Chapter 39 Tiger Lu Bu
At this moment, the shouts were everywhere, Zhang Liao on the left on the slopes on both sides, and Gao Shun on the right each led two thousand people to kill, and the rockets roared towards Ji Ling's army, and the trees and weeds next to them burned when they caught fire, and there was a sea of fire in an instant, and at the same time, a large number of rolling stones rolled down on the hillside, and many people were smashed into their brains in the wailing of Ji Ling's army.
At this time, Lu Bu led people back to kill again, and at the same time, Zhou Cang led all his more than 2,000 people to enter from the rear of Ji Ling's army formation, cutting Ji Ling's army into several small pieces.
It turned out that after Zhou Cang and Lu Bu discussed to jointly resist Ji Ling's army, Chen Gong offered a plan, let Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Cang ambush in the area of Yunlong Mountain in advance, and then Lu Bu deceived and lured the enemy to go deeper, and after Ji Ling chased Lu Bu and the soldiers arrived at Yunlong Mountain tiredly, the three people waited for work and would definitely be able to defeat Ji Ling's army in one fell swoop.
However, the world is unpredictable, Lu Bu saw that Ji Ling was quite brave, and he wanted to fight dozens of rounds and then defeat him, but he didn't have time to cheat and defeat, Ji Ling couldn't help it first, deceived Lu Bu, and the whole army was dispatched, wanting to bully more and less, so he saved Lu Bu from cheating.
Although there were some episodes in the process, the whole process of the battle was still in the hands of Chen Gong, and now Ji Ling was caught off guard, the soldiers who had been tired of chasing Lu Bu suddenly met with a big change, and their morale fell sharply in the fire, trampling on each other, and they did not form a formation, Lu Bu's subordinates Gao Shun and Zhang Liao killed them from the hillside like a tiger descending the mountain after letting go of the rocket rolling stones.
In an instant, Ji Ling's army was rushed to pieces, and mourning was everywhere.
However, Ji Ling is not a mediocre talent, he commanded and dispatched in the center, gradually stabilized the situation, quickly retreated back with smoke and fire, Zhou Cang and Lu Bu joined forces to chase and kill for a while, and the sergeants fought for half a day, and they were already tired, so they had to collect their troops in Yunlong Mountain.
Ji Ling returned to Lingbi to count the men and horses, and the army lost more than 20,000 people in this battle, and now the 50,000 army on the expedition is less than 20,000. Now that Lu Bu has blocked the way, it only takes a few days, and after Liu Bei's army returns to Xuzhou, it will be difficult to obtain Xuzhou with 20,000 horses.
Ji Ling had no choice but to strengthen the Lingbi city wall and defend the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to Pegasus to ask Yuan Shu for his guilt.
Lu Bu's 8,000 men and horses also lost more than 3,000, and the rest of the men and horses were also injured, but fortunately, they were all slightly injured. And Zhou Cang lost less than a thousand people, and now there are only more than 500 Feilongwei and more than 100 light cavalry and 200 Lingbi County soldiers, a total of more than 800 people. However, he finally restrained Ji Ling's offensive, and it was considered to have completed Gao Ping's entrustment.
Three days later, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others finally led the army back to Xuzhou, and on the way back, Liu Bei had already learned the news of Yuan Shu's troops.
After returning to Xuzhou, the battle reports from the front came back from time to time, and when Liu Bei learned that Zhou Cang used Gao Ping's strategy to drag Ji Ling's army with a thousand men and horses, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised Gao Ping again and again for being like a god, and learned that Lu Bu came to help, and he was even more eager to lead troops to meet Lu Bu.
Xuzhou, the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and the Wenwu of Xuzhou are discussing the attack on Ji Ling.
Liu Bei sat in the center, and his left hand was Gao Ping, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Chen Qun and other civil officials, and his right hand was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Fang, He Man, Xu Sheng and other military generals.
