Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 29
Fan County.

On the high platform in the barracks, Lu Bu was dressed in military uniform, with a golden crown on his head, and two pheasants fluttering in the wind, looking majestic.

"See Marquis Wen!"

The soldiers held the rewards that had just been handed out in their arms, and they shouted very loudly with excited expressions on their faces.

Lu Bu stood with his hands behind his back with a dignified face, and said in a loud voice, "Our army will be rewarded for its merits and punished for its mistakes. This time, the whole team is united in attacking the city, making the enemy terrified..."

A war horse rushed in from the gate of the camp. Although it entered the school field, it still didn't stop. It galloped all the way to the high platform, then jumped off the horse's back and knelt down on one knee.

"Marquis Wen, it's bad, General Han has been arrested."

The person who came to report the news was Song Xian who went to Dong'e with Han Hao.

Lu Bu's face turned cold, "Come up and talk."

Song Xian stood up and walked up the stairs to the high platform.

"What's going on, can you explain clearly?"

"The last general and General Han went to Dong'e together, for safety reasons, we separated after we arrived in Dong'e.

General Han is in the open, and the last general will lead people to protect in the dark.

Later, General Han went to the home of Zao county magistrate and talked for a long time, and then someone led troops to take them down, and they are now in prison. "

Xu Bang stepped forward and said, "According to the spies' inquiries, Cheng Yu and Yanzhou officer Xue Ti both went to Dong'a. It seems that they ordered the arrest this time."

Lu Bu was furious, and snorted coldly, "Cheng Yu, Xue Ti, you dare to spoil my good deeds, do you really think that I can't do anything about you!"

Han Hao is worth 5000 support points, and Zaoyi may be worth 5000 support points. If Cheng Yu catches the two, wouldn't he lose 1 support points?
You can arrest people, but you can't make me reduce my support value!
Lu Bu turned around and looked at the soldiers in the audience, and shouted, "Cheng Yu and Xue Ti deceived our army to have no one, what do you think we should do?"

All the soldiers had just distributed the rewards, and were wondering when the next payment would be, when they heard Lu Bu's words, they were overjoyed, the opportunity had come!

"Dare to bully our army, kill him!"

"Catch them and vent your anger on Marquis Wen!"

"Marquis Wen, let's fight!"

Hearing the thunderous call for battle, Lu Bu yelled, "All officers and men, obey the order. Tomorrow morning, our army will march to Dong'a. Whoever makes meritorious service will be rewarded by this lord."

"Thank you, Marquis Wen!"

All the soldiers were overjoyed immediately, and all of them were smiling.

With a siege weapon and a multi-functional siege vehicle, wouldn't it be easy to break through the city.

Going to Dong'e this time is another chance to make money!

Lu Bu and others came to the conference hall in the barracks to discuss the important matter of dispatching troops.

I'll go to Dong'a early tomorrow morning, but Fan County also needs someone to guard it.

What everyone discussed was who should be kept and how many soldiers should be kept?

Lu Bu scanned the crowd, finally set his eyes on Hou Cheng, and said slowly.

"Hou Cheng obeys the order!"

Hearing Lu Bu calling his name first, Hou Cheng immediately grinned, his eyes full of complacency, "The last general is here!"

"Order you to take two thousand soldiers to stay and defend the city."

The expression on Hou Cheng's face froze, and he suffered quickly, "Marquis Wen, can you let the last general stay by your side?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Hou Cheng, you have been wounded by an arrow, so you are not suitable for the expedition, you should stay."

After saying this, Lu Bu ignored Hou Cheng, and said loudly to the crowd, "The rest of the people, so I will go out together tomorrow, and we must take Dong'a as soon as possible."

"The last will obey."

In the early morning of the next day, the north city gate of Fan County was opened wide. Bingzhou cavalry, the most powerful army under Lu Bu, rushed out of the city gate first, and headed towards Dong'e along the official road amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

Lu Bu did not go ahead with the cavalry, but stayed in the infantry and took charge of the overall situation.

……

Juancheng.

How could Lu Bu's dispatch of troops be so big as to be hidden from Cao's spies.

Xiahou Dun was taken aback when he received the news from the spies, and hurried to the county government office to discuss with Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, Lu Bu has dispatched troops and is rushing to Dong'a."

Xun Yu wasn't shocked at all, even, there was a hint of sarcasm in his bright eyes.

"General Xiahou, since Lu Bu has sent troops, it's time for us to take action."

The smile on Xun Yu's face seemed contagious, and Xiahou Dun, who was a little nervous at first, gradually calmed down at this moment.

"Okay, I'll go back to the camp to rectify the troops and set off early tomorrow morning."

Xun Yu waved his hand, "General Xiahou, your troops are precious and fast. Now you return to the camp to rectify your troops and send troops immediately."

Xiahou Dun nodded, "Wen Ruo, Juancheng depends on you."

After speaking, Xiahoudun said goodbye and left, returned to the barracks, immediately summoned soldiers and horses, led the troops out of the city, and headed towards Fan County.

……

Although Hou Chengren was a bit reckless, he had led troops in Bingzhou for many years, and he knew the truth that leaders must be cautious.

When fighting with foreign races in Bingzhou, most of them were cavalry, who came and went without a trace, knowing the importance of intelligence.

As soon as Lu Bu's army left the city, Hou Cheng sent several waves of spies to investigate everywhere, especially three waves of spies in the direction of Juancheng.

The spies that had been thrown out really worked. Not long after Xiahoudun's soldiers left the city, the spies found out and came back to report immediately.

Hearing the news from the spies, Hou Cheng didn't dare to neglect. Although he was injured, he still came to the city to garrison overnight. At the same time, he ordered people to pass the news to Lu Bu quickly.

Although the full body armor is very defensive, it is also uncomfortable. When the sun is shining, the inside of the armor is like a steamer, which is very hot.

At night, when the cold wind blows through, the iron leaves of the armor are cold again, sticking to the body, it will soon make people feel more and more cool.

Hou Cheng really wanted to take off his armor, but the news from the spies dispelled this idea.

"General Qi, Cao Jun has been on the road overnight, and there are only 20 miles left from here."

Hou Cheng looked at the faintly visible mountains in the distance, feeling a little puzzled.

Could it be that Cao Jun wanted to attack the city overnight.

The poor visibility at night is not good for the siege side, and more troops will be lost. Therefore, apart from sneak attacks, few people choose to attack the city at night.

"General Qi, Cao Jun came straight here, and there are only ten miles left."

Hou Cheng frowned when he heard the news from the spies. Knowing that his worry might be true, he thought for a long time, then turned his head and said loudly to the lieutenant beside him.

"Pass down the order, let everyone climb the city wall, and don't let the enemy take advantage of it."

"The last will obey."

Hou Cheng looked at the piles of defensive materials on the city wall, and suddenly gained confidence in his heart, suddenly sneered, and murmured.

"If you dare to attack the city at night, then let you taste my strength."

Half an hour later, there were bursts of horseshoes in the night sky.
