Chapter 177: Shock
Yuan Tan was very angry, Zhu Ling took 8,000 people to attack Beihai, and when the two sides were deadlocked, the victory was still undecided, and he ordered the withdrawal of the army, resulting in the defeat of the army, which is really a shame!
After receiving Yuan Tan's order, the pro-army beside him set off to Zhu Ling and executed Zhu Ling according to Yuan Tan's instructions.
At this time, Xin Ping hurriedly caught up from behind and hugged his fists and said: "Childe can't, Zhu Ling is the general of our army, and he is personally assigned by the lord to help Gongzi, just a small defeat, Gongzi will execute Zhu Ling, which is unstable in our army, and it is not conducive to the morale of our army!" Please think twice! ”
Yuan Tan said angrily: "Sir, he Zhu Ling led 8,000 people and Lu Bu's 5,000 men to fight, and withdrew his army without a decisive victory, if I don't execute him, then how can our army survive!" ”
"This, the situation at that time, maybe Zhu Ling had a last resort, so let's do it, Gongzi, first take away his military power, cut him to a pawn, and wait for us to figure out the situation at that time and punish him, how about it?" Xin Ping persuaded hard.
Yuan Tan originally wanted to say that the facts were already very clear, and there was no need to check again, but Zhu Ling was sent by Yuan Shao to help him, and if he was killed casually, Yuan Shao would definitely be unhappy, "Okay, according to what Mr. said, save him from death and send him as a soldier!" ”
Xin Ping blinked.
This military order quickly spread to the front, Zhu Ling was leading the soldiers to re-encamp, and Yuan Tan's pro-army came in a hurry and announced Yuan Tan's military order on the spot.
Poor Zhu Ling couldn't speak, so he had to tearfully take off his helmet and cloak and become a stormtrooper.
The rear army led by Yuan Tan arrived that night, Zhu Ling's camp had been set up, and a large amount of grain and grass were transported in. Yuan Tan sat in the tent. Carefully look at the information of Beihai City. discussed the siege of the city with Xin Ping and others, during which Zhu Ling wanted to meet Yuan Tan several times, but Yuan Tan refused.
Dozens of miles away from Beihai City, there were soldiers and horses stopping all the way, and there were about 15,000 people, who were the Taishan thieves and Zang Ba and others.
They abandoned their old nest Kaiyang and came to Lu Bu with soldiers, horses, and baggage. Hoping to get a place to settle down, compared to Cao Cao, the reason why Zang Ba is more willing to choose Lu Bu may be that Lu Bu is also from a poor family, and they are all people of the same class.
Comparatively speaking, the imperial court behind Lu Bu still has a certain prestige and is orthodox!
Zang Ba glanced at the direction of Kaiyang behind him, and sighed, he didn't know if it was right for Lu Dao to do this, and went to Lu Bu. Can you give the brothers glory and wealth?
The east is white, and it will be a little longer. Zang Ba's army is about to rush to Beihai to join Lu Bu's army.
Zang Ba had some expectations in his heart.
Not far from him, a group of soldiers and horses, like refugees fleeing, were yawning and getting up to hurry.
As we got closer to the North Sea, this information spread rapidly.
First of all, it is naturally Lu Bu who knows that Zang Ba, Liu Pi, and Gong are coming, and Lu Bu has also been contacting them, for him, without these soldiers and horses, he can't make any waves at all.
The second is Cao Cao, Cao Cao rushed back to Yanzhou day and night, actively dispatched troops, ready to play a big game, on the same day, he secretly took a road to Yanzhou and the vicinity of the border of Beihai, ready to take advantage of Yuan Tan's defeat, he personally shot, trapped Lu Bu to death.
And then there is Yuan Tan, at dawn, Yuan Jun buried the pot to cook, and today they are going to attack Beihai again, so they started to prepare early.
The soldiers got up, but Yuan Tan was still asleep in the tent.
