Great Military Division

Chapter 214 Kill Ben Luoyang, Liu Bian wipes Lu Bu in the book room!
On the way to Luoyang City.

A team is meandering slowly.

Sitting on his horse, Liu Bian looked at the seemingly familiar Luoyang suburb, but it was hard to find anything in common. It was a scene of desolation and depression, with burned houses and villages everywhere.

"Is that the Magpie Village?"

Liu Bian raised his finger and pointed to a piece of ashes.

In his memory, he fled here with Shi A, Wang Yi, and Tang Ji, and joined the ranger Deng Zhan.

The big locust tree at the entrance of the village is particularly conspicuous, but now there is only a half of a thick trunk standing alone in the spring breeze, and the village behind has been reduced to ashes.

"Ah."

Zhu Tong nodded, with tears in his eyes: "Yes, that's right there."

Liu Bian was heartbroken, he reined in his horse and paused for a moment, then bowed his head in the direction of Que Village in salute: "The army will set up camp later, you come here to pay homage to the undead."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave it to the last general."

The team moves on.

Set up camp at Jianchun Pavilion ten miles outside Luoyang City.

It is worth mentioning that Luoyang City has a total of twelve gates, from which twelve roads extend.

And these twelve roads were divided into two by "Guo", that is, 24th Street.

In order to facilitate pedestrians to rest and shelter from wind and rain, 24 street pavilions were built in these 24 streets.

In the 190th volume of "Taiping Yulan", the "Ting" article is quoted from "Customs" as follows:

Because of the Qin Dynasty, the Han family led a large rate of ten miles and one pavilion.

Pavilion, stay also.

In today's language, there are pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions for travel, lodging and food.

The pavilion is also flat, the people have lawsuits, and the officials are left to judge, so don't lose their integrity.

The street pavilions in the Han Dynasty not only had the function of landscape decoration, but also had an area equivalent to the small square in the middle of the street in later generations. They also had roofs, which could provide shade and shelter from the rain, and the design was very thoughtful.

There is a post station next to the pavilion, which can be used for businessmen to rest; there is also an outpost, which is used for security and defense; and the public trial of cases by local officials is also held in the street pavilion, which means that the common people can see the trial process to show justice.

According to the records of "Historic Que Palace Historic Sites in Later Han City", the 24 pavilions outside Luoyang City are as follows:
Fanglin Pavilion, Fengchang Pavilion, Guangshi Pavilion, Changyi Pavilion, Guangying Pavilion, Dingyang Pavilion, Zhayao Pavilion, Baoshi Pavilion, Guangyang Pavilion, Ximing Pavilion, Longevity Pavilion;

Qianqiu Pavilion, Xiyang Pavilion, Dongming Pavilion, Zhuzhong Pavilion, Dongyin Pavilion, Jianchun Pavilion, Zhijian Pavilion, Degong Pavilion, Dongyang Pavilion, Anzhong Pavilion, Xiaojing Pavilion, Qingming Pavilion;

There are 23 pavilions, one of which has lost its name.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xun Yu drew a map of the deployment of enemy troops outside Luoyang City based on the information sent back by the scout horse, and handed it to Liu Bian to review and discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, the voice of the Military Division Alliance seemed very excited: "Master Bian, the experts let me stay to thank you. The names and locations of the 24 pavilions are all complete."

"is it?"

Liu Bian was very happy to be able to help the history experts in the Military Division Alliance: "That's good."

The military division alliance continued: "And according to the current map drawn, the distribution of these 24 pavilions has certain rules, not just based on the 24th street."

"Among them, there are twelve pavilions near the Guo Line, that is, the Guo Gate that distinguishes the Guo District and the suburbs, so that it is convenient for merchants to identify landmarks and facilitate business."

"There are also twelve pavilions built outside the inner city gate. Experts speculate that their purpose is to provide accommodation for merchants who cannot keep up with the curfew and enter the city. After all, there is a post station next to the pavilion."

"The Jianchun Pavilion where we are now camping is just outside the South Gate of Luoyang, on the South Street of Pingcheng Gate. This is the largest of the four street pavilions nearby, and the bridge over Luoshui is also the largest."

"."

After listening to the introduction of the Military Division Alliance, coupled with the intuitive impression of Xun Yu's drawings, Liu Bian roughly understood the current situation, especially the geographical factors.

At this moment, Xun Yu pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and said softly: "Your Highness, according to the news reported by the horse scouts, the South Gate has the largest number of troops. There are at least three patrols on the other side of the Luoshui River within a quarter of an hour, and the strength of the troops is about one team."

"Although we don't know exactly how many soldiers there are on the other side, but still the number of patrols and the strength of the troops, I'm afraid the strength of the troops will not be less than [-], or even more."

