The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

At this time, Yuan Shu stood up and opposed openly, which was to question the authority of the princes and alliance leaders.

Compared with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao has a better reputation among the princes. When Yuan Shu was young, he acted recklessly in Luoyang, and even said that Yuan Changshui, a fierce ghost on the road, after Dong Zhuo took control of the court, Yuan Shao dared to stand up against Dong Zhuo under the great threat , Yuan Shu just ran back to his hometown in Nanyang in despair.

The rise of Yuan Shao was favored by the gentry, but Yuan Shu's influence should not be underestimated either.

Lu Bu, the shepherd of Xuzhou, was supported by Yuan Shu. It seemed that it was a battle between Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Lu Bu, but it was not a confrontation between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian's death, in Yuan Shao's view, is a great opportunity for the situation to reverse. If Yuan Shu is further suppressed, he will become the uncrowned king among the princes.

When the Xuzhou army is dispatched, the officials in Xuzhou will inevitably have other ideas. Lu Bu wants to do something in Xuzhou, but it is too difficult for the gentry in Xuzhou. Its use is far from enough.

On the fifth day of the Xuzhou army's dispatch, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, publicly announced that he would not recognize Lu Bu's status in Xuzhou, and sent his general Zhu Mao to lead an army of [-] to attack Lu Bu.

Qin Si, Minister of Xiapi, responded and sent two thousand troops to attack Pengcheng.

Guangling County and Xiapi State are important parts of Xuzhou, and now the officials of Guangling and Xiapi have openly stood up against Lu Bu, which is of great significance as can be imagined.

The large armies from the two places joined together and marched towards Pengcheng in a mighty manner. For a while, Xuzhou was shaken.

At this time, when the Xuzhou army is fighting against the Yanzhou army and the Qingzhou army, although the defenders of Pengcheng have 3000 people, who can be sure that no one secretly opposes Lu Bu's rule.

Jia Xu's so-called small plan was to suppress the news of Xuzhou's army's victory on the battlefield and not spread it back to Xuzhou.

When people with a heart in Xuzhou learn that Lu Bu has led an army to confront the Yanzhou army, how can they give up such a good opportunity.

And in Lu Bu's hands, there is indeed something that makes the Xuzhou family jealous. Pengcheng's immortal jade has made a lot of profits for Lu Bu. Relying on the immortal jade, Lu Bu has made a lot of money, and even the status of the Mi family in Xuzhou has taken advantage of the trend. Improved a lot.

After the betrayal of Xiapi and Guangling, there was no other movement in Pengcheng except to strengthen the defense. The defense at the city gate was tighter than before.

When Xiapi and Guangling rebelled against Lv Bu, Chen Gui, Prime Minister of the Pei Kingdom, announced that he would take refuge in Lv Bu and rebel against Liu Dai.

When the news came, Xuzhou was shocked again.

Chen Gui represented the Chen family in Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, the influence of the Chen family should not be underestimated. It was not comparable to the Mi family who came from a business background. The support of the Chen family would make the situation in Xuzhou even more confusing.

The news came one after another. Lu Bu's mood was not as solemn as outsiders imagined. It is quite normal that Xuzhou officials secretly objected. It would be the strangest thing if all Xuzhou officials obeyed and supported him something happened.

When any official governs a place, it is inevitable that he will violate the interests of some families.

When Lv Bu came to rule Xuzhou, he treated the rebels with a domineering attitude and severe means, and stabilized Xuzhou in a short period of time. Such a move naturally had many hidden dangers.

"Xuzhou's Chen family and Mi's family support this general. This general will have nothing to worry about. As for Zhang Chao and Qin Si, they are just clowns, and it is difficult to make a big deal. After this general defeats the Yanzhou army, it will not be too late to deal with them." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen's words are reasonable, but we have to guard against them."

The attitude of the Chen family in Xuzhou at this time was indeed somewhat beyond Jia Xu's expectations. Pei Xiang Chen Gui is the head of the Chen family. The Chen family has deep roots in Xuzhou. Tao Qian treated the Chen family the same way when he was in Xuzhou Three points of courtesy.

"The Chen family is smart. They know that the general's methods will not be these. If they betray the general, the Chen family will be the first to suffer the disaster." Lu Bu said.

