Chapter 279
The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield and dragged the corpses to bury them accidentally discovered that there were still nearly a hundred soldiers alive.The Qiang people walked in a hurry and did not kill each corpse for inspection, which allowed them to escape from the knife.

When Lu Bu learned that there were still survivors, without any hesitation, he immediately took these seriously injured soldiers back to the city for treatment.As for this, let Feng Yu take care of it for the time being.

On the way back, Lu Bu bumped into the [-] troops led by Gai Xun.

After learning that Lu Bu was a step late, Gai Xun's expression turned extremely ugly, but he didn't say much.He ordered to turn around and return to the county with Lu Bu.

No one mentioned the loss of food and grass. This matter was like a heavy boulder, pressing on everyone's heart, making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.

Until two days later, the wounded soldiers brought back to the city woke up one after another, and the captain who was in charge of escorting the food and grass was also out of danger and woke up with his eyes open.

Duwei's surname is Fu, his single name is Xie (xie), and his style name is Nanrong. He is from Lingzhou in the north.

Last year, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the imperial court recruited people with the ability to lead troops from all over the country to report to Luoyang.Fu Xie went to Beijing, paid homage to the guard Sima, and followed Zuo Zhonglang, Huang Fusong, to the expedition.

Before leaving for the expedition, Fu Xie wrote a letter to the emperor Liu Hong, in which he discussed the root of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and believed that the eunuchs who were trusted by the emperor were also the source of the disaster.As a result, the memorial did not enter the hands of the Son of Heaven, but Zhao Zhong, the Zhongchang Attendant, saw first that the Dachang Attendant, second only to Zhang Rang, suppressed the memorial, and the hatred for Fu Xie in his heart can be imagined.

But at that time, Fu Xie had already followed Huangfusong out of Beijing to the south to suppress the rebellion, so Zhao Zhong put this matter aside for the time being.

Later, Huangfu Song led his army to fight the Yellow Turbans at Cangting, East County, Yanzhou, and defeated the Yellow Turbans army, beheading more than [-] ranks.Fu Xie's troops captured Qushuai Busi, Zhang Bo, and Liang Zhongning alive, ranking first.

After the counter-insurgency is over, rewards should be awarded according to merit.Zhao Zhong saw that Fu Xie had made great contributions, and he held grudges before, so he used it as a hindrance and maliciously framed him. Fortunately, the emperor had a certain impression of Fu Xie and did not pursue too much. He appointed him as the captain of Anding and stayed away from the capital. .

Later on, it was Huangfusong who defended Chang'an to quell the Qiang rebellion.Fu Xie, the captain of Anding, responded positively and joined Huangfusong's command, but the good times didn't last long. Not long after, Huangfusong was recalled to Luoyang because of his ineffectiveness in hunting down the thieves.

Knowing that Fu Xie woke up, Gai Xun in the county guard's mansion immediately put down his work at hand and came to show his condolences.

Lu Bu also followed. He and Fu Xie had served under Huangfusong's command when he went south to crusade against the moth thieves, and the two were quite acquainted.

Walking into the wounded barracks, Fu Xie was lying on the couch with several rounds of dense cloth belts wrapped around his abdomen and arms.Seeing Gai Xun's arrival, Fu Xie endured the pain and sat up, wanting to stay on the bed and salute.

Seeing this, Gai Xun hurriedly took two steps forward, supported Fu Xie's sick body, and caressed him kindly: "Captain Fu, don't move around, if the wound is triggered to burst, the old man will have to die." Blame."

Hearing what Gai Xun said, Fu Xie nodded in response, and lay back on the couch again.

"Brother Nan Rong, long time no see, do you still remember Lu?" A man stood behind Gai Xun, with a slight smile on his gentle face.

With such a tall and straight body, coupled with that unique magnetic voice, Fu Xie recognized this young flying general without looking closely.Most martial arts practitioners have awe and respect from the bottom of their hearts for a powerhouse like Lu Bu who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, and Fu Xie is no exception.

Although he studied in Luoyang for many years when he was young, he still had the passion to fight the enemy in his bones.Looking at Lu Bu, Fu Xie's eyes were shining brightly, and he sincerely admired: "General Lu's heroic demeanor on the battlefield, even if Fu has only seen it once, it is enough to be unforgettable in a lifetime."

After a brief greeting, Gai Xun returned to the topic and asked about the process of the robbing of food and grass.

boom!
A fist the size of a sandbag slammed down on the bed. Fu Xie gritted his teeth ferociously with a resentful expression on his face.

That day they walked to Panzhong Mountain, because the mountain road was relatively steep and difficult to walk, and after walking for half a day, the soldiers were all tired.Fu Xie ordered a temporary rest, but during this moment of rest, tens of thousands of rebels suddenly rushed out from all around, catching them by surprise.

The intention of the rebels is obvious, and it is clear that they want to cut off food and roads.

But Fu Xie had an upright personality, let alone a soft shrimp, and immediately called out his soldiers to fight the rebels to the end.

Under the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the few, Fu Xie sent people to break out to report the news. After all, the distance between Panzhong Mountain and Hanyang County City is not far.

It's a pity that the reinforcements were still one step too late.

Fu Xie couldn't figure out how the rebels would know the time and route to escort the grain and grass.He was cautious along the way and sent scouts to explore the way almost the whole way, but he was still caught off guard by the rebels.

Food and supplies are related to military secrets, and only Gai Xun, Zhang Wen, and Chief Grain Officer Sun Jian knew the route of the trip.If there really was a spy, then the biggest suspicion should be on Sun Jian.

But this is only a temporary guess. Before there is conclusive evidence, Gai Xun will not categorically frame Sun Jian as the insider hiding in the army.

Before leaving, Gai Xun comforted Fu Xie with kind words, signaling him not to blame himself too much.This matter was not his responsibility. To be able to face a strong enemy without retreating half a point, and dare to fight to the death, he has already fulfilled the duty of a soldier.

A few days later, Zhang Wen, who was stationed at Chencang, sent a letter.The letter mentioned that not only the grain and grass transported to Hanyang were robbed, but the other two routes also failed to escape the bad luck. The rebels knew their movements like the back of their hands.

When this incident spread to Luoyang, the ruling and opposition parties were extremely shocked.In the decree issued by the emperor, not only severely reprimanded Zhang Wen for his incompetence, but also asked him to eliminate this rebel army before the end of the year, otherwise he would wait to resign and return to his hometown to farm.

Looking at Zhaozhi in his hand, Zhang Wen has two big heads with one head.It would take at least two or three months to raise such a large amount of food and grass, but now the food and grass in Hanyang City can only be eaten for half a month.

If you let the army come back first, and then go to Liangzhou to crusade, I don't know how long it will be delayed.His Majesty only gave him half a year, so Zhang Wen could only put all his eggs in one basket.

He asked Gai Xun to stabilize Hanyang, and he would raise the army rations and transport them as quickly as possible.

After reading the letter, Gai Xun sighed heavily in the sheriff's seat.

The imperial court asked them to deal with the rebels within half a year. It was easy to say, but it was not that easy.According to his estimation, the rebellion cannot be suppressed within two or three years.

The reason is such a reason, but then again, who dares to bargain with the emperor?
Liu Hong is eager for quick success, and you must be credited for arranging things. If you can't figure it out, I will replace him.In the majestic entire Han Dynasty, can't there be a person who suppressed the rebellion?
