Chapter Forty-Seven: The Two Heroes (I)
Lu Bu didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would suddenly decide to move the capital.
The situation looks pretty good!
The coalition forces seem to be strong, but in fact they are strong on the outside and capable in the middle, and they cannot succeed at all.
Even if Lu Bu is not proficient in political affairs, he can see that the princes have their own thoughts, but in fact they are not united. Everyone has their own little abacus, you want to annex me, I want to preserve my strength, in short, they are restrained by each other, and it is intrigue.
The war in Tiger Prison is difficult, but it is not impossible to persevere.
Moreover, although Xingyang lost a general, it was fruitful.
Not to mention anything else, just that Yingchuan guards Li Min too much, which is enough to make Lu Bu feel red.
You must know that Lu Bu is extremely strong, but until now, he has not been able to capture a prince alive. However, Xingyang did it, and it was done after Huaxiong was killed, which highlights the hard-won result of this battle......
Ding Chen!
This guy who was saved because of his kindness at the beginning, unexpectedly burst out with such an ability under such circumstances.
To be honest, Lu Bu was jealous!
He didn't want to retreat, or he didn't want to be compared to Ding Chen.
However, Dong Zhuo's order has been conveyed, even if the general is not subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, in the general direction, Lu Bu still does not dare to disobey.
"Wen Hou, in fact, you don't have to be so depressed."
The subordinate general Hao Meng came over and said softly: "I know that Wen Hou does not want to weaken his reputation, and it is indeed a little embarrassing to evacuate like this." ”
"Is it disobedient?"
"Disobedience? But never. ”
Hao Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said softly: "This is a major matter, Wen Hou must not go against the wind, otherwise he will be blamed by the prime minister." In the end, there is a plan, and it is impossible to share the worries of Wen Hou. Wen Hou retreated this time, thinking that the princes would not give up. In that case, why didn't Marquis Wen make a big fuss about the movement, let those princes be aware, and then lead his troops to pursue us? ”
"What do you mean?"
Lu Bu's eyebrows moved, and he faintly understood Hao Meng's thoughts.
"Forty miles southwest of Tiger Prison Pass, it is ten miles away.
It is adjacent to Bianshui and has flat terrain, which is most suitable for riding battles. Wenhou cavalry battle, unparalleled in the world, why not lay an ambush in ten miles, and then ambush the pursuers? Shilipu is the only way to go from Tiger Prison Pass to Revolving Gate Pass, if Wen Hou wins, it can also make Ding Chen of the Revolving Gate Pass dare not underestimate him. ”
The destination of Lu Bu's retreat was also the Turns-Gate Pass.
Of course, he knew that he would be stationed at the revolving gate with Ding Chen next.
Ding Chen's force is not bad, of course Lu Bu knows it.
He had fought with Ding Chen at the beginning, so he also knew Ding Chen's depth.
The most important thing is that Ding Chen first had three battles and three victories in Hucheng Pavilion in Xingyang, although he was not guaranteed in the late season, was pursued by Cao Cao, and suffered heavy losses, it was still a great achievement. After the Battle of Xingyang, Li Min was captured and 8,000 Yingchuan soldiers were defeated...... This credit is not high. Since the princes fought against Dong, the great wars have continued one after another, but only Ding Chen has built this miraculous feat.
Therefore, Lu Bu was also worried that he couldn't suppress Ding Chen.
Today's Ding Chen is not the lost dog he persecuted outside Cao's Mansion at the beginning.
He has been valued by Dong Zhuo, and to a certain extent, Ding Chen is no longer someone he can bully at will.
Of course, Lu Bu also knew Hao Meng's idea, and he had ulterior motives.
At the beginning of the Cao Mansion, Ding Chen killed his nephew, which made Hao Meng unforgettable.
It's just that now Hao Meng doesn't dare to easily find trouble with Ding Chen, so he wants to borrow Lu Bu's hand to suppress Ding Chen's momentum.
How could Lu Bu not know about his selfishness.
However, he was still willing to listen to Hao Meng's strategy, because he didn't want to weaken his momentum in front of Ding Chen.
And it's a good strategy, isn't it?
Lu Bu had full confidence in himself, and in his eyes, the princes of the coalition army were nothing more than a rabble, and if they dared to pursue, they would definitely look good.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu made up his mind: "According to what you said, let's lay an ambush in ten miles!" ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gongsun Chan almost poured out of the nest.
The 3,000 cavalry army swept into the Tiger Prison Pass and pursued in the direction of Lu Bu's retreat.
Liu Bei and the three were also in the team.
