General Lu Bu looked at these generals and reminded them once again, which was also his final statement: "I want to remind the generals that so far, our enemies have not exceeded the king's prior expectations. They are blindly conceited, but they don't know that the king has already obeyed.

As expected, he made careful arrangements, recruited a large number of private servants, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of infantry.

Equipped with our cavalry corps to complete battlefield supplies, this is a state affairs and military feat unprecedented in ancient and modern times. It is also the key to ensuring that our army can cross the desert and attack thousands of miles. Therefore, I want to select a general to command these infantry and

Private horses, set up a train of trains north of the Yellow River, as a mobile base to ensure the cavalry regiment's operations!"

General Lu Bu looked at Huang Zhong, and then ordered sternly: "General Huang Zhong, do this!" Huang Zhong was stunned, because he had been holding on to him and wanted to be a forward general, but now

It was true that Lu Bu arranged an idle errand. Of course, he was full of dissatisfaction. He replied hurriedly and dissatisfied: "General, I was originally the vanguard general!"

General Lu Bu stood up and said to Huang Zhong: "I have already said that the battlefield is changing rapidly."

When Huang Zhong heard Lu Bu's words, he became angry instantly, but he still suppressed his anger and asked: "I am willing to take on the important task of the vanguard general and bring the head of Yuan Shao's dog thief to the general!"

General Lu Bu fired back again: "General Huang, the army is deep into Jizhou and fighting in the enemy's hinterland. Someone must provide a steady supply of food, water, and grass."

Huang Zhong became anxious and shouted: "I, Huang Zhong, have been fighting the enemy since I was sixteen years old, and now I have fought more than seventy battles. This time I was lucky enough to meet the Ming Dynasty King Chu, and follow the world's God of War, General Lu Bu, to attack head-on."

Yuan Shao's main force in Jizhou participated in this great decisive battle, but the general asked me..."

General Lu Bu replied with a persuasive tone: "It is precisely because General Huang is the senior that he should have a deep understanding of the key points of the king's planning of this battle. Stop talking, this is the general's order!"

Seeing Lu Bu's eyes emitting murderous intent, this murderous intent shocked everyone's breath away, and Lu Bu's Chinese army tent suddenly became quiet.

All the eyes of these generals were fixed on Huang Zhong. They wanted to see this general's reaction and General Lu Bu's methods and authority.

Huang Zhong's throat rolled, and he finally sighed helplessly: "Okay! I, Huang Zhong, will obey the general's orders!"

After General Lu Bu heard this, he once again did what he did, and said excitedly: "This is great. With you, General Huang Zhong, protecting the life supply line of our Lu Bu Chu Army, I feel relieved. You Huang

Our eight thousand cavalry are still under the command of the general and used to defend the safety of our supply lines!"

The tears in Huang Zhong's eyes seemed to be about to fall in an instant, and then he resisted the tears and replied: "Yes!"

After deciding who was responsible for the baggage, the entire Lu Bu Army began to prepare for war, and at this time General Huang Zhong began to work on his own logistics support.

The supply line from Guandu City to Yecheng.

The baggage train consisting of infantry and private horses marched toward the depths of the area north of the Yellow River.

Standing nearby were Huang Zhong and his two lieutenants.

One of the lieutenants was Huang Zhong's son Huang She, and the other was the general Wang Zhi who had just returned from Luoyang to Huang Zhong.

Huang She wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then cursed loudly and said: "General Lu Bu wants me to set off early, suffer all the hardships first, and build a supply corridor so that those bastard Chen Daobing can step on what we are waiting for."

Corpse to build merit!”

Wang Zhi joked but also said helplessly: "Who said we are stepmothers?"

Huang Zhong's eyes widened and he yelled angrily: "What nonsense are you two talking about? We are executing the king's strategic plan and have something to do with General Lu Bu? Come on, do it for me. If you mess up, I will kill you.

you!"

The two lieutenants finally made a helpless choice, and then began to quickly urge the baggage troops to move forward.

The mighty train of baggage stretched silently toward the north of the Yellow River on this dim night...

Huang Zhong's hard work also prepared time for General Lu Bu's hussars to set off, and these hussars were all ready to go in Lu Bu's camp.

In the camp of Lu Bu's army

The camp was filled with hussars ready to go.

General Zang Ba inspected the cavalry, and seemed to be sure of it. He held the long sword in his waist tightly, and then suddenly stopped himself, but he paused for a moment, and then took a deep breath,

Then he walked to General Lu Bu's tent.

At this time, General Lu Bu was resting after several days of hard work.

The guarding soldiers saw General Zang Ba coming, and before Lu Bu went to bed, he told Lu Bu that if Zang Ba came to see him, he would pay directly, so the soldiers did not stop him.

In the big tent, General Lu Bu was sleeping simply covered with a felt.

Zang Ba, who was entering the tent, hesitated to come forward and disturb him, and wanted to withdraw.

Just when Zang Ba was about to push out, General Lu Bu's voice rang, and he asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Zang Ba saw that Lu Bu was awake, and then reported: "The time has come for the cavalry to set off, general!"

After Lu Bu took off the blanket on his body, he slowly sat up and asked, "Have you rested yet?"

