Lu Bu finally waited for the envoy in Yangyuan City, knowing that Lin Mo and his troops had arrived last night, two days later than expected, which made Lu Bu a little confused.

Fortunately, with the clever plan of burning Anfeng, the vanguard of the Cao army was defeated, and the other party came from afar, so he would definitely choose to rest temporarily at this time.

Lu Bu looked at the location of Yangyuan on the map, it was still more than a hundred miles away from Panxi Pass, and if he traveled day and night, he could arrive before dawn tomorrow.

Looking at it this way, nothing big will happen.

"Wen Hou, Cao's army has been newly defeated, and he has worked far away, and now he has just left the camp, do you want to rush to rob the camp tonight?"

In the Chinese military tent, there are only two people, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu.

He came on his own initiative.

After hearing about the burning of Anfeng, he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night, as long as Cao Cao was defeated, he was as happy as if he had won the battle.

The only regret is that I didn't get involved in this battle.

In order to roll the snowball of victory bigger and bigger, he took the initiative to run to ask Lu Bu to play a night attack.

"The Xiliang cavalry I brought is brave and good at fighting, and it will definitely be successful in one blow!" Zhang Xiu's battle spirit was gushing, and he added.

Lu Bu just smiled and made a gesture to sit down, "Ziwen, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it yet." You have also seen the letter sent by Xuande, the cavalry brought by Cao Jun this time is different from the past, the combat power is extremely strong, coupled with the new defeat, the whole army will inevitably fight cautiously, and now it is better to brake quietly. ”

Lu Bu already knew about the tiger and leopard riding, and Liu Bei emphasized them in the letter of good news, and directly took out the Flying Bear Army of the year for comparison, which is conceivable This is not an exaggeration.

Again, campjacking is always an extreme way to take risks, and the success rate is really not high.

There were a lot of people who went, and before they arrived, they were discovered by the scouts of the other party, so they could only throw themselves into the net;

There are fewer people going, and it is a question of whether they can come back, and the Taishi Ci Hundred Cavalry Robbery Camp under Guangling City is the best example.

In fact, if it were not for the absolute passivity and the last resort, very few people would be willing to do such a thing as a camp robbery.

It's more like an all-or-nothing gamble, an opportunistic game.

"Ziwen rest assured."

Looking at Zhang Xiu's face of loss, Lu Bu explained with a smile: "What Yunwen said makes sense, this trip Cao Jun is wearing stars and moons all the way, and there will not be too much grain and grass, as long as we contain Cao Jun, within a month, he will definitely retreat."

At that time, Ziwen should lead the army to chase and kill, and there is no need to worry. ”

"Thank you Wen Hou for your advice." It turned out to be an arrangement made by Lin Dajunshi, so it was fine.

Lin Mo's thousand-mile plan to break Cao Jun can be regarded as earning him enough prestige, not to mention that everyone in the military camp praises him, and even Zhang Xiu, who has just worshiped his disciples, is extremely respected.

Naturally, Zhang Xiu is willing to believe his words.

"Report!"

While the two were chatting, a scout ran in, "Cao Cao personally led more than 10,000 troops out of the village and is heading towards Ankou County!" ”

What?

The two looked at each other with different expressions.

One person felt a little unreasonable, the vanguard of 5,000 people was defeated in less than two days, when the army's heart was turbulent, and he was in a hurry to go out without making adjustments, Cao Cao, will you fight?

One person thought that this was a good thing, as soon as they started a battle, I led my troops to kill from the rear and stabbed Cao Cao directly.

"Beat the drums and give orders to the soldiers in the civil and military tents!"

"Whoa!"

There are several types of drum beats in the army, and there are different types of enemy attacks, emergency calls, and the whole army.

When the drum of the urgent call sounded, it didn't take long for Wei Yue, Xu Sheng, Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Jia Xu and others to rush over.

Except for Chen Deng, who stayed in Guangling to raise the people, and Lu Su, who stayed in the Lujiang River to control the water, all the strategists who could be named arrived.

When General Lu Bu announced his feelings to the public, the civil and military officials were also stunned.

Probably, I didn't expect Cao Cao to choose to do it at such an inopportune time.

But soon, everyone had a guess in their hearts.

Although Cao Cao's combat power is strong, he is in a hurry, thinking that the supply of grain and grass can't keep up, so he is in a hurry to clean up Liu Bei, causing the established facts, so as to force us to retreat.

"Don't be stunned, let's talk about it." Lu Bu knocked on the table and woke up the people in the fugue.

