The next day, the ambitious Lü Guangqin led tens of thousands of troops to slowly approach Jiuquan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the next few days, news of Lü's approaching army reached Jiuquan one after another.

Everyone became nervous in the face of the tens of thousands of troops approaching from the east.

Lu Guang rode on a horse and looked around, but when he saw the majestic horses under his command, he couldn't help but be ambitious.

At this time, he thought of Du Jin and Wei Shuo's masters and apprentices who were colluding together, and now he really wanted to personally lead the army to show off his might in front of the two of them.

If the other party's attitude is not respectful, he can't recruit him, and he is disrespectful when he comes, he will find an excuse to fight Jiuquan and Dunhuang.

Capture Jiuquan and Dunhuang, force Du Jin and Wei Shuo's masters and apprentices to bow down, and the Hexi rebellion will be completely resolved at once.

The rest of the bits and pieces are a little bit less, and there is no need for him to even go out in person, just his sons Lu Su and Lu Hong can calm down.

At the beginning, Lu Guang personally brought 30,000 elites, plus Lu Shuihu Jingcai who surrendered to Cheng and the Zhangye garrison that was absorbed, and now its total strength has exceeded 50,000 people, which can be described as a strong army.

On the way to Jiuquan after leaving Zhangye, Lü Guang went to Jiuquan to warn Wei Shuo and asked him to come to see him immediately.

If Wei Shuo dares to disobey the order, he will lead an army of 100,000 to level Gaochang.

At this time, Wei Shuo had personally led the iron cavalry to Jiankang County, and there were only 4,000 iron cavalry plus 300 Mo swordsmen under his command, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere, and the difference in strength between the enemy and us was extremely large.

After listening to the envoy's explanation of Lu Guang's request, Wei Shuo was silent, but he blew up Duan Ye and Kang Long, who were standing on both sides.

I saw that Kang Long was angry, and he spat out Chinese that was not very fluent, and shouted: "My lord, Lu Guang deceives people too much. Isn't he just relying on the strength of the crowd, what's the big deal? Dare to even say such things as stepping on Gaochang, isn't this obviously not taking us into account? ”

The rest of the generals and literati staff were in a difficult atmosphere, and everyone was staring at Wei Shuo, waiting for him to say something.

At this time, Wei Shuo stood up, walked up to the envoy who was a little trembling with Kang Long's fright, and said with a smile: "The envoy is frightened, most of Shuo's subordinates are from the army and barbarians, and they are used to the rules, I hope the envoy will not blame." ”

"Come, take the messenger down first, and then prepare some wine for him, so that he can take care of him well, and do not slack off."

After the envoy went down, Wei Shuo turned to the generals and said, "Right now, Lu Guang is powerful, so naturally he won't put us in his eyes, so there's nothing to be angry about." ”

As Wei Shuo spoke, the atmosphere in the hall gradually eased, and the whole discussion gradually became rational.

Duan Ye got up and said, "Lord, this time Lu Guang obviously didn't have a good intention to invite you over, can you agree?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuo shook his head and refused: "No, tomorrow I will personally lead the iron cavalry to talk to Lu Guang in front of the array." ”

He explained lightly: "Lu Guang thought that he was sitting on a large army, and he sent a messenger to condemn a few words casually, and Lao Tzu had to obediently tie his hands." ”

"As everyone knows, from the beginning, I didn't think about working for him."

"In the past, the strength was not good, Lao Tzu had to bow down in front of him and be small, now I have tens of thousands of troops, and there are Gaochang, Dunhuang, Jiuquan three places, why fear a war?"

Hearing this, Kang Long stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Your Excellency is wise, and the last general is willing to fight to meet the enemy." ”

Wei Shuo turned his head and pointed at Kang Long, laughed and said, "Strong! Since you have this ambition, you should follow Shuo and Lu Guang for a while in front of the battle tomorrow. ”

Duan Ye trembled in his heart when he heard this, and persuaded loudly: "Why does the lord have to take risks personally, what if something happens?" ”

"Remember, there is no chance in this battle!"

"Tomorrow is a crucial test of life and death, if you can't force Lu Guang to sign the alliance under the city, what awaits Gaochang will be doomed."

"Duan Taishou, tomorrow you organize the young and strong in the city to line up at the head of the city, and then send all the equipment and banners in the city to everyone, pretending that there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, so as to force Lu Guang not to attack easily."

"And General Shuo personally led four thousand iron horsemen to meet Lu Guang in front of the battle."

"No." The generals should bow down.

……

The next day, when the sun had just risen, tens of thousands of Lu troops were gradually approaching the county seat of Jiankang.

As the saying goes: there are more than 10,000 people and horses, and there is no boundary.

The smoke and dust raised by the 50,000-strong army covered the sky and the sun, and they came from east to west, and all kinds of men and horses put up a formation, and the ranks were endless, mighty and majestic.

