Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Sun Ce and the Jingzhou Allied Forces arrived at Caiyang, and were discussing with Liu Pan how to march, but they were shocked when they received the news that Tai Shici had defeated Xinye.

"How could Ziyi lose so quickly!?" Sun Ce frowned.

The vanguard is not a miscellaneous army. In order to show his bravery, but also to promote his own military prestige, Sun Ce not only sent Tai Shici, the most capable fighter under his command, but also equipped with Jiangdong's elite troops. Even if he couldn't win, he couldn't be defeated so quickly.

Sun Ce couldn't accept it.

"Perhaps it was an ambush." ​​Zhou Yu was a little disbelieving when he said this. After all, Tai Shici was not that kind of reckless person. From here to Xinye, there was no large-scale ambush. Tai Shici had no reason to lose.

"Do you know who is on the other side?" Zhou Yu asked.

"It's Nanyang defender Gao Shun!" the defeated general said with a bow.

"Gao Shun?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in a daze. He was no stranger to Gao Shun as the guard of Nanyang, but was Gao Shun very good?

Liu Pan on the side said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't underestimate this Gao Shun. This man is a general that Lu Bu relies on very much. Although he has no dazzling record, but these years, my Jingzhou soldiers have fought several times with the Nanyang Army. It's cheap, because this person is dispatching in the middle, unlike this time he actually came to the front line in person!"

"Then who led the army in the past?" Sun Ce asked curiously.

"A young man named Ma Chao is quite brave. There are few three-in-one enemies in front of the horse. He is extremely brave and good at riding and fighting. Our army has been repelled by him several times when he landed. However, his ability in water warfare is average. There are few victories." Liu Hu who was on the side said in a deep voice.

Sun Ce has also heard of this person. As for the second half of Liu Hu's sentence, Sun Ce doesn't bother to pay attention to him. He is an out-and-out northerner. Are you going to fight with him?

Throwing Ma Chao into the river probably won't make him float. If you let him fight you in the water, this is obviously bullying!

Zhou Yu groped his chin and said, "There are quite a few strong generals under Lu Bu's command, but there are only three people who can be entrusted with important tasks by Lu Bu. So far, there are only three people. One of them is Xu Rong. When Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fought in Nanyang, it was This person sat in the rear and suppressed the Chang'an Rebellion. In addition, when he was in Luoyang, this person defeated his uncle first and Cao Cao twice."

Xu Rong defeated Sun Jian in his heyday back then, and Cao Cao is very cautious when mentioning Xu Rong now.

"The second is Zhang Liao, who has been with Lv Bu for a long time, and at the same time a native of Bingzhou. He used to guard the Western Regions earlier, so his reputation is not obvious. However, according to the news sent back from the detailed work office, this person once overwhelmed the countries in the Western Regions, and even more so. There was a record of winning more with less and defeating hundreds of thousands of Hu troops, which should not be underestimated, and the third is Gao Shun."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked at Sun Ce. The meaning was obvious. Although Gao Shun had no outstanding record, he was able to be reused by Lu Bu and entrusted to Nanyang. The general paid attention, but ignored Gao Shun who could be the main general of Nanyang.

"I will inquire about this in detail when Ziyi comes back." Sun Ce nodded, and then revealed the matter.

The first battle was unfavorable, which greatly affected morale, especially in front of the allied forces. I wanted to show my hand, but in the end I leaked my feet.

Zhou Yu nodded silently, continued to look at the map with Liu Pan and the others, and said, "So, we will divide our troops into two groups, each leading the army, and attacking Xinye in two directions, forming a double-teaming situation. Since Gao Shun is here, I think Nanyang The inside must be empty, as long as we can break the new field, Nanyang will be easy to get!"

Liu Pan nodded. This strategy can indeed avoid the ambiguity of the affiliation of the two armies to the greatest extent.

The two sides already have conflicts, and forcibly joining forces will only make the army bloated.

Now this is not a solution, but a solution to this problem.

The discussion has been decided, and each went back to the camp. In the evening, Tai Shici brought the defeated soldiers to meet Sun Ce's main force, came to Sun Ce in person, and bowed to Sun Ce: "The last general is incompetent, and he has broken the power of our army. Please, my lord, Come down!"

"You haven't said how you lost, how can I convict him?" Sun Ce waved his hand, he didn't convict him directly, but he didn't help him up either. If something really happened to Tai Shici, there must be a lesson for him.

Tai Shici nodded, he was about to send troops to Xinye, and the enemy troops took the initiative to meet him, including how he would respond, and explained every detail clearly.

This kind of thing can't deceive people. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are experts who have been fighting for a long time. If they are lying, they can tell if there is a slight mistake.

"We have a good weapon but don't use it. We can only use it when our army is close. It can only be considered clever." Zhou Yu frowned and said, "But if it is true as Ziyi said, this man's strict command of the army can be called terrifying!"

As long as you pay attention to sharp weapons, it is impossible to cause such serious losses like today, but in Tai Shici's narration, what Zhou Yu really paid attention to was the opponent's control over the army.

You must know that the risk of changing the formation when facing the enemy is very high, not to mention the incompetent, if the general generals change the formation when facing the enemy, it may directly cause chaos in the army and lead to the defeat of the entire army.

