Now Yuan Shu in Jiaozhou is only worried about Shi Xie and Lu Bu. Shi Xie is now in Guangxin City and cannot go anywhere, but Lu Bu is a scourge. Although he has been defeated repeatedly since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, he has been defeated every time.
He was able to escape smoothly and make a comeback. Now that the Han Dynasty has basically been pacified, Lu Bu cannot be allowed to escape.
"My lord, is it too exaggerated to say that Zilong is coming back? After all, Lu Bu only has 40,000 troops. As long as Feng Yang can hold on, we will have no problem annihilating them all under the city."
Tian Feng was also stunned when he heard that Yuan Shu wanted to mobilize Zhao Yun's entire army to return. He didn't understand why Yuan Shu was making such a big fuss. In his opinion, Lu Bu was just a defeated general, and now that the big man was determined, there was no need to worry about anything.
.
"Lu Bu is a man who can survive from desperate situations every time. Don't slack off. It is said that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. If you want to fight, you must go all out. I don't want to be run away by Lu Bu again."
Yuan Shu shook his head. Although Tian Feng didn't pay much attention to Lu Bu, he didn't want to give Lu Bu another chance.
"My lord, as long as Zilong can capture Guangxin City, Jiaozhou and the others will not be able to overturn the situation. Now that Tiao Zilong is back, Shi Xie may be forced to flee south. I'm afraid there will be another disturbance in Jiaozhou."
Although Yuan Shu explained it this way, Tian Feng still didn't want to disrupt his war plan. He wanted to change the situation in Jiaozhou for Lu Bu. This was definitely not a good choice for his side.
"I have made up my mind. If I am afraid that Shi Xie will flee south, I can let Zilong leave 30,000 cavalry to surround Guangxin, but he must lead his army back."
Even though Tian Feng brought up the entire situation in Jiaozhou, his focus was completely different from Tian Feng's. Tian Feng considered the general situation, while he considered the future. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. I can only say that
Each has its own merits.
"I see."
Seeing Yuan Shu's insistence, Tian Feng had nothing to say. Although he still felt that it was wrong to do so, who called him the lord?
He could only clasp his fists and take orders.
Soon the telegram traveled through space and reached Chen Gong's army who was about to arrive in Guangxin City.
"Commander, telegram from my lord."
After receiving the telegram, the official in charge of the telegram came directly to Chen Gong.
"Um?"
Chen Gong was stunned when he heard that it was Yuan Shu's telegram. What did he mean by sending a telegram at this critical moment?
Is there another emergency?
After receiving the telegram, Chen Gong immediately finished scanning it, but then his brows knitted together tightly.
"Order the entire army to suspend operations."
Chen Gong's order was immediately spread to the entire army, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao did not hesitate to ride their horses directly to Chen Gong's side.
"Commander, what's wrong?"
"Yes, why do we order the entire army to suspend? We are about to arrive at Guangxin."
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao clasped their fists at Chen Gong together and raised their own questions. In their opinion, as long as the army arrives at Guangxin, they can definitely capture it, capture Guangxin City, capture Shixie, and Jiaozhou will be over. Why?
What about stopping?
"Please take a look at my lord's telegram."
Chen Gong didn't say much, and just handed over Yuan Shu's telegram.
When they heard that it was Yuan Shu's telegram, the two of them were stunned. Then Zhao Yun took the telegram first, read it, and handed it to Ma Chao with a frown.
Ma Chao looked at the two people with puzzled expressions and began to read the contents of the telegram.
"Military advisor, what do you mean, lord?"
After reading it, Ma Chao asked Chen Gong directly.
"I don't know what my lord is thinking. It stands to reason that as long as we capture Guangxin now, we won't have to fight the next battle. Why are we sent back with the army? I'm really confused."
To be honest, Chen Gong still doesn't understand Yuan Shu's thoughts after thinking about it for so long. Why?
"My lord, I think I may know your lord's intention."
Just when Ma Chao and Chen Gong were puzzled, Zhao Yun on the side seemed to have some clues.
"How to say?"
After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Chen Gong became interested. He wanted to hear what Zhao Yun thought.
"Military advisor, what do you think of Lu Bu?"
Zhao Yun did not say what he meant immediately, but asked Chen Gong what he thought of Lu Bu.
"Lü Bu is a man who is brave enough but lacking in strategy. If he is a general, there is nothing to say. But as a commander, he is a mess. From my perspective, he will never be a great person."
Chen Gong glanced at Zhao Yun and directly gave his opinion on Lu Bu.
"This is also the reason why my lord made different choices than the military advisor. I think Military Advisor Tian Feng should think so too, but I have a different view on Lu Bu's issue."
Zhao Yun shook his head slightly.
"What do you think?"
Chen Gong looked at Zhao Yun with great interest. He wanted to hear what the other party had different opinions on.
"Although Lu Bu has been defeated in many battles and his battles with us have always ended in failure, he was an unparalleled general who was victorious in every battle before facing us. Such a person cannot be underestimated under any circumstances.
Although he has been defeated by us so many times, he was only in a desperate situation when he attacked Jizhou. In other situations, he was able to escape safely no matter what the battle situation was.
If such a person is given a chance, it may not take long for him to gain momentum again.
