Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 174 Major Events
Sun Qian said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, the two generals are outstanding in martial arts. They fought in and out of thousands of armies, and they didn't take it seriously. It's really admirable."

Speaking of this, Sun Gan cupped his hands to Liu Bei, "Mr. Liu, if the two generals can kill Ji Ling in the tens of thousands of troops, the enemy army will be in chaos."

Hearing this, Jian Yong hastily waved his hands, "Gongyou, last time Ji Ling was scared out of his wits by General Guan, how dare he have the courage to fight, I'm afraid this plan is not right."

Sun Qian smiled slightly, "General Guan did scare Ji Ling last time. They also know whether General Guan's martial arts can be resisted by them. If General Guan is allowed to fight, they may not dare to fight.

However, if General Zhang plays, they may be fooled if they don't know General Zhang's martial arts. "

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile, "Brother, I think this method is very good, let me fight, and I will definitely behead Ji Ling's head."

At this moment, Liu Bei had no choice but to nod in agreement.

……

Liu Bei led the army out of the city to fight, and just arrived not far away, he heard the sound of horns in the distance, and then, the gate of the barracks was opened, and groups of soldiers ran out quickly from the gate.

After Yuan Shujun's soldiers ran out, they quickly stood in square formation, ready to meet the enemy.

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shu's army lined up with swords and guns, neatly formed, and covered in darkness, like dark clouds covering the sky, covering the earth, and was shocked. Thinking of the defeat in the last battle, cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.

Zhang Fei was not afraid at all. When he saw the enemy coming out of the camp, he immediately galloped to the front of the formation and shouted, "Ji Ling, how dare you come out and fight."

When Ji Ling heard Zhang Fei's roar, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With the experience of fighting Guan Yu last time, it is impossible for him to fight now no matter what.

And this black guy doesn't look easy to mess with, if his martial arts are almost the same as Guan Yu's, wouldn't it be terrible if he went to fight by himself!

Although Ji Ling became cautious, the lieutenant Chen Lan, who hadn't participated in the battle last time, might be furious.

"General Ji, this black man is really unreasonable, how about letting the last general fight and behead him?"

Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "General Chen, be careful in everything, and if there is any accident, come back quickly, understand?"

Chen Lan was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "The general will understand."

In Chen Lan's ears, Ji Ling's earnest words were just words of concern, and he didn't take them to heart.

Chen Lan jumped up and raised his gun, and rushed towards Zhang Fei who was in the middle of the two formations.

"That black man, don't be rude, watch me, Chen Lan, come to fight you!"

Hearing the name Chen Lan, Zhang Fei waved his hands disdainfully, "Chen Lan, go back and let Ji Ling come out, so Grandpa Zhang can kill him!"

Chen Lan was so angry at Zhang Fei's words that she roared angrily, and the spear in her hand pierced like lightning, heading straight for Zhang Fei's throat.

This black guy is really hateful, so let's seal his throat first.

When Zhang Fei saw that Chen Lan dared to rush over and took the lead, he was furious, his eyes were wide open, and with a roar, he suddenly raised the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand.

"Chen Lan, since you are so rude, Grandpa Zhang will give you a ride."

Seeing Chen Lan's weapon stabbing towards him, Zhang Fei pulled out the Zhangba Snake Spear vigorously, and slammed down heavily while the tip of the spear was in the air.

"what!"

Chen Lan was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged, but she avoided her head, but not her shoulders. She screamed when she was hit, and fell heavily on the horse's back.

Zhang Fei turned his horse's head and wanted to deal with Chen Lan, but Chen Lan had already run away.

"Damn it, you have no guts, you dare to run, come back quickly, and fight Grandpa Zhang for 300 rounds."

Chen Lan only felt that she had lost feeling in her shoulders, so she didn't dare to turn her head back. She ran back to the formation and said with shame when she saw Ji Ling.

"General Ji, the last general is incompetent and was defeated by this black fellow."

Ji Ling saw that Zhang Fei's martial arts were by no means inferior to Guan Yu's, and knew that the defeat was not wronged, so how could he blame him.

"General Chen, I don't blame you for this matter, go down and rest."

After saying this, Ji Ling turned his head to look at Zhang Fei who was still yelling, shouted coldly, and was about to order an attack when suddenly, a war horse galloped into the camp, shouting loudly.

"what!"

"The Xuzhou soldiers and horses who came for reinforcements are already less than ten miles away from here."

