Chapter 18: Fighting Lu Bu Again

Cao Cao's reaction was not unpleasant, from the time he received the news, but in just three days, Gao Ye's forward battalion had already killed Chen Liu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis time, Cao Ren finally guarded Yingchuan, so Gao Ye mobilized his own guard battalion and Gao Shun's trapping camp together and set off with him. Speaking of which, these two thousand men and horses are their own private soldiers, eating their own rice and grain, and they have nothing to do with Cao Cao. Now, for the sake of Cao Cao's great cause, Gao Ye also has to mobilize the strongest soldiers and horses under his command to go to kill Lu Bu who is coming.

It seems that in this era, every general has his own private guard, or, called a personal guard. These soldiers are usually the most powerful in an army. After all, the biggest task of the guards is to protect the safety of the commander, and the second is to use it as a surprise soldier when the war is not going well. If you want to take on such a task, how can these soldiers not be elite? Therefore, although loyalty is the first element in the selection of personal guards, physical fitness and ability are also factors that cannot be ignored.

The trapping camp and the pro-guard battalion usually do not produce, in addition to training every day, it is training, especially under the leadership of Gao Shun, the training of the trapping camp is even stricter. This is also the reason why the soldiers trapped in the camp are more elite than the guard battalion of Gao Ye. Of course, the military salary they can get every month and the meals they enjoy on weekdays are naturally more generous than those of the personal guard battalion. When they become professional soldiers, their combat effectiveness is even stronger, which is also a proper duty.

However, unlike Gao Yeman's imagination, Gao Yeman thought that he would be in Xuchang or as soon as he entered Chenliu, he would meet Lu Bu's army. After all, the most elite of Lu Bu's subordinates is the Bingzhou cavalry, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command are foot soldiers, in this case, if Lu Bu wants to fight quickly, he should force himself to fight with him in the field. After all, cavalry has a natural restraint on infantry, especially in the open plains, and the charging cavalry can definitely inflict great losses on the infantry.

It's a pity that things are completely different from what Gao Ye thought, and he is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Chen Liucheng now, but the scouts came to report, and there was no trace of the enemy army twenty miles away. This alone makes Gao Ye feel very strange. Could it be that he came too quickly, and Lu Bu didn't have time to react?

Facts have proved that the mobilization of Cao Cao's military horses did make Chen Gong feel a little caught off guard. Although everything was going according to his predictions, there was one thing that he didn't expect. He was full of thoughts that even if Cao Cao sent troops, he would not attack on both sides until Jiyin's men and horses were ready. Therefore, Chen Gong, who always pays attention to the dynamics of Jiyin's soldiers and horses, did not expect Yingchuan's soldiers and horses to come so quickly.

In addition, Lu Bu had just entered Dongjun, and the soldiers and horses had been in war for a long time and were in urgent need of cultivation, so that Gao Ye's vanguard battalion had already been killed near Chenliu, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses had just arrived in Chenliu City. Zhang Miao, who had been in a panic all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Gao Ye's prestige has long been thunderous to him. Not to mention the achievements of the border pass that year, let's just say that when the princes were fighting for Dong, he was extremely jealous of the soldiers and horses under Gao Ye, and he had a deep understanding of their combat effectiveness. Now Gao Ye has killed Chen Liu, although he has 30,000 soldiers and horses, but there are only half of them in the city, and the other soldiers and horses are stationed in various counties. With only 15,000 people, can they really resist the attack of the high night? Wasn't the 100,000 army in Yuan Shu's hands killed by him? Now that Lu Bu's 20,000 horses have arrived, in terms of troops, his side is several times that of Gao Ye. In terms of strength, Lu Bu's martial arts are much higher than Gao Ye, and with Chen Gong's advice on the side, it was not until this time that Zhang Miao felt that he could settle down a little.

"Gongtai, now that Mingxi is bringing troops here, how do you think we should respond?" Chen stayed in the city, Lu Bu asked. To be honest, Lu Bu was still a little jealous of Gao Ye. Although he himself feels that his martial arts are invincible in the world, but after knowing Gao Ye for so long, he knows better that Gao Ye's use of soldiers can be described as tricky. Not to mention how he plotted to go to the unlucky ghost back then, let's just say that a few years ago, if Li Ru hadn't explained Gao Ye's plan to himself, how could he know that he was plotted by Gao Ye at that time? Fortunately, at this time, he has a Chen Gong who has some planning ability, and the enemy is current, so it is good to listen to his opinions more.

Chen Gong smiled slightly and said: "Although Gao Ye came, he was just the vanguard of Cao Cao's army, and his strength was only 10,000, and it was easy to break." When he came to camp in the city, while his foothold was not stable, the lord sent troops to attack him, and Gao Ye would definitely be defeated. It's just that as soon as Cao Cao's men arrive, there will be a hard battle at that time. The lord might as well send a general at this time, leading 20,000 foot soldiers, and set up camp ten miles southeast of the city, and Chen Liucheng is a horn of each other. When Cao Cao comes to attack the city, then the men and horses here can attack the back of Cao's army. If Cao Cao attacked the camp, the lord could go out of the city and attack Cao's army. In this way, Ren Cao Cao's 100,000 army will not be able to take Chen Liucheng. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu praised repeatedly: "Gongtai is really a good strategy, I don't think it is inferior to Mingxi." ”

When Chen Gong heard this, although there was no change in his complexion, he really felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart. This Lu Bu can't boast about anyone, what can he say that his ability is almost comparable to Gao Ye? Is Gao Ye very powerful, in front of my Chen Palace, Gao Ye is just a busy person. It's just a bit of luck that made him so famous. To say that my Chen Gong's skills are comparable to him is insulting me! Look at me this time, and prove to the world that my Chen Gongtai's ability is unparalleled in the country.

