I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 441, Lu Bu's ambition
At the beginning of July, Yanzhou, Jiyin County!

The battle of Yanzhou began, and 10 cavalry began to sweep the entire Dongjun countryside. Any Han army who dared to appear in the wild would be defeated and captured by the boundless cavalry. Small towns, Wubao and county towns were also all captured Not only can the Han army not approach Dongjun, but even the territory within 100 miles to the north of Jiyin County is now full of cavalry, which cut off the source of news for the Han army!

The Han army trapped in Wubao and the county town like an isolated island were extremely desperate, thinking that Yuan Shao had just given up on them, if it wasn't for the fact that the big army had treated them cruelly, leaving Yanzhou's tycoons with nowhere to escape, At this time, there should be a large number of tyrants seeking refuge in Lei Gong!

And just when the northern Yanzhou was desperate, the iron cavalry of the Han army suddenly appeared, and a group of [-] cavalry suddenly rushed to Juyang, catching Duan Peng and the others by surprise, causing thousands of cavalry casualties.

Duan Peng, who had suffered such a big loss, was naturally unconvinced, and summoned tens of thousands of cavalry to trouble the Han army!

In this way, several small-scale conflicts broke out between the two sides in the suburbs of Juyang, but it was Duan Peng who suffered the most!
Because this time he is facing Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other fierce generals who are enemies of thousands of people, and they are also generals who grew up in the frontier since they were young. After joining the cavalry, the command ability of the generals became the shortcoming of the large army. In terms of strength, the Han army also had the advantage. Lu Bu and others were highly skilled in martial arts. They rushed left and right on the battlefield, and they were overwhelming. The dry cavalry, the large dry cavalry were beaten and retreated steadily, and had to withdraw from Juyang County.

Duan Peng, who was at a disadvantage, sent to scout the horses. Only then did he know that his enemy was the cavalry of the Han coalition army. Yuan Shao and the others put all their cavalry together in a desperate attempt to open up the connection between Dongjun and Dingtao.

After learning about the strength of the Han army, Duan Peng withdrew from Juyang, and at the same time contacted the cavalry of the Dagan army scattered in all directions, planning to use the whole army to annihilate the cavalry of the coalition army. He knew that as long as Yuan Shao and his cavalry were wiped out, Yuan Shao and his cavalry The source of cavalry will be completely lost, and the wild will become the world of Dagan!

And Lu Bu also sent out his horses to inquire about the situation of Dagan's army. He knew that they had 5 cavalry in front of them, and there was another 5 cavalry in Dagan in the direction of Dongping Kingdom. Although there are more cavalry in Dagan than them , but Lu Bu and the others are so confident that they can fight, but if a large army of 10 cavalry come together, Lu Bu and the others know that no matter how brave their 3 cavalry are, they will not be able to defeat a three-fold large army!
So at the military meeting, Lu Bu pointed to the map and said firmly: "If we want to change the situation in the Central Plains, we have to severely injure Duan Peng's 5 cavalry in the outskirts of Lihu County, and annihilate Lei Gong's 5 cavalry in order to hurt Lei Gong so that he can't stop fighting." Dare to unscrupulously cut off our connection with Dongjun, the coalition forces can take the initiative in this war!"

To be honest, Lu Bu was a little surprised that he could become the cavalry commander of the coalition army. In his opinion, Liu Bei has been suppressing himself, which made him unable to get ahead. At the beginning, he solved Dong Zhuo's serious problem for the court and was promoted to General Fenwu , Jinfeng Wenhou, is also a big boss in the court, and can even be said to be the number one in the military.

It's a pity that the Liu Bei and Zhu Jun alliance later seized the military power in his hands. He could only control the confidant camp brought by Bingzhou and the Bingzhou cavalry with less than 1 troops, while Liu Bei controlled an army of 10. He can only be firmly pressed behind Liu Bei, and even his good teacher and helpful friend Wang Yun persuaded him to focus on the overall situation and not to conflict with Liu Bei.

So Lu Bu watched with jealousy Liu Bei's achievements in the past three years, conquering the territory of the three southern states of the Han Dynasty, becoming the world-renowned Great General of the Han Dynasty, and the veritable number one in the military!
Liu Bei's treatment made Lu Bu envious and jealous. In his opinion, beating Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang was nothing. If he had this opportunity, he could easily defeat these two idiots!
Lu Bu has always been dissatisfied with Liu Bei. When he and Liu Bei were encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Liu Bei was just Gongsun Zan's younger brother. He won Liu Yu's favor and became the captain of Tuntian. How bad is Liu Bei!

