(Author's note: Sorry, I have something to do today. I'm sorry for the late update.) Guo Jia raised his hands to Lu Bu and said, "I don't dare to be a master. The young one is just a captain of the soldiers beside General Wei. He just has a little bit of wisdom.
Make the lord laugh."
Lu Bu heard that Guo Jia spoke fluent Jinzhong dialect and asked, "Where are you from?"
"The younger one is from Xiangyuan, Shangdang County. My surname is Guo. I have no name. Because I am the third eldest child in the family, everyone calls me Guo San." Guo Jia replied.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Guo San, right? Instead of being the captain of Wei Xu's personal soldiers, why don't you serve me as the military chief? There are few people in our army who are resourceful like you."
Man, I won’t ask about your past. As long as you nod your head, you can immediately become my Lu Bu’s military chief and be in charge of the army’s money and food. Do you want to do it?”
When Wei Xu saw Lu Bu taking the initiative to promote Guo Jia, he thought that Guo Jia was also a talent he had discovered. If Guo Jia became the army chief, then as long as he and Guo Jia work together, who among the Jin army would dare not to listen?
His. He immediately said happily: "Guo San, why don't you thank me for your promotion quickly?"
Seeing Lu Bu's arrogance, Guo Jia felt a little admired, and immediately bowed to him: "Little Guo San, it's all at my lord's command."
"Hahahaha! Okay, great. Although Chen Gong is not around, you hid behind Wei Xu and gave me many suggestions along the way, and the suggestions you gave me were often successful. It shows that you are also a resourceful person.
Your boy's name is Guo San. It's not a nice name, so let me give you a name. What do you think?" Lu Bu said happily.
Guo Jiadao: "You can't get what you want!"
"You are the third eldest son in the family, and you are well versed in strategy. According to the division of brother, middle, uncle, and Ji, you are the uncle... You are also the talent I discovered in the Jin army... Well, I have... Guo San
, From now on you will be called Guo Jin, with the courtesy name Shutong." Lu Bu said slowly.
"Guo Shutong?" Wei Xu echoed from the side, "What a good name. The lord is truly worthy of being the lord. Even the name is very superior to others. Guo San... no, no, no... should be called Guo Jin or Guo Shutong, why don't you hurry up?"
Thank you, Lord, for the name?"
Guo Jia also pretended to be happy and said: "Thank you, Lord, for the name!"
Lu Bu said "Yeah", turned his head and said to a cavalryman beside him: "Send this message to the whole army, from now on, Guo Jin will be my army commander, Lu Bu. In addition, find a good horse for the commander."
Horse, the horse he is riding is too thin!"
The soldier said "Promise" and quickly found a good horse for Guo Jia.
After Guo Jia changed horses, he said happily: "Thank you so much, Lord, for the horse. I am very grateful."
Lu Bu smiled and said: "A man should know how to repay his kindness. You should repay me for the kindness you have received from me. However, I don't want you to risk your life. I only want your wisdom. I ask you, do you think I can't capture Chenliucheng?"
?”
Guo Jia was startled for a moment, then slowly thought about it, and then said: "My lord is so wise and powerful that he is invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. How can the small Chenliucheng do anything to defeat my lord?"
Lu Bu laughed and said: "Well said, well said..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu's face suddenly changed, he glared at Guo Jia, and shouted loudly: "Well, you Guo Shutong, since I am invincible in all battles, why do you still give me advice to let me leave the Chenliu Wilderness instead of suggesting it?"
I'm going to attack the city directly, what's your intention?"
Guo Jia faced Lu Bu's rage without changing his expression. He raised his fists and said slowly: "Master, please calm down. I have other reasons for suggesting this."
"What's the reason? Tell me quickly!"
Guo Jiadao: "My lord, our purpose this time is the capital of Luoyang. Although the city of Luoyang has turned into a piece of scorched earth, the dragon vein of Luoyang is still there. In the past, Emperor Guangwu established the capital in Luoyang, wiped out the heroes, swept across the world, and swallowed up all the wasteland.
Luoyang is the land of Longxing, with Hulao Pass in the east, Hangu Pass in the west, Xuanyuan Pass in the south, and the natural barrier of the Yellow River in the north. If the lord takes over this land of Longxing, he will definitely be able to achieve great dominance."
After a pause, Guo Jia continued: "In addition, I heard that a few years ago, a group of heroes fought in Luoyang to compete for the national jade seal. The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu even turned against each other. In the end, Yuan Shu took the initiative.
fire
The city of Luoyang was lost. However, since then, it has been an unknown mystery as to whose hands the imperial seal fell into. Yuan Shao said that he did not get it, and Yuan Shu said that he did not get it either. The imperial seal was just a piece of
Something, could it be that the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo could grow wings and fly on its own? Yecheng has been captured by our army and the Yan army, but there is no trace of the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, and there is no news from Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, so
,this
It is very likely that the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom is still in Luoyang City, hidden under the pile of ruins. If the lord can get the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom and occupy the land of Longxing, he can become the emperor on his own and change the dynasty..."
When Wei Xu heard this, he took a breath. He didn't expect Guo Jia to have such an idea, but he was also a very good flatterer. When he heard this, he hurriedly interrupted Guo Jia's words, cupped his fists and said: "Congratulations, lord, congratulations."
My lord, my lord should go to Luoyang quickly. According to the report from the scouts, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, who surrendered to Ma Teng, have already led their troops to send troops from Hongnong.
