"It's a pity that Cao Cao got away on the battlefield." Zhang Liao lamented, although he didn't understand why Lu Bu valued Cao Cao so much, as long as he could threaten Lu Bu, the generals in the army would kill them as much as possible.

"It doesn't matter, the Xuzhou army has taught the Yanzhou army a profound lesson on the battlefield. Liu Dai wants to organize troops to fight against this general. This general will make everyone in Yanzhou panic. Seeing the arrival of this general's army, open the city gate obediently." Lu Bu laughed loudly.

At sunset, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the cavalry who shuttled back and forth on the battlefield took more than 2000 prisoners again, and more than [-] soldiers of Cao Jun were captured alive in World War I.

The news was sent back to the army, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army were very excited, and they went to battle in Yanzhou. Lu Bu had only [-] soldiers under his command. The victory of three consecutive battles caused serious damage to the Yanzhou army. It's easy to come by.

Cao Cao led the army and fled for more than ten miles before ordering the army to station and collect the fleeing soldiers. These soldiers are the foundation for him to settle down in Dongjun. would be extremely disadvantageous.

Seeing that the lieutenant generals and soldiers were panicked, and their expressions could not hide their fear, Cao Cao said in relief, "Lü Bu relies on the strength of the cavalry, but Yanzhou has many fortified cities, which is not what the cavalry is good at, and there are elite soldiers under Yanzhou Mu's command. Tens of thousands will surely defeat Lu Bu."

The generals in the army all said yes, but they were a little bit drummed in their hearts. They trusted Cao Cao's ability to lead troops in battle, but they suffered losses in Lu Bu's hands one after another, which would inevitably make them doubt in their hearts. This time the battle not only damaged Cao's army Seriously, even Xia Houyuan, a fierce general in the army, was beheaded by Lu Bu.

"My lord, now that our army has been defeated and nearly half of its strength has been lost, it is difficult to pose an effective threat to Lu Bu. It is better to return to Fangyu County." Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed. With the current state of the lieutenant generals, if he faces the Xuzhou army, it will most likely fail.

Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and so did Bao Xin's men. He originally thought that following Cao Cao to fight against Xuzhou's army would give him some credit, so as to atone for his previous failure. Now there are only more than [-] soldiers left under his command, and tens of thousands of people have fought. After three battles, there were only more than [-] people left, and the soldiers in the army had nothing to gain. How can Bao's confidence not be discouraged.

"My lord, this is the weapon that I captured from the Xuzhou cavalry." Xiahou Dun stepped forward and said.

Cao Cao took the weapon and glanced at it, saying: "The weapons of Xuzhou's cavalry are far superior to those of our army."

The generals in the army are also in a bad mood. When soldiers fight on the battlefield, weapons and armor are the foundation for soldiers to stand on the battlefield.

"However, our army is a righteous army. Lu Bu rebelled against the destiny and seized the city, and he will definitely fail." Cao Cao said seriously.

The generals in the army nodded when they heard the words, and their hatred for Lu Bu increased in their hearts, but Lu Bu's bravery left a shadow in their hearts.

The news of Cao Cao's failure in leading the army soon spread to Fang Yu. Liu Dai, who was about to make a big difference in the next battle, fell silent.

What kind of impact will the failure of three consecutive battles have if it spreads among the Yanzhou army.

In order to fight Lu Bu, Liu Dai dispatched more than [-] troops, not only to defeat Lu Bu, but also to take Xuzhou from Lu Bu in one fell swoop. Xuzhou is rich and prosperous. After Liu Dai captures Xuzhou, he will become the most powerful Han Dynasty princes.

"Incompetent people, they were defeated by the Xuzhou cavalry in just one battle." Liu Dai said angrily.

Engaged in Wang Kaidao: "Zhou Mu, our army is newly defeated, and the morale of the army is low. Why not station in Fangyu temporarily and wait for Cao Cao and Bao Xin to lead the army back to the city before making a decision. The prefect of Shanyang leads the army to Xuzhou, maybe we can do more.”

Liu Dai said: "The king's words are true. He ordered the lieutenants to strengthen their defenses and not slack off."

"The most worrying thing at this time is Lu Buye. Although the Xuzhou army has won three victories on the Yanzhou battlefield, Xuzhou is empty. The Beihai State Minister Kong Rong and the Pingyuan Minister Liu Bei led the army to Xuzhou. Once a war breaks out in Xuzhou , then Lu Bu’s army is bound to be in turmoil, so why worry about not being able to take advantage of the situation and defeat Lu Bu,” counselor Xu Si persuaded.

Chapter 70 Arrogant Lu Bu

Liu Dai's face softened a little when he heard this. The Yanzhou army had a numerical advantage. Although Cao Cao and Bao Xin lost more than ten thousand men, there were still nearly thirty thousand soldiers in the army, which was more than enough to fight against Lv Bu's army.

