(34) Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan formed a rebellion, and Lu Feng borrowed grain from Yecheng
"Your Majesty, good news!" Zhang Rang held the battle report and ran into the Ganquan Palace, the sleeping palace of the Spirit Emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What good news, show it to me!" Emperor Han Ling was lying on the couch and being fed medicine by Empress He, when he heard Zhang Rang shouting good news, he immediately said to Empress He with fine eyes on his eyes: "Go and get it!" Empress He agreed, stood up and put down the medicine bowl, walked to Zhang Rang to take the battle report and read it carefully: "The two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun repelled the 70,000 troops of the enemy general Bocai in Changshe, and are now marching to Runan to confront the enemy general Peng Tuo in Xihua; Lord Lu Zhi teamed up with General Fenwei to burn 200,000 stones of grain and grass in Changping, causing Zhangjiao's 400,000 army to collapse without a fight, and only 120,000 remnants remained. Now that General Fenwei captured Julu and forced Zhang Jiao to go south to Guangzong's mentor Zhang Liang, Lord Lu led his troops to follow closely behind, and he had surrounded Guangzong. ”
"Hahaha!" Emperor Han Ling laughed: "As long as Zhang Jiao dies, what kind of climate can the Yellow Turban anti-thieves and dragons become without a leader!" It's a pity that after just laughing twice, he spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and fainted on the couch with the good news.
Julu, at this moment, the people in the city are full of lights and are as festive as the New Year.
"Come, I'll wait for a cup of respect to General Junyi!" Seeing Lu Bu raise his glass, the soldiers naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and raised their glasses to Zhang He and said, "Welcome to join me and join the state army!" Zhang He knew that he had offended many people in the Bingzhou army by embarrassing Lu Bu before, and at this moment he took the opportunity to quickly dispel the estrangement in everyone's hearts: "You are short-sighted, and please bear with the generals for the unreasonable things in the past, and you will punish yourself with three cups!" "Everyone saw Zhang He so heroic, Lu Bu beat the side drum on the side, and they no longer blamed him, but they just joined forces to toast Zhang He one after another, and within a few rounds, Zhang He couldn't stand still." Okay, okay, let's stop drinking. Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand, and when they saw Lu Bu stop, everyone also laughed and returned to their seats.
"I can't imagine that there are so many good and bad among the officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army." Lu Bu suddenly changed his tone, and said hatefully, "I think that Luoyang **** is not afraid of life and death, and he is decisive in dealing with things, and he can be regarded as a hero with iron bones." But since the start of the war, they have been poisoned to Mrs. Guo, all of them are this kind of bullying men and women, such villains can be generals, how can this yellow turban thief be invincible. Listening to Lu Bu's words, Xun You stood up with a serious expression: "General, since you said this, you just have a lot of words, you have organized more than 20,000 Yellow Turban Army to strengthen the power of our army, but in this way, the general has more than 60,000 people in his hands, and our army food is only enough for ten days, so we must think of a way as soon as possible, otherwise the army's heart will be chaotic after ten days!" ”
"Ah, I forgot about this stubble!" Lu Bu patted his head, couldn't help frowning, pondered for a long time, suddenly glanced at the golden wine glass on the table, and suddenly came to the idea, "Gongda, I asked the public station to order the yellow scarf and everyone's supplies, but do you have eyebrows?" At this moment, Chen Gong walked in laughing: "Just right, in addition to the distribution to the people according to your requirements, we have obtained a total of 50,000 taels of gold, 120,000 taels of silver, 3,000 war horses, 10,000 hard bows, and 30 stone throwing tools. As he spoke, Chen Gong picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip: "Does the general want to buy food?" ”
Listening to what Chen Gong said, Xun You suddenly realized: "I forgot, the Zhen family in Hebei is a famous family in the world, and now Yecheng is only two hundred miles away from Julu, haha, okay, go to Yecheng to buy food!" "Zhen family......" As soon as Zhao Yun picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables, he heard Xu Huang next to him muttering in a low voice, "Zhen family, Zhen Yao girl?" Zhao Yun patted Xu Huang's shoulder: "Hey! Ziming, what's wrong? Xu Huang whispered a few words in Zhao Yun's ear, and the two immediately burst out laughing. Although everyone was full of doubts, Lu Bu was the same as Ming Spiegel in his heart, no need to ask, it must be Zhen Yao's business, thinking of this, Lu Bu immediately threw the chopsticks in his hand over: "What are you two muttering?" Be louder! ”
In the Zhen family's mansion in Yecheng, Zhen Yao, the eldest lady of the Zhen family, was lying on the embroidery bed alone and thinking blankly.
