At the beginning of the A.D. month.

At this time, it has been close in recent years, the weather in the north is even colder, and it has caught up with the rare snow disaster in several years, Lu Bu and others have been sealed in the mountains and have never been able to come out, but after a few days of recuperation, Lu Bu has recovered a lot, not only the physical fatigue has recovered, and he feels that the unparalleled internal strength has also become more comfortable and improved, which makes Lu Bu excited.

As a martial artist, he naturally understands that he must go through a life-and-death fight to be able to break through his limits again and again, and now as his strength is getting stronger and stronger, it is already very difficult to improve again, and this breakthrough has benefited him a lot. The icing on the cake was a succession of good things, and the relationship with Cai Yan quickly warmed up, and at the same time, under the contact of the old Qiang king, he had already contacted five or six relatively large Qiang tribes, and temporarily discussed the issue of alliance with them. This is also thanks to the heavy snow sealing the mountain at the moment, and the connection between the inside and outside of the mountain is cut off, so Han Sui and the others were not able to find out.

Of course, things can go so smoothly is inseparable from Lu Bu's hard work during this period of time, he sincerely helped the Qiang people, not only fulfilled his promise, but treated most of the diseases for them, although the wolf warrior special forces did not carry a large number of medicinal materials, but the Qiang people who have lived in the mountains for a long time are not lacking in these, Liangzhou is located in a remote area, plus the Qiang people are the majority, so few doctors from the Central Plains come here to practice medicine, Therefore, the medical level of the Qiang people, especially the indigenous Qiang people who have lived in the mountains for a long time, is very poor, and many minor diseases that seem to be very common in the Central Plains have become serious illnesses that can kill people here, so the half-baked medical skills of Lu Bu and the wolf warrior special forces can treat hundreds of Qiang people.

"General Lu, thanks to you this time, thousands of Qiang children have been saved for us. On behalf of the Qiang people, Lao Yu thanked General Lu for his kindness. The old king thanked Lu Bu who was sitting on the throne sincerely.

During this period of time, Lu Bu and his subordinates have treated at least more than 2,000 Qiang people, some because of illness, some because of external injuries, although they live in the mountains, but due to the backwardness of medical means and level, the number of unnatural deaths due to various reasons every year is very large, especially in the harsh environment of winter, the arrival of Lu Bu and others not only saved the lives of thousands of people, but also taught them a lot of simple medical knowledge and skills, as well as agricultural knowledge that they did not know much, this kind of everything, so that all the Qiang people are more and more grateful to Lu Bu.

At this time, among the Qiang tribes in this mountain, Lu Bu's reputation faintly surpassed that of Ma Chao's Shenweitian General.

Lu Bu smiled modestly: "Old Qiang King, although Ma Chao is my subordinate, I treat him as a nephew, his family is naturally my family, and his friends are also my friends." So let's not say anything more about these out-of-the-box words. What's more, your old man has also helped us a lot, if you are grateful, then I, Lu Bu, should thank you even more. ”

"Hahaha, okay, General Lu is really fast! To tell you the truth, at the beginning, the old man was very worried about your intentions, but now it seems that he is too worried. ”

"I met with the old Qiang king at first sight, although I saw it for the first time today, but I felt like I had known each other for a long time. There is an old saying in the Central Plains, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Although I, Lu Fengxian, am not a sage, but I believe in comparing my heart with my heart when I interact with people, and my Qiang friends are in trouble, and I am doing my best to do my part. Lu Bu spoke eloquently, but every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, although he befriended the Qiang people and wanted to use them to help him in the future, but at this moment, he was sincerely helping them through the difficulties.

"General Lu, we Qiang people will not beat around the bush when we speak, you are a Han friend, our Qiang people have made a deal, at least all the tribes in this mountain will become your most loyal friends." The old Qiang king took a deep look at Lu Bu and said slowly.

Lu Bu was ecstatic in his heart, but he was much more restrained on his face and said: "Old man, please rest assured, I, Lu Fengxian, swear to heaven that I will live up to my Qiang friends in my lifetime." ”

"The old man believes what the general says. My grandson is young and reckless, and I hope the general will bother more. The old Qiang King looked at Ma Chao, his eyes full of love.

"Please also rest assured that King Lao Qiang, I have already said below that I regard Meng Qi as my son and nephew, and I will naturally cultivate him well." After a pause, Lu Bu then spoke: "I also ask King Lao Qiang, what do you know about that Han Sui Han Wen Covenant?" ”

"This person is cunning and suspicious, resourceful, and will be retribution, which is really difficult to deal with." After thinking for a while, the old Qiang king finally said the result.

