The leader was gone. Although the military formation was still there, it had no subordinates. It was equivalent to a person losing his soul. Gao Shun and Chen Gong quickly noticed this and broke through the formation in an instant. Chen Gong also successfully captured the formation.
One's own formation invades the opponent's formation.
After Lu Bu returned to the battle, he threw Ji Ling back, and someone came forward to tie Ji Ling, who was almost suffocated to death, with a special rope.
"Kill~"
The sound of killing outside Shouchun City was loud. Under the bite of the Xuzhou Army, a hundred thousand troops could no longer maintain their military formation. The rout began. More and more soldiers began to join the fleeing army. Lu Bu led his men and horses to fight for twenty miles.
, pursued them to Shouchun City, and then gave up and retreated their troops.
"Congratulations, my lord, for winning the battle. Our army defeated a large number with a small number in this battle, defeating Yuan Shu's army of 100,000 men. My lord's reputation will surely shock China!" After setting up camp again, the generals came to Lu Bu's tent and congratulated Lu Bu.
"It's all down to the soldiers' sacrifice! It's not my fault alone." Lu Bu said with rare humility: "Besides, Ji Ling is known as a general, but he can't mobilize this hundred thousand troops. It's a pity!"
Ji Lingkong has an army of 100,000, but it is barely usable and cannot be deployed at will. In fact, this is a problem for most generals. Some people lead a few thousand soldiers and horses to fight as if they are gods of war. However, leading an army of tens of thousands is a complete mess. This
There are very few generals in the world who can truly understand how to handle an army of 100,000, at least not Ji Ling.
It would be okay if both sides couldn't fight a big battle, but Lu Bu seems to be taking the route of elite soldiers. In fact, he has fought countless battles in his life, not to mention one hundred thousand, but Lu Bu has no pressure at all when playing with an army of 50,000. On weekdays,
Lu Bu, who seemed to be mentally ill, turned out to be like the god of war when he started playing tactics on the battlefield.
"Marquis Wen must not be humble. Ji Ling finally managed to get a hundred thousand troops into formation." Chen Gong said with a smile. If the one hundred thousand troops failed to form a formation, there would be no need for Xuzhou's army to gather. Lu Bu could kill him by himself.
That was like picking out an enemy general's head from a ten thousand army, just like picking out an object from a bag. Ji Ling was able to form a formation of a hundred thousand troops and was able to contend with Lu Bu for a while, which is enough to show that this person is not weak in ability.
To put it bluntly, among the generals under Lu Bu, there are not many who can achieve Ji Ling.
"Gongtai, this battle has been won, should Yuan Shu surrender?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gongxiao and asked.
Chen Gong nodded: "To prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of the situation, above the Huai River..."
"Teacher, don't worry. I have ordered the white dragon to dive into the sea. Once Cao Jun wants to cross the river, he will stop him immediately!" Chu Nan understood, nodded and smiled.
The Huai River is an advantage for Yuan Shu, and it is even more advantageous for them. The little white dragon almost overthrew the Jiangdong Navy. It would not be easy for a group of landlubbers like Cao Jun to cross the river in front of the little white dragon!
"In this case, we will officially send envoys to lobby Yuan Shu and persuade him to give up Shouchun. Even if he does not go to Xuzhou, he can go to other places as long as he is willing." Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Then..." Lu Bu looked at the generals sitting down and frowned. Can these reckless men explain themselves clearly?
Chu Nan also had the same concerns. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and said, "Father-in-law, Nan is willing to go with us."
"No!" Lu Bu waved his hand directly and said: "If Yuan Shu goes crazy and wants to kill the envoy, what will happen?"
In the past, there was no other way and there was no one around to help, but now, Lu Bu is already the real lord of Xuzhou, how can he let his son-in-law continue to take risks?
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will take General Han Sheng with me. Even if Yuan Shu wants to fall out, I think General Han Sheng can protect me. If that doesn't work, I can also send a signal to my father-in-law. If Yuan Shu really dares to act recklessly, there is a traitor inside."
Sheng, there is a father-in-law outside, Shouchun might be captured directly." Since Chu Nan took the initiative to speak out, he was naturally somewhat confident.