Three days later, Lü Bu led a large army and came to the outside of Fangyu City. More than ten thousand troops formed a formation outside the city, with banners covering the sky and the sun.

Fang Yuwei is an ordinary city in Yanzhou. The height of the city is less than three feet, and it does not have a moat. Capture Fang Yu in a short period of time, unless there are special circumstances.

Liu Dai saw that the Xuzhou army was like this, and with one order, tens of thousands of troops left the city, forming a confrontation with the Xuzhou army in the west of the city.

Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "I am Lu Buye, Marquis Wen. Where is Liu Dai? Seeing this Marquis coming, why don't you come forward quickly?"

Seeing that Lu Bu was so arrogant, many generals of the Yanzhou army dared not speak out. Lu Bu had already used his powerful martial arts to make the generals of the Yanzhou army dare not offend his prestige.

Under the protection of the generals in the army, Liu Dai stepped forward and shouted: "Why did Lu Bu offend Yanzhou for no reason? Although there was a rift between the Japanese officials and you in the past, I have ordered people to go to Xuzhou to explain, but now the actions of the Xuzhou army are unreasonable. Very polite."

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Don't you know why the Marquis led the troops here? Since you want to compete with the Marquis, you should show your skills."

"Who comes forward to kill this person!" Liu Dai shouted angrily, no matter what, he is also a majestic Yanzhou shepherd with a high position and authority, and it can be said that he has lost face for Lu Bu's suppression in front of the two armies.

Lu Bu raised his halberd in his hand, and all the generals of the Yanzhou army lowered their heads. Even Cao Cao's fierce generals did not dare to look at Lu Bu.

"You and others are the ears of the defeated generals of this Marquis, how dare you act presumptuously in front of this Marquis?" Lu Bu said coldly.

The silence of the generals of the Yanzhou army was in stark contrast to Lu Bu's arrogance, Liu Dai only felt his blood surge up, his chest was valved, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, pointing at Lu Bu from a distance, he said, "You are a rebellious official and a traitor, everyone will punish you if you get it. "

Seeing this, the civil servants and generals who accompanied Liu Dai out of the city hurried forward to protect Liu Dai in the army.

Lu Bu's laughter became even wilder, "Son Liu Dai, the generals under the Marquis of Japan in the past were able to cause heavy losses to the Yanzhou Army, but now that the Marquis is here, don't you still have a chance? .”

Liu Dai's complexion was as pale as paper. He was really depressed. He obviously had a greater advantage over the Xuzhou Army in terms of the number of soldiers, but he couldn't hold his head up because of the Xuzhou Army's suppression. For a coach To say that is a great shame.

"Lu Bu, An dare to be so presumptuous in front of Zhou Mu. You used to abandon Ding Yuan and seek refuge with Dong Zhuo, and now you betray Dong Zhuo. You are a ruthless and ruthless person. It is a great misfortune for a great man to have Xuzhou fall into your hands." Engaged in Wang Kaishang Qian Qian shouted.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "Who are you? How dare you accuse me." After speaking, Lv Bu slightly raised the painting halberd in his hand.

Wang Kai's heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's Wang Kai who works in Yanzhou."

"Okay, you have the guts, the dignified general of the Yanzhou army is not as good as one of them." Lu Bu laughed loudly.

When the general of the Yanzhou army heard the words, he lowered his proud head in shame.

"Kill!" Lu Bu suddenly swung the painting halberd forward.

Seeing this scene, the Xuzhou cavalry who were waiting in battle immediately charged forward.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes made the ground tremble slightly. Lu Bu took the lead and rushed into the Yanzhou army. The soldiers died at the hands of Lu Bu.

The cavalry who followed came down the mountain like a tiger, and the Yanzhou army who had only been killed threw away their helmets and armor, and fled back to the city in embarrassment.

Xuzhou's cavalry chased them down, and the city was crowded with arrows, so Lu Bu ordered the cavalry to return to the main formation.

The generals of the Xuzhou Army outside the city burst into loud cheers, and the sight of Lu Bu leading the cavalry galloping through the Yanzhou Army was the greatest encouragement to them. As an ordinary soldier, what reason is there to slack off?

The fighting spirit of the Xuzhou army was high, but the morale of the Yanzhou army was low. Even the defenders in the city felt that it was a fantasy for the Yanzhou army to defeat the Xuzhou army. It was just Lv Bu in the Xuzhou army that made the soldiers of the Yanzhou army feel like Overwhelming feeling.

Five miles away from Fang and the city, they set up camp, and Lu Bu summoned the generals of the army to discuss matters.

From the expression of the general in the army, Lu Bu felt the excitement and the desire for war.

