The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 69 069 Wen Hou Lu Bu
The army with the banner of "Lu" is galloping from the northwest to Juancheng. The leader is wearing a white robe, a silver helmet and silver armor. His bronze face is sharp and angular, like a knife and an axe. Silver light flashed in his eyes, sharp as a blade.

Under his crotch is a huge fiery red war horse, with strong muscles, well-proportioned figure, strong hooves, and flying mane when running, like a ball of dancing fire, very handsome.

In his hand he held a Fangtian painted halberd, about one foot and three feet long, which shone coldly in the morning light.

This knight is the commander-in-chief of this army. His surname is Lu Mingbu, and his style name is Fengxian. He is from Jiuyuan, Wuyuan County.

Lu Bu worked for Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo successively, and soon after, he conspired with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, who was disastrous to the country and the people, and was named General Fenwu and Marquis Wen.

Later, Lv Bu was counterattacked by Dong Zhuo's old troops. He was defeated and withdrew from Chang'an, and fled to Kanto with the remnants of his troops.He took the lead to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu thought that Lu Bu was a repeated villain and refused to accept Lu Bu.As a last resort, Lu Bu went to join Yuan Shao again.

At this time Yuan Shao was in the midst of a bitter battle with the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan. He was overjoyed to hear that Lu Bu had led the crowd to vote, and he used Lu Bu's bravery to defeat the Black Bandit.But later, because Lu Bu was proud of his meritorious service, he sent troops to plunder, which aroused Yuan Shao's disgust. Yuan Shao's counselors even suggested that Yuan Shao kill Lu Bu.

But Yuan Shao sent troops in pursuit, unwilling to let Lü Bu go. Afraid that Zhang Yang would be implicated by him, Lü Bu led his men away and crossed the Yellow River south to Chenliu.

Unexpectedly, when he first arrived in Chenliu, he was warmly received by Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, and everyone even unanimously elected him as the shepherd of Yanzhou.Lu Bu, who had been living under the fence, seemed to have suddenly received the favor of heaven. Without thinking about it, he immediately accepted the invitation of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, and established himself as the shepherd of Yanzhou.

Although Chen Gong is the prefect of Dongjun, it is a pity that he has no real power, and all the soldiers and horses are in the hands of Zhechong Xiaowei Xiahou Dun.Chen Gong heard that Lu Bu had crossed south from Hanoi to the territory of Chenliu, so he rushed to Chenliu from Puyang at Xingye and persuaded Zhang Miao to welcome Lu Bu.After Zhang Miao agreed, he sent someone to bring Lu Bu to Chen Liu.

Lü Bu reorganized his troops in Chenliu and showed off his glory, leaving Zhang Miao and a few people to guard Chenliu. He led a large army, and with Chen Gong as his military adviser, he moved to various places in a few days, and captured the Yuan Dynasty with lightning speed. Ju, Dingtao, Juyang, Lihu and other places.

Afterwards, Lu Bu directed his troops directly at Puyang, and used Chen Gong's strategy to open the city gate, defeat Xiahou Dun, occupy Puyang in one fell swoop, and surrendered many Cao soldiers, until there was a lot of food, grass and luggage.

Originally, Lu Bu wanted to defend Puyang, but was dissuaded by Chen Gong. On Chen Gong's suggestion, he led the crowd to attack Cao Cao's lair, Juancheng.

Lu Bu galloped all the way with his army, and finally arrived here in Pingming today, but he didn't expect that there was another army from the southeast heading towards Juancheng.

"Whose soldiers and horses are those?" Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, pointed towards the southeast, and turned his head to ask.

Following closely behind Lu Bu was Chen Gong. He took a closer look at the soldiers and horses, and it turned out to be Xuzhou soldiers.With a look of surprise on his face, he lost his voice and said, "Why did Xuzhou soldiers appear here? Shouldn't they be fighting Cao Cao in Xuzhou?"

"A Xuzhou soldier?" Lu Bu asked.

Chen Gongdao: "Yes, it's Xuzhou soldiers, it's unmistakable."

He took another look at the banner of the soldiers and horses, it was "Zhang" with white characters on a red background, his brows furrowed, and he guessed, "Could it be Zhang Yan?"

Lu Bu asked, "Kongtai knows this person?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "I don't know him. I have only heard about his deeds, but I have never seen him. Last year Cao Cao went to attack Xuzhou, and I heard that it was because of him that he was forced to retreat. This time Cao Cao planned to attack Xuzhou again. They wanted to attack from Pengcheng, but because there was this person stationed in Pengcheng, they changed the attack route. However, Cao Cao was still a little worried, so he left [-] troops stationed in Gaoping County, under the leadership of Cao Ren, with the purpose of guarding against this person. "

"Hearing what you said, I really want to get to know this person."

"My lord, I'm just guessing. I don't know if the commander-in-chief of the army flying the banner with the word 'Zhang' is really Zhang Yan?"

"Whether it's true or not, it's Xuzhou soldiers who came anyway. I think their purpose should be the same as ours. They are Juancheng. Since they are not enemies, they are friends. You and lead the army to continue to Juancheng. I will go to meet you." Commander of this army!"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Chen Gong to answer, Lu Bu pinched the red rabbit horse under the seat with both legs, shouted "drive", and galloped out.

Riding alone, Lu Bu galloped towards Zhang Yan and the others.

Zhang Yan had noticed Lu Bu's figure a long time ago, and observed him carefully. From head to toe, he saw Lu Bu thoroughly.

