Chapter 21: Surrender

Jia Xu asked: "If General Lu occupies Guanzhong, how are you going to attack the world?" ”

Lu Bu knew that Jia Xu was testing himself.

Whether the other party can assist him depends on whether his answer can satisfy him.

Lu Bu became serious, pondered for a moment and said, "Repair the government internally." Dong Zhuo was harsh and the people were poor. I want to be in charge of Guanzhong, and I will first take a light requisition. Strict military discipline must not disturb the people. At the same time, the displaced people were widely gathered, water conservancy was built, land was opened up, and land was hoarded by the displaced people.

With foreign troops, Ma Teng Han was defeated first, and then Xiliang was collected. and then plotted against the Xiongnu and Xianbei to secure the border. Cultivate for two or three years, and attack Hanzhong and Shu. Occupy the steep place of the world's majestic pass to watch the world. When the world changes, he personally led the army of Qinchuan to attack Shandong and plot the world. ”

Lu Bu's insights made Jia Xu very happy.

I thought Lu Bu was a reckless man, but I didn't expect to have such an opinion.

It seems that I was frustrated and didn't really understand Lu Bu.

I can't imagine that he hides so deeply, usually does not move mountains and rivers, and disguises himself as a greedy and lustful reckless man, so that everyone despises him.

Now that I saw the opportunity, I finally showed my fangs.

This city, this perseverance, and this ambition are for those who accomplish great things.

Seeing that he has been very important to himself these days, he vaguely wants to entrust the mastermind to himself.

Following him should be able to display his talents and leave a name in history.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu thought to himself.

In this way, it seems that this Lu Bu is also a master, so I will follow him for the time being to see what he will do next. If not, find another way out of your own.

Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Lu Bu.

"My lord, please bow down to Jia Xu. I am willing to follow the lord's left and right and give advice to help the lord achieve hegemony. ”

Finally subdued Jia Xu.

With this top-level strategist, I, Lu Bu, am not afraid of the world's heroes.

Lu Bu hurriedly helped Jia Xu up, and said happily: "With Mr. Wenhe to help me, why worry about the big thing." I also forgot to write and mention more in the future. ”

"Don't dare, this is a matter within the text and division, don't dare to ask for ears." Since Jia Xu decided to help Lu Bu achieve hegemony, he naturally had a different attitude than before.

In the past, Lu Bu didn't ask, and Jia Xu wouldn't speak.

Now that the master and servant have been decided, Jia Xu naturally has to think about Lu Bu.

"My lord, although you eradicated Dong Zhuo and seized his foundation, your foundation in the court is weak, and you can't learn from Dong Zhuo, and continuing to let the court stay in Chang'an will only become your constraint, not help you succeed."

Lu Bu nodded, he was different from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.

Dong Zhuo relied on the direct coercion of the 200,000 Xiliang army.

In this way, the Shandong heroes who also provoked the establishment of the Eighteenth Road Princes against Dong.

If he learns from Dong Zhuo, he is afraid that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will crusade against him in the same name sooner or later.

He is not afraid to arrive, but he doesn't want to waste his energy now on arguing with the civil servants of the imperial court and missing the precious opportunity for development in vain.

He can't play with power like Cao Cao and hold the whole court in his hands. After all, he didn't have so many scribes to occupy important positions in the imperial court now.

"I have this concern, so I want to ask Wen He for advice."

Jia Xu said: "You can't get along, you can only send it away." The lord mainly took the opportunity of this dispatch of troops to pretend to be invincible, and then spread the news, threatening Niu Fu and others to raise 150,000 troops to attack Chang'an. The lord secretly united with the officials, and in the name of thinking about His Majesty's safety, sent them to Luoyang, and the lord stayed behind to resist Dong Zhuoyu's party. ”

"Good! Wenhe's plan is deeply in my heart. Lu Bu was very happy with Jia Xu's idea, but he quickly became a little worried. Now Dong Zhuoyu's party is panicking, if they can defeat them, they will definitely disperse in a hurry. But if they let them win, I am afraid that it will greatly boost their morale. After all, they have 150,000 soldiers and horses, and if they are twisted into a single force, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

Seeing that Lu Bu recognized the problem, he did not blindly echo himself. Jia Xu nodded approvingly.

If I want to follow the landlord, I should have such a judgment.

He smiled and said, "If it is true that it will lose, it will naturally boost their morale." But if they fake defeat, defeat is very fake, and make them think that the lord is deceitful, is he trying to lure them into a trap? They are afraid that they will only be frightened, and their morale will not be high. ”

Lu Bu understood as soon as he heard it. "I know what to do. When the fake is true, the truth is also false! General Ben will accompany them to play a play, hoping that they can cooperate. ”

Lu Bu stated the merits of Zhang Liao and others.

The emperor decreed that Zhang Liao, Li Su and others were appointed as lieutenants, and Jia Xu was appointed as the commander of the cavalry.

LΓΌ Bu left four generals such as Zhang Liao and Wei Xu, as well as 10,000 troops and states, and asked them to incorporate the Xiliang army.

Lu Bu led 6,000 cavalry, as well as more than 10,000 old troops of the Xiliang Army, and killed Niu Fu with great fanfare.

Afraid that Niu Fu would not know that the imperial court was going to kill them, Lu Bu beat gongs and drums and threatened to kill Dong Zhuoyu's party.

Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou fled to Shaanxi, and sent people to Chang'an to ask for forgiveness.

Niu Fu is different from others, he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he knows that everyone else can be forgiven, so it is impossible for himself and Dong Yue to be pardoned.

He heard that Lu Bu had led an army of 20,000 to kill him. He immediately sent people to deliver messages to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou.

"Don't think you can ask for forgiveness, now the imperial court has ordered Lu Bu to be sent to encircle and suppress us. Lu Bu, who has always been at odds with us, has openly raised his banner to kill us all. If you don't want to die, you can only fight with them. ”

After sending someone to deliver the message, Niu Fu led 30,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to kill Chang'an.

The vanguard army consisted of shield soldiers, archers, axe men, and fortification soldiers, and was equipped with siege equipment such as sasswood, ladders, and building carts.

The left and right flank armies were 5,000 men each, all of whom were cavalry.

There were still two units in the rear of the Chinese army, which could be used to defend the rear road and serve as reinforcements.

Lu Bu led 16,000 soldiers and horses, separated by five or six hundred paces, reined in the war horses and stopped the army.

Lu Bu wears a purple and gold crown with a three-pronged bundle of hair, a Xichuan red brocade and a hundred flowers robe, a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt around his waist.

Riding a red rabbit horse galloping in front of the two armies, Lu Bu shouted arrogantly: "Hahaha...... I thought it was who, it turned out to be Niu Fu, your straw bale. I am Wenhou Lu Bu, you bunch of local chickens and dogs, who dares to come out and fight with me! ”

As soon as he put down the cruel words, in front of Niu Fu's eyes, Lu Bu suddenly shouted. "There is an ambush, let's retreat!"

With that, he turned his horse's head and ran.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who had been reminded early in the morning, also quickly turned around and ran.

In less than a bowl of tea, Niu Fu looked at the place where there were tens of thousands just now, and now in addition to a bunch of footprints, there is still half a figure.

Niu Fu asked his henchman Hu Chi'er in disbelief.

"What's going on?"
