Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 953: Zhuge Liang's Plan to Capture Wen County (Part 2)

When Xu Huang arrived at Wenxian County, it was already twilight. Seeing that the flags of the Bingzhou Army were still on top of the city, Xu Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also did not expect that the Bingzhou Army would be defeated by Liu Bei one after another.

He suffered two losses, and the soldiers under his command also suffered many losses in this confrontation. As long as Wen County is still there, he has the foundation to compete with Liu Bei.

After taking a look at the soldiers in the army, Xu Huang felt a little guilty and rode forward: "Where is Li Fu? Please open the city gate quickly."

However, no one responded to Xu Huang's words, and the city gate slowly opened.

Suddenly, Xu Huang realized that something was wrong. Based on his understanding of Li Fu, he would definitely wait for the army to return on the top of the city. If Li Fu didn't show up at this time, it meant that there was something wrong with Wen County.

At this moment, Xu Huang noticed the faint blood stains on the city gate and shouted: "You are not allowed to enter the city!"

Zhang Fei appeared on the city and laughed and said: "Wen County has been occupied by our army, why don't Xu Huang get off his horse quickly?"

After saying this, the flag on the city was replaced by the flag of Liu Bei's army.

Although Xu Huang didn't understand why Liu Bei's army appeared, he knew that he couldn't delay in Wen County.

"Zhang Fei, I will kill you one day." Xu Huang led his soldiers towards Huguan.

After these two incidents, Zhang Fei admired Zhuge Liang even more. He was able to cause the elite Bingzhou Army to suffer heavy losses twice in a row. Zhuge Liang's strategy played a key role in it.

Let's say that Xu Huang met Li Fu not far from Wen County. The two men joined forces. The original army of three thousand elite soldiers lost nearly a thousand people, and their morale was also somewhat low.

After Xu Huang listened to Li Fu's account, he did not blame Li Fu, but took the responsibility for this time. If he had been more cautious, the Bingzhou army would not have suffered such heavy losses. After this battle

Later, Xu Huang realized the power of the coalition of princes.

The Jingzhou army was not too strong in the eyes of the princes, and Liu Bei was even more defeated by Cao Cao. However, Liu Bei captured Wen County with a weak force, causing the Bingzhou army to suffer a big loss.

After Liu Bei led his army into the city, he also felt an unusual atmosphere, especially those smooth cement roads, which greatly stimulated him, and there was also such a road outside Wen County.

"Lord, this is the cement road created by the Marquis of Jin. This kind of road is very common in Bingzhou." Zhuge Liang sounded a little worried. Although he won two games in a row, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. However, this time

The allied forces of the princes attacked Bingzhou, but it was very difficult. From the previous battles, it can be seen that Xu Huang was very resourceful. From setting up an ambush in Qingfengling Ridge to raiding the camp, no matter which one was successful, it was a success for the vanguard army.

A disaster.

"Why does Kong Ming need to have other people's ambitions? Although the Bingzhou Army is elite, it didn't flee in embarrassment under Kong Ming's wisdom." Liu Bei said with a smile. Liu Bei was encouraged by being able to capture Wen County, because the Bingzhou Army has always shown itself to be tyrannical in front of the princes.

.

Zhuge Liang looked in the direction of Bingzhou, but his eyes became more determined. From now on, he would use his talents to compete with the princes. What he was sure of was that Lu Bu already knew that he had taken refuge under Liu Bei's account.

Thinking of Lu Bu's two recruitments, Zhuge Liang felt a little complicated. To be fair, Lu Bu's sincerity was enough. The most important thing was that Lu Bu's identity was much more respected than Liu Bei's. At this time, the only thing Liu Bei could use

They are just members of the Han clan.

It was not because Zhuge Liang was unwilling to join Lü Bu. The first was because Lü Bu had so many talents under his command. Whether it was Jia Xu or Guo Jia, they were not inferior to anyone in terms of resourcefulness. The second was that Lü Bu's philosophy of governing the place had too many conflicts with the aristocratic family.

Otherwise, the princes would not be able to unite easily this time.

The strength of the aristocratic family cannot be underestimated. Once they become hostile to Bingzhou, even the princes from various places will have to think more carefully.

"My lord, the Marquis of Jin has many talents. Although our army has won two small victories, we must not take it lightly." Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Kong Ming's words are true." Liu Bei nodded.

The prosperity of Wen County indeed exceeded Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's expectations. Some clues can be seen from the houses in the city. Liu Bei had always heard rumors about how prosperous Bingzhou was before, and he didn't believe it because Bingzhou was in people's perception.

It is a barren land. Even if Lu Bu has great ability, it is impossible for Bingzhou to prosper in a short time. However, after seeing everything in Wen County, Liu Bei quietly put away such thoughts.

It was late at night, but Zhuge Liang could not sleep. If he opposed Bingzhou at this time, he would have to bear a huge price if he failed. Although the current situation was very favorable to the princes, Zhuge Liang thought that Lu Bu was not as simple as he seemed.

.

In the eyes of the princes and scholars, Lu Bu is a warrior. However, a warrior can stand among the princes and achieve what he has achieved today. The hardships involved are not known to everyone. It can be said that the price Lu Bu paid is several times that of other princes, and

This caused other princes to be wary and had to join forces to deal with Bingzhou.

For example, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, had disciples and old officials all over the world. Yuan Shao was much higher than Lu Bu at the starting point. However, when the Jizhou army faced the Bingzhou army, it was repeatedly defeated and even had to cede Youzhou to

Lu Bu calmed down the anger of Bingzhou's army. If the princes join forces and fail to defeat Bingzhou this time, Jizhou will be the first to be unlucky.

What Zhuge Liang didn't understand was that there were so many talented people in Jizhou, why he would give the Bingzhou Army a chance to wipe out Chang'an. Once Lu Bu occupied Chang'an, he would be even more terrifying. There were strange dangers around Chang'an that could be defended, which could greatly divide the attention of the princes, such as

This time when the princes jointly attacked Bingzhou, Chang'an had to be taken into consideration. Otherwise, once Bingzhou was defeated by the princes, Lu Bu would still be able to enter Chang'an to take refuge.

"Marquis of Jin, Marquis of Jin, I want to see how capable you are." Zhuge Liang murmured.

After occupying Wen County, Liu Bei's mood could not be calm. Especially after walking around Wen County carefully, his mood became more obvious. From the eyes of the people, he saw doubt and confusion.

After entering the city, Liu Bei immediately announced a plan to pacify the people. The aristocratic families in the city expressed their willingness to seek refuge. However, in their words, they unceremoniously proposed to restore their previous assets in Hanoi. Liu Bei also readily agreed. Liu Bei governed the place.

The idea is to be closely united with the family.

Liu Bei did not refuse the request of the aristocratic family. In his opinion, the aristocratic family lost everything due to the actions of the Bingzhou Army in Hanoi, so it would be a good idea to return everything to the aristocratic family.
