Soon a military newspaper came, and Wen Chou and others carefully read the military newspaper.

But it turned out to be: after the defeat of the Taigu defenders yesterday, Sun Jian's generals were full of spirit, and they all asked for battle, Sun Jian did not wait for Wen Chou to arrive, and divided his troops to go around to the east of Taigu, wanting to seize the key pass again, in order to cut off the way of reinforcements from the tiger prison, so as to try to force the Taigu defenders to surrender, but what he didn't expect was that among the several people sent to the east of Taigu, Cheng Pu happened to meet Lu Bu who galloped to aid Taigu in the evening.

According to common sense, from Dong Zhuo to the Tiger Prison military order, to the Tiger Prison to send troops, and then to the reinforcements to Taigu, it will take three or four days, but Lu Bu did not come to aid Taigu this time, but to aid Hu Zhen, he was walking halfway, and heard that Sun Jian went straight to Taigu, so he simply did not go to Yique, and came to Taigu instead.

When he arrived outside Taigu Pass, he happened to run into Cheng Pu. Although Lu Bu did not bring too many soldiers and horses in order to reach Yique as soon as possible, and only brought 3,000 cavalry, but Cheng Pu's troops were mostly foot soldiers, and they were caught off guard.

From Sun Jian's victory over the Taigu counter-battle to Cheng Pu's defeat to Lu Bu, there was only less than an hour in between. These two battles took place yesterday, and the relevant military newspapers could have been delivered to Wen Chou at the latest last night, but after Cheng Pu's defeat, there was a dispute among Sun Jian's troops, so the delivery of the military reports was delayed.

The dispute that occurred in Sun Jian's ministry last night was not for anything else, but for "Lu Bu has arrived, Cheng Pu has been defeated, so how should the next battle be fought". Although Sun Jian's troops are many southerners, they can deal with Lu Bu, who has the number of flying generals in the state. But there are many people who have heard about it, and they all know its bravery.

Some people think that Lu Bu is coming, which has strengthened the strength of Taigu's defenders, and the current situation is that the Dong army has Taigu's solidity inside, and Lu Bu has Lu Bu outside, which is for Sun and Wen's second army. It seems that we should not rush to win, but should fight steadily.

But more Sun Jian's generals thought that although Lu Bu was brave, according to Cheng Pu's report, he only brought about 3,000 cavalry, not many soldiers and horses, and Sun Jian's side, not counting the Wenchou Department, also had more than 20,000 people, and Taigu's guards had just been defeated for a while. I don't dare to rush forward anymore, so now I only need to concentrate my forces, fight Lu Bu first, with more than 20,000 people, and attack him with 3,000 horsemen, it's not that I can't win.

Some people insisted that they should wait until the arrival of the Ministry of Literature and Ugliness before discussing the war. But some people think that Lu Bu and Xu Rong are in the tiger prison, and now Lu Bu has arrived. Xu Rong will definitely come later, if he doesn't break Lu Bu first. When Xu Rong comes, Dong Jun's soldiers and horses are stronger, and Xu Rong is also a strong general, it will be more difficult to win.

People with different opinions on both sides argued fiercely. The dispute lasted until the second half of the night, when Sun Jian made a decision and made a decision, and the Ministry of Literature and Ugliness is still in the area of Liang County. Even if he traveled day and night, it would take two days to reach Taigu, and since Lu Bu had arrived, Xu Rong would definitely be behind him, and it might not take two days to reach Taigu. Therefore, we can't wait for Wen Chou to come before fighting Lu Bu, we must rush before Xu Rong arrives and solve Lu Bu first.

Sun Jian's decision was also sent to Wen Chou's hands along with the military newspaper. Wen Chou, looking at it, he knew that Lu Bu had a record at the end of the original Han Dynasty, although he despised him as a person, but he had to regain his combat strength, and hurriedly wrote a letter, in which he said: "Lu Fengxian is a flying general in the state, and he has the courage of a tiger, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, and Wei Xu are all tiger warriors, and there are thousands of enemies. ”

Xincheng ordered someone to send it to Sun Jian urgently. Tian Feng and Tian Chou agreed with Wen Chou's letter. However, Tian Feng and Tian Chou's focus is not only on Lu Bu's bravery, but on Sun Jianbu's winning streak.

Tian Feng frowned and said: "Sun Hou has won a row, and now he suddenly meets a strong enemy, and the location is not in me, so the arrogant soldiers are afraid of defeat!" ”

Tian Chou was also worried, and said: "Since Sun Hou has decided to break Lu Bu first, I am afraid that he will not follow what Ming Gong said." ”

Wen Chou ordered Zhou Lu to say: "Qing Ke mentioned the elite of the headquarters, quickly combined with Gongji, and hurried to Taigu." If General Sun doesn't follow my words and insists on fighting with Lu Bu, Qing and the others can help him first. I will hurry my troops and horses, and I will be there in two days at most. ”

Zhou Lu responded to the order, lifted the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, abandoned the baggage, joined forces with Yan Liang, and rushed to Taigu.

……

Sun Jian was in camp and received a letter from Wen Chou in the afternoon. When he received the letter, Sun Jian was discussing with the generals and discussing the attack on Lu Bu. Sun Jian temporarily interrupted the military discussion, first read Wen Chou's letter, read it, and showed it to the generals. The generals will pass it on and see.

Wu Jing got up first and said loudly: "The last time I hit Dong, the civil and military forces are indomitable, and the power is subordinate, this time I hit Dong, Ming Gong has to be the first, and this husband is also fighting for merit!" Although it was a small setback to Lu Bu for a while, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, how could he just stop the army? Sun Jian agreed.

Someone advised Sun Jiandao: "Those who have been raised by the public and civil and military forces have done it, and the state affairs are also, how can they fight for merit?" Lu Bu is really brave, I am on the verge again, the land is not conducive to me, if you don't wait for the civil and military fierce, alone and fight, if you lose, then the previous achievements will be abandoned, it is better to wait for the civil and military to come. ”

Sun Jian refused to listen, and said generously to everyone: "I have made friends with Wenwu Meng and are like-minded, precisely because I and Wenwu Meng are raising troops together for national affairs, so if I stop waiting for the army because of my small defeat for a while, and delay the fighter, then how can I see Wenwu Meng!" ”

In the final analysis, Sun Jian himself is a fierce eagle, although he and Wen Chou are in the same spirit, respect and love each other, but as a warlike warrior who started with military merits, he is impossible to give all the credit to Wen Chou, a slight defeat, he will stop, waiting for Wen Chou to come, where is his Sun Jian's face? Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Lu Bu does not have many soldiers and horses, and he thinks he can win.

The soldiers and horses brought by Lu Bu are all cavalry, and it is impossible for the cavalry to enter Taigu to guard the pass, and once they enter the pass, there is no mobility, so Lu Bu's soldiers and horses have not entered the pass, so they are placed on the east side of Taigu Pass, and Huang Gai and Sun Benbu in the west of Taigu Pass look at it from afar, and Sun Jian's main force in front of Taigu Pass is facing it.

Sun Jian continued the content of the military discussion just now, and said: "Lu Bu's department is in the eastern part of the country, and our army cannot attack it around the pass, and the only way to do this now is to transfer him out, and then our army will set up an ambush to attack him." ”

If you bypass Taigu Pass and attack Lu Bu, if Taigu's guards come out again and block your waist, then Sun Jianbu will threaten, so if you want to break Lu Bu, you can only transfer him out of the east of Taigu Pass and let him enter the battlefield preset by Sun Jian. (To be continued.) )
