Within Puyang City.
Report!
Lü Bu sat facing each other in the Chen Palace. A scout came to report.
"My lord, military advisor, the six waves of messengers we sent were all captured by Zang Ba and his men.”
Lu Bu was so angry that the wound on his shoulder was bleeding. He grimaced in pain,""Zang Ba, that dog, if I had known earlier, I would have stabbed him to death with my halberd! Alright,
I know."
Lu Bu's nonchalant expression had completely roused Chen Gongtai's fragile nerves.
"Fengxian! How could you not be anxious?”
"Hmm? What does Mr. Gongtai mean by this? I'm guarding Puyang. Zhang Wu is mostly a cavalry. Can he fly up the city wall?”
"I'm not talking about Puyang, I'm talking about Wenyuan!" Chen Gong was furious.”
"What about Wenyuan?" Thinking of his beloved general, Lu Bu felt much more relieved,""Anyway, you have already made a plan. When the Cao army attacks the city, Wen Yuan will
Leading the army to attack from both sides, Wen Yuan should be here by now, right? You insisted on sending a message to tell Wen Yuan not to return to the army and to clean up the Yanzhou counties. Isn't that unnecessary?”
Chen Gong was so angry that he didn't know how to explain it to Lu Bu. He was so anxious that he could only walk around the hall of the prefect's residence.
"Don't spin around. It's making me dizzy.”
"Fengxian! Lu Bu! What do you want me to say about you! On the city wall of Puyang, you leaked the military plan for a moment of competition! At this moment, Wen Yuan returned to the army, how could Zhang Wu not set up along the way?
Ambush? Once Wen Yuan's army is defeated, Wei Xu will only have 2,000 troops left. We will immediately become a lone army and ruin the good situation in Yanzhou!!”
"I haven't finished speaking…" Lu Bu muttered under his breath and couldn't sit still any longer. He returned to the back hall to find his wife, Lady Yan, and his daughter, Qiling. nor
Chen Gong, who was fuming behind him.
Lu Bu was quite sentimental. He brought his family with him when he went to war. Whenever the war was stable, he would spend some time with his family.
He might not be a qualified lord, a duke who could accomplish things, but he was definitely a qualified husband and a qualified father.
This action made Chen Gong click his tongue and sigh.
.........
West of Puyang, between the hills on both sides of the path.
Apart from the hundred flying bears guarding the captives, the remaining five thousand were sent out to merge with the two thousand flying bear cavalry led by Cao Ang.
Seven thousand men were gathered together, and they did not dismount, nor did they take their swords out of their hands, and were ready for battle.
"Ziqian, I've heard that Zhang Liao knows how to use troops. He's returning to help, so why would he not take the official road and choose this mountain path?”After the two armies merged, Cao Ang was automatically demoted from a general to Zhang Wu's deputy. At this moment, he was even more curious and asked.
Zhang Wu explained,
"Firstly, I ordered Xuan Gao to chase after the scouts and messengers. Flying Bear is riding on horses from Western Liang and is extremely fast. Ordinary scouts and messengers can't outrun them.
I have full authority to intercept the letter."
"The letter from Pu Yang cannot be sent out. That Zhang Liao doesn't know who led the army to attack Pu Yang. If my father-in-law returns to help, he will have at least 100,000 soldiers.
There were scouts everywhere. If he returned to help, wouldn't he be exposing himself?”
" Second, if we take the official road, Zhang Liao's troops will go straight to the north gate of Puyang. In front of the north gate is a plain that you can see as far as the eye can see. As long as you're not blind, you can see him leading his troops.
If he returned to Puyang, how could he form a pincer attack with Lu Bu?”
"Third, surprise attacks are fast and covert. Compared to the official road, the small road was not only dozens of miles closer to Puyang, but it had been in disrepair for a long time and no one had explored it.
If he chose this place, wouldn't it be fast and hidden?”
"In fact, because the letter from Puyang has not been sent out, Zhang Liao probably still thinks that our army has not seen through the first opportunity and does not know that he has led his army back to help. how could he
Did you know that I set up an ambush here?"
Cao Ang stared blankly at the boorish man in his eyes, feeling a little incredulous.
Could it be that after being by his father's side for so long, even a monkey could become a spirit?
However, that didn't seem right. Cao Ang and Zhang Wu studied together, and what they learned was exactly the same. Why was he still so confused when Zhang Wu was enlightened? Could it be that he was not as good as Zhang Wu?
A warrior's spiritual light?
"Cough, is there a need to go through so much trouble? I heard from Uncle Yuan Rang that you smashed open the city gate with a spear when you were in the dock, seized the city, killed the general, and drove the rebel army into the wilderness. Why not now
If he followed the example of the others and smashed open the city gates of Puyang and killed Lu Bu, wouldn't that solve the crisis of Yanzhou?”
Zhang Wu raised his iron spear and knocked the tip of the spear against Cao Ang's helmet.
"Unlucky child, what nonsense are you talking about! How could Puyang be the same as Lingwu? The dock belongs to Guo Si, and I don't want to occupy it. Puyang is ours
If you break the door, disturb the people in the city, and ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister, you will be responsible!”
"Moreover, although Guo Si has 200,000 troops, they are all in chaos and difficult to mobilize. Lu Bu had been through many battles and had a lot of prestige in the army. Even if the city was broken, if he didn't die and the scattered soldiers went to him, he could still behave atrociously in Yanzhou.”
"If I smash the door, even if my army enters the city, there will be no city gate to defend.”
Just as they were talking, Zang Ba returned to report,""General, we have discovered the rebel army. The leader is Zhang Liao, with about six thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry. The cavalry was in front, and the infantry followed closely behind.”
"Alright, I am indeed a genius. Zixiu, you and 5,000 people from Xuan Gaoling will set up an ambush on both sides of the hill. The rebel army can't look at each other from head to tail."
The two of them cupped their fists at the same time.
Zhang Wu ordered 2,000 cavalry to block the exit first. He could ignore the 6,000 infantry, but he would definitely take down the 2,000 cavalry led by Zhang Liao.
Yanzhou was mostly a plain, and the mobility of cavalry was too high. If they escaped, all the counties would suffer. Once the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, it would be a real disaster.
As the sky darkened, Zhang Liao led the army and rushed through the night. When they reached the vicinity of the hill, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
It was the season when all living things revived, but the two sides of the path were terrifyingly quiet. There was not even a bird to be seen.
"General, continue west for ten miles and you will reach Puyang.”
Zhang Liao held Ma Jiu down and asked his bodyguard beside him,"Did you receive a letter from Mister Gongtai?”
"No," replied the guard.
Zhang Liao calmed down. In his opinion, even if the battle in Puyang was unfavorable, if there were any new changes, with Lu Bu's bravery, it would not be a problem for him to send a letter.
Since there was no letter, it meant that everything should be done according to the original military plan.
"Order the troops to light the torches and continue advancing.”
"General, the sky is getting dark. Why don't we rest here for a night and continue the march tomorrow morning?”
Zhang Liao glared at his bodyguard beside him." Haven't you heard that speed is the most important thing in war? I'm going to order you to return to Puyang at full speed and inform the Lord that our army will arrive at midnight tonight. Please send troops at the same time to attack Cao Cao's camp. The day we defeat Cao Cao is today!"”
"Yes!"
