Chapter 77: Three British Battles against Lu Bu (1)(1/2)
The fall of Pengcheng made Lu Bu furious.
After listening to Qin Yi's cry, Lu Bu was about to rise up.
General Gao Shun hurriedly dissuaded: "The general is famous and fearful from far and near. Now I don't know where the thieves invade the territory, so why do you need the general to take action personally? Just send a general, such as Wenyuan and Shulong, you can take back Pengcheng and ask the thieves to be the head. Why should the general mobilize the troops?"
This sentence is very good. If Gao Shun doesn't add the following sentence, maybe Lu Bu will really make Zhang Liao and Cao Xing come out.
How to...
Gao Shundao: "If you fail, wouldn't it hinder the general's reputation?"
Gao Shun's original intention is correct, and there is no problem with this.
But what a proud man Lu Bu was. When he heard what he said, he was furious: "How can some thieves lose?"
"General..."
"Don't talk too much, Xiaogong, I have made up my mind to this matter.
Wen Yuan is in Siwu today, so he can order him to return immediately. I will lead a soldier to compete with the thief. I think there will be no mistakes."
At that time, Chen Gong was not in Xia Pi, so he went to Huaipu to celebrate Chen Gui's birthday.
Cao Xing led his troops to station in Xiaqiu to prevent Yuan Shu from sneak attacking. As for Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others, Lu Bu did not want to bring him... In his opinion, Wei Yue was incompetent, which led to Pengcheng being lost. He could achieve success and easily take Pengcheng back.
Gao Shun was quite helpless when he saw that Lu Bu was unable to persuade him.
"Since the general is going, Xiaogong is willing to follow him."
Lu Bu was quite satisfied with Gao Shun.
This man is taciturn, but his character is extremely loyal. However, after the Hao Meng incident, Lu Bu no longer dared to trust anyone easily. It is precisely for this reason that the most elite camp in his hands was always controlled by him, and he would only let commander Gao Shun be allowed to be in wartime.
After hearing what Gao Shun said, Lu Bu laughed loudly.
"I know filial piety, respect, loyalty and righteousness, but what can I do to me if I am a little thief?
I go to Pengcheng, and Xia Pi will be handed over to you. I will hand over the camp to command the commander. You are here waiting for Wenyuan. When he arrives, he will order him to send troops immediately. Tell Wenyuan that at noon tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in Pengcheng City and wait for him to lead his troops to come..."
This sentence means being confident and heroic.
Gao Shun couldn't help but smile bitterly and could only nod and agree.
If you continue to persuade, it may backfire.
After following Lu Bu for so many years, how could Gao Shun not understand Lu Bu's temper? This is a Shun donkey. The more he pushes against him, the more he becomes more and more energetic.
It is urgent to notify Zhang Liao as soon as possible.
Gao Shun pondered for a moment and immediately ordered someone to go to Siwu to inform Zhang Liao. At the same time, he sent someone to the court and transferred Cheng Lian to come.
Then, he mobilized his troops in the city. When it was dark, Lu Bu led his troops to Pengcheng, while Gao Shun prepared troops and waited for Zhang Liao to come.
When it was dawn, Zhang Liao arrived in Xia Pi in a hurry.
After listening to Gao Shun's words, Zhang Liao immediately paused and blamed: "Why didn't Xiaogong stop the general?"
"What do you say about Wen Yuan?"
"The enemy situation is unknown, and if you attack rashly, you may not have a chance of winning."
Gao Shundao: "Can you defeat the general even if you are a mere thief?"
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly...
"I heard that some time ago, there was a thief in Runan who defeated the Chuangnu in Ruyin, which made Cao Cao's beloved general Li Tong suffer a great loss.
This person is Liu Chuang, the thief who kidnapped Liu Bei's wife on the bank of Lingshui River.
It is said that he led his troops to flee to Xuzhou. I guess the wave of thieves in Pengcheng is probably Liu Chuang's troops."
Gao Shun blurted out and said, "Wen Yuan said, is that slave who is carrying the master?"
Zhang Liao showed a look of disdain, "It's just the words of Mi Zizhong's family, how can you really believe it?"
Such a person can make Liu Bei suffer such a great loss, how could he be an ordinary person? The so-called slaves who bear the master are still unknown... But this person is indeed not an ordinary person who is so arrogant to Runan. If the enemy of Pengcheng is indeed him, Wen Hou may not be able to get a advantage."
Although Gao Shun didn't believe Zhang Liao's words, he still felt a little worried when he saw Zhang Liao attaching so much importance.
"In this way, we will quickly increase our troops in Pengcheng."
"slow!"
But Zhang Liao suddenly stopped Gao Shun, pondered for a moment and said, "We won't go to Pengcheng."
"Why?"
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "If I were Liu Chuang, I would never stay for too long when I returned to Xuzhou this time, but would have to go north by taking the road.