Zhang Fei looked very excited, and grinned: "Brother don't worry, since Lu Bu has been defeated, he will definitely panic at this moment." The three surnamed slaves, a certain family has long looked at him unpleasantly. He ran away last time, and he will never let him go again this time. ”
Liu Bei did not show a look of relief because of this.
"Yide, don't be careless, that Lu Bu is the tiger of the world, and he can't be underestimated.
And although we defeated it last time, we had a lot of luck in it. He has countless fierce generals under his command, and it is not idle, you and I are still cautious. To be honest, I didn't want to pursue this time, but Bo Jue had already made up his mind, and it was hard for me to refuse.
If something happens later, let's not attack recklessly, look at my eyes, and wait for the opportunity to move. ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he showed dissatisfaction.
Just didn't wait for him to speak, he heard Guan Yu say: "Yide, what my brother said is extremely true, let's be cautious."
But brother, why bother to grow the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of his own family? Although Lu Bu was brave, Guan was not afraid and decided to take his head. ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
His two righteous brothers, if you want to say good, it's really good!
Thinking that when they joined the army in Youzhou, he and Guan Yu had no long things, not even horses and weapons.
Zhang Fei is indeed a big family in Zhuo County, although he started by killing pigs, his family is wealthy and has quite assets, and his situation is a hundred times stronger than them. However, after deciding to join the army, he scattered all his family wealth and helped Liu Bei and Guan Yu to equip their armor and weapons.
Along the way, he was even more obedient to him.
The only bad thing is that you are reckless and impulsive.
Once that reckless temper kicks in, even Liu Bei will feel a headache.
The second brother Guan Yu is better, but he is arrogant and arrogant, and no one pays attention to him...... I hope nothing happens.
Just when Liu Bei was thinking about it, a young white horse general came closer.
"Duke Xuande, the lord is looking for you."
This young general is the white horse righteous servant next to Gongsun Zhan.
Liu Bei nodded hurriedly, urged the horse to follow him, and soon caught up with Gongsun Zhan.
"Xuande, the horse has returned, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses have been found."
"Where?"
"It's ahead, ten miles to rest."
"Is there an ambush?"
"Hehe, he's running away in embarrassment now, what's the ambush?
According to the news of Tanma, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were exhausted and had collapsed. I think that if we kill it at this time, we will definitely succeed in the battle. ”
Gongsun Zhan was triumphant, which also made Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief.
"In that case, let the younger brother take the lead."
"Eh, Xuande's words are wrong. Before, your three brothers were outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and they were already in the limelight.
This time, how about you please watch the battle for me? ”
To put it bluntly, Gongsun Chan wants to eat alone!
Liu Bei had expected this. Gongsun Zhan went south to ask Dong this time, but he did not make an inch of success outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was already impatient. As for Liu Bei, he actually didn't want to take the lead, but also wanted to observe. Since Gongsun Chan let him watch the battle, he naturally would not refuse. If everything really goes well, he has nothing to lose, and if there is danger, Fang shows his means.
"In this way, the younger brother will wait and watch the triumph of the elder brother."
Gongsun Chan laughed, and then led Bai Ma Yi to leave from the longitudinal horse......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Shilipu, located in the south of Bishui and west of Bianshui, is open and gentle.
Bianshui flowed past the side of Shilipu, leaving behind a dense field of reeds. It is the left, the reeds are high and luxuriant, looking from a distance, such as a ten-mile snow field, so it has the name of ten-mile shop. Ten miles of shop, ten miles of snow...... The white snow in this folk song actually refers to the endless white reed flowers in front of you, and the scenery is quite spectacular from a distance.
Countless troops were resting by the river, all looking disheveled and embarrassed.
Some of them sat on the spot, feasting on dry food, while others lay on their stomachs by the river and seemed completely defenseless.
Thinking about it, it also seems normal.
They withdrew from the Tiger Prison in the middle of the night, and the journey was indeed hard.
To the west, there is another half a day's journey to reach the revolving gate.
It's not a big deal to rest here......
"Listen!"
One of the soldiers suddenly stopped chewing, put down the dry food in his hand, and looked up.
"What?"
"The sound of horses' hooves."
Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
The soldiers were shocked, threw the dry food in their hands to the ground, picked up the spear beside him, and shouted: "Get up, get up, the enemy attack, the enemy attack!" ”
He shouted heartbreakingly, and saw smoke and dust billowing on the horizon.
A cavalry army, coming from a distance like the wind, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, led by dozens of knights wearing white robes and white horses under their crotches, were so imposing that they could already see their appearance clearly.
There are those who are slow to react, and only then do they stand up.
However, before they could stand firmly, they saw a snow-bright sword light gliding through the air, and in an instant, the blood mist was filled, and the body was in a different place.
The Bingzhou army, which was in a hurry to meet the battle, was completely panicked.