First of all, even if Yuan Shu is mentally retarded, his men are not. It is impossible for them to dare to kill the envoy at this time. Secondly, Chu Nan is planning to take Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang with him. Even if there is danger then, with Huang Zhong's ability, he can protect Yuan Shu among a group of rookies.
It’s okay to be considerate on your own.
Besides, there are demon mantises and demon ants around Chu Nan. Even if Yuan Shu still has some popularity in the city and can suppress his words and actions, it is not impossible for him to escape. If he really refuses to give up, he can directly cooperate with Lu Bri and break the
There are opportunities in the city.
Of course, even if you win in the end, you may get a dilapidated Shouchun City.
"That's fine." Lu Bu looked at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong nodded slightly, feeling relieved. The veteran his son-in-law had recruited was one of the few people besides Guan Zhang who could make Lu Bu feel a sense of crisis.
This person protects the son-in-law, and the son-in-law himself is not a weakling, so it will not be difficult to come back if the deal breaks down.
"I remember that Han Sheng's archery skills are extraordinary. If something unexpected happens, Han Sheng can strike with fire and arrows!" Lu Bu looked at Huang Zhong and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I will protect my lord to the death!" Huang Zhong saluted Lu Bu.
"Zi Yan, do you have any other needs?" Lu Bu was still a little worried. After all, Huang Zhong was old and no matter how strong he was, what if he couldn't raise his voice for a while?
"Nan wants to see Ji Ling and see if he can be persuaded to surrender." Chu Nan said to Lu Bu, "If he doesn't surrender, I can take him to Shouchun."
It would be best for Ji Ling to surrender, but if he doesn't surrender, it would be better to take Ji Ling with him, forcing Yuan Shu to open his mouth and let him go, and let Ji Ling come to his side.
"It's rare to catch him, why let him go again?" Lu Bu asked puzzledly.
"It would be best if Ji Ling surrendered directly, but it would be difficult to use. But if Ji Ling is really a loyal person, even if we force him to stay, we will only get a corpse in the end. But if Yuan Shu can be made to speak, we will
If Ji Ling comes, then Ji Ling can die for his father-in-law in the future!" Chu Nan said with a smile.
If others can use things like divorce tactics, he may not be able to use them. It just so happens that his opponent is Yuan Shu, so he can use him to test the waters.
"Bring Ji Ling up!" Lu Bu felt that what Chu Nan said was quite reasonable, and immediately ordered someone to bring Ji Ling up.
Soon, Ji Ling was escorted up.
"Kneel down!" the escorting soldier kicked Ji Ling in the leg and shouted.
Ji Ling snorted coldly, looked at Lu Bu and said: "Master of Heaven and Earth, who are you? Are you worthy of my kneeling down?"
"General Ji, you and I can be considered old friends." Lu Bu waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go down. He looked at Ji Ling and said, "Since we have been defeated today, why not surrender early?"
"Kill if you want to, why bother to say more?" Ji Ling snorted coldly.
"General Ji." Chen Gong looked at Ji Ling and said with a smile: "It is said that good birds choose trees to roost in, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. Not to mention that Yuan Shu arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor and the whole world was angry. Now Yuan Shu is at the end of his life.
Yu Shouchun is in danger of being destroyed soon. The general was captured today and has already shown his loyalty. Now why not take this opportunity to be loyal to Marquis Wen? Don't worry, we will never let you take the initiative to fight with him!"
Ji Ling straightened his body and said coldly: "If the master is prosperous, he will follow it; if the master is weak, he will abandon it. Is this what the teacher said?"
Chen Gong shook his head and sighed: "That's all."
"Then if we can let Yuan Shu survive, the prerequisite is that the general surrenders. Is the general willing?" Chu Nan looked at Ji Ling and asked.
"This..." Ji Ling hesitated for a moment and frowned: "If this is true, I will be willing to sacrifice my life for His Majesty's life, but is Marquis Wen really willing to let His Majesty go free just because of me?"
What is Yuan Shu's situation now? Ji Ling knows it very well. Once Lu Bu comes, it can be said that Yuan Shu is already a turtle in the urn and has no chance of survival.
"Of course I do." Lu Bu nodded affirmatively.
Ji Ling had doubts in his heart. After all, Lu Bu's words... weren't very reliable.
