Zang Ba waited in Dazhai all night, seeing that the sky was about to dawn and he didn't see the enemy army robbing the camp, he secretly laughed at himself for worrying too much. As soon as www.biquge.info had dismissed the soldiers who had been waiting for him and returned to the camp to sleep, he heard a noise in the distance, and he thought it was the snoring of the soldiers, so he lay on the ground and listened carefully.

Before Zang Ba could hear clearly, he heard the sound of urgent drums in the camp, and hurriedly took down the spear by the big tent and rushed out of the camp.

The noise in the distance came and went quickly, and when he left the camp, the distance was quiet, and Zang Ba pulled a soldier on duty and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There was a shout of killing in the distance just now, I don't know if General Sun and the enemy have fought each other." The soldier said, pointing to the fire on the side of the mountain in the distance.

Zang Ba climbed up to the lookout, and the figure shook under the firelight in the distance, all dressed in Yuan Shujun's clothes, but he didn't see a shadow of Sun Guanjun, Zang Ba's figure shook on the lookout, and he almost planted it, he and Sun Guan were friends, and he couldn't see Sun Guan's shadow, and secretly guessed that Sun Guan was afraid that he was more than lucky.

"Rush to the rescue." Zang Ba rushed down the lookout, stepped on his war horse and killed the place where Sun Guan had been ambushed earlier.

Zang Ba didn't dare to delay, and directly took the unequipped soldiers out of the camp. Not long after leaving the camp, he collided with Ji Ling's army who was coming from Sun Guan.

Ji Ling separated from the big formation, came to the front of the formation and shouted: "I have captured a handful, and the thief will not get off his horse and surrender?" ”

Zang Ba saw that Sun Guan was still alive and well, so he settled down, as long as Sun Guan did not die, he still had the opportunity to beg Lu Bu to try to rescue Sun Guan. It's just that when the soldiers under his command saw the general captured, their morale plummeted.

Zang Ba understood the truth that losing people does not lose the battle, and threatened loudly: "You are Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu?" My lord is on the way here, you should know the methods of my lord to deal with the enemy, surrender at this time can protect you from death in front of the lord, and you can also lead the army to make meritorious contributions. If you are stubborn, the fate that awaits you is death. ”

Ji Ling raised his knife and went out of the battle: "The rebel thief violated the realm, and he was clever in his words." ”

"Watch me capture you in front of the battle!" Ji Ling's army has the upper hand, and what Zang Ba wants most is to capture Ji Ling in front of the battle, and he has no doubt why Ji Ling has the upper hand and has to fight with him alone to delay time.

Zang Ba was eager to save people's hearts and took the lead in killing Ji Ling. The two of you go back and forth, fighting together, and more than 40 rounds have passed, and they are still evenly matched. Zang Ba's martial arts are not much higher than Ji Ling, he can fight a draw with Zhang Fei, it is completely Zhang Fei's main energy to guard against Lu Bu on the side, and he doesn't know that Zang Ba will know Zhao Yun's stunt, otherwise how could Zang Ba be Zhang Fei's opponent.

Zang Ba was bent on saving Sun Guan, his martial arts were originally a flexible route, but he fell behind in a fierce attack, and he couldn't gain the absolute upper hand in a short period of time, but Ji Ling, who was mainly based on strength, took the defense, with a delaying posture.

The longer the two fight, the more Zang Ba has the upper hand, and it seems that it won't be long before Ji Ling can be defeated. Just when Zang Ba was happy, a trace of fire slowly dispelled the night, and his shadow became clearer and clearer in front of him.

"How can there be such a clear shadow in front of you?" Zang Ba was wondering.

"Dazhai is on fire!" The soldiers behind Zang Ba panicked. Zang Ba heard that the camp was on fire, and when he looked back, the flames were soaring.

