Chapter 588 Encounter Wen Chou again
"Hmm, with such a little ability, I dare to come out and make a fool of myself. It's really immeasurable." Glancing at Zhang Wei lying on the ground, Hua Xiong said with a sneer.
"General Huaxiong's temper is really helpless. Please forgive me." At this time, Zhang Liao turned around and bowed slightly to Zhang Lu.
"The general is polite. It's all Zhang Wei's own incompetence and can't blame others." Seeing that Zhang Wei was stabbed to the ground by Hua Xiong, Zhang Lu really understood that Hua Xiong was indeed a famous scholar, and he was secretly glad for his judgment and did not easily turn against Zhang Liao.
A few days later, when Zhang Wei's injury improved, Zhang Lu finally took Zhang Wei on the road and went to Luoyang. Since then, Hanzhong has completely fallen into Lv Bu's hands.
However, he said that after Lv Bu led his troops to Yecheng, he quickly summoned Zhang He and Cheng Yu to ask about the preparations for the war in Hebei.
"My lord, now that Hebei's grain and fodder are ready to launch an attack at any time." Seeing that Lv Bu wanted to ask, Cheng Yu hurriedly reported.
"To the lord, the generals and soldiers of the three armies are ready. Just wait for the lord's order, they can immediately take down Jizhou and Bingzhou in one fell swoop." At this time, Zhang He also came over and said sonorously.
"Very good, so how is Gao Shun's preparation?" After asking about the situation in Yecheng, Lv Bu asked about the preparation of Gao Shun. For this battle against Hebei, Lv Bu did not intend to mobilize too many troops, but to send troops from Bingzhou and Jizhou to cooperate with each other in order to take Hebei as soon as possible.
"To report to the lord, General Gao Shun sent someone to send the news, and everything in Bingzhou is ready, just waiting for the lord to give an order." Seeing Lv Bu asking, Cheng Yu said quickly.
"That's good. It is rumored that all kinds of soldiers and horses in Jizhou sent troops in the early morning and went straight to Guangping." After receiving the news that all the soldiers and horses were ready, Lv Bu no longer hesitated and got up and ordered.
"I will obey the Lord's order." Zhang He and others quickly answered and then went out to prepare.
"Master, I don't know how to arrange it in Bingzhou?" Seeing that Lv Bu did not mention the matter of Bingzhou, Cheng Yu hurriedly asked.
"Please tell Gao Shun for me to move his camera and capture Youzhou for me." Lv Bu said with a smile.
The next day, as soon as the sky lit, a brigade of soldiers and horses gathered outside Yecheng, and soon rushed straight in the direction of Guangping.
With the news of the attack of Lv Bu's army, Guangping Taishou did not hesitate at all and quickly transmitted the news to Yuan Xi, who was sitting in Xindu.
"Gentlemen, Lv Bu's army is coming. What good can you do to help me retreat from the enemy?" Yuan Xi, who got the news, gathered his advisers and generals overnight and asked eagerly.
"Master, a family is willing to lead troops to block Lv Bu. If it can't defeat Lv Bu, a family is willing to come to see you." Hearing Yuan Xi's words, a man next to him stepped out. Everyone looked at him. This person was not someone else, but Yuan Shao's former minister Wen Chou.
"General Wenchou, there is a general who is willing to contribute at this time. I am very comforted. I asked the general to lead 20,000 troops to assist Guangping for the vanguard. I will lead the army and then arrive." Seeing that Wen Chou stood up at this time, Yuan Xi also felt hot-blooded for a while and wanted to go out of the city to fight with Lv Bu.
"With the Lord's words, although Wen Chou has no regrets, Wen Chou will go." Although Wen Chou was reckless, he also knew Lv Bu's strength. This time, Lv Bu led the army for the purpose and obviously to uproot the foundation of the Yuan family, and Yuan Xi's strength could hardly be fought against it. However, even so, Wen Chou did not flinch at all. For him, this was his opportunity to repay Yuan Shao's kindness.
"Lord, do you think your strength can compete with Lv Bu?" Seeing Wen Chou leave, Yuan Xi seemed to be going to fight again. Guotu beside him took a step forward and asked Yuan Xi.
"Ha ha" Yuan Xi just smiled bitterly and said to Guo Tu, "Sir, are you making fun of me? How can my strength be compared with Lv Bu?"
"There is a plan that can give the master a 50% chance of winning. I don't know if the master is willing to listen?" Seeing that Yuan Xi had no confidence in the imminent battle, Guo Tu said.
"Mr. Optimization, please talk about it." Hearing Guo Tu's words, Yuan Xi was overjoyed and said quickly. You should know that there is no chance of winning against Yuan Xi against Lv Bu. Now he suddenly has a 50% chance of winning. How can this not make Yuan Xi happy?
"If only the master's soldiers and horses are indeed not enough to fight against Lv Bu, but if they can fight with Yuan Tan in Youzhou and add the soldiers and horses of Xianbei and various groups in Liaoxi, even Lv Bu may not be able to resist it." Guo Tu smiled and said treacherously.
"This? Yuan Tan and I made a lot of trouble in order to seize the throne. If Yuan Tan is asked to help, I'm afraid it will lead the wolf into the house, which may not be a good thing for us. Hearing Guo Tu's intention to introduce Yuan Tan and a group of foreigners to Jizhou, Yuan Xi said worriedly.
