The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Wenpin was negligent, plotted against Ji Ling, and fell into Ji Ling's ambush.

This is nothing to the well-trained Jingzhou army. The key is that there is a tyrannical force of the Huns cavalry on the battlefield.

After being equipped with stirrups, the fighting power of the Huns cavalry was astonishing. In the army equipped with a large number of refined weapons, the fighting power of the Huns cavalry was even more terrifying than when they attacked Pengcheng.

The cavalry smashed in and out, the Jingzhou army was hard to stop, and the army was chaotic. Ji Ling led the army to charge for a while. Fortunately, Cao Cao led the cavalry to respond, so he was able to escape, and Ji Ling led the army to calmly retreat into Yangdi.

The news of Ji Ling's victory shocked the Jingzhou army, and Yuan Shu was very excited.

The setback of the vanguard army shocked the high-level officials in Jingzhou. They originally thought that after Yuan Shu failed on the Xuzhou battlefield, the soldiers in the army did not have much fighting spirit. Who would have thought that even under such circumstances, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command would still be like this Ferocity, although it was due to the participation of the Huns cavalry in the battle, this made Jingzhou have to pay attention to Yuan Shu.

The Jingzhou side also had a lot of discussions about this, and there were even two factions, some advocated to continue to attack Yuzhou, and some supported the retreat. The failure of the vanguard army would have a great impact on an army. Generals who fight with soldiers understand the truth.

The Jingzhou army lacked cavalry, so it was impossible to have a more detailed understanding of the situation on the battlefield, and Yuan Shu, with the help of the Huns cavalry, would have terrifying strength.

Wenpin could only lead his army back and set up camp, and he regretted not following Cao Cao's advice.

Cao Cao was keenly aware that Lu Bu might attack at such a time. If he was placed in Lu Bu's position, he would definitely not let Yuan Shu go so easily. After all, the crisis in Xuzhou this time was caused by Yuan Shu leading the army to attack As a result, although Yuan Shu said that he had compensated Liang Guo and Pei Guo, who would dislike the fact that there were too many cities under his rule.

By Lu Bu's side, there are also resourceful people to help. Jia Xu's strategy has been reflected when Lu Bu raided Pengcheng and fought against the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army.

With such a person by his side to help, Lu Bu will become a terrifying existence among the princes.

Just as the war broke out between Wenpin and Ji Ling, the Xuzhou Army began to move.

There are 500 cavalry in the Yanzhou Army, which is also an important force in the Yanzhou Army. They were trained by Zhang Liao. The cavalry in Yanzhou was formed by borrowing the training model of the Xiaoqi Battalion. Even the generals in the cavalry are mostly from the Xiaoqi Battalion. of.

As night fell, Dingtao fell into silence, and there were no soldiers to be seen on the city, and many soldiers were leaning against the city wall to rest.

The torches were burning blazingly, illuminating the situation near the city gate.

At this moment, Captain Chen Dong led more than [-] soldiers to attack the east gate. The soldiers guarding the gate of Soucheng had no idea that their captain would betray him at such a time. Before he could defend, the city gate was quickly captured by Chen Dong.

The city gate opened, Zhang Liao took the lead and led the cavalry into the city.

The shouting and killing in the city lasted for a full night, until it gradually stopped at dusk, and the people in the city did not dare to go out of their homes even after the sky was bright.

The battle that broke out in the city will have a great impact on the people.

Chapter 358 Dingtao Breakthrough

Once the city is breached, it means that the city will change its monarch, and the common people don't know what it will be like to live under the rule of the new monarch.

The chaos in Dingtao was completely unexpected. It was hard for them to imagine that the Captain betrayed Yuan Shu.

It is undeniable that after Yuan Shu's failure on the Xuzhou battlefield, many officials in Dingtao secretly contacted officials in Yanzhou. Originally, officials in Changyi were worried about the safety of their families and wanted to contact officials under Yuan Shu's rule. After Lu Bu failed, he was able to find a new way out for the family.

When the defeated party on the battlefield became Yuan Shu, the officials who communicated with each other also changed their identities. The officials in Dingtao worried that the Yanzhou army would ask them to liquidate after they broke through Dingtao, so they secretly contacted the officials in Changyi.

The change of status has also made many Changyi officials secretly proud, but the secret contact of these officials must not be known to outsiders.

Even the officials in the city have such thoughts, and the generals in the army will inevitably have some ideas.

As a general, Chen Dong had a lot of admiration for Lv Bu. Although Lv Bu had a bad reputation, when Chen Dong learned about the system in Xuzhou's army, he resolutely made the decision to join Lv Bu.

Although Chen Dong is a captain, he is just a captain who Yuan Shu uses to appease people's hearts, and usually has no power at all in the army.

