Chapter 10 Knocking on the mountain and gathering the rout

As Chen Deng thought, Lu Bu and his entourage did not go north, let alone go east as Chen Deng assumed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Because they subconsciously believed that Lu Bu was a psychological implication to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou, and stood in Chen Gong's point of view to assume every road.

Lu Bu arrived outside the city of Jiqiu, ordered more than 200 soldiers to run back and forth outside the city, alarmed the Qiu Ling, that is, the Qiu Ling had returned to Cao Cao, and hurriedly ordered to guard the city gate, only to see Lu Bu send troops outside the city to scold, see the city gate to avoid it, and continue to go east.

That is, Qiu Ling waited for Lu Bu to leave, and hurriedly sent someone to send the news to Cao Cao, after Cao Cao learned about it, he was even more sure that Lu Bu was going to flee north, arrive in Changlu first, and set up checkpoints everywhere in the Changlu generation.

Twenty miles away from Jiqiu City, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to rest, the two hundred soldiers who had just been recruited had not been trained, and the rapid march of less than a hundred miles was so tired that they were about to lie down. Of course, Lu Bu is not only to take care of these newly recruited soldiers, but also to recharge his energy now, and to dive back at night, the march during the day is so unbearable, and the march at night is even more of a test.

Night.

The sound of salsa was heard on the silent mountain road, and a group of two or three hundred people walked slowly to the west by touching the moonlight.

Take a closer look, the leader is a very conspicuous man, holding a snake spear taller than him, wearing a dogskin hat and a beast face swallowing head chain armor, and a lion belt around his waist.

This line is none other than Lu Bu and his party who secretly turned back to Xiapi. They went out day and night, avoiding the spies arranged by Cao Cao, and in this era when night blindness was common among ordinary people, they marched for four nights in a row, and only walked for nearly a hundred miles, if it were not for the soldiers trapped in the camp who had been watching around, the newly recruited soldiers would have all fled.

Looking at the billet city at the limit of his field of vision, Lu Bu was full of emotion.

Temporarily got rid of Cao Cao's pursuers, but did not break away from Cao Cao's encirclement, as long as he was still wandering in Xuzhou, the danger was always there. These days, he has been worried, afraid of being recognized by Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao does not see through, once he appears in the lower billet Cao Cao will quickly wave his army to kill back, so now is not the time to take Guangling, you must first grit your teeth and drag down the morale of Cao Bing, drag them back and forth, only Cao Bing's morale is low to the limit, and Lu Bu will have a chance of winning when facing Cao Cao's counterattack after taking Guangling.

According to the plan, stealing Pengcheng is easy to take and difficult to defend, so Chen Gong did not plan to hold Pengcheng, but only to provoke Cao Cao, make Cao Cao tired, and strategically suppress Cao Cao.

"Lord, I've explored Chu, there is a battalion five miles outside Xiapi City, which is at the corner of Xiapi, and Lu Gang, the captain of the military academy in the partial camp, is a nameless person, and the palace wants to seize it to make a strong reputation."

"It's all up to Mr. to arrange, and Bu listens to Mr.'s orders." Lu Bu said first. If Lu Bu didn't express his position, the rest of the army might not listen to Chen Gong's orders. Moreover, it is necessary to make a big noise, so that the scattered men and horses can get the news of Lu Bu's return to Xiapi, so that they can be collected.

Zhang Liao and Lu Qiling also expressed their positions one by one, and even Gao Shun, who was seriously injured, gritted his teeth and stood up: "Very good." ”

Chen Gong did not postpone, the matter was urgent, at this time, how dare to come according to the number of respectful and humble rites, and continued to arrange: "Cao thief army pursues us, at this time, the defenders of the billet will never think that we dare to lead the army back, the defense is loose, the lord can lead the county soldiers to kill the partial camp outside the city, just set fire, the palace and General Zhang led the rest of the camp to ambush at the east gate of the lower billet, just wait for the partial camp to start the fire, the reinforcements in the lower billet city opened the city gate to rescue when we waited to kill the feigned siege, the other party did not know the truth, did not dare to go out of the city to rescue, and when the day dawned, we have controlled the partial camp, When Cao Jun who was defending the city learned that the lord was here, he did not dare to act rashly, and he would definitely send someone to Cao Cao for help. "At this time, there are too few people and horses, if there are thousands of mortals immediately, it is not a problem to seize the next billet, but the only people who can really go to the battlefield to fight are more than 20 people who are trapped in the camp, these people are Gao Shun's diehards, and the other more than 700 people were taken away by Wei Xu and sent to Cao ****. In addition to these twenty or so people who swore not to surrender, the hundreds of other brave soldiers who fell into the camp were all disrupted by Cao Cao and incorporated into other parts of Cao Cao's command.

