In the summer of the eleventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to proclaim himself the King of Wei, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty proclaimed himself the King of Wu, and even Liu Bei proclaimed himself the King of Shu.
Lu Bu proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong.
In the early autumn of the same year, all preparations for Lu Bu's war against Shu were completed.
He personally led his troops and began the battle south to conquer Shu.
Lu Bu led more than two hundred kidnappers out of Jiange Pass and galloped southward.
He wanted to see for himself the Western Camp of the Shu Army, which was built south of Jiange Pass.
According to previous scout reports, there are more than 10,000 elite Shu troops stationed in this camp all year round, including Liu Bei's most elite Bai'er soldiers.
Lu Bu rode his horse to the vicinity of the camp and observed carefully.
It was indeed a strong fortress.
In addition to the tightly constructed defense line outside the camp, there were many defensive facilities built inside the camp.
Even if the army invaded the camp, the Shu army could still rely on it.
These internal defenses put up a fierce resistance.
Moreover, these are the results of Lu Bu's general observations, and the subtleties cannot be seen at a glance from the outside.
From this, Lu Bu judged that if the stronghold was attacked by force, heavy losses would be suffered, and it might not be possible to attack it.
The Shu army sentry in the camp had already reported this news to the defender Huang Zhong.
When Huang Zhong heard this, he was so angry that his beard stood up, and he cursed: "This Hanzhong army looks down on people so much that they dare to come to visit the camp as if there is no one around.
Bring me my sword and bow, I want to see who is doing this Bold" Just when Lu Bu was about to give the order to return to Jiange, a wave of soldiers and horses rushed out from the camp.
The general was an old man with a white beard and a bright head.
Lu Bu thought to himself that this person was either Huang Zhong or Yan Yan.
Just when Lu Bu was guessing who he was, he yelled, "Come on, please leave, and I, Huang Hansheng, will take a stab at you."
When Lü Bu heard this, he realized that it was indeed Huang Zhong.
He was about to attack his horse and leave, but when he saw that Huang Zhong had only a few hundred soldiers, he turned his horse's head and charged forward.
He straightened up Fang Tian's painted halberd, pointed at Huang Zhong from a distance and said, "You are Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng."
Huang Zhong was surprised when he saw Lu Bu in front of him.
The man in front of him used a fangtian halberd and rode a maroon horse.
Could it be Lu Bu himself?
He responded: "It's me, general.
Who are you?
I'm going to kill you with my sword."
Don’t kill the nameless people.”
"I am Lü Bu, the king of Hanzhong," Lü Bu shouted angrily, and then he raised his halberd and urged his horse forward to fight Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was surprised and happy when he heard that it was Lü Bu himself.
What was surprising was that Lu Bu was so courageous that he dared to visit the camp with hundreds of people.
The good news is that if he kills the opponent in one fell swoop today, it will not only be a great achievement, but also a battle that will leave his name in history.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong waved his long knife and went forward.
The two sides exchanged swords and swords, and after less than five rounds of fighting, Huang Zhong felt unable to resist and was out of breath.
He saw an opening, put away his sword, turned his horse and left.
Lu Bu sneered, knowing that Huang Zhong would definitely use the horse-turning arrow to plot against him, so he blew a wild whistle, and the kidnap horse immediately followed behind him.
When Huang Zhong's soldiers saw several of the other side's cavalry chasing after them, they all shouted: "General, be careful."
Huang Zhong thought it was Lu Bu chasing after him, so he was secretly proud of himself.
He picked up his bow and arrow and turned around to shoot.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that Lu Bu had not followed him.
What followed him were several cavalrymen who also aimed their bows and arrows at him.
Huang Zhong didn't have time to think too much, and he aimed an arrow at one of them.
The arrow hit the helmet of the kidnapping horse rider.

The arrow penetrated the helmet and grazed his scalp.
The kidnapping horse rider's face was immediately covered with blood.
At the same time, the bowstrings in the hands of the rest of the cavalrymen were released.
Accurate arrows were shot at Huang Zhong one after another.
Huang Zhong couldn't hide in time and swayed, but was shot into the armor by two arrows.
Huang Zhong grunted in pain and teetered on his horse.
A lasso of a kidnapping horse took the opportunity to put it around his neck and took him off the horse.
Huang Zhong's soldiers behind him were shocked when they saw this scene, and they all rushed forward to rescue Huang Zhong.
But the horse that had trapped Huang Zhong had already galloped away in the direction of Lu Bu.
Huang Zhong was dragged to the ground and started kicking his legs, trying to stand up, but the arrow wounds on his body caused him to bleed too much, and he lost strength after a while.
Lu Bu and two hundred kidnappers also came forward.
First, they greeted the oncoming Huang Zhong soldiers with a round of flying arrows, and immediately killed fifty or sixty of them.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible and that Huang Zhong could not be saved, Huang Zhong's soldiers turned their horses and fled towards the camp.
When Lu Bu saw this situation, he secretly said it was a pity.
If he had known about this accident, he would have brought more soldiers out.
After killing Huang Zhong, you can take advantage of the opponent's leaderless army to raid his camp.
But now he only has two hundred cavalry with him.
Even if the opponent loses his general, he will never be able to capture this camp garrisoned by ten thousand people.
Helpless, Lu Bu could only return to Jiange with his soldiers and captured Huang Zhong.
After returning to Jiange, Lu Bu asked the swordsman to clean and suture Huang Zhong's wounds, and then assigned soldiers to escort him to the city.
At night, Lu Bu closed his eyes and meditated on the countermeasures against the Shu army.
It is impossible to knock down the two eastern and western fortresses set up by Zhuge Liang, so he can only attack the hinterland of the central Shu plain in a roundabout way, capture the core city of the Shu army, and then cut off the supply to these two fortresses.
But he knew that Zhuge Liang was no ordinary person and would definitely devise countermeasures for his roundabout attack, and might even set up a trap.
In the end, Lu Bu decided to use a small group of cavalry to conduct a tentative harassment attack to find out the opponent's intentions.
It was another day when the sun was rising, and more than five hundred people on Guaizi horses ran out of the Jiange, bypassed the Shu army's East Camp, and galloped towards Fucheng behind it.
At almost the same moment, dozens of medium-sized Viking longships sailed downstream along the Jialing River, loaded with three hundred cavalry and war horses.
After the ship arrived at the plain area in the south of Chongguo County, the troops were put down.
Three hundred cavalry horses galloped towards the hinterland of Sichuan.
These kidnapping horses did not have any logistical supplies, and were only equipped with compressed military rations and horse feed for ten days.
These compressed military rations are high-calorie foods made of fried noodles, butter, honey, preserved fruits, and dried meat.
Horse feed is a compressed mixture of pea meal and alfalfa.
Suddenly, the entire plain in central Sichuan was filled with the sound of drums and trumpets, and the smoke was everywhere.
The gates of all cities and counties were tightly closed, all food in the countryside and countryside was collected, and all personnel were transferred to the city and Wubao.
Moreover, Guaizima also discovered a special situation, that is, in the area north and east of Chengdu, no one grew crops outside the city walls.
Lu Bu's gangsters were so arrogant that they once invaded the city.
Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Chengdu, had long lost his temper and went to ask his eldest brother Liu Bei for a fight every day.
But what Liu Bei couldn't shake was one sentence: "All actions must be obeyed by Zhuge's military advisor."
He went to Zhuge Liang again, and Zhuge Liang also said: "You are not allowed to go to war, and those who disobey orders will be killed."
Zhang Fei left angrily.
In fact, it was useless for him to fight.
If Zhang Fei led an army to fight against these kidnapper horse riders, the opponent would run away in a hurry
