New Lubu War

Chapter 242 Personal expedition
Autumn.

General's House.

back yard.

Mrs. Crepe's courtyard.

Mrs. Crepe is naturally the old Crepe family.

Reclining softly, with his upper body leaning against Crepe's body, Lu Bu raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling very comfortable.

"Your Majesty, these are black grapes brought from the Western Regions, try one!"

With Lu Bu's head resting on his chest, Crepe took a thumb-sized, translucent black grape and handed it to Lu Bu's mouth.

"Western Region?"

Lu Bu subconsciously opened his mouth, and wrapped it around Chi's green fingers, and said indistinctly:
"From now on, there won't be any Western Regions anymore, they will all be directly under my brother's jurisdiction!"

"What did your honor say?"

Crepe didn't hear clearly, she pulled her finger out of Lu Bu's mouth, stroked his face and asked.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the astonishingly beautiful Chichi, his head moved slightly, and Lu Bu smiled and said:
"It's nothing. I said that the black grapes from the Western Regions are not as delicious as my grapes from the Central Plains?"

"Your Majesty!"

When Crepe heard this, she pinched Lu Bu's face reproachfully.

However, someone leaned forward and rubbed against the side of Lu Bu's face.

The itchy feeling on his face made Lu Bu want to fall in love with Feifei, and his eyes became eager.

At this moment, a maid came in and said to Lu Bu:
"General, General Cao Xing, please see me!"

"Oh?"

Lu Bu stopped moving.

Standing up, gently lifted Chirushi's chin with his fingers, and said with a smile:

"Ma'am, wait a moment, Bu will come back as soon as he goes!"

……

study.

"General!"

Cao Xing cupped his fists and said:

"I just got the battle report from the front line. Our army tried to cross the river many times in Lujiang, Xiakou, and Jiangling, but was intercepted by Sun Liu!"

"Ok!"

Lu Bu nodded slightly and asked:
"What is the specific situation?"

Cao Xing said:
"The Yangtze River is too wide, and the Sun Liu warships are always patrolling. Our army has not been able to gain a foothold on the river, let alone cross the river!"

"That's it!"

Lu Bu sighed and stood up from his seat.

After clasping his hands, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. Lu Bu shook his head and said:
"It seems that with Wen Yuan and other generals alone, it is impossible to go south and cross the river in a short time to pacify Jingxiang and Jiangdong!"

"Never mind!"

Stretching his waist, he said slowly:

"Let's go out and do some activities!"

Turning around, looking at Cao Xing, Lu Bu smiled and said:
"Notify Wen He and other lords in the court, as well as Wen Yuan and Zi Xun at the front line, that I want to go out in person and wipe out the south in one fell swoop!"

"Here!"

Cao Xing clasped his fists in silence and responded loudly.

……

Jian'an eight years, autumn.

Because Lu Jun was in the Yangtze River and had failed to confront Sun Liu across the river for half a year, General Lu Bu decided to conquer himself.

The elite army was all on the north coast of the river, so Lu Bu didn't need to bring soldiers and horses, he only brought three hundred personal guards, and galloped all the way to Xiangyang.

Well, this time, in addition to the personal guards, clerks Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang also accompanied him.

In addition, the original Cao Ying generals, including the Cao family and the Xiahou family, all followed.

Such as Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Zhang Yun, Yan Liang..., and so on.

These people, who had been idle in Xudu for more than two years, were all brought out by Lu Bu this time.

Outside the city of Xiangyang.

"We greet the lord!"

Hearing the news, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian and hundreds of other generals who came out of the city to greet him clasped their fists at Lu Bu and saluted loudly.

Zhang Liao was in his thirties, his face was quite weathered, his demeanor was calm, he was not angry and majestic, and he had the demeanor of a general.

But in front of Lu Bu, he was not much different from the fifteen or six-year-old boy in the past.

With spiritual power, he knows better than others how terrifying Lu Bu is now.

Like Zhuge Liang who possesses spiritual perception, in Zhang Liao's induction, Lu Bu's aura is as deep as a prison, unfathomable.

Even if he simply stood there, he was so domineering, like a god descending.

"Ha ha!"

Sitting on the red rabbit, without moving a muscle, Lu Bu lined up on foot, and the generals who greeted him looked at him, and said with a smile:

"No courtesy, follow me into the city!"

"Here!"

Hundreds of fierce generals agreed in unison.

Next, Lu Bu was surrounded by everyone and entered Xiangyang City like stars holding the moon.

Xiangyang City.

Prefect's House.

Lu Bu is at the top.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood solemnly on both sides, wearing battle armor and carrying a strong evil spirit.

Below, hundreds of warriors lined up.

"Wenyuan!"

Lu Bu rolled his name and asked:
"Tell me about the battle in the past six months!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liao went out, first clasped his fists as a military salute, and then told about Lu Jun's various preparations in the past six months, as well as more than a dozen attempts to cross the river.

Nothing special.

The water battle is at a disadvantage in an all-round way. Let alone crossing the river under the interception of the Sun Liu battleship, it is impossible for one's own ships to enter the river!

The only thing that has progressed is the shipbuilding work.

After half a year, Lu Jun built more than [-] large ships, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to cross the river.

However, the battle on the river is unfavorable. Although there are tools for crossing the river, they have no ability to cross the river.

After listening to Zhang Liao's narration, Lu Bu nodded.

Expected.

Whether it is his Bingzhou Army or the soldiers and horses left by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, there are no sailors.

In this case, Lu Jun's water battle foundation is zero, and everything has to start from scratch. It's no wonder that he can beat the Sun Liu battleship!
Not to mention fighting on the water, it is not easy for northern soldiers not to get seasick!
"General!"

Zhang Liao finally cupped his fists and said:

"Our army wants to wait until the windless winter before crossing the river. As long as the army crosses the river, Sun Ce and Liu Bei are expected to be captured without a fight!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded.

It is autumn now, and there are often storms and waves on the river. For northerners who are not good at boats, crossing the river is even more difficult.

Therefore, Zhang Liao's plan to cross the river in winter when there is no wind is understandable.

But there is no wind in winter, which is only a relative term.

Sometimes, the wind in winter can also be very strong.

For example, in the original time and space, that Chibi southeast wind!

Glancing at Zhuge Liang in the crowd below, Lu Bu smiled and said:

"The south has good water, and the wind prevails regardless of whether it is windy or not. There is not much difference between winter and autumn!"

"You don't need to worry too much!"

With his right elbow resting on the table in front of him, Lu Bu stepped forward and said casually:
"Since Bu is here, it doesn't matter whether there is wind or not!"

"Zhang Liao obey!"

Lu Bu suddenly shouted.

"The end is here!"

Zhang Liao stepped forward, clasped his fists with both hands, leaned his upper body slightly, and waited for Lu Bu's order.

"Choose [-] elite soldiers and enough battleships. Tomorrow, all the troops will board the boats and cross the river with me!"

Lu Bu ordered directly.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, looked up at Lu Bu's face, and immediately replied:

"The end will be ordered!"

What Lu Bu meant was that he wanted to forcibly cross the river. Zhang Liao, who had known the strength of the southern navy for half a year, had to hesitate for a while.
But Lu Bu always said one thing in the army, what he said was the iron law, even if it was death, he must obey it.

Therefore, Zhang Liao responded immediately.

"Wenyou!"

Lu Bu's eyes turned to Li Ru, the military adviser who accompanied the army.

"The end is here!"

Li Ru went out and waited for the order with his hands clasped.