Fang Tian's painting of a halberd, the blood-red red rabbit horse, and his elegant figure are enough to prove that this knight is the one he guessed in his heart: Lu Bu.

The red rabbit horse under Lu Bu can travel thousands of miles a day, and the distance between the two armies is only a few miles. Lu Bu quickly galloped to the vicinity of Zhang Yan and others. He reined in the horse, looked at Zhang Yan's Xuzhou soldiers from a distance, and said He shouted, "Dear Lu Bu, who is your commander-in-chief?"

"It really is Lu Bu!" When Zhang Yan heard Lu Bu's name, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He hastily reined in his horse and ordered the army to stop, while he rode his horse a few steps forward and shouted at Lu Bu, "I am their commander."

"Report your name!" Lu Bu yelled.

"Xiaoqi General Zhang Yan, I have met General Lu!" Zhang Yan said respectfully.

After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed loudly, and said to Zhang Yan, "It's really you! I've heard your name before, and I just want to ask you one thing. What are you leading the troops to Juancheng for?"

"Why did General Lu come to Juancheng?"

"Of course I came to attack Juancheng. If you are also here to attack Juancheng, then we are really like-minded."

Zhang Yan saw that Lu Bu's words and demeanor were forthright, giving people a kind of approachable feeling, not at all like a hero who dominates one side.It is even more unimaginable that the person in front of him is actually number one in the world.

"General Lu, we are indeed like-minded, and I am also here to attack Juancheng."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Since you and I share the same goals, why not attack Juancheng together. I will attack the north gate, and you will attack the south gate. Our two armies will work together, and I believe we will be able to capture Juancheng in a short time."

"Exactly what I want!"

Lu Bu punched Zhang Yan, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "General Zhang, I'll wait for you in Juancheng, I hope you won't keep me waiting!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu turned his horse's head, shouted "Jia", and quickly left in the dust.

Seeing that Lu Bu was gone, Yu Jin said to Zhang Yan, "My lord, there is a hint of sarcasm in Lu Bu's words, and the tone is too arrogant..."

"Lv Bu is among the people, and Chitu is among the horses. This is his arrogance. Wen doesn't need to take it to heart. Let's attack Juancheng quickly, and don't miss this opportunity."

"Here!"

Lu Bu was on his way, and soon caught up with Chen Gong and the others, and said to Chen Gong: "Zhang Yan is a hero, and his speech and demeanor are more like a general. If it is as Gongtai just said, Zhang Yan is a man who makes people feel good. Cao Cao has a headache for him, so if this person can be used by me, then why should I be afraid of Cao Cao?"

Chen Gong heard that Lu Bu had intended to recruit Zhang Yan, so he asked, "My lord, do you want to recruit Zhang Yan?"

"Exactly. Gongtai, is there any way you can get Zhang Yanlai to work under my account?"

Chen Gong frowned, and said to Lu Bu: "My lord, the top priority should be to capture Juancheng first. Let's put Zhang Yan's matter aside for the time being. When Juancheng is captured, I will naturally find a way to get Zhang Yan to join us." My lord."

"It's best like this. Pass down the order, and the whole army will rush to the north gate and leave the south gate for Zhang Yan to attack. After entering the city, they must not make enemies with Xuzhou soldiers."

"What? My lord, you asked Xuzhou soldiers to attack Juancheng too?" Chen Gong was extremely surprised when he heard this.

"Gongtai, is there something wrong?" Lu Bu asked.

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "My lord, although Xuzhou soldiers are not hostile to our army, they are definitely not allies of our army. If Cao Cao's family falls into Zhang Yan's hands after the capture of Juancheng, what will my lord use to threaten them?" Cao Cao? Besides, Juancheng is Cao Cao's lair, where money and food are collected widely. If Xuzhou soldiers get more wealth than us, wouldn't our trip be worth the loss?"

Lü Bu waved his hands and said, "How much wealth can a small town have? Can it be more than Puyang? Besides, to deal with Cao Cao, there is no need to hold Cao Cao's family hostage. With my bravery, it is enough to make Cao Cao frightened! That's it for this matter!"

Although Chen Gong was not very willing in his heart, he could see Lu Bu's arrogance. In addition, he had just met Lu Bu and was not very familiar with him.

So, he didn't say anything anymore, followed Lu Bu closely, and headed for Juancheng.

In a short time, Lu Bu's army arrived at the city of Juancheng. Lu Bu rode out and shouted at the tower of Juancheng, "Listen, I am Lu Bu. If you don't want to die, open the city gate and surrender. Otherwise, Juancheng will be flattened, and no chicken or dog will be left behind!"

"Shoot the arrows!" Xiahou Dun, who had retreated from Puyang's defeat on the city tower, immediately ordered when he saw Lu Bu shouting outside.

Arrows rained down and shot at Lu Bu one after another.It's a pity that Lu Bu was so fast that he took a few steps back, and the arrow fell completely in front of him without any damage.

Lu Bu looked at Xiahou Dun who was commanding the battle on the tower, and said angrily, "So you came here! Since you want to seek death, then I will fulfill you! Siege the city!"

Following Lu Bu's order, the cavalry behind them swarmed up one after another, each holding a big bow, rushed to the bottom of the city and shot arrows towards the tower. They were skilled in bows and horses, and shot a Cao soldier with one arrow. In a short while, many Cao soldiers on the tower were killed.

The cavalry retreated immediately after shooting an arrow, and the infantry behind them, led by General Gao Shun, rushed to the bottom of the city carrying the ladder, erected the ladder on the wall, and began to climb up.
