Lu Bu's army stayed outside the city for one night, and just after dawn, he walked straight through Chen Cang, and the guard Jiang Yin was a little unsure of Lu Bu's intentions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Jiang Yin looked at the columns of soldiers walking around the city and heading to Guanlong Avenue on the city and asked, "What does Lu Bu mean by this?" ”

"Lu Bu doesn't know the art of war, aren't you afraid that I will wait to go out of the city and cut off his food route?" The deputy general, He Chuan, also didn't understand what Lu Bu was going to do.

"Lu Bu has fought repeatedly, full of wisdom, and his strategists are like clouds, but he doesn't know the importance of the back road, and there must be fraud in this. We waited for the change to respond to all changes, and sent scouts out of the city to investigate Lu Bu's intentions. As a general, Jiang Yin understands very well what it means that the back road is cut off, and even he understands the problem, it is impossible for Lu Bu not to understand.

If the supply line is cut off, the information is blocked, the food is eaten up, the reinforcements are blocked, the weapons are insufficient, the retreat route is broken, and the enemy is attacked on the belly and back, etc., which may seriously lead to the shaking of morale, the lack of fighting spirit of the soldiers, and finally the rout of the whole line. Any one of these possibilities will lead to a big defeat, and it is impossible for Lu Bu not to understand.

Jiang Yin carefully paid attention to the movements of Lu Bujun's army outside the city, the grain and grass carried by Lu Bujun was barely enough for three days, Jiang Yin had already made up his mind to watch it for three days first.

"Report, Lu Bu divided his troops into two routes, one way to the northwest against the river, and one way to the west from Guanlong Avenue." Two hours later, the scout sent the news back to the city.

"Suffer!" Jiang Yin has always felt that the grain and grass carried by Lu Bu was full of doubts, it turned out that Lu Bu's attention was to attack Wangcheng and seize the grain and grass from Huangcheng for the army to eat, no wonder he only carried so much. Jiang Yin only knew that Wei Duan, the son of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weikang, was preparing grain and grass and transported a lot of grain and grass to Wangcheng, but he didn't know how much grain was transported to Wangcheng. If Lu Bu robbed the grain and grass, what would the Xiliang army eat when it came? Jiang Yin was secretly anxious.

Jiang Yin looked forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the waiters out of the city to send back the news, and sent several waves of scouts in a row to hear nothing, afraid that it would be more auspicious and less auspicious. waited until late at night, and finally a dark night outside the city sneaked under the city and shot an arrow.

Jiang Yin took down the letter on the arrow: "Lu Bu sent troops to build a pass in Cangshui Xiaogu!" ”

Jiang Yin raised his voice and shouted towards the city and asked, "Is there any news from Huangcheng?" ”

"The enemy army set up defenses everywhere on the mountain road of Wangcheng, and the brothers who approached were captured and killed." The scout reluctantly replied loudly to Jiang Yin's question.

"What people!" The sound of the scouts alarmed the Lü Bu army who were watching outside the city. Jiang Yin watched as the last eyeliner outside the city was also cleared.

Jiang Yin didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the day dawned, he stared at the outside of the city with bloodshot eyes. I saw a column of grain and grass soldiers pushing empty carts passing under the city. In the evening, countless grain and grass soldiers struggled to push rows of grain and grass carts in a line, and the ruts were so deep that several soldiers could push a sackcloth-covered vehicle, which was slow to move, and only filled with grain could it be so heavy.

The next day, it was still the same. Lü Bu's soldiers left early and returned late, but there were many fewer grain and grass trucks than on the first day, and it seemed that all the grain had been brought back.

Jiang Yin waited for two more days, this was already the fourth day, Lu Bu only brought grain and grass for three days, Jiang Yin did not see Lu Bu's army transporting grain and grass to the front line, but instead transported a lot of grain back from the front line, and did not see the withdrawal of troops, most of the city has been lost, otherwise the food from Lu Bu is for the army to consume!

In the afternoon, the pace of clattering outside the city sounded, and I saw countless soldiers carrying wood to the front line, Jiang Yin secretly calculated that there were at least six or seven thousand soldiers outside the city.

"The proud soldiers will be defeated, God help me!" Jiang Yin snorted.

"What do you mean, General?" He Chuan asked puzzled. Lu Bujun is building a checkpoint in front, why isn't Jiang Yin worried and happy?

