Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 129 Grain Issues

"My lord, how to solve the problem of food and grass?" After Fan Chou and Li Meng went to mobilize troops, Jiang Xu approached Lu Bu and said in a low voice.

Xinfeng didn't have any extra food.

"I still need to trouble Boyi to go again." Lu Bu took out the name card he had prepared and looked at Jiang Xudao.

"I don't know where you're going this time?" Jiang Xu asked in confusion as he took Lu Bu's name card.

This name sticker is different from Lingjian, which means to visit.

"Go to Huayin to find Duan Yan." Lu Bu handed Jiang Xu the name card and said to him, "Just tell Duan Yao that General Dong Yue was killed for no reason, and I want him to go to Anyi to seek Niu Fu for an explanation. "

"My lord, as far as the general knows, that Duan Yan was by nature...cautious. Now that Guanzhong is chaotic, the court's attitude is unclear, and General Niu is the son-in-law of the grand master. He is well-known in the Xiliang army. With General Duan's character, I'm afraid it's not true. I will agree..." Jiang Xu suddenly understood at this point, and suddenly said: "The general will take this opportunity to ask General Duan for some food and grass?"

Lv Bu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Duan Wei is suspicious by nature, but this time we are asking for justice, and it will be hard for him to refuse completely. Hongnong is rich, and he will definitely give him some food and grass if he asks for it. Remember, Don't worry about this batch of grain and grass, I will bring the grain and grass to Tongguan to join me on the third day, this army is mine!"

From the very beginning, it was the idea of ​​this team that Lu Bu had planned. Fan Chou and Li Meng now regard this team as a hot potato, but for Lu Bu, this team is his complete pocket of the 100,000 Xiliang army. The first step is also the most crucial step. Since Fan Chou and Li Meng are unwilling to take it, it will be no problem for Lu Bu to use food and grass to win people's hearts and completely bring this team under his command.

"Here!" Jiang Xu understood, bowed to Lu Bu, turned around and left.

Fan Chou and Li Meng assembled troops and took all the remaining food and grass with them. Then, under the leadership of Lu Bu, they left Mianchi and entered Hongnong all the way to Huayin. According to Lu Bu's calculation, Mianchi is more than 230 miles away from Tongguan. Regardless of logistics, if you march quickly, you can reach Tongguan in three days. At that time, when the food and grass are exhausted and the morale of the army changes, Jiang Xu will arrive with food and grass, just to relieve the danger of mutiny. Lu Bu can also take this opportunity to gather the morale of the army!

On the other side, after Jiang Xu received Lu Bu's order, he rushed to Huayin day and night, and arrived at Huayin at noon the next day.

"Lv Bu?" Duan Ying was discussing the current situation with Zhang Ji, and when she learned that Lv Bu sent someone to send a greeting card, she was a little shocked: "I have no friendship with Lu Bu, why did you come to me?"

"Maybe I want to discuss the current situation with the general." Zhang Ji sighed: "The grand master was murdered, and General Niu killed General Dong Yue for some reason. Now the situation in the pass is in chaos. General Lu was just recalled from Xiliang, and now he probably doesn't know. What should I do?"

Duan Yan was right after thinking about it, nodded and said: "Let's invite the messenger in."

"Here!" The little principal who came to Tongchuan bowed, turned around and went out to bring Jiang Xu back.

"The last general, Jiang Xu, met the two generals!" Jiang Xu bowed and saluted after seeing the two.

"You don't need to be too polite." Duan Yan waved his hand, looked at Jiang Xu and said with a smile: "Judging from the general's accent, it seems that he is not from Bingzhou, but from Xiliang."

"The last general is from Tianshui, and he has won the Lord's will, so he will take it under the account." Jiang Xu smiled.

"General Lu is a great general in the world. I don't think his subordinates are full of heroes." Duan Yan praised with a smile. Jiang Xu didn't talk about his skills, but his appearance was tall and handsome, and he was a good-looking talent. In today's era, if he wants to become an official , birth, and appearance are indispensable. With Jiang Xu's appearance, he can be an official at first glance.

"Don't dare." Jiang Xu said humbly.

"But I don't know why General Lu ordered you to come here?" After chatting with Jiang Xu about the customs of Xiliang, Duan Yan looked at Jiang Xu and asked with a smile.

"Back to the general, my lord came back this time, and was shocked by the bad news of the grand master, so he wanted to respect General Dong Yue and join forces with General Duan and General Niu to avenge the grand master. He didn't want to rush to Mianchi to know that General Dong Yue had been killed by General Niu Harmful, I don’t know why!” Jiang Xu said with a bow.

"I don't know." Duan Yan sighed when he heard the words, the ghost knew what Niu Fu was up to, and killed Dong Yue in a good manner. Originally, he also had the idea of ​​​​discussing with Niu Fu and Dong Yue, but Niu Fu directly If Dong Yue was slaughtered, then there was no need to discuss it. After Duan Yan learned about this, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​negotiating with Niu Fu.

Jiang Xu clasped his fists and said: "General, the situation in Guanzhong is unclear now, and the court order has been changed overnight. My lord is eager to avenge the grand master, but the Xiliang army is plotting against each other, and they can't work together. It hurts my heart, so I sent the last general to come to invite you." , my lord has already invited two generals, Li Meng and Fan Chou, to lead the army to Anyi to ask General Niu for an explanation. The general is a veteran of Xiliang and has a high reputation in the army. In addition to explaining this matter, we also discuss how to deal with the imperial court's next measures!"

