Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Defeat Lu Bu (1)

"Call everyone here, I want to discuss with you about sending troops to attack Lu Bu." Li Song said to Zhou Cang.

"No!" Zhou Cang replied, retreated, and called all the generals and military advisers to come to discuss, and soon, everyone came one after another.

"Now that Cao Cao has left Yanzhou, it is the best time to defeat Lu Bu first. Let us know what you think." Li Song looked at the people present and said.

"My lord! Since Cao Cao left Yanzhou, Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e must be empty. Why didn't our army attack these three cities directly, but attacked Lu Bu?" Zhang Liao asked suspiciously.

"Wen Yuan! My lord has his own reasons for doing this! As subordinates, how can you question my lord's decision?" Pei Yuanqing stood up and said.

"I'm not questioning my lord's decision, but I just feel that we should give up Cao Cao's army, which is weak in strength, instead of attacking Lv Bu, who is far away." Zhang Liao retorted.

"Okay!" Li Song looked at the two men who showed signs of tearing apart and said, "Cao Cao is good at using troops, and with Xiahou Dun and other good generals and Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other counselors to assist him, it is natural that everything has been arranged long ago. "

"If our army attacks these three places, we will definitely have to pay a higher price. If we can't take these three places in a short period of time, it will be even more difficult for Cao Cao to win after he returns to his division."

"As the commander-in-chief, how can I make fun of the lives of the soldiers, so I choose Lu Bu as the target of attack!" Li Song said, if Lu Bu knew that Li Song regarded him as a soft persimmon, he might vomit blood.

"According to the detailed report! Li Feng and Xue Lan of the Tunbing and Juye are the weakest in Lu Bu's army, so our army will go first and take them to sacrifice the flag." Li Song continued.

"My lord! Since our army has decided to send troops to attack Lu Bu, I'm afraid Cao Cao's army will not sit idly by. If we reinforce Lu Bu at that time, who will stop it?" Gao Shun stood up and saluted with fists clasped.

"I've already thought about this matter. I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it!" Li Song looked at Gao Shun and said, Gao Shun clasped his fists after hearing this, and retreated.

"Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, you two lead [-] soldiers and horses, and add [-] new troops as the vanguard. I personally lead [-] soldiers and horses, and add [-] new troops to delay."

"Pei Yuanqing and Xiang Yu each led [-] troops, plus [-] new troops as the left and right troops, to prevent Lv Bu and Dongmin's Chen Gong from coming to help." Li Song ordered.

"No!" All the generals clasped their fists and saluted, and responded.

"Two military advisers, this time, we need two of you to dispatch food and grass for our army, make plans, and ensure logistics, so that our soldiers can go to kill the enemy without hesitation!" Li Song said to Liu Bowen and Xu Maogong.

"Please don't worry, my lord! With my two brothers at home, nothing can go wrong." Liu Bowen stroked his beard, shook his feather fan lightly and smiled, and Xu Maogong nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Let's all get ready! Let's go after a stick of incense!" Li Song said.

"No!" Everyone responded, clasped their fists in a salute, and retreated.

Li Song ordered people to bring the four treasures of the study, spread out the paper, grind the ink, and write on the paper with a pen. After writing, fold it, put it in a bamboo tube and seal it, and then called a messenger.

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up! Give this thing to Xue Rengui quickly! Let him follow the above instructions." Li Song said to the messenger.

"Promise!" The messenger reached out to take the bamboo tube from Li Song, carried it on his back, and took the order to leave.

Li Song led the army straight to Juye, and when they arrived at Juye, they lined up outside Juye County, preparing to attack the city.

"Brother Li! The enemy has already hit the door of the house, what do you think should be done?" On the top of the city, Xue Lan looked at the waves of banners and the forest of swords and guns outside the city, and said to Li Feng next to him.

"What else can we do? The two of you and I will go out of the city to try their strength." Li Feng took his weapon from the hand of the guard next to him - the painted halberd, and turned to the guard, "Go and light the wolf smoke and report to Marquis Wen News!" After saying that, he went down to the city, and Xue Lan had no choice but to follow him down the city.

"Promise!" The guards took the order to go, and the smoke in the city soon rose. Li Song looked at the rising smoke, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Proceed with the order! Prepare to attack the city!" Li Song said to the orderly soldiers beside him, and the orderly soldiers galloped away and quickly conveyed Li Song's orders.

At this time, the gate of Juye City was slowly opened, and Li Feng and Xue Lan led the troops to come out of the city and set up a formation outside the city.

"I am Li Feng, the general under Marquis Wen's tent. You bastards, who dares to come out and fight me!" Li Feng rode out of the formation alone, holding a painting halberd, pointed at Li Song's army formation, and shouted loudly.

"This Li Feng is really arrogant. He dared to see our army as unmanned, Yuanba! You go and meet him for a while!" Li Song looked at Li Feng who came to challenge him, and said to Li Yuanba.

"Horrible!" Li Yuanba's legs crossed the chasing wind's white-spotted Wanli dragon horse, and it went towards Li Feng. The two horses had intercourse, and Li Feng was smashed to death by Li Yuanba.

Seeing this, Xue Lan was frightened out of her wits, and hastily turned her horse's head and headed towards the city. Zhou Cang rushed out from the side, fought with Xue Lan for several rounds, and was beheaded by Zhou Cang under the horse.

Li Song took the opportunity to mobilize a large army to attack the city. With no leader among the dragons, the guards gave up resistance and surrendered to Li Song one after another.

Seeing the smoldering fire, Lu Bu hurriedly ordered his soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Juye City. On the way, he met Xiang Yu who was ordered to stop him, but there was no movement in Chen Gong in Dongmin.

"Set up the formation!" Lu Bu held up Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted loudly. The army quickly set up a circular formation.

Today, I will capture you alive and hand them over to the lord. Xiang Yu looked at Lu Bu in the distance, raised the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd in his hand, and prepared to charge.

A fast horse came galloping from a distance, and galloped towards Lu Bu's army. Not far from Lu Bu, the horse stopped, clasped fists on the horse and saluted, "Mr. Wen! Mr. Chen Gong asked me to come and tell Wen Hou, Juye is doomed to fall, please Wenhou go to Dongmin and join him!"

"What?" Lu Bu asked in disbelief. He didn't believe that Li Feng and Xue Lan would be defeated so quickly. Just as Lu Bu was hesitating, Xiang Yujun on the opposite side came to kill him.

"Report!" A rider galloped over and stopped his horse in front of Lu Bu, "Report to my lord! Juye City fell, and Li Feng and Xue Lan were beheaded by the enemy."

"Let's go! The whole army retreats and heads to Dongmen!" Lu Bu didn't expect that Juye would be lost so soon. Seeing Xiang Yu getting closer, Lu Bu decisively led the army to retreat and retreated to Dongmen to meet Chen Gong.

Seeing Lv Bu's army retreating, Xiang Yu hurriedly led the army to pursue and kill them all the way to Dongmin. Lv Bu personally stayed behind and fought with Xiang Yu's army, losing some soldiers and horses. Lv Bu was injured. Rescue, Lu Bu may be more ill-fortune than good.