"The last general asks for orders, order 5,000 people to rush to Ankou, and when Cao's army is weak in attacking the city, he will strike with thunder, and he will make the mistake of Anfeng repeat!"

Zhang Xiu was not the first to speak, but Wei Yue, who was eager to make contributions, seemed to be afraid of being preempted, so he was the first to ask for battle.

With him taking the lead, Zhang Xiu didn't have to worry about anything, and said: "General Chu Nan is so bold, I am willing to walk with you!" ”

"Count me in! Wen Hou, the last general is invited to fight! Xu Sheng, who was finally promoted to captain, had the qualifications to be a soldier in front of the tent, and he was unwilling to be lonely to follow.

In the battle of Anfeng, Cao's army was defeated, and the soldiers now feel that Cao Cao is like a soft and good person, and no one still remembers that the enemy in front of him is the male lord who crisscrosses the Central Plains and coerces the princes of the Son of Heaven.

Habit is a terrible thing, if it was a change from the past, Lu Bu would not hesitate to shoot the case and shout, okay, point soldiers, point soldiers!

But now, Lu Bu subconsciously opened his mouth, he wanted to ask, where is Yunwen.

In the end, I swallowed it back.

Peng Chengxia's parting words were heard in his ears, and now this army is no longer the thousands of people who followed him to sleep in the open and live in a fixed place.

With the arrival of different strata of forces, this should no longer even be a hall of its own.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and looked at his left side intently, "Gongtai, Ziyang, Wenhe, why don't you three speak." ”

Chen Gong is okay, Liu Ye and Jia Xu are both stunned, let's talk, does it work?

After all, this question still made Liu Ye's heart feel a lot more comfortable, and he muttered: "The Cao army is eager to break through Ankou, thinking that there is a shortage of food and grass, and Wen Hou may send his troops to feint to attack the Cao army's camp and carry out a plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao." ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he bowed slightly, this was a good choice, which could not only avoid a head-on collision with Cao Cao, but also help Liu Bei retreat from the enemy.

Chen Gong said: "I think that Liu Bei's soldiers are outnumbered, and Ankou is a hundred miles of Xiaoguo, it is difficult to resist the elite soldiers of Cao's army, if the war falls into a stalemate, even if we feint, Cao Cao may not be able to retreat in time to help, even if Liu Bei is defeated, it will be a good opportunity." ”

"So, you're also in favor of direct rescue?" Lu Bumo rubbed his chin and looked at Chen Gong, who nodded and added, "The only thing to consider is that there may be an ambush of Cao's army at Donglinkou, the only way to rescue Liu Bei. ”

Jia Xu's eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Gong, waiting for the following.

"Siege point reinforcements?"

Lu Bu showed a look of sudden realization, "Then how to deal with it?" ”

Chen Gong twisted his beard and said in a deep voice: "This is just a possibility, Cao Cao has already transferred more than 10,000 people to attack the city, and there are not many soldiers and horses left, so there should be no one to set up an ambush."

Just let the soldiers be careful. ”

Obviously, he was a little hesitant, thinking that it was possible, but he didn't think it was too reasonable.

Could it be that Cao Cao dared to play so big and leave an empty camp?

That's the lifeblood of survival, impossible.

Lu Bu's eyes turned, although there was hesitation in his heart, Lin Mo's words echoed in his ears over and over again, this kid can't be by my side all the time

Suddenly, his eyes must be certain, and he glanced at Wei Yue, "Chu Nan, Ziwen, order five thousand soldiers, gallop to Ankou!" ”

"Whoa!"

After the two of them made a fuss, they excitedly threw off their robes and turned out of the tent.

Looking at Xu Sheng, who had an earnest face, Lu Bu reacted and nodded with a smile, "You go too." ”

"Thank you, Wenhou!"

The matter has been finalized, and everyone left one after another, but Lu Bu was a little distracted.

For a long time, he would definitely participate in a battle like this, but today, here, in the life-and-death duel with Cao Cao, he did not take the lead as before.

He just wanted to really be the commander of this team.

Under the gate, cavalry and infantry rushed out, and Lu Bu watched them leave.

There were more than 3,300 cavalry in the camp, and he brought 2,000 from Guangling, and the rest were brought by Zhang Xiu.

In this operation, they took away 1,800 people, and Lu Bu's 1,500 wolf riders did not participate, this is his trump card, and he will not move easily.

