Chapter 158: "My County Marquis Master"
Lu Bu's soldiers and horses came out of the southern city of Guangling.
Taking the southwest march route from Guangling, he encountered a combined attack of Zhao Yun and Xu Chu halfway.
After the ambush, the pursuit was carried out for dozens of miles.
waited for Lu Bu's soldiers and horses to attack, so he defeated his army.
Because there was no Lu Bu garrison, there were few defenders in Guangling, and the thousands of people were only stragglers.
Therefore, it was also captured by Cao Ren's army, and the cities of Guangling were taken within one day.
As a result, LΓΌ Bu left the funeral again, and could only lead more than 2,000 elite cavalry under his command and the soldiers and horses trapped in the camp to flee.
When you get to the north of Shouchun, walk along the river.
But I don't know if I can really go to the land of Jingzhou.
Although the banner of anti-Cao was raised, it had the opposite effect.
In this way, Liu Biao and Lu Bu will indeed be on the same line.
But he would not deliberately send troops to rescue Lu Bu.
His whereabouts were soon discovered by Xu Zhen and Dian Wei.
At the same time, Chen Gong knew Xu Zhen's marching habits, and also sent a sentry to walk an extra twenty miles, and also knew where the soldiers and horses were.
A secret plot is also underway.
Xu Zhen military camp outside the water.
Backed by mountains and built next to the river.
About a hundred miles away, Xu Zhen asked Dian Wei to set up camp here.
Sent soldiers and horses to constantly explore the road, there is only an extremely difficult road behind the mountain, it is not easy for soldiers and horses to pass, so he is very relieved, no longer too much prevention.
"Now that I know the route he is fleeing, I will go directly to ambush and kill him."
Dian Wei stood in front of Xu Zhen, looking radiant.
The headquarters under his command is now extremely excited, and the contribution of this battle must be great, where Lu Bu's headquarters is located, they are all elite divisions, whether it is armament or war horses, they are excellent, according to the previous temperament of the prince, they still will not be handed over.
That's all you can get from your own department!
Under Dian Wei, more than 4,000 people are directly under him, and now all of them are very rich, and in the future, when new soldiers enter the camp, they can give them the existing armaments, and they will go to get the armaments of Lu Bu's personal guards, wouldn't it be even stronger!
Who doesn't like the feeling of the gradual growth of the forces under his command, the more soldiers and horses, the easier it will be to gain credit in the future.
It's like a snowball, and it will be out of control in the future.
Just like the words that the prince often hangs on his lips, there is no end to the children and grandchildren!
"Go ahead."
Xu Zhen did not hesitate at all this time, his face was as usual, very solemn and serious, and even the corners of his mouth were quite encouraging, "You go and get merit, I will wait for you to come back in the barracks." β
"This time, I went straight to Lu Bu's personal guards, if I killed Lu Bu, I would become famous, if not, I would tie up Chen Gongtai and come back, and go to Xu Du to take credit, I'm afraid the prime minister has missed him for many years."
"Hey!"
Dian Wei Senran smiled, "Of course, I have long wanted to take his red rabbit as my own mount!" β
Xu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't cut Chitu, just be his mount." β
Dian Wei was invincible on land, and Lu Bu was invincible immediately.
Lu Bu rode Dian Wei, isn't he invincible in the world!
"Phew! The war is coming, and the prince is saying these depressing words! Dian Wei gave him a blank look, and then immediately went out.
Qi Yu was shocked by the side, touched his head, and approached Dian Wei with a look of reverence, "It's worthy of you, general, you dare to talk to the prince like this!" β
"That's it! Don't look at what we have to do with it! β
Xu Zhen watched him leave with a smile behind him.
A quarter of an hour later, Dian Wei rode up with his army, departed in the dust, and rushed to the trail twenty miles away, preparing to ambush LΓΌ Bu.
β¦β¦
At this time, Lu Bu was on the way, reining in his horse a little and slowing down, listening to the intelligence news from the outpost ahead.
Chen Gong also whispered beside him, and strongly persuaded: "Junhou, Xu Bowen's camp is twenty miles away, this is the result of the first outpost last night, and his sentry has not been sent out at that time, so I must know in advance." β
"There is only one difficult path on this road, which can be bypassed from the mountains and raid its camp."
"I expect that Dian Wei will definitely attack with a large army and intercept it on the road."
"If you use a dead soldier to attack Xu Zhen at this time, you can attack Xu Zhen suddenly in the middle of the night, if you can make a contribution, you can kill Xu Zhen!"
Lu Bu's face immediately turned happy, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and applauded: "The military advisor has a good strategy!" Xu Zhen's use of soldiers is not strange, he walks in a stable manner, and follows the rules, so the use of soldiers is not worse than Cao Cao. β
"Therefore, I have my own camp to cross the mountains."
"Gao Shun!"
"The last general!"
Gao Shun was beside him, his face was fierce, and he immediately clenched his fists.
He had admonished Lu Bu last time, so he had damaged Zhang Liao, and he had always felt that he was too sorry to go, and he had long wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it.
