The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "There is a strategy, if it succeeds, Marquis Wen can seize Changyi with lightning speed."

Hearing the words, the lieutenant general stared at Guo Jia with piercing eyes. Guo Jia appeared in the army and advised Lv Bu. The lieutenant general originally looked down upon him a little, but Guo Jia's analysis was clear and sound, which made them look forward to it.

Counselors are also an important force on the battlefield, and the role played by an outstanding strategist can even be compared to thousands of troops.

"Although there are nearly [-] people under Cao Cao's command, there are many elites under Marquis Wen's camp. They confronted Cao's army head-on. After the victory, they raided Changyi with cavalry. When the defenders of Changyi learned that Cao Cao had failed, they must be panic. Changyi?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "This strategy, although it will damage the officers and men of the army, is a good strategy for capturing Yanzhou."

If he confronted Cao Cao in Gaoping, wouldn't it have helped Yuan Shu, and he was unwilling to be a stepping stone for Yuan Shu to become more powerful. After breaking through Yanzhou, his relationship with Yuan Shu would inevitably become more delicate.

Chapter 152 Cao Cao is not easy

Yuan Shu didn't attack Xuzhou before because Liu Dai was guarding Yanzhou, so Liu Dai who supported Yuan Shao couldn't let Liu Dai not attack, but attack allies instead.

After Yanzhou was partitioned, the conflict between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would completely erupt.

Occupying more cities in Yanzhou will provide more guarantees when confronting Yuan Shu in the future.

Judging from the news from Xiaozuo, Cao Cao has a lot of advisers under his tent. Cheng Yu and Chen Gong are all working under Cao Cao's subordinates. If Cao Cao is defeated, not only the city but also talents will be obtained.

"Order the lieutenant generals to prepare for battle. After Cao Cao arrives, I will meet Cao Cao, the defeated general," Lu Bu said.

The general in the army Qi claimed that it was true, and many generals even smiled. Among the eighteen princes, many were defeated by Lv Bu, even the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao. He wanted to rob Lu Bu's supplies, but instead he was beheaded by Marquis Wen. He was nothing but a defeated general.

As for Cao Cao's failures in the hands of Lu Bu, there are even more.

"Wen Hou, most of Cao's army are infantry, while our army has thousands of elite cavalry, they can completely harass Cao's army on the way to Gaoping, and even defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop, while Cao's army in Gaoping city , after the previous battles, they must not dare to fight lightly." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu's eyes lit up. A head-on confrontation with Cao's army does not necessarily mean that the two armies have to set up a formation to confront each other and send cavalry to the battlefield. It will be the killing of Xuzhou cavalry.

"Following the policy of filial piety has won the heart of my lord." Lu Bu laughed loudly.

Guo Jiadao: "It's all for the victory of the Xuzhou army."

"Gao Shun led a large army to guard Gaoping. If Cao's army leaves the city, he can just charge and kill him. The Marquis will lead his personal guards and two thousand cavalry battalion to intercept Cao's army." Lu Bu said.

Gao Shun said: "General, after all, Cao's army has more than ten thousand men, why not take away all the cavalry in the general's army."

Lu Budao: "Cao Cao is not Yi Yi's generation. Leaving a thousand cavalry to support the Xuzhou army is safe. If Cao Cao has no other means, with the courage of the cavalry and the strategy of filial piety, Cao Cao wants to come to Gaoping. It’s still hard to reach the sky.”

"Here." Gao Shun clasped his fists and said.

Having been praised by Lu Bu one after another, the generals in the army could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to Guo Jia.

After all, Guo Jia was a young man, and he didn't get much attention under Yuan Shao's tent, but he was treated like this when he came to Xuzhou. Surprised, there will be a greater sense of accomplishment.

With Lu Bu's praise, Guo Jia's status in the Xuzhou Army will be significantly improved in the future. Lu Bu did this to let Guo Jia have a sense of belonging to the Xuzhou Army. No matter how talented Guo Jia is, he is still a young man , needs to be recognized, and on this point, Lu Bu can satisfy Guo Jia.

