Chapter 1878: Lu Bu's Battle Against Four Fierce Eight Great Hammers (Part 1)
Chapter 1878: Lu Bu fights the Four Fierce Eight Hammers (Part 1)
"The Grand Governor and General Su Lie have already opened the road to Yanjing and are about to attack the city of Yanjing. We have just captured the two counties of Zhuojun, right? It's time to capture other counties as well?" Luo Cheng asked.
After hearing Luo Cheng's words, Bai Qi and Zhang Liang looked at each other, and Bai Qi said: "There is no need to rush, there is no need to be greedy for success, just be steady and steady."
Luo Cheng was not an impetuous person, but after hearing these words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Grand Governor, if we don't march forward, by the time Yanjing is captured by General Su Lie, it will be too late for us to go."
"No problem, the First Route Army only needs to hold back Wei Qing's troops to prevent them from returning to aid Yanjing, and coordinate with General Su to capture Yanjing. It is also a great achievement." Zhang Liang said with a smile.
Luo Cheng wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he said them again.
Can this be the same? Coordinating Su Dingfang to capture Yanjing was only a small achievement after all.
Others eat meat, but you drink soup? This is not the style of a great governor.
Luo Cheng was also extremely puzzled by this. It could be seen that Bai Qi and Zhang Liang had no intention of marching, and Luo Cheng was also very helpless.
The victory of destroying the Han Dynasty is right in front of us, so why doesn't the Grand Governor have any intention of fighting for it?
What Luo Cheng didn't know was that Bai Qi really didn't want this skill.
At present, among the Qin army, apart from Bai Qi, there is probably no one who does not want this ability to destroy the Han Dynasty.
The reason why Bai Qi doesn't want it is that his contribution is already great enough. If he continues to monopolize the credit, he will offend others and his achievements will be greater than his own.
Bai Qi's situation seems to be brilliant, but in fact it is a tightrope walk. If it were not for the fact that the lord is Qin Hao and his wife A Qing, if it were other princes, he would have been poisoned for his superior achievements.
killed.
Although Qin Hao has a high tolerance for Bai Qi, Bai Qi cannot constantly touch the bottom line, and he himself must try to exercise restraint.
Therefore, this time the five armies attacked Youzhou, and the other four armies continued to spread news of victory, but there was no movement at all on Bai Qi's arm.
Is this because Wei Qing's ability to command troops is so strong that he can't win against Bai Qi? Of course not.
Bai Qi's First Route Army had 60,000 troops, while Wei Qing only had 50,000 troops.
Bai Qi never lost a battle every time when his army was weak against his opponent. Now he had more troops than Wei Qing, so how could he fail to win?
In addition, Bai Qi's main attack direction was Zhuojun, and Zhuojun was the closest county to Yanjing.
Logically speaking, sending troops from Zhuojun is the fastest route to Yanjing, but Bai Qi just confronted Wei Qing and dragged Wei Qing's 50,000 army into Zhuojun.
All of this was naturally done intentionally by Bai Qi. He really couldn't continue to make meritorious deeds, especially since this was the first step in destroying the Han Dynasty. For him, this was not merit, but a reminder of his life.
"General Su Lie has opened up the road to Yanjing. Now General Huo Bing and General Xue Li are in a hurry, right?" Zhang Liang said with a chuckle.
"That's just right. It can speed up the attack on Youzhou. Once Daijun and the valley are captured, Wei Qing will be vulnerable to a single blow when surrounded by our three armies."
Bai Qi said calmly, it was just his casual words, but for Wei Qing's 50,000 Han troops, it was already a devastating disaster.
It is conceivable that if Bai Qi really wanted to eliminate Wei Qing's troops, he must have other methods, but he deliberately did not do it.
As Zhang Liang expected, when they learned that Su Dingfang was about to attack Yanjing, both Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui felt extremely anxious, especially Huo Qubing.
In the Battle of Hebei, Huo Qubing was one of the four commanders, but he didn't get the credit he wanted to match. He was just waiting to make a comeback in the battle to destroy the Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect to be one step behind Su Dingfang.
Huo Qubing had just completed the layout and was just preparing for the decisive battle. Su Dingfang had already captured Yuyang and was about to reach Yanjing City. How could Huo Qubing not be in a hurry?
"If my prediction is correct, General Su Lie should not have completely captured Yuyang yet. There are still remnant puppet Han troops in Yuyang, but they can no longer affect the overall situation. Therefore, in order to rush for time, General Su Lie is planning to capture Yanjing first.
Deal with the remnants of the Han army in Yuyang County at Huitou."
Wei Yang said unhurriedly, and the facts were exactly as he said. Su Dingfang was indeed in a hurry, so he took the lead in attacking Yanjing.
"This Su Dingfang looks too ugly when he eats it." Huo Qubing couldn't help complaining.
If Su Dingfang pacified Yuyang and then marched towards Yanjing, Huo Qubing might still be able to compete for the top spot in destroying the Han Dynasty.
But Su Dingfang has already entered Yanjing, and Huo Qubing still has Xue Gang to deal with, and there is still a Daijun between him and Yanjing, so he is definitely no longer qualified to compete.
"Forget it, Yan Jing will let Su Dingfang fight. After I defeated Daijun Xue Gang, he and the governor attacked Wei Qing, which is also a great achievement."
Huo Qubing sighed, it wasn't that he didn't want to fight, it was just that Su Dingfang started too quickly and he didn't have time at all.
"Mr. Wei Yang, Su Lie is about to attack Yanjing. We are still sitting here in Dai County. This is too cowardly. No, the decisive battle plan must be advanced." Huo Qubing said with a serious face.
Wei Yang thought for a while and then said: "General Huo, the layout has been completed. Even if the plan is advanced, it will not have any impact on our army."
"That's good."
Huo Qubing breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Fei Ge immediately sent a letter to General Lu Bu, telling him that the plan has been advanced."
"promise."
A white dove flew into the Qin army's camp and brought news of the war to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's 20,000 wolf cavalry drove straight into the hinterland of Daijun, making it impossible for Xue Gang's troops to gather together.
Of course, such a bold opportunity also comes with risks, that is, although Lu Bu's troops are facing the risk of being surrounded by Xue Gang, Xue Gang is only unable to act due to the constraints of Huo Qubing in front.
Now Huo Qubing wants to take the initiative to create an opportunity for Xue Gang to annihilate Lu Bu, so as to lure Xue Gang into being fooled, and then the center will bloom, the inside and outside will be combined, and Xue Gang will be swallowed up in one fell swoop.
"Great, we can finally start the battle. General, please tell us how we will fight this battle," Cao Xing said.
Lu Bu glanced at the four generals Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian below him, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't Xue Kui always want to challenge me? The previous general's order has not been issued, so I have been holding back.
On the contrary, it only fueled the child's arrogance.
Now that the general's order has been issued, I will help Xue Kui's son to see how powerful I, Lu Fengxian, am."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Lu Buhu's eyes, and he said coldly: "Send the order, the whole army will go out to fight, and follow my general to fight against Xue Kui'er."
