Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 23 Northern Expedition

In this life, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly. No matter where you are, there will be a lot of things to bother you, and there will be a lot of inexplicable worries.

After about a month, Guo Zhe came back, bringing greetings and rewards from the new Emperor Daqian.

"He means...a reward?" Lu Bu raised his head suddenly, looked at Guo Zhe, and re-confirmed.

"It's a reward." Guo Zhe knew what Lu Bu was thinking about. Although they didn't establish a country today, both the territory and the combat power of the army have already surpassed the Dagan Dynasty, which is still alive. When Emperor Qianyuan was in power, he was just trying to appease him. , Every time something is sent, it is also sent in the name of support. The reward can be said to be a gift from the superior to the inferior, but there is another way of saying it is alms.

Especially in this kind of country-to-country relationship, Lv Bu has never established a country because he considered the feelings of the big cadres. Now Lv Bu's strategy has always been to form a big cadre in the south and attack the Hulu in the north. Lu Bu devoted all his energy to preparing for the Northern Expedition, which he hoped he could do by himself.

However, Lu Bu was a little unsure about the attitude of the new emperor of Dagan, whether it was a sign of a change in the national policy of Dagan?

"My lord, the new emperor of Dagan is young and vigorous. Zhe thinks that now that my lord is all about the Northern Expedition, it is inappropriate to fight against Dagan." Guo Zhe said in a low voice, looking at Lu Bu.

Lv Bu's overall strength should be no worse than Dagan's now, and his military strength is far superior, but if Lv Bu's whole country's strength is on the northern expedition, and Dagan's side is blocking Lv Bu in the rear because of some nominal things, then Lv Bu's life's hard work may be in vain. It's going to fall short.

"Young and energetic?" Lu Bu nodded. A long time ago, he had almost the same mentality. He believed that no one in the world was his opponent. long time.

It was after Lu Boyong showed his powerful dispatching ability and skill that Lu Bu's attitude gradually became less aggressive and more vigorous. But if you ask Lu Bu now if anyone can beat him on the battlefield, what is the answer? For sure, definitely not, if even this kind of heart and arrogance are gone, then the battle will be a little less fierce.

But Lv Bu has this kind of spirit because he has reached a limit in war. Not to mention that no one can win in ancient and modern times, but in terms of war, Lv Bu is definitely at the top level, so why do you want to become a new emperor?

"It seems that we have been working hard for peace for a long time, and the new emperor can't even see his own ability." Lu Bu took the reward edict and put it down with a smile: "Then order the troops at the border gate not to move lightly recently, let someone take a look, everyone What to do next."

Dagan obviously didn't want to continue to maintain this kind of relationship with Lu Bu, who is not a king, and a minister is not a minister, but Lu Bu is very interested in what he will do next, so he decided not to go to war with the Hulu for the time being this year. It is said that Dagan is so close. I have been working hard for twenty years, just to see the effect of my hard work.

"My lord is wise!" Guo Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lu Bu would not be able to suppress his anger. After all, today's great efforts, not to mention military strength, may not be as good as Lu Bu, who has already begun to encroach on Shuchuan. Even if Lu Bu sent troops to cross the river in a rage, Guo Zhe would not be surprised, but Lu Bu was able to suppress this pressure, which shows that Lu Bu is no longer the fierce general who only knew how to fight blindly.

"Compared with this, I want to know more, whether this matter is just the result of the new emperor's arrogance, or the dissatisfaction of those ministers." Lu Bu knocked on the table, looked at Guo Zhe and said: "You are going to Daqian this time. Come on, what's the change in the court?"

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and there hasn't been much change. However, when I went to visit Dagan Youzai, I kept closing the door to thank guests." Guo Zhe frowned, "I'm not sure if this matter is related."

Dagan Youzai has always been friendly to Lu Bu's side. Is it really a serious illness or is he deliberately avoiding this time behind closed doors? This is unknown.

"The Northern Expedition is imminent, and the Nangan court must be stabilized." Lu Bu stood up and walked to the map in the hall, carefully studied the map and engraved it: "Northern Expedition, there is only one chance, if the Hulu cannot be driven out of China by a single battle, I don’t know how long this battle will last!”

"My lord, the attitude of the Nangan court is unclear, shall we postpone the Northern Expedition plan for a few years?" Guo Zhe couldn't help asking.

"Postponed?" Lu Bu looked at Guo Zhe: "Do you know how much effort I have spent on this Northern Expedition? Over the years, in order to raise food and grass for the Northern Expedition, my father and I had to show weakness to the Nangan court. After 20 years of hard work, countless soldiers This battle has been prepared for many years, and if it is postponed, is there still a chance? Will these soldiers who have trained hard for this battle for many years still have the strength to go north after a few years?"

"The minister made a slip of the tongue!" Guo Zhe bowed quickly.

"It has nothing to do with you, this battle must be won! We will definitely win!" Lu Bu said, looking at Guo Zhe.

"The master on the battlefield is invincible!" Guo Zhe hesitated and said, "But... I am worried that the rear will be unstable."

If Emperor Qianyuan died two years later, they would not have to worry about the rear for the Northern Expedition. If Emperor Qianyuan died a few years earlier, then the Nangan court's attitude towards this side could already be figured out, but it happened to be stuck at this node. The death of Emperor Yuan brought a change to the Northern Expedition, which had already made all preparations, and this change was out of their control at the moment.

"Then we can only make some preparations in advance. Although there are many Nangan troops, when it comes to combat, the Nangan army...hehe, it really won't work. I will keep Zhuo Yong to guard the rear, but the matter of the Northern Expedition cannot be changed." Lu Bu said to Although the combat power of the Nangan Army has never been publicly stated, but the disdain comes from the heart, and he has reason to have such a mentality.

Seeing this, Guo Zhe could only accept his orders.

The new emperor of Nangan succeeded to the throne. This new emperor seemed eager to prove himself. After two months, he sent his troops to the north and sent troops from Cangzhou to push the front line to Huizhou. The wolf who was killed by the army was so embarrassed that he was once killed by the Hu army to Cangzhou.

"Hahaha, it's good to be young and vigorous, but you shouldn't overestimate yourself!" Although Lu Bu was mentally prepared, it was a bit surprising that Nan Gan lost so quickly, but it was just an accident. I hoped that they would be of any help. On the seventh day after the defeat of Nangan, Lu Bu led his troops out of the gate and took Shouzhou, Yinzhou and other places directly, decisively cutting off the Hulu food road in one fell swoop, forcing the Hulu to fight with them. The decisive battle, the battle of the Northern Expedition has also begun since then!
