Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Lu Bu has made up his mind, even if it is inexplicable...
Lu Bu's mind was made up. Even though he inexplicably followed his brother's insistence and lay down on the couch to rest, his mind would not change.
Early the next morning, Han Xin, who was always restless, could not sit still. When he wanted to talk to his wise brother, he came to nothing in the tent.
After getting directions from his bodyguard, he found his way to the school grounds.
He arrived a little later, and saw the wise brother in the cold spring, still naked as if nothing had happened, his muscular upper body with tight muscles and smooth lines, covered with sweat beads glistening in the sun; but he missed the other party's performance in the name of martial arts. , the process of easily knocking down a group of soldiers.
When he saw the wise brother riding a jade lion with great vigour, one person and one horse showing off his power and energy, he had to believe that this wise brother who had always been so aggressive had really changed his temper because of impulsiveness. .
In this case, thinking that the opportunity was fleeting, Han Xin stopped being polite to Lu Bu and quickly ordered his deputy general Li Bi to organize the army.
As soon as noon passed, we set off smoothly and headed north.
Lu Bu stood lazily at the top of Chaoge City, watching the army march away in great force, and he did not stay in the city longer.
He was more convenient and chose Zhou Lan, the deputy general who was accompanying the army on this trip, to stay here.
Zhou Lan was shocked when he suddenly learned that the Lord was going to use Qingqi and reduce his followers, but left him to garrison the city.
His first reaction was to object: "Please think again, Lu Sima, this is absolutely -"
Lu Bu was sitting on the ground with a nonchalant look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Lan lightly: "Huh?"
He simply raised his eyebrows, causing Zhou Lan to fall silent.
Seeing Zhou Lan's stubborn look on his face, pouting and trying to persuade him again, Lu Bu simply stood up.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly inserted his right hand on his thin waist, clearly revealing the powerful Longyuan Sword, and pretended to be surprised: "Can't--?"
What do you think, you little brat, you dare to object?
Do you dare to speak again to the sword given by the king?
Zhou Lan wanted to cry but had no tears.
He is not a blind fool, how can he not understand the meaning behind the words of this extremely casual commander?
Although he was full of advice and advice, Lu Bu had a fiery temper that even the king dared to use his old fist. How could he listen to his mere lieutenants?
After seeing that he had frightened Zhou Lan, Lu Bu snorted proudly and hid in the barracks.
After careful selection, Lu Bu ordered no more than two thousand soldiers, and he happily left Zhou Lan with a sad face and set off happily to the west.
Before the cheap man left, he had already found out: there were already two batches of grain teams on the way from Xianyang.
Although I don’t know the exact location, as long as I walk from east to west, I will encounter it sooner or later.
Sure enough, after only two days and one night, Lu Bu ran into a Chu army driving a car and loading large and small bags.
Lian Ao, who was supervising the transportation of this batch of grain and grass, was shocked when a line of cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them, looking as fierce as tigers coming out of the gate.
After seeing clearly the uniforms of the same Chu army at the next glance, he let out a breath of fear.
Only then did he have time to identify the identity of the person through the pair of extremely eye-catching pheasant tail feathers.
Why is General Lu here?
Although he didn't dare to ask aloud, his thoughts were written all over his face.
Lu Bu was in a good mood. After understanding it at a glance, he kindly replied: "The king has an order, please ask the capable generals to do more work and help escort the car."
"Thank you very much, General Lu."
Lian Ao was flattered and saluted repeatedly, but Lu Bu stopped him with an impatient wave of his hand, and asked casually: "How is General Zhang? Is the situation in the city okay?"
It was a pity that Lian Ao could not see General Zhang Han as the commander-in-chief at all except on the day when he received the order. He was usually in the military camp. He hesitated when he heard the words and was extremely anxious, but he could not explain why.
Lu Bu saw that he couldn't do anything for a long time, so he simply didn't wait any longer. He waved his hand again and urged him to move on: "Stop talking nonsense and get on the road quickly. Old——I am not far behind, I will call you." Nothing will happen."
He couldn't speak well, and he didn't know what to ask.
What else can be done?
It's better to send the food and grass quickly to avoid starving the sergeant under that fool's command.
Lian Ao Rumeng was pardoned, and he was already leaving in a hurry. Now he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly urged his sergeants to start again.
Although Lu Bu and his cavalry did not follow closely, Lian Ao, who had been on tenterhooks all the way, miraculously felt at ease with the weighty promise of "not far behind".
Lu Bu honestly and honestly stayed not far away and escorted the people into the Chu Kingdom. Then a group of people turned their horses' heads amidst trembling thanks and went to look for the second carriage of food.
Then he followed the same example and smoothly sent the second truck of food teams in. However, there was not even a hair on Peng Yue or Chen Yu's party members.
Lu Bu finally felt that something was wrong.
——Could it be that he was following too close and the two mice with very sensitive noses noticed him?
Lu Bu thought hard for a while, and finally realized that going back and forth like this was really time-consuming and labor-intensive. It would also be easy to scare the snake, and he would not be able to catch anyone for a long time.
So he decided to break them up on the spot, and divide the two thousand cavalry into five hundred groups, one hundred people per group, making a total of five groups and disperse them in all directions.
He himself was looking for a small village nearby to stay temporarily.
When the cavalry sent out discovered the traces of Peng Yue or Chen Yu, they immediately sent one person back.
When he came to report, he rushed over and gave him a head-on blow.
As soon as Lu Bu comes up with an idea, he does it.
It was also his good luck - it had only been five days since the troops were divided, and there was news that there was actually a team.
Although Chen Yu was not found, they discovered Peng Yue who was hiding in Yan County.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and shouted: "Hurry up and come with me! It's too late and there will be no meat to eat!"
