Going towards the direction where the dust is the most, it is basically correct.
Gao Shun brought three hundred people when he went out to fight, but less than two hundred people came back.
The damage of the rushing formation is ten times or even dozens of times that of defense.
However, if Gao Shun is asked to choose again, Gao Shun will still choose to rush forward.
There may be too many reasons in life, but sometimes you may not know why every time you do something.
『General Gao is back!』
The soldiers cheered.
But after hearing this news, Lu Bu, who was excitedly coming out of the tent, saw this situation, suddenly lowered his face and did not continue to move forward, but turned back into the tent.
"Meet the lord."
Gao Shun entered the big tent and bowed his head and bowed.
Lu Bu was silent for a while, and without asking Gao Shun to get up, he asked directly: "Why did you lead the front army, why did you lose?!"
"Shun was speechless." Gao Shun still lowered his head, "please punish the lord."
Lu Bu stared at Gao Shun, then waved his hand, "Get up, sit down first."
After Gao Shun sat down, Lu Bu asked Gao Shun about the relevant arrangements before.
Gao Shun also said it in detail, without any exaggeration or concealment.
Lu Bu asked some details again, and then pondered.
Lu Bu knew that there was no big deal between Gao Shun and Wei Xu, so when he led the troops, Lu Bu was also expected in his heart, but Lu Bu wanted to know if Gao Shun intentionally killed Chang Cheng, or something wrong with Gao Shun himself. However, according to Gao Shun's performance and answers now, Lu Bu could not see anything abnormal about Gao Shun, nor did he think there was any problem with Gao Shun...
At most, Gao Shun did not protect Chang Cheng, but if Lu Bu could only survive one of Gao Shun and Chang Cheng, then Lu Bu would naturally choose Gao Shun.
Although sometimes Gao Shun's speech is not nice and sometimes Gao Shun will make him angry, Gao Shun is more important than Chang Cheng.
"This matter will be discussed after the war!" Lu Bu waved his hand and said that he would not say it for the time being. Then he asked Gao Shun in detail about chasing the horse thief and defeating Ma Xiu and others. When he heard the excitement, he waved his arms and laughed, "Not bad! Hahaha, Bo Ping showed his might! OK, very good!"
When Gao Shun said that he finally fought with Pang De and then let Pang De go, Lu Bu was not only unhappy, but also expressed his approval, "This is a warrior! Bo Ping did the right thing!"
Lu Bu actually held back at that time, otherwise it might not be a difficult thing to really harvest an enemy general who escaped under Lu Bu's archery skills. If he held back, he naturally felt that there was no problem with Gao Shun's resoluteness.
In the Romance of Legend, Guan Yu's behavior of letting go was the most serious, but he would not let Cao Cao go, so he was cursed by later generations as a lackey for being a collusion-in-arms.
"What a pity, what a pity!" Lu Bu sighed, "Such a good man actually surrendered to the thief!"
"I guess he has some difficulties..." Gao Shun replied.
"By the way, are you still injured? But what's the point? Has any military doctor seen it?" Lu Bu seemed to have seen Gao Shun's injury only then.
Gao Shun said that the doctor had rebanded him, and the problem was not big.
『Hmm…』 Lu Bu nodded, and then thought of something again, 『Boping, you said you met some Kushan soldiers while getting water?』
Gao Shun nodded, and then someone brought the confiscated Kushan armor.
『Hmph, haha, I recognize this, yes, the text on it is Kushan... and it is a Seminar, haha..." Lu Bu smiled and weighed the sharp-angled helmet in his hand, "It's interesting, it's really interesting... I just said, if it's just a horse thief, how could he do so many things... Kushan, it's great, it's great...』
Gao Shun said: "But when I attacked the horse thief camp, I didn't see these Kushan people."
"Swish!" Lu Bu laughed disdainfully, "These rats must have received the news that I sent troops and hid... But what's the use of hiding? This time I have to overturn the rat hole in one breath. See where these rats can hide?!"
Lu Bu spoke with murderous intently, but Gao Shun was stunned.
"Lord, since this horse thief has been defeated..." Gao Shun said, "Why do you still have to raise troops?"
Lu Bu waved his hand, "You don't understand Boping. This is the appearance of a horse thief. Weeding should be eradicated, otherwise it will be resurrected next year! Since it is the Kushan people who are making trouble, the Kushan people will pay the price!"