Now that the situation in the Han Dynasty has been decided, the other princes are either dead or surrendering, leaving only Lu Bu, a scourge that has come to this point.
The reason why the lord sent troops to come back for reinforcements is to completely pin him to death under Fengyang City."
Zhao Yun directly confessed his thoughts, and his thoughts coincided with Yuan Shu's, which was to kill Lu Bu, the last troublemaker, under Fengyang City.
"Is Lu Bu so important?"
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Ma Chao on the side frowned. In his opinion, Lu Bu was just mediocre. Is he really going to do this?
"I can only say that this may be one of the reasons why the Lord sent us back. As for whether he has other ideas, I don't know."
Facing Ma Chao's doubts, Zhao Yun could only shake his head slightly. After all, he was not Yuan Shu. He could only guess at Yuan Shu's thoughts. Only Yuan Shu himself could know the real reason.
"No matter what my lord's plan is, we have to obey the military order now. Let's do this. Meng Qi will hand over the Xuanwei Army to Zilong's command. You lead 20,000 bandit troops to follow me and continue to march towards Guangxin and surround Guangxin. Zilong
Then lead the remaining Yingyang Army and Xuanwei Army back to Fengyang and surround the enemy with the lord."
Chen Gong probably understood what Yuan Shu meant through Zhao Yun, but he still felt that it was too much to attach so much importance to Lu Bu, but he had no choice. Military orders were military orders, and he could only act according to them.
"I have no opinion."
After hearing Chen Gong's arrangements, Ma Chao had nothing to say. Now the cavalry commanders were only himself and Zhao Yun. Yuan Shu instructed Zhao Yun to return. Although he also wanted to fight Lu Bu, he could only lead his army to Guangxin.
"Okay, Zilong is ready and will lead his troops back immediately. Meng Qi will inform the bandits to continue to Guangxin City."
Since Ma Chao had no doubts, Chen Gong immediately issued a military order.
"promise,"
"promise."
The two of them clasped their fists, and then the tens of thousands of cavalry were divided into two. Ma Chao and Chen Gong continued to move forward to Guangxin, while Zhao Yun led the Xuanwei Army and the remaining Yingyang Army to turn around and run towards Fengyang again.
"Lord, telegram from the public station."
After Chen Gong divided his troops, the telegram was also sent to Yuan Shu's army.
"Bring it to me and see."
After hearing the telegram from Chen Gong, Tian Feng immediately came to Yuan Shu.
"Gongtai took Ma Chao and led 20,000 bandit troops to Guangxin City. Zilong has already led Yingyang Army and Xuanwei Army and started to drive back."
After reading the telegram, Yuan Shu directly told Tian Feng the content.
"In this case, Fengyang should be fine. What we have to do now is to speed up south and block Lu Bu and the others under Fengyang City."
Hearing that Zhao Yun had returned with his troops, Tian Feng had nothing to say. Now it was up to him to see if they could surround the enemy in Fengyang City.
"Immediately order Zhang He, Zang Ba, and Dian Wei to lead the Xuzhou Army and Jianzhong Army to speed south. We must not let Lu Bu escape day and night. Although the battle of Jiaozhou is not over yet, I want to bring an end to the battle with Lu Bu."
Yuan Shu nodded. Since Zhao Yun has gone south, as long as he arrives in time and blocks Lu Bu's passage, then the Han's most powerful general will be finished.
"Isn't it a little too risky?"
After hearing Yuan Shu's order, Tian Feng was also stunned. Now that Xuzhou Army and Jianzhong Army have been transferred, if Lu Bu does not go to Fengyang, but ambush nearby, then they are likely to be in crisis.
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. As you said, Lu Bu and the others are bent on capturing Fengyang. They will definitely not set up an ambush on the road. Let them act quickly. Only after they have solved Lu Bu can I feel completely at ease."
Yuan Shu shook his head. Now he only wanted to capture Lu Bu. As for whether he would be in danger here, that was all nonsense.
"No, I'll make arrangements right away."
Since Yuan Shu insisted on doing this, Tian Feng had nothing to say and immediately clasped his fists to carry out the military order.
"Don't follow me anymore. Just go south with Dian Wei and the others. Remember, I don't care about the others. Lu Bu wants to see people alive and his body when dead. This is my minimum requirement."
Yuan Shu thought again and directly asked Tian Feng to accompany the army and be responsible for commanding the battle to encircle and annihilate Lu Bu.
"I see."
After hearing Yuan Shu's arrangement, Tian Feng nodded directly, then led the Xuzhou Army and Jianzhong Army to break away from the military formation and began to run towards Fengyang at a rapid march speed.
"Xuan Gao, Jun Yi, you two lead the people to speed south. Dian Wei, you lead one hundred cavalry and follow me to Fengyang."
After leaving the army, Tian Feng made corresponding arrangements again, letting Zang Ba and Zhang He lead the army behind, while he advanced with a light vehicle and rushed directly to Fengyang, because only when he arrived in Fengyang could he adapt to local conditions and give Lu Bu a ten
Face ambush.
Lu Bu's 40,000 troops were also heading south. Although he took the lead, it was still a bit slow for Tian Feng, who was purely cavalry in maneuvering. Tian Feng traveled day and night and came directly to Fengyang City.
"General Wei, General Wei is here. Open the city gate quickly."
