Lu Bu walked outside and saw Chen Gong waiting outside.
"Master, don't be discouraged. As time goes by, Wen Qian will surely know about the change in his master, and he will definitely be loyal to him."
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's frown and knew that he had failed. This was what Chen Gong expected. It would be strange if Lu Bu convinced Le Jin with just a few words. Let alone Le Jin, even if it was him, It was only recently that I changed my mind.
At first, in Chen Gong's mind, he did not really recognize Lu Bu as his master. Whether it was a sneak attack on Yanzhou or stealing Xuzhou, it was just that he wanted to use Lu Bu's army to fight Cao Cao.
However, as they got along with each other, especially when Lu Bu started to use his brains and tricks in order to give him some relief, Chen Gong's mentality gradually changed. It wasn't until he saw that Lu Bu had really changed that he became more and more dominant. After cultivating it, you can completely let go of those previous thoughts.
Now Lu Bu wants to recruit Yue Jin, but the same difficulty is too high. This is why Chen Gong sighed before. If Lu Bu didn't have those things, it would be much easier.
Apart from comforting Lu Bu in this way to avoid being hit, Chen Gong didn't know what to say.
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong's complicated look, and then smiled.
"Gongtai, don't comfort me. I can still bear this blow. If Wen Qian doesn't want to, just don't want to. I believe that as long as I keep communicating with him, one day everything will be clear.
In addition, I plan to use Cao Ren or Xiahou Dun to exchange for Wen Qian's family with Cao Cao. What do you think? "
Chen Gong felt relieved after listening to Lu Bu's words. As long as he was not hit, that would be fine. He was afraid that Lu Bu would be unable to recover.
"My lord, this method is feasible. As long as the family comes over, I believe that one day, Wen Qian will change his mind."
Lu Bu also nodded. He also thought so. It just took a little longer, and the worst result was that they were still unwilling to follow him. No matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be much worse.
In the following days, in addition to reading books, looking at farmland, paying attention to waterways, and thinking about how to intercept barbaric talents, Lu Bu also did one more thing, which was to visit Le Jin, and he just went to watch and talk with shamelessness.
Zhang Liao on the other side led his army and galloped all the way to Ling County, with the purpose of reaching Ling County before Ji Ling.
However, fate did not go as planned. After all, Ji Ling was relatively close and had successfully occupied Ling County. Due to Liu Bei's withdrawal, Ling County was occupied by Ji Ling's army with almost no resistance.
After Ji Ling occupied Ling County, he immediately prepared to march towards Xiang Xiang. However, he received news that Zhang Liao was leading an army. Ji Ling immediately began to assemble the army, intending to defeat Zhang Liao's army first, and then march towards Xiang Xiang.
Zhang Liao also received the news that Ji Ling had occupied Ling County. Chen Deng advised Zhang Liao to defend the prime minister and wait for Ji Ling to lead his army to attack before defeating Ji Ling. However, Zhang Liao did not accept the decision. In Zhang Liao's eyes, he had to defeat Ji Ling as soon as possible. .
After all, he also felt that the situation in Xuzhou was not good. If he was to defend the prime minister, the time would be completely decided by Ji Ling. This was not what Zhang Liao wanted, and his army only numbered 30,000. Even if he came to Ling County, Ji Ling would The spirit will definitely fight with him before giving up.
Ji Ling came to Xuzhou not to defend the city, but to attack. It was nothing more than a frontal battle, but Zhang Liao was not afraid. With ten thousand wolves riding on them, Zhang Liao was not worried at all about losing in a frontal battle.
Chen Deng finally agreed with Zhang Liao and came all the way to Ling County.
"Report, general, the enemy troops in Ling County have left the city and are heading towards our army!"
Zhang Liao suddenly smiled when he heard the scout's report.
"Explore again!"
Zhang Liao then looked at Chen Deng.
"Yuanlong, what I said is right. This Ji Ling must be thinking of defeating me before entering the lower ranks. This time, he must have a good fight.
Yuanlong, how do you think we should defeat the enemy? "
Chen Deng looked at Zhang Liao and then spoke.
"Wen Yuan, the way of military formation is not something I am good at. The Lord is full of praise for Wen Yuan's talent. Wen Yuan can make the decision on his own."
The method of military formation in frontal battles is indeed not what Chen Deng is good at, and Zhang Liao's military strategy is not inferior. Chen Deng does not want to disrupt Zhang Liao's deployment.
Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded with a smile, then put away his smile and looked at Wei Xu and the other person seriously.
"Wei Xu, this time you lead the army to fight against the enemy. Remember, you are not allowed to retreat from this battle!
I led five thousand wolf cavalry to attack from the front, attracting Ji Ling's attention, and asked him to gather all the troops towards the front army.
