The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Liu Bei is the lord's defeated general, An Gan is rampant at this moment." Hao Meng stepped forward.

Lu Bu frowned slightly. Jiangdong Sun Ce is under Yuan Shu's command, but Sun Ce is not a simple person. He borrowed soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu just to plan Jiangdong. Jiangdong is rich and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Given time, Sun Ce will definitely Will not obey Yuan Shu's orders.

But now Sun Ce still needs Yuan Shu's support. Yuan Shu's massive attack on Xuzhou would be impossible if Sun Ce had no other ideas.

"Sun Ce's rule is close to Guangling. If Sun Ce sends troops to attack Guangling, it will definitely affect our army's confrontation with Yuan Shu's army." Guo Jia said.

The generals in the army don't know much about the counselor's plan, but this can also give them a deeper understanding of the current situation facing the Xuzhou Army.

If the Xuzhou Army, which is on the weak side, cannot perform astonishingly in this battle, more people will want to step forward to get a share.

Lu Bu's occupation of Xuzhou was in itself opposed by the princes of the world. Now that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu turned against each other, it was their opportunity. If Yuan Shao hadn't been restrained by Gongsun Zan, maybe he would have made other moves.

Lu Bu could feel that the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty had undergone tremendous changes because he occupied Xuzhou. Yuan Shu's strength developed rapidly. Without Cao Cao as a check in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu's desire to encroach on Xuzhou was extremely urgent.

"According to the rumors from the spy, Yuan Shu also has contact with the Black Mountain Army." Jia Xu said.

After a long talk, the generals in the army felt a little dignified. They suddenly found that the situation of the Xuzhou Army was not as good as they had imagined. Yuan Shu, who had a great reputation, could not be underestimated.

When fighting Yuan Shu, if he was a little careless, he might end up being defeated.

Lu Bu said: "No matter how many forces support Yuan Shu, I will lead you all to victory in the battle. This battle is related to the life and death of the Xuzhou army. I hope that you will be more attentive after returning to the army."

"Here." The lieutenant generals said in unison.

Chapter 269 Pull Zhang Xun out and behead him for public display!

After the lieutenant general left, Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, even though Yuan Shu's army is aggressively invading, after suffering heavy losses from the vanguard army, they dare not easily invade Pengcheng. Chance."

"Oh?" Lu Bu showed curiosity, "Feng Xiao explained it in detail."

"Look, my lord, although Xuzhou is close to Qingzhou, there are many yellow scarves raging in Qingzhou. Liu Bei was once defeated by the lord, so he will not dare to send troops to attack Xuzhou easily. The ones who can threaten the lord are Yuan Shu and Sun Ceye." Guo Jia said: "Sun Ce sent envoys to Pengcheng before and reached a deal with the lord. Yingling's victory will definitely make Sun Ce vigilant and dare not easily become an enemy of the lord."

"Sun Ce wants to rule Jiangdong County, but there are many people in Jiangdong who are dissatisfied with Sun Ce. They secretly win over people who oppose Sun Ce, which makes Sun Ce too busy to take care of himself."

"Among our army, the most elite are the cavalry. We can rely on the maneuverability of the cavalry to cause Yuan Shu a steady stream of troubles, thus forcing Yuan Shu's followers out."

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Following Xiao's words are very true. What kind of means Yuan Shu has in secret has not been revealed. Pengcheng is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It is not easy for Yuan Shu to contact officials in Pengcheng."

"Okay, in the words of filial piety, the Marquis will personally lead the cavalry out." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu hastily persuaded: "My lord is the commander of the army, how can I leave the army, I just need to send a strong general to lead the cavalry, and I will surely be able to perform my meritorious service."

"Does Wenhe have a suitable candidate?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "Cao Xing, Captain of Xiapi, is brave and resourceful, and can take on important responsibilities."

"Order Cao Xing to come to the central army immediately," Lu Bu said.

For the generals who followed him in the past, Lu Bu was quite at ease, and Cao Xing was not weak in commanding the cavalry in combat. His going to Yuzhou would definitely bring Yuan Shu a lot of trouble.

Besides, after Yuan Shu learned of the battle at Yingling, he immediately ordered the lieutenant soldiers to come quickly, but it was still a step too late.

