The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shao asked all the generals for their opinions. After Yuan Shao finished speaking, the generals in the tent expressed their opinions one after another, but all of them were whispering. Of course, most of them were fighting, and they were really at a loss as to how to fight.

Of course, this question also troubled Yuan Shao.

At this time, Jushou walked to the front first, and whispered something in Yuan Shao's ear.

After Yuan Shao listened, he asked with some doubts: "Then Lu Bu is also a cunning blue wolf, will he take the bait?"

Ju Shou persuaded: "Lü Bu's army must be very tired after a long journey. He must also be eager to fight. The king of Chu prepared for this battle for half a year. This is unprecedented. Lu Bu will never retreat without fighting. , since they can take every step of the way, our army can't just sit on the sidelines."

Yuan Shao still asked worriedly: "The battle is imminent. Although we have 30 defenders outside the city, the local regular combat troops have 20 cavalry, and the number of other troops is also about [-]. Compared with the Chu army, The two sides are just evenly matched, and the troops are divided into two groups, I am afraid it will be..."

Ju Shou explained: "The price of soldiers has changed dramatically. I only need [-] cavalry."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao stood up slowly, and then said to the other generals in the big tent: "Mr. Jushou said well, the price of soldiers changes dramatically, and today the general will take a surprise attack."

Yuan Shao suddenly turned his head and looked at Jushou next to him, and continued: "This ambush is not yours, Mr. Jushou, but me. This general wants to go out in person."

Yuan Shao waved the whip in his hand and ordered loudly: "All generals obey orders."

All the generals saw that the general was about to give an order, an order for a decisive battle.

"Han Qiong, Zhang Nan, Jiao Kai, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, generals, you will lead an army of 20 to meet the enemy head-on. This general and Mr. Jushou will lead an army of [-] to face the enemy head-on. It depends on you every step of the way. Already, our Jizhou warriors!"

After Yuan Shao made the announcement, they walked out of the big tent one after another, preparing for the upcoming battle.

There was a smell of blood everywhere on the battlefield of Wolf Smoke. Although the soldiers on both sides had not yet started fighting, everyone could feel the smell of this war.

In the cool twilight of this summer, infantry and cavalry in red armor lined up on the southern hills outside the main battlefield, and the character "Chu" on the big flag was still faintly visible.

The hill to the north of the main battlefield was covered in darkness, and the corps with black flag armor lined up neatly under the banner of the "Yuan" character, waiting in full force, looking angrily at the Chu army on the hill to the south, ready to charge at any time.

The Chu army on the hill to the south also gathered in two cavalry formations, and looked at Yuan Jun on the hill to the north angrily, also ready to charge at any time.

The blood-red sunset is gradually fading, and the two sides are facing each other like this. Neither side retreats nor rushes forward.

Although the two sides did not fight each other, the rumbling drums of war had already resounded throughout the earth, and the fluttering banners also pierced the entire sky.

In the Chu army formation, Lu Bu reined in his red rabbit horse and asked, "Where is Yuan Shao?"

The following general, Zhang Bao, pointed at the large formation of the opposite Chu army with his horsewhip and replied, "It's in the large formation opposite. It's under that handsome banner."

Lv Bu looked forward and saw a large shield in front of the shield, followed by countless bows and arrows, spearmen, followed closely, and then the vast and boundless cavalry guards and chariot corps.

Lu Bu said confidently, "No, that's a false formation."

Zang Ba next to him interjected: "Impossible, there must be 20 troops on the opposite side!"

Lu Bu looked at the opposite side and said meaningfully: "If Yuan Shao was in the formation, would the Jizhou cavalry be so quiet? Stand still and wait for us to attack the formation? Therefore, Yuan Shao must not be in the formation!"

Pei Yuanshao next to him asked, "Then where is he?"

Lü Bu looked around, but couldn't find a place, so he urged his horse to look forward again, and suddenly saw a long mangrove forest. Lü Bu's horsewhip kept making sure, "Look there!"

It is said that some generals turned their eyes to the direction of the mangrove forest, and what was even more amazing was that suddenly, countless birds flew up in the forest, covering the entire sky, and then flew into the distance.

Zhang Jai also judged: "The birds dare not land, so there must be people in this forest."

Lu Bu looked back at the general and said, "This forest is not small, and the group can accommodate a hundred thousand troops. Yuan Shao deliberately arranged an army formation in front of us to attract the main force of our army to attack and exhaust our army's energy. Then use ambushes to attack the rear of our army, forming a front and rear attack, and annihilate our army."

Zhou Cang next to him scolded: "This Yuan Shao is really cunning, what should we do, General Lu Bu?"

Lü Bu reined in the swaying horse and replied: "He's a little tricky with me, so let's do a trick. Immediately hide the main force of our army, and hit the wolf with the head first. I, Lv Bu, won't hit him on the head today. Come with me." "

Lu Bu urged the horse to lead all the generals to the rear army's tent, and then arranged the tasks one by one.

At this time, Lu Bu turned to the adjutant and asked, "Where is Huang Zhong now?"

