"Lord!"

The left and right were pushing Fan Chou down and cutting him, but he was stopped by a sound, and everyone looked at it, but it was Zhu Jun who stopped him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Fan Chou lost grain and grass, the crime is unforgivable, and he should be beheaded according to military law! But he knew that it was a capital crime, but he still came to see the lord, which shows that he knows his sin well! The lord is the commander of the three armies, and he is an important minister of the court, so he can't kill his subordinates at will? It should be a canonical punishment, or it can be justified! ”

Fan Chou lowered his head and was silent.

Zhu Jun glanced at Fan Chou, and said: "However, now that our army has suffered heavy losses, we must no longer lose the general." Although General Fan has done it, he can order him to make a mistake, and if he does it again, he will be punished for both crimes! ”

Fan Chou didn't seem to hear clearly, and raised his head to look at Zhu Jun in a daze, and then looked at Lu Bu.

"General Fan, don't you have anything to say?"

Fan Chou choked up and said: "It's all the last general who believes that Dong Cheng's words, so that he can take advantage of it!" Then he told the story of Dong Cheng's persuasion of himself and the rebellion of his cronies.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Fan Chou, do you think in your heart that Ben will take over your military power because he is suspicious of you? Is it because you are from Xiliang? ”

Fan Chou lowered his head and was silent.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Hmph, I have never been to you because of your family lineage, never because you are from the state or the two states, and never because you are from the noble and the low. Ben has already said that as long as you are loyal to me, loyal to the great man, whoever kills the most enemies will get the most credit and wealth! ”

"The last will be convicted!" Fan Chou cried out in shame: "The last general is willing to be punished!" ”

"Since you are willing to be punished, you will be allowed to make meritorious deeds! If you fail again, then you will blame the general! ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Fan Chou knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and thanked him again and again.

Lu Bu no longer paid attention to Fan Chou, but asked in detail about the grain and grass.

A large amount of grain and grass was burned, and only a day's ration remained. Zhang Liao also introduced the brave young generals of the Western Battalion to Lu Bu. This person is Chen Wu, the word is Lie, a native of Lujiang County, only twenty years old, because he saw the Yellow Turban thieves ravaging his hometown in his early years, he resolutely came to Luoyang, intending to enlist in the army to serve the imperial court.

Later, when Dong Zhuo was killed, and seeing that Lu Bu was a hero again, he admired him and still joined Lu Bu's account.

When Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao say that although Chen Wu was young, he was extremely brave, stabbed Guo Yan and repelled Li Dao, and he was very happy in his heart, and gave him a brocade robe and warm words of encouragement.

Chen Wu was overjoyed, thanked and retreated. Although he got Chen Wu's young generals and killed Niu Fu again, he couldn't make Lu Bu happy. Three pavilions injured one pavilion, this battle, the first battle was unfavorable, and now the grain and grass have been burned again, so that Lu Bu's face is full of haze.

Lu Bu wanted to hear Zhu Jun's thoughts, Zhu Jun said: "The wise are not confused, the benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid. ”

"Ben Jiang is really unwilling!"

Lu Bu said hatefully, "What a Jia Xu, if this person can't be used by me, he will definitely get rid of him!" ”

Zhu Jun sighed: "This person has deep wisdom and scheming, and he should be a powerful character!" ”

"In the coming day, Ben will definitely capture this person!" Lu Bu then said: "Our army retreats to Huayin County, and the enemy army must pursue at the tail end, so we have to guard against it!" ”

"That's what the lord said!"

Now that the decision has been made, Lu Bu no longer hesitated, and ordered to go down, so that the army was ready to retreat slowly towards Huayin.

Let's say that Niu Fu was killed, and the defeated army fled to Tongguan, and everyone was depressed. Only Jia Xu was calm and calm, his expression was not sad but happy, Li Wei on the side was furious, pointed at Jia Xu and said: "It's all this person, if it weren't for this person, how could General Niu die, this person must be a spy sent by Lu Bu!" Come on, drag this person down and cut him down! ”

"Slow!"

"Hmph, Jia Xu, all this is your idea, and now our army is losing troops, what are you not a spy!"

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "Everyone, if I were a spy, our army's casualties would not be the only one, Lu Bu's army would not have suffered so heavy losses, and the other party's grain and grass would not be burned!" Can't you see that? ”

"yes!" Guo Yan dragged the sick body and said weakly, he also thought that if Jia Xu was a spy, it would be impossible to burn Lu Bu's grain and grass.

Uncle Zhang Ji's nephew and Duan Xuan also agreed.

Seeing that everyone was pleading for Jia Xu, Li Wei had no choice but to say: "Now that General Niu is dead, we should uphold the general's will, attack Chang'an, kill Lu Bu, and avenge the captain and the general, what do you think?" ”

There was no objection from the crowd. Seeing that everyone did not object, Li Wei was secretly happy in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I and you are brothers, and in the future, we will share all blessings and hardships!" ”

The crowd praised the good. Then Li Wei asked again: "Right now, how should I act?" But can you speak freely? When it was over, he glanced at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "Lu Bu's grain and grass were burned, and the three pavilions of soldiers and horses went to one of them, and the morale fell and the strength was damaged. It was expected that Lu Bu would slowly withdraw his troops to Huayin County, and then send people to transport grain and grass from Chang'an. Why don't our troops pursue at the tail end, and then do this and this... ”

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this, and at this moment they all admired Jia Xu's strategy.

…………

Lu Bu stood in the camp, his eyes turned into the distance, he was stunned, and his thoughts were wandering. After this defeat, Lu Bu couldn't help but think, could it be that he fled to Guanzhong and drifted to the Central Plains just like he experienced in a dream? The final outcome is that the army was defeated and died in the White Gate Tower?

