The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 322 Send Jin Zhu Back to Pengcheng
Ling Cao arranged for two regular followers to cross the river.

After the entourage crossed the river, Feng Ji was still restless.

Twenty buckets of gold beads, if he returns to Yecheng, he may be able to get them all together, but right now he is in Yanjin, and it is still uncertain whether he can bring the gold beads back after the entourage crosses the river.

When two of Fengji's followers crossed the river, Yuan Shao had already led an army to station on the north bank of Yanjin.

Hearing that Fengji's entourage had returned, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered them to be brought before him.

Staring at the two trembling followers, Yuan Shao asked, "How is Yuan Tu over there?"

One of the attendants was trembling all over and said to Yuan Shao without daring to raise his head: "Feng Gong is not in danger of his life there, but just wait for a few more days, we can't be sure..."

"How do you say it?" From the words of the entourage, Yuan Shao heard that Fengji would be in danger, and asked with concern, leaning forward.

"Since Fenggong crossed the river, Zhou Yu has never seen him." The entourage replied: "Later, Huang Gai offended Zhou Yu and specially sent someone to invite Fenggong. head sacrificial flag."

"What a Zhou Yu, if he dares to touch a single hair of Yuan Tu, I will have his entire army buried!" Yuan Shao slapped the table in front of him.

The two followers trembled and almost collapsed to the ground.

"My lord." Ju Shou said to Yuan Shao next to him, "It's useless to get angry here. Do you want to send someone over to invite Feng Gong back?"

"Okay!" Yuan Shao replied, "You can make arrangements now..."

Yuan Shaocai ordered Jushou to bring Fengji back, and one of his attendants said, "If people go there at this time, I'm afraid even the people who went there will not be able to come back."

"What's going on?" Yuan Shao frowned tightly, and asked his followers: "If you have something to say, you should explain it clearly at once, don't hesitate, it will make people feel upset."

Seeing that Yuan Shao was a little angry, his followers hurriedly told Ling Cao about asking for twenty dou of gold beads.

"Ling Cao dares to ask for twenty gold beads." Yuan Shao's face was livid, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll order the whole army to cross the river, and when they get there, we'll see how much he wants."

"The lord can't do it!" The two attendants knelt down quickly, and the one who had been answering said: "If the army moves, Feng Gong's head will be lost!"

"Tell me, what do I want?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Ling Cao just wants twenty dou of gold beads, so give them to him first." The entourage replied: "When Duke Feng comes back, the lord will order the army to cross the river. After the battle, aren't all the gold beads belong to the lord?"

What the entourage said made sense, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"My lord..." Ju Shou next to him wanted to speak.

Yuan Shao stopped him: "Order to go down, prepare twenty dou of gold beads, let them take Yuan Tu back to me across the river."

"Twenty buckets of gold beads sent over, if Feng Yuantu hasn't come back, isn't it just giving others benefits?" Ju Shou finally couldn't hold back, and said to Yuan Shao: "I don't think Zhou Yu will take it easy even if the army crosses the river." Kill Feng Yuantu. Keeping him is far more useful than killing him."

"If he does that, who will take the responsibility?" Yuan Shao glared at Jushou.

Ju Shou didn't know what to say when he asked him, Yuan Shao continued: "Feng Yuantu went to the south bank to persuade Zhou Yu. He is in danger at this time, of course I hope I can save him. If one of you People and one are in the same predicament, will you persuade me to ignore it?"

Even saying such words, it is obvious that Yuan Shao is no longer willing to listen to anyone's advice.

He made up his mind to rescue Feng Ji from the other side.

Feng Ji is someone close to him, and he used to be very handy in using it.

Moreover, the relationship between Yuan Shao and him is also extraordinary, and he is willing to discuss with him and the judge on some big and small matters.

Now that Feng Ji is in deep danger, of course Yuan Shao will not ignore it.

He gave an order to bring twenty dou of gold beads to the two attendants, and someone went there immediately.

Twenty buckets of gold beads is not a small amount.

On the river bank, the people brought by Ling Cao were still waiting on the boat.