Ma Teng has occupied Liangzhou and Guanzhong for a long time, and Luoyang is very close to Ma Teng. Ma Teng didn’t come to occupy it earlier, and he didn’t come to occupy it later. But he came at this time. Ma Teng must have also expected that the jade seal passed down from the country was in Luoyang.
, so we specially sent people to Luoyang. Once Ma Teng arrives in Luoyang, our army will be in vain. Then why will my lord be honored with the title of Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future?"
After Lu Bu heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. He pulled the reins of the horse, sat down on the red rabbit horse with his legs under his legs, turned around and headed west, and shouted loudly: "Send the order to the whole army to speed up. Who dares to delay a step?
I will definitely kill you without mercy, even if I don’t attack the little Chen Liu!”
"No!" Wei Xu happily went to convey the order.
A smile also appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he was filled with infinite joy in his heart. He dismounted his horse and ran forward after Lu Bu. He secretly thought in his heart: "Master, wait, I belong to you."
Lu Bu must be made the chief culprit of the chaos in the Central Plains. Only in this way will all the troops remaining north of the Yellow River be mobilized to the south of the Yellow River, and Luoyang will also become Lu Bu's tomb..."
Running wildly all the way, Lu Bu managed to keep up with his men by stopping and walking all the way because the red rabbit horse was too fast. When passing Chenliu, Lu Bu seemed to deliberately show off his power and did not take the country road. Instead, he took the wide road along the official road.
Go straight to Chenliucheng.
In the evening, Cao Ren was wearing a helmet and armor on the east gate of Chenliu City. He had just received a report from the scouts, and he had a little doubt in his heart. He couldn't figure out why Lu Bu's Jin army suddenly went south, and why they went straight to Chen Liu.
Stay here.
At this time, the four gates of Chenliu City were tightly closed, the city walls were equipped with archers and crossbowmen, and the horse and infantry troops in the city were all ready. Cao Ren stood on the tower of the east gate and saw Lu Bu leading the Jin cavalry in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The cavalry raised up the billowing dust and spread it, making him unable to see how many soldiers and horses Lu Bu had brought.
"Brother, look at this formation, Lu Bu is coming with bad intentions!" Cao Chun, who had been standing next to Cao Ren, frowned and stared closely at the billowing smoke and dust coming from the distance. He couldn't help but feel a little prepared in his heart.
A fierce battle is coming.
Cao Ren frowned but did not speak. However, his left hand kept pressing on the hilt of the sword, holding the hilt tightly.
Man Chong stood on the right side of Cao Ren. He clenched his fingers, his palms were covered with sweat, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Looking at the majesty of the Jin army brought by Lu Bu, he secretly thought in his heart.
Said: "Even if it is the master's tiger and leopard cavalry, he can't do it."
It is impossible to have such a majestic momentum. What kind of person is this Lu Bu? He can be so capable and make the soldiers full of confidence in victory? Is the man riding the red horse Lu Bu? He is indeed very powerful...
"
Seeing that Cao Ren was silent, Cao Chun rolled up his sleeves, revealing two thick arms with black hair, and said loudly: "Brother, you should say something. Seeing that Lu Bu is coming, what shall we do?"
Should we go out of the city to fight, or hold on to the city?"
"Stop arguing! Who is Lu Bu? In front of Hulao Pass, he fights alone with several powerful generals under the princes' tent. Plus, he has a red rabbit horse under his command. How can you do anything to him? If you go to war, there is only death. Maybe you can survive by holding on.
There is a chance of winning. But...it's just that Lu Bu is here
It was too fast. He marched more than a hundred miles in one day. He defeated Baima first and then came to Chenliu. This kind of marching speed didn't seem to care whether the soldiers or the horses were tired. Since he brought only cavalry, then to defend the city, for me
As far as the army is concerned, it will be beneficial." Cao Ren roared angrily.
Cao Chun was Cao Ren's younger brother. Hearing Cao Ren's words, he stopped saying anything. But seeing Lu Bu galloping majestically, he couldn't hold back anymore. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother, please allow me to fight. I only need 500 yuan."
If I ride with tigers and leopards, I can take Lu Bu's head. Our army is now waiting for work. The other army has come from a long distance. They must be short of men and horses. The victory or defeat can be decided in one battle. Please, brother..."
"No! General Cao, please don't be impulsive. Observe the soldiers of the Jin army carefully. All the soldiers are in high spirits, and there is no sign of fatigue. Even the horses under him look full of blood and the enemy's sharpness.
It's a prosperous time, it's not appropriate for our army to go into battle!" Man Chong hurriedly advised.
Cao Ren's eyes were sharp. He saw Lu Bu approaching him with such a majestic air, and said: "When the water comes, the soil will cover it, and when the soldiers come to block it, our army has a city wall as a protection. Measure that Lu Bu..."
"Brother, please look, that Lu Bu...that Lu Bu seems to have turned a corner!" Cao Chun said with a surprised look on his face.
Cao Ren also noticed that when Lu Bu was about to rush to the city, less than two miles away, he suddenly changed direction, bypassed Chenliucheng, and galloped westward without even stopping. The cavalry behind him also followed closely.
Anyway, everyone has a trace of contempt on their faces.
"It seems that Lu Bu is not here to attack Chen Liu... To the west of Chen Liu is Sili. Could it be... Could it be that Lu Bu's target is Sili?" Man Chong said in surprise.
