The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() Mengjin, connecting the two banks of the Yellow River, is like a rock, blocking between Hanoi and Luoyang. This is an important ferry in the north and south of the Yellow River, and it is a must for military strategists.

But now, after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang after continuous battles, Meng Jin was not spared and became a ruin.It is a shelter for all kinds of wild animals.

Until more than ten days ago, a large army meandered forward and occupied this piece of waste again.On the top of Mengjin's dilapidated city, a fiery red battle flag was flying again.

In Mengjin City, inside a dilapidated mansion that is still intact.Cao Ren was pacing restlessly. From time to time, he would raise his eyes to look in the direction of Hanoi and talk to himself.

"Lieutenant Shi, haven't the prime minister's letter arrived yet?"

Finally, Cao Ren looked at a warrior sitting in the corner. This man was in his thirties, fair-skinned and serious. He looked like a well-educated Confucian scholar rather than a general.

In fact, Shi Huan's martial arts were not outstanding, what he relied on was his loyalty to Cao Cao, he was a veteran of the Cao family who started the army, and followed Cao Cao's fortune, all the way to this point.

After hearing Cao Ren's words, Shi Huan smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "General Cao, this is already the seventh time you have asked me today. From Luoyang to Xuchang, it will take two days at the fastest. Wait!"

"Wait, wait! Hanoi on the opposite side is on fire! I heard that Yuan Shao sent the Bingzhou army over this time, and Yang Chou is definitely Lu Yi's opponent!"

Cao Ren's character is a bit fiery.Speaking of Hanoi, he seemed a little impatient.With a dark face and beard trembling, he wished he could kill him right now.

Hearing Lu Yi's name, Shi Huan also frowned, and muttered: "This son is special. Last time he caused such a big disaster on Mount Tai, the Prime Minister thought that the Bingzhou Army had come to an end. Who knows, he Now it has appeared again!"

dong dong dong...

There was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from outside, and immediately, a titan who was nearly ten feet tall rushed over anxiously.Loudly said: "General, Yang Chou sent an envoy over!"

"What!" Cao Ren and Shi Huan were startled, hurriedly summoned, and ordered the soldiers to bring the envoy up quickly.

"General Cao, help! My master is in danger!"

A pawn covered in blood was brought in. This man had a hideous face and was definitely not a kind person.At this moment, he was unkempt, his clothes were torn, and there were even several arrow wounds on his back.Seeing Cao Ren, he immediately bowed down and took out a bloody letter from his bosom.

Cao Ren was moved. He recognized this person and met him once. At that time, Yang Chou had just been instigated to rebel, so he sent this person to contact Cao Ren to seek asylum.

"What did the letter say? Where did Lu Yi go?" Seeing Cao Ren holding the letter, Shi Huan couldn't help asking.

"Shedogs have been killed! Yang Chou's remnant army is all huddled in the city, waiting for help!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth, threw the letter to Shi Huan, and then roared angrily, cursing: "A bunch of trash, It's only been a few days, and he was killed to the bottom of the city!"

"You can't say that. It seems that two thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry were dispatched this time. There is no general in Hanoi. They can't beat Lu Yi, and it's just what he said! It's just a matter in Hanoi. We should inform the lord immediately and ask him to make a decision!" Shi Shi Huan was quite calm. Although he was shocked by the strength of the state army, he was not in a hurry.

"You two generals, you can't wait! The Bingzhou army is too brutal. People in Shegou City are already in a state of panic. My generals are almost overwhelmed. We can only make an agreement with the generals that Cao Jun will come within three days. If the two generals If you don't go, Hanoi is in danger!"

The pawn slapped, cried bitterly, begged the two, and told the delicate situation in Shegou City.

Cao Ren's complexion immediately changed wildly.Shi Huan was also shocked.They didn't doubt Xiaopawn's words, because such a situation was very likely to happen.

"I can't wait anymore. Yang Chou murdered the lord. His foothold is not stable. Now he is defeated by Lu Yi. If we don't go to the rescue, there will be changes in the city!"

Cao Ren thought for a while and said in a deep voice.Order people to take the pawn down to rest and recuperate.

"However, my lord ordered that if you see Yuan Jun dispatched, you should stand by on the spot and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before crossing the river!" Shi Huan was still a little hesitant.I feel that Cao Cao's military orders should be followed closely.

