Regarding the generals under Lu Bu who are more powerful in martial arts, in fact, besides Zhang Liao, they must belong to Wei Yue and Cheng Lian, two guys who have no role in the Romance of the Romance.

Even Gao Shun is known for his talent for commanding troops and military command. He may not be able to defeat these two people in terms of personal courage. He is probably similar to Cheng Lian, and perhaps even slightly inferior to Wei Yue.

However, the qualifications of Wei Yue and Cheng Lian following Lu Bu to make contributions in history were mainly seen in Lu Bu's assistance to Yuan Shao to defeat Zhang Yan. In history, Lu Bu's cooperation period for Yuan Bu to surrender was too short, and it was mentioned in the Romance, which led to readers of Romance being unfamiliar with these people.

But in this time and space, since Lu Bu followed Yuan Shao, he has been working for five years and became the leader of the Bingzhou Army. Yuan Shao has never sent an assassin to murder Lu Bu from beginning to end.

Due to the common external pressure, the surface harmony between the two sides has been maintained well. Therefore, in the process of completely eliminating Zhang Yan, Wei Yue and Chenglian and others also promoted their official position, and now they are second only to Zhang Liao under Lu Bu.

However, such a long-standing general, who was unprepared for the incident of "Guan Yu breaking north" and had relaxed his vigilance, was still in a hurry when he was attacked at night.

After the second update, Wei Yue's night patrol scouts immediately discovered Guan Yu's troops. Just as they were about to warn, they were attacked by Guan Yu's army. The scouts were killed one after another when they had time to yell out the news of the enemy's attack.

Then Guan Yu's army lit torches one after another, and broke through the fences of Wei Yue camp on both sides, and threw torches into the tents on the outer side. After a moment, as several fire barriers rose, although Wei Yue organized the rear-row troops to form a whole team, it was difficult for him to fight back in the night to regain the gap.

Considering that he wanted to prevent the self-trampling and infiltration chaos at night, Wei Yue decisively restrained his troops from choosing to defend on the spot and gave up the part of the camp that had already caught fire. Even if he gave up a way to cause Guan Yu to rush over temporarily, he would be willing to do so.

Wei Yue also had several officers who were obviously not smart enough, all of whom were of Sima level in other departments. Seeing this, they all advised: "Captain, we will just stick to counterattack like this. What should we do if Guan Yu breaks through?"

Wei Yue beat out with disgust: "What do you know! General Zhengbei has ordered to be wary of Guan Yu breaking into the Gu Valley Road. Now he sees that he is passing through the junction between us and General Zhengbei. Even if he breaks into Xiaopingjin, it will be difficult to fly, which will only make Guan Yu farther and farther away from his original best breakthrough road.

Even if Guan Yu forced himself to cross to the north bank of the Yellow River, as long as Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao restrained him, it would be easy for us and General Zhengbei to catch up and completely encircle him again."

No one is afraid that Guan Yu will break in the wrong direction! This is definitely a fraud!

With such a way to preserve strength, the intensity of the night battle between the two sides was obviously not as strong as expected. Guan Yu only suffered more than a hundred casualties and broke through Wei Yue's defense junction.

In contrast, Wei Yue's army was caught off guard and suffered losses of more than a thousand people, and the ratio of the battle was nearly ten times! However, considering that the absolute value of the total casualties and losses of both sides was not large, this multiple was not important.

Lu Bu personally led reinforcements and hurried to Wei Yue's camp when the third day passed, and hurriedly asked about Wei Yue's situation.

Wei Yue first apologized sincerely, and then reported the story to Lu Bu truthfully, saying that he was afraid of fraud at night and other chaos, so he chose to stick to the spot, shrink and give up the fire, which led to Guan Yu temporarily breaking through the defense line.

Lu Bu did not blame him too much: "You made a good choice. It is Wen Chou's business to fight attrition with Guan Yu. It is the most important thing for us to seize the opportunity to earn credit. However, have you seen Guan Yu himself? This is what I care about the most!

It took several days since Guan Yu to come to the battle. Seven days ago, Jiang Yiqu said at first that he shot Guan Yu, but in a blink of an eye, Jiang Yiqu himself was so scared that he jumped into the river by Guan Yu's pursuit. Then Guan Yu stopped showing up. Such a false and real correspondence makes it difficult to guess.”

After hearing Lu Bu ask about this key, Wei Yue's expression became more serious, and he solemnly promised:

"Just in the fire, I saw a fierce general with a long beard who fought with a green dragon sword and cut off more than ten scouts under my command with one hand. However, I was afraid that I could not distinguish the enemy situation in the dark, so I didn't dare to lead the iron cavalry to intercept it, so I didn't see it completely. Everyone's face was very red in the fire."

