Chapter 509: Pioneer Lu Bu
The head coaches from all walks of life have become popular in the eyes of military generals. As long as they are selected, they will be able to fight on the battlefield. Otherwise, they will be left in their hometown.
Three days later, the vanguard army took the lead in expedition, with one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry heading towards Bingzhou. The vanguard Lu Bu was wearing armor and holding a square halberd in his hand. The cloak behind him was waving, and the horses under him were also famous horses on the grassland, with extremely majestic.
The deputy vanguard was Gao Shun. Since the incident in Chang'an, Gao Shun's position in the army has not been taken seriously. Although he still has 800 infantry, he is not popular. In addition, he is dull and competes with Li Shun. He only knows how to train soldiers and rarely move between military generals, so he is not famous in the army. This time, Lu Bu is a general, so he naturally wants to promote his former subordinates. Li Shun traps the camp and Gao Shun is the two elite troops in the Xiliang army. Jia Rong believes that Gao Shun can shine on the battlefield in Bingzhou and win fame.
Like Li Shun, Gao Shun is dull, but he is flexible and has many strategies. It is good to cooperate with the fierce general Lu Bu. As for not using Gao Shun, it is completely nonsense. All the equipment of the heavy infantry is completely inferior to the trap camp.
Before the three armies moved, food and grass were ahead. As early as the beginning of the army's destiny, countless carriages had already been driven to various places along the way for the army to use.
Let’s talk about the fact that after Lu Bu left Chang'an, he rushed straight to Bingzhou, and opened roads along the way and met water to fill bridges. He was full of momentum. The thousand cavalry under his command were Xianbei people on the grassland, skilled in bows and horses, and was no less than the Xiliang army. He also had a great reputation on the grassland.
In Fu County, Lu Bu's army was blocked. Who is Li Ru? Not to mention that the intelligence network is spread all over the world, the Xiliang army made a big move, so it is difficult to hide it from his spies. When Lu Bu's army had just begun, he ordered Niu Fu to lead two thousand men to guard Fu County and resist the aggressive Lu Bu's army.
The walls of Fu County have been disrepaired for a long time and the city is low. Lu Bu didn't care about it when he first saw it.
After the army arrived at Fuxian City, it did not station and led a thousand cavalry to Fuxian City to meet with Niu Fu.
Niu Fu, who was in Fu County, looked at the mighty Xiliang army outside the city, and felt a little bitter. The enemy he was most reluctant to face was these crazy people on the battlefield. Moreover, Lu Bu under the city was not only in the Xiliang army, but also in the whole world. Outside Hulao Pass, he fought with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, and he was so brave.
Faced with Lu Bu's appointment, all Niu Fu had to do was to seize the time to strengthen the city wall and hang high-level battle-free signs.
Seeing this, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Niu Fu, no timid child, can only be a turtle, dare to go out of the city to fight?"
Niu Fu stood quietly on the city wall, without saying anything, and was sent here by Li Ru. He seemed to have seen his destiny. Lu Bu was just the vanguard of the army, and Li Ru's appointment was to defend Fu County to the death. In other words, the city was in the city, and the city was destroyed, otherwise Niu Fu would not have any good results with Li Ru's means.
Thinking back to the beginning, he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. When Dong Zhuo was in the army, no one dared to provoke anyone's position in the army. But now, in the past many years, even though Li Ru rebelled against the Western Liang army in the name of Dong Zhuo, how many people could remember Dong Zhuo's past kindness in the army? To put it bluntly, he became an abandoned son. Thinking of his wife and children, Niu Fu was cruel and cruel. A real man fought on the battlefield was just a death. Maybe his sacrifice could bring about a happy life for his wife and children.
Seeing that Niu Fu did not dare to respond, Lu Bu sent someone to scold him for a while and began to set up camp in an orderly manner, quietly waiting for the arrival of the army.
Late at night, Gao Shun came to Lu Bu's tent.
Lu Bu, who had already rested, heard Gao Shun coming and hurriedly stood up. Years of hard work on the battlefield made Lu Bu understand a lot of things. Although it was still difficult to calm down when encountering problems, he knew that it would take the joint efforts of the soldiers to capture Fu County. He still didn't care about the casualties of the lower-level soldiers, but he didn't dare to talk about them.
"General Gao arrived here late at night, and I don't know what happened?" Lu Bu sat upright, with a bit of the style of a commanding general.
Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "General Lu!"
"I wonder General Lu led the army to station here, do you have any plans?" Gao Shun asked when he saw Lu Bu silent.
"What I do is to serve as the vanguard of the army, so what I do is to open the way for the army. When General Huang leads the army to come, Fuxian can attack and descend." Lu Bu said slowly.
Gao Shun shook his head slightly: "General, in this way, all the contributions will be made by General Huang, not General. The walls of Fuxian are low, and our army will try it out. Moreover, there are many people from the Xiliang army in the city. As long as the secret contact is right, open the city gate late at night and the army rushed in, Fuxian will be settled. Compared with waiting for the arrival of the army and the capture of Fuxian, the general will think about it."
