This place is a big road between Taigu Pass and Yique Pass, on both sides of the avenue, a team of armor soldiers are lined up, every five people, there are people holding torches, used for lighting. From a distance, I am afraid that there are thousands or tens of thousands of subordinates, and even though it is at night, there is no chaos at all, showing good training and discipline.

There were several people in the middle of this group of armor soldiers, the first one was seven feet five inches tall, with a white face and beard, long arms and big ears, wearing iron armor, and a sword hanging from his waist, it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the generals of Zhengdong and the assassins of Qingzhou. Liu Bei is beside a person, more than seven feet tall, looks a little thin, wears a light leather armor on his body, and also has a sword hanging from his waist, but he is Liu Bei's confidant and strategist, Xi Zhicai.

At this moment, Xi Zhicai said to Liu Bei: "If General Sun can really defeat Hu Zhen and Lu Bu as expected by the lord, I expect that these two people must pass through here, even if General Sun fails to defeat Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, our army can also march along this road, go straight to Taigu Pass, and join forces with General Sun to fight against each other." ”

Liu Bei glanced at Xi Zhicai gratefully, knowing that Xi Zhicai chose this path, and also had the intention of delaying the march in case Liu Bei expected the enemy to make a mistake. However, Liu Bei's confidence in Sun Jian may be even stronger than Sun Jian himself. This is clearly written in history, although the battlefield situation faced by Sun Jian is different from history, but the situation of discord between Hu Zhen and Lu Bu should not be any different, and the discord between the generals and commanders is a taboo in the army, and how can they not be defeated.

At the moment, Liu Bei just waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I expect Sun Wentai to win this time." ”

Xi Zhicai was silent for a while, although Xi Zhicai didn't know where Liu Bei's confidence came from, but since the lord had made a decision, the strategist could only work hard in this direction, so he said: "I expect Hu Zhen and Lu Bu to be defeated, and they will inevitably ...... when they are in a panic."

Liu Bei waved his hand again and said with a smile: "I deeply admire the resourcefulness of Mr., there is no need to say more, let's just wait here." ”

With that, the two laughed and startled countless birds in the night.

Although Liu Bei is a traverser, he is conceited in advance, and he also relies on this method to make a lot of profits, for example, if Liu Bei didn't know that Emperor Han Ling would not live long, he would never dare to risk losing his reputation to buy a plain phase to do, and there would be no opportunities later.

But Liu Bei also knew that he was just an ordinary person, not a great talent, and he didn't understand the ancient military, so he simply only asked about the results, but asked about anything else, lest real talents like Xi Zhicai be interfered with by his own judgment.

As early as Liu Bei knew that Lu Bu and Hu Zhen were reinforcing Taigu Pass, he led his men and horses here, wanting to wait for Sun Jian to defeat Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, intercept the remnants of the two defeated generals, and pick up a bargain. Xi Zhicai judged that if Hu and Lu were hundreds, there was a chance that they would go this way, so Liu Bei was ready to intercept the defeated army of the two here.

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered people to set up camp and rest the army, and only sent scouts to attack everywhere to monitor the battle at Taigu Pass.

However, on the second day, a scout came to report, saying that Lu Bu led the army to fight Sun Jian, and there was no winner or loser. Subsequently, a military report came, in the early morning, several horses galloped over, someone had already stepped forward to check the arrows, listened to the scout cavalry, first took off the weapons on the body, and then took the scout cavalry, went straight to Liu Bei's Chinese army tent, and fell to the ground in worship.

The person who came briefly said the military situation, took out a bamboo tube, which contained military information, and handed it to Liu Bei, Liu Bei took it, opened it and looked at it, and smiled, only to see that it was written in simplified Chinese: "Lu Bu and Hu Zhen were defeated by General Sun and are running towards this place." ”

In fact, the origin of simplified Chinese characters is said to be the word of the sage Wang Xizhi, who is only more than 100 years away from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The difference between simplified Chinese characters and Chinese characters is actually not as big as traditional Chinese characters.

The real large-scale promotion of simplified characters, advocated by the government, had to wait until the late twentieth century, also in conjunction with the eradication of illiteracy.

Although, in later generations, there are many people who criticize the promotion of simplified Chinese characters in this way, losing the beauty of the classical charm of the text, and losing a manifestation of tradition. This cannot be wrong, but for the whole society, the significance of words to the carrying and dissemination of information is far greater than the format in which it is written.

It's like Han Li replacing the seal character, and the simplified Chinese character replacing the Han Li, which is also the trend of the times, but this kind of thing is not an overnight thing, but Liu Bei can't wait so long, in addition to promoting it among the orphans adopted by Liu Bei, it is also promoted in the army. Looking at it now, the effect is good, Liu Bei can not only get the information from the mouth of the detective in front, but also see it from the paper, so that there is no trouble of distorting the information because of word of mouth.

Liu Bei first handed the note to Xi Zhicai to read, and ordered: "Pass the order, set up a formation, and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "The lord is clever, people can't reach it, the minister really admires it, admires it." ”

Liu Bei had just led his troops to line up in the field and block the way, and Lu Bu had already arrived with his troops. When I saw someone blocking the road in front of me, I was shocked. Liu Bei looked up and saw that it was Lu Bu, and he also felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Stop Lu Bu, how to deal with it, kill Lu Bu, who will assassinate Dong Zhuo and take Lu Bu as his subordinate, this is Lu Bu, who dares to accept Lu Bu, and be Lu Bu's father will be pitted. If he didn't intercept it, Liu Bei couldn't talk about it in his heart, and it was not easy to explain it to the soldiers under his command.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Liu Bei still decided to let Lu Bu go, Liu Bei's interference with history is already very big, in case of a battle with Lu Bu and Lu Bu is killed, who will kill Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei thought about it, and said to the left and right: "Qing and others can know, why do I know that Sun Jian will win, and Hu and Lu will lose." ”

Everyone said: "The lord has seen thousands of miles, and I can't wait for this." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Under Dong Zhuo's command, the two armies of Heliang are not in harmony, and the internal friction is serious. Since ancient times, the generals are not in harmony, it is a taboo for soldiers, if you meet an ordinary opponent, forget it, Sun Wentai is brave and good at fighting, so I know that Hu and Lu will be defeated, and Sun Wentai will win. ”

Xi Zhi knew Liu Bei's thoughts, and when he saw Liu Bei say this, he had already understood, and stepped forward and said: "Yes, the generals are not in harmony, it has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times, I think the lord might as well let go of Lu Bu and attack Hu Zhen alone." In this way, it can not only allow Dong Zhuo's army to continue to be in discord with the generals, but also make Dong Zhuo suspicious, and the Xiliang army will be more hostile to the state army. ”

After glancing at Xi Zhicai, Liu Beixin said, this siege is well solved, and when he lets Lu Bu go, he will not be afraid of no excuses.

Lu Bu and his men, although they fled early, Lu Bu deliberately fled and had been prepared, so they ran here and could still maintain the basic team parts, but the horsepower had begun to fatigue, so they walked slowly at this moment and recovered their horsepower.

Seeing Liu Bei in front of him, Lu Bu was shocked, he wanted to fight, but he was sleepy and tired, and he couldn't fight. I had to ask, "Do you have a good plan?" ”
