    Seeing Luoyang City again, Lu Bu suddenly felt like he was in another world.

    The time between this departure was actually not that long, but too many things happened in the meantime, and when success was imminent, even with Lu Bu's usual self-confidence, it was inevitable to have a subconscious sense of unreality as he worried about gains and losses.

    But as soon as you look back at the formation of the army behind you, which is crowded with shadows, flags, and spears, this complicated thought will disappear without a trace.

    However, their march this time was a bit special compared to the past.

    They took the water route, that is, they went upstream along the Luoshui River and headed straight to the south of Luoyang City. The Anbu City South Branch, which had received the news long ago, was ready to open the city gate for them at any time.

    In fact, not all of the 50,000 troops summoned by Lu Bu appeared here. The number of ships that could be summoned and used in a short period of time was still insufficient. Especially after all, Luoshui can only be regarded as a tributary of a large river, and there is not such a large basin area to accommodate expansion.  A real ship-borne army; secondly, it is naturally because the other soldiers and horses have other uses. After all, there are two big fish outside Luoyang City, Liu Yan and Liu Biao, who may be coming here.

    Speaking of which, if we go to conquer the south in the future, we will inevitably use naval forces, and the army Lu Bu currently controls is the most scarce unit.

    However, he had long thought about this. In fact, when he ordered Wei Xu and his two men to train the navy, it was just a whim. In the long run, it was actually a very naive move, but he didn't expect it to pay off.  Surprisingly, Wei Xu and Song Xian were quite talented in the art of the navy. During the experimental training of crossing the river by feeling for the stones, the navy was also trained by them to look similar.  It has not been tested in a serious battle, and its strength is still unknown, but it may not be impossible to use this as a basis. When the time comes, use the power he plundered to build a navy army that truly belongs to him.

    The target he set his sights on was naturally the Liaodong Gongsun family. This Gongsun family had some unclear connections with Gongsun Zan, but what Lu Bu valued most was naturally their world-famous navy and shipbuilding industry, and the Liaodong navy was closely related to the south.  At this time, the most famous Jingxiang navy was different. Their route had extended to the sea. Although with Lu Bu's current thoughts and the Han's current technical and practical foundation, it was unrealistic to want to play more on this basis.  Even if you go south along the coastline, you may be disappointed if you want to achieve epoch-making feats such as landing operations, but their technology, experience and human resources are worth learning and utilizing, and it is also worth Lu Bu's efforts.  Go to great lengths to collect it for your own use.

    Speaking of which, apart from this, Liaodong really doesn't have much value or use to Lu Bu now. Even Gongsun Du, who is used to staying in a corner, is generally not a threat compared to Yuan Shang and Liu He.

    Unlike the last time he left Luoyang City, Lu Bu was still in the mood to enjoy the surrounding scenery. In this high autumn season, the river surface was already showing signs of freezing. Perhaps in another month or even ten days, they would be able to  It is impossible to experience this by boat.

    "How beautiful would this great river and mountain be if it were not blocked by the flames of war?"

    Despite this emotion, Lu Bu's eyes were firm, pointing directly at the looming city head ahead.

    "My lord, news has come from the front. Kaiyang Gate has been closed, and others have not been alerted yet. We can enter the city immediately and catch them off guard!"

    Lu Bu laughed, waved his long arm, and said immediately: "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's speed up. I want to see what the little emperor looks like now"

    Although traveling against the current, it was a smooth journey. The fleet, carrying this elite infantry carefully selected by Lu Bu himself, docked safely at the dock south of Luoyang City. Such a large-scale movement did not disturb anyone in the city.  , one can imagine how meticulous the work done by the South is.

    The soldiers disembarked one after another and landed ashore. For them, this short journey was a big torture. If they hadn't all been in extraordinary physical condition, they would not have been able to hold on on the ship.

    Of course, this is not a big deal. In the final analysis, it is still a question of adaptability. If you do it a few times, you will get used to it and this problem will no longer exist.

    But when they finally set foot on solid ground, their hearts were completely calmed down. Lu Bu also saw that something was wrong with their state. Anyway, they hadn't alerted others yet. They still had time at this time and could still stay here for a while.  Take a break and make some arrangements.

    Lu Bu also asked all ministries in the city to take action immediately later. Creating riots was also a cover for their side. Their role was still very important. If the effect was good, they would naturally be able to achieve their goals while protecting themselves as much as possible.

    "My Lord, spies from the east of the city are here to report."??The movement of the Jingzhou Army has been discovered"

    This news made Lu Bu, who was deep in thought, perk up. His eyes shone brightly, he nodded and said with a smile: "Send extra manpower to keep an eye on it, and notify Jun Ming"

    "Here!"

    It was expected that the collision with Liu Biao might be the first battle this time. Since Dian Wei had always been high-spirited, Lu Bu was not willing to let his beloved general hold back his disappointment, so he simply ordered him to lead a group of troops.  Liu Biao must have an ambush on his way.

    Liu Biao has a conservative temperament and must be cautious when marching, so Lu Bu was prepared for failure on this side, but he did not expect that Dian Wei seemed to be lucky.

    However, he didn't know that although Liu Biao was already a bit conservative at this time, he had not completely abandoned the heroic spirit of riding into Jingzhou alone. If there were enough interests and benefits to attract him, he would also become decisive and even radical.  Just like this time.

    Of course, there is still a big difference between Liu Biao and Liu Yan. If Liu Yan has some other unspeakable thoughts, then Liu Biao is probably 70-80% here with the intention of rescuing the driver. The remaining 23%,  Naturally, it was based on the basic need to preserve himself. This is why he initially chose to stand aside when Liu Yan came over, but then decided to call in troops when Liu Yan failed but also tore apart the true image of Luoyang's weakness.  main reason.

    ????????????????????? However, Liu Biao did not abandon his caution. He marched not too fast along the way, and he paid special attention to the detection and investigation of his surroundings. If he found something wrong, he might just get away in time.

    It is a pity that although Liu Biao was born in the clan, he left Sili long ago and was not familiar with this place, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army under his command. However, his subordinate Kuai Yue, who was best at exploring and deducing terrain and roads, did not accompany the army this time.  In fact, some discounts are required for the investigation.

    "It's a pity that since he is ready to fish in troubled waters, it is impossible to take no risks at all. Liu Biao can only keep his men vigilant enough to deal with changes that may happen at any time. Of course, there is no best way.

    It is certainly not a good thing to tense up like this all the way, and most of the soldiers cannot persist all the time. Many of them began to relax halfway. In fact, over the years in Jingzhou, whether it was the original Yellow Turban Rebellion or the later princes' challenge to Dong  , did not affect them much. Apart from occasionally suppressing bandits and killing water thieves, the Jingzhou Army did not experience many decent wars. Not to mention that the combat effectiveness could not be tempered and increased, and the experience on the battlefield was even more superficial.  , even those scouts became a little careless in the back.

    It¡¯s no wonder that when Dian Wei led his troops and horses to kill the general like a mountain king blocking the road, the Jingzhou Army was caught off guard and the position was immediately in chaos.
