Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

The horse riding and archery training in the next few days were child's play for Lu Bu. After he once again demonstrated his superb riding and archery skills, Sima Liu Jing noticed him. When he heard that he had defeated a whole group of soldiers on the day he first arrived, he was even more surprised and transferred Lu Bu to his side as a personal guard.

For others, this would be a step to heaven, but for Lu Bu, it was no different from being a soldier under him. In his dream, he was Dong Zhuo's personal guard. Although the Xiliang generals around Dong Zhuo rejected him, they still nodded and greeted him when they met him. Now, he really didn't take a mere Sima seriously.

Lu Bu wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that General Wei Qing had once been a groom, and Han Xin had also suffered the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch. Now he was just being asked to be a personal guard, which didn't seem to be a big deal.

Moreover, only by staying with Liu Jing could he get the news from Dong Zhuo first.

Through two years of observation, Lu Bu discovered that although his life was completely different from his dreams, many people and things in his dreams were almost real, such as the Liangzhou Rebellion that occurred in the winter of the previous year.

According to the dream, Your Majesty will pass away in three years, and Dong Zhuo will definitely march into Luoyang, but the rebels have retreated to Jincheng, Liangzhou. According to Li Su, Zhang Wen sent six groups of troops to pursue the rebels, five of which were defeated, and now only Dong Zhuo's group is left.

Under this situation, as long as Dong Zhuo is not defeated, he can win one or two small victories and return home. As for relying on him to completely quell the rebellion along the way, that is almost impossible. Even if he can do it, Dong Zhuo is not so stupid as to waste all his strength on this.

Therefore, the suppression of the rebellion may be over soon, and he must make a contribution before the end of the war. On the one hand, he can show his face in front of Dong Zhuo, and on the other hand, his merits can atone for his crime.

The opportunity that Lu Bu had been waiting for soon arrived. One morning, when he was accompanying Liu Jing on an inspection of the military camp, he suddenly saw a rider rushing towards him from outside the camp.

"Report——"

Before the man even got close, he shouted, "Sir Liu, your troops are surrounded by tens of thousands of Qiang and Xiongnu people in Wangyuan County. The situation is critical."

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

Liu Jing's expression changed slightly, and he asked anxiously, "Why are we surrounded? What's the situation now? General, can you allow me to lead the troops to rescue us?"

The scout said, "The general caught up with a rebel group in Wangyuan a few days ago. After repelling them, he was about to lead his troops back, but unexpectedly, another rebel group blocked his retreat. The group ahead of him also attacked again, and the general was trapped in the middle. Before I 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 gather information, and he could only see that Dong Zhuo's army was trapped from the periphery.

Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "Go explore again!"

He stopped inspecting and went back to his tent, where he took out the map of Liangzhou and began to examine it.

Lu Bu's eyes then fell on the map. Liang Province was not as flat as Wuyuan. It was mostly mountainous and valley-like, and the marching route was single. The Qiang and Xiongnu people must be more familiar with the terrain than the Han army. As long as the enemy occupied some major intersections, it would be easy to encircle the Han army.

In this case, it is not surprising that Dong Zhuo's retreat was blocked. Lu Bu thought that Dong Zhuo asked Liu Jing to lead troops to garrison Anding in order to prevent this situation!

"Sima, are you going to send troops to rescue us?" Lu Bu asked.

Liu Jing glanced at him and shook his head. "We just received a message from over there. The general didn't let us lead the troops there. Before he left, he ordered that these 4,000 troops must not leave Anding easily."

Lu Bu said, "The one who came back to report the news was a scout sent from here. They may be having trouble breaking through the siege over there, so they can't convey the order."

"It still won't work. If we are ambushed on the way, the general's retreat will be completely cut off. Besides, there are also bandits in Anding ready to attack. I can't leave."

"Then why not wipe out the stable bandit army first to eliminate worries?" Lu Bu was puzzled.

Liu Jing explained, "You've just arrived, so you don't know. The Qiang people are tough and ferocious. Most of the young and strong men can throw down their hoes and go to the battlefield. Moreover, they are good at taking advantage of the terrain and moving around, making them very suitable for ambushes and surprise attacks. If you can defeat them, then attack them. If you can't, they will hide in the mountains. No matter how elite your troops are, they will be helpless. It's not that the general doesn't want to suppress them, but that he can't."

"Four of the five armies sent by Minister Zhang were defeated in this way, and one had its supply route cut off, forcing it to retreat. If these rebels retreat back to Liang Province, the imperial court will be practically powerless against them."

Liu Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait and see. Based on my understanding of the general, he will definitely find a way to break out safely."

Lu Bu naturally knew that Dong Zhuo would not die, but this was his only chance to show his ability. If Dong Zhuo came back, he would definitely retreat to Youfufeng. It would be difficult for a small guard like him to see the commander-in-chief. Even if he did, he could only serve as a guard.

Lu Bu always fought battles head-on. He was not good at and disdained to use conspiracies and tricks. If it were in the past, he would definitely rely on his bravery to lead his troops. However, after studying so many military books and history books with Zhang Mo, and thinking about his dream life, he still learned a lot of lessons and would not act impulsively again.

He had never encountered the Qiang people's fighting methods before, even in his dreams. He had experienced hundreds of battles, big 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 the Qiang people, but to lead his troops to Wangyuan smoothly and rescue Dong Zhuo.

"General, could you please give me a group of soldiers? I'll go and help you break through. I'll be careful on the way and won't give the enemy any chance to ambush me."

Liu Jing looked at him in surprise and disagreed, "The enemy has tens of thousands of troops. Even if you can reach Wangyuan, what's the point of bringing only a few hundred men? Besides, you don't hold any military position. If you lose troops and achieve nothing, I'm afraid the general won't forgive you. Even I would be implicated. Let's wait and see."

Although he knew that Lu Bu was brave, marching and fighting were not about personal martial arts. In Liu Jing's opinion, Lu Bu was just a poor boy who had read some military tactics and had never led troops before. He could not trust him to hand over the troops to him no matter what.

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

Liu Jing was quite kind to him for saying so much to a new soldier. Lu Bu took a step back and said, "Then give me a garrison as a scout."

Lu Bu brought this group of people just to gather information. If he really wanted to charge and kill the enemy, it would have basically no effect on him whether he had these people or not.

"Are you really going?"

Lu Bu nodded firmly.

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

He could see that this person was no ordinary person and would come to prominence sooner or later, so he was willing to tell him so much just to establish a good relationship with him.

"Well, in that case, you can take a team to check out the situation."

You’ll know whether it’s a donkey or a horse by taking it out for a walk.
