Chapter 143: Xiliang Raid (1)
As the day dawned, the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray.
After a night of running, all the generals stationed in various places returned to the camp, and the fence outside the gate was full of flags of the generals.
"Haha, Pepin, you're black again"
When Gao Shun stepped into the big tent, Zhang Liao and the generals immediately hugged him, looked at the dark Gao Shun with a smile, and kept making jokes.
Gao Shun glanced at Zhang Liao coldly, coughed lightly, and immediately pushed aside the crowd and knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Bu, who was sitting behind the handsome case: "Gao Shun greets the lord!" ”
After Gao Shun, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Zhang Xiu did not return to the camp at this time because he was still saying goodbye to Zhang Ji. The tiger's eyes swept towards the three people with a breath of wind and dust, Lu Bu got up and said, "It's good to come back, nothing went wrong on the road."
"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine!"
As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, Luan Ling outside the tent sounded again, and all the generals looked sideways, wanting to see who was coming at this time, as the tent was lifted, Jia Xu's moderately thin body appeared in front of everyone, followed by Cheng Lian and Wei Yue.
"Mr. Jia"
Seeing Jia Xu coming, the generals did not dare to slack off, and saluted one after another, because before Jia Xu arrived, Lu Bu had already told the generals of his identity, and it was only then that they knew that Lu Bu had fought several battles in front of the Tiger Prison Pass were planned by Jia Xu for him, the most obvious of which was the battle with Sun Jian, which almost wiped out the Jiangdong Army.
Jia Xu greeted everyone with a smile, and then pushed aside the crowd and said to Lu Bu, who was sitting behind the handsome case: "Jia Xu greets the lord!" ”
Lu Bu got up leisurely, looked at Jia Xu in front of him with his eyes like a torch, and immediately stepped down from the main seat, strode in front of Jia Xu, and bowed deeply to Jia Xu: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Seeing this, Jia Xu was shocked, and immediately helped Lu Bu up: "How can you be so virtuous in Xia, you can receive such a great gift from the lord!" ”
Lu Bu patted the dust on Jia Xu's body, and said solemnly: "Mr. receives, Mr. So-and-so, just like King Wen gets Jiang Shang, Gaozu meets the ovary, and the big thing can be expected, besides, Mr. has been worshiped as a teacher, and the student salutes the teacher, why not." ”
Jia Xu was very satisfied with Lu Bu's performance, as a strategist, he could be respected by the lord like this, how could he not serve his life with death.
In this way, Lu Bu exchanged pleasantries with Jia Xu for a while, and saw that all the civil and military personnel in the tent had arrived except for Zhang Xiu, and immediately said loudly to the outside of the tent: "Orders, elevation of accounts, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter!" ”
With Lu Bu's order, the generals who were greeting in the tent also stopped talking, and each returned to his place to sit on the ground, waiting for Lu Bu to issue an order.
Glancing at the civil and military forces under the tent, Lu Brown said: "Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, kidnapping the Son of Heaven, and moving west to Luoyang will definitely cause the world to shake, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty will also be gone." At that time, the world will inevitably form a situation in which the heroes are divided and the princes compete for hegemony, and how to gain a foothold in the troubled times and how to make contributions in the turbulent times, it is necessary for everyone here to work together to sweep away all the dust and sweep away all the obstacles."
"I'm Waiting to Die"
As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, he immediately caused the generals in the tent to shout majestically.
"Good!"
Lu Bu got up suddenly, and then waved his big words: "Where are Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, and Zheng Hun?" ”
The four people who were named immediately got up, and quickly walked to the center and bowed to Lu Bu.
"Now, a certain appointed Jia Xu as a military advisor, Cheng Yu and Chen Gong as the left and right military advisors, and Zheng Hun as the marching commander. Here, I would like to remind you that all the generals must obey the orders of the three military commanders, but if there is any disrespect, they will be killed."
For Lu Bu's order, the generals have no meaning, a lion of a hundred battles not only needs a brave general, but also needs a military advisor who can strategize and win thousands of miles away. And Jia Xu and the three of them do meet the standard of military advisors.
