Chapter 151: Military Might
In the dimly lit prison, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai sat on the ground, a jar of turbid wine, a roast goose, and the three of them, who were the enemies of life and death, sat together, except for the sound of drinking and chewing food, everything was quiet, and the atmosphere was weird and embarrassing.
"Smack!" Ma Chao threw the finished goose bones on the ground, picked up the wine bowl, poured a mouthful, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and his eyes shot at Lu Bu like lightning.
"I'm full, shouldn't you open the chains for me!" Ma Chao said viciously, he would not be willing to fight to the death with Lu Bu.
Ma Dai was startled, wrapped in goose meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother, forget it, we are both prisoners, what are you fighting?" ”
Ma Chao ignored Ma Dai and stared at Lu Bu with dead eyes.
"Good! Come! Open the chains! Lu Bu grinned, stood up, and stepped back, the jailer heard the sound, hurriedly walked in, and carefully opened the chain for Ma Chao.
As soon as the iron chain was opened, Ma Chao was like a dragon entering the sea, his whole body was comfortable, he stood in place and moved his muscles and bones, the loose bones "snapped", and his combat power continued to improve.
"Open it to Brother Bozhan too!" Lu Bu looked at Ma Dai.
"Huh? I won't fight with you! Ma Dai mistakenly thought that Lu Bu wanted him to join forces with Ma Chao to fight him, so he hurriedly shook his head, joking, Lu Bu is such a fierce person, if he is slapped hard by him, will he still have his life?
Ma Chao glanced at Ma Dai with disdain, "Lu Bu, it doesn't seem appropriate for us to fight here?" Place is too small! "Also, the space in the cell is too small, and it is difficult for the two of them to spread their hands and feet.
Ma Dai was loosened from his chains. It's also very relaxing.
"I think that's enough!" Lu Bu casually glanced at the cell. Take off your coat. It's easy.
"Good!" Ma Chao nodded, since Lu Bu insisted on fighting here, he didn't have to be reluctant.
Ma Dai subconsciously took two steps back, this kind of super-first-class heads-up, it was better for him to hide a little farther.
The two of them, who were originally calm and abnormal, suddenly, burst out with a violent battle intent, and the entire prison. The murderous aura caused the temperature in the cell to drop sharply, and the jailer sneezed several times in a row and quickly ran out.
The prisoners in the other cells were so frightened that they plunged into the haystack, trembling and not daring to look at it.
Master duel, the first battle spirit, whoever can overwhelm the opponent's momentum will be able to come out on top. There is no doubt about the aura of the two combined. Shrouded in the whole prison.
Ma Chao was in a complicated mood, and Lu Bu was like his nemesis, shattering his arrogant heart again and again, like an insurmountable mountain standing in front of him.
I'm going to beat you! I'm Ma Chao - I won't lose!
Ma Chao's heart was burning with anger, his fists condensed the strength of his whole body, Ma Dai secretly cheered for Ma Chao, although he was not optimistic about Ma Chao.
Lu Bu's whole body tensed, and his strength increased to the extreme, waiting for the battle.
"Yikes!" Ma Chao took an arrow step, jumped towards Lu Bu, smashed the space with an iron fist, and smashed it towards Lu Bu's front door with a roar, the wind roared, wanting to swallow Lu Bu.
"Fight!" Lu Bu roared in a low voice, fearless, and kept meeting him with an iron fist.
"Bang!"
The two iron fists collided together, and the bones rubbed together with a loud sound.
Ma Chao's face changed slightly, his blood surged, and Lu Bu's expression was unpretentious, cold and ruthless.
"Damn it!" Ma Chao's other iron fist was ready to attack, containing a huge amount of power, and blasted towards Lu Bu, but Lu Bu still did not dodge, and his fist followed him like a shadow and crashed into it.
"Bang!" The crisp sound of bones grinding was deafening, and Ma Dai's face turned pale, and he retreated to the wall and leaned against it.
"Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!"
One person's eyes breathe fire, and his heart is bitter and boring, and the other person's eyes are cold and his heart is full of admiration.
The two were no longer simply bombarding each other, they moved, two strange figures, shuttling through various cells, the sound of fierce collisions, the cracking of wood, the sound of walls and earth smashing.
Sweat splashed, full of fighting spirit, murderous roar
Who wins and who loses this battle? Who knows?
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu went to the camp to order troops, preparing to kill Ben Xiliang and swallow all this piece of fat.
Because Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Pang De and other generals were stationed outside, the main generals of this expedition naturally fell on Xu Huang, a general, and Xu Huang was a demoted general, so he couldn't arrange too high a position at the beginning, and he had to accumulate military merits.
In terms of the infantry army, Lu Bu brought 20,000 troops, and Chang'an only left 5,000 troops to garrison, but fortunately, it was stable on three sides, and there was no need to worry about the invasion of the enemy.
"Xu Huang, I order you to be the vanguard, lead 5,000 people, seize martial arts, Zhang Xiu, you are from Xiliang, you are quite familiar with the situation in Xiliang, you are the deputy general!"
Lu Bu stood on the platform, majestic, and gave orders, because Jia Xu needed to stay in Chang'an, deal with government affairs, and could not accompany him, so the title of military advisor fell to Xun You, Xun You changed into a green coat, a Confucian temperament, and stood beside Lu Bu.
