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

Chapter 667
Early May.

Lu Bu, who was stationed at Xinshui, failed to wait for the news of Juyang's attack, but waited for Xu Huang, who returned with the defeated army.

Seeing all the soldiers returning in a state of distress, Lu Bu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Huang knelt down and clasped his fists, with shame on his face: "My lord, I am ashamed of the high expectations I have for you, please punish me severely!"

Lu Bu found a place to sit down and asked Xu Huang to tell the details.

Xu Huang didn't dare to hide anything, and reported the whole process to Lu Bu in detail.

Xu Huang attacked Juyang for nearly half a month, but Cao Ren, who was defending the city, was particularly tenacious and repeatedly repelled the attacking soldiers.After more than ten days of fierce fighting, seeing that the city was about to be broken, the clinker Xia Houyuan suddenly rushed out from behind, caught Xu Huang by surprise, and retreated dozens of miles.

At the same time, the timely arrival of Xia Houyuan doubled the confidence of the hopeless city guards and gave them new fighting spirit.

In this way, Xu Huang knew that a strong attack on Juyang was in vain. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only lead his troops back and wait for Lu Bu to punish him.

When formulating the plan to storm Juyang, Lu Bu asked the generals under his command who could lead the troops to break through the city.

Xu Huang volunteered, stood out among many generals, and successfully won the post.I wanted to use this to make a great contribution, but unexpectedly encountered the Waterloo of life and returned in defeat.

Kneeling in the tent, Xu Huang knew he had committed a serious crime, so he touched his head to the ground and dared not lift it up.

"My lord, General Xu was also careless for a while, so he allowed the enemy general to take advantage of his loopholes. Please forgive me." Zhang Liao, who had a good relationship with Xu Huang, went out and clasped his fists to plead for mercy.

"Please be gracious, Lord!"

With Zhang Liao as an example, the other generals in the tent also pleaded for Xu Huang.

After all, Xu Huang has no grievances or enmities with them, and if he can save them easily and sell favors, why not do it.

Lu Bu frowned, anger was part of the reason, losing tens of thousands of soldiers would make anyone feel distressed.On the other hand, because Xia Houyuan was caught off guard, no one thought that Xia Houyuan, who was far away in Bo County, would rush to help Juyang not far away.

No wonder Cao Cao was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai when he learned that Juyang was in trouble. It turned out that he had planned it long ago.

Lu Bu glanced at the generals begging for mercy, then at Xu Huang who was kneeling on the ground in fear, and said in a deep voice: "You swore to me before, but now Juyang not only failed to win, but also lost countless soldiers. I should have Punish you heavily, but since everyone pleaded for you, and because of your outstanding achievements in the past, I will forgive you this time, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living penalty cannot be escaped."

Lu Bu's voice was loud, if Xu Huang is not punished today, how will he manage the army in the future.

"Summon all the battalions to fight against Kou Xiaowei Xu Huang. He failed in the battle and caused a large number of casualties in our army. They will be demoted to two ranks and retained, and fined forty army sticks."

When Lu Bu made the punishment, Xu Huang, who was kneeling on the ground, replied gratefully: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

Afterwards, Xu Huang stood up, and followed the soldiers who entered the tent, and walked out of the tent.

The forty army sticks were finally finished under the watchful eyes of many soldiers.

Xu Huang, who was walking out, was carried into the tent, his buttocks were like a puddle of soft mud, and he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed in ten and a half months.

During the punishment, Xu Huang was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he just tried not to cry out the pain.

For this, the soldiers all respect him as a man.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Huang Zhong asked with his fists clasped.

The plan to capture Juyang failed, so naturally everything had to be re-arranged.

If the remote trails are impassable, you can only meet the mountains and open the mountains, and the water will be cut off.

"How many soldiers and horses do we have?" Lu Bu sat back in his seat and asked.

"Reporting to my lord, including those brought back by General Xu, there are still about 7000 people in total."

Lu Bu made some calculations in his mind, Dingtao had about [-] soldiers and horses, and with Cao Cao personally in charge, with Lu Bu's current strength, if he forcibly attacked the city, his chances of winning were five to five.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

Lu Bu didn't want to continue to consume with Cao Cao, or he would not fight, and if he wanted to fight, he would try to eat him in one go!

"Ling, Zhang Yang, Governor of Shangdang County, Wei Kei, Governor of Hedong County, Wang Kuang, Governor of Hanoi County, Du Ji, Ling Du of Luoyang, and Wu Zhi, Prime Minister of Chen Guo, within one month, gather together [-] soldiers and horses, and transport them to Chenliu! "

Nearly [-] soldiers and horses attacked the city, and the odds of winning were at least [-]%.

Hearing Lu Bu's order, Pang Ji had a troubled expression on his face: "Master, other places are fine, but that Chen Guoxiang belongs to Yuzhou, and it seems that he is not under our command..."

Lu Bu waved his hand at this directly: "Send someone to tell him that if he refuses to send troops, after I deal with Cao Cao, he will be the next one to be attacked."

This is the way of the world. It may not be possible to speak well, but if you have a big fist, you will definitely be able to do it.

Lu Bu's order was quickly conveyed, leading to the various places mentioned.

Cao Cao in Dingtao City began to fidget when he learned that Lu Bu was raising troops. If Lu Bu were to gather his troops, then his Dingtao City would be extremely dangerous.

That night, Cao Cao sent a letter to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. He sent a letter to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and stated that the number one enemy to deal with should be the ambitious Lu Bu.

Once Lu Bu devours Yanzhou, the next turn will most likely be Jizhou and Youzhou where the two of them are located.

Cao Cao is actually not very sure whether he can persuade these two to join forces to fight against the enemy.It would be best if Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan could let go of their prejudices, but if not, then Cao Cao could only rely on Cao Cao to resist Lu Bu's anger from the front.

During this period, Cao Cao repeatedly sent people to attack Lu Buliang Road, but failed in the end.

One month later, [-] soldiers gathered from various places finally arrived in Xinshui.

Chen Guoxiang Wu Zhi refused at first, but after hearing Lu Bu's threat, he immediately changed his tone and chose to cooperate decisively and honestly.

Yuan Shu's [-] troops were defeated by Lu Bu, not to mention his mere land of the Marquis.

With [-] soldiers, the capture of Dingtao was almost certain, and Lu Bu climbed up to the high platform built in the camp full of ambition.

Just as Lu Bu was about to mobilize before the battle, at this moment, something seemed to fall on his face.

Lu Bu stretched out his palm and pressed it with his thumb. He took it off and saw that it was a small thing with six slender legs, thin wings on its back, two tentacles on the top of its head, and eyes like small green lanterns.

Lu Bu saw this kind of insect in the fields when he was a child. The common name is grasshopper, also known as migratory locust.The staple foods are wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit trees, leaves, tender stems, flower buds and tender fruits of weeds, etc., which can be said to be a complete disaster.

"Look over there!"

A soldier seemed to have discovered something terrible, and shouted in horror.

Lu Bu looked up, and the mid-air was full of densely packed locusts, so many that they almost covered the sky above his head.

A heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
