Hu Zhen and Lü Bu came to reinforce Taigu Pass, and Sun Jian and his generals discussed how to meet the enemy.

Cheng Pu was the oldest in Sun Jian's army, and he was relatively stable, and said to Sun Jian: "Although Lu Bu didn't bring too many soldiers and horses, there were only thousands of cavalry, but his troops were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. Our army has few horses, even if we can defeat Lu Bu, it will be difficult for our army to catch up. It is better to wait for Liu Qingzhou to come, Liu Qingzhou's department has 3,000 cavalry, which is enough to fight against the Bingzhou cavalry under Lu Bu. ”

Huang Gai has always been brave, he said to Sun Jian: "Although Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, he does not bring many soldiers and horses, at most only more than 3,000 cavalry, our army is 30,000, Taigu Pass will be newly defeated, do not dare to attack rashly, our army only needs to concentrate forces, first defeat Lu Bu, is the best policy." ”

Sun Jian nodded silently, and said secretly in his heart: Huang Gai was born in a famous family, but he was bold, Cheng Pu is a veteran general in the army, but he likes to seek stability, but it is also an interesting story.

Among the generals, some people supported Cheng Pu, thinking that "Lu Bu is brave and has the name of a flying general, and we have also heard of it, and now that our army has won for a while, we should fight steadily and steadily, and we don't have to be greedy for merit." ”

More people support Huang Gai, "Now that Lu Bu has arrived, Hu Zhen will arrive later, it is better to break Lu Bu first, and then wait until Hu Zhen comes." Otherwise, and Hu Zhen is also a fierce general in the Xiliang Army, if Hu Zhen and Lu Bu join forces, Dong Zhuojun will have more soldiers and horses, stronger troops, and it will be more difficult to fight. ”

"Otherwise, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and strong, Liangzhou is a fine horse, and he is famous all over the world. Lu Bu is also a fierce general, and the state soldiers are also elite soldiers in the world, which should not be underestimated. Our army is on the verge of passing, and there is no geographical advantage, so it is better to fight steadily. ”

"Our army won one game first, which has already frustrated the spirit of Dong Thief, at this time, it is the time for the big husband to fight for merit, why not be afraid of Lu Bu. Our army is tens of thousands, Lu Bu is only thousands, our army and thieves are fighting, as long as they fight steadily, it is a slight disadvantage for a while, Lu Bu has few soldiers, and it is difficult to defeat our army, no harm, when Liu Qingzhou comes, he will be able to win a big victory. If you win, you can enjoy this great achievement to yourself. ”

Sun Jian was already a fierce person, and he was more inclined to defeat Lu Bu first and then face Hu Zhen. and the heart of merit, that is, to talk to everyone: "I am an uprising, for the country, if I meet a Lu Bu, I will not dare to fight, how can I see Jiangdong's father!" ”

Sun Jian started with military merits, and he has always been reluctant to die when he fights, so he is naturally not afraid of fighting, and there are not many soldiers and horses under Lu Bu, so Sun Jian naturally has no reason not to fight.

Sun Jian said: "You don't need to use cavalry to guard the pass, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are all cavalry, and they won't enter the pass, I want to break Lu Bu, when I lure him out of the pass, I don't know what the plan is." ”

Huang Gai said: "I have a plan, if I want to break Lu Bu, I can feign to attack Taigu Pass, Lu Bu is here to rescue Taigu Pass, and I will not sit idly by and watch Taigu be attacked." Just feint to attack Taigu Pass, and Lu Bu will come to the rescue. The general can not send an army to block the defenders of Taigu Pass, and attack Lu Bu with a large army, and he will definitely win a complete victory. ”

So Sun Jian led Wu Jing with 5,000 men and horses, feinted to attack Taigu Pass, and sent someone to send a letter to Liu Bei, informing him of the news that Lu Bu and Hu Zhen had come to the rescue.

