At this time, outside Luoyang City, in the depths of a military camp, a large tent lit a few torches, crackling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A warm fire rose in the big tent, and a big man was sitting next to the small fire, roasting a few potatoes on the fire with a small branch.

The curtain of the big tent door was lifted, and two people walked in.

The big man roasting the potato looked up, and beckoned with a smile: "Come on, Peping, Wenyuan, it's just right, this potato is almost baked." ”

Zhang Liao also smiled, "It's better to be here with Master Lu, not only is it warm but also has food." ”

Gao Shun saluted with a serious hand: "I've seen Master Lu." ”

Lu Bu dragged two stools from behind him, put them to his side casually, and beckoned Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to sit down, "No need to be polite, sit down, hey, I still think this stool is good, I came to Luoyang and knelt all day long and my knees hurt, I really don't know how these people can get used to it?" ”

Zhang Liao laughed, took the roasted potato in Lu Bu's hand, and spun on the flame, without answering.

Instead, Gao Shun nodded and said, "Kneeling and sitting is etiquette, and Master Lu should get used to it as soon as possible." ”

Lu Bu sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm just a rough person, what are you used to doing with that etiquette?" By the way, Wen Yuan, just now the two of you patrolled the camp, how are the children in the camp now? ”

Zhang Liao shook his head, took back the potato in his hand and put it under his nose and smelled it, as if it was not ripe, then put it back on the fire and turned around, and said: "It's not very good, the weather is getting cooler, some children are short of clothes, I have asked someone to prepare more firewood to keep out the cold, the key is that the grain and grass are not enough......"

"Wen Yuan and I estimated that it would take as little as fifteen days, or at most twenty days, and if there is no new supplement, we will run out of food." Gao Shun took Zhang Liao's words, looked at Lu Bu hopefully and said, "Master Book, has the grain and grass over there been settled?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head silently.

Zhang Liao lowered his head and sighed.

Gao Shun was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Two days ago, outside the camp, I met a few fellow villagers who went south, I went to inquire about the situation in my hometown, and I was scolded by them. ”

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were a little strange, and hurriedly asked why Gao Shun was scolded.

Gao Shun picked up a branch and put it into the fire, turned the flame higher, and said in a deep voice: "We withdrew, but Xianbei went south ahead of schedule this year......

Lu Bu's eyebrows rose: "Hu Nu is so daring!" Wait until I get back and kill it clean-"

Zhang Liao was a little overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "So we're going back?" When to leave? ”

"Uh-" Lu Bu was like a punctured balloon, and his momentum was suddenly discharged, "No, I haven't received the order yet......"

Gao Shun said: "If you shouldn't say something, some disciples in the camp still don't know why we want to evacuate and merge the state, and some are asking me that we have withdrawn, who will defend the border for us, I don't know how to answer." ”

"Yes," Zhang Liao also said, "Originally, we came to clear the eunuchs who were in turmoil, and now the eunuchs have been beheaded, but we still don't want to open the ......."

Zhang Liao didn't continue, because the reason for not leaving is hard to say, after all, when it comes to the boss's boss, it is still inconvenient for a junior officer like Zhang Liao to discuss.

Lu Bu scratched his head, "I just asked Ding Tingshi the day before yesterday, and Ding Tingshi asked me to wait for Shao'an not to be impatient, saying that even if I want to go back, I must first raise some grain and grass before I can go back." ”

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu, didn't say anything, continued to roast the potato, and sighed in his heart, this Lu master book of his own, sometimes his head is lacking roots, and he can't turn a corner, this Ding Yuan is obviously a pretext, you Lu master book is stunned and didn't hear it - the local army itself is not in line with the military system when it appears in the central government, even if there are thousands of reasons, there is no reason to be stationed in the central government for a long time. Now, as long as Ding Yuan says that he wants to go back, it is estimated that even if the imperial court smashes the pot and sells iron, it is estimated that Ding Yuan will first gather the grain and grass for Ding Yuan's return trip, how can there be a reason that it seems that it is still difficult to prepare?

It's not that there is no food and grass now, but that Ding Yuan and Ding Thorn have not reaped enough benefits.

Gao Shungang wanted to open his mouth to speak, but was secretly stepped on by Zhang Liao, and immediately reacted and kept silent.

Lu Bu frowned, he didn't notice Zhang Liao's small movements, he just felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"It should be baked!" Zhang Liao divided the roasted potatoes one by one, blowing whirring, carefully opening the burnt skin, and suddenly the aroma of the potatoes came out.

Lu Bu blew the yams, tore off the skin a few times, took a bite, scalded it in his mouth, and said with slurred lips: "Heh...... Or Wenyuan...... Hiss...... The craftsmanship is good...... Incense ......"

Lu Bu is actually just a pure martial artist at this moment, although his official position is hung in the main book, but the clerical things are still handed over to the civil servants in the army to handle them, and most of them are still doing the things of training the commander.

When Ding Yuan came to Bingzhou, he discovered him and asked him to lead the troops to fight the Xianbei Hu people, he was very happy and attentive, because after all, Bingzhou was his hometown, and he was protecting the countryside with his own outstanding martial arts, and he also got the glory and joy in his heart in the process of protecting the local people.

But this time Ding Yuan wants to withdraw his troops and come back, although Lu Bu is puzzled, but he still obeys the order, at this moment, Lu Bu still thinks that Ding Yuan is a good person, since he is a good person, he will not harm himself, he doesn't understand those things of court politics, and he doesn't want to understand, those are too roundabout, it is better to cut down the halberd of the heavenly painting ......

Or just wait a few more days?

Lu Bu thought while eating, wait for another eight days, no, wait for another five days, and then go to Ding Tingshi to ask...... Recently, there has been a shortage of food and grass, and my horses seem to have lost some weight, so it's not good to go on like this......

**************

Ding Yuan was also waiting in the big tent, he was waiting for Dong Zhuo's answer to him.

A few days ago, it was a little bit later than Dong Zhuo, which caused the great achievement of returning to the dynasty to fall on that Xiliang horseman, which really made him feel annoyed when he thought about it.

Ding Yuan was born in poverty and didn't read much, but he has always been diligent and studious, and he has been able to achieve today's position in the history of the state, there is really no one to borrow, and he has worked hard little by little.

After so many years, from a young man to a sick person, who can tell who can understand his suffering? For so many years, he has guarded the frontier and made countless contributions to the Hu people, but he has never been able to enter the circle of the central officials of the imperial court, seeing that he is getting older day by day, and his body is getting worse day by day, even if he is not for himself, he must think about his family and his children and grandchildren, right?

Can't let your children and grandchildren suffer the same hardships as yourself?

This time after receiving the secret edict of the general He Jin, Ding Yuan realized that this was a great opportunity for the first time, so he resolutely led the Bingzhou army south to King Qin, but unfortunately fate is so joking, obviously Luoyang arrived first, but the general He Jin was blown by her sister's words The roots of his ears were soft, and he hesitated, and only stationed troops in Mengjin, but in the end he was robbed by Dong Zhuo.

Although he has won the honorary title of a ruling Jinwu, but there is a fart? Can it be more beneficial than Dong Zhuo now? Just thinking about this anger will rush up.

According to reason, the letter to Dong Zhuo should have been delivered? Why hasn't this Takeo Nishiryo replied? Could it be that this Xiliang martial artist still dares to look down on the old man? The old man's subordinates are not vegetarians!
