Chapter 418: The Day of the Expedition Has Finally Come
Lu Bu slept with his wives that night, only saying that early the next morning, the generals were waiting in the barracks early, and LΓΌ Bu did not come to the barracks until dawn.
The generals waited at Yuanmen, and when they saw Lu Bu coming, they bowed to him and bowed to him: "I've seen the Marquis of Chu." β
"Are the soldiers ready?" When he entered the barracks, Lu Bu asked.
"It's been ready for a long time." Zhou Yu replied: "The soldiers have been waiting in the school field for a long time, just waiting for Chu Hou to give an order. β
"Follow me to the soldiers." Lu Bu greeted, and everyone followed him into the barracks.
When he came to the school grounds, Lu Bu saw the soldiers lined up in a neat array, waiting there.
The Pengcheng military camp is not all the soldiers under Lu Bu's command, there are only tens of thousands of people stationed here, and more soldiers are driven from all over the country, gathered in the predetermined place, and then killed to Xudu.
Lu Bu led the generals to the high platform of the school field, and his gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers.
Every soldier on the school field, their eyes were focused on his face, waiting for him to speak.
"You should have been ordered." Lu Bu shouted to the soldiers: "Today I will lead you to the expedition to defeat Cao Cao!" β
"Chu Hou is mighty!" After Cao Cao's crusade, the soldiers had long been eager to fight back, and they raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
Lu Bu raised his hand and pressed it, then shouted to them, "I know that many of you hate Cao Cao, who has repeatedly attacked us and caused us to suffer a lot. From me down, there was no one who didn't want Cao Cao to taste the same taste, so I decided to go on an expedition knowing that my military strength was not superior to Cao Cao's. Tell me, do you have the faith that you can break the enemy with me? β
"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison.
Lu Bu nodded, and then said: "It's good that you have faith, what I'm most afraid of is that even you don't have confidence!" Our soldiers and horses may not be as many as Cao Cao, Xuzhou may not be as rich as Yuzhou, and our ordnance may not be as sophisticated as theirs. But I am confident that I can defeat Cao Cao, after all, I have dealt with dozens of Cao army generals with the strength of one person. If I can do it, you will definitely be able to fight into Xu Capital with me and destroy Cao Cao! β
The soldiers let out another cheer.
"I won't talk to you much nonsense." Lu Bu waved his hand: "Let's go!" β
The soldiers who had been ready for a long time lined up and drove out of the barracks amid the shouts of several captains.
Lu Bu greeted the generals, mounted his war horse, and walked on the side of the army.
"Because the armor has delayed these times, the best time for the Marquis of Chu to crusade against Cao Cao has passed." Zhou Yu said to Lu Bu: "He must have made arrangements, and this expedition is not so easy." β
"Of course I know it's not that easy." Lu Bu said: "But I must crusade against Cao Cao, as long as there is him in the world, I will not have a peaceful son." This decisive battle will come sooner or later, and what is the difference between a day earlier and a day later? β
Zhou Yu frowned slightly and didn't say anything more.
Lu Bu's army drove out of Pengcheng and marched in the direction of Dangshan.
There were also many wagons that followed the army.
The Air Force gliders were pulled by horse-drawn carts, and balloons flew in mid-air, following the army.
Since forming an alliance with Yuan Shao, Lu Bu has been thinking about crusading against Cao Cao, and now he has finally waited for this day.
