The death of this military general seemed to have kicked off the prelude, and Xu Chu also had an enemy general fall from his horse.

Chapter 286 Yuan Shu's Horror

Seeing this, the Xuzhou cavalry burst into loud shouts, and they used this method to cheer for their generals.

After turning the halberd over and swinging away Ji Ling's long knife, another general who participated in the attack pierced his chest with the tip of the halberd, spraying blood. The general's eyes were wide open, his expression full of unwillingness.

Ji Ling was shocked. Three generals besieged one person, but beheaded two people for Lu Bu in a moment. What a power it was.

Even though the martial arts skills of the other two generals were mediocre, attacking with him still poses a great threat. Ji Ling even thought about how to find an opportunity to kill Lu Bu.

The painted halberd was stained with blood and came towards Ji Ling again.

Yuan Shu's complexion changed drastically. The three generals who pinned his hopes on him died in the blink of an eye, and now the situation on the field once again became Lu Bu fighting Ji Ling alone.

Seeing Yuan Shu's gaze, many generals directly lowered their heads. They knew the strength of the generals who went to battle. Even if they stepped forward now, they would just lose their lives for nothing.

Ji Ling struggled to support him, and he felt like retreating. Lu Bu's bravery was something he could not stop.

With a feint, Ji Ling slapped his horse and headed towards the main formation.

Lu Bu snorted coldly, and mobilized his horse forward.

The Chituma was so fast that it caught up to Ji Ling in an instant.

The painting halberd was raised, and the crescent halberd exuded a cold glow.

At this moment, an arrow came towards Lu Bu, but it was Qiao Qian who saw that the situation was not right and came to help.

With a flick of the halberd, the arrow fell to the ground, and Ji Ling took the opportunity to rush back to the main formation.

"Fighting against Benhou, you are only using these small tricks." Lu Bu said disdainfully.

The other two generals who fought against Xu Chu were also terrified, and they fled in embarrassment when they saw Ji Ling recovering from the battle.

Yuan Shu shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy!"

The army that went out to fight rushed towards Lu Bu. After receiving Yuan Shu's order, the lieutenant soldiers had already made preparations, and they would charge forward just waiting for Yuan Shu's order.

Fang Tian raised his halberd and swung it forward heavily.

The Xuzhou cavalry rushed up, and the sound of hoofs rolling over covered the shouts of killing on the battlefield.

Although there were cavalry accompanying them, they were facing the most elite cavalry force in the Xuzhou Army.

The personal guard cavalry who wields a scimitar is the god of death on the battlefield.

The two teams collided, and Yuan Shu's army kept retreating, but Lu Bu and Xu Chu rode straight to attack Yuan Shu.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu was horrified. The six generals had just dispatched together and failed to win. This allowed Yuan Shu to have a deeper understanding of Lu Bu's martial arts.

Fortunately, some cavalrymen rushed out from the camp, blocking the Xuzhou cavalry's attack.

Seeing Yuan Shu's army dispatched, Lu Bu ordered the cavalry to gather their formation and stop the confrontation.

"Yuan Gonglu, wash your neck and wait for Ben Hou to come and take your head away." Lu Bu laughed loudly.

The Xuzhou cavalry disappeared into the distance with billowing dust and smoke.

Han Yin gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, if Lu Bu is so arrogant, he must die a terrible death."

The generals in the army seemed to have reacted from the previous battle, and expressed their anger one after another. As for what kind of thoughts they had in their hearts, it was unknown.

After this battle, the morale of Yuan Shu's army, which had been raised with great difficulty, dropped a lot again. This time, the battle was even more intense.

The six generals dispatched, they couldn't do anything to Lu Bu and Xu Chu, instead they beheaded one for Xu Chu and two for Lu Bu. If they faced Xu Chu and Lu Bu in the future, no one would dare to step forward to block them.

Some generals who hadn't fought before secretly rejoiced that it was not easy to get to the position of general, and it would not be worthwhile if they died on the battlefield because of expressing themselves.