Leaving most of the soldiers outside Gaoping City, Lu Bu led the cavalry to face Cao Jun.

A quick battle is beneficial to the princes. When a war breaks out, countless food and supplies are consumed every day. It is the best policy to end the battle as soon as possible.

Based on the current situation in Yanzhou, even if Cao Cao chooses to stick to the city, there will be no good results. Yanzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands not long ago, and it is difficult for officials to feel a sense of belonging to Cao Cao. Waiting and watching, if Cao Cao loses in this confrontation, they need to consider where to go.

Lu Bu and Yuan Shu sent a large army, which made Yanzhou officials panic. They seemed to see the disintegration of Yanzhou from Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's actions. Cao Cao had a family background, but Cao Cao's family background was far from Yuan Shu's, even though Yuan Shu was in Luoyang At that time, he had a bad reputation, but now he has become a monarch with a powerful army in his hands, which is still very attractive to the Yanzhou family.

There were not a few officials who secretly contacted Yuan Shu.

How can Cao Cao not understand the situation in Yanzhou? It’s just that this situation cannot be controlled by his strength. What he needs is continuous victories to stabilize Yanzhou, just like when Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou. Lu Bu gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao has led the army for many years and has rich experience. He thinks he is no better than Lu Bu. If he had been in command of the Yanzhou Army before, it would definitely not have been defeated by Lu Bu.

All the scouts were sent to the battlefield, and before the two armies met, the scouts began a fierce confrontation.

Scouts are always the elite of the cavalry, and those who are not elite soldiers are not qualified for the post of scouts.

When marching and fighting, scouts are the eyes and ears of a large army. Only by getting more useful information can they help the commander correctly judge the situation on the battlefield.

The scouts of the Yanzhou Army were the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry in Cao's army. After seeing the invincible scene of Xuzhou cavalry across the border, Cao Cao was deeply moved and spared no expense to build 500 tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Chun's expression was serious. As a general of the Cao army, he knew that this was a critical moment for Cao Cao's life and death. If Cao Cao could get out of the turmoil in Yanzhou this time, he would stand among the princes, otherwise he would have to start all over again.

"General, Xuzhou cavalry appeared [-] miles ahead." A team leader rode forward and said.

Cao Chun nodded and said, "Have you ever found a large group of enemy cavalry?"

"No." The team led.

Cao Chun was puzzled, "This place is more than [-] miles away from Gaoping. If the army moves forward at full speed, they can reach Gaoping in less than a day. Why are cavalry from the Xuzhou Army appearing here?"

"General, our army's scouts clashed with Xuzhou army's scouts, and our army's scouts lost three people."

"Our scouts lost two people."

......

The news came one after another, and Cao Chun's face became more and more solemn. In a short period of time, the scouts sent out lost more than ten people. According to this speed, what kind of losses the cavalry will suffer. Tigers and leopards Cavalry was trained by Cao Chun alone, and the loss of every cavalry is heartbreaking.

Cao Cao didn't have Xuzhou's financial resources, and he couldn't guarantee that the horses ridden by tigers and leopards were absolutely excellent, but he gave Cao Chun a lot of power.

The equipment of the tiger and leopard cavalry is the most sophisticated among Cao's troops.

"Inform the Chinese army immediately." Cao Chun ordered.

It was normal for the scouts to confront each other, but the key was the distance from Gao Ping, which made people feel ominous.

"My lord, it seems that Lu Bu is planning to take the initiative." Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said slowly.

Chapter 153

Cao Cao frowned, "The Xuzhou army took the initiative to attack?"

"Exactly, my lord, let's see, our army is still more than ten miles away from Fangyu, but we have discovered the scouts of the Xuzhou army. This shows that the cavalry of Xuzhou are wandering on the battlefield, and they are probably looking for our army. " Cheng Yu said: "Xuzhou's army is powerful, and there are brave and skilled cavalry in the army, so it is expected that they will take the initiative to come to the confrontation."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Since the Xuzhou army is so rampant, I will teach them a hard lesson."

"My lord is wise." Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao's tactics in leading the army were no weaker than ordinary strategists. Sometimes, Cao Cao could make the right response just by reminding him.

