On the second day of defending the city, Tai Shici was dressed early in the morning, and he planned to go out of the city to challenge again. It was Xun who stopped slowly, saying that it was right for you to go out and meet the enemy for a while, but please don't try to single out Lu Bu again, let's take it when we see it.

Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "It is said that Lu Bu is the number one general in the world, no one can compare, I want to give him a try." You can rest assured, even if I am defeated, I have the confidence to save my life - since I promised to defend Juancheng, I will not leave my useful body outside Juancheng. ”

He whispered a few words to Shixun, and then ordered the city gate to be opened and led the army to slaughter. Shixun hurriedly climbed the castle tower again to watch the battle. Originally, his heart had been hanging, but when he saw Tai Shici open his mouth to mock Lu Bu, and then turn around to leave, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't expect that the opponent's array fluctuated immediately, and a halberd came out - as soon as he saw that this person was red from his crotch and almost didn't have a single miscellaneous hair, he knew that Lu Dao was finished, and Lu Bu was really provoked!

For the first fierce general of this era, Shi Xun is also very curious, wanting to see what Lu Bu looks like. Of course, the appearance of the little white face on the stage and in film and television dramas is unreliable, Lu Bu has been under Ding Yuan for several years before he voted for Dong Zhuo, and it is estimated that he will have to be around thirty, and he will not be in his early twenties, but even if he is in his early twenties, the ancients were used to growing beards, and it is unlikely that he will have a bare chin. Besides, if you really want to have a chin like Liu Bei, there will definitely be a lot of notes in the history books.

So I looked closely, hey, this Lu Bu really looks a little like Teacher Zhang Guangbei! said that Lu Bu played by Teacher Zhang in the Old Three Kingdoms is just a general impression, from such a distance, of course he can't see Lu Bu's facial features clearly, just seeing that he has a long face like Teacher Zhang, and it seems to be vaguely angular. Lu Bu has a beard, but it is not very thick, and he may be less than thirty years old.

I saw that Lu Bu was wearing heavy armor - that is, the kind of fish scale armor that Sun Ce had worn, but it was not as gorgeous as Sun Ce, it was black, and his arms were not draped, but long sleeves up to his elbows. It's strange to be Xun, and my heart said that when I wore the leather sleeves on my elbows, I felt that my arms were not very flexible, and you could still wield a blade when you dressed like that?

Of course, Lu Bu will not only wear a small crown, with a pheasant tail inserted on it, he is a serious cavalryman, that is, the kind that is put together with a lot of iron pieces, with a goose feather inserted on the left and right. The cloak behind him is also black, and Xun can't help but pout, which doesn't match the color of the red horse at all, you have a problem with your aesthetic taste, right? How good it is for you to wear red, then it's the same as "Akabi......

Just thinking about it, he saw Lu Bu rushing closer and closer, and he just wanted to shout to remind Tai Shi Ci to turn back, but he saw Tai Shi Ci suddenly step on the stirrup and stand up, and turned around to be an arrow.

The arrow was like a meteor, and it was in front of Lu Bu in the blink of an eye, but Lu Bu didn't even dodge, just raised his left arm, and with a blow to the shaft of the arrow, the feather arrow fell to the ground. His horse did not slow down in the slightest, and continued to approach, and in the blink of an eye he was forty paces away.

But Tai Shi Ci didn't stop after shooting an arrow, the big bow was opened in a row, and three arrows were shot in a row. The three arrows were so close to each other that Lu Bu didn't dare to use his arms to carry them anymore, so he picked up the halberd and swirled it above the horse's head, and then crushed all the three arrows.

When Tai Shici saw that archery could not be accomplished, he had to throw down his bow and pick up the horse lance again. Seeing that Lu Bu was about to reach behind him, he did not return to his horse, but lightly knocked on one side of the stirrup and ran towards the side forward. Lu Bu was about to turn, but at this time, he had already entered the shooting range of the crossbowmen in the sheep and horse wall, and at that moment, ten thousand arrows were fired at him, all of them rushing towards him alone.