The soldiers killed in the battle in the battalion, whether they were enemy soldiers or their own, had already been cleaned up, and only the smell of blood in the air was still on the tip of the nose. For everyone on the battlefield, all this is nothing more than commonplace.

The rest was sporadic flames, emitting repeated green smoke, and everyone in the camp was busy, packing up their baggage, wiping their weapons, and all of them were preparing.

When the sun was just overhead, the sergeants also had a full meal, and the army was ready to go to Huayin County.

This goes to Huayin County for hundreds of miles, and if the cavalry can reach it in one day. But now the army has to travel for at least three days.

Lü Bu took Xu Huang and Chen Wu as the front army, Zhu Jun of the Chinese army, and Lü Bu led the cavalry to personally cut off the rear.

After only a few miles, Hou Cheng reported from later and found that the enemy army was chasing after him.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Hmph, really underestimate the general, and order the army to line up to meet the enemy!" ”

"No!"

Hou Cheng replied excitedly, just about to give an order, when he was suddenly stopped by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at the dense forest roads on the left and right, and suddenly thought about it.

"Pass the order, if the enemy pursues it, the army will advance quickly!"

"Lord!" Hou Cheng shouted: "The enemy army bullied our army so much, thinking that our army was really afraid of them. The last general asked for battle, led an army, and went to destroy the enemy! ”

"Shut up, do as Ben will order!"

Lu Bu glared coldly, so frightened that Hou Cheng cringed and didn't dare to speak again, so he had to go and give Lu Bu's order. Lu Bu summoned a personal guard and asked him to tell Zhu Jun. Then lead the cavalry around the central army and go straight to the front of the army.

Zhang Liao was puzzled on the side and asked: "Lord, our army marched in such a hurry, and the enemy army pursued after him, if he caught up, wouldn't our army expose its back to the enemy's iron hooves?" ”

Lu Bu pointed to the long and dense jungle in front of him and said, "This is the time to use your strategy. Ben will now lead the cavalry around this dense forest, and when the enemy army engages, Ben will kill from the side, and he will definitely kill the enemy by surprise, and also revenge for the previous arrow. ”

Zhang Liao had all his thoughts, but he still had doubts in his heart. Seeing that Lu Bu didn't say anything more, he had to suppress his curiosity.

Let's say that after Zhu Jun got Lu Bu's instructions, he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect the lord to come up with such a plan!" Then he said to the left and right: "Pass the order, let the front part be the rear, and the rear part be the front, if the enemy pursues him, abandon the grain and grass baggage, and do not fight with the enemy!" ”

Left and right had to be ordered to go, and soon the army of long dragons meandered like a long dragon, quickly changing formations. Originally, in order to prevent the enemy from pursuing, the grain and grass baggage was in front and the army was behind, but Zhu Jun now went the opposite way and walked behind the army with the grain and grass baggage.

Although Xu Huang and Chen Wu were puzzled, they still executed Zhu Jun according to the order.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of hooves behind him, and smoke and dust billowed out. A large force of cavalry was galloping towards us. The faces of the soldiers escorting the grain and grass changed drastically. When Xu Huang saw that the enemy army had arrived, he ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, quickly abandon all the grain and grass baggage, and flee forward!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and took the lead in abandoning the army and heading west.

Xu Huang and Chen Wu took the lead in escaping, and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass also resolutely carried out the commander's orders, and abandoned the oxen and horse carts that escorted the grain and grass and the baggage, spread their feet, and ran westward.

Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, who were chasing after him, saw the enemy army fleeing when they heard the news, and they both laughed and said: "Mr. Jia is right, Lu Bu's grain and grass have been burned, and he will slowly retreat to Huayin County. ”

"Kill!"

Seeing that the enemy army in front of him was fleeing frantically, and even the grain and grass were abandoned, Guo Yan excitedly ordered: "Kill!" With that, he rushed forward.

Hearing the enemy's shouts of killing, Lu Bu's army fled in despair, and the formation became scattered, with flags, armor, and swords scattered all over the place.

Guo Yan rode his horse in front of him and chased excitedly, beating the water dog, but the next moment, he looked left and right, stunned, left and right.

Looking back, the soldiers behind him saw armor, grain and grass all over the ground, and even the left war horses, all of them stopped and leaned over to pick up the belongings and armor on the ground.

Zhang Ji was behind, shouting at the army and constantly urging the soldiers. But these Xiliang Qiang soldiers and the captured strong men did not listen to orders at all, and only cared about robbing property.

The army pursued all the way. When they caught up with Lu Bu's army, Lu Bu's army fled frantically. At this time, the Xiliang rebels had already entered the depths of the forest road.

The soldiers behind Zhang Ji and Guo Yan continued to loot and collect property, and the army was scattered.

Zhang Ji and Guo Yan saw that there were dense forests on the left and right, and they were puzzled. Zhang Jidao: "This is a dense forest, and we will be careful to prevent the enemy's plan." ”

Guo Yan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Lu Bu, that coward, the grain and grass have been burned, and the troops have been damaged, how can he be the opponent of our army now, and when he sees our army, he will not flee from the wind!"

"There's nothing wrong with being careful!"

Guo Yan laughed at Zhang Ji for being cowardly and timid, and at this moment, suddenly there was a bang, and in the dense forest on the left and right, one left and one right killed two people.

Xu Huang on the left and Chen Wu on the right. And each man led a detachment of soldiers and horses out of the dense forest.

Zhang Ji and Guo Yan's faces changed greatly, and they shouted: "I've been tricked!" Remove! ”
