Since we have made a decision, we need to consider how to transfer Lu Bu out? In fact, it is very simple. Just pretend to attack Taigu Pass. Lu Bu came to rescue Taigu Pass, so of course it is impossible to sit still and watch Taigu be attacked.

Therefore, Sun Jian made a decision based on this: divide 5,000 troops to Wu Jing, and Wu Jing and Huang Gai and Sun Ben from Guanxi jointly attacked Taigu, and then Lu Bu was dispatched to rescue him. Then Cheng Pu and Han Dang ruled the infantry and lined up to prevent Lu Bu's advance, while consuming his sharpness. When the sharpness was almost consumed, Sun Jian personally led two thousand cavalry to attack from the flanks of Lu Bu's troops.

Sun Jian still attached great importance to Lu Bu and did not despise him because he had only 3,000 cavalry. In addition to leaving behind thousands of mobile and conquering soldiers, he used more than 10,000 infantry and almost all 2,000 cavalry, which was obviously a lion fighting against the rabbit and putting all his strength. According to his fighting style, as long as Lu Bu was deceived, he would save himself, and not only 10% of the chances of winning, but also 90%.

According to Sun Jian's strategy, Sun Jun chose the battlefield to the southeast of Taigu Pass. There was an open plain area here, which not only allowed the large-scale battle of infantrymen, but also was a must-pass place for Lubu Taigu Guandong to rush to Taigu.

Sun Jian first led two thousand cavalry to ambush the forests and hills on the east side of the plains. Then Cheng Pu and Han Dangti led a large number of infantrymen to form a formation in the south of the plains. Finally, Wu Jing led 5,000 soldiers to the front of Taigu Pass, and Sun Ben also brought troops out of the camp and set up a formation at the western side of Taigu Pass.

In addition to these soldiers who were about to fight, there were still thousands of soldiers left in Sun Jian's army. These thousands of people did not go into battle. Under Sun He's leadership, they lined up behind Wu Jing and Cheng Pu's two formations, both as reserve teams and also used to suppress the situation.

After this mobilization, the more than 20,000 soldiers from Sun Jian's troops, except for the more than 2,000 partial divisions sent to Yique Pass earlier, all the remaining soldiers and horses were put into the battlefield. The mobilization of more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry could not be achieved overnight. It started in the morning and was not until almost noon that the formation was formed.

With so many soldiers and horses mobilized, it is obvious that it is impossible to hide it from Lu Bu. Lu Bu climbed up high and looked into the distance. Seeing the smoke and dust rolling on the left and right sides of Taigu Pass ahead, he startled the flying birds. He leaned on the iron spear in one hand and pointed it from the other. He smiled and said to the left and right, "If you just want to attack Taigu, you can't get so much movement, Sun Jian's son must have wanted to mobilize me to help Taigu, surround me and attack him to avenge his old days."

Those who followed Lu Bu were brave generals in his army, such as Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Xue Lan, Li Feng, etc.

Similar to Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Army, most of the soldiers under Lu Bu's tent were his fellow villagers, mostly from Bingzhou. Bingzhou and Liangzhou were in the same border areas, neighboring the Xiongnu and Western Qiang tribes. The people here, like the Liangzhou people, have been fighting against Qiang and Hu all year round, and they are all brave and brave. Even women can fight to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Therefore, the Bingzhou soldiers have always been known as the Liangzhou soldiers, and are called "Bingliang Fierce Soldiers". It is precisely because of this that when Dong Zhuo annexed the Bingzhou soldiers that day, he did not use the method of fighting in a fire, but adopted the method of bribery. Induced Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, it can be seen from this that the combat power of this army that could be feared by Dong Zhuo was.

Some of the powerful generals under Lu Bu's tent may not be famous in the Central Plains. However, in the Bingzhou area, they are all famous local brave tiger soldiers. Many of them were famous swordsmen in counties before joining the army. They were light knights, swordsmen, and light knights had a common characteristic, that is, "shang Qi commits suicide". At this time, after hearing Lu Bu's contempt jokes, most of these people laughed loudly.

Among the generals, Wei Xu and Lu Bu were close to each other, and they had a marriage relationship. Therefore, Wei Xu was one of the most trusted people. After laughing for a while, he looked at the dust and rolling in the distance with contempt, spit on the ground, and said disdainfully: "I have heard of Sun Jian's name for a long time. In the past, he came from Duke Zhu to fight against the Yellow Turban, fought in Runan, and was surrounded by thieves. He almost died in the wild. He followed Duke Zhang to fight against Bian Zhang. Han Sui, in the army for several months, was just a talk, but he made no contribution. Later, he won the power of Duke Zhu and even to combat the thieves in Changsha. Although he won, what is the thief in Changsha? He was famous for it! It was so ridiculous."

Cheng Lian was a powerful general with many powerful generals under Lu Bu's tent. He didn't take Sun Jian into consideration and said, "I heard that Wen Chou called Sun Jian the 'Jiangdong Tiger'... General, I used to come to the Central Plains and didn't know the customs of the Central Plains. Could it be that in this place, any cat or dog can be called 'Tiger'?" The generals laughed again.

However, not everyone will flatter Lu Bu at once. After hearing Cheng Lian's words, Gao Shun disagreed. He said: "Sun Jian is a southerner, and many southerner people are good at fighting. I heard that Sun Jian is the first in every war and often takes blood in front of him. Even if he loses a little, he wins more. He is a real powerful general. He should not be underestimated!" He advised Lu Bu, saying, "General must not underestimate the enemy."

Among the generals under Lu Bu's tent, Gao Shun was an anomaly.

Some of Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were originally gentlemen, while others were powerful families, and most of them were willing to be arrogant, but Gao Shun was not the case. First of all, Gao Shun did not drink alcohol. This one was different from Cheng Lian, including Lu Bu, and others. How could a general who led troops not drink alcohol? Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were all gentlemen and powerful. As a "heroic man", drinking all night long is ordinary. If they were not allowed to drink alcohol, it would be better to kill them. Another one was Gao Shun's failure to accept gifts. How could the general who led troops to fight make a fortune? One was to plunder, and the other was to accept filial piety from subordinates and local officials, but Gao Shun did not drink alcohol, but he did not accept gifts. He was so innocent and had great majestic military management. Of course, he was unique under Lu Bu's tent.

——In fact, not only under Lu Bu’s tent, but also in Wen Chou and Sun Jian’s army, he was also a rare person.

Sun Jian's army did not say it, but only talked about whether there were people like Gao Shun in the Wen Chou army? There were, but very few. Yan Liang and Zhao Yun were two. They were both innocent and majestic in the military, but they were different from Gao Shun. Although they didn't drink much, they would not mislead things, but at least they would drink some when they should drink; another one, Lu Liang and Han Meng were also barely two, but they also drank, and they didn't accept any gifts.

So, Gao Shun is really an anomaly.

It is precisely because of his abnormality that he was not very close to other generals under Lu Bu's tent. Lu Bu was not particularly close to him, nor was it that Lu Bu or others had any opinions about him, saying that he was noble or something. Most of Lu Bu and others respected him very much, but because they could not do what Gao Shun did, they inevitably "stay away from him" to him. (To be continued.)
