Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74 Defeat Lu Bu (2)

Li Song led a mighty army into Juye City. When Li Song came to the county government hall, his opponents said, "Today, our army won a complete victory. We killed Li Feng and Xue Lan, and we are one step closer to eliminating Lu Bu." .”

"How about the casualties of our army? What are the results of the battle?"

"My lord! Our army captured Juye City without losing a single soldier. Thanks to Li Yuanba and Zhou Cang, they captured Juye so easily."

"This time, the beheaded generals Li Feng and Xue Lan captured [-] surrendered soldiers. As long as they are scattered and practiced for a while, they can go to the battlefield again." Zhang Liao said.

"Wen Yuan is right! What's going on with the Left and Right Army?" Li Song praised Zhang Liao, and then asked about Xiang Yu and Pei Yuanqing.

"My lord! News came from Mr. Pei that after seeing the smoke, the soldiers and horses stationed at the border of Juye suddenly retreated. Mr. Pei was afraid of being deceived, so he did not dare to pursue them."

"Master Xiang from the left army met Lu Bu who came to reinforce him. The situation is not yet clear. His subordinates have already sent people to investigate. I believe there will be news soon." Zhou Cang said with a salute.

"What's the situation in Juye City now? Can the treasury be counted? What about the arsenal and granary?"

Li Song was not worried at all that Xiang Yu would not be able to deal with Lu Bu, so he didn't bother too much about this, and instead asked about the treasury.

"My lord! When I entered the city, I had already sent someone to take stock, and I think there will be news soon." Zhang Liao said.

"Report! Report to my lord! Outside the lobby door, the people sent by Master Zhang Liao to check the treasury and other matters have returned." A guard walked in outside the door, knelt down on one knee and said.

"Bring him in!" Li Song said.

"No!" The guard got up and saluted, turned around and left the lobby, and brought in a man holding bamboo slips. The guard bowed his hands and retreated to continue guarding the gate.

"My lord! The treasury, arsenal, and granary of Juye City have been counted, and please take a look at it!" The man knelt on one knee and held up the bamboo slips.

Zhou Cang went forward to take the bamboo slips and handed them to Li Song. Li Song took the bamboo slips and spread them out to have a look. It said: The granary is empty!The arsenal is empty!The treasury is empty!the remaining……

Li Song threw the bamboo slips on the table. He really didn't expect that there were no supplies here. "Nowadays, there is not even a single piece of food and grass in Juye City. Let people get some food and grass. Let's talk about it in case of emergency." .”

As soon as the words were finished, the guard came in again, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord! The person who went to inquire about Mr. Xiang has returned, will you call him in?"

"Bring him in and we'll talk!" Li Song said.

"No!" The guard took the order and took the spies outside the door in, then exited the lobby and continued to guard the door.

"My lord! My lords!" The spy knelt down on one knee and bowed to everyone, "Lü Bu heard that Ju Ye was lost, and has already retreated to Dongmin. Lord Xiang led his troops to pursue Lü Bu."

"What? Why is Xiang Yu so reckless! How dare he advance with a single army." Li Song was shocked when he heard this!Naturally, Xiang Yu's strength was not mentioned, but how could he be Chen Gong's opponent? If Chen Gong counted, none of the ten Xiang Yu would be opponents.

"My lord, don't worry! With Lord Xiang's ability, Lu Bu may not be his opponent." Gao Shun cupped his hands.

"Zhongda (Zhongda Gaoshun's word)! I'm not worried about Lu Bu, but I'm worried that Xiang Yu will not be Chen Gong's opponent!" Li Song expressed his worry.

"My lord! Although I don't know Chen Gong well, based on what I know about Lu Bu, he will definitely not miss out on destroying Lord Xiang's lone army, and he will certainly not listen to Chen Gong's words."

"Even if Chen Gong has the power to reach the heavens, there is nothing he can do! Taking Yanzhou is just around the corner." Zhang Liao stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Even so! But we have to defend! Order Pei Yuanqing's right army to kill Xiang Dongmin and join Xiang Yu." Li Song called the messenger and ordered.

"Promise!" The messenger led the order and hurriedly conveyed Li Song's general order to Pei Yuanqing.

"Everyone go down and prepare first! After everything here is settled, we will send troops to attack Lu Bu." Li Song said, and the generals responded and left the hall.

Xiang Yu chased all the way to Dongmin, and set up camp [-] miles away from Dongmin City, waiting for Li Song's army to arrive. He believed that Li Song would definitely send troops to come when he knew that he was alone.

"Report! My lord! The enemy army is camped thirty places away from here!" A soldier ran all the way and knelt down on one knee.

"Okay, you dare to come here! I will let you come and go, pass the order down, and go out of the city to meet the enemy!" Lu Bu jumped up, walked to the weapon rack next to him, took out Fang Tian's painted halberd, and was about to go out the door.

"No!" The soldier stood up hastily, and was about to deliver Lu Bu's order. Chen Gong stopped Lu Bu, stretched out his hand to stop the soldier, and said, "Slow down!"

"Marquis Wen! Now the generals in the city have gone out to raise food. Don't fight them now. When all the generals return, there is still time to fight outside the city!" Chen Gong waved the soldiers to retreat, and the soldiers retreated after clasping their fists. go out.

"The enemy only has more than 1 soldiers and horses, but our army has [-] people. What's more, when will I, Lu Bu, be afraid of others!"

"Now is the best time to defeat them!" After Lu Bu finished speaking, he strode out without waiting for Chen Gong to speak.

Seeing that Lü Bu did not listen to him, Chen Gong couldn't help but feel a little sad. Lv Bu led his troops out of the city and charged towards Xiang Yu's army.

Xiang Yu's camp tent, inside the camp of the Chinese Army.

"Report! According to reports from the spies, Lu Bu has led an army out of Dongmen City and is heading towards our army." A soldier knelt in front of Xiang Yu.

"Beat the drum! Line up! Meet the enemy!" Xiang Yu ordered, got up and took the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd, and walked out of the Chinese army camp.

There are horse-rejection posts in front, spearmen are at the forefront of the formation, swordsmen are behind, and cavalry are on both sides of the army, waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu's army.

"Report! Lu Bu led the cavalry to attack our army! It is less than three miles away from our army." A scout stopped in front of Xiang Yu and reported to Xiang Yu.

"All the cavalry! Charge with me!" Xiang Yu shouted loudly, and the soldiers took the lead in charge, while the cavalry on both wings gathered behind Xiang Yu.

The two armies fought, and both of them were good cavalry commanders. After a fight, Lv Bu's army was defeated, and Lv Bu fled in a hurry, and managed to escape back to Dongmen City.

Then Xiang Yu led his troops to line up outside the city to shout and curse, and the gates of Dongmin City were closed tightly. No matter how much he shouted and cursed, he ignored it. Within a few days, the troops of Pei Yuanqing and Li Song came one after another to join forces with Xiang Yu , Prepare to attack Lu Bu's army in Dongmen City.