"Hmph! We have tens of thousands of crossbows in our army, and I'm afraid he won't succeed with only [-] cavalry! Don't say too much, come and pass on my military order, and the whole army will pull out their camp and prepare to cross the river!"

"This... good!" Shi Huan thought for a while, and felt that his side had the upper hand. He was even more afraid that Hanoi would fall and Cao Cao's affairs would be ruined, so he could only seal the letter he received, and sent a fast horse to Xuchang.

Immediately, Mengjin Cao Jun heard the sound and moved. At Mengjin Ferry, battle flags fluttered, guns and halberds were like forests, and groups of soldiers crowded around the edge of the ferry with cold expressions, making loud noises, or shouting, revealing a sense of ferocity.

Not far away, Cao Ren was wearing a fiery red battle armor and riding a majestic Liaodong war horse, staring coldly at the other side of the Yellow River.

"General, the ferry is ready, which team should we let go first?" Shi Huan rode his horse and ran over, cupped his hands towards Cao Ren, and asked respectfully.

"Here's an order to order Wei Xu to lead his troops as the vanguard, to cross the Yellow River quickly, with great fanfare all the way, and to make Lu Yi know as soon as possible!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Cao Ren's mouth, and he gave orders loudly.

Shi Huan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "The general's plan is very good, maybe we can break the siege of shepherds without sending a single soldier!" Then, he turned around immediately and conveyed the military order.

Half an hour later, a Cao army with about 2000 people boarded a big boat, paddled their oars, and kept approaching the north bank of the Yellow River.

Seeing Cao Jun crossing the river, in a dense forest on the north bank, a cavalry quickly mounted his horse, with hatred on his face, and ran towards the barracks at high speed.

"What, are you sure, Wei Xu is the leader!"

Commander in charge of the Chinese army, Lu Yi's spirit was gloomy, and he roared loudly, with traces of blood flickering in his eyes.Wei Xu, who has internal and external relatives with Lu Bu, is Lu Bu's most trusted general.

It was this person who went down to Picheng that day, colluded with Hou Cheng and others, and defected before the battle, causing the Bingzhou Army to be almost wiped out.Lu Yi wished he could shoot this man's arrows through his heart.

As soon as he heard that Cao Jun actually used Wei Xu as the vanguard, Lu Yi wished he could kill him now and fight this life and death

"Roar!"

Outside the barracks, countless soldiers were yelling and roaring like madmen.Lu Yi did not hide the news, and it immediately spread throughout the army.Immediately aroused the soldiers to go berserk.

Many soldiers tore their clothes on the spot, exposing their scarred upper bodies, and roared loudly.Like a beast.

"My lord, where is Wei Xu? Please order me to kill this man now!" Zhang Liao came out in a rage, like a mighty lion, while walking, the ground shook and made a dull sound.

"This man came just in time. I was about to take his life to pay homage to Wen Hou Zaitian's spirit!" Gao Shun came over after hearing the news, his expression was indifferent, as if he had lost all emotion, and what he had was only deep-seated hatred.

He raised his eyes, his eyes were empty, but there was a cold glint.He coldly glanced at Sui Gu who was not far away, and immediately made Sui Gu look like a frightened white rabbit, wanting to run away.

"Brother Gao, you are too cold, don't scare our little white rabbit!"

Zang Ba laughed loudly, striding forward, first he teased Sui Gu, then his expression turned cold, he cupped his hands towards Lu Yi, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the last general has not made an inch of merit since he surrendered, this Wei Xu, Leave it to me!"

"No! This person can only be killed by us!"

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao opposed at the same time, with a very stern tone. They stood up at the same time and joined forces to oppose Zang Ba.

"Hmph, on the battlefield, where do you control so much, whoever bumps into it belongs to him!" Sun Guan jumped out of nowhere and stood with Zang Ba, his eyes showing no sign of weakness.

The two sides are at war with each other, and if there is a big disagreement, they will draw their swords to each other.Sui Gu, who was watching from the side, was terrified, and secretly thought that the Bingzhou Army was indeed a lunatic, so he automatically stood far away, not wanting to get too close.

"Okay, okay, what's the use of arguing, the lord has to decide everything!" Chen Gong smoothed things over, not wanting to make the two sides quarrel!He glanced at Lu Yi again with some concern.

