Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 23 God of War
At this time, outside the city of Luoyang, in the depths of a military camp, a few torches were lit in a large tent, crackling.

A large fire was raised in the big tent, and a big man was sitting beside the small fire, roasting a few yam on the fire with a twig fork.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and two people walked in.

The big man who was roasting the yam looked up and waved with a smile: "Come on, Boping and Wenyuan, it's just right, the yam is almost ready."

Zhang Liao also laughed, "It's better for Master Lu to stay here, not only for warmth but also for food."

Gao Shun solemnly crossed his hands in a salute: "I have seen Master Lu."

Lu Bu grabbed two Hu stools from behind him, put them beside him, and beckoned Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to sit down, "No need to be polite, sit down, hey, I still think this Hu stool is good, come to Luoyang and kneel all day. Sitting and kneeling hurts my knees, I really don’t know how these people can get used to it?”

Zhang Liao laughed, took the roasted yam from Lu Bu's hand, and swirled on the flames without answering.

On the other hand, Gao Shun nodded and said, "Kneeling is the etiquette, Master Lu should get used to it sooner."

Lu Bu snorted, shook his head and said, "I'm just a rude person, what am I used to doing? By the way, Wen Yuan, you two patrolled the camp just now, how are the children in the camp now?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, took back the yam in his hand and put it under his nose to smell it. It seemed that it was not fully cooked, so he put it back on the fire and said, "It's not very good. I have asked people to prepare more firewood to keep out the cold, the key is that there is not enough food and grass..."

"Wen Yuan and I made an estimate, at least [-] days, at most [-] days. If there is no new replenishment, we will run out of food." Gao Shun took Zhang Liao's words, looked at Lu Bu with hope and said, "Master, Is there any food and grass on the governor's side?"

Lu Bu shook his head silently.

Zhang Liao lowered his head and let out a sigh.

Gao Shun was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I met a few fellow villagers who went south two days ago outside the camp. I went to ask about the situation in my hometown, and I was scolded by them."

Both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were a little strange, and quickly asked why Gao Shun was being scolded.

Gao Shun picked up a branch and threw it into the fire, set the flame higher, and said in a deep voice, "We withdrew, but Xianbei went south earlier this year..."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows: "Hu Nu is so brave! Wait until I go back and kill it-"

Zhang Liao was a little happy when he heard the words, and asked, "So we are going back? When will we leave?"

"Uh—" Lu Bu was like a punctured balloon, his aura suddenly let out, "No, I haven't received an order yet..."

Gao Shun said: "To say something that shouldn't be said, some disciples in the camp still don't know why we are evacuating from Bingzhou, and some are asking me, we have withdrawn, and who is guarding our borders for us, I don't know what to do. how to answer."

"Yeah," Zhang Liao also said, "Originally, we came to eliminate the eunuchs who messed up the government. Now the eunuchs have been executed, but we are still waiting for it..."

Zhang Liao didn't continue talking, because it was hard to say why he didn't leave. After all, it was inconvenient for a junior officer like Zhang Liao to talk about the boss's boss.

Lu Bu scratched his head, "I just asked Inspector Ding the other day, and Inspector Ding told me to wait for Shao'an, saying that even if I want to go back, I have to raise some food and grass before going back."

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu and said nothing. He continued to roast the potatoes and sighed inwardly. Sometimes, the master Lu of his own has a weak head and can't turn around. This Ding Yuan is obviously an excuse, you Master Lu was stunned that he didn't hear it—the local army itself would not conform to the military system if it appeared in the central government. Even if there were thousands of reasons, there was no reason to be stationed in the central government for a long time.Now, as long as Ding Yuan says he wants to go back, it is estimated that even if the imperial court smashes the pot and sells iron, it will gather the food and grass for Ding Yuan's return journey.

Now it's not that there is no food, it's that Ding Yuan, Ding Shishi, hasn't gotten enough benefits—

Just as Gao Shun wanted to open his mouth to speak, Zhang Liao secretly stepped on his foot. He immediately reacted and kept his mouth shut.

Lu Bu frowned and didn't notice Zhang Liao's small movements. He just felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"It should be roasted!" Zhang Liao divided the roasted yam one by one, whirring, carefully peeling off the charred skin, and the aroma of the yam came out immediately.

Lu Bu blew ashes on the potato, flipped it a few times, tore off the skin, took a bite, sighed in his mouth, and said in a murky voice, "Oh...it's still Wenyuan...hi...the craftsmanship is good... …fragrant……"

In fact, at this moment, Lu Bu was only a pure warrior. Although his official position was in the master's book, the clerical matters were still handed over to the civil servants in the army.

When Ding Yuan arrived in Bingzhou, he discovered him and asked him to lead troops to fight the Hu people in Xianbei. He was very happy and attentive, because after all, Bingzhou was his hometown, and he was protecting the country with his outstanding martial arts. In the process of protecting the local people, I have gained inner glory and joy.

But this time Ding Yuan was about to withdraw his troops. Although Lü Bu was puzzled, he still obeyed. At this moment, Lü Bu still believed that Ding Yuan was a good man. Since he was a good man, he would not harm himself. He did not understand the affairs of the court. , he doesn't want to understand, those are too twisty, it's better to cut down with a knife...

Why don't you wait a few more days?

Lu Bu thought while eating, wait another eight days, no, wait another five days, then go to Ding Shishi and ask about it... Recently, there is a shortage of food and grass, and my horse seems to have lost some weight, so it goes on like this not good...

**************
Ding Yuan was also waiting in the tent, waiting for Dong Zhuo's reply.

A few days ago, it was as late as Dong Zhuo's, and the great merit of welcoming him back to the court actually fell on that Xiliang ordinary husband, which really made him feel annoyed even thinking about it.

Ding Yuan was born in a poor family and didn't read much, but he was always diligent and eager to learn, and he was able to achieve today's position as the prefect of Bingzhou. There is really no one who can lend his strength. He worked hard little by little. of.

After so many years from a young blood to now a whole body of pain, who can describe his suffering and who can understand?For so many years of guarding the frontier, the Hu people have won countless credits, but he has never been able to enter the circle of the central officials of the imperial court. Seeing that his age is getting older and his body is getting worse day by day, even if it is not for himself, he has to do it for himself. family, think about your children and grandchildren, right?
Can't let your children and grandchildren suffer the same hardship as yourself?
This time, after receiving the edict from General He Jin, Ding Yuan immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity, so he resolutely led the army of Bingzhou to the south of Qin Wang, but unfortunately fate was so joking, Luoyang arrived first, but the general He Jin's ears were softened by her sister's remarks, and he hesitated. In the end, he only stationed Mengjin, but in the end, Dong Zhuo snatched it first.

Although he has won an honorary title of Jinwu, but there is a fart?Can it be bigger than what Dong Zhuo is getting now?Thinking about this, the anger rises up.

According to reason, the letter to Dong Zhuo should have been delivered, right?Why doesn't this Xiliang Takefu still reply?Could it be that this Western Liangwufu dared to look down on the old man?This old man's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry is not a vegetarian!
　Ask for recommendations and collections, newcomers are also short of food and grass...
