Fu Youde pulled Lan Yu to a secluded place and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Lan, why did you want to give in to Hou Junji before, I deliberately attacked him with all my might, just to test his bearing, and sure enough, he is narrow-minded, it can be seen that he is not a general." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lan Yu waved his hand and said: "I naturally know that he has a small temperament, and he has the temperament of a general, but you provoked him before, if I add fuel to the fire, it is difficult to ensure that he will not anger us."

Fu Youde took a deep breath, stared at Lan Yu and said, "What about provoking him, aren't we just to see who he is?" Do you remember the agreement you made with me? ”

"I remember!" Lan Yu nodded and said, "When you and I met in Xiangjiang, we were familiar at first sight, and you wanted to enter Wuguan to join the Son of Heaven." And I'm ......"

"But you persuaded me to take refuge in Yuan Shu, you said that Yuan Highway was the fourth and third dukes, occupying Jianghuai and other rich places in the world, with hundreds of thousands of armor. But Yuan Shu is tyrannical, the people are miserable, you say that there must be a villain around him who is confused, you want to enter his command, punish the evil and eliminate the evil, lead him to good, and persuade him to obey the Son of Heaven in the future! ”

After Fu Youde finished speaking, he snorted coldly and asked, "But after taking refuge in Yuan Shu for so long, can you see who he is?"

"Yuan Shu is ambitious, but he is incompetent! A huge rich land in Huainan was made angry by him! Lan Yu replied in a deep voice.

"Although Yuan Shu has a big family background, his character is not good, and he is ambitious, let alone let him take refuge in the Son of Heaven. He commanded the general Zhang Xun, Ji Ling is incompetent, and although Sun Jian has the name of a tiger, he is also ambitious. Although Hou Junji has talent, he is not enough, and Yuan Shu has such a group of people, it is impossible to achieve great things. ”

"I tested Hou Junji's character before, you can also push the boat down the river, and we can go to Chang Yuchun! It is the best policy to sweep away Yuan Shu as soon as possible and rescue the innocent people in Huainan. But you showed favor to Hou Junji, could it be that you fell in love with the life of being a powerful man, and you were reluctant to leave, and you wanted to die for Yuan Shu? ”

After Fu Youde finished speaking, he looked at Lan Yu, Lan Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Brother misunderstood, how can I, Lan Yu, be the kind of villain who is greedy for glory and wealth?" If the two of us take refuge in Chang Yuchun, then Chang Yuchun is just a reckless man, will they trust us? Maybe he's suspicious and the ghost will kill us. ”

"We're doing right, sitting upright, I don't think Chang Yuchun will kill us indiscriminately! In short, this Yuan Shu has a miasma of black smoke, and I don't want to stay for a moment! Fu Youde shook his head and said in denial.

Lan Yu pulled Fu Youde and persuaded him: "How Chang Yuchun will treat us is also a guess between you and me, and we can't do it accurately, but we must always be cautious." After all, we rushed to the road, and it was hard to guarantee that he didn't believe us. ”

"But now Hou Junji asked us to refuse Chang Yuchun for the sake of the future, so that we will be reused, and he will not believe it at this time to take refuge in Chang Yuchun. And it will also be saddled with the name of infidelity! Fu Youde is embarrassed.

Indeed, Fu Youde deliberately wanted to defeat Hou Junji before, if Lan Yu didn't give Hou Junji face, maybe Hou Junji would suppress the two. At that time, the two can take this opportunity to defect to Chang Yuchun. At most, Hou Junji has a narrow temperament and suppresses talented people, and if he betrays the master like that, it will not affect the reputation of the two.

And now that Hou Junji is reusing them, they are now defecting, no matter what it is, their reputation will not be good. And often when the two rebel in spring, they may not accept it.

"The good ministers choose the wood to live in, let's take refuge in the Ming Lord, is it disloyal? We now have 10,000 soldiers and horses, we only need to go to the front line and fight Chang Yuchun twice, let him know our brother's ability, and when the time comes, we will take these 10,000 soldiers and horses to defect, and the blow to Yuan Shu will be great! And it can be used as our own resources! Lan Yu looked around and whispered to Fu Youde.

"Hey!" Fu Youde sighed, and suddenly realized in his heart that Lan Yu was trying to win the right to recruit the army. Gain a decisive weight, so as to take refuge in the Han Dynasty and seize the capital to advance. Fu Youde shook his head and said, "With your and my martial arts, what if you surrender to the imperial court in vain?" It can be a general after a few years of training, so why do you need this kind of talent? Tarnished the reputation of you and me in vain! ”

After all, it is much better for loyal ministers to be excluded from the two masters than to take the initiative to take refuge in themselves. While the results are the same, the nature is very different.

Lan Yu shook his head and chuckled, "How many generals are there in Gu Zhi who fought from small soldiers?" How many years are there in life? Brother, don't be too rigid, anyway, the matter has come to this, we have received the order, and we can't leave if we want to, so we can only lead the army to meet Chang Yuchun. ”

"Okay, let's do it, go and straighten out the soldiers and horses for my brother, and you should also prepare!" Fu Youde sighed and turned to leave.

And Lan Yu looked at Fu Youde's departing back, but smiled coldly and said in a low voice: "Fu Youde, Fu Youde, people can't be too loyal, what if you can be higher than me?" Isn't it still going to be a stepping stone for my blue jade to climb? ”

…………

In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash, and Fu Youde selected 3,000 soldiers who were good at water warfare from the army, raised a large number of ships, and set out on the road with an army of 10,000.

