Coaches from all walks of life have become the favorites in the eyes of military generals. As long as they are selected, it means they can fight on the battlefield. Otherwise, they will just wait to be left in their hometown.
Three days later, the vanguard army took the lead in setting off, with a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry heading towards Bingzhou. The vanguard, Lu Bu, was clad in armor and holding a square halberd. His cloak was fluttering behind him, and his horse was also on the grassland.
There are countless famous horses, and they are extremely majestic.
The deputy vanguard is Gao Shun. Since the Chang'an incident, Gao Shun's status in the army has not been taken seriously. Although he is still in charge of 800 infantry, he is not welcomed by others. In addition, he is dull and dull, and Li
Shun Yipin only knew how to train soldiers and rarely walked among generals, so he was not famous in the army. This time Lu Bu was the general, so he naturally wanted to promote his former subordinates. Li Shun fell into the camp, and Gao Shun's heavy infantry
They are two elite troops in the Xiliang army. Jia Rong believes that Gao Shun can shine on the battlefield of Bingzhou and win fame.
Like Li Shun, Gao Shun is dull, but he is quick-thinking and has many strategies. It is good to cooperate with Lu Bu, a fierce general. As for not reusing Gao Shun, it is completely nonsense. All the equipment of the heavy infantry will not be used in the trap.
In comparison, it is not inferior at all.
The three armies have not yet moved, and food and grass have gone first. As early as the beginning of the army's departure, countless carriages have already been driven to various places along the way for the use of the army.
Let's say that after Lu Bu left Chang'an, he went straight to Bingzhou. Along the way, he opened roads in the mountains and filled up bridges in the water. He was full of momentum. The thousand cavalry under his command were Xianbei people on the grassland. They were skilled with bows and horses. They were not inferior to the Xiliang army.
It also has a huge reputation on the grassland.
In Fu County, Lu Bu's army was blocked. Who was Li Ru? Not to mention that the intelligence network was spread all over the world. It was difficult to hide the big moves of the Xiliang army from his eyes. When Lu Bu's army had just set off, he ordered Niu Fu
He led two thousand troops to guard Fu County and resist the aggressive Lu Bu army.
The city walls of Fuxian County were in disrepair and the city was low. Lu Bu didn't take it seriously at first.
After the army arrived at Fuxian City, they did not station any troops. Instead, they led a thousand cavalry to Fuxian City and occupied Niufu.
Niu Fu, who was in Fuxian City, looked at the mighty Xiliang Army outside the city with a bitter taste in his mouth. The enemy he least wanted to face was this group of madmen on the battlefield, and Lu Bu, who was under the city, was not only in the Xiliang Army.
He is a famous brave general throughout the world. At that time, outside Hulao Pass, one man fought against Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei. How brave he was.
Faced with Lu Bu's invitation to fight, all Niu Fu had to do was to seize the time to strengthen the city wall and hang the no-war card.
Seeing this, Lu Bu laughed loudly and said: "Niu Fu, you are not a coward. You can only be a coward. How dare you go out of the city to fight?"
Niu Fu stood quietly on the city wall without saying a word. He was sent here by Li Ru. He seemed to have seen his destiny. Lu Bu was just the vanguard, and Li Ru's appointment was to defend Fu County. In other words,
The city remains and the people remain, but the city is destroyed and people perish. Otherwise, Niu Fu will not have any good results with Li Ru's methods.
I think back then, he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. When Dong Zhuo was there, his position in the army did not dare to be provoked. Now many years have passed, even if Li Ru rebelled against the Xiliang army in Dong Zhuo's name, there are still some people in the army who remember Dong Zhuo's past kindness.
A few, to put it bluntly, he became an abandoned son. Thinking of his wife and children, Niu Fu became cruel. A true man went to war on the battlefield and died. Maybe his sacrifice could bring a happy life for his wife and children.
Seeing that Niu Fu did not dare to fight, Lu Bu sent someone to scold him for a while, and then began to set up camp in an orderly manner, quietly waiting for the arrival of the army.
Late at night, Gao Shun came to Lu Bu's camp.
Lu Bu, who had already rested, heard Gao Shun coming and stood up in a hurry. Years of training on the battlefield have made Lu Bu understand a lot of things. Although it is still difficult to calm down when encountering difficulties, he knows that capturing Fuxian requires the concerted efforts of the soldiers.
He still didn't care about the casualties of the soldiers at the bottom, but he didn't dare to talk about it.
"General Gao is here late at night and you don't know why?" Lu Bu sat upright, quite like a general.
Gao Shun cupped his fists and said, "General Lu!"
"I wonder if General Lu is stationed here with his army. Do you have any plans?" Gao Shun asked when he saw Lu Bu was silent.
"This general serves as the vanguard of the army, and what he does is naturally open the way for the army. When General Huang leads the army, Fu County can be attacked in one fell swoop." Lu Bu said slowly.
Gao Shun shook his head slightly: "General, since then, all the credit belongs to General Huang, not to the general. The city walls of Fuxian County are low, so our army has a chance to try. And among the defenders in the city, there are many people from the Xiliang Army in the past.
As long as the secret contact is properly made, the city gate is opened late at night, and the army swarms in, Fu County will be settled. Compared with waiting for the army to arrive and capture Fu County, the general should think more about it."
