Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106 The ideal is plump and the reality is skinny
Besides, Lu Bu couldn't find a way out from Yuan Shu, so he had to go to Yuan Shao again. In his mind, Er Yuan was the most powerful and most likely to succeed among the Kanto princes.

Yuan Shu did not accept Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao also had the same idea.Yuan Shao was very jealous of Lu Bu, fearing that keeping Lu Bu by his side would be bad for him, so not only did he not want to accept Lu Bu, he even wanted to kill him.Yuan Shao's subordinates were afraid that Lu Bu's arrival would affect their status, so they tried their best to persuade Yuan Shao to get rid of Lu Bu.Counselor Guo Tu thought of killing two birds with one stone and killing people with a knife.

Guo Tu said to Yuan Shao: "Your Majesty fought against Gongsun Zan as soon as he acquired Jizhou. Now that the army is exhausted, we have to beware of Gongsun Zan's attack again. Now that the Black Mountain Army is frequently harassing Jizhou, why not let Lu Bu go to conquer the Black Mountain Army? No matter who wins the two Defeat is all beneficial to me and harmless. By the time they are almost finished fighting, our army has already rested, and we can do whatever we want."

Although what Guo Tu said at the end was very subtle, Yuan Shao understood it as soon as he heard it, and applauded.So Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu to see Lu Bu, and gave a symbolic amount of limited food and grass, but did not send any more troops to Lu Bu.

When Guo Tu saw Lu Bu, he gave full play to his eloquence and said to Lu Bu: "Mr. Wen came to Jizhou for the first time, and he didn't know much about Jizhou. General Yuan just took over Jizhou Mu and fought with Gongsun Zan. Now Jizhou is waiting for everyone. Xing, he couldn't spare time to see you, so he sent me here. General Yuan and I both know Wen Hou's ability very well. He often praised you for being brave and invincible. The generals don’t know you well, even if General Yuan persuades them, it’s hard to keep these people from being dissatisfied, so please Wen Hou understand General Yuan’s difficulties.”

Lu Bu squinted at Guo Tu and said, "Anyone who is dissatisfied can come to me and we can compete." Hmph, I specialize in all kinds of dissatisfaction!

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. We are all one family now. Swords and guns have no eyes. Don't hurt your friendship. Marquis Wen knows that our army has just defeated the invincible Gongsun Zan, and these generals are all men of merit."

"Then what do you mean?" Lu Bu was a little unhappy. Is this trying to suppress me with military achievements?

"All the generals have made meritorious deeds, so they are dissatisfied because Wenhou did not make contributions to Jizhou. I offer a strategy for Wenhou: the Black Mountain Army has harmed Jizhou for many years, and the people of Jizhou hate them to the bone. If Wenhou can wipe out the Black Mountain Army, The generals will be convinced by you, the people will be grateful to you, and the whole Jizhou will recognize and appreciate you."

"The little Black Mountain Army is nothing to worry about." Lu Bu didn't take the Black Mountain Army seriously, but he also had doubts: "It's just why the Black Mountain Army has been able to harm Jizhou for many years? Why didn't Yuan Benchu ​​send troops to destroy it?"

"Jizhou was originally under the rule of Han Fu, and General Yuan had just taken over. This coincided with Gongsun Zan's attack and he did not take care of it. Now that the battle is over, he is ready to use troops. I asked General Yuan to leave the credit to Wenhou and give Marquis Wen sent food and grass. General Yuan also wanted to allocate more troops to you, but I felt that relying on troops and horses to win would not show your ability, so I discouraged General Yuan, and with Marquis Wen's ability, I will live up to General Yuan's entrustment." Guo Tu is cheap and good-looking.

"Sir, don't worry. To deal with the Montenegro army, my headquarters has enough troops! Just go back and report to me, sir. Please wait for the good news. General, please allocate the food and grass as soon as possible." Lu Bu was fooled by Guo Tu.He knew very well that he had to agree if he didn't agree, even if it was just for Yuan Shao to provide food and grass.

The leader of the Black Mountain Army was named Zhang Yan, from Changshan Zhending, whose original surname was Chu.When the Yellow Turban Army raised troops, Zhang Yan gathered together young men from his hometown to form a group of bandits. Because Zhang Yan was fast in defense, he was called "Feiyan" in the army.Later, Zhang Yan sent people to the capital to beg for a surrender, and he was named General of Ping Nan. Millions, Jizhou people call them black bandits.

There are so many soldiers in Montenegro, they can't set up a big camp at all. When they saw Lu Bu's soldiers and horses coming, they gathered together to meet the enemy. Seeing that there were only a few thousand people on Lu Bu's side, they all laughed secretly at Lu Bu's overestimation, even if he was sleepy. Trapped Lu Bu to death.

Lu Bu is worthy of being the number one fierce general, and he has a lot of experience in cavalry combat.It doesn't matter if the number of soldiers is small, he divided his generals into several teams, each with fifty cavalry, one team attacked, and the other teams rested. When this team came back, it was replaced by another team, taking turns to attack Zhang Yan's army formation.He asked the teams not to be greedy for military exploits, but only ask for one word "quick" back and forth, and leave after one hit.

The warriors under Lu Bu were unambiguous at all, and the advantages of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry were fully demonstrated. After each team rushed to the front of the Black Mountain army and delivered a blow, they immediately retreated. Sometimes three or four times a day.

The Montenegrin army was caught off guard by this tactic, and not many people died every time, but it made people panic.Zhang Yan, who was in a state of desperation, prepared to ambush several times, trying to surround and eliminate these squads, but each cavalry came too fast, and his subordinates were not well-trained and coordinated, so they could only watch each other come and go freely.

Zhang Yan mobilized his men to dig trenches, build earth walls and set up roadblocks in front of the formation.However, every time Lu Bu personally led the charge, they came and went like lightning, and the red rabbit horse leaped over the earth wall and flew across the trench like walking on the ground. Under the leadership of Lu Bu and the two generals on the left and right, these small teams were like awls, unstoppable, Can't hold it.

After fighting for more than ten days in a row, the Black Mountain Army was tortured to the point of death, with no morale. No one wanted to step forward and become a target of Lu Bu's army.Zhang Yan finally couldn't bear the toss. After all, his team was composed of refugees and thieves. He was worried that if this continued, his camp would be bombed. He didn't dare to confront Lu Bu again. The whole army led the refugees into the Taihang Mountains.

In this battle, although the Black Mountain Army was not wiped out, but they were forced into the mountains, Lu Bu felt that he had made great achievements in battle, so he repeatedly asked Yuan Shao to increase his army, and asked Yuan Shao to send troops to Guanzhong to rescue the emperor.

Yuan Shao was even more afraid of Lv Bu's talent, fearing that Lv Bu would become stronger, so he refused to agree.Lu Bu gradually felt uneasy. Yuan Shao was making use of him. He sent someone to look for Guo Tu.

Lu Bu became more and more convinced that Yuan Shao was uneasy and kind, and decided to leave Yuan Shao to find another way out.After much deliberation, he personally asked Yuan Shao to return to Luoyang.This time, Yuan Shao finally agreed to his request and appointed Lv Buling Sili Xiaowei in the name of the emperor.

want to go?It's not that easy!Lu Bu went out with his front foot, and Guo Tu came up to Yuan Shao with his back foot.Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu: "You only completed half of the proposal last time, now Lu Bu is leaving, what should I do?
