Chapter 1093: Camping Against Common Sense
Following behind Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici did not speak.
The two of them already knew this Wen Hou very well, and for the sake of his military exploits, in order to let King Qin know that he was constantly working hard, he might even make a lot of crazy moves.
Jia Xu, who rode forward with Lu Bu, said to him with a smile on his face, stroking his beard and saying: "Earlier, Wen Hou was eager to make meritorious contributions, but he repeatedly defeated Cao's army but had no combat merits. β
"Oh?" What Lu Bu was most worried about was that after the army fought with Cao Jun, he was tied up for some reason, and when he heard Jia Xu say this, his eyes lit up, and he asked Jia Xu: "Why did Zhonglang say this?" β
"Wen Hou can see!" Raising his hand and pointing forward, Jia Xu said to Lu Bu: "Xuanyuan Pass has fallen into the hands of our army, and the Qingzhou army has to be deployed in Songshan for a generation!" With the combat strength of the Qingzhou Army, although the number of our army is inferior to them, it is easy to break them! β
"Is it really easy?" Turning his head to look at Jia Xu, Lu Bu raised his face and laughed a few times and said: "If it is really easy, how can Wen Chang lead the army earlier, but how can he not break the Qingzhou army?" β
Hearing Lu Bu's laughter, Jia Xu shook his head with a smile on his face and didn't say anything more.
Liu Wei only gave Lu Bu 30,000 soldiers and horses, and when he led this army with Lu Bu to go on the expedition, Jia Xu knew that Liu Wei must have deployed in other aspects this time, and with the 30,000 people led by Lu Bu, it was not difficult to break through the Qingzhou army, but it was not an easy task to break through Xudu.
Since the expedition, Jia Xu has known that they have once again become a sideline in this war.
It's just that Lu Bu didn't notice it, and even thought that the team he led would be the main force to capture Xu Du.
Seeing that Jia Xu was speechless, Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Zhonglang said that His Royal Highness would let go of a certain fight, I don't know how far I can go?" β
"As much as the temperature is tolerable, how much can be used!" Jia Xu, who had already seen through Liu Wei's intentions, just smiled and said this to Lu Bu, and then stopped speaking.
"That's great!" Lu Bu, who didn't hear the sound of the strings from Jia Xu's words, crossed his horse and whipped up, rushed forward for a while, held Fang Tian's halberd, raised the halberd and pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "A certain expedition today, swear to break the capital!" β
Looking at Lu Bu, who was riding a horse and jumping out of the distance, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, but they were speechless.
Although Zhang Liao and Tai Shici are fierce generals, they do not have the mood of Lu Bu to make meritorious contributions, for them, there is no difference between going out to be a partial forward and being the main force.
It's just that Lu Bu, I'm afraid that in the future, I will know that this expedition, and the biggest credit will fall into someone else's hands, and I will definitely be unhappy in my heart.
led the army all the way east, but in one day, the troops and horses led by Lu Bu arrived outside Xuanyuan Pass.
The Qin army guarding the pass saw that it was his own team coming, and after verifying his identity, he did not dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the pass and let Lu Bu and others go.
The 30,000 Qin troops entered the Xuanyuan Pass with neat steps, and as soon as they entered the pass, Lu Bu glanced back at the tall city wall.
He was very impressed by this wall.
It was here that day that he led three hundred Qin army warriors to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qingzhou army to kill the wall, and captured Xuanyuan Pass with very few casualties.
It was also here that he was inexplicably deprived of his military power by Liu Wei, and was summoned back to Luoyang to think about it behind closed doors.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt depressed in his heart, but this time it was good, King Qin did not completely hide him, but used him again at the most critical time.
The battle of Xuanyuan Pass will be a battle in which he will make a name for himself and make great achievements for Daqin!
Glancing back at the towering wall, Lu Bu raised his arm holding Fang Tian's halberd, and did not say anything, but continued to move forward on horseback.
After entering the pass, Lu Bu had no intention of ordering camp, and Zhang Liao reminded him in a whisper: "Warm wait, it's getting late, do you want to ......?"
Before Zhang Liao finished speaking, Jia Xu on the side glanced at him.
Seeing Jia Xu's color, Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped talking and didn't continue.
"It's getting late, and you have the advantage of being late!" Looking up at the remnants of the western sky, Lu Bu said to Zhang Liao: "Our army will advance a little further and enter the field of vision of the Qingzhou army, and at night, the Qingzhou army will come to rob the camp!" β
Lu Bu's words made Zhang Liao stunned for a moment.
He thought that Lu Bu was just greedy for merit and led the army to move forward blindly, but he didn't expect that he would have such considerations.
Jia Xu smiled and didn't say anything, from Lu Bu's expression, he could already see that this expedition, the Qingzhou army was afraid that it would be completely erased from Cao Jun's sequence from now on.
The army marched slowly, the remnants of the glow gradually fading, and the sky was completely dark.
Looking up at the gray-black sky, Lu Bu raised his arm and shouted, "Set up camp on the spot!" β
The place he chose to camp was an open area, and if an enemy army came to rob the camp, the enemy army could choose the direction of attack at will, which was very unfavorable to the Qin army.
Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, who followed Lu Bu on the expedition, saw that he chose such a place to camp, and they were both confused, and they couldn't figure out what he was going to do for a while.
Jia Xu, who went out with the army, didn't say anything when he saw that Lu Bu had chosen such a terrain, but just smiled and turned over and got off his horse.
"Zhonglang!" As soon as Jia Xu got off his horse, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici came to him, and Zhang Liao whispered: "The terrain here is wide, and although the camp of the army is flat, it is also convenient for the enemy to attack at night......"
"Wenyuan rest assured!" Without waiting for Zhang Liao to finish speaking, Jia Xu waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "Wen Hou has his own decision!" β
Zhang Liao and Tai Shici were stunned, and Lu Bu, who had just gotten off his war horse a little farther away, shouted to them: "Wenyuan, Ziyi, you two come here!" β
Hearing Lu Bu's greeting, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici glanced at each other, hugged their fists to Jia Xu together, and turned around and walked towards Lu Bu.
hugged his fists and gave Zhang Liao and Tai Shici a salute in return, and watched them leave, and when the two walked close to Lu Bu, Jia Xu raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a look of smugness.
LΓΌ Bu led his army through the Xuanyuan Pass and set up camp at the place where he was about to arrive at Songshan, and soon the news was reported to Sun Guan, who was leading his army to guard against the Qin army, by the Qingzhou army scouts who were wandering nearby.
During the Battle of Guandu, Sun Guan led the army to intercept the Qin army in the Songshan area, and fought several battles with the Qin army, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, but the Qin army never crossed Songshan Mountain.
At the beginning, the weakness of the Qin army made Sun Guan and the Qingzhou army under his command full of morale, and they inevitably despised the Qin army a little more.
Knowing that Lu Bu led the army to camp in the wilderness near Songshan, Sun Guan grinned, first waved his hand to the scout who reported the news, and waited until the scout left, he said to several generals behind him: "It is said that Lu Bu has courage and no strategy, and today it seems that this is really the case!" β
"What does the general say?" A partial general standing behind Sun Guan heard him say that Lu Bu was brave and unscrupulous, and hugged his fists and said: "Lu Bu is brave and crowns the three armies, and the general doesn't dare to underestimate him!" β
"What about the three armies of Yongguan?" Sun Guan sneered, waved his hand at the general who spoke, and said: "Marching and fighting, it is the soldiers who fight together, and the courage of the horseman, even if there is the power to shake the mountain, it is difficult to escape the defeat and death!" β
was reprimanded by Sun Guan, and the general hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.
"When the army marches and fights, the army is stationed, and the emphasis is on the back!" Facing the mountains and forests, Sun Guan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to the group of generals behind him: "Lu Bu chose to be stationed in such a territory, which is convenient for our army to attack at night!" The order went down, the troops were divided into three routes, and they stayed until the night was dark to attack the Qin army! β
"No!" The generals standing behind Sun Guan got the order and responded with their fists hugged.
Since the Battle of Guandu, the Qingzhou Army led by Sun Guan has always been stationed in the Songshan area.
Cao Cao and his staff knew very well that in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao suffered a big loss, and with Yuan Shao's temperament, he would definitely not stop there.
The southward march of the Yuan army will be followed by the eastward advance of the Qin army.
It is particularly important to intercept the Qin army at Xuanyuan Pass and Songshan Line.
A group of partial generals who had received Sun Guan's order turned around and ran to the soldiers under their respective commands, prepared their troops and horses, and prepared for the night attack on the Qin army.
Sun Guan ordered the Qingzhou army to prepare for a night attack, and the Qin army camp stationed in the wilderness was quiet at this time, except for a few Qin troops who were patrolling back and forth in the barracks, there was not a single redundant soldier walking around.
Every dozen or so steps in the barracks, a brazier was lit.
The flames in the brazier "whirred" in the night breeze, illuminating the surrounding area.
The occasional patrolling Qin army walking through the barracks walked past the braziers with neat steps.
Their feet slammed against the ground, making a neat and soft sound.
Except for the sound of burning flames in the brazier and the footsteps of the patrol soldiers, the entire barracks was so quiet that not even a single snoring could be heard.
The brazier was lit in the barracks, and although the light of the fire illuminated a nearby area, the night in the distance became more and more intense, and it was impossible to spot it immediately when looking out from the barracks, even if there were tens of thousands of troops approaching.
At the tooth gate of the barracks, two soldiers of the Qin army stood on the left and right, their eyes on the dark night in the distance.
The wilderness was silent in the night, and the mountains in the distance stood like mighty giants.
Looking around, the two soldiers of the Qin army did not dare to slack off for a moment.
They were given only one order, that is, as soon as they spotted the enemy troops who were coming to rob the camp, they immediately sent a signal to warn the whole army.
"Brother, you said that the Qingzhou Army would not be so bold and dare to rob our army's battalion, right?" Standing outside the tooth gate and looking at the dark night for a long time, a soldier of the Qin army lowered his voice and asked another Qin soldier on the side.