"As for the soldiers and horses near the east and west gates, there are relatively few of them. They may only serve as a defense aid. Once there is a battle from the south gate, cavalry will come out from the east and west gates to harass our army's rear."

huh~~~
Speaking of this, Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and frowned slightly: "Your Highness, the scene at this time is several times, even dozens of times more difficult than it was at Guangcheng Pass."

"That's right!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said in agreement: "Our army's supplies of food and grass will be sent from the direction of Daguguan. The distance on the way is nearly a hundred miles, and there is no cover. The Xiliang Xiao rides back and forth like the wind, and it is not easy for our army to defend."

"Yes."

Sun Jian also frowned, feeling melancholy: "Therefore, our army should decide this battle quickly, and there must be no hesitation. Once the war is prolonged, the problem of food safety will become increasingly prominent."

Liu Bian took a deep breath: "Have you sent out scouts to check the surrounding situation?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, it has already been thrown out. They will carefully inspect the entire Luoyang City outside, in case there are cavalry hiding outside and attacking our army food road."

"Ok!"

Only then did Liu Bian feel relieved, and glanced over the crowd: "Do you have any specific opinions? You can speak freely."

Sun Jian took the lead in answering: "The last general thinks that we should focus on attacking the south gate in this battle, supplemented by defending the east, west, and north gates. The generals of each faction will strictly guard against it to highlight the superiority of our army's strength."

"Wentai's statement is reasonable, but it is not feasible."

Xun Yu shook his head first, and said with lingering fear: "If the allied army has only our troops, it is natural to do so, but with Yuan Shu, Yuan Zhong and others present, I am afraid that other troubles will arise."

"Don't you forget."

Xun Yu solemnly emphasized: "There are 24 bridges outside Luoyang City. Even if all the generals of our army's Sima level are sent out, it is impossible to stick to these bridges."

"The thieves are cavalry soldiers. Once they find a weak point in the defense, they can force a surprise attack in a short period of time. They mainly attack with bows and arrows, supplemented by cavalry charges. How can our army resist it?"

"This battle!"

Xun Yu said softly: "As before, we still have to cooperate with Yuan Shu, Yuan Zhong and others. There are too many uncertain factors."

"Wen Ruo makes sense."

Zhang Liao stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and said, "This battle must not only be tactically reasonable, but also practically operable. Those two moths of the Yuan family have suffered repeated losses, so how can they be willing to use it for me?"

During the first battle of Guangchengguan, Yuan Shu was completely wiped out by the whole army, and he fled back to his hometown in Yuzhou in despair.

During the Battle of Daguguan, although Yuan Shu and others made some weak military achievements, in the end, the greatest contribution was actually belonged to Tang Xiang by King Hongnong.

After these two incidents, even a fool may not be so easily fooled again.

No one knows exactly what will happen to Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhong, let alone jump to conclusions.

"That's right!"

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively, and said softly: "Er Yuan is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored. Although Wentai's strategy is good, it involves too many areas and is slightly less operable."

Although Sun Jian's strategy was rejected, he did not complain at all, and even nodded affirmatively, voluntarily admitting: "It is true that the general's thinking is simple."

Luoyang City is very large, and it is really very difficult to cover everything.

And the opponents are all cavalry, flying horses gallop to help, as fast as lightning, so they have to guard against it.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was because Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo were frightened by fighting too hard in the early stage, otherwise the opponent would not have given up their field advantage and retreated to the defensive.

While everyone was discussing strategies.

suddenly.

"Report—!"

There was a long sound from outside the tent.

Liu Bian looked up.

However, a guard came in from outside the tent, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the military commander Gao Shun begs to see you."

Liu Bian frowned slightly, and couldn't help being curious: "Gao Shun?"

The guard nodded: "Exactly."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "Let him in."

"promise."

The guard responded.

Immediately.

Bow and exit the big tent.

After a while, Gao Shun came to the tent and stepped forward: "The last general, Gao Shun, see Your Highness."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal his excuse: "Get up, the general is here, is there something wrong?"

Gao Shun didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, when the last general inspected the enemy's situation, he found that a large part of the soldiers and horses on the other side of Luoshui River were wolf riders. He thought that the main general of the opponent might be General Lu."

"therefore."

Gao Shun bowed his body and cupped his hands, pleading: "The final general wants to go to the enemy camp, help His Highness, and persuade General Lu to surrender."

Liu Bian let out a cry of surprise: "You want to go to the enemy's camp and persuade Lu Bu to surrender?"

Gao Shun nodded, and said with absolute certainty: "That's right! Please give me your Highness's permission."

Liu Bian naturally knew that Gao Shun's heart was for the old master, besides, he had promised Gao Shun before that one day, he would definitely take Lu Bu into his pocket, and then he would not violate the morals in his heart.

Now, Lu Bu is camping on the other side of the Luoshui River, how could Gao Shun let go of this opportunity.