Gao Shun was silent for a while, "Can the lord have a target for march?"
This so-called "price" is because Lu Bu wants to fight Kushan?
Lu Bu glanced at Gao Shun and said, "At least we must conquer Guishan and Ershi's two cities!"
『…』 Gao Shun was even more silent.
Guishan, Ershi.
Although it is the four light words and two place names, it does not represent that simple.
Others don’t know where Guishan and Ershi City are, but Gao Shun knows it.
Guishan is the capital of Dayuan, while Ershi is the place where Dayuan produces sweat and blood BMWs. It is the two most prosperous cities in Dayuan. For Dayuan, its status is like Chang'an and Luoyang of the Han Dynasty.
Lu Bu said with great enthusiasm: "Last time we just fought to Chigu City, obviously they have not learned the lesson they deserve... This time, we not only have to attack Chigu City, but also continue to go west and attack Guishan Ershi along Shule!"
Speaking of the rise, Lu Bu even sang: "The sky horse comes from the west, passes through thousands of miles and returns with virtue! That's right! I've asked someone specifically for these words! Hahaha, hahahaha!"
That's right, Guishan and Ershi are both west of Chigu City, not only to the west, but also Dayuan, which also needs to be crossed through the Tianshan Mountains, was once conquered by the Han Dynasty. The songs sung by Lu Bu were exactly the poems written by Emperor Wu of Han after conquering Dayuan in the Western Regions.
Many people think that Emperor Wu of Han in history spent his country on attacking Dayuan for the sake of the blood-sweat BMW, but in fact it was not just because of Emperor Wu of Han's personal preferences or just because of his greed for the blood-sweat BMW.
Emperor Wu of Han sent troops more to maintain the "Wealth and virtue" of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions. After Zhang Qian returned from his first mission to the Western Regions, he suggested establishing "Wealth and virtue" in the Western Regions to rule in his report to Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu readily agreed. It was not easy for Emperor Wu of Han to manage the Western Regions and establishing "Wealth and virtue" was not easy. Therefore, when Emperor Wu of Han challenged Emperor Wu of Han in the Western Regions, Emperor Wu of Han would definitely not tolerate it. Therefore, when Che Ling and others were killed and the gifts they brought were robbed, Emperor Wu of Han ordered Li Guangli to lead his army to attack Wan to consolidate the "Wealth and virtue" of the Western Han Dynasty in the Western Regions.
However, with the great talent and strategy of Emperor Wu of Han, controlling the country's Chengdu and the logistical support of the entire Han Dynasty, it is not easy to attack Dayuan...
Emperor Wu of Han fought against Dayuan twice, but the first time failed, and the second time was successful.
The first time he underestimated the enemy, Yao Dinghan and others, who had been on a mission to Dayuan, advised Emperor Wu, "Wan's soldiers are weak, and they are only 3,000 Han soldiers, and they will be defeated by strong crossbows." Therefore, when the first expedition was launched, the Han army had only tens of thousands of people, and they were mainly "evil young men". The battle was not strong. The Han army fought hard to reach Yucheng City in Dayuan. As a result, they failed to conquer and had to withdraw their troops. Finally, when they returned to the Han Dynasty, the remaining soldiers were no longer "tithings" when they set off.
Because of the first failure, Emperor Wu of Han was furious. After a fierce debate, the second Battle of Dayuan came.
Learning from the first lesson, Emperor Wu of Han expanded his army to more than 60,000 during his second expedition, and added grassroots military academies, and also added various types of craftsmen. It can be said that it is a feat of exerting the whole country's strength. The number of soldiers and the abundant supplies is unprecedented. The total number of expeditions exceeded 100,000, which shocked the countries in the Western Regions.
In the second battle to attack Dayuan, Emperor Wu of Han did win the final victory, conquering Loulan, slaughtering Luntou, and breaking Yu Chengcheng, who was unable to conquer the last time, until he besieged Guishan City, the capital of Dayuan.
"Shun once heard that Guishan City was the capital of Dayuan, and had high walls inside and outside... " Gao Shun told the situation of Dayuan that he knew, and emphasized that even if we were rushing thousands of miles to reach Guishan, we might... the army in the past besieged Guishan, but it never came down for forty days, and the lord is now in a state of people... Please think carefully..."
