The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen and others read the military newspaper carefully.

But it turned out to be: After defeating the Taigu defenders yesterday, all the generals of Sun Jian's army were in high spirits and invited to fight. Sun Jian then did not wait for Xun Zhen to arrive, and then divided his troops to the east of Taigu, intending to seize the key pass again, and used the way of breaking the tiger prison for reinforcements. , so as to try to force the Taigu defenders to surrender, but what they did not expect was that among the several groups of people sent to Taigu East, Cheng Pu happened to meet Lu Bu's troops who were galloping to help Taigu in the evening.

Hulao is far from Taigu Road, and the road is not easy to walk. According to common sense, from Dong Zhuo's order to Hulao, to dispatching troops to Hulao, and then to reinforcements to Taigu, it will take three or four days at least, but Lv Bu this time. Originally, he didn’t come to help Taigu, but to help Hu Zhen. He was walking halfway and heard that Sun Jian was going straight for Taigu, so he simply refused to go to Yique and changed his way to Taigu.”

As soon as he arrived outside Taigu Pass, he happened to meet Cheng Pu.

Although Lü Bu did not bring many troops and horses in order to reach Yique as soon as possible, but only brought three thousand cavalry, but Cheng Pu's troops were mostly infantry, and they were caught off guard. Cheng Pu suffered a fiasco, and almost all of his soldiers were wiped out. Only he and dozens of other people fought to the death.

From Sun Jian's victory over Taigu, to Cheng Pu's defeat to Lü Bu, there was less than an hour between them.

Both battles took place yesterday, and the relevant military newspapers could have been delivered to Xun Zhen at the latest by last night, but just after Cheng Pu was defeated, a dispute broke out among Sun Jian's troops, so the military newspapers were delayed. It was passed on until today that the two military newspapers were sent to Xun Zhen's army one after another.

The dispute that happened in Sun Jian's department last night was not for anything else, but for "Lu Bu has arrived and Cheng Pu has been defeated, so how should we fight the next battle?"

Although Sun Jian's troops were many from the South, they had heard much about Lu Bu, who had the title of Bingzhou Flying General, and all knew his bravery.

Some people think that: Lv Bu's arrival has strengthened Taigu's defending army. The current situation is that Dong's army has Taigu's strength inside and Lü Bu outside to respond. For the two armies of Sun and Xun, it seems that they can't. In a hurry to win, you should play steadily.

But more generals of Sun Jian's army thought: Lv Bu was brave, but according to Cheng Pu's report, he only brought 3,000 cavalry, not many soldiers and horses, and Sun Jian's side, not counting Xun Zhen's army, also had some. There are more than 20,000 people. Taigu's defender has just been defeated for a while. Thinking about it, he doesn't dare to take the lead again. Now we only need to concentrate our forces and fight Lv Bu first. With more than 20,000 troops, he will be defeated by 3,000 cavalry. It is not impossible to win. .

Some people insisted that they should wait until the arrival of Xun Zhenbu before discussing the battle.

But there are also people who think: Lv Bu and Xu Rong are both in Hulao, and now that Lv Bu has arrived, Xu Rong will definitely come soon. Xu Rong is also a member of the Titans, and it will be even more difficult to win.

People on both sides who disagreed were arguing fiercely.

The quarrel continued until the second half of the night, when Sun Jian made a final decision: Xun Zhen is still in the Liangxian area, and even if he travels day and night, it will take two days to reach Taigu, and since Lu Bu has arrived, Xu Rong must be behind him. , maybe it will take less than two days to reach Taigu, so, we can't wait for Xun Zhen to come and then fight Lv Bu, we must get rid of Lv Bu before Xu Rong arrives.

Sun Jian's decision was also sent to Xun Zhen along with the military newspaper.

Xun Zhen watched it. After seeing it, he knew about Lv Bu's achievements at the end of the Han Dynasty. Although he despised him as a man, he had to pay attention to his fighting strength. He hurriedly wrote a letter. The bravery of the tiger, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, and Wei Xu, are all tiger soldiers, and they are all enemies of a thousand people.

Xincheng, ordered someone to send it to Sun Jian urgently.

Xi Zhicai and Xun You both agreed with Xun Zhen's letter.

However, Xi Zhicai and Xun You's focus was not just on Lv Bu's bravery, but on the winning streak of Sun Jian's troops.

