Chapter 289 Reckless Lu Bu
"Xu Shu, you are really capable. You have guessed the lord's strategy!" In the majestic hall of Yanzhou, Lu Bu smiled with the urgent letter he had just sent.
Xu Shu smiled slightly and asked, "What do you say to lord?"
"The lord has ordered Zhang Fei to lead the First Legion to Yanzhou..." When talking about Zhang Fei, Lu Bu raised his lips and continued: "At the same time, he ordered Zhang He to lead the 40,000 soldiers under his command to enter Wuchao, order Ma Chao to leave Baima and march Liang County, and order our army to remain unmoved!"
Xu Shu nodded and asked again: "What did the lord say to our team's performance?"
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The lord didn't say this in the letter."
Xu Shu sighed lightly and guessed: "My lord is afraid he is very dissatisfied with our army's performance some time ago!" Logically speaking, Chen Chu should have praised the performance of Lu Bu's troops in his letter to the Feige of Lu Bu's troops. If not, it means that Chen Chu is very dissatisfied with the performance of Lu Bu's troops.
Lu Bu, who had always been arrogant, became silent when he heard this. Some time ago, the army he led was indeed very bad. He first hit the enemy's plan, although this was not their fault to a large extent, and then he was dragged down by Li Dian's troops and failed to defeat Li Dian's troops, whose troops were at an absolute disadvantage.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be ridiculed by that ordinary man Zhang Fei again!" After a while of silence, Lu Bu suddenly said something like this. Xu Shu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he looked amused and crying. Lu Bu was still thinking about these things.
Lu Bu looked at Xu Shu, his eyes shining. Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Xu Shu, we must make up for our merits!"
Xu Shu swallowed his saliva and asked, "What are you going to do? You can't do it randomly!"
"Didn't you say that Yuan Shao must have made some deals with Cao Cao? He also said that Yuan Shao would definitely seize the territory of Yanzhou when Cao's army and our army had no time to take care of each other?" Lu Bu asked two questions in a row.
Xu Shu nodded in confusion. He didn't understand what Lu Bu wanted to do.
Lu Bu raised his chin and continued: "Ma Chao rushed from Baima to Liangjun, the journey was long; and we were much closer to Liangjun! It was better than..."
Xu Shu was shocked, interrupted Lu Bu and asked anxiously: "You are planning to send troops to Liang County? No, no!"
Lu Bu glared at his eyes, "Why can't it?"
"Fengxian, don't forget that the order given to us by the lord is to keep the troops unmoved. Besides, if our army leaves Yanzhou, what should we do if the defense of Yanzhou? You must know that there are still Cao Cao's army of tens of thousands!"
Lu Bu glared at Xu Shu with his eyes bulging, and Xu Shu stared back without any concession.
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Lu Bu suddenly said, "I only need to bring five thousand light cavalry to the place. You can lead the main force to stay in Yanzhou."
Xu Shu frowned and asked, "If the main force of Yuan Shao's army arrives in Liang County, what do you do?"
"I regard Yuan Jun as a mustard!"
Xu Shu was anxious, "Fengxian, you must not be reckless!"
Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, "Okay! I've decided!"
After afternoon that day, Lu Bu assembled five thousand light cavalry and prepared to leave the city. Xu Shu still tried to dissuade him, but Lu Bu was unmoved at all.
Lu Bu led 5,000 light cavalry out of Yanzhou and headed south to Liangjun hundreds of miles away. Xu Shu could not dissuade Lu Bu, so he had to send a letter to Chen Chufa, who was in Yecheng.
At this time, everyone didn't know that Lu Bu's seemingly reckless action this time had accidentally recovered a considerable loss for Chen Chu.
While Lu Bu led his army to Liang County, an army of 50,000 people was also heading to Liang County. This army set out from Qiao County, and they were undoubtedly Yuan Shao's army, and the leader was Yuan Shao's confidant general Han Meng.
Yuan Shao's army set out one day before Lu Bu's army, but Yuan Shao's army was basically infantry. Although Lu Bu was one day late, he led all light cavalry. So, it was still unknown whether the army arrived at Liang County first.
Lu Bu led the light cavalry to speed through the prefecture and entered Liang County when it was near noon the next day.
At this moment, Han Meng led the...
The 50,000 army has also entered Liang County, and two thousand vanguard cavalry are about to arrive at Liang County.
The two cavalry teams quickly approached the same target, and half an hour later, they suddenly met on the field outside Liangjun City.
Both soldiers on both sides were stunned. Lu Bu first reacted, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the orders, follow me to assault!"
After speaking, Lu Bu shouted loudly and rushed out first. Then the five thousand light cavalry shouted fiercely, following Lu Bu to sweep towards the other side's cavalry.
Facing the whistling cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army, Yuan Shao's army was immediately panicked.