Gao Shun actually wanted to explain the previous and after the expedition to Dayuan, and he also wanted to tell Lu Bu about the various negative effects that the Dayuan War had brought to the Han Dynasty at that time, and the serious losses of the soldiers, horses, etc.
These losses were not something that Lu Bu could resist...
Just calculate the second time to go to the Wan, the evil boy and the border cavalry had more than 60,000 people, and the "selfish followers" did not count within these 60,000 people. In addition, the "selfish followers" were sent to transport military rations and other materials. The overall number of people dispatched exceeded 10,000, but the number of soldiers returned to Yumen Pass was only 10,000.
When setting off, there were "100,000 cattle, more than 30,000 horses, donkeys, mules, and tens of thousands", and the rest of "selfish followers", as well as the domestic "Seven Cases" to drive cattle and horses, etc., but when the army was circling, there were only "more than 1,000 horses", including the blood-sweat BMW presented to Emperor Wu of Han...
Gao Shun said sincerely, "Lord, we are not ready for many things... It is said that the lord went on the expedition and even seized all the goods from ordinary caravans... and did not report to the cavalry...
What Gao Shun wanted to express was that even if he wanted to go to war, he would have to get contact with the General of the Cavalry and get supplies from the support, so that he would be more confident. However, Gao Shun himself was not very good at speaking, and neither the tone nor the words were tactful enough. It seemed that when Lu Bu heard it, he was trying to ask him to ask General of the Cavalry Fei Qian. This made Lu Bu feel very uncomfortable, and his eyes became more and more unkind when he looked at Gao Shun.
"These are all small things! I have my own arrangements!" Lu Bu waved his hand, obviously a little unhappy, "You don't have to worry about it! This time, I will not care about your previous defeat of the army for the time being! Let you lead the vanguard! I will calculate the merits and demerits after the war! This matter has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it! I said, I will drink at the head of Guishan City next year!"
Lu Bu's fighting spirit rose and his aura was majestic.
Is there anything more interesting in this world than fighting?
The world is invincible when the long sword points!
Whoever doesn’t accept it will chop off his head!
Now, Lu Bu has repeatedly determined that this is the Kushan conspiracy, and Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is to defeat this huge conspiracy and achieve the greatest merits of the Western Regions!
fighting!
attack!
What is the meaning of calculating this and that every day at home? My Mr. Lu Feng is here to be a man on the battlefield! The king of war! I want to use the Fang Tian Painting Ji to make a peerless contribution!
…━((*′д)日(′д*))━!!!…
When Lu Bu let out a roar full of fighting spirit, Cao Zhen was also full of fighting spirit in Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
『We must cause some trouble for the cavalry and slow down his pace...』 Cao Zhen said very seriously, 『We can't just spend it like this... The longer the time delays, the more unfavorable it will be for us...』
Cao had been to Chang'an in person. He had a deeper understanding of the Sanfu Chang'an and Guanzhong land than ordinary people in Shandong. He knew that Shandong was behind in some aspects.
This kind of backwardness does not mean that you are a little stubborn or pretend that you can't see it, but you can think that you have nothing.
Especially when Cao Zhen originally thought that after the war in Jingzhou, he could learn from the development of the Sanfu in Chang'an to restore his life and improve his economy, but Cao Zhen was very disappointed. It was as if he had done ten things, but only one thing seemed to have some effect. The hard work and hard work in other things was like throwing into an endless abyss without even a single echo.
No one can tell Cao Zhen why. After all, even Xun Yu doesn't understand Fei Qian's operation methods very well, let alone Cao Zhen, who has lower capabilities in economy and people's livelihood.
This situation made Cao Zhen very worried.
He felt that this gap would increase with the extension of time. The internal strife of the Shandong gentry originally thought that the Xiliang group and the riots in the Western Qiang seemed to have no special impact on the Guanzhong regime. So once this gap is established, when Cao Cao grows old and Cao Pi takes office, it may have formed a difference between heaven and earth, and a difference between clouds and mud. Even if you want to do something, you may be powerless and irreversible.
Therefore, Cao Zhen felt that it is necessary to disrupt the development of Guanzhong, at least to delay and slow down, or to cause some trouble for the three auxiliary servants of Guanzhong...
