    "You are such a tall and mute person. You usually don't talk to me for more than a few words. Today, you have so many words to talk to Wen Sima. Otherwise, you just go to Wen Sima's command, and you don't have to stay silent under my command all day long. Everyone thinks that  You are dumb!"

    Lu Bu said coldly, Wenhan narrowed his eyes, and was about to say a few words for Gao Shun, but Gao Shun stopped him with his eyes. Then Gao Shun walked aside, lowered his head and remained silent, as if he didn't know anyone.

    Lu Bu shook his head, his neck banging, and ignored Gao Shun.  Then he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and pretended to be affectionate to Wenhan.

    "Haha. Wen Sima Ru is here. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Did you have a good rest yesterday?"

    As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself in the face and asked Wen Han how he had rested yesterday. Wasn't it just a topic for Wen Han to mention about stealing horses?

    Wenhan smiled, did not mention the horse stealing incident yesterday, and said some polite words.  Lu Bu was just doubtful, thinking, could it be that Wei Xu's people, who knew so much about loyalty, didn't reveal Wei Xu's identity?

    Lu Bu couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it. He immediately called Wenhan and others into the house to talk. Although he didn't call Gao Shun, Gao Shun also walked in.  Under the leadership of Lu Bu, everyone came to the meeting hall. On the table of the meeting hall was a huge map of Shuofang County.  Lu Bu pointed to two places and said to Wenhan and others.

    "These are Linhe and Xiudu counties, which are still occupied by the Qiang and Hu. After yesterday's battle, our army and Wen Sima's army fought hard to kill the enemy. There are only 13,000 Qiang and Hu troops left. Among them, there are 7,000  Qiang and Hu cavalry, six thousand Qiang and Hu miscellaneous soldiers. According to reports from previous spies, Xiuduna was originally the base camp of the Qiang and Hu offensive troops. There were originally 15,000 Qiang and Hu troops, and an additional 10,000 troops were mobilized to occupy Hu.  Dao, but after being defeated by us yesterday, 10,000 horses were wiped out and only 3,000 were left. Hudao was recaptured by our army, and those 3,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry should have fled back to build the capital, together with the 5,000 who were left behind.  , should be eight thousand troops.

    Linhe County has always maintained a force of 5,000 troops, and Linhe is the closest border to the Qiang and Hu. If it is captured, the Qiang and Hu may be reinforced at any time.  This time I plan to divide our troops into two groups. I will lead one group of soldiers and horses, and Wen Sima will lead the other group of soldiers and horses. We will jointly attack Xiudu and Linhe counties.  Wen Sima, I have explained to you in detail the strength and situation of the two parties.  Which side do you think we should attack? I'll let you make the choice first.  "

    Lu Bu said with great pride, as if he was sure to capture both places.  Wenhan kept a calm expression, observed for a long time, and analyzed while speaking.

    "There are few soldiers in Linhe, but they are in danger of being raided by reinforcements. There are many soldiers in Xiudu, but once Linhe is captured, they will be isolated. As long as we win, we will have no worries. With the current strength of me and Captain Lu, we can capture both sides.  There is a certain degree of danger, but I like war without worries, so I choose to study in the capital."

    "Haha. Then Linhe is mine. I made my choice, so I can't go back on it. Otherwise, it will harm the other party, and it is likely to be attacked by them, and there will be countless casualties. Although Lu Bu is weak, he still has  With the ability to kill, he will definitely escape and come back for revenge!"

    "Haha. These are also the words in my heart."

    Lu Bu and Wen Han looked at each other and smiled, but their smiles were different. Lu Bu's grin was like a wild beast eating people, while Wen Han's was an elegant chuckle.  Although the two of them were laughing on the surface, it was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts, but at least, it wasn't really something that was happy enough to make people laugh.

    "Okay. This matter has been decided. I wonder when Wen Sima will launch his troops?"

    "Whenever Lieutenant Lu moves his troops, I will move his troops."

    "Okay, let's do it tomorrow, okay?"

    "Can!"

    Lu Bu and Wenhan looked at each other for a while. Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and said again.

    "Wen Sima, you and I are both generals of the Han Dynasty. Do you think we should be of one heart and one mind?"

    "Of course."

    Wen Han squinted his eyes, wondering what kind of medicine Lu Bu was selling in this gourd.

    "In that case, I will ask for something from you. Don't worry, a gentleman will not take what others like, and I will not get my hands on your cloud-riding horse. What I want is the strange object hanging on the horse. Yesterday I  I have watched your cavalry fight. It is precisely because of these strange objects that your cavalry's combat power has greatly increased. They come and go like the wind, and kill the enemy like cutting vegetables. It is like this. Wen Sima, you should not hide your clumsiness and give this thing as a gift.  Give it to me so that the combat effectiveness of my cavalry can increase."

    Wenhan curled his lips, wondering if Lu Bu had a funny head.  Why do you want everything?  This stirrup and saddle are the key to the Black Wind Cavalry's victory, and in the future chaos of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu will also become one of the princes, that is, Wenhan's potential enemy. How can Wenhan help his potential enemies improve their strength.

    "Hahaha. This is easy to talk about. Hey, where is Wei Xu, your wife's brother, Lieutenant Lu? Why don't you see him here today?"

    Wenhan said haha, suddenly mentioned Wei Xu.  Lu Bu's expression changed, and his originally smiling face turned cold. He stopped talking and stared at Wen Han.  The look on his face was already vicious, and his fists were tightened so tightly that they didn't make any sound. Lu Bu knew that if he punched this man in the head, his head would explode and he would lose his life.

