Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"Lord, this Yuan Shu's army is too..." Time went back to the Dafu Mountain ambush battle. Zhang Xiu and Li Meng came back with their troops to pursue Chen Lan. Their young faces were full of excitement, but they were still a little hesitant.

"Weak?" Lu Bu stood on the top of the mountain. As the lord, he did not participate in the battle. Now he is more responsible for commanding. He can charge into the battle, but it is not necessary.

Zhang Xiu nodded. The armies of Chen Lan and Yuan Shu were really not worthy of their recognition of the world's best princes. When they were ambushed, there was almost no response. It was not much different from directly blowing up the camp. They said it was a group of mountains. It can be a thief, but it is really difficult to associate it with the army of the best prince in the world.

Lu Bu smiled, and Li Meng on the side laughed and said: "Silly boy, it's not that Yuan Shu is weak, but that our army is too strong. Our Xiliang army is all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. The princes of the Central Plains want to fight with me just a few years after they formed an army." The army resisted? You have never seen outside Hulao Pass. The Lord used thousands of troops to kill the coalition forces of the princes. Entering the coalition camp was like entering an uninhabited land. Among the princes, there is now Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu's achievements have been publicized intentionally or unintentionally as Lu Bu came to power. The most popular thing is that outside Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was attacked from both sides, betrayed by the villain Hu Zhen, and a hundred thousand allied troops blocked the way. Lu Bu was almost in a desperate situation. Go down and fight your way through life and death.

Every time he heard this, Zhang Xiu's blood always surged up. He wished he could go back to that time and fight alongside Lu Bu like Hua Xiong and Gao Shun!

"Yuan Shu also has a strong army under his command, so don't be careless!" Lu Bu put away his command flag, looked around and said, "We guessed it all the way this time, but we won't be so lucky next time!"

This battle at Dafu Mountain involved a lot of luck, and Lu Bu also suffered from it. However, with the success of this surprise attack, Yuan Shu and other parties will inevitably be more vigilant. Moreover, Lu Bu has so many troops, and he wants to stop fighting without being noticed by the opponent's sentinels. It's almost impossible, this is Yuan Shu's territory after all.

The next battle will not be so easy.

"My lord, you think too highly of them. How can Yuan Shu's men have a strong army?" Li Meng followed Lu Bu and got on his horse, saying disdainfully.

Zhang Xiu, who had just won a battle on the side, was very excited. Hearing this, he was also a little curious and eager to try. If he just fought against such an opponent, then this battle would be meaningless.

"The Changsha soldiers led by Sun Jian were extremely brave. When Hu Zhen was almost killed, the whole army was wiped out. If I hadn't captured Sun Jian and his generals before the battle, Hu Zhen and I would have lost most of the battle!" Lu Bu While looking at the terrain, he said.

"How could my lord lose?" Zhang Xiu now had an inexplicable admiration for Lu Bu and could not tolerate others saying that Lu Bu was not good, even if Lu Bu himself said so.

Lu Bu: "..."

Has this kid gone too far?

He shook his head and said: "Where in the world can there be such a victorious general? I was defeated many times in my early years!"

Lu Bu doesn't really want the blind admiration of others. Although this will give people a strong motivation, it will also make people lose themselves. Zhang Xiu is a younger generation of military commanders that he likes. His martial arts skills are not inferior to Ma Chao, but he has things that Ma Chao does not have. Being stable and mature, worshiping oneself too much will make him lose himself. This is a taboo for a general!

"You're just..." Zhang Xiu was a little annoyed and wanted to argue with Lu Bu, but when he saw the look in Lu Bu's eyes, he suddenly got stuck, not because he was afraid, but because he couldn't say anything anymore.

If someone else said this, he could suppress the other person's identity and then refute, but now he was facing Lu Bu, what should he say?

You are just my lord, how can you understand Lu Bu?

It always felt strange to say this, but seeing the person he admired not cherishing his reputation, Zhang Xiu felt somewhat sad: "How can my lord lose his reputation?"

"If you admit defeat, will you lose your reputation?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically: "A person who dare not deny his own mistakes and failures is really worthy of being called a hero?"

Zhang Xiu looked at Lu Bu blankly, saying this, it seems that such a person is indeed a bit unbearable.

"You must have heard the truth, so it goes without saying. It's just...I, Lu Bu, have failed in my life. Why do I need others to comment?" Lu Bu shook his head, ignored him, and rode forward.

"Boy, you don't really think that someone is born to fight, do you?" Dian Wei rode a horse with an iron halberd on his shoulder. Ever since Lu Bu asked the craftsmen to tinker with stirrups, Dian Wei has been riding horses much more frequently. Now he is In a horse fight, Dian Wei can also compete with Lu Bu.

Zhang Xiu looked at Lu Bu and then at Dian Wei. The invincible image of Lu Bu in his heart collapsed, but at this moment Lu Bu seemed more attractive.

"Lord, wait for me~" Zhang Xiu rode up to follow Lu Bu.

Xingzang has been missed in the Dafu Mountain area, so Lu Bu decided to take action and look for another army of the opponent.

Knowing that he might fight against a powerful army that almost defeated Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu was not afraid at all, but rather excited to try.

