"I'm willing to go because I'm humble." Lu Bu said to the crowd, clasping their fists.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "General Lu is a strong general, and all the three armies know it. This battle will definitely bring Sishui Pass into the hands of our army in one fell swoop. When the army wins, General Lu should be the first to take the lead."
Lu Bu clasped his fists and promised, his face shining with excitement. No matter how powerful the enemy was, whether he relied on a fortified city or had powerful soldiers in his hands, in Lu Bu's heart, these two words were always praised and feared. No matter how powerful the enemy was, he would never
Dare to face difficulties and charge into the enemy's formation alone.
After so many years, Lu Bu also understood that his value was that he could only be a fierce general on the battlefield, rather than a strategic general. He was very happy to be able to go out with the army, and he did not have so many extravagant wishes.
Now Lu Bu has a family in Chang'an, and his current efforts are to make great achievements in the future and to have a wife and son.
After everyone dispersed, Guo Jia kept Lu Bu behind. Lu Bu on the battlefield was a rare and powerful general who could influence the situation on the battlefield to a certain extent, but it did not mean that he was a trustworthy general.
"General Lu, what are your plans for attacking Sishui Pass?" Guo Jia asked.
Although Lu Bu was a very qualified old man in the army, he did not dare to offend Guo Jia. He immediately clasped his fists and said: "Military advisor, I will lead my soldiers to attack him unprepared, and kill the Sishui Pass guard who was caught off guard. Wait until he has captured the city."
When the gate is closed, Sishui Pass will be captured, laying the foundation for the army to attack Luoyang."
Lu Bu was very satisfied with his strategy. When Jia Rong captured the royal court of Danhan Mountain, he used this trick to attract the opponent's main force with a small number of troops, and then the army entered the city.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "I'm afraid General Lu's plan was the one my lord used when he attacked Danhan Mountain, right?"
Lu Bu nodded in agreement.
"The armies of the princes are not comparable to the soldiers on the grassland. Although the soldiers of the princes seem to be weaker, once they rely on the city, their combat effectiveness is countless times stronger than that of the Xianbei people on the grassland. This is also the strongest force before.
Xianbei, this is the reason why it has never been able to truly enter the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. If General Lu uses this trick to go there, he will not only frighten the enemy, but he will also be defeated."
Lu Bu looked a little disdainful, but he still tried his best to maintain a respectful look. In fact, it was not that Lu Bu was arrogant, but that from the bottom of his heart he looked down on the counselors who were making suggestions.
"The general at Sishui Pass is Cao Cao's general, General Jin. This man is very strategic in fighting and is good at attacking and defending cities. He built Sishui Pass like a piece of iron. All the common people and merchants coming in and out are subject to strict interrogation, let alone
He led his soldiers to attract troops outside the pass. When he saw soldiers appearing, Yu Jin's first order was to close the city gate tightly and not allow anyone to enter or exit. Does General Lu want to use his cavalry to attack Sishui Pass?"
Lu Bu was secretly shocked. He was a general who didn't like to think. How could he consider these things and always deal with problems from his own perspective? He hurriedly said: "In the opinion of a military advisor, what should we do?"
"Even if a city is fortified, how can it be unbreakable if there are people in it who allow the enemy to enter? No matter how tight the defense is, there will still be some omissions. As long as the key points are identified, Sishui Pass can definitely be defeated at the minimum cost.
Seize it." Guo Jia stared at Lu Bu and said.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up. After thinking about it, he lowered his head and said, "Military advisor, I don't know the generals guarding the pass. How can I order them to open the city gate?"
"The general must not have listened carefully to the Xiliang Army's daily military classes. After he returned home, he copied what other generals had memorized five times," Guo Jiadao said.
"Don't say five times, as long as we can capture Sishui Pass, I'm willing to do it ten times," Lu Bu said.
"When I say copy it five times, it is not as simple as punishing the general, but to make the general remember that any small mistake on the battlefield will lead to the death of his soldiers. The general has followed King Liang for many years and has experienced hundreds of large and small battles. How can he
You don’t have any consciousness at all." Guo Jia scolded.
"I will tell General Lu another important news. General Ma Chao also proposed to General Zhao to be the vanguard of the army, and General Zhao secretly nodded in agreement. However, General Lu is the first to stand up today. It is difficult for General Zhao to refuse. I am afraid you will fail.
After that, the vanguard will change hands and become Ma Chao, and then the credit for capturing Sishui Pass will belong to the Ma family."
"Please teach me, Sir. I will definitely remember your great kindness in my heart. If Sir asks me to do something in the future, Lü Bu will definitely not refuse." When Ma Chao was mentioned, Lü Bu immediately panicked.
"There are many ways, such as secretly ordering soldiers to turn into businessmen, taking the opportunity to sneak into Sishui Pass, open the door, and the cavalry will rush in. Great things can be accomplished." Guo Jia stroked his beard and said.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the strategy would be so simple and that the enemy would not notice it.
"Don't panic, General Lu. Such a strategy will have no effect on a general as cautious as Yu Jin. Before leaving, my lord gave me a trump card that can help the general capture Sishui Pass and maybe capture Yu Jin alive.
