The fifth year of the Great Cause, May 13.

It has been more than two months since Zhang Shuang crossed the river, and the soldiers lost on the landing have been replenished. Zhang Shuang's army was restored to 106,000 people.

Of course, the Black Armor Meteor Army and the Moon-Chaser Army are supplemented, so the actual combat power has decreased a little, but overall it is not a big deal.

Other problems are not big, but the weather is a little scary.

The summer is scorching and boring.

One hundred and six thousand people, plus sixty or seventy thousand war horses, this daily eating, drinking, and Lazar became a big problem. In particular, feces and urine are even dirtier to deal with, resulting in an unpleasant smell swirling in the air.

Zhang Shuang originally planned to lead Dian Wei and Zhou Cang to inspect the men and horses of each battalion together, and care about the health of the soldiers and the defense of the military camp.

But he was soon defeated by this smell, and hurriedly returned to the Chinese army's big tent.

After coming back, Zhang Shuang immediately asked Li Hui to light the incense, and when the smell of Western precious spices wafted out from the pottery incense burner, Zhang Shuang was really relieved.

"Although I have been in the military for a long time, I am still not used to the taste of this summer." Zhang Shuang said helplessly.

"General, are you pretending to be forced?" Li Hui smiled shamefully, he recently learned a little word from Zhang Shuang's side.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Shuang rolled his eyes and said.

"You are a great general to have such an opportunity, others want to ask for the treatment that they can't ask for, but you are here with a long sigh, how can those heroes who desperately want to be crowned marquis and worship the general can stand it??" Li Hui said, and then added: "Even I want to beat you up, General." ”

"Yes, I was hated." Zhang Shuang touched the back of his head, and his face ached.

Zhang Shuang has been with Li Hui for a few years, and Zhang Shuang has stayed with him more than with his wife. The identities of the two are not so much like monarchs and ministers, but more like friends.

Such jokes are commonplace.

After a pause, Li Hui finally remembered what was serious and asked, "General, you have been living next to Dong Zhuo here for more than two months. Although we consume food, we cannot afford to consume the pace. During these days, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao have all made their own progress, and if you wait any longer, it will have a great impact on you, have you figured out how to break the situation??? ”

"If you break the game, you have to look at the cavalry." Zhang Shuang shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Cavalry??? Didn't you say that Dong Zhuo wouldn't fight with our Lu Cheqi? Li Hui said curiously.

"It's this time and that time. On that day, I thought that Dong Zhuo would not send cavalry to engage Lu Che because Huaxiong's army had been defeated and had no morale. And after two months, I believe that Huaxiong's army has also recovered its morale, and a Xiliang Iron Cavalry, regardless of physical strength and morale, will Dong Zhuo have no confidence? Zhang Shuangle said.

"That's true, but isn't your confidence a little bigger?" Li Hui asked with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shuang asked rhetorically.

"Lu Che's cavalry is indeed well trained, but are you sure that he can take out Huaxiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry with 40,000 cavalry?" Li Hui asked.

"If Lu Bu is not good, then no one in the world will be able to defeat Huaxiong's cavalry." Zhang Shuang shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Okay." Li Hui just reminded him, and he didn't say anything when he saw Zhang Shuang so confident.

"Just do it when you think of it." The essence in Zhang Shuang's eyes flashed, and he slowly got up and said.

"Now?" Li Hui said in surprise.

"Right now." Zhang Shuang nodded. After pondering for a while, he took a white silk from the desk, picked up the pen and wrote lines of words on the white silk, and handed it to Li Hui when he was finished.

"What is this?" Li Hui wondered.

"Challenge book, you send someone to send it to Dong Zhuo. Let Lu Bu come in again. Zhang Shuang said.

"No."

Li Hui understood, and promised to go down.

Not long after, Lu Bu walked in.

"The general is looking for me?" Lu Bu bowed and asked.

Zhang Shuang looked up at Lu Bu, this guy has been a lot of peace during this time, and he has put enough effort into training cavalry, and the results are very great. I think I have a fire in my heart, and it's just the time to take advantage of it.

Thinking about it, Zhang Shuang asked Lu Budao: "I have already written a book of cavalry decisive battles to Dong Zhuo, can I have confidence?" ”

"Cavalry battle?" Lu Bu's eyes suddenly radiated two rays of light, and he said without hesitation: "The last general is very confident. ”

"Think about it clearly, the cavalry is the key to my command of the northwest. If you and the Hun cavalry fail, then I can only retreat to the east of the river and find another way. ”

Zhang Shuang held his posture and asked condescendingly.

No way, Lao Tzu, I'm also rustic, let's have a radical method.

A high posture, an uncertain tone. Let Lu Bu feel that this is an insult to himself, he really underestimated me Lu Bu, do you think that my Lu Bu can't even compare to Huaxiong in addition to being alone, and training cavalry?

In the midst of the raging fire, Lu Bu tightened his face and raised his head and said, "If you are defeated, the general can take my head and drink wine." ”

"Really?" Zhang Shuang asked.

"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase." Lu Bu looked proud.

"Okay, he is worthy of being the invincible Lu Fengxian in the world." Zhang Shuang was about to laugh in his heart, so he slapped the case on his face and gave a thumbs up.

