sure.
can be caught by Lu Bu, which really makes him feel aggrieved.
"General Zhou, what are you looking at?" When he came to the prisoner car, Lu Bu asked.
didn't look at him, Zhou Tai replied: "Do I have to tell Wen Hou what I see?" ”
"There's nothing in the distance, and it doesn't matter if you say it or not." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm only interested in the general, not what the general is looking at." ”
Zhou Tai turned his head to look at Lu Bu with chagrin on his face: "Wen Hou has already captured me, just ask if you want to ask." After asking, just kill, why humiliate me like this? ”
"I humiliated General Zhou?" Obviously locked people in the prisoner car, Lu Bu said with an aggrieved face: "When have I ever humiliated a general? ”
"Wen Hou doesn't think he's humiliating me?" Zhou Tai stood up, and he shook the fence twice vigorously: "Imprisoned me in a cage, and said that there was no humiliation?" ”
"It's not right for General Zhou to say that." Lu Bu grinned: "I'm also doing this for the good of the general." If the general doesn't like it, I can have you released. It's just that after being released, the general's life is indeed worried. If the general wants to run, my soldiers will not fail to fire arrows. For the sake of the general, I can only do this, please forgive me. ”
Zhou Tai was suddenly full of black lines.
Putting people in a prison car, Lu Bu can actually say that it is for his good......
It was the first time he had seen someone as shameless and making excuses as Lu Bu.
Zhou Tai didn't say anything, but Lu Bu smiled: "If I were General Zhou, I'd rather sit in this car." You don't have to ride a horse, you don't have to walk a hundred miles like a soldier. Except for some bumps, it was more comfortable than us. ”
Zhou Tai was locked up in a prison car, and Lu Bu could actually tell how comfortable he was along the way.
If he hadn't been able to beat Lu Bu and was locked up in a prison car, Zhou Tai really wanted to slap him twice.
Annoyed to turn his face to the side, Zhou Tai ignored him anymore.
Lu Bu seemed to be in a good mood and rode back to the front of the group.
"What did Wen Hou do when he went to see Zhou Tai?" Zhang Liao asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm worried that he's going down in a bad mood." Lu Bu replied: "I chatted with him a few words just now, and my mental state is fine. ”
"I really don't understand, Zhou Tai is just a prisoner, why does Wen Hou have to take him with him when he fights?" Chen Zhi said: "I recruited twice, and if I refuse to surrender, I just kill ......."
"How can a fierce general like Zhou Tai be killed." Lu Bu smiled: "Wait until I capture Zhou Yu, and then let Zhou Yu convince him well." Being able to recruit Zhou Tai under the account will also be an extra boost in the future. ”
Several generals looked at each other and were noncommittal to Lu Bu's statement.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have a very close relationship, and it is not easy to entrap him.
And Zhou Tai is a fierce general by Zhou Yu's side.
It is impossible to persuade Zhou Tai to surrender, and it is even more foolish to persuade Zhou Yu to persuade Zhou Tai to surrender.
The generals did not agree with Lu Bu's idea, but none of them said it.
After all, no one was willing to touch Lu Bu's moldy head and spoil his good mood.
After Hefei and entering the Chaohu area, the terrain gradually became complicated.
The south of the Lujiang River is mostly mountainous.
The mountains and forests are undulating, and you can still see the flat land in Huainan, but when you get here, you can see connected mountains and rivers everywhere on the way to the march.
The fresh breath is blowing in the face, and the wind is more fierce than Huainan.
It has entered autumn, and the people who are blowing in the cool breeze are cold, and some soldiers subconsciously shrink their necks.
The south is colder than the north, only theoretically.
The weather in the north is dry, and the invasion of dry and cold air is not as strong as the wet and cold experience in the Jianghuai area.
The southern waterways of the Lujiang River are vertical and horizontal, and the cool breeze blowing on the face is more likely to make people get goosebumps.
Walking at the front of the team with a halberd, Lu Bu felt the wind a little cooler: "Seeing that winter is approaching, we have to break through Anhui City as soon as possible and prepare winter clothes for the soldiers." ”
Speaking of winter clothes, Lu Bu, who has lived in this era for some time, remembered that every winter, people use silk cotton or linen cotton to keep out the cold, and there is no cotton that will be all over the world in later generations.
Compared with cotton, the cost of silk cotton is expensive, and the cold protection effect of hemp cotton is relatively poor.
Sooner or later, cotton can be introduced, which is also a good way to make money!
Lu Bu led the army to advance to Anhui City, and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others, who retreated to Anhui City, were also preparing for a counterattack at this time.