Zang Ba replied: "Yes, the horses have been fed with night grass and the people have eaten midnight snacks. Huang Zhong's baggage column has been setting out for a day. The vanguard is later than the baggage. This is the first time in the history of our Chu army.

."

General Lu Bu had already stood up at this time, and then slowly walked towards Zang Ba and said: "What, you are not used to it yet? Since you have used Huang Zhong, you must use him fully, that is, you must rely on his fatigue to save cavalry in combat.

You must know that once you cross the Ye River, you will be the one who sees blood on your sword. Don’t feel any sense of shame. I have already planned that you can get a few sleeps on the way across the Ye River."

When he finished speaking, General Lu Bu was already dressed in armor and carrying a sword.

Zang Ba and Lu Bu have been brothers for many years and have been superiors and subordinates for many years, so the two sides talk about everything. He talked about Huang Zhong again, and reminded him again: "After all, Huang Zhong is over sixty, so we can compete with him for credit."

,really……"

Lu Bu looked at the general who was worried about others, and retorted in a warning tone: "Don't be too confident, Zang Ba. I want you to be the vanguard general to make you fight desperately. You are not fighting against Huang Zhong, but against Yuan Shao's elite Jizhou cavalry."

, you have to take the credit from Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers! If you can fight, it's good, but if you can't fight, I'm sorry, you should go back and continue to stand guard in front of the Xuchang Palace!"

After General Lu Bu finished speaking, he walked out of the tent.

When Zang Ba saw Lu Bu walking out of the tent, he quickly adjusted his armor, and then followed him out with his sword.

General Lu Bu shouted sharply from outside the tent: "Quickly call Zhang Jia, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Bao, tell them all to come over..."

Lu Bu led these generals and these hussars to draw a beautiful pincer-shaped offensive on the map.

Lu Bu's army led 50,000 cavalry as the main force, with more than 50,000 light and heavy cavalry attached, a total of 100,000, and marched towards Yecheng, while Chen Dao led 50,000 elite troops all the way to Youzhou, while Zhang

Xiu and Ma Chao's regiment also set out for Bingzhou. The three parties formed three sharp knives and inserted them directly into the battlefield in the north.

In this way, in 201 AD, a strategic decisive battle with extremely far-reaching influence that decided the fate of the Central Plains and even the world came quietly on this ordinary night. Two powerful Chu armies would first cross the Yellow River, and then separate thousands of miles apart.

After running for thousands of kilometers and then fighting with Yuan Shao's elite main force waiting for him, no matter who wins or loses, the significance of the battle and its classic style will surely enter today's military history textbooks. This is the famous

Pingyuan War."

The vanguard general appointed by General Lu Bu was Zang Ba. Zang Ba waved his spear and commanded the hussars to lead the way. These more than 10,000 hussars were all fierce and unparalleled in the world.

At dusk, General Zhang Bao of Lu Bu's army attacked for the first time to the outskirts of Yecheng.

Under the banner with the character "Zhang", the powerful Chu army's cavalry formation seems to have emerged from the ground, waiting in strict formation.

It was in sharp contrast to the Yuan Jun on the opposite side who had also been prepared for the battle.

In the opponent's Yuan Shao army formation, Yuan Shao saw more and more Chu army hussars starting to gather on the opposite side. He turned his horse's head and ran back.

Yuan Shao, who was reining in his horse, looked over...

Yuan Shao finally reined in his horse and said: "If we don't defeat the Chu army when they are tired, we will have no chance in the future."

Zhang Nan, the general next to Yuan Shao, pointed to the Chu army in front and said: "But the Chu army does not look like it has come from a long distance, nor does it look like a tired army."

Yuan Shao looked forward, then sighed to Zhang Nan: "Yes, although they fight in small numbers, they are quite organized..."

At this time, a liaison officer came on horseback and reported loudly to Yuan Shao: "General, we have found the main force of the Chu army moving on both the left and right wings of our army!"

Yuan Shao's face turned pale, and then he asked with confusion: "What..."

The liaison officer reported again: "The Chu army is obviously trying to encircle us!"

Yuan Shao, who looked desperate, cursed at his deputy general Zhang Nan: "Our army originally wanted to take advantage of the Chu army's exhaustion to attack and complete the decisive battle of Yecheng in one fell swoop. But there are so many Chu troops and the soldiers and horses are so strong. How can we be like this?"

It’s the army that has just crossed the Yellow River thousands of miles and overcome many obstacles! Where is Han Qiong, where is Han Qiong’s reserve team..."

Jushu next to him suggested: "General, since the Chu army is not in the state of a tired army now, let's prepare a trap for the Lu Bu army on the opposite side."

After Yuan Shao calmed down his anger, he shook the riding crop in his hand and said: "We must give Lu Bu an unexpected blow. This time we must hit Lu Bu hard."

Yuan Shaoyue said that he felt more and more that it was necessary to hold a pre-war meeting. Yuan Shao immediately called all the former generals into his army to hold an emergency temporary meeting.

Yuan Shao, who had just taken his seat, tightly held the long sword in his hand, and then took the lead in speaking: "Generals, the Chu army sent a hundred thousand cavalry to fight to the death with the Jizhou cavalry. In this battle, whether to fight or not, and how to fight, please tell me

Generals, please talk about your opinions."

After Yuan Shao just finished speaking, the generals in the audience began to talk one after another.