"Incompetent, more than half of the vanguard army of tens of thousands was lost in the first battle. You are also a seasoned general. Why did you make such a stupid mistake?" Yuan Shu cursed.

Zhang Xun's face turned red, and he didn't dare to argue. No matter what reasons he had, the failure had already happened.

"Come here, pull Zhang Xun out and behead him for public display!" Yuan Shu shouted.

The general in the tent was surprised when he heard the words. It must be known that Zhang Xun is a well-known general under Yuan Shu's command, and he has won Yuan Shu's trust. Normally, Yuan Shu would praise Zhang Xun a lot, but now he wants to behead Zhang Xun. Give them an unbelievable feeling.

Yang Hong went out to persuade: "My lord, beheading a general before the battle will make the generals in the army panic. General Zhang Xun is a general in the army. If you don't let him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, let him see the aftermath. After the battle is over, we will act again." A matter of reward and punishment."

The rest of the generals pleaded for mercy.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "If you hadn't pleaded for mercy, you would have died. After you return to the army, you can train your soldiers."

"Thank you, my lord." Zhang Xun clasped his fists.

Defeat will be punished accordingly. For this, Zhang Xun has no complaints. Although Yuan Shu's words before are harsh, they are defending him. If the defeat is not punished, it is inevitable that the soldiers in the army will discuss it.

And the monarch chasing the generals under his command to intercede has a different meaning.

Zhang Xun has made a lot of contributions to Yuan Shu in these years, Yuan Shu has a lot of trust in him, and he is equally grateful to Yuan Shu.

After the lieutenant general left, Yuan Shu said, "Little Lu Bu, you are too deceitful. If you can't cut him into pieces, how can you calm down the anger of this Marquis?"

"My lord, you must be cautious. At present, the Xuzhou army has [-] people. Yingling's victory has boosted the morale of the Xuzhou army. If we fight the Xuzhou army, it will definitely cause a lot of damage to our army." Yang Yang Hongdao said, "In the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to let the Black Mountain Army go to Xuzhou and start taking action."

"Okay, with the words of the long history." Yuan Shu nodded and agreed.

The disastrous defeat of the vanguard army disrupted Yuan Shu's battle plan. This time, Yuan Shu made full preparations for the battle against the Xuzhou Army and secretly made friends with the rest of the Black Mountain Army in order to have more means when fighting against Lu Bu. .

Lu Bu is famous for his bravery and skill in battle. It is not easy to get benefits from Lu Bu. From the current arrangement of the Xuzhou army, it can be seen that in the face of a large number of enemy troops approaching, Lu Bu sent troops outside Pengcheng and made it clear. To fight him to the death outside Pengcheng.

How could Yuan Shu let Lu Bu succeed? Mobilizing more power for his own use is the most important thing.

At that time, even if Lv Bu is brave, so what? Yuan Shu will use practical actions to let Lv Bu understand that relying on personal bravery is not enough.

Yuan Shu's army hoarded the Yingling area, and it seemed that they had no intention of invading Pengcheng, and spent more time training the soldiers in the army.

The Xuzhou army, facing the situation that the enemy may attack at any time, still maintains high-intensity training. Ordinary training is an indispensable part of the army, and it is no exception when wars may happen at any time.

The Black Mountain Army is powerful, and the Black Mountain Army runs across the prefectures and counties, and there are many Black Mountain Army in Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou.

The Black Mountain Army is active in the valleys. When encountering the elite Han army, they will hide in the mountains and will not confront the Han Army. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the power of the Black Mountain Army has not only not weakened but has become stronger. Emperor Xiaoling also had to appoint Zhang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army, as a general in peace.

Awarding the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army is not the Han Dynasty showing weakness to the Yellow Turbans. If the big Han has enough troops to deal with the current situation, how can the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans be rampant.

The expansion of the aristocratic family violated the interests of many common people, so that more common people had no choice but to join the Yellow Turbans and become bandits.

Zhang Ba, one of the commanders of the Black Mountain Army, was the one whom Yuan Shu secretly wooed.

