Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 100: Falling into the trap

"Bastard!" Back in the camp, Xiang Yu kicked a stone in frustration.

"Yu'er, a general is most afraid of getting angry. I'm afraid what Lu Bu wants to see the most right now is for you to get angry and do something reckless." Fan Zeng was not too surprised. He had watched today's battle from behind. , Lu Bu was top-notch in terms of his timing of sending troops and his control of the army in battle. Xiang Yu was not unjustly punished for his losses.

"Father, I have never seen such a shameless person!" Xiang Yu turned around, looked at Fan Zeng and said, "You are not here today, you can ask my brother, that Lu Bu is really shameless! He is a arrogant general."

Liu Bang picked his nose. He would have done the same thing. Even he was not as quick as Lu Bu. If he really faced Xiang Yu, he would avoid fighting and send people to harass Xiang Yu's rear. Anyway, if you want to fight head-on, don't even think about it. , but now they are members of his own family after all, so he nodded and smiled in agreement.

Fan Zeng obviously didn't expect Liu Bang to hold back anything good. He shook his head and said: "Actually, there are some things that Yu'er should have learned long ago. It's just that there is no one in the world who can restrict you. That's why you are delayed. They failed to realize the importance of the art of war.”

"Can he restrict me!?" Xiang Yu turned around and looked at Fan Zeng, a little disbelieving, but more angry. He felt that he was humiliated: "Then Lu Bu only knows how to sneak attack and doesn't dare to fight me head-on. How about him? "

"The Art of War says, if you can, show your inability, and if you can't, show your ability..." Fan Zeng shook his head and thought.

"I know, isn't it just a lie?" Xiang Yu said impatiently.

"But he can deceive you, but you can't deceive him." Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu and said.

Xiang Yu frowned when he heard this: "What Yafu said...how could he deceive me?"

"Taking today's battle as an example, before Lu Bu sent troops, did you think that he would not send troops?" Fan Zeng did not refute, but just asked.

Xiang Yu thought about it and nodded silently.

"When you were chasing him, did you ever think that he would suddenly abandon our army and attack Wei Bao?" Fan Zeng asked again.

"Father, stop talking, I understand." Xiang Yu shook his head, feeling suddenly frustrated. Only then did he realize that in today's battle, he had been led by Lu Bu.

"Whether Lu Bu has the power to compete with you? It's hard to say before we fight. But when it comes to the use of military tactics, you are not as good as him. Although we failed to win today's battle, Lu Bu's appearance may not be a good thing for you, Yu'er. It's a bad thing. Before today, I've just talked a lot. I'm afraid it's hard for you to pay attention to this art of war, and you won't listen to my nagging for a long time." Fan Zeng snorted.

"Father, you are thinking too much." Xiang Yu laughed and wanted to skip this topic.

"Really?" Fan Zeng took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it to Xiang Yu: "This is the military book written by Sun Bin back then. Although it is only one volume, it should be able to help you. Read it carefully and it will be of great help to you. .”

"..." Xiang Yu looked at the bamboo slips and was a little confused: "Now?"

"Would you like to see it?" Fan Zeng patted the bamboo slips into Xiang Yu's hand, turned around and left.

"Father, where are you going?" Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng in shock.

"sleep!"

Xiang Yu looked at the bamboo slips in his hand with some confusion, then looked at Liu Bang, only to see Liu Bang walking out with Fan Zeng with his hands behind his back.

Xiang Yu finally decided to take a look. Although he didn't think it was useful, he was fascinated by it. Xiang Yu had fought in the north and south in the past few years and had rich combat experience. At the same time, he also had terrifying insights on the battlefield. In front of Xiang Yu, most generals did not need Xiang Yu to use any military tactics. If they found a loophole and dug through it, the war would basically be over.

Like Lu Bu, the two sides were entangled for a long time. Not only did they not defeat each other, but they also suffered some losses. This has never happened before. Therefore, Xiang Yu's understanding of the art of war is just a showpiece and a lie. To this day, when he reads the art of war again, he cooperates. My own combat experience over the years had been verified one by one, and I was addicted to it. Suddenly I discovered that many of the things I thought I had created on my own had already been recorded in the Art of War.

After looking at this, he couldn't help but feel addicted. Until it was almost dawn, Xiang Yu was still reading and chewing. When Fan Zeng took Long Qie, Yu Ziqi, Zhong Limei, Ji Bu and others into the account, he looked at Xiang Yu. Holding the bamboo slips and looking at it, everyone except Fan Zeng was a little stunned.

"First... sir, my lord..." Long Qie rubbed his eyes, looked at Xiang Yu who was holding a book and studying, and didn't even notice they came in, and pulled Fan Zeng incredulously.

"If he had worked so hard, he wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is today!" Fan Zeng snorted and sat in his seat. The others also looked at Xiang Yu and took their seats.

Liu Bang wiped his chin: You can't just pretend, right?

Liu Bang also reads books himself, and he has read Zhang Liang's book on war more than once, but if he is to be like Xiang Yu and forget about food and sleep... don't make trouble.

Besides, when these two armies are fighting, what is the use of reading military books?

Xiang Yu finally woke up from his addiction to the book and looked at everyone in confusion: "Father, brother, why are you still here?"

