Chapter 45 Westward Advance to Yanzhou

Vice General Xu is close to the Huotou military set: "When will Wen Hou send troops to Luoyang." ”

Huotoujun scratched his head: "Vice General Xu, don't be funny, how can I know these major military things as a cook, but eating meat in the army is not common." ”

"Good, thank you, thank you."

Vice General Xu thought that Lu Bu was going to send troops, and stayed for three more days, but there was not only fish, but also meat, and it turned out that the food of the Qingzhou soldiers had increased.

Every day, I watched Lu Bu train the troops ruthlessly, and the slogans shouted loudly, and sent troops to Luoyang to rescue the Son of Heaven, but there was no movement for a long time.

Vice General Xu couldn't hold back a little and came to find Chen Gong.

"Strategist, I've been waiting for a few days, and I'm going back first."

Chen Gong smiled: "Vice General Xu is in a hurry, but this matter is not in a hurry, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers are all new soldiers, if you don't train the soldiers, you won't even walk neatly." Early tomorrow morning, we will arrange for Cao Xing's 500 vanguard army to go to the Tiger Prison Pass first, you can go together, there will be a response on the way. ”

"Yes, thank you for your attention."

On the same day, I smelled the fragrance of the dough cake, which was the fire head army making cakes for the pioneers.

Lu Bu's subordinates, Cao Xing's five hundred men and horses are the most bitter, they march without a big tent, do not bring a big iron pot, only a small tent, a small pot, eat on the road is a casual bite, the dough cake is delicious when it is first made, and it is okay for a day or two, but after three or four days, the hardness of the dough is comparable to a stone, and you need to soak it in boiling water when eating.

In the early morning of the next day, Vice General Xu came to Cao Xing's rendezvous, and his eyes were red when he saw the equipment.

One person has two horses, one on horseback, and the other horse carries a small amount of baggage, and the whole team has no long weapons, all bows, arrows, and sabers. He was wearing iron armor.

The vanguard marched very quickly, but it took four days to reach the Tiger Prison Pass.

Xu Rong came to see Cao Xing: "Brother Cao, why didn't Wen Hou come?" ”

"The army of Wenhou is being assembled, and it will take time. Here is a letter written by Marquis Wen, and I also ask General Xu to take a look. ”

Cao Xuan handed the letter over, Xu Rong looked at it, and handed it to Li Su next to him.

The letter was arranged by Lu Bu, and the army came soon, asking Xu Rong to prepare the camp in advance, and he didn't say anything else.

"Okay, Brother Cao sent someone to reply to Wen Hou, and everything will be ready."

Ten days later, LΓΌ Bu led a large army from Jinan County, with few soldiers and horses. There are only 700 cavalry in the headquarters, 700 in the trap camp, and 10,000 in the Guanhai department.

With the addition of the strong men who transported the baggage, it was barely less than 20,000 people.

But the battle was not small, Lu Bu announced to the world that Wang Yun was autocratic, killed Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, and imprisoned Emperor Xian. Lu Bu sent troops this time to save the Son of Heaven from danger, report to the Son of Heaven, and go down to the people.

The march was only fifty or sixty miles a day, and they got up early to march and set up camp at noon.

Wherever the army passed, there was no offense in the autumn, and even the war horses obeyed the rules and did not eat the green crops of the people.

After several days of trekking, the team entered the border of Yanzhou, a state of the Han Dynasty and the center of the war, and the people were displaced.

At noon that day, the army passed through a small town and camped outside the town, and the people of the town were nervous.

Lu Bu led Cheng Lian and a few others, lightly armed, and pulled the grain to the thatched hut outside the town, where about hundreds of homeless people gathered.

The people stopped at the entrance of the village and took the grain from the wagon.

The homeless people are hiding at home and dare not show their heads, and this year the soldiers have been like a wash.

There were two children, skinny and ragged, fishing for small fish by the river, and they ran late, so Lu Bu stopped them.

"Two children, what are you doing?"

The two children are not big, they are just in their teens, and when they saw Lu Bu so tall and mighty, and they were surrounded by soldiers in armor, they were already stupid.

"Fishing."

Lu Bu saw that there were a few small crucian carp in the broken barrel, and their stomachs were bulging.

Lu Bu squatted down and discussed with the two children: "I'll give you some food, will you put the fish away?" ”

When a child saw Lu Bu speaking kindly, he became bolder: "Why? At this time, the fish is fat. ”

"At this time, the fish is producing seeds, and there are thousands of fish eggs in their stomachs. Killing a fish at this time is equivalent to killing tens of millions of fish, and it will be difficult to catch fish in the future. ”

Lu Bu beckoned and took half a bag of grain for the two.

"After the fish is released, take the grain back to the village, tell the people in the village, and say that Lu Bu has come to release the grain."

The documents that followed, writing hard, and writing down the matter of Lu Bu releasing the fish, all of which had to be vigorously promoted.

It would have been a wonderful thing if it had ended here, but the boy with the food on his back suddenly burst into tears.

"My mother is sick and dying, she can't drink a bowl of fish soup if she wants to."

Lu Bu looked at it and was embarrassed, why is it so difficult to do a good deed.

"Okay, it's not right, I didn't understand the situation clearly, what's wrong with your mother?"

"When my mother was chopping firewood, she was pierced in the arm by firewood, she had a fever, and she had no money to get medicine.

"Confused, I can't drink fish soup if I'm stabbed, take me back to see if I can be saved."

The two children were stupid, how dare they disobey Lu Bu, and rushed home with Lu Bu.

The low thatched house, the fenced courtyard, the small courtyard is simple, but it is well tied, there is a small vegetable field in the courtyard, and the green vegetables are growing vigorously.

"Sister-in-law, I'm passing by here, I heard that you are sick, and I know a little bit about medicine, I want to show you, is it convenient?"

The two children went in first, and they heard a woman's voice from inside: "Come in, country woman, not so particular." ”

The door was low, Cheng Lian went in and beckoned Lu Bu and Li Ding to come in.

And he saw a woman lying on a bed, with chapped lips and an ugly complexion, as if she was indeed sick.

Li Ding went up and felt his pulse, and then looked at the big pustule on his arm.

He said to the woman, "You are very sick, but you are 70% sure, and if you can't be cured, don't blame me." ”

"Lord Langzhong, don't bother, the woman is penniless, and she can't afford to pay the consultation fee."

Li Ding didn't talk nonsense, took a little sugar, poured it into a porcelain bowl, and asked the two children to give it to his mother.

followed by taking out the silver needle, allowing Lu Bu and Cheng Lian to dodge, and punctured the pus on his arm.

"The meat on this is already necrotic, if you don't deal with it, even if it is cured, your arm will be useless, bear with it."

Li Ding gave the woman a branch to bite into her mouth, and took out a sharp knife to clean the wound.

After a while, the wound was cleaned, ointment was applied, and three more amoxicillin pills were fed.

Li Ding asked, "How are you feeling?" ”

"I feel much better and stronger."

In fact, this is all an illusion, it turned out that I was hungry and didn't eat, so I drank some sugar to recover my strength.

"There are three gold sore pills here, one a day, and if you get better in three days, your life will be saved."
