After Chen Chu decided not to transfer troops from Guanzhong for the time being, he immediately sent Feige letters to Jia Xu and Lu Bu who were in Guanzhong.no ads

That night, Lu Bu and others who were in Meiwu received Chen Chu's order.

"Mr. Wenhe, my lord's order has come down. My lord wants us to solve the Guanzhong issue with all our strength and ignore Bingzhou." Lu Bu said excitedly, following Chen Chu's order.Lu Bu didn't want to withdraw his troops from Guanzhong at all, because entering Guanzhong was the first battle he led alone, and he hoped to make meritorious service so that the generals would impress them and stop saying that he was only brave.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "My lord is the master of talents, and I will never mess up my position because of temporary difficulties!"

Lu Bu nodded, and then hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wenhe, do you think we should immediately attack Tianshui from Fufeng?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Yes, but Fengxian only needs to station a large army outside Tianshui City, and don't attack the city!"

Lu Bu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "What's the reason? Wouldn't it be better for me to lead the army to attack Tianshui in one go?"

Dong Zhuo's army in Tianshui exceeds 10, and the army that conquers the North will never have more than [-] troops to attack the city.It is almost impossible to capture a strong city with a one-to-one force.

Jia Xu didn't say it directly, but smiled and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian is brave, so it is not difficult to defeat Dong Zhuojun in Tianshui."

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly smiled.

Jia Xu went on to say: "However, our army will inevitably suffer many casualties in the process of storming Tianshui. The current strength of our army is very precious, so we can't waste it like this! Our army will march eastward in the future. Will Bingzhou be able to The victory may depend on us! If we can go out of Hangu Pass and defeat Yuan Shao, then the general will be the number one general under the lord's command!"

Lu Bu's eyes could not help but brighten up. The prospect Jia Xu showed him was so bright. It was his dream to become the number one general in the Beibei Army.

But Lu Bu thought of another question, so he frowned and asked, "But if I don't lead the army to attack the city, how can I win Tianshui and flatten Dong Zhuo's army?"

Jia Xu smiled inscrutably, and said, "Feng Xian doesn't have to worry about this matter! Feng Xian just needs to act according to my plan, and he will be able to win Tianshui smoothly!"

Lu Bu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's good! Everything depends on the master's strategy!"

Early the next morning, Lu Bu left Meiwu for Fufeng.Jia Xu also went to Fufeng with Lv Bu, it would be impossible if he didn't follow Lv Bu, if Lv Bu led the army alone, mistakes would inevitably occur.The matter of Meiwu was handed over to a trusted lieutenant general.

Fufeng City is the county town of Fufeng County, also called Huaili, [-] miles northwest of Meiwu, and is the last barrier to enter Chang'an from the west.The main force of the Bingzhou Legion of the Northern Army is stationed in Fufeng City.

The Bingzhou Legion here was originally led by Zhang Jai, but when Chen Chu heard the news of Jia Xu's return, he made some adjustments to the deployment in Guanzhong, and transferred the wise and brave Zhang Jai to Chang'an to be in charge of Chang'an and Hangu. At the same time, Lu Bu, who was originally stationed in Chang'an, was transferred to Fufeng, assisted by Jia Xu, and was responsible for the strategy against Dong Zhuo's army.

Lu Bu and Jia Xu assembled an army of [-] at Fufeng, and then drove straight to Tianshui.

The Northern Expedition Army, which had not been moved for many days, finally launched, and this situation was quickly reported to Dong Zhuo's army and the Xiliang Army.Immediately, it aroused strong repercussions among Dong Zhuo's army and Xiliang's army. Some were excited, some were frightened and flustered, some were at a loss, and some were secretly thinking about it.

After Dong Zhuo heard the news, he became extremely tyrannical.It is said that Dong Zhuo frantically abused beauties on the day he got the news, and three beauties were played to death by Dong Zhuo.Not only that, that night Dong Zhuo blatantly broke into the palace where the royal family lived, and recklessly extended his claws to the concubines in the harem. The screams of the concubines in the harem that night made people shudder.

The morale of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers was greatly reduced after learning the news that the Beibei Army was marching to Tianshui.

become more depressed.Fighting, gambling, robbery, desertion, almost everything.Tianshui City was almost completely in chaos. [

Some of Dong Zhuojun's counselors were surreptitious, and they could not be seen all day long, so they didn't know what they were doing.

The advance of the Zhengbei Army made Li Ru, the military commander of Dong Zhuojun, both surprised and anxious. What surprised him was that the Zhengbei Army did not withdraw its troops back to Bingzhou as he expected, but launched an offensive against itself again; what was urgent was how to deal with the current crisis. Although Li Ru was very anxious, he had no good way to solve the current problem. He could only pin his hopes on Han Sui. If Han Sui could attack Ma Teng as agreed, Dong Zhuojun might still have a chance. After hearing the news of the Northern Army's advance, he set off for Didao County, where the Xiliang Army was stationed.