After hearing this, Lu Bu felt that it made sense. He used to look at his face with torches in the dark, of course, everyone was a little blushing. The powerful general could kill more than a dozen soldiers and his weapons were right. The probability of Guan Yu should be quite high.

Lu Bu then ordered casually: "First rectify all the troops and horses, everyone put on torches, chase them slowly, and strive to arrive in Xiaopingjin at dawn. Don't be afraid that Guan Yu will escape to the Yellow River. Even if he arrives by the river, more than 20,000 people will not be able to ferry all at this time, and you may not be able to find enough ships.

If we see some hope for him, when half of him crosses the river and half of him fail to cross the river, seize that critical moment and rush forward, Guan Yu can capture it in one go!”

From this we can see that Lu Bu's IQ is just a political idiot and is not good at conspiracy, but his sense of smell and response on the battlefield are really strong. Almost relying on instinct, he instantly figured out how to catch Guan Yu's weakest time point and give him a ruthless one.

Wei Yue and others were also convinced, thinking that General Lu was really using troops like a hand, and if everyone strictly enforced the battle, they would definitely win a great victory.

Only a small number of officers questioned: "General, we still have more than 2,000 people garrisoned at the Xiaopingjin Ferry. What if we chase slowly, what should we do if those brothers were annihilated by Guan Yu?"

Lu Bu: "If it is annihilated, it will be annihilated. I can't bear to catch a big fish? Guan Yu would not go this trip to annihilate our two thousand partial divisions. He must have overestimated his ability to cross the river.

As long as we cut Guan Yu into two sections on both sides of the Yellow River, these two thousand ferry guards are not regretful! Besides, they cannot do anything, will they escape by themselves? It is impossible for Guan Yu to completely wipe out."

Lu Bu still cherished his direct Bingzhou soldiers, but he was a ruthless person with a jackal nature. For Lu Bu, achieving his strategic goals and abandoning some bait to lure the enemy is nothing.

So I worked hard here for a long time, reorganized the military power and calculated the time, kept my energy and pursued slowly, and ensured that the troops were full of energy when they arrived in Xiaopingjin and could enter the battle and charge at any time.

After walking two updates, the Xiaopingjin Ferry in front was finally in sight. Lu Bu also saw a fire from afar, and the shouts of killing were no longer heard. It might be that the sound was relatively small and the distance was too far. Obviously, Guan Yu fought a time difference and seized the ferry.

"It's time! While Guan Yu's front army has not crossed the river, the back army has not crossed the river, and wipe out the part that has not crossed the river!" Lu Bu yelled excitedly, ordering the entire army to launch a charge, and even forgot to complete the team again before charging to ensure the formation.

You must not miss the opportunity!

Unfortunately, as Lu Bu's army rushes closer and closer, they also find that something is wrong.

In the darkness, their estimate of distance was always somewhat wrong. I originally thought that when I saw the fire of Xiaopingjin, the distance was already within ten miles, but after rushing ten miles, I realized that it was still quite far away, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

This is not the scale of flames that only ordinary battles and burning camps have! It is definitely several times the size of the dock!

Lu Bu was surprised and hurriedly asked Wei Yue as a pioneer to inquire. In a few minutes, he caught several Hanoi soldiers who had retreated from Xiaopingjin and cried:

"The Guan Yu army broke into the ferry and burned all the trestles and warehouses, and also burned the remaining boats and rafts. Some boats and rafts were even taken from Hao Pu after our army broke through the Guan Yu's ferry eight days ago! Guan Yu even burned the boats that were originally theirs!"

"Guan Yu burned all the ships? Is he afraid that our army would steal the ships and pursue them? He himself did not rely on these ships to cross the river?" Lu Bu and Wei Yue were a little stunned when they heard this.

After all, at this moment, they had not fully understood the amphibious performance of the caravan. They all felt that if Guan Yu wanted to cross the river, they would definitely have to rely on ordinary boats and rafts. They had previously kept a small number of boats in Xiaopingjin, and considered that Guan Yu's troops had to ferry many times in batches with only a little ship, so they were not afraid of leaving bait.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu cut off all the hooks and lines, and both jade and stones were burned.

But now it was just a blazing fire, and Lu Bu didn't have time to think about it anymore. He quickly led the main force to pursue it. Even the infantry and cavalry were disconnected due to the speed difference, so he was willing to do so.

After running for the last few miles, I finally arrived at the ferry where the flames surged into the sky, and found that there were no Guan Yu soldiers in the ferry. Guan Yu's troops burned the ferry and continued to retreat westward, and tried to retreat in the direction of Wushan.

Xiaoping Jindu is basically the south bank of the Yellow River, and the end of Wushan Mountain is a generation. Because Wushan has become a plain here, the surface of the Yellow River suddenly loses its restraint and can build a wharf.

