Chapter 52: Divergence
"I have decided to go out of the city to meet the imperial army!"
After Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, his first sentence shocked everyone.
"General! No! If you abandon Chang'an City and go out to fight, it is tantamount to a tiger swimming in the water! How could the general be like this! β
After Gao Shun heard Lu Bu's words, he could no longer keep his composure, he didn't know what kind of illness Lu Bu had committed when he went out this time, and he dared to go out to fight with the imperial army.
The imperial army is now winning three battles and three victories, and the morale is at its highest.
After hearing this, Lu Bu's face became a little gloomy, and he just waved his hand and motioned for Gao Shun to sit down.
Thinking in his heart, Gao Shun rarely talks on weekdays, but this time he said so much but against himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.
Although Gao Shun was very loyal to Lu Bu, Lu Bu did not reuse Gao Shun.
Gao Shun is innocent, dignified, does not drink, is not gifted, and rarely speaks.
This is almost a complete contrast with Lu Bu, Gao Shun is innocent, and Lu Bu backstabbed his father-in-law.
Gao Shun does not drink, and Lu Bu is almost addicted to alcohol.
Gao Shun is not a gift, and Lu Bu can kill his father for a gift.
Gao Shun never said those words to please Lu Bu, but just did things silently.
And when Lu Bu was a righteous son, he said everything.
This made Lu Bu know that Gao Shun was very talented, but he always felt that Gao Shun was not a person from the same way, so he had always been estranged from Gao Shun.
Even the trapping camp under Gao Shun is usually not led by Gao Shun, but by Cao Xing.
Until the start of the war, the trapped camp will be handed over to Gao Shun, and it can be said that Gao Shun is extremely guarded.
But now there are eight strong generals under his command, and only this Gao Shun can be regarded as a general.
Even if Gao Shun was rude to him again, he didn't want to conflict with Gao Shun at this time.
"Don't worry, Peping, although the morale of the imperial army is high now, the number of people is not much, only 30,000, after the third war, I am afraid that there are only 20,000, and I have an army of 50,000!"
"The morale of the imperial army is all due to the presence of the Son of Heaven in person, if I lead a team of flying horses to repel the Son of Heaven, the imperial army will be self-defeating."
"And most of the soldiers I led are merging with the state, but the cavalry is the mainstay, and the cavalry of the imperial army is only 3,000, if the city is defended, the cavalry is no different from the infantry, but if it is out of the city to meet the attack, you can break the enemy in the field according to the momentum of the cavalry!"
Lu Bu told his judgments one by one, Lu Bu not only has an extremely high force value, but also has a high ability to fight a battle.
Since he was a child, he has been fighting with the Hu people, and his more than ten years of battlefield career has allowed Lu Bu to have his own judgment on the battlefield.
After listening to this, Gao Shun spoke again.
"General, no! The imperial army has repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak, and it is better to rely on the defense of Chang'an City, and it is not too late to make plans after finding out the reality of the enemy. β
Gao Shun naturally also understood that the imperial army was logically in a weak position.
But after these three wars, the imperial army won all of them, which made Gao Shun unable to understand.
Since you can't figure it out, it's better to rely on the tall city wall of Chang'an first, find out the reality of the imperial court, and then make plans.
And Gao Shun really didn't believe it, the more than 20,000 troops of the imperial court dared to break Chang'an, which was garrisoned by 50,000 troops.
As long as the city is gathered and defended, the imperial army will soon retreat, and then it will naturally turn the corner.
Why go out of the city and take the risk to fight against the imperial army?
Seeing Gao Shun like this, the little patience that Lu Bu had just mentioned was worn out again.
Lu Bu originally wanted Gao Shun to take the 700 trapping camp as arrows and rush straight to the imperial army, while he led the cavalry to detour to the flank of the imperial court to attack.
At that time, the head and tail of the imperial army will not be able to care for each other, and then it will be broken.
But now that Gao Shun has repeatedly opposed, Lu Bu has become a little impatient.
"Then you can take the trapped camp to guard Chang'an."
As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, he walked out, his expression obviously very unhappy.
Gao Shun wanted to say something when he saw this, but finally closed his mouth again.
Whether he is treated by Lu Bu or not, Gao Shun knows better than anyone else.
Lu Bu was originally full of interest, but after being poured two basins of cold water by Gao Shun, his original interest was gone, and he only felt that Gao Shun was really annoying.
I couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in my heart, and at the same time, I was even more eager for this big victory.
Lu Bu wants to prove that he is right this time, and he wants to throw this victory in Gao Shun's face and let Gao Shun know that he is right.
LΓΌ Bu began to dispatch troops in Chang'an City, and at the same time the army was ready to go on the expedition.
Just when the army was about to set out, Gao Shun came to Lu Bu's tent again.
"General, it's better for me to take the trap camp and charge the battle first, and the general will wait and see before making plans."
Lu Bu's expression was full of arrogance, and he couldn't listen to Gao Shun's suggestion.
"No, Peping just needs to keep Chang'an, and Peping doesn't have to think about the rest."
Lu Bu waved his hand and motioned for Gao Shun to go out.
Seeing this, Gao Shun could only arch his hand helplessly, and then walked out.
At the same time, not far from Chang'an, in Xiatai, the imperial army was stationed in Xiatai.
Xiatai is also the later Weinan, Xiaqi north and south mountains, and close to the Yellow River, so the terrain is excellent, Jia Xu suggested that the forest should be stationed here.
"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is already mobilizing troops and preparing to come to meet us."
Jia Xu took a letter, came to Lin Mu's side, and handed the letter to Lin Mu.
After Lin Mu took the letter, he nodded.
"This Lu Bu abandoned the city to attack, but it was my wish."
Jia Xu glanced at Lin Mu with some hesitation before he said.
"Your Majesty should not underestimate Lu Bu, when this person was merging the state, he fought several bloody battles with Hu and defeated hundreds of thousands of Hu people."
Jia Xu's home is in Xiliang, and he is most familiar with the movements of these Hu people.
Therefore, when Lu Bu defeated the Hu people, Jia Xu had more or less heard of it.
In addition, Jia Xu had also worked with Lu Bu for a period of time, and he was also very familiar with Lu Bu's force.
In Jia Xu's opinion, although Lin Mu is strong, Lu Bu is not weak.
Moreover, the army under Lu Bu is much more than the army of the imperial court.
The most important thing is that the cavalry under Lu Bu is definitely not to be underestimated.
Jia Xu's judgment was not wrong, Lu Bu was able to run rampant and descend and rebel, rebel and surrender, and still jump for more than ten years, and the army under his command was very successful.
Lin Mu threw the letter aside in his hand and smiled softly.
"So what?"
Jia Xu looked at Lin Mu dumbly, not knowing what to say.
"What if he's a pilot? What if he has the courage of a tiger? β
"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be afraid of it!"
After Lin Mu finished speaking, he walked towards the middle of Xiaqi City.