The Chen family has great influence in Xuzhou, so what? Lu Bu is in charge of the army. As long as Lu Bu gives an order, the family that has lasted for hundreds of years can be injured. It may not be possible to put it on other monarchs There will be such a move, Lu Bu does not have so many scruples.

"Now that Xuzhou's hidden enemies have come forward, even if Marquis Wen wants to fight the Yanzhou army, Liu Dai probably won't agree." Jia Xu said.

"What's Wen He's opinion?"

Jia Xu said: "The power of Marquis Wen shook the Yanzhou army up and down. They must not dare to fight lightly. They stood still and waited for the situation in Xuzhou to change. Once Pengcheng was in turmoil, the Xuzhou army would be uneasy, and the Yanzhou army would take advantage of the situation. Victory is easy .”

"The Yanzhou army didn't dare to move rashly. Why didn't Marquis Wen order his generals to come to Changyi to shake Yanzhou, and Marquis Wen secretly sent cavalry to Pengcheng quietly, and defeated the troops of Guangling and Xiapi with lightning speed. Xuzhou is also stable."

"Wenhe's plan is very clever, so I ordered Cao Xing to come here." Lu Bu laughed.

After a while, Cao Xing rode his horse to the central army, handed over the horses to the soldiers outside the tent, and quickly entered the big tent.

"General." Cao Xing clasped his fists.

Looking at Cao Xing with piercing eyes, Lu Bu smiled and said, "How is the army doing?"

"General, the soldiers in the army train hard every day, just waiting for the general's order." Cao Xing said.

Lu Bu said: "The reason why General Cao came here is for the purpose of fighting."

When Cao Xing heard this, he smiled. As a fierce general under Marquis Wen's tent, how could he be afraid of war? What they pursued was to follow Lu Bu on the battlefield and make the enemy feel fear.

"As long as the general has an order, the last general will die." Cao Xing clasped his fists.

"The armies of Xiapi and Guangling have betrayed and are marching towards Pengcheng. The situation in Xuzhou is extremely unfavorable to our army. The general ordered you to lead a thousand cavalry to Changyi. Then Liu Dai tried to send our army through Xiapi and Guangling's army. Chaos, I would have left old Liu Dai with no time to take care of himself," Lu Bu said.

Chapter 73 Burning Yuan Yi

"The last general will definitely complete the task." Cao Xing said confidently.

When the Xuzhou Army faced the Yanzhou Army, it had the belief that it would win. Before the Yanzhou Army fought against the Xuzhou Army, they failed one after another. This also made the Xuzhou Army high-spirited when dealing with the war. Thirst for war.

In the eyes of the generals in the Yanzhou army, the heads of the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army are all meritorious deeds. If they kill the enemy soldiers, they can get rewards.

"The military advisor will tell you how to do specific things," Lu Bu said.

Cao Xing is a good general, with superb archery skills, and his ability to lead an army to fight is also remarkable. Let Cao Xing go to Changyi, he is the right person

As night fell, two cavalry troops left the Xuzhou military camp and headed towards Changyi and Pengcheng respectively.

Changyi is the state government of Yanzhou. If there is chaos in the state government, what impact will it have on the operations of the Yanzhou Army.

Lu Bu personally led [-] cavalry to Pengcheng to win the battle against the Yanzhou army, which was far from enough for Lu Bu. What he needed was the stability of Pengcheng.

With the support of Xuzhou's Chen family and Mi family, there is no big problem for Lu Bu to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou. The key Chen family has been resolved, not to mention the troops of Xiapi and Guangling.

"Report, scouts have found traces of enemy troops."

Lu Bu's heart moved, and he asked, "Tell me in detail."

After listening to the scout's narration, Lu Bu sneered and said, "It seems that Liu Dai still has some tricks, even thinking of sending a large army to attack Pengcheng."

"Marquis Wen, these people are nothing more than a mob, nothing worth mentioning." A general said.

Since the battle with the Yanzhou Army, the battle has been quite smooth, which also made the lieutenants despise the Yanzhou Army.

Lu Bu said: "Since these people have been brought before us, if we don't eliminate them, wouldn't we feel sorry for them?"

