"Lord, more than two days have passed. If Dingbeiguan is captured, it will be a futile effort." As a counselor, Liu Ji considered every possibility.
Changshiro thought about this sentence for a while, and suddenly spoke in an unreasonable manner.
"Zhongde, do you know which state the most bloody people in the world are from?"
"Wangzhou? Or Shuzhou?"
"No, they are from Dingzhou. They are poor and they are really fighting. It has nothing to do with the royal family or the overall situation of the Central Plains. As long as the wild dog dares to move, the army and the people will work together and fight with open arms."
"And Lu Xiu is the military soul of Dingzhou's soldiers and civilians. It's not that easy for Taishu Laogou to break through. At first, he just wanted to rely on the huge army to behead Lu Xiu, and then capture Dingbei with a surprise attack.
close."
"But now, it seems he hasn't done it."
"Hey, after I kill the old dog, I will write to my little boss and offer him eight thousand carts of food and grass in exchange for a Dingzhou Tiger to see if he is willing."
"So, I hope this Tiger of Dingzhou can live well."
…
"Kill, continue to kill!" Gai Gong, who was riding a horse in the Wild Wolf Valley, looked extremely angry for a moment. According to the plan, he was going to follow the Hebei Army and attack Dingbeiguan first.
But now, the Tiger of Dingzhou kept provoking him. Once, he even dared to lead the remnant army of more than a thousand people in his army and rush past countless Hu tribes.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Taishu has sent you another letter. Please don't let your Majesty fall into the trap. This matter is important."
Gai Gong picked up the letter impatiently, and after looking at it for a few times, his face was full of hesitation.
"Your Majesty, Lu Xiu's side has lost more than 300 people in battle! Now, he has less than 500 people left, so he must be exhausted."
"Can we cut off Lu Xiu's head within two hours?"
The chief who came running hesitated and did not dare to answer.
"waste."
In the wilderness outside Dingzhou, the grievances between the foreigners and the Dingzhou army could not be settled for several lifetimes. The most vicious incident was that the Marquis named Li once brought 30,000 horses out of the city and killed several people directly.
The big tribe and his brothers also died in the rebellion.
At that time, the person who dared to be the pioneer was Lu Xiu, the Tiger of Dingzhou.
"Mr. Taishu, how is the battle going?"
"The battle did not go smoothly. It took too long. The reinforcements from Liangdi have arrived. The leader is Chao Yi, the first cavalry general in Western Shu."
"Damn it. This great situation was disturbed by Lu Xiu!"
"Then the king is now..."
There was a trace of madness on Gai Gong's face, "Despite everything, kill the tiger of Dingzhou! If the big thing fails, we will retreat to the depths of the wilderness!"
"Lu Xiu will definitely die!"
…
"Shuzi doesn't agree with you." Taishu looked at Shenchen and closed his eyes. From the beginning, the Hu people fell into the stone forest's hidden horse strategy, and he had a premonition that this war would gradually become unfavorable.
Sure enough, that damn Dingzhou Tiger had fully exploited the Hu people's weaknesses. So much so that the Hu people's army is still encircling and suppressing them in the Wild Wolf Valley.
"Military advisor, it's already the third day. There seems to be something wrong with your plan." Gongsun Qi, who was standing by, said something desperate.
"Shut up." Uncle Wang turned around and shouted.
The morale of Dingbeiguan in front of us is like a rainbow. With the arrival of reinforcements from Liangdi, it becomes even more difficult to conquer.
"Uncle Wang, if I had known this, you should have listened to me. You wanted to kill some Dingzhou tiger, so you directly attacked the city with a large army. Within three days, you couldn't even think of a way to capture it! Don't forget, I am the lord and the only one who is the master.
He is the leader of the Hebei Army!"
The uncle smiled in anger, hesitated for a moment, and was too lazy to respond. He was afraid that he would lose his price when he was arguing with a kid about strategies.
But the fact is that a famous general who has never been born in Dingzhou ruined his strategy.
