The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Page 827

Therefore, Guo Jia was particularly curious about this.

Seeing Guo Jia's inquisitiveness, Lu Bu said calmly: "What's so good about being an emperor? I've been trapped in a palace cage all my life, and there are piles of memorials every day, and there are many big and small things... It’s enough, I’m good at leading soldiers to fight, but if you want me to govern the country, I’m not that material.”

Lu Bu is very self-aware.

On the other side, the cavalry pawns sent to deliver letters to Gao Shun soon arrived in Shanyang County and successfully met Gao Shun.

Gao Shun, who was wearing a general's armor, exuded a majestic aura, looked at Li Hei who was delivering the letter, and asked in a deep voice: "My lord called you here, but something happened to the Heze camp?"

"Return to General Gao, everything is well in the Heze Camp, my lord asked me to hand this over to you, saying that it can help you break the city." Li Hei took out the parchment from his pocket and handed it to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun was skeptical, and led his army to march eastward from the Heze camp, with few opponents along the way.Only in Changyi City, the last base camp of Cao Jun, he encountered the most difficult opponent since joining the army-Xun Yu.

Even if Gao Shun tried his best, it was still difficult to break through the city.

He gathered Zhang Liao, Fang Yue, Zang Ba and other generals around him, and his soldiers and horses combined totaled more than [-] soldiers, and Xun Yu, who was guarding the city, also had [-] soldiers and horses.

During this period, Gao Shun launched several strong attacks, but Xun Yu had many means of defending the city. Most of his soldiers were killed before they could reach the city wall, causing morale to plummet.

Gao Shun also used other strategies such as "Combining from inside to outside" and "Concealing the sky and crossing the sea", but Xun Yu saw through all of them, and sometimes he used them as tricks. If Gao Shun hadn't been prudent, it is estimated that more than half of the casualties have been killed by Xun Yu. .

After several months, the two sides went back and forth with each other, and each suffered casualties.

It is precisely because of his understanding of Xun Yu that he can break through the city with just a piece of parchment, Gao Shun somewhat does not believe it.

After Li He stepped back, Gao Shun sat down and opened the parchment.I saw that there are dense patterns drawn on it, and the key points are specially prepared with words to explain the ingenuity.

Gao Shun watched carefully, and unconsciously became engrossed. After he finished reading, it was already early morning and late at night.

After putting away the parchment, Gao Shun went out of the tent to patrol the night camp, feeling very excited and excited.If this kind of equipment can really be made, it will be just around the corner to break through Changyi City.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Shun sent someone to find Zhang Liao and Fang Yue.

"General Gao, you are in such a hurry to find us, but something important happened?" Zhang Liao pressed his hand on the sword at his waist, and asked directly after entering the account.

Gao Shun was noncommittal, and first gave instructions to Fang Yue who was next to Zhang Liao: "Fang Yue, from now on, send your soldiers to Hoshan in the northeast to mine stones day and night, and bring back as many large stones as possible. .”

Faced with the order issued by Gao Shun, Fang Yue felt a little baffled: "There are still so many stones dug last time, why are you starting to get stones again?"

When he first came here, Gao Shun used trebuchets to attack the city, but the effect was minimal, so there was only a large pile of stones left, which formed a small position.

If you want a stone, just bulldoze it there, will you have it soon?

Gao Shun seemed to have guessed Fang Yue's thoughts, shook his head and said, "The stones are not enough, so if I don't tell you to stop, you keep digging until I tell you to stop."

not enough?

Fang Yue was even more puzzled: "General Gao, don't you mean to tell me that you want to build a house here and settle down?"

There was a bit of joking in the words, but Gao Shun was not in the mood for joking, and ordered seriously: "Just follow the orders."

Gao Shun was the coach of this trip, and Fang Yue definitely couldn't hold him back, not to mention how much he admired Gao Shun, so he nodded and said "yes", and set off to dig stones with the troops of the headquarters.