Now that we have another opportunity to make a contribution, of course, we can't miss it.
"If we kill Xu Bowen, we can really escape."
"When you arrive in Jingzhou, you have something to survive!"
Lu Bu's face was solemn.
I would like to say that the only way to survive now is to Jingzhou.
He has already shouted that Cao is a thief against Han and an edict to beg for thieves, so it is impossible to ease up with Xu Zhen anymore, and it is impossible to surrender to Cao Cao.
I'm afraid that now the Cao clan's soldiers and horses will definitely kill him.
The dignified Han monarch and marquis, who would have thought that he would fall into such a field today.
However, the trapping camp has never missed, and now hundreds of people are all dispatched, and it is not a problem to kill Xu Zhen.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu thought about it carefully, and immediately said, "No! I'll go with Gao Shun! β
Chen Gong immediately stopped Lu Bu's figure and said, "Feng Xianling can think about it." β
If you go, what will I do?!
Chen Gong's first reaction in his heart was like this, he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to fight Dian Wei.
Lu Bu sneered, "Hehe, since I know his way, they will definitely know where I am." β
"Naturally, the army is used to ambush, and you can also set up an ambush for the soldiers and horses nearby, so that Dian Wei can't find it, and I can see it at a glance when I go around the back mountain."
"General! When we returned, we went to see the road, which could be carried by a small number of horses, but if we wanted to go in an army, we had to hold the horses and move slowly, the road was too rough for the cavalry to pass. β
"Hmmm! My red rabbit horse over the mountains and mountains is like walking on the flat ground, what is there to fear, it seems that this place is given to me by heaven Lu Bu! β
Hearing the words of the scout, Lu Bu felt more at ease, although now he was defeated and fled, and the soldiers and horses were scattered.
At that time, all the tiger and wolf cavalry were captured and killed, or fled and hid in the mountains, but there were still thousands of soldiers and horses.
More than 2,000 diehards followed, how is it not a blessing.
This is the opportunity given by God, and we must seize it.
At this time, what he thought was that if Xu Bowen's head was taken to Jingzhou, he might be even more valued.
The opportunity to make a comeback is in this battle!
β¦β¦
At night.
Xu Zhen and Zhuge Liang are reading a book.
A short time of peace.
At this time, there was no Cao Ang on the side, and there was no Xia Houen standing around.
There was no Dian Wei and Xu Chu arguing.
There was no Jia Xu who coldly came out with a frightening word.
The two of them felt a sense of tranquility almost spiritually.
[You have been studying for two hours, and you have gained a lot, and the self-discipline value is +200]
[Knowledge +1]
[Knowledge: 92]
"I'm really well-informed."
Zhuge Liang: "......"
As soon as Xu Zhen spoke, his thoughts also dried up.
Originally, I was thinking about some of the problems of grain transportation that I had discussed with my uncle back then, how to build a machine that could allow grain and grass to be transported automatically.
Thinking of this, he immediately blurted out and asked Xu Zhen as well.
Xu Zhen was stunned and said, "Are you studying the wooden ox flowing horse?" β
"What cows and horses?" Zhuge Liang seemed to be mentioned, this name ......
It always feels like a stranger!
"Master, what are you talking about?"
"It's a kind of wooden bracket that can automatically move slowly with a beat, and it should use the axle structure I mentioned to you before, but it's relatively simple, you just need to think about it for a while."
I'm not available.
"Really?! Why does the prince always trust his students so much? Zhuge Liang looked up suspiciously, every time he talked about these ingenious inventions, Zhuge Liang felt extremely curious, because according to Xu Zhen's tone, he knew it.
And then don't talk about it, always let yourself think.
And he said with certainty that he would be able to figure it out in a few months.
Smart after all.
Of course I know I'm smart, but why is the prince more confident in me than I am?
It's puzzling.
"Actually, it's not just that, if Pu Feng can make more delicate hinges, they can use gears to combine hinge bearings to make bicycles."
"Huh?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned, and immediately fell into a deeper confusion.
Then he muttered: "The thoughts of the prince are not in this world, are you really a person in the world?" β
At this moment, Zhuge Liang always felt that Xu Zhen was from heaven.
Or maybe you have strayed into some fairyland, and you have seen a scene that has never existed in this world, otherwise how could there be so many wonderful ideas.
And his cognition is far beyond ordinary people, and even scheming foxes like Jia Xu, who are wise men in this world, are often broken by him.
And the witty words are often surprising, and the words spoken make people not know how to answer.
Xu Zhen suddenly looked up, "If you say that again, I'll run away on horseback." β
"Of course I am a person in the world, but I read a lot of books, if you read books for a few more years, you can also have so much thought, anyway, you are smart, not afraid."
"Let me tell you this, when I was studying, I also opened and closed the doors for ten years for the old-timers in the misty land of the fairy mountains before I was carefully taught."
"Really?"
Zhuge Liang was even more suspicious.
You're not going to lie to me about opening and closing the door for you, are you?
