Chapter 213: Attacking Chen Cang

"Chang'an is not going down for a day, the danger is repeated, our army is at risk of suffering from the enemy, why don't you dig a tunnel to take it?" Lu Bu proposed. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is unrealistic to storm Chang'an, and the only way to do it is to start with a shortcut. Zhang Ji's ability is very strong, and Lu Bu's repeated attacks are useless.

"Chang'an is covered with a dense water network, if Zhang both digs deep ravines in the city and fills them with water, our army will dig tunnels in vain." Liu Ye said. Dig a trench in the city, and Lu Bu digs a tunnel to drown himself.

"Only like Shouchun attacked Yuan Shu, dig a trench outside the city gate, prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking out of the city, and slowly trap and die." Xu Shu said, digging a trench outside the city can trap the soldiers in the city, but it only prevents the soldiers in the city from suddenly killing out, and Lu Bu's army has time to line up to meet the enemy.

"Then trap Chang'an first, capture the Ganquan Palace in the west of the city and Ganquan Mountain, and the troops here to block the Xiliang army from crossing the river from Xianyang." Lu Bu's tone became serious: "The generals will listen to the order." Chen Gong sat outside Chang'an City and was responsible for monitoring the defenders in the city. Xu Xuan and Sun Kang are in charge of Xinfeng. Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Lu Meng, Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, and Lu Xun followed me into a big tent. ”

Fortunately, Lu Qiling is in Wuguan, if she has to shout to kill the enemy on the front line, Lu Bu is very worried. In the past, there was no one available, and there was no way to let her charge into battle, but now that there are many talents under his command, Lu Bu has contradictory thoughts again, on the one hand, he hopes that Lu Qiling can go into battle to make meritorious contributions, and he is justifiably entrusted with important tasks, but on the other hand, he is unwilling to let her take risks.

"The lord doesn't plan to use General Wei Yan?" Chen Gong asked. Lu Bu transferred Wei Yan directly to the meridian mouth, and he didn't even see Wei Yan, and he was very annoyed.

"Wait, wait for him to figure it out. I'll go see him in person in a few days. "Now is a critical time, Lu Bu doesn't want to use a general like Wei Yan who doesn't listen to the command, Wei Yan believes in the trickery of soldiers, and is suitable for sneak attacks, not suitable for showing carriages and horses to fight. The battle with Xiliang is not the same thing, in case Wei Yan sells his robe for a while for meritorious service, Lu Bu has to be careful. Anyway, the dispatch of the Xiliang army takes more than three moments, and it will take at least half a month to come to Guanzhong. Yicheng and Guanzhong can also be separated by 600 miles of Longshan, that is, Liupan Mountain in later generations.

After the military discussion, Lu Bu announced another happy event: "Du Xiuniang has given birth to a thousand gold for this general, and she has not yet taken a nickname, do you have any recommendations?" ”

"Ah...... Another woman? Zhang Liao lost his voice, and after finishing speaking, he felt that it was appropriate, and hurriedly added: "Congratulations to the lord." ”

"Congratulations, my lord." Everyone in the hall was disappointed and said incorrectly.

Lu Bu was angry, these people were even more anxious than him, especially Zhang Liao and others very much hoped that Lu Bu could have a son to inherit the inheritance. One by one, they went out of the account to sort out the army, and they were even more unhappy than their mother-in-law giving birth to a daughter.

The next day, Lu Bu's army rushed to Huxian, and Lu Bu gave an order, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun each took a section to surround Huxian. Lined up the formation, the flag door opened, Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd, the red rabbit under the crotch rushed out of the formation, and Zhou Cang and Wei Yue stood on both sides. Lu Bu raised his head and asked: "This general will be ordered to attack, will General Wu fight or surrender?" ”

Wu Xi hurriedly rolled down the city, opened the city gate, went to Lu Buzhongjun alone, and pleaded guilty in front of him: "The guilty general Wu Xi, against the king's division, hopes that General Fuguo will take care of the account regardless of his previous suspicions." ”

"General Wu is a person who understands current affairs, and a little bit is insignificant. It is our duty to wait for the martial artists to fight and kill the enemy, protect the family and defend the country, and in the future, General Wu should make more military exploits and report to the Son of Heaven. Lu Bu first bowed in the direction of Xuchang, and then helped Wu Xi up. In addition to the eyes hidden by the essence, this person has a mediocre appearance, and occasionally a trace of coldness, and he is ruthless at first glance. Lu Bu put away the idea of judging people by their appearance in his heart, and left Wu Xi under the tent. Deng Yi, a civilian officer with the army, was sent to take over Huxian.

The pavilions and pavilions of Jianzhang Palace and Ganquan Palace are still the same, but the outer palace walls have been destroyed, and at first glance, Zhang Ji has destroyed the palace wall one step ahead of Lu Bu, and it is already very good that he did not burn the entire palace. There was not a single defender in the palace, and Lu Bu's army took Jianzhang Palace into his hands without a single soldier.

