New Story of Lv Bu

On June 25th, at this time, it was twenty miles outside Longqi City, the westernmost part of Jincheng County.

Longqi City, also known as "City of Dragons" and "Longyi City", was the prefecture of Xihai County during the Xinmang period. During the dynasty and the emperor's time, Longqi City was built here, and the western captain of Jincheng County stationed here. The captain was the county lieutenant, and the first emperor ruled the country. Each county had a county lieutenant, which was separated from the county guard and the county prime minister, and supervised each other, similar to the central prime minister, chief lieutenant, and official doctor.

During the pre-Han period, Emperor Jing changed the name of the county lieutenant to Duwei, with a rank of two thousand stones, and his duties remained unchanged. Later Han was because of it. Each county has one captain, and the big county or two people, in charge of east and west, or north and south within the territory. Although the area of ​​Jincheng County is not very wide, there are many Qiang tribes in its territory, so there are two captains in the east and the west.

Longqi City is only more than ten miles away from the West Sea. It is a flat city, standing on the vast plateau, looking extremely steep and abnormal from a distance. If Jincheng County is an isolated island surrounded by Qiang people, and it is always in stormy waves, then Longrui City is a broken ship sailing in the vast ocean, only a small Qiang king With a sneeze, it will immediately sink. Surprisingly, since the outbreak of the Qiang Rebellion, Long Ruicheng has been in the hands of the Han people, and has never been captured by the Qiang people. The imperial courts as far away as Luoyang and Chang'an have been puzzled, not understanding the key points.

Five or six miles east of Longrui City is a canyon named Mucheng Valley. This gorge is not deep, only five or six miles, but it is just a deep ditch in the plateau. But the strategic location of this deep ditch is extremely important. It is a shortcut from Jincheng County's Yunwu to Longqi City. If it takes a detour, it will take at least five or six hours.

More than ten miles outside Mucheng Valley, a cavalry of thousands was walking hurriedly. Each of this cavalry has two or three horses, all of which are tall and strong Xiliang horses and extremely fast Wuheng horses. The knights on the horse are well-armed and well-groomed, and look exceptionally handsome and upright under the banner of Lielie's recruitment. This cavalry was a subordinate of Lu An, the envoy of Xiqiang.

The one who rides the horse at the forefront is a scout of Zhao Yun, a total of 600 people, divided into three villages. At the beginning of the Battle of Qiang and Qiang, Zhao Yun went to the Tabai Army and became a dub. He has a high martial arts skill and made great achievements several times. Because of his merits, he was promoted from Dubo to Junhou. This time he was on a mission to Xiqiang, Lu An deliberately named him and asked him to supervise his subordinates as scouts.

Zhao Yun's people are from his old department. He was promoted from Dubo, and he was convinced by Zhao Yun. "Zhao Junhou's martial arts is strong and smart, he is a military prince, we are convinced!" There are many veterans in the Tabai army. They have always been arrogant and don't look at people with straight eyes, but once they are convinced. , Will definitely follow me to the death.

In this way, Zhao Yun's command was much smoother, as if he was a finger. He took the Tamasa out a hundred miles away, front and back, left and right, and the wind and grass within a hundred miles could not escape his eyes and ears. Behind Zhao Yun is a Kansai cavalry of Ma Chao with two thousand men. These cavalry are the elite of Ma's army, and there are many veterans after a hundred battles.

The Kansai cavalry did not use bows and arrows in battle. Each carried six short spears on their backs. When they encountered an enemy, they would throw them immediately. After three or four short spears were thrown, they would charge. The short spear is three feet long and is like a small javelin. The Kansai cavalry throws back on the horse, with great strength and urgency. It can break heavy armor within 300 steps, and everyone who blocks it is invincible. It is most effective before charging.

Behind Ma Chao's Kansai Cavalry was Lu An's Chinese Army. Lu An trained two thousand mysterious white robe with one hand, wearing a black armor, a white cloak on his back, and holding the latest style of Modao in his hand. Each has two Western Liang horses and two Wuheng horses. Xiliang horses are used to charge and fall into battle, and Wuheng horses are used to chase death to the north. These two thousand mysterious white robes are Lu An's private soldiers and his personal guards.

After the Chinese Army, there are eight hundred heavy soldiers, and these heavy soldiers are also selected from the best, selected from tens of thousands of heavy soldiers. All of them are tall and mighty veterans who have gone through several battles. Although they are only heavy soldiers, they fought no worse than the Kansai Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry. On this mission, Da Sima Lubu's only two sons came. Could Gao Shun be cautious?

The last to be broken was Lu Zheng's six hundred guards. Eighty percent of these six hundred guards were selected from the veterans of the war. They had been with Lu Zheng for several years. Tuqi is a private soldier of Lu Zheng and brought out by Lu Zheng’s mother-in-law, Princess Adele of Dongqiang. The only bloodline that protects Princess Adele is invaluable to these six hundred soldiers. glory.

