After the task was assigned, everyone performed their duties, and Lu Bu, as the advance force, led his 2,000 horsemen to rush to Lishui in the afternoon of the same day.

On the wide official road, dust is flying.

Two days later, Huangfu Song's army also successfully reached the east of Weishui and successfully fought with Lü Bu.

By the time Bocai led his army to the west of the river, it was already sunset and dusk the next day.

The Yellow Turban scouts who had scattered out to explore the way turned back and reported to Bo Cai: "Qu Shuai, the Han army is camping on the opposite side of the river, and it seems that they want to stop us. ”

Bo Cai, who was riding a tall horse, reined in the horse's head and showed disdain, "A group of rats are trying in vain to stop Ben Shuai, it's just too much to do!" ”

"Let's go, let's go with Ben Shuai to break the Han army."

He was dressed in armor, tied to his shoulders in a yellow robe, and had thick eyebrows and square face, with a beard that stood upside down, and had the appearance of a tiger.

Just as Bo Cai was about to wave his army directly to fight with the Han army, and divide the ranks, the deputy general You Ji beside him admonished: "Qu Shuai, the soldiers have been on the road for a long time, and they are all tired, and now the sun is sinking into the mountains, and the sky will soon fall into the night." Most of our troops are soldiers, which is not conducive to night operations. It's better to repair it for the time being, and then have a showdown with the Han army tomorrow. ”

When Bo Cai heard this, he looked up at the sky slightly, and then looked back at the tired people, the person who can be the handsome man of the party will definitely not be a fool and idiot.

He nodded, and shouted in a thick voice: "Let's camp and rest for the time being, and cheer up Lao Tzu for tomorrow, and strive for everyone to kill ten or eight Han soldiers for him, do you hear it!" ”

"I heard you!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the low morale instantly rose.

With the experience of the fire in Changshe, Bo Cai learned wisely and knew that he was camping near the water and facing the Han army across the water.

Even if a fire breaks out, it can be extinguished at the first time.

The soldiers began to set up camp tents, and while they were burying the pot and cooking, Bo Cai recruited the deputy general and said to him: "Go and shoot the war book to Huangfu Lao'er, and ask him to fight tomorrow." ”

On the bank of the river east of the water, there are two figures, one high and one low.

Looking at the smoke burning on the other side of the river, Lu Bu glanced sideways at the thin young man beside him, who was much shorter than him, and the respect in his heart was incomprehensible.

He asked, "Sir, how are you sure that the moth thieves dare not cross the river?" ”

Xi Ce folded his hands and looked at the slightly rippling river, but he didn't answer, letting Lu Bu figure it out by himself.

If he said a lot of things, how would Lu Bu grow?

It was still late, and fatigue was the reason, but it was not the most important point.

Most of the Yellow Turban sergeants were poor peasants, with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky.

They were forcibly organized into an army, and although they had a great advantage in numbers, they lacked cooperative training, and were typically organized and undisciplined. In the fight with the officers and soldiers, they will only use recklessness and fight indiscriminately without any focus.

Moreover, the southerners are not good at riding horses, and among the 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, there are only 1,000 cavalry troops who can make up.

Lu Bu lowered his brows and thought for a moment.

When Xi Ce heard the answer, his face was pleased. He knew very well that Lu Bu was actually not stupid, but he didn't like to turn his brain, and he liked to rely on other people's opinions for everything.

This is not a good habit.

Now Lu Bu can rely on himself, if one day, he is gone......

There was a hint of sadness in his deep eyes, and he knew that day would not be long.

What's more, people in the world who are wiser than him are like carp crossing the river.

Therefore, before that day comes, Lu Bu must be cultivated into the vision and strategy that a hegemon should have.

Lu Bu didn't know what Xi Ce was thinking, but his opinions could be affirmed by Xi Ce, which also made him extremely happy.

The warbler willow hangs on the riverside, the breeze is gentle, refreshing.

Under the guise of probing the enemy's situation, the two came out to enjoy the cool and enjoy the wind.

In the hot and dry summer, except for rolling in the water, I believe there is nothing more refreshing than the river breeze.

"And what if you're wrong, sir?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

Guess wrong?

Xi Ce was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Wouldn't that be better, if the moth thief is really hard-hearted, it will be the rhythm of the direct collapse." ”

General Zuo Zhonglang is always watching the movements of the moth thieves, and if they cross the river now, they will definitely be attacked by the half-crossing.

At that time, the Han army only needs to fight a single battle, and it will be successful.

Shout~

Lu Bu's ears moved, his eyebrows sank slightly, he was born with sensitive senses, he had already sensed the crisis, and hurriedly called: "Sir, be careful!" ”

This kind of breaking sound was all too familiar to him.

The arrows fired from across the river seemed to have lost their bearings, and they were firmly planted in the soil not far from their feet.

Lu Bu walked over, pulled out the shaft of the arrow, and untied the long square piece of bamboo tied to it.

At a glance, it turned out to be the war book of the moth thief.

Lu Bu stopped staying, turned around and returned to the camp, and informed Huangfu Song of the matter.

Huangfu Song, who was studying the terrain in the tent, heard this, and his expression did not fluctuate much, and he still focused on the terrain on the map.

Seeing him so careless, Lu Bu asked tentatively, "Don't fight?" ”

"There's no hurry." Huangfu Song moved the route in the map. The tone was very calm.

Huangfu Song was not in a hurry, but Lu Bu was very anxious, he was looking forward to ending this rebellion as soon as possible, so he asked again: "The last general is presumptuous, dare to ask the general why he doesn't fight?" ”

Zuo Zhonglang, who enjoys the reputation of the 'Tiger of the Empire', will raise his head and beckon Lu Bu to the front, which means to point out the juniors, and his finger is on the map: "Look, this is Xinzheng, and here, it is Yangzhai of Zhixian County." ”

"Meng De went to surrender, not only to climb over the mountain, but also to avoid the detour of the main force of the Yellow Turban on the way, and the 3,000 elite soldiers he led were mostly soldiers. When he arrives in Yangzhai, it will take at least four or five days. ”

Huangfu Song's intention of not engaging in the battle is obvious, that is, to consume the same wave and drag the main force of the Yellow Turban, so as to buy Cao Cao more time.

If the moth thief is defeated tomorrow and Bo Cai retreats to Yang Zhai, then Cao Cao's plan to capture Yang Zhai may fall short.

Therefore, Huangfu Song can't let Bo Cai go back to the bad thing, he has to delay it to a suitable point in time, not only to defeat this gang of moth thieves, but also to recover Yang Zhai.

After Lu Bu understood, he didn't say more.

The joke who was wandering in the army saw Lu Bu come out, and without waiting for him to ask, Lu Bu told all about Huangfu Song's decision.

After listening to the joke, he sank his brows.

Although Huangfu Song's idea is good, how can he guarantee that even if the Han army does not fight, the moth thieves will not attack?

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xi Ce's mind.

Suddenly, a light flashed through my mind.

Xi Ce laughed, and he asked Lu Bu: "General, the new moth thief, as the host, is it a little unreasonable for us not to pick them up tonight?" ”
