Chapter [129] Lu Bu's Calculation
Lu Bu looked at the person in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and then he quickly retracted it.
"Are you Zhang Yang's general?" Lu Bu asked knowingly.
"Back to the general, the last general, Yang Chou, is under Zhang Bingzhou's command." Yang Chou knelt on the ground and replied.
"What's the situation in Hanoi County now?" Lu Bu asked.
"General, Yuan Shao's troops are fierce and have already surrounded Huai County, and the situation is extremely critical." Yang Chou said excitedly: "Zhang Bingzhou sent a general to ask for help, and the general begged the general to go to Huai County to relieve the siege.
Yang Chou spoke impassionedly, as if Huai County was really in a hurry, if Lu Bu hadn't learned the news in advance, maybe he would have been deceived by the other party.
Zhang Liaodu sent a message that Huai County had fallen, Yuan Shao occupied Hanoi County, and Zhang Yang was stabbed in the back by his subordinate Er Wu Zai.
Now Yang Chou said that Huai County was still insisting and that Zhang Yang was besieged in the city. This was obviously trying to trick him into crossing the river.
Things did develop according to the direction Lu Bu guessed, and now the problem came to Lu Bu again.
Are you going to cross the river?
Crossing the river, you can cross the river smoothly, but you have to face Yuan Shao's 60,000 troops.
Do not cross the river, and Bingzhou is occupied by Yuan Shao from then on, Lu Bu413 will lose the best pasture, and will not be able to regain it for a long time.
"I know the situation, but only a small number of troops have arrived so far. I still need to wait for a large army to arrive before I can cross the river to rescue Huai County." Lu Bu first found an excuse.
Yang Chouyan's heart trembled when he heard the news. He didn't expect that Lu Bu would have a follow-up army, and the strength was not limited to this.
"General, I'm afraid that Zhang Bingzhou won't be able to hold on for too long!" Yang Chou continued, "After the last general broke through from the city, Huai County is already on the verge of collapse, and Yuan Shao may break through at any time."
Yang Chou's idea is to trick Lu Bu into crossing the river as soon as possible, so as not to let Lu Bu join the follow-up troops.
"That's it." Lu Bu showed hesitation, and said after a while, "Then we won't wait for the follow-up troops, but the luggage needs to be transported across the other side first."
Yang Chou said that he was overjoyed that the grain and grass would be transported first, there would be no hidden dangers, and Yuan Shaoping could get some grain and grass for nothing.
"What the general said is very true, then first transport the grain and grass, and then you lead the army to cross the river." Yang Chou quickly agreed with Lu Bu's plan.
"Then you go back to the north bank now, find a chance to tell Zhang Yang, let him persist for another day, and I can cross the river to save him." Lu Bu ordered.
"The final general will obey, and he will bring the news to Master Zhou." Yang Kai agreed without hesitation.
On the surface, Lu Bu asked Yang Chou to tell Yuan Shao, but in fact he wanted to tell Yuan Shao.
"I'm going to have people transport grain and grass across the river now. You are familiar with the north bank. Find a hidden place and arrange the grain and grass first. You will be in charge of this matter." Lu Bu said again.
"No." Yang Chou suppressed the excitement in his heart, and forced himself to agree calmly.
"Go." Lu Bu waved Yang Chou to report.
After Yang Chou saluted respectfully, he returned to the north bank again, and Lu Bu also ordered people to start crossing grain and grass to the north bank.
Lu Bu was not worried about the food and grass, Yuan Shao would not act rashly if he wanted to catch a big fish like himself, as long as he could not cross the river.
For some insignificant food and grass, if Lu Bu finds out that it is tricky, it is definitely not worth it for Yuan Shao.
So as long as Lu Bu is still on the south bank, then those who transport grain to the north bank are absolutely safe.
After Yang Chou left, Lu Bu called the messenger sent by Zhang Liao.
"Cross the river and return to the north bank immediately. Don't be discovered by Yuan Shao's people. Go to Shangdang County to find Zhang Liao and let him start going south, but remember to hide his whereabouts." Chuanbu urged.
All Lu Bu wants to let the food and grass cross the river first is to delay the day.
For one day, Zhang Liao of Shangdang County and his 5,000 cavalry could go south to resist the bank of the Yellow River.
After Lu Bu crossed the river with his army, he fought with his back to resist Yuan Shao's encirclement and suppression.
Then Zhang Liao (aeda) led five thousand cavalry and suddenly rushed out from behind Yuan Shao, and it was possible for Lu Bu to defeat Yuan Shao.
Otherwise, relying on Lu Bu's 15,000 people alone, it would be very difficult to fight Yuan Shao's 60,000 people head-on.
It is necessary to play some tactics, one in front of Zhang Liao and one behind, flanking Yuan Shao's army.
"Has our farmer who transported food gone far?" Lu Bu asked, looking at the soldiers.
"Back to the general, I just left yesterday, so I must not have gone far." The soldier replied.
"Go and call back all the peasants." Lu Bu ordered.
Soldiers and horses go ahead without moving food and grass.
Although Lu Bu only dispatched 15,000 troops, the number of civilians who delivered food and grass to the army was quite a lot.
Originally, after these peasant husbands transported the grain and grass to Luoyang, they could return to Guanzhong, and the war had nothing to do with them.
However, Lu Bu had another idea, and he thought about calling all the civilian husbands back, maybe it would be able to surprise everyone.
Yang Chou excitedly returned to the north bank, and returned to Bu County to meet Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Gong, the last general has met Lu Bu." Yang Chou was elated.
"How to say?" Yuan Shao asked hastily: "Then Lu can't be fooled?"
"Go ahead." Yang Chou began to claim credit, "Lu Bu originally said that he would wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before crossing the river together."
"However, the general said that the situation on the north bank was extremely urgent. Lu Bu hesitated again and again, but was persuaded by the general. He did not wait for the follow-up troops, but after the food and grass had been transported to the north bank, Lu Bu took the lead in crossing the river to rescue."
"The general found a place on the north bank and let Lu Bu's people start delivering food and grass. Do you want to go there and kill these people?"
"No need!" Yuan Shao said without hesitation: "Lu Bu has never crossed the river, so what's the use of grabbing some food and grass? We have to wait for Lu Bu, a big fish, to cross the river, so don't startle the snake."
"I didn't expect Lu Bu to have a follow-up force." Xu You interjected, "I'm just saying, why did Lu Bu lead more than 10,000 people, so this is the vanguard force."
"You did a good job this time." Yuan Shao looked at Yang Chou and praised him, "If everything goes well this time, and you can solve Lu Bu smoothly, there will be a lot of rewards!"
"The final general thanked Yuan Gong for his kindness. Yang Chou smiled happily.
Sui Gu on the side showed envy. He didn't expect that Yang Chou would be able to make meritorious service by crossing the river. If he had known, he would not have given up to Yang Tian.
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Qu Yi, Chun Yuqiong."
Yuan Shao got up and began to count the generals, and when the six generals were counted, they all stood up with fists in their hands.
"I don't need to repeat Lu Bu's bravery, you have heard of it more or less."
"The 60,000 troops under my command are all entrusted to the six generals. I hope you will not let me down."
"After Lu Bu crosses the river, it will be the time when the six generals will become famous. Kill Lu Bu and shake the world. It will be tomorrow!"
"The general obeys orders!!!"
A general is not as good as a strong general, Yuan Shao said, although there is no obvious strong general, but he also inspired the arrogance of the six generals, and he will kill Lu Bu tomorrow to repay Yuan Shao's trust. .