Jia Xu had to admit that in terms of leading troops in battle, Lv Bu was far superior to ordinary generals. Just because he was in the army, the morale of the soldiers in the army could be so high. On the battlefield, Lv Bu led the cavalry and was even more invincible. The presence.

If it weren't for his bad reputation, Lu Bu's development in Xuzhou would have been so smooth.

Before he knew it, Jia Xu had already recognized Lu Bu, and spared no effort in making suggestions in the army, otherwise the Xuzhou army would not have gone so smoothly after the battle.

The Yanzhou Army has an advantage over the Xuzhou Army in terms of numbers, but the outcome of a battle depends not only on the number of soldiers on both sides, but also on the elite of the army.

In the past, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, under Zhang Jiao's command, was said to have millions of people, but under the offensive of the Han army, it was quelled in just a few months.

"For three consecutive battles, our soldiers marched forward bravely and achieved a lot, which has a lot to do with the efforts of the soldiers in the army. This general pays attention to clear rewards and punishments in the army. The rewards for beheading the enemy are settled after the battle. , even if he died on the battlefield, the general will order people to send the rewards and pensions to his family in full." Lu Bu said solemnly.

"The general is wise." The generals said in unison.

Seeing this scene, Jia Xu nodded secretly.

"The battle is so smooth, and it is inseparable from Jia Xu. Jia Xu made suggestions and made our army win one after another. I will appoint Jia Xu as the military advisor of the Xuzhou Army." Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was slightly taken aback. In the army, Lu Bu has the absolute right to speak. It is extremely difficult for Xuzhou officials to extend their hands to the army. Even he is no exception. He followed Lu Bu, not out of sincerity However, if it wasn't for a threat from Hulao Pass, Jia Xu would definitely follow Dong Zhuo to Chang'an and continue to hide in secret.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen. A lowly position is nothing more than doing what you are supposed to do. Victory depends on the efforts of the officers and men in the army." Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "The matter of being a military adviser is of great importance. I hope Marquis Wen will be careful."

Lv Bu laughed and said, "Just now I just said that those who have made merit will be rewarded, and I will serve as a military adviser with the merits of Wenhe. Who would not accept it?"

Chapter 71 This is the chance of Wenhou

The generals in the army talked a lot, and the military division played a key role in an army, especially when the two armies were fighting, a strategy could even change the direction of the war.

Jia Xu's low-key performance in the army, but the credit for defeating the Yanzhou Army in three consecutive games is indelible. This also made the generals in the army look at Jia Xu very differently. To be recognized by others, it is necessary to show the corresponding ability.

"Thanks to Marquis Wen's respect, I will do my best in this humble position." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

"I've seen the military advisor." Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said.

Seeing Zhang Liao's behavior, all the generals in the army stepped forward to salute. In the Xuzhou army, the status of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others cannot be shaken by the later generals. human ability.

Lu Bu asked with a smile, "Wenhe, now that our army has won consecutive victories, what should we do next?"

Seeing the generals in the army cast their eyes one after another, Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Marquis Wen, from the humble opinion, after successive failures of the Yanzhou Army, they must stick to the city and wait for the situation in Xuzhou to change."

"The tents are all generals whom I trust, so there is no need for Wen He to shy away from it," Lu Bu said.

Many generals felt warm when they heard this.

Jia Xu said slowly: "Among the officials in Xuzhou, there are many people who secretly resist Wen Hou. Now that Pengcheng is empty, it is time to test these officials. Wen Hou can stand still. As expected, Liu Dai will definitely be there. There are secret actions, the former Xuzhou governor is now in Yanzhou."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, signaling Jia Xu to continue.

"Marquis Wen is brave. No one in the Yanzhou army can stop him. Fang Yu came here today, which shocked the Yanzhou army. If they secretly win over, there must be some generals of the Yanzhou army who have taken refuge in secret. Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, why can't we attack Fang?" With." Jia Xu said.

The generals in the army talked a lot about this, and Jia Xu's words made them feel very reasonable.

Captain Zhang Kai came out and said: "Marquis Wen, the general knows some generals in the Yanzhou army, and the general is willing to take charge of this matter."

"If this matter can be accomplished, Zhang Duwei must have contributed a lot." Lu Bu laughed.

The generals in the army also have many opinions on the situation of the war, and they have expressed their opinions one after another. Anyway, if they put forward opinions on the war in the army, even if they are wrong, they will not be punished. Future development is beneficial.

In the middle army, Li Dian couldn't be at peace. He was originally a general under Cao Cao's command. He also recognized Cao Cao's ability. After being captured alive by Lu Bu, he never forgot Cao Cao. Dian saw more things. It seemed impossible to rely on the Yanzhou Army to block Lu Bu's edge.

