Lu's relatives

Chapter 42 Yuan Shao returns to aid

Gao Shun led the trapped camp to evacuate more than [-] shi of food stored in Yecheng. Just as they were about to leave, the soldiers in Yecheng finally responded.

More than a thousand soldiers of Yuan Shao's army and family soldiers of the rich families in Yecheng were notified by the scattered servants, and they rushed straight to the south gate with torches.

Three to four thousand to seven hundred, just as Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun wanted to break up and let Qin Xu go first, there was a burst of shouts of killing and shrill sirens from the west gate of Ye City.

"What's going on?" Lu Lingqi, who was waiting in line, was a little at a loss, but Qin Xu had a look of joy on his face, and secretly said, the time is just right.

The family soldiers of the rich family and Sergeant Yuan Shao in the city were also confused by the thunderous shouts from the west gate at this time.

"Shoot into Ye City!"

"Shoot into Ye City!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The soldiers at the west gate had already been transferred a lot because of the accident at the south gate. Facing the attack of an unknown number of people in the night, the stern alarm became more and more urgent one after another.

"It seems that we can go back to Hanoi safely." Qin Xu and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled, looking at Lu Lingqi inexplicably.

"What should they do?" Lu Lingqi had a carefree temper, seeing that there was nothing to fight, she pulled up the reins and pointed at the two brothers Yuan Shang and Lu Shi who were on the horseback.

"These three people are also a burden, why not..." Qin Xu pointed to Ximen who was shouting for killing, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, pointed at the three people on horseback, and said with a smile: "Dead cat, I will leave it to you A daunting task!"

"..."

The family soldiers and Yuan Jun soldiers in Yecheng were finally attracted by Ximen's urgent siren.The enemies at the south gate have fled far away from the city. If the west gate is breached, the city of Ye will be destroyed soon.

"Ah! It's the Black Mountain Bandit! It's the Black Mountain Bandit!"

"The bandits from Heishan have attacked Ye City at night!"

There were bursts of panicked shouts, and the defense line laid by the Yecheng defenders on the city wall was like a broken dam. Before the reinforcements in the city arrived, they were overwhelmed by the black mountain bandits who attacked the top of the city.There were too many ants and the elephants were killed, and the ratio of tens of thousands of black mountain bandits to hundreds of Yuan's defenders staying at the west gate reached a terrifying one hundred to one!No matter how cowardly the black mountain bandits are, under the comparison of such proportional military strength, they seem to have been beaten with chicken blood, one by one scrambling to climb to the top of the city.

In less than a stick of incense, the city of Ye was destroyed!

However, the Black Mountain Bandit was not very powerful after all, Yuan Jun and the allied forces of the aristocratic family rushed to the west gate. Although the ratio of the Black Mountain Bandit was still ten to one, they were still on par with the Black Bandit for the time being.

Zhang Yan led Yang Feng Bairao and other Montenegrin generals. After breaking the city, he did not fight the defenders in the city. Instead, he led his elite soldiers straight to the granary in Yecheng.

Although the Montenegrin Army is said to have millions of people, the only land in the mountains is not enough to feed these many people.The most important purpose of looting Hebei Prefecture and counties in turn is to obtain the military rations on which to survive.

"Empty? How could it be empty?"

"Didn't the prefect Gongsun say that there are at least one hundred thousand shi of grain in Yecheng? What's going on?"

Looking at the empty granary, all the generals of the Montenegro army were furious.

"TNND! This old Yuan claims to dominate Hebei and dominate Jizhou, so why is there no surplus food in the city?" Yang Feng spat fiercely, and said bitterly.

Zhang Yan squinted her eyes, as if she sensed something was wrong. Before taking pictures of Lu Bu's prestige and the three thousand cavalry under his command, he agreed to Lu Bu's strange request. Zhang Yan had no choice but to stay where he was for three days under Lu Bu's surveillance. Yan Yan was trustworthy, and after three days, when the Black Mountain Army found out, Lu Bujun had completely disappeared.

"Marshal, although the granary is empty, Yecheng is the seat of Jizhou, and there are many wealthy families in the city, why not..." Bai Rao suggested with a stern smile to the generals in Montenegro.

"Not bad!"

"Xiaobai has a quick brain!"

The generals in Montenegro agreed very much with Bai Rao's proposal, and Zhang Yan put aside his suspicions for the time being.He shouted: "That's right! These aristocratic families must have countless gold, silver, jewelry, food, grass, and military equipment in their homes. It's not easy for us to come to Yecheng, and we can't come in vain. Tell the brothers, let's go and grab the big dogs!"

"Promise!" The generals of Montenegro restrained their own troops with joyful faces.

"Marshal, I found these three people at the gate of the city!" Zhang Yan finished ordering the generals, but saw that the confidant Xiaoxiao commanded several people to press down on a young man and two generals in armor, and reported to himself.

"Who are these three people?" Zhang Yan asked.

"I don't know, but when I met these three people, I don't know who knocked them out and threw them at the south gate!" the Xiaoxiao reported.

"Wake them up!" It took a long time for the Black Mountain generals to restrain their troops, and Zhang Yan felt that these three people might be the key to unraveling his hesitation and his true thinking that the granary was empty.

"Ah! You gangsters, let me go quickly, or else my father's army will turn you all into ashes!" Yuan Shang, who fainted twice in one night, was about to cry.

On the contrary, it was the Lu brothers who did not say a word after waking up, with an annoyed look on their faces, and looked at Yuan Shang who was also tied up like a rice dumpling with guilt.

"Your father?" Zhang Yan heard Yuan Shang say this, stared at Yuan Shang for a while, and said with a smile: "Is your father Yuan Shao?"