Ji Ling saw that Zang Ba turned back, and he didn't sneak attack, but directly retreated to the big array: "The enemy Dazhai has been destroyed, and the meritorious service is at this time!" ”

The Zang Ba soldiers saw that Dazhai was destroyed, and the general was captured again, and they had no fighting spirit. They won the true biography of Zang Ba, and if they couldn't beat it, they ran away, and Zang Ba also wanted to rush into battle to save Sun Guan, but seeing that many of his soldiers began to run away, he also turned around and fled behind the soldiers.

Ji Ling fought for more than ten years, and had never seen an enemy general run so fast, and before he ordered the soldiers to pursue, Zang Ba hid in the dense forest, and it was too late to chase him, and he didn't let the soldiers pursue, so he went to Zang Ba Dazhai and took away all the grain and grass that had not been burned.

Winning two games in a row made the morale of the soldiers under Ji Ling's command slowly rise, including Ji Ling himself also felt that Lu Bu's soldiers were vulnerable, and he arrogantly resisted Zang Ba's flag back to Tuzhong.

Zang Ba hid in a safe area, released smoke to collect deserters, the only benefit of his command is that he disperses quickly, gathers quickly, sees smoke rising in the distance, the soldiers who escaped have gathered towards the smoke, Zang Ba counted, there are nearly two thousand people, and only a few dozen soldiers really escaped.

Zang Ba was defeated twice in a row, and he didn't know what to do next, so he said to Xiao Sima beside him: "You send someone to send a battle report to the lord." I will continue to contain Ji Ling's army in the Tuzhong area, and will not let him go to the Huai River to attack while the lord is halfway through. ”

Ji Ling was about to cut off the sacrificial flag when he captured Sun Guan, and Lei Xu came out to persuade: "It is useless for this person to kill, and it can be used for reconciliation." ”

————————————————————————————

At noon the next day, Chen Gong received the news of Zang Ba's defeat. Chen Gong once again sent someone to deliver the news to Lü Bu, who was withdrawing from Guangling City to Huailing.

When Lü Bu received the news from Chen Palace, he quickened his march and ordered his soldiers to rush to Huailing City overnight. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he sent people to the county office to beat the drums of deliberations overnight and gather officials of all sizes to discuss matters.

After Lu Bu arranged the soldiers, he took Gao Shun and Zhang Liao straight to the county office.

When Lu Bu and the three of them arrived at the county office, the big and small officials had already gathered together, and Lu Bu said as he walked: "The military situation is urgent, disturbing your dreams in the middle of the night, let's accompany you first." ”

Lu Bu sat on the main seat, Chen Gong was the first on the right, and Xu Shu was second. The first military general on the left, Gao Shun, followed by Zhang Liao.

"I heard that General Zang Ba was defeated and General Sun Guan was captured, which is my fault. Shouldn't take advantage of the emptiness to let Zang Ba go deep alone, is there a way to rescue him now? Lu Bu secretly regretted that he should not act rashly, he should have waited for the army to arrive and attacked Yuan Shu in one go.

"The soldiers are fast, our army has few soldiers, Jiangdong has to defend, and Shouchun has to take it, this is not the fault of the lord, only blame our army for being lonely." Gao Shun, a hardcore loyalist, was the first to stand up and said.

"Now that Yuan Shu has won a game, and he has captured our generals alive, his morale must be high, and it will be difficult to live in one go." Chen Gongdao.

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Lu Bu smiled arrogantly: "You don't need to worry, our army has hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, and Yuan Shu's army has no particles to cook, and it is not difficult to win Shouchun." ”

Everyone can worry about the unfavorable situation in front of them, but Lu Bu can't show it on his face, he is the courage of the three armies, once he is all discouraged, the people below will only be more worried.