However, under Lu Bu's command, there are many fierce generals, and it takes more effort to stand out.

"My lord, the general is willing to try his best." Li Dian came out and said.

Lu Bu said: "Mancheng makes a move, why worry about not being able to defeat the enemy."

In a word, it can be said that Li Dian is placed in a relatively high position, even Li Dian is slightly surprised.

After the generals in the army left, Jia Xu tactfully stayed behind. Just now Lu Bu said that there is no need to avoid some words, just to make the generals in the army feel a sense of belonging. As a resourceful man, how could he think so easily? .

"Wen He has something to say, just say it." Lu Bu said lightly.

Jia Xu said: "Marquis Wen, the current situation on the Yanzhou battlefield is beneficial to our army, but it is not the case. Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes and alliance, opposed Wenhou's control of Xuzhou. This is why the Yanzhou and Qingzhou troops attacked Xuzhou. The influence of the leader is not only So also."

"Xuzhou has no shortage of family members. Wenhou's victory on the Yanzhou battlefield can certainly make people feel stable, but the arrival of Wenhou will definitely affect the interests of many families in Xuzhou. How can these officials be dispatched by Qingzhou and Yanzhou armies?" I will give up easily, and within a few days, there will be news, and I hope Marquis Wen can make more preparations."

Lu Bu nodded with a serious face. The situation in Xuzhou is very delicate. Lu Bu can see such things. On the surface, these officials obeyed him, but they were just seeking opportunities in secret. As long as the time is right, they will definitely Stand up and resist without hesitation.

"What Wen He said is exactly what I'm worried about. Currently there are only [-] soldiers in Pengcheng. If Xuzhou is in danger, I can only lead the troops back," Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu laughed and said: "This is the opportunity for Marquis Wen. If these officials continue to hide in Xuzhou, it will be even more unfavorable to Marquis Wen. Let them be exposed as soon as possible and eradicate them, so that Marquis Wen can completely rule Xuzhou."

"As far as Wenhe is concerned, this is related to whether the general can gain a foothold in Xuzhou. Wenhe must not hide his secrets." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Since I joined Marquis Wen, I have devoted myself to everything."

Lu Bu curled his lips. It would be strange if Jia Xu gave in so easily, but Jia Xu's performance is still very good so far.

After taking charge of Xuzhou, Lu Bu's performance was indeed beyond Jia Xu's expectations. The appearance of immortal jade must have a great relationship with Lu Bu. Not only that, even the horses in Xuzhou's army have also been replaced, and the arrival of merchants from all over , Let Pengcheng glow with vitality, if it develops according to this situation, Xuzhou will achieve great development in a short period of time.

Before this incident, who would have thought that the world-renowned Wen Hou Lu Bu would do so many things after he took charge of Xuzhou.

"If Wen He treats this general with sincerity, this general will definitely not treat Wen He badly." Lu Bu said firmly.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." A warmth flowed through Jia Xu's heart, and what he felt from Lu Bu's words was sincerity.

"If you want to test the loyalty of Xuzhou officials, you only need to do a little trick."

Jia Xu stepped forward and said something in a low voice, and Lu Bu nodded repeatedly.

"Based on Wen He's words, I will see how many people in Xuzhou are secretly opposing me." Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu's eyes became more and more fierce. Taking charge of Xuzhou is a crucial step for him to gain a foothold in the troubled times. No matter what kind of thoughts Jia Xu was in at the beginning, Xuzhou today cannot fall into the hands of others. Everything about Lu Bu is in the hands of others. Xuzhou.

If anyone destroys the current situation, Lu Bu will make him pay a heavy price at all costs.

The dispatch of the Xuzhou army has affected the hearts of the princes. Yuan Shao has just occupied Jizhou and needs time to stabilize. He can only give support to Yanzhou and Qingzhou. In Yuan Shao's view, this support alone is enough. Lu Bu They were just slaves of the three surnames who betrayed both Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. Even if they had some force, it would be difficult to succeed in fighting against a powerful family.

Chapter 72 Betrayal, Xuzhou shakes

The victory or defeat on the battlefield has a certain relationship with the bravery of the generals, and the stability of the rule is also a key factor. If the basic stability in Xuzhou cannot be guaranteed, how much can Lu Bu lead the army to fight? Woolen cloth.

Yuan Shao even saw the disintegration of Xuzhou.

Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, supported Yuan Shao. The growth of Liu Dai and Cao Cao was also what Yuan Shao wanted to see. He is the leader of the princes, and it is reasonable for the princes of the world to obey his orders. Yes, he said that Lu Bu's Xuzhou herdsman is reasonable, and Lu Bu is legal.

Fame and power, Yuan Shao has both, he needs the princes of the world not to dare to disobey his orders.