Chang Yu Chun Tun Bing Nanxiang, from the rear Wuguan and a steady stream of grain and grass transported, and Wudang County only left a thousand elite garrison, between the two counties, along Xiangshui, Chang Yuchun sent a large number of scouts, cavalry patrols, three times a day, can be described as cautious.

Fu Youde's soldiers and horses came to stay in Juxian County, which is across the river from Nanxiang County, which can be described as a large county seat.

When the soldiers and horses came to Juxian County, Fu Youde called Lan Yu to discuss secretly: "Brother Lan, Hou Junji gave me 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are Hou Junji's cronies, if we want to take these 10,000 soldiers and horses to defect, I'm afraid it's impossible!" Why don't we go to fight Chang Yuchun, lose for a while, and take refuge in him? ”

"Brother, why do you belittle yourself? In this way, even if Chang Yuchun is willing to accept us, we have no status. Let's fight a few battles with the Han army first, let him know our skills, and then secretly contact Chang Yuchun to help him take Nanyang, isn't it? Lan Yu persuaded bitterly.

Fu Youde shook his head and explained: "It's not that I belittle myself, it's just that I am fighting with the Han army, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties, since you and I have made up our minds to join the Han army, why bother to increase the casualties of the Han army in one fell swoop?" Even if you and I defect to the Han army in the future, the Han army will hate us. ”

Lan Yu shook his head and persuaded: "Oh, brother, this is the best way, I have already thought about everything, tomorrow we will cross the river to Nanxiang Hui will meet spring!" Let him know what you and I are capable of. ”

On the second day, Fu Youde Lanyu raised an army of 10,000 to cross the river to Nanxiang, and an army of 3,000 sailors met at Xiangjiang.

Halfway through the journey, Lan Yu saw that the terrain was narrow, which was suitable for arranging ambushes, so he said: "General, just leave 5,000 people here to lay an ambush, and let's lead the remaining 5,000 men and horses to Nanxiang lightly." When the time comes, a feint will allow the Han army to pursue and enter an ambush! ”

Fu Youde looked at the terrain and shook his head and said: "Although this place is suitable for ambushes, but after the soldiers have reported and often made soldiers and horses patrol during this time in spring, it can be seen that he is cautious in his use of soldiers, not a reckless person, this ambush may not be useful."

"If not, we will have a naval army in Xiangjiang to respond, and we are not afraid of his soldiers and horses chasing!" Lan Yu persuaded.

Fu Youde had no choice but to agree, so he left 5,000 soldiers and horses to lay in ambush, took 5,000 elites, and went to Nanxiang to call for battle.

However, the army came to the city in half a day, and there were already 30,000 troops such as Chang Yuchun in the city, and the grain and grass in the rear had been delivered. Chang Yuchun only waited for 3,000 cavalry to arrive, and Gan Ning built enough ships to continue eastward.

When Fu Youde came to the city for three miles, he asked the cavalry under his command to tie bushes to the tail of the horse behind the battle, gallop back and forth to make monstrous dust, and lay out a suspicious plan.

Chang Yuchun and Gan Ning climbed the city tower, and looked from a distance, only to see the dust behind the Yuan army covering the sky and the sun, Gan Ning frowned and said: "Look at this formation, I'm afraid that the Yuan army is coming with tens of thousands of troops, right?"

"Heh, how is it possible, our troops are in Nanxiang, but it was taken down because of my surprise attack, and now we have to wait for support such as grain and grass. Although they are in their homeland, the food and grass equipment of tens of thousands of troops cannot be raised in a short time. It's just the vanguard that comes, no more than 20,000 at most! Chang Yuchun sneered.

"So, this is a suspicious tactic? Hmph, Yuan Jun didn't defend the city well, and he dared to take the initiative to attack! Gan Ning said angrily.

Seeing that the general flag was not Hou Junji's, Chang Yuchun was puzzled: "Look at this formation, it is not Hou Junji who came in person, and in Yuan Shu's army, I have never heard of a general surnamed Fu and Lan."

"Why should the general think too much, please allow the last general to go out of the city to face the battle!" Gan Ning immediately surrendered to Zhandao.

"Don't worry, these two generals are very strange, have you forgotten Your Majesty's warning not to underestimate the enemy? Let's see what they do first! Chang Yuchun waved his hand.

And in the big array of Yuan's army under the city, Lan Yu said to Fu Youde: "General, I have heard for a long time that Chang Yuchun is famous for his bravery, I am willing to challenge him personally and try what he is capable of!"

"Go ahead, be careful!" Fu Youde nodded in agreement, and Lan Yu immediately rode out with a spear and came to the city to call out: "Chang Yuchun, I have heard for a long time that you are famous for your bravery, I, Lan Yu, have long wanted to meet you, hurry up and go out of the city to fight with me."

At the head of the city, Chang Yuchun saw this and said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, you go and try his reality." Don't be careless! ”

"No!" Gan Ning was overjoyed, and immediately gave up, the city gate opened, and Gan Ning rushed out with a knife, took the blue jade, and scolded: "No name dares to challenge General Chang, I, Gan Ning, will meet you!"

"Hmph, fast bandits, so rampant?" Lan Yu snorted coldly, it seemed that he had also heard of Gan Ning's reputation, and he also rushed towards Gan Ning with a spear.
