The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 278
In the morning of the next day, Gai Xun called the generals to the county guard's mansion to discuss matters.

The main issue discussed and discussed is how to quickly find the rebels and cut off their main force.

Since the Han army entered Hanyang, the Qiang rebels here have disappeared.Gai Xun sent people out every day to investigate the movement of the rebels, but these tens of thousands of horses seemed to disappear out of thin air, like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no news of it.

"The Qiang people seem to be preparing to fight a long battle." After explaining the current situation, Gai Xun came to a conclusion.

The generals sitting below didn't have much complaints. They had experienced wars, and even if they fought for three to five years, it was already commonplace.

Gai Xun was very satisfied that his general did not complain. He glanced down and fixed his eyes on Lu Bu.This young and promising young man seems to dislike taking the initiative to speak out and offer advice, attracting people's attention.

"General Lu, what's your opinion?" Gai Xun asked, wanting to hear Lu Bu's thoughts.

Lu Bu was thinking about the Jiang family's affairs. He heard Gai Xun's question and saw the eyes of the generals in the hall. He sorted out his thoughts a little, and then answered: "I think that besides finding a decisive battle with the rebels, the most important thing is to fight against the rebels." The most important thing is to repair the city wall and strengthen the defense. Otherwise, even if we put down the rebellion temporarily, the Qiang people will rebel again in the future, and they will break into Guanzhong like a broken bamboo."

Walking all the way from Chencang, Lu Bu understood why the rebels in Liangzhou were so rampant, and the walls of the majestic county were so dilapidated, let alone the other counties under its jurisdiction.

As the most important and minimum fortification, the city is not done well, how can it be expected to resist the rebels in the city.No wonder the Qiang rebels would easily plunder everywhere without fear.

This was purely done by the local officials themselves.

Gai Xun shook his head helplessly when he heard Lu Bu mention repairing the city wall. He had thought about this a long time ago.However, repairing the city requires a large sum of money to support it. Now the people in the city can't even afford to eat, and the treasury in the city is already empty.

In such a predicament, what should I use to fix it?
"Didn't the imperial court allocate a lot of money every year for repairs and tidying up?" Lu Bu was puzzled by this. Wuyuan County received a lot of repair expenses last year, and I believe Liangzhou should be no exception. .

Corruption may be possible in other places, but Hanyang is where Gai Xun personally sits as the county governor. With Gai Xun's character, it is absolutely impossible to do such a despicable thing.

However, Lu Bu didn't know that Gai Xun had only been in Hanyang not long ago.At first, he was sent here as an official because of his bitter advice.The former governor even dared to be greedy for the cost of recruiting soldiers. Liangzhou is so high that the emperor is far away. There is nothing he can't do.

So Liangzhou was poorer and poorer, and the people at the bottom were in dire straits. Not only did the officials above not help, but they oppressed them even more, which led to this huge rebellion dominated by the Qiang people.

After all, His Majesty the Son of Heaven, who lives in Luoyang, is selling officials and nobles. How can officials in these places climb up if they don't collect some money.

Having figured this out, Lu Bu didn't say anything more.

Just as Gai Xun was about to adjourn the meeting and let the generals go down to perform their duties, a blood-stained soldier rushed into the hall and shouted a long and loud announcement from a long distance away.The blood dripping from the armor formed a long red line on the ground.

When Gai Xun saw the distressed appearance of the soldiers, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't need to guess to know that something must be wrong.

The soldier knelt on one knee in the hall, cupped his fists and bowed to Gai Xun. The blood from the fierce battle was still wet on his body, and his hoarse voice was full of sorrow: "Junshou, when our army transported grain and grass to Panzhong Mountain, we encountered The rebel army ambushed and suffered heavy damage, please send troops to rescue quickly, general!"

Hearing this news, all the generals couldn't sit still, their faces were filled with great shock.If the rebels really cut off the food and grass, what will they eat in the next few months?
"Has the grain and grass been robbed?" Gai Xun asked eagerly as he got up from his seat. This is the question he is most concerned about right now.

At the same time, this is something that everyone is worried about and concerned about.

"I don't know how humble, but there are so many rebels, far more than ours, Captain Fu may not be able to last long." The soldiers rushed all the way to break through, and the gasping atmosphere has not been relieved until now.

Panzhong Mountain is not far from Hanyang County City, and riding a horse is only a stick of incense.

The situation was urgent, and Gai Xun didn't have time to talk too much, so he shouted directly: "Lu Bu, Feng Yu."

"The end is here!" The two stood up and clasped fists at the same time.

"I order the two of you to command five thousand riders and rush to Panzhong Mountain. Even at all costs, we must not let the rebels rob our army of food and grass!" Gai Xun's tone was quick and resolute.

"Take orders!" As Gai Xun's most trusted two people, they knew the heavy responsibility of this matter, clasped their fists again, and replied sonorously.

If the tens of thousands of stones of food and grass are robbed, not only the people in the city will gnaw the bark, but they will also have to gnaw the bark.

No wonder the rebels have been missing for a long time. It turned out that they wanted to drive the Han army in Hanyang County to a dead end in one go.

Five thousand riders have finished rectifying at the city gate, so there is no need to talk about the priorities of the matter.When Lu Bu and Feng Yu got on their horses, they galloped towards Panzhong Mountain in the east with full firepower.

The scene on the roadside was flying in his eyes, and he retreated rapidly. Lu Bu stopped to watch inadvertently. He had the same thoughts in his mind as the other soldiers, praying that nothing would happen.

Once the supply of food and grass is interrupted, even if they are not starved to death, they must retreat from Hanyang.

The mountain wind blowing in front of him was cool, but due to the rapid galloping of the four hooves of the war horse, the breeze blew across the face like a cold blade, which was extremely painful.

When we arrived at Panzhong Mountain, everything around us was quiet, it seemed so quiet, only occasionally a few old crows were calling dryly in the forest.

Blood flowed in the mountains and fields, flowing under the roots of thick and dry trees, and melting into the soil deep in the ground.

They are still one step late after all.

There was no trace of the rebels on the Panzhong Mountain, only thousands of Han soldiers who died tragically, and the messy corpses were scattered all over the entire mountain forest.

According to the calculation of the time of the battle, the rebels left here in less than half an hour at most, as long as they are willing to chase, they will definitely be able to catch up.

Lu Bu had this idea. The Qiang people took away so much food, grass and luggage, and here is a mountain road, so it must not be far away.

Just when Lu Bu was about to lead his troops to pursue, Feng Yu, who was the deputy general of the trip, stopped in front of Lu Bu, and persuaded him solemnly: "General Lu, the situation is unclear now, and the rebels are full of tricks. They may set up an ambush and deliberately lure , we'd better wait until the county guard leads the army to come."

Reminiscent of the previous deeds, Feng Yu's words are not unreasonable, the Qiang rebels have hidden clues inside, and they have long been familiar with the actions of the Han army.

Perhaps at this moment, they are squatting in some dark corner, waiting for the Han army to throw themselves into the trap.

But just like this, Lu Bu was unwilling to let the rebels leave with tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass. After careful consideration and weighing, he finally gave up the idea of ​​pursuing.

Looking at the dying Han family sons on the ground, Lu Bu slammed his fist on the tree trunk and roared to the sky: Damn it!
