After all, Dong Zhuo had been dealing with the Liangzhou rebels for several years. Emperor Ling was still not at ease when he suddenly asked Dong Zhuo to leave Fufeng County and go to Bingzhou. However, last time Dong Zhuo made great contributions by killing two rebels, the reward given by Emperor Ling was not enough.

In place, I felt I was indebted to him. This time Dong Zhuo took the initiative to go to Bingzhou to quell the Xiongnu rebellion. There was really no reason not to agree.

Emperor Ling followed Jian Shuo's suggestion and asked Dong Zhuo to leave 10,000 troops and horses in Fufeng County first, and then transfer them all to Bingzhou after the rebels in Liangzhou were killed.

Dong Zhuo also understood this decree. After all, he had been guarding the western gate of Chang'an and could not suddenly withdraw all of Bingzhou. However, the problem was that the Liangzhou rebels had not made any movement so far. Who knows when these people would come to attack Kou Sanfu.

If the rebels have been huddled in Liangzhou for the past two years, wouldn't their ten thousand soldiers and horses have to stay in Yi County forever? It's okay for a short time, but if it takes a long time, these people will most likely be taken away by others.

Dong Zhuo hesitated again and again, so he could only take the post of governor of Bingzhou first but did not take up the post for the time being. He appointed Lu Bu as the captain to take charge of the military affairs of Bingzhou and put an end to the Xiongnu rebellion in the south.

Although Dong Zhuo intended to promote Lü Bu, he could not really trust him completely. This time when he went to Bingzhou, Lü Bu only had 2,000 men with him. He sent Duan Xuan as his deputy general with 2,000 men to follow him. Lü Bu had five men under his command.

In the army, only Wu Dan and Han Lai were allowed to follow them. Gao Shun, Li Su, Li Li, and even Wei Xu all stayed in Yi County. The remaining two thousand soldiers and horses left by Lu Bu in Yi County were temporarily commanded by Li Su.

Lu Bu felt that as long as he was allowed to lead troops to merge with the state, he had no objection to who should follow and who should stay. After arranging his troops and horses, he set off with four thousand people.

Half a month later, Lu Bu led five hundred vanguard cavalry with fast horses to the Bingzhou Army camp in Taiyuan County.

"Last General Zhang Liao, see Lieutenant Lu!"

Upon hearing the arrival of Lü Bu, Zhang Liao hurried out of the camp and saluted Lü Bu with fists in his hands. The young man's still immature face was filled with unconcealable joy.

Lu Bu dismounted and held up his arms, "Wen Yuan doesn't need to be polite."

Behind Zhang Liao, other generals of the Bingzhou Army who had heard the news also came out. Lu Bu showed everyone Dong Zhuo's seal as the governor of Bingzhou and Dong Zhuo's appointment letter appointing him as the captain to temporarily take charge of the military affairs of Bingzhou.

A few days ago, the Bingzhou Army received the imperial edict for Dong Zhuo to be appointed governor to quell the rebellion. Everyone looked at it one by one and saw that there was nothing wrong. They all bowed their hands and saluted, "See Lieutenant Lu!"

Zhang Liao said, "The army has sorted out the military tent for the captain. Do you want to raise the tent now?"

Lu Bu nodded and asked Han Lai to arrange his troops first. He followed the generals to the Chinese army's tent.

Many middle-level and high-level generals in the Bingzhou Army had heard about Captain Lu's past. When Captain Lu was angry because his hometown was massacred, he beheaded Yang Chuo, the leader of the Wuyuan border army, which made a big fuss. Later, Captain Lu

The captain became a fugitive. Hearing that he went to seek refuge with Dong Zhuo, he single-handedly killed the two rebel generals at Wangyuan in Liangzhou, thereby extinguishing his merits.

From these two incidents, we can see that Lieutenant Lu is definitely a fierce man, and since he was originally from Bingzhou, everyone does not dislike the leadership of Lu Bu, an air general.

The last time Lu Bu stayed in Yanmen for two months, he got to know Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Cheng Lian. They were convinced of Lu Bu's ability, so Lu Bu's first military expedition

The discussion atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Lu Bu was sitting on the main seat, while Zhang Liao and other Bingzhou generals were seated on the left and right. Behind the main seat, there was an enlarged map of Bingzhou.

After getting to know the other generals in Bingzhou, Zhang Liao, at Lu Bu's signal, stepped forward to report the military situation in Bingzhou.

"The Xiongnu rebels captured the entire Xihe County a month ago, and our Han troops were stationed in Wuyuan, Dingxiang, Shuofang, Yunzhong, and all the government offices in Shangjun were defeated. The northern part of Yanmen County was strong and Yin, and Pingcheng was also captured. The Xiongnu completely

With 50,000 soldiers, the next step is to attack Taiyuan County."

