Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 1076 Hidden dangers and opportunities

In the blink of an eye, it was September, and under the scorching weather, weak groans could be heard in the camps on both sides of Yiling.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers in the camp have been dissatisfied with the weather and soil recently, and more than [-] soldiers have been sent back to the rear to recuperate."

"The Jingzhou coalition forces are defending the camp to the death, and our soldiers cannot attack by force."

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing the signs of dissatisfaction among the lieutenant officers and soldiers, Lu Bu felt impatience in his heart, but after seeing Guo Jia's report, he asked impatiently, "What's the matter with filial piety?"

The hot weather added a little restlessness to people, Guo Jia smiled helplessly, handed over a letter with both hands and said softly: "Jiangdong Liu Bian and Shuzhong Liu Bei sent a truce letter!"

After Dian Wei personally took over the letter and handed it over respectfully, Lu Bu's agitated heart gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help laughing: "Even if Gu is willing to truce at this time, the million lions under Gu's command are not willing to truce!"

Although Lu Bu had an amused look on his face, his eyes flickered without any trace. Jia Xu, who was standing on the left side, came out slowly and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My minister must congratulate the king first."

"The two thief kings Liu Bei and Liu Bian asked the king to cease fighting because of the lack of food and grass or the lack of fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command."

As soon as Jia Xu opened his mouth, all the civil and military generals from left and right came out and shouted: "My lord, the Jingzhou coalition forces are exhausted, and the last generals call for battle!"

"Your Majesty, the last will fight!"

All the generals started shouting and calling for battle one by one, especially when the Jingzhou army was short of food and grass or the morale of the army was slackened, the voices were so loud that the soldiers outside the camp could hear it clearly.

Lu Bu nodded with a smile on his face, and the generals went without saying that what they said was actually for the soldiers outside the tent.

The year-long struggle, coupled with the impact of the sweltering weather and the unacceptable climate in recent days, has weakened the morale of the armed forces.

But as long as the news that the Jingzhou coalition forces requested a truce came out in the army, no matter how much you thought about it, you knew that the Jingzhou coalition forces could no longer hold on.

Seeing the generals inviting to fight, Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, waved his hands slowly and said with a smile, "Feng Xiao, send a message to Liu Bian and Liu Bei to lead the three armies out of Jingzhou and agree to cease fighting."

promise!
After all the generals retreated and there were only a dozen confidant civil and military ministers left in the tent, the smile on Lu Bu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a dignified expression.

Guo Jia, who was still relaxed just now, also showed a dignified look, "My lord, I don't know how many soldiers and soldiers in the army have become ill recently due to disaccustomed to the climate, and they must not be underestimated."

"That's right, Your Majesty, although we have suppressed it and transported the sick soldiers to the rear, if this matter is not controlled, it may cause panic among the three armies."

Lu Bu, who was invincible on the battlefield, couldn't help but frowned deeply at this time. He was never worried about any situation on the battlefield, but he felt powerless when facing the sickness of the unaccustomed patients.

"I've dispatched hundreds of doctors from Luoyang to this matter, but they still can't stop it."

All the people standing on the left and right of the commander's account in this matter are famous generals in the world or people with resourcefulness in the world, but they have nowhere to do anything about this disobedience.

The frowning Lu Bu was even more helpless. During the Battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao also encountered such a thing when he stationed troops in the Chibi area of ​​Jingzhou.

Jia Xu, who stroked his short beard on his chin, frowned and pondered for a moment, cupped his hands and said softly, "Your Majesty, the bitter taste of the herbs in the camp may not be hidden before the Jingzhou coalition forces will find out."

The military commanders were all in trouble. In fact, they had already discovered this situation in Xiangyang, and it was precisely because of this that the army delayed for a long time before reaching Yiling.

Otherwise, how could their king easily give up the good situation of beating the dog in the water.

Encountering this kind of thing, we can only cultivate ourselves, and wait for the soldiers of the three armies to adapt to the local environment, water and soil before deciding to go to war.

Seeing the helpless expressions of the generals, Lu Bu suddenly chuckled and said, "Hehe~ Don't worry too much, the Lone Army is worried about the disobedience, but the food, grass and morale of the Jingzhou coalition army are even more important."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

As if he had already thought of something, Guo Jia couldn't help asking curiously, and Lu Bu showed a strange smile after seeing this.

"Everyone in the world knows that there are many cavalry in the lone army. Isn't it because the Jingzhou coalition army is retreating and dare not go out to fight because they are afraid of the benefits of the cavalry?"

"The Jingzhou Allied Forces can't hold out, and the cavalry under the command just happens to be idle."

If the generals couldn't understand after hearing this, then they wouldn't be sitting in this position.

All of them showed excited expressions, and Lu Bu even said softly: "Secretly dispatch [-] cavalry in the army, travel around and try to find the places where the Jingzhou coalition forces are hoarding grain and grass, and the grain roads must not be missed."

promise!
After issuing the military order, Lu Bu slowly took out a letter from the commander's desk, with a strange smile on his face.

"The way to open the situation has appeared before Gu's eyes, everyone, take a look."

After the letters were spread, everyone showed shock and excitement, and Yang Lin even let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha~ Your Majesty is the Lord of Destiny. In this way, we only need to hold back the Jingzhou Allied Forces. Within a month or so, there will be chaos in Sichuan, and the Jingzhou Allied Forces will be destroyed without attack."

haha~
Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other with joy after reading the letter.

"Your Majesty, in this way, the Shu army will no longer be a concern. By then, only the bandits from Jiangdong will be left."

Just after Zhang Liao's voice fell from among the generals, Zhou Yu came out with a smile on his face and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, once the Shu army collapses without a fight, all it takes is one partial division to stop the Jiangdong army. Baidi City is going to attack Western Shu."

"Under the front and back attacks, the land of the Shu Han is at your fingertips."

Guo Jia nodded his head after hearing this and said in praise: "That's right, once the land of Shu falls, even if Jiangdong Liu Bian has the power to reach the sky, he can only watch helplessly as the king dominates the world."

Civil and military confidants all showed joyful smiles, but Lu Bu who watched this scene shook his head gently.

"The orphan in Shuzhong wants it, but the one in Jiangdong wants it too!"

When he said this, Lu Bu stared straight at the civil and military generals, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Lin and Gao Shun, and then said in a deep voice: "Yang Linru secretly selected the elite in the army, and if something happened in Shu, he would directly lead the army from Baidi. set out from the city to enter Shuzhong."

promise!
"Gao Shun, you will lead an army of 20 to intercept Liu Bei's Shu army."

promise!
Yang Lin and Gao Shun clasped their fists and shouted in a low voice. The rest of the generals showed admiration when they saw this. Expansion of the frontier and territory is a monstrous achievement.

And Lu Bu looked at the rest of the generals, and said solemnly: "You are leading the three armies. Once the Shu army has the tendency to retreat, directly attack the Yiling camp. There is only one purpose, and that is to hold Jiangdong to death. Liu Bian's army."

promise!
"Gong Jin, you are ready to lead the water army to pursue the victory once the Jiangdong soldiers and horses withdraw from Jingzhou."

I saw Zhou Yu solemnly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the final general is now preparing for the naval battle."

it is good!