But Gao Shun not only changed his formation in front of the enemy, but also managed to stay in the same order. As the commander in chief, Zhou Yu knows better than anyone else.

Sun Ce nodded silently, sighed, and stretched out his hand to help Tai Shici up: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, and this battle can't be entirely blamed on Ziyi. Gao Shun is really powerful, but if I were to lead the army, I don't know how deep he is." If you fight against him, you will most likely lose!"

As for Gao Shun in Tai Shici’s description, with the same strength, Sun Ce is really not sure of winning. It’s not just a matter of Gao Shun’s commanding ability, those soldiers are definitely elite. this level.

"Your lord, you still have to punish me, and the general will feel better." Tai Shici said bitterly. Since he surrendered to Sun Ce, he has fought many battles. It's not that he can't be defeated, but he doesn't feel good about a situation as miserable as today's. After receiving some lessons, I am sorry for those soldiers who died.

Gao Shun didn't lose many soldiers and horses, but the vanguard army he led was directly defeated. It was Jiangdong's elite. Now thinking about it, I feel distressed.

Sun Ce nodded, punched him and said: "Okay, there is no one who is undefeated in a war. If you lose today, you will fight back tomorrow. Don't act like that daughter, just making others laugh! Go and rest. Tomorrow's fight, if it still looks like this, then it really should be dealt with by military law!"

"Here! I will take my leave." Tai Shici nodded silently, bowed to Sun Ce, turned and retreated.

After Tai Shici left, Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu: "It seems that Gong Jin has hit the mark. This Gao Shun is by no means easy to deal with!"

"Are Bofu scared?" Zhou Yu laughed.

"I remembered that Gao Shun and I had fought at the foot of Songshan Mountain back then. At that time, Gong Fu and Han Hao and I blocked Lu Bu, and Gong Fu also lost that battle." Sun Ce's eyes twitched when he said this. red.

Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Is it a war? Someone will always fall."

Sun Ce nodded: "I know that Gao Shun was by Lu Bu's side back then, and he was a powerful person. Unfortunately, when he was by Lu Bu's side, others only knew about Lu Bu, but ignored him. Now it seems that this man's ability is not in the Liao Dynasty. , Under Xu Rong."

Zhou Yu also sighed, how lucky is Lu Bu, he is good at fighting, and there are three people who can stand on his own under his command, any one of them can be regarded as the chief general if they are put under the tents of the princes, Lu Bu is enough There are three of them, I really envy others.

It also shows from the side that Lu Bu not only has the ability to know people, but also has the ability to use people. It is no accident that Guanzhong can have what it is today!

"Let's fight again tomorrow, let's see how he responds!" Zhou Yu laughed.

Sun Ce didn't say any more, arranged for the soldiers to rest, and sent troops to attack Xinye early in the morning. They were defeated once in the past, but this time there was no Lu Bu, only Gao Shun.

On the other hand, after Gao Shun defeated Tai Shici and returned to camp, the county magistrate of Xinye praised him all the time.

"You have nothing to do?" Gao Shun was a little annoyed by the county magistrate. He was discouraged before, but now he has nothing to say.

"As soon as the general arrives, except for Anmin's government office, the rest of the county is under military control. I really don't know what else to do?" The county magistrate smiled wryly. What are you doing.

"Count the grain, grass, and armaments." Gao Shun thought for a while and said, "Also, the spring plowing may not be able to catch up. The people should be reassured. After this battle, the imperial court will have a tax reduction policy, so the people don't have to worry."

"Here!" Xinye Ling agreed, and bowed to leave.

Gao Shun ordered people to guard the door, and gathered the generals to discuss.

"General, according to the scouting, the coalition forces should have reached the area of ​​Caiyang, less than a hundred miles away. If they march quickly, they can reach this area tomorrow." The general in charge of spying told Gao Shun about the current information. again.

"How much did you lose in today's battle?" Gao Shun nodded, then asked.

"More than 70 people were killed, 213 people were seriously injured, and more than 500 people were slightly injured."

Most of the minor injuries could still go to the battlefield, but this battle had nearly 800 casualties, but defeated the nearly 10,000 Jiangdong Vanguard Army, which can be regarded as a big victory.

But Gao Shun knew that part of the credit for today's prosperity was attributed to the equipment. The enemy army had prepared, and the equipment would be powerless, but it was impossible to achieve what it is today.

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong must be defeated as soon as possible, and then rush to help Meng Qi." Gao Shun looked at the crowd and said.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou can only be regarded as two sided divisions, so Gao Shun's original idea was to gather all his strength to destroy the two coalition forces here first, and then return to aid Ma Chao's troops.

"General, Jiangdong has an allied army of 100,000 in Jingzhou, and it will not be easy to defeat!" A general frowned.

One hundred thousand and ten thousand are two different concepts.

"Defeat one way first!" Gao Shun thought for a while, he would definitely not be able to destroy one hundred thousand, but if he loses one way first, then the other way will be shocked.

"But I don't know where to fight?"

"Whoever is stronger, fight whoever is stronger!" Gao Shun laid down a foundation. If the strong fight, the weak will not fight. The mentality of both sides should change, and we will play by ear when the time comes.