"Brother Xian, I silently calculated the soldiers that Lu Bu has passed by in the past few days, Lu Bu took about 40,000 soldiers on the first day, 15,000 people in the grain transport force on the second day, and only 10,000 actually came back, and on the third day, there were 7,000 people in the grain transport team, and 5,000 people actually came back. What does this mean? Jiang Yin asked.

He Chuan said: "Lu Bu is not manpowered, and he wants to mobilize the army to the front line, so as to hide from the world!" ”

Jiang Yin said: "Yes, the troops left by Lu Bu to besiege Chen Cang on the first day are about 20,000, excluding the troops who were secretly transferred to the front line before and after, and now the army of Lu Bu outside the city is less than 6,000."

"Why should Lu Bu take the risk, this is unreasonable."

"It shows that the Xiliang reinforcements are about to arrive, and Lu Bu is competing with our army for time to build the checkpoint. He thought that he had deceived me and deceived me by deceiving me, and there was no one in Longxi! Jiang Yin said. Jiang Yin's face turned cold: "Quickly order troops, and now go out of the city to steal the camp!" ”

"Sneaking camp during the day? It's better to go back in the evening. He Chuan said.

"If it's a sneak attack, it's supposed to be the middle of the night. The enemy defenders will certainly not be able to resist our daytime attack, and they will not be able to parry it in a hurry. If you wait until midnight, if Lu Bu's army returns, it will be a failure. ”

Jiang Yin thought that he had seen through the mystery, ordered all the soldiers and horses in the city, and killed Lu Bu's camp on the other side of the river. The garrison was sparsely guarded, and when he suddenly saw the enemy approaching, he panicked. Jiang Yin led the army to smash directly, cut down Dazhai, and killed the generals. I could only hear shouts from all sides, Huang Zhong on the left, Zhang Liao on the right, Gao Shun on the front, and the three-way army overthrew the walled fence and killed together, trapping Jiang Yin's army in the core.

Countless Lu Bu soldiers poured in, no less than 30,000, arrows rained down, and Chen Cang's troops were only 6,000 in total, and they couldn't resist it. Jiang Yin hurriedly retreated, and reflexively fought out.

"Brother Zun retreats quickly, and a certain one will be broken!" He Chuan rushed left and right in the chaotic army, opened a bloody road, and let Jiang Yin go first.

He Chuan bravely attacked, and there were few for a while, and the soldiers retreated one after another. In the distance, Huang Zhong's flying horse came with a knife, people were everywhere, He Chuan's head was in the air, and his body suddenly collapsed.

Jiang Yin stood out of the encirclement, and there were several horsemen around him, and he hurriedly crossed the bridge and walked towards the city. At the city gate, a member of the general wearing a beast-faced swallowing head chain armor, a delicate lion belt with a waist and a halberd in his hand, sat down and neighed the red rabbit horse, standing on the horse, blocking the way.

Lu Bu looked at Jiang Yin, who was cloaked, his armor was hanging diagonally, his body was broken, and his hands were empty, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "A certain has taken Chen Cang, will the thief surrender or not?" ”

Jiang Yin raised his head and looked at the city, only to see that the city had already replaced his pennant logo, and the words 'General Fuguo' were very eye-catching on a large page.

"I'm not convinced." Jiang Yin shouted: "A certain obviously calculates that there are less than 7,000 soldiers in the camp, why are there as many as 30,000 or 40,000!" ”

It turned out that Lü Bu did not attack Wangcheng, but only set up camp thirty miles away. Huangcheng is backed by Chongshan, the front is by the Jun River, and it is a heavy place for the army to hoard grain, how can it be conquered in half a day. The so-called grain and grass brought back the next day was nothing more than loading the soldiers on grain and grass carts and transporting them back to the camp to fill the void in the rear army. When the front-line soldiers were transported back, the grain and grass consumed were of course greatly reduced, and the remaining Lu Bujun certainly had grain and grass to eat.

Jiang Yin saw that Lu Bu had always had food and grass on the front line, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to secretly transport the soldiers back, but he only felt that the camp was empty, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he lost Chen Cang.

Jiang Yin's face was struggling, Lu Bu had a bad reputation, but his prestige was known all over the world, from the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass in the past, he was famous in all directions, and in the past six months, he has been up and down several times, and he is cruel to the enemy's methods, thinking of Lu Bu's slaughter of the family several times, Jiang Yin shuddered. Now that Lu Bu took advantage of his troops, he had taken down Chen Cang, causing him to lose the city, and he was no longer able to deal with Lu Bu, and he could not save the lives of the little family in the city, Jiang Yin knelt on the ground with a face full of humiliation.

