Chapter 806: Make an agreement with Lu Bu
Zhang Yu was mainly steady, and although he understood that it was impossible for the enemy to sneak out of the city to attack them, he still marched slowly, step by step.
At the beginning of Zhang Yu's planned attack, a large number of siege equipment had been made in Chao County, and they took several days to arrive at the battlefield with siege equipment.
Yu Ban was the vanguard, with an army of 50,000, and all the strongholds along the road were uprooted.
"Lord, we expect to arrive outside Hefei in five days, and Sun Ce and the others expect us to be two to three days late." Gao Shun came over to report and said.
This time, they had an army of 200,000 troops, and an army of 50,000 was led by Zang Ba to garrison Chao County.
On the way, the situation of the enemy forces has basically been figured out.
Lu Bu led 200,000 troops to be stationed in Hefei City, in Lu'an City, there were other Yuan army generals stationed in 300,000, and the last 400,000 troops were stationed in Shouchun City under the command of Ji Ling, and the rest were scattered with more than 100,000 troops stationed in various cities, but at this time they were almost wiped out.
The three armies came to these places in three ways.
And no one in Lu'an City has been attacking for the time being, but has sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to contain it.
Zhang Yu and the others marched step by step, and the progress was smooth, and there was indeed no enemy to attack along the way.
If he came to attack, Zhang Yu was not afraid, with Gao Shun here, the army would not jump, even if Lu Bu came, what would matter.
The last time he attacked Xuzhou, Gao Shun had already avoided Lu Bu, and this time, Gao Shun not only did not evade, but also took the initiative to ask for battle.
Last time, it was affection, but this time Lu Bu took refuge in Yuan Shu, not only did he exhaust his morality, but he also exhausted his affection.
Gao Shun is determined, the previous love was love, but now it is a matter of position, and it must not be mixed together.
The road was calm, and Zhang Yu led more than 200,000 troops to a place dozens of miles outside Hefei with great fanfare.
"Set up a temporary camp, Gao Shun led the army to escort it, the scouts scattered for thirty miles, and the rest rested." After dark, Zhang Yu ordered to be stationed.
Here close to the enemy, can not be careless.
There was no word all night, and no enemy came to sneak attack.
Lu Bu in Hefei City wanted to sneak attack the enemy, but he no longer had a military advisor, he was afraid of being ambushed, and he was very worried about not having Chen Gong to help him defend the city after he left the city.
The next day, Zhang Yu continued to move forward and went directly to Hefei City, thirty miles away.
"To build a strong camp, it is necessary not only to defend the front, but also to the sides and rear." Zhang Yu said.
The enemy is not only Lu Bu, strictly speaking, this Sun Ce is also his place.
Outside Xuzhou City, the three families of Cao Yuanzhang have hurt each other several times, and it is difficult to guarantee that this situation will not occur this time.
Camping thirty miles away can effectively prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.
A large amount of grain and grass must be hoarded here, and the defense must be strong.
"Evil, follow me to meet Lu Bu." Zhang Yu called Dian Wei and said.
The two set out with 50,000 cavalry guards.
The sound of horses' hooves, this is the war drum that Zhang Yu began to change from passive defense to active attack.
Thirty miles, the cavalry can reach it in less than half an hour.
Outside the city, the enemy was already in battle.
"Let's go, go around."
Zhang Yu led the cavalry, and in a spectacular way, the elite lineup went around.
Lu Bu at the head of the city watched this process, and his heart was mixed.
After he took refuge in Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu used the lack of elite in the army to disperse the veterans to various armies to strengthen their combat effectiveness, and separated Lu Bu's remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, leaving him only 5,000 personal guards.
Lu Bu was very helpless, he had no room for bargaining when he fled in embarrassment.
At this time, although he had an army of 200,000, he was not an elite, of course, the weapons and equipment were complete, and he had also been trained for several months.
However, in the 200,000 army, his generals were also insufficient, and he failed to train effectively, and there was a big gap with the elite.
Lu Bu was envious, how many elite soldiers he had in his hands at the beginning, but now he can only lead a group of miscellaneous soldiers.
He was very envious that Zhang Yu had a large number of elite soldiers, and men went to the battlefield, so that they could be happy and revengeful.
"Lu Bu, don't talk about going to the city."
After turning around, Zhang Yu shouted to Lu Bu at the head of the city.
"Okay." Lu Bu agreed without even thinking about it.
LΓΌ Bu went out of the city with five thousand guards.
The two armies confronted each other under the city, while Zhang Yu went out alone, and Lu Bu also went out alone, and the two met under the city.
"General Lu, we meet again." Zhang Yu said in a simple opening remarks.
Lu Bu said: "There is no need to say anything about persuasion. β
"Naturally, although General Lu has been defeated, it is not that you are not good at force and cannot lead the army, but that you have been isolated and weak. General Lu's ability alone must be respected. Zhang Yu said.
Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Yu unexpectedly and didn't speak.
Zhang Yu said again: "But General Lu also has to admit defeat, and there is no excuse for failure." Now this king has made an agreement with General Lu, and I don't know if General Lu will dare to agree. β
"Please."
"If you are defeated by me again, surrender to me." Zhang Yu looked at Lu Bu and said firmly.
"Hahaha~" Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Zhang Yu, although Benhou has failed repeatedly, he has always looked down on you, do you really think that I will surrender to you?" β
"Yes, I can give General Lu the best home, and I can also give General Lu a reason to live."
This time, Lu Bu was even more surprised, because he did report his death.
It was impossible for Lu Bu to surrender to others again, this time he only cooperated with Yuan Shu, and did not surrender directly to him and became his subordinate.
He is already a slave with three surnames, and if he can't establish his power again, he will definitely not be anyone's subordinate.
This is Lu Bu's own decision, and Zhang Yu can actually understand him?
"Is the public station good?"
"He doesn't want to go out, and now he teaches at my Jiangdong Academy." Zhang Yu said truthfully.
Lu Bu sighed and said: "The most sorry thing is the public platform, he has great talents, Jiangdong Academy is indeed a good home." β
Lu Bu has always been ashamed of Chen Gong, if he can all believe in Chen Gong's arrangement, he will be much better, and the ending will not be so miserable.
"Zhang Yu, you are too arrogant, you want me to surrender to you, it depends on your ability, if you can break through my Hefei City within a month, then I will surrender to you." Lu Bu said.
Zhang Yu pondered and then said, "Okay." I've got a letter from the public desk here, and you'll open it in a month's time. This is our deal. β
Zhang Yu took out a letter from his bosom and threw it to Lu Bu, then turned the horse's head and went back.
This letter was written by Chen Gong to Lu Bu, and the content Zhang Yu knew that it was to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, and there was a great chance for Lu Bu to surrender, but Zhang Yu gave up using this way.
Of course, the letter must be given to Lu Bu first, so that Lu Bu will not think that Zhang Yu can't do it himself, and then invite Chen Gong out.
And to give the letter to Lu Bu in advance, I believe that Lu Bu's pride will not open the letter too early.