"This..." Duan Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji frowned and said, "May I ask what General Lu means? But to avenge General Dong?"

"My lord has friendship with General Dong and General Niu. Now that General Dong Yue is dead, although my lord feels pain in his heart, he doesn't want to harm General Niu. He just hopes that this matter can be explained. In addition, he also hopes to have a good relationship with the two generals." Discuss about revenge for the Grand Master!" Dong Yue bowed to Zhang Ji.

Duan Yan was a little hesitant when he heard this, Zhang Ji smiled at Jiang Xu and said, "The little general has been running all the way and went to the side tent to rest. This matter is of great importance, and we need to discuss it with the generals."

"Here!" Jiang Xu nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, bowed to Duan Yan and said, "My lord has already led the army and is going to join forces with the general from Huayin and cross the river to Anyi together."

"Presumptuous, are you threatening me to wait?" Zhang Ji slapped the table on hearing this, and glared at Jiang Xudao.

"The last general has no such intention!" Jiang Xu quickly shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of great importance. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I ask the general to make a decision early so that the last general can go back and return to his command. If the general is unwilling, my lord So we are going to cross the river at Tongguan to avoid conflict between the two families."

When Jiang Xu said this, Duan Yan and Zhang Ji's expressions softened a bit.

Duan Yan nodded and said: "Little General, let's go to rest, this is a big matter, I will reply to you after I discuss with the generals!"

"The last general will leave!" Jiang Xu nodded, and after bowing to the two, he slowly exited the military tent, followed by the guards who were waiting outside the tent to rest and eat some food.

As soon as Jiang Xu left, Duan Yao frowns suddenly. He doesn't want to send troops, even if Lu Bu said he went to ask for an explanation, but if he went too, what would Niu Fu think? Do you think that you are uniting with outsiders to force him to submit?

It is one thing to hate Niu Fu, and more importantly, it is said to be a peace negotiation, but who knows if there will be a fight, and if there is a fight, who will I help? In addition, he didn't know the relationship between Lv Bu and Dong Yue, but the relationship between Lv Bu and Niu Fu was actually very good. Could it be that the two of them joined forces to set up a situation for themselves, intending to seize their military power?

If so, then you have to be careful.

"The general doesn't want to join forces with Lu Bu?" Zhang Ji has been transferred to Duan Yan's command for a while, and he still has a clear understanding of Duan Yan's character.

"Dong Yue is dead, why bother to pursue this matter again?" Duan Yan nodded and said: "Besides, the imperial court's order is not clear and Guanzhong is in turmoil. At this time, if we have internal strife again, wouldn't it be quick for relatives to hate enemies?"

Although Zhang Ji felt that this idea was a little too timid, it was not unreasonable. He looked at Duan Yan and said, "If that's the case, the general will simply refuse."

Hearing this, Duan Yan sighed and said: "The official Lu Bu is still above me, and now he is under the banner of avenging the grand master. I should help him out of emotion and reason. It's not too good for me to refuse outright despite the courtesy."

Even if he hadn't seen Lu Bu's ability with his own eyes, he had definitely heard about it. I heard that the man had a hot temper, and if he turned his back on him, he might not be able to bear it.

To put it bluntly, he didn't want to take risks or offend Lu Bu. He just wanted to stay quietly in Huayin, sit and watch the situation change, and then choose what to do next when the situation became clear.

Zhang Ji nodded with some headaches. He had met Lu Bu a few times, not to mention his attitude, but the face that never seemed to smile was very oppressive and daunting.

I don’t have any close friends, so I don’t know the personality of the other party, but I heard that Hu Zhen cheated on him at the beginning, and after he surrendered to the Kwantung Army, Lu Bu had already broken out and escaped the Kwantung Army’s pursuit. Cutting off Hu Zhen is obviously not a very reasonable and good tempered person. Naturally, it is better not to offend such a person.

Zhang Ji suddenly said: "Since General Lu said that he would wait in Tongguan to avoid misunderstanding, does that mean that General Lu is ready to be rejected by the general?"

Duan Yan shook his head and said, "Although that's the case, it's too much to refuse directly..."

After Zhang Ji paced back and forth for a few steps, he turned to look at Duan Yan and said, "As far as the general knows, after the grand master was killed, the imperial court never sent military rations to Mianchi again."

Duan Yao nodded, Chang'an had to go through Hongnong if he wanted to send military rations to Mianchi, since Dong Zhuo's accident, Chang'an had never sent military rations to Hongnong again.

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "That's easy. Mianchi's army is probably very short of food. I'll discuss with Jiang Xu to see if we can get some food and grass. I promise General Lu in name, but Mianchi is no longer guarded. We are stationed here to prevent the Kwantung princes from taking advantage of the chaos to attack, so we continue to station here and only provide support with food and grass, what does the general think?"

Duan Yan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, Hongnong is a rich land, and the gentry in those places will send some food and grass to avoid the soldiers. At least they don't have to worry about the lack of food and grass.

"Okay, I will trouble Bomiao to discuss with that Jiang Xu. If he is willing, I am willing to support with food and grass. General Lu can also go and talk to Niu Fu in my name." Duan Yan laughed.

"The last general will go here!"
