Chapter 281
Lu Bu returned to the county guard's mansion and told Gai Xun the news that the loan failed.

Knowing that the Jiang family refused to borrow food, Gai Xun was silent for a long time in his position, and then sighed helplessly: "Brother Jiang is really so short-sighted. Even if there is any surplus food left, will it be looted as well?"

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

For such a simple truth, an old man who has lived for five or sixty years can't understand it, which really makes Gai Xun feel depressed and depressed.

"Governor, if it doesn't work, let's grab it. If the soldiers can't fill their stomachs, how will they have the strength to fight in the future." The confidant general Feng Yu gave the most straightforward suggestion.

The method is a good method, and it is easy to implement. As long as you dare to do it, you will not be hungry for at least the last month.The guards of the aristocratic family can't stop this group of big Han soldiers who have fought on the battlefield.

After listening to Feng Yu's suggestion, Gai Xun stared at the personal guard who had followed him for many years with sharp eyes, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Such words are not allowed, we are a disciplined army, if we rush to rob food, What is the difference between this and the rebels. You have been fighting with me for many years, and you should know that even if you starve to death, I will not plunder the property and food of the people in the city, this is the bottom line of this old man."

The current situation is turbulent. If they are not united at this time and want to grab the food stored by the aristocratic family, they may be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry.

The inner ghosts under his command have not been found out yet, if they turn the aristocratic family in the city against them again, secretly communicate with the rebels, then there will be a little cooperation between the inside and the outside, and Hanyang County will be completely destroyed.

As time went by, the food provided for the soldiers in the camp became less and less. In the bowls now, except for the wild vegetables and grass roots dug from outside the city for cooking, there is hardly a grain of rice.If things go on like this, within half a month, they will really have to live a hard life of eating bark to satisfy their hunger.

Fortunately, Gai Xun asked for help from the clan as soon as possible.The three counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Wuwei in the west of Liangzhou are all within the sphere of influence of the Gai family. Although it is somewhat difficult to get together ten thousand stones of food and grass, it finally lives up to the trust.

The food escort team set out from Wuwei and entered the border of Longxi County yesterday.In order to prevent a repeat of the incident at Panzhong Mountain last time, Gai Xun ordered Feng Yu to lead an army of [-] horses to escort them along the way.

"If we can't bring food and grass, we will come to see you later." Feng Yu clasped his fists and said decisively, but when he lowered his face, there was an obscure and deep smile in his eyes.

Lu Bu happened to meet Feng Yu's gaze when he raised his head.Such gloomy eyes made Lu Bu feel extremely uncomfortable, just like the look of a weasel stealing a chicken during the Chinese New Year.

I hope I was worrying too much, after all, Feng Yu is Gai Xun's confidant for many years, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Lu Bu thought so, and didn't have any objections to it.

When the soldiers in the military camp learned that they would be able to eat food again soon, they naturally had new hopes in their hearts, and the vegetable roots they chewed were not as difficult to swallow as before.

On the fifth day after Feng Yu led the army to leave, a galloping horse rushed into the county town from afar with the wounded on its back.

Gai Xun hurriedly ordered someone to give him emergency treatment. Half an hour later, fortunately, there was no danger, and several doctors successfully snatched him back from the hands of the god of death.

Lu Bu came here after hearing the news, and on the way here he was still muttering that good things never happen, but bad things happen one after another.

The enemy is dark and we are clear, and the Han army guards this dilapidated city all day long, which seems too passive.

Gai Xun looked at this man carefully, he didn't have such a number one person under his command, but judging from his armor, he was obviously a general of the rank of lieutenant.

The wounded man was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the young general who had stepped over the threshold.As if he saw the great savior, he knelt down towards Lu Bu desperately, begging with an extremely excited expression: "General Lu, hurry up and save my general!"

The blood on his body, which was finally stopped, burst open again, and the blood soaked the bandage, but the man didn't care about it, he just kowtowed to Lu Bu for help.

"Xu Lin, why is it you!"

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Lu Bu hurried forward to help him up, with a particularly shocked expression on his face.

Xu Lin is Yan Yi's trusted school lieutenant. After expelling the Xianbei people the year before last, tens of thousands of Han soldiers camped in Daqing.When Lu Bu drank with Yan Yi, he also drank two bowls with Xu Lin, so there was an impression in his mind.

Time was running out, and Xu Lin didn't have time to talk about what happened. To make a long story short, they were ambushed by rebels at the junction of Lueyang and Xianqin counties, and Yan Yi, the leading general, was now under heavy siege.

what!
When Lu Bu learned that Yan Yi was in danger, his face changed abruptly on the spot.If Yan Yi had something good or bad under his nose, I really don't know how he will face his wife, daughter, and the second elder of Yan's family when he returns to Bingzhou.

In addition, Yan Yi has a total of five thousand Xiliang armored cavalry. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, there is no wolf cavalry battalion.In the decisive battle with the Xianbei people, Yan Yi led the armored cavalry to save the field in time, which turned the fierce battle into victory.

How many rebels were dispatched to trap the [-] heavy armored cavalry there?
But now is not the time to think about these issues, Yan Yi is trapped, and Lu Bu has to rescue him.

"How far is it from the city of Hanyang County?"

Lu Bu was not familiar with Liangzhou, and he didn't know much about the place names Xu Lin mentioned.But he knew that right now it was a race against time and there was no extra time.

Every second late, the danger will increase by one point.

Hearing Lu Bu's urgent tone, Xu Lin knew that the parachutist would definitely go to rescue his own general.While being grateful, he also knew the seriousness of the situation, and immediately gave a reply: "It's more than forty miles away, and we can arrive within half an hour."

"Okay, I'm going to gather people now." After Lu Bu said that, he turned around and was about to leave the mansion.

After all, Gai Xun is a calm and capable Xiliang general. Out of various considerations, he grabbed Lu Bu's wrist robe and reminded him: "Feng Xian, please calm down first. This matter may not be as simple as you and I think, maybe The rebels deliberately let Colonel Xu come out to report the news, so as to lure us to go. Maybe they have already set up an ambush, just waiting to catch us all."

The meaning in Gai Xun's words is not to save him, but to implement the plan and not to act recklessly in a hothead.

"By the time you plan it out, my second brother's body may have been cold for a long time."

Lu Bu left this sentence, and with Gai Xun's stunned expression, he gave Gai Xun a fist: "I know the sheriff's concerns. Indeed, there is a great possibility of being ambushed during this trip. But Yan Yi is not only my big man." The general of the court, and even the second elder brother of the subordinate, both public and private, even if it is a wolf's den, a certain one will suffer!"
