Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 136 Wisdom is the leader, Guan Yu seeks Xiliang General

Lu Zhi's eyes sparkled, with a look of approval: "Yun Chang, let's talk about it, how to use this estrangement?"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War. Ji Pian" has a clear evaluation standard for the quality and cultivation of excellent generals: generals, wisdom, trust, benevolence, courage, and strictness.

Among them, wisdom is the first, referring to the quality and ability of the general, and its core is knowledge and talent.The general is not about being brave but about planning. This is the first condition that a general must possess.

Next is letter.People do not stand without trust. Whether it is to superiors or subordinates, they must do what they say, do what they do, and make promises.In addition, there must be firm ideals, persistent pursuit and the quality of consistency between words and deeds.

Jen again.To be benevolent is to love soldiers like children, and if one is not benevolent, one cannot share the suffering of hunger and labor with the three armies.

Followed by Yong.Hesitation is the greatest harm in the use of troops; the disaster of the three armies is born of suspicion.The courage of a general should not only avoid dangers and difficulties, but also be resolute and resolute in making decisions without being indecisive.

The last is Yan.There is no rule without rules, military laws are not strict, and military orders are difficult to implement.

Before meeting Zheng Ping and Lu Zhi, Guan Yu performed very well in the four standards of "faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness", but he was lacking in intelligence.

Since Zheng Ping donated the book "Dog Tao", Guan Yu has been consciously training the general's "wisdom". The only "wisdom" that is lacking in the world is also improving rapidly.

Wisdom is the first, followed by benevolence, followed by bravery.

If a general cannot use strategy, he is not considered excellent!

Lu Zhi had great expectations for Guan Yu and was raised as an heir.

For example, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Fei, and Tian Yu can only be counted as one of Lu Zhi's many disciples, but Guan Yu is the disciple Lu Zhi is determined to teach!
Therefore, when Guan Yu revealed the weakness of the Xiliang bandit soldiers and could use the timing of separation, Lu Zhi did not directly say right or wrong, but gave Guan Yu a chance to elaborate.

Guan Yu sorted out his thoughts and analyzed: "Master Lu once said that Xu Rong came from the Liyang Camp in Wei County. He was originally the cavalry captain of the Liyang Camp. The soldiers in the Liyang Camp are mainly knights from Youzhou and Bingzhou. Defend Gyeonggi."

"In the past, General He Jin wanted to punish the eunuchs and recruit foreign generals to Beijing, but he was worried that the foreign generals would not be controlled, so he mobilized soldiers from the Liyang Camp to Luoyang to guard."

"However, He Jin died at the hands of the eunuch, and Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to take over the power again. He used high-ranking officials and rich salary to win over Xu Rong, so Xu Rong also belonged to Dong Zhuo's command."

"However, the generals of the Liyang camp are not only not from the same county as Dong Zhuo, but also from the first day they are recruited into the camp, they will be trained to be only loyal to the emperor's order."

"Although Dong Zhuo claims to be a grand master and acts according to the orders of the emperor, he is not the emperor after all."

"Therefore, even if Xu Rong is sincerely loyal to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will not believe in Xu Rong!"

"Li Jue and Guo Si belonged to Dong Zhuo's most trusted general, Niu Fu, but their official positions were far lower than Xu Rong's, so Xu Rong wanted to encircle and suppress Sun Jian, and a single order could send Li Jue and Guo Si to Liangdong. "

"Belonging to Dong Zhuo's command, it is normal to recruit nearby defenders to defeat the invading enemy, but Li Jue and Guo Si deliberately gave up Chenggao Pass."

"It can be concluded that Li Jue and Guo Si have personal grievances with Xu Rong! Li Jue and Guo Si may even falsely accuse Xu Rong in front of Niu Fu and impose the crime of Cheng Gaoguan on Xu Rong!"

"Dong Zhuo saw that Cheng Gaoguan was lost, and Niu Fu sued Xu Rong. Even if he had doubts, he would trust Niu Fu."

"If the guess is correct, Dong Zhuo will send other generals to replace Xu Rong, so as to avoid Xu Rong's disagreement with Li Jue and Guo Si, which would delay the battle!"

After a pause, Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard: "You can send someone to send a letter to Xu Rong, telling Xu Rong the real reason for the loss of Cheng Gaoguan, and let him beware of Li Jue and Guo Si's false accusations."

"Xu Rong must be suspicious!"

"What to do in the future depends on whether Li Jue and Guo Si will really falsely accuse Xu Rong."

After a while of analysis, Qu Yi, Cao Bao and Tian Yu were dumbfounded.

Especially Qu Yi, it is difficult to connect Guan Yu, who is braver than himself in his impression, with Guan Yu, who is a wise general in front of him!
Cao Bao scratched his cheeks, but his head was still dizzy.

How did this involve Xu Rong having a personal grievance with Li Jue and Guo Si?
There is also the speculation that Xu Rong will be suspected, can it really be deduced based on the existing information?

