Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 22 Rebellion
Before Lu Bu attacked Xiaopei, he promised to use Liu Bei's money, silk, food and grass to work in the army, so the soldiers all took the lead.

After Xiaopei was broken, there was not much grain in the treasury, let alone any money.

During this period of time, Liu Bei recruited a lot of soldiers and horses. How could there be much money left for Lu Bu?

Lu Bu had made a promise to the soldiers before the battle, if he did not fulfill his promise, his prestige in the army would be reduced.

Lu Bu didn't like Cao Cao's massacre of the city like that, but at this time there was no way to send troops to loot some property.

He told Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao: "You should restrain your subordinates, just borrow some food, rice and property from the people, don't easily hurt their lives, go to the village outside the city as much as possible."

"Wei." Zhang Liao (Cheng Lian) said in unison.

Chen Gui used to be Prime Minister of Xiao Pei, and there are quite a few properties of the Chen family here, and Lu Bu still has to make friends with the Chen family at this time, so he can't go too far.

Tens of thousands of people looted the surrounding villages. Most of the ordinary people watched their property being robbed in order to survive, and a few people also lost their lives because of protecting food.

After half a day of looting, Lu Bu left five thousand soldiers and ordered Zhang Liao to guard Xiaopei, and led the army back to Xiapi.

Because there were Mi family members in Liu Bei's family, it was not harmful for Lu Bu to throw a rat-fighting weapon, so Zhang Liao took good care of him in Xiaopei.

Gan Qian avoided disaster in Ganjiazhuang, and just escaped the catastrophe.

After hiding in the shelter for a day, Lan Tian brought Gan Qian's father and daughter up. At this time, the Gan family village felt solemn and desolate, and many crops in the fields were trampled by people and horses.

Zhang Liao sent the original officials to various places to comfort the people, and hundreds of people from Ganjiazhuang spontaneously gathered at Ganji's house. Only then did they know the magical effect of the cellar dug in Lantian.

Although there were not many casualties this time, most of the farmer's property was robbed, and most of the food stored in the past two years was also removed, so everyone was crying with grief.

"No matter how difficult life is, as long as people are still alive, they must work hard to survive. Let's go to the fields as soon as possible to take care of the crops, otherwise we will be hungry in winter." Lan Tian encouraged everyone.

"Young owner, can we all refer to the construction of your shelter?" Li Yang, the owner of the village, asked.

"It can be built, but it is not easy to find a big one, and the site selection must be relatively particular." Lan Tian said.

Li Yang cupped his hands and said, "Then please give me some advice, Young Master."

"Please give me some advice, Young Master." Everyone said in unison.

"Good guys, take care of the crops first, and let's do the rest slowly. There should be no military disaster in a short time." Lan Tian encouraged everyone.

Lan Tian's words sounded like a fairy, and the dealers were saddened after listening to them, and then returned home one after another.

"I don't know what happened to Xuande," Gan Qian said worriedly after Zhuang Ke left.

Seeing that Gan Qian was in a low mood, Lan Tian comforted him, "Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave enough to be undeserved. With them by their side, General Liu will be fine. I'm sure he will return to Xiaopei again."

"Really?" Gan Qian was instantly delighted.

"When have I ever lied to you? Sister, just keep your heart in your stomach." Lan Tian laughed.

If Liu Bei loses at this time, he must vote for Cao Cao. If he hadn't listened to Cao thief's words to attack Yuan Shu, Xuzhou would not have been easily acquired by Lu Bu, let alone today's defeat. Boss Cao would definitely wipe his ass.

Now Gongsun Zan in the north retreated to defend Yi County after the Battle of Baoqiu. Yuan Shao had basically unified the north of the Yellow River. In addition, his eldest son Yuan Tan broke through Qingzhou occupied by Tian Kai. Yuan Shao's actual control power has reached the south of the Yellow River.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still allies at present, this fragile relationship cannot be maintained forever. With such a severe situation in the north, Cao Cao naturally does not want Lu Bu in the east to become a threat. Tigers gobble up Lu Bu.

