Chapter 108 Chasing Troops

Chapter 108 Chasing Troops

It is already June, the weather is getting hotter and the rains are becoming more frequent.This is even worse for the people on the road to the west.

The roads are muddy and the weather is either scorching heat or thunderstorms.In such an environment, the disease is even more powerful.

The last group of people who followed Dong Zhuo to move west were mostly officials and family members.Although they do not have to suffer the hardships of walking in a carriage, they are also helpless in the face of the power of nature.

Many people fell ill.Especially the old and young and servants, the number of people who get sick is the largest.The close relatives of officials still have doctors to help them. However, those servants who have no human rights are left unattended. Once they fall ill, it often means going to death.In the end, the corpses were abandoned on the side of the road and left to be eaten by birds and beasts.

Cai Yong was also sick.Originally, he followed Dong Zhuo's large army to move westward, but after falling ill, the Cai Mansion's people moved slower and slower, falling behind, and slowly walked with Lu Bu's army who was at the rear.

When Lu Bu first met Cai Yong, he just said a few words of comfort as usual.However, after Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan appeared, Lu Bu suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.He took great care of Cai Yong. He took military medical officers to diagnose Cai Yong's pulse several times every day, and even prepared medicine for Cai Yong himself. He was almost as good as his own son.

Maybe Cai Yong's life should not have died, or maybe Lu Bu's care helped, Cai Yong's condition gradually improved.

At noon that day, a group of people rested and ate in a small village.

Because of Dong Zhuojun's scourge, people in the villages along the way died or fled.Lu Bu took this small village as a temporary resting place.

The largest residence in the village was naturally occupied by Lu Bu, and Cai Yong was also arranged by him in the same place.

After the chief soldiers cooked the rice, Lu Bu scooped up two bowls of rice himself, and walked into the room where Cai Yong and Cai Yan were resting with the bowls in hand.

"Cai Zhonglang, Miss Yan'er, the meal is ready, you two can eat now!" With a flattering smile on his face, Lu Bu first handed the rice bowl to Cai Yong.

"I'll take care of you first." Cai Yong was polite and took over the job.

Lu Bu handed another job bowl to Cai Yan, and said, "Miss Yan'er, the food in the army is vulgar, and I have wronged you and Cai Zhonglang. When we arrive in Chang'an, Mrs. Lu will host a banquet. Please treat the two of you to a good meal."

Cai Yan took the job and said calmly: "General Lu, you're welcome. The journey is difficult, so it's enough to have enough food."

Seeing that Cai Yan was still lukewarm towards him, Lu Bu was disappointed.Along the way, he had put his attitude to the lowest level, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that everything he did for Cai Yong was out of ulterior motives and nothing more than to please Cai Yan.But Cai Yan has been unmoved. He is more than polite to him, but not close enough.

Is this woman hard-hearted?Lu Bu almost doubted his own charm.

But Lu Bu was not one to give up easily. The more indifferent Cai Yan was to him, the firmer his determination became.The more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes. This is Lu Bu.

Just as Lu Bu was racking his brains to continue talking to Cai Yan, a soldier hurried in.

"General, it's bad, Sun Jian and Cao Cao are catching up with their troops. They are still twenty miles away from here!"

Upon hearing what the soldier said, Cai Yong and Cai Yan stopped their chopsticks at the same time.

Lu Bu frowned and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do they have?"

The soldier said: "According to the scout report, there are about ten thousand people."

"Hehe, there are only ten thousand people." Lu Bu sneered, "When we were at Hulao Pass, Sun Jian and Cao Cao had an enmity with XX. They didn't expect XX to go west, and they still insisted on it. That's okay, XX will go Meet them and let them learn the lesson again."

After speaking, Lu Bu lifted his legs and walked out.After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of Cai Yong and Cai Yan, so he stopped and said to Cai Yong's father and daughter, "Cai Zhonglang, sit down and have a meal with Miss Yan'er, and come back when you go."

"Go ahead, don't worry about me." Cai Yong nodded.

Lu Bu left the room.After a while, Cai Yan said to Cai Yong, "Father, let's go out and have a look."

Cai Yong was startled and asked Cai Yan: "Yan'er, do you want to persuade your father to follow Sun Jian and Cao Cao back to Luoyang?"

Cai Yong guessed Cai Yan's thoughts immediately.Cai Yan nodded and whispered: "Since Sun Jian and Cao Cao are pursuing this, the Kwantung Allied Forces must have reached Luoyang. His Royal Highness King Hongnong will most likely be restored to the throne. Father, instead of going west to serve Dong Zhuo, why not Return to Luoyang and support King Hongnong."

"Oh, Yan'er, you think things too simply." Cai Yong pondered for a while, then sighed.

Then, he explained to Cai Yan: "Let's not talk about whether King Hongnong can be restored, even if he is restored, but at that time, there will be two masters of the country, and the world will be in chaos! Moreover, the cavalry of the Kwantung Allied Army attacked Dong Xiangguo. But they have their own ideas, and it is difficult to form a cohesive force. Even if they support the restoration of King Hongnong, they are still in a state of disunity, unable to compete with Dong Xiangguo at all."

After saying these few words, Cai Yong seemed to have expended a lot of energy, and actually coughed violently.Cai Yan hurriedly stepped forward to beat his back.

After Cai Yong stopped coughing, he waved at Cai Yan.Then he continued: "Luoyang is an empty city now, and it must not be defended. If the Kwantung Allied Forces support the restoration of King Hongnong, they will definitely choose another city as their capital. By then, the old man will have to be displaced again. Dong Xiangguo is not good to me. Bo, how can I leave him? The most important thing is that all the ancient books in the palace have been moved to Chang'an. Restoring Han history is my father's lifelong wish, and only by going to Chang'an can I achieve this wish!"

Seeing that Cai Yong did not listen to persuasion, Cai Yan had no choice but to give up.After a moment of silence, she said again: "Then let's go out and have a look. Lu Bu fought with Sun Jian and Cao Cao, and his swordsman had no eyes. Cao Cao once studied under your disciples. If he loses, you can persuade Lu Bu to show mercy."

Cai Yong nodded, and said: "Yan'er is more thoughtful, so let's go out and have a look."

When the father and daughter found Lü Bu, Lü Bu had assembled his troops and was about to go out to battle.

Seeing Cai Yong and Cai Yan approaching, Lu Bu hurriedly got off the red rabbit horse, went up to meet him and asked, "Cai Zhonglang, Miss Yan'er, what are you..."

Without waiting for Cai Yong to reply, Cai Yan smiled at Lu Bu and said, "I pestered my father to come here. I want to see General Lu's style of killing enemies."

This smile was like three spring flowers blooming suddenly, and the voice, charming but not charming, ethereal and good, made Lu Bu feel refreshed from the top of his head to the heels of his heels.

Lu Bu felt that his spring was coming, and laughed without even thinking about it: "Haha, since Miss Yan'er has such intentions, how dare Lu Mou not follow!"

Then, he ordered his soldiers to prepare a carriage, carrying Cai Yong and Cai Yan, and accompanied the army out of the village.
