Lu Bu was taken aback, and with a wave of his hand, his guards scattered around, acting as a human wall.

However, after listening to the report, Lu Bu grinned happily, and his heart was secretly refreshed: "Damn, won't it, Zhang Yan, this kid, is so cooperative with Lao Tzu's bandit work?" ”

However, it turned out that Zhang Yan led his troops out of Lugut Mountain, and even broke the three cities of Gongxian, Huojia and Xiuwu, and the army was already approaching Huaixian.

Needless to say, the Black Mountain thieves can break through the three cities with less than 30,000 men and horses, and the iron must be done by combining the inside and the outside, otherwise, with such a small number of troops, if they attack strongly, they will not even be able to climb the city wall, let alone break the city.

Hurried back to the barracks, Lu Bu immediately ordered, the army immediately marched to Huaixian, and the messenger set off one step earlier, ordering Zhang Yang to lead his troops to defend Huaixian and wait for reinforcements.

The army reversed its previous slowness, nearly a hundred miles away, Lu Bu still controlled the speed, and it took two days to set up a large camp ten miles outside Huaixian County.

The Black Mountain thieves have besieged Huai County for two days, and when they saw the arrival of the imperial army, they immediately changed from the original loose siege on three sides to gather outside the northern city, and confronted the defenders in the city and Lu Bu's army across the Huai County City.

Lu Bu led a group of subordinates, and ran to the front three miles of the Black Mountain Thief Camp without any scruples, just like visiting his own back garden, pointing at the Black Mountain Thief Camp, and couldn't help but react to the Black Mountain Thief: "The imperial army has arrived, and the thieves are still staying here and not leaving, do you still want to wait to catch two sweet dates to eat?" ”

Everyone was daxiao, especially Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who were even more smiling and leaning forward and backward on horseback, as if they had heard the funniest thing in the world.

Dudu Jia Xu touched the half-length beard that had thinned a lot under his chin, and said slowly: "They, I'm afraid they're just waiting for the news of the White Wave Thief." ”

"Huh?"

Not only Lu Bu was moved, but also Zhang Liao and Cao Xing, and they all immediately heard the sound outside the strings.

"What does Lord Bo mean that the Black Mountain thieves don't know the news that Li Le has been slaughtered? It shouldn't be."

Lu Bu groaned, defeated the white wave thief Li Lebu in Yi County, although it is true that few people have escaped the net, but after the war, he killed people with such fanfare, and the title of "brutal butcher who kills without blinking", but he can inquire wherever he goes.

To say that when the Black Mountain thieves killed Xiang Huaixian, they hadn't heard of this stubble, and Lu Bu was really a little incomprehensible.

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, and then looked at the suspicious people around him, the old god with a face was there, and replied confidently: "In the battle of Yixian, it is not difficult for the Black Mountain thieves to receive the news, but the Black Mountain thieves are still raising troops and besieging Huai County, what they have to wait for is, of course, the news of the White Wave thieves who attacked Hedong County."

Saying this, Lu Bu immediately understood, and couldn't help but praise a few words in his heart: "High, really high." ”

He praised Jia Xu for coming, and based on this sentence alone, he immediately understood that although he had insight beyond the times and more than 2,000 years of experience and lessons, he was still more than a little bit worse than a top strategist like Jia Xu.

The white wave thieves attacked Hedong, and the black mountain thieves attacked Hanoi, of course, this is not a coincidence, but a long-planned joint action, and the timing is also very appropriate, it is the time when Liu Hong, the son of heaven of the Han Empire, died and the new monarch was just established. At this time, once the imperial court can't deal with it, and the news spreads to other states and counties, I am afraid that it will immediately greatly encourage the Yellow Turban remnants, jump out and make waves, and even reproduce the momentum of the Yellow Turban army sweeping the world back then, it is not impossible.

The Black Mountain thieves have already connected the three cities, and the momentum has been out, if the white wave thieves in Hedong County can also make such a momentum, then needless to say, their goal has been achieved, they only need to confront the imperial army, but if the white wave thieves in Hedong County have died down, the Black Mountain thieves will definitely retreat back into the Lugu Mountain immediately, anyway, the benefits they have obtained now are enough.

Jia Xu analyzed this, and everyone immediately understood, to put it bluntly, Zhang Yan, the head of the Black Mountain thief, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, eating from the bowl, still thinking about the pot, and at the same time thinking about finding a way out, so as not to be caught.

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, looked at Jia Xu, and asked convincingly: "What does the master mean that you can do something here?" ”

"Of course!"

Jia Xu smiled very gently, and nodded again and again, "In the hands of the captain, aren't there so many white wave thieves, pick a clever one to come out and send it to the Black Mountain thief camp to deliver a letter."

