Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 475
In the early morning of the next day, just as the sky was bright, several soldiers guarding the city gate stretched their waists and walked towards the gate they were guarding. After settling down, these soldiers did not finish what they were doing until very late last night.

However, when these soldiers easily pushed open the gate of Chang'an City, the scene in front of them completely stunned these soldiers. Outside Chang'an City, there was a dense mass of soldiers, all of whom were soldiers with sharp shawls. These soldiers stood there without saying a word, even the horses on which the knights were sitting stood quietly, without making the slightest sound.Tens of thousands of people shouted and charged, these soldiers had experienced it yesterday, but the soldiers standing quietly in front of them gave these soldiers an invisible pressure, and they felt cold sweat seeping from their backs.

"Enemy, enemy attack." A soldier shouted in a trembling voice, and then tried his best to close the city gate.

"Wait, it doesn't seem like an enemy." The generals of these people quickly stopped the soldiers' movements, because although the soldiers in front of them were serious and serious, they didn't look like they were going to attack, otherwise they wouldn't Will stand quietly like this, waiting for people like myself to open the city gate.

"Gao Shun, the prefect of Tianshui, was ordered to lead troops to rescue Chang'an. Please inform my general." At this moment, a school official came on horseback and said to these soldiers.It turned out that the soldiers outside the city were Gao Shun Cong Tianshui, who brought the soldiers and horses rushing to rescue Chang'an all the way. In order to rush to rescue Chang'an in time, Gao Shun had to bring the soldiers and horses to come non-stop, but even so, it was still a step late.Fortunately, when Gao Shun's soldiers and horses rushed to the foot of Chang'an City, the flag on the head of Chang'an City had not been replaced. Gao Shun was relieved, but Gao Shun was not easy to draw conclusions about the situation in the city. , can only place soldiers and horses outside the city, and wait for the situation to be clarified before making plans.

But Lu Bu was very happy when he heard that Gao Shun arrived with his troops. Originally, Lu Bu planned to transfer Gao Shun to Taihang Mountain. Now that Ma Teng died, he could send Gao Shun to Bingzhou. It would be another great thing to say, and when I heard that Gao Shun led the troops outside the city, I was naturally happy.

"Subordinate Gao Shun, see General Lu Bu." Seeing Lu Bu coming out of the city to greet him in person, Gao Shun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Originally, Gao Shun came to Chang'an to meet Lu Bu in person, which was in accordance with the etiquette, but Gao Shun came here at Xingye It was to help Chang'an. At this time, he was not sure about the situation in Chang'an city, so he would not enter the city rashly, so he asked the city to send Xun Yu or Cheng Lian to see him, and then he was willing to enter the city. out.

"Hahaha, we haven't seen each other for a few years. You are much stronger than before." Lu Bu stepped forward and grabbed Gao Shun's hand, then patted Gao Shun's shoulder and looked at the soldiers behind Gao Shun with approval: "This is the recruit you trained, not bad."

"In the past few years, I have nothing else to do, so I have mainly used my experience on military training. These 2 horses have been trained quite well, and this time I will bring them to the Lord for use." Gao Shun stretched out his hand. He pointed to the soldiers and horses standing neatly behind him.

"How many people like this do you have under your command?" Lu Bu looked admiringly at the soldiers still standing outside the city, and asked Gao Shun.

"Ah." Listening to Lu Bu's question, Gao Shun scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued: "In the past few years, although I have managed a lot of soldiers and horses, most of them have to be used for food storage. We can only choose the elite among them and train them, and only these 2 horses are considered elite."

"Hahaha, [-] soldiers and horses is already a lot. It just so happens that when I return to Chang'an this time, I intend to build an elite army. If you have [-] soldiers and horses, leave [-] for me." Shun was embarrassed, but Lu Bu just laughed. These years, Lu Bu has been fighting externally, and he has implemented a strategy of recuperation internally. As a result, the task of garrisoning food for local armies in various places is very heavy. Most of the military rations must rely on these garrisons. Food soldiers to supply.Therefore, it is really not easy for Gao Shun to train such [-] elite soldiers without delaying the storage of food.

"The [-] soldiers and horses should stay with the lord and contribute. The defense of Tianshui can be handled by relying on the grain soldiers." Gao Shun said indifferently.No matter how elite soldiers are left alone, it is better to let them go to places where there are battles. Only the battlefield should be the destination of elite soldiers.

"Don't worry, you've been tired of thinking about it in the past few years. I'm going to let you go to Bingzhou, which is the front line. You can use the soldiers you have trained with yourself," Lu Bu waved. He waved his hand and continued.If it hadn't been for the consideration that Chang'an had just received the [-] soldiers from Ma Teng's army, Lu Bu would not have wanted to poach Gao Shun's corner at this time. The current situation will play a big role, but Chang'an must be the capital, and Lu Bu can only consider the stability of Chang'an first, so he reluctantly keeps Gao Shun's [-] troops.

