The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 549 The Battle Is Coming
"It's all my own idea. Mr. Xu Liao praised it. This is just my personal opinion. It's nothing great." Although Lu Xun was praised by Xu Shu, he was still very humble. His words proved his talent , also convinced Xu Shu and Gan Ning.

Gan Ning held up the Tiger Talisman with both hands and handed it to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, this is the Tiger Talisman of Jingzhou Military Power, I will hand it over to you now, as long as you win the Jingzhou Military Power, it will be under your control."

"Thank you, General Gan, for granting the seal!" Lu Xun did not refuse. With a solemn face, he took the tiger amulet with both hands. In his heart, he took not only the tiger amulet, but also Li Yuan's trust in him. He knew that he had not made any contribution. But he was still reused by Li Yuan, and even Gan Ning had to obey his orders, so he attached great importance to this expedition. If he lost to Zhuge Liang, he would not only lose his army and make Li Yuan lose face, but more importantly, he would lose the opportunity to turn the tide of the battle. , so he must win this battle.

The next day, Lu Xun came to the school grounds to enlist soldiers. Looking at the 7-strong army, even though he was a rookie, he still looked calm, not at all like being a general for the first time. Just this confidence and composure far surpassed his peers.

Gan Ning, who was standing at the top of the list, couldn't help sighing that Li Yuan was a good judge of people. At first he was just a water thief and was disliked by Liu Biao, but Li Yuan still valued his talent and reused him. He controls the navy, looking at Lu Xun now is like seeing his young self. Of course, Lu Xun's status is far more noble than his, but it doesn't hinder Gan Ning's appreciation of Lu Xun.

"The time has come, now start to call the generals." Lu Xun looked at the generals below and began to roll their names. Before each expedition, the generals will be called. Generally, the oldest commander-in-chief of the three armies is in charge of the generals, and one after another at a young age Although both Gan Ning and Xu Shu are convinced by this position, the others are more or less dissatisfied, after all, Lianxi is really too young.

"Gan Ning." The first ones to call Gan Ning's name one after another, basically starting from the high official position.

"The last general is here!" Gan Ning said loudly, standing up and clasping his fists.They nodded slightly to Gan Ning one after another, and then moved on to the next one: "Li Tong."

"The last general is here!" Li Tong came out and said, Li Tong also started from a small soldier and slowly reached his current position. He was a deputy general next to Zhao Yun at the beginning, and he was qualified to lead the army alone after following for several years. It is much more difficult to reach the sky one step at a time. Although he is dissatisfied with Lu Xun in his heart, he does not dare to make mistakes. After all, Li Yuan's military orders are extremely strict. Even if Li Yuan is not here now, he does not dare to confront Lu Xun in front of everyone.

"Is Gao Shun here?" Lu Xun clicked on Gao Shun's name.Gao Shun immediately stepped forward and said, "The end is here!"

Lu Xun looked at Gao Shun with interest and said, "General Gao, I heard that the camp under your command is a powerful army in the world. The number is only [-], but the combat power can surpass tens of thousands. Is this true?"

"General Lu Liao praises it. Thanks to the heavy armor that the lord built for me, I have the opportunity to form the camp. This is not due to me alone." Gao Shun knew that the camp was very powerful, but he never boasted in front of others.

"You don't need to be humble. Since the lord helps you form the trap camp, you believe in your ability. This attack on your trap camp in Hanzhong is very useful. Whether you can capture Hanzhong depends on you." Lu Xun once heard When Li Yuan and Sun Ce confronted each other, they relied on Gao Shun's trapped camp to break through the city easily. Otherwise, it would take a long time to fight. Now Gao Shun happened to be in Wuling and belonged to the Jingzhou army, so the other side could use this powerful army.

"General Lu's supervisor ordered me, Gao Shun, to go through fire and water." Seeing Lu Xun attaching so much importance to trapping the camp, Gao Shun was also a little excited.

After ordering Gao Shun, Lu Xun continued to order generals. There were four main generals, namely Gan Ning, Li Tong, Gao Shun and Yu Jin.

"Now that the war is approaching, my lord is about to fight Cao Cao. He ordered me to lead Jingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong, so this expedition to Hanzhong is the most important task. I hope you can help me capture Hanzhong with all your strength, and don't insult the soldiers of Jingzhou. The name of the army, the three armies listen to the order and go!" Lu Xun gave an order, the horn sounded, and more than 7 troops began to set off for Hanzhong.

Two months later, Li Yuan had arrived in Qiao County, and Xi Zhicai was with him. Li Yuan would take Xi Zhicai with him every time he went to war. Zhou Yu went to Xiaopei, and Li Yuan asked Zhou Yu to guard Xiaopei. Mobilize Tai Shici, Wei Yan and Wenpin and other generals to him to use, plus Zhou Tai and Chen Wu, Jiangdong generals, I believe it is enough to defend Xiaopei.

"Report to my lord, Tanma has found Cao Cao's soldiers and horses ten miles away. Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are extremely numerous. The estimated number of soldiers is no less than 10. It will take less than two hours to reach Xiapi," a soldier reported to Li Yuanhui.

After Li Yuan heard the news, he immediately went to the city wall to watch, and the rest of the generals went with him. Although the distance was very far, Li Yuan could still feel the momentum of thousands of troops on the city wall.

"Where is Junior Brother?" Li Yuan shouted.

"The end is here!" Zhao Yun responded.

Li Yuan ordered: "Go out of the city immediately and lead the flying cavalry army to set up camp five miles away from Xiaopei, and form a corner with Xiaopei. Once Cao Cao attacks the city, harass him immediately. Remember that you only need to contain them, and you don't have to fight with them." Head to head."

"Yes!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists.

"Wait a minute," Li Yuan grabbed Zhao Yun, "Junior Brother, it is very dangerous for you to be stationed outside the city this time, but this is a last resort. Cao Cao must have a lot of cavalry under his command, so don't confront them head-on. Once you are entangled by his cavalry, you will not be able to go."

"Thank you brother for your concern, I understand." Zhao Yun said gratefully, he and Li Yuan have a deep relationship, there are some things that need not be said, a look is enough.Zhao Yun took Lu Lingqi out of the city to set up camp, mainly responsible for harassing Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could not concentrate on attacking the city.

"Don't worry, my lord. General Zhao is cautious, and nothing will happen." Xi Zhicai could see Li Yuan's worry. Li Yuan had never had such emotions before, but facing Cao Cao's [-] troops, even if he had experienced it for a long time. He was also a little nervous in battle.

"Zhicai, you said that I would lead the army to a showdown with Cao Cao outside the city, would it be better?" Li Yuan suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

Xi Zhicai was taken aback by Li Yuan's thought, and quickly persuaded him, "No way, it has always been easier to defend a city than to attack it. Cao Cao's army strength is more than [-], but our current strength is also [-]. As long as we defend properly, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to break through the city, and since he will go on campaigns in a short period of time, food and grass must be in short supply, as long as we delay for a while, he will definitely retreat, and then we will be able to turn defeat into victory."