Two entourages led a group of Yuan Jun to the shore carrying twenty buckets of gold beads.

The soldiers of the Yuan army were about to send the gold beads onto the boat, when the soldiers of the Xuzhou army who were waiting to put them on shouted: "You all stop, let them carry the gold beads up."

It was Yuan Shao's general Han Meng who brought this team of Yuan Jun.

"When will they get so many gold beads?" Han Meng glared at the Xuzhou army on the boat: "We will follow along and cross the river, and we can help carry the gold beads over."

"General Ling said that no one is allowed to upload other than the two of them." The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army ignored Han Meng's fierce eyes and said to him: "If anyone tries to follow the boat, we have to row the boat back. It’s okay if you don’t want Jin Zhu.”

The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army were obviously ordered by Ling Cao, so they spoke so forcefully.

Han Meng had no choice but to ask the soldiers to put Jin Zhu down.

Two attendants carried the gold beads and sent them to the boat one by one.

When all the gold beads were delivered to the boat, the two of them would also jump aboard afterward.

Who would have thought that Xuzhou army soldier said to them: "You two don't have to cross the river, two more people, my general will have more trouble when he wants to send someone back."

Being blocked by the Xuzhou army, the two followers could only watch helplessly as the boat left the river bank and sailed towards the opposite side.

The ship was about to approach the shore, and another group of Xuzhou troops appeared on the other side.

They took the gold beads from the boat and carried them to the barracks on the shore.

On the north side of the river bank, Han Meng watched the Xuzhou army carry away the gold beads, and gave the two attendants a hard look: "If Feng Yuantu doesn't come back, you two won't have a good time."

The two attendants dared not speak tremblingly, they just kept agreeing.

On the opposite bank of the river, soldiers of the Xuzhou army carried the gold beads to Ling Cao's tent.

Besides Ling Cao, Zhou Yu was also in the tent.

They brought the gold beads in, and Ling Cao said to Zhou Yu, "General Zhou, please have a look at the twenty gold beads."

"There is no good purpose." Zhou Yu replied: "You go back and bring a hundred people to send the gold beads to Pengcheng and hand them over to the treasury."

"Send it to Pengcheng?" Ling Cao was taken aback, "Don't tell me General Zhou doesn't plan to stay?"

"Why should I keep these?" Zhou Yu said, "If the Marquis of Chu finds out about the gold beads, he might think we have two hearts. It's better to hand them over to the treasury, and then the Marquis of Chu will decide how to use them." .”

"It's okay to send it to Pengcheng, why does General Zhou want me to go?" Ling Cao said reluctantly: "I am by the general's side, no matter what, I can always do something. Go back to Pengcheng and wait for me to come back By then, the general and Yuan Shao may have finished fighting."

"Not so fast." Zhou Yu said: "When you come back, the two sides may not necessarily start a war. I think Yuan Shao's posture should be looking for the best time to cross the river. Before the time comes, he will definitely not order an attack easily .”

"When does General Zhou want me to leave?" Ling Cao asked.

"Put Fengji back first, and then you take someone to escort Jin Zhu back to Pengcheng." Zhou Yu said, "Don't forget to send someone to the Marquis of Chu when you are about to arrive in Pengcheng. Leave everything here to me." Chu Hou said, especially Jin Zhu, you must make it clear to Chu Hou and ask him to make a decision. You don’t have to rush back if you don’t wait for Chu Hou’s reply, just wait there.”

"I've already sent them all back. Could it be that Marquis Chu will send them back?" Ling Cao said, "I'd better send them to Pengcheng and come back right away."

"If you want you to wait there, just wait, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yu said, "I don't know what Chuhou is planning, but I need you to wait there for a reply."

"I understand." Although it was not very clear why Zhou Yu arranged this, Ling Cao could only agree, resigned, and left his own camp.

The gold beads have been delivered, but Fengji doesn't know yet.

He didn't get a reply from Ling Cao, and he was still reminding him to wait in fear.

When he was fidgeting, the voice of the attendant came from outside the tent: "Mr. Feng, General Ling is asking to see you."

