Chapter 270: Lu Bu, Kill or Not?
After making all the plans, the Xiliang army began to retreat quickly towards Guanzhong.
The retreat of the Xiliang Army was already expected by Yuan Shao and others.
After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui raised troops to attack Chang'an, which was planned by Yuan Shao and Tao Shang and others, and all the development was in the calculation of the three alliances of Yuan Cao and Tao at this moment.
After the retreat of the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao and others immediately arranged to pursue Dong Zhuo.
Yuan, Cao, and Tao soldiers divided into three routes, each leading their own duties, and marched straight to the west to cover up and kill Dong Zhuo's rear army.
After all, Li Wei was the general of the Xiliang Army, and he adopted the strategy of winning in the chaos in this retreat, dividing the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army into several units, and the divided roads went to the west, respectively through the Fly Pond, Shouyang Mountain, Yaoguan and other roads to Guanzhong in a panic.
Because Li Dao knew that the target of the Kwantung princes must be the lord Dong Zhuo, as long as the soldiers and horses were divided into several shares, Yuan Shao and the others would not be able to guess Dong Zhuo's eastward direction, so that they could withdraw to Guanzhong with minimal losses.
However, Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army was very special, although the Bingzhou Army also acted alone, it did not retreat, but was arranged by Li Dao to undertake the work of the broken back, blocking the onslaught of Yuan Shao and others for Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shao and the others were clear in their hearts, and they didn't point to this battle to be able to kill Dong Zhuo, just to take advantage of the enemy's retreat and obtain some benefits to the greatest extent.
The potter thought the same way...... The most important thing is that he knows that Dong Zhuo's physical condition no longer allows him to last long.
This battle can be regarded as a mourning for Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses left in a hurry, although Lu Bu was broken, but they couldn't stop the pursuit of the three coalition forces.
The Cao army was in the front with Xiahoudun and Cao Ren and other generals who were proficient in the art of war, while Yuan Shaojun took Lu Yi, Han Meng and others as the front, and Tao Shang Jun took Xu Huang as the vanguard of the front, and carried out fierce attacks on LΓΌ Bu's army from different directions.
The morale of the Bingzhou army was not high, and Lu Bu was quite resistant to this break, and he was listless and unsatisfactory when he started the battle, and soon let the three soldiers and horses break through the barrier and go straight to the rear of the Xiliang army.
I don't know if Lu Bu did it on purpose.
After being broken through by the soldiers and horses of the three princes, the Bingzhou army also had no intention of fighting, and under the leadership of Lu Bu, they went straight to the boundary of Shouyang Mountain......
In Lu Bu's heart, if the Kwantung princes broke through their own obstacles, they would definitely go straight to the Xiliang army to chase and kill, swearing to take Dong Zhuo's head.
Lu Bu guessed most of them, but there was a small part that was beyond his expectations.
The potter didn't seem to be interested in Dong Zhuo's head, he let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao chase after him, and he followed Lu Bu vigorously......
The potter was not interested in Dong Zhuo's head now, because he could probably guess Dong Zhuo's physical condition, and he was not interested in a tyrant who was already dying.
The only person he was interested in now was Lu Bu.
Lu Bu very much wanted to have a good battle with the pottery merchants, but the problem was that Li Dao did not allocate much rations to Lu Bu, if he did not return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, and the Tao Shang army was delayed for a long time, in case he was repeatedly attacked by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others who turned around, then Lu Bu would be in danger.
Therefore, although Lu Bu hated the potter's itchy teeth, the situation forced Lu Bu to not fight the potter head-on, and he could only let this mad dog bite his ass hard.
Before Lu Bu's soldiers and horses arrived at the boundary of Shouyang Mountain, they had been attacked three times by the Xuzhou army's chasing and killing soldiers and horses, and each time the Bingzhou army would be damaged to varying degrees.
Every time he heard about the loss of soldiers and horses, Lu Bu's blood pressure soared upward.
The little calf surnamed Tao is really hateful!
The soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou army are like bedbugs, sticking to him tightly, like a toad plopping down on the surface of their feet, not biting and disgusting.
After a long time, Lu Bu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
That's too much of a bully!
After all, he is a flying hero, how can he endure such a passive situation all the time?
Lu Bu found Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, discussed how to solve the problem of getting rid of the three or five after the separation, and came over to disgust his pursuers.
At this point of looking for someone to discuss, Lu Bu still has some vision, although Wei Xu is his relative, but when he really needs to use his brain, Lu Bu generally does not pee on him, he knows in his heart that only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun can help him solve the problem.
Lu Bu, in fact, to a certain extent, is quite wise.
After several discussions, Gao Shun really thought of a way to give it a try.
According to Gao Shun's analysis, at present, the pottery merchant army is closely following his own side, and from time to time he will organize a wave of sharp attacks, making deep and shallow harassment on his own side, in the face of the strong merger of the state army, the reason why the pottery merchant dares to be so arrogant is that he thinks that the merge state army is retreating in a hurry at the moment, and does not dare to return to the army to make an effective counterattack, so as not to fall into the enemy formation, and there will be no recovery.
Although it is true that they cannot turn around and fight with the potters, once they enter the territory of Shouyang Mountain, they may be able to start an ambush battle against the potters there.
Fight an ambush and don't break the law!
Shouyang Mountain is located in the southeast direction of Weiyuan, surrounded by mountains, the mountain is extremely high, because it is the head of the mountains, the sun shines first and gets the name, it is known for its strange show, it is a magnificent pearl on the ancient silk south road, in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, Boyi Shuqi had been buried here.
The Bingzhou army can find a suitable ambush here, hide the soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests of Shouyang Mountain, and then condescendingly, attack it unprepared, and catch the potters off guard.
