Chapter 43 Jizhou came to help

Jizhou is the closest to Bingzhou, so the first reinforcements to arrive are those from Jizhou. Just after breakfast, the reconnaissance cavalry of the trapped camp who went out hundreds of miles around every day sent a reconnaissance report to Lu Bu, and a Han army of 25,000 people came from the south, and when it was discovered, it had already crossed the Hunhe River and was about to arrive at Zhen L County. After contact, it was confirmed that it was the reinforcements from Jizhou, and brought back an official letter written by the Jizhou Assassin to Lu Bu.

Through the official document, Lu Bu learned that the leader of the Jizhou reinforcements was Shi Fuzhu, the governor of the Jizhou Assassin Prefecture. Lu Bu had naturally heard of this person, especially when the books in his previous life described the melee of the northern warlords in the early Three Kingdoms, he did not mention this person much. It seems that because Yuan Shao doesn't know where to go on business now, Fu Zhi hasn't followed Yuan Shao yet, which is a good opportunity.

He was a well-known strategist during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he made important suggestions many times, but unfortunately Yuan Shao did not listen to his opinions, and finally was defeated and killed in Guandu, which is a pity. If you can cut off Yuan Shao's right-hand man in advance, why not? Lu Bu told Jia Xu that he wanted to get the allegiance of Frustration and asked Jia Xu to find a way. Jia Xu had also heard of Fu Zhu and promised Lu Bu to convince him by himself.

When the sentry came to report that the Jizhou reinforcements had left the city 20 miles, Lu Bu led the trapping camp to go out of the city to meet them. It was about ten miles out of the city, the front was dusty, and a cavalry came in a vast way, and the knights on the horses were lined with crimson Han army uniforms, jackets and brass armor, and under the sun, they were very eye-catching.

Seeing that there were people in the city to greet you, the cavalry of the trapped camp who led the way told Fu Zhi that my general had come to meet you personally. He hurriedly ordered the army to stop advancing, and then drove the carriage forward. Frustrated to know Lu Bu's amazing achievements in the past, and he was newly favored by the emperor, it was when he was in the middle of the day, although he was young, he didn't dare to deceive.

Seeing that Lu Bu treated him politely and with a sincere attitude, he first felt a little more good in his heart. Fu Zhu also made the salute of the lower official to meet the Shangguan, and then said: "I am sent by the Holy Order and Lord Assassin Shi to lead 25,000 reinforcements from Jizhou to help General Lu Bu, and ask the general to check it." ”

Lu Bu hurriedly clasped his hands, "Mr. Gong and Mr. Daimyo, Bu has been admired for a long time, and now Mr. and Jizhou reinforcements help each other, like a tiger with wings, he will be able to defeat Xianbei Tugou." Mr. is coming from afar, the journey is tiring, quickly follow me into the city to rest, the camp of the army is ready, Gao Shun, you personally arrange it. ”

"Thank you general, I have long heard that the general is a hero, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name, this war, I will do my best to lead the Jizhou army to assist the general." With that, he beckoned to a person behind him and asked him to step forward.

"General, there is a person who is recommended to the general, he is from Hejian, called Zhang He, good at leading cavalry, excellent in martial arts, and familiar with military books, both civil and military, although he is young, he is already my military Sima in Jizhou." After speaking, he said to the man: "Junyi, don't hurry up and give General Duliao a salute." ”

When the young general heard that this person was Lu Bu, he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted Lu Bu. "Hejian Zhang He saw General Liao." Lu Bu sighed, this time fighting with the Xianbei people, all kinds of soldiers and horses are really a gathering of heroes. I just accepted a little brother Zhang Liao, and this time there were two frustrated teachers and Zhang He.

It's all here, find a way to keep it for your own use, the soldiers can be returned, and don't go back to the team leader. Lu Bu enthusiastically helped Zhang He, holding Fu Zhu with one hand and Zhang He with the other, and the three of them shared a car and entered the city together. Along the way, Lu Bu kept praising Frustration, saying that a banquet had been prepared in the General's Mansion for the two of them, Zhang He was flattered, and Frustrated was very happy, who doesn't like to listen to other people's compliments, let alone compliments from a big man like Lu Bu?

