Chapter 1059 The careful thinking of the threesome
As Chu Yi finished speaking, Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the hall. They bowed respectfully to Chu Yi and said, "The general is here!"
Chu Yi glanced at the two of them and said, "I'm ordering you two to each lead three thousand elite cavalry out of the city, mainly to harass the coalition's food routes. You must make it difficult for the coalition's food supply to continue."
As he spoke, Chu Yi stared at the two excited faces and said, "Please remember one thing, don't get entangled with them. Just leave with one strike. The main thing is to burn the opponent's food."
Both Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci are fierce generals. There is no problem in letting them fight with others, but if they are asked to compete with others for their wisdom, there will be a big difference.
If they are entangled in someone's calculations at that time, they may both fall.
After all, Chu Yi also knew that there were crouching tigers, hidden dragons among the coalition forces. There were many fierce generals and wise men whose reputations had not yet spread.
Just like the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, if the three of them teamed up to besiege Lu Bu, even Lu Bu might not be able to bear it. As for confronting Taishi Ci, then Taishi Ci would probably die.
That's why Chu Yi warned the two of them like this, because he was afraid that if the two of them had no priority, they would become red-eyed and someone would take the opportunity to plot against them.
Looking at each other, Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci agreed in unison.
The two retreated, and Chu Yi said again: "Gan Ning, Yan Xing!"
Seeing Gan Ning and Yan Xing standing up, Chu Yi said slowly: "The two of you went to destroy the water source of the coalition forces. You are also focused on destruction. You cannot be reluctant to fight."
The four generals took their orders and left. There was only one person left in the hall. Chu Yi looked around at the people and said: "The rest of the people will follow Chu to sit at Hulao Pass and wait for the reaction of the coalition forces."
The coalition forces have a numerical advantage. If they leave the advantage of the city and really go out to fight with the coalition forces in the wilderness, to be honest, the outcome will be really unpredictable. Even Chu Yi cannot guarantee it.
Can defeat the coalition forces.
A few days passed suddenly, and the coalition forces were not in a hurry to attack the city, but seemed to be attacking steadily. However, the siege equipment was quickly built in these few days. I believe that once the city is attacked,
When the equipment reaches a certain level, it will be time for the coalition forces to attack the city.
On this day, among the coalition forces, as a large number of siege equipment was built, all the princes, including Yuan Shao, showed a bit of smiles on their faces.
After several days of rest and recuperation, the men and horses under the princes were a little more calm than before. At least some of the farmers who had just picked up swords and guns looked more like soldiers.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, which suddenly woke up all the princes in the big tent.
Although it was impossible for more than a dozen princes to be here, there were still seven or eight princes gathered here. At this time, several people looked towards the entrance of the tent.
I saw a general wearing a dusty appearance, walking into the big tent, falling to the ground and bowing down: "General Qiao Rui pays homage to the leader of the alliance, my lords!"
The person who came was none other than Qiao Rui, a general under Yuan Shu's command.
Yuan Shao handed over the responsibility of taking care of the grain and escorting the grain to Yuan Shu. After all, even Yuan Shao had to appease Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction. At any rate, Yuan Shu still had quite a number of supporters among more than a dozen princes, so guarding the grain road was so important.
Handing over the matter to Yuan Shu can be regarded as a kind of explanation to Yuan Shu from him, the leader of the alliance.
Seeing Qiao Rui's embarrassed appearance, everyone present instinctively felt a bad feeling in their hearts, but they did not speak, but looked at Yuan Shu, who looked gloomy.
Yuan Shu was sitting there with a very ugly expression on his face. It would be strange if Yuan Shu's face looked better. After all, Qiao Rui, as his subordinate, appeared in such an embarrassing state in front of all the princes. Wouldn't this make him lose face?
Nothing left?
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shu snorted coldly, looked at Qiao Rui and said: "Qiao Rui, let me ask you, I ordered you to escort the grain and fodder, why are you here?"
