Chapter 504: Ambush in advance

In the Luoyang military camp, groups of Luoyang officers and soldiers were busy working around more than ten huge wooden frames.

With the sound of "ping pong", huge wooden frames were erected under the construction of Luoyang officers and soldiers.

Standing under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the wooden frame being built not far away, and Pang led Guan Yu to come behind him.

Standing behind Liu Bian, Pang Tong and Guan Yu clasped their fists and bowed, bowed to his back, and Pang Tong said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, General Guan is here!" ”

Hearing Pang Tong speak, Liu Wei turned his head and looked at Guan Yu from head to toe.

is not quite the same as the image of Guan Yu that Liu Wei had appeared in his mind in the past, Guan Yu standing in front of Liu Wei was wearing a dark green robe and a slightly old leather armor, although he was quite tall, he looked much thinner than Dian Wei and others.

Guan Yu's cheeks were flushed, but it was not the kind of smooth ruddy, but there was a slight blackness in the red.

Although he is not very strong, Guan Yu has a big square face, which somewhat makes up for some of his physical defects.

Holding his fists, he bowed down and stood in front of Liu Wei, and because he held it up with both hands, Guan Yu's sleeves were slightly raised, revealing a small section of his arm.

This small section of the arm muscles is very strong, giving people a very strong feeling.

looked at Guan Yu from head to toe, and the Guan Yu in front of him made Liu Wei feel a little disappointed in his heart. However, he still nodded, and said to Guan Yu with a slight smile: "General Guan has led the army to fight with Gongsun Zan for days, and the hard work is high, and this king is grateful!" ”

"As a Han Chen, and my brother Liu Xuande is the King of Zhongshan Jing, we should have helped the Han family!" Standing in front of Liu Wei with his fists clenched, Guan Yu said loudly to Liu Wei: "Before the last general set out for the battle, my brother had a word for the last general. But if His Highness has an order, the last general will move forward with all his might! ”

"Xuande and this king are the same sect, and they will support each other in the future!" With a smile on his face, he nodded to Guan Yu, Liu Wei turned his head and said to the generals standing behind him: "The generals will return to the tent with this king to speak!" ”

"No!" The generals who followed Liu Wei to stand under the banner of the Chinese army marshal all bowed down with their fists, answered, and followed Liu Wei towards the Chinese army marshal's tent.

After entering the tent, Liu Wei sat down on the main seat, and Pang Tong and all the generals who entered the tent with him also sat down in turn.

Since Guan Yu was a general under Liu Bei and had no seats in the tent, Liu Wei ordered someone to deliberately spread a straw mat in the middle of the tent and asked Guan Yu to sit on the straw mat.

"Strategist!" When everyone sat down, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Pang Tong, who was sitting under his left hand, and asked Pang Tong: "Our army has been besieging the city for several days, and this king is here, and the siege of the city will begin." The military adviser thinks that what should our army do, is it appropriate? ”

"Your Highness!" Liu Bian asked, Pang Tong raised his fists, owed to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Our army has besieged the city for several days, and the defenders in the city are short of food and grass at the moment. His Royal Highness ordered the Yuan brothers to lead the army eastward, and the comparison between the strength of our army and the defenders in the city has changed greatly. Our army is insufficient, it is difficult to surround the city like an iron barrel, if the subordinate is Gongsun Zhan, he must take the opportunity to lead the army to break through and storm the city, it is really the next policy! ”

"What did the advisor say?" Lu Bu, who had previously obtained Liu Bian's promise that he would lead his troops to attack during the siege, heard Pang Tong's words, worried that a credit that was about to arrive would fly again, and without waiting for Liu Biao to express his position, he got up and stood up, strode to the middle of the handsome tent, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Biao and said: "The food and grass in the city are not enough, and the morale of the enemy army is low. ”

Kneeling behind the low table, Liu Wei raised his arms and pressed Lu Bu twice, with an indifferent smile on his face, and said to Lu Bu: "Don't worry, this siege will be up to you to be the vanguard!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Originally, he was worried that Mo was going to lose his credit, but when he heard Liu Wei say this, Lu Bu suddenly felt at ease, hurriedly thanked him, retreated back to his seat, and sat down again.

"What the military advisor said is very true!" When Lu Bu sat down, Liu Wei looked around at the crowd and said to them: "Our army has always avoided strong attacks by attacking the city and plundering the land, but now that the Jizhou army is advancing eastward, our army does not have too many advantages in numbers compared with the enemy army in the city. If it is a strong attack, the enemy will defend to the death, even if the city is broken, the casualties will definitely be heavy! ”

When Liu Wei said this, everyone in the tent already knew that the catapult that the Luoyang army was building at the moment was probably just a cover, and the storming of the city would not happen at all.

Kneeling in the tent, everyone straightened their waists, looked at Liu Wei without blinking, and waited quietly for him to finish speaking.

"What's the matter with the military advisor?" After looking around at the crowd, Liu Wei's gaze finally stayed on Pang Tong's face, and asked Pang Tong: "From the perspective of the military advisor, when will Gongsun Chan lead the army out of the city?" ”

Almost all the generals of the Luoyang Army followed Liu Wei into the tent, and there were only two people who did not enter the account with him.

These two people were Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were almost killed by Lu Bu in Dangcheng.