Even if the potters can't be destroyed, they must be able to severely defeat the spirit of the Xuzhou army, so that they will retreat in the face of difficulties, and not bite their own side.
Lu Bu expressed great appreciation for Gao Shun's advice, and he adopted Gao Shun's advice almost immediately.
A cub surnamed Tao! You wash Ben's neck and wait!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Shouyang Mountain.
LΓΌ Bu's soldiers and horses followed Gao Shun's advice and laid an ambush in a mountain area in Shouyang Mountain.
They waited for the potter to arrive, and then dealt a fatal blow to him.
The humiliation, resentment, and resentment of the past few months were all held in the hearts of the Bingzhou army, and they were all looking forward to the arrival of the Xuzhou army at this moment. Then they can vent all their resentment and humiliation on those Xuzhou soldiers.
Ten miles away from the ambush of Lu Bu's army in the mountains, the pottery merchant's soldiers and horses had already reached the boundary of Shouyang Mountain.
Looking at the Shouyang Mountain Range with dangerous terrain and steep mountains from afar, Guo Jia showed a smile of relief.
"It's really a great place to ambush soldiers and horses."
The potter admired Guo Jia's side and said with a smile: "What my brother said is good...... It's also a great place to be buried. β
The two knew each other and smiled.
Guo Jia touched his smooth chin, squinted his eyes and observed the various topography of the veins of Shouyang Mountain, and carefully analyzed it in his heart.
When he was young, Guo Jia set his sights on a broken mountain with low terrain but a steep road.
After carefully observing for a while, Guo Jia clapped his hands and said: "If Guo is Lu Bu himself, he will set up his soldiers and horses in that middle of the mountain, and just wait for us to pass, and then wave his army straight down the mountain, so as to achieve all the success." β
The potter did not refute either, he believed very much in Guo Jia's judgment of the battlefield situation.
He just looked at Guo Jia with a smile: "There seems to be more than one mountain area that can ambush soldiers and horses, why is Mr. Guo so sure of Lu Bu's arrangement?" β
Guo Jia's face sank, and he pointed to the mountain range and said, "Therefore, there is murderous aura there!" β
Will this guy still look murderous?
After pondering for a while, the potter figured it out and directly exposed Guo Jia.
"You're really capable of making trouble, and you're still murderous...... Obviously, there are so many mountains, only that one has grass and trees, the slope is steep, and the horses can be arranged to hide, Lu Bu is reluctant to give up his war horse after all, are you stupid Tao? β
Guo Jia's face turned red, and he smiled: "At least you're not really stupid......"
Pretending to be forced didn't pretend, the prodigal son is a little ashamed today.
The potter gently flicked his horsewhip, looked at the mountain that Guo Jia called Lu Bu's buried ambush, and said, "Since Mr. Guo has guessed that Lu Bu is ambushed there, what should we do next?" β
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth suddenly showed a strange smile.
"Master Tao, Guo gave you a great achievement, if this achievement is completed, you will be famous all over the world from now on, and your prestige will reach its peak, do you want this achievement?"
Hearing Guo Jia's words, the potter couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.
This kid is so sure, it can't be boring.
"What credit? Don't fool me! β
Guo Jia looked at the potter fixedly, and said to him word by word: "Kill, Lu, Bu." β
Hearing this, the potter's brows suddenly furrowed.
Guo Jia saw that the potter did not reply, and said for him: "Lu Bu is the number one fierce general in the world, he now thinks he has a plan, ambushed in Shouyang Mountain, in fact, he has indeed put himself in a dead end...... How's that, heartbeat or not? If this matter is successful, how about you give Guo a little more money. β
The potter pondered for a long time, but suddenly shook his head: "I don't want Lu Bu's life now, so I don't want him to kill him." β
Guo Jia gasped.
"In order not to give Guo a long money, you don't even want Lu Bu's life? β¦β¦ You're picking too hard, aren't you? β
The potter smiled, shook his head, and said, "That's just part of the reason. β
There are some things he can't say to Guo Jia for the time being.
According to the inference of the historical situation, the pottery merchants believed that after Dong Zhuo's death, the relationship between the Liang army in the west and the Bingzhou army was incompatible, and LΓΌ Bu and Li Dao would inevitably have a struggle for power in Guanzhong.
But history has been biased, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose between the two of them.
The infighting between the two parties, regardless of victory or defeat, will inevitably greatly weaken the strength of Dong Zhuojun's old department, but if Lu Bu dies now, this infighting is likely to disappear invisibly, which is not a good thing for the Kwantung princes.
The Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army are the tigers and wolves, and it is best to let them strife for a while.
Otherwise, although Dong Zhuo died, with their military strength and the wealth of Guanzhong, the princes of Kwantung would still face a behemoth lying in the west.
It's better to let them split up.
And the losing side, if it does not die, is likely to be driven out of the gate.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are in the west and northwest of Xuzhou, the two major forces are in full swing, if there is no Guanzhong warlord force to stir up the troubled waters of the Central Plains, let Yuan Cao and the two grow in such a barbaric way......
The potter felt that his little life was basically over.
If there is the strength and appeal of Yuan Shao's level, there is nothing wrong with the pottery merchant killing Lu Bu now, and one less variable will save a heart.
It's a pity that the potter is not Yuan Shao, and the power of Xuzhou is far inferior to Yuan and Cao.
If you want to continue to grow and survive, you must let the world have more variables, and you can't let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao grow without hindrance.
Of course, Lu Bu's tiger and wolf disciples, if he stays behind, what will happen in the future, it is really not necessarily said.
But these are, after all, some inferences he made as a traverser, and unreliable potters dare not pack tickets.
The potter at the moment can only gamble!