Wei Yue and his entourage gradually walked away with five thousand people, and in the end, even the figure of the foot soldiers was blocked by Lin Ye, but Lu Bu was still looking at the direction they were going in a daze.

I don't know if it's because Lin Mo is not around, or because he didn't personally participate in the war, Lu Bu always has a faint uneasiness in his heart.

This kind of uneasiness is not unfounded.

For this army, which survived a hundred battles under the smoke of wolves, and for the commander of this army, he should have long been accustomed to the calm before the storm.

So, Lu Bu was wondering if he had missed something.

Yunwen told me that I wanted to adopt the opinions of all parties, and everyone expressed their opinions, and I also weighed and adopted them according to what he said

Wrong!

Lu Bu suddenly remembered someone, and Jia Xu hadn't spoken yet.

At that time, there were many people, and the opinions were one-sided, so they ignored him.

For Jia Xu, Lu Bu has a certain understanding, and he can be regarded as an old man, he has heard Li Ru talk more than once that Jia Xu's talent is not below him, but he doesn't like to speak.

Lin Mo was unusually excited when he received Zhang Xiu's letter to defect, but this excitement was not because of Zhang Xiu, not because of his subordinates, but because of Jia Xu.

He turned to look at the tent, and then at the direction where the army had left, and everyone was gone, was it necessary to ask?

After just a short hesitation, Lu Bu felt that he should go and talk to him, whether it was to talk about the past, to ask questions, or to express the uneasiness in his heart.

Thinking of this, he strode towards Jia Xu's tent.

"Why did Wen Hou come here?" Jia Xu was quite surprised by Lu Bu's arrival, and hurriedly invited him to sit down and make tea.

"You and I, former colleagues, are now working together to achieve great things, shouldn't you come and see you?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"It's time to visit Wen Hou next," Jia Xu explained with a smile.

A pot of tea is brewed, and the two sit opposite each other to taste tea.

Lu Bu is not good at twisting and turning, and he went straight to the point in a few words, "Wenhe, I know that you are very strategic, and Yunwen also praises your talent above him, you must know that Yunwen doesn't often praise people, but why didn't he open his mouth when he was in the military tent, isn't he worried?" ”

Jia Xu was a little stunned when he heard this.

He was surprised that Lu Bu was able to discover himself with a weak sense of existence so carefully, and he was even more surprised that the genius who was a young man with ambition and dominating the two states praised himself so much.

For the former, he was happy, because Lu Bu at least had the insight to become the master of the people.

For the latter, he has some delirious thoughts.

In the battle of burning Anfeng, he saw Lin Mo's methods, and immediately understood that it was Lin Mo's idea behind his back to recruit Zhang Xiu, and even the 30,000 stone grain and grass was also proposed by him.

After all, he is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Lu Bu obeys him, even if Wen Hou is as reckless as he was back then, with Lin Mo here, this camp is worth his stay.

In the long run, it may not be impossible to set off an evenly matched confrontation with Cao Cao in the Central Plains.

But this is Lin Mo's ability, as far as he is concerned, he finally feels that his identity is too embarrassing, and it is not suitable to put forward opinions that are contrary to those of the sages in the account.

"Wenhe."

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lu Bu's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Since you are like-minded, why do you have reservations?" ”

"Don't dare to do it below, it's a foregone conclusion, it's useless to talk more, in case of a verbal collision, wouldn't it be a disaster to the morale of the army?" If these words were asked in the Chinese military account, he might throw out some opinions, but now that Wei Yue has sent troops, it is meaningless to say anything.

"There are only you and me here, and I have the right to talk to the old people, let's talk about it, what you think in your heart, I am willing to listen to it." Lu Bu personally refilled half a cup of tea for Jia Xu, and his words were quite sincere.

I can't believe what Wen Hou has experienced, it has changed so much.

It seems that the front of me is different from the time of Guangling City.

If Dong Xiang was willing to listen to persuasion, why not be in chaos today.

Feeling the burning heat in Lu Bu's eyes, Jia Xu felt that he didn't know how to raise it if he hid it anymore, so he immediately stood up and said, "Wen Hou let me say it, I don't dare not say it, but if I don't listen to what I said, please forgive Wen Hou." ”

Lu Bu pressed his hand, "What are you doing, you said that we are talking about the hearts of old people, not discussing politics and politics, sit down and sit down." ”

Speaking of which, Jia Xu felt that the words in his heart could indeed be spoken.

After he sat down again, he looked at Lu Bu fixedly, and after a moment, he said: "There are three strategies for Wen Hou to choose from. ”

Upper, middle and lower strategies?

