Chen Gong said slowly, "Marquis Wen, Zhao Yun not only was not ignored in Youzhou, but was reused. Now, he is the most valued general under Gongsun Zan and is highly reused."
Hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu frowned and suddenly felt enlightened.
Gongsun Zan must have entered the game. He also heard players talking about Zhao Yun, so he reused Zhao Yun. This must be the case.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu's heart moved. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao both entered the game. They also knew the process of history and knew exactly what would happen.
Lu Bu remembered clearly that Lonely Xianyu once said that if Gongsun Zan continued to be decadent, he would be completely wiped out by Yuan Shao before long.
He guessed that it was very likely that Gongsun Zan knew this period of history and was unwilling to be eliminated, so he wanted to fight back. What Chen Gong said about Zhao Yun should be the best proof.
Lu Bu felt a little pity that Zhao Yun could not be used by him. According to Lonely Xianyu, Zhao Yun's martial arts at this period was only inferior to his own, and no one could rival him. The most important thing was Zhao Yun's loyalty. With such Having people help you can indeed reduce your stress.
Chen Gong said slowly, "Marquis Wen, actually this will be of greater benefit to us."
Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong, frowned and asked, "Why?"
Chen Gong turned to look at the north and said with a smile, "Through past events, it is enough to prove that Gongsun Zan is no match for Yuan Shao. Even if Gongsun Zan wants to fight back, he probably won't be able to do it with his strength."
Speaking of this, Chen Gong suddenly sneered, "Marquis Wen once said that Zhao Yun is brave and resourceful and is a rare talent. I think if Zhao Yun joins Gongsun Zan, even if they can't defeat Yuan Shao, I think both of them will be able to defeat Yuan Shao." There should be a stalemate for a period of time, and we can take advantage of this period to develop our own strength. When the outcome is determined between them, no matter who loses or wins, we are no longer afraid.
Marquis Wen, do you think this is a good thing? "
When Lu Bu heard what Chen Gong said, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded, "It's true what Gongtai said, it's true, but with Gongsun Zan alone, I'm afraid he can't be Yuan Shao's in any case." The opponent, with Zhao Yun’s help, should be able to persist for a while longer.”
Chen Gong smiled and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, it seems that although we did not ask Zhao Yun to come to us, what Zhao Yun did is indeed helping us."
Lu Bu nodded, "It seems that I would like to send some talents to Gongsun Zan to prevent him from being defeated by Yuan Shao if he doesn't last long, which will be detrimental to us."
At this moment, the frustration of not being able to conquer Zhao Yun has dissipated from Lu Bu's heart. Now, he is a little lucky, because Zhao Yun seems to be able to help him more by staying with Gongsun Zan.
…
On the official road, a group of soldiers and horses were resting by the roadside. The soldiers were staggering around, and some even lay directly on the ground. Even the big flag was put down to use as a pillow.
Around these people, there were many war horses scattered randomly, and when the team was resting, it was the time to replenish the war horses with fine food, but these soldiers just let the war horses eat the weeds on the roadside at will.
A team that is ready for war at any time will maintain silence and order even when resting, but this team is like a pile of loose sand, without any discipline at all.
Just such a team was once famous in the northwest, the Xiliang Army, and the most elite unit among them was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which made the enemy fearful.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is basically composed of Qiang and Huns from the Bingzhou and Liangzhou areas.
Although Dong Zhuo was cruel, his fighting power was quite strong. After defeating these foreign tribes, he saw so many young men who were good at riding horses, so he formed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
These people are brave and good at fighting, and they are only interested in profit. When they see a benefit, they will naturally serve Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was killed, and the remaining Xiliang cavalry were subdued by Li Jue and Guo Si.
In a forest beside the road, Li Jue and others gathered together to discuss the next step.
Li Jue was originally a suspicious person and very cautious. At this moment, his brows were furrowed and he was undecided for a moment.
Although Yang Feng and others were defeated, they actually protected the emperor without Xu Du. What Li Jue hesitated was, should he pursue them?
After thinking for a long time, Li Jue still couldn't make up his mind. He turned to look at Guo Bang next to him, frowned and asked, "General Guo, what do you suggest?"
