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

Chapter 655 Attacking Yuan Shu
Lu Bu glanced at Liu Xiang who was kneeling on the ground begging for surrender, without any mercy on his face, he waved his hand calmly: "Drag it, behead it."

It's useless for such mediocre generals to stay, maybe bad things will happen in the future.

So, why keep him?

Lu Bu executed Liu Xiang resolutely, then looked at Ma Zhong, and praised with a smile: "The arrest of Liu Xiang this time is the first achievement of Wudang, and I will play it to the imperial court to commend you as a general who seeks the captives."

"Jingwu" is the word that Ma Zhong asked for from Xi Ce. It is taken from the word "Jingwu" in "Jingxi Wulue, Yicheng Daqi". Ma Zhong himself is very satisfied with this.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

Ma Zhong clasped his fists and answered loudly. For him, the reward was second to none. The most important thing was to feel proud and proud that he followed the right lord.

If Yuan Shu hadn't given up on himself back then, Ma Zhong might still be a lackey under Yuan Shu's tent now.

But now, the lord and the mistress treat him very well, and they don't treat him as an outsider at all. Even the little young lord who used to hate him would often grab some sweet fruits and stuff them into his hands quietly, smiling innocently and saying "" Uncle, eat quickly, it's so sweet!"

The young master's smile was sweet in his heart, far a hundred times sweeter than the fruit in his hand.

He watched the young master grow from a little baby girl to an innocent and lively girl.

Whenever the young master came to tell him what was on his mind, Ma Zhong under the mask would always sit on the edge of the threshold and listen quietly. When the young master was happy, he would also show a satisfied smile.

But the inferiority complex in his heart made Ma Zhong never dare to take the initiative to talk to the young master, let alone take off the mask on his face.

He knew that his ugly appearance would frighten the young master.

As long as you can follow the lord to conquer the world, and silently protect the young lord.

That's fine.

Ma Zhong's wish in this life is roughly the same.

Conferring kings and worshiping generals is nothing compared to that.

After Liu Xiang was executed, Chen Wei came over to inquire about the treatment plan for those surrendered soldiers.

"My lord, how to deal with these soldiers, do you want to..."

As he spoke, Chen Wei made a gesture of wiping his neck, which everyone understood.

Lu Bu took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, and finally nodded his head.

Chen Wei understood and started to do it immediately.

Zhang Liao, Ma Zhong and others didn't stop them either. Sometimes wars are so cruel that there is no room for kindness.

This raid failed to wipe out Liu Xiang's army, and many escaped, so they must go back and report to Yuan Shu.

Within half a day, Yuan Shu should know everything that happened in Yang Xia.

When the time came to attract the army to kill them, Lu Bu would not be able to spare these captives. If he fought back at a critical moment, Lu Bu's side would only be in trouble.

After occupying Yangxia, Lu Bu ordered his soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then lined up to prepare for battle at any time to meet Yuan Shu's main force.

The soldiers who escaped from Yangxia rushed to Yuan Shu's camp at the fastest speed, and reported the fall of Yangxia to Yuan Shu.

"impossible!"

Upon hearing the news, Yuan Shu was very confident.

He didn't believe that Lu Bu would show up in Yangxia at all. In terms of time, this was simply impossible.Therefore, Yuan Shu firmly believed that this was just a small group of forces taking the opportunity to raid Yangxia, and the main force led by Lu Bu was still in Waihuang.

"This is Lu Bu's strategy to lure the enemy. The purpose is to lure us to rescue Yangxia, so that we can be restrained here, creating and delaying more time for his main force. It's just a trick, and you want to deceive me, we Don't fall for it!"

Yuan Shu showed contempt and disdain, with his hips akimbo, and his tone was very conceited.

Suddenly, like an expert outside the world, he has already seen through everything.

The counselors and generals under his command were taken aback by Yuan Shu's words, they all took it for granted, they all clapped their hands together and praised: "My lord is wise!"

Seeing everyone worshiping him, Yuan Shu enjoyed the feeling of being admired very much. Taking advantage of this momentum, he waved his hand: "Send the order and continue marching tomorrow!"

Lu Bu waited for four full days in Yangxia, but he still couldn't wait for the movement of Yuan Shu's army. Instead, Xu Rong who came from Luoyang, and Xu Huang who rushed from Chenliu arrived.

The combined strength of the three groups is fifteen thousand.

I haven't seen Xu Rong for a long time, Xu Rong is still the same, silent, and his appearance has not changed much.Only the top of the lips and the chin have short mustaches, which makes the whole person look more calm and majestic.

Until there was information that Yuan Shu continued to march towards Waihuang without paying any attention to Yang Xia.

After everyone heard it, they were all stunned.

Has Yuan Shu lost his mind?

Knowing that Yang Xia was lost, he still didn't come to rescue him, so what's the point of letting Liu Xiang guard Yang Xia before.Lu Bu has been vigilant and prepared for this for several days, but in the end, is all this just a battle of wits and courage with the air?
Zhang Liao felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have killed those surrendered soldiers at the beginning, otherwise he would have gradually subdued them, and in the future they would have a considerable strength in the army.

Lu Bu has no regrets about this. There are no assumptions about war.

However, Yuan Shu's actions this time also confirmed the conclusion that the later generations gave him a coffin, that the bones in the tomb were arrogant and reckless.

Knowing that Yuan Shu would not come to attack Yangxia, Lu Bu immediately made a new strategic deployment in the tent with Zhang Liao, Xu Rong and others.

Since Yuan Shu was heading for Wai Huang, Lu Bu sent someone to tell Huang Zhong to stay at Wai Huang, and made an illusion that the army was gathering and wanted a decisive battle to confuse Yuan Shu.

On the other hand, Lv Bu decisively ordered Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others to inform them, ordering the soldiers of each battalion to quickly pack their bags and prepare to attack Yuan Shu's main force.

This time, Yuan Shu is dead!
However, Yuan Shu at this time had no idea that Lu Bu had led his army here. He led an army of nearly [-] to cross the Baishui and Bianshui leisurely. Huang, started a duel with Lu Bujun.

Yuan Shu has been waiting for this battle of revenge for many years.

The climate in hot summer is very hot, especially after noon, the sun is even more vicious.

The soldiers and horses couldn't stand the heat, and Yuan Jun's marching speed was greatly reduced.In addition to the time for setting up camp and burying pots for cooking, the team only traveled thirty or forty miles a day.

Yuan Shu is not in a hurry, he believes that God is fair.When he thought about it, his deadly enemy, Lu Bu, was probably too hot right now, and he didn't know where to hide to cool off.

So along the way, Yuan Shu basically rested when he got hot, sometimes he even rested in the cool woods until the sun set on the hillside, and then walked forward for a while.

Several days later, Yuan Shu's army finally arrived at Jishui, ready to start crossing the river.

　About Ma Zhong’s character, I couldn’t find it on Baidu. The word Dexin mentioned by book friend Ari is another Ma Zhong, a general of the Shu Kingdom, and I should mention it later.

　　I still want to thank you for your kind opinions and the rewards of book friends these days. Sometimes I am busy writing, and my mind flickers, and I forget to write words of thanks. I am very sorry.
