Jianghuxing

A few days later, Lu Bu and the others began to set out in their troops, and the cavalry of the brigade assembled in the military camp in the west of the city, and out of nowhere, so many people on horseback appeared overnight, almost three or four thousand people. I heard Zhang Liao say that we didn't have so many cavalry in Bingzhou, but in order to fight Xianbei, we had to borrow some soldiers and horses from near Youzhou and Jizhou. Of course, this is not to lend us Ding Yuan's face, Ding Yuan's old thief completely disagrees with Lu Bu's use of troops against the border fortress, on the grounds that the yellow turbans in the territory are not stable, so don't provoke those Hu people again. Hearing that Lu Bu had been arguing with him for a long time, Ding Jianyang had no way to agree with Lu Bu's opinion, but the premise was that he didn't care about anything, and all the soldiers, horses, grain, grass, weapons and materials were dispatched by Lu Bu himself.

Lu Bu naturally doesn't eat dry food, since Ding Yuan agrees to give power, he is happy to take it, and all these years of hard work in Bingzhou are not in vain. After everything was arranged in an orderly manner, the only thing that made him a little more upset was the matter of supervising the grain, fortunately I came back at this juncture, Lu Buli handed over this job to me by public opinion, and with a wave of his hand, he gave me five hundred big sword soldiers, and the personnel chose who was who. Zhang Liao privately grabbed me and said: "Feng Xian, this is paving the way for you, you have selected these 500 people well and used them accurately, and you will be your private soldiers in the future, so you have to have a long snack!"

At that time, I didn't understand the concept of having my own army of 500 people all at once, so I couldn't understand Lu Bu's good intentions, but because I was extremely nervous about sending troops to fight for the first time, I was curious about everything, and I was worried and uneasy about the heavy responsibility on my shoulders, so I didn't think about Lu Bu's arrangements at all.

The ox carts and wagons of the grain overseer team added up to almost 100, and they were full of grain and grass, and they were covered with thick fireproof cloth and braked again and again with ropes, for fear that they would fall apart. Lu Bu and the others traveled quickly, and they only brought some light food and left, and Hao Meng gave me a hand as a deputy general to help me operate the food supervision matter. Before leaving, Hao Meng picked up a thin man from outside the city and came back to introduce me: "This is the gentleman who was specially invited from Liangzhou by Lord Bookkeeper to help transport grain and grass. "

When I heard it, I was a little puzzled, didn't the matter of supervising the grain be handed over to me and Hao Meng, why did you bother to invite someone from Liangzhou to come over to help?

The man looked obscene with two wisps of rat whiskers, but his attitude was very polite, and he said to the end: "The villain Hu Che'er, I have seen the adult." "I don't know the details of him, I thought that since he was the person invited by Lu Bu, he had to worship honestly, and he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Lu Bu's face still had to be given, so he was also very respectful to Hu Che'er, and said: "Mr. came from afar to help, I am grateful, grateful!" Hu Che'er hurriedly said: "The word 'sir' is absolutely unacceptable." We exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then we got to the point.

It turned out that this Hu Che'er was originally a Qiang person, and there were frequent wars in the border area, so he began to do a grain transportation business in order to support his family. At first, Hu Che'er also followed the brigade to charge grain, but after working for a long time, he naturally mastered some experience, and now the beacon fire is everywhere, Hu Che'er has become a talent that the soldiers are vying to invite first, after all, it is necessary to transport the grain and grass quickly and well to determine the outcome of a war.

Hu Che'er first asked Lu Bu how many soldiers and horses he had brought, then asked where he was going to fight with whom, and finally asked us about the amount of grain and grass and the number of horses and chariots. After understanding the situation, Hu Che'er said to me: "Shun Ye, according to the villain, we are not in a hurry on the road, we just need to deliver the things safely." "I was very unhappy when I heard it, and I thought to myself how to spend a lot of money to invite such an irresponsible guy to come, plus this is the first time I have traveled with Lu Bu, and I am holding such an important position, in case of a mistake, I can't afford it. So he said abruptly: "Why aren't you in a hurry? Delay the military situation, our heads are not enough!" Hu

Che'er saw my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Master Shun, don't worry, listen to the villain calculate an account for you from the beginning." "Hao Meng and I looked at each other, not knowing what he was selling. I heard Hu Che'er say: "Although the villain is a Hu person, he doesn't know poetry and books, and he can't even read a few big characters, but he has been doing business for a long time, so he naturally found some ways." You see, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said, 'Whoever uses the art of war, gallops the cart and rides, carries 100,000 pieces of armor, and feeds the grain in the dry.'" Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers. This means that this march and war cost a very very high price, and everywhere you can see is gold and silver, from grain and grass weapons to glue paint and oil, which is not piled up with money! Therefore, the matter of fighting a war is not only a battle of military strength, but also a mutual consumption of the financial resources of both sides.

Hao Meng and I were confused, so we asked, "That's what it means, but what does it have to do with us? We are only responsible for escorting the grain and grass and delivering it in time!"

