Chapter 171: Both People and Money
Seeing Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu leading the army approaching, the emperor with only a few hundred people stood strong, and he unconsciously became nervous.
"Load quickly, transport them all, and don't keep one grain at a time!"
Huangfu Jian looked up at the early sun, and said urgently.
The guards of the Imperial City Mansion did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly loaded and transported, and they were also flustered.
Dong Zhuo's reinforcements rushed over, knowing that they had robbed the money and food, how could they still spare their lives?
"Captain, it's ready." After a long time, a guard came over and said.
"I don't need you to say it, I can see it."
Huangfu wiped the sweat from his head and said angrily.
Then, he looked to the north, estimated the time in his heart, and said to himself, "Old Shi should have gone far......"
The purpose of his stay, in addition to beating the owner of these money, the most important thing is to attract the attention of Dong Zhuo's reinforcements and leave enough time for Shi A to escape!
Feeling the trembling of the ground and the clear sound of horses' hooves, Huangfu Jian took a long breath and whispered to the guard in front of him: "Go east and go to Qi County." ”
Pei County and Qi County are not far apart, but in terms of regional division, Qi County belongs to Pengcheng State and Xuzhou.
The guard was startled, and hurriedly said: "Captain, it's too close, what if Dong Zhuo's reinforcements pursue?" ”
Huangfu Jian suppressed his uneasiness, and said casually: "You don't need to think about it so much, I will write to Peng Chengxiang." When you arrive in Qi County, evade the pursuit, and turn around to Yanzhou as soon as possible to join Shi A! ”
The guard responded, looked at him, and said, "Then, captain, what are you going to do?" ”
"I have my own way, you guys go quickly!" Huangfu said long.
The guard didn't say anything more, took the people and the car, and left quickly.
The emperor stood in place for a long time, watching them, for a while, he fixed his mind, and said, "Who is the person who came?" ”
He also had to wait for the guards of the Imperial City to carry the belongings far enough.
There were only two guards beside him, and one of them said, "It's Zhang Ji." ”
Huangfu Jianchang's expression was solemn, he and Zhang Ji were only famous, they had never seen each other, and they knew very little.
Glancing at the direction in which the carriage left again, Huangfu had firm eyes, turned around and strode forward: "Go to the city tower." ”
The two guards did not say a word, and followed him towards the city gate.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw thousands of troops galloping forward, the dust was rolling, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and they wanted to surround Peixian.
Huangfu stood on the castle tower for a long time, holding a sword in his hand, his palms were full of sweat, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
This is the closest he has come to death!
But on Huangfu's long face, there was no panic, he was calm and calm, and there was a confident smile.
Zhang Ji came not far from the city gate, looked at the only three people upstairs, rode a horse, came to the front, stared at the emperor Jianchang, looked at it seriously, and his face changed suddenly.
Zhang Xiu didn't know Huangfu Jianchang, he looked at it not far away, saw Zhang Ji's color change, and asked, "Uncle, what should I do?" ”
The people on the city tower are obviously fearless, which makes it even more certain that it may be someone from the Luoyang City Imperial Court!
Zhang Xiu didn't know Huangfu Jianchang, but Zhang Ji knew him, because he had been to Huangfu Mansion, and Huangfu Jianchang had a one-sided relationship!
'The second son of the Emperor's Mansion...... Is this the means of the Great Sima? ’
Zhang Ji had a calm face, shocked in his heart.
Huangfu Song is a boulder pressing on their hearts, not to mention Zhang Ji, even if Dong Zhuo comes, he must be a junior!
If Huangfu Song made a move and intervened in Yuzhou, Zhang Ji would not be able to act rashly, who knows what else will be done!?
Zhang Ji thought about it again and again, suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, and said, "How many people did you say before?" Three thousand? ”
Seeing Zhang Ji's expression, Zhang Xiu was a little puzzled: "It's three thousand, under the banner of Lu Bu, the captain of Pingyu." ”
Zhang Ji became even more uneasy in his heart, and said, "I'm afraid it's more than three thousand." Come with me into the city, and the others will stand by! ”
Zhang Xiu didn't know why, but he still followed the horse into the city.
Huangfu Jian, who was on the tower of the city, saw Zhang Ji enter the city, his neck was cold, and his whole body trembled.
The two guards beside him were relatively calm, and said in a low voice: "Captain, it's still too late to run, they haven't sealed the city." ”
Although Huangfu Jian was afraid, he couldn't see it on the outside, and said, "I have to drag it out." ”
The two guards said no more, for footsteps had already been heard.
Zhang Ji came up, looked at Huangfu Jianchang with cold eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Second son of Huangfu, what is this going to do?" ”
Huangfu was stunned for a moment and said, "You know me?" ”
Zhang Ji looked unkind, and said: "Second son, Dong Gong is suppressing bandits in front, and you steal his money and grain in the back, should there be an explanation?" ”
Huangfu Jian smiled and said, "Zhang Ji, you recognize the wrong person." ”
Zhang Ji had a calm face, holding a sword in his hand, and said with a dignified momentum: "Second son, if you don't give an explanation today, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of Peixian!" ”
Huangfu Jian took a few steps forward, came to Zhang Ji, and said in a low voice: "There are things that can be done and said; There are things that cannot be done or said; There are things that can be done and cannot be said. Zhang Ji, if you poke hard, it will not be good for everyone. ”
Zhang Ji's eyes changed slightly, and his expression was solemn.
He understands the meaning of Huangfu Jianchang, and now he will take the stolen goods of Huangfu Jianchang, that is, to break with Huangfu Song, Da Sima Mansion, and the imperial court!