Lu Bu nodded, the character of Han Sui summarized by the old Qiang King was similar to what he knew, and he had a vague overview of Han Sui in his heart, and said: "I made a decision to use troops against Han Sui at the beginning of spring next year." Explain that our large army will march in multiple ways, so that most of Dong Zhuo's army will not be able to return to Liangzhou. The troops attacking Liangzhou were roughly divided into two parts, one part was led by General Ma Teng to attack from the front, and the other part was led by Ma Chao from now on, leading a force to attack and harass in Liangzhou and disperse Han Sui's troop deployment. ”

Seeing that the old Qiang king nodded his head to indicate that he understood, Lu Bu continued: "With such a two-pronged approach, Han Sui can be destroyed." ”

After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, the old Qiang king pondered for a moment and said: "This plan is very second, my Qiang tribes will be able to provide more than 20,000 elite string control personnel at that time, and when General Lu's large army comes, he can raise the strength of the whole clan to support your department." ”

When Lu Bu heard the assurances of the old Qiang king, he suddenly felt refreshed, in his mind, although the Qiang people would support him, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, and I have to say that Lu Bu's luck is also very good.

Ma Teng's wife, Ma Chao's mother is the daughter of the old Qiang king of Baimaqiang, after being killed by Han Sui, the old Qiang king hated Han Sui to the core, but because of the consideration of the continuation of the whole clan, he did not openly rebel against Han Sui.

The Qiang people were greatly damaged after experiencing the rebellion of Beigong Boyu before, and at the same time, because of that rebellion, many Qiang tribes were more convinced of Baima Qiang, who had always opposed the rebellion. In addition, Baimaqiang was originally one of the strongest tribes among the Qiang tribes, and the prestige of the old Qiang King was unparalleled among the Qiang people.

Therefore, at this moment, the old Qiang king ascended to the heights, and immediately made Lu Bu gain great support.

At this time, ten days have passed since Lu Bu lost contact, and the whole state has almost made a mess, especially Cai Yong is even more anxious at this time, he blames Lu Bu's disappearance on his own head, he may have lost his daughter to make this old man grief-stricken, and at this moment, the most trusted and beloved student also risked his life to save his daughter, and now he has lost his trace, which makes Cai Yong live in self-blame every day.

Only by relying on the news brought back by the refugees who were rescued at that time did everyone feel a little relieved and hope that they would not be able to get out because the heavy snow blocked the mountain and blocked the traffic. Even so, Cai Yong still came to the state capital of Bingzhou every day to inquire about the progress of the matter.

"Wenhe, is there any news from the lord?" In the evening, after handling the day's official business, Tian Feng came to the official office and anxiously asked Jia Xu, who was in charge of intelligence work.

Cai Yong, who was beside him, asked eagerly: "Mr. Wenhe, can there be any new news from Feng Xian Yan'er?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head, glanced at the worried Cai Yong and replied: "Mr. Bo, please rest assured, now that the heavy snow is closing the mountains, it is not smooth, in this case, there is no news, but it is the best news." Sir, don't be overly sad, let love and lord be blessed with heaven, you must be safe at this moment, and please take care of your body. Otherwise, when the lord returns, he will inevitably blame us for not taking good care of us. Jia Xu opened his mouth to comfort Cai Yong.

In this short period of ten days, Cai Yong seems to be ten years old, originally because of his maintenance skills, Cai Yong seems to be much younger than his real age, but after these few days, his hair is gray, and his wrinkles have increased a lot, so Jia Xu said so, hoping to comfort this anxious old man in this way.

For Jia Xu's consolation, Cai Yong didn't know the deep meaning, but now he didn't care about these at all, he prayed in his heart every day that the two children were safe, and even thought in his heart that even if Cai Yan had a bad pool, he couldn't let Lu Bu lose.

Seeing this, Tian Feng also opened his mouth to comfort for a long time, and in the past few days, the two of them have needed such a persuasion almost every day to let the old man leave.

After seeing Cai Yong leave, Tian Feng spoke: "The situation is not good now. ”

Jia Xu nodded, although his face was indifferent, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes: "I have a new decision, it was originally the time to rest and recuperate, but the lord suddenly disappeared, but this has too much impact on us." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have ordered this news to be blocked, and the outside world does not know the news of the disappearance of the lord yet, but after a long time, not to mention that we will use troops against Liangzhou in the coming year......"

Jia Xu waved his hand slightly to stop Tian Feng from continuing, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Hao, as the lord's ministers, we want to worry about the lord, and this is the time to test us. The lord is not there, and the whole state must start to stabilize the position from you and me, otherwise it is easy to be taken advantage of. ”

Tian Feng nodded, he understood these truths very well, he also maintained a calm and calm attitude in front of any outsider, and only when facing Jia Xu could he reveal his true thoughts.

After the two discussed, Tian Feng walked away, he had a lot of other things to deal with, and he was very busy every day.

When Tian Feng raised his feet and walked out of the main entrance, Jia Xu was also standing at the door of the hall, his eyes drooping slightly, thinking about things.

Suddenly, two hurried exhalers came: "Sir, be careful! ”

Tian Feng only felt that he had been knocked out, and when he turned around, he saw that several black-clothed people suddenly appeared in front of the brightly lit hall and were fighting fiercely, and Tian Feng recognized that several of them in black were those mysterious guards, obviously assassinated.

When he turned his head, he was shocked to find that Jia Xu had fallen in a pool of blood.
