Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Liu Yan is dead? Lu Bu looked at the message sent back from Shu. This was an urgent and secret message sent back from Xizuo, and there was no mistake.

Xun You raised his head and looked at Lu Bu, and Jia Xu also looked at Lu Bu.

Notify Xu Rong to assemble troops and horses immediately, meet at Chencang, and order Zhang Ji to assemble the troops and horses that can be gathered, and seize Xiegu for me at all costs! Lu Bu stood up and shouted to the guards outside the door.

This is a God-given opportunity. Although Lu Bu prefers to take the Central Plains first and then Shu, if there is a God-given opportunity that allows him to eat Bashu in one bite, Lu Bu will naturally not and cannot give up this opportunity.

Here! The personal guard quickly received the order, turned around and arranged for the troops to deliver the order.

Lord, before sending troops, it's best to send some people into Shu to inquire about the situation. Jia Xu reminded.

After all, the news in Shu is blocked, and the roads in Shu are difficult to travel. No matter how fast it is, it will take half a month for the news to reach here from Shu. If there is rain, snow, and slippery roads, it is common for a month to pass.

It is not that there are no capable people in Shu. After such a long time, even if it was indeed a good opportunity at the time, it is enough for these people to consider Lu Bu's reaction and start to make plans.

Lu Bu nodded, of course he knew this, but he still gave it a try first. As long as he held the entire Xiegu in his hands, he could at least march towards Hanzhong.

Wen He, could you please go with Xu Rong and act accordingly. Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said.

This...takes the order! Jia Xu hesitated. If he really succeeded, he would have to go to Sichuan. How long would it take to fight? But now that Lu Bu has spoken, he can't refuse. This time Lu Bu is not negotiating. If he doesn't go, Lu Bu will have to go. Then Xu Rong will appear redundant. Lu Bu and Xu Rong, two people who can command an army, must leave one. Sitting in Chang'an, Lu Bu could not go out in person for every battle. Competing with generals for credit was not a good sign, and Lu Bu was obviously aware of this.

Finally I agreed. After all, Lu Bu's tone this time was different from before, and if he could successfully enter Sichuan this time, he would indeed need a counselor. Guo Jia was originally the most suitable, but now that Guo Jia is not here, Jia Xu can only take over. .

If I had known this, I would have planned for Chen Gong to stay, at least to be able to support him for a while, but then again, if Chen Gong didn't go... would Liu Yan die?

Jia Xu was a little unsure whether Chen Gong had a causal relationship with this matter. If he said yes... it would not make sense. If he said no, Liu Yan died as soon as he left. Previously, news came back that Zhang Miao was gone, too. A bit evil.

He glanced at Xun You subconsciously, and Xun You calmly raised the account book.

you are vicious!

In fact, Xun You would not be too relieved to go to Lu Bu, so in the end he had no choice but to go to Jia Xu.

Dian Wei! Lu Bu shouted to Dian Wei, who was looking outside the door.

The general is here! Dian Wei came in excitedly and saluted Lu Bu.

You follow Wen He and do whatever Wen He says, do you understand? Lu Bu looked at Dian Wei and said.

Listen to him? Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu uncertainly, did he understand? He remembered that Lu Bu once asked him to follow someone so that he could kill him at any time. Although he was familiar with Jia Wenhe, he was a little reluctant to do so, but now that he was asked to listen to Jia Xu, Dian Wei felt a little awkward and could not use his strengths. .

Of course, protect me well. If Wen He makes a mistake, I will hold you accountable! Lu Bu glared at him and said.

Here! Dian Wei sighed, feeling a little regretful.

Jia Xu:……

What are you regretting?

Wen He, take care of yourself. If something cannot be done, there is no need to force him. We can take whatever we can from Shu. If we can't take it, then we won't take it for the time being. Lu Bu told Jia Xu.

His desire for territory is not too high now. Guanzhong has just experienced a severe drought and the disaster relief has ended, but Lu Bu's vitality has also been injured. If Shu is easy to win, then take it. If you want to attack by force, forget it. , Lu Bu doesn't have much demand for territory expansion now. What he wants more now is talents, population and property.

Don't worry, my lord, Xu understands. Jia Xu nodded with a smile. As an old fox who is good at scheming people, he could naturally feel that Lu Bu was worried about his safety from the bottom of his heart. He was somewhat moved in his heart. However, Lu Bu was so worried about his safety. The words were somewhat overly worrying.

Without further ado, after Jia Xu simply tidied up, he took Dian Wei and joined Xu Rong on the road. This time Jia Xu went as the military advisor of Xu Rong's army.

On the other side, Zhang Ji, who was stationed in Huaili, immediately sent troops to Xiegu after receiving Lu Bu's order. Unfortunately, Zhao Wei, after being reminded by Chen Gong, had arranged for Zhang Xiu to guard here and block Xiegu and Yangping Pass. Ji attacked fiercely for several days until Xu Rong arrived. He lost many men but was unable to do anything to defeat the enemy.

Bosheng, we are not at a disadvantage in fighting. Many of the sloping valley roads are plank roads. The opponent occupies a favorable terrain. If our soldiers attack by force, it will be as if they are going to die one by one. Zhang Ji met Xu Rong and vomited bitterness to Xu Rong. Before, I have only heard that the road to Shu is difficult, but now I have truly seen it.

