Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 1027 The general trend of the world
In December of the 15th year of Jian'an (210 A.D.), all the soldiers from a hundred countries in Jingzhou had retreated. However, no one thought that in this cold winter, the retreated soldiers from a hundred countries would suddenly appear on the grassland outside Yanmen Pass and surprise the Mongolian tribes in the grassland.

In a hasty surprise attack, the cattle, sheep and horses of the Mongolian tribes who were caught off guard were looted for ten days. When Genghis Khan of Mongolia reacted, there were only broken tribes covered by wind and snow on the grassland.

Soldiers from a hundred nations had received some compensation when they mobilized their troops to return home. However, the situation on the grassland was changing. In the originally calm winter, the grassland was filled with a depressive atmosphere.

In February of the 16th year of Jian'an (AD 211), the cold wind was still blowing, but the armies of Zhangling and Xinye began to prepare and set out for Xiangyang.

Standing majestically on the ground, stretching as far as the eye can see, the red cloak swaying in the cold wind, Lu Bu stared at the reflective Xiangyang City in the distance through the arrow tower of the camp.

"Your Majesty, the weather will warm up in half a month, and the Xiangyang Ice Wall is nothing to worry about."

The accompanying generals looked at their king staring at Xiangyang City, thinking that their king was worried about the city of Xiangyang, but Lu Bu shook his head after hearing this.

"Is there any movement on the grassland?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Turks, the Manchus and the Qing have joined forces with dozens of small countries. I am afraid that Mongolia will not be better off after the warm flowers bloom in the village."

Lu Bu's brows slowly loosened, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Hehe~ A pack of wolves are around, but Mongolia is not a wolf, but a fierce tiger."

"Tigers may not be scary, but injured tigers are the most terrifying."

"Order the guards all over the frontier to keep an eye on the movement of the grassland, and ignore it if there is a war in the grassland."

promise!
There has been a gap between a hundred countries, the grassland has experienced several years of war, and Mongolia has become a thorn in the eyes of the Turks and the Manchus. The threat of the Han border will not exist in a few years.

In the cold wind, the soldiers of Lu Jun in the big camp were inspectors with high morale, and Lu Bu on the towering watchtower could see it clearly, and could not help but secretly nodded.

After three months of recuperation, the morale of the three armies has returned to its peak.

"My lord, all of our army's supplies have arrived at Zhangling and Xinye."

The three-month truce has not been idle. Various materials have already been dispatched, and the cities of Xinye and Zhangling have been reinforced as the rear bases of the army.

Through the reflection of sunlight, the ice layer on the city wall of Xiangyang is even more dazzling.

Slowly raising his head and pointing at Xiangyang City, Lu Bu slowly stretched his waist, and the laziness on his body immediately faded away, revealing a sharp spirit.

"Although the ice wall is there! But it still can't dampen Gu's fighting spirit."

"The three armies were ordered to dig the sand, and the cavalry filled up the ice wall for Gu Gu day and night."

promise!
Flicking the cloak behind him, Lu Bu strode down towards the arrow tower, his firm and domineering voice echoed around, and all the soldiers in the camp showed fanatic expressions after hearing it.

"Gu wants to see Xiangyang's ice wall covered with sand and soil before the beginning of spring, and the soldiers of the three armies under Gu's command can rush to the top of the city in one go."

promise!
In response to Qi Qi's roar behind him, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth as he walked down the archery tower.

Rely on the strong city to defend!If you want to let Xiangyang's geographical advantages disappear, you will have to force the Ru Jingzhou army to fight.

Xiangyang City!
"Lü Bu personally led the army to approach the city, and the dust in Lu's camp is flying!"

Inside the city tower, Zhuge Liang was gently swinging his feather fan, with a relaxed and confident smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the seriousness in his eyes.

Liu Bowen slowly cupped his hands and said softly: "It seems that Lu Bu wants to repeat his old tricks, and use iron cavalry, catapults and other sharp weapons to fill up the advantage of our army's city wall."

The two kept guessing about Lu Jun's layout, while Liu Bei and Liu Bian looked at the terrain on the sand table solemnly.

"My lord, Lu Bu is using this to force our army to fight."

"I'm afraid there are hidden secrets under the dust."

The two seemed to be fighting wits and courage, and Liu Bowen pointed to the distance between Lu Jun's camp and Xiangyang City on the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "The dust is flying, is it a cover-up, or is it bright and dark?"

"The military advisor said that while Lu Buming was filling up the city walls, he was secretly digging tunnels!"

Zhuge Liang also nodded, and said softly: "I have to guard against it."

bang~
Liu Bei slammed it on the sand table with an ugly face, and when he raised his head to look at the three of them, there was a look of determination in his eyes.

"According to the strength of the city wall and the cover of the rain of arrows, it may not be impossible to fight with Lu Jun outside the city!"

When he said this, Liu Bei pointed at the sand table indifferently, "Lu Bu only relies on cavalry. The cavalry under the fortified city is not very effective. Fighting on foot with the king of Wu and the soldiers under his command may not be inferior to the Lu army."

Liu Bian frowned slightly when he heard that, "The battlefield in Jingzhou has been dragging on for half a year. Although there is sufficient food and grass, if the two armies fight for another three to five years, Lu Bu will rule a vast land and abundant resources!"

In a word, their food and grass can't afford it, but Lu Bu can drag them to death by relying on a large number of chassis and a large population.

After Liu Bowen and Zhuge Ming glanced at each other, they nodded. It's true that now they can only fight for consumption, until Lu Bu has to retreat.

As for the counterattack!There was a haze in the eyes of the two of them. Lv Bu relied on the advantage of the cavalry, Xin Ye and Zhang Ling had already blocked the way out of Jingzhou, and it was almost impossible to counterattack.

And more importantly, Hanzhong and Lujiang still have a large army of Lu Bu, the longer the time drags on, the more unstable the hearts of the people under the rule will be.

"King of Han, I heard that the southern barbarians in the army are making trouble frequently!"

At this moment, Liu Bian had a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he glanced at Liu Bei without a trace and said.

Liu Bei's face sank after hearing this, and he looked at the other party with some ugly eyes, while Zhuge Liang, who was a military adviser, smiled easily.

"King Wu, don't worry!"

"Don't worry! Hmph! I don't want to make another mistake. The last Ma Digu has never been forgotten!"

In the face of Liu Bian's cynicism, even though they were allied, they had a better chance of winning the battle outside Xiangyang last year, but they didn't want to bear the consequences because of Ma Di alone.

And more importantly, what Ma Su did last year caused a lot of complaints from the Nanman army. The Nanman army was not of one mind with them.

Liu Bei, who knew he was wrong, snorted, and he didn't want to mention this matter again.

Liu Bian strode away with a sneer, and Liu Bowen smiled wryly, his king could make such a face but he couldn't, so he could only bow his hands in apologetic gesture to leave.

touch~
When the two left, Liu Bei couldn't help but smashed the sand table hard, and looked at Zhuge Liang with dissatisfaction and indifference in his eyes.

"Military Master, I don't want to see the matter of Ma Su again."

promise!
The matter of Ma Di is now a thorn in Zhuge Liang's heart, and he is even more guilty about this matter.

After all, Ma Di was single-handedly promoted by him, and he was one of his most promising rookies, but he never expected such a big mess to happen.

The helpless Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, rubbing his forehead wearily, Ma Di, Ma Di, the mess you left behind is not small.