Five thousand iron cavalry roared into Yuan Shao's army, and immediately killed Yuan Shao's army so hard that they flew with blood.
Lu Bu flipped Fang Tian's painting halberd, and no one could stop him from crossing him, and he rode alone into the depths of the opponent and took the opponent's leading generals.
The Yuan army general hurriedly fought. In just one round, Lu Bu knocked down his weapons and picked them up from the war horse. Seeing this, the Yuan army soldiers around him were shocked and fled around in a hurry.
Lu Bu carried the body of the Yuan army general and shouted loudly. Seeing that the main general was killed, the morale of the Yuan army immediately returned to zero and the entire army was disintegrated.
Facing the Yuan army cavalry who fled in a hurry, Lu Bu did not chase after him. Lu Bu did not blindly chase the enemy's defeated soldiers, showing that he was much more mature and sophisticated than before.
Lu Bu stood proudly, and his subordinates grabbed a prisoner and came to Lu Bu. He threw it on the ground and shouted, "Kneel down!"
The captive was frightened and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
"Say, whose army are you?"
"If you go back to General, we are General Yuan's army." The captive replied tremblingly.
"General Yuan? Are you talking about Yuan Shao?"
"Yes, yes, it's Yuan Shao, it's Yuan Shao." The captive raised his head and suddenly saw the general of the North Army who was ferocious in front of him. He was shocked and quickly lowered his head.
"How many people have you come?" Lu Bu asked again.
"Fifty thousand troops, led by General Han Meng."
If other generals heard this number, they would frown and show a look of worry; but Lu Bu's expression was as usual, as if the prisoners were not talking about 50,000 troops, but 50,000 pigs.
Lu Bu ordered a captain to lead 500 cavalry into Liang County first, and then faced a captain in front of the prisoner and said, "Send someone to order General Ma Chao's 100,000 troops to speed up." Then, Lu Bu said to the captain, "Go back and tell Han Meng, if you want to survive, stay away!" The captain Viviyingnuo, and then, Lu Bu ordered people to release the captain.
Lu Bu touched his chin, showed a smug smile on his face, and said in his heart: The lord always says that I don’t know how to use a plan. I will use a plan today so that the lord and the public will look at each other with admiration!
Lu Bu was playing a clever trick here, and he wanted to create the illusion that a large army was coming, but his technique seemed quite rough.
Five hundred cavalrymen rushed into the unguarded Liangjun. The iron hooves clattered on the streets, and the people hid in the houses, staring at the legendary army through the cracks and windows of the doors and windows with complex expressions.
After the cavalry entered the city, they first controlled the treasury, but the treasury was empty, not even a grain of food. This was not surprising. Cao Cao's men were withdrawn, of course, to take away what could be taken away, and to destroy what could not be taken away. How could it leave a trace of it for the recipient?
The cavalry then closed the four gates, posted notices of the people in the streets and alleys, and implemented martial law on the whole city.
Lu Bu led more than 4,000 cavalry to about five miles south of Liang County. The official road leads directly to Liang County. There is a sparse forest on the right and a small hill with high and low heights on the left. The hills are covered with shrubs, revealing mottled green.
Lu Bu led 4,000 cavalry to form a formation carelessly, and seemed very arrogant.
At this time, a few miles away from Lu Bu, the 50,000 army led by Han Meng was moving northward without any haste. Han Meng marched in the middle of the team with his head held high, looking very energetic.
Suddenly, a cavalry came towards each other from the front. The captain who was marching at the front of the team immediately ordered his subordinates to be on guard. The soldiers stopped, stepped forward with swords, shields, and crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows. The knight rushed closer. The captain raised his hand and sang: "Stop!"
The knight rushed to pull the war horse out of more than ten steps. The war horse was suddenly under force and neighed and stood up.
The knight turned over and dismounted, ran to the captain and said anxiously: "I am the small school of the vanguard cavalry, and there is an emergency military information to report to General Han!"
After a moment.
"What? The vanguard cavalry was wiped out? My vanguard general was killed by the opponent?" Han Meng showed a look of surprise, his mouth was open, revealing the big yellow teeth inside. At this moment, the one kneeling in front of Han Meng was the captive who had been let go by Lu Bu before. His identity was a small school of the vanguard cavalry.
"Who is the other party?" Han Meng asked urgently.
"The Northern Army! They are the Northern Army!" The small school seemed to think of something terrible, and a look of horror appeared on its face.
Han Meng was not too surprised by this. He asked, "How many people have they come?" When he asked this, Han Meng's face was a little careless. He probably thought that even if the Northern Army could come, it could only be a small force.
The school swallowed with difficulty and whispered: "The army of the Northern Expedition has arrived at a hundred thousand troops. The leading general is Lu Bu and the Ma Chao who injured Xu Huang."
