Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Xu Huang was left to sit in the valley while Lu Bu returned to Taiyuan.

When Gao Shun arrived, he pulled Zhang Yang and Liu Mang together to discuss the change of Ding Yuan's alliance with Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army.

Lu Bu believed that Ding Yuan went from Youzhou to Dongdu and took refuge with Dong Zhuo, so he was an enemy.

This time the opponent fought back to Bingzhou and roped in Zhang Yan, it must be to deal with him, so it would be better to strike first and fight for strength.

He crusaded against Kebineng and won consecutive battles. He was very high-spirited and spoke with high spirits.

Gao Shun had a different opinion. Ding Yuan had the justice of the court, but Zhang Yan had tens of thousands of thieves, so if he wanted to fight, he couldn't fight hard.

Especially at present, the Bingbei economy has just started. Once an all-out war breaks out, business and trade will be finished.

Therefore, he suggested to be polite first and then to fight, and to negotiate with Ding Yuan so as not to invade each other.

Zhang Yang felt that what Gao Shun said was reasonable. His business was just budding, and if a fight broke out, he would suffer huge losses.

Liu Mang said, "It's okay to talk, but if we don't fight, it won't be easy."

Lu Bu asked: "Where to fight? How to fight?"

Liu Mang said: "The Black Mountain Army is the remnant of the Yellow Turbans. There are hundreds of villages in the Taihang Mountains. Just wipe out ten or twenty of them first and let old thief Ding know how powerful they are!"

Gao Shun nodded, this method can knock down the mountain and shake the tiger.

Suppressing bandits was a matter of course. Even if Ding Yuan and Zhang Yan reached a tacit agreement, the Montenegrin Army was obviously a rebel force and there was no problem in destroying the stronghold.

At the same time, Gao Shun also got inspiration from the training of the Yongzhou New Army. Most of the farmers who had just joined the army had diarrhea when they went into battle, but they were full of confidence in dealing with the bandits and road bullies.

Therefore, Gao Shun agreed with Liu Mang's proposal and asked him to take the new soldiers into the mountains for actual combat training.

"Let those raw melons and eggs see blood, so that their legs and feet will not be weak in future battles."

Lu Bu didn't care. He would negotiate with Ding Yuanwen for at least ten and a half days. During this time, Gao Shun could handle it himself.

Therefore, Gao Shun led [-] new soldiers and marched into the Taihang Mountains in the east under the banner of suppressing bandits and bringing peace to the people.

As soon as Gao Shun took action, Zhang Yan received the news and immediately reported it to Ding Yuan.

Coincidentally, Lu Bu's official document also arrived on the same day, inviting Ding Yuan to Taiyuan to reminisce about the past.

"Reminiscing about the past? Reminiscing about your mother's past! Shameless boy, most shameless!"

He originally wanted to win over Lu Bu, but he never expected that the other party would sneak across the border and attack him, which was like giving him a big blow.

However, Qin Yilu, who was engaged in Bingzhou, saw through Bingbei's intentions and believed that Lu Bu was just showing off his martial arts, and used this to suppress Ding Yuan.

"If the state Mu raises an army to fight, he will fall into Lu Bu's scheme. It is better to pretend not to know, order him to suppress the bandits, and promise him rewards to make him jealous."

Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and finally felt that he had to take the Montenegro Army into consideration.

"What's Zhang Yan's explanation?"

Qin Yilu said with a smile: "Then we will naturally send another envoy to urge him to temporarily avoid Lu Bu's attack. We can choose a safe place for him to station in Shangdang, and then withdraw his troops to the north and return to the mountains."

Ding Yuan suddenly realized that this was a good man on both sides!
Ding Yuan followed the plan and wrote to Lu Bu to issue an order to suppress the bandits, thus establishing his identity as Bingzhou's governor, even in name only.

Of course, people were also asked to inform Zhang Yan to withdraw from the mountains with his men first. A good man would not suffer the immediate consequences.

But Ding Yuan underestimated the complexity of the Montenegrin Army, so Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly after receiving the notice.

There are more than 20 forces, large and small, in the Taihang Mountains. Although they are the most powerful, other groups also have their own territories and they follow the instructions but not the propaganda.

But in any case, Lu Bu wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and Ding Yuan had the power and no troops to do anything.

Zhang Yan is not stupid. Ding Yuan wanted to join the annexation of the state, but he needed to deal with Lu Bu, so he wanted to win over the Black Mountain Army.

Therefore, having troops on hand is the most important thing. Therefore, he notified the leader in the southern mountain Jianbi Qingye to withdraw to Shangdang City as soon as possible, and at the same time actively assisted the leader in the north to go south as much as possible.