Duan Ye, who was standing at the head of the city and watching the battle, was worried, there were 50,000 troops in front of him, and his own lord only brought 4,000 iron horsemen to dare to show off his might and shout to see Lu Guang, isn't this looking for death?

Lu Guang looked at the formation under his command that stretched for several miles, and his eyebrows couldn't help but show a bit of self-satisfaction.

He turned his head and asked his brothers Lu Bao and Lu Yan beside him: "Do you think our army is sure to win this battle?" ”

Lu Bao and Lu Yan have not been in Guzang for a long time, and they are all in the battle formation for the first time, and they have not had the opportunity to express themselves.

Seeing that the elder brother asked automatically, he couldn't help but answer excitedly: "Our army has the advantage in strength and combat power, and the younger brother can't see what the enemy's chances of victory are." ”

Standing next to him was Lu Su, after all, he had dealt with Wei Shuo, and he knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, and now he saw that his uncle only cared about patting on the back, and hurriedly said: "Father, General Du is resourceful, and the surname Wei is not simple, this battle must not be taken lightly." ”

Lu Guang patted Lu Su on the shoulder with satisfaction, nodded, and said with a smile: "What my son said is very true, I think that Wei Shuo is Du Jin's apprentice after all, how can it be so unbearable?" Otherwise, he would not have wiped out the two rebels of Wang Mu and Suo Yi in one battle. ”

"Moreover, the cavalry under his command is powerful and good at attacking. Our army must not attack rashly, otherwise it will surely fall into the disadvantage. ”

After all, Lu Guang was a veteran general in the army, so he sent an order: "The generals must not take it lightly, and they must not attack without the general's order." ”

The main general passed down the military order, and the generals naturally did not dare to slack off, as if they were facing a great enemy for a while.

At this time, Wei Shuo's mount on the opposite side moved, and Kang Long followed closely as a guard.

"You take twenty horsemen and go up with me, and the rest of the men stay where they are."

After Wei Shuo finished instructing Kang Long, he joked again: "You can't go up too many people, in case you are so scared that Lu Guang doesn't dare to come up, it will not be good." ”

Kang Long smiled and said, "My lord, when you go into battle later, you only need one look, and the last general will immediately pull out his mace and smash his mount, and the adult will take the opportunity to capture Lu Guang back to his own formation, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuo laughed, laughed for a while, and then coughed lightly and said, "Kang Long, you can't do this trick, you underestimate the heroes of the world." ”

"What kind of character is Lu Guang, how can he be easily bound? Don't be reckless, Shuo has its own countermeasures. ”

Arriving at the front of the two armies, when approaching the position of the middle line, Wei Shuo and a dozen cavalry immediately appeared abrupt, and Duan Ye at the head of the city took the opportunity to organize the defenders to cheer enthusiastically.

The young man on the city wall, who was originally nervous, suddenly saw that the heavenly and human-like Lord Du Hu in his mind took the initiative to appear in front of the tens of thousands of troops.

Regardless of the final outcome of this battle, this courage alone is enough to make everyone feel excited.

At the same time, Lu Jun was in a commotion.

Wei Shuo, the young man who often made Lu Guang feel jealous, is now closer than ever.

Did he take advantage of the small number of people, tens of thousands of troops rushed up, and took the opportunity to capture the other party?

Just as Lu Guang hesitated, he saw Wei Shuo stop in the middle and didn't move.

The twenty horsemen behind him shouted loudly at the same time: "Wei Zhiyuan is invited in front of the formation, I want to ask the governor a few things, I don't know if the governor dares to follow the car lightly and meet before the battle?" ”

"Wei Zhiyuan is only a county lieutenant, what qualifications do you have to invite your father before the battle? Why don't you let the child meet him? ”

Lu Guang shook his head and said with a dark face: "Wei Zhiyuan asked the old man to meet before the battle, if I don't go, the generals will inevitably think that I am really afraid of him." ”

"Send someone back, and the old man will go and meet him."

"When we're done talking about the old relationship, we'll have a good fight with it."

Soon, with the sound of war drums, Lu Guang also rushed to the center of the battlefield accompanied by twenty horsemen.

The two sides were less than thirty steps apart, and if someone really secretly cast cold arrows at this time, even if the archery skills were not very superb, they might shoot Lu Guang or Wei Shuo.

"Zhiyuan, the old man treats you well, why did you raise troops to rebel?"

"The governor's words are wrong, and he did not rebel against Hexi."

"If you haven't rebelled, why did you steal the city without permission?"

"Governor Rongyu, this time Gaochang sent troops, because of the smoke in Hexi, Du Tingshi was powerless, so he invited Gaochang to send troops to help."

"I was deeply taught by Master Du, how could I not save myself when I saw death? Therefore, only to rejuvenate the military pass. ”

"After not wanting to destroy the rebels, I was stunned to find that the local people were in distress, so in order to settle the victims, I had to temporarily stationed in the city."

Seeing Wei Shuo talking nonsense in a serious manner, Lu Guang almost couldn't help but slap the other party to death.