Wei Yue, you lead five thousand wolf cavalry to attack the center of Ji Ling's army from the side. Remember, you must charge after I lead the wolf cavalry before you charge again. You must directly cut off Ji Ling's army.
After you rush in, just rush to the rear of Ji Ling's army, and I will lead the wolf cavalry to follow! "
Wei Yue, one of Lu Bu's generals, was very capable, but his status was still slightly lower than that of Wei Xu and others. Although he and Wei Xu had similar names, they were neither relatives nor relatives.
After Zhang Liao made arrangements, he immediately looked at Chen Deng.
"Yuanlong, you are waiting for news of a certain victory at the rear. This battle will definitely break the rules!"
Immediately, Zhang Liao and others went down and started arranging the movement of the army, while Wei Yue took five thousand wolf cavalry and headed to the right, because he had to take a detour and had to set off early.
Half an hour later, the two armies met. Neither side seemed to have any intention of talking before the battle. The two armies started fighting directly and rushed towards each other.
Wei Xu led the infantry and the front army quickly met each other. Although there were casualties on both sides, no one could do anything to defeat the other for a while.
Zhang Liao saw the opportunity and immediately began to charge.
"Wolf Cavalry, charge with me!"
Zhang Liao led the wolf cavalry and went straight to Ji Ling's central army. However, Ji Ling was well prepared. The central army formed a military formation and mobilized troops from the rear to prevent Zhang Liao from charging into the formation.
However, Zhang Liao was full of disdain. Ji Ling obviously didn't know what wolf riding was.
"bow!"
Zhang Liao took out the bow and arrow on his horse, and the other wolf riders all understood what he was doing. They set up their bows and shot arrows in one go. Ji Ling's pupils widened instantly when he saw the rain of arrows coming from the sky.
However, this was not over yet. The wolf rider at the front took out the special spear prepared on the horse, raised his right hand to the shoulder level, then moved his hand back to the maximum extent, leaned back his waist, and then stood up violently, holding the gun in his hand. With the spear on his waist and arms, he galloped towards Ji Ling's army.
These spears are made of pure iron, and the spear tips are particularly sharp. Every time they are used, they must be recovered after the battlefield. They will only be lost unless they are defeated.
The spears pierced Ji Ling's army. Even though some of them used their shields to resist, the spears penetrated the shields and penetrated directly into the soldier's body.
The wolf riders in the rear continued to shoot. Soon, when the distance was even closer, all the wolf riders took out their weapons and used the gap opened by throwing their spears before to break into Ji Ling's army.
"kill!"
Zhang Liao rode in the lead, swinging the sword left and right, killing one person after another.
When Ji Ling saw this, he immediately ordered again.
"Send the order, the rear troops will surround you on both sides, and the front troops must block the enemy's infantry!"
Ji Ling also wanted to use the numerical advantage of the army to besiege the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao.
Ji Ling immediately led his troops and charged towards Zhang Liao, intending to resist Zhang Liao's charge and slow down the cavalry's charge.
However, just when Ji Ling started to take action, the rear army was still moving, and his flank was attacked again.
"kill!"
Wei Yue led five thousand wolf cavalry and charged in from the side of Ji Ling's army. Ji Ling's army was completely unprepared. The military formation was destroyed in a moment, and Zhang Liao kept moving forward.
At this time, Ji Ling's army seemed to be divided into three parts. One part was fighting with Wei Xu's infantry, and the middle was isolated by the wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao. Between the rear army and the central army, there were wolves led by Wei Yue. The cavalry divided the army.
When Ji Ling saw this, he immediately turned around and charged towards Wei Yue. He knew that the most dangerous thing to him was Wei Yue's wolf rider who came in from the side.
"The enemy will die!"
Ji Ling was very angry and chased Wei Yue crazily. However, Wei Yue did not want to talk to Ji Ling at all, and led the wolf cavalry to completely isolate the contact between Ji Ling's army.
Wei Xu, who was commanding the infantry, was already rushing forward. After a short stalemate, Wei Xu led his army to open a gap in person. The army suddenly poured in, and Yuan Jun was gradually defeated.
Seeing that the situation on this battlefield was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Ji Ling immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops to Ling County.
The two armies fought for less than an hour. After Ji Ling's military order was issued, Yuan's army was completely defeated. Zhang Liao led the wolf cavalry to pursue them all the way, while Wei Xu's infantry also stayed close to prevent Yuan's army from evacuating.
Ji Ling saw that Zhang Liao was chasing after him, but was blocked by a large army, which was relatively far away from him. Seeing that the army was so defeated, Ji Ling had no intention of going to Ling County and fled directly to Huaiyin, intending to reorganize the army in Huaiyin and stop him. After leaving Zhang Liao, he asked Yuan Shu for help.
