Chapter 128: The sky has changed
Lu Bu and his people fought with the Jingzhou army at Bowangpo.
Under the impact of Lu Bu personally led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, he won three battles on land, which made Huang Zu have to retreat and set up camp on the spot, so he stayed in the door and could only rely closely on Cai Mao's troops who led the navy and confronted Lu Bu's army.
For a time, under the leadership of Lu Bu, the soldiers of the entire army were also very aggressive and showed their sharpness, suppressing the Jingzhou army no longer had the courage to fight with it.
But things finally turned out.
Even in the southern part of Nanyang, Lu Bu has the upper hand.
But Nanyang was already west. After Li Jie and his main troops returned to Wuguan, they all went out of the pass and moved into Danshui, hoping to cross the river to attract Zhang Liao to lead his troops out of the city to attack.
But Zhang Liao did not do what he wanted.
Considering that his troops were too weak and the combat power of the Western Liang army was extremely strong, he also suppressed the strong fighting spirit of the soldiers and could not defend them.
The confrontation lasted for several days without success.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was determined to drag the war down.
Li Jue was also very anxious.
He was very clear about Lu Bu's courage. If he was really allowed to defeat the Jingzhou army and return with the victorious army, the situation would be bad!
Mixed with thoughts deep in his heart, Li Jue couldn't help but ask for help from Jia Xu, who almost responded to his request.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu was also calm and said:
"General, you can send troops to cross Wudang Mountain and go around to the shore of Mi in the east of Danshui to launch a double-sided attack on Shunyang."
"According to military newspapers, the military strength left behind Shunyang is insufficient. Under the attack, Zhang Liao is definitely not able to withstand our army's offensive."
"good!"
"Just act according to the text and this plan."
Due to the last time Yuan Yao's disagreement and division, he became suspicious and forced Jia Xu to leave and return home.
This time, after he recalled him back to the court, he was extremely respectful and trusted to Jia Xu, and he also gave him a great respectful position.
The suggestions were adopted one after another.
With Jia Xu's plan, the Xiliang army units still built rafts as usual, and made plans to cross the river and attack Shunyang, but secretly prepared themselves, waiting for the strategy of crossing Wudang Mountain to get behind the enemy.
He suddenly launched a fierce attack and broke the city in one fell swoop.
A few days passed.
Perhaps because of the Western Liang army's acting skills, Zhang Liao did not notice anything abnormal about Wudang Mountain. He had arrived at Li Meng, who was ordered to run, and Wang Fang led his troops to successfully circumnate to the rear of Shunyang.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jue no longer hesitated and immediately led his troops to cross the river and attack.
The main force of the Lu army had already followed Lu Bu to deal with the Jingzhou army. The military strength of its stay in Shunyang was extremely weak. It happened that it was impossible to compete with the attack on both sides.
Fierce battle soon.
Zhang Liao and his troops retreated to Shunyang, so they had to lead the remaining troops to quickly run eastward, flee to Wancheng, and Anzhong.
Shunyang.
At this moment, the situation in Nanyang suddenly reversed.
The western part of the Nanyang Basin is open.
The strong Western Liang cavalry of the Xiliang Army began to play an extremely important role in the endless basin.
With the advantage of tens of thousands of troops, Li Jue conquered Nanxiang one after another, and the champion and other strong soldiers pointed directly to Wancheng, the hinterland of Nanyang, and the Anzhong area.
After hearing this battle report, Lu Bu, who was confronting Jingzhou Army in Bowangpo, suddenly showed shock.
He did not expect that Zhang Liao, who had always been rigorous in military use, was easily broken through to the Western Division by the Western Liang army and then killed him in the hinterland of Nanyang.
But the door has been lost, and Lu Bu also knew in his heart that it would be extremely unrealistic to try to fight one against two in the basin with his own weak force alone!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu had to take advantage of the fact that the Jingzhou army had not yet obtained this change and suddenly led his troops to the north.
He quickly returned to Wancheng, Anzhong and other places. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Lu Bu made up his mind and decided to give up Nanyang County and live a life of escape again.
But nearly thousands of infantry under his command were natives in Nanyang, and he did not feel much belonging to Lu Bu's style of levying heavy taxes. Now, how can he let these soldiers escape?
Therefore, just as Lu Bu and his party fled to Luyang, which was north of Nanyang and was about to enter the Sili territory, the soldiers from Nanyang had already escaped seven or eight out of ten.
In the end, only the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Gao Shun personally formed the camp of the trap, and the total military strength was only more than 2,000.
Not long after, Lu Bu tasted the taste of escape again after the last battle of Chang'an.
After entering the Sili realm, Lu Bu ordered his general to say:
"Qin Yilu, currently General Jianyi, the prefect of Hanoi, Zhang Yang, who is stationed in Hanoi, is my friend for many years and has a strong friendship. Now I order you to cross the river and meet him first to inform me that I am desperate and willing to stay temporarily!"
"See if he will accept me."
The order was passed down, and Qin Yilu received the order and then wanted to leave.
But before he set out, Lu Bu's army welcomed a very special secret envoy.
At this moment, Lu Bu also met this person.
"What, are you saying that if I let my marquis lead my troops eastward, will Chen Gong give me a mysterious gift?"
As the secret envoy slowly spoke, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Bu's face, and a deep and incomprehensible expression appeared in his words.
After being surprised, his eagle's eyes suddenly became cold and he said lightly:
"Chen Gong envoyed to deceive our marquis to lure our army to advance eastward. After entering the boundary of Yanzhou, how could he take the opportunity to set up an ambush and annihilate me?"
"Is this Chen Gong's plan?"
For a moment, Lu Bu spoke indifferently and responded in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the secret envoy was startled and was very anxious:
"Wen Hou thinks so?"
"hehe……"
"I heard that Chen Gong was one of the most powerful and trusted counselors under Cao Cao's command, and was extremely respected. His status in Yanzhou was also very respected. He sent You to contact this marquis, wouldn't he be decisive?"
"Or Chen Gong thinks that this marquis will be fooled?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu's mouth raised and he sneered repeatedly, as if he was succeeding by seeing through the other party's tricks.
But this is over.
After hearing this, the secret envoy suddenly laughed and stroking his beard.
With a smile on his face, Lu Bu was impatient and couldn't help but scold him sternly:
"What are you laughing?"
"Hahaha……"
Laughed again, and the secret envoy said:
"I think that what are you worried about when Mr. Wen is unwilling to lead his troops eastward? It turns out that he doesn't believe in the sincerity of the public station?"
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell Wen Hou the truth. We have reached a consensus with the Gongtai and are willing to raise an army to seize Yanzhou and expel Cao Cao."
Suddenly, the envoy quickly revealed the detailed plan.
"What? Do you want to rebel against Cao Cao?"