The lieutenant hurriedly rode forward and reported: "General, General Huang Zhong transported all the luggage here a day ago, and now the entire army, with ten thousand men and horses owed, is resting in the Dazhai at the rear."

Lu Bu said to himself: "I also just met this old general. Our army has already trekked for five days. Only his army has been rested. It's time for this old general to go out."

Lu Bu turned his head and ordered the lieutenant general, "Go and call him to the front flank. I'll wait for him there."

After the deputy general received Lu Bu's order, he went to Dazhai in the rear to deliver the order.

It was just a cup of tea, Huang Zhong urged the horses to come, and the two horses stood on the flanks of the Chu army's formation at the same time, watching Yuan Jun's majestic formation in front of him.

The loud sound of war drums can swallow the whole earth, and the depressing sound of trumpets can mobilize all the fighting spirit. Yuan Jun's phalanx consists of 1000 people, and there are more than 20 people in a row. Praise is mighty......

While watching the formation, Lu Bu spoke first. He said helplessly, "General Huang, you have proposed many times to be a vanguard general, but I have not fulfilled your wish."

"General Lu Bu, I don't like this old man anymore."

"No, it's not that Ben will look down on you, General Huang."

Lu Bu hurriedly took out a secret edict from his pocket, handed it to Huang Zhong and said, "Look, this is the secret edict that King Chu ordered someone to bring to me."

Huang Zhong seemed to have mixed feelings in his heart at this time, and he had already guessed that it was almost inseparable, but Huang Zhong was very annoyed, because in this world, he admired two people the most, one was Nie Zefeng, king of Chu, and the other was Lu Bu, the god of war. But these two people, especially the king of Chu, didn't believe in their abilities in the key battle.

Huang Zhong accepted the edict handed over by Lu Bu in distress, and slowly opened it, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and he began to see the lines of words.

"General Huang Zhong is old and frail and cannot be used as a forward."

This secret edict shattered all Huang Zhong's hopes in an instant, and even extinguished all his private hopes.

Huang Zhong embraced the heavy secret edict with both hands, put it on his heart, and sighed slightly reproachfully, helplessly, and sadly: "But the king of Chu personally promised me to be the vanguard general."

But when Huang Zhong said these words, he couldn't help but blushed, because at this time, everything showed that he could not be the vanguard general, and it was also the order of the King of Chu.

After receiving the imperial edict from Huang Zhong, Lu Bu comforted him, "General Huang, don't need to be sad. The King of Chu is just worried that General Huang is too old to do what he wants?"

Huang Zhong, who had begun to cry a little, nodded, and said helplessly, "Then the old man has nothing to say."

Lu Bu stared straight ahead and told the old general.

"However, today I, Lu Bu, will violate the will of King Chu."

Huang Zhong, who was still in grief just now, heard these words, quickly raised his head and looked at Lu Bu next to him, asking suspiciously: "General, do you want me to be the vanguard general?"

Lu Bu glanced sideways at Huang Zhong, and generously replied, "Today, only you, General Huang, can take on the vanguard general. I'm afraid that other generals won't be able to take on this heavy responsibility."

Huang Zhong suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and immediately bowed to thank Lu Bu for his kindness. Of course, this was a kind of sincere gratitude, because Huang Zhong really wanted to be the vanguard general.

However, Lu Bu looked at the old general opposite him, thinking about how to answer the general.

Huang Zhong was the first to ask, "General, tell me where to launch the attack."

Lu Bu reminded: "General Huang, what I give you is not a piece of fat, but a piece of the hardest bone."

Huang Zhong said in order to win the position of pioneer: "Even if it is a quick rock, my old man will chew it off."

Lu Bu looked at Huang Zhong's high spirits, and told Huang Zhong the overall plan with joy.

"Okay, in order to keep the back pocket well, I can't give you a single soldier, so I will use you to account for [-] army cavalry, but I ask you to attack Yuan Jun at least several times before sunset."

Huang Zhong asked: "Why are there only 8000 people, General, this number is too small, once you get trapped first, you can't get out even if you think about it!"

Lu Bu once again reminded that his strategic intention was to create a momentum for Huang Zhong, the bigger the better the momentum, so that Yuan Shao, who was ambushing in the mangrove forest, would think that the main force of our Chu army was attacking.

At this time, Huang Zhong suddenly realized that Lu Bu was using himself as a bait.But Huang Zhong and Lu Bu also knew that as long as Yuan Shao took the bait today, he would be buried here.

Lu Bu continued to explain: "Your attack can buy time for my large army to attack and detour,"

Under the temptation of the vanguard general, Huang Zhong agreed, and took over the burden of the vanguard general.

When the two said goodbye for the last time, Huang Zhong put forward a condition that his son Huang She stay in Dazhai, and Huang Zhong led his army to attack.

Lu Bu also knew that life or death in this battle was uncertain, so he deliberately used excuses to urge food and grass to transfer Huang She away.

Huang Zhong had his mind on his mind, so he urged his horse forward, and a decisive battle to determine the trend of the world began.