Guo Bang gritted his teeth and said, "General Li, if we let the Emperor go, we may be in great trouble. Therefore, we must pursue him and never let him go."
Li Jue's frown deepened, "However, according to the spies' report, Lu Bu's son has sent soldiers and horses to protect the emperor, which is really embarrassing!"
Hearing this, Guo Bang sneered, "General Li, what are you afraid of? Although Lu Bu's son is brave, but so what. When he was in Chang'an, he was beaten by us and ran away in embarrassment. If he ran slower, maybe he would I can’t even run away, hum.”
Hearing these words, Li Jue felt relieved, and then turned to look at Li Li, "Do you think this matter is safe?"
Li Li was his nephew and the person he trusted most, so he asked.
Li Li cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, although Lu Bu is brave, he is only against others. When he encounters our Xiliang cavalry, he does not have to surrender obediently."
Li Jue smiled slightly, "Then you mean, we can chase him?"
Li Li nodded, "This time we must not let the Emperor go, we must pursue him to the end."
Hearing both of them say this, Li Jue felt completely relieved. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, if that's the case, let's pursue him."
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a faint sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Hearing this voice, Li Jue was stunned and asked doubtfully, "General Guo, did you send someone out?"
Guo Bang shook his head, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "No!"
Li Li snorted coldly, "Someone must have run out secretly. Maybe I saw a village with benefits on the way. I want to take advantage of everyone's rest to get some benefits."
Hearing these words, Li Jue nodded in agreement, and then snorted coldly, "Wait a minute and let's see who dares to disobey orders and ask him to hand over the benefits he received without leaving any of them to him."
Guo Bang smiled and nodded, "That's it. These guys are becoming more and more disobedient. It's time to take care of them."
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and the thunderous sound became louder and louder.
Li Jue's eyes suddenly focused and he shook his head, "Something is wrong. Listening to this sound, there should be many war horses?"
At this point, Li Jue raised his head and looked at where the sound of horse hooves was coming from, "Is there any cavalry?"
Li Li snorted coldly and shook his hand, "Uncle, how is this possible? Apart from us, where are the cavalry in this area?"
Guo Bang suddenly exclaimed, "Are you one of Lu Bu's children?"
Just as Li Jue was about to speak, a sharp shout suddenly came from the distance.
"Oops, enemy attack, enemies are coming."
Hearing this voice, Li Jue's expression froze, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Then he reacted and stood up suddenly and yelled.
"Get up quickly and meet the enemy."
Some of the Xiliang soldiers who were resting had already fallen asleep, and some were wandering in their thoughts. Although they heard Li Jue's shouting, it took a long time for them to truly react and stand up and shout together.
"Oops, an enemy is coming!"
Ta-ta-ta!
By the time everyone reacted, a group of cavalry had already rushed quickly from a distance. Before they could get close, there was a sudden roar.
"Projection!"
As the words fell, countless arrows flew into the air and landed on the heads of the Xiliang army like dark clouds.
Whoosh!
"Ahhh!"
Li Jue jumped on his horse and looked at the cavalry charging from a distance. His face suddenly turned pale and he shouted with a trembling voice, "It's bad, it's Bingzhou cavalry. Hurry up and fight."
But it was already too late. Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian took the lead and led the Bingzhou cavalry to charge over.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
The Xiliang army is composed of warriors from all ethnic groups. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, it is extremely powerful. During Dong Zhuo's period, it could be said to be unparalleled and almost unrivaled.
But unfortunately, after returning to the command of Li Jue and Guo Bin, it has become a piece of scattered sand, which can also be said to be a mob.
Dong Zhuo could suppress these brave warriors of all races, but Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't do this. They tried to control them at first, but there were too many disobedient people, and they couldn't behead them all, so they could only let it go. After a long time, there is no fighting capacity left.
Let these people plunder villages, and all of them will be extremely brave, or they can defeat more with less, such as beating Yang Feng and others, and they will show their full combat power.
However, once it encounters a strong enemy, what combat effectiveness does an army without military discipline have?
When the Bingzhou cavalry rushed in, there were even many Xiliang soldiers who had just woken up and were still looking at the enemy with sleepy eyes.
