154 And the Lord shall ride out in three ways.

"Don't mention anything else for the time being, do you have any objections to Lu Zijing's strategy to break the enemy?" Lu Bu saw that Tian Feng did not continue to object, so he continued to return the topic to the important matter of breaking the enemy in front of him.

Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Lord Lu's strategy is very good, I agree." ”

Most of the surrounding Chen Qun, Xun Yu and others were new to Lu Bu's command, and Lu Su's strategy was also exquisite, and when they saw Jia Xu taking the lead in agreeing, they naturally nodded in agreement.

Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction: "Since everyone agrees with Lu Zijing's plan, then I will start to act according to the plan." The first thing is to establish the cavalry commander who is responsible for involving Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and Cao Ying in the east.

On the first way, I intend to send Xu Ziyuan to Bingzhou, Ziyuan has lived in Jizhou for several months, and Hansheng has also been to Jizhou with me. Ziyuan helped me bring a letter to Huang Hansheng, asking him to lead 20,000 cavalry out of Huguan and attack all the key points in Hebei, and Ziyuan was a strategist with the army. With Ziyuan's intelligence, presumably those judges and Guo Tu and the like in Hebei are by no means Ziyuan's opponents! ”

During this time, Xu You felt that Lu Bu did not have the same heavy responsibility for himself as before since he got Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others. Now that he saw that Lu Bu was the first to point to himself, and at the same time handed over the position of the mastermind of the North Route Army against Yuan Shao in Hebei to himself, he was ecstatic for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord is far away, and Yuan Shao will be anxious!" ”

Lu Bu nodded with a smile, and continued: "On the second way, I want to send Zilong and Wen He to lead 20,000 cavalry out of the Tiger Prison Pass and kill the border of Yanzhou. Although Cao Ying has Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia as the masterminds, with Wenhe's ability, he will definitely be able to make Zilong retreat. ”

Jia Xu and Zhao Yun stepped forward and promised: "The lord has a fate, dare to disobey?" ”

Lu Bu took out the third army token and said: "On the third road, I intend to let Wenyuan and Gongtai lead 20,000 cavalry from Luoyang to send troops from Wuguan and kill the boundary of Wancheng." Although there are no well-known strategists under Yuan Shu's account, you can't just destroy it at will like the other two roads.

In addition to burning down some military camps along the way, you must take advantage of Yuan Shu's unpreparedness to kill some more Yuan Shu soldiers. We must let Yuan Shu know that our army has been fighting with Dong Zhuo for a while, but his vitality is not injured and he still has a lot of strength. In this way, the foundation can be laid for me to sign an alliance with him in the next step, otherwise I am afraid that some money and things alone will not only not allow Yuan Shu to calm his greed, but may also make him think that the strength of our army is greatly injured and it is just to survive, but it will arouse his ambition to take Luoyang regardless of losses. ”

Zhang Liao stepped forward to take the military order from Lu Bu's hand, and said with Chen Gong: "It is certain that Yuan Shu'er will not dare to face me and the state army if he loses his troops!" ”

After Lu Bu assigned the chief generals and accompanying military advisors of Yuan Shu in Hebei, Cao Ying in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu in Huainan to attack the three-way strategy, Lu Bu said to Tian Feng: "In addition to the army of the three routes, I will personally lead Bo Grade, Yide, and Dian Wei to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Hangu Pass. The government affairs of Luoyang will be handed over to Commander Yuan Hao, and everything can be decided by you, no matter how big or small. As for Luoyang's defense force, I will hand it over to Xu Gongming to take over, Xu Gongming's surname is cautious and proficient in the art of war, and the safety of Luoyang City is handed over to you and I can also rest assured that we can go on the expedition. ”

Tian Feng and Xu Huang stepped forward and said respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord, Luoyang City is in our hands, worry-free!" ”

"That's fine. Without further ado, Wen Yuan, you will go and lead the army now, and I will also prepare to quietly set off from the north gate in the evening, and take the Beibi Mountain Trail to Hangu Pass. This battle is related to the strength of our army in the next few years, and Wanger and others will do their best not to live up to our expectations. Lu Bu stood up and shouted.

"No!"

Dividing line

It was night, and the clouds were thick.

After Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others led their troops to leave Luoyang from the east and south gates, Lu Bu took Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Dian Wei and more than 50,000 elite soldiers from the north gate to the north of the mountain. After learning the news, the meticulous work of the forces of all parties rushed to various places after the opening of Luoyang City in the second day. What they knew was nothing more than that: after Lu Bu received the crusade document issued by Yuan Shao, his troops divided into three directions to Hebei, Yanzhou, and Wancheng, which participated in the battle. And the fact that Lu Buna, after going out of the city and arriving at Beibi Mountain, secretly went to Hangu Pass from the side road day and night was not something they could know.

Lu Bu deliberately selected some mountain trails that were inaccessible and had rugged roads to march, so Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and others could only dismount and walk.

However, after several days of arduous marching, one night later, Lu Bu patted the scout troops at the front of the line, and finally reported the news of their arrival at the border of Hangu Pass to Lu Bu.

"Hahaha, it's finally here! Grandma's, I haven't walked such a long mountain road after living for so many years, but my feet are tired! Zhang Fei collapsed on a boulder, recalling that in the past few days, he had climbed mountains and waded along the trail near Beibi Mountain, which made Zhang Fei, who had never tasted the fun of 'off-road', miserable.

"Huh, although this trail is a little difficult to walk, but these are sparsely populated places, and it is not easy for the defenders of Hangu Pass to get the news in advance. According to the scout's report, the defenders of Guanshang were not under martial law, and the Xiliang army under Guanxia was still collecting toll taxes from merchants and civilians passing through Hangu Pass, obviously not getting the news of our army's attack, which also gave us the opportunity to avoid attacking Hangu Pass! Lu Bu stomped on his somewhat sore thigh, and said to the soldiers around him with a smile.

"Hey, since this is the case, the eldest brother will take a break here, let me take thousands of people and horses directly into the pass, and take the Hangu Pass down to the eldest brother!" Zhang Fei heard Lu Bu say that the defenders on Hangu Pass were defenseless, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he lifted the Zhangba snake spear and was ready to turn over and kill Ben Hangu Pass.

"Yi Dexiu wants to come here! If you really lead the army to kill like this, even if the sergeant on the gate is no longer vigilant, he will not wait for you to kill in the gate and close the gate! Sit down for me! Lu Bu didn't expect that although Zhang Fei had changed some bad problems such as whipping soldiers, his overly impatient surname was difficult to remove, if he hadn't stopped him just now, I was afraid that Zhang Fei's surname would really be able to do what he said!

"What's wrong?" Zhang Fei looked at Lu Bu who suddenly looked angry with a little blankness.