It's a pity that his luck is not as good as Liu Bei's. He has been at the forefront of resisting Lei Gong. Although he has paid a lot of hard work, he has not been promoted much. However, Liu Bei has been lucky enough to avoid Lei Gong and has been playing yellow scarves in Youzhou and Jizhou. Army, which made him the governor of Jizhou and the governor of Liangzhou. When he joined Dong Zhuo and became a general of Zhonglang, Liu Bei had already become the target of Dong Zhuo's wooing. Not only was he appointed as Jingzhou Mu by Dong Zhuo, he also became the general of Zhennan!
Finally, he forged ahead and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back. Then he became General Fenwu and narrowed the gap with Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that the imperial court would flee to Liu Bei's territory in Xiangyang. He was promoted directly to Liu Bei as a general and became the veritable No. [-] man in the military, but he, Lu Bu, became a little-known general. Now his reputation is not as good as Liu Bei's younger brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!Became the fourth and fifth generals of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that in the past three years, no one knew that the Han Dynasty had a general named Lu Bu!
How could Lu Bu be convinced by such a strong gap? He thought that Liu Bei was just a lucky son of the clan. He could do everything Liu Bei could do, but he didn't have the opportunity and no one appreciated him.

If it weren't for the fact that there are only three families left in the Han Dynasty, each of which is very powerful, Lu Bu must not be able to stand the current gap, and take his confidants to wander in the Central Plains. He is not willing to be inferior to others!

And this time, after Liu Bei handed over all the cavalry of the allied forces of the princes to Lu Bu, this immediately ignited Lu Bu's ambition. Of course, Lu Bu didn't want to rebel at this time, but wanted to rely on the cavalry in his hands to make contributions and let the world know that he is Lu Bu big name!And in Yanzhou now, there is a greater contribution than defeating the Dagan army!
So when Lu Bu saw the cavalry in Duan Peng's hands, he regarded the 5 cavalry as his meritorious service!
Yuan Tan asked in surprise when he heard Lu Bu's words: "General Fenwu is sure to defeat Duan Peng? You must know that the Dagan Cavalry has been invincible since its establishment. Being defeated by them, Lei Gong has his current prestige, and half of the credit is due to the cavalry in his hands!"

Yuan Tan is the eldest son of Yuan Shao, with outstanding talents, both civil and military, and has repeatedly made military exploits in the process of Yuan Shao's pacification of Hebei in history.Later, Yuan Shao adopted Yuan Tan to his late brother Yuan Ji as his stepson, and let Yuan Tan go out to guard Qingzhou as the governor, and Cao Cao named him the governor of Qingzhou.

When Yuan Tan arrived in Qingzhou, the territory he controlled was only plains.So Yuan Tan expelled Tian Kai to the north.In the spring of the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Tan attacked Kong Rong in the east. In the summer of the war, Yuan Tan won a complete victory.Yuan Tan sent troops to the corner of the sea again, and finally occupied the whole Qingzhou, and then he stayed here.The Yuan family has always been generous, and the people are delighted with Yuan Tan's victory.

And in such a world where Xu Wei invaded randomly, Yuan Tan is still outstanding. Yuan Shao moved into Luoyang City at the beginning, but the whole Yuzhou was conquered by Yuan Tan. Later, when Yuan Shao attacked Xuzhou, the coach was also Yuan Tan. It can be said that even if Yuan Shao was not Yuan Shao His eldest son is also an excellent general.

The military quality of the generals let Yuan Tan know the plight of the Yuan family. Lei Gong is coming aggressively, intending to devour the entire Yanzhou. If they can't repel Lei Gong's invasion of the Central Plains, their Yuan family can only be defeated step by step under Lei Gong's offensive. Down.

Now that Lu Bu wanted to defeat Lei Gong's most important cavalry force, Yuan Tan was naturally happy. His only worry was whether Lu Bu could defeat Duan Peng and his 5 cavalry!
To put it bluntly, Lu Bu's reputation is far inferior to Duan Peng's now. Although Duan Peng is only a Xianbei, he is also a brave general who followed Lei Gong in the southern and northern wars. In Youzhou, he also defeated Huang Fusong, the famous general of the Han Dynasty. He defeated tens of thousands of elite men by relying on iron cavalry. In the battle of Jizhou, hundreds of thousands of Jizhou troops dared not fight in the field. From Yuan Tan's point of view, Lu Bu may not really fight. Duan Peng!
Lu Bu said to himself: "Before the fight, I wasn't sure, but after this fight, I found that Duan Peng is a mediocre general, and his commanding level is not as good as that of an ordinary general like my big man. The current record is only due to the superiority of equipment and Lei Gong's command."

"Now that Duan Peng is not under the command of Lei Gong, and our army's equipment is not inferior to that of the generals, Duan Peng has exposed his true nature as a mediocre general. He is confident that he can defeat the 5 army in Duan Peng's hands with an army of [-]!"