They used to be invincible trapped in the camp and died, but now they are not, from the moment they surrendered to Cao Cao, their bravery has been buried by Wei Xu.

Chen Gong didn't dare to let Lu Bu make a dangerous move, the danger factor of setting fire to the camp was much lower than that of pretending to attack the city by ambushing at the city gate, once the feigned siege was seen through by the lower guards, and the army came out, no one knew what the consequences were.

"Mr. (father), then what should I do" Everyone else has a task, but Lu Qiling and Chen Yu don't have a task, so they are very urgent.

Chen Gong hesitated for a while, looked at Lu Bu, saw Lu Bu nodded, looking like he was arranged, Chen Gong didn't know what to do for a while, there was no precedent for women to enter the government for thousands of years, and Chen Gong didn't dare to resist the world's disapproval, but he could feel that Lu Bu intended to let Lu Qiling do some military affairs, maybe because the lord had no heirs, he planned to let Lu Qiling inherit the inheritance in the future, Chen Gong suddenly worried about the prospect again.

"Then you protect General Gao... How is it? Chen Gong didn't say this to Lu Qiling, but seemed to be asking Lu Bu's opinion.

Lu Bu's experience in the two lifetimes, how can he not know what Chen Gong means, Chen Gong's attitude is already obvious, he will not support Lu Qiling's participation in military affairs. Lu Bu didn't mean to test Chen Gong, since his number one military advisor didn't support it, not to mention that Zhang Liao Gaoshun, who didn't have his long-term vision, would not easily let women challenge their status.

Lu Bu secretly decided to let Lu Qiling take charge of the army alone no matter what, and now they don't accept it, so let Lu Qiling accumulate meritorious deeds, and it will naturally come to fruition in the future. Since Chen Gong said so, Lu Bu didn't refute it, nodded and said: "Ji Danai is a peerless general, and he has to rely on him to make a comeback when he is trapped, he is now seriously injured and cannot protect himself." You need a person with strong martial arts skills to protect you, and your task is heavy. ”

Seeing that Lu Qiling still refused, Lu Bu frightened: "If Ji Da has any accidents, come and see you." ”

Lu Qiling saw that Lu Bu was even serious, thinking that Gao Shun was the general that Lu Bu valued very much now, and did not dare to be careless, she nodded solemnly, Gao Shun just shouted that he would personally lead the trapping camp to kill the enemy, seeing that Lu Bu valued him so much, he was so moved that he was so moved, and he didn't dare to insist on fighting, in case he lost his life, he was ashamed of his expectations of Lu Bu.

Chen Gong turned his head to look at his son Chen Yu, he very much didn't want his son to follow Lu Bu like him, once he recognized the master, he couldn't regret it for life, otherwise he would have the reputation of betraying the master, and Lu Bu's personality has changed in recent days, but he doesn't have much future at all. And these big families are not willing to put their eggs in one basket, such as the three brothers of the Zhuge family, one follows Dongwu, one follows Shu Han, and one follows Cao Wei, no matter how much they win the final victory, it will not have any impact on the family behind them, but will make the family more brilliant because of their merits.

Chen Gong has not only been unable to persuade his son for several days, but has strengthened his son's determination to follow Lu Bu, and said with a stunned voice: "That's it, since you have chosen this path, whether it is a sword mountain or a sea of fire, my father and son must not retreat and never rebel against each other." ”

Seeing that his father agreed, Chen Yu bowed his head and bowed: "Chen Yu and Chen Zixiao follow the lord today, and they will not hesitate to break their bones." ”

Lu Bu hurriedly pulled up Chen Yu and learned from Cao Cao and said: "The tiger father has no dogs, and today Bu has another talent, which is better than thousands of troops and horses." Bu Zi Pi defeated the army, see through the world, in the future, he must follow the advice, know how to make good use of people, for himself and for the soldiers under his command, the road ahead is very dangerous. Zixiao has a good chest, and you help me, and great things can be expected. ”

Chen Gong saw that his son had already worshiped Lu Bu as the master, and put aside his personal feelings and said: "Zixiao assists the lord to burn the camp, and he must ensure that the lord's safety is in danger." ”

After Zhang Liao Chen Gong took the trapped camp away, Lu Bu looked at the peasant soldiers in front of him, all the pride and ambition in his heart were gone, as soon as they heard that they were going to set fire to the Cao army's camp, they were all so frightened that they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands, it was really embarrassing to Zhang Jiao, to be able to take such a group of people to turn the Han upside down, and also reflected from the cut that this world has reached the point where life is worse than death, and the people who have been ruled and dare not resist have raised their hoes in their hands, but think about how turbid this world is, Lu Bu's heart is heavy.

