When Liu He was in Yecheng, Lu Bu, who had already lost and was about to have nothing, also temporarily settled down in Anyi. If it weren't for Zhao Yun receiving Liu He's instructions and deliberately releasing the water, I was afraid that Lu Bu would not even be able to get the safe place of Anyi.

Lü Bu's original plan was to take the Son of Heaven and a cadre of ministers hostage to Anyi, and then seek support in the direction of Luoyang in the name of the Son of Heaven, but when he crossed the river to the north, he was put on a position by Sima Yi, and the Son of Heaven actually went down the river by boat, leaving Lü Bu riding a red rabbit horse on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Lu Bu once suspected that Huangfu Jianshou was in charge of this matter, but Huangfu Jianshou insisted that he didn't know, otherwise how could he not take the opportunity to leave by boat? Afterwards, Lu Bu investigated, and in addition to carrying Liu Xie and more than a dozen guards, the two ferries that broke away from the team left with the Sima family, which also confirmed Huangfu Jianshou's words from the side.

In fact, the reason why Huangfu Jianshou insisted on staying was not only to cut off Sima Yi's empress, but also to worry that the ministers of the court who could not escape would be killed by Lu Bu, and he and Wang Ling both felt that as long as the Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang smoothly, his own people, including the court ministers controlled by Lu Bu, could finally leave Hedong safely and return to Luoyang.

When he arrived in Anyi, Lu Bu's men could barely muster together 2,500 soldiers and horses, and Huangfu Jianshou had more than 1,500 men under his command, plus more than 1,000 officials and their families, which was a team of about 5,000 people. At this time, Anyi was in the window period when all forces did not intervene and interfere, and Lu Bu drove into the city with the team very smoothly.

Looking at Anyi City, which was looted by Yuan Shao, Lu Bu really wanted to scold a few words, he thought that Anyi was very rich and could be replenished when he got here, but Yuan Shao scraped the ground when he left, and now except for leaving Lu Bu with pieces of empty houses, other things seem to be scarce.

The strategist Wang Kai comforted Lu Bu and said: "General, don't be discouraged, although the vicinity of Anyi has been looted by Yuan Shao. But he couldn't move the salt pond, as long as he sent troops to defend it, it wouldn't be long before he could exchange a large amount of money and food! ”

When Lu Bu heard Wang Kai's words, he felt a little better, and he suddenly remembered that his logistics officer Qin Yi had no news so far, so he sighed and said: "Alas, I was in a hurry to retreat from Chang'an at that time, and I don't know if Qin Yi escaped, if he is here, I don't have to worry about money and food." ”

Wang Kai suggested to Lu Bu again: "General." Now that we have a limited number of soldiers and horses, we should look for an opportunity to pull the soldiers under Huangfu Jianshou over! ”

Lu Bu nodded and agreed with Wang Kai's proposal. "Keeping the emperor's life always makes me feel uneasy, I have long wanted to drive him away, but unfortunately I have not been able to find a suitable opportunity."

"General, there is a golden opportunity now. Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi stationed a large number of soldiers and horses in Jiangyi, and the general transferred Huangfu Jianshou to Wenxi in the north of Anyi in the name of guarding against Lu Yi. Let him resist Koji. If the emperor is stubborn and disobedient, the general can justifiably get rid of him; If Huangfu Jianshou received the order, the general would only allocate 500 soldiers to him, and he would definitely flee with these soldiers at that time. ”

"Good. This idea is wonderful, and it can be regarded as leaving a way for Huangfu Jianshou to live, if he is not enlightened, he has to fight with me to the end. When the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Lu Bu and Wang Kai conspired, and then called Zhang Liao over and quietly confessed. After hearing this, Zhang Liao felt that Lu Bu was a little despicable in acting like this, but it was not good to disobey Lu Bu's intentions, so he had to nod silently in agreement.

After all the people who entered the city had settled down, Lü Bu sent Zhang Liao to see Huangfu Jianshou and asked him to go to Lü Bu's account to discuss matters. Wang Ling, who had been giving advice to Huangfu Jianshou, hurriedly glanced at Huangfu Jianshou and reminded him not to agree to this matter easily, but Huangfu Jianshou felt that the soldiers and horses he mastered were evenly matched with Lu Bu, and he was not afraid of what Lu Bu would do, so he agreed to Zhang Liao.

In the afternoon of the same day, Huangfu Jianshou came to see Lu Bu with a team of guards, and Lu Bu came out of the camp to greet him, and everything was normal.

After the two sat down, Lu Bu pretended to say a few words to Huangfu Jianshou, and then sighed and said, "Alas, we are trapped in Anyi now, and we don't know how many days we can live safely." ”

"Why is General Lu so pessimistic? Although we have few soldiers and horses, we have more than 4,000 people in total, and if we rely on the city for defense, how can we hold out for more than half a month. Now that the troops of all parties in Hedong are empty, as long as we get in touch with Luoyang as soon as possible and let Luoyang send troops to reinforce us, we will not be in any danger. ”

"What General Huangfu said is reasonable, but don't be too optimistic. I have already found out that Jiangyi, a hundred miles away from Anyi, is now stationed with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses are under the command of Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi. If Lu Yi suddenly sends troops south to attack Anyi, with only our current troops, I am afraid that we will not be able to defend it. ”

When Huangfu Jianshou heard Lu Bu's words, he immediately frowned and was silent.