Because of this, Gao Shun had the courage to rush to plead for his life.

"This"

Liu Bian fell into deep thought.

At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room were even more arguing:

"Fuck! Ask Gao Shun to persuade Lu Bu to surrender? There must be a rhythm of going and never returning."

"That's right, Lord Bian can't agree to Gao Shun, how can he let him fly after he finally got his hands on a fierce general?"

"Gao Shun is doing a good job with his little calculations. If Lu Bu doesn't surrender, he just won't come back."

"How do you say that sentence? Meat buns beat dogs, never come back?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The description upstairs is too apt."

"Although Gao Shun is loyal, it's really quite risky."

"Loyalty is right, but please remember, people are loyal to Lu Bu."

"I still feel like I can't take the risk!"

"."

Have to admit.

Netizens' concerns are justified.

However, since Liu Bian had promised Gao Shun, how could he not keep his word?

He frowned, and asked secretly: "Teacher, can you give me some advice? I can't just agree to something, so I will turn my face and deny it immediately? This is too villainous."

After a pause, the voice of the Military Division Alliance sounded: "Master Bian, after unanimous discussions among experts, we agreed to allow Gao Shun to visit the camp and persuade Lü Bu to surrender, reaching 77.8%."

"Furthermore, there is an ancient military research expert who came up with a temporary idea, maybe Master Bian can use it, and it may have unexpected effects."

Liu Bian took a deep breath, and said worriedly, "Will Gao Shun ever leave?"

The Military Division Alliance said with certainty: "Maybe, but the possibility is not too high. If Gao Shun really didn't plan to come back, he might have fled away long ago. There is no need to stay by Lord Bian's side all the time."

"Even if Gao Shun didn't come back, seven or eight out of ten, he was forcibly detained by Lu Bu. The possibility that he didn't plan to come back is very low."

"Besides, let's take a step back. If Gao Shun just pretended to surrender and didn't care about Master Bian, even if you gave him [-] soldiers, he wouldn't be able to develop a trap camp."

"Ordering Gao Shun to go to the enemy's camp this time to persuade Lu Bu to surrender is a test for Gao Shun to the experts. In fact, it is beneficial to Lord Bian."

Liu Bian took it for granted, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It makes sense, if the experts have any suggestions, let's talk about it quickly."

The Alliance of Military Division hummed: "Okay! It's actually very simple. Mr. Bian should have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right? There is a passage called Cao Cao Mo Shu Jian Han Sui."

Liu Bian thought for a moment: "Yes, I've heard it."

The military division alliance was overjoyed: "Very good, we can also wipe Lu Bu in the book room."

Just when Liu Bian was communicating with the Military Division Alliance.

In the tent, Sun Jian's eyes fell on Gao Shun, and he said in a strange way: "Gao Sima, is it not appropriate for you to go to the enemy camp to persuade the old master to surrender?"

"Your Highness is not mean to you!"

Sun Jian took a deep breath and stared at Gao Shun with burning eyes: "You go all over the battalion to inquire, who can be the commander-in-chief of the army when he first landed, and has a full manpower deployment."

"Even I, Sun Jian, did not receive such treatment, nor did General Wen Yuan. How dare you take the initiative to ask to see the old master?"

Gao Shun naturally knew that such and such were somewhat unreasonable, but he couldn't help but say: "Since the final general has surrendered to His Royal Highness Hongnong, he will not have second thoughts. No matter whether he succeeds or not, the final general must return .”

"whispering sound!"

Sun Jian shook his head: "Who would believe it?"

Even Xun Yu couldn't help but said: "I hope the general understands His Highness's difficulties. If you can accommodate me, why don't you write a letter?"

"This"

Gao Shun was a little embarrassed.

But at the same time, he was clear about his request, which was a little too much.

When Gao Shun was in trouble, Liu Bian suddenly said, "Shi Xun, since Gu has promised you, he will never go back on his word. Since you want to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, why don't you write a letter for Gu."

Gao Shun's eyes lit up suddenly: "Your Highness agreed?"

"Your Highness, you."

Sun Jian was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Bian waving his hand: "Wentai doesn't need to say anything more, Gu believes that Shi Xun is a loyal person, how will Gu treat him, he knows it well, and he will live up to Gu!"

Gao Shun hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thank you Your Highness, the final general will live up to his high expectations."

The corners of Liu Bian's lips raised slightly: "But just this time, it's your wish to be fulfilled. No matter what the result is, after you come back, you should keep your own place and don't cause trouble again."

Gao Shun was ecstatic in his heart: "The general will understand, thank you Your Highness for your kindness."

"Just wait a moment."

Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, and turned to say: "Left and right, take silk and pens, and I just want a handwritten letter for General Lu."

　PS: Gao Shun, styled Shi Xun. "Shiming": Shun, follow.It complies with the standard of word selection at that time.
