Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 292 Lu Bu's Letter

The troops on both sides stopped for the time being. After discussing with Xu Rong, Lu Bu led the refugees and began to retreat. However, a new problem soon appeared in front of the two of them.

Food among the refugees is running out again.

These days, tens of thousands of refugees have poured into Lv Bu and Xu Rong's subordinates, and the daily food consumption is astonishing. However, Lv Bu has not found a new source of food. Day by day, the few cottages that were laid down before Grain stocks will soon bottom out.

Xu Rong and Lu Bu sat facing each other. After a long time, Xu Rong said to Lu Bu:
"Isn't Marquis Wen an old friend with that Zhang Yang? Why don't we borrow some food from that Zhang Yang to get through this difficult period first, and then we organize the mountain people to reclaim arable land on the mountain and return it to him next year."

Lu Bu closed his eyes and said nothing, after a while Xu Rong understood, who is Lu Bu?Asking him to give up his face to borrow food from others is a bit difficult for him.

After a while, Lu Bu asked Xu Rong, "The man I captured today claims to be the son of Gongsun Zan. Why don't we use him to exchange some food with Gongsun Zan?"

Xu Rong said: "Marquis Wen, although Youzhou borders Bingzhou, it will take ten days for a few of them to go back and forth. Even if Gongsun Zan agrees, I'm afraid our food reserves won't last until that time."

Lu Bu was silent for another moment, and then said: "Okay, take your pen, and I will write a handwritten letter to Uncle Zhi."

When he heard that Lu Bu could still write with a pen, Xu Rong glanced at Lu Bu in astonishment, then slightly bowed to Lu Bu, and quickly fetched the writing object,
Soon, Lu Bu handed over the written letter and a dagger to two mountain people who knew the way, and asked them to go to Jinyang to ask Zhang Yang for help.

At this time, the place where Lv Bu and others were located was in Taiyuan County. That night, two mountain people came to Jinyang, the prefecture of Taiyuan, and handed Lv Bu's dagger to the soldiers guarding the gate outside the prefect's mansion.

In the prefect's mansion, just after Zhang Yang finished reading the secret report sent by Xue Hong, a soldier guarding the gate came to report with Lu Bu's dagger. Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and hesitated, but then he ordered the two mountain people to be invited in. .

After the gate guard left, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and shouted to the guard:

"Come on!"

Two of Zhang Yang's personal guards stepped in, and Zhang Yang ordered: "Let a few people lie in ambush in the side hall, and listen to my orders at any time!"

The two guards responded in unison:

"promise!"

Soon, the two mountain people were brought to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang got up and asked:
"Who are you? Why do you hold Fengxian's dagger?"

It was the first time for the two mountain people to see such a big official, they were a little nervous for a while, they didn't know what to say, Zhang Yang couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

Until one mountain man pointed to the bulging lump at the waist of another mountain man, the mountain man realized that he was about to reach out to get the letter from Lu Bu stuffed in his waist.

"What are you doing?!"

Zhang Yang looked at the bulging ball on the mountain man's waist, and saw the mountain man stretching out his hand. At this time, he was only ten steps away from the two of them, so he shouted.

When Zhang Yang shouted, a group of guards rushed out from both sides. These were Zhang Yang's personal guards. At that moment, a group of murderous soldiers surrounded the two mountain people with knives, and the two mountain people were trembling all over. , I don't know how to speak.

Among them, the mountain man who was carrying Lu Bu's letter became even more anxious when he saw this situation, and he couldn't get out the letter hidden in his waist in a panic. Seeing his companion in a hurry, another mountain man hurriedly pointed at his companion's waist He said to Zhang Yang:
"There's something in there!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Yang snorted coldly, and then said: "Of course the prefect knows there is something there, why? Do you think you can scare the prefect?"

Zhang Yang then waved his hand, and said: "Left and right! Let me, the prefect, chop these two into pieces!"

"promise!"

There was a sound of orderly responses, and Zhang Yang's personal guards were about to raise the simple knives in their hands to the two mountain men. At this moment, the mountain man finally took out the letter from Lu Bu from his waist. , holding it high to Zhang Yang.

The guards surrounding the two mountain people immediately stopped their movements and looked back at Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang said coldly:

"As usual."

All of a sudden, the hall was filled with blood, and the two mountain people were hacked to death in a pool of blood. A personal guard came to Zhang Yang with a roll of cloth in the hands of the mountain people.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to reach out to take it, he suddenly smelled a sour smell from the cloth, Zhang Yang suddenly showed a disgusted expression, he waved his hand and said to the guard:
"You and the prefect open it to take a look."

The personal guard opened the cloth, Zhang Yang read the text one by one, turned around and took the candlestick on the table, and burned the cloth to ashes bit by bit.

Then Zhang Yang called a scout and ordered him:
"Go and order Xue Hong to cooperate with the Youzhou Army of Chu Feiyan and Gongsun Zan, and must destroy Xu Mu, Lu Lang and the tens of thousands of bandits under his command, and at the same time let him secretly pay attention to Chu Feiyan's bandits. Nest, this prefect will be of great use in the future!"

The scout took the order and left after listening. At this time, the hall was cleaned up. Zhang Yang walked through the hall and came to the door. Looking at the darkening sky, he murmured to himself:
"If you came alone, I would treat you like a brother, but you didn't."

"Raise a banner to recruit tens of thousands of people within my territory, and one Black Mountain Army would be enough for me to worry about. If I let you get up again, wouldn't this Bingzhou be in your pocket?"

In Bingzhou, Chu Feiyan's stronghold of the Black Mountain Army.

Xue Hong had been waiting for Chu Feiyan to call him since he came back from withdrawing troops during the day, but Xue Hong didn't wait for Chu Feiyan's summons until dark.

In the middle of the night, the scouts who came from Jinyang told Xue Hong what Zhang Yang had said, and Chu Feiyan's men knocked on the door of Xue Hong's room just after the scouts left for less than a quarter of an hour.

In the Heishan Military Council Hall, the torches on the wall illuminated the entire hall like daytime, and there were only Chu Feiyan and Xue Hong in the huge hall.

Chu Feiyan said to Xue Hong: "The order from Governor Zhang has arrived?"

Xue Hong said: "Here we are."

Chu Feiyan: "Then can you and I send troops?"

Xue Hong questioned: "How could the leader of Feiyan know my lord's order and let the last general send troops?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Chu Feiyan raised his head and burst out laughing. He patted Xue Hong on the shoulder and said, "There are more than a million bandits, large and small, in the Taihang Mountains? Why can Zhang Yan succeed alone?"

Chu Feiyan finished boasting, and shouted outside the door: "Order the leaders of all the villages to gather troops quickly!"

Xue Hong was startled and said, "Leader Feiyan is going to send troops tonight?"

A ferocious look flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, and he said, "That's right! Tonight, I'm going to make Xu Mu, Lu Lang and the refugees under them bleed like rivers!"
