Chapter 84 He’s coming, he’s coming riding on Dian Wei!
The trap that Ji Hao dug for Jiangdong was an unbreakable conspiracy, and no one could have solved it.
Sun Jian's only solution was to let Sun Ce take those who supported him to fight Liu Biao in Jiangxia, while he himself would take his own generals and those who supported Sun Quan to attack Qiaojiazhuang.
By separating in this way, the two groups will not hinder each other.
But because of this, there is almost no possibility of joining forces. Otherwise, who knows how many shameless means will be used in the fight for succession.
In this situation, what Sun Jian was most worried about was Ji Hao's joining forces.
In this way, he will be alone and difficult to deal with.
So he came up with a plan and dug a trap for Ji Hao on the issue of succession - the fact that the fourth wife of King Cheng, Lu Lingqi, was the daughter of Lu Bu was not known by many people, but it was not unknown, and basically all the upper-level princes knew about it.
It's not really a secret.
It is also no secret that Lu Bu has no son, but only a daughter.
Therefore, Sun Jian guessed that Lu Bu must have wanted to fight for his grandson, and might even have thought of taking him away from childhood and raising him by his side, but he never had the chance.
The rumors he spread gave Lu Bu an opportunity.
He just didn't believe that Lu Bu could sit still when rumors were spreading outside that Lu Bu's grandson was being abused!
"That old guy is so mean." After receiving the news, Ji Hao shook his head and said, "Originally, Lu Bu had no intention of sending troops, but this not only gives Lu Bu an excuse to send troops, but also puts him on the fire."
If Lu Bu wanted to send troops, he now had an excuse, and if Lu Bu didn't want to, he had no choice but to send troops.
There are rumors outside that his daughter and grandson are being abused. Can he sit still and do nothing?
Moreover, Ji Hao, who knew Lu Bu very well, also knew that although Lu Bu had some brains, it was not much, and he might actually believe Sun Jian's rumors.
You can't help it.
"The troops will be divided into two groups. Zilong, you will lead the Datong army to the south to defend against Sun Ce. Fengxiao, you will follow and serve as the military supervisor. Be careful of Zhou Yu's plot!" Ji Hao said, "As for me, I will go to the north to wait for Lu Bu."
When the battle line is long enough, the role of generals, especially those who can stand on their own, becomes prominent.
Why was Liu Bei easily able to capture Jingzhou by Lu Meng's white-clothed crossing of the river?
It’s because there are not enough generals!
Although the Five Tiger Generals are so famous, except for them, Mi Fang, Liu Feng and others are not capable generals. Once they encounter a powerful enemy, they either surrender directly or hide in the hide, and cannot form any effective resistance.
Sun Jian now also recognizes this point.
Cao Cao was stationed at Chengtiandu, always on guard against Yuan Shao. Zhang Liao was stationed in Qingzhou, also on guard against Yuan Shao. Zhao Yun was originally stationed in Xuzhou, but was transferred there because of the war needs.
But he also left behind military advisor Jia Xu.
Now, Wei Yan was left in the southwest, the main force of the Datong army was pinned down by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Ji Hao himself had to guard against Lu Bu in the north. The only one who could resist Sun Jian was Huang Zhong who had just defected.
Without a good general, the situation will become passive, and this is the consequence of the lengthening of the battle line.
If the battle line becomes longer in the future, the demand for troops and generals will be even greater.
"Sun Jian instigated Lu Bu to send out his troops, just to want Huang Zhong to face him alone, thinking that he could defeat Huang Zhong. But I also trust Huang Zhong enough. As long as Zhou Yu is always pinned down, I don't believe that anyone in Jiangdong can defeat him!"
After Ji Hao made all the arrangements, he led Zhou Cang and two thousand veteran Haotian Guards to the north.
On the official road from Yanzhou to Yuzhou.
The location was a coincidence, it was exactly the place where he disguised himself as a robber and kidnapped Lu Lingqi three years ago.
At this time, Lu Bu had led his army to the border, but did not launch an attack. Instead, he set up camp and waited for Ji Hao.
Ji Hao also understood this.
It was because Lu Bu did not want to start a war easily, and even though he had to come under Sun Jian's conspiracy, he still remained restrained.
There is no way to avoid restraint.
Only he knew how terrifying Ji Hao's strength was. Only those who had fought in the Battle of Xuzhou knew what kind of gods the "Ji Camp" were and how difficult they were to deal with.