A good Lu Fengxian, he didn't hurry to dance the halberd again, like a movable shield, and blocked all the arrows in the future. After firing a round of arrows, there was a pause, so Tai Shici turned his horse's head and finally turned around to fight. Lu Bu was so angry that his eyes were red at this time, and he mustered up his strength and stabbed him in the chest with a halberd viciously. Tai Shi Ci used the horse lance in his hand to pinch it, and he felt that his arms were slightly numb, and he said in his heart: "What a lot of strength, it really deserves its name!" ”

The two horses made a mistake, but Lu Bu did not open the halberd and cut Tai Shici's breastplate like Sun Ce did that day, but stabbed the side of his body with a halberd again. Tai Shi Ci has stirrups on his feet, of course he will not be afraid of him, and he will also greet him with a lance, and the two weapons will knock each other again. Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this person turned sideways and exerted force, and he was not at all inferior to the frontal attack - he couldn't help but want to see if Lu Bu was also wearing stirrups, but just as he was fighting, if he made a mistake in his eyes, he might be able to lead to death, so he gritted his teeth and held back.

Of course, Lu Bu didn't have stirrups, but he was a native of the Jiuyuan border area of Bingzhou, with extraordinary talents, and he lived on horseback with the nearby Hu people since he was a child, so his equestrian skills were outstanding, and it was difficult for either Tai Shi Ci or Sun Ce to compare with him. For the ordinary people of the Central Plains, and even the vast majority of nomadic people, riding on stirrups and exerting force sideways, in order to maintain balance, the force is nearly half smaller than that of the front, but Lu Bu is basically unaffected.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Lu Bu thinks too highly of himself, although after entering Yanzhou, he accepted some Yanzhou soldiers and came into contact with stirrups, but he didn't think about matching himself and the cavalry of his headquarters at all - it is for soft eggs who are not used to riding horses, and we don't need it!

Tai Shi Ci originally wanted to use the power of the stirrups to find a gap to approach the side and make a side attack again, but when he put together this move, he knew that he had no chance at all. Even if the two sides face each other and work hard, even if he can gain the upper hand, he may not be able to push Lu Bu off the horse like he did when he beat Sun Ce.

The two horses staggered, each playing and circling, and in the blink of an eye, they exchanged four rounds in a row, and they were all stunned on both sides. Lu Buxin said that this is really a great general, no wonder he was able to assassinate Cheng Lian in two rounds, and he couldn't help but feel a little in love. He clung to a lance, but thirty percent of it was stabbed, and seventy percent was smashed, and he didn't plan to take Tai Shici's life just like that, he wanted to exhaust Tai Shici's strength first, so that he could be captured alive and taken as a subordinate.

But he played like this, Tai Shi Ci had to work harder. If you want to say that light is more martial arts, Tai Shici is not under Lu Bu; Compared with equestrianism, although Tai Shici is slightly inferior, after all, with the assistance of stirrups, he can barely pull a draw; But light is better than strength, and Tai Shici is not a child. After more than ten rounds of fighting like this, Taishi Ziyi felt that his arms were getting more and more sore, and even his waist was a little weak.

Seeing that the two horses were staggered again, each jumping out of more than 20 steps, Tai Shici held the lance with one hand and quietly gestured towards the city. Shi Xun saw it clearly in the city, and hurriedly ordered: "Mingjin!" ”

At the same time as the gong sounded, Tai Shici's three thousand soldiers lined up and trotted up, and at the same time, a few arrows were shot from behind the sheep and horse wall - although there were not many arrows, it was for fear of accidentally injuring the army, and this time the archers were all masters in the army, and almost every one of them came straight to the neck of the red horse. Lu Bu was forced to let go of one hand and pull the reins to help Chi Su dodge.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Gong hurriedly ordered Ming Jin. He said in his heart, General, come back quickly, you are too close to the enemy city, and you are really going to be surrounded by enemy troops, and we can't rescue you here. Lu Bu was still hesitating, so he heard Tai Shi Ci laugh: "Lu Bu of the state, but that's it!" Shi Shiran stepped across the drawbridge and returned to the city.