Lu Yi's face was indifferent, and he didn't stop his subordinates from quarreling. Wei Xu appeared again. The news was too shocking, and he needed to give everyone a moment to digest it.

Seeing that the generals gradually calmed down, Lu Yi opened his mouth slowly and said with a sneer, "Cao Jun's move is really beautiful!"

All the generals trembled when they heard the words, revealing a trace of thought.

"Your lord, you mean that this Wei Xu was sent out on purpose by Cao Ren?" Sun Guan was much more honest after experiencing the madness last time. He pondered carefully and found some clues.

Lu Yi nodded and explained: "This strategy is very simple, but very effective. Cao Ren seized our hatred for Wei Xu and hoped to use him to lure us so that Yang Chou in the city would have time to breathe!"

"So, Cao Jun, you've been fooled!" Zhang Liao Gao Shun's eyes flashed, all showing excitement.They are not reckless people, but just now when they heard Wei Xu's news suddenly, they lost their composure, but recovered quickly.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Zang Ba couldn't help asking.He is gearing up, eager to try.Hope to be able to achieve a great success.Completely establish his position in the Bingzhou Army.

Lu Yi did not speak, looked at Sui Gu, first sent someone to calm down the restless soldiers, and then led everyone into the commander's tent.Then he looked at Chen Gong,

"Military division, what do you think we should do?"

Chen Gong frowned when he heard the words, and muttered: "Now that Cao Jun has crossed the river, the most important thing is to find a way to cut off their return route, and if it doesn't work, burn their boats. Only in this way can we fight Cao Jun who is crossing the river." , otherwise, once the follow-up Cao army comes up, we can only stick to the dogs and wait for the reinforcements from Hebei!"

"The military advisor is right. It's just that when Cao Jun crosses the river, he will definitely give priority to protecting the ferry. Moreover, there will definitely be a large number of ships docking in Mengjin on the other side. It seems impossible for us to cut off Cao Jun's retreat!" Zhang Liao thought for a while. , raised his concerns.

Lu Yi also nodded when he heard it. According to the spies, there may be 1 troops crossing the river in Cao Jun's army, and they all look sharp, not ordinary soldiers.

However, although there are many surrendered troops in Hanoi, few are really capable of fighting.It's okay to defend the city, but the field battle is obviously no match for Cao Jun.

"It would be great if Yuan Shang's [-] soldiers came here, but I guess he is waiting for my good show now!" Lu Yi rubbed his head, feeling a little headache,

He took the initiative to lure Cao's army here. He didn't think too much about it at the time. He just thought that Cao Cao would have to cross the river sooner or later.

But now that the temptation came, Lu Yi suddenly realized that his strength didn't seem to be strong enough. If he really fought Cao Ren recklessly, it would be a lose-lose at best.

This is not the result he wanted.The current Bingzhou Army can't afford that kind of loss.

In the tent, there was a moment of silence.All the generals frowned, showing contemplation, but everyone's eyes were firm. Wei Xu was in front, and no one was willing to let go of the chance to kill him.

Lu Yi, also can't!

How to do it?Lu Yi's eyes were already on the faces of the generals, and he looked down at a huge sand table in Zhong Yang.He ordered people to make it temporarily according to the map, which marked the geography of mountains and rivers from Hanoi to Mengjin.

Suddenly, Lu Yi's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a small black spot on the edge of the Yellow River, "Where is this place?"

All the generals looked over one after another, then shook their heads. Although they were familiar with Hanoi, that place was so remote that no one knew them.

Sui Gu hesitated for a while, then frowned and said: "This place looks like a wild ferry. I remember that when Mengjin was destroyed, Zhang Taishou once planned to open a new ferry on the north bank, but the terrain was too complicated, so it didn't work out in the end!"

"So, this is a wild crossing!" Chen Gong's eyes lit up slightly, and his emotions became a little excited. He leaned over, thought about it carefully, and patted his thigh and said. "My lord, I have a plan! We might as well cross the river from the wild and take down Mengjin. As long as Mengjin strikes, Cao Ren will lose his way out, and there will be chaos. When the time comes, it will be our chance!"

"No way, generals, you can't go to that place. The current is fast and the mountain is very steep. If you accidentally fall into the water, you will die!"

Sui Gu also counted on Lu Yi's recommendation and joined Yuan Tan's tent. At this time, he hurriedly got up and told the horror of Yedu.

