The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 659
After a night of peaceful rest, in the early morning of the next day, the soldiers under Lu Bu's command assembled again.

The continuous rushing and fighting, in the hot summer, the soldiers are mostly exhausted, after all, they are not made of iron.It wasn't until last night that I had a good night's sleep that the previous fatigue was swept away, and I woke up in the morning feeling full of energy.

On their faces, there are joyful smiles.

Such a great victory, whether it is Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other generals, or the lowest-level soldiers, rewards and gifts are indispensable when they go back.

Lu Bu has always been a person who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, there is no doubt about this.

Before setting off, Lu Bu made a simple dispatch and asked Sun Ce to return to Chenliu with Yuan Jun's surrender, while the rest of the soldiers followed him to continue chasing Yuan Shu.

Now that Chenliucheng was exhausted and the city was empty, Lu Bu chose to let Sun Ce return to guard, which can be said to be a great trust.

Sun Ce was also moved in his heart, clasped his fists and said loudly: "The last general will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment!"

For an arrogant person like him, once he recognizes his lord, as long as Lu Bu doesn't drive him to a dead end, he will never choose to betray.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, then raised his short whip and pointed forward, and shouted at the soldiers behind him with a passionate expression: "Target Chengkuang City, let's go!"

drink!
The soldiers roared excitedly and followed closely behind.

…………

To the west, Chengkuang City.

Last night, Yuan Shu had a strange dream. He dreamed that there was a gigantic boa constrictor chasing him, but he couldn't get rid of it, until he woke up from his sleep.

Yu Xi, who is good at interpreting dreams under the tent, learned of this, and congratulated Yuan Shu: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord."

Yuan Shu, with cold sweat on his forehead, panted heavily, not knowing why: "Where does the joy come from?"

Yu Xi arched his hands and explained respectfully: "This place is called Chengkuang. According to legend, Nuwa, the god who created the world, was born here. Nuwa's human face and snake body just reflected the python in the master's dream. The master thought it was It wants to swallow you, but it is not. From the subordinates' point of view, it wants to protect the lord! With the blessing of the gods, the lord will surely turn evil into good fortune in the future, and everything will be safe!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was true, his mood immediately improved, and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are well said, my lord will reward you very much!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Yu Xi knelt down and thanked him.

At this time, general Zhang Xun walked in quickly, he glanced at Yu Xi, hesitant to speak.Yuan Shu waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, Zhang Xun then reported in a deep voice: "My lord, something is wrong!"

Hearing the words 'the big thing is not good', the smile on Yuan Shu's face gradually froze, and he looked over: "What happened?"

"My lord, Lu Bu is calling." Zhang Xun's tone and demeanor were full of dignity.

what!
Yuan Shu's face was full of surprise, he never expected that Lu Bu would move so fast, he got up from the bed, and told the maid beside him, "Quickly, change my clothes, I will go and check it myself."

Quickly came to the city tower, Yuan Shu supported the wall and watched.

Not far ahead, a densely packed army appeared. Even after a long distance, the sound of heavy footsteps on the ground could be heard clearly.

The flags covered the sky, and the sky was full of dust, so it was impossible to see how many soldiers and horses there were.

Due to yesterday's defeat, the soldiers on the tower have not yet been able to change their mentality.Now that Lu Bu's army has arrived again, everyone is panicked, and the city is low and the defense is relatively weak, and they don't even have the courage to defend the city.

"Look, Lu Bu has divided his troops!" The sharp-eyed soldier said in surprise, pointing to that side.

Yuan Shu saw that, as the soldiers said, Lv Bu's army gradually divided into three groups: the left, the middle, and the right. The middle road still maintained the original marching route, while the left and right wings began to spread out in a circular arc.

This guy wants to surround Chengkuang City!
Yuan Shu saw through Lu Bu's intentions, and besides anger, there was more hesitation in his dead fish-colored eyes.He knew very well that if Lu Bu really surrounded the city, it would be very difficult for him to retreat completely.

"Is Lu Bu insane? Even with the few soldiers he had yesterday, he also wanted to besiege the city?" Some of the generals under his command were upset. Although they were defeated yesterday, it was not because of their strength and numbers, but because of Lu Bu's. The surprise attack caught them off guard and caused them to flee in defeat.

As far as Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were concerned yesterday, they could not last more than ten thousand, while Yuan Shu's current soldiers and horses still had [-] troops.

"shallow!"

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes, scolded the self-righteous general, pointed in the direction of Lu Bu's army, and explained to everyone: "Look, the place where Lu Bu's army is located is full of dust and yellow sand, and there are only [-] soldiers and horses. Maybe Lu Bu has joined his main force, and he is thinking about how to keep us here!"