I really didn't expect that my life-saving benefactor was actually Lu Bu, a powerful general who was regarded as the god of war by countless Han soldiers, and in the past few days, Zhen Yao has used all his connections to find Lu Bu's information, and Zhen Yao can't help but admire Lu Bu even more. Although he knew that Lu Bu and Princess Wannian were about to get married, the lingering tall and handsome back in Zhen Yao's mind always lingered in his heart for a long time, could this be a legend...... Love?
"Yao'er!" Mrs. Zhen walked in with a supper and put it on the table, seeing that her daughter looked like Sichun and didn't notice that she walked in, Mrs. Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: It's really a big girl! Thinking that the general named Xu Huang who escorted his daughter back the day before yesterday can be regarded as a promising young man, if his daughter is willing, it is better to recruit him as a son-in-law and not suffer a loss.
"Yao'er, since you returned home, you haven't thought about staying in the house all day long and smiling, do you have a sweetheart?" Mrs. Zhen didn't care if she was straightforward, but Zhen Yao blushed: "Mother, what did you say?" It's just that the general left after saving his daughter and sister, our Zhen family has never owed others, so my daughter misses others! Thinking of Lu Bu's powerful arms, Zhen Yao couldn't help but feel her heart rippling again. Mrs. Zhen nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, how about marrying you to that general!" "Don't!" Without waiting for Zhen Yao to open her mouth to speak, the young Zhen Mi immediately jumped out, "I want my sister to accompany me, my sister is not allowed to marry!" ”
"Mi'er, don't mess around, my mother is talking to your sister about business, don't intervene children!" Mrs. Zhen said angrily, "It's all spoiled by your sister." Zhen Mi ignored her mother, and got into the quilt spread on the bed with a grunt, hugged her sister's arm and shook it: "No, no, Mi'er doesn't want her sister to marry!" Being entangled tightly by her sister, Zhen Yao couldn't continue to discuss with her mother, so she had to hug Zhen Mi, who had been arching into her arms, and whispered: "Okay, my sister is not married, is it okay for my sister to sleep with Mi'er tonight?" Mrs. Zhen, who looked at her with a very pampered look, looked helpless, thinking of her husband's early death, and running the family inside and out, for the youngest daughter, she was afraid that she would no longer have the appearance of a mother.
It is said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was turbulent in eight states, and even if the imperial court army had enough food for a while, it was difficult to settle the battle in one battle. Just when the imperial court celebrated the great victory of Jizhou and the Central Plains, Cheng Zhiyuan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, commanded 50,000 troops to invade the border of Youzhou, and Liu Yan was defeated in three battles and couldn't help but hang up the free battle card and hold on, ten days later, Cheng Zhiyuan led the army to retreat because of the lack of food and grass. Liu Yan took the opportunity to recruit troops on a large scale to prepare for a counterattack against Cheng Zhiyuan.
The recruitment document was sent to Zhuo County, attracting countless good men to compete to sign up. On this day, a young hero saw what he said, and couldn't help shouting, looking up to the sky and sighing. The people around him looked at it, and saw that this life was seven feet five inches, with two ears hanging down and shoulders and arms over the knees, and eyes that could take care of their own ears. couldn't help but talk to each other: Who should I be, it turned out to be the Liu family's seller!