When they suddenly see an enemy rushing towards them, their first thought is not to resist, but to run away.
The horses of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were still around when the enemy rushed in. Many of the cavalrymen were beaten back and forth before they could mount their horses, screaming in agony.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Seeing that his own army had been defeated, Li Jue suddenly became furious and furious. He waved the spear in his hand and killed Zhang Liao who was rushing towards him.
Although Li Jue has many shortcomings, he still has some real abilities to be reused by Dong Zhuo.
When Zhang Liao saw Li Jue rushing over, he snorted coldly and waved the spear in his hand to meet him.
"kill!"
Cheng Lian on the other side also met Guo Bang and started fighting.
The Bingzhou cavalry galloped back and forth among the Xiliang army's camp, killing the enemies who were routed into disarray and fled in all directions.
At the same time, the infantry led by Gao Shun also rushed over from a distance and joined the battle.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Seeing that something was not going well, Guo Bang hurriedly shouted, "General Li, we can't stop him anymore. Should we withdraw our troops?"
Li Jue and Zhang Liao fought for dozens of rounds and were sweating profusely. When they could no longer hold on, they heard Guo Si's shout and hurriedly turned their horses and ran away.
"retreat."
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army could not hold on any longer. When they heard Li Jue's words, they were immediately overjoyed. They could no longer resist and chased in the direction where Li Jue disappeared.
Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian did not pursue the enemy. After repelling the enemy, they stopped to clean the battlefield.
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Lian looked at the war horse being brought back by the soldiers, grinning so much that it reached his ears.
"Old Zhang, come and see, there are so many war horses, they are so powerful this time."
On the battlefield, in addition to war horses, there were many weapons thrown randomly on the ground, which was also a huge wealth.
You know, there was not much iron production at this time. As long as these ready-made swords and guns were available, an army could be formed immediately.
Cheng Lian walked back with a big smile, looked at the expressionless Gao Shun, and couldn't help but asked tentatively, "Old Gao, you have harvested so many trophies, aren't you satisfied?"
Gao Shun didn't even look at Cheng Lian, and said calmly, "Please clean up quickly, we have to rush to Xudu."
Cheng Lian scratched his head and said, "Lao Gao, why are you like a piece of wood? Aren't you happy?"
Gao Shun ignored him and walked directly to the side to direct the soldiers to clean the battlefield.
An hour later, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others left and went to Xudu, while Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian slowly rushed towards Luoyang.
They were not in a hurry, after all, their mission was not to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, but to drive them to Luoyang.
As long as Li Jue and Guo Bang stay in Luoyang, they will not attack again.
…
Li Jue and Guo Bang fled with the remaining soldiers and waited until night before they dared to stop and rest.
Li Jue looked at the remaining soldiers around him, gritted his teeth angrily and shouted, "Zhang Liao, I have no enmity with you, but you dare to attack me. It's really hateful."
Guo Si frowned, "General Li, Zhang Liao is certainly hateful, but if my prediction is correct, he must have been sent here by Lu Bu's son."
Li Jue was startled and turned to look at Guo Bang, "Do you mean that Lu Bu's son wants to deal with us?"
Guo Bang nodded, thinking of today's events, but shook his head again, and said with a wry smile, "General Li, what happened today is very strange. Logically speaking, Zhang Liao defeated us, so he should pursue the victory. If he did that, We will lose more troops."
At this point, Guo Bang paused and said with a puzzled look, "But they didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue us, they just defeated us. Why is this?"
Hearing these words, Li Jue couldn't help but be stunned, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
Guo Bang was right. Zhang Liao was leading the Bingzhou Cavalry, and it couldn't be easier to pursue them. However, under the pursuit of the Bingzhou Cavalry, his own side would lose most of their troops, even if they were not completely annihilated.
However, Zhang Liao did not do this. Instead of pursuing the victory, he allowed himself to leave.
Why is this?
Li Li suddenly said, "Uncle, could it be that they don't really want to fight us in the first place?"
Li Jue turned to look at Li Li, frowned and asked, "If you don't want to fight us, why did you sneak attack on us?"
Li Li said slowly, "Maybe they don't want us to go to Xudu."
Hearing this sentence, Li Jue suddenly realized.