"Guo Jiadao.
"Oh, what's the trump card?"
Guo Jia said softly: "After listening for so long, it's time to come out, right? General Wang."
Wang Yue laughed loudly and said: "Military advisor, you are humble and polite." He slightly raised his hand, showing no respect at all. Wang Yue was the army under Jia Rong, and he had assassins in his hands to fight against the lone wolf soldiers. Naturally, there would be
Some shelves.
"General Wang?" Lu Bu looked at Wang Yue and asked. Since Wang Yue joined the Xiliang Army, he rarely appeared in front of the public, and Lu Bu also vaguely heard that Wang Yue was in charge of an elite group of soldiers.
A wolf-like existence.
Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's me. Does General Lu have any questions? Or does he doubt that I am not capable of capturing Sishui Pass?"
Lu Bu is naturally very familiar with Wang Yue. When he was in Luoyang, Wang Yue tried to assassinate Jia Rong and almost succeeded. Even though he was an official under Jia Rong, he could not help but feel sorry for Wang Yue who repeatedly betrayed his master and asked for glory.
He felt shameless, but Lu Bu still admired Wang Yue's martial arts. On the battlefield, Wang Yue was not as good as him. Once he fought alone, he would definitely suffer the loss.
I wonder what Jia Rong would think when he knew Lu Bu had such thoughts.
"Don't dare." Lu Bu said, cupping his fists. No matter what, Wang Yue was here to help him.
Wang Yue doesn't care what outsiders think of him. Now he is satisfied. During his lifetime, he will serve as an important general in the Xiliang army. His status is no less than that of Lu Bu, a strong general who initially followed Jia Rong. He is in charge of
Assassination, this big name, is directly under the command of Jia Rong.
"I wonder what General Wang's plan is?" Lu Bu asked.
"This matter is a secret and should not be passed on lightly. General Lu will know it by then."
Lu Bu curled his lips disapprovingly, feeling a little unhappy with Wang Yue for being so self-indulgent.
In the pitch-black night, the soldiers patrolling the Sishui Gate carefully stared at the outside of the gate, patrolling back and forth without missing any place, because Yu Jin always came to watch from time to time. The day before yesterday, there was a Zhonglang General.
Because they slept secretly while guarding, they were dismissed from their official posts by Yu Jin. They were just a group of small soldiers. If they neglected their duties, they would not be dismissed from their posts, but beheaded directly.
"Zhang San, why are we patrolling like this all day long? It is impossible for the Xiliang army to attack us, and the general has repeatedly ordered us not to miss any patrol. Now other soldiers are doing Qianqiu Dao in the camp.
It’s a dream, alas.”
"Why are you sighing? I have no ability, so I can only patrol. When you come out, you don't have to stay here. Didn't the general say that the Xiliang army is extremely cunning? They may attack at any time. You must be careful.
Be careful, otherwise the higher-ups will blame us, and we will be the unlucky ones." Zhang San said.
The two soldiers walked and chatted, and soon inspected the area they were responsible for.
"Let's sit down and rest for a while. It's a long night, so we need to take our time," the soldier said.
Zhang San agreed, and the two of them sat under the battlements. It was summer, and the refreshing breeze was blowing constantly, which was very comfortable. It was more comfortable than sleeping in a tent.
Two black figures appeared on the gate, silently, and they were also dressed in the clothes of Cao Jun soldiers.
The black shadow nodded towards the distance and walked slowly in the direction of Zhang San.
Zhang Sanwu happened to look back, and after seeing the soldiers walking not far away, he hurriedly reminded: "Hurry up, someone is coming, maybe they are soldiers sent by the general to patrol, and they were hit by them.
If so, we will both be doomed."
The two soldiers stood up and stood up. Zhang San shouted: "Which soldier are you two from? Why are you walking around in the middle of the night? Do you have the general's token?"
"Of course, the general sent us here. You can rest, we will take a look and leave." The soldier said kindly.
Zhang San was about to sit down and have a rest when he suddenly realized something was wrong. If these two people were really sent by the general, how could he sit back and watch them rest here? He would have shouted loudly and beaten them at every turn. The soldiers at the bottom had the least status.
"Zhang San, what's wrong?"
"Something is wrong. Since the general sent us, why did you let us rest?" Zhang San said softly.
"You are overthinking it, maybe the general saw that we were having a hard time patrolling, so he acquiesced," the soldier said with relief.
Zhang San nodded, but the doubts in his heart were still unsolved.
Two soldiers sent by the general to patrol suddenly rushed to the soldier's side, a dagger flashed out of their hands, and slit the soldier's throat.
Zhang San had always been on guard. After seeing the soldiers' actions, he immediately shouted. The loud sound was very abrupt in the quiet night.
The soldier closing the door not far away shouted: "What's going on?"
"It's okay, I fell down and it hurt me to death."
"Be careful. If you make a fuss, let the general know. You will be punished."
Quietness was restored again, but this area fell into the hands of two soldiers. After hastily disposing of the corpses, they closed the door and patrolled arrogantly.
