Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 515
In the morning of the next day, the army went out, and in order to attack Jinyang before Zhao Yun, Ma Chao set off with his troops at five o'clock.

Except for Lu Bu's [-] cavalry, Chen Gong brought almost all Xiliang troops this time. To Ma Chao, these Xiliang troops are no strangers. Commanding them is no more difficult than Zhao Yun's. Normal commander.

"I'm going to go straight to Jinyang like this?" Lu Bu and Chen Gong set off with a large army, and they had to deploy food, grass and supplies. Naturally, the march was relatively slow. It was the first time Lu Bu was sitting in the rear, and he was obviously not used to it. The marching speed was a bit of a torture for Lu Bu.

"Let's see the battle situation." Chen Gong said something inscrutable.

Battle situation?

Lu Bu frowned, feeling a little baffled by Chen Gong's words.

However, in the afternoon, it was reported that Ma Chao had captured Pingtao, and Zhao Yun had already reached Qi County, and there was almost no decent resistance from the cities along the way.

"What are they doing?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong in confusion, and the city was surrendered?

"Probably because I heard that Marquis Wen is here, so I can shrink the line of defense and rely on the fortified city and favorable location to garrison Jinyang. At the same time, it can also lengthen our army's supply line." Chen Gong was not surprised by this.

"You already knew?" Lu Bu asked, looking at Chen Gong.

"Probably, after all, the name of Marquis Wen is well-known in the world. Whether it is Xinpi, Guo Yuan, or Gao Gan, they are not considered generals under Yuan Shao's command. Yuan Shao never thought that Marquis Wen would appear here. Bingzhou As far as Yuan Shao is concerned, it's just that the way is sideways, so Ziyan set up this plan to let Marquis Wen go to Bingzhou, and he will lead the army to confront Yuan Shao, so that we can take Bingzhou as soon as possible." Chen Gong nodded.

What Chu Nan did was to avoid Lu Bu's risk and face the battlefield. Once Lu Bu appeared, he would definitely be the focus of Yuan Shao's attention.

But at the same time, as long as Lu Bu does not show up, Yuan Shao will not dare to move lightly, and there is a big time gap between them, enough for them to occupy most of Bingzhou. As long as they take Taiyuan County, Shangdang, Xihe, and Shangjun will naturally Easy to get.

As long as he attacked the city, Yuan Shao had to face the situation of flanking attack.

Lu Bu nodded, it was quite useful to listen to these words, he looked at Chen Gong and said, "Then how do you plan to fight the public platform?"

Chen Gong waved his hand and spoke the words, a phantom map appeared in front of the two of them, Chen Gong pointed to the map and said: "With Zilong and Ma Chao here, it is enough to capture Jinyang, Marquis Wen has other important matters to deal with."

Lu Bu looked at the map and said after a moment of silence: "The Huns?"

"En." Chen Gong nodded: "This is for food and grass, don't wantonly kill, then Huchuquan violated our border, openly opposed the imperial court, and should be punished for the crime, I will defeat the Xiongnu soldiers in the Jinyang area, but the Huns They come and go like the wind, they will not stick to Jinyang like Simpi and others, and will definitely retreat after being frustrated."

As he spoke, Chen Gong stretched out his hand, and three roads appeared on the map, marked with red dotted lines, going to Dingxiang, Yanmen and Hetao respectively.

"No matter where you go, Mayi is the place you must pass through. Marquis Wen can go here first to set up an ambush. If Huchuquan can't go back, you should be punished!" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said, "After beheading Huchuquan, Marquis Wen Go to Hetao in the name of the imperial court, canonize the new Chanyu, and then ask for cattle, sheep and horses."

"These things are their lifelines, so they may not be willing to give them." Lu Bu has been in the frontier for a long time, and he is very clear about the habits of the Hu people. The importance of food on the grassland is much higher than that in the Central Plains. If you want their food, you really dare to fight with you. Not to mention the imperial envoys, even if their Shanyu or even the leader of a tribe dares to forcefully collect taxes like the Central Plains, then these barbarians will definitely fight desperately with their knives.

Now Chen Gong does not allow him to kill wantonly, but also asks him to collect cattle, sheep and horses, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Then call until they are willing to give it!" Chen Gong said something that didn't fit others' plans.

He doesn't want to kill, but he can fight to death. If he is convinced, he will naturally be willing to give it.

Lu Bu was quite famous in the area of ​​Bingzhou in his early years. Now, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and when he returns to his hometown, it is natural for the Hu people to recall the enthusiasm of this former flying general.

"Understood!" Lu Bu nodded, then looked at the map carefully and said, "800 people can keep me in the land of no one, but to raise food and fight big battles, 800 people are not enough!"

"Divide Marquis Wen with [-] soldiers and horses," Chen Gong said.

"In this way, your side is less than five thousand." Lu Bu frowned and looked at Chen Gongdao.

"There are two generals, Zilong and Ma Chao, these soldiers and horses are enough to fight Yanmen." Chen Gong said with a smile: "But as for the food and grass, we need Marquis Wen to take care of it."

Lu Bu nodded, looking at the map, from Hedong to Mayi, not to mention that many places are not in his hands, even if they are, the transportation of grain and grass is still a big problem.

The consumption of food and grass for [-] soldiers and horses is not a small amount, and Lu Bu has to solve it by himself, which is a big trouble.

But how to solve it?

Lu Bu couldn't help turning his eyes to the Hetao area...