Everyone thought about it like this, it seems that there are indeed countless soldiers and soldiers in the dust.Everyone broke into a cold sweat immediately, and clasped their fists in praise of Yuan Shu: "My lord is wise, I can't wait!"

If it is a siege, the number of soldiers and horses must be at least twice that of the enemy.

However, Yuan Shu had completely lost his confidence at this moment. He couldn't accurately judge how many soldiers and horses Lu Bu had brought. He only knew that if he didn't leave, it would be too late.

"Pass my order, the whole army will evacuate towards Zhe County in the southeast direction!"

After Yuan Shu gave the order, he ordered people to pack up their belongings and evacuate as quickly as possible.

Outside Chengkuang City, Lu Bu's army was less than half a mile away from the city.

"Feng Xiao, why do you want me to order to slow down the marching speed?" Lu Bu was very puzzled by this.

Guo Jia, who was riding a white horse, looked at the city ahead and said with a smile, "If we don't walk slowly, Yuan Shu won't have time to escape."

"You want to let Yuan Shu escape on purpose, why?" Lu Bu became more and more puzzled. He set off early in the morning and chased after him. The purpose was to eradicate Yuan Shu instead of letting him go.

Guo Jia shook his head slightly at this, and said sarcastically: "Could it be that Da Sima really wants to use [-] soldiers to surround tens of thousands of defenders? This is unrealistic."

When they arrived, Guo Jia suggested to Lu Bu to tie one or two branches to the tail of the horse, so that when the horse walked, a lot of dust would rise behind it, giving people the illusion of a lot of soldiers and horses.

Both are counselors, but Guo Jia is different from drama tactics.Drama tends to be in overall control, trying to keep everything under his control; Guo Jia, on the other hand, likes to use small things to make big gains, play psychological tactics, and seek strong sensory and psychological stimulation.

Encouraging Lu Bu to raid Yangxia and pursue Yuan Shu were all written by Guo Jia.

No matter which team it is, how powerful it is, when they are fleeing, the morale and morale of the army must be the most sluggish.

If you take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, no one cares about the fugitive soldiers who will resist and resist. In this way, the chasing team can be said to be almost invincible, and they can kill a large number of fugitive soldiers without any effort.

What Guo Jia wants is this effect.

In war, it is not necessary to kill many people to be considered as a victory. Killing and punishing people is the best solution.He wanted Yuan Shu to not dare to move forward and retreat dozens of miles after hearing the name 'Lu Bu' in his life.

After listening to Guo Jia's narration, Lu Bu finally understood, and bowed his hands to accept the teaching with humility.

Not to mention whether he could surround the city with his more than ten thousand soldiers, even if he surrounded it, forcibly attacking the city would inevitably cause a large number of casualties on his own side.If Yuan Shu is forced to jump over the wall in a hurry and come to defend the city, with Lu Bu's current strength, it is impossible to attack.

If Yuan Shu is allowed to leave, these unnecessary casualties can be reduced, and it is enough to chase and kill all the way in the back with peace of mind.

Unaware of the plan, Yuan Shu fled with his troops, crossed the Sui River, and arrived at Zhe County.

But before Zhexian's butt was hot, the scouts rushed to report: "My lord, Lu Bujun is chasing from the rear and has reached the hillside ten miles outside Zhexian city."

Hearing this news, all the generals in the hall were terrified.

"Is he a mad dog!"

Furious, Yuan Shu threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and gritted his teeth. It seemed that Lu Bu was going to kill him, it was too deceitful!
However, the situation is stronger than others. Even if Yuan Shu has 1 people who are not reconciled, he can only issue an order humiliatingly: "Pass me the password, and the whole army will retreat 150 miles south to garrison in Taishou. I want to see , How far can Lu Bu chase me!"

Therefore, Yuan Jun withdrew from Zhe County again, and evacuated in the direction of Taishou.

Yuan Shu fled in front, and Lu Bu chased after him.

Due to the hasty withdrawal of troops several times, and the pursuit and interception of enemy troops behind them, after a continuous escape road of more than 200 miles, most of Yuan's army had already broken up and fled halfway.

After arriving in Taishou, Yuan Shu counted the soldiers and horses under his command, which can be said to be full of grief, the remaining troops were less than one-third of the previous ones.

On the contrary, Lu Bu, who was chasing him, successfully joined Huang Zhong and Fang Yue's army, gaining an absolute advantage in numbers.

After entering Taishou City, Yuan Shujun hung up his exemption card, wanting to recuperate.

