Chapter 214 Expedition to Wancheng
Pang Tong mentioned the Battle of Xia Pi in front of Lu Bu.
He thought Lu Bu would be a little angry.
But Lu Bu seemed to not care at all, but instead said that he wanted not only Jiangdong but also Xuzhou.
Lu Bu said very domineeringly, and everyone sitting there smiled at the corner of their mouths.
However, Pang Tong did not.
He said to Lu Bu: "It is a good thing for Wen Hou to have great talent and strategy. When it is time to give in, you still have to give in."
"I understand!" Lu Bu nodded and said to Pang Tong: "As long as Shi Yuan is willing to help me seize Jiangdong, I will move the capital to Wujun."
Pang Tong did not tell Lu Bu how to fight, but just proposed a general strategy.
Lu Bu had already realized it suddenly.
Xuzhou and other places are located in the Jianghuai River and Central Plains, with too many powerful enemies nearby.
It’s too difficult to survive in these places!
Capturing Jiangdong and using the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to block powerful enemies is really a correct idea to seek development.
Lu Bu stood up: "Send the order, the army set out today to pursue Sun Ce and attack Jiangdong!"
The order was issued, and the army drove out of Shouchun City that afternoon.
Lu Bu led Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and others to go to war, and Shouchun handed over to Yan Xiang and Ji Ling.
The two of them used to be officials in Shouchun, and they were quite good at doing so.
When he was working under Yuan Shu, the group of people who lost their official titles since Cao Cao got Huainan and had gone to curry favor with the two of them, intending to return to the officialdom through them.
Yan Xiang and Ji Ling, who were staying in Shouchun, were very popular for a while.
Lu Bu, who led his army to leave Shouchun, rode the Red Rabbit at the front of the team.
Zhang Liao came up and asked, "Didn't Wen Hou say that he would wait for Gao Shun and the two generals Sun Guan lead their troops? It is said that the two have led their troops into Xuzhou."
"Send someone to pass on orders to them, and let Gao Shun lead the army to chase us. Sun Guan stayed in Pengcheng and worked with Zang Ba to work with Chen Gongtai to be responsible for the city defense." Lu Bu said: "We don't need so many people to attack Jiangdong."
"I'll arrange someone to do it now." Zhang Liao responded.
"How is Zhou Tai?" Lu Bu suddenly asked.
Zhao Yun next to him replied: "According to the instructions of Mr. Wen, someone asked someone to build a prison car, and he will be sitting in the prison car."
He ordered Zhao Yun and others to continue to advance with the army, and Lu Bu turned around and walked towards the prison cart.
When he arrived at the prison car, he saw Zhou Tai sitting inside, holding his knees in his arms and looking into the distance.
Zhou Tai is also a world-class general. He is certain that he can't beat Lu Bu in a fight.
But being captured by Lu Bu really made him feel depressed.
"General Zhou, what are you looking at?" When he came to the prison car, Lu Bu asked.
Without looking at him, Zhou Tai replied: "Do I have to tell Wen Hou what I see?"
"There is nothing in the distance, and it doesn't matter whether you say it or not." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Anyway, what I am interested in is the general, not the general who is looking at any scenery."
Zhou Tai turned his head to look at Lu Bu with annoyance on his face: "Wen Hou has captured me. If you want to ask, just ask. After asking, just kill me, why should you humiliate me like this?"
"I humiliate General Zhou?" Lu Bu said with a grievance, "When did I humiliate General?"
"Don't Wen Hou feel that he is humiliating me?" Zhou Tai stood up and shook the fence twice: "Prison me in a cage, and still said that there is no humiliation?"
"It's wrong for General Zhou to say this." Lu Bu grinned: "I'm also for the sake of the general. If the general doesn't like it, I can let you go. But after it is released, the general's life is indeed worrying. If the general wants to run away, my soldiers will not stop shooting arrows. For the sake of the general, I can only do this, please forgive me."
Zhou Tai was suddenly covered in black lines.
Locking the person in the prison car, Lu Bu could actually say that it was for his own good...
This is the first time he has seen someone as shameless and excuses as Lu Bu.
Zhou Tai didn't say anything, but Lu Bu laughed: "If I were General Zhou, I would rather sit in this car. I would not have to ride a horse or walk hundreds of thousands of miles like the soldiers. Apart from being bumpy, I would be more comfortable than us."
Zhou Tai was locked in a prison car, and Lu Bu could actually tell the comfort of him walking along the way.
If it hadn't been impossible to beat Lu Bu and was locked in a prison car, Zhou Tai really wanted to slap him twice.
He turned his face aside in annoyance, and Zhou Tai ignored him.
Lu Bu seemed to be in a good mood and rode his horse back to the front of the team.
"What did Marquis Wen go to see Zhou Tai?" Zhang Liao asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried that he will be depressed." Lu Bu replied: "I just chatted with him for a few words and my mental state is in good spirits."
"I really don't understand. Zhou Tai is just a prisoner. How can Marquis Wen take him with him when he fights?" Chen Dao said: "I recruited twice, but I just want to kill him if I refuse to commit suicide..."
"How can a fierce general like Zhou Tai be killed?" Lu Bu smiled and said, "When I capture Zhou Yu, let Zhou Yu convince him well. If you can recruit Zhou Tai to the account, there will be more help in the future."
Several generals looked at each other, not agreeing with Lu Bu's statement.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have a very close relationship, and it is not easy to win him over.
Zhou Tai is another powerful general around Zhou Yu.
It is unlikely to convince Zhou Tai to surrender, and it is even more terrifying to ask Zhou Yu to persuade Zhou Tai to surrender.
The generals did not agree with Lu Bu's idea, but no one said it.
After all, no one was willing to touch Lu Bu's bad intentions and ruin his good mood.
After passing Hefei and entering Chaohu area, the terrain gradually became complicated.
The south of Lujiang is mostly dominated by mountains.
The mountains and forests are rolling and you can still see the flat ground in Huainan, but when you get here, you can see connected mountains and rivers everywhere during the march.
A fresh breath hits my face, and the wind is even stronger than Huainan.
It was already autumn, and the cool breeze blew towards people, making the whole body feel cold, and some soldiers subconsciously shrank their necks.
The south is colder than the north, but in theory.
The weather in the north is dry, and the invasion caused by dry and cold air is not as strong as the wet and cold experience in the Jianghuai area.
The waterways in the southern part of Lujiang River are crisscrossing, and the cool breeze that blows on your face makes people feel more likely to make you get goosebumps all over your body.
Walking in front of the team with a painting halberd, Lu Bu felt the wind a little cold: "It's almost winter, we have to break through Wancheng as soon as possible and prepare winter clothes for the soldiers."
Speaking of winter clothes, Lu Bu, who lived in this era for some time, remembered that every winter people used to keep warm is silk cotton or silk cotton, and there was no cotton that spread throughout the world in later generations.
Compared with cotton, silk cotton is expensive, while linen cotton has poor cold resistance.
Sooner or later, it is a good way to make money!
Lu Bu led his army to advance to Wancheng, while Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who retreated to Wancheng were also preparing for a counterattack at this time.
