Chapter 219 Duan Shui Master Lu Fengxian [Ask for Monthly Ticket]
"Fengxian, is the camera on?"
At the beginning of the video, Jia Xu, wearing a black scribe's robe, appeared in front of the camera. The chief counselor's face was rosy and he looked much moisturized than before.
Obviously, as soon as the recent meals were served, Mr. Wen He, who loves life, replenished himself with energy.
The battle was about to begin, but Lu Bu's voice was very relaxed:
"It's already opened. Say hello to my brother Li Xian!"
When Jia Xu heard this, he quickly straightened his clothes and bowed seriously to the camera:
"Xu pays homage to Mr. Li! The Bingzhou Army has undergone great changes in recent times, all of which are due to Mr. Xu! When this happens, our army will slowly retreat to the pass and will not return to Luoyang for a short time. If Mr. Li has other arrangements, Xu can send someone To execute.”
What other arrangements can I make... Li Yu doesn't understand what Jia Xu means. He has never intervened in the specific affairs of the Bingzhou Army. Lao Jia should know it very well!
Just as he was about to ask Lu Bu, he heard Jia Xu sigh leisurely in the video, and said if he had something to say:
"Although the fire in Luoyang has been extinguished, there are things that can ignite the fire everywhere. It is spring in March and the weather is dry. If water suddenly breaks out in the city, the coalition forces of the princes will surely suffer heavy losses..."
Li Yu: "!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Lao Jia, you are really not afraid of hurting Tianhe!
How did such cold words come out of your 37-degree mouth?
I have to remind him that the Bingzhou Army now believes in the old mother of the human race. If she often says such things, Empress Nuwa will be unhappy.
Even though in the real world she can only have a minor mental breakdown, in the world of books, any move of her fingers can lead to a catastrophe that will destroy the world.
Liu Bei on the side saw this and said with a smile:
"I have always heard about Jia Wenhe's talents. I don't want to understand why future generations call him a poisonous scholar today."
Guan Yu, who had commanded the Seventh Flooded Army, quite recognized Jia Xu:
"I think this strategy is good. It can severely damage the coalition forces of the princes at the minimum cost. If rumors of the appearance of the jade seal are spread in the city before setting fire, the results will be even more brilliant."
Zhang Fei thought of his experience of being despised in the coalition army and wished he could light a fire himself:
"That's right, none of those princes are good anyway, so they'll all be burned to death!"
Liu Bei smiled and shook his head and voted against:
"If the situation is critical, this risky move can be used, but now that the rise of the Han Dynasty is unstoppable, there is no need to overdraft the national transportation to put this fire. When the life and death of the princes will not affect your own layout, then keep it for now, and later Defeat them in an upright way... With the real world as your backer, isn’t it easy to defeat these princes?”
When ministers think about things, they will calculate the cost and pursue the best "cost-effectiveness", but as a king, they follow the path of kingship or domineering.
What you pursue for something is not cost performance, but influence.
If the princes along the way are wiped out with overwhelming force, even if the price paid is a bit high, it is still worth it, because the other princes will be afraid, jealous, and even surrender, not daring to have second thoughts.
Lu Bu tore open a small packet of peanut cake and put it into his mouth. He chewed it twice and found it tasted good. He grabbed a handful and gave it to Zhang Fei, and then said:
"I told Mr. Wenhe that it's not necessary. But we have sent people to Luoyang secretly to spread the word. The jade seal is in a certain well, and the virtuous people from the eighteen princes will live there."
Damn, this move is really damaging.
Even if the princes were half-convinced, they would dig out the wells in Luoyang City with the mentality that they would rather believe it.
Not only will this take a lot of time, but the key is that there is already a gap between the various princes. If this is done, the relationship will be closer to the freezing point.
Even if any of the princes decided to stop playing and leave early, everyone would doubt whether they had succeeded and be eager to go back and prepare to become emperor.
After this back and forth, the already divided princes completely turned into hostile relations.
Well, compared to setting fire, Li Yu preferred this method. Few people would die, but it could make the princes exhausted and even turn against each other.
Those in power should use this cricket-fighting mentality to fight against their opponents.
The video continued, and only then did Li Yu see clearly that the leaders of the Bingzhou Army were on a slope outside the city.
Xu Rong held a newly issued telescope, awkwardly raised it to his eyes, and carefully observed the distance.
Jia Xu said to Dian Wei, who was wearing walking armor:
"General Dian will follow Prefect Xu today. If we see any enemy approaching, no matter who it is, we will kill them all!"
When Dian Wei heard this, he handed over his hands and accepted the order:
"I will obey the military advisor's orders!"
