The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

In the end, their sweetness was broken by the arrival of Jianglong and Fuhu.

Under Zifeng's reluctance, Nie Zefeng still chose to continue on the journey and came to Luoyang.

After returning to Luoyang, Nie Zefeng made a quick strategic deployment.

Nie Zefeng looked at the map and said to the counselor Jia Xu next to him, "Give me a report on the situation of the two sides in the past few days when I am away."

"King Chu, the princes of the [-]th Route have long been fighting together. The princes of Jiangdong, Hanzhong, Yizhou, and Liaodong have already retreated, but there are also some big generals fighting in Xuchang City."

"Well, this is when we officially regain lost ground."

"King Chu, are we ruling out the army's actions now?"

"No, I will send an elite army to recover the lost ground."

"The king is ready to choose."

Nie Zefeng looked back at the "ghost" military adviser and said with a smile, "Let us wait and see."

Outside Luoyang City, beside the bonfire of the Chu army camp.

Night gradually enveloped the entire city of Luoyang. In the entire barracks, Nie Zefeng and several generals sat around the bonfire.All kinds of meat are grilled on skewers over the fire.

Nie Zefeng looked back and saw that the generals present today were Zang Ba, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Liu He, Gan Ning,

Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Bao.

Nie Zefeng saw that Su Fei, Han Hao, and General Li Yan were missing from the generals.

Nie Zefeng said: "General Su Fei was killed, and all my Stepping Army and Falcon Team were also killed. It is realistic to establish it in a short period of time, so I will appoint Jianglong and Fuhu as the commanding generals of the Yulin Army.

Nie Zefeng glanced at Chen Dao and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Chen Dao replied: "I'm not very used to this way of eating."

Nie Zefeng replied: "Then what do you do when you fight?"

Chen Dao replied: "That's not easy, I just need to bring a few cooks along."

Nie Zefeng didn't reproach him, he just said: "—I will have the style of a general!"

By the way, Gao was puzzled and said: "Then your soldiers all have cooks? Is there any general who doesn't share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers?"

Chen Dao retorted: "A general does not necessarily have to be confused with an ordinary soldier. The superior treatment can ensure that the general has extraordinary physical strength and mentality to cope with various pressures and maintain a tenacious determination. This kind of determination is what tired soldiers Most needed!"

Gao Shun shook his head blindly: "I don't understand, I don't understand, I'm going to be stupid."

But Lu Bu took the words and said: "It is still necessary to share weal and woe!"

Chen Dao finally expressed his thoughts: "War is by no means a moral contest. There is only one purpose, and that is to win. If you can't win, the soldiers are benevolent and righteous, and they are useless!"

Lu Bu was speechless at this time.

Nie Zefeng laughed loudly: "I don't think General Chen's request is high, that is, to eat better. I will satisfy you. I will send you a few chefs from Luoyang later. We have agreed, and I guarantee your delicious food. , and you, promise to destroy the land of Xuchang for me and regain all the positions I gave up a while ago!"

Gao Shun was taken aback.

Lu Bu seemed to have noticed that Nie Zefeng, who had returned this time, seemed to be well prepared for the generals in the large-scale circuitous war.

Nie Zefeng added: "Ma Chao and Gao Shun, you all participated in the battle. You two attacked Yanzhou and Qingzhou from the flanks, thinking that you would contain them. General Lu Bu will not go out this time. He will sit in the center and kill chickens with a sledgehammer, ah? What do you think? General Lu Bu?"

Lu Bu heard that Nie Zefeng didn't address him as elder brother, but general. He knew that there are only monarchs and ministers, not brothers, so he replied: "I obey the orders of the king!"

In a rare surprise attack in the history of war, the commander-in-chief was simply determined by the fire.

Nie Zefeng said to Chen Dao: "I will only give you [-] cavalry, but you can choose from the whole army, and you can allocate whatever you like. In a word, you need to prepare carefully. Before going out, I will personally inspect it! Do you understand?" , General Chen!"

Nie Zefeng thought about it this time and then said: "The generals in the army set up the title of general. Everyone doesn't know that you are fighting for it. How about this? If you can make meritorious deeds, you will be promoted to General Xiaoqi."

Chen Dao replied, "The general will understand!"

Chu army camp outside Luoyang city

On the carpeted playground, soldiers from the Chu army battalion were engaged in a tug-of-war competition, and some were practicing under the commander of the school lieutenant.

There are also two phalanxes of soldiers facing each other.

Shouts from all directions shook the sky.

One side wins, one side loses.

Accompanied by Chen Dao, Nie Zefeng dismounted from his horse.

Nie Zefeng happily stood on the horse and waved to the soldiers.

Soldiers swarmed over and surrounded Che Yu with cheers. The soldiers shouted: "King Chu! Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Accompanied by Chen Dao, Nie Zefeng jumped off his horse.

Nie Zefeng went from Chen to inspect the cavalry phalanx along the carpet.

Nie Zefeng stood still and aimed at a knight, pointed at the captain and asked, "What's his name?"

Chen Dao replied triumphantly, "My surname is Chen and my name is Brother Kai. He is the military commander of the last general."