The scout didn't dare to disturb Yuan Tan's rest, so he had to inform Xin Ping of the news of Zang Ba and the others' arrival, and Xin Ping was shocked into a cold sweat when he saw the information.
"No wonder Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's truce did not have an impact on Lu Bu, it turned out that Lu Bu had something to rely on, I thought that Lu Bu was really righteous and awe-inspiring, and he wanted to save Kong from fire and water!"
Xin Ping frowned, "The strength of Zang Ba and the others, plus the strength of Beihai, is enough to compete with our army, with the cunning of Lu Bu's troops, there is no hope of victory, unless the lord can transfer troops to help!" ”
Thinking about it, Xin Ping hurriedly entered the account and informed Yuan Tan, "Childe, childe, the latest information!" ”
Yuan Tan was woken up, the boss was reluctant, rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and said hoarsely: "Sir, what happened, noisy my sweet dream!" ”
Xin commented: "Lu Bu's reinforcements arrived today, and our army's chances of victory are slim!" ”
"Reinforcements? Where did Lu Bu get the reinforcements? Yuan Tan was surprised.
"Kaiyang Zangba, Runan Liu Pi, Gong Du! Their combined strength is far above us! Xin Ping said worriedly.
"What?" Yuan Tan was very surprised.
"So what are we going to do?" Yuan Tan asked.
Xin commented: "My suggestion is not to have a conflict with Lu Bu, slowly withdraw the army, recently Cao Cao has also begun to secretly transfer troops to clean up Lu Bu, let them be bitten by two hungry wolves!" ”
"No, if I withdraw like this, I will have to be laughed to death by those people in Yecheng!" Yuan Tan quit, he was bent on destroying Lu Bu, gaining prestige and support, if he withdrew, there would be no hope, Zhu Ling and Lu Bu fought a battle, although it was a small defeat, but it was enough to become a stain on his inheritance of Yuan Shao's family business in the future, it can be said that if he withdrew the army like this, he Yuan Tan would lose more than half.
"If Gongzi insists on refusing to withdraw his troops, then please ask Gongzi to repair the book to the lord and ask him to send reinforcements, it is best to transfer Yan Liang, Wen Chou, such a general, you need to know, Lu Bu's bravery, the best in the world, no one in our army is invincible, there is no one who supports the scene, it is not conducive to the morale of the army!" Xin Ping analyzed.
"Mr. is reasonable, I will repair the book to my father and ask him to send Yan Liang and Wen Chou to transfer some soldiers!" Yuan Tan said.
"Today, let's not attack Beihai City, let the soldiers rest and wait for reinforcements!" Xin Ping said.
Yuan Tan nodded, "According to what Mr. said!" ”
Yuan Tan did not march, which really surprised Lu Bu and the others, so it was okay to give them time to greet Zang Ba, Liu Pi, and Gong Du.
One of Zang Ba's soldiers and horses entered the scope of Beihai City in an orderly manner.
Lu Bu brought people to greet Zang Ba and the others early.
Zang Ba was dressed in heavy Xuanwu armor and carried a machete, majestic and majestic. The fierce killing aura naturally emanated. Intimidating.
Sun Guan, Yin Li and others followed.
Zang Ba saw a fiery red horse in front of him from afar. There was a person sitting on it with the aura of tyranny killing, and the aura of luxury was unobstructed at a glance.
"This is Lu Bu." Zang Ba and the others were secretly frightened.
Lu Bu also saw Zang Ba from afar, in order to show sincerity and courtesy, when Zang Ba and others appeared in their field of vision, Lu Bu and others dismounted and waited.
Zang Ba was greatly moved and surprised when he saw Lu Bu and the others suddenly dismount, and hurriedly dismounted.
"Kaiyang Zangba, meet Wen Hou!" Zang Ba shouted before he could walk in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The two sides hit it off at first sight. The hearty laughter never stopped.