While Liu Wei and the others were discussing the military plane in the tent, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were sitting in an open space quite far away from the tent.

"General Gao, I'm afraid you and I won't have a chance to make contributions this time!" With his arms around his knees, Zhang Liao looked at the city wall in the distance, and said to Gao Shun in a somewhat lonely tone: "Wen Hou led the army to attack the city, if the two of us accompany me, I am afraid that even if we are not killed by the enemy, we will die at the hands of Wen Hou!" ”

"yes!" Also looking at the city wall in the distance, Gao Shun nodded, sighed lightly, and did not speak again.

The expression on his face was as lonely as Zhang Liao. Since he joined Liu Wei, he and Zhang Liao have undertaken the task of training Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei.

Although it is said that the training of the second guard soldiers, Gao Shun is tailor-made, and has specially created different training methods for Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei. But because the time is too short, the training effect of the second guard horse is not obvious, and there is a siege battle at the moment, seeing that they can take credit, but because of the existence of Lu Bu, they can't ask Liu Wei for battle, and they can't help but be bored in their hearts.

Following the gathering of Liu Bi and the main force of the Luoyang Army, the two deliberately kept a considerable distance from Lu Bu under Liu Bi's arrangement to avoid Lu Bu from embarrassing them.

"Why are the two generals in a daze?" Just as they were looking at the city wall in the distance with a depressed heart, a familiar voice came from behind Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

Hearing this voice, the two hurriedly turned their heads and looked behind them, and what they saw was Deng Zhan in military uniform, walking towards them with a smile on his face.

"General Deng!" Seeing Deng Zhan, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun hurriedly stood up and arched towards Deng Zhan with their fists.

Deng Zhan also raised his fists and arched at the two, with a smile on his face, and asked the two, "Why are the two generals here?" Why didn't you go to the tent? ”

The two of them were upset because they couldn't participate in the siege, and when they heard Deng Zhan ask, they all sighed, and Zhang Liao said to Deng Zhan: "The general is not unaware, the two of us were originally military generals in front of Wen Hou, and now although they have served His Royal Highness, they can meet Wen Hou face to face, after all, it is embarrassing!" ”

"That's just as well!" Deng Zhan, who knew that Lu Bu almost killed the two of them that day, nodded after listening to Zhang Liao's words, and said with relief: "The two generals are dragons and phoenixes among people, don't be depressed because you lost a small achievement." His Royal Highness has recruited two of them, and he will definitely use them again in the future! ”

"What the general said is very true!" Although the look on their faces was still a little lonely, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun agreed with what Deng Zhan said.

While the servants were talking, Zhang Liao turned his head, and inadvertently saw that the curtain of the tent of the commander of the Chinese army in the distance was lifted, and Lu Bu and others were walking out of the tent one after another.

Seeing Lu Bu, Zhang Liao hurriedly tilted his head to the side and stopped looking at the tent of the Chinese army commander.

Lu Bu, who had just been appointed by Liu Wei and had won the main attack task, came out of the handsome tent with a spring breeze on his face, and was about to go to his military camp, when he accidentally turned his head and happened to see Deng Zhan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun who were standing a little farther away.

Seeing Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Lu Bu's brows tightened, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched violently twice.

Twisting his brows and staring at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun for a while, Lu Bu let out a soft snort, turned his head and walked quickly towards his military camp.

In the tent, Liu Wei, who had arranged tasks for the generals, left Pang Tong and Guan Yu in the tent when everyone left.

After everyone left the tent, Liu Wei looked at Guan Yu, who was kneeling four or five steps away from him, smiled slightly, and said to Guan Yu: "This king invited the general to come, only because of this attack on Gongsun Zhan, if you want to completely defeat the thief army, you must rely on the general!" ”

"Your Highness just commands!" When Liu Biao assigned the task to the generals, he did not arrange Guan Yu's duties, and when he heard Liu Biao say this, Guan Yu knew that Liu Bian was going to arrange things for him, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed to answer: "But if His Royal Highness has an order, the last general will be crushed to pieces, and he will not hesitate to do anything!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Wei nodded first, then turned his head to look at Pang Tong on the side, and said to Pang Tong: "Where does the military advisor think General Guan is guarding, and he can get the head of Gongsun Zhan?" ”

"Chengbei!" As soon as Liu Wei's question was asked, Pang Tong smiled slightly, looked directly at Guan Yu with both eyes, and said to him: "The main force of our army is stationed in the south and west of the city, and Gongsun Zan will definitely not choose these two gates when he goes out of the city." If it is an ordinary expectation, once Gongsun Chan breaks through, he will definitely come out of the east gate. But Gongsun Zhan is cunning and cunning, knowing that the Jizhou army is advancing to the east, and will never risk following the Jizhou army, so that only the north gate gate will be wide open......"

"What do you mean by ......?" After listening to Pang Tong's words, Guan Yu's brows furrowed slightly, looked at Pang Tong, and asked him, "Do you want the last general to lead the army to block the north gate?" ”

"Not really!" Pang Tong smiled and waved his hand, first glanced at Liu Wei, then looked at Guan Yu, and said to him: "The general will lead the army to the east early tomorrow morning, stay ten miles away from the city, and then turn north, find an ambush in the north of Zhuo County, and wait until Gongsun Zan passes by, take advantage of the situation to kill, and capture him in one fell swoop!" ”