The city gate fell, and Yuan Xu, the guard of Dingtao, also tried to make some efforts, but it was difficult to stop the wolf-like Yanzhou army.

He had no choice but to give up Dingtao and come to Chenliu County.

There were not many soldiers resisting in the city. After the Xuzhou army entered the city in a large scale, what they needed to worry about was their own lives. Few of the truly loyal Yuan Shu stepped forward to fight with the Yanzhou army.

Even so, the Yanzhou army still needs a certain amount of effort to stabilize Dingtao, mainly because there are a lot of defenders in the city, and some families also took the opportunity to leave Dingtao.

For Lu Bu, many families are afraid, living under Lu Bu's rule, even makes them see no hope.

That being the case, it is also a wise move to take the opportunity to leave Dingtao.

When Lu Bu learned about the evacuation of some families, he did not stop them. Anyway, these families were in a hurry, and more supplies were left in the city. At that time, it was time for Lu Bu to liquidate with these families. Take it back.

In Lu Bu's view, such a deal is quite a bargain.

Although Lu Bu did not reject officials from family backgrounds, their actions would, to a certain extent, put the monarch on guard, and no monarch wanted to have the power to influence the decision-making of the monarch.

Just like in Jingzhou now, on the surface Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou, who guards the side and has [-] elite soldiers under his command. However, can Liu Biao's decision-making really affect Jingzhou?

The loss of Dingtao brought shock to Jiyin County as can be imagined.

Dingtao is the county government of Jiyin County, and it is close to Yanzhou Prefecture to govern Changyi. It still puts a lot of pressure on the cities of Jiyin County. When Yuan Shu led the army to attack Xuzhou, when they faced secret contacts with Changyi officials, they might Feeling superior to others.

Now it is different. Not all families are willing to leave their hometowns. After arriving in a strange place, if there is no family to help them, it is very likely that their families will not be left behind. It is not impossible to choose.

It's good that Lu Bu is cruel, but there are not many families living under Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou. They only need to follow Lu Bu's orders, and there will be no more dangers.

The sky was bright, but the city gate of Dingtao had not been opened, and the flag on the city wall had been replaced with the flag of the Yanzhou Army.

Inside the prefect's mansion, Zhang Liao sat at the head of the seat, looking at the trembling officials below, he felt rather complacent.

In charge of Yanzhou's military, Zhang Liao is under a lot of pressure. The situation in Yanzhou is more complicated than that of Xuzhou, and what Zhang Liao needs to do is to firmly control the general's power in his hands, so that it is difficult for officials to reach out to the military. Among them, only in this way can Lu Bu's rule in Yanzhou be guaranteed.

"Welcome Marquis Wen." Zhang Liao saw it from afar, and hurriedly got up.

The officials in the prefect's mansion were shocked when they heard the words. Lu Bu's reputation among the princes was too loud for them to pay attention to. What they didn't expect was that there was Lu Bu's figure in the attack on Dingtao. Before they got the news, Lu Bu was still in Pengcheng, so he came to the battlefield of Dingtao in a blink of an eye.

When facing Zhang Liao, these officials may be able to remain calm, but in front of Lu Bu, they dare not be presumptuous in the slightest.

Lu Bu, dressed in military uniform, strolled into the hall of the prefect's mansion, glanced at the officials in the arena, and walked to the head of the hall.

Zhang Liao, who was in the top position, became Lu Bu, which put a lot of pressure on Tao's officials.

"This time our army was able to break through Dingtao, and Captain Chen Dong deserved the credit." Lü Bu said with a smile.

Chen Dong went out and clasped his fists and said, "The final general is willing to serve Marquis Wen."

"That's right, do you want to stay in the army, or continue to be the captain of Jiyin County?" Lu Bu asked.

Chen Dong was slightly taken aback, cupped his fists and said, "The general is willing to join the army."

Lu Bu nodded. He was quite satisfied with Chen Dong's answer. The army successfully captured Dingtao precisely because of Chen Dong's support. In fact, Lu Bu was quite puzzled as to why Chen Dong would betray Yuan Shu. You must know The weight of a captain is not low.

"From now on, you will be the lieutenant under the command of this Marquis, in charge of a group of soldiers." Lu Bu said.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Chen Dong's tone was a little excited. He is a school lieutenant in charge of a group of soldiers, and his status is already very high in the army. Since he wants to join Lu Bu, he has a certain understanding of the systems in the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. of.

Nowadays, there are quite a few Zhonglang generals in the armies of other princes. They were also appointed by the princes without authorization. Anyway, the influence of the court is no longer there. The princes have the right to appoint generals under their command. At that time, they only need to send a list to the court. , you can get permission, now it is so casual.

This also caused the school lieutenant to gradually become a low-level general in the army.

When the big man is stable, someone who can become a school lieutenant has a very prominent position in the army. The school lieutenant has the power to command a group of soldiers.