Xi Zhicai frowned and said, "Marquis Sun has won consecutive victories. Today, I suddenly meet a strong enemy, and the geographical advantage is not mine. The arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"

Xun You was also worried and said, "Since Marquis Sun has decided to break Lv Bu first, I'm afraid he won't follow what Jun Marquis said."

Xun Zhen ordered Le Jin to say: "Qing can bring the elite soldiers of the headquarters, join forces with Junqing, and rush to Taigu. If Wentai does not follow my words and insists on fighting with Lv Bu, Qing and others can help him first. Hurry up, you can be there in two days at most."

Le Jin answered the order, picked up the troops and horses of the headquarters, abandoned the baggage, and joined forces with Xu Zhong before rushing to Taigu.

...

Sun Jian received a letter from Xun Zhen in the afternoon.

When he received the letter, Sun Jian was discussing with the generals about attacking Lu Bu.

Sun Jian temporarily interrupted the military discussion, and read Xun Zhen's letter first, read it, and showed it to the generals.

The generals will pass it on.

First Wu Jing stood up and said in a loud voice: "The last time I attacked Dong, the Duke of Xun went forward without a hitch, and the cleric was overwhelmed. This time, when I attacked Dong, the Duke and Hou were the first. This is the time for this husband to strive for merit! , it has nothing to do with the overall situation, how can you just quit the army?"

Sun Jian thought so.

Someone persuaded Sun Jian to say: "What the Duke and Marquis Xun did when they raised troops was a matter of state, so why would they argue for merit? Lv Bu is really brave, and I am at the pass again, and the land is not good for me. If it is negative, then the previous achievements will be forfeited, and it is best to wait until Xunhou arrives before talking about it.”

But Sun Jian refused to listen, so he said generously to the people, "I have made friends with Marquis Xun, and it is precisely because Marquis Xun and I are fighting together for the sake of the state, so if I stopped the army and waited for me because of a small defeat for a while. After all, if the fighter plane is delayed, then how can I see Marquis Xun!"

After all, Sun Jian himself was a fierce predator. Although he and Xun Zhen were on good terms and respected and loved each other, as a warlike warrior who started his career with military exploits, it was impossible for him to give all the credit to Xun Zhen. Yes, if you lose a little bit, then stop moving forward, waiting for Xun Zhen to come, where is his Sun Jian's face? Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Lu Bu has not many troops and horses, and he thinks he can win.

The soldiers and horses brought by Lu Bu were all cavalry, and it was impossible for the cavalry to enter the Taigu Pass. Once they entered the pass, they would lose their mobility. Therefore, Lu Bu’s troops and horses were placed in the Taigu Pass before they entered the pass. On the east side, it is in a distance with Huang Gai and Sun Ben's department in the west of Taigu Pass, and it is separated from Sun Jian's main force in front of Taigu Pass.

Sun Jian continued the content of the military discussion just now and said: "Lü Bu's army is in the east of the Kanto, our army cannot go around the pass and attack him, and now the only way is to transfer him out, and then our army will set up an ambush~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Passing Taigu Pass and attacking Lu Bu, if the defender of Taigu comes out again and cuts his way, Sun Jian's troops will be a threat. Therefore, if we want to defeat Lu Bu, we can only transfer him from the east of Taigu Pass and let him Enter Sun Jian's pre-set battlefield.

So how do you call him out?

It's also simple, just pretend to attack Taigu Pass.

Lu Bu was here to rescue Taigu Pass, so of course it was impossible to sit back and watch Taigu be attacked.

Therefore, Sun Jian decided on this: divide five thousand troops to Wu Jing, and Wu Jing, Huang Gai and Sun Ben from Guanxi will jointly attack Taigu, so that Lv Bu will be sent to rescue, and then Cheng Pu and Han Dang will lead the army to the army. , lined up in front, to stop Lu Bu's advance, and at the same time drain his vigor. When his vigor was almost exhausted, Sun Jian personally led two thousand cavalry to attack him from the flank of Lu Bu's troops.

Sun Jian still attached great importance to Lu Bu, and did not despise him because he only had 3,000 cavalry soldiers. In addition to leaving thousands of mobile and cavalry soldiers, he used more than 10,000 infantry and almost 10,000 soldiers. It was all the 2,000 cavalry, obviously lions fighting rabbits, and they did their best. According to his style of play, as long as Lu Bu is fooled, then he will save himself, and the odds of winning are not 100%, but there is a chance.