When he first entered the wilderness, he vaguely remembered that King Hu Gaigong told him that Lu Xiu, the Tiger of Dingzhou, was at least one of the top five famous generals.
He believes it now. But...it's a little late after all.
The battle to tackle the key problem did not go smoothly at all. Chao Yi, the general of Xishu who arrived, was also as fierce as a leopard.
On one of these occasions, the siege phalanx could not withstand the defensive situation and was defeated. This guy should have led 20,000 cavalry out of the city to pursue and suppress, stabbed the rear army in the butt, and immediately led the troops back to the city. He is well versed in cavalry.
The essence of mobility.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
Uncle Tai looked calm and closed his eyes, "Don't worry, I'll think of something."
…
"If there is nothing wrong, the Yuzhou Army in Hebei has begun to deploy troops on the border to come for reinforcements at any time."
"If everything is correct, the reinforcements from Liangzhou should have arrived, and Dingbeiguan will be safe and sound."
"If I am correct, this time, these heroes from the Central Plains and I have the best chance to wipe out the Hu bandits. At least, drive these Hu bandits who have been causing trouble for more than a hundred years to the end of the wilderness."
In a stone forest, Lu Xiu raised his head and looked at the bloodied Dingzhou soldiers around him. With only three thousand men, he used various means to drag the enemy's vast army into trouble. Where to put it?
To put it bluntly, they are all heroic men.
"I said before that outside Dingzhou, there is a desert to the west, and to the east, there is now the army of the King of Yuzhou. He wanted to go south to attack the pass, but unfortunately, we, the Western Shu Iron Army, blocked the pass.
.”
"Where else could they go?"
Putting the knife on the ground, Lu Xiu wiped the blood on his face. During the fight, he was accidentally hit by a flying arrow in the face, so that half of his face was wrapped in a cloth robe.
middle.
Most of the war horses have run to death. Those who are still alive have been released from their reins. For example, after the battle until now, it is extremely difficult to even hold the sword.
Of the more than two hundred faces left, not a single one showed the slightest hint of timidity. Most of them had a kind of yearning on their faces.
Hiding in the stone forest is already doomed. It is nothing more than using up your last strength to kill a few more enemy thieves.
All around the stone forest, the roars of the barbarians could be heard.
No need to guess, Lu Xiu knew that this time, the barbarians had surrounded the entire stone forest.
Lu Xiu looked up at the sky and laughed.
…
More than ten years ago, there was a prisoner's son who, after witnessing his father being beheaded, was sent to Dingzhou by the government to join the army with his newly tied bun.
He was very young. In the first year, he was just the leader. In the second and third years, he was still the leader.
It was not until the fourth year that he was ambushed by the Hu people and the entire vanguard camp was wiped out. He was the only one who was not afraid in the face of danger and took more than 20 gang leaders to escape under the cover of night and discovered the location and route of the Hu people's ambush.
Told the commander.
In the fifth year, he was appointed chief.
In the seventh year, because of his performance in killing the enemy, he was promoted to the rank of captain, and in the same year he was promoted to captain.
In the eighth year, as the vanguard of Dingbei commander Li Rucheng, he broke into several large Hu tribes and killed King Hu's legitimate son with a spear. He was promoted to general.
In the tenth year, a battalion of only 3,000 men and horses used a false strategy and killed more than 10,000 Hu troops, abandoning their helmets and armor.
In the first ten years, he was worshiped as a titled general and given the title "Po Hu".
…
In the fifteenth year, the court was in turmoil, and he was elected as the chief general by the army and people of Dingzhou. It had nothing to do with the court or the trend of separatism. He stayed at Dingbeiguan and never retreated even half a step.
The Dingbei Army, numbering more than 10,000 people, had no weapons or armor, but only the righteousness of family and country. During the two or three years of the most turbulent period in the Central Plains, they stabilized the pass of Dingzhou in the northwest.
…
His name is Lu Xiu, known as the Tiger of Dingzhou, and the military spirit of countless Dingzhou people.