He didn't dare to call the shots for such a big thing!
Huangfu Jian stared at Zhang Ji's face with long eyes, and did not let go of the slightest, seeing that he was silent, he suddenly laughed and left directly.
Zhang Ji's right hand tightened, wanting to stop it, but he didn't dare to move.
Huangfu was unhurried and swaggered down the city tower.
Zhang Xiu had already roughly guessed the identity of Huangfu from the word 'Huangfu', so she naturally thought more, approached Zhang Ji, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, will you let him go like this?" ”
Zhang Ji's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't want to let go of Huangfu Jianchang like this, Dong Zhuo had to kill him.
But if Huangfu Jianchang is detained, how can Huangfu Song give up?
That kind of consequence, Zhang Ji expected, and it is not what Dong Zhuo wants to see now!
Zhang Xiu saw that Zhang Ji didn't speak, but he knew that it was powerful, so he didn't dare to say more.
Huangfu went downstairs for a long time, pulled the horse, and tried to stuff his left foot into the stirrup, but he didn't step on it steadily, stumbled, and almost fell.
He grabbed the saddle with both hands, continued to get on the horse quietly, turned his head to look at Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, and shouted: "Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, if you are willing to go with me, I will ensure that you have a bright future!" ”
When Zhang Ji heard Huangfu's strong shout, his face suddenly shook, and he pushed Zhang Xiu violently, and shouted: "Let him go!" ”
Zhang Xiu was shocked and said, "Uncle!?" ”
"Let's go!" Zhang Ji had a calm face, and pushed hard.
Seeing Zhang Ji's expression, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and turned around and went downstairs.
Huangfu, who was about to leave with a horse, was stunned, he just said casually to hide his panic, how could he really come down?
Zhang Xiu went downstairs and rode on the horse, still unable to calm down in his heart, and raised his hand with difficulty and said: "The second son will not give up, and the last general is willing to follow the second son!" ”
Huangfu Jian's expression was unmoving, thinking of Zhang Xiu's courage in the previous battle with Zhang He, his heart secretly moved, and he laughed: "Within five years, I will protect you as a general!" ”
After saying that, the horse hurried away.
Zhang Xiu looked back at Zhang Ji again, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, but he still followed Huangfu Jianchang away.
Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu walking away, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
"I don't have a choice, you still have it." Zhang Ji muttered softly to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head sharply, only to see that not far away, a large group of soldiers and horses were coming, and the 'Dong' word flag was rustling.
Zhang Ji took a deep breath, tried his best to control his expression, turned around and went down the city tower to greet him.
Catching up with Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuo sat on the chariot, his old face was as murderous as ice, his eyes were like copper bells, and he stared at Zhang Ji fiercely.
There were Niu Fu, Jia Xu, and Hua Xiong beside him, and Guo Yan and others were still chasing Yuan Shu and had not returned to the division.
Zhang Ji knelt down on one knee in front of him and spoke slowly.
After he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo drew his sword fiercely and roared angrily: "What a gut! An dared to lose the old man's money and food! ”
Hua Xiong and the others were startled, and hurriedly stopped and persuaded.
"Dong Gong is angry!"
"Father-in-law, don't blame Shidu, it's not his fault!"
"Dong Gong, Dong Gong is angry, he can't recover the money and grain after killing Shidu, so it's better to find a way to recover the money and grain."
"Get out of the way of the old man!" Where Dong Zhuo is willing to listen, he will cut it with a sword.
Holding heavy troops and sitting in a certain town, money and food are fundamental, if he loses money and food, how can he lead the troops and control Yuzhou?
Niu Fu, Hua Xiong and others have a lot of friendship with Zhang Ji, and they are desperately trying to stop it.
"You mean, it was the second son of Huangfu who kidnapped Zhang Xiu and robbed him of money and grain?" Jia Xu spoke suddenly, looking at Zhang Ji quietly.
Zhang Ji didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Yes." ”
Dong Zhuo's chest rose and fell, his hand held a sharp sword, and the killing intent on his face was like substance, undiminished.
The money and grain were robbed, and his joy of winning Yuan Shu was instantly wiped out!
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Ji, his expression did not move, for a moment, he looked at Dong Zhuo, and said, "Duke Dong, immediately write to the imperial court, describe the defeat of Yuan Shu, and ask for money and food." ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes glared angrily, and he shouted, "Could it be that this matter is just settled?" ”
Jia Xu saw that Dong Zhuo was angry and stopped talking.
Dong Zhuo stared at Jia Xu viciously, and then looked at Zhang Ji on the ground, with great hatred in his heart, he threw away the sword in his hand violently, and said, "What do you say?" ”
He had just defeated Yuan Shu, and in addition to driving Yuan Shu out of Peiguo, there was no benefit at all for the time being. Money and food have been robbed again, and the situation is very passive!
Jia Xu saw that Dong Zhuo was calm, and said lightly: "Dong Gong, the summer harvest is imminent." ”
Caring about the summer harvest means food!
Dong Zhuo's old face was like iron, and his killing intent was difficult to eliminate, and he said, "The old man can't swallow this breath!" ”
When the money and food are gone, you can 'raise' again, but Dong Zhuo can't bear the humiliation of being calculated!
Jia Xu was silent, but he kept thinking in his heart.
Huangfu Song's hand was beyond his expectations!
The accuracy of the information, the grasp of the timing, and the decisiveness of the attack shocked Jia Xu.
This shows that the imperial court not only knows Dong Zhuo's every move well, but even Yuan Shu knows a lot!
'The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, Huangfu Song is doing this, is he ready to do something to Dong Zhuo? Jia Xu's eyes froze, and he said secretly.
