Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Thieves Are Coming
Conquering Hedong and Hanoi was crucial to the development of LΓΌ Bu. Pen, Qu, Ge www.biquge.info the fortress in Hanoi connecting Jizhou and Bingzhou, and Yuan Shao is currently fighting fiercely with Gongsun Zhan, and he has no time to take care of it.
Today, Yuan Shao's strength is the strongest, not only because Yuan Shao has the support of the family, but also because of Jizhou's rich money, food and population. At this point, Lu Bu seems poor and shabby, and without the support of the family, he can't fight a protracted war no matter what. Therefore, the population of the White Wave Thieves and the Black Mountain Army was coveted by Lu Bu.
During the Zhongping period, the Yellow Turban Uprising failed, Zhang Jiao died, and there were two groups of Yellow Turbans that were the most powerful. One is Mrs. Guo, and the other is Zhang Niujiao.
The yellow turbans led by Mrs. Guo hoarded in the Baibo Valley and established the Baibo base, which was scattered throughout the Baibo Valley. Guo Tai colluded with the Xiongnu Nanyu Fuluo, and often plundered Hedong and Hanoi. It is precisely because of the help of the Hun cavalry that Dong Zhuoshi, even if he sent Niu Fu to lead the Xiliang army to conquer and suppress, it had little effect. The two counties of Ha Dong and Hanoi suffered greatly. A few months ago, when LΓΌ Bu fought fiercely with Li Dao and Guo Yan, Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo led their troops to plunder Chang'an, Guo Tai was killed by LΓΌ Bu, and Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao was also killed by LΓΌ Bu later.
The other Yellow Turban thief, originally led by Zhang Niujiao, was later Zhang Niujiao Jizhou County, the middle stream was killed, and before he died, he handed over his subordinates to Chu Feiyan. Chu Feiyan felt the grace of Zhang Niujiao, so he changed his surname to Zhang Yan, known as Feiyan. Nowadays, there are millions of soldiers, scattered in the Taihang Mountain Range. The peaks and peaks of the Taihang Mountains are stacked and green, surrounded by mountains, and the forests are lush and lush, and it is relying on the reckless mountains and forests of the Taihang Mountain Range, and it is difficult to exterminate the imperial court several times of conquest.
"Wenhe, as for the White Wave Thief and the Black Mountain Thief, although their combat power is not strong, after all, they rely on their geographical advantages to defend the danger, and if the army is encircled and suppressed head-on, they will definitely gain nothing. I don't know if I have a plan? β
Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and smiled slightly. Jia Xu's ability, Lu Bu has already seen it. Now there are a lot of fierce generals under his command, but when it comes to strategy, no one can make a statement. This made Lu Bu think of Xun You. Xun You's talent is no less than Jia Xu, but Xun You was born in the Yingchuan family and the scholar family, so he must have rejected Lu Bu in his bones. So Lu Bu missed out on such a talent, although it was a pity, but it was also very helpless.
But Jia Xu is different, Jia Xu is a native of Wuwei Guzang, and he is from a poor family like Lu Bu, if he can't show the ability to achieve the karma of the king, Jia Xu will leave. But not at the moment. At least for now, Lu Bu gradually has the capital to dominate the world.
Jia Xu looked very aware of it, and said lightly: "The imperial court and the counties in various places, although they have levied the White Wave Thieves and Black Mountain Thieves several times with little success, it is because once the war is unfavorable, these Yellow Turban thieves will escape into the reckless mountains. In this case, you can lure it and lure the snake out of the hole. β
"Lure the snake out of the hole?" Lu Bu groaned slightly, his eyes lit up, and said, "Wen He woke up the dreamer with a word." β
"Report!"
At this moment, a personal soldier entered from the tent and said to Lu Bu and Jia Xu: "Lord, military advisor!" Then he said to Lu Bu: "General Gao is leading the army." β
"Oh?" Lu Bu got up and said happily: "Ziqian is here?" Let it in! No! Lu Bu stopped: "Or Ben will personally go to greet him." β
As he spoke, he strode out of the tent. Jia Xu on the side was curious, he had never seen Lu Bu so solemn towards his subordinates. It seems that this Gao Shun is very trusted by Lu Bu.