Yes, this person is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after Liu Sheng, the surname of Emperor Liu Mingbei Xuande, only because his ancestors chased Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luting, lost his title, and his descendants fell apart and left this branch to migrate to Zhuo County. His father, Liu Hongshu, was filial piety, but unfortunately died young. Xuande was young and lonely, even though his family was poor, he was still very filial to his mother, and he supported his family by selling and weaving mats at a young age, and he is now twenty-eight years old
Hearing that Liu Bei sighed, a strong man behind him couldn't bear it, and shouted: "The eldest husband doesn't contribute to the country, why do you sigh?" When Liu Bei heard this, he secretly said that this person was extraordinary, and he hurriedly turned to look at it, only to see that the strong man was eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's whiskers, and his voice was like a huge thunder, like a galloping horse. Liu Bei secretly said that he looked like an extraordinary husband and a vulgar man, and hurriedly arched his hand: "The strong man's words are heroic, Xuande admires, dare to ask the strong man's surname?" I saw that the strong man hugged his fists and saluted back: "A certain surname Zhang Mingfei, the word Yide, lives in Zhuo County, has a lot of farmland, sells wine and slaughters pigs, and specializes in making friends with heroes in the world." Just when I saw the public looking at the list, I sighed, so I asked. Xuande said abruptly: "Don't hide the strong man, under the surname Liu Mingbei Xuande, after the king of Zhongshan Jing, but the family road is weak and weak, now I see the yellow scarf wanton, hating the powerlessness to kill the thief, so here is a long sigh, so the strong man laughs!" When Zhang Fei heard this, he patted his chest and said to Liu Bei: "A seven-foot man should serve the country so that he will not be a man in vain. A certain family has quite a lot of assets, and is planning to scatter the wealth to recruit soldiers, if the strong man does not give up, a certain will do something with the strong man. Liu Bei was immediately overjoyed, and the two found a restaurant to drink.
The feast was in full swing, and the two suddenly saw a big man pushing a cart in front of the store, and then entered the store, found an unmanned seat, sat down, and greeted Xiao Er: "Quickly pour some wine to eat, I am in a hurry to rush into the city to join the army." The two turned around to look at it, but saw that this person was nine feet long, his beard was two feet long, his face was like a heavy jujube, his lips were greased, his eyes were like a phoenix, and his silkworm eyebrows were lying on his face: his appearance was dignified, majestic, and he saw a princely image in his gestures, Xuande was different from his appearance, and immediately invited the man to drink at the same table, and the man did not shirk, and walked straight over after being invited by the two.
"A certain family is named Yu, the word is Changsheng, and later changed to Yunchang, and Hedong Jieliang is also a good person. Because of the power of the place, he was killed by me and fled to the rivers and lakes for five or six years. I heard that the army and thieves were recruited here, and I came to apply. After Guan Yu drank a glass of wine, he hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask the two strong men with their names?" Zhang Fei got up and said: "A certain surname is Zhang Mingfei Yide, this is Liu Bei Liu Xuande after King Jing of Zhongshan." Hearing the four words King Jing of Zhongshan, Guan Yu couldn't help but be in awe of Liu Bei: "It turned out to be royal blood, disrespectful and disrespectful." Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand: "The children of the decline, now they are just a seller of mats." At the moment, Guan Yu was informed of the ambitions of the two and invited Guan Yu to go with him, Guan Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed. The three of them left the restaurant and came to Zhang Fei Manor, five miles outside the city, and set up a banquet.
When it was over, Zhang Fei took the arms of the two and said: "Two brothers, I haven't been so happy since I was born, since you and I have the same ambitions, we are like each other at first sight, why don't you become brothers of the opposite sex?" There is a peach orchard behind a village, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom at the moment, Yide suggested that the three of my brothers should pay tribute to heaven and earth in the garden at noon tomorrow, and work together to create a meritorious achievement. Liu Bei and Guan Yu supported each other and said in unison: "This is a very good statement, according to what the virtuous brother said." Before long, Zhang Fei instructed the servants to bring in the wine and food, and the three of them, who were already drunk, drank happily again.