This expedition completely put down the rebellion of the Tao brothers, and now looking at the more and more martial arts under the account, Liu Bei was very relieved, thinking that he only had three brothers and thousands of men and horses to fight in the south and north for several years, but he never had a foothold, and his men were always only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong. Now that I have come to Xuzhou, I have my own team in a short period of time, all thanks to Gao Ping's advice.
Liu Bei unconsciously looked at Gao Ping, and at this time, Gao Ping's eyebrows were furrowed, and he lowered his head in contemplation, as if he was quite preoccupied.
"This time to quell the rebellion, Ziqing Yuanlong used a plan to make us return with a big victory, why is Ziqing depressed?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously. Gao Ping didn't seem to hear it, but he still bowed his head and was silent.
"Ziqing, Ziqing" Liu Bei shouted twice in a row, and Mi Zhu, who was under Gao Ping, coughed heavily, and Gao Ping reacted.
"Ahh Oh, oh" Gao Ping was called by Liu Bei coldly, and reacted from his thoughts and hurriedly said: "I am tired of the lord's thoughts, and I am thinking about it."
"Look at Ziqing's frowns, what is so serious, let's find a way to solve it together, is it because of Yuan Shu's invasion of Xuzhou?" Liu Bei said softly.
All the civil and military officials in the hall were also interested in Gao Ping, and they all looked at Gao Ping, wanting to know what Gao Ping was thinking so intrigued
Gao Ping cleared his throat and said: "Back to the lord, Ping already said the day before yesterday that Yuan Shu is a mediocre person, even if he is given a million troops, it will be difficult to become a big weapon, and the one who is worried about Ping is Lu Buye."
"Feng attacked Yanzhou in the past to solve the danger of Xuzhou, and today he led the crowd to defeat the general Ji Ling of Yuanshu, and he was kind to Xuzhou twice, and now he is sending a letter to belong to me, why is Ziqing worried?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
Gao Ping waved his hand and said: "The lord only knows one and doesn't know the other, Lu Bu - the tiger, although the army is defeated by Cao Cao now, but its minions are still there, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others under his command are known as the 'Eight Warriors', especially Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both good generals in command of the army, and their own martial arts are extraordinary, and there are wise men like Chen Gong to plan for them, at this time Lu Bu is like a wounded tiger, although the surface is gentle and harmless, but when it is injured, it must hurt people, and the day before yesterday, with 8,000 remnants of the defeated general Ji Ling 30,000 troops, Although it depends on Chen Gong's resourcefulness and Zhou Cang's cooperation, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command can be seen, and it must not be underestimated. And in terms of official position, the lord is just Xuzhou Mu, but Lu Bu is the general of Fenwu and the title of Wen Hou, so is Lu Bu obeying the lord or the lord obeying Lu Bu? ”
Hearing Gao Ping's words, Liu Bei groaned slightly and said: "However, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, after all, he made a great contribution to Sheji, and helped me twice.
At this time, Chen Deng got up and said: "The lord must not take in Lu Bu, Lu Bu is a wolf, although he is brave and champions the three armies, but his moral character is extremely poor, Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo are his old masters, but they were all killed by him, if the lord takes in Lu Bu, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are a lesson from the past."
"Big brother, these three family slaves are the most unrighteous, why don't you let me bring a team of soldiers and horses to kill him, so as not to cause trouble in the future," Zhang Fei shouted while pulling his neck.
"What the third brother said is exactly what I want, Lu Bu must not stay," Guan Yu also said angrily.
Everyone spoke out to persuade Liu Bei to kill Lu Bu, but only Chen Qun was silent, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gao Ping glanced at Chen Qun's thoughtful appearance, and was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly whispered to Liu Bei: "Elder Brother Wen has not said a word so far, and it seems that he has a different opinion on his appearance, why don't you ask." ”
Liu Bei was reminded by Gao Ping and also discovered Chen Qun's abnormality, waved his hand to stop everyone's uproar, and asked Chen Qun: "Does Wen Chang have a high opinion?" ”
Seeing Liu Bei's question, Chen Qun hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, the group has a question that I want to ask everyone here for advice." ”
Gao Ping's unintentional move unexpectedly led to Chen Qun's earth-shattering words.
