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

Chapter 8
Lu Bu left Hou Cheng behind, and after resting overnight in Nao County, he arrived in Anyi at noon the next day.

When Lu Bu returned to the camp, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the patrolling soldiers had panic and uneasiness on their faces. If there was any movement, they would tense up nervously, like a flock of frightened birds.

Lu Bu first reported to the Army Sima's office, and then registered Hou Cheng as a soldier.

Back in the camp, Lu Bu called Song Xian and Cao Xing, who were patrolling the camp.

Song Xian knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and pleaded guilty to Lu Bu, saying, "Song Xian is incompetent and has a heavy responsibility."

In the early hours of this morning, the Xianbei people suddenly attacked and caught the Bingzhou Army by surprise.Later, Captain Beiguang rectified the army and led the army to fight, but was defeated by the Xianbei people again.Song Xian and Cao Xing were also ordered to participate in this battle. After being defeated, many of their soldiers were naturally killed or injured.

Song Xian only felt that he had failed Lu Bu's expectations, so he knelt down to plead guilty as soon as they met.

"Song Manzi, don't be a hero here, and take all the crimes on yourself."

Cao Xing, who was standing by the side, spoke mercilessly, and told Lu Bu the whole story, "Boss, you can't blame Song Xian for this. If you want to blame, you can only blame our captain, who doesn't have that strength. , I also learned from others to fight one-on-one, but was stabbed in the arm by the opponent, and ran away, causing morale to plummet."

"If we fight head-to-head at the beginning, we may not lose." Cao Xing said later, also with resentment and unwillingness on his face.

Lu Bu originally had no intention of blaming Song Xian. He knew Song Xian's temperament very well. He was solid and loyal, and he would never go against Lu Bu's wishes.

Hearing what Cao Xing said now, Lu Bu helped Song Xian up with his own hands, and asked Cao Xing, "Have all the five thousand Xianbei troops in Yunzhong County been dispatched?"

Cao Xing shook his head, there were only a total of [-] soldiers in Beiguang School's lieutenants, if the [-] Xianbei troops from Yunzhong County came out in full force, there would be no chance of fighting them.

"Those Xianbei people entrusted them with great support, and they only mobilized about 500 people, and they are now camping at Pingfengkou." Cao Xing replied truthfully.

Pingfengkou?
Lu Bu muttered in a low voice, with a strange expression on his face.

At this time, a soldier walked into the tent and said to Lu Bu, "General Cheng Xuan Er is going to the big tent to discuss matters."

The General Cheng mentioned by the messengers is naturally the commander-in-chief of this army, Beiguang Colonel Cheng Lian.

It stands to reason that the school lieutenant should go to the military marquis and military Sima to discuss matters, and it would never be the turn of the little centurion, Lu Bu.

But since Cheng Lian called, Lu Bu was also ordered to go.

The big tent of the main battalion was raised. When Lu Bu arrived, there were already no less than 20 people in the tent. Every few people got together and greeted each other. It seems that Cheng Lian called all the officers above the centurion level. discussion.

The door curtain was lifted again, Beiguang School Wei Chenglian, with a bandage on his left hand, an inner armor and an outer robe, walked in from outside the tent with a sullen face, went straight to the coach's seat and sat down.

The people who were whispering immediately divided into four rows, faced Cheng Lian, stood on the left and right sides, and saluted with fists at the same time: "I have seen you, General."

Cheng Lian nodded, and when he saw that all the personnel had arrived, he said, "I don't want to talk nonsense. Today, our department was attacked by Xianbei, and as many as 400 people were injured. I have sent the news back to Yanmen Pass."

"I called you here to ask you, what should we do next, whether to fight or retreat." Cheng Lian directly stated the core issue of this meeting.

What Cheng Lian answered was a stagnant silence.

Cheng Lian has a short temper, which is well known in the entire battalion, otherwise he would not have done the reckless thing called a one-on-one fight at a critical moment.

No one wants to be the first bird. If Cheng Lian is accidentally offended, he may be pulled out and whipped fifty times at any time. There are many lessons learned from such things in the army.

"You fucking talk!"

