"Five thousand dans of provisions has been sent by Yuan Gonglu!" Chen Gong reported to Lü Bu.
"Good!" Lü Bu nodded. Yuan Gonglu would not dare to give him less provisions. If Lü Bu said he would lend them, then he would definitely lend them.
"Yuan Gonglu also brought the hiding place of Chen Lan and Lei Bo!" Chen Gong wanted to say something but stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lü Bu asked.
"Ai!" Chen Gong sighed, "I'm afraid it's really not easy to fight! Bagong Mountain! These two people are hiding on Bagong Mountain with their troops! "
"Bagong Mountain?" Lü Bu had been traveling in the north since Luoyang. He had never been to Yangzhou. Therefore, he had no idea about Bagong Mountain that Chen Gong had mentioned.
"Bagong Mountain is also known as Shouchun Mountain! North Mountain! This mountain is the throat of Zhongzhou, the barrier of Jiangnan. Since ancient times, it has been a place for military strategists to fight for. Now, Chen Lan and Lei Bo have occupied this place. They can overlook Shouchun from high up and occupy a natural stronghold. Now, we know why Yuan Shu has been entrenched in Shouchun. It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but he can't. His every move is under the control of those two people! Once out of Shouchun, it will be really difficult to move! " It could be said that Yuan Gonglu regarded Lü Bu as a rescue. Even if Lü Bu did not ask to borrow provisions, Yuan Gonglu would probably send someone to ask for Lü Bu's help.
Lü Bu calmed down and did not speak.
If it was a normal counselor, he would have advised Lü Bu to go straight to Shouchun. Shouchun was much easier to fight than Bagong Mountain. Even if they did not go straight to Shouchun, they should just leave. Since Chen Lan and Lei Bo could occupy Bagong Mountain and beat Old Yuan, they must have strength. It was definitely not a good idea to use the Lvbu's Army to fight with them.
However, Chen Gong was not a normal counselor. To be exact, Lü Bu was not a normal lord.
"They're just two clowns! If you can't even solve this, how can you talk about great ambitions? " Lü Bu said indifferently, as if Chen Lan and Lei Bo of Bagong Mountain had already become fish on the chopping board. "Tell the army to prepare dinner at midnight. We will set off at midnight!"
"Yes!" Chen Gong nodded. He didn't want to advise Lü Bu to take a detour. That wasn't Lü Bu's style. Not to mention whether or not he could persuade Lü Bu, the Lvbu's Army had just rested and needed a huge victory to boost their morale. Chen Lan and Lü Bu were unlucky.
After a night of rest, the entire Lü Bu's Army began to move at midnight. In order to let Lü Bu help him deal with Chen Lan and Lei Bo, Yuan Shu specially sent wine and meat.
When they were sent to Liu Mang's camp, they were also given a whole roasted lamb and a jar of wine. If it was only Liu Mang who shared it, it would be more than enough. However, Liu Mang shared it with him. A lamb for a thousand people, so each person could only get a little bit of meat. Although the jar of wine was said to be Yuan Shu's precious wine, Liu Mang also mixed it with countless buckets of water.
However, tonight was an unforgettable night for the City Guard.
"We live and die together, we share riches and honor together. As long as I, Liu Mang eat, I won't let you go hungry. Brothers, let's eat!" Liu Mang ordered the Cooks' Army Unit to add water and boil the bones into soup. They ate a small piece of meat and the wine that was already as good as water. This meal was very pleasant.
Five o 'clock.
The army began to move. Lü Bu led the three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in the front. Behind them was the Formation Breaker. Behind them were the supply troops. Finally, Liu Mang's City Guard was responsible for covering the rear.
Yuan Shu also sent a guide to inform Chen Lan and Lei Bo's location.
The mighty movement of twenty thousand troops naturally couldn't be hidden from Chen Lan and Lei Bo on Mt. Bagong.
Almost as soon as the Lvbu's Army moved, Chen Lan and Lei Bo knew where the Lvbu's Army was.
"Big brother, what should we do?" On the main peak of Mt. Bagong, Lei Bo was anxious. Others may not know the strength of Lü Bu, but how could they not know? It was not like Xu Province had not been attacked before. Lü Bu's fighting strength was really seen by these two people.
Originally, they just bullied Yuan Shu's defeated troops. Now, they didn't know where Old Yuan found the Lvbu's Army.