The surrounding cavalry burst into laughter after hearing Lu Bu's words.

The continuous news from the scouts gave Lu Bu a better understanding of the army that was preparing to raid Xuzhou. Among the Yanzhou army, the one who carried the banner with the word "Yuan" was, needless to say, the prefect of Sanyo, Yuan Yi. This is the generation who strongly supports Yuan Shao.

"Pay close attention to the movements of the enemy troops." Lu Bu ordered.

The scouts among the cavalry paid more attention to Yuan Yi and others, and dared to attack Pengcheng at this time, such a mistake is unforgivable.

Lv Bu personally led the scouts to investigate, in order to guarantee that he would be killed in one blow and make Yuan Yi pay a heavy price for his actions.

Yuan Yi led the army to Pengcheng, he must have wanted to do a surprise attack, and he would travel day and night, not daring to leak any traces, and in terms of finding out the news, Yuan Yi didn't even dare to send more scouts, for fear that the scouts would be inquiring about the news At that time, the traces of our own army were exposed.

In any case, Yuan Yi could hardly have imagined that at a critical moment in the battle of Yanzhou, Lu Bu would lead the cavalry back to Xuzhou.

The current situation in Xuzhou is indeed a bit urgent, but with Xuzhou's military strength, it can still be dealt with.

As night fell, Yuan Yi's army began to move.

About [-] miles away from Pengcheng, Yuan Yi ordered the army to stop, the closer he was to Pingcheng, the more cautious he had to be.

When the sky was twilight, the soldiers under Yuan Yi's command began to fall asleep.

After traveling overnight, the distance was not very long, but the soldiers in the army were very tired. Most of the soldiers threw their armors aside.

Afraid of revealing their whereabouts, the army didn't even set up tents, and they were scattered all over the place. Looking from a distance, it seemed that this army had experienced a disastrous defeat.

With an army of [-] under his command, Yuan Yi is confident that he can directly attack Pengcheng.

Although Lu Bu entered Xuzhou with a tyrannical posture, there are many resisting forces secretly in Xuzhou, and Yuan Yi wants to use these forces to deal with Lu Bu. As long as Lu Bu loses Pengcheng, the Yanzhou army will definitely win the battle .

Thinking of this, Yuan Yi sleeps in peace.

The scouts all over the periphery of the army's hiding place were easily dealt with by the soldiers under Lu Bu's command. The soldiers under Yuan Yi's command never thought that there would be a team following them.

Many soldiers who were sleeping soundly coughed violently.

A general looked at the thick smoke in the woods and shouted: "It's bad, there's a fire, put out the fire quickly." He was cursing in secret, thinking that some soldiers must have accidentally set the woods on fire.

The weather is dry, and once the woods catch fire, the army hiding in the woods will definitely suffer.

The smoke became more and more dense, and many soldiers panicked. They didn't even pick up the weapons and armor around them. They wanted to leave this shelter as soon as possible.

The fire was burning blazingly, and the sound of crackling sounded from time to time, and there were Xuzhou cavalry waiting in full force outside the woods.

These cavalrymen showed no mercy at all. Hidden in the woods were the enemies of the Xuzhou Army, and the most important thing was to wipe out the enemies.

A gust of wind blew, and many cavalrymen smelled a faint smell of meat, but the expressions of these cavalrymen were full of disgust, and they knew where the smell of meat came from.

The fire became more and more fierce, and the screams of soldiers could be heard from time to time in the forest.

Finally, some soldiers rushed out of the woods, but what awaited them was the massacre from Xuzhou cavalry.

"Prefect, something is wrong. Outside the forest, there are cavalry guards from the Xuzhou Army. After our soldiers rushed out, they were killed by the enemy." The captain shouted hastily.

Yuan Yi's complexion changed drastically. There were cavalrymen from the Xuzhou Army outside the woods. In other words, their traces were exposed?

This made Yuan Yi a little unbelievable, "Are you sure it is the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army? Currently, the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army are all on the battlefield in Yanzhou, how could they appear here?"

"Could it be that there are other cavalry under Lu Bu's command?" the captain asked.

