Chapter 279 New Strategy

Chapter 279

"Cheng Pu is really good at acting. This performance is really good. If we hadn't known the joints in it, we would have thought that Hu Yu really brought troops to the camp. Looking at the fire in the distance and listening to the sound of shouting with the wind, Huang Gai couldn't help admiring.

"This formation looks not small. It's not that Hu Zhen really came to rob the camp." Sun Jian also said doubtfully, but in any case, at this point, Sun Jian didn't have time to think too much, so he could only let his plan continue to implement.

The next day, when Yuan Shu arrived with other princes, he saw that the place where Sun Jian had camped had become a piece of scorched earth, and there were many dead bodies and blood stains mixed in it.

"It seems that the battle last night was very fierce." After watching the scene, Yuan Shu said worriedly.

"This Sun Jian is stubborn and good at killing ministers. He also deserves this retribution. I think there is nothing to be proud of after his defeat." Kong Yu, the assassin of Yuzhou, said with gloating. Since Sun Jian was named the governor of Yuzhou by Dong Zhuo, Kong Yu has been restless, afraid that Sun Jian will take his place, but now that he sees Sun Jian's defeat, Kong Yu is finally relieved.

"Although Sun Jian has a lot of problems, he is now defeated. I don't know whether to live or die. It will be difficult for us to fight in the future." Yuan Shu frowned and said with a sigh.

"The rear general is relieved. Although Sun Jian is missing, our soldiers are strong and strong. It doesn't take a few days. We can definitely take Wancheng and then go to Luoyang." Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, said that he didn't care. Although Sun Jian is strong, he is only one of the princes. Even if Sun Jian is really defeated, it will have little impact on the princes.

"Sun Jian's defeat this time shows that Hu Jin is also a person. If the order goes down, all kinds of princes will attack Wancheng side by side, so as not to be defeated by the enemy." Yuan Shu preached the order.

At this time, Lv Bu and the generals on the other side finally arrived in Xingyang.

"The young general met General Lu Bu, General Hua Xiong. My subordinates were ordered to wait for the two generals here and brought the military order of the Prime Minister to the two generals. Seeing Lv Bu and others coming to Xingyang, a general immediately ran over and saluted Lv Bu and Hua Xiong deeply.

"What military order does the Prime Minister have? Tell me quickly." Seeing the soldier moving forward, Lv Bu said.

"The Prime Minister had an order to order General Lv Bu to temporarily garrison Xingyang, block the pursuit of the princes and horses, and gather the scattered troops of our army as much as possible. As for General Hua Xiong, the Prime Minister ordered General Hua Xiong to lead his troops to the Hu Prison Pass first and escort the Prime Minister back to Luoyang. It turned out that after the defeat in Zhongmou, Dong Zhuo came all the way to Xingyang, so he asked Fan Chou to organize Xingyang's soldiers to escort him to the Hu Prison Pass. However, at this time, there were not many people around Dong Zhuo, and he was afraid that after he went back like this, Li Wei and Guo Wei would support himself, so he had to stay in the Hu Prison and wait for Hua Xiong to lead the troops to go, as to prevent the princes from chasing. The heavy responsibility of the soldiers naturally fell on Lv Bu.

"Does the Prime Minister have any other explanations?" After frowning slightly, Lv Bu continued to ask.

"To General Lv Bu, the Prime Minister just explained that he hoped that General Lv Bu would do his best to save the soldiers who were defeated by the princes. Those soldiers are all hard-working people who have followed the Prime Minister for many years. The Prime Minister does not want them to die in vain." The soldier recalled and said.

"How many soldiers are there in Xingyang City now?" At this time, Hua Xiong also asked with a frown.

"General Huaxiong, we still have more than 200 people here." The soldier said.

"How can such a little man guard Xingyang? General Lv Bu, why don't you let me leave some soldiers to help the general defend Xingyang? What does the general think? Seeing that there were too few soldiers in Xingyang City, Hua Xiong frowned and said to Lv Bu with concern. In Hua Xiong's view, after all, Lv Bu only has 10,000 wolves in his hand. He is obviously a little overstretched to defend Xingyang. You know, there were tens of thousands of people defending Zhongmou at that time, and he was easily beaten down by the coalition of princes.

"Ha ha, General Hua Xiong is too worried. Now that although our army is defeated, the coalition of princes is not a solid piece after all. I don't think Yuan Shao wants to force us too hard, so that we will fight to the death with them. Besides, the strength of our army now is just a bigger prince for the princes, for a group of The threat of the princes has been greatly reduced. If I think it's good, there will be not much soldiers chasing us. I can deal with this ten thousand wolves. General Hua Xiong should lead the troops to the Prime Minister. Since the Prime Minister is waiting for you at the Hu Prison, there must be a reason. Lv Bu refused Hua Xiong's kindness. In Lv Bu's opinion, the reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to leave Hua Xiong and returned to Luoyang with Hua Xiong has already expressed his distrust of Lv Bu. You should know that the biggest force in Luoyang now is the soldier and horse led by Gao Shun. As for Dong Zhuo letting Lv Bu stay in Xingyang, it is testing Lv Bu's loyalty. Of course, this may not mean that he wants to weaken Lv Bu's strength. However, even so, Lv Bu believed that Dong Zhuo was only defending himself now, but did not mean to deal with himself. It must be that Dong Zhuo's strength is greatly damaged now, and sometimes he still needs Lv Bu to support him. Thinking of this, Lv Bu was also much relieved.