Everyone walked through the mountains. By evening, they had traveled from Dafu Mountain to Lang Mountain. To the east was Langling. The army had reached this point and there was not much food and grass. If they could not get food and grass as soon as possible, they would have to go back to replenish the food and grass and then come back. Fighting, not to mention wasting time, it is very likely that some fighter opportunities will be missed in this round.

"Take Langling?" Li Meng looked at Lu Bu and suggested.

"Unless people are taken out to eat, a Langling city can't provide much food and grass." Lu Bu shook his head and rejected the proposal. Compared with the main force who found Yuan Shu, Lu Bu was more interested in the opponent's food supply. Interested in fighting a war without food and fodder, Lu Bu has become so familiar with it that it has become an instinct. Almost every time he faces a battle, the first thing Lu Bu thinks about is where is the opponent's food path?

The Dafu Mountain line has been cut off by Lu Bu, so the grain road cannot be used again. Of the other routes, the fastest way to transport grain is undoubtedly the waterway. In the land of Runan, there are tributaries of the Huai River everywhere. This is why Yuan Shu did not The main reason why a large army can come to Nanyang is how to prepare.

Water transportation is much more convenient than land transportation and can save Yuan Shu a lot of labor and material costs. Even Lu Bu's grain and grass borrowed part of the water conservancy to help Lu Bu save grain, grass and manpower.

Therefore, as long as you stare at the main tributaries of the Huai River, you can roughly estimate where the other party's grain channels are.

"My lord, you said that since Yuan Shu has so many soldiers and horses, why not gather them in one place and separate them like this, doesn't it give us a chance to defeat each other?" At night, after everyone set up camp, Zhang Xiu joined Lu Bu again around.

If he hadn't known that this was Lu Bu's favorite general, Dian Wei would have doubted whether this kid was an assassin?

"A large number of people is not necessarily a good thing." Lu Bu was writing and drawing on the ground with half a branch, and said casually: "How will you run an army if I give you a thousand men and horses?"

Zhang Xiu didn't even think about it: "Don't let there be any shortage of food and grass, just make sure the orders are correct."

"How about ten thousand?" Lu Bu raised his head. The most people Zhang Xiu has led so far is three thousand. How can he lead an army of ten thousand?

"Detailed orders?" Zhang Xiu has naturally read military books. With an army of ten thousand people, orders must be strict. As for how strict they are, you have to do it yourself.

"With ten thousand people, how much feces does each person excrete every day? How best to arrange the defecation of soldiers?" Lu Bu asked a simple question.

Li Meng laughed at the side. Although this question is vulgar, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is the first lesson. Lu Bu obviously did not ask casually. This matter is not trivial to be particular about.

Zhang Xiu has seen Lu Bu and Li Meng arrange these things in the past few days, but he still doesn't know why.

Lu Bu looked at Li Meng, obviously letting Li Meng do the talking.

"The distribution of latrines in the army must be such that all soldiers can deal with them nearby. However, there should not be too many latrines, nor too few. Regardless of whether they are redundant or not, there must be a number. Many times, judging the size of the enemy's army depends on the number of latrines left behind. You can make a rough guess; in addition, soldiers also have to pay attention to when they go to the toilet. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks just when they are going to the toilet, but there are a large number of soldiers and horses going to the toilet, it will be easy for them to break into the camp. In serious cases, it is also common to bomb the camp. some."

There are these things in books, but they are definitely not so detailed. Many military principles can only be learned in the military, and you will never understand them by reading military books.

"This is just one point. The more soldiers and horses there are, many seemingly ordinary little things, when placed on ten thousand or even one hundred thousand people, are major events that can affect the outcome. As a coach, you need to consider the overall situation and consider all aspects. People and 10,000 people are two different concepts, as are 10,000 people and 100,000 people. This is not as simple as ten times the number." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Xiu and smiled and said, "Now we know why Yuan Shu didn't join forces. one place?"

"Incompetent?" Zhang Xiu thought he had found the answer.

this……

Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Li Meng groped their chins after hearing this. This can be explained. Xun You, who was sleepy at the side, glanced at Zhang Xiu helplessly: "Little general, this is a lack of talent, not incompetence."

How many commanders have there been in history who can command hundreds of thousands of troops? Yuan Shu separated the troops and horses and let the generals lead them separately, but it was also a compromise.

Dian Wei scratched his head, looked at Xun You and said, "Gongda, what's the difference between what you said and what he said?"

Isn’t lack of talent equal to incompetence?

Xun You was speechless for a moment. It seemed that there was no difference, but Yuan Shu wasn't incompetent, was he?

After a pause: "Insufficient talent means having talent but not reaching the extreme, and incompetence means having no talent at all. How can we compare them?"

Dian Wei frowned and said, "Then how talented is Yuan Shu?"

Xun You didn't answer. He was not familiar with Yuan Shu. Being able to do this kind of thing is like a woman getting pregnant. It takes time to tell. What's the use of asking Yuan Shu how much he has?

"That's the truth. Even though this battle is won, all other parties must be vigilant. It won't be easy to defeat the enemy so easily today!" Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Let's all go and have a rest. We will have another battle tomorrow." On our way."

"Here!" When the generals saw that Lu Bu was driving away people, they each stood up and said goodbye and returned to the camp.