"It's already dawn, shall we discuss how to use the troops today?" Yingbu on the side bowed.

Xiang Yu's generals have been getting along with Xiang Yu for a long time, and most of them are casual. Only Yingbu can salute Xiang Yu in such a strict manner.

"So long?" Xiang Yu looked at the bamboo slips in his hand in disbelief, and then looked at the bright sky outside the tent, feeling a little shocked.

"This is the beauty of reading." Fan Zeng showed a rare expression of relief, looked at Xiang Yu and said with a smile, "What do Yu'er think of this military book?"

"That's right." Xiang Yu put down the bamboo slips, thought for a moment and said, "It all confirms everything I thought in the past. It's a pity that this man named Sun Bin was born many years earlier than me. Otherwise, this military book should be called Xiang's Art of War! Hahahaha~"

Fan Zeng: "..."

Generals: "..."

I thought I would make some progress, but I didn't expect to be so arrogant. Fan Zeng was a little helpless and didn't know how to carve out this piece of rough jade!

"Don't worry, Master! Look at how I defeated Lu Bu today. I just took advantage of him. As long as I don't fall into the trap, he can't do anything to me!" Xiang Yu stood up confidently, looked at the generals and said, "Point. The troops go out to fight, today I will defeat Lu Bu!"

"Don't be careless!" Fan Zeng had a headache. What makes you think that you can compete with a top military master after reading military books for one night?

This kid...is a little bit flamboyant!

"Father, don't worry!" Xiang Yu led the generals out of the camp.

Fan Zeng rubbed his temples, how can I feel relieved?

Immediately, he was quickly taken to the high ground to watch the battle. However, after Xiang Yu sent out troops, he did not rush to call for formation. Instead, he dug a ditch outside Lu Bu's camp. At the same time, Xiang Yu led his cavalry to patrol around. If Lu Bu sent out troops, he would directly If Lu Bu doesn't send troops, he will dig the ditch into Lu Bu's camp.

Above the camp gate, Sima Xin watched the Chu army digging ravines from a distance, and looked at Lu Bu with some confusion: "Captain, what are the Chu troops doing?"

"Dig a ravine and enter the camp. It will be difficult for bows and arrows to hit the Chu army in the ravine. When we send out troops for important matters, we will inevitably have to fight with the cavalry guarding the side." Lu Bu frowned as he watched the opponent's actions.

Is Xiang Yu thinking or Fan Zeng thinking?

If it's Xiang Yu... this is not his style. If it's Fan Zeng... he's a bit stupid and lacks the demeanor of a top strategist.

After thinking for a moment, Sima Xin looked at Lu Bu and said, "Although this method seems clumsy, it is quite difficult to crack."

How can this be broken?

"It's not difficult. You immediately have people dig ditches. When they dig the ditches, we will connect the ditches to fill them." Lu Bu said with a smile. There is a river between Anyang Camp and Jiyuan Camp. There is sufficient water source. The ditch will make Xiang Yu's plan in vain.

"Yes!" Sima Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly agreed and went to dig a ditch. He only waited for Xiang Yu to dig the ditch, and then added water to the ditch. It is possible that many people on the other side could be drowned. The tunnels are better than this one. it works.

Under the astonished gazes of the princes on both sides, Xiang Yu dug a trench in front of Lu Bu's camp so arrogantly. Everyone was a little confused. What did Xiang Yu want to do?

When Fan Zeng saw this from a high place, he felt that Xiang Yu had taken it for granted. How could such a strategy succeed?

I wanted to remind you, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Sometimes after suffering a loss, people learn something far more profound than what others taught them, and even if this strategy fails, it won't hurt many people.

Let him be.

Fan Zeng didn't want to watch anymore. Under the protection of his guards, he returned to the camp. He only waited for Xiang Yu to fail and return in the evening before scolding him.

The ravine continued to be dug in twists and turns until the afternoon. The front line was less than ten steps away from the camp. Unfortunately, the ravine was very deep and bows and arrows could not penetrate. However, they did not dig directly. Instead, they dug more than ten steps horizontally and formed a formation in front of the camp gate. A ravine of more than ten steps looks very strange.

Lu Bu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Xiang Yu didn't mean to let him in, but by not letting him in, could he use this to dig down their camp? This needs to be noted.

Just as he was thinking about this, a row of Chu troops suddenly poked their heads out of the ditch and threw clay pots at the camp gate one by one without waiting for the soldiers on the camp gate to react.

"Pa bang bang~"

The clay pot shattered when it hit the camp door. The viscous liquid spilled out of the clay pot and landed on the camp door. The pungent smell made people feel dizzy.

It’s tung oil!

Lu Bu's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Sima Xin and jumped directly from the camp gate. But the next moment, more than a dozen torches were thrown over, but when the camp gate exploded with a bang, it was instantly swallowed up by the flames. Those soldiers who were stained with tung oil He was swallowed up by the flames before he could react!

"Prepare for war!" Lu Bu took a deep breath. After all, he was careless and was fooled by Xiang Yu's childish tactics. The main reason was that he didn't expect that Xiang Yu, who was acting like a fool yesterday, would actually learn to use it today. Although the plan was not clever in hindsight, it was indeed a plan within a plan and successfully deceived myself.

This tough battle cannot be fought!