Therefore, he would never stay in Pengcheng and wait for the general, but would try to cross the river and go to Donghai County. If he wanted to cross the river, he would have to go to Fuyang... The nearest journey from Pengcheng to Donghai County. We will increase our troops to Fuyang. If Liu Chuang stays in Pengcheng, we will cut off his retreat and attack him twice, and he will be defeated without fighting. If he wants to continue north... Pengcheng should be an empty city now."
"You mean..."
"With the nature of a king and a marquis, how can you give up if you take an empty city?
He will inevitably pursue the other party. We will go to Fu Yang and we can join the war. If it were Liu Chuang, he would have to leave Fu Yang; if it was not Liu Chuang, why should you and me worry? With the courage of the king, it will be difficult to resist. So no matter what, we will not be wrong with leaving Fu Yang."
Cao Cao once commented on Zhang Liao: his military power is strong, and his plan is comprehensive.
Cao Pi also said: Zhang Liao summoned the tiger in ancient times.
This is a commander with superb force and extraordinary wisdom.
Gao Shun is good at commanding on the front line. He is a brave general who can charge and take the lead in every battle, but is not a commander.
Therefore, even Chen Gong could not be valued by Gao Shun for many talents under Lu Bu's tent. Only Zhang Liao, in Gao Shun's opinion, was a real expert.
After listening to Zhang Liao's analysis, Gao Shun immediately woke up.
"Then let's go now."
Just as the two of them were igniting their troops and preparing to go to war, a noise suddenly came from outside the government office.
A beautiful woman rushed into the hall in a panic, "Xiao Gong, have you ever seen a bell?"
"ah?"
Gao Shun hurriedly met him, "Madam, what happened to Lingling'er?"
Lingling'er is Lu Bu's daughter, and her big name is Lu Lan.
Lu Bu has no son under his knees, and this woman is regarded as a pearl in her palm and loved her very much. Because she was frightened when she was a child, she later got a warlock to give her a bell and put it on her body, and it quickly returned to normal. It is precisely for this reason that Lu Lan's nickname is Ling Dinger.
Lu Lan was fifteen years old. Although she was a daughter, she liked to dance with swords and guns, and she was like a father.
Lu Bu also taught her carefully. On her 14th birthday, Lu Bu ordered people to imitate his weapons and create a Fangtian Painting Squid for Lu Lan. Lu Lan also gained the nickname of "Little Wen Hou". Of course, it was just a kind joke.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao both love Lu Lan very much.
When he heard that Lu Lan was missing, he was shocked.
"Ling Ding'er quarreled with the general yesterday and was locked in the backyard.
But somehow, when I asked her to have dinner this morning, I found that she was not in the house... I searched all over the royal city, but I didn't find the bell, and her weapons, armor, and the red rabbit horse that the general sent her, were gone, and I was worried that she would go to war with her father."
Lu Lan is good at military affairs and likes to dance with swords and guns at home.
The weapons and armor bags disappeared, and even the little red rabbit that Lu Bu gave to Lu Lan disappeared...that would definitely not have been hijacked.
The little red rabbit is the descendant of the red rabbit breed of Lu Bu. His bloodline is far less pure than the red rabbit, but it is also a rare BMW.
Could it be...
Zhang Liao hurriedly asked, "Why did Lingdang'er argue with the general last night?"
The beautiful woman smiled bitterly and said, "Wen Yuan should know that the general has always regretted that he has no children.
Yesterday, before he went to war, he sighed about this... Ling Ding'er was very unhappy when she heard this. She wanted to go to war with the general. She was scolded by the general, so there was a gap and a dispute started... "
When the beautiful woman said this, her face suddenly turned pale.
Zhang Liao said without saying a word, "Xiao Gong, you are waiting for General Cheng Lian here, and I will lead my troops to Fuyang."
No need to ask anymore, Ling Ding'er must have secretly joined the team and left with Lu Bu.
Gao Shun couldn't help but smile bitterly: Lingdang'er is too bold. When she comes back this time, she must teach her a good lesson.
Although Zhang Liao said it seriously, Gao Shun also agreed with his point of view.
But in his heart, Gao Shun was still influenced by Mi Zhu's "master slave" and unknowingly, he looked down on Liu Chuang.
Lu Bu led three thousand troops and horses to march at night and arrived in Pengcheng at dawn.
But after arriving in Pengcheng, he found that Pengcheng had become an empty city... He asked the village chief and the chief could not explain clearly, and only said that the soldiers and horses in the city were frequently mobilized last night and did not know where the thieves were going. Lu Bu quickly sent a detective cavalry and soon found out where Liu Chuang was going.
As Zhang Liao guessed, when Lu Bu heard that Liu Chuang ran to Fu Yang, he immediately ordered the cavalry to pursue him without saying a word.
This time, Lu Bu led 800 cavalry troops, all of whom were elite under his command.
He also commanded the Feixiong Army at the beginning, so he remembered the three words Feixiong Army, so his guard cavalry is also called Feixiong Army.
Lu Bu didn't even ask what the thieves who occupied Pengcheng came from.
In his opinion, the red rabbit horse under his crotch and the painting halberd in the sky in his palm was enough to flatten the thief.
