Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 88
Chapter 88 Suffocating Xu Rong
Liu Bei realized that he was unable to see through Zhang Chao. This person was real and fake, which made him unable to figure it out.
No one to care about liu bei has any reaction, lombardi after see people come, this note: “please all generals move over.”
Lombardi brought everyone to a wall with a sketch, and then he pointed to the map and said, “According to the scouts, Dong thief decided to take action against us first, so he sent five troops to defeat us in one go, to ensure a few years of peace. Tell us what to do.”
“What should we do? What else can we do? Naturally, the soldiers will block it, and the water and earth will cover it.” The first is sun chien, he is a brave general, needless to any strong enemy, can say this is normal.
“That’s right. Even if they want to split up into five groups, we’ll split up to meet them. I think we’ll just have to lead our troops to battle.” Cao Cao also joined them.
This time, cao cao led the army ten thousand, with this number against seven thousand enemies, there was naturally no pressure. Sun chien led five thousand troops, although the number of difference, but he brave, the problem is not very big.
On the other hand, liu bei and zhang chao will suffer some losses. After all, their army was too small.
Originally, liu bei is to suggest that everyone join forces, and then look for opportunities to make the enemy annihilated in the future. Sun chien and cao cao is indeed the first state, this makes some words can’t say, if he is in a place not denier pass, but also seems to be afraid of himself, not to be underestimated.
Liu Bei know to divide the troops, to their disadvantage. However, this was not against him, so he did not immediately interrupt. Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhang Chao, wanting to see how he replied.
Actually, it wasn’t just Liu Bei. Right now, their gazes were all on Zhang Chao. They all wanted to see how this young master decided.
Zhang Chao did not notice the crowd’s gaze. He only moved his head closer to the map and slowly looked at it. This was half an incense stick of time. The patience of the few of them was worn out.
Seeing that Zhang Chao hadn’t stopped expressing his stance, Yuan Shao finally couldn’t help but ask, “General Zhang, what do you think of this matter?”
“Huh?” Zhang Chao seemed to wake up after hearing Lombardi’s call, “What do I think? Didn’t all the generals express their stance?”
‘”Ah! You mean…” Yuan Shao couldn’t believe that Zhang Chao would agree to this decision. In this way, it was equivalent to Zhang Chao using three thousand five against seven thousand, that was one against two.
“I mean, of course I’m listening to everyone, hehe.” Zhang Chao happily said his decision, and then looked at the map in front of him.
Zhang chao also agreed to split troops attack together, so, liu bei is not good in what to say, also had to gritted his teeth to express agreement.
Everyone agreed to split troops, this is a lot of lombardi disappointment, he originally thought that someone would beg him, but now no one opened his mouth, he is not good to take the initiative to say something.
Now that he had a policy for dealing with the enemy, he chose the battlefield. Cao Cao and Sun Jian were already prepared, and each chose a place with mountains. They had to defend against danger, so that their advantage would be even greater.
The two mountains were also chosen. After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Chao pointed to a dense forest on the map and said, “I will choose to meet the enemy here. Haha, I can’t beat them into the forest. This is a good way to escape.”
He chose to do so, and he actually said his intentions directly. He couldn’t help but gain a few gazes filled with contempt.
Zhang Chao did not care at all. He would choose the dense forest. This had been planned long ago. He was certain that no one else would fight for it. It was not convenient for him to tell everyone about its contents now.
In the end, Liu Bei chose a place near the river, which could be considered a barrier to stop the enemy. Naturally, in terms of terrain, they couldn’t compare to those two mountains. However, there was nothing he could do. There weren’t as many soldiers as the other party, so he didn’t have much say in the matter. Depression was only in his heart.
Seeing that everyone had chosen, Lombardi chuckled and said, “Alright, then I’ll start the army in the middle of the plain. We’ll just wait for the enemy to appear and then attack head-on. Wait for me to defeat my enemies in the future and I’ll come to your aid. Everyone can rest assured.”
Lombardi mouth is said to be beautiful, but not really send reinforcements, who can know? Those who could sit here were all old foxes, and they wouldn’t easily believe other people’s words. “Thank you so much,” he said politely.
“Haha.” Looking at a few different heart watch, not itching to thank, lombardi ha ha ha laugh, in the heart really think, who cares if you are dead or alive, wish you all were defeated, killed? Then who else will compete with me for merit in the future?
The meeting finally came to an end. Everyone went to make their own preparations. As soon as the enemy arrived, there would be a great battle. Victory or defeat would also determine whether the Emperor Xian could be safely brought back.
In Chang’an City, as soon as the three-day preparation time arrived, the five armies surged out from the city gates, heading straight for the direction of the Hong Clan Prefecture.