Just as he was about to continue the layout, Cao Xing's voice came from the intercom:
"I see the vanguard, should I fire a few shots to scare them?"
Because this guy has the title of Galaxy Shooter, Lu Bu gave him the responsibility of the artillery. He didn't expect to be so impatient.
If the cannon were fired now, Ah Ma would turn around and run away, and what the hell would the result be?
Lu Bu took the walkie-talkie and said:
"Stay still, no artillery fire is allowed without my order. From now on, keep silent, and use the walkie-talkie again to punish you artillerymen for cleaning up horse manure on the cavalry for three months."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately became obedient.
Jia Xu then assigned tasks:
"Wenyuan, you led the cavalry to ambush in the designated mountain col. Hearing the sound of cannons, they rushed out in attack formation and charged directly at the A'hao army. Don't worry about the scattered soldiers."
"Here!"
Orders were issued one after another, and almost all generals of the state army, large and small, had tasks.
Some were responsible for waving flags and shouting on the mountain, making a siege look; some tied branches to their horses and rode around, stirring up dust, like a cavalry charge.
There are also people responsible for intercepting and killing, shouting, etc.
In order to disrupt the morale of the enemy, Jia Xu also specially arranged for a dozen or so eloquent soldiers to use hand-held loudspeakers used to sell vegetables in farmers' markets and shout slogans such as Cao Cao is dead and surrender without killing to the soldiers of Cao's army.
In short, the tens of thousands of soldiers led by Cao Cao must be clearly arranged. Even if they are not completely wiped out, their courage must be frightened.
Lu Bu also prepared some curse words, such as "The descendants of the eunuchs will not get their eggs", but he did not plan to use them for the time being. He would shout them out when he needed to expand the victory to arouse the opponent's blood.
It would be better if Ah Man could come to fight with his sword. Lu Bu would give him the highest honor as a soldier.
It's a pity that Prime Minister Cao may be impulsive, but he will never be stupid enough to challenge Lu Bu.
After the arrangements were made, Jia Xu raised his hands in front of the camera and said:
"Aman knew that Xingyang City was occupied and would have thought that this was a siege, so he would not be too alert before arriving at Xingyang. This move can be used to deal with inexperienced and tired troops... In Xuande Gong's case, I ask Emperor Zhaolie not to make fun of you, who is doing all the tricks in front of you."
Liu Bei: "!!!!!!!!!!!"
I thought I was communicating with Mr. Li about military layout, but I didn't expect that he was giving me a heads up.
He quickly bowed to the monitor and saluted:
"Mr. Wenhe's kindness will be unforgettable!"
Just now he thought that Jia Xu was a poisonous person, but he didn't expect that he would point it out when he got the chance. Liu Bei had a look of shame on his face and admired this counselor so much.
When Jia Xu is in the opponent's formation, he is a poisonous warrior who stirs up war for his own selfish interests, and is an executioner full of evil.
But now in our own camp, he is a good big brother who has no secrets and sincerely helps everyone grow. Do you understand that poisonous people and other things are purely nonsense, and slander can be held legally responsible?
After Liu Bei finished sighing, he bowed his hand to Lu Bu again:
"Please also say thank you first."
"Don't worry, I promise to bring the message to... From now on, we will be on the same team. If you have any questions, I can tell you. Anyway, Mr. Wenhe always likes to speculate when he has nothing to do."
This video ended, and Li Yu played the next one.
Judging from the default file number, this should have been taken a few hours later.
It should be said that Cao Cao's marching speed is still acceptable, but speed is not always a good thing. Sometimes, the faster you run, the faster you die.
After waiting for a while, when Cao Cao's vanguard troops were approaching Lu Bu, Jia Xu took the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Cao Xing:
"Fire!"
Soon, a thunder-like sound of artillery suddenly sounded, and the artillery shells accurately landed near the Chinese army. Cao Cao's men were attacked and fled in all directions. Some people even knelt down and kowtowed to the sky.
There was a group of cavalry under Cao Cao. They were about to assemble to charge into battle for fear of getting dumped. On the hillside next to them, a bunch of fireworks hit the cavalry accurately.
When the fireworks exploded, the cavalry's horses were startled and scattered in all directions.
Cao Jun, who was originally high-spirited, suddenly collapsed, and cries for mercy could not be heard.
Zhang Fei looked at this scene and said blankly:
"It feels simpler than lawn mowing games... These fireworks and firecrackers can actually be used in this way. Sir, can you assemble some for us in the future?"
Li Yu smiled and agreed:
"Don't worry, you can get whatever you want."