Yan Xiang said: "Even though Lu Bu is brave, the lord has tens of thousands of elites, enough to defeat Lu Bu."

This sentence reassured Yuan Shu a lot. There is indeed a certain gap between his own side and Lu Bu's as a general, but if the two armies confront each other head-on, he has absolute confidence in winning.

The news of Lu Bu's victory in the battle spread among the army at a very fast speed. Yesterday, Ji Ling had the upper hand in the battle, but no generals in the Xuzhou army were lost. Now Yuan Shu directly lost three generals, and Lu Bu and Xu Chu fought against six. Even if the enemy general is able to win, this kind of victory is definitely a great encouragement to the lieutenant generals.

After Jia Xu and Guo Jia got the news, they looked at each other and smiled wryly. The commander is brave and can indeed boost the morale of the army, but Lu Bu is the commander of the army. If there is a mistake in the battle against the enemy, what will it do to the army? Influence.

In ordinary times, Jia Xu and Guo Jia often persuaded Lu Bu in this regard. Since they decided to assist Lu Bu, they would definitely do their best to advise Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu has always regarded himself as a general, and it is even more common to take the lead in wars.

Seeing Jia Xu and Guo Jia hesitate to speak, Lu Bu smiled and said, "The generals under Yuan Shu's command are nothing more than that, Wen He and Feng Xiao don't need to worry about this Marquis, don't you have confidence in this Marquis' martial arts?"

"My lord is brave and unstoppable," Jia Xu said.

"But my lord is the commander-in-chief of the army, and the safety of Xuzhou and Yanzhou affects the stability of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. I also hope that my lord can put safety first." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Wen He and Feng Xiao sing together, it's rare."

"When it comes to leading the soldiers to face the enemy, the two of you are hard to compare with this Marquis, but in terms of strategy, this Marquis is not as good as you two. I know how to lead the lieutenant soldiers to victory."

Seeing what Lu Bu said, the two had no choice but to give up.

Lu Bu on the battlefield is absolutely conceited, and Lu Bu also has the capital of conceit. Many fierce generals in the armies of the princes died in Lu Bu's hands.

However, Lv Bu, who was arrogant on the battlefield, was able to listen to the advice of his counselors. Even when he contradicted Lv Bu, he would not punish him. There are Xuzhou officials who are willing to follow such a monarch. important reason.

Blind conceit will eventually lead to failure, but if arrogance and humility exist at the same time, it is different. In front of the enemy, Lu Bu is arrogant. In front of the advisers under his command, Lu Bu will humbly listen to useful suggestions. Such a monarch is worth following.

But Jia Xu and Guo Jia still want to work hard to get rid of Lu Bu's hobby in fighting.

The two also understand how difficult it is to succeed in such a thing.

Lu Budao: "This Marquis is a military commander. When facing the enemy, if you can take the lead, it will cheer up the soldiers in the army. I also understand your intentions. When I fight on the battlefield, I have my own cavalry to follow. , with the elite cavalry guards, who can stop me?"

Chapter 287

Jia Xu and Guo Jia were concerned about his safety, but Lu Bu was quite satisfied, which showed that they had really stood in his position and started to think about the problem.

Occupying most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, if you want to truly gain a foothold among the princes, you still need to win against Yuan Shu.

If the Xuzhou army can repel Yuan Shu this time, no one would dare to underestimate the existence of Lu Bu. When they want to deal with Lu Bu, they need to take into account more problems.

Walking in the army, Lu Bu could feel the excitement of the soldiers in the army. Inspired by the victory, they no longer had any more fear of the upcoming battle. The soldiers were brave, so why worry about not being able to win.

Nanyang County is where Yuan Shu raised his troops. Yuan Shu's control over Nanyang County has never been weakened. Before that, Sun Jian was the governor of Yuzhou. In fact, Yuzhou is still under Yuan Shu's control, and it is still the same now.

