Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Knowing Tactics, Lu Bu Does Not Pursue
Chapter 524: Lu Bu knows the strategy and doesn’t pursue it
Wuguan, in the temporary meeting hall, Fazheng, Guan Yu and others are discussing the military situation. To be honest, if Guan Yu and others had not been defeated a few times first, and Fazheng had Liu Zhang's military order, he would not have been able to suppress these arrogant soldiers.
Strong general. However, even so, Fazheng was quite offended. He said that Guan Yu's cold face made him very unhappy!
"Report!" Just when the atmosphere in the hall was getting a bit solemn, a small colonel rushed in, half-kneeling on the ground and said: "Commander, generals, Cao's army has retreated!"
"What?" Fazheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "You read that right, right?"
"Of course not!" said the junior colonel: "Now the entire Cao Army camp is packing their bags. What else can they do except retreat?"
"Retreat?" Fazheng raised his head and said, "Is there a conspiracy behind it?"
"I don't care if he has any plans or not, beat him up!" Zhang Fei was impatient and dared to talk nonsense in front of Liu Zhang, let alone Fa Zheng.
"General Zhang, please be patient and let me think about it carefully!" Fazheng frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, making everyone feel dizzy.
"I asked Fazheng, have you thought about it?" Half an hour passed and Fazheng still hadn't made a decision, so Zhang Fei became anxious. He didn't want to lose a good opportunity. Cao Cao failed to break through Wuguan and was very unhappy. Zhang Fei
Not defeating Lu Bu, he was equally unhappy. Cao Cao wanted to cause trouble for Liu Zhang, so why didn't Zhang Fei not want to cause trouble for Cao Cao? Seeing Fazheng's hesitation, Zhang Fei became a little bit uncontrollable.
"General Zhang, Cao Cao is not a man for idleness. Don't you know how powerful he is? The order given by our lord is to defend Wuguan. If Cao Cao makes a trick and we lose Wuguan, how should we report it to our lord?" Fa Zheng
He immediately carried Liu Zhang out because he knew that only Liu Zhang's order could suppress Zhang Fei.
"You will use your elder brother to suppress me!" Zhang Fei suddenly sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Commander, although the lord asked us to guard the pass, now that we have a chance to defeat Cao Cao, we can't just sit back and watch!" Seeing Zhang Fei deflated, Guan Yu squinted his eyes and stroked his beard and said: "Commander, please think again!"
"Uh..." Guan Yu's power has always made people uncomfortable. Although it was just a faint sentence, it gave Fazheng an irresistible feeling. Fazheng shook his head vigorously to shake this feeling out of his heart. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Said: "General Guan, why don't I want to defeat Cao Cao, but my lord is doing a big thing, and we can't interfere with it. Before I came, my lord once said that I would rather not move forward than take half a step back!"
"Since it is your lord's order, we should obey it." Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Military advisor, in fact, Cao Cao's retreat is nothing more than a real retreat or a feint. If he really retreats, someone will cut off the rear and ambush, or if he pretends to retreat.
If we retreat, we want to seize the opportunity to attack the pass. How about we wait for Cao's army to retreat, and let Yide lead his troops to pursue him, while Yun Chang follows closely behind, and I will provide support while the military advisor guards the pass. How about that?"
"This..." Fazheng thought for a while and said, "This plan is not appropriate. Cao Cao retreats and decides to use Lu Bu to cut off the rear. It is too dangerous for General Zhang to go!"
"You dare to underestimate me?" Zhang Fei looked down on Lu Bu the most. When he saw that Fazheng actually refused to let him pursue him because of Lu Bu, he immediately became furious.
"Can you beat Lu Bu?" Fa Zheng refused to give in to the correct opinion, not to mention that he knew that no matter how fierce Zhang Fei shouted, he would not dare to lay a finger on him, otherwise Liu Zhang would never spare Zhang Fei.
fly.
"Uh..." Seeing Fazheng's stubbornness, Zhang Fei was immediately discouraged. He was just trying to scare Fazheng. Who doesn't know that young counselors like Fazheng are Liu Zhang's pet peeves. It's okay to argue a few words, but if he is really hurt, These people, Liu Zhang's anger can ignite the whole of Chang'an! Zhang Fei muttered: "I have not been defeated by Lu Bu. How often have I not tied with him?"
"What's the use of a tie?" Fazheng shook his head and said, "Only by defeating Lu Bu can I have the confidence to win!"
"Just let General Huang go!" Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Although Lu Bu is fierce, he is no match for Brother Huang!"
"Yide, I'm the youngest?" Huang Zhong said with some displeasure: "If you want to fight, don't involve me. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I really don't have the confidence to defeat Lu Bu! I think back then, I was at my peak, so I fought with Lu Bu. The battle is a draw. Now, I am already in my fifties, but Lu Bu is still in his prime. How can I defeat Lu Bu under the circumstances? I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of missing the important event of my lord!"
"This..." Zhang Fei felt a little ashamed. He had always been impulsive and always strived to be first in every battle, but he had never thought about Liu Zhang's great cause. He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your teaching, brother, I know I was wrong!"
"You can teach me!" Huang Zhong nodded and said to Fazheng: "Military advisor, although Yide is reckless, his words are not entirely wrong. Now is a good time to pursue. If you miss this opportunity, Isn’t it a pity?”