Yuan Shu even let go of his harsh words, and his eyes were full of sarcasm: "This idiot Lu Bu actually stretched the battle line so long, I'm just waiting to see him catch fire from behind!"

It's a pity that the good news did not wait, but the bad news came one after another.

First, Cao Cao was restrained by Tao Qian to the east of Yanzhou, and later it was reported that Yuan Shao had been invaded by Gongsun Zan and had to transfer the soldiers from Yan Liang back.

In this way, Lu Bu's rear, which was precarious at first, is now safe and secure.

Yuan Shu, who heard the two news, pointed to the north and cursed angrily: "Traffic, two trash!"

A few days later, another worse news reached Yuan Shu's ears.The grain and grass transported in the rear were intercepted by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu on the way, and there was nothing left.

what!
Yuan Shu stepped forward and strangled the scout's neckline, his eyes were so wide that they were about to protrude from their sockets, he felt his head spinning, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

puff!
In desperation, Yuan Shu, whose face was flushed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the spot.

All the generals under his command rushed forward to rescue him and carried him to the bed to rest.

After half an hour, Yuan Shu woke up leisurely.

"Come on, come on! Send me an order to send troops to Xiangyang immediately, and I will personally kill Liu Biao, this old dog!" Yuan Shu gasped and shouted, but his face was extremely pale, and he looked extremely weak.

Zhang Xun, who came here after hearing the news, walked over quickly, and said with concern: "My lord, the doctor said that you are in a hurry, so don't get angry again. If there is anything, we will talk about it after you recover."

"Forget it, I'll put up with Liu Biao for a few more days, and when I recover, I'll definitely crush Jingxiang!" Yuan Shu clenched his fists, thinking of the robbing of food and grass, he couldn't get rid of his anger.

After a while, Yuan Shu asked again, "Where is Lu Bu, is there any news?"

"My lord, Lu Bu surrounded Taishou City the day before yesterday. However, he doesn't seem to have any plans to attack the city. He just sends people to verbally surrender every day. The morale of our soldiers is very low."

Zhang Xun's tone was heavy, and the current situation was not optimistic for them.

It's really haunting!
Yuan Shu felt extremely hated, but he was helpless.

Judging from this situation, Lu Bu must have known that his food and grass had been robbed, so he did not attack by force for a long time, in order to consume them to death here.

"How many days is enough food and grass in the city?"

"At most half a month, my lord should think of a way out early." Zhang Xun replied truthfully.

"My lord, something is wrong!" Chang Shi Chen Ji hurried in, his face full of anxiety.

"what happened again?"

Yuan Shu suppressed the anger in his heart, and his tone was very irritable.

Chen Ji didn't dare to hide it, and said angrily, "Lü Bu dug up the canal, and the water rushed down and poured directly into the city. Countless grains were washed away, and the city was full of oceans, only the east gate remained. flooded."

what!
Yuan Shu sat up in shock, put on his upper body indiscriminately, and walked out of the mansion.

In Taishou City, the river flowed wildly, destroying many houses and buildings, almost submerging the chest.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Seeing this scene, Zhang Xun felt inexplicably blocked, as if he was being pressed down by a big rock, and he was about to be out of breath.

You ask me, who do I ask?
Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Zhang Xun, feeling at a loss for himself for the first time.No matter what he did before, he was very confident.But now, my heart seems to have lost its direction, and I can't see a little light.

Didn't it say that there is a blessing from the gods? How did it become like this!

"Get out!"

After sighing deeply, Yuan Shu gave the order to retreat again helplessly and bitterly.

Knowing that Yuan Shu had escaped from Taishou, Lu Bu still did not intend to let him go, and continued to pursue him relentlessly.

Therefore, Yuan Shu fled from Taishou to Ningling, and from Ningling to Yanzhou, crossed Yuzhou, which was close to him, and went straight to Jiujiang, his old nest in Yangzhou, and finally escaped from danger.

This time the escape covered a total of more than [-] miles, and Yuan Shu was really panicked after chasing him like a bereaved dog.

At the same time, Lu Bu also chose to stop and led his army back to Chenliu.

In fact, Lu Bu also fought quite hard in this battle.

First they drove for nearly a hundred li, annihilating Yuan Shu's vanguard Yu Yangxia, and then surrounded Yuan Shu's headquarters in Chengkuang. , to prevent Yuan Shu from having a chance to breathe.

Therefore, Yuan Shu became a bereaved dog and had to flee far away.

This war fought from the summer solstice to the end of winter, and the curtain slowly came to an end with the victory of Lu Bu's army.
