Chapter 144 Who wants us to be poor?

The Qingzhou army soldiers had not received new weapons and armor for many years.

Since the attack on Tao Qian, the Qingzhou army has never been on the battlefield or fought with anyone.

They have long stopped expecting to achieve merit.

The appearance of Lu Bu gave Qingzhou soldiers hope.

At dawn, the soldiers in the military camp formed neatly.

Accompanied by Xun You and others, Lu Bu came to the military camp.

After riding his horse and walking around in front of the soldiers, Lu Bu stopped in front of the array: "Do you know what we are going to do today?"

His voice was not loud, but the school ground was extremely quiet.

The slightly low voice echoed in the school field, and every soldier subconsciously straightened his chest.

Lu Bu asked them if they knew what to do, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Follow the Marquis of Wen and attack Huainan!"

"Yes!" Lu Bu nodded: "We are going to attack Huainan and break Shouchun, but don't forget that you will take away all the good things and snatch them all the good women. What are we doing in Huainan? We are here to grab them!"

He added another sentence afterwards: "Who wants us to be poor?"

The soldiers burst into laughter, while Xun You looked expressionless and indifferent.

Xu Huang and Li Dian's faces were gloomy and terrible.

Lu Bu encouraged the soldiers to loot, but he even used the excuse of poverty. Xun You and others had long been full of black lines.

No one has ever been able to speak highly of robbery and justified.

What's so bad is that after he said these words, the soldiers' emotions were raised to a new level.

A few simple words inspired the soldiers' emotions. Lu Bu knew that it would be useless to say more, so he waved his hands: "Set out!"

A small number of soldiers were left to guard the army, and the entire army drove out of Zhongli.

Zhao Yun led three thousand troops to open the way first.

From Zhongli to Shouchun, it is only two or three hundred miles away.

Setting off early in the morning, approaching evening, Zhao Yun came to a place only fifty or sixty miles away from Shouchun.

According to administrative division, this place is already affiliated with Shouchun.

Just as he was about to order to station, a fast horse rushed towards Zhao Yun.

The scout he sent earlier was the one who rode his horse.

When he came to Zhao Yun, the scout reported: "Report to General, Chen Dao led 20,000 Huainan Army and was rushing here."

The sunset has fallen below the horizon and the sky has become gray.

It was almost dark, and the army led by Chen Dao was almost at hand.

"How far are they from here?" Zhao Yun asked.

"It's only six or seven miles." The scout replied.

The enemy had already reached a very close place. Zhao Yun knew that if he set up camp at this time, he would probably be raided by Chen Dao.

He immediately ordered: "If you pass the order, you must not set up a tent, and you can rest and wait for the enemy!"

Zhao Yun led his army to rest on the spot, and Chen Dao also got news from the scout that he had arrived nearby.

Chen Dao came to him to recommend himself. Although he had seen his skills, Zhang Xun was always worried about him and decided to accompany the army himself.

The scout who signaled for the return withdrew, Zhang Xun asked Chen: "What are General Chen's plans?"

"What should General Zhang think I should do?" Chen Dao asked back.

"It's not too early, and the enemy will be exhausted all day long." Zhang Xun said: "I think General Chen should take advantage of the night to lead his army to raid in order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

"We have plans to raid. Is the enemy not planning to deal with it?" Chen Dao shook his head: "I think it's better to wait until dawn before streaking against the enemy."

"The only enemy scouts came ahead. If they did not defeat them while they were not firmly established, we would not have any chance of winning when Lu Bu led his army to come." Zhang Xun stubbornly insisted on his opinion.

After all, he was the commander of the entire Huainan Army.

It was just time to join Shouchun, and Chen Dao was not easy to argue.

"I will lead three thousand troops to raid, and General Zhang will lead the army to follow." Chen Dao said: "Once the two armies meet, please ask the general to lead the army forward immediately, and there may be a chance of victory."

He just said maybe, and didn't say enough.

Zhang Xun was very dissatisfied with his reply, but he didn't know how to respond.

"I wish General Chen a success!" There was nothing to say, Zhang Xun could only give in to his wishes.

Select three thousand soldiers and horses, Chen Dao led the army and left.

Watching his back, Zhang Xun clenched his fists.

Having seen Chen Dao’s ability and knowing Zhao Yun’s courage, he only hoped that Chen Dao would not disappoint Yang Hong and him.

The Yuan family in Huainan has no way out.

If Zhao Yun is defeated, he will be able to meet with Lu Bu as long as he successfully breaks through.

If Chen Dao was defeated, Shouchun would never have another chance.

Watching Chen Dao walk away, Zhang Xun ordered: "Send the order and keep moving forward!"

Chen Dao led three thousand soldiers to leave the army, and soon a scout passed the news to Zhao Yun.

The soldiers had been resting for half an hour.

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the entire army to set off to fight Chen Dao.

Two teams with only a few thousand people marched towards each other. Behind Chen Dao was the main force of the Huainan Army led by Zhang Xun, and behind Zhao Yun, the soldiers led by Lu Bu were unknown where they were.

Zhao Yun did not get any news about Lu Bu on the road, but Lu Bu was always paying attention to him.

Only more than ten miles away from the vanguard led by Zhao Yun, Lu Bu led the army to march at a relatively slow speed.

The scout who explored the way came to him: "Qihou Wen, Chen Dao led three thousand people to raid General Zhao, Zhang Xun followed behind him, and General Zhao has led his troops to meet him."

Lu Bu signaled the scout to retreat, and Zhang Liao came over: "Mr. Wen, General Zhao only brought five thousand troops. If Chen Dao dragged him down, Zhang Xun would follow him, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"So we have to speed up." Lu Bu ordered the school next to him: "Send the order to speed up the soldiers. There will be a big battle tonight, and the opportunity to make achievements is here!"

Most of the soldiers in the army were Qingzhou Army, and only a small number were the old subordinates of Lu Bu who had experienced the Battle of Xia Pi.

The Qingzhou army soldiers have been frustrated for many years.

Once there was no longer any expectations for the future, Lu Bu suddenly came to them.

I haven't seen new weapons and armor for several years, and I haven't even received half of the military rations from the Cao family. When I came to Xuzhou, I not only had new equipment, but also had the food I ate. Cao Cao asked me to send it from Xu Du.

Lu Bu said that he could make achievements with him, and the soldiers certainly believed it.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, officials were promoted, although they were mainly from gentry, many capable people in the opposition could make a difference when they met the wise master.

For soldiers in the army, the best way to make a name for themselves is to make more military achievements.

After accumulating a certain amount of military achievements, they have the opportunity to become a military primary and secondary school.

Once you join the ranks of the primary school, you will not only be proud of your fellow soldiers in the army, but also have much less pressure to support your family.

With the desire to make military achievements, the soldiers took steps to speed up the marching.
