Chapter 226: Formation

Wei Xuan was strong in Yuyuan Pass, and the auxiliary battalion in Yangcheng did not stop, in addition to building the weapons and armor of the soldiers, he also made a thousand imitation Mo knives and four hundred divine arm bows according to Wei Xuan's requirements, Wei Xuan equipped him into Tai Shi Ci's camp, thinking of relying on the bravery of Tai Shi Ci and Guan Hai and Tai Shi Charity Shooting to give full play to the role of these secret weapons, looking forward to facing a large number of Xiliang cavalry as a secret weapon to deter the enemy in the future battle.

There is also a group of people who are busier than the soldiers in Yuyuan Pass, that is, the scouts and Jinyi guards scattered in Yin, Henan, as various rumors unfavorable to Dong Zhuo's army continue to ferment, plus Xu Huang and Yang Feng finally Chen Bing by the Yellow River after rectification, many middle-level generals in the Xiliang army began to worry about Dong Zhuo's future, but they did not dare to tell Dong Zhuo directly about this worry.

And Xu Rong of Yique Pass was the most depressed, when he first received the gifts and letters sent by Wei Xuan, he didn't take it seriously, because Wei Xuan was from the Wei family in Hedong, where he used to follow Dong Zhuo as a military marquis, and the two still cooperated when the Bai Bo army was in chaos in Hedong, and Wei Xuan's letters were just reminiscing, and the gifts were also very ordinary. But I can't stand a letter every three days and a gift every five days???????????????? Xu Rong finally realized that something was wrong, so he sent all Wei Xuan's letters and gifts directly to Luoyang to prove his innocence.

Xu Rong and Wei Xuan have a relationship, Dong Zhuo knows it, Niu Fu and Wei Xuan also have a relationship, otherwise Wei Xuan would not have proposed to exchange prisoners so happily that day. But he couldn't stand Dong Zhuo, and there were villains around him, and Xu Rong was not a general of the Xiliang system, so it was inevitable that the seeds of suspicion would sprout if he talked too much.

However, Dong Zhuo was still sensible, he switched the positions of Xu Rong, Lu Bu and Niu Fu, Niu Fu was stationed at Yique Pass, Xu Rong was stationed at Yanshi, and Lu Bu was pushed to the front.

Xu Rong could only smile bitterly at this, and he could only blame Wei Xuan, not Dong Zhuo and the people around him. This kind of discord plan doesn't seem to have succeeded, in fact, if he doesn't make any gestures, Wei Xuan has no good way, but his change of the position of the three generals shows that he is still worried about him, Xu Rong may not have the idea of back, but he can't stand the other generals and Xu Tong's subordinates have ideas, and other generals will definitely gradually snub and reject Xu Rong, and Xu Rong's subordinates will definitely be unworthy of Xu Rong.

Wei Xuan separated Xu Rong with a yang scheme, but he couldn't do this to Lu Bu, after Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo treated him very well, and even his military positions were above Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others. Now the two of them are in the honeymoon period, so Wei Xuan has no choice but to sacrifice one or two women, of course, the gift is carried out quietly, and he does not forget to pretend to compliment Lu Bu, it is nothing more than the general's courage to win the world, and when the three-foot green peak is leveled in the world, how can he be a tiger for the tiger...... Wei Xuan didn't expect to succeed in separating Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu once. But the seeds of suspicion, once germinated, are irreversible.

And Dong Zhuo asked the three generals to change their defenses, no matter what Dong Zhuo thought in his heart, Xu Rong and Lu Bu must have ideas, at least they think that Dong Zhuo has ideas for them! put Lu Bu at the front, making it more convenient for Wei Xuan to contact Lu Bu. Lu Bu did not refuse the beauties and goods sent by Wei Xuan, but every time he just didn't mention the alliance or even betrayal, Wei Xuan was not in a hurry, and occasionally revealed that Xu Rong was his old friend, and Niu Fu had a good relationship with himself, and said conclusively that if it wasn't for Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, he wouldn't have come to this point.