"Master, don't worry. Jizhou is our territory, and we still have an advantage. In addition, the soldiers we have attracted are not only Yuan Tan's Jizhou soldiers all the way. They are suspicious of each other and guarding each other, but nothing will happen." Guo Tu said with a smile about Yuan Xi's worry.
"Mr. Guo Tu, when the forefather was alive, he once said: If it is not our family, its heart will be different. Therefore, the predecessor and Lv Bu have not let the foreign soldiers and horses intervene in several wars. Now, I'm afraid it's against the intention of the predecessors with the help of foreign soldiers and horses. Hearing that Guo Tu wanted to introduce foreign soldiers and horses such as Xianbei and Wuheng in Liaoning, Xin Ping, who was beside him, quickly said.
"Well, I don't stop doing military work. How can I know how to use military? It's better to take care of your own affairs." Hearing that Xin Ping dared to talk about his own tricks, Guo Tu said angrily.
"Sir, let's go down and prepare grain and fodder ordnance. Mr. Guo Tu and I still need to discuss some details." At this time, Yuan Xi saw that Guo Tu's method did help him save his territory, so he waved his hand and sent Xin Ping out.
"Hey" Seeing this scene, Xin Ping could only sigh and retreat silently. But I feel that I have to do something in my heart.
However, he said that Yuan Xi's letter for help was sent to Fan Yang. After reading the letter, Yuan Tan was very worried and quickly invited him to discuss the matter.
"Sir, please have a look. This is a letter of asking for help sent to me by Yuan Xi. He said that Lv Bu raised his army on his back and wanted to uproot the power of our Yuan family. He wanted me to send troops to help him. What do you think we should do?" Yuan Tan handed over a letter to Feng Ji, and then asked with some worry.
"Well, when your brothers couldn't compete with each other at that time, I knew that Lv Bu would lead a large army to attack soon, and now it's true." When Feng Ji saw the letter, he sighed and said.
"Well, what's the use of saying these now, sir? Please help me come up with ideas quickly. Should we send troops to help Yuan Xi?" Yuan Tan also sighed and shook his head.
"Although the strength of your two brothers is not strong, there may not be no room for Lv Bu to deal with them. In fact, Lv Bu's attack this time is also an opportunity. If you two brothers can get rid of the past and cooperate with Jin Cheng from now on, maybe this time will be the beginning of the glorious reconstruction of the old Yuan family." After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind to say.
"So you are supporting me to send troops to help Yuan Xi? It's just that Yuan Xi may not think like his husband. After listening to Fengji's words, Yuan Tan still said with a little worry.
As the saying goes, father and son soldiers fight against tigers and brothers. At the critical moment, the general should show his demeanor, so that he can convince others. Seeing that Yuan Tan was a little hesitant, he persuaded him.
"Sir is right. So far, it can only be like this." At this time, Yuan Tan could only nod and agree.
"My lord, the front is Guangping City. Shall we attack the city directly?" Lv Bu led the army to Guangping City. Zang Ba quickly came over and asked Lv Bu to fight.
"Ha ha, you are also an old general. Why are you so calm? I ordered the three armies to build a tent. I want to wait for people here." Lv Bu shook his head slightly and did not agree with Zang Ba's proposal. Lv Bu didn't like the strong attack and was not very interested in the hard work of attacking the city.
"Does the master want to wait for someone here? We have brought a lot of soldiers and horses. Does the lord have to wait for Mr. Xun Yu to send reinforcements? After listening to Lv Bu's words, Zang Ba asked confusedly.
"Hahaha, the general is wrong. The lord is not waiting for reinforcements, but waiting for our enemy, but this time Yuan Xi's action is really a little slow. Why hasn't he brought troops to Guangping?" Seeing that Zang Ba didn't understand, Cheng Yu came forward and explained to Zang Ba.
"Mr. Cheng Yu, you should always let Yuan Xi prepare. We have been preparing for this war for a long time, but Yuan Xi has been busy fighting with Yuan Tan, and there is no time to prepare at all." At this time, Zhang He, who was beside him, also said.
"Who said that Yuan Xi was not prepared? Look over there, did the enemy kill from time to time?" At this time, Zang Ba suddenly pointed to the front and said. The smoke and dust in front of him were rolling, and a soldier and horse swept over with the rolling smoke and dust. At first, one person held a long knife and killed him. It was Wen Chou.
"I didn't expect that the first person I saw was Wen Chou. Which one of you would like to fight?" Seeing Wen Chou coming from afar, Lv Bu sighed and asked the winning prize around him.
"Lord, a family is willing to go and take the ugly head of the lord." At this time, a tiger general next to him stood up and said to Lv Bu. Lv Bu fixed his eyes. This person was Pang De, the general he got from Ma Chao in those years.
"General Pound, Wen Chou has fought with me several times, but he hasn't won or lost yet. Let me go this time." Seeing that Pang De was rushing to fight against Wen Chou, Zang Ba beside him was not willing to do it, so he quickly said.
"Wenchou's martial arts are not weak. You two go together, so that you can have a helper." Lv Bu waved his hand to interrupt the dispute between the two and ordered.
"Yes, my subordinates take orders." Seeing that Lv Bu sent a message, the two turned around without saying a word.