"General Lv Bu said so, so I won't say anything more. General Lv Bu, in a military emergency, take care of himself, and now I will leave." With that, Hua Xiong waved his hand and continued to rush over with the soldiers and horses behind him thinking about the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Brother Lv Bu, please take care of yourself. Since I brought you from Ding Yuan, I have known that Brother Lv Bu's talent is not a thing in the pool. I, Li Su, am willing to shed my blood for Brother Lv Bu. I am not ambiguous. Brother Lv Bu has a destiny, and Li Su will never dare to neglect it." Just as Li Su passed by Lv Bu, Li Su suddenly stopped the war horse he sat on and said seriously. After saying this, he smiled and left. Li Su's meaning is already very clear. Although Lv Bu has not been separated from Dong Zhuo, as long as Lv Bu makes a move, Li Su will raise his hands in favor.

"General, if Li Su said this to Dong Zhuo's ears, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to the general." After Li Su left, Zhang Liao beside Lv Bu frowned and said.

"Oh, Zhang Liao, do you think my current strength can no longer be accommodated by Dong Zhuo?" After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Lv Bu did not interface, but sighed and said.

"What the general means is it that he wants to turn against Dong Zhuo?" After listening to Lv Bu's words, Zhang Liao said in surprise.

"Of course I don't want to fall out with Dong Zhuo, but I do have the strength to fight against Dong Zhuo now. If you are Dong Zhuo, will you allow a subordinate who can fight against you?" Looking at Zhang Liao's nervous face, Lv Bu asked.

"I won't. But now Dong Zhuo should not turn against us. After all, the coalition of princes is still staring at us. After a little pondering, Zhang Liao replied.

"Is there any way to make Dong Zhuo dare not turn against us even without the threat of princes?" Lv Bu pondered for a moment and then asked.

"This? Unless the general's strength is already above Dong Zhuo. Zhang Liao said.

"I see. If we can gather these defeated troops together this time and take them for our own use, I think that even if Dong Zhu is really dissatisfied with me, I'm afraid he won't do anything to me." Lv Bu looked up at the distance and said leisurely.

"The general has this idea, and we are willing to assist the general until his death." Seeing that Lv Bu had made up his mind, everyone quickly got down and knelt down to Lv Bu.

Lv Bu's men, both Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, are the heroes of the world. Naturally, they don't want to follow a master who has been called by others all the time. Now when they see that Lv Bu is determined to surpass Dong Zhuo, their hearts are surging.

"Since the lord wants to part ways with Dong Zhuo, why don't you lead the troops to go straight to the prison now? In this way, can't you directly control Dong Zhuo?" At this time, Cao Xi came forward and said carefully.

"Ha ha, controlling Dong Zhuo does not mean that you can control Dong Zhuo. Moreover, now that the army of the princes is pressing step by step, our first priority is to deal with the princes. Once we have a standoff with Dong Zhuo at this time, we will definitely be caught by the princes' coalition. All we have to do now is to encroach on Dong Zhuo's power. Lv Bu explained.

After the strategic policy was determined, Lv Bu sent riders around, and even let some scouts lurk near Chen Liu after makeup, hoping to meet Dong Zhuojun who was scattered, and then bring them to Xingyang Huihe. It's just that the good times are not long. Just as Lv Bu made careful arrangements for the next step, a bad news was brought back by the scouts.

"General, the scout found a large-scale cavalry on the road and approached us quickly towards Xingyang." Zhang Liao came forward and said to Lv Bu.

"Is that so? Yuan Shao's brigade finally came. It seems that we are going to have a big war. Although Lv Bu expected that Yuan Shao would send troops to chase him, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"General, there are not many soldiers and horses in return. It seems that it is not Yuan Shao's main force." Zhang Liao continued.

"Anyway, let's get ready to meet. According to the order, except for Dianwei's troops staying in the city, all the other soldiers and horses were ambushed outside the city. When I gave an order, all of them went out to kill the enemy. Lv Bu stood up and ordered.

"This? The general asked all the soldiers and horses except Dian Wei's troops to ambush outside the city. Aren't he ready to defend Xingyang? Hearing Lv Bu's order, Zhang Liao asked in shock.

"Defending Xingyang? My people are all cavalry. Should they disarm and become foot soldiers, and then defend Xingyang? You ask someone to tell the original 200 soldiers in Xingyang City to open all the four doors of Xingyang City. I have my own wonderful use. Lv Bu did not explain his intention, but showed a strange smile on his face.

"It's the general. I'll do it now." Looking at Lv Bu's confident appearance, Zhang Liao did not ask anything more. With Zhang Liao's understanding of Lv Bu, Zhang Liao believed that Lv Bu must have a way to deal with the enemy. Although Zhang Liao also felt that it was a little unreasonable not to defend Xingyang, it was really not a good idea to let the wolf ride to guard the city.