The army is approaching Pengcheng, and Yuzhou is also quite busy. Tens of thousands of troops are fighting, and the daily consumption of food and grass is not a small amount. What the officials in the rear have to do is to provide support to Yuan Shu as much as possible.

Yuan Shu's attack on Lu Bu was still hated by the hearts of the people. Lu Bu was a traitor and traitor of the big man. Just because he followed Dong Zhuo and killed many loyal officials of the big man for Dong Zhuo, he brought an indelible stain on Lu Bu.

A group of cavalry entered the territory of Yuzhou. The attire of these cavalry was completely different from that of the cavalry of the Han army. Even their appearance was very different from that of the Han people.

This [-]-strong cavalry belonged to the Yufulo tribe of the Huns.

Against Lu Bu, the elite cavalry of the Xuzhou army must be taken into consideration. If there is no strength against the Xuzhou cavalry on the battlefield, it will be extremely difficult to defeat the Xuzhou army faster.

Lu Bu is good at commanding cavalry in combat, and he is also outstanding in training cavalry.

The Xiongnu cavalry was one of Yuan Shu's important means of fighting against Lu Bu. According to Yuan Shu's plan, the Xiongnu cavalry was the last to enter the battlefield.

It's just that a large number of Xuzhou cavalry appeared in Nanyang County. These cavalry posed a big threat to the stability of Nanyang County. There was even a city that was broken by Xuzhou cavalry.

If this continues, it will definitely affect Yuan Shu's rule in Yuzhou. Needless to say, these cavalry must have been sent by Lu Bu to harass the rear.

The instability in the rear would have a great impact on the ensuing battle. As a last resort, Yuan Shu could only let the Huns cavalry enter Yuzhou in advance.

When Yuan Shu fought against Lu Bu, the foreign aid included Huns cavalry, Yellow Turban Zhang Babu, Jiangdong Sun Ce, Qingzhou's army was also in Yuan Shu's wooing, but Qingzhou's army was too busy to take care of itself, and there were many difficulties in taking into account the situation on the Xuzhou battlefield.

Before Liu Bei and Kong Rong led an army to attack Xuzhou, they were defeated by the Xuzhou army, and they have not recovered from the defeat.

Even if there is no threat from Qingzhou, Yuan Shu is confident that he can defeat Lu Bu and rule Xuzhou with so many forces.

Yu Fuluo is the Shanyu of the Huns tribe, and has a high prestige among the Huns tribe. The three thousand Huns cavalry is the most elite existence under Yu Fuluo's command.

The Huns who dominated the grasslands were once defeated by the Han army, but the influence of the Huns is still there, and many of them even moved to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu was a well-known feudal lord of the great Han Dynasty, and he came from a famous family. Yu Fuluo quite recognized Yuan Shu's win-win. Joining Yuan Shu would make the prestige of the Huns once again revealed.

The Huns, who have been silent for too long, also need victory to boost their morale.

There is nothing more meaningful than defeating the elite Han army.

"Shan Yu, there is no trace of the Xuzhou cavalry." A centurion came on horseback and shouted.

Yu Fuluo said: "Scrutinize closely and make no omissions."

The Xiongnu cavalry, like casting a net, inquired about Xuzhou cavalry in Runan County.

In fact, the scouts of the two sides had confronted each other before. After that scout battle, the Xuzhou cavalry disappeared in Runan County.

Cao Xing was ordered to lead the cavalry to harass Yuan Shu's rear, and set his target on Runan County, which is close to Peiguo. If Runan County loses, Yuan Shu will definitely be worried.

What Cao Xing did not expect was that Yuan Shu sent a large number of cavalry into Runan County. Judging from the news from the scouts, these cavalry were the Xiongnu cavalry.

The Huns grew up on horseback since they were young, and proficiency in bowing horses is also synonymous with the Huns cavalry. Cao Xing had to be careful in the face of such a large number of Huns cavalry, and at the same time spread the news back to the army quickly.