The idea was Jia Xu's idea, Lu Bu simply handed over this errand to him to be fully responsible, and at night, after watching Jia Xu's entire deployment, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart, both happy and vigilant.

Fortunately, it was he who made the first move and hugged Jia Xu under his account, this guy is worthy of the title of "poisoner", and if he casually brings an idea out, he can harm a large area, if he seriously comes up with an idea, it will definitely be the level of disaster to the country and the people.

But isn't it, Lu Bu remembers very clearly, just after Dong Zhuo's death, this "Lu Bu" and Situ Wang Yun, the small universe expanded, and hated the Xiliang people to death, and the cowhide coaxed to punish Dong Zhuo and the rest of the party, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Liangzhou generals had no clue, ready to dismiss their subordinates, and fled separately, at this time, it was this Jia Xu who inadvertently came up with an idea and encouraged everyone to join forces to attack Chang'an.

As a result, the city of Chang'an was broken, "Lu Bu" fled east with the remnants of the army in a panic, Situ Wang Yun died, and the dignified court of the Han Empire became the forbidden arm of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they played for a while.

When he was under Zhang Xiu's tent, he came up with an idea and almost took Cao Cao's life; When he was thrown into Cao Cao's command, with a few fluttering strokes, he successfully separated Ma Chao and Han Sui, causing Ma Chao's family to be ruined, fleeing into Shuzhong, and becoming Liu Daer's subordinate.

As soon as he made a move this time, Lu Bu immediately got a glimpse of his energy, and calculated that Zhang Yanlai, the head of the Black Mountain thief, was really linked one by one, and he didn't worry that Zhang Yan would not cooperate.

Awakening, it is Lu Bu reminding himself that the cattle of this era are really not good at stubble, or he is himself, just by memory, he knows that although this "Lu Bu" has always adhered to the creed of "big fist is the last word", but it is not so good for nothing except martial arts described in the history books of later generations, but also has his own cunning and strengths, like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others who will definitely become opponents for hegemony in the future, and it is impossible to get along well.

Vigilance, there is another layer of meaning, by watching Jia Xu's deployment, he found that Jia Xu paid great attention to some details, and responded accordingly. For example, Zhang Yan may send his own people to Hedong to inquire about the news, whether he will know someone among the White Wave Thieves, and so on.

The news of the war in Hedong County, which was reported to Zhang Yan, was processed to a certain extent on the basis of the military information transferred from Luoyang, with only one purpose, to let Zhang Yan stay stupidly here in Huai County, so as to facilitate the layout later.

Three days later, this "lucky man" who was picked out left the camp with confidence, first went up against the Qinshui, made a big circle, and then returned to the black mountain thief camp in the northeast of Huai County.

That night, Zhang Liaosuo led the light cavalry also quietly set off, went southeast, and then went down the big river, day and night, waiting for the opportunity to cross the Qinshui and enter the Wude City downstream to standby.

Sending Zhang Liao away, Lü Bu sent the generals away, leaving Jia Xu alone to discuss in the Chinese army's big tent.

In view of Jia Xu's current special status, in public, Lu Bu calls him "Master Bo", and when there are only two people in private, he directly calls him "Mr." as a sign of respect.

What Lu Bu is most concerned about now is when to do it, Jia Xu smiled slightly, pointed his finger to the west, and replied: "The day the dust settles in Hedong is the time to do it." ”

This is consistent with what Lu Bu expected, the progress of the war in Hedong County, Lu Bu can only know through Luoyang, but the messengers are all several times a day, and they are all fast, so they must be the fastest to learn.

Just as Lu Bu nodded, Jia Xu asked softly: "What is the plan for the Black Mountain Thief?" Fight and dial it, or"

Lu Bu shook his head and replied very frankly: "No, give them a ruthless blow, it's fine, keep them, it will be of great use in the future." ”

Seeing Jia Xu's blazing eyes, Lu Bu smiled and explained: "Sir, you should remember what Ribu said, on the night when Dong Gong raised troops in Luoyang, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers of the old Yuan family, as well as Shangshu Lu Zhi and others who offended Dong Gong, all fled overnight, how could they, the scholars, let Dong Gong control the government, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will raise troops, what the situation was at that time, Mr. can imagine." ”

Jia Xu's face was calm, showing that he had considered this situation since Lu Bu forced him to be loyal.

Lu Bu stood up, paced back and forth in the big tent, took a few deep breaths, and then came to sit down in front of Jia Xu's case, and sighed in a low voice: "At that time, no matter who wins or loses, the world will definitely be troubled from now on, sir, do you think so?" ”