Lu Bu leaned back a few inches, you bastard, you have so many ideas, but you didn't say a word in the Zhongjun tent just now.

He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and nodded his head to signal the other party to continue.

"The best policy, the last strike. Although Ankou is a small city and Liu Bei has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, his newly defeated Cao army is elite and his morale is like a rainbow, plus the grain, grass and ordnance we sent him are enough for him to resist Cao Cao for two to three days, right?

When the results of their fight come out, Wen Hou personally led a strong team to suddenly kill, and the Cao army will be defeated! ”

Wonderful

Lu Bu put the teacup in his mouth, but he seemed to forget to put it in his mouth, savoring Jia Xu's words.

This is completely ignoring Liu Bei's life and death, using him to exhaust Cao Cao's military strength, and finally reaping the benefits of the fisherman, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a plan.

"How's the middle policy?" Lu Bu took a sip of tea and looked at Jia Xu.

"The middle strategy, attack its military village. At present, it is not the time to send troops to attack the city, but Cao Cao did this, there is only one explanation, the siege is a bait, he has another purpose, after thinking about it, what can threaten our army should be as Gongtai said to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and set up an ambush in Donglinkou.

Therefore, we don't have to care about Liu Bei's life or death, and we don't have to go to Donglinkou and go straight to his military village.

Immediately, a feint attack with thousands of troops can be carried out, and if it is not ambushed, the army will launch a general attack; If it is designed to lead our army to a sneak attack, at least it can also spread the military information to Cao Cao, play a deterrent role, and slow down his siege. ”

Lu Bu looked straight at Jia Xu, his eyes were complicated, Zi Yang also said the same, but it didn't seem to be as thoughtful as Jia Xu thought.

However, this approach also has drawbacks, and if you lead your army to leave, won't your camp be empty?

Then didn't I gamble on the lives of the three armies for Liu Bei.

"What to do?" Lu Bu moved his buttocks, put down the teacup, and looked at Jia Xu seriously.

Jia Xu sighed and accentuated his tone a little, "The next strategy is to ask Wen Hou to quickly lead his troops to Donglinkou, which is the only place where an ambush may be set up, so even if General Wei is ambushed, Cao Jun will definitely not think that there is a team of men and horses galloping behind us." ”

"Rushing to Donglinkou"

Lu Bu repeated what the other party had said, and he didn't think it was alarmist, "Is it so serious?" ”

Jia Xu sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head: "It can be concluded that the Cao army must have an ambush, but it is impossible to determine for sure whether the ambush point is in the camp or in Donglinkou, but for the sake of safety, Wen Hou should take the troops to take a look, if it is too peaceful, you can also feel at ease." ”

There is some truth to this.

Jia Xu's best strategy is too vicious and does not emphasize martial virtues, but it is extremely beneficial to his own side.

In the middle strategy, the gambling is too big, and if you are not careful, you will either be defeated by the other party, or the rear camp will be stolen.

Of course, these are just some ideas that exist in my mind, Wei Yue has already led his troops to fight, and it is impossible to change it into Jia Xu's best or middle policy, the military order is like a mountain, how can the order be changed overnight?

But this is the third policy

Lu Bu got up slowly, cradling his chin and thinking.

The uneasiness that has been faint before, is it really from Donglinkou?

He was right, take a look at the past, if there is really any situation, you can also take action, if there is nothing to do, it will be okay to come back again, and you should go out to inspect the terrain.

"Good! Wenhe, I'll go and order troops and go to Donglinkou! Lu Bu, who finally made up his mind, felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"Thank you Wen Hou for your trust."

Jia Xu knew that without Lin Mo, there would be no Lu Bu today, although it was not like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.

But in addition to him Lin Yunwen, there are also Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Lu Su and others, in terms of merit and feelings, they are all above themselves, Lu Bu still followed his own advice, thinking that he really needs courage and a firm heart.

Lu Bu left, the red robe of Xichuan Hundred Flowers was as dazzling as it was back then, Jia Xu raised his eyes and muttered, "It's a little smelly."

Jia Xu has always understood that an overlord who is destined to make great achievements in troubled times is not only relying on the assistance of a certain person, but also relying on his own talent.

Without Qi Huangong, Guan Zhong's talent may not be able to leave a name.

Without Emperor Gaozu, Han Xin could have always been a halberd.

He's also always looking for someone who can stop him in his tracks.

Lu Bu

It's a little smelly.
