At this point, Wen Chou really convinced Sun Jian. There was a fierce battle yesterday, and when Wen Chou came today, he didn't ask Wen Chou if he wanted to take a break, so he hurriedly invited him to fight Lu Bu again. However, Sun Jian is right.

Lu Bu has not had enough time to rest since he came to Taigu to today, first he fought with Cheng Pu, and then yesterday was a vicious battle, in yesterday's battle, he suffered a lot of losses, and on the other hand, looking at Wen Chou and Sun Jian's side, although Sun Jian also suffered a lot of casualties, but Wen Chou, a new force, is now here, but it suddenly made earth-shaking changes in the strength of both the enemy and us.

Wen Chou groaned slightly, and said: "Although Lu Bu is brave, he is already a tired teacher, and he is not enough to worry, and the people I am worried about are Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, if the two of them lead the army, the momentum of the Dong army will be revitalized, and the momentum of Lu Bu will also be revitalized!" Wentai, you are right, you and I are indeed 'it advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord'! ”

"'It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord'?" Sun Jian chanted this poem twice, and thought it was good, but first, he was a martial artist and was not interested in poetry, and secondly, he just wanted to destroy Lu Bu now, so he only chanted it twice, and then he said to Wen Chou, "So, does Qing agree with my opinion?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Okay, you and I will enter my account and discuss the attack."

There is nothing to discuss too much about the attack, Wen Chou is now here, Wen Chou and Sun Jian have more than 20,000 cavalry on their side, and more than 50,000 troops are combined, and it is more than enough to fight Lu Bu's cavalry, which is now only more than 2,000, and there is no need for any strategy, just crush the past, and it is not a secret at all that if Lu Bu is stationed. It has long been known to Sun Jian.

In Sun Jian's account, Wen Chou and Sun Jian discussed a few words, and then decided: early tomorrow morning, they will send troops to attack Lu Bu's station.

……

Early the next morning, Wen Chou and Sun Jian gathered the cavalry of the two headquarters and selected 3,000 elite cavalry. 10,000 elite soldiers were also selected, and the fierce generals under Wen Chou, such as Wen Ba, Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, etc., were among them, and the three members of the Li family who actively sought to make meritorious contributions to the war were also among them. The two armies went straight to the place where Lü Butun was armed. As of this, Lu Bu has gone.

Sun Jian said regretfully: "When Duqing arrived yesterday, you and I should have sent troops to attack, but we were one night late, but we were escaped by Lu Bu!" ”

Wen Chou smiled: "The siege of Taigu Pass has not been solved, and Lu Bu has not gone far, in my opinion." He's just a little bit away, and he'll be back sooner or later. ”

There are not many plains around Taigu Pass, and there are many valleys near the left of Lu Bu's garrison, and he is walking like this now, but he doesn't know where he went, maybe he is hiding in a certain valley, or maybe he is going north along the official road to find Xu Rong.

There are more than 2,000 horsemen under Lu Bu's hands. Send someone to search and chase him, not to mention that he has been gone for a long time. may not be able to find it at all, but if it can be found, there are fewer people sent, not enough for Lu Bu to eat, and there are too many people sent, and it is a waste of troops. Therefore, for various reasons, since Lu Bu has left, Wen Chou and Sun Jian can only stop for the time being.

The two ordered their soldiers to burn down Lu Bu's camp, and then led their troops back to the camp. Back in the camp, because Sun Jian's camp was in front. Lintaigu Pass is near, so Wen and Sun discussed the war in Sun Jian's camp.

Now the situation in front of Wen Chou and Sun Jian looks good: first, Taigu Pass has been semi-surrounded by them, secondly, the Guanzhong guards came out to fight against the war and suffered a big defeat, and finally, Lu Bu rushed to help, but was beaten away. The situation seems to be good.

But this "nice" is only temporary. According to the military report, Hu Zhen on Yique and Guangcheng's side should have received Dong Zhuo's military order, and figured out that Wen Chou and Sun Jian's main attack direction is actually Taigu, and it is reported that he has begun to transfer troops, and he may even have begun to rush to Taigu now, even if Hu Zhen is not out of the customs now, Yique and Guangcheng are not far from Taigu, and he will be able to arrive in a day or two at most.

Xu Rong is separated from Wen Chou and Sun Jian's camp by a Taigu Pass, and the news is not easy to hear, but since Lu Bu has already arrived, then Xu Rong must be behind, and Lu Bu has not just arrived today, but has been there for two or three days, so maybe Xu Rong will be like Hu Zhen and will come soon.

So far, it can be said that the situation in the early stage is relatively favorable, and Wen Chou and Sun Jian have indeed achieved "the speed of the soldiers and the surprise". If Lu Bu hadn't come out to stir up the situation, then Taigu Pass might have been crumbling and precarious.

However, because of Lu Bu's sudden appearance, he disturbed the situation, and dragged Sun Jian in the lock for two days, and he couldn't use all his strength to attack the pass, so that the situation that Sun Jian had to face was a bit delicate.

If one is not good, after Hu Zhen and Xu Rong arrive, the Dong army will have Taigu Zhigu inside, and Hu, Xu, and Lu Bu will respond outside, and this battle may become a protracted war and a war of attrition. Once the battle is fought like this, it is difficult to say whether the winner will be lost.

And if defeated, even if Wen and Sun can return to Yingchuan safely, their strength will be greatly reduced, and the matter of asking Dong should not be mentioned again at least in the short term, not only can they not mention Dong again, but for Wen Chou, Changshan may have something to do.

And even if it wins, it will be a lot of casualties, and then fight Luoyang, then Dong Zhuo still has tens of thousands of soldiers around Luoyang, Wen and Sun are afraid that they will not be able to catch it, and in the end, they can only give Yuan Shao and others the great merit of "recovering Luoyang".

One is that if you lose, the backyard may catch fire, and even if you win, it may be a hard work and make a wedding dress for others. Therefore, whether it is Wen Chou or Sun Jian, they are unwilling to turn this battle into a protracted war and a war of attrition. So, if we don't want to fight a protracted war and a war of attrition, how should this war be fought next?

The possible assistance of Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, and Lu Bu was expected by Wen Chou and Sun Jian. Before the two of them sent out the troops, they repeatedly deduced and had certain countermeasures against this.

Sun Jian ordered the map hanging in the tent to spread it on the ground, squatted in front of the map, touched the back of his head, and said to Wen Chou: "Zixiao, Lu Bu arrived early, which was unexpected by you and me, and now I have not been able to leave him, and you and my soldiers have been frustrated. Xu Rong and Hu Zhen thought that they would be able to reach the pass soon, and at that time, Lu Bu and the two of them would join forces, and I am afraid it would be even more difficult to deal with. ”

"Wentai, before sending troops, you and I had a discussion, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, and Lu Bu were expected. Now it's just that Lu Bu arrived a little early, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Let's do what you and I planned earlier."

Wen Chou and Sun Jian's earlier deployment was: If they can break through the pass before Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, and Lu Bu arrive, it is naturally the best, if not, the two armies will line up to find fighters, first break Xu Rong and others, and then break through the Taigu Pass. (To be continued.) )