The next day, in the peach orchard to prepare the black cow and white horse sacrifice and other items, the three of them burned incense and bowed again and said the oath: "Today, there are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei three like-minded hearts, see each other as they wished to become brothers of the opposite sex, reported to the country under An Lishu, do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, the same day, death and life are accompanied by the murderer, if this oath is violated, people and gods are angry!" After speaking, the three of them kowtowed to each other, with Xuande as the brother, Guan Yu as the second, and Zhang Fei as the younger brother, the three laughed heartily, gathered the villagers to win three hundred soldiers, and set up a banquet in the peach orchard to drink.
While talking and laughing, the servant came to report that there were two people outside the village with a group of unknown horses asking to enter the village for a while. Liu Bei asked, laughing and said: "Those who come are all guests, Yun Chang and Yide, and they will be greeted outside the village by their brothers!" After entering the village, the two sides exchanged their names Xuande and learned that these two people were Zhongshan businessmen: a Zhang Shiping and a Su Shuang, who went north every year to sell horses, and recently returned because of Kou Fa. The two of them felt Liu Bei's kindness and sincerity in killing thieves to repay the country, and they were willing to send fifty good horses; He also gave five hundred taels of gold and silver, and one thousand pounds of iron, which were used as tools. Liu Bei thanked the two, and invited skilled craftsmen to build weapons, Liu Bei held a double-strand sword, Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue knife, also known as Leng Yan saw, weighing eighty-two pounds, Zhang Fei held eight snake spears, and then found two hundred strong after each placed armor, and five hundred people were recommended by Xuande to defect to his old friend Zou Jing, Zou Jing took three people to see Liu Yan, and learned that Liu Bei was the same clan and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and recognized Liu Bei as a nephew on the spot, and allocated 500 men and horses to Liu Bei, and the three brothers since then Zou Jing stationed in Zhuo County without mentioning.
The words are divided into two ends, and Lu Bu in order to raise military food, with Xu Huang as the vanguard, with three hundred personal soldiers to prepare money and gifts, left Julu and went straight to Yecheng, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu received a message from Lu Bu, how dare he snub this great god, you must know that Lu Bu is extremely stable in his own thorn history, and immediately ordered the school captains Zhu Ling and Li Feng to lead an army of 1,000 out of the city and 50 miles to greet each other.
"Lord Han, I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of hard work this time." Seeing Han Fu, Lu Bu hugged his fists. Han Fu smiled: "The general kills the enemy to serve the country, Han Fu should try his best to help, why do you need the general to do your best!" Come, the house has prepared a banquet, first for the general to catch the wind. As he spoke, he was going to pull Lu Bu into the house. Lu Bu sighed, and thought to himself: What a bunch of corpse vegetarian guys. immediately refused: "My lord's kindness Feng Xian should not have refused, but Julu is located in the north of the border, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there are Youzhou Cheng Zhiyuan and Beihai Guanhai eyeing each other, Feng Xian did not dare to be careless, so he quickly received the money and food and left, and when the world was settled, how about Feng Xian asking for this glass of wine at the door?" Lu Bu's words were reasonable, and Han Fu didn't want to say anything more, damn, you don't eat Lao Tzu and save it, and then said: "Okay, then let Fu Zhu take the general to Zhen's house, the official is not feeling well, so he will leave first!" He brushed his sleeves away. Seeing that the guy turned his face faster than turning a book, Xu Huang couldn't help frowning, and just as he thought about the theory, he was grabbed by Lu Bu with one hand and signaled not to say more. Knowing that he had refuted other people's face in public, it was also appropriate to be a little angry, so Lu Bu smiled and didn't speak.
"Don't be frustrated in Jizhou, I've seen General Fenwei." The polite frustration saluted to Lu Bu and said, "My family is like this, don't be surprised by the general, frustration is here to make amends." Lu Bu stepped forward to help him up and said: "Gong and Yan are serious, as early as Yuan Hao in Bingzhou, he said that Fu Gong and Cai Gao Badou look dignified, and today I saw that my appearance was really extraordinary!" Frustrated, he said ashamedly: "Thanks to Yuan Hao's false praise, I dare not be ashamed!" Although he had only talked to Lu Bu for a few words, he clearly felt that Lu Bu was extraordinary, and his appearance was not something in the pool. So he didn't say anything more, and took Lu Bu to the Zhen family's mansion.
