Lü Bu and Tian Feng Xu You took 80,000 of the most elite Luoyang guards and made a detour from Hedong and Shangdang to Jiuyuan City in Wuyuan County, Lü Bu's base camp.

"Oh my God, this is Jiuyuan City? Why has it changed so much? "This is the voice of those soldiers in the army who have been to Jiuyuan City.

"My lord, it seems that the frustrated prince has been holding back his strength during this time. This Nine Plains City alone has expanded at least three times! Xu You said with admiration to the frustrated professor.

"Hehehe, what Ziyuan said is very true. This duke really surprised my old friend, how could I see that he had such a great ability when I got along with him before? From the changes in this Jiuyuan City and one city, you can guess how much the Wuyuan County and Yanmen County will change. Tian Feng blamed himself on his lips, but in his heart he was happy that his old friend could find a place to play his talents.

Lu Bu looked at Jiuyuan City and had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Lu Bu and several of his brothers-in-law: Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Fei led thousands of elite soldiers to aid Jiuyuan, and after the battle of Xianbei generals, they risked their lives to assassinate the Xianbei king Budugen, and finally made a blockbuster let the heroes of the world know that there is a hero named Lu Bu in this world. Now that Lu Bu has returned to Jiuyuan City, Lu Bu is already an official to the general of Anbei, responsible for the military and political affairs of Wuyuan County and Yanmen County, plus the current 80,000 guards Lu Bu has quietly possessed nearly 200,000 elites! This is not counting the county soldiers in the city and county and Lu Bu's foreshadowing-the Montenegrin Army.

Lu Bu asked Leng Yan, the captain of his own army, to take his own talisman to hoard the 80,000 army outside the city, while he and Tian Feng greeted the crowd that came to greet him. In addition to Cai Yong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and others, there were two delicate figures in the crowd.

"Brother Fengxian."

"Brother Lu."

Lu Bu hugged Cai Yan and Zhang Ling'er, the two little ladies who rushed towards him, with his backhand, and listened to their chattering about the pain of lovesickness.

Everyone surrounded Lu Bu and others and returned to the Jiuyuan General's Mansion, and Lu Bu changed into a set of Confucian robes and participated in Cai Yong's banquet for himself. At the banquet, Cai Yan and Zhang Ling'er listened to Lu Bu beside Lu Bu and told Lu Bu about what he encountered after leaving them.

"By the way, big brother, since the emperor asked you to lead the army to defeat Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebels in Youzhou, why didn't you directly lead the army to Jizhou and then send us to Jizhou to join you, but instead took a long detour to Jiuyuan City to join us?" Gao Shun asked with some confusion.

Lu Bu drank the wine in the lamp and said with a smile: "I know that this question is not only confusing to you, but even Yuan Haoziyuan is very confusing to you, right?" Now I'm going to tell you about my plans. ”

"I'm willing to hear from you." Tian Feng was very curious about how Lu Bu himself planned to collect these 80,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court.

Lu Bu sorted out his thoughts: "Well, this starts from the time I saw Emperor Han Ling faint in the court. That time, when the early dynasty heard that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun united with Wuheng Qiu Liju to rebel, Emperor Han Ling fainted on the spot. At that time, I came to visit with many ministers, and it was time to find that Emperor Han Ling had become terminally ill from excessive drinking, and judging from the medical skills I learned from the Taiping Technique, Emperor Han Ling would only live for five or six months at most, even if he forbade alcohol. But how is it possible to get a person who has been addicted to alcohol for decades to abstain from it? Do you know what will happen to Luoyang once Emperor Ling of Han suddenly dies? ”

Tian Feng rushed in front of everyone and said: "According to the following opinion, once Emperor Ling of Han dies, Luoyang will fall into a situation where two princes compete for the throne. Although the eldest prince, Liu Wei, was born to Empress He and had the support of the general He Jin, he was born cowardly and was not loved by Emperor Ling of Han. Although the little prince Liu Xie's biological mother died early, he had the support of the Empress Dowager Dong and the love of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is still impossible to say who of these two princes will ascend to the throne after the death of Emperor Ling of Han. ”

Lu Bu nodded approvingly and said, "Luoyang will not only fall into the battle for the throne, but also fall into the battle between the eunuchs led by Zhang Rang and the Luoyang Guards led by the general He Jin. ”

"How is that possible? Zhang Rang and the other eunuchs were just a group of eunuchs who relied on pleasing Emperor Han Ling to get their full strength, and after the death of Emperor Han Ling, it was easy to kill them with the power of the great general He Jin, how could they fall into the battle that the lord said could affect the situation in Luoyang? Xu You's face was full of disbelief.

