Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 176 Zhang Xiu
Jian Yong shook his head, "Cao Mengde is certainly hateful, but Huainan soldiers and horses are more important. We can only think about repelling Huainan soldiers and horses before considering Cao Mengde's affairs, otherwise it will be even more detrimental to our army."

Hearing this, Sun Qian nodded, "Cao Mengde wins, even if it is not good enough, our army can continue to be stationed in Xiaopei, and there will be no worries about safety.

But if Huainan soldiers and horses win, I am afraid our army is in danger. "

Hearing what everyone said, Liu Bei nodded, "Since that's the case, let's pass on the order, the whole army is ready, and we must try to repel the Huainan soldiers and horses first."

……

"Ha ha!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he received the news from the Xuzhou spies, and immediately called the generals to discuss.

When everyone heard the news, everyone was excited and laughed endlessly.

Zhang Miao stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Now that Huainan has dispatched troops, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande are preparing to fight. I believe that the three parties will suffer serious setbacks and their strength will be greatly reduced in a short time. At that time, it will be the best time for our army to send troops."

Chen Gong also nodded, his eyes were full of excitement, "As long as there is chaos in Xuzhou, our army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Lu Bu turned to look at Pang Tong, and asked with a smile, "Shi Yuan, what do you think?"

Pang Tong is a power worth 1 points, so you must ask him if you have anything to do.

Pang Tong thought for a while, and said slowly, "We should send someone to report to the emperor as soon as possible, and then Marquis Wen will go to Xuzhou to fight against the rebellion. The name is justified, and it can calm the hearts of the people in Xuzhou."

Hearing this, Zhang Miao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a big laugh, "That's right, Marquis Wen's soldiers and horses are ordered to go to Xuzhou after the rebellion is quelled. any repulsion."

When Lu Bu heard that everyone agreed to send troops to attack Xuzhou, he was overjoyed!

After waiting for so long, this day finally arrived.

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and was about to deliver the order, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Zhang Hu's voice also rang out from outside the door.

"Marquis Wen, there are messengers here."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Bu couldn't help being taken aback, then waved his hand, "Let him in."

Soon, a dusty soldier walked in from the door, handed over a letter, and said with his hand.

"This subordinate is ordered by General Zhang to deliver the letter."

Lu Bu took the letter, opened it, and his expression changed immediately.

"Zhang Xiu colluded with Liu Biao, stationed troops in Wancheng, and wanted to invade Xudu."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the news.

Zhang Miao stomped his feet, "Now is the time to use troops against Xuzhou, Zhang Xiu is restless again, it's really hateful!"

Chen Gong frowned, "Marquis Wen, why don't we divide our army into two groups, one to prepare to go to Xuzhou, and the other to stop Zhang Xiu?"

Lu Bu hesitated in his heart, and turned to look at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong shook his head, "Marquis Wen said just now that Zhang Xiu colluded with Liu Biao, which means that the troops we have to face may not only be Zhang Xiu, but also Liu Biao."

Speaking of this, Pang Tong paused, and said slowly, "Jingzhou is a land of wealth, and Liu Biao has the support of the local family, which can be said to be strong. Although not as good as Yuan Shao in Jizhou, his strength must not be underestimated.

If Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu jointly attack Xudu, even if our army does its best, we dare not say that we will win.

In addition, even if the three soldiers and horses in Xuzhou attacked each other and suffered heavy losses, with half of our army's strength, I am afraid that they are not enough.

Therefore, I believe that dividing the army into two groups will undoubtedly disperse our strength. I am afraid that not only will we not be able to win, but we may even lose. "

Zhang Miao nodded, and suddenly sneered, "Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, why don't we ask the emperor to make a decree to appease him, and then attack Xuzhou with all our strength?"

Chen Gong hurriedly waved his hand, "No, the three soldiers in Xuzhou haven't started fighting yet. If I go to Xuzhou right now, I'm afraid I will attract three soldiers to attack at the same time, which will be bad."

Pang Tong nodded, "Mr. Gongtai is right. Xuzhou is holding off. Zhang Xiu should be calmed down first. It is the best time to attack Xuzhou when there is no worries."

Hearing what everyone said, Lu Bu nodded, "In that case, our army will go to pacify Zhangxiu first, and then go to Xuzhou."

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Bu led 2 soldiers and horses towards Xudu.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring more soldiers and horses, but that his strength doesn't allow it!

Although more troops are allowed to be recruited in various places, they are all guarding the place and cannot be transferred lightly.

However, although there were only 8000 soldiers and horses, Lu Bu was not worried, because he said he was going to calm down Zhang Xiu this time, but in fact he only needed to make Zhang Xiu He Biao dare not act rashly.