"Madam, ma'am, the general who sent the young lady back to the house a while ago is back!" received a report from the domestic servant, and Mrs. Zhen hurriedly dressed up and went out with a bunch of house slaves to greet her. "The previous general Kurama Lawton escorted the little girl back to the house, and the concubine thanked her here." Under the introduction of Fu Zhu, Mrs. Zhen hurriedly said hello to Lu Bu and then turned to Xu Huang and said, "Since the little girl returned to the house, she has always been obsessed with the general!" "Ahh Xu Huang looked at Mrs. Zhen with an embarrassed face, "Madam, I'm afraid you have made a mistake in this ......"
"Mother!" Before the words fell, Zhen Yao walked out with a red face and gave Xu Huang a salute, "My mother misunderstood the general, and I hope the general will not be surprised." While speaking, Zhen Mi, who had been wrapped behind Zhen Yao, said to Lu Bu, "Oh! He grimaced and cried out in a milky voice, "Big villain, why are you here again?" You are not allowed to rob my sister with me? Looking at the young Zhen Mi's hostile look, Lu Bu said helplessly: "Girl, when did I rob your sister!" Zhen Mi hugged her sister's waist, buried her face behind her sister and shouted: "There is it, I obviously want to deny it when I see you holding my sister!" ”
"Uh, hahaha!" As Zhen Mi finished speaking, everyone understood the reason, and Xu Huang couldn't help but laugh at first: "General, I Xu Ziming can't carry this black pot for you!" Lu Bu shook his head and kicked Xu Huang hard, Mrs. Zhen, who suddenly realized it, laughed embarrassedly, and ordered the servant to take Zhen Mi down, but Zhen Mi cried and shouted and pestered Zhen Yao, and in desperation, Zhen Yao had to look at Lu Bu reluctantly, and then turned around and took her sister back to the room.
"Mrs. Zhen, I came here first, in fact, I have something to ask for." In the hall, the two sides sat down, and Lu Bu hugged his fists and said, "My army is stationed in Julu, and there are only ten days of rations left for grain and grass due to the sharp increase in prisoners. As he spoke, at Lu Bu's signal, Xu Huang led a group of personal soldiers to put ten boxes of gold and silver in the hall. The eyes of the servants in the hall were straight when they saw the golden jewelry, but Mrs. Zhen said to Lu Bu without even blinking her eyes: "General, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, you don't have to see our Zhen family clearly, yes, our Zhen family is in business, but we will not make a fortune." The general should take this money back! As he spoke, he turned around and called the butler: "You personally take the general's subordinates to the granary to count the grain and grass." ”
"I didn't expect Mrs. Zhen to be so generous, but Feng Xian was short-sighted." Lu Bu got up and gave a big salute to Mrs. Zhen: "Feng Xian is here to make amends to Mrs. Zhen." Mrs. Zhen smiled and waved her hand, and continued: "The general understands the righteousness, and the concubine is also very admired. However, at present, my Zhen family's food stock is limited, and only a part of it can be temporarily transported to alleviate the urgent need, the eldest daughter of the concubine, Yao'er, has followed the concubine to learn the way of management since she was a child, and the concubine has the courage to propose, Yao'er temporarily follows the general to the north to Julu, in charge of the distribution of money and grain, and the concubine personally makes up the wrong money and grain, and guarantees to make up enough rations for the army within ten days. ”
"This ......" Lu Bu hesitated for a while, thinking that there was a request for someone at the moment, so he opened his mouth and agreed, "Okay, so everything is subject to Madame's arrangement." Hearing Lu Bu's agreement, Mrs. Zhen nodded with a smile, and said secretly in her heart: "Daughter, the opportunity is given to you, it depends on how you grasp it!" ”
