Chapter 96: The harassment, the true sixteen-character formula!
Historically, after Lu Bu occupied Puyang, he received a large amount of luggage and property from Puyang City.
Coupled with the help of aristocratic families from most of Yanzhou, Lu Bujun's strength is actually stronger than Cao Cao.
Although Lu Bu did not capture Juancheng,
But later, even though Cao Cao returned to the army, he still had a stalemate with Lu Bu in Puyang for more than a hundred days.
Both sides fought until they finally ran out of ammunition and food, and then they had to stop and return.
It was not until his eldest brother Yuan Shao came to help that Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu and drove him out of Yanzhou.
But the situation is much better now,
"Puyang City has been occupied by Chen Liu's partial army, and the main force is also stationed outside the city to maintain a deterrent against Lu Bu's army.
Lu Bu's army, which has lost its logistical supplies, is destined to be unable to fight for a long time.
As long as we delay them for a few days, Lu Bu's army will be defeated without a fight!"
——The above comes from Guo Moumou’s analysis.
Lu Yan only took Chen Liu's troops and horses, and only Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci and Xia Houlan were stationed outside the city to intimidate Lu Bu.
As for Zhang Liao, he did not want to confront Lu Bu's army.
So after giving Gao Shun a grand burial, he asked to stay in Juancheng and temporarily served as Cao Ang's lieutenant to assist Cao Ang in guarding Juancheng.
The night is getting dark,
The Chinese army's tent in Cao's camp was brightly lit.
Lu Yan was sitting on the main seat, with military advisor Guo Jia sitting on his left, and Zhao Yun, the most powerful general in Cao's camp, sitting first on his right.
Lu Yan strongly agreed with Guo Jia's previous analysis.
It should be noted that wild beasts often burst out with terrible fighting power in desperate situations. Lu Yan did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices with the lives of his family.
"Lu Bu is just a trapped beast still fighting.
We don't need to fight him head-on and lose our troops.
As long as it is delayed until Duke Cao's army comes back for reinforcements and encircled on three sides, Lu Bu will definitely be defeated."
"That is, my life, Chen Liuerlang, is so precious, how can I waste it in vain on such a must-win situation!" Xia Houlan interjected with some pride.
Lu Yan looked at Xia Houlan,
At this time Guo Jia also made arrangements: "Zilong, Ziheng, starting tomorrow you will take turns leading your troops to harass Lu Bu, making sure that they cannot concentrate their forces to attack the city."
"Here!" Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan stood up and all agreed.
"Ziyi, you lead the Beiwei army to protect the Chinese army, and beware of any possible surprise attack from Lu Bu!" Guo Jia obviously also considered the possible surprise attack from Lu Bu.
Although the chance of such a surprise attack is low, I am afraid that the guy will break the pot and break the pot, causing both sides to suffer losses.
"Here! Ziyi swears to the death to defend the safety of Mr. and the military advisor!" Taishi Ci suddenly stood up and responded with clasped fists.
With everything arranged properly, the generals are ready to go back to make arrangements and rest.
Before Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan walked out of the tent, Lu Yan suddenly stopped them.
"Zilong, Ziyi, wait!"
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan turned around and asked, "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"I have a sixteen-word secret to dealing with harassment."
Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun looked at each other and said, "Sir, please speak!"
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!"
"When the enemy advances, we retreat... When the enemy retreats, we pursue..." Guo Jia heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was closely related to the art of war. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered: "Interesting, interesting! Longevity
You have been following me for so long, and you have finally made some progress in the art of war!"
The corner of Lu Yan's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: "This is the essence of the Red Army's guerrilla tactics, and it's none of your business!"
...
Have a good night's rest,
It was still dark the next day,
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan led two armies of more than a thousand men each and sneaked towards Lu Bu's army camp.
After a night of individual pondering and mutual verification, they had almost mastered the secret of the Sixteen-Character Guerrilla.
"kill!!!"
“Dong dong dong!!!”