"The general will not accept the order of the foreign king. I think the general also understands this. If Niu Fu is allowed to free up his hands and feet and mobilize heavy troops to station in Fuxian, even if he attacks, he will lose his troops and generals."
Lu Bu's expression moved slightly. Gao Shun's words were not unreasonable. As long as Fu County was captured, the credit belongs to the vanguard army and has nothing to do with the first army. Otherwise, others will only remember Huang.
Zhong, not Lu Bu.
"What do you think, General Gao?" Lu Bu cast his earnest eyes on Gao Shun.
Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu still had the same irritable temper as before, and couldn't help but smile: "General, I am willing to go to the city to meet Niu Fu. I will tell you the pros and cons and let him open the city and surrender."
Lu Bu said in shock: "No, General Gao is the commander of the infantry battalion. If anything goes wrong, how do you report it to the commander?"
Gao Shun laughed and said: "The general is overly worried. The two armies are fighting without killing the envoy. Besides, Niu Fu has many connections with the Xiliang army. How could he do such a ruthless and unjust thing?"
"General Gao, please be careful after entering the city." Lu Bu's tone was full of worry.
"Well, without further ado, I will sneak into the city tonight and contact Niu Fu." After Gao Shun finished speaking, he clasped his fists and left.
In order to bring Bingzhou back under the rule of Xiliang Army, Gao Shun did not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
"General Niu, there is a man outside the house claiming to be a friend of the general."
"Oh, is there such a thing? Let him come in." Lu Bu's army was stationed outside the city. Niu Fu was not sleepy. He circled dots on the paper, thinking about how to better defend the city and stop the Xiliang army.
, but all the strategies were rejected. In the face of absolute strength, small tricks are of no use at all.
Gao Shun looked back at the soldiers outside Niu Fu's room, ducked inside, and then closed the door.
When Niu Fu heard the noise, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up. He was so surprised that he could fit an egg into his mouth. "Shunzi, why are you here?"
Gao Shun stepped forward, put his finger on his mouth, looked around, and then said: "General Niu, the young general is here this time, but for the tens of thousands of people in Fu County."
When Niu Fu heard this, his expression changed drastically and he put his hand on the sword at his waist. They were both generals in the Xiliang Army and had a good relationship with each other, but now they had to draw their swords to each other for their respective lords.
"Haha, I didn't expect General Niu to be afraid of an unarmed man like Gao Shun? Can't you just listen to me?" Gao Shun said with a smile.
Hearing this, Niu Fu shouted in a low voice: "Go back and pretend that this matter never happened. On the battlefield, I will never show mercy. It is useless to talk more to persuade you to surrender."
"General Niu, are you really willing to work for Li Ru? In terms of wisdom and martial prowess, how can Li Ru compare with the general? When Bingzhou was under the general's command, it was so stable. But now thieves are everywhere, robbers are everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. General
Just for your own selfish interests, let tens of thousands of people fall into the flames of war? All lives will be devastated?"
Niu Fu sighed and said: "Shun, needless to say, I understand all these, but"
"General Niu must be worried about his family. If General Niu is willing to surrender to the Xiliang army, Shun will definitely do his best to bring your family from Bingzhou to Chang'an." Gao Shun stared at Niu Fu with burning eyes.
"If that's really the case, let me think about it." Niu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about Gao Shun's righteousness, but his family was what he valued most. As long as his family was safe, no matter how the people in the world looked at him, he would not care.
What's the problem?
When Gao Shun heard this, he looked overjoyed. Niu Fu had a good relationship with him. Gao Shun was quite satisfied that such good words and persuasion could achieve such results. Niu Fu's considerations turned into a compromise when it came to Gao Shun.
"General Niu is really a wise man. I will definitely speak kindly to you in front of the general."
"No need for good words. I just hope that after the war is over, I can live peacefully in Chang'an with my wife, children and family. Regarding my family, I have to take care of General Lao Gao!" Niu Fu sighed. He was mediocre in leading the troops in the war.
Yong, even though he was used to guard the city, was still a bit tough. Years of life on the battlefield had made him a little tired. This is why Gao Shun relented just after he proposed to take his family to Chang'an.
"There are quite a few soldiers from the original Xiliang Army in the city. Even if I try to stop them, I'm afraid it won't be effective," Niu Fu said.
Gao Shun patted Niu Fu's shoulder affectionately and said, "General Niu is serious. It's just a matter of going to the county. There are still many things that require the general's cooperation. The general's family will arrive in Chang'an soon. Don't worry, Gao Shun will do this."
Guarantee with your head."
"But if you are asked to do something, I will do it without hesitation!" Niu Fu said boldly, without betraying the guilt that Li Ru should have felt. It was Li Ru who threatened him when he betrayed the Xiliang army that day. He had no feelings for Li Ru in his heart.
.
"The general should do this and this," Gao Shunfu'er said to Niu Fu.
After hearing this, Niu Fu's eyes flashed, and he clapped his hands and praised: "What a brilliant idea!"
The next day, Niu Fu summoned the generals of the garrison together, saying that they had important matters to discuss. Outside the Chinese army camp, there were more than a hundred soldiers armed with swords and guns standing in strict formation.
Seeing that the Chinese army's camp was heavily guarded, the generals didn't think anything was wrong. They thought Niu Fu was afraid of being assassinated by the Xiliang army.