But the mountain king, who was used to being the king in the mountains, would not care about Gao Shun's thousands of troops.Zhang Leigong and Li Damu publicly challenged Gao Shun, saying that they would teach Gao Shun how to behave, and they would make sure that these officers and soldiers would never come back.

Leigong Village and Damu Village have more than a dozen small and large villages, which manage tens of thousands of mountain people. The terrain is difficult, so they are full of confidence.

Gao Shun had a guide leading the way, and he was worried about whether the Black Mountain Army would go to the stronghold. Unexpectedly, Zhang Leigong and Li Damu were beating gongs and drums in front of them, and wanted to fight with him.

I was so sleepy that someone gave me a pillow. These two bandits are so cute and stupid.

It is said that Zhang Leigong is a loud voice, and his core camp is one large and two small, distributed in three-star formations. According to scout investigation, the large camp has nearly [-] young men, and the two small villages have [-] to [-] young men each.

Gao Shun decided to test his sword first. All three maps were hung up, and Gao Shun began to explain tactics.

"First it's easy and then it's difficult, encircle the point and get reinforcements. The front army pretended to attack Fengshen Village at Haishi, and the left and right armies set up ambushes on both sides of the Ding Valley. Tonight, Leigong Village will be defeated!"

Gao Shun was full of confidence, and the soldiers were sharpening their swords and full of fighting spirit.

At midnight in the evening, the former army held torches and sang songs, and set up a posture to besiege the smaller Fengshen Village.

The leader of Feng Shen Zhai had never seen such a posture before. He immediately mobilized the whole village and asked Zhang Lei Gong for help immediately.

Zhang Leigong scolded Gao Shun for only making sneak attacks at night, and was a complete coward, while he dispatched troops to rescue.

The two villages were not far apart, only three or four miles apart, so Zhang Leigong took a shortcut to Fengshen Village with 500 people.

Zhang Leigong was brave and foolhardy, and had long been part of Gao Shun's plan.

A total of one thousand soldiers from the left and right armies launched a surprise attack and defeated Zhang Leigong, leaving behind his helmet and armor.

As soon as Zhang Leigong saw that the situation was not good, he took hundreds of remaining soldiers and desperately retreated to the stronghold.

However, just as they arrived at the gate of the village, Gao Shun led the Chinese army to appear on the wall of Leigong Village.

Taking advantage of the lack of troops in the village, Gao Shun's special operations team quietly captured the gate of the village. Gao Shun's army took advantage of the situation and occupied the village.

"Hey, I'm Gao Shun. I heard that you want to teach me how to be a good person. I'm here. Tell me, how do you teach me?"

Zhang Leigong's eyes darkened and he almost fell over. It took him a long time to say with trembling lips: "Let's go to Yunwu Village!"

Gao Shun doesn't matter, Leigong Village is very high and its location is very critical, forming a strategic advantage over other villages.

Because it is a training exercise, wait until dawn and let each unit take turns attacking Fengshen Village, changing one group every hour.

By the afternoon, Fengshen Village couldn't hold it any longer, and with the fall of Leigong Village, Princess Zhang Lei lost her strength and could only surrender with a white flag.

At this time, Gao Shun calmly concentrated his troops, including Zhang Leigong's men, a total of 4000 people besieged Yunwu Village.

They took turns as usual, fighting from day to night, and they continued to attack fiercely.

Zhang Leigong's men couldn't bear it anymore, but Gao Shun's men had good food, drink and rest.

As a new recruit, after three months of training, he has mastered the basic skills to a certain extent. If he is injured, he will receive a military doctor, if he dies, he will receive a pension, and if he cuts off one or two heads, he will receive a reward.

Therefore, with a noble sense of mission to protect the country and the people, the group of recruits led by Gao Shun are like little tigers desperate for their lives.

Zhang Leigong looked at his men again. They were all like eggplants beaten by frost. They probably wouldn't be able to survive the sunrise tomorrow.

So, he wisely withdrew, and in the middle of the night, he quietly took his guards, money and food with him, slipped away from the back mountain, and fled to Damuzhai.

When the bandits in Yunwu Village discovered that Zhang Leigong and his soldiers were missing, and the situation was in chaos, many people guessed that this guy must have run away.

What's even more unethical is that they actually stole the food. What a slap in the face!
surrender!

As a result, Zhang Leigong's power almost disappeared.

On the nearby hilltop, Zhang Yan, who had been following the battle between the two sides, was also paying close attention to Gao Shun's every move.Especially the wheel tactics created by Gao Shun are simply incomprehensible.

He is worthy of being Lu Bu’s most powerful general! (End of chapter)
