"Assemble the heralds, each with five days' worth of dry rations, and then go with me! Face Lu Bu! ”

Li Xianzhong had a plan to deal with Lu Bu's army, and immediately gathered 10,000 troops and prepared to go on the expedition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ding Guan, who stayed behind, got the news and immediately came to see Li Xianzhong.

"Xianzhong, I heard that Lu Bu led 30,000 troops and was about to attack the party, is this true?" Ding Guan got straight to the point and asked eagerly.

"Lord Shi's Jinyiwei has heard the news, a few days ago, the 30,000 troops under Lu Bu are ready to go, and Lu Bu will lead the army to attack in three days at most, but it took a day for Jinyiwei to hurry, that is to say, two days later, Lu Bu's 30,000 troops can enter the border of Bingzhou." Li Xianzhong said in a deep voice.

"Two days at most?" Ding Guan was shocked when he heard this, "In two days, reinforcements from all over the country can't catch up at all!" How this should be for the better! ”

"Also, General Li did not hurry up to gather a large army and enter the city to set up defenses, but instead gathered a large army to prepare for the expedition, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?"

"Doesn't Lord Ding hear the truth that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose? Lu Bu's army of 30,000 people, a certain family is the eldest son city, but what about the two months of hard work of His Majesty in various places? So I'm going to take the initiative and face Lu Bu! Li Xianzhong said loudly.

"Take the initiative? How did General Li defeat the elite and state army of 30,000 Lu Bu with an army of 10,000? Moreover, Lu Bu is extremely brave, and General Li may be difficult to resist alone! In my opinion, it is better to stick to the eldest son and wait for His Majesty's help! Ding Guan worried.

"Lu Bu came this time, it is clear that he wants to destroy the party, if Tuntian is lost, His Majesty will be self-defeating, and then the princes' coalition will also be self-defeating! No matter at most, a certain family wants to protect the party and prevent Lu Bu from stepping into the land of the party! In this way, we can live up to the emperor's grace! Li Xianzhong arched his hand in the direction of Taiyuan.

"Since General Li has decided to go on the expedition, I don't know if I can tell the general what he thinks, so that the old man can rest assured!" Ding Guan said helplessly.

"Lu Bu led an army of 30,000, and we only have 10,000 infantry troops, so we can't compete with it, but there is a time when it is the best chance to defeat him! That's when he crossed the river! Li Xianzhong had no choice but to say what he thought.

"Is the general planning to attack him halfway?" Ding Guan's eyes lit up.

"That's right, if you attack it halfway, Lu Bu's army can't echo it at the end, as long as it is shocked in one fell swoop and affects its military morale, it will definitely be defeated!"

"Good! His Majesty handed over the military power of the party to the general, and the general really had something outstanding! I'll just wait and see, waiting for the news of the general's victory! Ding Guan praised his palm.

"The best defense is to attack, I take the initiative to be the main force, Lu Bu will definitely not expect it, and he will be able to surprise him. The key to this battle is the speed of travel, Lord Ding, I will lead the army to pull first! Li Xianzhong turned over and got on his horse and bowed to Ding Guan.

"General, be careful, I'm here waiting for your good news of triumph!" Ding Guan couldn't stop Li Xianzhong from fighting, so he had to pray that Li Xianzhong could win and triumph.

"Let's go, the whole army is on the march!" Li Xianzhong took the lead, raised his spear, and led 10,000 foot soldiers south to meet the enemy.

Li Xianzhong was also a little anxious, generally speaking, it would take at least two days to rush from Shangdang to the Yellow River crossing to ambush at the speed of this 10,000-strong army. Luoyang is far from the crossing of the Yellow River, but it can be reached in half a day. What's more, Lu Bu's army can go out in two days, it is only Jinyiwei's prediction, maybe Lu Bu's army will be prepared in advance, and it may not be possible to go out in advance.

At this time of June, the weather is all hot, but it is also a little muggy. The 10,000-strong army marched for half a day, and they were already sweating, and some even sat on the ground to rest.