Jia Xu got up and walked out of the big tent with him.
"The last general is Gao Shun, see the lord." Outside the gate, Gao Shun was dressed in a military uniform, his momentum was awe-inspiring, his expression was more vigorous than in the past, a national face, resolute and resolute, and his eyes were more aggressive.
Since the killing of Dong Zhuo, Gao Shun was sent by LΓΌ Bu to annex Hanoi, firstly to guard against Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang, and secondly to train soldiers and horses.
If you want to say that the most loyal person under your command, only Gao Shun. Not only that dream, but also with Gao Shun for many years, that brotherhood and friendship also made Lu Bu absolutely believe in Gao Shun's loyalty.
"Ziqian, please get up!" Lu Bu helped Gao Shun up, and then pointed at Jia Xu and said: "Ziqian, Wen He must have known you, and now he is the general's military advisor." β
Gao Shun bowed to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also returned the salute. In the past, they were under Dong Zhuo's command, and they had several encounters, and they also knew each other.
"Ziqian, how are the soldiers and horses training now?"
"The lord, when the last general was in Hanoi, he trained soldiers and horses all day, and now the trapped camp has expanded to 1,500 people, and this time the last general will bring all the trapped camps and hand them over to the commander of the lord."
Lu Bu knew the power of the trapped camp, and he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Ziqian is training, and Bu is very relieved in his heart. This siege of the city has to rely on Ziqian's trapping camp. β
Gao Shun said modestly: "The lord is serious. Shun used the money and grain of the imperial court to train soldiers and horses, and naturally trained soldiers and horses for the lord. This time, it was also handed over to the lord and the lord. β
"Haha. The power of the trapped camp can only be exerted to its greatest power under Ziqian's command. Wouldn't it have overstepped its bounds? The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, the employment is not suspicious, and the trapped camp is still led by Ziqian. It's just that I don't know how many soldiers and horses Ziqian brought this time? β
Gao Shun was moved in his heart, and immediately said: "This time, Shun brought 8,000 infantry, and 1,500 fell into the camp." β
"Good!" Lu Bu said: "Today let the army rest for a night. also picked up the wind for Ziqian. β
"Thank you, my lord!"
Lu Bu had Gao Shun to lead the troops to help, and now the strength has reached 20,000 and the cavalry has reached 5,000. So many soldiers and horses are stationed in the east of the river, which naturally attracts the attention of the Taishou Wangyi in the east of the river.
Anyi City was too guarded, and when he got Lu Butun's army in Linjin, he sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Lu Bu's army. Now that Gao Shun is leading the troops, he is in a hurry to discuss the civil and military affairs.
"Lu Butun's soldiers are in Jin, their meaning is unknown, and they sent people to come forward, saying that they want to exterminate the white wave thieves for the imperial court, let Ben Taishou, and prepare grain and grass for them, I don't know if it is a false plan to destroy Yu, and its intention is in Hedong?"
Wang Yi looked at the middle staff and asked.
Han Lin persuaded: "My lord, after all, Lu Bu is the imperial court lieutenant, if the army comes, if it is not with money and food, it will definitely be angry, how can my Hedong resist its army at that time?" β
The rest of the others chimed in. There was only one person, but he shook his head and said: "Lu Bu is a wolf with ambitions, and he is a trustworthy and unrighteous person, so he can't be trusted." β
Everyone regarded it as Wei Kai, the head of the Wei family in Hedong. This Wei Kai is over forty years old and is now a different driver under Wang Yi.
Wang Yi frowned and said: "Even so, Lu Bu's army is coming, if it is not, it will give it an excuse to attack Hedong." Although Hedong has suffered from white wave thieves in recent years, the people live and work in peace and contentment. β
Wei Kai had also heard of Lu Bu and knew that although Lu Bu was brave in the world, he was just a reckless man from a poor family, so he naturally didn't take him seriously. In fact, he is optimistic about Cao Cao in his heart. Thinking that when Cao Cao arrived in Hedong in the future, he would do his best to help.