    However, Lu Bu has not lost his mind yet. Wen Han has a halo behind him, and he is a general sent by the imperial court. He made great achievements yesterday. If he kills Wen Han now, no matter what his adoptive father 'Ding Yuan' is,  No matter how much I loved him, I didn't dare to keep him safe.  Because, Lu Bu's move was contempt for General He and the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

    "He accidentally fell while walking yesterday and was slightly injured. He is resting at home."

    Lu Bu opened his eyes and told lies. Wen Han raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, then saluted.

    "Oh, why is General Wei Xu so careless? I will go over to see him right now. I hope he is okay. Captain Lu, do you want to go with him?"

    "No need, I saw him last night. I'm tired too, you can just go on your own."

    "Oh, then we won't disturb Lieutenant Lu's rest."

    After Wenhan finished speaking, he said a few insignificant words to Lu Bu, and then left with Guan Yu and Xu Huang.  As for whether he was going to Wei Xu's home, Lu Bu didn't want to know at all.

    Snapped.

    Seeing Wenhan and others leaving the gate, Lu Bu grabbed the teacup and threw it over, then sat down angrily.  Originally, Gao Shun was happy when he heard that Lu Bu asked Wen Han for a stirrup and a saddle, but later he saw that Lu Bu had failed.  He couldn't help but doubt.

    "Fengxian, weren't you talking about the horse with Wen Sima just now? Why did you suddenly talk about Wei Xu again?"

    Lu Bu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, this Gao Shun really didn't follow the rules and scolded him impatiently.

    "You dumb guy like you didn't speak when you should have spoken, and you said what you shouldn't have said. Go back, go back! I get upset when I see you!"

    Gao Shun didn't know what was wrong with Lu Bu. He was unhappy after being scolded, and left after saluting.

    "You are an extraordinary scholar, and you have repeatedly opposed me. Don't give me a chance, otherwise I will make you look good!" Lu Bu sat on the stool, his eyes becoming more and more murderous unknowingly.

    Wenhan was not happy with L¨¹ Bu, and Wenhan did not want to have too much to do with him. On the second day, after arranging his troops, horses, and baggage, he sent someone to inform L¨¹ Bu and set off in the direction of building the capital.  Shortly after Wen Han's army left, Lu Bu kept his promise and led five thousand troops to attack Linhe.  On the way, he ordered his scouts to notify Xue Lan, the acting prefect of Linrong, and ordered him to send troops for reinforcements. Xue Lan obeyed and sent Bingzhou Cavalry Governor Zhang Liao to lead 3,000 troops to reinforce Linhe.

    Since we were not far from the Qiang and Hu, Wen Han had to ensure the safety of his baggage, so his march was much slower, and it took him three days to reach Xiudu.  After that, we set up the tent and rested first to recharge our batteries, but we also took precautions to prevent the Qiang Hu from attacking.

    Sure enough, at night, the Qiang and Hu thought that Wen Han's army would relax a bit just after it arrived, so they sent three thousand cavalry to attack.  Because Wenhan was on guard, he fought with him. The two sides fought for several rounds, but neither side got any advantage.  The three thousand Qiang and Hu cavalry wanted to retreat, but Wen Han's Black Wind Cavalry held them tightly. The Qiang and Hu generals did not dare to retreat too fast in case the battle was in chaos. They also knew that this Han army was fast enough.  They come and go like the wind. If they lose their formation, they will be slaughtered by the Han army.

    Later, the Qiang and Hu sent another three thousand cavalry to rescue them. The enemy's strength was twice that of the Black Wind Cavalry, so Wenhan had no choice but to give up and let them leave.  I was also thinking in my heart, why are there so many cavalry in this capital? Not all the main troops are here.  Aren't the Qiang and Hu who are defending along the river all infantry?

    "Hmph, let Lu Fengxian get a huge advantage. How can we attack Xiudu with so many cavalry?"

    Wenhan returned to the tent, rubbing his aching temples, unable to think of any way to capture Xiudu.  Guan Yu and Xu Huang stood silently on both sides. Wenhan really couldn't think of anything and looked at them, hoping that they would find a way.  Unexpectedly, they all have an expression that I don't know.

    "You two, if this head doesn't move any more, grass will grow on it."

    Wenhan was furious, pointing at them and saying, his expression was one of resentment and helplessness.

    "Extraordinary, the Tao in your chest is several times better than mine. If you can't figure it out, how can we figure it out?"

    Guan Yu shook his head helplessly.  Wenhan thought about this situation and seemed to have no idea.  Xu Huang walked to the center and suggested with a stern face.

    "We have just arrived and are not familiar with the enemy's situation. Why don't we set up our battle array tomorrow, observe their strength, and then make plans."

    "Yeah. That's all we have to do. However, the Qiang and Hu sent 6,000 cavalry today alone, and there are still 2,000 troops whose types are not yet known. However, based on the number of cavalry we know now, we must be careful in front of the formation tomorrow."They will suddenly attack.  The cavalry has strong power and high attack power, and can often kill many people in a few charges.  Although we also have 3,600 Black Wind Cavalry under our command, the number is smaller than theirs. Tomorrow we will order our army to be prepared to focus on defense.  "

    "Yes! General."

    Xu Huang responded with cupped hands and fists.  Later, Wenhan discussed the details of tomorrow's battle. Xu Huang was very proficient in defensive formations, so Wenhan asked him to use his abilities to prepare troops for tomorrow's battles.  Wen Han looked at the formation diagram drawn by Xu Huang and seemed to understand it, but Xu Huang told him that this formation was called the Three Talents Formation of Heaven and Earth.  It is a defensive formation.
