With the addition of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two '10,000 enemies', Xu Chu's confidence increased greatly, and he gave out all the plans he had come up with.

In this battle, psychological warfare is the mainstay, supplemented by military warfare.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the Chinese army with 500 tiger guards and 1,000 foot soldiers; Li Quan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led Xu Chu's cavalry; Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led Cao Cao's cavalry, and the three-way men and horses immediately set off and went to the front of Lu Bu's military camp to call for battle.

The rest of the troops feigned to attack Lu Bu's flank during the fierce battle, and rushed directly in the direction of Dagu Pass.

When Cao Cao heard this, he hesitated: "Zhongkang, can you stop Lu Bu?" ”

Xu Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Meng De, I have my own measure." The responsibility of supporting General Sun is entrusted to you. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said no more. Since he met Xu Chu, he found that there were many delicate places hidden under Xu Chu's tall and powerful appearance, whether it was in Luoyang, or when he proposed to 'take the lead in volunteers', or when he was competing with Kong Ling, Xu Chu's strong reputation had a caution that ordinary martial artists did not have.

For example, Sun Jian, he is also a martial artist, but if you compare Sun Jian's series of actions after raising the army with Xu Chu, it is easy to find that Sun Jian is more reckless. Xu Chu just swept away Kong Ling's prestige, but what about Sun Jian? Without saying a word, he directly killed Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi. At present, Sun Jian's approach is certainly more pleasant, but in the long run, Sun Jian's reputation has also stinked, at least among those scholars, the difference between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo is that Dong Zhuo has done more angry things.

Cao Cao is a risk-taking person, so he chose to believe Xu Chu, Guo Jia and Xi Zhong of course supported Xu Chu without any doubt, and even if others had some ideas, they could only swallow it in their stomachs at this time.

Reckless action is a big taboo in military decision-making, but hesitation is also a big taboo.

Now that the plan has been set, everyone is in line at the moment, and it took about two hours to prepare to stop, Xu Chu immediately took Dian Wei and others out of the camp.

......

Lü Bu Barracks.

As soon as Xu Chu made an abnormal move, in less than a quarter of an hour, the scout flew to report.

Lu Bu then went out of the camp tent and climbed high and looked into the distance, between Xu Chu and Cao Cao's camp direction smoke and dust, surprised by countless birds, then put the halberd on the ground, pointed ahead, smiled and said to the generals under his command: "I heard that Xu Chu is brave and brave, once humiliated General Hu at the foot of the mountain, and killed Zhao Zhong in Dachangqiu, this must be a big battle with me." It's just that the Xu family thinks that we are the same kind of people as Hu Zhen and Zhao Zhong, which is very wrong. ”

Behind Lu Bu stood all the generals under his command, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Xue Lan, and Li Feng, a total of eleven people. Similar to the composition of Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou generals, most of the generals under Lu Bu's command were from his same state and county.

Bingzhou and Liangzhou are both border states, adjacent to the Xiongnu and Xiqiang Zhuhu, the people of the two states fight with the Qianghu all the year round, many young men and even women who are less than ten years old in the family can go into battle to kill the enemy, and the combat effectiveness of those young and strong children can be imagined. Therefore, Bingzhou and Liangzhou, like Danyang County in Yangzhou, are the treasures of the Han Dynasty to produce elite soldiers, and are called 'Liangjin soldiers' by the world, so when Dong Zhuo tried to annex and annex the state soldiers, he did not use fierce fire to subdue the merger soldiers, but adopted a relatively mild strategy to tempt Lu Bu to kill the master and join the enemy. From Dong Zhuo's way of annexing and annexing the state soldiers, and from the tragic battle situation of Cao Cao's department, it can be seen how terrifying the combat effectiveness of this army of annexing states is.

Most of the fame of these generals under Lu Bu's account stopped at the state and state, and in the eyes of the people of the world, they were not as famous as those under Dong Zhuo. But these people are all famous local warriors, many of them are like Li Tong, Chen Gong, Gan Ning and others under Xu Chu before joining the army, they are famous light warriors and swordsmen in the county, this kind of person has a significant characteristic - 'Shangqi', listening to Lu Bu's ridicule of Xu Chu and Hu Zhen, they all burst into laughter.

Dudu Zhang Liao frowned, and tried to say: "Captain, Xu Chu sent troops at this time, which is unreasonable. ”

Zhang Liao's position in Lü Bu's army is very special, his reputation in Bingzhou is not under Lü Bu, and he once did Ding Yuan's work, and returned to his hometown to recruit troops at the behest of the general He Jin, so he has a team of his own soldiers and horses in his hands. Lu Bu was particularly polite to Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao often spoke bluntly to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled: "What does Wen Yuan mean by this? ”

"Cao Cao's new defeat, the morale of the Xu and Cao coalition forces is low, and it is not a wise choice to go out of the camp to fight at this time."

As soon as Zhang Liao's words fell, a general said loudly: "I said Zhang Liao, I have heard the name of Xu Chu for a long time. It is rumored that the Yellow Turban Thieves in Runan attacked Qian County, and Xu Chu once led the people to resist, and became famous, but what happened after? fled to Yingchuan in a hurry, although he killed the Yingchuan giant thief He Yi and pacified Huang Shao, but what did these Yellow Turban thieves count? Ant thieves! Because of this, this Xu family got a brave name. After speaking, he spat thick phlegm on the ground, and his expression was extremely disdainful.

Zhang Liao looked over, but it was Wei Xu.

It is disrespectful to call a person by name in the Han Dynasty, and Wei Xu dared to treat Zhang Liao like this because he and Lu Bu were in-laws, and he was one of the most trusted people by Lu Bu.

Hao Meng also said: "I heard that Sun Jian is the 'Jiangdong Tiger', Xu Chu is the 'Yuzhou Tiger', hehe, Lao Tzu has never been to the Central Plains before, if Lao Tzu is from the Central Plains, he must also be a tiger." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Zhang Liao frowned and was displeased, and Gao Shun also didn't agree with Hao Meng's words.

Gao Shun said to Lu Bu: "Du Wei, Sun Jian should not be underestimated, I heard that he takes the lead in every battle, so he followed Huangfu Gong and Zhang Gong to discuss the Yellow Turban and the border chapter, and repeatedly made meritorious deeds, although he has a slight defeat, but he can often win, this person is a fierce general, and he can't be slack!" Compared with Sun Jian, although Xu Chu's combat record is not as prominent as Sun Jian's, he is a 'martial artist' and has served as the Taishou of Yingchuan and Lujiang counties, is he an ordinary person? In the end, he persuaded: "The captain must not despise these two people." ”

Lu Bu does have the problem of underestimating the enemy, but the root of his problem is not to look down on the opponent, but because of conceit. He grew up in the border area, learned martial arts since he was a child, dealt with Qianghu, and long before Sun Jian made his career, he was already a warrior known to everyone in Bingzhou. Over the years, he has licked blood all the way to the knife, relying on superb riding skills and unparalleled bravery, he has been called a flying general, who is the 'flying general'? That is the nickname of Li Guang, the former Hanfei general, and everyone at the time compared him with Li Guang, how could he not be conceited and not look down on the heroes of the world because of this.

Therefore, Lu Bu knew Gao Shun's personality very well, and knew that Gao Shun was saying loyalty, but he still couldn't listen to it, smiled slightly, turned back to the military tent, and wanted to leave the camp.

Lu Bu was still in the middle of deployment, and the herald came in from outside the tent and reported loudly: "Tell the captain, Xu Chu has already led the troops to the front of the camp!" ”

So fast?!

All the generals in the tent were shocked.