To be honest, after learning that Sun Jian refused to withdraw his troops, he began to consider giving a share of the reward.
A member of Sun Jian's funeral.
"With only 2,000 men, you dare to face my army of 100,000. Chengtian, you are still as confident as ever!" Lu Bu stood in front of the two armies and said, "You know why I came here. I think you also understand the situation in Yanzhou. Leave him to me and let me train him. In the future, he can inherit everything from me!"
This "he" is not referring to anyone else, but the son of Ji Hao and Lu Lingqi.
He is already over two years old, almost three.
According to the education at this time, children would start reading at the age of four and practice horse stance to lay the foundation for martial arts. At the age of six, they would start to build up their strength and learn various weapons.
Even those over ten years old have to undergo practical training!
Therefore, if you want to educate your child well, you have to start preparing at the age of three.
"No problem. If you surrender to me now, we will be a family in the future. You can raise the child however you want. It doesn't matter if he takes his mother's surname. If Lingqi has no objection, then I have no objection to anything!" Ji Hao said. At this, Lu Bu's face darkened.
Are they taking advantage of the fact that he has no children and not treating him as an enemy at all?
"Do you really think that I, Lu Bu, am afraid of you?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Ji Hao asked back.
Originally, there might not have been anyone in this world that Lu Bu was afraid of, because in a one-on-one fight, Lu Bu was invincible. But after he came, the myth of Lu Bu's invincibility was broken.
How could he not be afraid when his most relied-upon one-on-one ability was suppressed?
"you!"
Lu Bu instantly got furious and rode his horse towards Ji Hao.
Ji Hao also rushed over at the same time.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji and Pan Long Qi Sha Jing collided, and at the first sight of the fight, Lu Bu's face turned red, and his blood boiled, and he obviously suffered a great loss.
So he immediately called out, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed behind him.
The three of them besieged Ji Hao himself.
These two men are not simple characters. The reason why Dian Wei is called "Three Dian Weis" is not only for the sake of convenience, but also because he is invincible in infantry combat and has the greatest strength in the entire Three Kingdoms era.
When he rushed up, holding two halberds, he was even able to hold Ji Hao with one hand.
And won't be injured.
The only thing he lacks is his martial arts and riding skills.
As for Xu Chu, he is definitely a top-notch general.
The three of them besieged Ji Hao, and for a moment, Ji Hao felt the pressure he had not felt for a long time, and his fighting spirit surged.
"I can feel some pressure. If it was three years ago, I would not be your opponent if I fought you three alone. Unfortunately, my strength has been improving over the years!"
As Ji Hao spoke, he used the "Chengtian Armor" to withstand the attacks of Lu Bu and Dian Wei, gathered the strength of the three people onto the spear, and smashed it hard at Xu Chu.
Xu Chu raised his hands to block.
As a result, the man was fine, but the warhorse fell directly to the ground and broke its hoof on the spot.
At the same time, Chiwu neighed restlessly, kicked backwards, and directly kicked Dian Wei and his horse away. The force was so great that even Lu Bu stared.
"You really found a top-quality black horse?"
Hearing this, Ji Hao nodded: "The best of the best!"
The three continued to fight.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei were both without their warhorses, and they were not high enough to threaten Ji Hao anymore. The pressure on Lu Bu increased, and he could only defend himself.
Parrying still comes at the cost of surging blood and energy every time.
Because Ji Hao is too strong.
In addition, in terms of martial arts, Ji Hao has long been the pinnacle of this world, the true ceiling, and even if Xiang Yu were to resurrect, he might not be his opponent.
Even if Li Cunxiao came in later generations, he would still be suppressed.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, Chiwu let out a roar, then raised its front hooves and fought with Chitu.
The two horses kicked each other with their front hooves, making a series of bangs. Chiwu was not hurt at all, but Chitu neighed and fell to the ground.
Looking closely, I saw that the horse's nose was bleeding from the beating.
But Chiwu was intact.
"I really can't use ordinary means to deal with you!" Lu Bu said, and suddenly jumped onto Dian Wei's shoulders, stepped on his shoulders and pointed his Fang Tian Hua Ji at Ji Hao.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu attacked the people and Dian Wei attacked the horses.
They actually managed to briefly resist Ji Hao riding on Chiwu with the strength of two people, which made him confused. He said with a strange look on his face: "Lü Bu riding Dian Wei, is he invincible in the world?"
