Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 170 Changes

At first, when Lu Bu came to Wancheng, he didn't actually think about fighting Yuan Shu.

Defeating three armies in a row, Lu Bu's purpose of coming out this time has actually been achieved. He came to Wancheng, ostensibly to show off his power, but in fact it was to undermine Yuan Shu's morale.

But Lu Bu didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be so impatient and make such a decision.

At first, Lu Bu doubted whether Yuan Shu was ambushing troops nearby before he went to battle. However, west of Wancheng, there was a vast plain. Although there was a river blocking it, it was impossible to hide troops in such terrain and escape the scouts. Only the side facing the river could It is possible to hide troops.

However, whether or not troops were hidden near the river had no effect on Lu Bu, so Lu Bu judged that Yuan Shu was really angered by him, and regardless of the terrain and timing, he brazenly sent troops to encircle and suppress him.

In the wilderness, infantry can defeat cavalry. Unless there is a hedging, otherwise as long as the cavalry does not charge head-on and the cavalry generals have a certain level of skill, it will be impossible to succeed.

Being angered so easily made his evaluation of Yuan Shu drop a few notches. This is not the character that a hegemon should have!

But since the other party took the initiative to hit him in the face, how could Lu Bu let him go so easily?

When Ji Ling and others withdrew, Lu Bu fought back again.

Although Ji Ling reacted in time, the army could not react in time to form a formation. Lu Bu first fired a wave of mounted shots on horseback, which made the already scattered formation even more chaotic. The infantry in formation were like lambs to be slaughtered in this situation.

"Stay steady! Don't panic!" Under the pale sky, Ji Ling tried hard to maintain stability. Facing the cavalry, escaping at this time was the stupidest thing to do. The general formation must be stabilized.

Ji Ling's shouting did play a part. After all, Yuan Jun could not be regarded as a real mob. It was just a temporary defeat that would not lead to a complete defeat.

However, Ji Ling's army barely stabilized their position. Chen Lan's army, which had been defeated by Lu Bu, no longer had this mentality. They had already been killed by Lu Bu and were frightened. At this moment, Lu Bu's best breakthrough point was coming. The cavalry went straight to where Chen Lan was. At the bottom, a huge cavalry formation surged forward. It seemed powerful, but in fact the speed was far from the maximum.

However, the pressure brought by the cavalry formation caused Chen Lanjun to completely collapse and began to flee crazily towards the city gate, directly destroying the formation that Ji Ling had just stabilized!

Chance!

Lu Bu was like a wolf king hunting his prey. The moment the enemy showed his weakness, he would not hesitate to pounce on him and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!

Taking advantage of Chen Lan's opening to the enemy, Lu Bu's cavalry formation was like a sharp knife cutting through tofu, easily cutting through the already fragile formation of the reinforcements.

Then there was a massacre.

It was no longer possible for Yuan Shu's army to maintain any military formation, and they rushed towards the city gate.

Lu Bu's eyes fell on the city gate, and he wanted to take the opportunity to rush in several times. However, Yuan Shu was afraid that Lu Bu would come in at the top of the city, so he ordered Liu Xun to release an arrow at all costs, and shot Lu Bu. Only then did he stop Lu Bu's attack, and even The cavalry suffered a lot of losses, but more Yuan troops died under the rule of Luanjian!

Lu Bu failed to rush into the city after several attempts. On the other side, Ji Ling entered the city and began to reorganize military discipline. At this time, there was no good chance to expand the victory, but it was enough so far.

Lu Bu led his cavalry to a stone's throw away, looked in the direction of the city, suddenly exhaled, and laughed loudly: "Yuan Gongli, I suddenly feel sorry for you!"

With Yuan Shu's performance, even if he doesn't meet him, he will be a stepping stone for others in the future!

After saying that, he didn't stop any longer and left with his troops.

On the city tower, Yuan Shu looked at the cavalry's leaving figures with a livid face. In today's battle, not only did he fail to capture Lu Bu, but he was beaten by Lu Bu and lost his armor.

Not counting how many men and horses were lost, but morale... let alone morale, after the news of today's battle, Yuan Shu's face was completely lost. Originally, if he didn't send troops, it wouldn't be like this, but because of this momentary anger, it is tantamount to taking the initiative He threw his face at the opponent's feet and was trampled on repeatedly by the opponent!

"My lord, the last general..." After Ji Ling packed up the lieutenants, he brought Chen Lan and Qiao Rui to Yuan Shu and bowed to Yuan Shu.

Regardless of the root cause of this defeat, as a general, there is no doubt that he lost the battle.

"This battle shouldn't have been fought, right?" Yuan Shu did not answer, but looked in the direction Lu Bu left and asked suddenly.

The expressions of Ji Ling and the others changed, and they bowed and said: "The general is incompetent, and the Lord's face will be damaged..."

Yuan Shu raised his hand to stop the words of Ji Ling and the others, looked at the direction Lu Bu left and said, "That's all, today's battle is beyond your reach. Let's go down and rest."

After the arrogance in his chest gradually dissipated, Yuan Shu, who regained his rationality, also understood that the cause of the defeat in this battle was actually his own. He should not have sent troops in the first place. Taking over led to a huge defeat. At this time, it was useless to blame Ji Ling and others. Coming to Yuan Shu was somewhat embarrassing, but it was impossible for him to admit that he was wrong.