"Xuan Gao, it's good that you're here, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon for you!" Lu Bu sighed with emotion, great, my eight strong generals are finally together!
Zang Ba didn't even dare to be.
"I have ordered someone to build a camp outside the city, let the brothers go and rest quickly!" Lu Bu hurriedly greeted.
Chen Gong said: "Leave the matter of bringing the soldiers into the camp to me!" ”
"It's okay, there's Mr. Law." Zang Ba hugged his fists.
Chen Gong took Zang Ba to the camp, Lu Bu and the others had not dispersed yet, they still had to wait for Liu Bi and Gong Du's team.
From early morning to noon, everyone was sweating profusely. Some began to grumble a little.
Compared with Zang Ba, Liu Bi and Gong Du have bad reputations. Although Zang Ba was originally a thief of Mount Tai, he was recruited by Tao Qian, but the two of them have always been thieves.
Lu Bu didn't mind the identities of these two people, in history, these two people helped Liu Bei do the right thing with Cao Cao in Xuzhou, although the end was miserable.
Finally, the scout hurriedly came to report, saying that Liu Bi and Gong had arrived.
What caught my eye was a large group of refugees, quite miserable, and all the way to it, the team of the two of them still had 3,000 people, all dressed in tatters, and they didn't even have decent weapons.
"Wen Hou, we've finally seen you!" When Liu Pi and Gong saw Lu Bu, they couldn't wait to come up and hug Lu Bu's thighs.
"Brothers have worked hard!" Lu Bu looked at the group of people with some embarrassment.
"The camp has been set up, brothers, hurry up, food and other arrangements have been arranged for you!"
Kong Rong wiped the hot sweat and said.
Before the words fell, the eyes of a group of refugees lit up, and under the leadership of Lu Bu, three thousand people arrived at the camp.
Outside Beihai City, there were three large battalions, namely Lu Bu's army, Zang Ba's army, and Runan's army, of course, Zang Ba's army had the largest number.
In order to cope with the next battle, Kong Rong requisitioned young men who could fight from Beihai City, about 2,000 people, which was considered to be the limit.
When Zang Ba came, he brought grain and grass baggage, and to a certain extent, he didn't need Kong Rong to supply anything.
And Beihai was also smooth before, there were no major wars, and the grain and other reserves were also very complete, enough to supply the food of the rest of the armies.
At present, there are four troops and horses in Beihai, Kong Rong let Tai Shici lead the Beihai soldiers, and through conscription, there are still 5,000 Beihai soldiers.
Zang Ba brought 15,000 soldiers and horses.
Liu Pi and Gong Du's Runan Army, 3,000 people.
Lu Bu's trapped camp and infantry army still have 2,000 people left.
A total of 25,000 soldiers and horses were commanded and dispatched by Lu Bu.
Yuan's army was about 20,000 people, and in comparison, Yuan Tan wanted to win against Lu Bu, but he had no chance of winning, so he had to transfer troops from Jizhou to help.
In general, in the North Sea, there are three potential forces.
Lu Bu, Yuan Tan, Guan Hai.
There is also an invisible force of soldiers and horses, that is Cao Cao, who is lurking on the border, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Lu Bu at any time.
Prime Minister's Office.
Lu Bu and others gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.
Kong Rong was overjoyed when he saw so many soldiers and horses, he just wanted Lu Bu to quickly lead the troops to fight a bloody road and return to Guanzhong, so that he could leave this dangerous place.
"Mr. Gongtai, Cao Cao blocked the boundary south of the Yellow River in order to trap me in Beihai, you said earlier that the breakthrough point is Yuan Tan, I don't know what we should do next." Lu Bu asked.
Chen Gong said: "Now that our troops have increased, Yuan Tan does not dare to attack easily, he will definitely invite troops from Yuan Shao, Wen Hou should take advantage of the fact that his reinforcements have not arrived and his foothold is not stable, and give a hard blow!"