After all, Liu Biao in Jingzhou was very powerful and he really wanted to conquer. Not to mention 8000 people, even 8 people might not be enough.

In addition, he has another thought, that is Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu is Zhang Ji's nephew. When Lu Bu followed Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, everyone knew him.

Zhang Ji is thoughtful, but compared with him, Zhang Xiu's scheming is not so deep.

Zhang Xiu's martial arts are not weak, and the long spear in his hand is indeed rare. When they first met, he was still a little unconvinced, and wanted to try with Lu Bu, but naturally he was defeated.

From that time on, when Zhang Xiu saw Lu Bu, his demeanor became a bit weaker, and he even spoke very politely.

Although Zhang Xiu is brave, but in terms of temper, he is a bit weak, and even in Lu Bu's view, he just has no idea.

For such an opponent who only had martial arts, Lu Bu didn't think he was any threat to him.

It's just a pity that Zhang Ji was out of luck, and he was shot by Liu Ya, it was really luck.

Lu Bu led the army to Xudu, and mobilized 2000 troops and horses from Zhang Liao, gathering ten thousand people, and rushed towards Wancheng.

Arriving at the bank of the Feishui River, not far from Wancheng, Lu Bu ordered to pick a flat terrain and set up camp.

At this time, Zhang Xiu also received the news that Lu Bu was leading the troops, and immediately called his counselor Jia Xu to discuss.

"Mr. Wenhe, Lu Bu is here with troops, what should our army do?"

Jia Xu frowned, thought for a long time, and said slowly, "Lu Bu only brought more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, so it's nothing to worry about."

After saying this, Jia Xu stared at Zhang Xiu, thinking, or hesitating.

Since Zhang Xiu led the troops to Jingzhou, through Liu Biao's attitude, Jia Xu has already seen that Liu Biao doesn't trust Zhang Xiu, and there is no prospect of development if he stays here.

Liu Biao asked Zhang Xiu to stay in Wancheng, ostensibly to jointly attack Xudu, but Jia Xu was very clear about his intention, which was just to use Zhang Xiu.

What made Jia Xu hesitate was that it was Lu Bu who came!
When Lv Bu was by Dong Zhuo's side, Jia Xu knew him quite well, knowing that he was just a reckless and ignorant fool with no courage.

If it weren't for his ability and the help of Bingzhou cavalry, Lu Bu would have been wiped out long ago.

If someone else came here to crusade, as long as the strength is super strong, Jia Xu would not hesitate to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender, leave Liu Biao, and find another place for development.

It's a pity that the person who came was Lu Bu, whom he despised.

Then we can only drive Lu Bu away and wait for the arrival of the sage.

Zhang Xiu nodded when he heard Jia Xu's words, "Mr. Wenhe, do you mean that our army can win?"

Jia Xu hesitated again, thinking of Lu Bu's character, nodded, "General Zhang, don't worry, Lu Bu is brave and foolhardy, and he is definitely not our army's opponent."

……

Early the next morning, the two armies formed their respective camps, not far from Wancheng.

Oh oh oh!
The desolate horn sounded, and under the guidance of the horn sound, groups of soldiers and horses came to the designated position to line up.

Amidst the rumbling drums, Zhang Xiu brought Jia Xu to the front of the formation, saw Lu Bu in the opposite camp, and subconsciously cupped his hands.

"Marquis Wen, stay safe and sound!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and was about to speak when suddenly a notification sound appeared in his mind.

"Discover the famous historical general Zhang Xiu, if you subdue him, you will be rewarded with 4000 points."

Hearing the system's notification tone, Lu Bu was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"Zhang Youwei, I am deeply sorry to hear that the Marquis of Pingyang was killed in battle."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's expression was a little sad, Jia Xu said loudly, "Lu Fengxian, I'm afraid you are not here for Marquis Pingyang, but for General Zhang, right?"

Following Jia Xu's voice, the system's notification sound came again in Lu Bu's mind.

"If you find Jia Xu, a famous official in history, and subdue him, you will be rewarded with 1 points."

Lu Bu didn't expect Zhang Xiu to be worth 4000 points, and Jia Xu to be worth 1 points. What a surprise!
If these two can be subdued, it will be 14000 points, how much feed will be exchanged!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu nodded calmly, "That's right, Zhang Youwei's skills are really good, and I love talents, so I hope Zhang Youwei can come to help me. I wonder if I would like to?"

Lu Bu's words were very polite, and Zhang Xiu was a little moved when he heard it, but Jia Xu was not satisfied with Lu Bu in his heart, even with a little contempt.

Although Lu Bu was brave, he was defeated by Li and Guo. It is conceivable that he can't be used well.

"Lu Fengxian, since you have already greeted Marquis Pingyang, General Zhang will not agree to follow you, please go back."