"Hehehe, this Emperor Han Ling loves his little prince Liu Xie, everyone already knows. But Liu Xie has no army strength at all, how can he be an opponent of Liu Wei with the support of the great general He Jin in the future? In fact, Emperor Han Ling had already thought of this and came up with his own plan. According to the news sent by Zhang Rang of Luoyang, when we led the army out of Luoyang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had divided the military power of Luoyang and established the Eighth Army of Xiyuan and divided the eight captains of Xiyuan: Captain Jian Shuo of the Upper Military Academy, Yuan Shao of the Middle Military Academy, Bao Hong, Captain of the Lower Military Academy, Cao Ying, Captain of the Dian Military Academy, Zhao Rong, Captain of the Left Colonel, Feng Fang, Captain of the Right Colonel, Xia Mou, Captain of the Left Army, and Chun Yuqiong, Captain of the Right Colonel. Among the eight captains, the military captain Jian Shuo has great power, and now Luoyang even the general He Jin has to obey Jian Shuo's command. Jian Shuo, the captain of the military colonel, has replaced the general He Jin to become the supreme commander of the Luoyang Army. Lu Bu said this shocking news lightly.

"What? Such a big thing happened in Luoyang? Everyone was amazed for a moment.

"The emperor is really calculating, he divided this Luoyang military power into eight, not to mention, but also made the eunuch Jian Shuo become the highest military power controller in the Luoyang army, so that the current eunuch party strength has surpassed the general He Jin! I finally understood why the main guild said that after the death of the emperor in the future, the general He Jin would have a fight with Zhang Rang's eunuchs. But my lord, even if Zhang Rang's eunuchs and the general He Jin fight to the death, what can I do? As long as Zhang Rang's eunuchs win or the military of the general He Jin wins, they will still be able to control the government. As long as they send an edict, we still have to send these 80,000 elite soldiers back to Luoyang obediently. Xu You was still a little puzzled.

"What if there is no winner in this fight? What if He Jin and Zhang let them both lose? What if there was a strong force occupying Luoyang at this time? If so, do we still need to send these 80,000 elite soldiers to Luoyang? A smile crossed the corner of Lu Bu's mouth.

When Gao Shun, Zhang Fei and the others were still confused, Xu You and Tian Feng glanced at each other and shouted in unison: "Xiliang Dong Zhuo? ”

"Hahahaha, the two gentlemen can really guess. Yes, the person who can occupy Luoyang at that time is Dong Zhuo! And as Dong Zhuo's allies, we have the strength and territory, and we don't need to hand over the 80,000 troops to Dong Zhuo again. I believe that Dong Zhuo, who has become the target of public criticism by then, will never fall out with our only ally for the sake of these 80,000 soldiers who can't get it. Lu Bu said confidently.

"Hahaha, the eldest brother is really resourceful. It was easy for us to harvest 80,000 elite troops, with this 80,000 army carefully selected by the eldest brother, my Tiefutu, the second brother's trapped camp, the third brother and Zilong's Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and General Hansheng's shooting battalion must be able to absorb a large number of members, right? Zhang Fei was most concerned about Lu Bu's promise to expand the Tiefutu for him, and he didn't care about anything else.

Lu Bu shook his head helplessly: "When did I break my promise to you?" The reason why I haven't helped you supplement and expand the Iron Float is because I am thinking about how to improve your Iron Float, haven't you discovered some of your Achilles' heels after several wars? ”

Of course, Zhang Fei knew what weaknesses his most beloved troops were: "Big brother, Tiefutu has a lot of weaknesses now, but what needs to be improved the most is its staying power in every battle, and the loss when it collides with the enemy is too great. However, I thought about it for a long time, and I only came up with the method of replacing the Xiliang war horses captured in Xiliang with the whole battalion of Tiefutu to solve the problem of the staying power of the battle, and extended the previous combat time by half an hour, but there was no way to prevent the sergeant from being knocked to the ground and trampled to death during the collision. ”

"Hehehe, don't worry. Recently, under the guidance of a blacksmith surnamed Yan Mingzhou, I invented a tactic that could help Tiefutu reduce losses in the event of a collision. Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Big brother, is there anything you can do to solve it?" Zhang Fei was overjoyed.

Lu Bu asked Cai Yan and Zhang Ling'er to hammer their own sore backs, and said unhurriedly: "My method of battle is to use a special iron chain to connect fifty Iron Floating Knights into a horizontal row. Can you imagine how powerful it would be when these fifty Iron Floaters charged together? And because they are connected, when they encounter the enemy, they will bear the impact of the enemy together, and even if a few people are hit too hard, they will not be easily knocked over. When encountering narrow intersections, these Iron Float Knights can also release the chains from an elaborate loop, thus forming a small chain of more than ten or even several horses. In addition to the hassle of chaining and overhauling after each battle, this is a flexible tactic that is perfect for your Iron Rider. ”

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what is the name of this tactic?" ”

"Serial horses!"