It might be the best outcome for everyone if we don't mention the black matter or the white matter and expose the matter.

"Here!"

The three generals have followed Yuan Shu for a long time, and naturally they know that this is when Yuan Shu realizes that he was wrong, and he feels relieved. No one will get entangled in this matter at this time. With a lord like Yuan Shu, ability is not the most important, but the most important thing. You have to be discerning and be a good person, otherwise it will be difficult to eat here.

Yuan Shu suffered a series of defeats, and was blocked and beaten by Lu Bu at the door of his home. Naturally, his face was disgraced and his morale was low. When Lu Bu led his cavalry to Nie Yang, Li Meng and Zhang Xiu had also led their troops back, and Gao Shun was busy reinforcing Nie Yang. Yang, ready to fight the Nanyang army.

"Will Yuan Shu send troops in the next few days?" After Lu Bu settled the cavalry, he led everyone to Nieyang Yamen, and smiled and told what happened after he separated from Li Meng and Zhang Xiu.

After suffering successive defeats, the morale of Yuan Shu's army must be low. Even if he does not retreat, he may not dare to fight rashly until his morale is restored.

"Lord, do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city at this time?" Li Meng was a little excited. Yuan Shu's army was severely beaten, morale was low, and his troops were seriously damaged. His control over Nanyang must have been reduced. Should he take the opportunity to attack the city and seize the territory at this time? Capture all the cities?

Lu Bu shook his head and said nothing.

Yin Feng bowed and said: "My lord, I think this move is inappropriate. Although our army has won consecutive victories, Yuan's army is powerful. If we divide our troops to attack the city at this time, not to mention wasting our troops, it will be easier for Yuan Shu to defeat them one by one! And on the battlefield Once it spreads, it will affect the entire Nanyang. At that time, the people of Nanyang will flee. As far as our army is concerned, even if we finally capture Nanyang, it will still be in dilapidated condition. It is better to gather our troops in one place and take advantage of this great victory to fight with Yuan Shu. Seeking a decisive battle, if we can win in one battle, why worry about Yuan Shu not retreating?"

Lu Bu and Li Ru looked at each other and nodded with a smile. What Yin Feng said was exactly what they both thought. Now is not the time to rush to capture the city. As long as Yuan Shu is beaten away, Nanyang will naturally be theirs.

"What Ci Zeng said is true. Don't rush to attack the city and defeat Yuan Shu at this time. Why worry about losing the land?" Lu Bu made a conclusion on this matter and looked at the generals.

After the generals retreated, Li Ru said to Lu Bu: "My lord, now that our army has won a series of great victories, Yuan Shu's momentum has declined. Ru thought that he could contact Liu Biao, Cao Cao and other princes to attack Yuan Shu together. By then, Yuan Shu would be difficult to take care of. .”

Yuan Shu must give up one of Nanyang and Yuzhou. How will Yuan Shu choose then?

Lu Bu nodded. Until now, Yuan Shu's loss of troops and generals was secondary. What was important was that his reputation as the number one prince in the world was wiped out by Lu Bu's repeated cross shots. In terms of power, Yuan Shu was indeed still the number one prince. , However, once the prestige is gone, when everyone sees that Yuan Shu is nothing more than this, their mentality will change subtly.

For example, the princes such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Tao Qian, who had only verbally supported Lu Bu before, are likely to turn to actual actions. The number one prince in the world is likely to become fat in the eyes of others.

This is human nature, and it is also the general trend. A war changes everyone's original view of a prince. When this view almost becomes a consensus, the trend becomes.

Yuan Shu's position as the number one prince may not be preserved for long.

"Then, if Yuan Shu retreats, between him and Liu Biao..." Lu Bu looked at Li Ru. As soon as Yuan Shu retreated, then Nanyang would border Liu Biao, and the relationship with Liu Biao would become subtle.

"Lord, if our army wants to take over the Central Plains in the future, we must unite with Liu Biao and not make enemies!" Li Ru thought for a while and reminded.

If Lu Bu wants to attack the Central Plains, Nanyang is a very good springboard. As for Liu Biao, as the rear, if he has no choice but to swallow Jing Xiang in one go, the best way is to make friends rather than fight.

Lu Bu naturally understood this truth, but this was tantamount to leaving his rear in Liu Biao's hands.

As if seeing Lu Bu's doubts, Li Ru smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Liu Biao has just entered Jingxiang. Although he has the support of Jingxiang scholars, his foundation is not solid. He needs the support of the court. If my lord can release him at this time, Be kind to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao will definitely not engage in evil with the Lord, so there is no need for the Lord to worry about this."

"I hope so." Lu Bu nodded. Jingzhou's problems were no less than those in Nanyang. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. There were so many clans in Jingzhou. Without the deterrence and support of external forces, it would be good if Liu Biao could hold on to Jingzhou.

Next, the two began to discuss the specific governance strategy of Nanyang. Although Yuan Shu is still in Nanyang and has not been completely defeated, as Yin Feng said, after the battle spreads, the situation in the world will undergo subtle changes. At this time, between Nanyang and Yuzhou, Yuan Shu could only choose one!

The war has actually come to an end at this point. The next thing to consider is the issue of governing Nanyang. According to what everyone has discussed before, a large number of people must first be moved into Guanzhong, and then the clan traitors can be divided. These issues are The key is, as for Yuan Shu's problem, it is no longer the priority!
