The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 516 It's really him!

"Gongtai, what do you think of this matter?"

After listening to the scolding report, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong.

As a strategist under his command, Chen Gong certainly wants Lu Bu to value him more, and this time is undoubtedly the best time for him to perform.

He cupped his hands towards Lu Bu, and said in detail: "General, Liu Yan's intention to send troops to attack Hanzhong is self-evident. He must want to swallow Hanzhong into his stomach and use it as a barrier to the north of Yizhou."

Lu Bu was deeply convinced that Liu Yan's intentions were as clear as a lice on a bald man's head.

When he was an official in Luoyang in the past, when the first emperor Liu Hong was still in power, Lu Bu had dealt with this Han family clan member. Compared with Liu Yu's lenient and Liu Dai's upright and reckless, Liu Yan seemed ambitious .

He advised the emperor that the governor should be abolished and replaced by the governor of the state, and the military and political power of the state and county should be concentrated in the hands of the governor of the state.Previously, Liu Hong was worried about the dominance of state shepherds and would not be controlled by the court, so he did not agree to it until his life was about to come to an end, then he nodded and agreed to the plan.

Liu Yan asked himself to be the shepherd of the state, and later, when he heard Dong Fu say that Yizhou was worthy of the emperor, he went back and begged the emperor to let him take up the post in Yizhou.

From this move alone, it can be seen that Liu Yan has ulterior motives.

After arriving in Yizhou, the original governor of Yizhou, Quejian, had been killed by the Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang. After Jia Long organized an army in Yizhou to defeat Ma Xiang, he welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou.

Liu Yan, who took office, started a series of policies to attack local tyrants internally and consolidate his own power; externally, he appeased and sheltered those who escaped and rebelled, and tried his best to implement the policy of tolerance and grace, which won the praise of the people.

But in fact, Liu Yan has ulterior motives in his heart.

Last year, when the feudal lords of the world challenged Dong, Liu Yan, who was a member of the Han family, refused to send troops and kept the prefecture on its own.Under the chaos, tens of thousands of refugees from Nanyang, Sanfu and other places entered Yizhou. Liu Yan collected them all and called them "Dongzhou Soldiers".

Now, Liu Yan, who has expanded in strength, is obviously no longer reconciled to the land of Bashu, and has extended his hand to Hanzhong.Once he is allowed to sit in Bashu and Hanzhong, he will be a veritable emperor of the land.

It will be difficult to catch him again.

Lu Bu was pondering Liu Yan's thoughts in his mind, and Chen Gong went on to say: "If my guess is correct, Liu Yan's army should have crossed Daba Mountain and marched into Hanzhong from Micang Road. Their attacking goal is to directly Refers to the prefecture of Hanzhong County——Nanzheng!"

"Where is Nanzheng?"

Lu Bu asked suspiciously. He didn't have a regional topographic map of Hanzhong in his hand, so speaking of many places, they were all unconstrained, and he couldn't figure out the south, east, north, south, and north. He felt like a blind man.

"Please take a look, General."

Chen Gong took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, and laid it flat on the table. On the cloth, there were paintings of mountains, rivers, cities, roads, north-south directions...

Lu Bu took a closer look and said in surprise, "This is... a topographic map of Hanzhong!"

Seeing Lu Bu's surprised appearance, Chen Gong felt a little proud in his heart. After all, he let Lu Bu see his own ability, but he said modestly: "The painting is simple, please take a look at it."

This topographic map of Hanzhong was also drawn by him all the way these days.Among them, the city roads in Hanzhong were also learned from the mouths of those Hanzhong soldiers. I can't guarantee [-]% correctness, but I just drew them according to their descriptions.

Looking at the map, Lu Bu quickly found their current location.

Judging from the scale of the drawing, after passing Baocheng, there are still forty or fifty li before reaching Nanzheng.

The plains are not like the mountains, maybe in the Baoxie Road, forty or fifty miles, it may not be possible to walk for three or four days.But on the plain, if you ride a horse, it will take more than half an hour.Walk faster, and it is estimated that you will be able to arrive at dusk tomorrow.

"If my predictions are correct, Su Gu should now be occupying the Han River and confronting Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu."

Chen Gong swiped his fingers at the Han River, then returned to Nanzheng and tapped lightly, and suggested to Lu Bu: "General, Su Gu sent all his troops to fight in the south. At this time, Nanzheng is empty. Instead of taking Baocheng, we can directly take Nanzheng in one go!"

A gleam flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he also had the same idea.Taking advantage of Su Gu not knowing that he came to Hanzhong, let's make a quick decision and take Nanzheng!
Afterwards, Lu Bu, who had made a decision, summoned all the generals under his command into the account, and ordered decisively: "Pass on my general's order, and have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, troops will be dispatched to Nanzheng!"

All the generals were excited when they heard this order, they clasped their fists together and said in unison: "Here!"

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers under his command had assembled early, and Lv Bu led the army to set off.

On the way, the soldiers of the three armies only had a midday meal before continuing on their way.

At dusk and sunset, at the north gate of Nanzheng.

The guard on the tower saw the dust rolling in ahead, and hurriedly woke up the general who was dozing next to him: "Look, general, there seems to be a large number of soldiers coming over there!"

The general, who was having a sweet dream, suddenly woke up, sat up from the ground, put his hands on the city wall, and looked in the direction the soldiers pointed.

Sure enough, a team was approaching them, and in terms of numbers, there were at least five to six thousand people.

There should not be many people in Baocheng, where did this army come from?

Cheng Hu murmured in his heart, he recruited a confidant, and ordered with him: "Go to the county mansion to inform Chang Shi, tell him that there are enemy troops coming from the north gate of the city, and ask for reinforcements."

The soldiers took the order, went down the tower and ran towards the county mansion.

As a county city, Nanzheng has extremely strong fortifications.

"Alert! Alert!"

Cheng Hu roared loudly on the tower, and summoned his soldiers to prepare to defend against the enemy.

The soldiers on the tower heard the order and acted quickly.The crossbowmen form a row, draw out their bows and arrows, nock and string the arrows, and when the bandits approach, they can shoot and kill them immediately.

Soon, the team had arrived at the city.

"City guard, quickly open the city gate!" Jian Wei urged his horse forward, pointed his spear at the top of the city, and shouted loudly.

"Who is coming!"

Cheng Hu asked loudly, this army is fighting under the banner of "Lv", but there is no one with the surname of Lu among the generals from all over Hanzhong.

He looked at the general at the head below, with an indifferent face, purple gold crown, beast face armor, holding a cold painted halberd in his hand, and a tall red fire dragon horse riding on his crotch...

Could it be that!
Suddenly, a figure popped up in Cheng Hu's mind, and he remembered a person, a famous and legendary figure.But he immediately rejected his idea, that person should be in Chang'an now, how could he appear here.

"I, the Right General of the Han Dynasty——Lu Bu!"

A mighty voice came from below.

The soldiers on the top of the wall were all stunned, even Cheng Hu was stunned on the spot.

It's really him!
