Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 146
"Marquis Wen, it's time to send troops!" Seeing the letter from Guangling expressing his willingness to provide food and lodging for the army, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and smiled.

They have been preparing for this battle for a long time, whether it is soldiers, horses or food, they are all ready, just waiting for the time to come, and now, Cao Cao has fought Yuan Shu, and it is Lu Bu's opportunity to send troops to Guangling.

Lu Bu read the letter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The Chen family father and son plotted against me several times, I will kill them with my own hands, and order all the troops to gather and send troops to Guangling!"

"Could this be to invite you into the urn?" Chu Nan took the letter and read it for a while, then looked at Chen Gong.

The Chen family's father and son are full of hearts, even Wei Yan can see that they want to take Guangling, but Chen Deng and Chen Gui can't see it?Now that he saw that they were so generously let in, Chu Nan would never believe that the Chen family father and son had no conspiracy.

"Please come into the urn?" Chen Gongpin said with a smile: "It's quite appropriate, but so what?"

Chen Gong showed a rare domineering spirit: "It is imperative to capture Guangling, so why don't you let it go?"

"That's not true, just be careful." Chu Nan shook his head. As for generals, Lu Bu can stand up to ten, but their counselors are far behind. Even if Chen Gong alone can stand up to ten, but There are not only Confucian generals like Zhou Yu, but also hundreds of Xuzhou elites that Chen Deng secretly recruited, all of whom are capable or Confucian scholars who can follow the law.

In terms of the number of ability users alone, they are obviously at a disadvantage.

"Let's see, that Jiangdong rat, how can he dare to stop me!" Lu Bu didn't care about it: "If that Sun Jian was alive, I might still respect him a little bit, but now his son is in charge of Jiangdong, fighting Just beat those mobs in Jiangdong, if you dare to come, let him come and never come back!"

Chu Nan nodded. He also thought it made sense. Two new generals, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, were added here. In terms of the strength of the generals, it can be said that Lv Bu was in his heyday.

It's just that the group of Confucianists is a bit of a headache.

At the moment, following Lu Bu's order, the soldiers of the three armies that had already been prepared quickly assembled outside Xiapi City. This time, in addition to attacking Guangling, they also had to watch the right time to bite a piece of meat from Cao Cao's mouth, so Lu Bu this time Almost all of them came out, except for Zhang Liao who was sitting in Xiaopei to guard against sneak attacks by Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, the famous generals under Lv Bu's command would participate in this battle, including Gao Shun's trapped camp and Lv Bu's most elite cavalry and soldiers. There are [-] horses, so don't underestimate the hundreds of thousands of other princes. This is the limit that Lu Bu can take out now.

If it is announced to the outside world, these [-] soldiers and horses can be called a [-] army, but it is not necessary.

But before the expedition, there is still a problem to be solved, who can be the pioneer?
There are many generals in Lv Bu's camp, but the vanguard is a very important position. They are not pawns. They are responsible for exploring roads, scouting the enemy's situation, disrupting the enemy's deployment, and launching tentative attacks.

Generally, the vanguard is served by the elite troops in the army. The general must not only have the ability to command the army, but more importantly, he must have sufficient decisiveness and judgment of the situation. Once the vanguard is destroyed, it is easy to dampen his own spirit.

In fact, according to Chu Nan's perspective, although there are many generals under Lu Bu's command, there are not many who are suitable to be pioneers. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun can be pioneers. In addition, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Wei Yue, People like Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian are somewhat uninterested. Except for Cao Xing, these people have all fought with Lv Bu before. They can be entrusted with important tasks by Lv Bu. They still have bravery, but they have the ability to lead an army alone. Chu Nan expressed doubts.

Especially this time, they were facing counselors like Chen Deng and Zhou Yu. If they were not careful, they might be led into the ditch.

"My lord, I have recruited a new general named Wei Yan, who has made many military exploits under Zhang Xiu's command. How about giving him a chance and teaching him to be the vanguard?" Chu Nan brought a few Sub-joking tone.

He naturally hoped that Wei Yan could take the vanguard position. One was to promote Wei Yan, and the other was safer. Even if Wei Yan was defeated, Chu Nan believed in his ability and could still be withdrawn.

However, both Wei Yan and Huang Zhong were new recruits and lacked qualifications, so there was room for Chu Nan to speak in such a tone.

"Zi Yan, I will let you do other things, but the position of the vanguard is of great importance. Even if you want to promote a general, he can't do it!" Hou Cheng took a step and faced Lu Bu. A salute said: "My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard."

"That's right." Chu Nan nodded and said no more. Sure enough, there were many people vying for the vanguard position. After all, if the vanguard is done well, it's a first-class achievement. But Chu Nan didn't have much confidence in Hou Cheng and others, so he opened his mouth to make excuses. Wei Yan asked for a fight.

It's a pity that Hou Cheng doesn't know good and evil. If he fights again at this time, in the eyes of others, he will be promoting his confidant. Although Lu Bu trusts him now, if he wants to mess up, he will be easily provoked by others.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Wei Xu stepped forward and saluted Lu Bu.

After Wei Xu, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Song Xian, Cheng Lian and others also petitioned for orders, willing to be pioneers.

"What Hou Cheng said is right. The position of the vanguard is important." Lu Bu nodded, glanced at everyone, and said without much hesitation, "Hou Cheng!"

"The end is here!" Hou Cheng bowed.