But now that Lu Bu came here suddenly, he had to find a way not to let this person get Hedong, and thought about it: "Lord Taishou is prestigious, and the people love Lord Taishou, Lu Bu is full of ambition, greedy and excessive, and often connives, his soldiers and horses plunder the people, if he is allowed to get Hedong, Lord Taishou does not want to see such a result." β
Wei Kai is right, he doesn't care who Hedong is under his rule, but the last thing he wants to see is a tyrannical and greedy person like Lu Bu occupying Hedong, but Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are there, and they will definitely not be able to defeat him.
"Is there a good way to do it?" Wang Yi looked forward to the road.
Wei Kai smiled and said: "Although the world is in turmoil, and the princes are kings, after all, Hedong is under the rule of the imperial court, and the lord is also the imperial court appointed by the imperial court. How dare Lu Bu attack my Hedong for no reason? β
Seeing that Wang Yi was still puzzled, he immediately continued: "If Lu Bu sends someone to ask for money and food, give it to him. If it storms Anyi, the adults will gather the money, food, soldiers and horses of the surrounding counties to defend Anyi. At the same time, he sent people to Xuchang to ask the Son of Heaven to lead troops here. No matter how bad it is, you can send someone to Jizhou for help, so that Lu Bu and Yuan Shao of Jizhou can fight. β
Wang Yi clapped his hands and said, "Don't drive what you said is in line with your heart." β
Wei Kai is right, Hedong can be under anyone's rule, and it can't be under Lu Bu's rule. Not to mention Lu Bu's excesses, but from Lu Bu's unintentional and unrighteous virtue, he also made Wang Yi despised.
Wang Yi thought about it, and still sent someone to Jizhou for help. Xuchang is far away, because at this moment Cao Cao avenged his father and led his troops to attack Xuzhou, and it was impossible for him to lead troops to help.
At that moment, he wrote a letter, handed it over to his subordinates, and sent it to Jizhou.
After Wei Kai returned home, he also wrote a letter and sent it to Xuchang.
Three days later, Wang Yi was processing official documents in the Taishou Mansion, when suddenly Lieutenant Chen Jun came in a panic and said, "My lord, it's not good. β
"What?" Wang Yi's heart sank, could it be that Lu Bu led his troops to besiege Anyi, wouldn't it, he had already sent someone to send a batch of military rations to Lu Bu's camp the day before yesterday, could it be that Lu Bu had a bad heart. "Lu Bu led his troops to besiege Anyi?"
Chen Jun shook his head and said, "No, it is Yangxian, Beiqu, Puzi and other counties in the north that have been captured by the White Wave Thieves and taken away a large number of women and money and food. Now the white wave thieves are coming south, and they will arrive at Anyi in a few days. β
"What?" Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and at this time, Wei Kai hurriedly came from outside, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, it's not good, I came to report to Malai, that white wave thief has started to plunder the county again, and now he is coming to my Anyi." β
"Huh? How many people came? Wang Yi hurriedly asked, in the past, the white wave thieves also plundered the counties, but they were all petty fights.
Wei Kai's face became extremely solemn and said, "There are about 100,000 horses this time. β
Wang Yi was completely shocked, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Anyi City, how could he be the opponent of 100,000 white wave thieves.
Wei Kai saw that Wang Yi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Right now, your lordship should immediately transfer the soldiers and horses from the surrounding counties to Anyi to defend Anyi." β
"Yes, that's what Wei Beijia said." Wang Yi quickly reacted from the shock.
In the Linjin camp, Lu Bu was training soldiers on the school ground, although it was the end of summer, the scorching sun was still as hot as fire. The sweat on his body flowed like rain.
But without Lu Bu's order, the soldiers were still training in an orderly manner.
Jia Xu braved the scorching sun, came to the general's platform, and said to Lu Bu: "The opportunity has come." β
"Oh?" Lu Bu was in good shape and said, "But there is news from Anyi?" β
Jia Xu nodded, but his face looked a little solemn and said: "The white wave thieves are plundering everywhere, and according to the news from Xizuo, they have now gone south to surround Anyi. β
"Good!" The White Wave Thief has finally been dispatched, if the White Wave Thief has been cowering in the White Wave Valley, it will be difficult for him to conquer it.
"It's just that this time I heard that there are 100,000 white wave thieves besieging Anyi." Jia Xu said again.
"100,000?" Lu Bu touched his chin and said, "It's easy to break." β