The five armies numbered 35,000. Not far from Chang’an City, they were running their separate ways. They had also learned in advance that the five armies had been separated and refused to defend. Now, they were each looking for their own opponents and were preparing for a decisive battle.
Of the five paths, Xu Rong was naturally the one with the greatest pressure.
Not only did he have to face the huge difference of 7,000 to 30,000, he also had a deputy general beside him who didn’t listen to his orders, Niu Fu.
Dong zhuo’s army is mainly divided into three systems. They were Liangzhou, Luoyang and Bingzhou City.
The Liangzhou Element naturally followed him, along with his younger brother, nephew, and son-in-law. Bingzhou City was Lyu bu and the others. As for the luoyang department is xu rong and those surrendered luoyang city defense troops.
Dong Zhuo believed in the Liangzhou Element, but he was not at ease with the others. Under normal circumstances, he would not be allowed to fight without permission. Just like this time, although said to be led by xu rong, but around with his son-in-law Niu Fu, led by him a thousand west cool cavalry, is not at ease.
Originally, there was a huge difference in the number of troops, but now, the elite thousand cavalry could not be used by him. At this moment, Xu Rong could be said to be in a difficult situation. However, he still had to take the initiative to fight. Otherwise, he would be regarded as having two hearts. This was truly too difficult.
Luckily, Xu Rong was generous in his heart and didn’t care about this. In order to win the battle, he even took the initiative to find Li Qiao and Guo Si before leaving the city. Said he would try to hold lombardi’s main army, wait for them to help him defeat lombardi.
Xu Rong’s thoughts were naturally wishful thinking, but Li Qiao and the others did agree. As for whether they could really do it or not, that was just two things to say.
Xu Rong and Niu Fu brought along a thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry as they charged towards the target, a plain.
In order to show his military might and strength, lombardi just left hundreds of people in hong nong county, and he was brought nearly thirty thousand troops line-up situation came to the plains, from afar, dense, vast, shaking people’s souls.
When Xu Rong came here, what he saw was precisely this scene. Seeing that Yuan Shaojun was well-groomed and full of morale, Xu Rong ordered the army to stop and began to discuss with Niu Fu.
“General Niu, do you think we should waste this much time with lombardi first, waiting for the other several armies to win, we in a joint army, attack the enemy camp?” Xu Rong secretly demanded that his actions be wise.
Never thought that after Niu Fu heard it, he shook his head repeatedly, “General Xu, luckily you are still a Hundred Battles General, don’t tell me that you still need to point at others to help in the war?” Although our view of Yuan Shaojun number is not small, but the strength may not be strong, they must have expected that we do not dare to attack. “There are clouds in the art of war. If we suddenly attack and launch an attack, perhaps we can catch them off guard.”
“What?” Xu Rong said in surprise. They were caught off guard. They had already set up a formation. They only waited for themselves to go, so how could they not be prepared?
Xu Rong really didn’t know if Niu Fu didn’t understand the art of war or was too fantastic.
Naturally, Niu Fu had his own reasons. As Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law, it was naturally much easier for him to stand out than others. However, no matter what, they had to be supplemented by merit points. Only then would they be able to speak better. Just like this time, if he could break through 30,000 with 7,000 yuan, that would be his greatest achievement. If that was the case, he would be able to enjoy better treatment and a higher power status. Then how could there be any idea of not fighting?
Niu Fu thought very well in his heart. If he won, he would naturally have a great contribution to make. Conversely, if he lost, it would be Lord General Xu Rongzhi’s fault. In any case, this person had never been very proud of Yue Zhang. Who wouldn’t bear the blame if there was a blame?
Niu Fu was focused on fighting, which made Xu Rong tangled up.
This person was obviously the role of the Overwatch Army. If he did not fight, he would be afraid of the enemy. After returning, he would definitely not have any good fruits to eat. If they fought, there might be a sliver of hope for victory.
“Forget it, that’s all. I’ll charge forward once and test the opponent’s strength.” Xu Rong agreed, and then ordered two thousand soldiers to prepare for the first attack.
Xu Rong to attack, cattle auxiliary naturally won’t stop, he also want to see how strong Yuan Shaojun, if the situation is bad, he is ready to escape at any time.
Brought two thousand infantry, stepped on a steady pace, with two hundred people a square formation, a full ten infantry square formation slowly moving towards Yuan Shaojun.
From afar, sitting in the middle of the army of Yuan Shao looked at the west cool infantry square formation approaching him, eyes revealed a look of disdain. “It’s really an egg touching a rock.” After sighing, Yuan Shao turned to his side and said, “The enemy wants to attack, but who refuses?”
“I’ll do it.” As soon as his voice fell, a general leapt out.