Tian Yu and Qu Yi had the same ideas, especially when he followed Zhang Fei to the south, Zhang Fei said to Tian Yu every day, "My second brother, the world is invincible" and "My second brother, taking the head of a general among thousands of troops is like picking something out of a bag." Worship words such as "My second brother, born with supernatural powers that no one can match".

As a result, Tian Yu's impression of Guan Yu has always been "the enemy of ten thousand people" and "reticent".

As a result, now, Guan Yu has analyzed Xu Rong, Li Jue, and Guo Si with certainty, and is even planning to use a plan to alienate Xu Rong.

Guan Yu's expressiveness at this time is too shocking to the past impressions of Qu Yi, Cao Bao and Tian Yu.

Compared to Qu Yi, Cao Bao and Tian Yu's astonishment, Lu Zhi stroked his short beard in satisfaction.

Yun Chang is indeed very talented!

This is a natural talent for generals!
The old man has successors!
Sighing three times in his heart, Lu Zhi praised lightly: "The old man only mentioned Li Yangying and Xu Rong once, and Yun Chang remembered it in his heart. From this, he can also analyze Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo. The intimacy between them."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Yun Chang has truly understood the essence of the art of war."

When facing Lu Zhi, Guan Yu had no arrogance in his eyes, and bowed his hands humbly: "Don't dare to forget Master Lu's teaching! But I'm just learning this way, and there are inevitably some omissions. I also ask Master Lu for guidance."

The admiration in Lu Zhi's eyes became stronger: "Yun Chang's analysis of Xu Rong and others has almost reached the point. There is only one point, I don't know if Yun Chang has thought of it."

"Xu Rong has already defeated Sun Jian. Even if Dong Zhuo had doubts, why did he send other generals to replace Xu Rong?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment.

Sun Jian has been defeated, so it doesn't matter whether Xu Rong is transferred or not.

Do you suspect that Xu Rong will collude with Lu Zhi?
Although Dong Zhuo believed in Niu Fu, he didn't believe in Niu Fu to such an extent.

It is enough to let Xu Rong stand still, and Li Jue and Guo Si are responsible for repelling Lu Zhi.

"I also ask Master Lu for advice." Guan Yu was even more humble.

Lu Zhi smiled lightly: "Yun Chang, although you understand knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you neglect what is beyond yourself and your enemy."

Guan Yu thought for a while, and said, "Master Lu is talking about Sun Jian?"

Lu Zhi nodded: "Although Sun Jian was defeated, he was relying on Yuan Shu behind him, so there would be no shortage of food and grass. You only need to gather the defeated troops to make a comeback."

"Sun Jian wants to take revenge, so he will definitely attack Luoyang again. Seeing that Chenggao Pass has been lost, Xu Rong will first ask Li Jue and Guo Si for help. If Li Jue and Guo Si really falsely accused Xu Rong, he will definitely refuse to help, then Xu Rong We can only ask Chang'an for reinforcements."

"Dong Zhuo didn't want to lose Luoyang, so he had to send another general to replace Xu Rong in order to integrate the Xiliang soldiers in Luoyang."

"Yunchang, you have to remember! When analyzing the enemy and us, we must take the reactions of our allies into consideration."

Guan Yu bowed down.

After a pause, Lu Zhi said again: "Since we are talking about allies, let me say one more thing. When Yun Chang is considering Sun Jian as an ally, he also has to consider whether Sun Jian might turn against him."

Guan Yu was stunned: "Master Lu, since he is an ally, why would he turn against us? Will Sun Jian turn around and attack us?"

Lu Zhi earnestly taught: "Yun Chang, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. What's more, soldiers are a major event for the country. The place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be ignored."

"Based on the purpose of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu to challenge Dong, the possibility of defecting is not very high, but what if Sun Jian chooses to withdraw at a critical moment?"

"Or, there are changes in Yuzhou, and Sun Jian has to withdraw his troops."

"These speculations are all possible!"

"And as a general, I have to anticipate the possible next move of my allies and take precautions accordingly."

"In this way, you will not let yourself fall into a desperate situation, so that you will be defeated and regretted through the ages."

"Yun Chang, the old man knows that you have always attached great importance to faith, but a general and an army should not only act with faith. Wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness are all indispensable. There will be five dangers and six defeats in the army. You must remember !"

Guan Yu bowed his hands awe-inspiringly, "I would like to follow Master Lu's instruction."

Although he was teaching Guan Yu, Lu Zhi did not let Qu Yi, Cao Bao and Tian Yu leave.

These words benefited Guan Yu, and also benefited Qu Yi, Cao Bao and Tian Yu.

Lu Zhi began to issue military orders: "Guorang, you are good at spying. Immediately send people to investigate the movements of Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Sijun, and Sun Jianjun. The rest of the people are temporarily resting in Chenggao Pass, waiting for orders."

All the generals stared at each other.

On the other side, although Sun Jian suffered a big defeat and almost died in Xu Rong's ambush, he was not discouraged.

After Zu Mao fled back, Sun Jian led four generals to gather the defeated troops all the way, and occupied Yangren in the west of Liang County, ready to wait for an opportunity to fight again to avenge their shame.