Qiao Rui couldn't hear the coldness in Yuan Shu's words. She trembled in her heart and couldn't help but trembled: "The general was so incompetent that the grain escort was burned by Lu Bu and his army, and only a few people were able to escape..."
With a bang, the cup in Yuan Shu's hand was smashed in front of Qiao Rui, and he shouted: "How can you bear the responsibility for losing food and fodder?"
Qiao Rui put his head against the ground, not daring to make any movement.
At this moment, a slight cough came, but it was Yuan Shao who was sitting there and said: "General Qiao, please tell everyone the specific story."
Qiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized how he was caught off guard by Lu Bu's sudden attack. The soldiers escorting the grain were not elite themselves, how could they withstand the menacing Lu Bu's troops? The result can be imagined
You know, most of the troops were killed and dispersed, and even the grain was burned to ashes by Lu Bu. That means Lu Bu didn't pursue him. Otherwise, Qiao Rui might not have a chance to escape.
Listening to Qiaorui's description, everyone could probably restore the scene at that time, and everyone couldn't help but show some sympathy in their eyes when they looked at Qiaorui.
It's not good to meet anyone, but it happened to be Lu Bu. It was already quite difficult to escape alive.
At this time, several princes present had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, but a scribe in green shirt sitting next to Han Fu had a condensed look on his face, and bowed his hand to Yuan Shao with a somewhat solemn look on his face.
He said: "Leader, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Yuan Shao glanced at the blue-shirted scribe, with a hint of admiration in his eyes and said, "So it's Gongyu. I wonder if Gongyu has anything to say?"
To be honest, Yuan Shao admired Jushu very much, but he was an official of Han Fu. No matter how much Yuan Shao admired him, he could not directly recruit him, but his appreciation for Jushu was beyond words.
Ju Shou stroked his beard and said solemnly: "Alliance leader, gentlemen, if I am not mistaken, what happened to General Qiao Rui is definitely not an accident. I am afraid it is a means by Chu Yi to target us."
For a moment, no one could react, and they heard Ju Shou's extremely sure words: "No food!"
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this. As a prince, no one is a fool. How could he not understand that for an army of hundreds of thousands, the importance of food is absolutely more important than anything else.
If it is true that Chu Yi is eyeing their food route as Jushou said, then they will probably be in big trouble next.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, looked at Yuan Shu and said: "Gao Dao, do you have anyone else under your command to report?"
Even Yuan Shu looked a little solemn. Although he looked down upon Yuan Shao, he was not a fool and would not go against Yuan Shao at this moment. Instead, he pondered for a while and said: "I ordered Qiao Rui, my subordinate.
, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Lejiu each commanded 3,000 men and horses to escort the grain in four directions. Everything went very smoothly before..."
While they were talking, another burst of rapid footsteps came, and everyone felt a thump in their hearts. When they looked up, they saw a general with disheveled hair and blood all over his body entering the tent. He bowed down and said: "General.
Please come and accept your guilt."
Just looking at Lejiu's reaction, combined with Qiaorui's experience, if everyone present didn't know what happened to Lejiu, then they wouldn't deserve to be here.
Yuan Shu stood up suddenly, stared at Lejiu and said, "Lejiu, could it be that you were also robbed of food?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's question, Le couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Before he could say what happened to him, Yuan Shu asked what he wanted to say, but Le immediately nodded and said: "General
We were escorting back the grain and fodder, but we were attacked by a general with thousands of cavalry on the way. The general couldn't resist and could only watch as the enemy burned the grain and fodder."
"The Chu Thief must be the troops sent by the Chu Thief. It seems that he has really set his sights on our food route."
Sun Jian's eyes flashed and he said: "Alliance leader, we must find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, once the hundreds of thousands of troops are short of food and fodder, I am afraid that there will be no need for Chu thieves to lead the army to attack, and we will collapse without attacking."
It’s over.”
Yuan Shao didn't know this, but it was not easy to solve this problem. However, Yuan Shao did not show his emotions, but looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, do you have any good advice for me?"