"Hahaha, my lord, you are finally willing to let me go out. I'm almost suffocating to death after staying in the back all these years." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Gao Shun suddenly laughed, and tears could be seen flickering in his eyes. Gao Shun has been staying in the rear all these years. Every time he hears about the battle situation ahead, Gao Shun is very excited. Just imagine a general who wants to conquer the world but can only stay behind to watch his house. What an injustice, but these years Gao Shun held back and never once complained in front of Lu Bu, because Gao Shun understood that this was Lu Bu's trust in him, and he was worried about handing over the land that Lu Bu had worked so hard to build into the hands of others , That's why Gao Shun was guarded.

"You have worked hard these years. With you guarding the rear for me, I can fight outside with peace of mind. Now that our army's territory has extended to Yanzhou, you should go out and show it." Facing Gao Shun, Lu Bu was also very capable. I understand Gao Shun's mood, think of myself as a general who is used to galloping on the battlefield, even if I am not allowed to charge forward, I feel a little too much, let alone let myself not only be unable to participate in the battle after a few years, but can only watch He set off with others.

"Master, when shall I leave?" Gao Shun asked impatiently.

"Tomorrow, I will let Ma Dai accompany you to Bingzhou tomorrow, and I will equip you with 3 troops." Bingzhou has a huge territory, and Ma Teng has brought out 15 soldiers and horses. Just asking Gao Shun to bring [-] soldiers and horses to go there is obviously a drop in the bucket, so Lu Bu decided to reorganize [-] soldiers and horses from Chang'an's grain storage and surrender troops and hand them over to Gao Shun. With the help of Guan Hai and Ma Dai who went to Taihang Mountain, there shouldn't be much problem if they want to win Bingzhou.

At the same time that Lu Bu returned to Chang'an to plan how to annex the prefecture, a fierce debate was going on in Yuan Shao's mansion in Yecheng, Jizhou.

"Hmph, I didn't expect Cao Aman to be so helpless, but in such a short period of time, not only did he lose his own Yanzhou, but even his plan to attack Sizhou failed. He is really incompetent." Yuan Shao sat on the main seat and said He patted the table and said.Although Cao Cao's failure did not cause any loss to Yuan Shao, it greatly changed the situation in the world. Now Lu Bu has the power of Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou and four continents, while Yuan Shao only has the power of Qingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. Partly, although Yuan Shao has repeatedly succeeded in the war against Gongsun Zan during this period, it will take some time to completely eliminate Gongsun Zan. At this time, Lu Bu's territory has surpassed Yuan Shao's, which made Yuan Shao really uneasy. Yuan Shao understood that as long as Lu Bu could not be defeated in a short period of time, then in time, Lu Bu would become Yuan Shao's most powerful enemy.

"Mr. Yuan, don't be upset. I heard that Ma Teng in Bingzhou has sent troops to Chang'an. I think that although Lu Bu defeated Cao Cao, Ma Teng's surprise attack was not so easy." Seeing Yuan Shao furious, Xu You stepped forward to persuade him road.

"Hmph, if Ma Teng had the ability, he wouldn't have been kicked out of Chang'an by Lu Bu back then. Lu Bu let Ma Teng be the governor of Bingzhou. Could it be that he was unprepared for Ma Teng?" Although Yuan Shao didn't understand why Lu Bu let Ma Teng leave back then. However, he felt that since Lu Bu dared to let Ma Teng go, he was not afraid of Ma Teng's retaliation, so there must be some means.

"My lord, now Lv Bu just fought with Cao Cao, and then Ma Teng sent troops to Chang'an. Why don't our army take advantage of this opportunity to attack Yanzhou, and we will definitely gain a lot." Guo Tu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he took a step forward Said to Yuan Shao.

"Attacking Yanzhou is not a good idea. Cao Cao once used Yanzhou as a bait to lure our army to attack Lu Bu. At this time, Cao Cao has already lost, and our army has lost the best time to attack Yanzhou. There is Chen Gong, Wu has Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, but they are not so easy to attack. In the opinion of the subordinates, it is better to send troops to Bingzhou, take advantage of Ma Teng's absence and Bingzhou's emptiness, first keep Hebei, and then Attacking Lu Bu in Hebei is the best strategy." Ju Shou was not optimistic about Guo Tu's opinion and said instead.

"I also think that Bingzhou should be attacked, and the foundation of Hebei should be stabilized first. Let's not say that Yanzhou has Chen Gong and others guarding it and it is not easy to attack, but if we capture Yanzhou, how big a blow will it be to Lu Bu? Lu Bu's foundation is It is in the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou. Even if we win Yanzhou, the blow to Lu Bu will not be big, but if Lu Bu defeats Ma Teng and wins Bingzhou, then Lu Bu can attack us Jizhou anytime and anywhere. Jizhou is our army On the contrary, if we take Bingzhou, we can attack Chang'an by detour, which is equivalent to holding Lu Bu's life gate, so I also think that we should attack Bingzhou first." Seeing that Jushou and Guo Tu disagreed , Tian Feng stood up and said.
