Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

The war horses were driven back one by one by the soldiers from Xingyang. The harness of these war horses had marks to compare with the identity of their owners. The soldiers looked around for usable crossbow arrows. The advantages and disadvantages of the continuous crossbow were as obvious as those of the crossbow. If one could make hundreds of them a day, Ten thousand would be fine, but in fact, the Shenji Battalion went all out to build it, and there were only two thousand crossbow arrows a day.

The average speed is probably more than a thousand, which is about 400,000 a year. Lu Bu estimated that Chang'an's current crossbow arrow reserves are only three million at most.

After this battle, Lu Bu had made up his mind to study with Ma Jun and others whether they could produce crossbow arrows faster and improve the crossbow machine.

"My lord, we fought last night and injured several soldiers." Ma Chao said to Lu Bu with some regret after he came back from counting the battle damage.

No matter how strong the Flying Cavalry Battalion is, they are still mortal. In the close combat last night, although no one was killed, many were injured.

"Send someone to Hulao Pass to escort a batch of medicinal materials and medical craftsmen. In addition, we need to add a batch of crossbows and arrows and baggage. It is very important. Chief Wen leads the army to travel around. You are responsible for supervising the transportation of the baggage and food, and there must be no mistakes. !" Lu Bu gave Ma Chao and Wei Yan a command arrow each.

Letting the Flying Cavalry Army escort food and supplies is overqualified, but there is no way. Although the Flying Cavalry Army is elite, it relies heavily on logistics. The Flying Cavalry Army without logistics is still elite, but it will never be as easy as before. An army of 20,000 people was completely eaten.

After Gao Shun's trapped camp came over, Lu Bu considered taking Ao Cang together.

By that time, Xu Rong was in charge of Hanoi and Bingzhou, while Lu Bu was fighting Yuan Shao's main force here.

"Here!" The two men quickly bowed and took the command arrows, then took their orders and left.

On the other side, after Wen Chou was rescued by Guan Yu, the two went straight to Zhongmou, where Yuan Shao's main army was. On the way, the two met Liu Bei. Wen Chou now knew why Liu Bei was defeated. Seeing Liu Bei's embarrassment He didn't mock him. After all, he had the advantage of the city. Why didn't he be chased back like a rabbit by Lu Bu? How can you make fun of others?

The two sides briefly explained the situation to each other, and Liu Bei said with some worry: "If Xingyang is lost, Lu Bu will be connected with Hulao, and General Junyi will be in danger!"

At the beginning, Yuan Shao used two generals, Zhang He and Wen Chou, to lead troops to defend Xingyang and Aocang respectively, in order to prevent Xu Rong from sending troops rashly and to contain the opponent's forces here. Now that Xingyang has been captured by Lu Bu, Zhang He is surrounded. That one, if Lu Bu attacks Aocang again like he attacked Wen Chou, Aocang will probably be defeated.

Wen Chou nodded: "I have ordered someone to inform Jun Yi to be careful of Lu Bu. Duke Xuande does not need to worry."

The two sides then joined forces and rushed all the way to Zhongmou.

Yuan Shao was greatly surprised when he heard that Liu Bei and Wen Chou had arrived, and he quickly summoned them to the tent.

"What happened after I heard that you two were defeated by Lu Bu one after another?" Yuan Shao looked at the two of them and asked with a frown.

"Forgive me, Mr. Yuan." Liu Bei sighed and recounted the process from his encounter with Lu Bu to his defeat. Following that, Wen Chou also recounted the story.

"My lord, if I am not willing to sacrifice my life, then the soldiers and horses led by Lu Bu are far superior to ordinary soldiers in terms of weapons and armor. It is impossible for our soldiers to resist the enemy." Wen Chou said the end with a look of decadence.

In the past few years, Wen Chou had been practicing martial arts hard and wanted to avenge Yan Liang. Now he finally encountered the troops led by Lu Bu, but he was beaten to the point where he abandoned his armor and abandoned the city without even seeing Lu Bu. This is really true. It's a bit embarrassing and even more frustrating.

"Is it really Lu Bu?" Yuan Shao frowned and looked at the two of them and asked.

If Liu Bei said this, Yuan Shao would definitely not believe it and would just think that Liu Bei was shirking responsibility. But now that even his confidant general Wen Chou said this, Yuan Shao could not help but not believe it.

"I only saw the banner, but even in Guanzhong, no one except Lu Bu can control such an elite division." Liu Bei bowed to Yuan Shao and said.

Wen Chou on the side also nodded. This elite was different from the elites they imagined. Now that they think about it, they can't help but feel cold in their hearts.

Yuan Shao said coldly: "In the past, a reckless man was hiding in the pass for several years, but it has become a climate. In this battle, he will be killed. Xuande, you can enter the camp for the time being and reorganize it. Since Lu Bu is here this time, I We will gather heavy troops and strangle him."

Liu Bei nodded. Now that his army has been crippled, he cannot lead the army alone. Yuan Shao cannot give his troops to him. It is better to stay in Yuan Shao's camp and see how the battle goes. Plan early.

Next, Lu Bu did not continue to attack Aocang as Yuan Shao thought, but just defended Xingyang, as if he was waiting for something.

After Zhang He got the news, he noticed that Hulao Pass was transporting supplies to Xingyang. He led his troops to rob them, but was almost completely wiped out by two battalions of flying cavalry led by Wei Yan and Ma Chao.

He brought three thousand soldiers and horses with him when he left the city, but in the end he followed Zhang He back with only a dozen cavalry. This time, Zhang He truly understood what Wen Chou said about how a strong army can use force.