"Let's go down and prepare." Zhang Shuang said again.

"No." Lu Bu promised and bowed down.

"That's why I said that Lu Bu is just a knife in my hand, how can I kill him and destroy the Great Wall at this moment?" Zhang Shuang smiled, and there was a sense of pleasure in his heart to dominate the general.

…………….

"Da Da Da!"

In Zhang Shuang's camp, he killed a fast horse, and immediately the small soldiers carried the war book and rushed to Dong Zhuo's camp, galloping like the wind, and the sky was full of dust.

"Who are you?"

Dong Zhuo's camp was closed, and the door was hung with a war exemption card, but there were many heavily guarded soldiers on the camp gate.

"I am a nobody under the command of the general, and I hereby send the general's war letter." The soldier took out the package on his body and raised it.

"Put it on."

Dong Zhuo didn't think much about it, put down a basket, and shouted.

"Let you Dong Gong make a quick decision, I'm waiting for news here." The creep put the package down and said loudly.

"Wait." Dong Zhuoshi said.

………….

Inside Dong Zhuo's camp.

Jia Xu was reading in his tent, and as Dong Zhuo's mastermind, his treatment was very high. The food and clothing are all first-class. However, his mind was not focused on this, and he usually did not take a step out of the camp except for Dong Zhuo.

"Mr. Wenhe, the lord is looking for you." A creep walked in.

"Hmm." Jia Xu answered and walked out of the camp tent and came to the big tent of the Chinese army. I saw Dong Zhuo sitting high, holding a white silk in his hand, and the expression on his face was very complicated, with both joy and resentment.

"What's going on?" Jia Xu took a few steps forward and asked.

"See for yourself." Dong Zhuo handed the white silk in his hand to Jia Xu. Jia Xu stretched out his hand and took a look. "Zhong Ying's feet, you and I have been hunting Feng Yi for several months, and it is really boring to be silent, I want to use Lu Bu as a general, and the 40,000 cavalry and the 40,000 Xiliang iron cavalry will fight to the death, I don't know what to do?"

Jia Xu immediately frowned after reading it. He finally understood why Dong Zhuo's expression was so complicated, the joy was that Dong Zhuo was very confident in his cavalry, and the same resentment was because Zhang Shuang despised his cavalry.

All in all, Dong Zhuo's attitude is very obvious, that is, the decisive battle.

"What does Wen He think?" Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to ask.

"I know that you have seen an opportunity, but I think it is never easy for Zhang Shuang to do things. Since he can send Lu Bu to fight, then in his heart, there are more than seventy or eighty percent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who will defeat you. Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said.

"Defeat my cavalry?" Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It is undeniable that in the last landing battle, Zhang Shuang attacked my cavalry. But Wen He you should also know. My Xiliang Iron Cavalry recovered its morale very quickly, and it was brave and invincible. ”

Jia Xu sighed in his heart, and had to admit that Zhang Shuang's move was very good. did not attack the weak first, but attacked Dong Zhuo the strongest.

aroused Dong Zhuo's fighting spirit, and Zhang Shuang's goal was easily achieved.

Jia Xu knew that Zhang Shuang had a conspiracy, but he couldn't figure it out. Knowing that Dong Zhuo had made a wrong move, of course he wanted to persuade him, and couldn't help but say: "Lord, you have been delaying Zhang Shuang here for two months, and there is no problem if you delay it for another year and a half." A year and a half can make the Kwantung princes grow strong enough. When the time comes, Zhang Shuang will be the enemy on all sides, and he will be self-defeating. Why bother to have a decisive battle with Zhang Shuang now? ”

"I'm afraid that the night is long and there are many dreams, and after the last alliance, I don't really believe in the princes of the Kanto region." Dong Zhuo shook his head, with a look of distrust.

"Lu Bu is invincible in the world, brave and good at fighting." Jia Xu frowned deeply and persuaded again.

"It's just a one-on-one invincibility, and he doesn't have any laudable feats in a real cavalry war." Dong Zhuo shook his head again.

"In that case, then please summon General Huaxiong to fight Zhang Shuang to the death." Jia Xu sighed secretly and bowed.

Seeing that Jia Xu was persuaded by himself, Dong Zhuo's face was excited. Then he took out his pen and ink and wrote a few words on white silk.

"If you want to fight, you will fight, and the day after tomorrow at noon to the north, 200 miles, 40,000 cavalry will fight to the death." After writing, Dong Zhuo dried the ink again and handed over the white silk to his own soldiers.

"Come on, go find Hua Xiong." After returning to the war book, Dong Zhuo Zhuo was excited, and shouted loudly.

"No." The soldiers said yes and went down.

Soon after, Hua Xiong walked in. As soon as Dong Zhuo told Hua Xiong about the matter, Hua Xiong was also full of confidence, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, my lord, it's just the newly trained cavalry of Lu Bu, and the Hun cavalry that has long been weakened, and they can be defeated in a battle." Without cavalry, Zhang Shuang would have to get out of the house obediently. ”

"Okay." Dong Zhuo was greatly impressed and applauded. (To be continued.) )