Wang Kai interjected: "General Huangfu, it is better for you to lead a part of the troops and horses to Wenxi, forty miles north of Anyi, and closely monitor the movements in the direction of Jiangyi, so that once Lu Yi makes a move, he can also block one or two, and he can also report the enemy situation to Anyi in time." ”

Having said that, if Huangfu Jianshou still doesn't understand the purpose of Lu Bu calling him to come to discuss matters today, then he won't have the face to say to people in the future that he is the eldest son of Huangfu Song, a famous general of the Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Jianshou knew that this was Lu Bu's desire to drive him away from Anyi, and if he didn't agree, he was afraid that it would cause another scuffle in Anyi City like he did last time in Chang'an City.

"I don't know how many troops General Lu allocated to me?" Huangfu Jianshou held back the anger in his heart and asked with a dark face.

"Now we are very nervous about the soldiers and horses, there are more than 3,000 people in total, this time we can only allocate 500 infantry to General Huangfu, if General Huangfu feels that the troops are insufficient, you can recruit along the way, and after a while, I will send someone to send you a batch of grain and grass baggage, so that you can be stationed in Wenxi with peace of mind."

Huangfu Song Jianshou's heart suddenly galloped, if it weren't for knowing that he really couldn't fight Lu Bu alone, he would almost have to pull out the long sword on his waist and fight with Lu Bu.

Huangfu Jianshou wanted to deal with the current danger first, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, everything will be according to the orders of the former general." I'll go back to the camp now to mobilize my troops and horses and go to Wenxi. ”

"General Huangfu doesn't have to go back to the camp, he has already arranged to prepare five hundred infantry and the required food and grass for you, you can take them to Wenxi now!" Lu Bu sat in the tent and said expressionlessly.

"Good! Good! Huangfu Jianshou coldly said two "good" words, and walked out of Lu Bu's big tent with a cold face.

Outside the tent, Zhang Liao stopped in front of Huangfu Jianshou and said softly: "General Huangfu, the former general ordered me to send the general out of the city, and five hundred soldiers were waiting outside the camp. ”

Huangfu Jianshou knew that it was irretrievable at this time, since Lu Bu was determined to drive him away, if he was still forced to stay in Anyi, he was afraid that his life would be in danger, so he left with Zhang Liao and took five hundred soldiers out of the east gate of Anyi City.

Outside the east gate, Zhang Liao saw that there was no one left and right, and kindly reminded Huangfu Jianshou and said: "General Huangfu, it is better to make a decision immediately, directly take these soldiers to the south, and go to Luoyang after crossing the river!" ”

"Thank you Wenyuan for your kindness, but if I leave, it will make people laugh at the soft bones of the Huangfu family! Although Wenxi is dangerous, it is also dangerous but Anyi, and this time he took five hundred soldiers to guard Wenxi, but I want to see who comes back to take the good head on my item! ”

Seeing that Huangfu Jianshou was so resolute, Zhang Liao was also a little surprised, he had already finished what he should say, since Huangfu Jianshou was only interested in righteousness, then it was not good for him to bother with more words.

"Wen Yuan, there is a reluctant request, for the sake of the court and for yourself, you must try your best to prevent the former general from killing at will! In addition, my friend Wang Ling is still staying in Anyi, he is good at strategy, and he has a very personal relationship with Jia Liangdao who is stationed in Shaanxi County, if Anyi is in danger, you might as well contact him! ”

"General Huangfu's words, Zhang has taken them to heart, I am happy to hear this, please take care!"

The two said goodbye outside the east gate, Zhang Liao turned over and returned to the city, and Huangfu Jianshou took five hundred infantry and headed north without looking back.

After Lu Bu drove away Huangfu Jianshou, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and now he found that wonderful feeling of life and death. In order to prevent the ministers and their families from escaping without permission, Lü Bu sealed three of the four cities in Anyi, leaving only the south gate for people to enter and exit, and also sent several of his henchmen and generals to guard the gate in turn.

Huangfu Jianshou came to Wenxi with a small number of poor 500 soldiers, but he was not bent on waiting for death, he took the position of Wenxi county commander, commanded the soldiers to clean up the garbage that had been piled up in the city for many days, issued a notice to reassure the people, and maintained law and order in the city, and seemed to have completely forgotten that Jiangyi, which was less than 60 miles away from Wenxi, was still garrisoned by 20,000 troops of Luyi.

When Lu Yi, who was stationed in Jiangyi, learned that Lu Bu had only sent 500 people to guard Wenxi, he felt that he had been teased, and he wanted to teach Lu Bu a lesson, so he sent 3,000 soldiers to prepare to attack Wenxi.

Just as Lu Yi was about to send troops, a messenger came out of the newly built pass at the western end of Yiguan and sent a letter to Lu Yi on behalf of Zhao Yun. In the letter, Zhao Yun warned Lu Yi to maintain the status quo, and if he dared to send troops south to capture Wenxi and Anyi, then Zhao Yun would give orders to the troops stationed at Huguan and Tianjing Pass to attack Shangdang, and Zhao Yun would also send troops from Yiguan to Hedong to attack Lu Yi.

Lu Yi has always had no one in his eyes, but after he read Zhao Yun's handwritten letter, he felt a little powerless. Lu Yi believed that Zhao Yun did not write this letter to scare him, because Zhao Yun did not need to do this, and now the troops of Dian Wei and Wen Chou were stationed in Yiguan, if Zhao Yun led the Shenxi army, as long as Zhao Yun was willing, he could send troops to Hedong through Yiguan at any time, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Lu Yi didn't want to provoke a melee in Hedong because of himself, and since Yuan Shao hadn't given him an order, he didn't see Lu Bu make some small moves with Wen Xi in Anyi, and then continued to be stationed in Jiangyi peacefully. (To be continued......)