Lu Bu did not blame the soldiers, he wanted to turn this turbid era upside down, what women could not enter the world, what people could not study, labor and management wanted to break this evil traditional concept, if you want to realize the idea in your heart, then you must first inspire the soldiers in front of you and take the first step, otherwise everything is empty talk.

The soldiers under his command saw that the main general sometimes sighed with long beards and short sighs, sometimes high-spirited, and even more afraid, they didn't know who Lu Bu was, they only heard that Lu Bu was a very powerful official, even more powerful than the county commander.

Lu Bu looked at these soldiers who were so nervous that they were close to collapse, and tried to recall how Cao Cao inspired the soldiers in a desperate situation, and then tried to recall the methods used to motivate the soldiers in later generations, but it was still useless, when they were motivating the soldiers, those soldiers were all trained, and the soldiers under him were all farmers, who were still working in the fields a few days ago, and took out their knives and told them not to farm, and to kill people with me, do they dare? Even if they were forcibly coerced, they still didn't have the guts.

Lu Bu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a case that inspired the farmer to go to the battlefield to fight, and it seemed that he could only flicker like Zhang Jiao.

"Are you afraid?"

The soldiers under his command shrank their heads into their necks one by one, eager to dig their heads into the crotch of their pants, no one dared to bite it, Lu Bu raised his voice and asked sharply: "Are you afraid?" ”

Someone secretly raised his head and saw Lu Bu looking so cold that he wanted to kill: "We are not afraid."

After speaking, he couldn't help crying, and he was afraid of Lu Bu, so he could only desperately suppress his crying.

Lu Bu didn't dare to stop them, once the harsh drinking effect backfired, and they lost the trap camp to maintain order on the side, once Lu Bu drank them, they might immediately collapse and escape.

Since you can't stop drinking, then threaten: "I'm like you, and I'm afraid." I was afraid that they would kill me, dig out my intestines and strangle my neck, boil my flesh in a pot, cut off my head and sit on a stool and eat the meat in the pot. ”

Hearing Lu Bu's intimidation, many soldiers trembled and wanted to turn around and run away, and Lu Bu continued, "After they have eaten and drunk enough, they have the strength to carry knives to slaughter our children, and send our children's heads to Xuchang to invite merit, so that we can cut off our children and grandchildren." Let's go, let's run together, we run, they won't be able to eat us, and if they can't eat, they will catch our children and parents who can't run and cook them...."

"I don't want to cut off my children and grandchildren, I don't want my old father and mother to be eaten by them, kill all these bad guys who got in, and kill all the Cao soldiers who got in." One person in the crowd burst into tears, crying and scolding. In this era, filial piety is preached, and everyone respects their parents, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to peddlers and pawns. Parents and offspring are their dead ends. Only heroes like Liu Guan and Zhang can do the act of killing their wives and children.

"We don't need to kill them, we rush in and set fire to them, and when they are all burned to death, we won't kill our parents and cook our children."

"Burn them... Burn them...", two hundred men shouted, turning their fear into anger. Lu Bu hurriedly pressed his hand: "Silence." ”

Although there are still two or three miles away from the camp, this quiet night alarms the enemy and makes the enemy prepared for how to steal the camp.

Chen Yu, who had no experience in battle, saw that Lu Bu had a few words that made this group of farmers and soldiers excited, nodded at Lu Bu with admiration, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Chen Yu hurriedly sent one of the prepared torches one by one, and waited for Lu Bu, who was going to shoot the night vigil soldiers, to send back the news as agreed.

Lu Bu led a few bold hunters and carried a hardwood bow on his back to sneak towards the side camp first. Although the guards are now sparse and not vigilant, there are also soldiers who keep vigil in shifts as usual.

Lu Bu took a few people to the outside of the camp, looking at the groggy soldiers on the watchtower, it was the fourth watch, the safest time for the subconscious night, and the battlefield was far away, the soldiers on duty did not expect Lu Bu to sneak back to the bottom blank, and the sense of defense was not strong at all.

Lu Bu and the others easily killed the guards from afar, and waved a torch at Chen Yu who was ambushed in the darkness a few times.

Chen Yu led the soldiers to lurk at the fence, destroyed the fence, and set fire to the camp. More than 200 people set fire in many places before the entire camp was alarmed.

"Kill!" Lu Bu summoned a black horse and smashed into the crowd with a snake spear in his hand, and everywhere he went was Cao Bing who had no time to dress and hang armor. Lu Bu rushed to kill in front, and the peasant soldiers followed Lu Bu to set fire to it in a mess, and rushed to kill for more than ten minutes, before the lieutenant lieutenant of the battalion reluctantly organized the soldiers to fight back, and took the guards to see from a distance in the firelight a black horse holding a snake spear under the crotch, and was rushing back and forth to kill the soldiers, and thought that Zhang Fei was coming, and was about to step forward to intercept and kill, at this time Zhang Fei was not famous in the Cao camp.