Lu Bu glanced at the generals, suddenly grinned, got up and took the pioneer seal ribbon on the table in his hand and weighed it for a while. Immediately caused a burst of foaming "grunt" sound. Lu Bu smiled, he lacked everything under his account, except for generals who could fight well and soldiers who were not afraid of death. Coughing lightly in a low voice, Lu Bu raised the seal ribbon in his hand: "Wenyuan, Xingba"
"Oops"
When Lu Bu called out the names of Zhang Liao and Gan Ning, it immediately caused a regretful lament, on the other hand, the two of them raised their heads high, glanced at their comrades proudly, and then strode to the front of the tent: "The end will be here!" ”
Walked up to the two of them, handed the main and deputy vanguard ribbons in their hands to Zhang Liao and Gan Ning respectively, Lu Bu bowed his head and said: "I will give you 10,000 elites as the vanguard, and you will definitely sweep away all the enemies who hinder me, one will strengthen my ambition, the other will defeat the enemy's prestige, and a certain person will personally lead the army to follow."
The two took the seal ribbon with their hands, and immediately patted their majestic chests and said, "I will live up to my trust!" ”
Zhang Liao's strategy is enough, but Wu Yong is insufficient, although it is stronger than Song Xian and Wei Xu, but Lu Bu is still a little worried, so he assigned Zhang Liao a deputy general, Zhang Liao's strategy plus Gan Ning's bravery, if it is not for the difficult opponent, the two should be able to drag more than 30,000 Ma Jiajun before the main army arrives.
Zhang Liao and Gan Ning took the order, and without waiting for the discussion to be completed, they immediately selected 10,000 elites. Mightily poured out of the Bingzhou camp and went to Chang'an.
"The success or failure of the attack on Xiliang can be said to be the mainstay of whether we can stand firm in the torrent of troubled times, which is also what I have been planning with the military advisor for a long time, I don't need to say more here, when the army has a place in Xiliang, I should inform you."
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai and some veterans of Bingzhou, such as Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and other generals are the main generals in this attack on Xiliang.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the day, Luoyang City is already covered with flags, and Da Yan is moving. Except for the 10,000 pioneers led by Zhang Liao, the remaining 70,000 Bingzhou troops have all been assembled, and they can enter Chang'an and go straight to Xiliang with a wave of Lu Bu's halberd.
"100,000 soldiers and horses, now that 20,000 have been lost, it's time to seize a place to live"
Lu Bu stopped his halberd and rode his horse, and kept going back and forth to inspect the soldiers in front of him, until Ding Yuan brought them to Luoyang, except for a few months of rest in Xingyang, most of the rest of the time was to survive in battle, as the commander of the army, it was time to lay a place for them to live, as for the follow-up battles, wait for them to settle down.
There are many ways to go to Chang'an, you can go to Tongguan, you can also take Wuguan, because Dong Zhuo has ordered the Xiliang army to escort the people to Tongguan, in order to avoid the speed of the army's march being hindered, at Jia Xu's suggestion, Lu Bu's army crossed Hongnong and detoured to Wuguan and went straight to Chang'an.
On a hill, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji stood side by side, and the warm sunlight shrank the figures of the two into a ball. An east wind blew, making the two of them hunt in their robes.
Zhang Xiu looked sideways at Zhang Ji's cheeks, which were becoming more and more wrinkled, and his heart was sour, and he immediately choked up: "Uncle, I don't know when we will see each other today." ”
Zhang Ji smiled, he tried his best not to cry, he was already in his old age, if he wanted to cry like a child, wouldn't it become the laughing stock of the robe, especially Fan Chou.
Although he pretended to be calm, his teary eyes and trembling hands betrayed him.
"Feng Xian is a Ming Lord, you must fight bravely for him to kill the enemy, and then the marquis worships the general, the shadow son is the wife, and the lintel is glorious, and I unfortunately passed away that day, but fortunately, I told your father below, he handed over his son to me to raise, and I did not let him down."
When Zhang Xiu heard this, she couldn't help crying loudly. Zhang Ji slowly hugged him into his arms and sighed deeply: "Let's go, I'm afraid Feng Xian is already in a hurry"
Leaving Zhang Ji's chest, Zhang Xiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then knelt heavily on the ground: "Uncle, the child is gone"
Zhang Ji hurriedly helped him up, and then took out a jade pendant from his arms tremblingly: "This is left by your father, you take it with you as a memory!" ”
Zhang Xiu nodded heavily, and immediately grabbed the jade pendant handed over by Zhang Ji, and glanced at his uncle deeply. He didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but stay after turning back, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety were in a dilemma, between loyalty and filial piety, Zhang Xiu chose the former.
Looking at Zhang Xiu, who was drifting away, Zhang Ji shook his head and sighed, and then turned over and rode his horse and galloped, but looking at his back, he was so lonely and helpless.
