Li Su's questioning could be heard by anyone, and he was not blaming Lu Bu, but agreeing.

Lu Bu's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he replied frankly: "There are two reasons. First, Yuan Shu is just right, Sun Jian is brave and resolute, ruthless, as Changsha Taishou, but he dares to cross the border to raise troops, this time he led the army to come, forced Jingzhou Mu Wang Rui to death, and killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, which shows its ruthlessness; Second, the Kwantung rebels are mostly newly recruited recruits, with chaotic banners, and they are really a rabble, but Sun Jian's command is different, and they are all arrogant soldiers. Therefore, among the four rebels, Bu thought that Sun Jian was the biggest threat to Luoyang on this road. ”

This reason is very strong and reasonable, everyone pondered, and after a while, Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other, nodded and responded: "Well, Feng Xian's words are very true, even so, I should do my best to do the elite of all departments, go out of Yique Pass, and take the initiative to attack, even if Sun Jian is a tiger who can eat people, I will beat him into a crippled cat!" ”

Everyone is hahadaxiao, Li Dao's words show his true colors as a vulgar martial artist, but those present are either from Xiliang, who was born in a poor family, or from the avoidant Bingzhou, in the eyes of the Central Plains scholars, they are all out-and-out vulgar martial artists, this evaluation, even if Li Dao and other people are now leaning towards the government and the opposition, they still can't get rid of it.

Guo Tai took a step forward at this time and said in a loud voice: "The general of the chariot cavalry is high, and the rebel soldiers are divided into four routes, which seems to be huge, but the troops are scattered, which is a taboo for soldiers. At this time, we will join forces in one place, concentrate the elite, cut off one finger, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and boost the morale of our army, which is wonderful! ”

The four people who controlled the government and government now had the same opinion, and of course this matter was finalized in this way, and after discussing for a while, it was determined that the cavalry general Li Dao and the Wei general Guo Tai would personally command the army to attack, leaving the former general Li Su and the later general Guo Yan to guard Luoyang, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Ma Chao, and the three of them all led their troops to accompany the expedition, and the total number of troops gathered was as many as 20,000 people, and the elite cavalry accounted for a small half, which was 7,000.

What's more, the 20,000 soldiers and horses, Guo Tai and Zhang Xiu's infantry soldiers, regardless of their combat strength for the time being, Li Dao, Ma Chao and Lu Bu are all elite soldiers in Xiliang and Bingzhou, but they are definitely only higher than the combat power of Jiangdong Erlang under Sun Jian.

When Lu Bu stepped out of the general's mansion, he was secretly proud, very happy, and secretly begged in his heart: "Sun Jian, even if you are really a Jiangdong tiger, you will become a crippled cat if you don't die this time!" ”

The decision was issued, and early the next morning, the army immediately marched, crossed Luoshui from Luoyang Nanchengguo, went up against Yishui, crossed Yique Pass, and went straight to Liang County.

Liang County is the southernmost county seat of Yin, Henan, located on the bank of the Rushui River, across Huoyang Mountain, that is, Luyang, Nanyang County, Jingzhou. And if you really want to come to Luyang City, you have to follow the flat Rushui River Valley, cross the west forty miles of Jiaxian County, Yingchuan County, and make a big bend.

Lu Bu served as the vanguard officer, and the deputy vanguard was the young general Jin Ma Chao, six thousand elite horsemen roared through Yique Pass, along the way, the scout scout went out of the army for fifty miles, and did not find the clues of Sun Jian's department until he entered Liang County, and only found out that Sun Jian was still in Luyang to reorganize the soldiers and horses.

The night was dark, the army settled down, Liang County was calm from the noise, although it was mid-spring February, the spring breeze with a slight spring, but still very cold, Lu Bu followed by Song Xian and Hou Cheng, as well as several personal soldiers, in the barracks around the circle, still no sleep, simply walked up the road, climbed the city wall.

The city wall of Liang County is only three zhang high, belongs to the list of the rules, neither out of line, nor shabby, here is very close to the imperial capital Luoyang, it is safe, the city wall wants to be built more qualified, no one has the courage to do this; It is located in the Rushui River Valley, the land is fertile, and it is a necessary road from Nanyang and Yingchuan to Luoyang, there are many business travelers, and the city wall wants to be built shabby, and no one agrees.

Lu Bu stood on the tower of the city gate, holding the arrow stack in his hand, looking ahead.