Zhang Ba has coveted Xuzhou's prosperity for a long time. Originally, Zhang Ba was active in the Yanzhou generation, and he didn't want Yanzhou to be occupied by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

If Liu Dai was in charge of Yanzhou, Zhang Ba still had the confidence to compete with Liu Dai. If it were Lu Bu, Zhang Ba would have to be more cautious. Lu Bu is a fierce man. The elite cavalry, if they fought against Lu Bu, their lives would be in danger if they were a little careless.

In view of this, Zhang Ba could only go into hibernation temporarily.

Yuan Shu sent someone here to promise benefits, so Zhang Ba saw an opportunity.

Chapter 270

It was Yuan Shu's opportunity to deal with Lu Bu. The Yellow Turbans under his command had tens of thousands of people, including [-] elites, Zhang Ba's most important force.

It's not that all the Yellow Turbans are vulnerable. For example, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, which shocked the big Han, were so brave and good at fighting against the Han army.

The same Yellow Turban Army, in the hands of different people, will have different effects.

Zhang Ba thought that he had some attainments in leading troops and committing crimes. With Yuan Shu restraining him, no matter how capable Lu Bu was, looting the wealthy Xuzhou would definitely be a joyful thing.

At that time, Zhang Ba will also be able to lead people to occupy the city, and support his own self-respect.

Yuan Shu wanted to use him to contain Lu Bu, so Zhang Ba didn't want to use Yuan Shu's power to strengthen himself.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion that year was violent and brought unimaginable harm to the Han Dynasty. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, the Yellow Turbans scattered all over the Han Dynasty did not stop.

With Yuan Shu's support, it was relatively easy for Zhang Ba to enter Xuzhou.

Zhang Ba led five thousand soldiers and horses, the most elite of the Yellow Turbans, and entered Donghai County through Peiguo.

Donghai County is an important county in Xuzhou, and it has provided a lot of material support for the prefectural pastor's mansion. Moreover, Donghai County is in a relatively safe place, and it is rarely robbed by bandits. A series of methods after Xuzhou made it difficult for thieves and bandits to hide.

This has also made Donghae County relatively stable.

After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou with force, the officials of Donghai County did not resist too much. Besides, Donghai County is located between Pengcheng Kingdom, Xiapi and Langye. Even if the officials of Donghai County have other ideas, they have to weigh it. Fan.

Yinping County is a city under the jurisdiction of Donghai County. As usual, the people in the city go in and out of the city normally, and they are busy with their daily lives.

The war in Xuzhou was about to break out, and it had little impact on the city of Donghai County. With Lu Bu leading an army in Pengcheng to resist the invasion from Yuan Shu's army, the city of Donghai County still enjoyed stability.

At the time when the largest number of people came and went in a day, Zhang Ba led the yellow scarf elite to appear.

More than a hundred cavalry were the first to attack the west gate.

The charging yellow turban cavalry made the city gate into chaos. Although the soldiers defending the city were ordered to try their best to close the city gate, their defense seemed so weak in the face of the powerful cavalry.

The weak resistance was quickly wiped out by the cavalry.

A large number of Yellow Turbans poured into the city, causing massacres in the city. Although the Yellow Turbans were born in the common people, they did not have gentle means when dealing with the common people. There is too much hesitation.

This is also the reason why many people hate the Yellow Turbans. It was the arrival of the Yellow Turbans that made them lose their homes and even had to become one of the bandits.

If they can have a stable life, no one is willing to become a bandit. The attitude of the Han court towards the Yellow Turban is very clear. After the officials of the states and counties wiped out the Yellow Turban, they rarely accepted the Yellow Turban. This gave them further capital in officialdom.

Yinping is just an ordinary city, and the defenders in the city are only a few hundred people. Five thousand yellow scarves swarmed into the city.

Zhang Ba led the Yellow Turban soldiers to start a bloody massacre in the city. Killing the red-eyed Yellow Turban soldiers would not take into account the lives of ordinary people.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turbans slaughtered wantonly in the city. The rich and powerful families were the most popular among the Yellow Turbans. Every time the Yellow Turbans plundered, their favorite thing was to rob the noble families, because these families had rich backgrounds, which were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. .

The killing came so suddenly that the people and officials in the city had no time to react.

For a time, blood flowed into rivers in Yinping City, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the streets.