As soon as Tai Shici left, although Lu Bu was full of resentment, he also had to turn his horse and retreat. There are 3,000 enemy troops, and if they really want to surround them, he will ride alone after all, and it is not difficult to break through, and he really dare not guarantee the ticket if he is not injured at all - it is possible to take the head of the general in a million army, but the premise is that you must also have a few guards around you to help you make moves and cover your back.

As soon as they saw Lu Bu retreating, the three thousand soldiers stopped chasing, stopped, and turned back to the city.

Tai Shi Ci just returned to the city and threw away the horse lance, and said repeatedly: "Help me remove my armor." While rubbing his forearm desperately. Shixun ran down from the city and asked him, "How?" Tai Shi Ci smiled: "Lu Bu is really powerful, if it weren't for Hongfu and you Mingjin in time, lose this great opportunity, and fight for another three or five rounds, I will definitely lose." Shi Xun also smiled: "This is just right, a tie with Lu Bu will not demoralize, and Ziyi will also be famous all over the world." ”

Tai Shici said, I don't pursue anything to become famous in the world by single-handedness, after all, the battle is not fought alone. If I can defend Juancheng here, and even defeat Lu Bu, that is the record that a general should pursue.

He still wanted to kill Lu Bu for a while, but Lu Bu was unwilling to stay under Juancheng anymore, and under the persuasion of Chen Gong, he did not attack the city that day, and took advantage of the night that night to lead his troops to retreat.

At noon the next day, Cheng Li sent a letter to say that he had arrived in Fan County and persuaded Jin Yun to kill the commander sent by Zhang Miao to take over Fan City. In the next step, he planned to send troops to Qin Tingjin, so that Zhang Miao's troops could not cross the river.

Everyone was discussing in the hall, and they were all smiling, only Guo Jia frowned and stared at the map on the table, silent for a while. Xun Yu first found out that Guo Jia was wrong, but not only did he not ask him, but instead made a look at everyone, telling the big guy not to disturb him thinking for the time being. After a long while, Guo Jia raised his head.

Xun Yu asked him: "What do you think about Fengxiao?" Guo Jia still frowned, and replied slowly: "Under the city of Juancheng, when Cao Gong leads his troops back and crosses Jishui, he will only have to retreat to Dongjun, and then Ke'an is west of Jiyin." However, now that he has retreated without a fight, if he sticks to Dingtao and ranks south of Jishui, it will be difficult for Cao Gong to return, and the situation will be precarious. ”

Xun Yu asked him: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Guo Jia said: "There are two strategies. The first is to send a force to the south, detour from Shanyang County, cross Surabaya, and harass Lü Bu's army from the side, so that it cannot build a fortress and stand in battle safely, waiting for the return of Cao Gong. The second is to send a force to the north, join forces with Cheng Zhongde, cross the river at Qinting or Cangting, break Zhang Miao first, take Dongwuyang, relieve the worry of the back, and then Juancheng can attack Lu Bu with Cao Gong. ”

Ren Jun asked him: "What is the best strategy?" ”

Guo Jia said: "The key is to employ people. As he spoke, he turned to Tai Shi Ci: "To send troops from Juancheng, it is necessary for Tai Shi Jun to be a general, I don't know what strategy Tai Shi Jun is willing to do?" "What he means, I can still see both of these plans, so it depends on which strategy the leader has the deepest understanding and the most confidence, if the main general himself is not sure, and there is no idea of contingency, then a good plan must be bad.

Tai Shi Ci was silent, and after a while, he asked Xun Yu: "A certain first acquaintance with Cheng Zhongde, I don't know his superiority, does Xun Jun think he can fight the enemy Zhang Miao?" ”