Nie Zefeng looked back at Chen Dao and said with a smile, "That's a good name, don't let it down, I hope your army can sing triumphantly!"

After thanking Chen Kaige excitedly, he replied: "Thank you King Chu for your compliment!"

Nie Zefeng walked forward, stopped again, and looked at a knight: "Why, your equipment is different from others?" Chen Dao: "This is allowed by the general. He was originally a warrior of the Huns, and he is used to using The military weapons of the Huns are not consistent, as long as he uses them to his heart's content!"

Nie Zefeng replied with interest: "Oh, put out all your weapons and let me see them!"

Chen Daomong ordered: "Have you heard that, put it out, and give it to the king for inspection!"

The knight dismounted and quickly took off all kinds of equipment on his body and horse: two crossbows, two quiveres, a curved saber, a hatchet, a short spear with a hook, and an iron hanging from the horse. Mace.

Nie Zefeng smiled after seeing it: "I think you look like a mobile arsenal! In the battle outside Guandu City, we once fought against the Huns cavalry. They were indeed fierce. I hope you can also show your skills on the battlefield."

"Yes, I must kill a few more enemy troops to avenge the victory for the king."

Nie Zefeng continued walking, stopped again and asked, "Why is he so small and thin? Isn't he as tall and strong as other warriors?"

Chen Dao smiled and said: "My lord, this man was selected from the horse-feeding battalion for generals. He is nicknamed 'Yu Tu Tu'. He is very good at identifying water sources in directions. He can find them with his eyes closed and his nose alone. position!"

Nie Zefeng: "Really, that's more odd jobs than a compass?"

All the soldiers laughed when they heard this sentence, including General Chen Dao.

Chen Daozi said frankly: "The knights I chose are all Ye Luzi. My lord, I will introduce you to this one at the end. He will be a knight immediately, and a veterinarian when he dismounts."

Nie Zefeng asked suspiciously, "Veterinarian?"

Chen Dao explained: "This long-distance raid, crossing jungles, plains, and mountains, brought [-] military horses for the general's subordinates, and there was no veterinarian to prevent and treat diseases. How can the physical strength of the military horses be guaranteed? So every battalion A veterinarian is assigned to the generals to be responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of military horses."

Nie Zefeng praised: "Good! Good! Good!"

Nie Zefeng looked at Chen Dao and praised: "Ye Luzi plus Ye Luzi is a new way. Soldiers have impermanence and water has no shape. If you Chen Dao read a little more about Sun Tzu Wu Qi's Art of War, I will think it will be more perfect."

Chen Dao also said proudly: "The last general thinks that marching troops to fight a war is just a matter of strategy. He guides according to the situation and adapts to local conditions. It doesn't necessarily mean that he has to learn the ancient art of war."

Nie Zefeng was startled, and then sighed: "You are the only one who dares to talk like that! You really look like me, in your bones!"

The horn sounded, and Jun Tian was very happy.

Chen Zi waved the flag in the wind.

Military adviser Ma Chen Kaige came galloping on his horse, stood still, and said loudly, "The preparations for the Northern Expedition Corps are complete, and I respectfully invite the King of Chu to review it..." Nie Zefeng, who was paying his respects, said to Chen Dao comfortably, "Let's go and have a look..."

Jun Tianle resounding through the sky.

Nie Zefeng held a grand farewell ceremony for Chen Dao.

Of course, at the same time, the scenery of some people is dim, and the most prominent of these dim people is Lu Bu.

In the garden of Lu Bu's mansion.

Lu Bu, dressed in casual clothes, was playing with all kinds of melons and fruits he had grown himself in the garden, including grapes, watermelons, and broad beans.General Zang Ba, dressed in military uniform, watched him work.

Lu Bu randomly picked a grape for Su Jian to taste.

Lu Bu said a little excitedly: "The king of Chu encouraged us to do these things, but there are not many people planting these things now. How about trying them? I'll try to grow them to pass the time!"

Zang Ba looked around and sighed: "The general's mansion is much colder than I imagined! Just now when I passed by the camp of the Chu army outside the city, the king of Chu personally sent Chen Dao, the light chariot general, to the expedition. That scene It is extremely luxurious, the Emperor Guangguang sent dozens of vehicles for personal food and supplies to General Qingche!"

Lu Bu looked helpless, then raised his head and said with a wry smile, "Really!"

Zang Ba was a little puzzled and asked: "General, why don't you invite some scholars to come to the house? It also saves you from being so lonely."

Lu Bu sighed and said, "Be quiet!"

But Zang Ba persuaded him: "The general has made great achievements and respected his position, but the scholars and officials in the world have not praised you. Wouldn't it be better if you could recruit talents and recommend scholars like some famous generals in ancient times to expand your reputation?"

Lu Bu hastily evaded and said, "Where am I like that? In ancient times, so many famous officials and generals recruited those so-called sages and celebrities, slandering and advocating them, and how many kings in ancient times hated them when they mentioned these things. You know, they treated scholar-bureaucrats well. This is the power of the monarch. As a subject, all I can do is obey the law and obey the law. There is no need to recruit talents! Although the king of Chu has not proclaimed himself emperor, I can feel that By the time the King of Chu is already a king.”