Directly in front of you, there is the Rushui River Valley, which is full of fertile fields, and on the right hand, the outlines of the mountains are faint in the moonlight, like sleeping giant beasts.

However, Lu Bu knew that Sun Jian, who was just across the mountains and entrenched in Luyang, was the real monster.

In the night sky, a bright moon is like a disc missing a corner, swaying with endless brilliance, and the surrounding stars have lost their original brilliance, and only on the periphery of the full moon do the stars gradually emerge until they are bright again.

The same beautiful scenery was imprinted in the eyes of Sun Jian, who had passed the age of standing, but what he saw was heavy.

In just a few months, the Han Empire, once strong enough to expel the Huns, the overlord of the grasslands, even the imperial capital fell into blood and fire.

This made Sun Jian extremely angry, but his anger couldn't find catharsis, could he blame the dead saint? Can you blame the Son of Heaven who ascended the throne of God?

Now, a piece of paper from Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde has finally allowed him to find an outlet to vent his anger, and Yuan Highway's support and support have given him the ability to vent his anger on the damned Xiliang people.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian's conscious exhaled snort was filled with indescribable scorching.

Under the city wall behind him, a rush of footsteps sounded, rushing towards the city wall, without looking back, the image of the person who was automatically sketched in Sun Jian's mind was the veteran Huang Gai under the tent.

Huang Gai is a few years older than Sun Jian, and he has reached the age of no confusion, but what is even more peculiar is that his full head of white hair, even the full jaw and thick beard are all white.

Fortunately, his face hinted that he was not a drooping old man, although he was dark and rough because of his long years of hard work, but at a glance he was still full of vitality, not as loose and gloomy as an old man.

But under Sun Jian's account, he was called a veteran by everyone, which was originally a well-intentioned joke, but as Sun Jian also called him so, he gradually became an honorific title for Huang Gai.

Under the moonlight, the sound of footsteps is like a heavy hammer that is intensively knocked on the city wall, the veteran Huang Gai seems to be just stepping in, but the speed is no slower than trotting all the way, under the majestic body, every step of the long and strong legs is worth almost two steps of ordinary people.

"Envoy! Emergency military intelligence! ”

As soon as Huang Gai approached, he lowered his voice and shouted, but his voice was already very loud, and he was full of energy, and his low voice was extremely loud in the silent moonlight.

Sun Jian was unmoved, and slowly turned around, just at the moment when Huang Gai stopped, he was facing him head-on.

"Envoy, the vanguard of the army sent by Luoyang has arrived in Liang County."

"Oh?!"

Sun Jian was slightly moved, what surprised him was not that Li Dao's army had arrived, but that Luoyang's reaction was much faster than he expected.

After such a gallop, Huang Gai didn't even breathe, and continued directly: "The vanguard is all cavalry, and the banners say "Lu" and "Horse" respectively. ”

"Lu? Horse? Lu Bu, Ma Teng? ”

Sun Jian exclaimed in a low voice this time, combined with the sentence that the vanguard army was full of cavalry, he instantly judged that it was the elite cavalry under the command of Lu Bu and Xiliang Ma Teng of Bingzhou.

"Carefully report, the two people who lead the army are very young, especially the person surnamed Mana, who is ...... and not yet an adult!"

Huang Gaiyu reported here, and he no longer remained calm, not that he was sensitive to the age of the enemy's commander, but that he felt that it was too insulting to send two stinky boys over.

This time, Sun Jian pondered for a moment, but he still didn't guess who the minor surnamed Ma was, he could only guess that it should be Xiliang Ma Teng's son and nephew.

Not long after pondering, Sun Jian's face sank, and he ordered: "The herald army will start tomorrow, and Sun will go to Huihui and Xiliang Jingqi!" ”

This is said very plainly, but a monstrous momentum and boundless self-confidence permeated from Sun Jian, making people firmly believe that what he said was not a casual lie, but a heroic mantra.

Early the next morning, 30,000 troops rushed out from the gate of Luyang, bypassed a mountain col, and poured into the Rushui River valley of Yima Pingchuan, like a gray-brown torrent, going up against the Rushui.

In the early afternoon, Lu Bu and Ma Chao, who were stationed in Liang County, had already learned that Sun Jian's army was coming, and late at night, they did not wait for the news of the arrival of Li Ji's army, but received Li Ji's military order.

The military order is extremely simple, so simple that there are only two words: retreat!