What is a plank road? The slope of the cliff is covered with wooden planks, and it is only wide enough for a horse to pass. It is not easy to miss for everyone. If you come on horseback, there may be a traffic jam, and the currently known road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong is , that's it. The Shu army over there only needs a team of men and horses to occupy the favorable terrain. If the bows and arrows are enough, Zhang Ji's 100,000 people can charge forward and add more to his army.

But I don't know what the specific situation is in Shu. Xu Rong nodded. Before he met Zhang Ji, he had already seen the terrain in person. The plank road was good for people, but if there was a war, whoever attacked would suffer. It would be easier to defend than to attack. It's the same on either side. If the Shu army wants to come out now, they will block the entrance of the plank road, and the other side will also be blocked.

It is difficult to enter and exit Shu.

Anmin has been operating here for a long time. Do you know that there are other ways to Hanzhong? Xu Rong asked.

If we can take a detour to Longxi, we can attack Hanzhong from Xi County by taking the West Han River and crossing the Qi Mountain. That road is relatively smooth. However, this way, we have to walk an extra 800 miles. If the soldiers and horses there want to make a surprise attack, I'm afraid Not enough! Zhang Ji asked someone to find a map and showed it to Xu Rong. If you want to go to Qishan, you have to go to Longguan first, then detour to the Western Han River to Qishan and then go south, all the way to the Western Han River, along the Western Han River You can enter Hanzhong by walking straight down the water, but although the roads along the way are not like Xiegu, they are still full of dangers, including Dingjun Mountain, Tiandang Mountain, and Yangpingguan.

What do you think, sir? Xu Rong frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Jia Xu. As Lu Bu's military advisor, Xu Rong showed enough respect for Jia Xu.

The general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He decides how to defeat the general. Jia Xu shook his head. He had no objection. He couldn't see anything yet.

In that case... Xu Rong nodded, understanding what Jia Xu meant, and immediately looked at Zhang Xiu and said: Anmin, you continue to stay here to confront the enemy, and at the same time see if there are other roads that can pass, I will take a detour Take Qishan, no matter which way you go, you can go straight to Hanzhong!

Here! Zhang Ji nodded and agreed upon hearing this.

After spending a night repairing in Chencang, in order to reduce the consumption of grain roads, Xu Rong and Jia Xu took 10,000 soldiers and horses to bypass Longguan, and then went from Longguan to Xi County. However, they were blocked by the Shu army at the foot of Qi Mountain. Qi Mountain is At the throat of Shu, the opponent was well prepared and occupied a strategic position, making it difficult for Xu Rong to break through.

On that day, Xu Rong could only withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

I didn't expect the Shu army to be so well prepared. Xu Rong withdrew his troops back to the camp, got together with Jia Xu, pointed at the map, and after thinking for a while, Xu Rong added a few more strokes and said: This Qishan Mountain starts from Beipiao in the west and ends in the east. Arriving at Lu City, the mountains are showing off, Luo Feng is standing firm, controlling the offensive and defensive key points, and the opponent has all the advantages. It is extremely difficult to break through the Qishan camp.

Jia Xu nodded silently. He had also looked at the terrain today. It would not be easy to attack it. No matter whether he could capture Hanzhong or not, it was best to control Qishan Mountain in his own hands first. Otherwise, if he could not attack this time, he would have to fight with the Shu army in the future. In battle, whoever controls Qishan will have the advantage.

Sir, do you have any clever ideas? Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu expectantly.

Jia Xu shook his head: In this kind of offensive battle, we don't even know who the enemy generals are. Looking at the defense of the city today, it is quite satisfactory and not too strong. However, it occupies the key terrain. It is extremely difficult for us to attack this place. I think To break through, one must send someone to persuade the other side’s general to surrender.”

Dian Wei, who was standing aside, rolled his eyes. Can this be called a breakthrough?

Jia Xu ignored him and continued: Both of them, if we can find a trail and send a team of elites to bypass the enemy's rear, our army will attract the enemy's attention in the front and break through the barriers with elites, we should be able to defeat the Qishan camp.

Xu Rong nodded. His idea was Jia Xu's second point. After all, the mountains were so continuous that a large army could not escape, but if an army was sent over, the enemy could be defeated.

In this case, I will arrange more scouts to explore the road! Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile. This military advisor is not bad. He usually doesn't talk much. Whenever he asks for advice, although he doesn't say much, he can always get to the point. , is a man of real ability, and he becomes more respectful to Jia Xu.

After waiting like this for three days, a scout finally found a mountain man in the mountain who could lead everyone to the back of the Qishan camp on a trail.

It's just that this road is difficult to walk, and it's eighty miles away. The soldiers must travel lightly and can only carry three days of food. Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu and compared the map drawn by the mountain people's description: But the map may not be accurate.

Marching in the mountains is not as good as on flat ground. You may not be able to walk out of the eighty-mile mountain road in three days, and the map may not be accurate, and it is easy to go wrong.

If you want to defeat the enemy, this is the only way to go. Jia Xu nodded. Now a strong attack is a court of death. The enemy has taken advantage of all the terrain, and no clever tricks will work.

You can give it a try. Xu Rong took a deep breath and said, Who can lead the army?

The two of them paused and looked at Dian Wei at the same time.

What are you looking at me doing? Dian Wei asked blankly.
