Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

half a month later.

Twenty miles outside Xiapi city.

Lu Bujun and Liu Beijun started a formal battle.

Five days ago, Liu Bei suddenly issued a letter of war to Lu Bu, calling for a decisive battle.

In the book of war, Liu Bei said that instead of being stuck in a see-saw between offense and defense, which would only increase casualties, waste money and food, and make the people suffer, it would be better to fight to determine victory or defeat.

The person who wins is the master of Xuzhou.

Those who are defeated will leave Xuzhou to seek another development.

The victor must not kill the loser, but must take the initiative to let him go.

This gauntlet can be described as a bit strange.

The general war book is a fight to the death, the losing side either surrenders, or the whole army is wiped out.

But Liu Bei demanded that the victors should not drive out the losers, but let him go on their own initiative, which is a bit unbelievable.

Lu Bu was a little puzzled, so he went to ask Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was also a little strange, not sure what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Bei's gourd.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Gong thought that Liu Bei knew that he would lose, so he used the conditions of this letter of war as a reason to leave a way out for himself.

Chen Gong also felt that if Liu Bei and others had to be wiped out in Xiapi, the casualties of Lu Bu's army would inevitably be huge under the stubborn resistance.

Lu Bu still wanted to govern Xuzhou and compete with the world's princes for hegemony. Naturally, it was the best policy to preserve his strength as much as possible.

Besides, it would be a good thing for a person like Liu Bei to release him from Xuzhou and let him go and defeat other princes.

Therefore, Chen Gong persuaded Lu Bu to agree to this matter, and waited to see Liu Bei's reaction.

Lu Bu approved and agreed on the letter of war, and asked someone to bring the letter of war back and hand it over to Liu Bei.

Immediately, Liu Bei asked people to copy countless copies of this letter of war, and spread it everywhere in Xuzhou, hoping to let everyone know about it.

When the news reached Lv Bu, Chen Gong said with a smile: "Marquis Wen, it seems that it is true that Liu Bei wants to survive this battle. Don't worry, Marquis Wen, just prepare for the battle with peace of mind. We will defeat Liu Bei in the first battle and take Xuzhou."

Lu Bu asked, "Why is Gongtai so sure?"

Chen Gong explained with a smile: "Liu Bei was worried that Marquis Wen would break his promise, so he copied countless copies of the war letter and spread it all over Xuzhou to let the people of Xuzhou know about it."

"If Marquis Wen breaks his promise, it will be difficult to win the trust of the people of Xuzhou in the future, which will be detrimental to the governance of Xuzhou."

"So, Liu Bei wanted to use this method to force Marquis Wen to let him live."

"Judging from this, Liu Bei definitely knows that he has no chance of winning this battle, and wants to save himself a way out."

Hearing Chen Gong's explanation, Lu Bu was also overjoyed, he laughed and said, "Okay, since Liu Xuande is so afraid of death, this Marquis will give him a way out."

"Letting him leave Xuzhou and defeat other princes will also be helpful to my future plans."

Therefore, Lu Bu was completely relieved and prepared for the final battle with Liu Bei.

Xiapi City.

When Liu Bei received the news, he was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, Lu Bu and Chen Gong have made a plan."

Lu Su was also overjoyed: "Congratulations, my lord, Lu Bu and Chen Gongzhong plan, our army will surely win this battle, and Pengcheng can go down."

Liu Bei bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Kong Ming is a great talent, and Liu Bei admires him very much."

Zhuge Liang behaved very calmly, but there was a slight smug look in his eyes, but he said lightly: "This is a small plan, it is because Chen Gong is not intelligent enough to see through this plan."

"Actually, this plan is not complicated, it just captured the thoughts of Lu Bu and Chen Gong."

"First, Lu Bu and Chen Gong believe that they are absolutely sure of winning this battle. The only thing to worry about is worrying about our conspiracy."

"Secondly, if the envoy sends people to spread the content of the war letter everywhere, it will give Lu Bu and Chen Gong a false impression that the lord considers himself invincible and wants to find a way out for himself."

"Of course, the most critical part of this plan is the production of Liannu, which can be completely kept secret."

"It should be noted that Chen Gong is also a cautious person. He sent a lot of spies to Xiapi City to inquire about our army's intelligence."

"There will be no gains from careful work, so Chen Gong's worries will naturally be reduced a lot. Only this plan can achieve great results."

"Mr. Kong Ming is really a fortune teller." Liu Bei admired again from the bottom of his heart, but he was still a little worried, "It's just, can this Liannu really restrain Bingzhou Flying Cavalry?"

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Lu Bu will lose in this battle, so you can only wait to take control of Pengcheng again and take charge of Xuzhou."

Still a little worried, Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at Lu Su.

Lu Su understood Liu Bei's worry, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Kong Ming's plan is flawless. Lu Bu and Chen Gong have already fallen for it, and our army will surely win."

Now, Liu Bei was completely relieved, and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Kong Ming will be the first to lead the victory in this big victory, and Liu Bei will definitely be richly rewarded."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly: "The envoy's words are serious. Liang just happened to travel here and saw that the envoy's situation is critical, so he came to help. He has no heart for fame and fortune."

Liu Bei sneered in his heart, has no heart for fame and fortune?
Damn it if I really take your word for it and think you're a man of integrity.

Of course, Liu Bei never dared to say this, otherwise, if Zhuge Liang left in shame, his loss would be great, and he would have to count on Zhuge Liang to help him fight for hegemony.

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said: "Although Mr. Kong Ming is a noble man, but this time, he has shown a kindness to Liu Bei and the people of Xuzhou. How can Liu Bei say nothing?"

Lu Su immediately smoothed things over and said with a smile: "My lord, Mr. Kong Ming, thank you, it's better to wait until after this battle."

In this way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stopped talking.

The line of sight returned to the battlefield, and the formation of the two sides was completed.

Lu Bu was surprised to find that Liu Bei only sent [-] troops to fight.

Chen Gong also found out, frowned slightly, and thought to himself, what is Liu Bei doing? Could it be that the other [-] soldiers have already evacuated?
However, according to detailed reports, in the past few days, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have not been found to have withdrawn from Xiapi City.

Chen Gong faintly felt that Liu Bei must have a conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out what Liu Bei's conspiracy would be.

Could it be that young man named Zhuge Liang?
Chen Gong already knew about Zhuge Liang's visit to Xiapi to find Liu Bei.

But Chen Gong was from the north, so he didn't pay much attention to Jingzhou, so he naturally didn't know the names of Wolong and Fengchu, let alone Zhuge Liang's talent.

The scout came to report: "Report to Marquis Wen, Mr. Chen, there is no trace of the enemy within a radius of ten miles."

In a radius of ten miles, there is no trace of Liu Beijun?

Lu Bu and Chen Gong looked at each other, becoming more and more confused about what Liu Bei was going to do.

But the arrow was on the string, and he had no choice but to launch it. Lu Bu snorted coldly: "If he Liu Bei has any tricks, he will not be able to escape the benefits of my three thousand Bingzhou flying cavalry."

"Hou Cheng, Song Xian, the two of you will follow me and lead three thousand Bingzhou flying cavalry to charge the battle. You must disrupt the opponent's central army."

"Gongtai, I will leave the command of the army to you."
