Lu Bu said: "Actually, we only need to occupy one place, which is Shangluo in front of Wuguan."
Note: Shangluo is now Shangluo, Shaanxi Looking at the puzzled expressions of the generals, he continued: "In Shangluo, there is Danshui that leads directly to the Han River, which can be used by boat.
However, the area it flows through is full of barren mountains and ridges along the coast, making it difficult to reach with heavy equipment, and it is impossible for the princes to reach it.
Even in areas under actual control, princes will not garrison such uninhabited areas, which is a thankless task. " Zhang Liao scratched his head and thought for a while and said: "But when we station troops in Luo, we have Li Xiu and Guo Si in front, and Nanyang Yuan Shu in the back.
If they collude with each other to attack Shang in the valley, our army will be in danger.
We will I heard that Li Ji is offering a large sum of money and a high-ranking official to put a bounty on the lord's head, so we must be on guard."
Lu Bu smiled strangely and said: "Wen Yuan, don't worry, this will never happen, because Yuan Shu will soon be at odds with Liu Biao.
It is impossible for him to have extra energy and troops to cause trouble for us."
The reason why Lu Bu is so confident is because his soul master Xia Hua knows the history of Liu Biao's long-term struggle with Yuan Shu, and finally teamed up with Zhang Xiu to force Yuan Shu to retreat to Fengqiu.
An elite division was walking slowly on the ancient Shang-Yu Road.
It was a brigade of tigers and soldiers led by Lu Bu himself, plus five hundred tigers and leopards.
When passing through the boundary of Wancheng, they encountered Yuan Shu's army.
As Lu Bu expected, the other party was only monitoring from a distance.
They found that Lu Bu was just passing by and had no intention of targeting his own city, so he did not take the next step.
Soon, Lu Bu took control of the undefended Wuguan.
The undefended Wuguan meant that the Guanzhong area was still scattered.
The Xiliang tribes had not been integrated by Li Guo, and their scope of influence was limited to Chang'an City and surrounding areas.
But when Lu Bu entered Shangluo, the scouts from the front came to report that a large number of soldiers and horses were galloping toward Shangluo, with a strength of about three thousand.
Lu Bu immediately left 300 infantry to guard Shangluo County, and the remaining infantry and cavalry marched out of the city to form an array.
The reason for this is obvious.
If you station your troops in the city and defend the city, it will be easy for the opponent to build fortifications and block the four gates.
The cavalry also had no advantage.
Lu Bu went deep alone.
With no support and no food supplies, it was very dangerous to be blocked.
The formation is very simple.
All 500 heavy infantry are in the central square, 300 long and slightly compound bow archers are in the rear, 500 tiger and leopard cavalry are on the left wing, and 200 tiger and leopard cavalry are on the right wing.
Of course, there are also twenty ballistas installed.
The person who came was Li Meng, the general of Xiliang.
Li and Guo heard that Lu Bu was advancing to Luo and thought that he was going to attack Chang'an, so they sent their generals to attack him.
If they knew that Lu Bu was just stationing troops in Luo, they would not care about it at all.
At this time, in the Guanzhong area, in addition to the Xiliang faction's hills, there were also thieves running rampant.
There were thieves even in broad daylight in Chang'an City.
How could they care about avenging Dong Zhuo?
Li Meng brought a thousand infantry and two thousand Xiliang cavalry.
The infantry is also in the center, and a thousand cavalry are deployed on the two wings, but there are still a thousand cavalry in front of the infantry.
Obviously this is used for frontal assault.
Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu: "My lord, can you let me fight him first?"
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wen Yuan, be more careful."
Zhang Liao immediately rushed out.
"Little Li Meng, do you dare to fight with me?"
Zhang Liao Hengdao immediately stood up in the formation and shouted loudly.
Li Meng squinted his eyes and looked at the opponent's military formation, and found that there were only a thousand people, and there were few cavalry, and the center army only had infantry.
Already confident in his heart, he laughed loudly and said: "Who would fight with you alone?
That is the courage of an ordinary man.
Today I want you to see the power of the Xiliang cavalry."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and amid the rumbling drums, the entire army formation began to slow down.
Move forward slowly.
Zhang Liao had no choice but to retreat to his own formation.
Lu Jun remained motionless, waiting for the other party to approach.
When the two armies were one hundred and fifty meters apart.
Lu Bu shouted in a low voice: "Fire the ballista."
Twenty medium-sized vehicle-mounted ballistae fired in unison.
These were not ordinary stone bullets, but small explosive bombs.
Twenty explosive bombs drew parabolas in the air and fell accurately into Li Meng's military formation.
Even after landing, they were still arranged neatly.
In an instant, a wall of fire more than twenty meters wide rose up.
In Li Meng's army, dozens of Xiliang war horses near the "Fire Wall" were suddenly frightened.
No matter how beaten and roped by the soldiers, they still ran around like headless flies.
After knocking down other horses or infantry behind them, Li Meng's army suddenly became a mess.
Li Meng didn't know what equipment the opponent was using, and he was worried about the next wave of fire bombs, so he immediately ordered the Chinese cavalry to charge.
After receiving the order from the drums, the Xiliang cavalry in chaos accelerated their horses one after another and rushed towards Lu Bu's army formation.
Sure enough, twenty more explosive bombs struck soon after.
This time they were not arranged neatly, but randomly fell into Li Meng's formation.
Every time it landed, a fire broke out, causing chaos among the soldiers.
Some of the explosive bombs just landed at the feet of a certain infantry, instantly burning him into flames and rolling on the ground with wailing sounds.
When the Xiliang cavalry was still eighty meters away from Lu Bu's military formation, Lu Bu issued an order: "The crossbowmen start shooting."
Under the command of the centurion, three hundred archers behind the formation fired arrows in batches.
And out.
Each wave of shooting can knock dozens of Xiliang cavalry off their horses, and a wave of arrows flies out every two or three seconds.
When the Xiliang cavalry rushed fifteen meters in front of the formation, about three hundred cavalrymen had already been brought down.
Li Meng's heart was bleeding.
These days, in the Xiliang system, all the soldiers under his command were his own private property.
How could he not feel distressed.
However, he now feels like a gambler.
He has paid such a heavy price and must get his money back.
If he advances another fifteen meters, the opponent's large shield soldiers will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of his cavalry.
If Lu Bu can be defeated or even beheaded, it will all be worth it.
However, something even more terrifying happened for these Xiliang cavalry.
"Flying spears" like a torrential rain flew out from behind the big shield.
It penetrated the bodies of war horses and soldiers, and the scene was filled with the roar of horses and the painful wails of humans.
At the same time, Lu Bujun's shooters also stepped forward from the gaps in the array to shoot directly at close range.
When the Xiliang cavalry of the Chinese army rushed within ten meters in front of Lu Bu's formation, there were only a few dozen cavalry left.
Most of them, whose morale had collapsed to the point of collapse, did not dare to move forward and turned their horses to flee to both sides.
Only a few knights continued to charge towards Lu Bu's central square.
Under the order, the square suddenly opened a few gaps to allow these knights to rush into the formation.
The Xiliang knights immediately waved their horses and stabbed several times, but they all failed.
He slashed at the opponent's shield, and then the short spears and javelins of countless soldiers around him pierced their bodies or the bodies of their horses.
At this time, Lu Bu had already ordered the cavalry on both wings to charge.
The heavy sword and shield infantry who had eliminated the opponent's Chinese cavalry also began to move forward