The rest of the officials who took the initiative to seek refuge were all rewarded, and more officials were still in their original positions without much change. Currently, the Yanzhou Army has just captured Dingtao, and everything is based on stability.

Chapter 359 Isn't Lu Bu in Xuzhou?

"You must have heard about the situation under my lord's rule. As long as you obey my orders, let bygones be bygones. If you want to have other thoughts, this lord will settle the matter with you," Lu Bu said indifferently. Said.

Officials in the arena said yes one after another, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

After occupying Dingtao, Lu Bu immediately ordered officials from various counties in Jiyin to come and pay a visit. This was also an important measure to confirm his status in Dingtao.

At this time, do the other officials in Jiyin dare to disobey Lu Bu's order? If they really don't want to survive under Lu Bu's rule, they will definitely leave early and disobey Lu Bu's order, and they will be greeted by the Thunder of the Xuzhou Army prestige.

Yuan Xu fled Dingtao City all the way, his expression was full of embarrassment. After counting the soldiers, Yuan Xu's mood was not optimistic. He was originally in Dingtao City, but there was an army of 5000 people, and only a thousand soldiers followed him from the city. For the rest of us, this can be called a fiasco.

Dingtao City was high and deep, but it was attacked by the Yanzhou Army's internal and external forces. Yuan Xu had to think about how to explain this matter when he returned to Yuan Shu's tent.

Yuan Shu's current situation is not very good, and Yuan Xu knows this. Losing Dingtao at such a critical moment will make Yuan Shu so angry.

However, Yuan Xu had no other choice, and immediately led his troops to Chenliu County.

Yuan Xu had a premonition that after the Yanzhou army occupied Dingtao, they would definitely not let it go, especially the news from Dingtao made Yuan Xu more firm on this point. Lu Bu actually appeared in Dingtao city. important news.

The Yanzhou Army's attack this time was probably planned in advance.

Lu Bu's appearance was definitely a nightmare for the army stationed in Yanzhou. After defeating Yuan Shu's army, Lu Bu's power was absolutely astonishing.

The soldiers in the army felt panic when they learned that it was Lv Bu who led the army to attack Dingtao. They had a deep fear of Lv Bu, an emotion they had never had before, and they even secretly rejoiced that they had escaped from the city. come out.

Lu Bu has a very bad reputation, but also has a great reputation. Anyway, if he encounters Lu Bu on the battlefield, it will be difficult to survive. This can be seen from the disastrous defeat of one's own army on the battlefield.

After fleeing all the way to Chenliu County, Yuan Xu felt a little more relaxed.

Yuan Xu is a member of Yuan Shu's clan. Although he is not a close clan member, this also makes Yuan Xu have a high status under Yuan Shu's tent. Even if Jiyin County is lost this time, Yuan Xu believes that he will not be severely punished. Besides, after Yuan Shu led the army to defeat Lu Bu this time, it had a great impact on the soldiers of the army.

Even though Jiyin County has thousands of soldiers and horses, once Lu Bu made up his mind to attack Jiyin, would he be able to preserve Jiyin just by relying on Yuan Xu?

The point is that at this time, the Jingzhou army is still plotting against Yingchuan. Once the war starts again, it is impossible for Yuan Xu to get reinforcements from Yuan Shu, and the people in the city are panic-stricken. Even the captain Chen Dong has secretly taken refuge in Lu Bu. .

All this also contributed to the fall of Jiyin.

In Chenliu City, after listening to Yuan Xu's narration, Liang Gang's face was slightly gloomy. If it were an ordinary general, Liang Gang would definitely scold him. Jiyin has five thousand defenders, even if the Yanzhou army is all dispatched , No more than [-] people, with careful precautions, can completely stop the Yanzhou Army's attack.

"General Liang doesn't know that it is Lu Bu who led the army to attack Jiyin County this time." Yuan Xu said with a pale face.

Liang Gang's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Isn't Lu Bu in Xuzhou? Why did he appear on the battlefield in Jiyin?"

"It must be Lu Bu who came to help Yin secretly." Yuan Xu said with certainty.

Liang Gangdao: "Lv Bu formed an alliance with the lord. I never expected that he would break the alliance so quickly. He really is a treacherous person, so it is not worth trusting."

"Now that Chen Liu has more than [-] soldiers and horses, he will definitely be able to stop the Yanzhou army's attack." Yuan Xu said.

Speaking of this, Yuan Xu was also relieved a lot. In the army, Liang Gang had a strong reputation. With Liang Gang in command of the army, it would be no problem to fight against the Yanzhou Army.

Liang Gang sneered and said, "Even if Lu Bu came to Yanzhou, so what? It's wishful thinking to attack Chen Liu just by relying on Lu Bu's troops. The elite of the soldiers under his command."