The next step was just like the rehearsal when assigning tasks. Groups of well-equipped Bingzhou troops entered the battlefield and began to divide and surround Cao's army. Those who stubbornly resisted were killed on the spot, and those who surrendered had their weapons collected and escorted out of the battlefield.
Lu Bu had seen enough of the show, got on his horse, held Fang Tian's painted halberd and chased forward, looking for Cao A'ao.
Finally, when I was about to run out of the encirclement, I saw Xu Rong chasing Ah Ma on horseback. Dian Wei was following behind like a groom carrying the Mo Dao. Although the armor and Mo Dao weighed more than fifty kilograms, Dian Wei was running at lightning speed. , walking as fast as flying.
Lu Bu deliberately stopped to adjust the focus, and only then did Li Yu see Cao Cao's appearance clearly.
He was short in stature and average in appearance. He was lying on the horse and running for his life in a hurry. He was in as much embarrassment as he wanted.
As he was running, a strong man in armor suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab in front, holding a spear in his hand. He rushed towards Xu Rong as soon as he appeared:
"The thief will not harm my lord!"
Lu Bu in the video deliberately made the red rabbit horse move more smoothly, and slowly added like a commentator:
"Xu Rong can indeed fish out Xiahou Dun. Next, is the moment when the gears of fate rotate rapidly. Please wait and see!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Dun rushed to Xu Rong.
"Well done!"
Dian Wei put down the mask of his armor, held up the Mo Dao with both hands, and using both feet, he rushed towards Xiahou Dun. Just when the horse's head was about to hit him, the Mo Dao fell suddenly.
"ha!"
Following Dian Wei's loud shout, Mo Dao slashed forward. Xiahou Dun raised his spear to block, but the barrel of the spear broke instantly. Mo Dao split Xiahou Dun's head open, then his body, and finally did not even let go of the horse's body. Pass.
This powerful and heavy sword not only frightened Cao Cao and almost fell off his horse, but also dumbfounded the soldiers in his own camp.
On the intercom, Cao Xing, who had been holding it in for a long time, watched this scene on the top of the slope and murmured:
"Damn, I thought the artillery was the most popular, but I didn't expect Mo Dao to be so strong... General, can I follow General Gao in the trap?"
The senior officials of the Bingzhou Army all knew that Gao Shun, who was about to return to the army, would select personnel from the entire army and form a heavy infantry with infantry armor + mo sword - the trap camp.
Everyone didn't take being trapped in the camp seriously at first. What role could a thousand-man troops play on a large battlefield as cruel as a meat grinder?
But now seeing Dian Wei's amazing operation, everyone's breath was stagnant. Such a team is simply the god of death on the battlefield. If they can join in, it will definitely be super popular.
Liu Bei outside the video also saw his eyes light up:
"Is this Mo Dao suitable for Water Margin and Yue World?"
Li Yu shook his head:
"It's not suitable. This thing is fine against light armored cavalry, but it's not good enough to deal with heavy armored cavalry. The main equipment of Yue Fei's Beiwei Army is giant axes and sledgehammers. They can directly chop the horse's legs or hit them through heavy armor. , the formation-breaking effect is very outstanding.”
The armor is getting thicker and thicker, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to break through the defense.
However, the cheapest way to deal with heavy armored cavalry is Molotov cocktails.
When the enemy is dead, the armor can be pulled off, repaired, and reused.
"Yuan Rang!"
In the video, Cao Cao is crying and running for his life. Although his surname is Cao, he has more affection for the Xiahou clan. Now the eldest brother in the clan has been hacked like this. He can't even help collect the body. He can only act like They were scurrying around like headless flies.
Lu Bu rode up to Xiahou Dun's body, took a close-up of it, and said apologetically:
"In the original work, you were blinded by Cao Xing and mocked by Mi Heng as a perfect general. I thought I would give you a whole body this time, but I didn't expect Lao Dian to be too cruel. I'm sorry...don't throw up, you guys. Contain the body and find a coffin to contain it."
While making arrangements, Zhang Liao's questioning voice came from the intercom:
"If we find traces of Cao Cao, should we kill him?"
Lu Bu held the walkie-talkie and asked:
"Who else besides Cao Cao?"
"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Xia Houyuan... they were separated just now, and now they are finally together again."
Lu Bu issued the order:
"Pick a general from the Cao family to kill. You can choose the details yourself. If Xiahou Dun is dead, let one of the Cao family accompany him. We are all very particular people, and a bowl of water should be balanced."
As for Cao Cao, he cannot die for the time being. With him around, the princes of the Central Plains can be in chaos. Otherwise, the Yuan brothers will divide the world... Well, just think of it as putting a catfish in the fish pond.