Time flies, when Yuan Shao worked hard in Hanoi to win over Jizhou soldiers and celebrities to plot Jizhou, when Yuan Shu sharpened his knife Huo Huo to Xiangyang, in the middle of September of the first year of Chuping, the autumn was high and cool, and Wei Xuan, who had lived in Yuyuan Pass for more than two months, finally felt that the time had come, so he contacted Sun Jian again to launch an attack on Henan Yin, where Dong Zhuo's army was entrenched.

Wei Xuan's army is along the line between Yuyuan Pass and Luoyang, the monkey clan bears the brunt, but the Yanshi is not more than thirty miles, although Lu Bu is brave, but he will not be arrogant enough to deal with Wei Xuan's twenty or thirty thousand horses alone, so he stepped up the deployment of defense, and sent people to inform Xu Rong and Niu Fu in the rear.

Although there are few soldiers and horses under Lu Bu, it is the elite of Ding Yuan's subordinates and states, and the generals under him are all brave, the most prominent of which is the very 6 + 1, that is, the six strong generals Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Gao Shun, the leader of the trap camp, the first six are known for their bravery, and Gao Shun is famous for his talent in commanding the army. It's just that I don't know if this very 6+1 is all in this monkey county.

Lu Bu is brave, and his generals are also brave, Wei Xuan knows this, and Zhang Liao, the general in Wei Xuan's army, was also a native of Bingzhou, and Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng.

Therefore, the whole army marched very cautiously to the west of Monkey County and set up camp, but unexpectedly, for two days, Monkey County was ???????????????? Lu Bu's army did not move, and Lu Bu did not use cavalry to go out of the city to fight like Niu Fu before.

If Lu Bu did not have Niu Fu and Xu Rong behind him, and both had cavalry, he would definitely set up a battalion outside the city as a containment.

Wei Xuan had no choice but to wait for Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Wei Zheng, Wei Yan and his own Chinese army to camp respectively, so he sent Zhang Fei to take Guan Hai to the city to provoke.

So thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the state heard a group of people shouting outside the Monkey City: "Lu Bu, you are a slave with three surnames, do you have the courage to take refuge in Dong Thief and dare not come out to fight?" ”

"Lu Bu, Lu Bu, don't think that you are a great Hu person, come out and fight alone!"

"Lu Bu, Lu Bu, three family slaves, three family slaves, three family slaves!"

"Lu Bu, Lu Bu, big turtle, big turtle, big turtle!"

Zhang Fei himself is a loud voice, and the more than 100 personal soldiers behind him are also selected from the cavalry with a relatively loud voice.

Such a shout was not only heard by the defenders on the city wall, but even spread to the city, and naturally some of Lu Bu's cronies also heard it, so they hurriedly went to the military camp to report to Lu Bu.

By the time Lu Bu came to the city wall, Zhang Fei and the others were already tired, and they sat on the ground one mile away from the city, shouting weakly: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, three family slaves......"

"Lu Bu, Lu Bu big turtle!"

Then it seemed that someone saw Lu Bu ascending the city wall, Zhang Fei and the others suddenly came and got up from the ground and shouted in unison again: "Three family slaves, three family slaves, three family slaves!" ”

Lu Bu clenched his fists, the bruises on his face were exposed, and he glared angrily.

After Gao Shun saw it, he hurriedly walked over and persuaded: "General, this is Wei Xuan's plan, he wants us to go out of the city to fight, he must have set up an ambush outside the city, Niu Fu was completely annihilated by him in Dadingling on the same day, more than 1,000 cavalry is the middle plan was besieged by Wei Yan's more than 6,000 cavalry." ”

Lu Bu pointed to the open space outside the city where Zhang Fei and the others were and said with a smile: "It is said that after Wei Zhongdao is famous, he can't think of using this strategy. The previous Niu Fulang battle was just because he was stuck in the valley and couldn't be used, and when the cavalry of the tiger prison arrived, he would have made him pay the price. ”

Gao Shun also wanted to say, but after thinking about it, Lu Bu had already asked his brother-in-law Wei Xu, who was stationed in the tiger prison, to lead a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry to reinforce him, and he would arrive in a day or two, and then three thousand infantry in the city could be garrisoned, and three or four thousand cavalry could go out of the city to make a surprise attack.

