I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Going to Suan Jujube
Lu Bu was a little overjoyed when he heard that he was allowed to be the commander-in-chief, and he was a little unbelievable. After all, he was a newcomer, and he would lead the army to complete such an important task when he came up. He didn't expect it at first.

Although he joined Li Shimin for a long time, his fiery temper has already challenged all the generals in the army. Without exception, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun are not his opponents. reputation in the army.

Only then did everyone look at this new general with admiration.Sure enough, he was the champion of the three armies, unparalleled in the world.I finally understood why Li Shimin gave the title of Huben Army to Lu Bu's army.

Li Shimin saw that Lu Bu was hesitant and did not take orders in time, and he also understood Lu Bu's concerns, so he smiled and said to him: "Fengxian, your ability is obvious to all, and what is missing is an opportunity. This surprise attack is of great significance to our army. , You can’t make mistakes, it’s a huge test for you, I have confidence in you. But you can’t do things arbitrarily, listen to the opinions of the military adviser more, you can understand.”

Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and seeing Li Shimin's expectant expression, he quickly realized Li Shimin's painstaking efforts, and his heart was very warm and appropriate. He knew that this was Li Shimin's great trust in him, and it was also a chance for him to rectify his name.

He felt more and more what a wise decision it was to join Li Shimin's command. This feeling of being trusted and reused was not felt in Ding Yuan's army.

Then he paid homage and said: "The last general is ordered, and he should be smashed to pieces to repay the kindness of the lord."

Everyone's heart is fleshy, and sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, and heart-to-heart is the easiest to impress them. This kind of superior art of controlling people is not something everyone can possess.

Seeing that Lu Bu was very moved, Li Shimin was a little proud.For a fierce general like Lu Bu, trust and reuse are the most useful magic weapons.Since he can be reused by Li Shimin and has a great future, why should he rely on others?

"Yuanzhi, Zilong, and Bodao stayed in Taiyuan, appointed Xu Shu as governor of Bingzhou, and I did not act as governor of the state during the period, Zilong stayed in Bingzhou as Sima of Bingzhou to support the Quartet, and Bodao was prefect of Yanmen, defending the northern barbarians. "Li Shimin was also worried that Dong Zhuo might unite with other races to cause trouble for himself, so he did it ahead of time.

Linghu Chu knew that he was not Li Shimin's confidant, so he submitted his resignation in advance and withdrew, and Li Shimin naturally readily agreed.

The three of them clasped their fists together and said, "No, please obey the Lord's order."

Li Shimin nodded and continued to order: "This time our army is going on an expedition. It is not ruled out that Dong Zhuo will join forces with Qiang to come to Bingzhou to make trouble. The Xianbei people in the north will not be willing to be lonely and come to take advantage of the fire. Therefore, everyone has a heavy responsibility, and Bingzhou must not lose anything!"

After Li Shimin's analysis, the three of them knew that they had great responsibilities, and they dared not be careless even more.

"The army to attack Dong Zhuo will set off in ten days. All the armies will be assembled in advance and ready to go." Li Shimin said with some excitement: "Everyone, the battle to conquer the world is about to begin..."

Everyone also showed fanaticism and excitement.

…………

In the first month of the first year of Chuping (190), heroes from all over the country raised their troops, under the banner of seeking Dong, and elected Yuan Shao as the leader.

Among them: Bohai Governor Yuan Shao, Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Hanoi Governor Wang Kuang, Chenliu Governor Zhang Miao, Guangling Governor Zhang Chao, Dongjun Governor Qiao Mao, Sanyang Prefect Yuan Yi and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin.

At that time, because of his low official position, Cao Cao participated in the discussion with Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.

According to the official history, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zan actually did not participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, because Liu Bei had defected to Gongsun Zan at that time, so naturally there was no Liu Bei in the coalition against Dong Zhuo.

The Kwantung Allied Forces were stationed in different places, so there was no [-]th Route princes meeting to discuss Dong, and everyone followed Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. In fact, there was no unified order, and everyone went their own way. This ally.

At that time, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang stationed troops in Hanoi, Zhang Yang left Ding Yuan and led thousands of people to join him.Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin and Cao Cao stationed troops in Suanzao.Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang, and Sun Jian rushed from Changsha to join Yuan Shu.Kong Ni stationed troops in Yingchuan, while Han Fu stayed in Yecheng and gave the coalition troops rations.

The reason why Li Shimin went to Suanzao was because Cao Cao invited them, and the two had known each other before.On the other hand, it was because he knew that the coalition forces stationed in Suanzao were the ones who were really willing to attack Dong Zhuo. In fact, only Cao Cao, who was not too strong, was the only one who was willing to attack Dong Zhuo.

…………

Li Shimin led an army of nearly [-], including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.The leading generals under his command are Guan Yu, Zhang Liao leading the Longxiang Army, Long Wu, and Li Shimin's Shence Army.

The army headed south all the way, and after leaving the Taihang Mountains, it went east all the way, passed through Shangdang County, and then went out of Huguan, and then arrived at Wei County in Jizhou. After Li Shimin got about [-] shi of grain and grass, he headed south all the way to the jujube.

Because most of Li Shimin's troops were cavalry, he marched relatively fast. After about half a month, he arrived at Suanzao, where he joined Cao Cao and others, and planned to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo.

Everyone saw that Li Shimin's soldiers were strong and strong, and there were [-] cavalry. Just by looking at their momentum, they knew that they were elite soldiers with a hundred battles.Except for Cao Cao, almost everyone is very jealous of Li Shimin. Most of the princes did not have the slightest joy of being able to win Dong Sheng, but were worried.

When Cao Cao saw Li Shimin coming, he was very happy in his heart, and suddenly felt that the battle was more certain, so he went to visit Li Shimin more enthusiastically.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your Majesty is so powerful in the north of the Great Wall that he pacified Xiutu and made great achievements in battle. I admire him very much. Today, he has made military achievements to attack Dong Zhuo. The merit lies in the country. He is indeed a true hero." Cao Cao said from the bottom of his heart. express their admiration for Li Shimin.

Naturally, Li Shimin could also feel that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart, not just a scene with ulterior motives, so he felt very comfortable in his heart, and said to Cao Cao with a smile: "General Cao is too modest, it is all the life of the soldiers under his command, and the three armies serve to death. , They are the true heroes.”

Cao Cao saw that Li Shimin was so self-effacing and attributed all the credit to his subordinates, he was not proud at all, and he was even more fond of him. He thought that this man has built such a large foundation in such a short period of time, and his reputation is by no means in vain.

He inadvertently looked at the soldiers under Li Shimin's command. Sure enough, their faces were all red, and they were inexplicably excited. Cao Cao felt a sense of pride that soldiers would die for their confidants. Obviously, everyone was also moved by Li Shimin's words.
