Chapter 56 Is it a donkey or a horse?

The equestrian and archery training in the next few days were even more childish for Lu Bu. After he once again demonstrated his superb riding and archery skills, Sima Liu Jing noticed him and heard that he was alone the day he arrived.

He was even more surprised when he knocked down a soldier, so he transferred Lu Bu to his side as a personal guard.

For others, this is a step to the top, but for Lu Bu, it is no different from being a top soldier. In the dream, he was serving as Dong Zhuo's personal guard. Although the Xiliang generals around Dong Zhuo rejected him, they still had to meet him.

I nodded and said hello to him. He really didn't look down on a mere Sima now.

Lu Bu wanted to refuse, but then he thought that General Wei Qing had also been a groom, and Han Xin had also been humiliated, so now he was only allowed to serve as a personal guard, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

Moreover, by following Liu Jing, he could know the news about Dong Zhuo at the first time.

Through his observations over the past two years, Lu Bu discovered that although his life was completely different from his dreams, many people and events in his dreams were almost real, such as the Liangzhou Rebellion that occurred the winter before last.

According to the dream, His Majesty will die in another three years, and Dong Zhuo will definitely march into Luoyang. However, this time the rebels have returned to Jincheng, Liangzhou. According to Li Su, Zhang Wen sent six groups to pursue them this time.

Five of the rebel armies have been defeated, and now only Dong Zhuo's group remains.

According to this situation, as long as Dong Zhuo is undefeated and has one or two small victories, he can return home. As for relying on him to completely pacify the rebels, it is almost impossible. Even if it could be done, Dong Zhuo would not do that.

It's stupid to waste all your strength on this.

Therefore, the counter-rebellion may be over soon, and he must perform a meritorious service before the end of the war. Firstly, he can show his face in front of Dong Zhuo, and secondly, he can make his meritorious service a crime.

The opportunity that Lu Bu was waiting for soon came. In the morning, he was accompanying Liu Jing on an inspection tour of the military camp, when he suddenly saw a horseman rushing outside the camp.

"Report——"

Before the visitor came close, he shouted loudly, "Liu Sima, the general's troops are besieged by tens of thousands of Qiang and Huns in Wangyuan County. The situation is critical."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and his lips moved. He was about to ask in detail, but realized that he was just a guard now and closed his mouth again.

Liu Jing's face changed slightly and he asked urgently, "Why are you surrounded? What's the situation now? General, can I lead the rescue force?"

The scout said, "The general caught up with a group of rebels in Wangyuan a few days ago. After repelling them, he wanted to lead the army back. Unexpectedly, another group of rebels intercepted them on the way back. The group in front of them came back again, and the general was killed.

We were besieged in the middle, and before my subordinates came back to report, I didn't see the general sending anyone to break out and ask for help."

This scout was sent by Liu Jing to find out the news, and could only see Dong Zhuojun trapped on the periphery.

Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's explore again!"

He stopped patrolling, turned back to his tent, took out the map of Liangzhou and started looking at it.

Lu Bu's eyes followed the map. Liangzhou was not as flat as Wuyuan. It was mostly mountains and valleys with a single marching route. The Qiang and Huns must be more familiar with the terrain than the Han army. The enemy only needed to occupy some major crossings.

, it was easy to surround the Han army.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Dong Zhuo's retreat was blocked. Lu Bu thought that Dong Zhuo asked Liu Jing to lead the troops to garrison Anping just to prevent this situation!

"Sima wants to send troops to relieve the siege." Lu Bu asked.

Liu Jing glanced at him and shook his head, "There was just news over there. The general didn't ask me to lead the troops. Before he left, he ordered that these four thousand people should not leave Anding easily."

Lu Bu said, "The people who came back to report the news are the detective horses sent here. It may be difficult for them to break out of the encirclement and convey military orders."

"It still doesn't work. If we are ambushed on the way, the general's retreat will be completely cut off. Moreover, there are rebels in Anping who are ready to move. I can't leave."

"Then why don't you kill the bandit army in An Ding first to relieve your worries?" Lu Bu didn't understand.

Liu Jing explained, "You didn't know something when you first arrived. The Qiang people are fierce and strong. Most of the young men can go to the battlefield just by throwing down their hoes. Moreover, they make good use of the terrain to move around and are very good at ambushes and raids, so they can beat them."

Just fight. If you can't beat him, then go into the mountains. No matter how elite your soldiers are, they can't do anything to him. It's not that the general doesn't want to suppress him, but he just can't suppress him."

"Four of the other five groups sent by Zhang Sikong were defeated in this way, and one group was cut off from the food route, so they had no choice but to retreat. As long as this group of rebels retreated to Liangzhou, the imperial court basically had nothing to do with them.

."

Liu Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. Based on my understanding of the general, he will definitely have a way to break out and come back safely."

Lu Bu naturally knew that Dong Zhuo would not die, but he only had this chance to show off his performance. If Dong Zhuo came back, he would definitely retreat to Youfufeng. It would not be easy for a small guard like him to meet the general. Even if he did, he might not be able to do anything.

Be a guard.

Lu Bu's battles were mostly head-to-head confrontations, and he was neither good at nor disdainful of using intrigues. If it were in the past, he would have sent troops resolutely with bravery, but after studying so many military books and history books with Zhang Mo, and thinking about his life in his dream, he still

I have learned a lot of experience and lessons and will no longer act impulsively.

He had never been exposed to this Qiang people's fighting method before. Even in his dream, he had experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, but had never fought a battle like this. It was indeed a bit tricky.

However, his purpose was not to wipe out all these Qiang people, but to successfully lead his troops to Wangyuan to relieve Dong Zhuo.

"General, can you allocate some troops to your subordinates? I will help the general break out. I will be careful on the way and will never give the enemy a chance to ambush."

Liu Jing looked at him with some surprise and said disapprovingly, "There are tens of thousands of enemy troops. Even if you can reach Wangyuan, what's the use of leading a few hundred people? Besides, you don't have any military rank. If you fail,

You have lost men and horses and made no achievements. I am afraid that the general will not spare you afterwards, and even I will be implicated. Let's wait and see."

Although he knew that Lu Bu was brave, marching and fighting was not based on personal martial arts. In Liu Jing's understanding, Lu Bu was just a boy from a poor family who had read the art of war. He had never led an army before, and he could not trust him with his troops anyway.

.

Liu Jing's concerns were not unreasonable. If it were him, he would not dare to hand over soldiers to a newcomer who had just joined the camp.

Speaking of Liu Jing being able to talk so much to his new recruit and treating him well enough, Lu Bu took a step back and said, "Then give me a camp and just treat him as a scout."

Lu Bu only brought this group to check for news. If he really wanted to charge and kill the enemy, the presence of these people would not matter to him.

"Do you really want to go?"

Lu Bu nodded firmly.

Liu Jing looked at him with an inexplicable expression. This man was not of high birth and was not very old, but he always exuded a kind of power inadvertently, as if he had been in a high position for a long time.

He could see that this person was not just a creature in the pond, and would rise to prominence sooner or later, so he was willing to tell him so much just to build a good relationship.

"Forget it, in that case, you can take a team of people to see the situation."