Hearing the news from the spies, Ji Ling was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

"There is absolutely nothing wrong, I have seen it clearly."

Ji Ling froze for a moment, then shouted, "Shrink the formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"

If it was only Liu Bei's army, Ji Ling was sure to defeat him with the large number of troops, but if Xuzhou's troops were added, the outcome would be between five and five, so he had to be cautious.

At the same time, Liu Bei on the opposite side also heard the news and was immediately overjoyed. He immediately ordered me to call Zhang Fei back, and at the same time made a defensive formation and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.

Just as they were expecting, everyone saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, the sound of horseshoes rumbling, and a group of soldiers and horses slowly approaching from a distance.

"Hahaha, that's great, Cao Mengde really sent troops to help."

"This time our army can be saved!"

Ji Ling, who was standing on the other side, saw Cao Jun's soldiers and horses coming from a distance, and his heart suddenly lifted up. At the same time, he felt a little dissatisfied because he had already made an agreement when he was in Huainan.

Cao Mengde accepted the food from Huainan, and at the same time promised that he would never interfere with the attack on Xiaopei, but who would have thought that he would make a slip of the tongue.

Just when Ji Ling was furious, someone came to report, "General Ji, Xuzhou soldiers and horses sent a letter and wanted to invite the general to meet."

Lei Bo hurriedly stopped him, "General, you must not go there. If Cao Jun has a plan, wouldn't he just fall into it?"

At this point, Lei Bo cupped his hands, "General Ji, if you fall into the trap, the army will be in chaos.

It's better to let the last general go to inquire about the news of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses. "

Hearing this, Ji Ling was moved, "But if you go, won't you be in danger?"

Lei Bo waved his hand, "If Xuzhou troops attack the last general, as long as General Ji is around and the morale of the army remains stable, our army will have a chance to win.

And as long as our army is stable, Xuzhou soldiers and horses will not dare to attack the last general easily. "

Hearing this, Ji Ling thought for a while and felt that it made sense. He nodded, "In this case, General Lei, I will trouble you to go this time. Be careful and don't act emotionally."

Lei Bo hurriedly cupped his hands, turned and left, and after a while, he led a group of soldiers and horses towards Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

When Lei Bo arrived at the central tent of the Xuzhou army camp, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the three brothers Liu Bei sitting opposite him.

But it is a pity that the door has been guarded by Xia Houdun and others, and it is not so easy to exit.

Lei Bo had no choice but to walk into the big tent of the Chinese army, and bowed his hands to Cao Cao who was sitting in the main seat.

"Duke Cao, you asked me to come here, do you want Liu Bei and others to do something to me?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile, "General Lei, why would I do such a thing? This time, I came here for no other reason than to make the two of you reconcile so as not to fight again!"

Lei Bo shook his head and said, "Don't say anything, Mr. Cao. Liu Xuande is here to recruit troops and wants to use troops against Huainan, which made my lord angry, so he sent a large number of troops to attack Xiaopei. I hope Mr. Cao will ignore this matter to avoid getting into trouble." Upper body.”

Dian Wei, who was standing next to Cao Cao, saw Lei Bo being so rude and snorted coldly. He stepped forward and grabbed Lei Bo. With one hand, he lifted him off the ground.

"Who are you, you dare to be rude to my master, believe it or not, tear you into 8 pieces!"

Lei Bo saw that Dian Wei was so strong that he was powerless to parry, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Duke Cao, save me."

Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't back down, don't be rude to General Lei."

When Dian Wei heard Cao Cao's order, he let go with a cold hum and retreated to the back.

Cao Cao pointed to the outside of the barracks, and asked with a big smile, "General Lei, you just came to our barracks, how about my soldiers and horses?"

Lei Bo remembered the soldiers and horses he saw just now, and nodded, "Mr. Cao's subordinates are all elite!"

The smile on Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, "General Lei, if our army joins forces with Liu Shijun, can you be sure of victory?"

Lei Bo silently shook his head, "No!"

Cao Cao said slowly, "General Lei, why don't you retreat now and tell Gonglu what you just said, he will definitely not blame you."

Hearing this, Lei Bo turned his head to look at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei, sighed, and then cupped his hands.

"Mr. Cao, this is a very serious matter. The general dare not make the decision. He needs to go back and discuss with General Ji."

Seeing Lei Bo's expression, Cao Cao knew that he already had the intention to retreat, so he nodded, "Then please trouble General Lei."

Lei Bo left in a hurry, returned to the barracks, saw Ji Ling, and told him about it.