So if Guan Yu's army conquered and burned the ferry and immediately moved upstream along the coast, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to pursue him. Before he could chase after him, the front of the battlefield became extremely narrow, and the increasingly steeper Lu Bu's mountain road blocked the route from south to north. Lu Bu's army could only fight from east to west along the narrow Yellow River beach.

In this case, Guan Yu's army retreated with caravans and infantry, and pushed the caravans across the valley without even having to set up a moon formation. With a strong bow and crossbow, they could shoot the pursuers who came from the east, which were only from the east.

Lu Bu was impulsive at first, and led thousands of cavalry to charge in the morning light, but it turned out to be like hitting a hedgehog straight, with instant casualties. Thousands of bows and crossbows of Guan Yu's army were launched at once, and thousands of spearmen in each row between the front row and the chariot array were stinging together, which was a deterrent to the cavalry as if it were hell on earth.

Fortunately, although the intensity of the casualties was high, it lasted for a short time. Lu Bu realized that the situation was not right, he immediately yelled and asked the soldiers to retreat, and the officers behind him immediately shouted the gold.

But the army's charge was so slow that it was about to stop. Hundreds of people died more than they could stop. Lu Bu himself turned the Fang Tian Huaji like a flying wheel, blocking more than a dozen arrows shot at him, and then he retreated safely.

After the two armies broke off contact, hundreds of wounded and wailed Bingzhou and Hanoi wounded soldiers were still lying on the ground. The scene was terrible.

"What exactly is Guan Yu doing? He finally broke through Xiaopingjin, but did not cross the river. After burning the boat, he continued to retreat west along the Wushan Valley. He also defended the dangerous place to block the mouth of the river valley? There was a dead end behind this road. He went thirty miles west, and sooner or later he would die.

It is impossible to climb over the cliffs of Shaanxi Gorge to escape! These river sections are full of rocks and mud, and it is not enough to allow the boat to dock. If the water flows slightly faster, it is useless even if you expect the boat to come upstream."

Lu Bu couldn't help but doubt that he was born, and at the same time he sighed that Guan Yu was really a talented general. He used his fingers to 20,000 troops, and made the troops switch from marching and attacking to defending the array, which was completed in an instant.

However, if Guan Yu had not changed the formation so quickly, he would not have been able to fight and retreat like this in the past five or six days.

Now that he has been struggling for a night, Lu Bu has lost two teams. In addition, the Xiaopingjin defenders were killed and dispersed. He suffered three inconspicuous small losses. In the end, he just changed his position and continued to block Guan Yu, and was guarded by Guan Yu with his back against the Wushan Mountain! The situation between the two sides has not changed any other changes.

However, not long after falling into stalemate, Lu Bu also got some new situations as the battlefield was cleaned.

First of all, he and Wei Yue discovered that the Guan Yu army, which was blocked on the northern slope of Wushan Mountain on the south bank of the Yellow River, was exposed to a small scale, and there were definitely not 20,000 people.

Of course, it is not ruled out that due to the terrain, Guan Yu's reserve team hid deeper in the west side of the valley behind, such as hiding in the hillside forest, which Lu Bu could not see.

Anyway, there are only more than 2,000 spearmen exposed on the surface, and there should be more crossbowmen. However, as long as the Lu Bu army tentatively attacked and caused casualties, soldiers would be added to the jungle on the hillside of Mount Lu next to it.

For a moment, Lu Bu had the illusion that "there are all soldiers on the mountain of Wu". In short, it was impossible to tell how large the enemy he was chasing.

In addition to the uncertainty of the scale, Lu Bu soon received another news. It was said that after gathering all the defeated soldiers of Xiaopingjin and setting them up for dinner, some returned officers said.

According to them, when Guan Yu's army burned the ship just now, it put a lot of supplies into the fire, and threw some iron armor and other expensive equipment into the Yellow River. Moreover, Guan Yu's army also threw some iron armor and other undestructible expensive equipment into the Yellow River.

"The Guan Yu army threw iron armor and other precious weapons into the Yellow River? What is this for?" Lu Bu couldn't figure it out at all.

Some of the military staff members who knew the logistics side reminded Lu Bu: "Is it because Guan Yu still wants to climb over the mountain to retreat? So he sank those things that he knew they could not take away but could not be destroyed to prevent them from being seized?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he made some sense.

Steel things cannot be burned, and even if they are broken, as long as they are high-quality steel, they still have great value. After Yuan Shaojun seized, he asked the blacksmith to re-form and shape it, and then repair it.

So the best way to destroy is to sink directly to the Yellow River! That is definitely not salvaged.

Lu Bu thought to himself: "After a long time of trouble, Guan Yu was burning his boats, or did he want to retreat by land, and then make sure that nothing was left for me? Then is he going to retreat by land along the Yellow River? He blocked the valley entrance and blocked my pursuers?