And now, the best opportunity is here.
Pang Degong passed away.
This is a sad autumn.
Under the peach blossom forest, dry branches and leaves.
The spring flowers have withered, and the autumn frost has turned cold.
The dead are gone, but the living are fighting endlessly, looking for opportunities to try to bite some flesh and blood from the other party.
Cao Ren and Cao Zhen were not very sad about the death of Pang Degong. They just felt a little excited and nervous.
『I'm sure!" Cao Zhen clenched his fist and said, 『Pang Shiyuan is in Wancheng! It's indeed in Wancheng! Pang Degong passed away, and in the mourning hall, my people saw Pang Shiyuan with their own eyes!』
In Wancheng, the memorial ceremony held for Pang Degong will naturally be larger and more complicated than in Chang'an. Even if Pang Tong hides it, he will reveal his whereabouts.
Cao Zhen sent his confidant to disguise himself into Wancheng. With great attention, he confirmed that Pang Tong was in Pang Degong's mourning hall.
『Hmm…』 Cao Ren nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Zi Dan thought, how long will Pang Shiyuan stay?"
"Pang Shiyuan is the son of Mr. Pang, so he has to keep mourning for seven days..." Cao Zhen calculated, "But it's only a few days, he will definitely go back! After capturing Pang Shiyuan, we claimed to invite him to Xiangyang as a guest! Promote it!"
Cao Ren also laughed and nodded slightly.
Generally, if a heavyweight like this is not killed, he will try not to kill, unless he has to be forced or cannot be captured alive and can only kill those who are in front of the formation, then there is nothing he can do.
The value of capturing alive is obviously greater than that of killing.
Of course, it would be even better if Pang Tong could still surrender to the Cao family.
Even if it fails, just like Cao Cao was very tolerant of Guan Yu in history. He had a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days and a big banquet every so that everyone could see Guan Yu's beard?
Obviously not.
There are many Jingxiang people in Guanzhong, and among the Jingxiang people, Pang is obviously the leader. If Pang Tong appeared in Xiangyang and became a guest on Cao Ren at this time, it would inevitably cause a lot of speculation...
Even Fei Qian will start to suspect Pang Tong. Will Jing Xiang’s people in Guanzhong be implicated?
Cao Zhen’s strategy is undoubtedly the same as the strategy that Cao Cao used after he captured Guan Yu in history.
Cao Ren nodded slowly.
He also agreed with Cao Zhen's strategy, but he quickly said: "Pang Shiyuan is resourceful and should be careful... We have sent people to Wancheng to inquire, and naturally, people in Wancheng also come to Xiangyang... If we have any abnormal movements, we must know..."
Cao Zhen said: "The characteristics of Pang Shiyuan are... Haha, it's too obvious... I have sent many people to keep an eye on the four gates of Wancheng day and night. Whether Pang Shiyuan goes directly to the West Gate or pretends to be at the other gates, you will definitely be able to discover them!"
『Well…』 Cao Ren nodded, 『However, according to the scouts, Wei Wenchang led the Hussein soldiers at Wuguan, who were in the name of training and traveled to and from Wuguan Road, probably to meet Pang Shiyuan.』
Cao Zhen nodded, "It's true. However, when Pang Degong died, both Pang Shiyuan and Wei Wenchang could not determine the time limit, so he would inevitably not cooperate with Wujian..."
Cao Ren nodded again.
That's true.
Sometimes the elderly are very capable of dragging, and sometimes they are very fragile. No one knows when God will accept people. After all, sometimes black and white impermanence may have too much business and are too busy, or there may be traffic jams on the road...
So even if Wei Yan was waiting and preparing to take over Pang Tong, because the time could not be set, he would inevitably go back and forth, one wave after another, and one rotation, and in this rotation, perhaps Cao Ren and Cao Zhen had the opportunity.
"I'm afraid there was a connection between Pang Shiyuan and Wei Wenchang," Cao Ren said slowly, "Pang Shiyuan will only act after Wei Wenchang takes office."
Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment.
This is a problem.
However, after thinking for a while, Cao Zhen suddenly thought of a solution, "General, if I immediately send someone to rumor in the city, saying that there is a change in Jiangdong and the intention of attacking Jingzhou..."
Cao Ren's eyes lit up, "Miscellaneous plan! This is the bento!"