At present, Yuan Shao is still able to listen and give advice, as if he is listening to everyone's suggestions.
Gongsun Zan said slowly: "Then send more people to guard the grain road. I don't believe they can burn the grain with the overwhelming force."
Obviously Gongsun Zan's suggestion is the most direct, but one thing is that once this method is adopted, a great deal of energy will be spent to maintain the smooth flow of grain channels.
Everyone else, you look at me and I look at you, but there is no better way. After all, if others are targeting your food route, the only way is to use soldiers to cover up the water and earth. There is no other better way.
But at this moment, a stern look flashed in Ju Shou's eyes and he said: "Leader, I have a plan. Maybe I can teach the other party a lesson, and at least make the other party restrain their behavior."
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "If you have any good ideas, sir, please tell me quickly."
Ju Shou spoke in a low voice, and Yuan Shao's eyes could only be heard shining brightly. Finally, Yuan Shao laughed loudly, looked at Ju Shou and said: "Young Master and a great talent, this plan will definitely work. I will remember your success when you introduce me to him."
On a remote road, a group of soldiers was slowly moving forward. For several miles, there were transferred laborers and thousands of large vehicles. Needless to say, this was the allied army's transport team.
There are several grain transport teams like this, responsible for transporting a steady stream of grain to the coalition forces to supply the daily consumption needs of hundreds of thousands of troops.
The person in charge of this grain transport team was none other than Qiao Rui, who had been robbed before. Qiao Rui was riding on a war horse, feeling very anxious and nervous.
The silence all around made Qiao Rui feel more and more worried.
It's true that whatever you're afraid of comes, Qiao Rui was just worried that an enemy would suddenly come out, but before he could recover, there were shouts of killing from all around, and one of the leading generals galloped over.
If it wasn't the Lu Bu he met before, who was he?
The moment Qiao Rui saw Lu Bu, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but something came to her mind. Qiao Rui clenched the weapon in her hand and shouted: "Be on guard, all soldiers must be on guard, be sure to protect the food..."
Lu Bu heard Qiao Rui's panic shouting from a distance and couldn't help laughing and said: "If you want to protect the grain, you should first ask me, Lu Feng, to draw a halberd in his hand."
As he spoke, Lu Bu struck the halberd in his hand towards Qiao Rui fiercely. With Qiao Rui's little cultivation, if he was targeted by Lu Bu, he would probably die.
A murderous intention locked on Qiao Rui. Qiao Rui felt as if he was falling into an ice cave. Even the energy and blood in his body showed signs of stagnation. In other words, just the momentum of Lu Bu's moves had already captured his power.
It suppressed his will and made him unable to move.
"If you don't take action, I'm afraid Qiao Rui will die."
At this moment, a roaring sound came, and a figure was seen carrying an ancient sword and slashing towards Lu Bu. Not only this figure, but several figures exuding a strong aura also sprang out, and the target was Lu Bu.
In addition, the hard laborers who were originally responsible for escorting the grain took off their clothes one by one, pulled out weapons one by one from the grain cart, and pounced on Lu Bu's men like tigers.
The nearly 10,000 hard laborers were all dressed up as elite soldiers. At this moment, one by one they came out with swords in hand and blocked thousands of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.
After all, Sun Jian and others were obviously prepared, and it was obvious that this was probably a trap set against Lu Bu, Taishi Ci and the others.
If you are not lucky enough, once Lu Bu and his men are caught in a tight siege, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
How could Lu Bu not see such a situation? He knocked Sun Jian away with the halberd in his hand, and shouted with a loud roar: "Retreat!"
No matter how stupid Lu Bu is, he realizes that this must be a trap set by the coalition forces. He would be a fool if he didn't retreat even though he knew it was a trap.
Especially among the people who took action just now, even Yan Liang and Wen Chou appeared. This shows that the coalition forces really want to give Lu Bu a hard blow this time.
