When Hu Zhen heard this plan, he was overjoyed and said, "It's such a good plan!"

Lu Bu and Xu Rongxiao were fierce, even if Wen Chou was attacked by Sun Jian, they would not be defeated for the moment. As long as there was this time difference, Hu Zhen could completely launch troops to attack quickly, destroy Wen Chou and Sun Jian's camp and attack the back formation. At that time, there were Lu Bu and Xu Rong in front and Hu Zhen in the back, but his own camp was lost. Wen Chou and Sun Jian would be defeated and fled.

After agreeing to this plan, Hu Zhen did not say hello to Xu Rong, and Lu Bu, so he dispatched troops and generals accordingly, and sent people to see Wen Chou and Sun Jian's camp, waiting for tomorrow's battle.

...

Lu Bu, Xu Rong in the camp.

Lu Bu is an outsider and is not favored by the direct descendants of the Liangzhou army such as Hu Zhen. Although Xu Rong had long been under Dong Zhuo's position, he was excluded by Hu Zhen and others because he was not from Liangzhou. The two of them lived a uncomfortable life in Dong's army. Logically speaking, the two should have "compassionate with each other" and had a common language between them, but the fact is: their friendship was only faint.

This is because:

For Xu Rong, he looked down on Lu Bu's character. He followed Dong Zhuo for many years and fought in the north. In the war, in order to survive, there were many people who rebeled the Lord. He had seen better than the Qiang and Hu in the north, the bandits in Bashu, and even the Yellow Turbans. There were all those who rebeled the Lord among the "chaotic army and bandit army". However, even those who rebeled the Lord and killed the old master were very few.

Lu Bu is known as the "Flying General" and is also a well-known "heroic man" in Bingzhou. He was credited by Ding Yuan. As Ding Yuan's "maintainer" and "maintainer" is like a secretary in later generations. He is one of the closest officials of the chief official. However, he killed Ding Yuan and presented Ding Yuan's head to Dong Zhuo to gain fame and wealth by himself. To be honest, Xu Rong hated Lu Bu's actions very much.

As for Lu Bu's side, he did not feel that it was any fault to kill Ding Yuan and dedicate Ding Yuan's head to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was in Beijing at that time and had almost controlled the court. Didn’t many of the ministers and ministers in the court "relatively surrender" to Dong Zhuo? So what’s the fault of Lu Bu killing Ding Yuan and replacing him with Dong Zhuo’s account?

Besides, Lu Bu didn't think Ding Yuan was his "former leader". Yes, Lu Bu was very trusted by Ding Yuan and appointed as the "principal clerk". However, before Ding Yuan became the governor of Bingzhou, Wu Meng's commander, and took office in the Bingzhou army. It was not Ding Yuan who promoted him from a humble state. In Lu Bu's view, Ding Yuan was at most his superior, but this "superior" was very nice to him, and the reason he was good to him was only because he valued his bravery, that's it.

In addition, under Ding Yuan, he was just a "primary clerk". After replacing himself with Dong Zhuo's account, he was now a general of the Central Army, and was also named Duting Hou, and his strength was expanded. Some of the Bingzhou soldiers who were originally Ding Yuan were assigned to him by Dong Zhuo. Not only himself, but also the generals under his account were all promoted and made a fortune, and their strength increased greatly. Lu Bu asked himself: What is his fault?

Lu Bu didn't think it was wrong to kill Ding Yuan, so he could not understand the "prejudice" of Xu Rong and others towards him, and Xu Rong was also a capable person. Although he was excluded in Dong Zhuo's army, he is now a general of the Central Army with a value of 2,000 stones. Because he had an opinion of Lu Bu, he would inevitably ignore Lu Bu. This fell into Lu Bu's eyes, so he believed that Xu Rong was arrogant because of his courage.

When it comes to "courage", who did Lu Bu give way?

Therefore, since Xu Rong didn't like Lu Bu, Lu Bu was too lazy to interact with him.

But he said: Since Lu Bu and Xu Rong didn't have much contact, why did Lu Bu still say "Hu Zhen has no courage" to Xu Rong? Logically speaking, such words should be said by people close to each other. If you say something to an unfamiliar person, you won't offend Hu Zhen? This is because of Lu Bu's personality. Lu Bu is not a meticulous person and has no genius. Many times he will say whatever he thinks. For this reason, Gao Shun advised him many times, saying that he "will not think about his actions in detail, and he likes to make mistakes, and he is uncountable." Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun was right, but by nature, it was difficult to change it in the end, so he said "Hu Zhen has no courage" to Xu Rong.

Although Xu Rong and Lu Bu have a faint relationship, they are now in the first battalion and are facing a strong enemy like Wen Chou. However, they both gave up their prejudices and since they got the military order of Hu Zhen to "attack Huang Gai tomorrow, Sun Ben".

The next morning, not long after dawn, Wen Chou and Sun Jian heard the sound of drums coming from Dongying.

Wen Chou was in his own camp and quickly left the tent outside the tent and ordered people to prepare horses. Dian Wei and others were guarded by him, and then went to Sun Jian's camp to meet Sun Jian.

"Zixiao, have you heard the drums too?"

Sun Jian was not in the tent, but had climbed up the stairs and looked up at Dongying in the distance.

The viewing building in Sun Jian Camp is very high. Standing on the roof, although it is too far apart, you can still not see the specific movements inside and outside the Dong Camp, but you can see it roughly.

Wen Chou stood beside him, looking up at the distance.

The weather today is good, it is a sunny day, with cloudless sky, morning light falling, and mountains and forests far and near, bathing in the vast pass, the mountains are towering and forests, the military flags fluttering on the pass, the wind is as cool as water, smelling the sound of birds singing, and the sound of birds singing from time to time, coupled with the red sun born in the east, this should have been a cheerful autumn dynasty, which opens the horizon and feels refreshing. However, when you look up the tower, you will see Lu Bu, Xu Rongying, and Huanggai, west of Taigu Pass, and Hu Zhenying, and then you will see smoke and dust hidden in the camp at this time.

Wen Chou said: "Dong Bing acted so quickly."

Although Wen Chou had guessed from Dong Jun's move of "frequently peeking about Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp" yesterday that Dong Jun might have to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben first, he did not expect that the two Dong soldiers had just joined outside the pass yesterday and the war was about to start today.

Fortunately, Wen Chou discovered Dong Jun's intention in time yesterday. After a night of preparation, he and Sun Jian had made arrangements.

Wen Chou said intently: "It's so dangerous! I had to have prepared something last night and I had prepared something. I couldn't say it this morning, and I would be in a hurry." While thinking, he turned his eyes to Huang Gai and Sun Ben camp between Lu Xu and Hu Zhen, and saw Huang and Sun Ben camps. At this moment, he was also invisible to smoke and dust. He listened to him and could hear the sound of drums coming from the two camps.

Huang Gai and Sun Ben camp were trapped in Lu Xu and Hu Zhen camp. Last night, Sun Jian had sent someone to remind them that Dong Bing might attack them first, and they were at the brunt of the enemy. Sun Jian was more cautious and cautious than Wen Chou. Last night, they were all waiting for the night, so their response was very fast. As soon as they heard the sound of Dong camp drums this morning, Sun Ben immediately mobilized the soldiers, strengthened their defense, and prepared for battle. (To be continued.)
