"The two generals won two and lost seven, most of the Langya country has been captured, and the three generals tried to rescue, but they were ambushed, and the losses were not small! At present, the two generals have retreated to Linyi. ”

"What? How could there be such a fiasco? Liu Bei obviously didn't expect Jiang Sheng's counterattack to be so swift!

And the elite cavalry near Xiapi that came and went without a trace made Liu Bei even more restless.

Liu Bei summoned Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others to discuss countermeasures: "Everyone, the current situation is like this, how to break the situation?" ”

Jian Yong said: "Does the lord know what Meng De's plans are?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Meng De planned to march in unison with multiple roads, thinking that the two wings should respond, the western front was led by Yuan Shu Liu Biao, the eastern front was our army, and the Cao army broke through in the middle to attack Jiang Sheng's fundamental Jizhou!" ”

"The lord only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Although Meng De said that the troops are divided into three ways, but the two roads are on the defensive, and only Liaocheng is on the offensive all the way, which is obviously borrowing our soldiers and other generals to conquer the city for them, and their hearts can be punished!"

Mi Zhu said: "Xianhe's words are bad, don't you know the truth of cold lips and teeth? Jiang Sheng destroyed Yuan Shao in Jizhou within a few years, collected Qingzhou, Pingyouzhou, and lightly annexed the state, and his ambition was not small. My Xuzhou is connected to Jiang Sheng's Qingzhou, and Jiang Sheng's next strategy must bear the brunt. ”

Everyone nodded again and again, Mi Zhu's analysis was very reasonable.

Mi Zhu continued: "Youzhou was initially decided, and it was difficult for the main force of Jiang Sheng's army to go south in a short time, and it was the time of emptiness, Cao Gong's attack on Liaocheng seemed simple, but it was actually a wonderful strategy. Liaocheng is an important place for Jizhou and Qingzhou to support each other, once it is taken, Jiang Sheng's two lines cannot echo, that is, the situation of each breakthrough, even if Xun You has the talent of heaven and earth, it is difficult for Qingzhou's power to compete with us. ”

Liu Bei said: "The soldiers of Qingzhou have broken most of Langya, what you said is too confident!" ”

"That's because Liaocheng is not broken, and Xun You has no worries, so he dares to concentrate his forces to attack my Langya. For today's plan, we can only withdraw the soldiers and horses attacking Mount Tai, stick to Linyi, and wait until the Cao army breaks Liaocheng, which is the time for our army to counterattack! ”

Just as Liu Bei's group was planning, the battlefield on the Western Front was intractable.

Li Tong was originally from an intelligence background, so how could he not know about Kuai Yue and Wenpin's movements?

Since the beginning of the war, the soldiers and horses of the Chang'an Captain's Department have always been under the command of Li Tong, which made Jingzhou mistakenly think that Li Tong was the main general, but he didn't know that Lu Bu had already waited for a long time at the place where the Wenpin army had to go to Luoyang.

Wen Ping secretly went north, the work was done very tightly, 30,000 troops went out day and night, and the counties along the way did not even notice it at all, he was also full of confidence, and felt that this dangerous move was still right.

According to the initial deployment, Li Tong wanted to take Nanyang ahead of Wenpin, but he didn't expect Wenpin's army to progress rapidly and fight an encounter halfway. After the victory in the first battle, Li Tong did not rush to attack, and he also knew that his soldiers and horses were only forwards, not the main force, so he accepted it when he saw it and settled down.

Kuai Yue didn't dare to enter Nanyang, he knew that the troops he led, once they entered Nanyang, they would not be able to contain Li Tong, although he looked down on Wen Ping, but Jingzhou's interests still prevailed, so he bluffed according to Wen Ping's deployment.

Now that Li Tong has discovered the reality of the Jingzhou army, he is no longer in a hurry and has set up camp with peace of mind! No matter what Kuai Yue did, Li Tong was unmoved.

After this period of construction, the outer city has begun to see scale, and the majestic city wall stands in the clouds.

