The time has gradually entered autumn, and the strong and cold autumn wind blows from the Weishui River. Fallen leaves are everywhere in Chang'an City, creating a desolate scene.

A few miles away, you can vaguely see the city head of Chang'an City. Standing there are soldiers with disheveled hair and wearing cloth jackets and armors. Those soldiers are standing still, even during the garrison season.

, they were still joking and pushing each other, and no one was doing anything right.

From the perspective of a normal soldier, this kind of army is just a bunch of rabble, but in the eyes of Lu Bu, who was not far away, it was completely different.

"Xiliang soldiers." Lu Bu, who was on Chitu's horse, opened his mouth and spat out these three words.

These three very ordinary words, but when Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian and others heard them behind him, it was like being sentenced to death.

Escape from Luoyang and stationed in Chang'an was the last hope of this group of Bingzhou people.

But this last hope was finally shattered when Pang De, Ma Teng, Yan Xing and others entered Chang'an.

The current situation of Lu Bu's army is that of a wolf in front and a tiger in the rear. If Chang'an cannot be taken, then they have no place to stand. It is not impossible to grab a piece of land in Hongnong to station troops, but if Liu Qi sends troops to catch up later, they will still end up dead.

.

Compared with Chang'an, which had been occupied by Fa Zheng in advance, the successive military incidents in the next two days sent all the generals of Lu Bu's army directly into hell.

Yuan Shao's army was defeated by Liu Qi.

It is true that there were many special reasons for Liu Qi's defeat of Yuan Shao's army. The most important reason was that Hebei's military supplies had a big problem. However, the generals of Lu Bu's army generally did not pay too much attention to these matters.

Because they are all pure martial artists from Bingzhou, they have only one focus.

That means Yuan Shao's army was really defeated by Liu Qigan!

What does this mean? It means that the Jingzhou Army is really too powerful!!

After defeating Yuan Shao, will their next target be their own side?

This is really not true.

At this moment, if Liu Qi, carrying the power of defeating Yuan Shao, comes west to fight his own side, will Bingzhou's army really be able to fight against such a powerful army?

In the tent in the military camp, Lu Bu sat in the main seat, and below stood a group of powerful generals from the Bingzhou Army.

No one spoke, and a strange atmosphere spread in the air. A huge stone was weighing on everyone's heart, and their chests felt extremely heavy and uncomfortable.

Although the war has not yet come, all the generals in Bingzhou know that after Yuan Shao's defeat, the Jingzhou army led by Liu Qi will definitely attack their side.

Can you survive the fight?

Can't beat it.

With no territory and no replenishment of military supplies, how could Lu Bu's army, which was like a wandering army, defeat the Jingzhou army, which had now become the strongest army in the world?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Bu took a deep breath and came up with a suggestion.

Although he was in a heavy mood at the moment, as the leader of an army, Lu Bu could not let his subordinates see his cowardice.

He still maintained a arrogant look on his face, glanced around the generals in the tent, and said: "Chang'an was occupied by Liangzhou soldiers, and now Liu Boyu has defeated Yuan Shao. At this time, how should we choose the path of advance and retreat..."

"What do you think of me?"

Lu Bu almost said this through gritted teeth, hoping that everyone present could give him an explanation.

At this moment, if the people in the tent are Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao and other big bosses, or Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Pang Ji, Xu You and other famous officials, I think they will definitely rush to meet them.

Let the lord give you some guidance and learn from hundreds of schools of thought to solve your doubts.

But now...

Looking up, the people surrounding Lu Bu included Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, etc.

If Lu Bu is said to be brave but without any strategy, then similar to Cheng Lian, people like Hao Meng may not even be considered "brave". At best, they are without courage and strategy.

Therefore, when Lu Bu asked them for their political opinions, he was simply playing the lute to an ox. In fact, he himself was the "intellectual ceiling" of the Bingzhou Army, and he could fully implement it.

Faced with the question of General Lu Bu, who coexists both "force" and "intelligence", everyone lowered their heads.

I have to say that although the political level of these people under Lu Bu is not good, they still have a good idea in their hearts and will not say anything that should not be said.

Lu Bu was already ready to listen to your words as if they were his own words.

But it's a pity that these people didn't even give Lu Bu this chance.

When he was with them, Lu Bu felt melancholy in his heart, as if there were three people in a company, there must be three of them.

"Alas~~!" Lu Bu sighed longly: "Are we going to have to wait here to die?"

Song Xian stood up and said to Lu Bu: "General, the soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us. Now that the emperor's body is still in our hands, even if Liu Qi wants to attack us, he will still worry about the overall situation."

Lu Bu rubbed his brows and said, "The problem is, we are short of food."

Wei Xu stood up and said: "Marquis Wen does not have to worry. If you are worried about the shortage of food and fodder, you can take people to search for prisoners in various villages to subsidize military supplies."

"Yes, Marquis Wen, Liu Qi is coming... let's fight him!"

"So what if the Jing people defeated Yuan Shao? If we face them head-on, our Wolf Cavalry may not lose to them!"

"Marquis Wen, fight!"

"war!"

After all, most people encouraged Lu Bu and Liu Qi to fight directly.

If it had been the original situation, Lu Bu might have been like them and made up his mind to fight Liu Qi.

But now that he has been around the court for a long time, Lu Bu's reckless aura has faded a lot.

For some things, he would be somewhat concerned about the consequences.

Facing these people who were noisy and insisting on fighting Liu Qi, Lu Bu waved his hand to let them go down first, while he himself sat in the handsome tent with a sullen face and thought carefully.

Until someone outside the tent came to report that it was Gao Shun who wanted to see me.

Gao Shun was sent by Lu Bu to collect grain nearby a few days ago, and he just came back.

Lu Bu hurriedly invited him into the commander's tent.

"Zi Ying, how is the harvesting of grain and fodder going?"

Gao Shun's face was calm and he just said a number: "It's less than a thousand stones."

"I can't hold on for long." Lu Bu sighed helplessly.

"Chang'an City was occupied by Liangzhou people?"

Lu Bu nodded: "Yes, it seems that Liu has been prepared for it. He has made up his mind from the beginning about where we will go. Now that there is not enough food and grass, and there is no place to stay in Guanzhong, where should we go? I am thinking

I am still undecided, and all the generals advised me to compete with Liu Qi, but I am still undecided."

Among Lu Bu's gangsters, Gao Shun is considered the smartest one.

"Marquis Wen, it's definitely not possible to fight hard. Yuan Shao has been defeated. How long can we hold on against Liu Qi? Even if we win for a while, can we still destroy Liu Qi? If we can't destroy him, from now on our army will fight with Liu Qi.

, it’s a deadly feud.”

Lu Bu felt a little headache.

It doesn’t matter if you fight, or if you don’t fight.

How to play this?

"you mean?"

Gao Shun expressed his point of view very pertinently: "After Wenhou and Luoyang's incident, the world spread rumors that Cao Cao was the culprit who killed His Majesty. At the same time, Liu Qi accused Yuan Shaonai of being the culprit behind it, but for Wenhou and Tai

Fu, but he didn’t mention a word.”

Lu Bu blinked and thought to himself.

It seems that this is really what happened!
