The sky is dark, only starlight is mottled in the sky, and in the camp of King Lu Bu of Zhao, the lights are bright, and the camp is illuminated through the sky with a torch in ten steps.

As the army moved south, the sergeants were exhausted from the long journey, and it was getting late, so Lü Bu had to order to set up camp.

In this world, he only knows two people who give up camping after a thousand-mile attack and directly attack the enemy army.

One is Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, who used his soldiers like a god to defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, in one fell swoop, and the other is Marquis Yingfei of Qin, who fought a shocking battle under the Tiger Prison.

These two people who use soldiers like gods, Lu Bu naturally can't compare, at this moment he can only choose to let the army rest and recuperate, and attack Xiangyang City with the best posture of the army.

……

"Driving, driving, driving......"

……

At this moment, the sound of a horse galloping pierced the quiet world, like a nine-day thunder, falling from the sky and suddenly exploding.

"Whoa."

……

The horses passed by, startling the birds in the trees, and the brightly lit camp woke up in an instant.

"Where the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the camp, investigate it thoroughly."

On the battlefield all the year round, Lu Bu knew the neighing of war horses well, and just the sound of the horses just now, his sensitive central nervous system felt that the person coming was a sergeant of the army.

"No."

……

"Whew!"

……

"Those who come stop and those who advance die!"

The soldiers outside the camp demonstrated with arrows, and the people stopped them, and everyone was a battlefield soldier, so they naturally knew that this was not a night attack by the enemy.

There is no one's night attack, not even a brave man like Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, can't do it. Not to mention, other people.

The sound of horses' hooves had already exposed everything, and there was only one cavalry. Otherwise, the camp at this moment would have already blown up the nest, and the wolf rider of the state had turned into a killing god, and the other party would have already been killed.

"Phew."

In the face of the dazzling swords, guns, swords, halberds, and sharp arrows, Wang Buji's eyes flashed with fear, and he felt the killing intent from these people.

He knew that if he hesitated for a moment, the other party would shoot him without hesitation. In the face of life and death, Wang Buji's breathing couldn't help but become heavy.

"Wang Buer, the envoy of Jingzhou, came to give a war letter to King Zhao on the order of General Huang."

Turning over and dismounting, Wang Buji immediately showed his identity, he didn't want to be shot by Lu Bu's army with an arrow, after all, the two sides were fighting, and if they died, they could only die in vain.

At this moment, he can only rely on the two armies to fight without killing to get by.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the soldiers guarding the camp had a murderous intent in their eyes, and said, "Follow me in."

Although they were dissatisfied with Wang Buer's arrogance, they also knew that the decision on this matter was not theirs, but in the hands of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao.

"Please."

……

"Lord Wang, this person claimed to be an envoy of Jingzhou before, and he came to issue a letter of war to the prince."

Glancing at the guards, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a deep voice, "Where is the war book?"

Hou Cheng took the bamboo slip from Wang Buer's hand, opened it and glanced at it, and said, "You go back and tell Huang Zhong that this battle should be fought by the king."

"No."

Hearing this, Wang Bu'er was overjoyed, and he knew in his heart that with the words of Zhao Wang Lu Bu, his life was guaranteed.

……

"Lord, Huang Zhong's plan is simply to delay the pace of the army going south and buy time for Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to go south, why are you ......?"

Glancing at Hou Cheng, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with solemnity, and said: "Jingzhou is a vast land, and it is impossible to fight in one battle."

"This king is not the Marquis of Qin, Yingfei, and he can't do this kind of almost miraculous scene at all, not to mention, this king is better at commanding the army than cavalry."

"Jingzhou is mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry warfare at all, for the sake of today's plan, only by letting Liu Biao be reduced to zero can one by one be annihilated."

……

Lu Bu's reason for agreeing to fight was very simple, because he knew in his heart that most of the troops under his command were cavalry, and they were more suitable for charging into battle in the wilderness.

Now that Huang Zhong is about to fight, it is bound to be a battle on the plains outside, so that the situation is more favorable to him.

Of course, these are not the most important, the reason that really made Lu Bu agree was that Xiangyang, as the seat of Jingzhou, must be conquered.

Otherwise, if you make a detour, the door of the entire Guanzhong will be wide open, you must know that with Huang Zhong's ability and 50,000 elite troops, it is not impossible to send troops to Sizhou.

Once Huang Zhong sends troops to Sizhou, it will definitely make Sizhou go into battle and chaos, and Lu Bu knows in his heart that the vitality that has just appeared in Sizhou must not be interrupted by Huang Zhong.

Compared with Jingzhou, Sizhou is the foundation of Zhao Wang Lu Bu.

What's more, this time he went south to Jingzhou, he had already made protracted preparations, and he knew in his heart that if he wanted to destroy the princes of a place, it would be difficult to die in a battle.

……

Listening to the words of Lu Bu and the others, Jia Xu's eyes rolled, and he deduced it in his heart, and said.

"Lord, in this case, it is a foregone conclusion that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao will go south, we can only mobilize a large army from Chang'an to the south, otherwise our army will be weak in terms of troops."

"Hmm."

Nodding, Lu Bu approved of Jia Xu's suggestion, because he knew that mobilizing the army to the south was already an inevitable foregone conclusion.

Now that the war has dragged on again and again, it is impossible to break Xiangyang in one battle and interrupt the madness of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. During the period when Liu Biao went south, he was bound to gather his army of 500,000.

In this way, with the advantage of numbers, Liu Biao will drag himself to death in Jingzhou.

"Wenhe, this time Liu Biao is going south, this king can no longer interrupt it madly in one fell swoop, and it will inevitably cause an army of 500,000 to appear in Jingzhou."

A trace of worry flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "In this way, how many troops do you think this king should mobilize to go south to Jingzhou in order to completely occupy the seven counties of Jingzhou."

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce color, he always felt that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's behavior was a little abnormal, and he had obviously planned to win a battle in Xiangyang City and defend Xiangyang.

But in an instant, there was a change, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao unexpectedly went south, Jia Xu's heart flickered, he understood that something big must have happened in the middle of the thing that he didn't know.

The thought flickered in his heart, and under Lu Bu's sharp gaze, Jia Xu raised his head and said, "My lord, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao suddenly gave up resistance and chose to go south, and the minister always felt that this was a bureau."

"There is a master behind Liu Biao in Jingzhou who is instructing, otherwise Liu Biao's attitude would not have changed so quickly, and the minister thinks that our army must be cautious when going south."

"Whew."

……

Exhaling a cool breath, Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Since Wenhe is like this, what do you think this king should do to avoid it?"

Hearing this, a touch of coldness flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and said: "Send troops to Jingzhou to fight Huang Zhong, capture Xiangyang City, and take this as a basis to look at the entire Jingzhou, and then stop advancing and confront Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao."