"Of course, I'll tell you a story."
In order to encourage Liangzi, Xu Zhen decided to tell another story that had been hidden in his heart for many years to motivate.
"Okay, watch more, learn more, think more, the main thing is to think." Xu Zhen casually encouraged a few words.
"Okay, Master, please speak!"
Zhuge Liang immediately put down the book in his hand, sat upright, put away all the expressions on his face, and was carefully taught.
Don't dare to have the slightest slack play.
Xu Zhen personally taught not many times, almost all of them taught by example.
Lead by example, let Zhuge Liang follow the example of reading, and whenever he discusses the Tao and discusses, solves doubts and answers questions, these things are all done by Jia Xu.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang cherishes every opportunity for Xu Zhen to spread his words.
"In ancient times, there was a person named Zhongyong, who was already able to export chapters when he was four or five years old, and became poems in a few steps, and the poems and articles he wrote were all admired by the people in the village, and he was also called a prodigy, and he was so precocious that he was shocked."
Xu Zhen said slowly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhuge Liang was attracted in.
After all, Zhuge Liang himself only showed his talent at the age of nine, and he began to think more and learn quickly, and the people in this story could do it at the age of four or five.
At the same time, he also thought that Xu Zhen was bragging, after all, he had never heard of such a person in ancient times, so he was curious about how far he would blow in the end.
"At that time, the people in the village thought that this child was from some fairyland, or that there were immortals on the top, and his father was extremely proud, and took Zhongyong everywhere to find teachers and friends, but not to learn, but to show off his ability."
"Whenever he composes a poem in front of his friends, he will be greeted with applause, and his father will leave satisfied."
"In this way, until he was twenty years old, he did not enter school, and he did not receive guidance from a famous teacher, and as he grew older, the psalms were no different from those of his peers, and he did not make any progress, and finally he was not seen by everyone, and when his father went to study again, teachers from all sides said that his psalms were immature and shallow, and that they could not be taught."
"What does this story illustrate?"
Zhuge Liang immediately smiled, of course he understood that this was an encouragement, it turned out that the master's intentions were here.
So he said, "Explain that there is no end to learning, and you can't be complacent because of a moment's gain, you must study with an open mind, think more and more, so that you can continue to increase your knowledge, teacher!" The students were taught. β
After Zhuge Liang said this, he was quite shocked in his heart, put away his guess about Xu Zhen, and made up his mind to continue studying.
But Xu Zhen sighed and said, "That's not what I meant. β
"Huh?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment.
Xu Zhen looked into the distance and said: "I mean, no matter how good the talent is, you need to have a good father, you see if his father is two thousand stones, three princes and nine kings, this kind of talent has long been prepared to be sent to Taixue to enter the phase in the future, you have a prince master, you should be happy!" So don't think about what you don't have, just learn more! β
"Huh?!" Zhuge Liang suddenly leaned back, and the person was a little numb.
Xu Zhen continued: "You didn't realize what I meant, and you will be punished to write a thousand-word eulogy, the title of which is "My County Marquis Master". β
Zhuge Liang: "......"
While he was stunned, Xu Zhen immediately got up, stroked the top of Zhuge Liang's head, and then quickly walked out of the tent door to wipe his sweat.
Good guy, I can't teach more in the future, this kid has a very open mind, much broader than ordinary people's thoughts, he actually suspects that I am the person of the future?!
β¦β¦
Xu Zhen just came out.
Xia Houen came back from a distance, slapped his horse in front of Xu Zhen, stuck the spear in his hand on the ground, and hugged his fist at Xu Zhen and said, "Junhou! There is movement in the small forest behind the sentinel, and there is indeed an enemy! β
Xu Zhen suddenly laughed, "I know." β
"Lu Bu has no way out, either he is ambushed by Dian Wei, or he takes a risk to steal my camp."
"Thankfully, I left him a path."
Xu Zhen turned around and returned to the camp, quickly changed into his outfit, and equipped the ring head knife and the horse chopping knife, and at this time Xia Houen had already brought his mount.
After he got on the horse, he said to Xia Houen: "Tell all the soldiers and horses that only the main tent will be left in the camp, and the candle will not be extinguished, and let one person enter it to accompany Kong Ming." β
"There are ambushes in the mountains and forests behind the camp."
"The rest of the people are on patrol in the front section, and there must be no anomalies."
"I personally led the army to supervise the battle on the side!"
"Wow!!"
This camp is a decoy.
I just didn't tell Dian Wei.
The intention is to attract Lu Bu, an outlier wolf.
Because he was already hungry, if he knew about it, he would definitely come and kill Xu Zhen to give it a try.
In fact, Xu Zhen thought that it would not work, he didn't expect Lu Bu to hate him so much.
I'm afraid it's safer for him to walk the right way.
It is not easy to ambush soldiers in the mountain and forest paths, and it is impossible to go up the mountains.
Making a trap in the mountains will make Lu Bu detect and run away.
Only he came out of the mountain path, so that after closing the door, there was no way to escape!