The two thousand soldiers selected by him were all good men with temperaments that suited his appetite and superb riding skills.
At this moment, it was easy for him to shout loudly and his blood boiled with passion. He yelled excitedly to fight and kill while galloping after the general.
At this moment, Peng Yue's whereabouts have been discovered, and a disaster is imminent.
He was originally from Changyi. Since he was close to Juye Ze, he had made a living by fishing since he was a child. He also became friends with a group of fishermen in the same situation as brothers.
The troubled times had just begun, and when they heard the news that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were raising troops, some villagers encouraged him to take advantage of the situation and rise up.
He was not in a hurry at the time, but patiently waited and watched for more than a year. It was not until he was sure with his own eyes that Qin's destruction was inevitable that he gathered his people into an army and became an extremely inconspicuous member of the feudal lords in the Central Plains.
Because his performance was not obvious and he never followed Xiang Yu into the Pass, he later lost his title.
The reason why Peng Yue took the risk of losing his head and raised an army was because he wanted to gain wealth and glory by his own efforts.
The reason why he did not attach himself to Chu was because he knew very well that Xiang Yu, who was born into a noble family of Chu State, was arrogant and had extremely high vision, unless he was like Ying Bu who had unparalleled military courage and was willing to risk his life. Go, otherwise relying on him will be nothing more than flattering the princes who flatter him.
He couldn't even get into Xiang Yu's eyes, let alone stand out.
However, when he initially favored Liu Bang and wanted to attack Changyi County, he was unable to capture the city because of his lack of strength, so he had to temporarily part ways.
The successful Japanese attack on Jiyin had boosted morale and was a good time to recruit troops. However, unexpectedly, Han Xin, who appeared out of nowhere but was a solid and tough guy, beat him to a pulp.
If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, how could he have bothered to protect his soldiers if his life was at stake?
He fled into the forest. He originally wanted to take advantage of the terrain and let out a fierce breath. Unexpectedly, Han Xin was very alert. After chasing him for a short distance, he refused to go deeper.
He suffered heavy losses and did not dare to easily test the Chu army's city. In addition, he wanted to restore his troops, so he simply wandered back to Changyi and set up camp in the familiar Juyeze.
He was originally worried that he would be suppressed by Chu officials and sent troops, but it happened to be a good time for Yingbu to rebel against Chu and invade Chu territory to burn, kill and loot, completely invoking Xiang Yu's hatred.
Taking advantage of the chaos everywhere, he secretly took in the scattered remnants while looting the surrounding areas and occupying the mountains as king.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When he saw that the development momentum was good and he had accumulated more than 10,000 people under his command, Xiang Yu, who had been stationed in Lingbi and stood still, actually began to move north.
From Lingbi to Boyang, the capital of the old Jibei Kingdom, you must pass through Huling and cross Sishui - only forty miles west of Huling is Juyeze where he is stationed.
As his military strength increased, the area where he moved also continued to expand, and his momentum became more and more powerful around him, reaching the point where it could not be concealed.
How dare he continue to hang out in Juyeze when Xiang Yu's hundreds of thousands of brave and elite soldiers passed by?
As a last resort, he had no choice but to move westward with the more than 10,000 people he had just gathered.
Drawing lessons from the experience in Jiyin City, he did not dare to seize food from the tiger's mouth in Chu territory and launch an attack on a large city that could be reinforced by Chu's main army at any time.
Therefore, when passing through Chengyang and Yanxian County, they did not stay much.
But he led a crowd of ten thousand people and had to soon face the dilemma of insufficient food and grass.
Simply plundering some small villages along the way was obviously not enough to make ends meet.
Seeing that the rations he carried were about to bottom out, Peng Yue was anxious for a while, and finally thought about the Chu army's grain transport convoy.
He had been active in Liangdi. Although he was not familiar with the terrain in the Guanzhong area, he knew several roads that must be passed to transport grain and grass from Xianyang.
Although the Chu army is unparalleled in strength, it is destined to have weaknesses.
In terms of food supply and logistics, no military force can be impeccable.
He relies on the over 10,000 men under his command to surprise him and launch a strong attack, and the grain team will definitely not be able to withstand it.
If this happens, he will not only obtain military rations and relieve his temporary crisis of lack of food and grass, so that he can survive the period of being forced to wander outside; he can also disrupt the Chu army's food and grass supply and slow down Zhang Er. The pressure from the anti-Chu alliance also revealed his bad temper at being driven out of Jiyin and his army being completely defeated.
Killing three birds with one stone, why not?
With this in mind, Peng Yue sent people to conduct a careful investigation of the grain road, and then carefully considered the method of surprise attack.
He has always been able to keep his composure. In order to ensure that nothing was lost, he could just sit back and watch the world in chaos and the turmoil in the Wei Kingdom for more than a year without taking any action, let alone just rob a grain team?
What Peng Yue never dreamed of was that despite his careful calculation, he was destined to be a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind.
——When Lu Bu asked his servants to wrap the horse's hooves with cloth, and the horse held a wooden stick in its mouth and quietly approached the more than ten thousand fat sheep from behind, almost all the body was filled with a familiar excitement.
I remember that back then, I took the Meng Gourd with the surname Gao and easily defeated the more than 10,000 Montenegrin troops with only the 800 light cavalry trapped in the camp.
That was an unparalleled majesty that made the incompetent Yuan Xiaoqi stunned and deeply fearful!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled scornfully.
I am killing all around and calling the enemy
When the army heard the news and became frightened, these little brats in front of them, who knew nothing about the world, had not yet come out... they had been dead for hundreds of years!