The ferry mentioned by Sui Gu is close to Yewang, so it is also called Yewang Ferry.It was Zhang Yang's original choice, and he planned to use it to station troops as a springboard to attack Sili.

It's a pity that the terrain there is too steep, with steep mountains on both sides, and a rushing river in the middle. The rushing water roars down, and a wave can even capsize a large ship. Zhang Yang can only give up.

Only Mengjin, with flat terrain and steady water flow, is the best crossing on both sides of the strait, where heavy troops can be stationed, and it is a must-fight for military strategists.

But Lu Yi just took a fancy to this Ye Du.

"General Lu, you really can't go through here. The water there is very fast. If you are not careful, the lives of the entire ship will be lost. Moreover, even if people pass by, they will not be able to carry food, grass, ordnance!" Sui Sui Gu is still persuading, hoping that Lu Yi will change his mind.

But Lu Yi shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "No, this time Cao Ren crossed the river, I always feel a little uneasy, especially because he used Wei Xu as a bait, obviously, it was to arouse our hatred, so as to start a decisive battle with him How could Cao Ren dare to do this without absolute certainty!"

"My lord is right. I am also worried about this. I am a state army cavalry unparalleled. Cao Ren must be prepared. If Cao's army carries a large number of crossbows, I am afraid we will suffer!" Chen Gong's eyes were burning.The color of wisdom shone inside.

His words immediately shocked many people and made them sweat all over.If Cao Jun really had a large number of strong crossbows, it would definitely be a sharp weapon against the cavalry. Even Yang Chou back then planned to rely on strong crossbows to deal with the Bingzhou army.

Everyone understood the seriousness of the matter, and they stared at Ye Du with serious expressions.

"I have decided, no matter what, I must successfully cross the river from here!" Lu Yi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.Cao's army is coming aggressively, and this is only the first wave. If it is a decisive battle, the Bingzhou army does not have much chance of winning. If they can surprise Mengjin and cut off Cao's food supply, Cao Ren will definitely retreat immediately.

Moreover, without Mengjin's food and grass, Cao Cao just wanted to attack Hanoi again, which seemed unlikely.If Lu Yi remembered correctly, Cao Cao's hands were always short of food.

In his heart, there was a vague guess that the battle of Guandu would take a year to break out, but judging from the actions of Yuan and Cao's family, it seems that the two sides had been preparing silently for a long time.

Yuan Shao is gathering troops, and Cao Cao is naturally gathering food!

After understanding the joints, Lu Yi's confidence increased greatly.He shouted in a deep voice: "General Gao, General Zang listen to the order!"

"The end is here!"

Gao Shun Zang Ba got up together, his face full of solemnity.

"General Zang, I order you to lead Hanoi to surrender, and under my banner, set up a camp ten miles away from Cao's army to attract Cao Ren's attention! General Suigu, your soldiers and horses are temporarily entrusted to our command!"

"My lord, don't worry, as long as the last general survives, Cao's army will not be able to move forward!" Zang Ba was full of excitement, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers in Hanoi. Although the combat power was low, the defense was still more than enough.

Sui Gu also understood the importance of the matter and dared not refuse.Also nodded, agreeing.

"General Gao, I ordered you to bring wolf cavalry to cooperate with them. Of course, the most important thing is to keep an eye on Wei Xu. Since he has come to Hanoi, don't go back!" Lu Yihan said in a voice, fists clenched ring.

Gao Shun didn't speak, but nodded his head heavily, but there was a glint of coldness in his eyes.

"General Zhang, you and I will bring the fighters, and we will go to Yedu immediately." Lu Yi took a deep breath, calming his beating heart, and said loudly.

"My lord, you are going too!" Chen Gong's expression changed, and he glanced at Lu Yi worriedly.Sui Gu's eyes were even more terrified, thinking that Lu Yi was really crazy.

"That's right, I want to go too! Uncle Zhang and I are the strongest in the army. Everyone is not very clear about Meng Jin's situation. If there is a general guarding there, one more person will go there, and there will be more insurance!"

Lu Yi said with a serious face.He knew in his heart that Cao Cao lacked everything, and what he lacked the most were civil servants and generals. In this regard, even Yuan Shao, who dominates Hebei and is known as the number one prince in the world, cannot compare.

He didn't want to cross the Yellow River after going through hardships and dangers, but he was defeated by the city of Mengjin!