Lu Bujun is still burying pots to make rice,
Suddenly, there were loud shouts of death and the sound of war drums outside the camp.
Lu Bu was shocked and quickly grabbed Fang Tian's painted halberd and walked out of the camp, shouting: "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, come with me to fight!!"
After waiting for a long time,
It wasn't until Lu Bu noticed that Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing and others around him were looking at each other in disbelief that he suddenly realized, "Gao Shun is dead, Zhang Liao surrendered..."
It was at this time that Lu Bu suddenly discovered that the two generals he disliked the most were actually the right-hand men he relied on the most!
"Alas...it's me, Lu Fengxian, I'm so ashamed of you..." Sighing in his heart, Lu Bu quickly cheered up, "Wei Xu, Song Xian, you two follow me to repel the enemy!"
"Here!"
"Here!"
Wei Xu and Song Xian were also generals under Lu Bu and were extremely brave.
But in the past, because of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's presence, their light was overshadowed a lot.
The war drums outside were beating loudly,
But when Lu Bu led his army to fight, the army led by Xiahou Lan ran faster than a rabbit.
Lu Bu took advantage of the excitement but returned in despair. Apart from seizing some sheepskin drums that Cao Jun had no time to take away, they didn't even touch a hair on Cao Jun's men...
What's even more disgusting is,
Lu Bu had just served his rice bowl after returning to camp.
The sound of war drums and shouts of death outside started again!
"Is it over yet?"
"You won't let anyone eat anymore!"
But the complaints were complaints, so Lu Bu still led his soldiers out of the camp and prepared to fight.
This time it was the soldiers led by Zhao Yun who were responsible for the harassment.
After seeing Lu Bu come out,
Zhao Yun actually asked Lu Bu loudly: "Marquis Wen, did you sleep well last night?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Lu Bu said angrily: "Zhao Yun, if you dare, fight me for three hundred rounds!"
However, Zhao Yun laughed and said: "Yun hasn't had breakfast yet, so I won't fight today!"
After saying that,
Zhao Yun led his men and ran away in a hurry.
Just load the coins and run away, it’s so exciting!
Although Lu Bu has the red rabbit horse, he can easily catch up with Zhao Yun.
But he was worried that there would be an ambush behind him, so after leading the army in pursuit for a while, he had to return disappointed again.
But next,
Lu Bu had a terrible breakfast...
"Lü Bu, how dare you fight with me, Xiahou Lan, for three hundred rounds!!!"
"Three surnamed family slaves, shameless old thieves!"
"Lu Bu, my eunuch gave you a good name: Dad Mie!"
"Destroy dad! Destroy dad! Destroy dad!"
...
How could Lu Bu bear this tone? He immediately threw down his job and shouted angrily: "Bastard Lu Yan, I will personally twist off your head and use it as a night pot!"
But Chen Gong's words made Lu Bu wilt, "Marquis Wen, don't you want to save the family members in Puyang City?"
Lu Bu's momentum was suffocated, and he sighed helplessly: "Are we just going to let them yell and curse around us?"
"What Marquis Wen said is true. If this continues, our army's morale will be gone before the siege begins..." Hou Cheng said.
Of course Chen Gong also knew about this problem. He said to Hou Cheng and others: "Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu, the three of you are leading an army to ambush around the camp. If they come again, charge and kill them!"
"Here!" Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu clasped their fists and accepted the order.
Chen Gong said to Hao Meng and Cao Xing again:
"You two lead five thousand soldiers and horses to take a detour to Cao's camp to investigate.
If the camp is empty, surprise troops will be sent out to capture and kill Lu Yan and Guo Jia.
If the defense is tight, then wait for the opportunity, and when those Cao troops who are harassing our army return to camp, you will quickly send out troops to kill them!"
"Here!!"
Hao Meng, Cao Xing clasped his fists and promised loudly,
To Cao Jun, who was buzzing like flies in his ears,
They have been holding in their anger for a long time!