However, Lu Bu didn't realize at all what Chen Gong was thinking now, so he immediately ordered Zang Ba to take Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and 20,000 Chen Liu's foot soldiers to camp outside the city. Together with other generals, he waited for the arrival of the high night in Chenliu.

To be honest, Chen Gong's idea is very good, but he seems to have forgotten that when Gao Ye dealt with Yuan Shu's attack last year, he used the trick of attacking the camp before he had a stable foothold, and now Gao Ye himself led his troops to prepare to attack Chen Liu, how could he accidentally guard against such a thing? To be honest, even if he and Lu Bu met and retreated, it would not be a big problem, but if something went wrong with the camp, he, the pioneer, would really have to accept the guilt. After all, the duty of a pioneer is to open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water. Defeat was not a problem, and fighting was not something that the vanguard army had to do.

Therefore, Gao Ye ordered Pan Zhang to set up camp ten miles southwest of the city, and he took the trap camp and the personal guard camp together, and went straight to Chen Liucheng to fight. Gao Ye's move made Chen Gong inexplicable. In his opinion, Gao Ye's unsympathetic behavior to the military was really stupid to the extreme. Such a person can also be called a famous general, which is really ridiculous.

In the face of the battle of the high night, Lu Bu would not think so much, since he came, he would fight by himself. There are only 2,000 men and horses on the left and right, and there are still 30,000 troops in his city, so what is there to be afraid of?

The city gate was wide open, and Gao Ye was in front of the battle, and he saw Lu Bu's soldiers arriving. As if because of Gao Ye's small number of soldiers, Lu Bu was not to be outdone, and only took two thousand men and horses out of the city, and lined up to face Gao Ye. Gao Ye was in front of the battle, and behind him were Gao Shun and Han De. In front of the opposite formation, Lu Bu walked to the front of the formation, and behind him Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and Cao Xing. Chen Gong and Zhang Miao stood on top of the city tower and watched the enemy for Lu Bu.

Gao Ye saw Lu Bu coming, and he also took a few steps forward on his horse, and smiled: "Don't come first." ”

Lu Bu also laughed and said, "I don't want to fight Mingxi again today." ”

Lu Bu said, glanced at Gao Ye, and both laughed. Gao Ye smiled, then his face turned pale, and he said slowly: "It's just that why did Fengxian invade Yanzhou for no reason?" If you come to Yingchuan to find me, wouldn't you be happy if you and I drank and talked, and why should you fight for life and death here? ”

"Hmph, Mingxi, if you dominate one side, maybe I will defect to you. Now that you are sending people under the fence, what good will I invest in? In Chang'an, I am loyal to Your Majesty, punish Dong Zhuo, and add officials to the knighthood! How do you know that Li and Guo were killed, and His Majesty forced Wang Yun to death in order to survive! I also had to flee Chang'an. took refuge in Yuan Highway, and that guy was even more unbearable, for fear that I would take away his power and drive me away. Then he took refuge in Yuan Benchu, and also helped him fight Zhang Yan and stabilize Jizhou. I didn't expect this guy to send someone to plot against me while I was sleeping! When Lu Bu said this, he couldn't help but pick up Fang Tian's halberd, pointed at Gao Ye and said, "It's better to rely on others than on yourself!" I, Lu Fengxian, have the ability to do it, how can I not be a family of my own! Yanzhou is the Yanzhou of the Han Dynasty, not the Yanzhou of Cao Mengde! I'm Lu Feng first, what can I do? ”

Gao Ye listened to it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Lu Bu's words seemed to be right, and the most important thing was that he had indeed suffered such a tragic thing as being calculated by the lord to take refuge. Also, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, who can rest assured that a guy like Lu Bu will serve his life under his hands? Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Xie were all his masters. Ding was plotted by Li Su for reasons, and Dong Zhuo died in his hands. As for Liu Xie, who knows if Lu Bu himself found it difficult to resist, so he abandoned the emperor and sneaked away?

Now that he has met Chen Gong again, with Lu Bu's brain, he will definitely burst with self-confidence if he is casually bewitched by Chen Gong. Thinking that dominating the world is just an easy thing to do. It's just that Chen Gong took refuge in Lu Bu, and he also had his own purpose. Even himself and Cao Cao were put together by Chen Gong, with Lu Bu's IQ, how could he beat this guy? I'm afraid that in the end, he will be sold by Chen Gong, and he will have to count the money for him.

"In that case, then there is nothing to talk about between you and me?" Gao Ye frowned and said, "That Chen Gongtai is just a villain, when Feng first listens to his words, he must be cautious." ”

"Haha, Mingxi, when the tiger prison was closed, you had a divisive plan, and there was a rift between me and Dong Zhuo. Today you are trying to stir up the relationship between me and Chen Gong? Lu Bu laughed and said, "How can the same strategy work twice on my Lu Bu, Mingxi, you underestimate me too much." ”

"Haha, I'm just a kind reminder." Gao Ye said that, he raised his phoenix wings and gold boring, and shouted loudly: "I haven't seen you for many years, let me see if Lu Fengxian, who single-handedly blocked the attack of the princes of the Nineteenth Route back then, is still as powerful as he was back then!" ”