Wen Ping couldn't help but speak, "Is this the legendary Luoyang New Town?" Jiang Sheng is a bit capable, but this will soon be Jingzhou's territory! ”

He smiled, as if he saw the scene of his soaring, but the reality made his smile freeze on his face!

The neighing of horses spread all over the mountains from far and near, and in the distance was the light of countless torches.

Wen Ping was shocked, the intelligence showed that there was no big army near Luoyang, Lu Bu was far away in Chang'an, Zhang Liaojun was defending Yingchuan, and Li Tong was pinned down in Nanyang, there was no reason!

But the facts are the facts after all, the shouts of killing have already permeated, and the vast majority of the people who listen to the movement are cavalry.

Wen Ping listened intently, the enemy army was no less than 50,000 people, and the cavalry was more than 30,000, which was obviously to swallow up the Wen Ping army.

Attacking at dawn was a good thing for the cavalry, and most of the surrounding areas were plains, and the infantry-based civilian employment was extremely disadvantageous.

In a hurry, the Wenpin peripheral guard troops were quickly wiped out, and by dawn, the Wenpin army was surrounded by gray cavalry.

Looking up, the banner of the Chinese army has five big characters written on the banner of "Chang'an Captain Lu", and in the circle of the formation, a tiger will urge the horse to go out of the battle, who is not Lu Bu?

Lu Bu shouted: "I am the captain of Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu is also, Wenpin Xiaoer, why don't you come and arrest me soon?" ”

Lu Bu's voice was deep and powerful, shocking the eardrums, and the battlefield was silent.

Light infantry fighting cavalry is simply sending to death, Jingzhou soldiers see that the whole army is surrounded by cavalry, who dares to look for death at this time?

Wen Ping saw that the general trend had gone, so he had no choice but to ride his horse and come to Lu Bu.

Lu Budao: "You are a clerk?" ”

"It's down there!"

"Okay, count you as acquaintances! When will you wait if you don't drop at this time? ”

Wen Ping had no choice but to dismount, abandoned the weapon in his hand in front of Lu Bu, knelt on one knee, Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, picked up Wen Ping with both hands, and said with a smile: "General Wen can bend and stretch, he is a man, Lu Mou invited the general to conspire with great things on behalf of Da Sima!" ”

Wen Ping said: "Don't dare! Wen Ping is willing to obey General Lu's dispatch! ”

Wen Ping handed the sword to Lu Bu, indicating the intention of surrendering, and then got on the horse and shouted: "Jingzhou soldiers, our army has invaded Luoyang with an unrighteous army, and it is wrong after all, and now General Lu's army is besieged, and only by stopping the army can I live, I have surrendered, everyone surrender or fight, take your own idea!" ”

Wen Ping spoke, and the Jingzhou army was still silent, in this case, who jumped out to fight the pure suicide.

But it's really tough, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Wen hires you an ungrateful thing, the lord treats you well, why don't you surrender without a fight!" Don't forget, back then, ......" was hacked to death by the people next to him before he finished speaking.

Soon, there was an uproar, the weapons of the Jingzhou army were thrown to the ground, and the personal soldiers of Wen Ping also went to the battalions to announce their surrender!

50,000 against 30,000, and the battle ended after a simple encounter.

The Chang'an Captain's Department now has a total of more than 70,000 horses, Lu Bu brought 50,000 by himself, 10,000 stayed behind, and 10,000 were led by Li Tong, and the destruction of the Wenpin Forward Force was only done by Li Tong's 10,000 horses, but Li Tong bluffed all the way, and insisted on disguising 10,000 horses as an army of 50,000, and the real army of 50,000 was under Lu Bu.

Judging from the battle situation in the entire northwest, Lu Bu is under a lot of pressure, he really wants to recruit these Jingzhou soldiers, but the danger factor is very high, these are all soldiers from Jingzhou, in case of rebellion, it is not something that he Lu Bu can suppress. If they are all released, they will soon become Lu Bu's fierce rivals.

Lu Bu thought twice and made up his mind, after all, the safety and stability of Chang'an was his primary consideration.