"Lu Bu is here, and the thief will come and die quickly." Lu Bu beat his horse and rushed straight into the chaotic crowd and killed the main general.

Lu just prepared to confront Lu Bu head-on, as soon as he heard that Lu Bu personally killed, he saw that the soldiers were swept away by the Zhangba snake spear, and the silver-white scratches in the air did not disperse for a long time, and only Lu Bu, who knew how to use demons, could tear the space, and Lu Bu came back from the dead in front of the White Gate Tower, and the invulnerability of knives and guns had already spread in the entire Cao camp, the more Cao Cao suppressed, the more serious the middle and low-level generals in the Cao camp were. Lu Gang was sure that the person in front of him was Lu Bu, and his heart was broken, and at a glance it was full of shaking people, and he couldn't tell the enemy from me. I didn't dare to fight, so I went straight to the city with my personal guards.

Seeing that the main general was fleeing, the remaining soldiers had no fighting spirit, and a honeycomb rushed towards the gate, and the soldiers who had no time to run dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

As soon as Lu Bu saw someone surrendering, he immediately shouted loudly, "Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill!" ”

Chen Yu hurriedly stopped the peasant soldiers who were setting fire everywhere, carrying knives and shouting surrender without killing. Once they gain the upper hand, they shout that they have no sense of self-preservation, and they are more courageous than those who have been trained for a long time, and more than 200 people have no military discipline at all, and they have rushed to the ground with more than 2,000 Cao soldiers in the partial camp, and even more rusty swords and spears in their hands greeted the Cao soldiers who surrendered on their knees.

Chen Yu successively killed a few peasant soldiers who did not obey the military order and attacked the surrender soldiers before shocking other peasant soldiers who were about to move, these peasant soldiers have been suppressed and exploited for generations, and once the courage comes up, their narrow-minded bloodthirstiness will be out of control. If they are allowed to kill the Cao soldiers who surrendered, they will definitely make the Cao soldiers resist to the death, and once someone in the Cao soldiers stands up to lead the resistance, how can this group of peasant soldiers resist.

Lu Bu was like a demon king in front, the Zhangba snake spear stabbed and swept, and the Cao soldiers who were still resisting in front of him were instantly broken through the camp.

As long as they surrendered on their knees, Chen Yu immediately asked them to stand up and take their weapons again, and followed Lu Bu forward to kill, and soon rushed the entire partial camp from east to west of the camp. This is extremely dangerous, once someone leads the counterattack, it seems that the mighty team behind will collapse in an instant, and it will be attacked from the front and back, the danger factor is very high, but there is no way, Lu Bu only has about 200 soldiers, and he can't effectively control the Cao soldiers who surrendered, anyway, they will still run if they should run, and those who want to resist will still resist.

In extraordinary times, the team has changed from more than 200 people to 7 or 800 people in the west of the camp.

After LΓΌ Bu controlled the partial camp, Chen Yu was worried about the mutiny, so he recruited the newly surrendered Cao soldiers in front, and LΓΌ Bu's headquarters pressed the formation in the rear to kill the lower billet. LΓΌ Bu immediately selected a hunter named Xiao Xiong from the previous peasant soldiers, who was bold and had the strength to promote him to the marching Sima and temporarily lead the newly surrendered soldiers of Cao Ying.

Xiao Xiong himself boasted that he was Xiao He's descendant, but his ancestors had been concubines for generations, and he had been reduced to the most ordinary civilians from generation to generation. I don't even know the big characters, but there is a hint of shrewdness in the roughness. Otherwise, Lu Bu would not have promoted him exceptionally. He was also very brave in previous battles.

Just now, the battalion master will flee, and Lu Bu has no way to stop the other party from escaping in the chaotic army, so he can only watch the other party leave. It didn't matter if he ran, but it exceeded his expectations. The other party doesn't have to think about it to run away, and he knows where he will go, so Zhang Liao is very dangerous.

Zhang Liao will be attacked by the defenders in Xiapi City and the rout army led by Lu Gang, but Zhang Liao cannot retreat, once Zhang Liao retreats, Cao soldiers in Xiapi City are killed, LΓΌ Bu will be surrounded by partial battalions and soldiers in the city, if he can't bluff the defenders in the city, Zhang Liao must block the reinforcements with 23 cavalry soldiers who are known for their foot combat.

Lu Bu allowed the fire of the camp that had been controlled to spread, and led the soldiers to kill the city of Picheng, hoping that it would be too late.