"I also know it's a good opportunity!" Fazheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to have Yide lead the cavalry in pursuit. When encountering an ambush, they will pretend to have fallen into a trap and retreat. After reuniting with General Guan, he will lead his troops back and conduct a second pursuit. And General Huang is behind to help prevent Cao Cao from defeating even the second sneak attack!"
"Okay!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this. He was really afraid that Fazheng would not be allowed to go to war. To be honest, Fazheng now holds Liu Zhang's military orders, and he really didn't dare to disobey him!
"General Zhang, be careful in everything you do. If something goes wrong, return to the army immediately. If anything happens to you, I will die and my lord will not let me go!"
"Don't worry!" Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "How can I disappoint your lord!"
"This is the best!" Fazheng stood up and said: "In that case, generals, please prepare your troops for war. I will wait here for good news."
"General, I obey!" The three generals stood up and obeyed the order, and each returned to their headquarters to prepare to pursue Cao's army.
Outside Wuguan, Cao Cao commanded the army and drove slowly towards Shouchun, leaving Lu Bu and Yan Liang behind. Wen Chou stopped, but after the army walked for a long time, he didn't hear the cry of killing behind him. He couldn't help but be a little anxious. The man on horseback waiting beside him Cheng Yu had long noticed that he was restless and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "My lord, we are retreating. It would be best if Liu Zhang's army did not pursue us. Why are you so restless?"
"Zhongde, after three months of fighting, our army spent countless money and food, but ended up training troops for others. If we can't let Liu Zhang suffer some losses, wouldn't it mean that he is very incompetent?" Cao Cao has always regarded Liu Zhang as his formidable enemy. The last thing he wanted was to show weakness in front of Liu Zhang. It was like two children fighting, knowing that they couldn't beat each other, but insisting on stepping on each other to show their strength!
"Aren't you afraid that our army will suffer the consequences?" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "You know, the military advisor Liu Zhang sent is Fazheng, who is very resourceful. He may not be able to see through your plan!"
"So what if you find out? If he doesn't come after him, the truth is just a setup. If they come after me, I will make a profit!" Cao Cao sneered: "The truth knows that Liu Zhang is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, there is no way he can do anything. Don’t let our army take advantage of you!”
"Uh..." Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was speechless about Cao Cao's child's character. He originally wanted to say something, but Cao Cao stopped him.
"Shh..." Cao Cao suddenly put his finger to his mouth to silence Cheng Yu. He listened to the sound in the distance with his ears raised. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Zhongde, did you hear the sound of horse hooves?"
"No..." Cheng Yu shook his head. He didn't have Cao Cao's hearing. You know, they had walked more than twenty miles. If they could still hear the sound of fighting, how far would the two armies have to fight? However, Cao Cao didn't listen.
Wrong, the faint sound of horse hooves he heard was indeed Zhang Fei's cavalry.
"Zhang Yide, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" According to Cao Cao's order, Lu Bu ambushed in the dense forest ten miles outside Wuguan, but he did not let the soldiers hide, but blocked them on the road. Of course, this was Sima Yi's order!
"A slave with the third surname? No, it should be a slave with the fourth surname now! Just ask, do you recognize Cao Cao as your godfather?" Zhang Fei's mouth is really poisonous, and one sentence can make Lu Bu smoke.
"You are looking for death!" Lu Bu was already furious when he heard Zhang Fei calling him, but Zhang Fei dared to ask him if he recognized his godfather again. His lungs almost exploded with anger!
"It seems that Cao Cao doesn't dare to accept you as his godson, after all, he doesn't want to die!" Will Zhang Fei spare Lu Bu? The answer is no! He said another sentence, which made Lu Bu furious.
"Come and accept your fate!" Lu Bu really didn't want Zhang Fei to say any more, so he grabbed his horse and rushed over.
"Brothers, retreat!" Zhang Fei was ordered to retreat when he saw Lu Bu. He did not dare to disobey orders on the battlefield!
"Chase!" Lu Bu was already stunned with anger. How could he remember Cao Cao's order? Seeing Zhang Fei trying to run away, he immediately led his army to chase him.
"Good chase!" Seeing Lu Bu actually chasing after him, Zhang Fei was overjoyed. In his opinion, Lu Bu could be captured with Guan Yu's strength, and Guan Yu was not far away.
"Don't leave, the ring-eyed thief!" Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd and galloped all the way. He didn't care about the pawns at all. He wanted to take down Zhang Fei who insulted him. However, he not only ignored Liu Zhangjun's pawns, but also didn't care about his own soldiers.
. Galloping all the way, when he thought of his soldiers, there were not many people behind him except his personal guards!
"Slave with the fourth surname, why didn't you pursue me?" Lu Bu was not stupid either. When he saw that his soldiers did not follow, he immediately understood Zhang Fei's intention and wanted to retreat. Zhang Fei saw what he was thinking, so he reined in his horse and provoked,
To try to anger him.
"Ring-eyed thief, do you still think I am the Lu Bu from ten years ago?" Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Fei with disdain. Although his temper was still very irritable, he was no longer the same person who would not know when someone teased him casually.
Whose surname is Lu Bu? Now he can control his temper. Since he sees that Zhang Fei is up to something, he will not continue to pursue him!
"It is true that Lu Bu is not the same as he was back then. Today's Lu Bu is just a loser!" No matter how much he admired Lu Bu in his heart, Zhang Fei would not show the slightest admiration because he looked down on Lu Bu's character!
"Zhang Yide, goodbye!" Ignoring Zhang Fei's provocation, Lu Bu turned his horse and retreated towards Shouchun!
