Chapter 68 Victory in the first battle
Zhang Fei smiled. After receiving the command arrow, he patted his chest and shouted in a loud voice, "Military advisor, please look at me, Lao Zhang!" After that, he took a few steps back and stood side by side with Guan Yu.
After Zhang Fei expressed his determination, the tension at the scene was slightly reduced, and everyone smiled. Even Liu Bei couldn't help but smile, but Guan Yu was still serious.
Finally, Xu Shu bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, you lead Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, lead two thousand troops and send troops to meet him head-on, and the enemy can be defeated."
Liu Bei had dozens of battles, but he had no qualified military advisors who had always been qualified. He was all dispatching troops and generals himself. Although Guan Yu helped him, he was inevitably confused and often missed one thing. Naturally, he lost more and won less.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was not arrogant and despicable in victory, and his ability to use troops was getting higher and higher. This is also the reason why General Guan, Zhang and Zhao were very convinced.
This time, Liu Bei said that Xu Shu had arranged the arrangement, but in his heart, he also had a complete plan, but it did not reveal it.
In his heart, he compared Xu Shu’s arrangement with his own plan, and now he knew that he had met an expert!
Because Xu Shu's arrangement not only fully reflects Liu Bei's tactical intentions, but also becomes more rigorous, which is foolproof!
Although there was nothing wrong with Xu Shu's arrangement, Guan and Zhang accepted Xu Shu's military order, but did not make a move immediately. Instead, they stood aside and waited for Liu Bei's explanation before they rectified the troops and left!
Originally, Liu Bei had tens of thousands of troops in the training camp in the mountains. Although he was half a recruit and half a veteran, he was still in the process of training, but he was already able to fight.
This time, Xu Shu dispatched troops and only used the five thousand elite soldiers in Xinye County, of which only 4,000 went out of the city to fight, and one thousand soldiers guarded the city.
Ma Su knew in his heart that Xu Shu had also left a hand. It seemed that after defeating Erji, he had already dug a hole and was waiting for Cao Ren to come and jump into the hole!
Ma Su was just a little bitched by Liu Bei's army. Although Xu Shu was willing to recommend him to be his assistant, he neither solicited Ma Su's opinions nor received Liu Bei's consent, so he did not arrange an appointment!
The battlefield was dangerous, and Ma Su wanted to go to the battlefield with Xu Shu, so naturally he got Liu Bei's approval.
Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and Zhao Yun and Chen Dao rectified the troops and horses, led a total of 2,000 troops to go to the way Cao's army came to meet.
Ma Su did not bring a mount at first, but as Xu Shu's junior, Liu Bei treated it particularly preferentially and arranged a docile old horse.
Xu Shu was two horses behind Liu Bei and walked side by side with Ma Su. This was Xu Shu's first battle after he became a student. It would be lie to say that he was not nervous!
Along the way, Xu Shu kept speculating on the battlefield and made some adaptation arrangements in advance, saying that he knew about Ma Su and sought Ma Su's opinions.
Ma Su came this time mainly because he had gained his knowledge. Now that he has listened to Xu Shu’s arrangements, there is nothing wrong with it.
Ma Su, a bystander, also saw the tension in Xu Shu's heart. Naturally, he would not point out a few details, but kept giving thumbs up to relieve Xu Shu's concerns!
Although Ma Su has not officially become Xu Shu's assistant, he has already performed his duties in advance. Although he may not necessarily need to go to the battlefield to fight, he must go to the battlefield.
Ma Su returned to the inn, took his spear, then got on the horse, followed closely behind Xu Shu, like a guard!
In less than a meal, the team walked out of Xinye and walked for a few miles. They saw the footsteps of the mountain rising. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang led their troops to the place. After the formation of both sides, they shot at the corners of the formation.
As the main general, Liu Bei wanted to declare his sovereignty, stood under the flag gate, and shouted to the opposite side: "Here you are a general, how dare you violate my territory?"
