The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

The thousand soldiers were allocated from the five thousand soldiers brought by Lu Bu, while the original soldiers at Cangling Pass marched with Lu Bu.

Cangling Pass is very important, so if you use your own people to guard it, you will feel at ease.Although it is unlikely that someone will come to tackle the problem bravely, but it is always better to be prepared.

Chen Gong nodded secretly.

Climbing across the big mountain behind Cangling Pass, standing on the top of the mountain, the mountain wind was so strong that it made the hundred-flowered robe on Lu Bu's back flutter and sway with the wind.

Lv Bu raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Through the faint thin clouds, he could already clearly see the city on the plain and the buildings in the city.

More than a month of arduous trek has finally come to an end.

Going down the mountain along the narrow road, the soldiers at Cangling Pass were familiar with this area, and led Lu Bu down the mountain quickly.

After going down the mountain, there is Baogu. After traveling along Baogu for more than ten miles, the road ahead suddenly becomes clear.

The cool breeze blows by, making the pores of the whole body unknowingly relax, and the mind is relaxed and happy.

Looking forward, it is a flat and open road and an endless wilderness.This also means that the 470-mile Baoxie Road has come to an end.

In the farmland beside the road, an old farmer wrapped in a turban is bowing his body, sowing wheat, diligently.

Seeing the fields full of crops, they always have the most down-to-earth smiles on their faces.

Plant a grain of millet in spring, and you can harvest ten thousand grains in autumn!

Occasionally, there will be a cry of cattle, and the laughter of children chasing and playing in the fields.

Ten miles ahead along the avenue is Baocheng.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry to march. Anyway, after so many days, he was not in a hurry to order to camp and rest by the nearby river.

The soldiers set up camp and buried pots to make food, while Pan Feng and Ma Zhong brought more than a dozen soldiers into civilian clothes, sneaked into the city, and connected with the spies planted in the city, and sniffed out the news by the way.

In the evening, the spies who sneaked into the city reported back.

Lu Bu was sitting in the tent, about to pick up the bowls and chopsticks to eat, when he heard the spies come back, he called into the tent and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

"General, there are less than a thousand defenders in the city." The soldier clasped his fists and said.

Less than a thousand people?

Lu Bu frowned, thinking about it.

The military strength of a city should be around two to three thousand at least. How could there be only a few hundred people? What the hell is this Su Gu doing?

The detective then told all the news he had heard. Yizhou Mu Liuyan sent Sima Zhangxiu of the other department and Sima Zhang Lu of the governor to sneak across Daba Mountain and attack Hanzhong.

When Su Gu heard about this, he was shocked and personally led his troops to the front line, but it seemed that he was defeated, so he hurriedly mobilized troops from various cities in the county to the south.

Therefore, there is only such a small amount of troops left in Baocheng.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Gongtai, what do you think of this matter?"

After listening to the scolding report, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong.

As a strategist under his command, Chen Gong certainly wants Lu Bu to value him more, and this time is undoubtedly the best time for him to perform.

He cupped his hands towards Lu Bu, and said in detail: "General, Liu Yan's intention to send troops to attack Hanzhong is self-evident. He must want to swallow Hanzhong into his stomach and use it as a barrier to the north of Yizhou."

Lu Bu was convinced that Liu Yan's intentions were as clear as a lice on a bald man's head.

When he was an official in Luoyang in the past, when the late emperor Liu Hong was still in power, Lu Bu had dealt with this Han family clan member. Compared with Liu Yu's benevolence and Liu Dai's upright and reckless, Liu Yan seemed ambitious .

He advised the emperor that the governor should be abolished and replaced by the governor of the state, and the military and political power of the state and county should be concentrated in the hands of the governor of the state.Previously, Liu Hong was worried about the dominance of state shepherds and would not be controlled by the court, so he did not agree to it until his life was about to come to an end, then he nodded and agreed to the plan.

