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

Chapter 616
Chenliu County is hundreds of miles away.

Liang Guo, Suiyang.

In the past, the great ancestor founded the country as the Han Dynasty. While inheriting the "prefecture and county system" of Qin Dynasty, he also implemented the feudal state system, which was used to reward the meritorious ministers under his command and the royal family.

It was originally intended to win over people's hearts and strengthen the centralization of power, but later it was difficult to control, so that there was a chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, threatening the court.

Later, Emperor Wu Liu Che implemented the decree of grace and the law of supplementary benefits. After many years, he finally solved the disasters of the kingdom and the marquis, but the country names of various places survived.

In the county mansion, Zhang Chao, who served as Liang Guoxiang, frowned deeply, with a serious expression.

At this time, a burly middle-aged man walked into the hall, bowed his hands to Zhang Chao, and asked, "President Guo, you are so eager to call me here, but something serious happened?"

The man's name is Zang Hong, from Sheyang County, Guangling County.His father, Zang Min, served successively as General Zhonglang of the Huns, Sheriff of Zhongshan, and Sheriff of Taiyuan.

And Zang Hong himself is also very talented. He was selected as Xiaolian by the court in his early twenties, and then served as a Lang Guan. He was elected as a county magistrate at the same time as Liu Yao, Wang Lang and others, and he made great achievements in local politics.

As early as when the feudal lords were begging for Dong, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, quietly pulled his younger brother aside at the Suanzao meeting and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you are in Guangling, and you have never cared about the rewards and punishments for administrative education. Let Zang Hong do all the work. You are my brother, what kind of person is this Zang Hong?"

Zhang Chao answered very simply at that time, because there was no need to hide from his elder brother: "Zang Hong's talent and wisdom are all stronger than mine, and he is loyal and courageous. I especially rely on him, and he can be called a rare man in the world."

Hearing his younger brother's admiration, Zhang Miao immediately met Zang Hong. After the conversation, Zhang Miao made a "big difference" and took the initiative to make friends with Zang Hong.

Seeing Zang Hong coming in, Zhang Chao felt more at ease, and asked him to find a seat to sit down, and then slowly said: "A few days ago, I sent someone to give my brother some specialties from the Liang Kingdom, but it turned out Did not enter the city."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Zang Hong took a sip of tea, doubts appeared on his face.It stands to reason that if the younger brother sends a gift, there is no reason for the elder brother to reject him.What's more, the Zhang family brothers have always had a very good relationship, and there has never been a rumor that there is a gap between the brothers.

"Ziyuan, you don't know something."

Zhang Chao shook his head bitterly, and told the whole story: "It's not my elder brother who stopped me, but Chen Liu has been besieged by Lu Bu's army, and no one can enter or leave. It has been a full month."

"What, Chenliu County was besieged for a month?"

Zang Hong was also very surprised, no one had ever heard of this matter.

Hadn't he received news a few days ago that Lu Bu was stationed in Yan County and was about to wrestle with Yuan Shao, how could he have gone to Chen Liu quietly and besieged Chen Liu for as long as a month.

The distance between Liang Guo and Chen Liu is four to five hundred miles. Although the speed of news transmission is very slow, it is not so far behind!

Zang Hong is still puzzled.

"That guy Lu Bu has surrounded Chen Liu into an iron barrel, and there are people guarding the gates of the city day and night. I guess my brother should have tried to break out of the siege for help, but failed." Zhang Chao sighed, with a little worry on his face.

"Then why didn't the county magistrates near Chenliu County send troops to rescue them, or send people to inform us?" Zang Hong asked again. Since he knew that Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao were brothers, Chenliu County was attacked by Lu Bu, and the surrounding county magistrates even beat them. But Lu Bu should have sent someone to ask for help, why hasn't he heard any message for help so far.

Mentioning this matter, Zhang Chao was furious, with an angry expression on his face: "Those cowards, hearing Lu Bu's name, their legs are already weak, how dare they send troops to rescue. Many people even directly raised the lowered flag and took refuge in Lu Bu early. Lu Bu."

A group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, they are full of wine and food!
Hearing Zhang Chao's yelling, Zang Hong remained silent.

Whoever has milk is a mother. Many people who are officials in this world are like this. Whoever promises them glory, they will follow.

There are loyal people, but compared to those who follow the crowd, they seem to be few and far between.

What's more, behind Lu Bu, there is still such a big court.

The situation was urgent, so Zhang Chao stopped talking nonsense with Zang Hong, and went straight to the point: "Zi Yuan, I called you here today to discuss with you how to rescue my brother."

If this continues, the people in Chenliu City will probably break out in riots without waiting for Lu Bu to attack.After all, the autumn harvest is just around the corner, and it is impossible for the common people to watch helplessly as the food that has been cultivated for a year is in vain.

Living in troubled times, for the low-level people whose lives are as cheap as ants, it doesn't matter who is the emperor or who is in power.

Only food is their hope of survival.

After listening to Zhang Chao's confession, Zang Hong thought about it.

Zhang Miao was trapped in Chenliu, he must be rescued, the problem is how to rescue him.

In a frontal battle, there are many elite soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and even the once fierce Xianbei people have to avoid their edge.If Zhang Chao went to fight head-to-head, he might not be fully sure.

What's more, the two of them witnessed Lu Bu showing his power in Hulao, and the memories are still fresh.

"National Prime Minister, how many soldiers and horses are you going to recruit?" Zang Hong asked.

Zhang Chao thought for a while, and raised two fingers, twenty thousand.

This is the maximum number of soldiers he can mobilize so far. The total number of troops in Liang is about [-], but he has to keep some soldiers to maintain local law and order.

Otherwise, once there is a disaster in the rear, there will be no one to guard.

This will definitely not work.

Zang Hong thought about it in his mind, [-] soldiers and horses, after all, was a little less.

Now, they know almost nothing about Lu Bujun's intelligence.But since Lu Bu dared to send troops to besiege the city, it is enough to show that his troops are definitely not in the minority.

The [-] soldiers led by Zhang Chao alone may not be enough.

Zang Hong thought for a while, then stood up and offered advice to Zhang Chao: "Minister, why don't you send someone to the State Shepherd's Mansion in Yanzhou, inform Cao Mengde, and ask him to send troops to rescue him. Based on his friendship with Brother Ling, he should not die. No help."

Hearing this, Zhang Chao came to his senses, clapped his hands suddenly, and shouted, "That's right, why did I forget this person!"

When Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong and fled to the east, Zhang Miao took him in at the risk.Later, when the princes challenged Dong, Zhang Miao also supported Cao Cao with all his strength, and even lent him soldiers and horses when Cao Cao was defeated.

Now that Cao Cao is in charge of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao also has a lot of credit.

Moreover, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are good friends who have known each other for many years, so Cao Cao has no reason to refuse to save them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chao suddenly had an idea and brought up his pen: "I will write a letter, which will be sent to Yanzhou as soon as possible to ask Cao Cao for help."