Brother Lu Kuang and Liu Bei were old acquaintances. They were both under Yuan Shao's account back then. Although they didn't have much dealing with each other, they were still very familiar with Liu Bei's magnetic voice. They rode a few steps forward and replied loudly:
"Liu Bei heard it clearly. I am the general under Prime Minister Cao's command, Lu Kuang. I will come to capture you at the order of Prime Minister Cao!"
When Xuande heard this, Lu Kuang spoke a little loudly! He was a little angry. After all, he was also the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty. Lu Kuang, a surrendered general, dared to call himself a general and claimed to be a general.
Although he could send Zhao Yun to capture and kill Lu Kuang, Liu Bei was known for his kindness and righteousness, so he could not do anything that would be punished without teaching.
Liu Bei's eyes turned and decided to argue with him first to dampen Cao's aura.
So, Liu Bei pretended to be shocked and asked in a lost voice: "Is it possible that the Lu brothers, the general under Yuan Benchu, were in person? Why did he fight for Cao Cao?"
Although the Lu Kuang brothers were military generals, they were also versatile figures. When they heard Liu Bei's tone, they knew that Liu Bei wanted to make a fuss about his brother being a surrendered general, slander his reputation and reduce the morale of the army. They could not let him succeed. Lu Kuang said loudly:
"Liu Xuande, you don't have to use words to squeeze me out. Although we are old acquaintances, we have no friendship. It's useless to show off our verbal power? It's still a real sword and a gun come!
Lu Kuang was afraid that Liu Bei would say something even more unpleasant. After saying it, he did not wait for Liu Bei to answer. He held a gun in his hands and rode forward, shouting: "Liu Bei, do you dare to fight me?"
Obviously, Lu Kuang equated his identity with Liu Bei because he believed that under Yuan Shao's account, his brother's status was still above Liu Bei!
When Liu Bei saw that Lu Kuang had to block his words, he actually raised his identity and wanted to fight him one-on-one. He couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "Just because of you, Lu Kuang, you are not worthy of fighting with me, so naturally someone will go against you!"
After saying this, Liu Bei turned his head and drank, "Where is Zilong?"
Zhao Yun replied in a loud voice: "The last general is here. Lord, wait for a moment and see me capture and kill the thief general on the opposite side!"
Zhao Yun naturally understood that it was time for him to take action! He didn't talk nonsense, and rode out and just met Lu Kuang. The two generals raised their guns together and fought in a regiment!
As soon as the two sides fought, Lu Kuang was secretly shocked. He had heard of Zhao Zilong's reputation in Changshan for a long time, and he could not defeat it, but he could still do it if he wanted to escape unstoppable.
But this time he miscalculated. Zhao Yun's martial arts could not be resisted by a second-rate general like him. Moreover, Zhao Yun deliberately wanted his life this time and took out his full ability as soon as he came up.
Zhao Yun's gun was as fast as lightning, and it was very powerful. Only a few rounds did Lu Kuang unable to resist it, so he turned his horse's head and ran away. Zhao Yun caught up from behind. With a lightning shot, he stabbed him under the horse, and he was almost unable to survive!
Xu Shu, who was watching the formation in the formation gate, saw Zhao Yun killing the general and making contributions, and finally let go of his heart!
He used Zhao Yun to fight against the enemy head-on instead of Guan and Zhang. In addition to being difficult to dispatch, it was also because the two were too famous!
I was afraid that when they showed up, the enemy generals could not retreat when they were fighting each other, so they had to fight a tough battle. Although they could still win, the soldiers' battle losses were quite large!
In the era of cold weapons, the tactics of capturing thieves and kings are still the most effective tactics. Once the enemy leader is killed by the formation, it can almost be announced that the battle has been won...
The chief general of the Cao army was killed in the blink of an eye. The Cao army soldiers were disgraced. Many people had turned around and fled. Xuande seized the right time, and then he blocked the army and killed it, and Cao's army was defeated.
Lu Xiang, who was surfing behind, expected that he could not resist Zhao Yun, and did not dare to force himself to avenge his brother. He led the army to turn over and leave. Other soldiers rushed to escape.