At the banquet, Fu Zhu introduced the situation on his side to Lu Bu, and after Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, received the holy decree, he did not dare to slack off, and urgently convened his subordinate officials to discuss the matter of sending troops. In the end, the soldiers of the counties and the troops directly under the Assassin's Mansion were recruited, and 25,000 people were gathered in the shortest time, of which 5,000 were cavalry and 20,000 infantry. These 5,000 Hejian elite cavalry, but the elite of the Jizhou Army, the flesh of Lord Shi's heart, but there is no way, who made the combat power of the county soldiers too poor to be on the table.

Fu Zhu is familiar with military affairs and has a long history, so he naturally leads the army to help. Fu Zhu told Lu Bu that there might be reinforcements in the future, and Lord Wang Fen was recruiting young men and soldiers in the township. In addition to the food, grass, equipment, and military salaries escorted by his own army, they will also arrive one after another. Just outside the city were the 5,000 cavalry, and the infantry was still 50 miles away.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the efficiency of Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, and ordered Jia Xu to write a letter on his behalf to express his gratitude. Then he said to Fu Zhu: "Mr. Gonghe, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou are still under the command of Mr. and Lord Zhang He, and Mr. Bu also needs Mr. and Wen He to help me plan an offensive and defensive strategy against the Xianbei people, Mr. Wanwang should not refuse." He was very pleased to hear that Lu Bu's words were from the bottom of his heart, and he really relied on his military talents, so he was very pleased, and naturally said that there was no problem.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang He again and said: "Zhang He, I will not despise you because you are young, as long as you fight against the Xianbei people and make military achievements, I will promote you as a captain, and no one stipulates that you can't be a general if you are young, if Jizhou does not agree, you will come to me." This is naked pulling people, Zhang He is also very excited, Lu Bu promised in public that he would be promoted as long as he made meritorious service, what could be more exciting.

After the banquet, Lu Bu asked people to arrange for Fu Zhu and Zhang He and other officials from Jizhou to rest, after all, it was a long journey, but Fu Zhu said that the military situation was urgent, so let's discuss the military situation together, Zhang He naturally followed Fu Zhu, and Lu Bu also secretly admired Fu Zhu.

Everyone came to the large study room of the General's Mansion to discuss together, and a huge map of the northern border counties of the Han Dynasty and the entire territory of Xianbei was hung on the wall. However, on the map, all the information in the Han Dynasty is marked in detail, mountains, rivers, towns, post roads, no matter how big or small; The Xianbei steppe is much simpler, with only the distribution of a few tribes and the names of a few famous mountains and a few large rivers, and that's it.

While looking at the map, Fu Zhi asked Lu Bu, "General, on this map, the information of the Xianbei people is a little simpler, but what is the new news?" Lu Bu waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. Only then did he say: "Our intelligence network on the grassland has not yet been built, after all, the appearance and language of the Han people and the grassland people are too different, and it is not easy to blend in, but we are still trying." ”

"Now the sources of information about the Xianbei people all rely on the caravans that come and go to the grassland, and according to the latest information, although Helian has issued a summoning order, all the tribes have also responded, agreeing to send troops together. However, the gathering of the troops of the ten major tribes still takes time, the Xianbei road in the east and west is far away, and it is deliberately delayed, it is said that until a few days ago, only the Kuitou, Kebineng and Tuoba tribes arrived at the meeting place, and the rest of the tribes are still on the way, at least within half a month, the Xianbei people will not be able to send troops. ”

Gao Shun added: "The new map will be available when Hu Dahu Er returns, and they went to the Xianbei tribe to exchange goods before, and the team brought a cartographer. In addition, I just don't know when the reinforcements from Youzhou and Sili Captain's Department will arrive?"