When they are fattened, they can be fished out with a net to eat the meat.
Lu Bu inspected the results of the battle on horseback. There were prisoners of Ah Hao's defeated soldiers everywhere, and there were countless discarded armor and weapons.
Unfortunately, these weapons were too bad. Lu Fengxian, who was used to steel weapons, looked down upon them and planned to give them to Zi Shou to improve the combat effectiveness of Yin Shang soldiers.
While walking, I received a report from Zhang Liao:
"I led the cavalry to kill Cao Chun and wounded Cao Hong... Do I still need to continue the pursuit?"
"No, come back and clean the battlefield. Gather all the soldiers, armor and weapons. Look at Cao's army's baggage. If there is food, we will also send it to Xingyang."
"Here!"
Then, there were the voices of other generals on the intercom, especially Xu Rong, who kept making post-war deployments from a high place. Occasionally, a drone buzzed overhead, monitoring all movements on the battlefield.
At the end of the video, Liu Bei remained silent for a long time:
"I didn't expect walkie-talkies to be so useful on the battlefield. The power of artillery and fireworks cannot be underestimated. If paired properly, it can be better than thousands of troops!"
Today, if Cao Cao had ten thousand people fighting with real swords and spears, he could win, but it would never be so easy.
The reason why Ah Ma was beaten to a pulp and the battle ended quickly was because the early shells and fireworks scared Cao's army out of fear. Neither the cavalry nor the infantry could organize an effective attack.
Guan Yu sighed:
"If I had had the three major war artifacts, walkie-talkies, telescopes, and drones, I would have been able to hit Xudu and welcome back the Han Emperor!"
Although drones in ancient times could only be manually operated within visual range, just climbing up and telescope could expand the detection range to ten kilometers away.
At this distance, many deployments can be done.
If Laoguan had had this thing back then, even if he was defeated in Maicheng, he would have been able to detect the ambush by Ma Zhong and others in advance and avoid it.
Li Yu copied the video material and returned the memory card to Lu Bu:
"Is the next step going to be a retreat to the west?"
Lu Bu skillfully installed it on the action camera and reformatted the memory card:
"Wait a few more days for Xu Huang to arrive before leaving, and then slowly retreat westward. When we reach Chang'an, we will start looking for an opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo."
Before taking action, Dong Zhuo must be encouraged to get rid of the disloyal courtiers and aristocratic families in the city as much as possible. This can be regarded as Grand Master Dong's last act of glory.
If everything goes well, we can still catch a wave of farming.
First plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes to cope with the famine, and at the same time streamline the Xiliang army and start working on farmland and infrastructure, so that Chang'an City will have a new look in a short time.
The war was over, but there were still many things to finish. Lu Bu left in a hurry without staying for long.
Li Yu wrote the names of Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun on the paper, and circled them respectively. Without these two favorite generals, Cao Ah Ma's future development should not be affected, right?
I hope he can withstand the attack from brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and not let the Central Plains settle down early.
Otherwise, both sides will preserve their strength and recuperate, and future fights will be somewhat troublesome.
Well, you can let Liu Xie continue to issue edicts to the subordinates of both sides and recruit them to serve in Chang'an. As long as the official position is high enough, I don't believe those civil servants and generals can bear it.
The context of the Three Kingdoms world is getting clearer and clearer. Once we get back in touch with Sun Facai, we can plan the construction matters. We can also try to transport some large equipment there.
The next day, Li Yu returned from running and was about to wash his face and go to the restaurant to eat when he happened to meet Mu Guiying who was holding a dish and eating:
"Sir, you are back. I have something important to tell you."
"What's up?"
Li Yu saw several residents wearing Hanfu eating in the restaurant, so he simply led the girl to the pavilion in the yard.
Mu Guiying sat down on the railing of the pavilion:
"In the past two days, people from Xixia have come to Muke Village with gold and want to buy some fireworks... Do you think I can sell them?"
Holy shit, the news spread so fast, even the Xixia people knew about it!
The courtiers of the Song Dynasty were really good, they were so timely when selling news, and they were awesome for being so scheming!
Li Yu asked angrily and funny:
"Did they bring much gold?"
"It's quite a lot, at least ten kilograms. Sir, are we doing this business?"
Li Yu glanced at Mu Guiying with hatred:
"What do you do? What do you do?"
"Me? I am Mu Meimei, the embodiment of justice and beauty... No, I am a bandit!"
"Since he is a bandit, why don't he grab the gold when he sees it?"
Marshal Mu's eyes lit up, and he hurried to the front door of the B&B with the dish in his hand, and then disappeared into the air...
