Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 17: Each has a ghost

From Hangu Pass to Xin'an, it's about 60 miles along the Gushui River. If you march quickly, you can arrive at noon, but...

"Why is Cao Jun so sloppy!?" In Yan Liang's army, looking at Cao Jun walking slowly ahead, Yan Liang felt a little irritable. With such a dry road, whether he can reach Xin'an before dark is a problem.

At the moment, Yan Liang ordered the deputy general to go to Cao Jun's side and urge Cao Jun to speed up.

"General!" The deputy came back and saluted Yan Liang: "Then Cao Ren marched very cautiously. He not only sent a large number of scouts to patrol around, but also carefully checked every dangerous place, lest he be plotted by the enemy!"

Yan Liang: "..."

You want to say that the other party is wrong, so what's wrong with being careful? But if you want to say that the other party is right, this move always gives people a feeling of deliberate intimidation.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the lieutenant general and said, "Tell Cao Ren to get out of the way, our army will go first!"

"Here!"

The deputy general agreed, and soon came to Cao Ren's side to inform Cao Ren of the replacement.

"It seems that this Yan Liang is quite irritable!" Cao Ren fumbled for his chin after watching Lieutenant General Yan Liang leave, and when he looked back, he saw that both Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu were constipated and stern.

"What's wrong with you two?" Cao Ren looked at them suspiciously.

"As far as Zixiao's marching method is concerned, no one in the world can be impatient!" Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth.

Yeah?

Cao Ren looked at Xu Chu's eyes of wanting to hit someone, laughed and said, "The goal has been achieved, let Yan Liang go first, and finish the journey earlier, so that we can go back and join the lord. Now is the time to attack Xuzhou. Waiting here to help Yuan Shao seize the emperor."

Under Cao Ren's command, Cao Jun slowly moved out of the way, Yan Liang asked the deputy general to command the army to pass through, while he rode his horse to the side of Cao Ren and the three of them, looked them up and down and said, "Cao Cao's subordinates are all useless people like you? "

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun's expressions darkened when they heard the words, and Xu Chu raised his sword directly.

Almost at the same time, Yan Liang pulled out his saber and pressed Xu Chu's saber, and the two of them exerted their strength at the same time.

"Zhongkang, stop!" Seeing this, Cao Ren hastily shot, although he was yelling at Xu Chu, but his hand was directly stretched out to Yan Liang's blade.

"Hmph!" Yan Liang snorted, and with a sudden shock, he shook Xu Chu away, and shook himself, then slapped Cao Ren's hand away, looked Xu Chu up and down and said, "Yes, I have some strength, but I don't know how to handle it. how?"

On the battlefield, having brute force is certainly an advantage, but it is not enough to have only brute force.

Hearing this, Xu Chu tilted the saber, and said coldly, "General, you can give it a try!"

"General Yan, are you trying to embarrass us?" Cao Ren saw that Yan Liang really wanted to do something, so he said hastily.

Hearing this, Yan Liang suppressed his desire to fight Xu Chu, looked at Cao Ren, nodded and said, "I am here for the emperor, no matter what schemes you have, it is best not to do such a treacherous thing !"

Cao Ren clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I was ordered to come here to assist the general. If I really did something treacherous, not to mention the general, my lord may be the first to let me wait."

"I hope so!" Yan Liang glanced at the three of them, turned his horse's head, commanded the army to overtake Cao Jun, and began to step up the march. Seeing this, Cao Ren also began to arrange soldiers to follow behind Yan Liang.

Anyway, there are people exploring the way, so naturally there is no need to do the unnecessary things like before, and the speed of the march will naturally increase all of a sudden.

However, after such a delay, when Yan Liang's army arrived near Xin'an, it was almost evening, but Xin'an had a garrison, which Yan Liang never thought of.

"I don't think Lu Bu would set up troops here!" Yan Liang sat on the horseback, frowning and looking ahead. They wanted to meet the emperor. Xin'an and Mianchi had to be captured. According to his original intention, he wanted to be stationed in Xin'an first, and then Get entangled with the Mianchi defenders. If the escort of the emperor arrives, they can just flank the Mianchi defenders with him.

But now that there are enemy troops stationed in Xin'an, this plan can no longer be carried out.

Hard hit?

Although Xin'an City has not been seen, no matter how big the opponent's city is, even if it is dilapidated, the loss of the siege is not small. Yan Liang does not want to lose too many troops here.

"Why don't you ask Cao Jun to attack the city?" The deputy general looked at Yan Liang and suggested.

"Didn't you see it just now? It's impossible for them to fight with their lives!" Yan Liang shook his head. Looking at Cao Jun's attitude, he knew that it would be impossible to use them as gunmen if he wanted to make them suffer.

"General, the last general is saying, invite them to attack the city together, and we will occupy the walls on both sides. Whoever breaks the city first will own the Xin'an City." ? I have waited so long for this city that it is useless."

Yan Liang glanced at the lieutenant general, nodded and said, "Good! I'll let you negotiate with him!"

"Here!" The deputy general agreed, turned and left.

After a while, the deputy general came to Cao Ren's army to discuss the matter with Cao Ren.