Hearing these words, Chen Gong couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward and said, "Jia Wenhe, why don't you submit to Marquis Wen and discuss important matters together."

Jia Xu shook his head, "General Zhang has surrendered to Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou now, how can he submit to Marquis Wen, please forgive me."

When Lu Bu saw Jia Xu obstructing him in every possible way, he was startled and filled with anger, and he shouted sternly.

"Jia Wenhe, don't you really want to submit to this Marquis?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Please forgive me."

Lu Bu was furious immediately, "Jia Wenhe, since you don't know how to flatter, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Xu Huang hurriedly patted his horse forward, "Marquis Wen appeases his anger, he will beheaded his dog without wishing."

"Ha ha!"

Lu Bu laughed loudly, "General Xu, then you can behead the dog's head for me."

Jia Xu's expression changed, Zhang Xian, the general behind Zhang Xiu, yelled, "General, the general is willing to fight."

Zhang Xiu nodded, "You have to be careful."

Holding a spear in hand, Zhang Xian galloped up to the front of the formation and shouted, "I am General Zhang Xian, who are you?"

Xu Huang snorted coldly, "Xu Huang, today I'm here to behead your dog."

While speaking, Xu Huang's sky-opening ax suddenly swung up, and with a gust of wind, he slashed towards Zhang Xian's head fiercely.

"Good come!"

Zhang Xian yelled, grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands, and lifted it upwards forcefully, "Get out!"

The big ax in Xu Huang's hand slashed fiercely on the barrel of the gun in Zhang Xian's hand, and there was a click sound, which made Zhang Xian's hands go numb, and stars appeared in front of his eyes.

When the two horses were staggered, Xu Huang retracted his big ax and swung the ax horizontally, directly chopping Zhang Xian from the horse to the ground.

"what!"

Zhang Xian screamed, fell off his horse, and didn't move anymore.

Xu Huang pointed at Jia Xu with a big ax in his hand, and snorted coldly, "Do you dare to come here and fight?"

Seeing Xu Huang's bravery, Jia Xu was taken aback. Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, and took off the spear from his horse, "The enemy general needs to be rampant. I hope we will fight you in the future."

Xu Huang waved the big ax in his hand and was about to rush forward, but he heard a loud shout from behind.

"Gongming step back for now, let Benhou come and teach him a lesson."

Zhang Xiu originally thought that he was going to fight Xu Huang, but he never thought that Lu Bu was going to fight, and his frightened face suddenly changed.

He fought Lu Bu once and lost badly. If there is a war this time, the result may not be much better.

However, in front of everyone, no matter what, you can't escape without a fight.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuqiang cheered up and shouted, "Let me learn Marquis Wen's martial arts."

Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Zhang Youwei, let Ben Hou see how much you have developed over the past few years."

While speaking, Lu Bu suddenly raised Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand, a sharp light shot out from his eyes, and he yelled.

"kill!"

Zhang Xiu hastily raised his long spear to block it. Although he is known as the spear king of the Northland, he is still far behind Lu Bu. Although he put all his energy into it, he only persisted in a dozen moves before he was able to win. Sweating profusely, he retreated in defeat.

Seeing Zhang Xiu flee into the formation, Lu Bu immediately shouted, "The whole army is attacking."

Following Lu Bu's order, the sound of horseshoes rumbled, and the Bingzhou iron cavalry charged.

The left-wing commander of Bingzhou cavalry is still Cheng Lian, but the right-wing commander has been replaced by Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun was in Youzhou, he served as the leader of the White Horse Yi Cong. Of course, he was only the leader of the squad, but he knew the way of cavalry, so he was appointed by Lu Bu as the leader of the right wing.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

When the infantry saw the cavalry rushing out, they were not to be outdone, and immediately rushed forward waving their weapons.

Lu Bu took the lead, and rushed straight to Jia Xu.

If it wasn't for Jia Xu's nonsense just now, Zhang Xiu might have surrendered.

This hateful guy must be eliminated.

Seeing Lu Bu coming straight towards him, Jia Xu trembled in fright, put his head on the horse's back, and galloped towards the crowd.

Seeing Jia Xu's incomparable cunning, Lu Bu was furious in his heart. Fang Tian's painted halberd streaked across the air like a beam of light, beheading the soldiers standing in front of him to the ground, and then took out the Dragon Tongue Bow.

"Jia Xu, don't try to escape, just watch the arrow."

call out!
Jia Xu was lying on the horse's back, and the arrow hit the horse.

The war horse let out a scream, leaped into the air immediately after hurting it, and then threw Jia Xu heavily on the ground.

Jia Xu was dizzy from being thrown, and this was not over, and was trampled on by several soldiers so painful that her bones were almost broken, she screamed in pain, stood up in a panic, and Without knowing the direction, he turned his head and ran.