"Father-in-law!" Chu Nan saluted Lu Bu and said solemnly: "Nan is willing to go to Runan with General Ji to persuade Yuan Shu to give up Shouchun. At the same time, he also asks his father-in-law to let Yuan Shu live."
Wasn't this just decided?
Lu Bu's reaction was not slow. After being slightly stunned for a moment, Lu Bu looked at Ji Ling and said hesitantly: "If we go to Shouchun at this time, will Yuan Shu be detrimental to Zi Yan?"
"Don't worry, Marquis Wen. If this gentleman is really willing to accompany me back to the city, Ji Ling is willing to protect his safety!" Ji Ling said in a deep voice.
"Forget it, everyone be careful!" Lu Bu nodded, and immediately ordered someone to untie Ji Ling and let Ji Ling and Chu Nan go to Shouchun together.
…
"Bang!"
In Shouchun City, after Yuan Shu heard the defeat, he kicked over the table in front of him, and the fine wine and delicacies spilled all over the floor.
"One hundred thousand troops, defeated in one battle!?" Yuan Shu couldn't believe his ears, almost roaring: "Where is Ji Ling?"
"The general has been captured alive by Lu Bu in the rebel army." Chen Lan lowered his head and said.
"Trash! Trash!" Yuan Shu cursed "trash" twice in a row, but the anger in his chest could not be calmed down, and he shouted: "Kill his whole family, old and young!"
"Your Majesty!" Your Highness, Yan Xiang came out and frowned: "Although it is a pity that the general is defeated, if he is wiped out because of this, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the three armies. At this time, the enemy is facing us. If we lose the morale of the army again, it may be difficult to recover.
sky!"
"Huh!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly. Since he became emperor, the world should have been at peace and everyone should be united. However, the reality was far different from what he imagined. He had lost consecutive battles in Runan, and the nobles from all over the country did not treat him as well as before.
So loyal.
After the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, everyone returned. When he was still a prince, he was respected by the princes of the world and supported by the nobles. How come he has become the emperor now, but he has ended up like this!?
"Lü Bu is now approaching the city with troops. On the other side of the Huai River, there are Cao Cao's traitors who are eyeing him!" After venting his anger, Yuan Shu sat down again, looked at the ministers of the court, frowned and said: "How do you think we can repel the enemy at this time?
"
Retreat the enemy?
The ministers of the Zhong family looked at each other. On one side was Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the world, and on the other side was Cao Cao, who carried the remaining power of the Han Dynasty. A hundred thousand troops were defeated by Lu Bu in one battle. On Cao Cao's side, they could not get any benefits when they were in their heyday, and now they are successively
After defeat, morale was low, and it became even more difficult to defeat Cao Cao.
"Why aren't you talking anymore!?" Yuan Shu frowned and looked at the ministers.
What should I say? In this situation, defeat is already certain!
The ministers slandered in their hearts, but it was hard to say these words out loud. Maybe Yuan Shu went crazy and killed two of them to vent his anger. It is hard to see the trace of heroism in Yuan Shu in his youth now!
"Your Majesty, Chu Nan, the envoy of the Xuzhou Army, is leading the captured general to ask for an audience outside the city. Do you want to let him go?" A general came outside the palace and shouted to Yuan Shu.
"Chun Nan?" Yuan Shu frowned slightly when he heard this. The name seemed familiar.
Han Yin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Chu Nan is Lu Bu's son-in-law."
There were also rumors here that Lu Bu married a daughter, but it happened after Yuan Shu rejected the marriage. For this reason, Yuan Shu originally laughed at Lu Bu for choosing a merchant as his son-in-law.
"What's he doing here? Tell Ji Ling to come back. The rest are gone!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Hong, Situ of the Zhong clan, came out and saluted Yuan Shu: "Now our army is attacked from two sides. It would be a good thing if Lu Bu is willing to negotiate. It would be better to meet him first!"
At this time, someone took the initiative to send an envoy and actually pushed it out of the door? The emperor is not very good, but this emperor's airs are quite convenient!
Yuan Shu frowned when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's all, let him come in and pay homage!"
"Here!" The general did not dare to disobey, so he agreed and bowed to leave...
