The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the next year is in a blink of an eye.

The winter snow has not yet dispersed, and outside the city of Yan County, the horn of war has sounded.

Yan Liang, who was clad in armor, held a long knife in his hand, rode a horse to the city of Yanxian County, and shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the city above: "Lu Jun rats, who dares to fight with me!" ”

Such arrogance angered the generals and colonels in the city, so they asked for battle, willing to go out of the city to behead Yan Liang's head.

Gao Shun, who was sitting in the city tower, had a calm face, turned a deaf ear to Yan Liang's call for battle under the city, and had a resolute attitude in his voice: "Without my order, those who go out of the city to meet the fighters without permission will be killed!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were silent.

Even if you are not convinced, you can only endure it for the time being.

Gao Shun is very strict in governing the army, and on weekdays, anyone who violates military discipline and orders, regardless of relatives, nobles and lows, will be held accountable.

The officers and men of the old army are all in awe.

Yan Liang fought for a long time below, and the defenders in the city were unmoved, which made him very angry, so he simply waved his hand and directly ordered his soldiers to attack the city.

Yanzhou, Chen Liu.

In the county guard's mansion, Lu Bu summoned Xiao Ji, Guo Jia and other strategists to make strategic deployments.

Since the last time Guo Jia was invited to drink, the relationship between the two seems to have changed subtly.

In the parliament on weekdays, Guo Jia, who has always been a fugue in the past, will occasionally interject a sentence or two, and Lu Bu will also express his approval if he has it, and then listen to it.

All in all, everything is going in the best direction.

Lu Bu asked them to come here today to discuss a clear plan, which way to start.

The army had been recuperating in Chenliu for nearly four months, and originally thought of holding it for a while before counterattacking. What I didn't expect was that Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others were unwilling to take the lead in making trouble, and in their respective fields, they were like old monks in their own fields, and they were completely quiet.

If they don't come, then I'll be the only one who takes the initiative to find them.

This is Lu Bu's idea, and it really doesn't make much sense to continue to dry up.

"If the lord insists on marching, I suggest that you can take Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao first." Xiao Ji made a plan and gave a detailed explanation of this.

"First, the soldiers and horses of the Zhang brothers mainly come from the younger brother Zhang Chao, and the area they operate is in Liangguo, Yuzhou, not Chenliu."

"Second, I am only a county, the defense of the city is not strong, with the majesty of the lord, it is not difficult to break the city."

"Third, if you can defeat the Zhang brothers, it will be equivalent to closing the big net of Yuan, Cao and others, tearing a rift so that they cannot be connected."

The strategic objectives are clear, and the analysis is well-founded.

"Well, it's even what the meta map said."

Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully, giving Xiao Ji an appreciative look.

Hearing the lord's praise, Xiao Ji was happy and proud in his heart, but he said very humbly on his face: "The lord praises falsely, and shares the worries for the lord, this is the duty of Ji." ”

Since Xiance was sent back to Chang'an to recuperate, Xiao Ji seems to have the posture of the First Army Division under Lu Bu.

According to the past, what Lu Bu should say next is to schedule and execute according to the plan he suggested.

However, today, there seems to be a little accident.

After listening to Xiao Ji's opinion, Lu Bu did not make a decision on this, but asked the young master Bo next to Xiao Ji: "Feng Xiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia, who was named, did not hide it, and said directly: "I think you can fight Cao Cao first." ”

When Xiao Ji heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Fengxiao, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Lu Bu waved his hand slightly, signaling that it was okay and letting Guo Jia continue.

"Yuan Shu and Zhang Chao each carried tens of thousands of soldiers, and they seemed to be menacing, but in fact, they were just two mud worms crossing the river, and they couldn't turn over the big waves at all." As soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth, he was shocked, and directly stepped these two forces into the mud and dust.

Many scribes in the hall were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground, this kid simply didn't know the height of the sky, and actually said that Yuan Shu was a mud worm crossing the river? Do you know how powerful and connected the Yuan family is?

Surprised, the scribes quickly changed their disdainful faces.

Because they understand that ignorant children like Guo Jia have seen a lot on weekdays, and they may not really rely on strength, but they just want to attract people's attention by exaggerating.

Xiao Ji frowned when he heard this, he didn't dare to hold it up so much, so he naturally couldn't tolerate Guo Jiawu's target, and he stopped drinking with a little displeasure: "Fengxiao, in front of the lord, don't make a big fuss!" Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Bu seems to be extraordinarily broad-minded today.

Xiao Ji was deflated, so he had to let Guo Jia continue.

"Although Yuan Shu has the support of the Yuan family, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he likes to be arrogant and lascivious, and there are many talented people under his command, but few people can use it; As for Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, these two people have a reputation, but they are short-sighted, do not want to forge ahead, and are not great people. ”

Guo Jia paced in the hall, first made a brief comment, and then introduced the topic to the main one: "In comparison, Cao Cao seems ambitious. Although this person is after the eunuch Cao Jie, his mind and courage are not inferior to the general. Being able to stabilize Yanzhou so quickly is one of the best examples. ”

"Therefore, the top priority is not Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao, but Cao Cao!"

Guo Jia's concluding statement was loud.

Lu Bu held his chin with his right hand, his eyes were introverted, and he thought seriously.

Seeing this, he was afraid that Lu Bu would listen to Guo Jia's opinion, so he got up again and admonished: "The lord thinks twice, Guo Zhubo is young and vigorous, and everything he thinks in his mind is wild, which seems reasonable, but in fact, it may not be possible." ”

Glancing at Lu Bu's face, and seeing that he showed no signs of anger, Xiao Jicai continued: "What's more, Yanzhou has a vast territory, with eight counties and countries under its jurisdiction, and even if the lord occupies Chenliu, Cao Cao still has seven counties. If you deal with Cao Cao first, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to give Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao a chance to take advantage of, it is better to repel Zhang Miao and Yuan Shu first, and then fight with Cao Cao. ”

Report~~~

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran into the hall, knelt on one knee, presented a volume of newspapers, and reported loudly with excitement: "Yan County won the victory, General Gao broke Yan Liang in Xuanxiang Pavilion, beheaded more than 3,000 people, and captured hundreds of baggage. ”

Hearing this sudden good news, Lu Bu was excited, slammed his fists on the table, and shouted the word 'good', which made people present the report.

The note was opened, and it was indeed Gao Shun's handwriting, vigorous and powerful, and full of calmness.

The letter mentioned that Yan Liang attacked for several days in a row and could not take Yan County, so he thought about diverting to Hanoi. As a result, he was cut off by Gao Shun, caught off guard, and retreated in defeat.

After reading Gao Shun's recital, Lu Bu's heart had already ignited a raging fighting spirit, and he immediately shouted: "Pass my general order, and after five days, rush to Waihuang!" ”
