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

Chapter 280 Borrowing Food
Everyone in the barracks knew about the looting of food and grass, and everyone was worried about whether they would starve to death in this city.

Gai Xun was also worried about this. If he really had to wait until the food and grass were exhausted and there was nothing to eat, he might cause riots sooner or later.Maybe the Qiang people had this idea. When the hunger of the Han army caused civil strife, they only needed to watch from the sidelines, reap the benefits of the fishermen, and then without any effort, they could completely wipe out the Han army in Hanyang.

The situation is urgent, and there are only two options for Gai Xun.

First, lead the army to leave Hanyang and find another place to go, either returning to Chencang or moving to Longxi.Second, seek help from aristocratic families in the city and ask them to provide food and grass to supply the army's expenses for nearly two months.

However, the time limit given by the emperor is only half a year. If the Hanyang rebels are not quickly eliminated, the war may last for a long time.

Therefore, option [-] has become the best choice.

When it comes to aristocratic families, one has to talk about the leading family in Hanyang City, the Jiang family.

Knowing that Jiang Mian's son works under Lu Bu, Gai Xun thought about taking advantage of this relationship to get Lu Bu to make friends with him, saying that Mr. Jiang would give food.

Lu Bu considers himself a reckless man, not to mention articulate, and he is really far from being a lobbyist, not to mention that he was still in the Jiang family's mansion a few days ago, and let the patriarch act in front of so many servants. I can't come to the stage face to face.

But since it was about the survival of the soldiers of the three armies, Lu Bu could only bite the bullet and go through it.

Jiang Mian, who was walking in the courtyard, heard about Lu Bu's visit, and said goodbye to the steward without any hesitation.

Lu Bu didn't force it after being rejected, he was not thick-skinned enough to stay at the door of Jiang's house.Jiang Mian didn't want to see him, it must be because of the anger from the past few days.

Turning around to leave, Jiang Jiong forcibly broke into the mansion.

The servants did not dare to stop the young master of the Jiang family, and soon, Jiang Jiong brought Lu Bu to the old man with ease.

When Jiang Mian saw the two rushing towards him, she obviously had a bad face, but she didn't ask the servant to drive the two out of the house.

He sat down against the stone pier of the rockery, put the stick in his hand beside his feet, and lightly beat his rickety back, his eyes did not turn to Lu Bu, but to Jiang Jiong's body, with a bit of meanness in his tone: " Why did General Lu think of visiting the humble house, could it be that the old man was not ashamed enough a few days ago?"

Lu Bu was about to reply, but the old man waved his hand to stop him and said, "If you said it was to find the old man to raise food, then you don't have to say anything, you can go back now, I'm sorry if the old man doesn't send it."

In one sentence, all Lu Bu's thoughts were cut off.

Having lived to this age, the old guy's vision is poisonous, how could he fail to guess the purpose of Lu Bu's trip.

Being exposed by others, Lu Bu had a momentary embarrassment on his face, but he still wanted to do his part, so he hugged the old man and persuaded him: "Patriarch Jiang, maybe you are still angry. If so, then Lu Bu I apologize to you here, I hope you have a lot of adults, and don’t care about us like the younger generation. But the current situation is urgent, and this is not your personal matter. In the fight against the rebels, we should unite as one, Let's fight the enemy together..."

"Stop it, killing the enemy and countering the rebellion is something your generals should worry about, so what do you have to do with this old man? Otherwise, what would the court and the people support you for?"

The old man has an attitude of being nothing to do with himself, and he doesn't take oil or salt.He got up with a cane, called the steward of the mansion, and waved his hand, "I'm tired, see off the guests."

"Please, General Lu." The steward invited in the direction of the mansion gate, indicating that it was time for Lu Bu to leave.

Lu Bu didn't try to persuade them too much, he was still far behind in dealing with these mature people.In addition, he basically couldn't think of a better way to say it, so there was no point in staying here.

Jiang Jiong next to him was extremely displeased with this. He had been at odds with his father since he was a child. Now that the country is in crisis, his father still only thinks about his own gains and losses. This makes him, a son, extremely disappointed.

He stopped his father who wanted to go back to the house, and made his last effort with righteous words: "Father, you are at this juncture, what are you still obsessed with? If we evacuate, nothing will happen when the rebels break through Hanyang I will leave half a grain of grain for you. My son understands such a simple truth, why can't you figure it out?"

"You bastard, you still have the face to call me father, I'm not as disobedient as you! Also, when I make a decision, when will you come to criticize and point fingers, get out, and you will not be allowed to step into my ginger again in the future." One step at home!"

Jiang Jiong kept throwing his elbows out, which made the old man very angry. The old man blushed and severed the father-son relationship with Jiang Jiong on the spot, and pointed in the direction of the gate, telling him not to come back in this life.

Looking at the back of the old man returning to the house, Jiang Jiong froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning, unable to move, his eyes were red.

The steward sent the two of them away, and at the gate of the mansion he did not forget to tell the two of them not to come to the Jiang's house again if they had nothing to do. The old man's health has not been as good as before in the past two years.

Jiang Mian went back to the house slowly, and just as she put down the crutches, she heard the sound of the door opening.

The door of the house was pushed open, and a tall and sturdy man walked in, who dared to come in without knocking on the door to ask permission, and he was the only one in the entire mansion.

The man stepped into the house, pushed the door behind his back, and said to Jiang Mian with a smile: "Patriarch Jiang, calm down, don't be a disobedient person, and get angry and ruin your body, it's not worth it."

Jiang Mian glanced at the man, suppressing the anger and displeasure in her heart, "What did Mr. Dong say?"

"I didn't say anything," the man shook his head slightly, looked for a place to sit down, and said in a neutral tone, "As long as you don't give food and grass to the officers and soldiers, follow the plan, and keep the position of governor of Liangzhou in the future. As for Hanyang Sheriff, after driving Gai Xun away, your eldest son will succeed you."

Hearing this promise, Jiang Mian's complexion finally improved a little.However, the man's warning at the back made him feel like falling into an ice cellar again, "But if you want to make a move, I can't guarantee that the more than two hundred members of the Jiang family will see the sun tomorrow."

When the man said these words, the cold and dark light in his eyes flickered, like a hyena with a faint light.

With such a blatant threat, the head of the Jiang family had no choice but to let out a long sigh in his heart.Before, he only wanted to cling to Dong Zhuo with all his heart, so that the Jiang family could climb to a higher position in Liangzhou.

But now, it is precisely because of this restless ambition that the Jiang family and even the entire Liangzhou have been brought into trouble.

Dong Zhuo's subordinates are all sulky, and none of them are kind.

If you kill the whole family, there will definitely not be a single survivor.
