Chapter 103: Chaos
The next day, the whole army of 1,500 people in Huben was reorganized, and after eating a crude breakfast, they marched towards Zhending County, the seat of Changshan County.
This time, Lu Chen did not divide his troops again, and did not even hide his tracks, allowing the entire army to swagger on the official road. The purpose of marching openly was to tell Zhen Yi where his Tiger Ben Army was, so that they could come to him and discuss exchanging Zhen Mi for Lu Qi. And Lu Chen didn't come to Wuji to tell Zhen Yi that he was not begging him to exchange hostages, so that he would not ask for a price.
Another purpose of coming to Zhending is naturally Zhao Yun, from Zhao Yun's captured relatives, Lu Chen has already learned why Zhao Yun would help Zhen Yi, and also knows that Zhao Yun's family lives in Zhaojiabao. This time, Lu Chen is not here to subdue Zhao Yun, this guy robbed Lu Qi yesterday and disrupted Lu Chen's plan, he is here to take revenge this time, he plans to capture Zhao Yun back to Yanmen to adjust - teach - teach.
What the?
Three visits to the thatched house? Corporal Lixian? Render good for evil?
Fuck off!
Lu Chen said that Lao Tzu is a peddler in later generations, and he is not so highly conscious! I'm going to retaliate! Does Zhao Yun have any sisters and sisters?
Although there are only 1,500 people, there are more than 4,000 horses, which can be regarded as a large army. Naturally, the people of the small towns and villages passing by were all jumping for a while, and then they found that this army of soldiers and horses was moving slowly, but they did not burn and loot, and they did not even look at them, and the people were happy and strange. There are some bold guys who privately say that this army is a fool, and they don't know how to rob some wealth and women, if Lu Chen hears this, he may be angry like something, and he painstakingly restrains his subordinates to deliberately want the people to like and be grateful, but he turned out to be a fool.
Thirty miles is not a long journey, the tiger Ben walks slowly, although the scouts are also sent as usual, but in general, the whole army is not very nervous, and the lazy ones are regarded as spring outings.
Lu Chen had already asked the trap to inquire, there were only more than 1,000 patrols in Changshan County, and there were no more troops, and there were several private armed forces like Zhaojiabao, but they were also uneven, and they were not a threat, so they would not meet Yuan Shao's army here far away from the main battlefield. What's more, Changshan County is adjacent to the Taihang Mountains, on the western line of the boundary between Gongsun and Yuan Shao's territory, from Beixincheng to Taihang Mountain is the corridor of the Black Mountain Army, and the road of grain, grass and ordnance operation has never been touched by Yuan Shao.
After one night, Lu Chen calmed down a lot, and he was not so worried about Lu Qi being robbed, but he was just a little unwilling to send Zhen Mi away.
Pang Tong is also much calmer, and he no longer shouts at the slaughter of the Zhen family with a broken gong, presumably after one night, he has figured out the reason, and wisdom has the upper hand, so he no longer worries about Lu Qi.
In fact, it is very simple, if Lu Qi falls into the hands of Yuan Shao, they will force Lu Chen to withdraw from the army, but for Zhen Mi, Yuan Shao's position is very embarrassing, and if he changes it back, his daughter-in-law is afraid that she will have lost her temper, and if she doesn't change it, she will be the daughter of her friend Zhen Yi. Zhen Yi should be able to see through these joints, and will not hand over Lu Qi to Yuan Shao, but will trade with Lu Chen in private, this is Pang Tong's idea, and it is also Lu Chen's opinion.
In fact, they all underestimated Zhen Yi's ruthlessness and decisiveness, and underestimated Lu Qi's ability to make trouble. In the event with the participation of the tiger girl Lu Qi, wisdom and reasoning are usually useless, and she can decide the direction of the story alone, which is also a kind of ability.
It wasn't until they received Zhen Yi's letter outside Zhending City that Lu Chen and Pang Tong discovered that Zhen Yi was a ruthless person.
After a whole night of searching, Zhen Yi found the whereabouts of Lu Chen's troops, and at the same time, Lu Chen slowly marched towards Zhending, which in Zhen Yi's opinion, was hinting at him. So, Zhen Yi wrote a letter to Lu Chen, and also sent an excellent quality fiery red gemstone as a deposit, full of sincerity, but the content of the letter made Lu Chen stunned.
Zhen Mi's letter is crepe, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the handwriting is beautiful, even the person who wrote the letter is the best goose yellow Shu brocade, Rao is like this, and it can't hide the cruelty and blood that comes out of the letter. The content of the letter is very complicated, first of all, it is a large paragraph of flattering sycophants, praising Lu Bu with the most complicated and gorgeous words, successively killing Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, saving the Han Dynasty and hanging upside down, all this, but everything that Lu Bu has done has been praised, and then it is a compliment to Lu Chen.
Well, this accounts for nine-tenths of the letter and can be skipped, with the emphasis on the end of the letter. Zhen Yi said that he admired Lu Bu's father and son as the world's masters, so he was willing to provide 3,000 taels of silver to make friends. Moreover, Zhen Yi said that his daughter was intercepted and killed by bandits on the way to send off his relatives, and he heard that Lu Chen's soldiers and horses were passing by here, and he wanted to ask Lu Chen to exterminate the bandits and avenge his daughter. Finally, on behalf of the Zhen family, he thanked Lu Chen for collecting Zhen Mi's body and burying it.
"It's fucking ruthless!"
Lu Chen rubbed Shu Jin and gasped, this Nima, Zhen Yi looks like a father?
Although Zhen Yi's letter is subtle and sanctimonious, the central idea could not be more straightforward. He wanted to use the money to buy Lu Chen and let Lu Chen give him a few heads casually, as a thief who intercepted and killed Zhen Mi, which was naturally to save the face of the Zhen family and the Yuan family. And Zhen Mi is probably not a member of the Zhen family from now on, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with the Zhen family.
For the sake of the family, Zhen Yi made such a decision, which may be correct, but it is despised by Lu Chen.
"Miss is not in the hands of the Zhen family."
When Lu Chen was still shocked by Zhen Yi's desperation, Pang Tong had already come to such a conclusion from the letter, which was what he was most concerned about.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen also thought it through, if Lu Qi was in Zhen Yi's hands, he would definitely not dare to mention it, even if it was sent to Yuan Shaojun, he had to mention it to show his innocence. Otherwise, if Lu Chen avenges the Zhen family, he is a merchant family, and if Yuan Shao does not have time to send troops to protect him, he will definitely have to destroy his family.
In this way, there is only one possibility-Zhao Yun did not give Lu Qi to the Zhen family.
"Could it be...... Zhao Yun thinks that the weapons given by Wuji County are too small, and he is ready to negotiate with us to ask for more weapons? Lu Chen muttered.
"It must be so, but in this way, the young lady is not in danger." Pang Tong smiled rarely.
Now, it's time to wait for Zhao Yun's letter!
How can this thing be a garbled word? Lu Qi, Zhen Mi, Zhao Yun, these three guys beat Lu Chen's plan to a pulp, and the whole thing was like a mess.
Lu Chen then sent a team of scouts to the northwest of Zhending-Zhaojiabao.
Lu Chen turned a blind eye to the situation of hundreds of patrols in the upper districts of Zhending County, and stopped outside Zhending City in a big way, reported the name of the tiger to the city, and ignored it.
