Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55 Tactical Master
The army moved forward like a dragon and snake, drawing a black track on the ground.

Well equipped, high morale, and orderly, the Lv Bu army officers and men are full of confidence, believing that under the leadership of the invincible commander-Wenhou Lv Bu, they will surely win another victory against the Xiliang forces.

Although marching in Guanzhong, there were still a small number of scouts to explore the surrounding area. After a day's march, the army quickly moved forward to Chiyang County where Li Su was stationed.

Marquis Wen led the army to come!The army has arrived!The soldiers of Chiyang County cheered loudly.Li Su came out to welcome Lu Bu actively, and followed behind Lu Bu, "House Wen! Hou Wen is finally here!" He said happily, and at the same time he did not forget to introduce the military situation.

"Long time no see!" Lu Bu said with a smile. After all, he is from the same village. As long as he is loyal and doesn't make big mistakes due to greed, Lu Bu will treat him with a good attitude.

"It is reported that there are about 7 people in the combined army of Ma Teng and Han Sui. If Guo Fan's several thousand people are added, there will be even more. They are still on the way and will arrive in the area of ​​Linjing, the prefecture of Anding, in a few days. And it will take us five days to reach Xinping County where Lu Fang is located." Li Su said.

"Between Xinping County and Linjing County, there is also Hanpiao County, which is just in the middle of the two places, and it is a one-day journey." Jia Xu is from Liangzhou, and the geography is very clear, reminding him.

It's not too late, the military situation is urgent, then march as usual after a rest!Arrived in Xinping County five days later!
Lu Bu made a decision.

The scouts were dispatched quickly and began to contact Lu Fang's troops, and the army also moved out as usual.After leaving Guanzhong, there is the Loess Plateau. The further you go to the northwest, the more desolate the scenery becomes.From the bustling city - Chang'an City area, to the ordinary city - Xinping County.Relatively speaking, the number of people has decreased, and business travelers and pedestrians on the avenue are also scarce.

Lu Bu silently observed both sides of the marching road, and could see that the terrain was getting higher and higher, and the land turned from black to light yellowish brown, which was the transition from fertile to barren.As far as the eye can see, there are gentle plains and undulating plateaus at first, and the developed farmland is also sparse.

In the agricultural age, land is life. Less farmland means less population, and less population means less taxation, national power, and military power.

At this time, the cold wind blows from the northwest, and the dry leaves of many plants flutter with the wind, accompanied by some white dandelion seeds, but there is not much wind and sand. In the Han Dynasty, there was no desertification in the northwest, and there were no flying sandstorms. Plenty of vegetation.The earth turns from withered yellow color to withered black color, autumn passes and winter comes.

In the army, the neighing of war horses sounded from time to time, and the occasional shouts of soldiers made the journey a little monotonous and boring, and the continuous march also brought a little fatigue.

Lu Bu has done a good job. The northwest is bitterly cold. Under such an environment, logistics is a problem. About 4 horses are very appropriate. If there are 10 horses, it will be very difficult before the battle is fought.

A few days later, they finally arrived in Xinping County.Through the scouts, Lu Fang, who got in touch, led some soldiers and horses to form a formation near the county seat to welcome Lu Bu's arrival.

"Marquis Wen!" He took the lead in cheering, and the soldiers responded enthusiastically. Even the cold weather was warmed by this atmosphere.

"Lu Fang! Well done, you've worked hard!" Lu Bu stared at the more powerful cavalry troops, and then looked around. The cold wind was blowing, dead branches and weeds were flying, listening to the howling northwest wind, feeling The desolate and desolate atmosphere here, can't help but speak.

However, the size and population of Xinping County were acceptable. Later, this area was established as Xinping County.

Among the tens of thousands of soldiers, many soldiers came to such a far place for the first time, and they were also very curious, looking at and feeling everything here.It is about [-] miles away from Chang'an City.But for those Xiliang soldiers, they are so familiar, they are so close to the truth of their hometown!
Lu Bu sent an order to set up camp, and it was impossible for the entire army to enter the city. After everything was dealt with, Lu Bu, accompanied by Lu Fang, entered the city with a group of generals, personal soldiers, and thousands of people from the trapped camp.

"Okay! The military situation is urgent, and this Marquis will not be polite. Zhang Liao ordered you to take over the command of the army, under the banner of Ben Marquis, to stand against Ma Teng and Han Sui and others! Our army is elite, but The number of people is slightly small, and the main focus is on defense, depending on the situation of the battle! You don't have to stick to the words of this Marquis!" Lu Bu said in a startling way.

"Ah? What? This is Marquis Wen?" The generals couldn't help being surprised when they heard this.

"During this period of time, Guanzhong was resting and recuperating, gathered more than a thousand war horses, and brought them all. Now, each department immediately selects riders and organizes a cavalry team of 1000! Together with Lu Fang's 4000 cavalry and Ben Hou's 1200 Bingzhou iron cavalry, 1000 Xiliang cavalry, forming an all-cavalry unit!" Lu Bu continued.

"Marquis Wen? Why is that?" Lu Fangqi asked, and everyone listened eagerly, waiting for the answer from Lu Bu.

"The Qiang people made rebellion, harmed my people, and approached the hinterland of Chang'an. How can I just let it go? I will lead the [-] cavalry to attack them!" Lu Bu said seriously.

"Here, Marquis Wen, it is said that there are tens of thousands of Qiang people? Wouldn't it be too much to force seven thousand cavalry? Moreover, this place is more than 600 miles away from Fengyi County!" Zhang Liao said, for his own command With 8000 troops to fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui's [-] coalition forces, they were not too worried, but they were concerned about Lu Bu's plan.

"Yes, Marquis Wen!" The crowd said quickly, chattering in unison.

"As the saying goes, surprise and surprise! The Marquis let out the news in Chang'an City to welcome the Ma Teng allied forces, and ignored the Qiang people. The Qiang people should know. Now, six days have passed, they must think that the Marquis has arrived in Anding County. Hundreds of miles away, fighting with Ma Teng and others, so that you will be more daring and unprepared!" Lu Bu said, confident.

"Besides, the Qiang people are mixed, without discipline and organization. The strong and young of the clan are mixed together. Although they are very powerful, they are nothing more than the local chicken Wagouer! I led the cavalry, looking for opportunities to defeat them in one fell swoop! If you lose, You can also safely return to Chang'an, unite the tens of thousands of soldiers there, and go to destroy them!" Lu Bu had already had a plan, and only now did he tell the whole story.

"That's how it is! Marquis Wen leads the army, you can't judge it with common sense! This is very bold, but it also has a great chance of winning! I'm waiting for Marquis Wen to come back with a big victory!" Jia Xu said.

After hearing Lu Bu's explanation, everyone felt relieved.

"Wen Yuan, your military order is also very important! I will leave it to you! All generals must obey the order! Those who do not obey will be executed!" Lu Bu said solemnly again.

"No!" Everyone answered the order one after another.

"Although Xinping County is not big, there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses, everyone..." Lu Fang, who had stayed here for several months, hurriedly told some key things.

After some operations, everything was ready, and Lu Bu quietly left Xinping County with Lu Fang and more than [-] cavalry.As for Jia Xu and Li Ru, they were both taken by him. It is better to bring these two smart people!For Zhang Liao's ability, Lu Bu still trusted. Before defeating Li Jue and Guo Fan, Zhang Liao was the last to perform, followed by Xu Huang, Gao Shun and others.