"Exactly!" Seeing Zhang Yan mentioning Yuan Shao's name, Yuan Shang raised his joystick and said proudly: "My father's army is nearby, you should be wise enough to release me quickly, and return the rations in full. Otherwise, my father will make you regret being born in this world!"

"Army rations?" Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes and immediately understood.Before the Black Mountain Army broke through Yecheng, other forces must have entered Yecheng first and emptied the granary.Zhang Yan didn't even need to think about it. After contacting Lu Bu's strange request, if he didn't understand how to use Lu Bu as a shield, then Zhang Yan would be a fool.

"Hmph!" Zhang Yan gave a wry smile helplessly. Even if he knew it was a trick of Lu Bu's army, so what? Lu Bu's three thousand soldiers were forced to keep them from moving for three days. Could they still go to Lu Bu to ask for rations?

Fortunately, Lu Bu's army didn't do too much, at least the big families in the city were kept by our Heishan army, but Zhang Yan, who couldn't help Lu Bu, could only chat like this.

"Marshal! How do you deal with these three people? Isn't it..." Xiaoxiao made a gesture of wiping his neck, and Yuan Shang was so frightened that he quickly shouted: "What are you going to do? Is this a feud with my father Yuan Gong?" ?”

I have to say that Yuan Shang was indeed quick-witted, and these words really moved Zhang Yan's heart.

Although it is an alliance with Gongsun Zan, the most unreliable thing in this world is the word alliance.If Yuan Shao was really defeated or even annexed by Gongsun Zan, then Gongsun Zan's next target must be his ally, the Black Mountain Army.At that time, let alone subsidizing ordnance, Gongsun Zan, who is very familiar with the Black Mountain Army, would have been a gentleman if he hadn't returned immediately after defeating Yuan Shao.

"Don't you just want food? Yecheng was emptied by you, but my father's army still has no less than [-] shi of rations. If you can spare my life, or form an alliance with my father, my father always likes to make friends with heroes He is much more generous than that old man Gongsun Zan!" Seeing that Zhang Yan was persuaded by him, Yuan Shang tried harder to convince Zhang Yan of his words, but put aside his previous suspicion that Qin Xu and the others were not from the Black Mountain Army. back of the head!
Now Yecheng is in chaos, cries and screams resound through the night sky, most of the soldiers of the aristocratic families in Yecheng were recruited by the prefect Su Cheng to defend the city, and they have almost been exhausted in the street battles with the Black Mountain Army. There are not many guards left at home, and how can they stand up to the torment of the black bandits.

Food, gold and silver, coins, female relatives, everything that the black mountain bandits took a fancy to was forcibly taken away, and the slightest resistance was a knife.These gentlemen who are pampered and pampered on weekdays have never seen such a battle, many of them were paralyzed by fright, and a few were directly frightened to death.

Perhaps it was because the Black Bandit understood the principle of the long flow of water, or Zhang Yan had specially ordered before that as long as they were not from a wealthy family, the Black Bandit would never commit any crimes, but this created a lot of trouble for Yuan Shao to encircle and suppress the Black Bandit in the future.

"Qin Xu, did you already know that the Black Mountain Army would come? Did you deliberately hide it from me?" The crowd drove to Hanoi in a mighty manner, and the shouts of killing had gradually ceased, and Lu Lingqi's frowning face became dull. asked Qin Xu.

"My eldest lady!" Qin Xu called out to Tianqu, and said, "Didn't you hear our conversation that night? Why do you still ask?"

"It's okay if I didn't listen?" The eldest lady's arrogance came up, causing Qin Xu to retreat repeatedly.

"Qin Xu, you have made Xu You miserable this time. If he finds out, he probably won't be able to avoid you!" Made a joke.

"Mr. Xu Da probably doesn't have the heart to think about this now. The city of Ye is broken, and he, Xu Ziyuan, is to blame! It's not like we didn't intercept the Black Mountain bandits, didn't we escape for three days? My lord, three thousand cavalry went to fight against the so-called one hundred thousand Black Mountain Bandits, it makes perfect sense!" Qin Xu twitched his lips and replied, "I'm just getting so much food and horses back, I'm afraid it will take a lot of talk for Zhang Taishou, and Yuan Shao may make trouble for him!"

"It doesn't matter, do you think that Zhang Taishou can rule Hanoi under Yuan Shao's nose, can he be an ordinary person?" Gao Shun blinked at Qin Xu, knowing each other's understanding.

"It's just a pity for the people of Yecheng, who were implicated in this disaster for no reason!" Lu Lingqi said suddenly, seeing the sky-high flames emanating from the direction of Yecheng.

"The Black Mountain Army can gain a foothold in Hebei, and it will never hurt innocent people. Ling'er doesn't have to worry." Gao Shun said lightly, "As for those aristocratic families, there are many people who do evil on weekdays. The Black Mountain Army can teach them a lesson. Secretly happy."

Gao Shun's level of comforting people was really not good, and after saying a few words, the three of them fell into silence.

"I just don't know that after Montenegro recedes, these aristocratic families will come up with ways to bully those innocent people seeing that the common people's homes have not been affected." Lu Lingqi let out a sigh that didn't match her age.

"Xing, the people are suffering! Death, the people are suffering!" Qin Xu suddenly said such a sentence, and was stared at by Lu Lingqi like a monster, a little embarrassed.

"No, this is not the bugle number of the Black Mountain bandit, but the charge number of Yuan Shaojun's first camp!" Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi stared at each other, but Gao Shun frowned, listening to the faint voice coming from the direction of Yecheng, said "We have to speed up our march. Otherwise, Yuan Jun will definitely scout around when he finds out that the racecourse outside the city has been robbed. We won't be able to hide it for long."

"It seems that Yuan Shao arrived in time!" Qin Xu said with a smile, avoiding Lu Lingqi's bright eyes.
