Chapter 046: Captured
"No, my injury has healed..."
"I've asked Guard Li for inquiries. General Qiao wanted to take us to make some military achievements, but was strongly opposed by General Zhang, so he lost his qualifications for enlistment..."
Hearing Tang Xun's explanation, Long Xiang frowned and expressed confusion.
"Zhang Xun is the same level as General Qiao. Even if he is appointed as the chief general, how can he interfere in his camp affairs?"
"Ahem, we are famous for our military achievements, and General Zhang is a little worried about such a big incident in Sishui."
Tang Xu spread his hands and followed him to comfort Long Xiang.
"Actually, it's better not to go. I heard that the Xuzhou garrison had only 20,000 yuan, and the strength was very different. The high and low were judged immediately. With Yun Qi's personality, he might not be able to make a fortune..."
Good guy, you said I was afraid of death, but what was wrong with me? How much salary will make me die?
However, in Long Xiang's memory, Lu Bu was eventually defeated by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu had almost no outstanding achievements, so he did not agree with Tang Xu's analysis.
"The success or failure cannot be judged by the number of troops."
Long Xiang shook his head slightly and said, "General Qiao takes good care of us. Even if we can't follow the army this time, we will help us."
"Bang...the place?" Tang Qian scratched his head when he heard this.
Long Xiang was very embarrassed and thought to himself how to burst out the lines of the TV series. There is no such word in this era.
"What we drove out of the words is actually to help. Handing over the forty horses is also considered to be our music department's efforts." Long Xiang immediately changed the subject after explaining.
"Give it all out? Yunqi, you don't know. It will be difficult to get what you give back..."
Tang Xu looked reluctant to let go.
Long Xiang shook his head straight, "General Qiao has taken care of him, and we have no other rewards. These war horses were given by him, and he should do this even if he repaid his favor. If you really can't bear to leave, you will leave a few horses as your feet."
"Listen to you, I'll do it right away." Tang Xu patted his chest.
The Huainan army had assembled and set off to Xuzhou in early April. Lu Bu from Xia Pi was frightened and uneasy when he found out.
The core reason why he dared to destroy the marriage and behead the envoy was that it was not only the praises of Chen Gui and his son, but also the comfort of Cao Cao was that Sun Ce rebelled against Yuan Shu.
According to Lu Bu's thinking logic, the so-called "to fight against foreign countries must first settle the country". Sun Ce rebelled against Yuan Shu in Kuaiji, and came first and then attacked Sun Ce first, but Yuan Shu targeted Xuzhou.
When soldiers came, generals blocked the water and soil. Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, so he went to Chen Gong for advice. However, Chen Gong had resentment because of the rebellion of the marriage, so he said he was sick and unwilling to see others.
Lu Bu had no choice but to invite outsider Chen Gui and Chen Deng to discuss it.
Chen Gui comforted him when he met: "There are no generals under Yuan Shu who are good at fighting, and the soldiers in Huainan are all chaotic. Wen Hou is unparalleled in martial arts in the world. Xuzhou's martial arts are like tigers and wolfs. Why should you be worried?"
"Although the doctor said it was good, the number of Huainan was several times higher than that of Xuzhou. Please give me a good idea to retreat to the enemy."
Lu Bu fought on the battlefield for many years. Although he was addicted to alcohol and sex, he was quite sober when he was in war.
At this time, when Chen Gui was not praised, he really asked for advice.
"Yuanlong, I see that you are eager to try, so I might as well speak out if I have any plans."
Chen Gui signaled Chen Deng not to control himself.
"only."
Chen Deng nodded to Chen Gui first, and then offered a plan to Lu Bu, saying, "Yuan Shu usurped the throne and became emperor, and all the heroes were willing to eat his flesh. The general could write a book on Cao Cao, and Sun Ce to attack his descendants. His father wrote a book on him and asked his father to attack Guangling, as long as there was
If one side puts pressure, the soldiers in Huainan will be timid and will not be difficult to retreat.”
Lu Bu asked: "If everyone is watching from the wall, what if it does?"