"Sun Wentai is brave and good at fighting, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and he will definitely be able to defeat Hu Zhen and Lu Bu."

Hearing the information that Hu Zhen and Lu Bu led their troops to rescue Taigu Pass, Liu Bei immediately made the judgment that Sun Jian could defeat the two.

When the people around heard this, they all looked at each other, not knowing why Liu Bei was so sure. The Xiliang army is not afraid of death, Hu Zhen is also a fierce general, and Lu Bu is known as a "flying general".

Originally, the Taigu Pass defenders were defeated by Sun Jian, and the people were panicked, but Lu Bu and Hu Zhen had already brought the troops, so the Taigu Pass defenders would no longer panic, Dong Zhuo's army had the danger of Taigu Pass, and Lu Bu and Hu Zhen were horns outside, although Sun Jian was brave and good at fighting, but he may not be able to win the battle.

Regarding everyone's questions, of course, Liu Bei can't say that he is the result of reading from history books. Moreover, the current situation is also different from the past. Sun Jian in history did not Liu Bei lead 16,000 cavalry to support, nor did he set out from Yingchuan to attack Luoyang. This belongs to the change that I brought about myself, and it is the butterfly effect.

However, some things should not change, such as the discord between Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, which will never be changed by their own butterfly effect, and the discord between the generals will always affect the combat effectiveness and lead to failure.

"Our army should go to Hu Zhen and Lu Bu to ambush behind them, and when Hu Zhen and Lu Bu are defeated by Sun Wentai and escape, our army will cover up and kill from the rear, and we will be able to win a complete victory. What do you think? ”

Since he judged that Hu Zhen and Lu Bu would be defeated, Liu Bei put forward his own suggestions, but Liu Bei was not very confident in his own judgment, and he still habitually solicited the opinions of everyone, mainly Xi Zhicai.

All the generals are also accustomed to listening to the judgment of Xi Zhicai, so they all look at Xi Zhicai, and when Xi Zhicai saw that everyone was looking at him, he thought about it for a while, and said: "The lord expects that Hu Zhen and Lu Bu will be defeated, and it must not be wrong. ”

Xi Zhicai was originally from a poor family, although he was known for his strategy, but because of his low background, he has not been able to come out. After being invited by Liu Bei, he has always been close and important. Now, he is already the respected general of the military, so he is really grateful for Liu Bei's kindness, and he always has the idea of doing his best.

Therefore, in front of everyone, Xi Zhicai paid great attention to maintaining Liu Bei's authority, Liu Bei said that Sun Jian could win Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, then Xi Zhicai would not refute, at least in front of everyone, not to mention, Xi Zhicai had already made the same judgment, thinking that Dong Zhuojun was all war-weary, the army had no fighting spirit, and Sun Jian had a great chance of victory.

So Liu Bei ordered the whole army to go to the back road of Hu Zhen and Lu Bu's two generals, and after thinking about it, Liu Bei said to the generals: "If you stop Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, if you see Lu Bu fleeing first, let him go, mainly to intercept Hu Zhen." ”

The reason why Liu Bei made this order was mainly because he was afraid that if Lu Bu was killed, Wang Yun would find someone to "make a series of tricks". When the time comes, Lu Bu is dead, and no one will assassinate Dong Zhuo, which will change history too much, and will make Liu Bei completely lose the greatest advantage he can predict the future.

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Zhang Fei said: "Lu Bu, the third surnamed slave, ungrateful, why should my brother spare him from dying." ”

Liu Bei said: "Brother Xian, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Under Dong Zhuo, the two armies of Liangzhou have always been at odds, if Lu Bu is beheaded and the state soldiers lose their leader, they cannot compete with the Liangzhou army, but it is not beautiful. ”

Only then did everyone understand that Liu Bei was keeping Lu Bu and the Liangzhou army for internal friction, and Liu Bei naturally would not explain more.

Just when Liu Bei led the troops to secretly lead the troops, he went to copy the back road of Hu Zhen and Lu Bu.