"Hurry up!" Lu Bu thought for a while, then looked at Chen Gong and said, "I can last up to five days!"

With [-] soldiers and horses, even if they only eat meat, the daily consumption will be more than two white-headed sheep, five days, a thousand-headed sheep.

In this way, it is impossible to go directly to Mayi. He has to go to Xihe County first. There are many Huns living there. Thanks to Cao Cao, many Huns moved in.

"Five days..." Chen Gongjue's number was a bit conservative. With Lu Bu's ability, if he let go of his hands and feet to plunder, it would not be a problem to last for ten days.

Lu Bu said on the fifth day, obviously he had considered a lot of things. For example, the ultimate goal was to intercept Huchuquan, so he could not expose his whereabouts too much. Only a small group of people could rob them, and a large group of people had to hide their whereabouts to avoid being noticed by the enemy.

Chen Gong's already dissipated curiosity was aroused again. When did Lu Bu become so stable?What has he been through during this time?
"After five days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hide my whereabouts again!" Seeing Chen Gong's delay in answering, Lu Bu explained.

Really thinking about these!
Looking at Lu Bu who was looking at the map carefully and seemed to be memorizing the terrain, Chen Gong said with a gratified smile, "Okay, just five days!"

With the abilities of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, it shouldn't be a problem to hit Yanmen within five days.

Of course, risks exist, but compared to the rewards, these risks are worth taking.

"Divide the troops!" Lu Bu did as he said, and immediately divided the troops with Chen Gong. He took [-] soldiers and horses and his own [-] elite cavalry.

Seeing Lu Bu's army disappearing from sight, Chen Gong felt a little emotional. For the first time, he felt a sense of security and trustworthiness from Lu Bu.

Not bad, more and more like a commander in chief.

General, Lu Bu was originally, and he was the top one, but the previous Lu Bu lacked an overall view, so although he was brave and invincible, he was always a general rather than a handsome.

Although Lu Bu is still naive in many things now, he has begun to see the overall situation in terms of fighting. This is a good breakthrough!

All the way was an empty city, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao marched very fast. In the evening, Zhao Yun had already reached Yangyi, and encountered some Yuan Jun blocking the way in Yuci, and Ma Chao was also on his way to Jinyang after breaking through Daling. Encountered resistance in Fenshui.

However, the battle experience was lackluster. This Fenshui River is not a big river, and a good horse can even jump directly across it. Although Yuci is the gate of Jinyang, it can only be considered solid when it comes to strength. Most importantly, there are few people.

Defending the city can mobilize public opinion to a certain extent to protect it, but if there are few people in the city, the gathering of public opinion will naturally be less, and the generals that Simpi can send can only be considered average, but it is Zhao Yun who is facing fierce generals. It is the defense of the city. With the recovery of the power of the earth and the earth, it will take several rounds of volleys for Zhao Yun to break through this kind of city.

Although Zhao Yun's arrow array was not as good as Huang Zhong's, he was definitely among the top among generals.

Ma Chao's side was more intense. Relying on his good horse, Ma Chao jumped directly to the ferry on the other side, and defeated the enemy's defenders with his own strength, and the defenders retreated steadily.

After resting overnight, the second general arrived outside Jinyang City early the next morning, and Chen Gong also arrived in Jinyang with food and grass.

"Sir! The last one arrives first!" Ma Chao glanced at Zhao Yun triumphantly, and smiled at Chen Gong.

Zhao Yun just felt a little baffled, he didn't understand why Ma Chao kept provoking him, he didn't seem to offend him, right?

Even connecting touch never had much.

"Good job." Chen Gong smiled encouragingly. He probably knew what Ma Chao was thinking. It seemed that he needed to find a chance for Zhao Yun to tame the horse.

Pointing to Jinyang City in front of him, he said with a smile: "The enemy army is empty all the way. Obviously they are shrinking their forces. Relying on the strong city of Jinyang, they will fight our army here. This Jinyang City is different from other cities. It is strong and has a large army, and it is clear that there are a lot of people on the top of the city, so it is much more difficult to break the city than before."

"It's just Jinyang, what's the point, sir, please allow me to lead the troops to attack the city, and I will definitely break the city today!" Ma Chao said proudly.

"Teacher, the law of war says that attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the mind is the top priority. Now that Yuan Jun has lost cities and lands one after another, the morale of the army will inevitably be low. It is better to suspend the siege, and use the army formation to demonstrate to the people in the city. Weaken the hearts of the people and shake the morale of the army It won’t be too late to break through.” Zhao Yun looked at the green qi in the city, and he knew about the green qi after following Chen Gong, a great Confucian, for so long.

Firstly, the public opinion in the city needs to be directed towards the defenders, and secondly, there must be Confucianists who can transform this public opinion into the green energy of the city. To break the city, it is best to break the hearts of the people first, otherwise the green energy formed by the will of the people will not be able to attack the city. Too restrictive.

"Why is General Zilong so courageous? It's just Jinyang, why bother? Mister, why don't you let the last general try first, if you can't break the city, how about using General Zilong's method?" Ma Chao wanted to talk to Zhao Yun. Hearing Zhao Yun's objection, he just thought he was responding to himself, and immediately got more angry and said to Chen Gong.

"Alright!" Chen Gong stopped Zhao Yun who wanted to say more, nodded and said: "Then Meng Qi will go and try it, I will wait and see."

"it is good!"