Contrary to Dong Zhuojun's panic and uneasiness, the morale of the Xiliang Army was greatly boosted after receiving the news that the Northern Conscript Army had finally marched, and Ma Teng immediately decided to attack Longxi with the whole army immediately.

Just the night before the Xiliang army was about to set off, Li Ru came to Han Sui's big tent.

"Master Li, don't be ill!" Han Sui greeted with a smile on his face.

Li Ru didn't show any politeness to Han Sui, and asked straight to the point when he came, "General Han, does it count if you don't know what you promised?"

Han Sui put on a straight face and said, "Master Li, what do you mean by that? I, Han Sui, have always kept my word and never broke my promise!"

Li Ru cupped his fists towards Han Sui and apologized: "I have made a slip of the tongue, General Han, please forgive me and let each other go!"

Han Sui waved his hands angrily and said, "No problem! I understand Mr. Li is anxious!"

Li Ru frowned, because Han Sui's words seemed to reveal a message, that is, Han Sui seemed to have known the news of the North Army's march.

'This Han Sui's news is so well-informed!Unexpectedly, I was too late to catch up! ', Li Ru couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Then he thought again: What should I do now?Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for Han Sui to send troops as promised!

After thinking for a while, Li Ru said to Han Sui: "I know that General Han has already heard the news that the Beibei Army has entered Tianshui. I don't want to say anything more, I just want to ask General Han two questions."

Han Sui couldn't help showing a curious look, and asked, "Master Li, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them?"

Li Ru cupped his fists at Han Sui, and asked with a serious face: "General Han thinks that the North Army and the 20 troops of the Xiliang Army can capture Tianshui, which is guarded by [-] elite soldiers, in a short period of time?"

Han Sui was stunned for a moment, and then his face revealed a thoughtful look. After a while, he shook his head in resignation and replied: "If you attack the strong city with a force of two to one, it may be difficult to capture it in a short time!"

Li Ru smiled slightly, and then continued to ask: "Let me ask General Han again, Yuan Shao's army plus Cao Cao's army totaled 70 troops, and they attacked the two passes guarded by tens of thousands of people. What is the result?"

Han Sui couldn't help being shocked.When it was not mentioned, he didn't feel how dangerous the situation in Bingzhou was. Now that Li Ru said so, he felt that the situation of the Zhengbei Army in Bingzhou was really worrying.

Han Sui didn't speak, but frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this situation, Li Ru couldn't help flashing a hint of excitement in his eyes, because he knew that Han Sui was already a little tempted.So Li Ru hit the rails while it was hot: "Although the Zhengbei Army can fight, there is no chance of winning with hundreds of thousands of horses against a 70 army! The general must not put the army in a place of eternal doom just because of immediate interests!"

Han Sui's brows frowned even tighter, and he said after a while: "I understand what you said, sir. I will do something to Ma Teng according to our agreement."

Li Ru couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, "That's great! I just wonder when the general plans to do it?"

After thinking for a while, Han Sui said: "This matter cannot be rushed, it must be prepared before it can be done. You should know that Ma Teng has more people than me, and Ma Teng's son Ma Chao is extremely brave! If Don't touch Ma Teng without removing it first!"[

Han Sui's words were very reasonable, and Li Ru couldn't push too much, so he had to agree with Han Sui's decision.

The two talked again

After about half an hour, one of Han Sui's personal soldiers took Li Ru down to rest.This time, Li Ru did not return immediately. He planned to stay in Han Sui's barracks and urged Han Sui to act as soon as possible.

"General, do you really decide to cooperate with Dong Zhuojun?" After Li Ru left, Han Sui's confidant lieutenant general asked quite uneasy.

Han Sui didn't answer, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

"General, what Li Ru said may be reasonable, but if Chen Chu is not sure, how could he still order his army in Guanzhong to continue attacking Dong Zhuojun at this time?"

Han Sui's heart moved, he frowned and said, "You mean we should cooperate with the North Army?"

The lieutenant quickly replied: "This subordinate does not dare to make rash judgments, but just speaks out the doubts in his heart. No matter what the general decides, his subordinates will follow!"

Hearing this, Han Sui couldn't help feeling relieved.

At this moment, a personal guard rushed to report: "General, envoys from the Northern Army are asking to see you!"

Han Sui and the deputy general couldn't help being taken aback, Han Sui was stunned for a long time before he said anxiously: "Quick! Please!"! ~!