If he were to fight alone, Lu Bu would not be afraid of anyone, but now that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Sun Jian all appeared, plus a dozen generals who were obviously not weak in strength, no matter how conceited Lu Bu was, he could not guarantee that he could
He managed to escape unharmed under the siege of so many people.
Although Sun Jian was hacked away, because Yan Liang and Wen Chou came out, it was impossible for Lu Bu to target Sun Jian alone with all his strength, so Sun Jian just took a few deep breaths and swallowed the energy of heaven and earth to dissolve the injuries in his body, and once again he was fierce and powerful.
He pounced on Lu Bu and combined with Yan Liang, Wen Chou suppressed Lu Bu.
In particular, generals such as Fan Chou and Guo Si secretly harassed Lu Bu with arrows. Although it was difficult to cause any fatal damage to Lu Bu, they were still disgusting, weren't they?
During the charge of thousands of cavalry, due to the obstruction of grain trucks, the strength of the cavalry could not be fully utilized. Now they are surrounded by nearly 10,000 elites. If this continues, only a few will be able to escape in the end.
"I'm so angry, how dare you plot against Lu!"
Hearing Lu Bu's roar, he saw Lu Bu swing his halberd. His strength increased dramatically. He knocked away the three fierce generals who were besieging him on the spot, and slashed downwards with the halberd in his hand.
Suddenly there was a loud roar on the ground, and the army that vaguely surrounded Lu Bu's men was suddenly killed by Lu Bu and hundreds of people, opening a gap.
"Go quickly!"
There was no need for Lu Bu to remind the cavalry who were trapped in the encirclement. When they saw Lu Bu opening a way out for them, they naturally ran towards the gap as soon as possible.
Lu Bu knocked the three of them away. Naturally, the blow was not that simple. The aura on his body fluctuated, which obviously consumed a lot of energy.
"Hahaha, you thief Lu Bu, today is your day of death!"
Sensing the change in Lu Bu's aura, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Sun Jian and others were naturally very happy. If they could take advantage of the opportunity to keep Lu Bu, then it would be worthwhile for them to have so many generals come together this time to bully the few.
Among the many soldiers and horses who were chasing and killing, a few figures were extremely eye-catching, because one of these three people had slender arms and carried two swords, one had the head of a leopard, and the other had a red face and a green scarf on his head.
, holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Needless to say, these three were none other than the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang who came with Gongsun Zan.
This time, Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci were set up to ambush, just in case, trying to save Lu Bu or Tai Shi Ci in one blow. Yuan Shao followed Ju Shou's advice, and tried his best to fight against the rabbit. Even Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who he relied on most, were sent out.
, naturally it is indispensable to urge the princes to select powerful generals to accompany them.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were already well-known when they put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In addition, Liu Bei took the initiative to ask for a fight, so he was naturally sent over by Gongsun Zan.
A spear knocked away a cavalryman. Zhang Fei's eyes frequently looked towards Lu Bu, who was fighting with Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the distance. The high-spirited fighting spirit in his eyes almost turned into reality.
The oncoming cavalry flew away and Zhang Fei couldn't help but said to his eldest brother: "Brother, what's the point of killing these soldiers if we don't fight Lu Bu?"
Guan Yu remained silent, but his movements were not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers were easily killed by him, but his attention was focused on Liu Bei.
Lu Bu held the sword in both hands and was not slow at all in slashing. Hearing this, he said: "As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when the time is right. At this moment, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Sun Jian are in full fighting spirit. They ask themselves whether they can take down Lu Bu. If we run over now, you
What do they think of our brothers?"
Zhang Fei grinned and said: "They must think that we want to take credit from them!"
Looking at Zhang Fei with admiration, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yes, Sun Jian, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou are all arrogant and aloof people. Unless they are in a desperate situation, it is absolutely impossible to accept their help, so even if we want to help, we can't."
You have to watch the opportunity correctly, otherwise, not only will you not be able to make a name for yourself, but you might even offend Sun Jian, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others."