Looking at Lei Bo walking back and forth in front of him, Chen Lan was also annoyed. "Calm down, calm down, second brother, you sit down. How can you walk back and forth in front of me! You're afraid of a Lü Bu?! "
"Big brother, that is Lü Bu, Lü Bu. Yuan Gonglu was not his opponent when he was at his peak. Now, now he wants to destroy us! What should we do?! "Although Lei Bo was annoyed, he still listened to Chen Lan's words and sat down.
Not only Lei Bo was afraid, Chen Lan was also afraid! Lü Bu's might was seen by everyone. The might of the Pengzhou Army was not to be underestimated by any warlord, let alone them who occupied a mountain.
"Calm down, calm down!" Chen Lan took a deep breath and said, "Second brother, although Lü Bu is strong, you and I are not as good as him, but Mt. Bagong is not a place where Lü Bu can come and go as he pleases. With Mt. Bagong as a natural barrier, even if it is Lü Bu, what can he do to you and me? As long as we hold on, we will be able to force Lü Bu's Army to retreat. At that time, you and I will be famous all over the world! "Chen Lan seemed to be encouraging Lei Bo, but also comforting himself.
"Mt. Bagong is a natural barrier?!" Lei Bo also began to calm down. Mt. Bagong covered an area of 200 square kilometers and was located in Zhongzhou. It was the barrier of Jiangnan, connecting Huainan and Shouchun. It could be said that if one occupied this place, they would be invincible. They could enter Jiangnan and Huainan and retreat to Mt. Bagong.
Since ancient times, this place was a must for military strategists. Originally, when Old Yuan was at his peak, there were tens of thousands of elite troops on Mt. Bagong, but unfortunately, Old Yuan had been beaten by Lao Cao and was afraid of running away. How could he care about this place, so Chen Lan and Lei Bo occupied this opportunity?
"Yes, we have Mt. Bagong as a natural barrier! We also have 10,000 elite troops. Even if Lü Bu is the god of war, he will not be able to break my Mt. Bagong. When he runs out of provisions, he will have to retreat! "Lei Bo seemed to see hope.
"Pass down my order, the whole army is ready for war. This time, after defeating Lü Fengxian, I will loot Shouchun. That old man Yuan Shu is too peaceful!" Chen Lan was not a kind person. After being plotted against by Yuan Shu, Chen Lan would definitely retaliate.
He did not think that if he did not betray Yuan Shu, if he did not rob Yuan Shu's ice food, how could Yuan Shu beg Lü Bu?
"Is this Mt. Bagong?" Lü Bu urged his horse forward. The entire Mt. Bagong was in front of him. It was surrounded by dense green trees and overgrown with weeds. Lü Bu could not see the whole picture of the mountain range.
There were 100,000 troops hidden in this mountain range! This was the intuition of a military general. Moreover, this mountain range was in front of Shouchun, connecting Huainan and Shouchun. However, it also blocked the existence of these two places. The height and the mountain range only had one mountain road.
This mountain range was really easy to defend but difficult to attack.
On the top of the mountain, Chen Lan, Lei Bo and the others began to set up a defense.
"Difficult to fight!" This was the voice of Gao Shun. It was rare for this silent oil pot to open his mouth.
"If we attack the mountain range, we will lose 800 men to kill 3000 enemies!" Zhang Liao also gave his own opinion. Now it was a siege, not a field battle, so the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was not useful at all. However, this did not hinder Zhang Liao's opinion on the battle situation.
"Even if it is difficult to fight, we still have to fight!" Lü Bu coldly looked at the whole mountain range, "Has my Lvbu's Army ever retreated?"
From the beginning of his career until now, Lü Bu did not seem to have fought a battle with the wind. It was always against the wind. Either the enemy had a large number of people, or he had been plotted against by others.
The Lvbu's Army could be defeated, but they could not admit defeat. Mt. Bagong! The terrain was dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, it depended on who was defending and who was attacking.
"Is it really worth it?" Chen Gong asked.
"It is not worth it or not! Can a mere natural stronghold stop me, Lü Bu? What a joke! " Lü Bu wanted to kill Chen Lan and Lei Bo not only because of Yuan Shu's request, but also because these two people had a common attribute, that was, they were traitors!