Hu Che'er knew that the two of us were not convinced, so he patiently explained: "Just now I inquired carefully about the armament situation, Lu Ye ordered a total of less than 4,000 cavalry, and the light car Jian Cong went to Yunzhong County, leaving 500 sword soldiers and 500 village husbands to transport grain, and about 100 cattle and horses - where can I use so much grain and grass, there are only 4,000 men and horses in total, and the foot is fast, and this road is enough for them to deal with while fighting and grabbing." And we go slowly, along the way people have to eat horses and eat, if we carry ten stone of grain over, we alone will have to eat more than half, and when we get there, we will leave a little for the front army, and we will not be able to survive more than two or three stones.

I listened incredulously and asked, "Are we going to eat seven or eight stones of grain along the way?" Hu Che'er glared at him and asked, "What about the way back? This grain team has to be delivered one after another, how can it be done once in one run." I asked, "Then what do you mean by saying that Lu Bu's grain and grass are enough?" Hu Che'er looked at Hao Meng, looked around again, lowered his voice and said: "We are probably going to show it to outsiders, so that those spies think that our grain and grass have not moved, in fact, the team has already arrived in the city, and I want to catch them off guard!"

When others hear that there is a war, they can't wait to hide far away, but it's good for you to push yourself up!" Although

I don't know how credible what Hu Che'er said, once I think that the burden of victory and defeat in the battle is not on my shoulders, it is much easier. On the same day, Hu Che'er and Hao Meng finished rectifying the grain team, and we set off from the west of the city, and I personally ordered Ren Qiang, Li Zhong, Chen Hao, Wu Long, Wang Shihao, Wu Yanji, and Fan Jianghui to escort me to the car. We went north along the Fenshui all the way, from the sheep intestine warehouse through the Shenchi Mountain, all of which were familiar routes taken during the previous campaign, and planned to go out of the side pass and then go to Jiling, and finally enter the clouds from Shaling to meet Lu Bu and them.

How do you know that as soon as you enter the Shenchi Mountain Realm, the familiar atmosphere of wind and noise will come out. I saw that many people who were idle on the side of the road along the way looked at us with bad intentions, and from time to time some people left quickly, as if to ventilate and report the news. Since I had a fight with Cheng Boss in Shenchi Mountain the year before last, I thought that the wind and rain had been smooth here, but I didn't know that there were still so many bandits rampant today. I couldn't help but think of the dispute with Huang Haitang last year about Lu Bu's appeasement of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart, but then I thought that I had been out practicing for more than a year, and I was not only afraid of this meeting, but also faintly excited, and I couldn't help but be a little nervous.

When Hu Che'er saw me like this, he knew that my hands were itchy, so he persuaded me: "Master Shun, we came out to escort grain and grass, not to crusade against the bandits." Usually these kings entrenched in the mountains will not really be embarrassed by the army, both sides will sell face, and the symbolic benefits will pass.

I listened very badly, and said dissatisfiedly to Hu Che'er: "Oh, this one stops me and I will give one stone of grain, and that one stops me and I will give one stone of grain, then dare to love that the grain team has not yet arrived in Yunzhong County to distribute it, do we want this head anymore?" Hu Che'er

is shrewd, and when he saw my resolute attitude, he stopped persuading, and it seemed that he was just doing his duty to mention something. In fact, what he said was not unreasonable, if I made enemies everywhere on the way, it would really cause trouble, but the first time I took my brothers out to fight, I saw a group of bandits, and told me how to stand up in front of the battle in the future.

In a short time, three or four hundred people turned out from the foot of the mountain, lined up in baskets in front of the road. I glanced back and saw that the farmers were all quite panicked, but the soldiers in charge of the escort were all expressionless, as if they were not interested in such things. It's just that I didn't figure out whether they were Xi used to giving gifts when they encountered an obstacle, or whether they were used to doing it when they encountered this ob Xi stacle, or they were used to doing it when they encountered this obstacle, don't let me misunderstand the intentions of my subordinates, I was stupid, and as a result, my hands were full of a bunch of greedy people who were afraid of death, and in the end, I became the one who charged into the battle and surrendered, wouldn't it be stupid.

I turned around and saw Wang Shihao's huge head in the team, thinking that we had all been officials together under Mr. Tao before, at that time we were not proficient in martial arts, and we didn't have a deep understanding of each other, but just by appearance, Wang Shihao was the first master to throw a knife and surrender.

I called Wang Shihao over, and now the difference between the top and bottom is very different from the days when I was a rogue in the mountains, but his eyes are still the same as before, shining and shiny, revealing a silly spirit. I asked him, "There was a roadblock robbery in front of us, what do you think we should do?" Wang Shihao didn't think about it, and shouted in a loud voice: "What the fuck! What are you waiting for?"

Wang Shihao shouted, and the other five hundred big swordsmen all shouted and screamed, I stretched my neck and looked, what Wu Yanji and Fan Jianghui also shouted and shouted and killed with their throats. I still have a hanging heart, I still don't know if they are fake or really want to go up and fight with this group of bandits, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked Wang Shihao: "Before I came back, who were you all under the errand?" Wang Shihao didn't expect me to ask this suddenly, and without thinking about it, he replied without a head: "Brother Yuan'er!" I didn't react for a while to what this 'Brother Yuan'er was', Wang Shihao said again:" Brother Yuan'er is much more courageous than you, as usual, we have finished our work here, and you are still grinding like a girl and have no opinion!".