The Hu people are sloppy in disposition, don't stick to the trivial, pay attention to big bowls of alcohol, eat large pieces of meat, not very particular about the formation and queue, and they just need to fight hard when they start a war. But the six hundred soldiers of Lu Zheng are not the case. These six hundred cavalry are the face of Princess Adele anyway, and they must be strong. Therefore, the army is neat and well-equipped, with three or four Wuhuan horses under the crotch, and a powerful crossbow of Mo Dao in his hands. There were more than a hundred large and large trucks accompanied by the army, which were tightly sheltered, and I didn't know what was inside.

Lu Zheng's coming out this time was nothing but a very interesting trip in his opinion. But the three chiefs under him were not. They tried to be safe in everything, never let the little lord have any accidents, and insisted on bringing all the things they thought must be carried. "I said the second son, what are you carrying? There are more than a hundred trucks?" Ma Chao asked in astonishment. "I don't know! They said they all must be brought." Lu Zheng blushed and shook his head.

"Zhao Junhou, there is an ambush in the Mucheng Valley!" Uncle Du, who was in charge of the northern sentry, arched his hands and said. "When I took my ten brothers through Mucheng Valley to Longqi City, I felt a murderous aura. No one came out to stop me at the time, and rushed to Longqi City. I didn't care. When I came back, I was careful. Looking at it, there are no birds flying out from the tops of the mountains on both sides. There must be ambushes. It looks like it can cover the tops of the mountains on the left and right, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people, or even more."

"You did a great job!" Zhao Yun nodded with a smile. "Send the order! Stop forward! Send out the horses to search carefully nearby. The focus is on the mountain tops of Mucheng Valley! Pay attention to safety. We must not fight to death. We are just scouts." "No!" The two Dubos promised and brought the troops Go down. After the last battle of "Flying Birds Breaking the Enemy", Zhao Yun's men paid great attention to Flying Birds.

In a short while, Ma Chao, Lu An, and Lu Zheng rushed over. After listening to the report from Dublin, who was in charge of the sentry, Lu An waved his hand and said lightly. "Zilong, don't have to be so troublesome. We will stop moving now and put on a posture of camping and camping. I don't believe they won't take the bait!" "This is very good! The Qiang people have a violent temperament, and they will definitely be uncontrollable and come out with us. Fight together!" Ma Chao said with a smile. Along the way, he has become very familiar with Lu An, Lu Zheng, and Zhao Yun.

"This is a good way! We deliberately pretended not to know that there are ambushes, to see if they come or not, we will attack at dawn!" Zhao Yun also agreed. As a result, the three brave teenagers made a plan to lure the enemy. Perhaps the thief God blessed the three of them in the dark, this decision turned out to be on the right side, causing the three to stun their tongues afterwards.

Now that the Lord General has spoken, the eight hundred soldiers immediately became busy. Lu Buxiong has been in the combined state for 14 years. After a hundred battles, the method of camping the combined state army has been quite structured. They first used white ash to enclose a large area on the open area, which marked the size of the military barracks, stables, and medical facilities. Then he rolled his arms and sleeves and started to work, digging the soil, cutting the trees and cutting the trees. After half an hour, a concrete and small military camp has emerged.

"Lord, there is a young military officer in Longqi city with eight hundred county soldiers garrisoned. It turned out that there was an old military officer who persisted in Longqi city for ten years, and he was tightly guarded. Longqi city has never been garrisoned. The Qiang people have breached. A year ago, the old Junhou died of illness, and the young Junhou came to the fore and blocked the Qiang's six onslaughts one after another, which convinced his subordinates."

On the open space of the barracks, Lu An and the four quietly listened to the report of the scout. "Did the messengers of King Shao Dang Qiang arrive at Longqi City?" Lu An asked in a deep voice. "I checked the whole city carefully, and I also asked the young military prince solemnly, that no messenger of the King of Qiang had ever come. The young military prince also said that the Qiang people are cunning, and that the King of Qiang is an old fox. , Unbelievable, scheming, maybe he set up a trap to deliberately lure the old man into the bait."

Upon hearing this, the four of them were shocked. If it weren't for the burning of the Qiang King who insisted on meeting the Western Qiang kings in Longqi City, how could Lu An travel thousands of miles to come here? Now that the envoys of the West Qiang have been recruited, the king of Shao Dang has avoided seeing him, and even no envoy has been sent. If you think about the ambush soldiers found in the Mucheng Valley just now, all four of them will understand.

"Leave a warning, everyone will go to build a barracks! The stronger the construction, the better! Go! Go!" Lu An jumped up and shouted loudly. The eldest son pays attention to the cultivation of the mind on weekdays, and Taishan collapses without changing his color. He has never been so gloomy. Upon seeing this posture, everyone immediately understood that it had reached the point where life and death mattered. "Nuo!" Everyone took their orders and left.

"Meng Qi, how far are Ma Dai's 30,000 Guanxi soldiers from us?" Lu An took a breath and asked Ma Chao in a low voice. Ma Chao took out the map from his arms and looked at it carefully before answering. "For one hundred and twenty miles, 60% of his troops are Qingqi, and the pawns also have vehicles to ride. I will be able to arrive in three hours. I will send the eagle letter."