That's useless. I just need to notify the North Bank, drive the boat around him, then land on the South Bank, and cut off Guan Yu. He has been eating for less than twenty days. He has been eating for six or seven days. If he insists on surrounding and delaying for more than ten days, he will still die. However, we cannot underestimate this possibility."

Lu Bu's army had no choice but to send people to the north shore to persuade Zhang Liao or Cheng Lian to send a ship to Guan Yu's back to cut off the way back. At the same time, Lu Bu sent a scout to inquire about other directions and called Wen Chou, who was slow to react in Gucheng, to fight against the toughest attack.

This time, Wen Chou and Jiang Yiqu acted slowly. They misjudged Guan Yu's breakthrough direction and did not help in time. It was really inappropriate! Even if they were Yuan Shao's direct descendants, Lu Bu would give these two people a penny at Yuan Shao at that time!

Everything was prepared for about half a day. After the stalemate of the North Line, Lu Bu sent a Kuaima messenger to inform Wen Chou, who was also back, but brought a surprising news to Lu Bu:

"General! We told General Wen Chou what the general meant and asked him to go north and intercept Guan Yu immediately. Unexpectedly, General Wen Chou pulled out a whip and hit us, and said that he did not miss the opportunity to fight at all. It was General you who made the wrong judgment. His side was Guan Yu's main attack and breakout direction!"

Lu Bu and Wei Yue were shocked: "How is that possible! Guan Yu's army is clearly here!"

The messenger: "General Wen Chou said that you are the partial army used by Guan Yu to lure the tiger away from the mountain. You have fallen into a trap. General Wen Chou saw that Guan Yu's army had not broken through the southern line for a long time, so he tried to go north and wanted to help the general pursue Guan Yu.

But halfway through the journey, he was suddenly attacked by a large number of cavalry from Guan Yu's army. Taking advantage of the opportunity that our army was marching in the long snake formation and could not take care of each other, he suddenly broke out from the valley on the left. The leader had a long beard on his face and carried a blue dragon sword in his hand. Why wasn't it Guan Yu?

General Jiang Yiqiu was caught off guard and retreated with his personal guard cavalry company. As a result, he turned slowly in chaos, but was approached by the enemy. He was attacked by Guan Yu and killed his head with a knife! General Wen Chou's cavalry pioneer was in chaos for a while and it was difficult to pursue him again.

They all said that Guan Yu found a small path to climb on nearby Wushan Mountain, deliberately leading you to the north, and he looked for a gap from the south to climb the mountain. General Jiang Yiqu was killed in battle, so how could there be any fakes!"

The conscience of heaven and earth, Lu Bu was really deceived by his messenger this time.

Because the one who killed Jiang Yiqu was actually Guan Yu's son, Guan Ping. In fact, the 20-year-old Guan Ping's martial arts skills were actually slightly lower than that of Jiang Yiqu.

Young people have strong physical strength. Guan Ping may not be much less powerful than Guan Yu, but Guan Ping's experience and counterattack ability are far behind Guan Ping. Now Guan Ping is barely in his martial arts value in his early 80s.

However, Jiang Yiqiu mainly jumped into the river and fled last time when he saw Guan Yu. He was scared to death. This time, when he saw the enemy general who seemed to be Guan Yu, he instantly broke his courage and had no courage to resist. He just wanted to pluck his horse and escape. In this way, Guan Pinghu was defeated by the tiger.

As for the iconic two or three-foot-long bearded man Jiang Yiqu saw, Guan Yu found a soldier who shaved his hair and stuck it on Guan Ping's chin. Since Guan Yu planned to perform the clone fraud tactic of "I will be GANK on the top and I will be GANK on the bottom", how could this trick not be prepared for this trick?

Of course, Guan Yu didn't expect the fraud to be so good. He just thought that the enemy was confused and hesitant, and he could not tell where Guan Yu was, so he had already made a profit. Unexpectedly, the actual operation effect was better than expected, and Jiang Yiqu, who was scared and weak, directly attacked and killed.

The news of Jiang Yiqiu's death cannot be faked. After Lu Bu heard of this heavy news, what else can he doubt?

He instantly slapped his thighs with regret: "We're trapped! The one here is fake Guan Yu! This army is not large in number, but Guan Yu cut off the rear and led the side division of the pursuers, dead soldiers! His main force is on the southern line! Let's go, all the cavalry follow me to the southern line to help General Wen Chou chase Guan Yu!

Wei Yue, you have half of the infantry guarded here, even if this is Guan Yu's abandoned son and partial army, but since they dare to deceive us so ruthlessly, I will not let them go alive in this group of partial army soldiers. Just block the valley entrance and trap them to death."
To be continued...
