"Liu Bao?"

Xu Huang whispered the name, meditated for a moment, nodded and replied: "Yes, Liu Bao seems to be the son of Yu Fuluo, and Huang has heard about this person." ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Bu was noncommittal, he asked very abruptly, and now he didn't say much, everyone looked at each other, I don't know why he was alone in thinking about such a Hun who took the name of the Han people.

This matter is only clear to Lu Bu himself, he remembered that the famous beauty Cai Yan, after marrying into the Hedong Wei family, soon became a widow, his father Cai Yong was conquered by Dong Zhuo, came to Luoyang, Cai Yan also returned to Cai Yong's side, and later Dong Zhuo was killed, the Han court was in chaos again, Cai Yan was captured by the Huns and plundered out of the Sai, and was redeemed by Cao Cao after many years.

In later history, Cai Yan became the wife of this Liu Bao and gave birth to two sons for him.

This alone is enough for Lu Bu to put Liu Bao on the blacklist of must-kill in his mind, and then give a five-star sign, second only to Sima Yi's six stars.

"Newspaper~"

The herald dragged a long tail note, rushed in all the way, and said: "Captain Yudu, three thieves and messengers have been captured, claiming to be from Wenxi County. ”

"Oh?"

Lu Bu was very interested, and immediately ordered: "Bring it up." ”

The thief messenger was brought up, and when he saw Xu Huang standing with the officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but look suspicious.

The person who came was sent by Mrs. Guo, who was originally in Wenxi and Niu Fu for many days, and did not dare to attack the city on a large scale, and looted everywhere and got little, and now the grain and grass are approaching, it is to Xu Huang to send people to escort the grain and grass to the camp.

When Lu Bu heard the great joy, hahadaxiao: "It's another siege but not attack, it is said that they really act in tacit understanding, the black mountain thief Zhang Yan is in Huai County, and he is also besieged but not attacked, and now the white wave thief Guo Tai is also like this, it seems that they don't know that Zhang Yan has been killed by Lao Tzu and retreated back to Lugu Mountain." ”

Everyone is daxiao, Xu Huang only realized this when he took the battle last night, but unfortunately he had no time to send people to report at that time, so now Mrs. Guo still doesn't know the news of the defeat of the Black Mountain Thieves.

Xu Huang waited for the thief messenger to be escorted down, and offered a plan: "Captain, since this is the case, why don't you plan and the army pretend to escort grain and grass to kill them by surprise?" ”

This proposal, in fact, is quite attractive, caught off guard, and is a sneak attack after itself, it is indeed a great possibility, but it can defeat the white wave thieves and the Hun elite cavalry in one fell swoop. Even Cao He and Gao Shun nodded one after another, not to mention Hao Meng and Wei Xu.

Lu Bu took a deep breath, expelled this tempting proposal from his mind, shook his head, pointed to the location of Linfen on the map, and said: "A sneak attack from behind can indeed defeat the thieves in one fell swoop, but it is General Niu Zhonglang who can be ordered to recruit the Baibo thief, I am ordered to rush, and I still have to discuss with him." Or act according to the original Jihua, take Linfen, contact Anyi and Wenxi, each with a large army, front and back, and the thieves are afraid that they will collapse without a fight. ”

This operation jihua was actually formulated by Lu Bu and Jia Xu after consultation, and in addition to being safe, it also took into account factors other than military.

No matter how you say it, Lu Bu is all under the fence, unlike Niu Fu, who can get the unreserved trust of the Taiwei Dong Zhuo. If the credit for the conquest of the Black Mountain Thief and the White Wave Thief is taken by him, although it will not seem to be anything on the surface, it will inevitably make Niu Fu and the others unhappy, and also make Dong Zhuo suspicious.

Lu Bu had made up his mind, and the generals didn't discuss it anymore, and they agreed to do their separate things.

Cao Xing sent the scouts to make a detour to Anyi and Wenxi, and got in touch with Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were stationed in Anyi, and Niu Fu, who was stationed in Wenxi; Xu Huang's selected subordinates, pretending to be remnants, fled to Linfen, and waited for an opportunity to steal the city gate at night and take Linfen.