"In addition to these, the city of Shangdang, the eldest son of the Party, was captured by Baibo and Yuvluo's coalition forces more than a month ago."

Having said this, Zhang Liao lowered his head with some guilt, "We are incompetent. Not only can we not defend our Han territory, we can also not protect Lord Xingfu and Lord Zhang, causing them to die in battle..."

Lu Bu waved his hand, "This is not your fault. The Xiongnu were originally Han Dynasties, and their tribes are scattered in the five plains and in various counties in Yunzhong. It is understandable that you and others were unable to deal with this sudden rebellion."

He turned around and looked at the map, "Where is the main force of the Huns?"

Zhang Liao said, "In Lishi and Zhongyang counties of Xihe County, a few days ago, some cavalry detected that the vanguard team had set off and headed for Taiyuan County. In the south of Taiyuan, there are also 40,000 soldiers and horses of Baibo Army and Yu Fuluo.

Stationed in Changzi City, they had also attacked Jinyang before, but were later frightened back by Zhang Yan's troops in Heishan."

"Zhang Yan?" Lu Bu looked confused. Why did Zhang Yan want to protect Jinyang?

Zhang Liao nodded, "Well, this matter is indeed strange. If you think about it carefully later, maybe she persuaded Zhang Yan to help? And..."

Zhang Liao looked at the generals below and swallowed what he said.

A few days ago, Amo sent someone to tell him that she was going to lead troops to fight the Huns, but he was frightened. Although her band of thieves were powerful, they were small in number. This time, they were tens of thousands of Huns. She actually

Dare? Afterwards, he took the time to go to Jinyang himself. He originally wanted to persuade her not to come and join in the cooperation, but the girl was as stubborn as a donkey and wanted to drag her group of mountain bandits out for a walk. Zhang Liao had no choice but to give it to her.

A Han military flag.

Lu Bu knew that Zhang Liao was referring to Amo, and that Juyi Village was under Zhang Yan's command, so it was not impossible.

Zhang Liao added, "Although the Baibo army has been scared back for the time being, if the Xiongnu army invades, they may come back. Taiyuan County is surrounded by an army of 90,000 people, and I am annexing Yanmen, and the two counties of Taiyuan combined are only 5,000 people."

There are 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. Among these 30,000 infantry, there are still 20,000 county soldiers who are not engaged in actual combat and can only be used to defend the city."

Lu Bu knew the strength of Bingzhou's troops. Although there were only 50,000 fighting troops, with the 4,000 Xiliang troops he brought, there were nearly 20,000, which was enough to deal with the Xiongnu and Bai Bo.

After understanding the military situation, Lu Bu already had a strategic plan in mind. He looked at a fair-skinned and slightly fat general sitting at the head of Zhang Liao and shouted, "Hao Meng!"

"The end is here!" Hao Meng stood up and clasped his fists in response.

"You lead a thousand infantry and station them in Zhongdu County in the south of Taiyuan."

"promise!"

"Song Xian! You lead two thousand infantry to garrison Yangyi County."

"No!" Song Xian, who was not tall but strong-looking, stood up and responded.

Lu Bu then looked at the strong man with short beard and long arms sitting opposite Hao Meng and said, "Cao Xing! You lead a thousand cavalry to garrison Qi County. Qi County is in the middle of the capital and in the middle of Yangyi. Your duty is to coordinate these two parties at all times."

."

"Understood!" Cao Xing said, cupping his fists.

Although the Baibo Army had previously captured Zhongdu and other counties in the south of Taiyuan County, they failed to capture Jinyang because Zhang Mo borrowed Zhang Yan's name to intervene. The Baibo Army occupied several small counties to no avail, and after plundering them, they all retreated.

It’s time to go to the party.

Lu Bu finally said, "The main task of the three of you is to guard the southern defense line of Taiyuan. Before Duan Yan's Xiliang army arrives, you must not accept the battle at will, let alone attack on your own initiative."

Lu Bu could capture the Xiongnu's 50,000-strong army with just over 10,000 men. He did not intend to use Duan Yan's men, so it would be most appropriate to send him to the south to defend against the Baibo Army.

In fact, according to Lu Bu's current military strength, after wiping out the southern Xiongnu, he was fully capable of clearing out Bai Bo and Yu Fuluo in Shangdang County. However, Lu Bu's military order to Duan Xuan was only defensive. Before the death of Emperor Ling, the Bai Bo thieves and Yu Fuluo

Fu Luo still needs to be kept, so that Dong Zhuo will have an excuse to stay in Bingzhou in the future, and Lu Bu can also stay in Bingzhou after defeating the Southern Huns.

The southern defense line was arranged, and the Xiongnu army in the west was led by Lu Bu himself. The specific tactical arrangements could only be discussed before the battle. When all the generals in the army had retreated, Zhang Liao said angrily, "Brother, Amo also led troops a few days ago.
