Chapter 046: Captured

"No, my stick wound is already healed..."

"I asked Escort Li to inquire, General Qiao originally wanted to take us to mix some military merits, but was strongly opposed by General Zhang, so I lost my qualification to enlist..."

Hearing Tang Yu's explanation, Long Xiang frowned and expressed puzzlement.

"Zhang Xun is at the same level as General Qiao, even if he is appointed as the chief general, how can he meddle in the affairs of his battalion?"

"Ahem, our record is famous, and there is such a big incident in Surabaya, General Zhang is a little worried."

Tang Yu spread his hands and followed to comfort Long Xiang.

"Actually, it's okay not to go, I heard that the defenders of Xuzhou are 20,000, the difference between strength and weakness, and the judgment is made, with Yunqi's character, he may not be able to mix up the merits..."

Good guy, you just say I'm afraid of death, but what's wrong with you? How much pay will cost me my life?

However, in Long Xiang's memory, Lu Bu was finally defeated by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu had almost no outstanding results, so he did not agree with Tang Yu's analysis.

"Success or failure cannot be judged by the number of troops."

Long Xiang shook his head lightly, and said: "General Qiao takes good care of us, even if we can't accompany the army this time, we have to help the field." ”

"Help... Field? Tang Yu scratched his ears and cheeks when he heard it.

Long Xiang was very embarrassed, and said in his heart how to burst the lines of the TV series, there is no such word in this era.

"Rushing out is actually the meaning of helping, handing over the forty horses is also our contribution to the song." Long Xiang immediately changed the topic after explaining.

"Give it all out? Yunqi, you don't know, but whatever is given, it will be difficult to come back..."

Tang Yu had a reluctant expression of pain.

Long Xiang shook his head, "General Qiao has a lot of care, and we have nothing else to repay, these war horses were originally given by him, and he should do the same to repay the peach, Uncle Yu is really reluctant, so he left a few horses as foot power." ”

"Listen to you, I'll do it right away." Tang Yu patted his chest.

After the Huainan army was assembled, it marched to Xuzhou in early April, and LΓΌ Bu of Xiapi was frightened when he learned about it.

The reason why he dared to ruin the marriage at the beginning, in addition to the praise of Chen Qi's father and son and Cao Cao's appeasement, the core reason was that Sun Ce rebelled against Yuan Shu.

According to Lu Bu's thinking logic, the so-called outside must first be at home, Sun Ce rebelled against Yuan Shu in Huiji, and he also hit Sun Ce first when he came first, but Yuan Shu aimed at Xuzhou.

The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, so he went to Chen Gong to ask for a plan, but Chen Gong had a grudge because of the destruction of the marriage, so he said that he was sick and didn't want to see anyone.

Lu Bu had no choice but to invite outsiders Chen Qi and Chen Deng to discuss.

Chen Jue comforted when he met: "There are no good generals under Yuan Shu, the soldiers of Huainan are all rabble, Wenhou is unparalleled in the world in martial arts, and Xuzhou athletes are like tigers and wolves, why worry?" ”

"Although what the doctor said is good, but the people in Huainan are several times larger than those in Xuzhou, please give me a good strategy to retreat from the enemy."

Lu Bu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, although he is addicted to wine, he is quite sober when he is about to fight.

At this time, he couldn't praise Chen Jue, but sincerely asked for advice.

"Yuanlong, for my father to see that you are eager to try, you might as well speak up if you have a plan."

Chen Jue motioned to Chen Deng not to control himself.

"Yui."

Chen Deng nodded to Chen Qi first, and then offered a plan to Lu Bu and said: "Yuan Shu usurped the throne and became the emperor, and the heroes were willing to eat his flesh, the general could repair the book Cao Cao and Sun Ce to attack him, and his father would repair the book to let his father attack Guangling, as long as one party gave pressure, the soldiers of Huainan would be afraid of the head and tail, and it would not be difficult to retreat." ”

Lu Bu asked: "If everyone is watching from the wall, what can I do?" ”

"As long as the general guards it head-on, even if it is a see-saw between them, the rear of Huainan will inevitably be empty, and there are benefits in front of him, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie?"