When the news of the battle between scouts from the two armies came, Lu Bu smiled and said, "It seems that our army is not far from Cao's army. We will try our best to find out about Cao's situation."

"Here." Cao Xing clasped his fists and said.

Inquiring about news is commonplace for scouts. Their main purpose of being active on the battlefield is to find out as much as possible about the number and movements of the enemy troops.

In the afternoon, news came from scouts that Cao Jun was resting ten miles away.

Lv Bu gave an order, and the cavalry went quietly towards Cao Jun.

It is reasonable for Cao Jun to discover such a large-scale cavalry operation. The key is that the cavalry marches very fast, and there will not be much time left for Cao Jun to prepare. This is also the biggest advantage of the cavalry on the battlefield.

On the high ground, Lu Bu looked at Cao Jun not far ahead, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Cao Jun is currently resting, and it is the best time to surprise Cao Jun. When Cao Jun didn't react, nearly [-] cavalry rushed into Cao Jun. What a shock it will cause.

Just as Lu Bu was about to order an attack, Guo Jia said, "Wait a minute, Marquis Wen."

"It's July now, why is it so quiet ahead, beware of fraud."

Lü Bu's expression changed. If Cao Cao had received the news from the scouts in advance, he would have taken precautions. The cavalry indeed had strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but after encountering an ambush, the soldiers in the army would inevitably panic and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

"From Fengxiao's point of view, how should we deal with it?" Lu Bu asked.

As soon as the words fell, a general hurried over and whispered.

Lv Bu nodded slightly, and after a few words in a low voice, he turned his attention to Guo Jia again, "Just now the scouts sent news that Cao Jun's hidden soldiers were found in the jungle."

Guo Jiadao: "Cao Cao must have used the resting Cao army as a bait to lure our army to attack. If the Cao army on both sides breaks out, our army will inevitably be damaged. Wen Hou can send cavalry to print out the hidden Cao army. If this is the case, the sudden rush of elite cavalry will definitely cause serious damage to Cao Jun."

"Okay, let's use the words of filial piety." Lu Bu said.

"From the humble point of view, it is best for Marquis Wen to lead the cavalry in person, and then Cao Jun will not have any more doubts." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, agreed, and led the cavalry to go, and being surrounded by Cao's army was definitely a dangerous move, but who is Lu Bu, he is a fierce general on the battlefield.

Guo Jia also knew that his strategy would definitely make Lv Bu feel dissatisfied. He was working under Lv Bu's command and did not really decide to join Lv Bu. A monarch needs counselors, and counselors also need a monarch. The two sides also test each other. The performance of being a monarch When the counselor cannot be satisfied, the counselor will leave without hesitation.

Lu Bu became the monarch as a general, and among the princes, he can be regarded as a relatively special category.

After instructing Cao Xing, Lu Bu led a thousand cavalry to attack Cao's army.

The generals of the Cao army who were resting were panicked when they saw the cavalry rolling in. If you observe carefully, you will find that although these soldiers are acting in a panic, they are gathering towards their respective generals. Those who don't know the truth think that Cao Jun is a well-trained elite What about taxis?

"A certain one is Marquis Wen, whoever descends will not be killed!" Lu Bu shouted loudly, riding his horse and raising his halberd.

The shadow of the famous tree and Lv Bu's prestige among the princes came from fighting with a knife and a gun. Hearing Lv Bu's shout and seeing Lv Bu on the red rabbit horse, Cao Jun's soldiers became even more confused.

The cavalry rushed into the flock like a wave, and the killed Cao army scattered and fled.

Just as the cavalry was raging against Cao's army, the sound of rumbling war drums suddenly sounded on both sides. Cao Chun led [-] tiger and leopard cavalry to fight out from the left, followed by densely packed Cao soldiers, and Cao Hong led [-] infantry to fight out from the right. , For a moment, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

"Marquis Wen has already fallen for Duke Cao's plan, hurry up and accept surrender!" Cao Hong shouted.

Cao Jun's soldiers, who were panicked at first, turned to kill Lu Bu.