Taking down Chen Cang, Lu Bu originally wanted to lead the army deep and completely occupy Guanlong Avenue, but Lu Xun objected: "Longshan Mountain is undulating for hundreds of miles, our army's foundation is unstable, and logistics are difficult to guarantee. It is better to give this way to Zhong Xuan, stretch the front of the other army, and our army will hold Chen Cang and wait for work. ”

Because of the terrain, Zhong Miao came to the west, and Chen Cang was the only way for him, and Lu Bu only needed to hold Chen Cang, which would be a victory. Lu Xun said very well, Zhong Xuan would not be as aggressive as Lu Bu, pouring out the soldiers and coming in one swoop. Zhong Xuan will definitely fight steadily, and the army will be divided into countless waves and slowly assemble towards Guanzhong. Because Xiliang is dominated by cavalry, he can run quickly, but the grain and grass transported cannot withstand the consumption of the army, and giving Guanlong Avenue to Zhong Xuan will only exacerbate the difficulty of Zhong Xuan's escort of grain and grass.

Speculating in this way, without a few months of preparation, it will not be possible to fight at all. While Lu Bu stepped up the reinforcement of Chencang, he also stockpiled grain and trained soldiers to make final preparations for the next big battle.

——————————————————————————————

Liu Bei thought that it would be difficult for the people to go to Guangling, and Cao Cao would chase after him, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao had already seen through Liu Bei's treacherous plan, Cao Cao let Liu Bei flee south, and the army approached to attack Shouchun. Liu Bei was confused and lost the last place to stay.

Liu Bei abandoned his family, took his soldiers to take Cao Cao first, went west along the Yangtze River, and defected to Liu Biao. Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly, he also has a strong enemy in the north, Liu Biao is not an easy person, his strength is more than Cao Cao, if he invades Jingzhou, angers Liu Biao, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao alliance, then Cao Cao is all over.

This east to Xuzhou, Cao Cao once again pinched Xuzhou as a hand, but failed to completely kill Liu Bei, so that Cao Cao was very dissatisfied, he would rather fight Xuzhou than kill Liu Bei. Failing to make a contribution, Cao Cao's thoughts jumped: "Now that you can't capture Liu Bei, why don't you go west to ask Lu Bu?" ”

Cheng Yu's face was worried, Yuan Shao could attack Xuchang at any time: "Lu Bu can't take Tongguan and Wuguan lightly, Yuan Shao often has the intention of trying Xuchang, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the weakness, it is better to return to the court." ”

"Although Yuan Shao is strong, he hesitates a lot when encountering problems, and his advisers are jealous of each other, so why worry." Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were confidants and friends, and they knew Yuan Shao's character very well, and compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was more afraid of Lu Bu. Lu Bu risked the disapproval of the world, on the grounds of crusading against the ministers, not only put the people of the world together, but even the Son of Heaven of Xuchang also fooled together, and the Son of Heaven was waiting for Lu Bu to go to King Qin in the palace.

"Everyone in the world thinks that the prime minister is jealous of Yuan Shao, and he will definitely feel that the prime minister will return to Xuchang, and Lu Bu will definitely be unprepared, and the crusade against Lu Bu will be half successful, and the prime minister is not greedy for merit, as long as he wins the martial arts, he will return to Xuchang." Cao Cao's heart is bright, he is unprepared to attack Lu Bu, as long as he captures Wuguan and does not use troops to fall into this quagmire, he will have time to deal with Yuan Shao, and he will not dare to devote himself to the battle with Xiliang.

The main Lu Bu guarded Wuguan and Tongguan to death, Cao Cao could not get a little information about the battle in Guanzhong, he was worried that Zhong Xuan would not be able to integrate the Xiliang forces to defeat Lu Bu, as long as Wuguan was captured, Lu Bu would face the enemy on his back, and Cao Cao would not produce a single soldier, and he could also invisibly contain a lot of Lu Bu's military strength.

It is said that Liu Biao's general Huang Zu fought with Sun Ce in Jiangxia, lost one after another, almost the whole army was wiped out, and more than 7,000 warships were lost.