"The last general commands!" Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu came out of the ranks, and the two of them were secretly happy in their hearts, as long as they made military achievements, why would they not be promoted to knighthood.
"Huh? What about Dian Wei? Lu Bu glanced at the generals on both sides, but he didn't see Dian Wei's figure.
Xun You served as a military advisor, so he naturally had to find out the situation of the generals under Lu Bu's account, so that Lu Bu could analyze their talents and what positions they were suitable for.
Therefore, Xun Yu has a good understanding of the situation of these people.
"Enlighten the lord!" Xun You walked up to Lu Bu and prepared to speak.
"Wait! I'm coming! But seeing Dian Wei with a big bald head, copying a double halberd, galloping all the way, he was depressed, and only then rode into the camp, but was stopped by the soldiers, saying that he could not ride horses in the camp.
Dian Wei was so angry that he wanted to scold the soldiers, but he had no choice but to abandon his horse and run.
When the generals saw Dian Wei running all the way, they all grinned and laughed.
Lu Bu's expression was serious, and when Dian Wei came to him out of breath, he asked in a deep voice: "Dian Wei, I went to Xiliang today, and yesterday, I gave the order to everyone, didn't you receive it?" ”
Dian Wei scratched his head and said ashamedly: "I drank too much wine last night and missed the hour." ”
"Military discipline is strict, no one can commit it! Drag it down and hit eighty military sticks hard! Lu Bu waved his hand, and two sergeants with five big and three thick came over.
Everyone looked at each other, they all knew that the relationship between Lu Dao Dian Wei and Lu Bu was close, like brothers, I didn't want today, Lu Bu was ruthless and blamed Dian Wei.
Hou Cheng and Hao Meng, who have always thought that they have a close relationship with Lu Bu, sometimes can't help but be a little indulgent, and when they saw this scene, they all trembled in their hearts.
"I said, brother, you don't have to be so serious!" Dian Wei was dumbfounded and looked at Lu Bu stupidly.
Lu Bu was still expressionless, his eyelids blinked casually, and he said in his heart, Lao Dian, you can suffer a loss, otherwise, what will I use to govern the army? And what is used to establish military prestige?
"Lord, eighty military sticks, isn't it too heavy? Besides, when the army is opened, it is most taboo to punish the generals first. Xun You said.
"Yes, yes, spare Dian Wei this time!"
"Dian Wei, you still don't admit your mistake!"
The crowd hurriedly persuaded.
Dian Wei still stood stupidly, looking at Lu Bu, Lu Bu's eyelids blinked again, military power can't be damaged!
"Well, don't talk about it, this time it's my mistake, I'm willing to accept the punishment!" Dian Wei reacted and bowed his head in defeat.
Everyone stopped talking, only to feel that Lu Bu suddenly became so stern and strange.
"This expedition to Xiliang is a great plan of our army, and we must not afford to lose it, and all generals should work together to abide by military discipline and not violate it. Dian Wei, I read your first offense, minus half of the punishment, and beat you forty sticks. ”
Lu Bu said lightly.
"Hmm." Dian Wei is like a frosted eggplant.
Lu Bu said again: "In order to motivate you to fight bravely on the battlefield, you will first hit twenty military sticks, and the remaining twenty military sticks, for the time being, if you can make war achievements, I will not only exempt you from punishment, but also reward you heavily." ”
After speaking, Lu Bu waved his hand and stopped looking at Dian Wei.
Dian Wei was taken down.
With the crisp sound, everyone's hearts jumped, and all of a sudden, the scene became majestic, and the generals straightened up, puffed up their chests, and the soldiers around were all in good spirits.
"Let's go!" Lu Bu said coldly.
"Knock——! Knock ——! Knock ——! ”
"Uh——! Woo——! Woo——! ”
The drums and gongs sounded in unison, Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu led the five thousand vanguard troops, took the lead in setting off, and opened their martial arts, Lu Bu and Xun You led the army later, and Dian Wei was thrown on the baggage cart and lay down, in fact, the twenty army sticks were nothing to Dian Wei.
But Lu Bu still ordered someone to lift Dian Wei to it, and made him pretend to be a blooming ass, and kept moaning.
Ma Chao and Ma Dai's treatment was still not good, they were packed in a prisoner car, strictly guarded, and went all the way to Xiliang with the army.
Outside Wugong City, Ma and Han's armies have withdrawn, leaving two big villages in a mess, and Wugong City is also in a state of emptiness, Ma Teng and Han Sui are unwilling to send troops to garrison, for them, the nest can not be saved, who still has the heart to take care of this broken city.
Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu did not fight a battle, easily occupied Wugong City, and sent a large number of scouts to Xiliang and other places to reconnoiter the situation.
The largest city in Xiliang is none other than Liangzhou, which is Ma Teng's lair, followed by Xizhou, which is in the hands of Liu Xiongming, another small warlord, and Han Sui's lair is Jincheng.
With the gradual weakening of the Han family, the influence on Xiliang is getting smaller and smaller, so that a small Xiliang has dozens of warlords.
Of course, Dong Zhuo is undoubtedly the most outstanding of these warlords, but unfortunately after leaving Xiliang, he provoked the anger of the heavens and the people, and it was over.
Secondly, Ma Teng and Han Sui are the two most powerful, and the remaining small warlords have died a lot in the process of attacking each other, but there are still a lot left. (To be continued......)
