Chapter 60: The Divisive Scheme
If Zhang Xun's soldiers and horses made a slight move, they would be placed in the army and sent the news to Lu Bu's hands.
In this big battle, Zhang Xun lost from the very beginning.
After Zhang Xun led his soldiers and horses to Lingbi County, Zhang Xun was not idle, and after inquiring a little about Lu Bu's dynamics, he immediately asked Yang Feng to lead his men and horses to find Lu Bu's trouble.
This was done so that Yang Feng could test Lu Bu's strength, and secondly, he wanted Lu Bu to consume Yang Feng's strength.
For Zhang Xun, it is simply a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Not to mention, Yang Feng, a stupid boy, really did what Zhang Xun said.
With his own soldiers and horses, he went to find trouble with Lu Bu.
The result is naturally conceivable.
The news of Yang Feng's dispatch of troops had already reached Lu Bu's ears.
When his army reached the vicinity of Lü Bu, it was already known to Lü Bu.
Lü Bu only sent some of his troops and horses to set up an ambush.
Yang Feng was defeated.
This battle not only failed to deplete Lu Bu's strength, but instead caused Yang Feng to lose his troops.
I could only return to Lingbi County in a gloomy manner.
Yang Feng commanded 40,000 soldiers and horses, and after this battle, more than 10,000 people and horses were lost.
And after Zhang Xun learned the news, he was naturally quite happy.
He thought that in this battle, Lu Bu would definitely have some losses. At the same time, he eliminated Yang Feng's combat effectiveness.
He achieved the purpose he had in mind.
When Yang Feng came back with the remnants of the defeated army, he was ridiculed by Zhang Xun again.
After all, he is a general of the defeated army, and he has no merit.
Splitting his head and covering his face is a burst of scolding, and the scolded Yang Feng is speechless, even if there is fire in his heart and anger is burning, he can only endure it temporarily.
However, in this battle, although Lu Bu did not lose many soldiers and horses, he won a complete victory.
But he was still able to find some problems.
For example, this time, Yuan Shu led soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress him. It's kind of moving.
100,000 troops were directly gathered.
If there was no news to him, it would still be extremely difficult for Lu Bu to win under the encirclement and suppression of this 100,000-strong army.
However, at the moment, even if he has the help of Neiying, if he wants to defeat it, it will not be easy for the 100,000 people led by Zhang Xun.
So Lu Bu quickly sent someone to find Yuan Yao and asked Yuan Yao how to solve the current situation.
Whether it means to go through the motions, forget it, or do it with real knives and guns.
At first, Yuan Yao also wanted to mean it.
After all, these horses are all the elite of Yuan Shu's subordinates, if there are too many casualties, it will also weaken Yuan Shu's strength in disguise, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
But after seeing Zhang Xun acting like this, Yuan Yao felt that it was necessary to do enough tricks, so he sent someone to give Lu Bu an idea.
Send someone to divide Yang Feng!
Yang Feng was not of the same mind as Yuan Shu, but temporarily condescended to Yuan Shu, and in history, he was slightly tempted by Lu Bu, so he directly chose to betray Yuan Shu.
Rather than keeping Yang Feng to continue under Yuan Shu, it is better to remove this hidden danger in advance.
And after losing Yang Feng's tens of thousands of troops, Zhang Xun had less troops to deal with Lu Bu, and he was not sure if he wanted to fight with Lu Bu, and this battle would soon subside.
When the time comes, Zhang Xun, who has suffered a loss, does not dare to attack rashly, so he can only choose to retreat and defend, and the news will be passed into Cao Cao's hands, which will definitely make Cao Cao unable to sit still, and he will definitely raise troops to attack.
Yuan Yao only needs to wait here, and then he can unite with Lu Bu and defeat Cao Cao.
His plan was quickly delivered to Lu Bu, and after Lu Bu got Yuan Yao's plan, he did not immediately go to implement it.
Instead, they found Chen Gong and Chen Qi.
After discussing with the two of them, and after determining that there was no harm in doing so, Lu Bu asked people to go and implement his plan.
Persuasion.
This kind of thing is not new to Lu Bu.
Because when he was still following Ding Yuan, Lu Bu was persuaded by Dong Zhuo's people to surrender.
It is nothing more than to first explain in detail how bad he is under the hands of the original owner, and then tout that the other party's ability should not be just such a status, and finally put forward his own plan, which can be successfully implemented.
And Yang Feng is just in line with such a status right now.
Yang Fengnai is a chariot cavalry general appointed by the imperial court, although he was beaten away by Cao Cao, but his chariot cavalry general is not a fake, under Yuan Shu's hands, he can only serve as a small Lingbi county commander.
This is really a bit condescending.
Not only that, Yuan Shu didn't give him too much military food supply, and many times, he needed to find his own way to find the food and grass for his soldiers and horses, and there were many days of grievance under Yuan Shu.
And the previous time Zhang Xun sent him to fight with Lu Bu, it worsened Yang Feng's psychology.
Yang Feng, who was very unhappy under Yuan Shu's hands, was thinking about defecting to others, and Lu Bu's appearance was like a dry firewood, burning at all.
Lu Bu didn't even need to promise Yang Feng more things, he only needed to tell Yang Feng that he had seized Zhang Xun's materials and left them all to him, and divided the land of Huaibei and put Yang Feng under his control.
He Lu Bu didn't need to give out any materials, just changed Yang Feng's name from subordinate Yuan Shu to subordinate Lu Bu, and he could easily bring Yang Feng under Yuan Shu's command to his own hundred years.
Yang Feng has also been suppressed for too long, and on the night when Chen Gong came forward to lobby Yang Feng, he directly agreed, and took advantage of the night to attack Zhang Xun's camp with his men and horses.
Fortunately, Zhang Xun's security ability is good, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he quickly rushed in to protect Zhang Xun, Yang Feng's plan to assassinate Zhang Xun did not succeed, but attacking the camp at night can be regarded as a complete mutiny.
The next day, Zhang Xun was surrounded by Yang Feng's army and could only flee in disarray, losing a large number of supplies and many dead and wounded.
The mighty tens of thousands of troops, stationed in Lingbi County, had not even had time to attack Lu Bu, and they had already been killed by their own people.
Zhang Xun, who had no choice but to take the rest of the men and horses, retreated to Ruyin.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar, first of all, Shouchun's Yuan Shu, after learning about the battle situation on the front line, a mouthful of old blood almost did not spurt out of his throat.
Angry, he stood up directly, staggered a few steps, and his face was full of anger.
Yang ...... Yang Feng is a dog thief, he dares to betray me! ”
At this time, Yuan Shu didn't think that this was Zhang Xun's fault, but only thought that Zhang Xun was affected by Yang Feng.
The civil and military ministers under his command were even more trembling, and no one dared to talk nonsense at this moment.
Yuan Shu was furious, but he was helpless, the soldiers and horses had been transferred to the front line, and he didn't have more people at the moment.
Even if there were, it would not help now.
After all, his subordinates had already persuaded him not to use troops against Lu Bu for the time being.