Xu Shu said: "Although Yuan Shu is short of food and grass, our army is still unable to defeat his 100,000 army head-on, besides, our army is still the besieging side, and it is even more impossible to take the city that is several times the defender. The spies also came to report that Sun Ce's army was in a stalemate with Che Guan, and once the two sides were separated, they would turn back and attack our army. Therefore, our army is running out of time. ”

Chen Gong waited for Xu Shu to finish speaking, and then continued: "Yes, not only Che Zhou, but also Chen Deng, the lord should not forget Chen Deng's family, Chen Deng and I have an undying enmity, so that our army is very unfavorable to the enemy, and if we want to get rid of the current situation, we can only evacuate from Huailing as soon as possible and give up a complete Guangling County to Sun Ce and Che Zhou." ”

Chen Gong paused for half a beat and continued: "Since Yuan Shu's army has been dragged in Tuzhong, then we can implement the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, and the army will quickly cross the Huai River south and go south to Tutang. The occupation of Tutang by our army was only slightly troublesome to carry grain and grass, and it was necessary to walk more than 100 miles of waterway, which was not much different from the original plan. In this way, you can get out of the quagmire of Guangling County. ”

Lu Bu nodded and looked at Xu Shu to see if he had any different opinions, and Xu Shu nodded to indicate no objection.

Chen Gong continued: "In this way, our army's marching plan will be slightly adjusted, and the army's offensive route will be changed from the past from Tuzhong through Chengde to Shouchun to a roundabout tactic, and now the marching route has been changed to Tu Tang starting from Liyang and Juchao to take Hefei, as long as Hefei is in hand, Shouchun will be under the edge of our army, the situation will be reversed, our army will defend, and Yuan Shu will attack." ”

As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, a warm voice from the last seat of the hall interrupted Lu Bu's final decision: "In this way, General Zuo will take down a Shouchun that has no population." ”

Lu Bu looked at it, it turned out to be Lu Xun who was forcibly recruited, Lu Xun stood up and first bowed to Lu Bu, and then saluted Chen Gong before saying: "The military strategy is right, it is the best tactic to defeat Yuan Shu, but it is not the best strategy. ”

In order not to embarrass Chen Gong, Lu Bu was made unable to get off the stage by a hairy boy as big as his son, and took the lead in saying: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. Bo Yan, let's talk about your strategic intentions first. ”

Lu Xun asked rhetorically: "I don't know why General Zuo has to bring the population of Guangling with him when he has no place to stand?" ”

"Several counties in Yangzhou were defeated by Yuan Shu into a wilderness, Shouchun is called the big county in the world, and now the population of the county is less than 100,000, I don't migrate the population of Guangling, and where the population comes to farm?"

"No, Shouchun still has at least 100,000 strong people. But General Zuo took Hefei first, and then the 100,000 strong people were gone. Lu Xun said.

"Shouchun has 100,000 people? Plus the old and weak, I'm afraid I can't count 100,000 people. Lu Bu didn't reflect.

"Yuan Shu's so-called 100,000 troops are forcibly recruited from all over the country! If General Zuo really takes Hefei first, it is indeed easy to go down to Shouchun, in this way, when General Zuo feels that Shouchun is dangerous, the 100,000 troops under Yuan Shu will obediently wait for the general to receive it, and will not run away to serve Cao Cao in the north, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Xu Xuan in Runan? Lu Xun asked.

After Lu Xun's reminder, Lu Bu found that this was really a hot problem, there were 100,000 troops that could be used as troops and farmers, and it was a hundred times easier to move to Guanzhong than to move the common people. If you want to move 100,000 people to Guanzhong, you need to do all kinds of work, and you may not be able to persuade them. Lu Bu knew that he was famous, and the generals under Yuan Shu saw that Shouchun was in danger, whether it was for their own interests or the interests of their families, and they didn't take these 100,000 soldiers to other places? In this way, Hefei will lose 100,000 people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Xu Shu also felt that his face was gloomy, he and Chen Gong discussed for a long time to come up with the best marching route, but they didn't consider objective conditions such as population: "I don't know what Bo Yan's high opinion is?" ”

"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top."