When Zhang Ba saw everything in front of him, he couldn't stop laughing, and looting was the most important way for the Yellow Turban to grow.

After the yellow turban soldiers entered the city, the killing gradually stopped until nightfall. Every yellow turban soldier had gained a lot, and some soldiers even brought women into the army.

Zhang Ba did not object to the behavior of the soldiers in the army. Soldiers have to bear tremendous pressure in battle. Now that they have broken through the city, they must enjoy it. Use your life even more when fighting.

Yinping was breached, and Wei Anqing of Yinping County fought his way out of the siege and fled to Donghai County.

The captain of Donghai County is Song Xian, one of the ten heroes under Lu Bu's command.

"Captain, Zhang Ba led thousands of yellow scarves to attack Yinping, and the army led by the humble officer was unstoppable." An Qing lowered his head in shame after describing the situation of Yinping's fall.

An Qing was originally a general in the army, and was recommended by Song Xian as a county lieutenant, responsible for the security of Yinping. Song Xian recognized An Qing's ability, but he did not expect that the general he valued would fall into the hands of Huang Jin.

Song Xian said in a low voice: "Take An Qing out and beheaded to show the public. As a county captain, when the rebels attacked the city, he couldn't respond in time, so that Yinping fell and tens of thousands of people died. This is an unforgivable crime." .”

"Captain, it's not a pity to die in a lowly position. I hope the captain can avenge the dead soldiers." An Qing was relatively calm. As Song Xian's former subordinate, he understood that he would be punished for his mistakes.

Song Xian nodded and said, "Just feel free to go, your family, Captain Ben will take care of you."

"Thank you, General." An Qing saluted solemnly.

An Qing was taken away by two soldiers, and a general said: "Captain, the captain of An County is usually dedicated to his duties, there are many yellow scarves, attacking the city, and Yinping fell, it is understandable."

"What is important in the military is the distinction between rewards and punishments. An Qing was single-handedly promoted by Captain Ben. If he was executed, Captain Ben would feel better." Song Xian sighed.

"The general understands." The general clasped his fists and said.

"The Yellow Turban traitor attacked the city of Donghai, an unforgivable crime." Song Xian gritted his teeth and said every word.

Ever since Lu Bu was appointed as the captain of Donghai County, Song Xian did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Song Xian has been following Lu Bu for a long time, and he deeply understands how many difficulties Lu Bu will face after occupying Xuzhou. Lu Bu's help is the most appropriate thing.

Later, Song Xian sent a fast horse to pass the news to Pengcheng and headed for the prefect's mansion.

After listening to Song Xian's narration, Yu Cheng, the prefect of Donghai, looked unhappy. Donghai County has always been a relatively stable county in Xuzhou. He was ordered to govern Donghai County, and naturally he wanted to make Donghai County achieve greater development.

Chapter 271 Unforgivable

Yu Cheng's family showed their loyalty after Lu Bu entered Xuzhou. This is also an important reason why Yu Cheng was able to move from the position of Donghai Juncheng to the prefect.

Yu Cheng was in his forties, and he was also capable.

"General Song, the Yellow Turban is powerful. There are now a thousand soldiers in the city. If they fight against the Yellow Turban, they will suffer heavy losses." Yu Chengdao.

Song Xian nodded solemnly. If he knew the news of the Yellow Turban's arrival in advance and defended the city, it would be impossible to break through the city just by relying on the Yellow Turban.

The overall strength of Donghai County exceeds 2000, but it takes a certain amount of time to dispatch. The Yellow Turban is coming fiercely, will it give Song Xian a chance to dispatch troops?

"This matter has already been sent to Pengcheng quickly." Song Xian said.

Yu Cheng nodded, "Declarate orders to Donghai counties to strictly guard against yellow scarves."

After a discussion between the two, Song Xian left the prefect's mansion with a heavy heart. The Yellow Turban was coming fiercely, and it was when Yuan Shu was about to attack Pengcheng. If Yuan Shu had nothing to do with the Yellow Turban, no one would believe it.

Yuan Shu is a member of the Yuan family of four generations and three princes. If it is said that Yuan Shu is connected with the Yellow Turban rebels, people in the world will not easily believe it.