Zhang Fei and the others shouted hoarse outside the city, but they didn't see the enemy in the city come out and return to the camp in frustration, just when Wei Xuan came to the front camp to inspect, he comforted Zhang Fei when he saw this: "Yide doesn't have to worry, tomorrow we will dispatch a catapult to force Lu Bu out of the city, last time Niu Fu was forced to fight out of the pass." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong frowned, and in order to facilitate the command of the attack, Zhang Liao's tiger and leopard cavalry and the former camp of Wu Meng Lieutenant Huang Zhong temporarily shared a camp. Originally, the plan did not use the bulky catapult for an open city attack, because it was difficult to move once it was installed, and the cavalry in the open area was easy to attack the attacking catapult.

Seeing this, Wei Xuan smiled and said: "The reason why Lu Bufei is able to calm down and refuse to come out must be waiting for reinforcements, so we will put the venue for the decisive battle here, so that Niu Fu and Xu Rong can run a little more." ”

???????????????? Hearing this, everyone present looked at Wei Xuan with solemn expressions, everyone knew that the Xiliang soldiers were elite, and the Xiliang cavalry was the strongest, although they broke through the Yuyuan Pass and got a lot of war horses, Wei Xuan formed three cavalry, but the total number was only seven thousand, most of them were only initially formed combat effectiveness, and it was absolutely impossible to go one-on-one with the Xiliang cavalry.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Wei Xuan glanced at Xi Zhicai, who took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve and spread it out and placed it on a table in the center of the military tent.

Wei Xuan walked down from the main seat and beckoned to everyone: "Don't be stunned, come and take a look, if you have any questions, it's good to discuss them and complete the revision before tonight." ”

Hearing this, the captains of each battalion, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Wei Zheng, Wei Yan, Tai Shici, and others got up from their seats and came to the formation map to take a closer look.

Wei Xuan took a slender wooden stick and pointed at the formation diagram and said, "We not only want to force Lu Bu in the city to leave the city, but also force Niu Fu and Xu Rong to come to help." Tomorrow, each will leave 1,000 infantry to guard the camp, and Captain Huang will lead the front battalion to line up at the west gate of Houshi County, and then assemble the gravity catapult after the infantry is placed, and launch it while assembling, so that the defenders in the city can see the power.

The left and right battalions were arrayed in the north of the left and right sides of the Huang Zhong battalion to intercept the reinforcements in the city from the east and west gates. Tai Shi Ci moved the camp to the northwest of the left camp to face the direction of Yanshi, and intercepted Xu Rong's troops who came from the direction of Yanshi. The cavalry of the Chinese army Han * Meng and Xin Ai are the two wings of Tai Shici. Zhou Cang and Cai Meng guarded the camp of the Chinese army, and the road of the general was moved to the front camp. ”

Everyone looked at each other while looking for the location of their army on the map, Wei Xuan's trick to lure the snake out of the hole not only used the catapult as bait, but also moved his own avenue to the front camp, it would be difficult for the enemy to watch the catapult smash his own city wall, and he would definitely storm this place.

Wei Xuan is very humble to his subordinates on weekdays, and now directly calling his name is equivalent to giving a military order, although they still have some doubts, no one dares to speak.

After a few lieutenants watched it for a while, Wei Xuan asked Sima and the army to come forward separately, so that everyone could familiarize themselves with the location of the battlefield as soon as possible, so that they could observe from the watchtower or judge the situation from the battlefield movement when they met the enemy.
