Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 582

At dawn, the Puban camp was full of cheers and laughter, and bloody and exhausted soldiers walked back and forth in the messy camp.

"General, we annihilated the vanguard of Li Tang's bandits in this battle, and less than [-] were able to escape."

Shan Xiongxin led the victorious army to escort the prisoners back to the camp and saw the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield.

The generals came forward to congratulate each other. The boost to morale from the victory in the first battle was invisible, but it was also very obvious.

Even Xu Rong, who is usually quiet, listened to the reports of the generals, his eyes flickered with smiles, and he couldn't stop nodding.

"Okay! The victory in the first battle has already been reported to the king with an eagle, and I will ask for credit for the generals."

"How dare the last general, the victory of this battle depends entirely on the general."

The generals laughed again and again, Xu Rong couldn't help nodding and laughing and said: "The morale is available, and the three armies are ordered to reorganize, and Li Tang's bandits may arrive soon."

promise!
Puban was victorious, but the soldiers and horses led by Li Shimin were full of sorrow. They were defeated without even touching the camp, and the morale of the army was a little bit decadent.

Especially when the general of the army, Hou Junji, returned in embarrassment with hundreds of defeated soldiers, the morale of the army was even more decadent.

At this time, Li Shimin could be said to have mixed joys and sorrows. He was happy that news from Shuzhong came before his elder brother led the army to Hanzhong.

Bashu Liu Zhang led the army to surrender, and now the master of Shuzhong has been replaced by Liu Bei. After receiving this news, Li Yuan decided to give up attacking Hanzhong.

After all, the rebellion in Central Shu has almost been put down, and if there is another mistake in the fight, it will be a two-front war. Li Yuan in Chang'an is not a fool, and it is obvious that Lu Bu in Hebei is more powerful.

Immediately, the Chang'an envoys were dispatched to congratulate Liu Bei and at the same time there was no lack of ideas for unity.

What is worrying is the defeat in the first battle. There are only more than 5 soldiers gathered on the front line, and less than half of the more than [-] soldiers and horses have fled back. Now Li Shimin's army only has more than [-] soldiers and horses.

"The army is ready for war, and one hundred thousand reinforcements will arrive in a few days."

After abandoning Hanzhong, Li Yuan directly ordered [-] soldiers and horses to support him, which means that Li Tang decided to attack Bingzhou with all his strength this time.

Although Lu Bu is very powerful, but this time Guandu, Qingzhou and Bingzhou, even Lu Bu, who has a big family and a great career, is already hurting his muscles and bones in the third-line battle.

Li Tang's movements in Guanzhong could not be concealed from Lu Bu, let alone the princes of the world. Li Yuan simply did not hide it, and he allied with Cao Cao in an open and honest manner, and led his troops to attack Bingzhou.

This time in the war in the Central Plains, it can be said that all the princes have moved, the princes of the world are all fighting, and there is no peace in the world of the big man.

Guandu!

Standing on the camp, Cao Cao frowned and stared at the dust flying in front of him, his martial arts and martial arts were also full of helplessness.

Under the dusty sky, huge buildings resembling archery towers were pushed out of the Hebei Daying camp every day. After they were pushed outside the camp, Hebei soldiers dug up the soil and began to pile it up.

The wooden buildings shaped like archery towers are like skeletons, and the soil is like flesh and blood. More than a dozen tall mounds appear outside the camp every day.

"Master, Hebei soldiers and horses are about to attack."

Seeing the movements of the soldiers in Hebei, Xi Zhicai shook his head helplessly and sighed.

On the dusty ground, cavalrymen wandered leisurely on the ground. Cao Cao's eyes were full of greed and helplessness.

He is jealous of the Hebei iron cavalry, but it is precisely because of these cavalry that he cannot go out.

Also in the distance, on the observation wooden building of the Hebei Daying Camp, Lv Bu and his generals watched the changes of Cao Jun.

"Cao Mengde is really calm." Some of the generals muttered.

It's been so many days, and the movements are obvious, but this Cao Cao just doesn't take the bait. Dozens of mounds have been rammed outside Cao's camp at Guandu.

Lu Bu shook his head and said with a smile, "Since Cao Mengde can hold his breath, tomorrow we will smash Cao Jun's defense lines first."

He couldn't wait any longer. Now that the third front is fighting, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers eating horse chews consume several times that of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao's headache is how to fight back. The opponent has too many cavalry, so much that even if he fights one-on-one, his cavalry will be exhausted, and the opponent still has tens of thousands of cavalry.

Lu Bu also had a headache. Cao Cao shrank like a tortoise in the camp and could only attack by force.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao are both having a headache, and the civil and military personnel under both sides are also frowning, especially the military advisers of both sides.

Xi Zhicai was observing the Hebei army every day, in order to find any weakness, and Guo Jia was also pulling his beard and looking sad.

Chen Gong was sent to Qingzhou, and Jia Xu went to Puban to deal with the upcoming 10,000+ troops of Li Tang.

After returning to the commander's tent, Lu Bu began to get busy. Almost all the big and small affairs in the four prefectures of Hebei were sent to the military camp for his approval.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians of the grassland learned that our great Han princes were in a melee, and various tribes began to conquer."

"Your Majesty, the [-] troops from Chang'an have already set off. General Xu Rong in Puban only has [-] soldiers and horses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist him. Send the army to arrive immediately."

"Your Majesty, Shuzhong has changed hands. Liu Zhang led a hundred officials to surrender, and Liu Bei has already taken Shuzhong."

The civil servants in the tent reported the battle reports from various places one by one, the mobilization of soldiers and horses was second, and the more important thing was the aspect of food and grass.

deadlock!There is a stalemate in front of him, one of the three battlefields must be opened first, otherwise he will consume the most if the stalemate continues.

Although his heart was filled with sorrow, Lu Bu kept his face downplaying, showing a relaxed smile and waving his hands, "Shangdang's soldiers and horses have been mobilized, and I will order Gao Shun to follow Bingzhou to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to the south to support Puban."

promise!
"Pusan ​​is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with a [-] army in hand, and Xu Rong is as stable as Mount Tai."

Lu Bu spoke relaxedly, but Guo Jia looked up at his lord after pondering for a while, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, you can make General Xu General Pingxi."

Although Guo Jia's words were not clear, Lu Bu understood that this was to reward Xu Rong to reassure the army.

"Quite!" Nodding his head with a smile, Lu Bu didn't give up at all, just a general position in exchange for Xu Rong's loyalty!
"Feng Xiao, are the officials in Yanzhou useful?"

Since the battle is deadlocked, it is possible to obtain fighters from places other than the battlefield. After hearing Lu Bu's inquiry, Guo Jia shook his head and sighed with a wry smile.

"My lord, don't talk about Yanzhou, even Xuzhou has people who love the king, but it's a pity that they have no soldiers and no power in their hands. In addition to the current stalemate in the war, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Seeing Guo Jia shaking his head, Lu Bu was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, looked around at Wen Wu in the tent and said with a smile: "It's better to open the situation, even if it can't be opened, a mere Cao Mengde with 30 troops alone wants to stop it , haha~”

Lv Bu's laughter revived the confidence of the civil and military personnel in the tent who had been quiet in recent days, and everyone's eyes were full of excitement.

Yes, on the frontal battlefield, their king has not yet begun to show strength. Cao Cao has no more than 10,000+ troops in Guandu. No one doubts that Lu Bu will be defeated under a strong attack. It is just a matter of time.