"As long as the general defends himself from the front, even if it is a tug-of-war, the troops behind Huainan will inevitably be empty. I'm going to ask if there are benefits in front of you. Who doesn't want to get a share of the pie?"
While Lu Bu was stroking his beard and pondering, Chen Deng continued to add: "Last year, Liu Xuande's army was widowed. He could still fight with Zhang and Qiao. Could the general be worse than him?"
"Of course not. I am just worried that it is difficult to dispatch food and grass..." Lu Bu shook his head gently.
Chen Gui hurriedly said, "Mr. Wen, don't worry, Quaner and I should give our best help."
"Yes, yes, the general should keep a strong general to defend the city this time, beware of Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui's troops to attack." Chen Deng added while echoing.
"Yuanlong, please rest assured that I will keep Gao Boping in guarding Xia Pi, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui have no chance to attack."
Lu Bu nodded for sure. He liked to do sneak attacks, and even if Chen Deng didn't remind him, he would put in a lot of effort.
Thinking of Chen Gong who was furious, Lu Bu glanced at the Chen family father and son again.
Lu Bu held Chen Gui's hand and invited with sincerity: "Chen Gongtai was occasionally infected with the cold, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go to the war with the army. The doctor was extremely wise. Can he follow Bu south to be a counselor?"
"My father is old..."
Before Chen Deng finished speaking, Chen Gui reached out to interrupt him and said, "Yuanlong doesn't have to worry. He is not that weak for his father. Since Mr. Wen has given instructions, I should also contribute to Xuzhou."
"Very good."
Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed and thought that with Chen Gui walking with the army, Chen Deng would have to do his best to supervise the food, and would not be worried about the chaos in Xia Pi, and he would have more confidence in defeating Yuan's army.
March and April are spring plowing, and it is impossible to force the recruitment of civilians on a large scale. Yuan Shu’s logistics supply line is mainly waterways, so Huainan’s march route is still based on Huai River and Si River.
In late April, the Yuan and Lu armies encountered the fields near Louting in the north of Xu County and south of Xiaxiang in Xuzhou. The strength of both sides was tested for the first battle.
Lu Bu had few soldiers but had strong combat effectiveness, while the situation of the Huainan Army was completely opposite, so the outcome became a suspense.
After a few days of stalemate, Lu Bu adopted the plan of separation offered by Chen Gui and wrote a letter to persuade Han Xian and Yang Feng who defected to Yuan Shu.
The two had an old relationship with Lu Bu, and the plan of disagreement took effect.
Han Xian and Yang Feng led their troops to rebel in front of the formation and fought with Lu Bu's troops inside and outside. Zhang Xun's Huainan army was not in a good way and was defeated in an instant. When they fled, the deputy general Qiao Rui was also captured alive.
Lu Bu, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others chased each other. The commander Zhang Xun gathered his troops and ran wildly towards Huainan, and sent a fast horse to ask Shouchun for help.
Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard the war report, and then he gathered troops to pick him up. However, at this time, there were few troops garrisons around Shouchun, and only five thousand infantry and cavalry gathered in a hurry. Yuan Shu had to take charge of the command and cheer up his morale.
As expected, the Longxiang Qu tribe, which is "famous", is still not among the five thousand people.
Because Shouchun City’s air defense was empty, Longxiang’s Qu’er was transferred to the city to defend and assigned to the South Gate of Shouchun to guard the garrison.
Every day, I look at the scenery on the city tower and patrol the surrounding walls like a community security guard.
Longxiong's life is more comfortable than being in the military camp outside the city, and the city defense force has higher food standards.
On the second day of taking office, Tang Xu brought someone to Long Xiang, who was Qiao Rui's youngest son Qiao Yichang.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
Long Xiang's heart skipped a beat. The news that Zhang Xun was defeated and Qiao Rui was captured was no longer a secret in Shouchun City. I thought to myself, what's going on with this child to me?
"Have you heard about my father?" Qiao Yi looked worried.
Long Xiang nodded and analyzed: "I have heard of it, young master, but I'm relieved. General Qiao is not an ordinary soldier. Lu Bu should use him to ask for benefits, so he is not in danger of his life..."