"General Liang is brave and good at fighting, and no one can stop him. However, Lu Bu is not an easy man. Our army failed in the Xuzhou battlefield. We should be more careful and avoid being taken advantage of by Lu Bu." Yuan Xu said, after the defeat of Jiyin County, He was even more careful, and what worried him most now was that Lu Bu led the army to Chenliu.

Chenliu Commandery and Jiyin Commandery were Yuan Shu's gains on the Yanzhou battlefield, and they were also important forces used to contain Lu Bu.

"Now that the Jingzhou army is attacking Yingchuan, it must be that Lu Bu saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to attack Jiyin. However, with the means of the lord, Liu Biao will definitely suffer heavy losses. If Lu Bu is wise, he will definitely not choose to attack Chen at this time. Stay." Liang Gang said confidently.

Yuan Xu couldn't help reminding: "General Liang, Lu Bu is not an ordinary person, and his actions are not something ordinary people can fathom. For example, the attack on Jiyin County this time is completely unexpected."

Liang Gang secretly sneered, it was obvious that Yuan Xu was not good at protecting the city, and was taken advantage of by Lv Bu. When he heard about it, Lv Bu became so powerful. However, Yuan Xu is a member of Yuan Shu's family, so Liang Gang can't say much, but he Deep down in his heart, he still didn't believe that Lu Bu would lead troops to attack Chenliu County at such a time.

Liang Gang has a certain understanding of the situation on the Xuzhou battlefield. Although Lu Bu led the Xuzhou army to a great victory, after the victory, the soldiers in the army also suffered a lot of losses. The most important thing for Lu Bu at the moment is to recuperate. rather than further conquests.

If the Jingzhou Army hadn't attacked Yingchuan, Liang Gang believed that Lu Bu would not have attacked Jiyin County so quickly.

Seizing Jiyin County was unexpected. If Lu Bu dared to lead an army to Chenliu County, he would not mind teaching Lu Bu a painful lesson and let Lu Bu understand that Chenliu's army is not that easy to deal with.

Liang Gang was able to occupy a place under Yuan Shu's tent, and he was also a capable general with rich experience in leading troops in combat.

In words, there is a lot of disdain for Lv Bu, but Liang Gang still made a lot of preparations in secret, especially to check the officials and generals in the city who may contact Lv Bu. Any strong city, if there are internal problems , is definitely dangerous.

Chapter 360 Eight Thousand Soldiers and Horses

Three days later, news of the failure of the vanguard army of the Jingzhou Army on the Yingchuan battlefield reached Chenliu County. Liang Gang was overjoyed. There will also be a higher fighting spirit.

The failure of Jingzhou's vanguard army also reassured Liang Gang a lot. As Yuan Shu's general, Liang Gang naturally didn't want Yuan Shu to fail after Xuzhou's defeat.

The current situation under Yuan Shu's rule is a bit complicated because of the failure of the Xuzhou battlefield, but Yuan Shu's victory over the Jingzhou army will be a big encouragement to the generals in the army and officials under his rule. I realize that even if they failed on the Xuzhou battlefield, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command are not comparable to the Jingzhou army.

In fact, Liang Gang also knew that the victory in this battle had a lot to do with the participation of the Huns cavalry. It did not rely on Yuan Shu's own strength, but as long as it was a victory, it was enough.

The failure of the war requires victory to enhance the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the army.

Just after the news of the defeat of the Jingzhou army came, the Yanzhou army approached the city, and [-] troops formed a formation outside the city. This is currently the largest number of soldiers that Yanzhou can mobilize.

When the Yanzhou army arrived, the generals and soldiers in the city were in panic, and the army outside the city was densely packed, which had a great impact on them. Moreover, the loss of Jiyin County made the lieutenant soldiers even more afraid of the Yanzhou army. At this time, he met the Yanzhou army on the battlefield.

Seeing the performance of the generals in the army, Liang Gang was furious. Usually these generals pride themselves on being brave in front of them, but they did not expect that at the critical moment, they would look like this. After some scolding, Liang Gang's mood improved There are many, and it will inevitably be a little dignified.

"Generals, although the Yanzhou army is approaching the city, the Yanzhou army has no more than [-] people, and there are more than [-] defenders in the city. Could it be that with more than [-] people, it can't defend the attack of the [-] Yanzhou army?" Liang Gang said.

When the lieutenant general heard this, he was relieved a lot.

"Although Lu Bu won the victory on the battlefield in Xuzhou, the strength of the lord is unfathomable. Lu Bu captured Jiyin County by chance and thought he could sweep Yanzhou. He will lead you and others. Let Lu Bu see what is elite Gentlemen, let Lu Bu pay a heavy price when he attacks Chen Liu." Liang Gang said in a deep voice.
