The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 130 Who wants us to be poor
The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army have not received new weapons and armor for many years.

Since the crusade against Tao Qian that year, the Qingzhou army has never been on the battlefield, nor has it fought with anyone.

They have long since given up hope of building meritorious service.

The appearance of Lu Bu gave the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army hope.

At dawn, in the barracks, the soldiers formed a neat array.

Accompanied by Xun You and others, Lu Bu came to the barracks.

Riding his horse and walking around in front of the soldiers, Lu Bu stopped in front of the formation: "Do you know what we are going to do today?"

His voice was not loud, but the school grounds were extremely quiet.

The slightly deep voice echoed in the school field, and every soldier subconsciously straightened his chest.

Lu Bu asked them if they knew what to do, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Follow Marquis Wen and attack Huainan!"

"Yes!" Lu Bu nodded: "We are going to attack Huainan and break Shouchun, but don't forget, I will take away all the good things and snatch all the good women. What are we doing in Huainan? Just to rob of!"

He added a sentence later: "Who wants us to be poor?"

The soldiers burst into laughter, while Xun You remained expressionless and indifferent.

The faces of Xu Huang and Li Dian were terribly gloomy.

Lu Bu encouraged his soldiers to plunder, but he still used poverty as an excuse. Xun You and others had long been full of black lines.

No one has ever been able to speak of looting in a high-sounding and justifiable way.

The terrible thing is that after he finished these words, the emotions of the soldiers were raised to a new height.

A few simple words aroused the emotions of the soldiers. Lu Bu knew that it was useless to say more, so he waved his hands: "Let's go!"

A small number of soldiers were left to guard, and the whole army drove out of Zhongli.

Zhao Yun led three thousand soldiers and horses to open the way first.

From Zhongli to Shouchun, it is only two or three hundred miles.

Starting early in the morning, towards evening, Zhao Yun came to a place not more than fifty or sixty miles away from Shouchun.

According to the division of administrative regions, this place belongs to Shouchun.

Just as he was about to order to station, a fast horse galloped towards Zhao Yun.

It was the scouts he had sent out earlier that galloped the horses.

When they came in front of Zhao Yun, the scouts reported: "General Qi, Chen Dao led [-] Huainan troops, and they are coming here."

The sun had dipped below the horizon and the sky had turned gray.

It was about to get dark, but the army led by Chen Dao was already close at hand.

"How far are they from here?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Only six or seven miles." The scout replied.

The enemy army had arrived very close, Zhao Yun knew that if he camped at this time, Chen Dao would probably surprise him.

He immediately ordered: "Send the order down, don't set up camp, rest on the spot and wait for the enemy!"

Zhao Yun led the army to rest on the spot, and Chen Dao also got the news from the scouts that he had come nearby.

Chen Dao came to the door and recommended himself. Although he had seen his abilities, Zhang Xun was still worried about him and decided to accompany the army himself.

The scouts who signaled their return withdrew, and Zhang Xun asked Chen Dao, "What is General Chen's plan?"

"General Zhang thinks what should I do?" Chen Dao asked back.

"It's getting late, and the enemy must be exhausted after traveling all day." Zhang Xun said, "I think General Chen should take advantage of the darkness to lead his army to make a surprise attack in order to defeat the enemy with one blow."

"We have a surprise attack plan. Don't tell me the enemy has no plan to deal with it?" Chen Dao shook his head: "I think it's better to wait until dawn to fight against the enemy."

"The ones coming ahead are just enemy scouts. If we don't take advantage of their unsteady footing and attack them, we won't have the slightest chance of winning when Lu Bu leads his army." Zhang Xun stubbornly insisted on his opinion.

After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the entire Huainan Army.

He only voted for Shouchun, and Chen Dao is not easy to argue.

"I will lead 3000 troops to make a surprise attack, and General Zhang will lead the army to follow." Chen Dao said, "Once the two armies meet, please lead the army forward immediately, and there may be a chance of victory."

He just said maybe, but he didn't say enough.

Zhang Xun was very dissatisfied with his reply, but he didn't know how to respond.

"Congratulations to General Chen for his success!" Having nothing to say, Zhang Xun could only congratulate him.

Click on three thousand soldiers and horses, and Chen Dao leads the army to leave.

Watching his back, Zhang Xun clenched his fists.

Having seen Chen Dao's abilities and Zhao Yun's bravery, he only hoped that Chen Dao would not disappoint Yang Hong and him.

The Yuan family in Huainan had nowhere to go.

If Zhao Yun is defeated, he can join Lu Bu as long as he successfully breaks through.

If Chen Dao loses, Shouchun will never have another chance.

Watching Chen Dao walk away, Zhang Xun ordered: "Send the order, keep going!"

Chen Dao led [-] soldiers to leave the army, and soon some scouts passed the news to Zhao Yun.

The soldiers had already rested for half an hour.

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the whole army to march against Chen Dao.

The two teams with only a few thousand men marched towards each other. Behind Chen Dao was the main force of the Huainan Army led by Zhang Xun, and behind Zhao Yun, the soldiers led by Lu Bu were still unknown.

Zhao Yun didn't get any news about Lu Bu on the road, but Lu Bu was always paying attention to him.

Only more than ten miles away from the vanguard led by Zhao Yun, Lu Bu led the army to march at a relatively slow speed.

The scouts who explored the road came to him: "Report to Marquis Wen, Chen Dao led 3000 people in an attempt to raid General Zhao, Zhang Xun followed behind, and General Zhao has led the army to meet him."

Lu Bu signaled the scouts to retreat, and Zhang Liao came forward: "Marquis Wen, General Zhao has only brought 5000 troops. If Chen Dao stops him, Zhang Xun will catch up, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"So we have to hurry up." Lu Bu ordered the small school next to him: "Send an order, tell the soldiers to hurry up, there will be a big battle tonight, and the opportunity to make contributions has come!"

Most of the officers and soldiers in the army are from the Qingzhou Army, and only a small number are from Lu Bu's old troops who have experienced the Battle of Xiapi.

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army have been aggrieved for many years.

At one time, they no longer had any expectations for the future, but Lu Bu suddenly came in front of them.

I haven't seen new weapons and armor for several years, and I haven't even received half of the military rations from the Cao family. When I came to Xuzhou, not only did I have new equipment, but the food I ate was also specially sent by Cao Cao from Xudu.

Lu Bu said that following him can make great achievements, and the soldiers certainly believed it.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, officials were promoted, although they were still mainly from the gentry, and many capable people in the field could make a difference when they met the Ming Lord.

For lieutenant generals, the best way to get ahead is to make more military exploits.

After accumulating a certain amount of military exploits, they will have the opportunity to become a junior high school in the military.

Once you join the ranks of small schools, not only can you feel proud in front of your comrades in the army, but also the pressure of supporting your family will be much less.

With the longing of making military exploits, the soldiers took steps to speed up the march.

Lu Bu walked at the front of the team holding Fang Tian's painted halberd. He knew very well that a big battle was brewing ahead!