"Please tell General Yan, I'll wait here to encircle Xin'an with the general!" Cao Ren said with a smile on his face after hearing the news, looking at Deputy General Yan Liang.

"Okay, then prepare to besiege the city!" Seeing that the other party agreed so easily, the deputy general felt a little disdainful in his heart, and the generals under Cao Cao's command were only at this level.

After the deputy general had left, Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Ren and said, "Taking Xin'an is a way out, but..."

"But the other party wants to use such a ruined city as a bait to lure our army to storm Xin'an, so that he can reap the benefits!" Cao Ren sneered.

Xiahoudun nodded. This is what he was worried about. In fact, occupying the small town of Xin'an is useless. Cao Cao doesn't dare to take his idea to Luoyang now. He is entangled with Yuan Shu and Tao Qian. Even if Xin'an is captured, then It is also a wasteland with no population, no money and food, and the only geographical advantage is not too obvious. On the contrary, to maintain such a city, a lot of food and grass must be consumed. Why do such thankless things?

"How can there be such a good thing, let's go like this and see who can't stand it first!" Cao Ren sneered.

"Then Yan Liang is also a famous general in Hebei, how could he use these little tricks?" Xiahou Dun was a little impatient, always feeling that Yan Liang's style of acting was far from that of a famous general.

"So he's just a famous general in Hebei." Cao Ren said disdainfully. At the beginning of the battle against Dong, everyone was calculating with each other. In the end, it was nothing. Yan Liang, should I say that he is worthy of being the chief minister?

"I don't think you should think twice about rescuing the Son of Heaven this time. How can it work if you plan against each other like this?" Xu Chu complained dissatisfied. They are all calculating each other, what is this?

"These things are like this. My lord is weak now. I obey Yuan Benchu, but he is not really his subject. As for whether we can welcome the emperor back in the end, it depends on the abilities of both parties!" Cao Ren shook his head. Commander, the issues considered are relatively comprehensive.

Cao Cao is now able to sit firmly in Yanzhou and compete with veteran princes such as Tao Qian because of his backing to Yuan Shao, and the aristocratic families in the territory are willing to support Cao Cao. Therefore, although Cao Cao is already dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, he has never dared to fight with Yuan Shao. Completely torn face, but if they really take back the emperor this time, then this tearing face is inevitable.

"Don't worry about this, Zhongkang. I didn't have you in this expedition. I don't know why you insist on coming." Xiahou Dun looked at Xu Chu and smiled.

"I want to compete with Lu Bu. Everyone says that he is the best general in the world. It's a pity that I hadn't defected to my lord before, and I couldn't go to Hulao Pass with my lord. Otherwise, Lu Bu might not have been able to be so arrogant." Xu Chu said with a touch of excitement in his eyes.

There is no such thing as the first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. Although there is no such saying nowadays, it is common for military generals to be inferior to each other. After Lu Bu became famous in the first battle in Hulao, he overwhelmed the world and became recognized as the world's number one fierce general. Many people like Xu Chu were dissatisfied. Others were seeking various benefits and resources, but Xu Chu wanted to fight Lu Bu to prove his bravery.

Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren had complex expressions when they heard the words. Xu Chu is naturally extremely strong. In terms of martial arts, no one under Cao Cao's command can surpass him. However, the two of them participated in the battle against Dong. I have witnessed how fierce Lu Bu is. of.

Even though Cao's army is not as weak as before after the war, but thinking about the scene where Lu Bu dared to roam around with three thousand cavalry, and he had no choice but to face a hundred thousand allied forces, if Xu Chu really faced Lu Bu, the consequences would not be optimistic.

"Zhongkang!" Xiahoudun and Cao Ren looked at each other, and finally Xiahoudun spoke. Although Cao Ren is the main general, but in terms of prestige, Xiahoudun is probably still above Cao Ren. With his age, there are some words that he is more appropriate to say. "If you really meet Lu Bu, play it by ear, don't rush forward, then Lu Bu is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also cunning, he likes to deceive as much as possible, don't fall into his tricks."

Cao Ren: "..."

Forget it, for the sake of Xu Chu's safety, let's take it as true.

Xu Chu nodded when he heard the words: "Don't worry, I'm the most cautious."

Xiahou Dun glanced at Xu Chu, chuckled, and said nothing. Cao Ren also glanced at Xu Chu, shook his head, but didn't say anything, but the attitude of the two... made Xu Chu very dissatisfied.

"You two just talk when you have something to say, what do you mean by being an eunuch who is so yin and yang!?" Xu Chu looked at the two and said dissatisfied.

The faces of the two of them sank immediately when they heard the words, they looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang, are you insulting us by your words!?"

Cursing eunuchs is not a good word in this year, not in any year.

"Of course not." Xu Chu was a little annoyed by the two of them, and impatiently waved his hands and said, "I'm clumsy in speech, that's not what I meant, you two know it."

"I do not know."

"I don't know either!"

Xu Chu: "..."

Just as he was about to say something, Cao Ren suddenly reached out and stopped, looking forward: "Something went wrong!"