Before long, Zhang Liao led the army to reinstate, and Ganquan Palace was not defended by enemy troops, so he directly sent troops to move in.

Lu Bu's original plan was to need a fierce battle for several days to fully control the surroundings of Chang'an, but he didn't expect to greatly speed up, Lu Bu looked at the map in a daze, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Cang.

Chen Cang is located at the west end of the Qinchuan River in the south of 800 miles, the Qinling Mountains in the south, the remaining veins of Longshan in the north, and the Guanlong Avenue in the north is the only way for Longyou to reach Guanzhong quickly.

There is another factor for Lu Bu to cross the Wei River to attack Chencang, that is, this part of the Longshan remnant on the north side of Chencang, also known as Guanshan, is a natural and excellent pasture, and the ancient Qin people came to the aid of war horses. Only by occupying it can LΓΌ Bu have a steady stream of cavalry.

Jiang Yin, the commander of Chencang County, received Wei Kang's order and was stepping up preparations for grain and grass in Chencang to prepare for the arrival of the army.

LΓΌ Bu's army marched to Yiwu, Zang Ba went out of the city to greet him, LΓΌ Bu left Chen Yu in Hewu to replace Zang Ba, as long as Chen Cang succeeded, Hewu would not become the front line, leaving a cronie with low strength to guard the city foolproof. The checkpoint built by Huo Jun in Wuzhangyuan was not completed, and Lu Bu sent Li Shang to take over from the middle of the army and replace Huo Jun in front of the account. There were too many strong generals in the Xiliang army, and Lu Bu gathered all the generals as much as possible. If Wei Yan wasn't too arrogant, Lu Bu wouldn't have refrigerated him at this critical time.

Lu Bu's sudden attack disrupted Jiang Yin's plan, he sent someone to investigate carefully, Lu Bu was building a pass in Wuzhang Plain, he didn't expect Lu Bu to attack suddenly, he didn't even have time to destroy the wooden bridge across the Wei River, Lu Bu's army came to the city.

Chen Cang is a place where soldiers must fight, the city is strong, and the garrison materials in the city are sufficient. Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, and made a loud noise, attacking fiercely, but before he got close to the city, thousands of arrows were fired at the head of the city.

Lu Bu sent a large army to surround all the four gates to death, and went out of the battle to threaten: "A certain is the general of the Han Auxiliary State, Lu Bu is also, please ask the city guards to speak." ”

"You and other Han rebels and thieves, do not respect the emperor's decree, and secretly hide jade seals. Now Cao Gong is crusading against the rebels, and you take the opportunity to make chaos and invade our territory, so that the people are miserable and separated by blood. I can't wait to eat your meat, sleep on your skin, I have nothing to say to you! Jiang Yin angrily cursed at the head of the city.

"How can this be true, how can it be true!" Lu Bu was scolded and immediately furious: "You are reversing black and white, the Cao thief palace slaughters loyal ministers, kills the noble concubine in the palace, the Son of Heaven is not guaranteed day and night, you don't think about reporting the national disaster, and the servile and kneeling are the ones who hide and shrink their heads, trying for food and clothing." I have a word, and the armies will listen quietly: if the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

"Ho ho ho!" Lu Bu's army raised its arms and shouted, with a strong momentum.

Lu Bu wiped around Chencang City, and returned to the camp to raise his tent: "The city is dangerous and solid, and it is not easy to attack. It took a long time to storm this city, and countless soldiers and horses were lost, so it was better to use a plan to break it. ”

Liu Ye was worried that the defenders would not accept the recruitment, and only held the city: "The enemy will defend the city to the death, and he has to do it, so what can he do?" ”

"I have a plan, the enemy will want to defend the city to the death, just lure it out. I don't know where Zhong Miao hoarded grain and grass? Lu Bu asked.

The spy replied: "I waited for countless carriages and horses to go back and forth in Huangcheng at the foot of Guanshan, and the ruts were deep, and I must have transported a lot of grain. ”

"Zhong Xuan is good at tricks, Huangcheng is backed by Guanshan, and the front is by the Wanghe River, is it possible that he wants to transport grain by the river?" Lu Bu asked.

"Is the lord trying to rob the grain road? Zhong Xuan's army has not yet returned, and the grain and grass of the Xiliang army are mainly raised by live cattle, which can be carried with the army. I'm afraid that the grain and grass hoarded in Huangcheng are only needed for a few days, and the grain and grass that are robbed will not itch or hurt Zhong Xuan, and will not affect the overall situation. Our army is lightly armed and passes through the warehouse, what if the enemy army goes out of the city and cuts off our grain route? Xu Shu said. Because of food and grass, every time a city passed through a war in this era, it had to be conquered, otherwise the supply route would be cut off to the enemy.

"Yuan Zhi is not in a hurry, I am leading the enemy defenders out of the city to rob my rear camp." Lu Bu said confidently.
