Chapter 337: Lu Bu's defense
There is a Weishui connection between the North Plains and Wugong.
For Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, they also understood that if Ma Bin led the army downstream, the consequences might be unimaginable. Moreover, this place is very close to Chang'an, once Ma Bin seizes the martial arts, it means that it can have enough deterrence against Chang'an.
Lu Bu in the handsome tent looked quite anxious, after all, Xu Rong's entire army was annihilated, and the news that Yuzhong was taken not only reached him, but also to Dong Zhuo.
The Hanchen in the court were really shocked when they heard such news, and even the emperor, who had always been silent, was a little flustered.
Dong Zhuo had clearly ordered Lu Bu that no matter what, he must guard his martial arts and prevent Ma Bin from advancing eastward, otherwise, he would not have to return to Chang'an.
While actively mobilizing troops to support Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo also asked Li Ru to quickly do everything possible to recapture the lost land.
Fighting with Ma Bin again, Lu Bu didn't have much bottom in his heart, but he also understood that this was the time of life and death, and if he couldn't stop Ma Bin, everything he had now would come to naught.
"General Zhang, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
Lu Bu was a little dazed, so he asked Zhang Ji first.
Zhang Ji frowned, and only said after a long time: "At present, Ma Bin has no intention of taking the initiative to attack, which means that he wants to drag us down!" If we don't take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid that once the Hanzhong soldiers on the Yuzhong side come to support Ma Bin, I'm afraid it will be a big deal at that time! ”
"Will they all come back?"
In fact, in Lu Bu's opinion, Ma Bin will definitely not take the initiative to attack Ma Teng for the time being.
Zhang Jidao: "It's hard to say this at the moment! The spies are still in the news! But one thing is certain, whether Ma Bin will kill Ma Teng in one fell swoop. There will be an army to support him! ”
"This guy is so arrogant! Dare to fight on three sides! Today, I'm afraid that only he Ma Bin can do such a thing! Fan Chou looked angry and clenched his fists, as if he was going to eat Ma Bin alive.
Lu Budao: "This year, his strength has indeed grown a lot!" But as long as we can tear a gap, he will all lose all his efforts! ”
After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou nodded, Lu Bu said, "It seems that we can't accompany him like this!" The more it consumes, the more dangerous it is for us! ”
Zhang Jidao: "What General Lu said is extremely true! Why don't we divide our forces and take the initiative to attack! The last general didn't believe that Ma Bin's more than 10,000 men dared to concentrate all in Beiyuan! ”
Fan Chou said: "As far as the last general knows, there are also Ma Bin's people in the Xinping area. However, there are not many people, and the last general is willing to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to take the initiative to attack from the north! ”
Seeing Fan Chou taking the initiative, Zhang Ji also said: "The last general is also willing to take 5,000 men and horses to attack from the north!" ”
Lu Buluo thought about it and said: "In this case, we might as well advance in three ways, and General Zhang will attack Bin County." General Fan directly attacked Yinmi, and if he could take Yinmi, it would be equivalent to directly nailing a nail in Ma Bin's back! General Ben doesn't believe that he can stay in Beiyuan with peace of mind! ”
Fan Chou said: "It's just his reinforcements......"
Lu Bu laughed and said, "It will take some time from Yuzhong to Yinmi!" As long as General Fan can take Yin Mi before Ma Bin's reinforcements arrive, it will inevitably form a sufficient deterrent to Ma Bin, and by that time. We can take the initiative! In addition, the father-in-law is also mobilizing the people around Chang'an, and it is said that General Zhang Yang's 10,000 male soldiers will also arrive soon! So you can rest assured. Even if his reinforcements arrive, there will be people on our side to support you! ”
When Fan Chou heard him say this, Fang Cai nodded quite reassuringly.
After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou left, Lu Bu summoned Zang Ba, Hao Meng, and Wei Xu.
The eight warriors under his command will die to death. The surrender of the fall, now counted, there are only these three people, this time, Lu Bu brought them all out, also to show his determination to fight to the death with Ma Bin.
"Which of the three of you is willing to lead troops to guard Luo Valley?"
Lu Bu's straightforward question directly made the three of them look at each other.
Seeing that no one was silent, Zang Ba said loudly: "The last general will go!" It's just at this critical juncture. Why did the general let us go to guard the valley? ”
Lu Bu picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine and said, "If Ma Bin sends people straight out of Luogu and directly under Chang'an City, what can we do!" ”
When Lu Bu said this, the three of them were shocked.
Zang Ba patted his chest and said, "General rest assured, as long as I, Zang Ba, are here, they will not want to take a step out of Luogu!" ”
After Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, Wei continued: "Do you want someone to guard the Meridian Valley?" If you need to, the last general is willing to go! ”
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "At present, Ma Bin's army is mainly concentrated in the Northern Plains, the Meridian Valley is too far away, he should not be reluctant to seek the near and far, and there are also our men and horses near the Meridian Valley, so there is no need to worry about this!" ”
Hearing him say this, Wei Xu and the others were a little relieved.
Lu Bu was silent for a while and then said, "General Zang will not take the initiative to attack after he arrives at Luogu!" General Ben heard that Na Ma Bin had built a big village before Luogu and Meridian Valley, which can be described as a one-man pass, and ten thousand people are not open! All you need to do is set up camp not far away to prevent them from attacking Chang'an from Luogu! ”
After Zang Ba received the order, he immediately went with 5,000 elite soldiers.
As a result, there are only about 10,000 people stationed in Wugong in Lu Bu. Wei Xu said worriedly: "General, if he Ma Bin suddenly leads the army to launch a general attack on Wugong, what can we do?" ”
Lu Bu smiled and said: "Although General Zhang, General Fan and General Zang all went out with men and horses, but now the remaining men and horses under the command of General Ben are not much less than Ma Bin's, rest assured, he will definitely not take the initiative to attack before his reinforcements arrive!" For now, we're just going to let him take care of one or the other, exhaust his army, and then we'll look for an opportunity to break them all! ”
"The general is wise!"
Hao Meng and Wei Xu heard Lu Bu's words, and a smile suddenly appeared on their originally serious faces.
After letting Hao Meng and Wei Xu go down first to rectify the military horses, Lu Bu pondered alone in the tent for a long time.
He summarized the reasons for the failure of the previous battles with Ma Bin. In his opinion, Ma Bin doesn't like to act according to the inherent rules, he always likes to be surprised, and this time he unexpectedly destroyed Xu Rong in one fell swoop, such courage, if it is not from the position of both the enemy and us, Lu Bu is still quite admired.
However, after the lessons learned from the previous times, Lu Bu made up his mind that this time he would not let Ma Bin have any chance to exploit the loopholes no matter what!
In a few days, Chang'an's reinforcements arrived, and Zhang Yang's 10,000 elite soldiers also came non-stop, he estimated that as long as Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's side started fighting, his side could launch a general attack, destroy his Dazhai in the northern plains in one fell swoop, and then wait for the opportunity to advance westward......