"The general is not subject to the orders of the king outside. I believe the general understands this. If Niu Fu is allowed to open up his arms and mobilize heavy troops to station in Fu County, even if he attacks, he will lose his troops."
Lu Bu's expression was slightly moved, and Gao Shun's words were not without reason. As long as he captured Fuxian, the credit would belong to the vanguard army and had little to do with the first army. Otherwise, what others would remember would only be Huang Zhong, not Lu Bu.
"What are the great ideas of General Gao?" Lu Bu turned his earnest eyes to Gao Shun.
Seeing that Lu Bu was still as frivolous as he was back then, Gao Shun couldn't help but smile, "General, I am willing to enter the city to see Niu Fu, all of which are the advantages and disadvantages, so that he can open the city and surrender."
Lu Bu said in surprise: "No, General Gao is the chief general of the infantry battalion. If there is any mistake, how can I convey it to the lord?"
Gao Shun smiled and said, "The general is worried too much. The two armies are fighting and will not kill the envoys. Besides, Niu Fu has a lot of connections with the Xiliang army, so how could he do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing?"
"After General Gao enters the city, be careful and safe." Lu Bu's tone was full of worry.
"Well, without further ado, I will sneak into the city tonight and contact Niu Fu." Gao Shun finished speaking, and left with his fists.
In order to be able to re-incorporate Bingzhou under the Xiliang Army, Gao Shun spared no life.
"General Niu, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be a general's friend coming."
"Oh, is there such a thing? Let him come in." Lu Bu's army was stationed outside the city. Niu Fu was sleepless and circled around the paper, thinking about how to better defend the city and block the pace of the Xiliang Army. However, all the strategies were rejected, and in the face of absolute strength, small means were useless.
Gao Shun looked back at the soldiers outside Niu Fu's room, flashed into the room, and then closed the door.
When Niu Fu heard the movement, he put down the pen in his hand, looked up, and was surprised to stuff an egg into his mouth. "Shunzi, why are you here?"
Gao Shun moved forward, put his finger on his mouth, looked around, and then said, "General Niu, the young general came this time, for the more than 10,000 people in Fuxian."
When Niu Fu heard this, his expression changed drastically and he placed his hand on the sword around his waist. The two of them were in the Xiliang Army and had a good relationship with each other, but now for the sake of their respective lords, they have to draw their swords to meet each other.
"Haha, I didn't expect General Niu to be afraid of Gao Shun, an unarmed person? Can't you listen to me?" Gao Shun said with a smile.
Niu Fu heard this and shouted in a low voice: "Go back and pretend that this has not happened. On the battlefield, I will never show mercy. It is useless to say more words to persuade surrender."
"General Niu, are you really willing to work hard for Li Ru, wisely and martial, how can Li Ru be compared with the general? Bingzhou was so stable at the time under the command of the general. Now thieves are everywhere, robbers are everywhere, and the people are living in poverty. The general just put tens of thousands of people in war for his own selfishness? Life is devastated?"
Niu Fu sighed and said, "Shun, needless to say, I understand all these, but"
"General Niu must be worried about his family. If General Niu is determined to surrender to the Xiliang Army, Shun will do his best to bring your family from Bingzhou to Chang'an." Gao Shun said with a burning look at Niu Fu.
"If this is true, let me think about it." Niu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care what Gao Shun said, but his family was what he valued the most. As long as his family was safe, no matter how much the people in the world viewed themselves, what's wrong?
Gao Shun looked very happy when he heard this. Niu Fu had a good relationship with him. Gao Shun was quite satisfied with this effect after a kind-hearted advice. Niu Fu's considerations became a compromise when he arrived at Gao Shun.
"General Niu is really a person who knows it. I will definitely give you more good words in front of the general."
"There is no need for good words. I just hope that after the war, I can live safely in Chang'an with my wife, children and family. General Gao will be responsible for the family affairs!" Niu Fu sighed. He was mediocre in leading the troops to fight. Even if he used to guard the city, he was a little tired of it. Years of life on the battlefield made him a little tired. This is why Gao Shun just asked to take his family to Chang'an and let it go.
"There are many soldiers of the original Xiliang Army in the city. Even if I want to stop it, it will be difficult to achieve results." Niu Fu said.
Gao Shun patted Niu Fu's shoulder kindly and said, "General Niu is so serious. It's just a matter of going to the county. There are still many places that require the general's cooperation. The general's family will arrive in Chang'an soon. Don't worry, Gao Shun will guarantee the title of the neck."
"But there is an order, I will not refuse!" Niu Fu said generously, without any guilt that he should have betrayed Li Ru. Betrayed the Xiliang Army that day, and Li Ru threatened him. He had no feelings for Li Ru.
"General, do this," Gao Shunfu said something and Niu Fu.
After hearing this, Niu Fu's eyes flashed with a flash of light and he said with a high-five: "It's really a brilliant plan!"
The next day, Niu Fu summoned the generals of the defending army together and said that there were important matters to discuss. More than a hundred soldiers holding swords and guns stood outside the camp of the Central Army.
Seeing that the central army camp was heavily guarded, the generals didn't think it was anything, and they thought it was Niu Fu who was afraid of the assassination of the Xiliang Army.