After Fang Yue left, Gao Shun handed the parchment on the table to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao quickly browsed through it, but didn't quite understand the key points, so he asked in doubt: "General Gao, is this the weapon you drew?"

Gao Shun shook his head, explained the origin of the sheepskin scrolls, and then told Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, listen carefully now, I want you to secretly supervise the production of a hundred according to the procedures on the drawings. This matter can only be done by you. Know that I know, don't let other people know, including the generals in the army. When the time comes to break through Changyi City, I will definitely remember your great contribution!"

Hearing Gao Shun's solemn tone, Zhang Liao also knew that this matter should not be neglected, so he clasped his fists and said in a firm voice, "Take orders!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A few days later, in the State Shepherd's Mansion in Changyi City. ..

Xun Yu, the commander-in-chief of logistics, was browsing the information from various places, his brows were slightly frowned from time to time. Except for this Changyi city and a few counties in Yanzhou, almost fell into the hands of Lu Bu, and it could be said that he was in a desperate situation.

But even so, Xun Yu firmly believed that victory would eventually belong to them.

At this moment, Li Tong walked into the hall and reported with his hands folded: "Mr. Xun Ling, the spies came to report just now, saying that there is a team of thousands of horses, and they are heading towards the direction of Mount Consuming."

Consumption mountain?

Xun Yu whispered, and quickly collected all the information about Huashan in his mind, and asked, "Do you know the purpose of their trip?"

Li Tong shook his head slightly, and replied truthfully: "According to the spies, most of these enemy soldiers are carrying tools such as sledgehammers and chisels. It looks like they are going to mine rocks that consume mountains."

"Could it be that Gao Shun wanted to use the trebuchet to attack the city again?" Mao Jie in the hall expressed his opinion. After all, Gao Shun had used the trebuchet before this, although the effect was minimal, but he was not sure. Will do it again.

"Probably not." Xun Yu stroked his short beard lightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After several months of fighting with Gao Shun, Xun Yu more or less had a certain understanding of this person.

Gao Shun is proficient in military art, good at arranging formations and fighting, commanding advances and retreats in battle, he is an absolute commander in chief, but it is a pity that he is secretly cast, if he can be used by Cao Cao, he will be able to shine.

such a pity!

Xun Yu sighed in his heart, feeling sorry for Gao Shun.

"Xun Lingjun, should we take this opportunity to launch an attack?" Li Tong's eyes were full of fighting intent.

Xun Yu thought about it for a while, then shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "No need, Gao Shun acts cautiously, it is difficult to catch his sore feet, so don't act rashly if you are not sure. Just keep the city.”

"Also, these days, you should send more people to investigate, and you must find out the purpose of Gao Shun's move."

"Yes!" Li Tong clasped his fists in response.

Afterwards, Mao Jie asked again: "Ling Jun, what should we do next?"

Xun Yu paused his pen, and only said one word, wait.

"Wait?" Mao Jie muttered, his expression was full of doubts, he couldn't figure it out.

Xun Yu nodded. In the current situation in Changyi, the two sides have reached a delicate balance point, and no one can do anything to the other.The only thing you can do is to wait patiently.

Gao Shun was waiting for the big victory of Lu Bu's army, so why didn't they wait for the victory of the eldest son?

"Then what if we lose?" Lu Qian, who was outspoken, slapped his mouth twice with his hand after saying this, realizing that he had said something unlucky.

Mao Jie and others present all gave Lu Qian a look, only Xun Yu looked as usual, and said calmly: "If you lose... then you can only withdraw from Yanzhou and go to Xuzhou to compete with Liu Bei. ..”

"but……"

As soon as Xun Yu's voice changed, a wise look flashed in his eyes, as if he had a chance to win: "The eldest son will not lose!"

Everyone in the hall was skeptical. After all, the talented and strategic lord is gone. Can the eldest son really stop Lu Bu's tiger-wolf teacher?

Everyone put a big question mark in their hearts.
