Chapter 122: Crossing the river in batches

Chen Wei and Li Hei are not outsiders and belong to retainers. www.biquge.info they saw Yan coming in with a lacquer plate, so they retreated very interestingly and stayed outside the hall, leaving the space inside to Lu Bu's family of three.

Lu Bu hurriedly got up, grinned and took the red lacquer tray from Yan's hand, then carefully picked up the big pottery bowl, and then grabbed the silver chopsticks, and when he was about to catch a chopstick, he seemed to remember that there was Lu Wen. "Tuan'er, are you hungry?"

Lu Wen, whose face was stained with stove ash, hurriedly shook her head. "Not hungry, not hungry! Daddy, eat it quickly, this is what A-Niang and I made for you together! I've added firewood to blow the fire! ”

Lu Bu looked at the stove ash stained on his daughter's forehead and the tip of her nose, and there was a burst of warmth in her heart. He placed the large clay bowl and tray on the table, then sat cross-legged, raised his chopsticks and grabbed a large soup cake with chopsticks, and then rolled it into his mouth without caring about burning his mouth.

"Well, incense! Delicious! Lu Bu chewed violently while brassing a nasal voice, not forgetting to praise his wife's craftsmanship.

I haven't seen her for two years, and seeing that her husband still likes to eat soup cakes made by herself, Yan's heart has become much more steady.

After dinner, Lu Bu was accompanied by Lu Wen, accompanied by Yan, he walked around in the dock fort, and when he saw people he didn't know, he would comfort everyone a few words.

"Third Grandfather, if you don't have any valuable items, just stay in the dock fort, go to Xihe, and I'll give you all the supplies!"

"Good! Feng Xian said so, why should I be reluctant......"

"Sister, don't wrap silk around your body, on a hot day, aren't you afraid of heat stroke?"

"Okay, you brother, what do you say about your sister! I didn't want to bring you more! ”

Everywhere Lu Bu went, busy people came up to greet him. To put it bluntly, the entire Lu Clan Castle is his family business, and these people are naturally very close to him psychologically, so they don't need to be as cumbersome and polite as outsiders.

The three of them walked around the dock fort casually, which alleviated the original impatient and anxious atmosphere in the fort a lot. When many people saw Lu Bu so leisurely, they would feel that he had everything in his chest, and the panic caused by the siege of the Xianbei people would disappear.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Liao arrived at the east of Wubao with his captives. Wei Yue had already dug a ravine in the slope adjacent to the Wubao and installed a fence in accordance with Lu Bu's instructions, so that it was convenient to guard the more than 3,000 Xianbei prisoners captured by Zhang Liao.

Lü Bu sent an order to provide the captives with some water and food, telling them that as long as they did not try to escape and resist, the Tiance army would not kill them. In the future, the Xianbei people were allowed to buy them with goods and livestock.

Lu Bu's order seemed simple, but it immediately had a reassuring effect. The Xianbei people had lost their horses at this time, and when they were tired and thirsty, if they intimidated or even tortured and killed, it would cause a roar in the camp. There are still more than 2,000 Han Chinese stranded outside the fort, and once there is a riot in the Xianbei prisoner camp, these Han people will inevitably be the first to be harmed.

Whether it is the Xianbei captives or these Han people, it is Lu Bu's harvest from going north to Wuyuan this time, and the senseless loss at this time is equivalent to taking money from Lu Bu's pocket, how can he do this kind of loss-making business?

The next day, the Wuqu men and horses sent out to pursue the Xianbei people returned one after another, and their harvest was naturally not as rich as that obtained by Zhang Liao, Song Xian and Hou Cheng together. However, each song also brought back one or two hundred prisoners and two or three hundred war horses for Lu Bu.

Lü Bu gathered the 5,000 cavalry, and while there was still time to spare, he sent people to contact Xu Rong, who was staying on the other side of the Yellow River to guard the landing site, and then let the armored cavalry cross the river in advance, and then use cowhide rafts, urine bubbles, door panels and other floating carriers to transport the Han people stranded outside the fort to the other side of the river.

In order to ensure the safety of the troops on both sides of the strait, Lu Bu also sent Hou Cheng to Xu Rong's side and put him in charge of guarding and patrolling the other side.

On the third day, all the people in Lü's Dock Fort crossed the river smoothly under the escort of the Tiance Army and came to a temporary camp on the south bank of the river. Then, Lü Bu ordered the nearly 4,000 Xianbei prisoners to be transported to the other side of the river one after another.

Xu Rong's men now had armored cavalry led by Wei Yue, as well as a thousand trapped warriors and the assistance of the Han Chinese in the fort of Lujiawu, which could not only deter these Xianbei captives, but also play a sufficient deterrent effect on the surrounding Southern Huns.

On the fourth day, that is, the scheduled departure time when Lü Bu asked his subordinates to go to the places where the Han people in Chengyi, Yiliang and Wuyuan counties gathered more to publicize. At this time, there were no civilians in Lü's Dock Fort, and it was used as a temporary garrison camp by the Tiance Army.

When the day was just dawning, there were Han people who rushed all the way east from Chengyi to inquire, then the Han people who came from Yiliang County, and then the people near Jiuyuan County.

From these people, Lu Bu learned that there were still some people who were desperately rushing here because they received the news a little late. Lu Bu then decided to stay in Jiuyuan County for another two days.

The tens of thousands of Han people who had rushed to the vicinity of Lü's Wubao were sent to the other side of the river by the Tiance army in batches on the same day.

In order to prevent Xu Rong's side from running out of troops, Lu Bu sent Xue Lan over again. Now he has two generals left under him, Zhang Liao and Song Xian.

On the morning of the fourth day, a large group of Xianbei cavalry came towards Jiuyuan County. Lu Bu was resolutely not afraid, only took Zhang Liao, and led four thousand cavalry to meet the Xianbei people.

He received the news from Budugen two days ago, and learned that the Tiance army had eliminated the tribes of Koons and Huo Chiluo in the territory of Wuyuan, and in anger, he personally led 30,000 tribal warriors to Wuyuan, wanting to see if this Lu Bu had three heads and six arms.

The two sides stopped at the place where they met five miles. He Lian sent someone forward to speak, claiming that he wanted to confront Admiral Tiance in front of the battle.

Zhang Liao didn't wait for Lu Bu to speak, and immediately urged him to come forward and come to see Helian for Lu Bu.

Bu Dugen, who was hidden behind Helian, had seen Zhang Liao from afar, but he had not seen Lu Bu, and when he was frantically fleeing, Lu Bu had not yet rushed to the bottom of the dock fort.

He Lian asked Zhang Liao, why did the Tiance Army repeatedly attack the Xianbei tribe? Zhang Liao laughed loudly, and asked rhetorically why the Xianbei people didn't honestly graze in the north of Yinshan Mountain, and ran to the territory of the Han Dynasty to do something? He Lian quibbled that Wuyuan County was snatched by the Xianbei people from the Southern Huns, and had nothing to do with the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Liao didn't bother to talk to He Lian anymore, and said very domineeringly: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense, the Tiance army will stay in Wuyuan for two more days, if you want to avenge the eliminated Huo Chiluo and the Koons tribe, let the horse come now!" ”

He Lian was forced by Zhang Liao's momentum and did not dare to give the order to attack, and withdrew thirty miles north.