After several times of transporting baggage at Hulao Pass, Wei Yan almost went to Aocang City to guard Zhang He and provoked him. Zhang He did not dare to leave the city rashly and could only watch a large amount of baggage being sent to Xingyang under the escort of Ma Chao.

"Tell your general, don't be too arrogant in the future. He can cut off anyone's future in this world." Before Wei Yan left, he pointed at the city head and shouted arrogantly.

Zhang He looked a little ugly. He really wanted to go down and kill this brat in person. Today's young people are becoming more and more unruly. They don't understand any rules at all, which is shameful.

But in the end, Zhang He endured it. Don't worry about the lack of people on the other side. If you really want to leave the city, you will be the one who suffers. There is no need to vent your anger on a brat.

Hey~

Seeing that Zhang He was able to hold back and not be provoked, Wei Yan felt a little regretful. He chuckled and walked away with his troops. Ma Chao had sent back enough supplies. As for his lord's next plan to fight, Wei Yan was also very curious. .

When Wei Yan returned to Xingyang, he found that there were more people and horses in Xingyang. Gao Shun had already led his army to Xingyang and hurriedly came to visit him. Not only Gao Shun but also Li Ru came with him.

"General, over there in Nanyang..." Wei Yan was a little worried about the situation in Nanyang. Gao Shun took away most of the Nanyang army on this trip, and even the most elite trapping camp followed. If Liu Biao or Sun Ce attacks at this time, what will happen? But just...

"There is no need to worry, Mr. Wen. The news from Jiangdong has come. It has been confirmed that the person Cao Xing shot that day was Sun Ce. Now that Sun Ce is dead, there will be endless quarrels about who will be the leader in Jiangdong. The Lord has ordered people to go to Chang'an before leaving. I'm afraid the imperial edict conferring Yuan Shu concurrently as Yangzhou Shepherd will be issued soon, and Jiangdong will be very lively by then."

Not only will Yuan Shu covet Jiangdong, but Liu Biao will probably not be content with Jiangxia being occupied by Jiangdong. Of course, if Jiangdong can introduce a new successor as soon as possible and contact other forces to contain Yuan Shu, that will be another story. After all, Cao Cao now has many reasons. Taking action against Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu's edict cannot be said to be the root cause of cholera, but it is enough to make the entire Jiangdong and even the Jianghuai princes no longer want to go against Lu Bu, allowing him to focus more on Yuan Shao.

"My lord is wise!" Wei Yan saluted Lu Bu.

In this way, Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Yuan Shu, and even Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be involved in Jiangdong's affairs. This alliance of princes is indeed as unstable as the original Six Kingdoms Alliance and can be broken at a glance.

After answering Wei Yan's doubts, Li Ru looked at Lu Bu and said, "Master, since we are here, we should directly take Yuan Shao as the best strategy."

Since Lu Bu is not ready to attack the Central Plains in this battle, it is useless to continue to spend time here. It is better to end this battle early and fight Yuan Shao back, so that they can continue to return to Guanzhong to develop.

In fact, Li Ru would not have suggested this in the past. After all, there is no reason to be slow in winning the world. But as this battle unfolded, Li Ru suddenly discovered that Lu Bu had gradually gained strength over the years. The strength of the princes in the world, whether in armaments or equipment.

The reason why he didn't wipe out the world was not because he couldn't, but because Lu Bu was waiting until he had enough talents to rule the world before solving the problem.

Now look back at Lu Bu's actions over the years, including building industry, promoting agriculture, establishing academies, promoting folk literacy, trading in the Western Regions, etc. Looking back now, each of them has far-reaching significance. He is gradually making progress with his own efforts. It is really incredible to change this era and actually have success!

Li Ru, who saw this clearly, agreed more and more with Lu Bu's decision.

Of course, although these things Lu Bu did are long-term, there is also a drawback. Lu Bu's will must always be implemented. In other words, Lu Bu had better live longer, otherwise Lu Bu's successor may not be able to continue to implement Lu Bu's will a hundred years later. , this is the most important thing.

Lu Bu nodded. This was exactly what he meant by stationing troops in Xingyang.

He looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile: "Gong Zheng left five thousand troops to guard Xingyang and be in charge of the rear of our army. The rest of the soldiers will follow the army directly to Yuan Shao. Most of the generals accompanying the army are Nanyang generals. Who do you think is suitable to stay and defend the city?"

Ma Chao and Wei Yan lowered their heads silently, hoping that the general would not suddenly see them. If there was a crack in the ground nearby, they would definitely not mind bending down and getting into it.

Gao Shun glanced at the two of them, snorted coldly, clasped his fists at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, Ma Chao and Wei Yan have grown quite a lot after the battle in Nanyang, and are now capable of leading an army alone..."

The two of them raised their heads and looked at Gao Shun with eyes full of pleading~

Seeing the two people's useless looks, Gao Shun twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said solemnly: "But these two people are out of character and are not suitable for defending the city. It will be seen in the end, although Deng Yu is not as good as the two." He is so talented, but he is quite mature and has a tough temperament, so I thought that Deng Yu could take on this responsibility!"

As Ma Chao's deputy general, Deng Yu gave several advices to prevent Ma Chao from being annihilated by Cao Cao's plan. In the battle of Nanyang, he performed quite calmly and was indeed suitable as a defender.

Lu Bu looked at Deng Yu for a few times, then smiled and said: "Since Gong Zheng said so, then Deng Yu will defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers will go out with me tomorrow to defeat Yuan Shao!"

"Here!"