After all, Liu Bei is more worthy of Cao Cao's trust than Lu Bu.

On the other hand, when Ji Ling returned to his teacher Shouchun from a young age, Yuan Shu was furious after reading Lu Bu's lecture and letter.

The last time Han Yin sent a lot of food and grass to Xuzhou, but Lu Bu secretly forced Ji Ling to retreat. Although the three books and six appointments were still being prepared according to the procedures, Yuan Shu already hated Lu Bu at this time.

At this time, the counselors under the tent offered advice, saying that Hao Meng, a Hanoi native, was old enough to make him rebel against Lu Bu with great profits, and then capture Xuzhou and dedicate it to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard that, he had long intended to seize Xuzhou, so he ordered him to secretly go to Xiapi.

Lu Bu was full of ambitions when he came back from Pei Desheng, and he had a banquet with the generals for many days until late at night.

One night, at midnight.

Lu Bu was sleeping soundly on the couch, suddenly there was a commotion in the mansion, and the breath of gold and iron wafted in the wind.

The female guard in charge of guarding the backyard came to Lu Lingqi's door to report urgently, saying that there was an assassin invasion. Lu Lingqi quickly put on her military uniform and went out. After questioning, she learned that Hao Meng, her father's general, had rebelled and had already entered the government office. More than half of the female guards she commanded were killed or injured.

The situation was extremely critical, so Lu Lingqi kicked open the door of Lu Bu's room.

"Huanyan thief, Angan." Lu Bu was fighting Zhang Fei in his dream, but was awakened by Lu Lingqi's kicking on the door.

"Father, Hao Meng is rebellious, please go with mother." Lu Lingqi pointed to the door and shouted.

"Hao Meng? Not Zhang." Lu Bu took a closer look, isn't this his own room?The person next to the pillow is getting dressed in a panic.

"Don't wear the armor, it's too late." Lu Lingqi saw that Yan Shi didn't put it on herself, so she helped Lu Bu put it on.

At this time, she didn't care about the lack of clothes, she took Yan Shi's hand and went out. Lu Bu followed behind the mother and daughter in a mess, and the alcohol all over her body had already turned into cold sweat on her back.

"Miss, the front hall is sunken, you can leave quickly through the back door." The female guard urged.

Lv Lingqi took her parents and fled according to the guidance. When she came out from the back door, she heard the noise in the city. Where are you going?"

"You can go to Gaoshun to trap the camp." Lu Bu said affirmatively.

Lu Lingqi nodded, and said in her heart that it coincided with my thoughts, and my father must have sobered up.

Because Hao Meng's troops were limited, he failed to control the four gates of Xiapi in a short time, which allowed Lu Lingqi and the others to escape in the city for an hour.

When the three of them came to the camp, Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu was in a mess, and knew that something serious happened in the city.

"Hao Meng dares to betray me, Hao Meng dares to betray me"

While Lu Bu was chattering, Gao Shun invited Lu Bu to take a seat in the main tent, then cupped his fists and said, "My lord, you rest here first, I will take all my troops into the city immediately to suppress the rebellion."

"Okay, Wen Yuan is currently in Xiaopei, Xiapi can only rely on you." Lu Bu said out of breath.

"Don't worry, my lord."

Gao Shun's camp has strict military discipline and is the most elite infantry under Lu Bu's camp. Before sending troops to suppress the rebellion, he asked his deputy general Xu Shuang to protect Lu Bu's safety.

Most of Gao Shun's generals knew Lu Lingqi well. While they were waiting for Gao Shun's news, Xu Shuang whispered to Lu Lingqi: "I heard that my lord attacked Xiaopei a few days ago and allowed the soldiers to plunder the village after the war. Ganjiazhuang should be there too." in."

"What? How's Lan Ziyu?" Lu Lingqi asked anxiously.

Xu Shuang shook his head and said, "I've also heard rumors from other battalions in the past two days. General Gao may know the specific situation better."

Lu Lingqi stomped her feet angrily, "Hmph, Gao Shun is starting to lie to me now."