Seeing that everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb, Cheng Lian cursed directly, and at the end he added a sentence full of hostility, and if he didn't speak up again, he would drag them out one by one and reward them with ten lashes.

If Cheng Lian can say it, he can definitely do it.

Under heavy punishment, someone finally stood up.

"General, the Xianbei people are fierce, and they have an advantage in numbers. The morale of the army is low, and you are injured, general. I think it's better to retreat to Nao County first, and then make countermeasures against the enemy."

The person who spoke was Wu Chong, one of the marching commanders in the army, and also Cheng Lian's confidant.

Cheng Lian's face became more and more gloomy, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You mean to retreat? Hand over Mayi to others?"

"It's a temporary retreat."

Seeing that Cheng Lian was showing signs of getting angry, Wu Chong quickly added: "The general is very powerful, but he was plotted against on the battlefield. Let us leave Mayi and retreat to Nao County. First, we can paralyze the Xianbei people and make them think we are afraid. , Our army can also adjust its vitality and rectify its morale. At that time, when you recover from your injuries, general, you can take the lead in the charge again, and you will surely break through Xianbei in one fell swoop and regain the lost ground!"

Wu Chong deliberately described Cheng Lian's defeat as being plotted against by others, and put several high hats on Cheng Lian without leaving any trace.

As expected, Cheng Lian nodded again and again, and he could already imagine the majestic scene of defeating Xianbei in his mind.

"What Wu Sima said is quite reasonable, and Sun Yun agrees." Another person stood up and said to Cheng Lian.

"Han Sheng seconded."

"Wang Ke seconded the proposal."

"Bian Jia seconded the proposal."

…………

With the first person seconding, the people behind all quickly stood up, beating their chests and stamping their feet one by one, expressing that when they are well trained, they will fight the Xianbei people to the death.

Seeing that it was the general trend to retreat to Nao County, Cheng Lian waved his hand, ready to announce the order to retreat.

"After retreating to Nao County, if the Xianbei people come again, will they abandon Nao County and retreat to Yuanping? Then, retreat to Yanmen Pass and be a shrinking turtle?"

A sarcastic voice sounded from inside the tent.

Wu Chong's expression changed when he heard this, and then he turned his head and stared at the young man who was speaking resentfully, and shouted sharply: "Lu Bu, you little centurion, how dare you talk nonsense here and disturb the morale of the army. Come on, let me drag him down and punish him with fifty sticks!"

Lu Bu squinted at Wu Chong, a cold light flashed in his eyes, like a knife.

Wu Chong took two steps back unconsciously, feeling a chill on his back, and cursed at Lu Bu: "Lü Bu, don't tell me you still want to kill me!"

You think too much.

Lu Bu said in his heart that he had no interest in this person, let alone bother to talk to him.

Lu Bu stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists at Cheng Lian, and begged for orders, his tone sonorous and forceful: "General, you only need to give Bu 500 people, and I will calm down this group of foreign thieves!"

Cheng Lian's face became serious again, and his frowning showed that he was thinking hard and weighing the pros and cons.

And Wu Chong, who was standing in front of him, was unwilling to be lonely, and pointed at Lu Bu again, and said in a strange way: "Lu Bu, you are so arrogant! You can do things that even a general can't do? Or do you think, Are you stronger than the general?"

"Even if the general agrees, ask everyone present, who is willing to accompany you to die!" Wu Chong pointed to the people in the field and questioned Lu Bu.

500 people can't beat others, so do you still expect to win with 500 people?

Everyone in the tent shook their heads, even if they went, they were just seeking their own death.

Wu Chong's words were extremely sinister. They not only sowed a wedge between Cheng Lian and Lu Bu, but also isolated Lu Bu from everyone. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, Cheng Lian made up his mind and said to Lu Bu: "I am very glad that you have the heart to fight and kill the enemy, but the chances of winning are really slim. I cannot risk the lives of soldiers." Make a bet, so this general decided to withdraw troops."

"General wise!"

Wu Chong took the lead in shouting, and the people behind had no choice but to echo him.

Cheng Lian originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but he never thought that Lu Bu would ask for orders again, and what he said caused turbulent waves in this small tent.

"Bu Yuan leads a hundred people under his command to defeat the enemy, please allow me, the general!"