The Linfen guard general is Guo Tao, the younger brother of Guo Tai, who led an army of 5,000 and garrisoned Linfen, while Xu Huang is the general under Yang Feng, the marshal of the White Wave Thieves, who guards Jiangyi, which shows the importance of the status of these two cities in the minds of the White Wave Thieves.

Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Hao Meng led 5,000 soldiers to set off later, leaving Cao He and 3,000 soldiers to defend the city.

The 5,000 sharp soldiers were divided into two groups, Lu Bu and Hao Meng led 1,000 people to sneak to three miles outside Linfen City, and Gao Shun led the remaining 4,000 people to stay five miles outside Linfen City.

This is exactly the lesson that Lu Bu learned from the night battle in Jiangyi, when seizing the city gate, no matter how many troops there are, it will not be able to spread, but it will lead to chaos, and there are a thousand sharp soldiers to snatch the city gate, which is enough.

Marched overnight to the outside of Linfen City, and Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot as usual, waiting for Xu Huang's signal to seize the city. He was still lying on his back on the ground, leisurely driving Erlang's legs, looking up at the bright starry sky.

Now, he has added a lot of confidence to his grand plan of "wanting to change, being able to change" his fate.

Since the crossing, he has successfully put aside the charge of killing his father, which has greatly unloaded a heavy package in his heart, and besides, it was "Lu Bu" in this life who killed Ding Yuan, not him who came through the time, so in the bottom of his heart, he himself does not have any guilt.

Then, he led the army to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers and horses in Luoyang, subdued Jia Xu, conquered Zhang Yan, ran a long distance, captured Jiangyi at night, and subdued Xu Huang, so that he could add great confidence to himself out of thin air.

Now, this self-confidence, combined with his strong confidence in his own martial arts, has made his mind stronger than ever, believing that no matter how difficult and thorny the road ahead, he is confident that he can go all the way.

As a result, in the starry night sky, Dong Zhuo's sturdy body emerged, which was the next peak he wanted to climb and the opponent he wanted to defeat.

Only by defeating Dong Zhuo can he be regarded as completing his transformation and having the qualifications to compete with the crowd.

But what he lacks now is what Dong Zhuo has now, which is the overall situation, or the ability to plan.

In the previous successes, he still consciously or unconsciously regarded himself as a chess piece, even if it is the most powerful chess piece, after all, it is still a chess piece, all he has to do is to grow up as much as he can, position himself in the position of a chess player, and look at the battle of the world from the height of surpassing the entire chess game.

This is not a problem that can be solved by having the advantage of a prophet and rich experience through the crowd, but it can only be improved by years of trial and error, plus blood lessons, and one's own understanding.

But fortunately, he has just begun, and he still has enough time to learn, to improve, and to establish a set of team, and use collective wisdom to dominate the world.

Even the heroic Wei Wu Cao Cao, isn't he a rookie now, since the beginning of the army, he has also suffered repeated defeats, and then gradually grow, and finally established a powerful Cao Wei group.

And Liu Bei, the hero, now has no foundation except for Guan and Zhang.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt that he was lucky enough, the starting point was at least much higher than that of other heroes, and the start was a lot earlier.

"Captain!"

Lu Bu heard Hao Meng beside him whisper softly, replied slightly, and heard him whisper: "Xu Huang has been gone for so long, and there is no movement at the city gate now, is he reliable?" ”

All around were soldiers huddled together, snoring one after another, and everyone was hurrying to rest.

After a long journey, there were two consecutive overnight battles, and even Lu Bu felt very tired. At this moment, after listening to Hao Meng's words, he replied in a low voice without looking back: "Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people, in this case, don't say it a second time." Don't worry, you're just impatient to wait, so you're just thinking about it all the time. Hold your breath and calm down, as a general, if you don't even have such a little psychological literacy, it will be difficult for you to make any more progress. ”

Hao Meng ate Lu Bu's reprimand and agreed repeatedly. As for whether he really heard it in his heart, and whether he could reflect on it, Lu Bu didn't care, let alone force it.

Anyway, he made up his mind, for Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, he would use it, but he wouldn't use it much, let alone let them take on the important ministry of being in charge, put it by his side, let them feel that they value them, and occasionally listen to their sycophants, it is enough.

Not long after, Hao Meng's voice sounded again, only this time, there was more surprise and excitement.

"Captain, there's movement at the city gate!"
