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

Chapter 635 There Are Pig Teammates Everywhere

At noon, a scout came to report that Cao's army had pulled out the stronghold and was retreating towards Jiyin.

It's no wonder that Cao Jun injured many generals last night, but still failed to keep Lu Bu, resulting in low morale and no desire to fight.

In such a state, Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat.

When the generals learned of this, many people clasped their fists and begged for orders, asking to lead their troops in pursuit.Even if Cao's army cannot be completely wiped out, at least a lot of supplies can be intercepted.

Lu Bu was a little moved, but Guo Jia persuaded him: Don't chase after the poor.

Lu Bu pondered for a while, and began to think carefully.

At this time, Gai Xi, the captain of the guard under the tent, clasped his fists and said bluntly: "Master Guo is young, how can my lord listen to his one-sided words and give up this great opportunity?"

Gai Xi is the fifth son of Mu Gaixun of Liangzhou. Because of the good relationship between Lu Bu and Gai Xun, he has some martial arts skills and is proficient in the art of war, so he was recommended to serve under Lu Bu's command.

There are many such examples. Many families who have taken refuge in Lv Bu's family, and their children will be recommended as officials, which is used as a means for Lv Bu to win over the aristocratic family.

Most of the people at the bottom are illiterate, so the aristocratic family that monopolizes knowledge management is particularly important.

Although as early as the first two years, Lu Bu listened to the opinions of the theater and expanded many colleges in Bingzhou, Guanzhong and other places, but it will take at least ten to twenty years for this group of students to grow up.

Therefore, during this period of time, we still have to rely on the aristocratic family to provide a large number of talents.

Gai Xi's meaning is very simple, Cao Cao was defeated and left, and he should take advantage of the victory to pursue.

If God does not take, you will be blamed instead!
Faced with Gai Xi's unreasonable accusation, Guo Jia sneered, thinking he was disdainful, but he didn't bother to argue with him.

There is a saying in "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Military Struggle": Therefore, in the law of using soldiers, don't face high hills, turn your back on hills and don't turn against them, don't follow if you pretend to be north, don't attack sharp soldiers, don't eat bait soldiers, don't stop returning troops, and encircle the troops. Don't chase the poor.

Don't say good things twice, anyway, what should be reminded has already been reminded. As for the specific plan, it depends on Lu Bu's own consideration.

Seeing that Guo Jia had no words, Gai Xi thought he was right, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, and immediately cupped his fists: "My lord, I'm willing to lead the army to pursue and dedicate Cao Cao's head to the lord's tent."

If Cao Cao was so easy to kill, he wouldn't be Cao Cao.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, and did not agree to Gai Xi's proposal, but asked the scouts to continue to keep a close watch on Cao Jun's movements.

Cao Cao is familiar with military books and strategies, and now he has uncles and nephews from the Xun family to help him.

At first, Lu Bu didn't have much idea of ​​these two people. When it comes to impressions, it's just that they met once when they were conquering the Yellow Turbans.

But after hearing about Xi Ce, these two people have the talents of Zhang Liang and Xiao He, so they should not be taken lightly.

Therefore, Lu Bu kept these two people in his heart.

Back in the tent, Ge Xi angrily left his helmet on the ground, holding back his anger.

The confidant Marquis Zhu Ping picked up the helmet from the ground, patted the dirt on it, then hung it on a wooden stand, and asked tentatively: "General, what's wrong with you?"

Gai Xi was furious in his heart, and his face was not good. He said loudly without hesitation: "Today's discussion, my lord listens to what a child says, and if we don't use our good strategies, how can we achieve great things!"

"General, be silent!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ping was startled, and hastily made a 'shh' gesture, then lifted the tent and poked his head out, only to be relieved when he saw no one around.

Talking about the right and wrong of the lord behind his back is a serious crime if he is caught.

"What are you afraid of? What I said is just the truth."

Gai Xi was still angry, and he slapped the table heavily with his palm: "If my lord continues to listen to the nonsense of that kid surnamed Guo, why should we leave the pass this time, and we might as well stay in the pass for the rest of our lives."

After hearing the whole story from Gai Xi, Zhu Ping made a suggestion: "If the general is sure that he can defeat Cao Cao, why don't you lead your troops and pursue them?"

Gai Xi also thought about it, but when the matter was just discussed, Lu Bu had already made it clear that they were not allowed to pursue without authorization.

This is a military order.

The fate of disobeying military orders is very clear to the generals.

It can be as light as a hundred military sticks, or as severe as beheading for public display.

"When the general picks Cao Cao's head, my lord and the other generals will have nothing to say." Handing Gai Xi a bowl of cold water, Zhu Ping encouraged him in a low voice.

Gai Xi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

If it is true what Zhu Ping said, when he comes back victorious after taking the head of Cao Cao, everyone in the camp, including Lu Bu, will definitely look at him with admiration.

Even if you violate the military order, you can make up for it.

What's more, his father is a Liangzhou shepherd, even if he violated the military regulations, Lu Bu would not execute him for his father's sake.

Just do it.

Gai Xi made up his mind, but with his current power, he could only mobilize more than a thousand soldiers, which was still a little less than Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops.

So he ordered Zhu Ping to invite two other captains, Ding Shou and Luo Shi, who were good friends with him, to explain his intentions.

These two people are both people from Xiliang, and their tempers are relatively straightforward.

After listening to Gai Xi's remarks, the two were both a little moved, but they were afraid that Cao Cao's troops would exceed ten thousand and the disparity in strength would make it difficult to win.

Gai Xi didn't take it seriously, as if he had the chance to win: "My lord, leading a hundred cavalry, would dare to attack the camp. Together with our soldiers and horses, there are at least four thousand soldiers. Why should we be afraid of chasing Cao Cao's remnants and defeated generals? "

"Furthermore, my lord relies heavily on his gang of Bingzhou generals, and it's not a day or two to belittle me. We should be witnesses for Xiliang men."

What Gai Xi said later made Ding Shou and Luo Shi finally make up their minds.

Instead of continuing to remain unknown like this, it is better to simply give him a go.

So, the three joined forces, led by Gai Xi, without reporting to Lu Bu, they went out of the camp to pursue Cao Jun without authorization.

When walking out of the gate of the camp, Xue Lan, who was in charge of patrolling the outside, happened to bump into the three of them, and asked them suspiciously why they left the camp.

Ding Shou and Luo Shi obviously had a guilty conscience, and they stammered awkwardly, not knowing what to explain.

On the contrary, Ge Xi was calm, and lied that he was ordered to go out of the camp, saying that he was going out to carry out important matters.

As for the specific order to be executed, Ge Xi didn't say much, and Xue Lan couldn't ask clearly.

Some matters were confidential tasks, and they were not allowed to disclose half of them to others, so Xue Lan didn't ask any more questions, but just told the three people to be careful, and then continued to lead troops to patrol.

Under Lu Bu's camp, military discipline has always been strict, and almost no one dared to violate the ban.

So Xue Lan thought that these three people should not be so bold as to lie about the military order.

Until an hour later, Xue Lan and Li Feng handed over and talked about it unintentionally.

Sensing that something was wrong, Li Feng hurriedly went to report to Lu Bu, saying that Gai Xi had led the soldiers out of the camp.