While Lu Bu pondered, Chen Deng continued to add: "Last year, Liu Xuande was a major general, and he was still able to fight back and forth with Zhang and Qiao, isn't the general as good as him?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just worried about going south to fight, and it will be difficult to dispatch grain and grass..."Lu Bu shook his head lightly.

Chen Jue hurriedly accosted and said: "Wen Hou don't have to worry, the dog and I should do our best to help." ”

"Yes, yes, the general is going out to fight this time, and he needs to keep the heavy generals to defend the city, and beware of Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui after the division of troops." Chen Deng added as he echoed.

"Yuanlong can rest assured, I will leave Gao Boping to guard Xiapi, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui have no chance of sneak attack."

Lu Bu nodded affirmatively, he himself likes to engage in sneak attacks, even if Chen Deng doesn't remind him, he will work hard.

Thinking of the grumpy Chen Gong, Lu Bu glanced at the Chen family father and son again.

Lu Bu held Chen Qi's hand and invited with sincerity in his eyes: "Chen Gongtai is occasionally infected with the cold, I am afraid that he will not be able to go out with the army, the doctor is very resourceful, can he go south with Bu to be a staff officer?" ”

"My father is very old..."

Before Chen Deng finished speaking, Chen Qi stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said: "Yuanlong doesn't have to worry, his father's body is not so weak, since Wen Hou has orders, the old man should also contribute to Xuzhou." ”

"Great."

Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, and said in his heart that with Chen Jue accompanying the army, then Chen Deng would definitely do his best to supervise the grain, and he would not worry about the chaos in Xiapi, and he had more confidence in defeating Yuan's army.

March and April were in the spring ploughing, and it was impossible to forcibly recruit the people on a large scale, and Yuan Shu's logistics supply line was mainly waterways, so Huainan's march route still relied on Huaishui and Surabaya.

In late April, the two armies of Yuan and Lu encountered each other in the fields north of Xu County, south of Xiaxiang, and near Louting in Xuzhou, and tested the strength of both sides in the first battle.

Lu Bu had few soldiers but strong combat effectiveness, while the situation of the Huainan army was completely opposite, so the victory or defeat turned out to be a suspense.

After a few days of separation, Lu Bu used Chen Qi's divisive strategy and wrote a letter against Han Xian and Yang Feng who defected to Yuan Shu.

The two of them have an old relationship with Lu Bu, and the separation plan really took effect.

Han Xian and Yang Feng led the army to defect in front of the formation, and attacked with Lu Bu's troops inside and outside, Zhang Xun's Huainan army could not react, and was instantly chaotic and defeated, and the deputy general Qiao Rui was also captured alive when he fled.

Lu Bu, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others chased after him, and the main general Zhang Xun rushed frantically in the direction of Huainan while gathering men and horses, and sent fast horses to Shouchun for help.

Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard the battle report, and immediately gathered troops and horses to respond, but at this time, there were few garrisons around Shouchun, and only 5,000 steps were gathered in a hurry, so Yuan Shu had to personally take command to boost morale.

Not surprisingly, the 'famous' Longxiang Qu Club is still not among the 5,000 people.

Because of the lack of air defense in Shouchun City, Long Xiang's Qubu was transferred to the defense of the city and assigned to the guard at the south gate of Shouchun.

Take a look at the scenery at the castle tower every day, and patrol the perimeter of the city wall like a community security guard.

Long Xiang's life was more comfortable than in the barracks outside the city, and the food standard of the city defense army was also higher.

On the second day of taking office, Tang Yu brought a person to Long Xiang, who was Qiao Rui's youngest son, Qiao Ling.

"Childe, why are you here?"

Long Xiang sighed in his heart, the news of Zhang Xun's defeat and Qiao Rui's capture is no longer a secret in Shouchun City, and his heart said What is this kid looking for me?

"Have you heard about my father?" Qiao Ling's face was full of sadness.

Long Xiang nodded and analyzed: "I've heard about it, Gongzi but relax, General Qiao is not an ordinary soldier, Lu Bu should use him to ask for benefits, so there is no danger to his life..."

"I've heard... Sometimes the Lord will sacrifice the flag with prisoners of war, if so..."