With the help of the Huns cavalry, Yuan Shu's strength will be even more terrifying.

The Xiongnu cavalry was powerful, and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who followed Cao Xing were elite. The Xiaoqi Battalion was trained by Lu Bu at the beginning, and they fought fiercely, leaving a great reputation among the princes.

Currently, the Xiongnu cavalry are active in Runan, and they are looking for traces of the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

With the support of stirrups, the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion was not inferior to the cavalry of the Huns in terms of riding skills, and even took a certain advantage when the scouts confronted each other.

At the same time, Sun Ce led [-] soldiers to attack Guangling.

In Jingzhou, after Liu Biao received the envoys of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, he chose not to move. Both Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are powerful princes. If they participate in their war, they will definitely drag Jingzhou into the flames of war.

Yuan Shu and Jingzhou have enmity, but the Yuan family's reputation is too big, even when Liu Biao chooses to fight Yuan Shu, he must be cautious.

The officials in Jingzhou also opposed Liu Biao's attack on Yuan Shu. Although Lu Bu was a fierce tiger, Yuan Shu was even more terrifying. In their view, it was impossible for Lu Bu to win the battle against Yuan Shu. Just pay a higher price.

Xuzhou's army is powerful, and Lu Bu's time in Xuzhou was short after all. Once the battle goes against him, the officials in Xuzhou may rush to betray him.

In view of this, Liu Biao chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

After Cao Cao defected to Liu Biao, he placed Liu Biao in Bowang County under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County. His intention was very clear, that is, to use Cao Cao to block Yuan Shu's attack.

Jingzhou is a land of wealth and wealth. Yuan Shu attacked Jingzhou before to strengthen his strength. How could Liu Biao willingly give Jingzhou to Yuan Shu? He was not Han Fu.

Cao Cao persuaded Liu Biao to take the opportunity to attack Yuzhou, but Liu Biao refused.

Yuan Shu's army attacked Xuzhou, which was Liu Biao's opportunity to capture more cities.

However, Liu Biao followed the advice of Jingzhou officials.

On the surface, Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou. In fact, he is also balancing the interests of the major families in Jingzhou and striving for the greatest rights and interests for himself.

If the Jingzhou aristocratic family strongly opposed it, it would be difficult for Liu Biao to make a decision.

Chapter 288 Okay, This Plan Works

The power of the aristocratic family is huge. If the aristocratic family is angered, it is possible for them to directly evade the state shepherd. It is not difficult to replace a state shepherd and unite the aristocratic family.

Cao Cao has infinite hatred for Lv Bu, but Cao Cao also understands that it is the existence of Lv Bu that is restraining Yuan Shu. If Lv Bu breaks through for Yuan Shu, then Jingzhou will be in danger. At that time, Yuan Shu will get Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Will be more powerful.

After growing stronger, will Yuan Shu sit back and watch Liu Biao occupy such a wealthy place as Jingzhou?I am afraid that even the aristocratic families in Jingzhou will scramble to show their loyalty to Yuan Shu.

In the eyes of the family, the rulers of Jingzhou can be changed, and the interests of their families cannot be violated.

Cao Cao was very concerned about the battle in Xuzhou. He wanted to see if Lu Bu could lead the Xuzhou army out of this crisis.

For the time being, there will be no war in Yanzhou. The most important forces of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are gathered near Pengcheng. The battle in Pengcheng is related to an important change in the situation in the south.

For half a month, the Xuzhou army and Yuan Shu's army did not engage in large-scale confrontation. On the battlefield, scouts from both sides came and went, bringing more useful news to their own army.

As the scouts fought gradually, Yuan Shu couldn't sit still. Yuan Shu had [-] cavalry under his command. This was an elite cavalry that Yuan Shu spent a lot of money on, and it was also one of the important forces for him to fight against the Xuzhou Army.

But all princes will see the important role of cavalry on the battlefield, the key is whether they have the strength to form a cavalry.