"General Ji, Cao Mengde came here this time to make our army retreat, what do you think we should do?"

Ji Ling gritted his teeth and roared, "It's really hateful, Cao Mengde didn't believe what he said, it's really shameful!"

Lei Bo nodded, "However, if Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande join forces, it will be really bad for our army."

Hearing this, Ji Ling gradually frowned. After a long time, he turned to look at Lei Bo and asked slowly, "General Lei, what do you think?"

Lei Bo thought for a while, and tentatively said, "Cao Mengde said that if you tell the Lord what he said, you shouldn't blame us."

Hearing this, Ji Ling fully understood Lei Bo's thoughts and nodded, "That's fine. Our army retreats. If the lord blames him, let him blame Cao Mengde."

Early in the morning of the second day, the Huainan army left the camp and returned the same way.

……

"what!"

Snapped!
When Yuan Shu heard Ji Ling's words, he smashed a crystal cup bought with a lot of money to pieces, and roared angrily.

"Cao Mengde, you villain, you have accepted so much food from me, and now you dare to help Liu Bei's son, it is really hateful."

Having said that, Yuan Shu snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Mengde, I want to attack Xiaopei, but I dare to stop it. Hello, I will attack Xuzhou directly."

Ji Ling hastily cupped his hands, "My lord, absolutely not. Although the three brothers Liu Bei are weak, Cao Mengde has numerous generals and strong troops. If he wants to capture Xuzhou, he must worry about Liu Bei coming to help. I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and roared, "Can this be settled like this? If word gets out, wouldn't it make everyone in the world laugh at me and think that I am afraid of him, Cao Mengde."

Hearing this, Ji Ling trembled and was speechless for a while.

At this moment, Yang Hong walked out from the side, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, calm down."

Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Yang Hong, and snorted coldly, "Yang Zong, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Yang Hong smiled slightly, "My lord has been operating in Huainan for many years. The land is vast and the food is abundant, and the people are convinced. Now that I have the jade seal in my hand, I dare to ask my lord to ascend the throne."

As long as the lord ascends to the throne, the common people will admire him, all the people will submit to him, and command the world!
At that time, as long as the lord gives an order, he can justifiably send troops to Xuzhou to drive Cao Mengde away, wouldn't it be beautiful! "

Hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help laughing, "Yang Zong, do you think this is the best time to ascend the throne?"

Yang Hong clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Now the people can't wait, this is the best time, don't miss it."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and was about to speak when Yan Xiang hurriedly stood up and said loudly, "My lord, absolutely not."

Seeing Yan Xiang stopping him again, Yuan Shu was unhappy, and asked coldly, "Master Yan, why not?"

Yan Xiang hurriedly cupped his hands, and patiently persuaded, "My lord, the tyranny of King Qin caused chaos in the world. Although the Han Dynasty is weak now, there is no violence. If he ascends the throne at this time, the whole world will be dissatisfied.

At that time, needless to say, the crusade against Xuzhou, I am afraid that the main attack will have become the target of public criticism, and he will be in trouble by then! "

Hearing this, Yuan Shu was immediately furious, "My Yuan family is noble, originally descended from Chen, and my minister is after Shun, and I am following the trend of heaven, why not!"

Yan Xiang's face changed, and he waved his hands hastily, "My lord, absolutely not, otherwise it will lead to disaster."

Hearing this, Yuan Shu couldn't bear it any longer, and roared, "Come on, drive him out."

Yan Xiang wanted to persuade him again, but the soldiers who rushed in had already pushed him out.

Some people saw this, and there were still people who dared to go. The ministers who agreed immediately jumped out and praised the move. Those who wanted to oppose it could only bow their heads and remain silent when they saw Yan Xiang's fate.

Seeing that no one dared to object any more, Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Great, since everyone agrees, this matter should be handled as soon as possible without any delay."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately responded in unison!
……

Puyang.

Lu Bu, who was originally waiting for the battle between Huainan and Xuzhou, did not wait for the news of the battle, but waited for the news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor. He was stunned and speechless.

"Come on, quickly find everyone to discuss."

Not long after, civil and military personnel in the city rushed over to wait for dispatch.

Lu Bu sat in the middle, with the military commander on his right, and Gao Shun as the leader. For Zhao Yun, he had to stand at the back. Although Lu Bu knew that he was capable, he hadn't accomplished anything. Standing in the front would attract gossip from others.

As for the counselors, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were still at the front, Xu Si was third, and Pang Tong was fourth.