Yuan Yi shook his head, "Did you ever talk about finding out how many people there are in the enemy army?"

The smog in the woods became more and more turbulent. If they could not escape the woods as soon as possible, the soldiers under their command would suffer even more serious losses.

The captain said: "There are about thousands of people, and the cavalry is densely packed outside the forest."

The captain just said a number casually, and the soldiers who said it basically had no way out. Under such a panic situation, how could the soldiers check the number of the enemy in more detail.

"There are so many cavalry? Could it be that Lu Bu sensed something was wrong and sent the cavalry back to Pengcheng?" Yuan Yi wondered. Yuan Yi still had a certain understanding of how many cavalry there were in the Xuzhou army.

"Prefect, what should we do?" The captain didn't want to listen to Yuan Yi's analysis, if he couldn't escape as soon as possible, once the fire became more intense, everyone would stay here.

Chapter 74 Burning Yuan Yi

"Check it out, there are no enemy cavalry." Yuan Yi said in a deep voice, his heart is not flustered, but Yuan Yi knows that the more it is in this kind of time, the more calm and calm it is.

Soldiers kept rushing out of the woods. At this moment, Yuan Yi's order had no effect on the soldiers who were in danger. They wanted to leave this place urgently.

In front of the fire, the soldiers under Yuan Yi's command appeared to be so fragile. There were soldiers falling in the thick smoke constantly. Yuan Yi knew exactly what would meet these fainted soldiers.

Seeing the scene in the woods where the army was hiding, Yuan Yi's mood became more and more depressed. He originally thought that this raid was a surefire one, but Pengcheng must have been unprepared. He didn't expect his whereabouts to be leaked, and he was blocked in the woods by the enemy. middle.

As the fire grows bigger and bigger, what fate will they have.

"Prefect, the situation is chaotic, and it is difficult for our army to investigate. Why don't you go back the same way." The captain advised.

Seeing the fire in the forest getting bigger and bigger, Yuan Yi nodded helplessly. The bitterness in his heart can be imagined. He originally thought that leading the army to raid Pengcheng this time would capture Pengcheng. At that time, Lu Bu would have no choice but to flee. And he will take advantage of the trend to become a pivotal figure in Yanzhou, and even give Yuan Shao more help.

Unexpectedly, the situation has evolved into the current situation.

The key is that now, even the enemy's leading general is unknown, how aggrieved it is.

But this is also the cruelty of war. Choosing to take this path means death.

The fire became more and more fierce, Yuan Yi led the soldiers and managed to get out of this deadly forest.

Originally, there were [-] elite soldiers under his command, but now there are only a thousand or so left.

Just when Yuan Yi walked out of the woods for only a few hundred steps, he saw the Xuzhou cavalry standing in front of him.

The banner with the word "Lu" fluttered in the wind, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the cavalry were aimed at the team that had finally escaped.

"Could it be that Marquis Wen led the cavalry?" The captain's expression was uncertain.

In the Xuzhou army, it is likely that Lu Bu is flying the banner with the word "Lu", because under Lu Bu's command, there is no general with the surname Lu, and these cavalry are also the most elite existence in the Xuzhou army.

Yuan Yi glared at the captain, because of the captain's words, Yuan Yi chose to retreat from the way he came. If he really encountered Lu Bu on the way to retreat, it would be a nightmare.

"I'm Marquis Wen, may I ask who is the commander of this army?" Lu Buce immediately stepped forward, slightly raising the painting halberd in his hand.

Yuan Yi's back was sweating profusely, and under the influence of the fire, the air seemed scorching hot, but Yuan Yi's mood fell into a trough, and he even felt a little cold in his hands and feet.

Lv Bu's greatest reputation among the lords is his bravery and skill in fighting. Outside the Hulao Pass, one person fought against Liu, Guan and Zhang, which raised Lv Bu's prestige to the peak. Any general who dares to fight Lv Bu head-on is worthy of admiration .

Yuan Yi was in a bad mood. The soldiers who followed Yuan Yi out of the woods were like this. They thought they would be able to leave this land that made them sad by escaping the woods, but they met Lu Bu in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, even if they wanted to turn around and escape back into the woods, it was impossible. The raging fire was enough to engulf them.
