Chapter 77: Don't Let Them Sleep Peacefully
Liu Bei's howl came from the head of Guangling City.
Lu Bu got off the horse and looked back: "What do you think Liu Bei is crying about?" β
"If I were him, I would be stimulated like this, and I would have the mind to die." Ji Ling said: "What Wen Hou said made Liu Xuande sad even more than sending troops to attack Guangling. β
"The army has been stationed, when does Wen Hou plan to attack the city?" Zhang Liao asked.
Looking at Guangling City, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth: "Let Liu Bei cry first, crying is not smooth, and it is easy to hold back the problem." I'm still more understanding, wouldn't it be too inhumane to take possession of his woman and not allow him to cry again? β
Zhang Liao and Ji Ling smiled.
Ji Ling had been in contact with Lu Bu before, and although he didn't know much about him, he could also feel that Lu Bu today was very different from the past.
The one who felt it the most was Zhang Liao.
Since the Battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu has completely changed as a person.
The transformation of middle age into teenager can be seen at a glance, but there are other deeper changes.
Although Lu Bu was not as short-sighted as the outside world said, his strategic vision was indeed much worse than today.
Although he took Xuzhou from Liu Bei, Lu Bu did not get too many benefits.
Especially when Cao Cao crusaded later, he almost destroyed him!
If it weren't for the sudden change in his temperament, leading a cavalry to attack Cao's army at night, Xiapi might have been gone.
For a long time, Zhang Liao felt very confused.
He didn't know what the way out was.
Lu Bu once reused Wei Xu and others, knowing that he and Gao Shun were not small, but they refused to appoint important positions.
It wasn't until one day that Lu Bu suddenly invited him, Chen Gong and Gao Shun to discuss how to deal with the rebellion of Wei Xu and others, and he really became the core of Lu Bu's forces.
Zhang Liao didn't know that Lu Bu, who asked him to discuss dealing with Wei Xu and the others, was no longer the person he was familiar with.
Liu Bei howled for a while, and was finally persuaded by Mi Fang and Chen Deng to go down the city.
Several guards escorted Liu Bei back to the Guangling official mansion.
Chen Deng and Mi Fang watched Liu Bei go away, and turned to look at Lu Bu's army outside the city.
LΓΌ Bu ordered to be stationed, and the army had no intention of attacking the city.
"Guangling is only more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and there are no brave generals in the city." Chen Deng frowned and said, "If Lu Bu launches an attack, he may not be able to hold it for a long time. β
"Judging by his formation, there are only three or four thousand people." Mi Fang said: "Our army only needs to defend to the death, and it is not easy for him to break through Guangling. β
"I heard that Lu Bu didn't put much effort into breaking Xiao Pei." Chen Deng said: "Xiaopei once stationed a lot of soldiers and horses, and it is much more difficult to break through there than to attack Guangling. β
"It was supposed to be like this, but Uncle Huang's soldiers and horses were all folded in Xiapi." Mi Fang replied: "The Xiaopei defenders are all improvised people, and many people don't even know how to use their lances, how can they be Lu Bu's opponents?" β
Looking left and right, he continued: "The Guangling garrison is different, the soldiers here are all veterans brought to the battlefield by Taishou back then, although the number is not large, but they are rare elites. Lu Bu wanted to take this place, but it was not as easy as taking away Xiao Pei. β
A light smile appeared on the corner of Chen Deng's mouth, and he didn't say anything more.
Although Mi Fang's analysis made sense, Chen Deng didn't think that things were really as simple as he said.
Lu Bu did not give the order to attack, and Chen Deng always felt that he was brewing something.
After observing for a long time, Chen Deng didn't see what unusual deployment Lu Bu had.
Lu Bu, who was stationed outside the city, sat in the tent.
Zhang Liao, Ji Ling, and several lieutenants sat on either side of the tent.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Bu's face.
"You have all dealt with Chen Deng in the past." Lu Bu's gaze swept over everyone's faces: "You all know his ability. Can anyone say how our army should break through Guangling? β
Including Zhang Liao and Ji Ling, everyone looked at each other.
"Warm." After a while, no one came up with a way to break through Guangling, Zhang Liao got up: "Chen Yuanlong is not a vain person. He still has some skills, and the defenders of Guangling are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. I'm afraid it's not that easy to break through Guangling. β
"What's not easy?" Ji Ling stood up: "I also know Chen Yuanlong, he does have some small ability, but if you want to say that he is a big talent, he doesn't." There are no fierce generals in Guangling, and the defenders are no more than a thousand. Our army only needs to build a siege tower, and General Wen Yuan and I will lead the troops to the city! β
Zhang Liao and Ji Ling had a difference of opinion, but Lu Bu did not intervene.
The lieutenants who belonged to the two of them also supported their own generals with nonsense.
After they argued for a while, Lu Bu asked, "Can you allow me to say something?" β
Everyone hurriedly shut up.
"It is imperative to storm Guangling." Lu Bu said: "If Chen Deng does not die, I will never be able to be stable. It's just that this time I don't want you to lead troops to attack the city, but I will personally go into battle. β
"Siege is no better than anything else." Zhang Liao hurriedly persuaded: "In case Wen Hou has three long and two short ......"
"Po Guangling and kill Chen Deng in order to establish authority, of course, I have to personally lead the troops to attack the city." Lu Bu said: "As for the two generals, there are more important things for you to do. In Xiaopei, we let Liu Bei go, and now he is useless, no matter who sees him, there is no mercy for killing! β
knew that Lu Bu could not be persuaded by it, so everyone had to respond.
It was still early when the army arrived.
Lu Bujun did not make any movement throughout the afternoon.
When night fell, Chen Deng, who was guarding the city for a moment and did not dare to leave, felt that his eyes were a little dry.
Mentally overly nervous, always on guard against Lu Bu's siege, in just one afternoon, Chen Deng felt tired.
The night is like a black veil, covering Guangling in it.
Torches were lit every few steps on the walls.
The flames fluttered and whirred in the evening breeze.
The light of the torches did not shine on Lu Bu's army outside the city, but completely exposed the city wall in front of Lu Bu's eyes.
"If Lu Bu doesn't come during the day, maybe he'll come at night." Walking on the city wall, Chen Deng shouted: "Cheer me up, don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes." β
The defenders all held their heads high and looked directly at the camp of the Lu Bu army.
At the edge of the camp, Lu Bu looked at the Guangling city wall, which was reflected in black and white by torches.
"Warm." Zhang Liao came behind him: "The night is deep, isn't it ......?"
"No!" Lu Bu said: "Pass the order, the horn will blow again tonight, and the defenders will be nervous first." β
"Blowing the trumpet and not attacking the city?" Zhang Liao looked puzzled.
"Harassing people to sleep, do you have to go up and pinch them in the face?" Lu Bu said with a smile: "The enemy and our soldiers are full of spirit tonight, once the battle starts, our army attacking the city will definitely suffer." Let them sleep in fear all night, and wait until tomorrow to wait for the opportunity. β
Zhang Liao immediately understood what Lu Bu meant: "I'll go and give the order!" β