Backed by Yuan Shu in Nanyang, although Sun Jian lost a lot of food, grass and supplies, he quickly got supplies again.

As for Xu Rong who was at Taigu Pass, he heard that Sun Jian was making a comeback again. He wanted to attack but was afraid that Lu Zhi, who had seized Chenggao Pass, would raid Taigu Pass.

But Li Jue and Guo Si who returned to Luoyang did not want to listen to Xu Rong's orders.

In desperation, Xu Rong could only send someone to send the battle report to Chang'an, asking Dong Zhuo to send troops to support him.

But what Xu Rong didn't know was that Li Jue and Guo Si had already charged Xu Rong with the crime of losing Cheng Gaoguan.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was losing his temper in the middle pavilion.

"Xu Rong's traitor, how dare you transfer Li Jue and Guo Si away without authorization, and let the old man Lu Zhi rob Chenggao Pass!"

Without Chenggao Pass, Lu Zhi could enter Luoyang unimpeded, which made Dong Zhuo very annoyed.

How could Dong Zhuo feel relieved after losing the first battle and losing such a dangerous pass as Chenggao Pass?

What made Dong Zhuo most depressed was that Hua Xiong also sent back bad news.

Huangfusong arrived in Luoyang within ten days, and it was difficult to kill Huangfusong on the charge of delaying the military plane.

Although marching eight hundred miles within ten days was difficult for three thousand infantry recruits, Huangfusong was not a lamb to be slaughtered, and directly imposed the most stringent military orders on the recruits.

The stragglers beheaded!

Moreover, Hua Xiong, the supervising army, and one hundred cavalry were responsible for enforcing the military law.

So that when the three thousand recruits arrived in Luoyang, there were only 200 left.

This ruthless method made even Hua Xiong feel terrified!

"Old man! Huangfusong and Lu Zhi, these two old men, are as difficult to deal with as ever!" Dong Zhuo was even more depressed when he received Hua Xiong's reply.

Whether it was Lu Zhi or Huangfusong, Dong Zhuo tried to kill them both before moving the capital, but failed.

So much so that now Lu Zhi and Huangfusong are still living well in front of Dong Zhuo!

It made Dong Zhuo feel stuck in his throat all the time.

Before Dong Zhuo's anger subsided, Xu Rong's battle report was also sent to Chang'an.

"Sun Jian's entire army was defeated, how dare he come?"

Seeing Xu Rong's battle report, Dong Zhuo's eyes became more fierce.

As Lu Zhi guessed, if Sun Jian was defeated and dared not attack Luoyang again, Dong Zhuo would not send Xu Rong to replace him even if he hated Xu Rong deeply.

The most angry Xu Rong caused Li Jue and Guo Si to lose Chenggao Pass in order to grab credit.

But now that Sun Jian has made a comeback and Chenggao Pass is lost again, if Dong Zhuo doesn't dispatch additional troops, Xu Rong, Li Jue, and Guo Si in Luoyang may be defeated one by one!

Coupled with Huangfusong's unstable factor, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to gamble!
Dong Zhuo quickly got into trouble: "Here's an order to seal Hu Zhen as the General Protector, and hurry to Taigu Pass to replace Xu Rong in charge of the army!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly felt that the opportunity had come again: "Father! It's not that the child underestimated Hu Zhen. It's just that Hu Zhen ran away without fighting when he met Sun Jian last time. If he meets Sun Jian again, he may not be able to win."

"It's better to let the child go with the army. If Hu Zhen can win, let's go. If Hu Zhen can't win, with the child, I will definitely not let Sun Jian enter Taigu Pass!"

Upon hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo hesitated.

Although Hu Zhen is a trusted general, Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied when Hu Zhen ran away without a fight when he met Sun Jian last time.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's hesitation, Lu Bu asked again: "I also ask the adoptive father to give the child a chance to make meritorious service, and let everyone in the world know that the brave and skilled fighters under the foster father's command are not comparable to those weak people in the Kanto region!"

Seeing Lv Bu repeatedly asking for a fight, Dong Zhuo couldn't refuse anymore.

If you want to raise a tiger, you have to give the tiger a chance to forage alone.

"My son is brave!" Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and praised: "Since that's the case, I will take you as the cavalry commander and follow Hu Zhen to Taigu Pass!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo finally agreed, Lv Bu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you foster father, my son!"

Finally, it's my turn, Lu Bu, to go out!
Since joining Dong Zhuo's command, he has always followed Dong Zhuo's side as his personal guard. Even if there is a war, Dong Zhuo will only open the way for Dong Zhuo when he travels.

But this is not what Lu Bu desires!
As a warrior, how can he only be a guard?
Even if the guards are the most powerful in Chang'an City, that's not what Lu Bu wants to pursue.

A real man was born between the heaven and the earth, how can he live under the people for a long time!

Lu Bu needs to be famous!
And the only place to become famous is the battlefield!

"Bingzhou Erlang, I'm going out with the Marquis!"

Returning to the long-lost barracks, Lu Bu summoned Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who were also from Bingzhou.

Zhang Liao and other generals were also very excited.

After dormant for a long time, I finally have a chance to make contributions.