Liu Yan asked himself to be the shepherd of the state, and later, when he heard Dong Fu say that Yizhou was worthy of the emperor, he went back and begged the emperor to let him take up the post in Yizhou.

From this action alone, it can be seen that Liu Yan has ulterior motives.

After arriving in Yizhou, the original governor of Yizhou, Quejian, had been killed by the Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang. After Jia Long organized an army in Yizhou to defeat Ma Xiang, he welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou.

Liu Yan, who took office, started a series of policies to attack local tyrants internally and consolidate his own power; externally, he appeased and sheltered those who escaped and rebelled, and tried his best to implement the policy of tolerance and grace, which won the praise of the people.

But in fact, Liu Yan has ulterior motives in his heart.

Last year, when the feudal lords of the world challenged Dong, Liu Yan, who was a member of the Han family, refused to send troops and kept the prefecture on its own.Under the chaos, tens of thousands of refugees from Nanyang, Sanfu and other places entered Yizhou. Liu Yan collected them all and called them "Dongzhou Soldiers".

Now, Liu Yan, who has expanded in strength, is obviously no longer reconciled to the land of Bashu, and has extended his hand to Hanzhong.Once he is allowed to sit in Bashu and Hanzhong, he will be a veritable emperor of the land.

It will be difficult to catch him again.

Lu Bu was pondering Liu Yan's thoughts in his mind, and Chen Gong went on to say: "If my guess is correct, Liu Yan's army should have crossed Daba Mountain and marched into Hanzhong from Micang Road. Their attacking goal is to directly Refers to the prefecture of Hanzhong County——Nanzheng!"

"Where is Nanzheng?"

Lu Bu asked suspiciously. He didn't have a regional topographic map of Hanzhong in his hand, so speaking of many places, they were all unconstrained, and he couldn't figure out the south, east, north, south, and north. He felt like a blind man.

"Please take a look, General."

Chen Gong took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, and laid it flat on the table. On the cloth, there were paintings of mountains, rivers, cities, roads, north-south directions...

Lu Bu took a closer look and said in surprise, "This is... a topographic map of Hanzhong!"

Seeing Lu Bu's surprised appearance, Chen Gong felt a little proud in his heart. After all, he let Lu Bu see his own ability, but he said modestly: "The painting is simple, please take a look at it."

This topographic map of Hanzhong was also drawn by him all the way these days.Among them, the city roads in Hanzhong were also learned from the mouths of those Hanzhong soldiers. I can't guarantee [-]% correctness, but I just drew them according to their descriptions.

Looking at the map, Lu Bu quickly found their current location.

Judging from the scale of the drawing, after passing Baocheng, there are still forty or fifty li before reaching Nanzheng.

The plains are not like the mountains, maybe in the Baoxie Road, forty or fifty miles, it may not be possible to walk for three or four days.But on the plain, if you ride a horse, it will take more than half an hour.Walk faster, and it is estimated that you will be able to arrive at dusk tomorrow.

"If my predictions are correct, Su Gu should now be occupying the Han River and confronting Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu."

Chen Gong swiped his fingers at the Han River, then returned to Nanzheng and tapped lightly, and suggested to Lu Bu: "General, Su Gu sent all his troops to fight in the south. At this time, Nanzheng is empty. Instead of taking Baocheng, we can directly take Nanzheng in one go!"

A gleam flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he also had the same idea.Taking advantage of Su Gu not knowing that he came to Hanzhong, let's make a quick decision and take Nanzheng!

Afterwards, Lu Bu, who had made a decision, summoned all the generals under his command into the account, and ordered decisively: "Pass on my general's order, and have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, troops will be dispatched to Nanzheng!"

All the generals were excited when they heard this order, they clasped their fists together and said in unison: "Here!"

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers under his command had assembled early, and Lv Bu led the army to set off.

On the way, the soldiers of the three armies only had a midday meal before continuing on their way.