"I order you to be the vanguard, to investigate the enemy's reality, remember our previous strategy, don't compete with the enemy's main force, and focus on harassment!" Lu Bu threw a command arrow at Hou Cheng.

In the eyes of Chu Nan, Hou Cheng is naturally not a general, but among Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian, he is considered the most powerful one. Lu Bu obviously attaches great importance to the vanguard!
"The last general takes orders!" Hou Cheng took the command arrow and saluted Lu Bu.

Chu Nan's complexion changed slightly. The moment Hou Cheng took the command arrow, the originally white cloud above his head began to turn black. This is a sign of great danger. Based on Chu Nan's current ability, within the next seven days, Hou Cheng must have Life and death catastrophe.

"Teacher, I see that Hou Cheng's luck is bleak. I'm afraid it will be bad luck. I don't know if there is a way to break it?" Chu Nan leaned closer to Chen Gong and asked in a low voice.

Chen Gong knew that Chu Nan was hopeful of Qi, so he frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "You can order a general to accompany you in secret, and if you really encounter threats, you can also come to your rescue."

Chu Nan nodded when he heard the words, looked at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, according to our previous plan, this battle should be dominated by harassment. Although the vanguard is Zhong Yao, I suggest that you send more troops to support each other. After crossing the river , General Hou Cheng will definitely go straight to Guangling, and the other groups will first attack and harass the enemy's various places, preventing them from communicating with each other, and secondly, they can also support the vanguard.

Lu Bu nodded, looked at Wei Xu, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian, and said, "Each lead a thousand soldiers, follow the plan, use the beacon fire as the name of each other, and support each other in case of danger. , Remember, if you encounter the main force of the enemy army, you must not rush forward, mainly attack and disturb, and wait for the main force of our army to cross the river before making any calculations."

"Here!" Hearing the words, the five people took their orders and left.

Chu Nan looked at their luck, but it didn't change much, only Hou Cheng's luck turned black, and there was a catastrophe!
Chu Nan originally wanted to add another layer of freshness preservation, but because of his intentions, if he stopped the fire and sent people to follow him, he would definitely hold grudges. Even if he came back alive afterwards, he would not be grateful for it and simply give up.

It's hard to persuade the damn ghost, since Hou Cheng refused to listen to him, Chu Nan didn't say much, I just hope he can come back alive, if you don't deal with it, it's one of your own!
The plan was decided, Lu Bu arranged for people to supervise the food and grass, Hou Cheng led three thousand vanguards to go out first, Wei Xu and others led various ministries to follow up, followed by Lu Bu led the rest of the army, and marched towards the Huai River in mighty strength.

As soon as the soldiers and horses moved here, Guangling got the news soon.

"How about Hou Cheng?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Deng and asked.

"Among the generals under Lu Bu's command, apart from Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he should be the most brave and skilled in martial arts. Now Lu Bu regards him as the vanguard, which shows that he attaches great importance to him. Brother Gong Jin must not be careless and underestimate the enemy." Chen Deng laughed.

"What is this person's temperament?" Zhou Yu asked after thinking for a moment.

"Although the generals under Lu Bu's command are brave, they are all brave and intrepid. Hou Cheng is a man who relies on his bravery, and he is quite domineering on weekdays. It is said that when Chu Nanchu was Jin Cao, he was ridiculed by him, Embarrassment!"

"Since that's the case, let's try to kill them first to dampen Lu Bu's morale!" Zhou Yu nodded, looked at the generals and said, "Where are Jiang Qin and Lu Meng?"

"The last general is here!" Jiang Qin and Lu Meng came out together and bowed.

"The two of you each lead a battalion to take the initiative to fight against Hou Cheng!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "But you can only lose, not win."

"Captain, why is this!?" Jiang Qin and Lu Meng looked at Zhou Yu in confusion.

"Of course, if you have the ability to wipe out the vanguard of the enemy army, then you will turn it into reality and wipe out Hou Cheng's troops. I will personally celebrate for you, but if you can't, you will be dealt with by military law!" Zhou Yu said at the end, looking at Second General.

If defeated, both Jiang Qin and Lu Meng are confident, but if the whole army is destroyed, it will be a bit difficult.

"If you're not sure, then follow orders!" Seeing the two men hesitate, Zhou Yu took out two order arrows and said, "You still don't accept orders? Do you want me to send you two off in person?"

"The last general takes orders!" Jiang Qin and Lu Meng reluctantly took the arrow and left reluctantly.

"Zhou Tai!" After the two left, Zhou Yu took out another command arrow and looked at the generals.

"The last general is here!" Zhou Tai stretched out his hands to receive the command arrow and said at the same time: "Captain, the last general will definitely destroy the bandit army, and he is unwilling to feign defeat."

"Oh?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Tai, didn't put the command arrow up, and said with a playful smile: "I want the general to cut off Lu Bu, the general is sure he can destroy it?"

"This..." Zhou Tai was at a loss for words. Others might still be sure, but the destruction of Lu Bu would...

Although he has never fought before, Lu Bu's reputation for bravery is well-known throughout the world. Although he is proud of his bravery, he is not confident that he can destroy Lu Bu's main force. If he really had this ability, Jiangdong would have taken Xuzhou long ago.

"Take ten of your boats, a hundred boats, and three thousand sailors. After the main force of Lü Bu crosses the river, cut off the way back. Remember, if Lü Bu's army dares to enter the water, they will rape them. If they don't enter the water, they must not be reckless. Go ashore and fight." Zhou Yu put the command arrow in Zhou Tai's hand and said with a smile.

"Here!"