Yuan Tan recalled yesterday's battle. Although they had the superiority in military strength, Duan Peng's command seemed to be really not outstanding. It can be said that they had been suppressed by them throughout the battle. The cavalry is so mobile that they can almost leave Duan Peng on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, Yuan Tan's fear of the Dagan cavalry disappeared, and he firmly said to Lu Bu: "Please also ask General Fenwu to lead us to make great achievements!"

At this time, Zhao Yun on the side stopped and said: "General, the general gave us the order to find a way to get in touch with Dongjun, and did not let them annihilate the cavalry of Dagan. Now Duan Peng has nearly 5 cavalry in his hands. Whether it is In terms of strength, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not inferior to ours, and our army does not have a high chance of winning.

In a decisive battle with Lei Gong's cavalry, he defeated Lei Gong and Duan Yun's 5 cavalry. There are still millions of barbarians waiting for Lei Gong's call in the desert. It can be said that the loss of 5 cavalry is not enough to hurt Daqian, but if I If the army is defeated, or even victorious, the initiative on the battlefield will be completely controlled by the generals. At that time, even if our army has more soldiers, it will not be able to change the situation of being passively beaten! "

Hearing this, Lu Bu said angrily: "We can only get through with Dongjun by defeating Duan Peng's cavalry. Isn't this the order of the general, if we don't defeat Duan Peng, he will watch us support Dongjun? Don't forget Yes, Lei Gong sent more than 10 cavalry to Yanzhou. If Duan Peng and Duan Yun meet, we will be the ones who will flee. So now is the best time for us to defeat Duan Peng. We missed this opportunity. Can be forced back to Dingtao step by step by the cavalry!"

Yuan Tan also followed up and said: "I will find a way to contact Juyang, Zhencheng, and the defenders around Chengyang. They should be able to send out [-] to [-] infantry, so that we will not lose to Dagan in terms of strength. Now, Yanzhou is our territory, our army occupies a favorable location and people, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Dagan army in a single battle!"

For Yuan Tan, although the battle with Duan Peng may cause heavy losses to his own cavalry, it is still worthwhile if he can seriously injure Lei Gong, and it is also a guarantee that he mobilized the infantry in the end. If they are really defeated by Duan Peng, they can also abandon the infantry , Escape with the cavalry, and these infantry can also help them hinder the pursuit of the main army!

The chief and deputy commanders of the army agreed to fight, and most of the other generals also supported Lu Bu's opinion. Zhao Yun had no choice but to follow Lu Bu's actions. Now he can only pray that Duan Peng is really a mediocre general like Lu Bu said!
After deciding to have a decisive battle with Duan Peng's cavalry, Lu Bu sent scouts around to find out the location of Duan Peng's main force, and Yuan Tan also contacted the defenders around Dongjun and Jiyin County everywhere, asking them to gather in the direction of Juyang. Yuan Tan assembled 2 infantry.

So Lv Bu had an army of 5 cavalry in his hands. Under the leadership of Lv Bu, this army rushed to Duan Peng's cavalry in mighty force!

Duan Peng was surprised to find that the Han army was attacking in his direction and said with a surprised smile: "This Han army has the guts to attack us on its own initiative. They are really not afraid of death!"

Since the Battle of Youzhou, the Han army had no choice but to flee for their lives when they encountered Duan Peng's cavalry, and the active attack was the only time in the past five years!
Captain Wan Lang smiled and said: "The commander of the Han army is still our old friend Lu Bu. Of course Beijiang has always been courageous. Since he stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back, he has disappeared all these years. I thought he was dead, but I didn't think of him. Not only is he living well, but he has even become the commander of a large army. This Liu Bei is really big-hearted. Could it be that he doesn’t know that Lu Bu is against the Lord, and those who Lu Bu has been with are either killed in battle or killed by him! Could it be that he Don't worry about being the next Dong Zhuo!"

Duan Peng suddenly realized, "No wonder the Han army has the guts to fight us. This Lu Bu is quite capable. When he was at Yanmen Pass, he had an elite army in his hand, which caused us a lot of trouble in Bingzhou!"

Song Yi sneered and said, "He wants to find us for a decisive battle, so we will do as he wishes. During this period of time, we have been attacking Wubao, and it is thankless. Now that Lu Bu has brought an army of 5, we will just annihilate them! "

When Xu Wei sent them to be vanguards, he wanted Duan Peng and the others to annihilate the main force of the Han coalition forces in the field. It was a pity that Yuan Shao let all the troops near Yanzhou East County hide in Wubao, allowing them to attack Wubao and Wubao with half the effort. City, but did not achieve much results, and even the gunpowder in their hands is almost used up!They were also reprimanded by the ruling party.Now their chance to make a difference has finally come!