Although Lv Bu is said to be a peerless general, as long as Lv Bu is trapped in the formation, can Lv Bu still escape? This is a great opportunity to eradicate Lv Bu.

Cao Jun's soldiers suddenly rushed out on both sides, making the cavalry's formation slightly chaotic, struggling to support in the formation, as if they would be defeated by Cao Jun in the next moment.

It is not easy for the cavalry, who were originally the masters of the battlefield, to escape from the battlefield in a short time.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Now that Lu Bu has fallen into my plan, as long as Lu Bu is captured alive, the Xuzhou army will have nothing to worry about."

"My lord, the Xuzhou army will surely be defeated." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

Cao Cao said: "People say that Lu Bu is brave, but now it seems that he is just a reckless man, and he can be captured in a single battle."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the surrounding soldiers of the Cao army showed excitement and captured the world-renowned Marquis Wen alive. The name of Cao Jun will surely resound throughout the world.

Wen Hou Lu Bu is a hurdle in the hearts of the generals of the Yanzhou Army. The main reason is that the Yanzhou Army has failed too many times in the hands of Lu Bu before, so that when Lu Bu is mentioned, the generals will inevitably feel panic. If Lu Bu is captured alive, his prestige in Yanzhou will reach a higher level.

How could Cao Cao fail to understand what was going on? He was even imagining whether after capturing Lu Bu alive, he could take advantage of the situation and recruit the Xuzhou army for his own use. situation.

The generals in the army rushed forward to sing their praises, and made Cao Cao's praise of the world unique.

"Master, something is wrong with the situation." Cheng Yu said suddenly.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lü Bu led the cavalry and fell into the siege of our army, but judging from the performance of the Xuzhou cavalry, they were not eager to break through." Cheng Yuyao pointed to the Xuzhou cavalry surrounded by Cao's army.

Cao Cao frowned, his mood was no longer as relaxed as before. After being surrounded by the enemy, normal people will definitely try their best to escape from the battlefield. Even if Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, this is no exception.

Chapter 154 Sure enough, it is Lu Bu among the people and the red rabbit among the horses

"No, I'm afraid Lu Bu did it on purpose." Cao Cao shouted.

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and on the left and right sides, a cavalry was launched. The cavalry on the left was flying the banner of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the banner on the right was the big flag with the word "Lv".

With the number of Cao's army, it is easy to deal with the thousand cavalry led by Lu Bu, but the Xuzhou cavalry who suddenly rushed out made them panic.

When pawns face cavalry, they have obvious disadvantages.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes even covered up the shouts of killing on the battlefield.

Arrows rained like rain, and Xuzhou cavalry launched a fierce attack on Cao Jun. They were caught off guard, and nearly [-] Cao Jun soldiers fell under a round of arrow rain.

The cavalry on the left used spears, spears and other weapons normally used by cavalry. The [-] cavalry on the right showed long and narrow blades with amazing arcs. Compared with long spears, they were not small in length. gap.

Even the generals in Cao's army have never seen such a weird weapon.

The scimitars used by the eight hundred personal guards were exactly the scimitars forged by the craftsman workshop according to Lu Bu's requirements.

The cavalry will lose the advantage in attack distance when using a scimitar, but the light weight of the scimitar allows the cavalry to slash freely on the horse. For the same attack, the scimitar can slash three times. A cavalry with a long spear can only slash Swing twice, the faster the frequency, the faster the killing speed will be.

The scimitars used by the guards are all forged from [-]-year-old steel, shining brightly through the sun.

This is the first appearance of the eight hundred guards on the battlefield, and they use weapons that have never appeared in the Han army before.

The cavalry who can be selected to become Lu Bu's personal guards are undoubtedly elite. They are the existence to protect Lu Bu on the battlefield. Wherever Lu Bu rushes, they will follow him like a shadow.

Lu Bu formed such a cavalry team, and the generals in the army were happy to see it. It was mainly because Lu Bu was on the battlefield. It is common for him to lead the way. With specially protected cavalry, the generals in the army can also feel relieved. .