Li Xianzhong sat on horseback, patrolled the army on horseback, and said with morale: "Soldiers, we are fighting against Lu Bu at this station!" We must rush to the crossing of the Yellow River one step ahead and prepare for an ambush, so that we can win a great victory. If it is too late, our homeland, the Tuntian that has worked hard for two months, will also be destroyed! By the second half of the year, we will have no food to eat! I know that the soldiers are tired, but I implore you to keep going, and we will be victorious when we reach the Yellow River one step earlier! ”

Hearing this, a Han soldier suddenly got up from the ground and said, "Let's go, keep on our way, we can't let what Your Majesty gave us be destroyed by Lu Bujun!" ”

"Let's go, Your Majesty has exempted us from collecting taxes, and if we are beaten in by Lu Bu's army, we will have to return to our previous lives!"

"Now we are tired a little and nothing! If we lose this battle, we will be a thousand times more tired than we are now, and we will even starve to death! ”

"I don't know anything else, I only know that everything I have is given by Your Majesty, if you lose this battle, Your Majesty will definitely lose a lot, I am willing to fight for Your Majesty!"

"Rise up and fight for Your Majesty!"

Li Xianzhong's encouragement was really useful, and perhaps Liu Wei played a role in the good of the soldiers! A group of Han soldiers got up from the ground one after another, saying that they would continue on their way.

"Okay, soldiers, let's continue our journey!" Li Xianzhong's face was full of joy.

Although the journey was extremely difficult, the officers and men of the Han army did not rest, and they were all in low spirits. But all the soldiers held their breath and marched until evening, and actually rushed more than half of the way.

"Soldiers, eat dry food, rest on the spot, and continue to hurry early tomorrow morning!" Li Xianzhong and the Han army, who had been on the road for a day, ate dry food and did not set up a camp, so they directly chose a place to rest on the spot. The armor was not taken off, the clothes were stuck to the body because of sweat stains, and the soldiers did not complain.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Xianzhong ordered the soldiers to finish their dry rations and march immediately. Finally, at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River.

Li Xianzhong was in a hidden place, looking at the Yellow River crossing, which was empty at this time. Li Xianzhong showed a sneer: "Dong Zhuo? Lu Bu? Do you want to invade the party? I made it impossible for you to even enter the land of the annexed state. You wouldn't have thought that I would take the initiative to rush to your door to ambush you! ”

This Yellow River crossing is not in the territory of Bingzhou, but in the east of the river where Luoyang is located. From Luoyang to the Yellow River crossing, a maximum of half a day's work.

"I really have to admire Your Majesty's foresight, if it weren't for Your Majesty's establishment of the Jinyi Guard, I'm afraid that I would be able to react when Lu Bubing came to the party city!" Li Xianzhong sighed, and couldn't help but admire Liu Wei a little in his heart.

"Pass the order, all the soldiers are hidden, have a good rest, and if there is a change, behead! Wait for the order of Ben to be given, you can attack! Not far from the crossing of the Yellow River, Li Xianzhong found a relatively hidden place and ordered to the 10,000 Han troops.

Fortunately, the Han army was already physically and mentally exhausted because of the continuous rush, and they just wanted to find a place to sleep, and there was still something to move. Li Xianzhong ordered, and all the soldiers immediately lay down on the spot to rest.

Li Xianzhong was also considerate of the soldiers, seeing that all the soldiers were lying on the ground resting, but he observed the crossing of the Yellow River by himself, if he missed Lu Bu's army and lost the best time to attack, it would be worth the loss.

It was past noon and the sun was gradually turning westward, and it was about 3:10 p.m. At this time, the weather gradually cooled down, and a group of Han troops also recovered, lying in the dense forest, watching the Yellow River crossing in the distance.

"General, it will be almost dark in two hours, it seems that today, Lu Bu's army will not come!" Beside Li Xianzhong, the commander of a thousand said in a low voice.

"Don't be careless, isn't there still an hour or two of genius black? What if you come and come? Li Xianzhong said in a deep voice.

As soon as Li Xianzhong's words fell, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Look, what is that on the river?" ”

When Li Xianzhong heard the prestige, he saw rows of small black dots gradually emerging on the surface of the river.

"Haha, Lu Bujun is really here, if the general hadn't urged me to hurry, I'm afraid I would have missed it!" The commander said excitedly.

"Silence! Order all the soldiers to prepare, and when I give the order, you can attack! Li Xianzhong shouted in a low voice.

Looking at Lu Bujun, who was getting closer and closer above the Yellow River, Li Xianzhong's hand holding the spear trembled slightly, it was not nervous, but excited.

"Lu Bu, if you dare to offend me and merge with the state, you will be made to pay the price this time!"
