…………………………
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising was wiped out, but remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were still active in various places.
In 192 AD, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops poured into Yanzhou, kicking off the first Battle of Yanzhou.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, led his troops to meet the enemy, but the enemy was outnumbered and the entire army was eventually wiped out. Liu Dai was also killed in the battle.
In the same year, Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, led his troops to suppress the bandits. After several setbacks, he defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, forced a forced landing of 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, and selected young men from them to form the Qingzhou Army.
The first battle of Yanzhou ended with Cao Cao's victory.
In 194 AD, Cao Cao killed famous people and gave way to them, which caused dissatisfaction among the Yanzhou nobles.
In July, gentry from all over the country took advantage of Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou, led by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, and attracted the famous Marquis of Wen Lu Bu, which kicked off the second battle of Yanzhou.
Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuzhou, heard that Yanzhou had been attacked and hurriedly led his troops to return for reinforcements. The two armies faced off in Puyang.
A few months later, the two sides fought fiercely. Finally, due to the locust plague in Yanzhou and the lack of food supplies, they each withdrew their troops.
After Cao Cao returned to Juancheng, not long after, Lu Bu also led his army to withdraw from Puyang and came to Dingtao to garrison.
The following year, summer.
Cao Cao led his troops to attack Dingtao, but failed and withdrew his troops.
Lu Bu sent Xue Lan and Li Feng to garrison Juye, preparing to seize grain, but unexpectedly, they were killed by Cao Cao.
…
On the official road, a group of soldiers and horses meandered eastward like a long and winding dragon.
This group of soldiers and horses, numbering about ten thousand people, moved quickly with flags fluttering and great momentum.
At the front of the team, on a fiery red horse, sat a tall and handsome man.
The man was about thirty years old, with bright eyes, a handsome face, a hint of arrogance between his brows, and a fierce aura exuding from his whole body.
The man is the commander-in-chief of this army: Wen Hou Lu Bu.
Ta-ta-ta!
A spy came galloping on horseback from a distance, jumped off his horse, and saluted with his hands in hand.
"Reporting to Marquis Wen, we are only 30 miles away from Cao Jun's camp, and there are no enemy troops along the way."
Lu Bu looked forward with his deep eyes, and said in a low and powerful tone, "Is there a source of water ahead?"
"There is a small river five miles away from here."
"Send the order, and the whole army will rest by the river."
The already tired soldiers were overjoyed after hearing the order, and their marching speed also accelerated.
When the army came to the river, the cavalry jumped off their horses and led the horses to the river to drink water. They also took out the chestnuts they brought and fed them to keep the horses strong.
Under the command of officers at all levels, the soldiers came to the river in an orderly manner and filled their water bags.
Lu Bu sat by the river, looking at the gurgling water, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
When he and Cao Cao fought in Puyang, although there was a victory or defeat at the beginning, he knew very well that Cao Cao suffered a greater loss.
Especially if he sticks to Puyang, Cao Cao's losses will be even greater.
If this battle continues, Lu Bu believes that he has the possibility of winning.
Although a locust plague occurred in Yanzhou and both sides retreated their troops, it did not affect the results of both sides.
They originally wanted to hold on in Puyang, regain their strength, and fight Cao Cao again, but no one expected that Yuan Shao would take action.
When both sides were short of food, Yuan Shao supported Cao Cao with a large amount of food and sent 5,000 elite soldiers to help out.
What worries Lu Bu even more is that in addition to supporting Cao Cao, Yuan Shao also sent troops and horses to move closer to Dongjun.
At this time, Cao Cao, who had returned to Juancheng, also had the intention of sending troops to attack Puyang again.
If you stay in Puyang, you are likely to be attacked from both sides. Therefore, although Lu Bu was not defeated, he still had no choice but to withdraw from Puyang and come to Dingtao.
Just the day before yesterday, Lu Bu received another piece of news that shocked him.
Yuan Shao wanted to send General Yan Liang to Yanzhou with 50,000 troops and horses.
If it were when he first entered Yanzhou, facing Yan Liang's 50,000 troops, Lu Bu would have dared to fight.
Thinking of the current situation, Lu Bu gritted his teeth, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.
Since Yuan Shao helped Cao Cao, the powerful Yanzhou people who originally supported him turned to support Cao Cao one-sidedly.
There was a severe drought in Yanzhou and there was another locust plague. The crops in the fields were almost useless.
Without the support of these powerful men, food supplies would not be sustainable, and there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left.
What's even more despicable is that the 1,000 Bingzhou cavalrymen were reduced to 500.
As a cavalry commander, he knew very well that if the cavalry could not form a large-scale stormy charge, it would not be able to affect the entire battle and could only play a flanking role.
There are two main purposes for going to Juye this time. One is to recapture Juye. If not, then grab some food to maintain military use.
Lu Bu raised his head and looked in the direction of Jizhou, with a wry smile on his lips.
So what if we take back Juye?
As long as Yuan Shao joins the war, can the remaining 10,000 people still defeat Yuan and Cao's coalition forces?
Thinking of these, Lu Bu suddenly felt confused and didn't know where to go.
Suddenly, a sudden voice appeared in my mind.
"The adventure system is installed. Is the host bound?"
"who?"
Being approached silently without even noticing it, Lu Bu was furious, his eyes shot out with murderous intent, he stood up suddenly and looked around.
The guards surrounding him hurriedly drew their swords and guarded Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked around carefully, but found that there was no suspicious person. At this moment, the voice sounded again.
"The adventure system is installed. Is the host bound?"
After Lu Bu heard the source of the sound, his expression changed drastically and he was horrified.
It turned out to be in my own mind.
"The adventure system is installed. Is the host bound?"
Lu Bu felt that this voice did not mean any harm to him. He was surprised and asked in a low voice.
"who are you?"
"The adventure system is installed. Is the host bound?"
Seeing that the other party did not answer his words, Lu Bu frowned and asked in confusion.
"Bind?"
He used a question, just wanting to ask what is binding?
However, this voice concluded that Lu Bu agreed to the binding.
"The adventure system has been bound. Since the host is using it for the first time, a gift package for newbies will be given to the host."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large blue screen appeared in the void in front of Lu Bu.
Seeing this big screen, Lu Bu took a step back in surprise. After realizing that there was no danger, he calmed down a little and turned his head to look at the surrounding guards.
A dozen guards held knives in one hand and guarded Lu Bu tightly. They looked around with vigilant eyes, but they turned a blind eye to the big blue screen in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, it suddenly dawned on him!
Could it be that only you can see this screen?
Lu Bu calmed down and then began to look at the screen.
Three squares appear side by side on the screen, with corresponding text in each square.
1. You can claim a pet (any species, 100% owner recognition.)
Second, get a chance to be a clone.
Three, get a chance to take an adventure.
(Don’t worry about whether Lu Bu knows simplified Chinese characters. If you explain it, it will waste everyone’s time. Therefore, here it is assumed that Lu Bu knows simplified characters, Arabic numerals, etc.)