"Hurry up, please!" Hearing that Ling Cao was coming, Feng Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered his followers to invite him in.

The attendants led Ling Cao into the tent, and Feng Ji came up to greet him and asked, "General Ling, what happened to that?"

"Feng Gong is really in such a hurry to cross the river?" Ling Cao said, "You know, once you cross the river, it will not be so easy to come back."

"I'm just waiting to die here, why don't you want to cross the river?" Feng Ji said: "General Ling, don't tease me anymore, please let me know if you can send me there."

"The golden bead has arrived, of course I have to fulfill my promise." Ling Cao said, "Fenggong should hurry up and prepare, we should go too."

Ling Cao said he would send him across the river, Feng Ji was relieved.

He said to Ling Cao: "Thank you, General Ling, for saving me."

"If you talk about saving them, it's also because of the gold beads." Ling Cao replied with a smile: "Fang Gong doesn't need to feel that he owes me anything. If he really feels owed, he owes the gold beads too."

"General Ling really knows how to joke." Feng Ji replied in embarrassment, and then asked: "Dare to ask the general, when are we leaving?"

"You can do it now." Ling Cao said: "The boat is already waiting on the other side, please come with me, Mr. Feng."

Although he was not sure what he would meet after boarding the boat, Feng Ji followed Ling Cao to the bank of the Yellow River.

When he came to the shore, he saw a small boat waiting there.

Ling Cao said to him: "When Mr. Feng takes his attendants on board, I won't send them off."

"Thank you General Ling!" Feng Ji bowed to Ling Cao: "I will never forget the general's friendship."

"It's better for Fenggong to forget, for the sake of Jinzhu, I don't even want my life." He pulled the corner of his mouth and said to Fengji: "When Fenggong returns to the north shore, please tell Yuan Benchu ​​that General Zhou will never surrender. If you want to fight, please hurry up, don't dawdle, the waiting person is really upset."

Ling Cao's words were provocative, and Feng Ji didn't respond to him. He hummed a few times in response casually, and boarded the boat with a few entourages, and headed to the other side.

Standing on the bank, looking at the boat going to the opposite bank, Ling Cao shook his head with a smile.

In the past, he had also heard that Feng Ji was capable, but after meeting him, he realized that this person might not be very capable, but it was definitely very important to Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shao would not be willing to give so much Jin Zhu also rescued him.

Watching Fengji board the north bank, and seeing him running towards the barracks on the opposite bank, being greeted by a group of Yuan Jun, Ling Cao turned around and returned to his tent.

Zhou Yu was still waiting in the tent, and when he saw Ling Cao came back, he asked, "How? Send Feng Ji there?"

"General Hui Zhou has already sent him back." Ling Cao said, "Feng Ji really thought that I was willing to send him back because I got the golden bead. At this time, I should be complacent and saved my life."

"I still don't quite understand the meaning of Marquis Chu." Zhou Yu said, "Feng Ji is an extremely important person around Yuan Shao. If he keeps him here, Yuan Shao will definitely be a weapon. But not only is Marquis Chu not planning to keep him , let alone kill him, but asked me to send him back. I still can't figure out what Chu Hou meant."

"Even General Zhou can't figure out what Chuhou means, and I can't even figure it out." Ling Cao replied, "I just don't think General Zhou should send Jin Zhu back to Pengcheng. There will be many benefits in the future.”

"Benefits?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "A person's life is not just a few buckets of gold beads. If only gold beads are counted, you and I will earn more than twenty buckets in this life. I expect the gold beads to be sent to Pengcheng , Marquis Chu will return some to us, that’s why he asked you to wait there.”

Zhou Yu said that Lu Bu would return some of the gold beads, and Ling Cao was taken aback: "Would Chu Hou return some of the things that have already been sent to us?"

"At least return some back." Zhou Yu said: "General Ling, don't think about it any more. When you arrive in Pengcheng, you wait there for a few days. Chuhou gave the feedback, and you will know what will happen."

Looking at Zhou Yu suspiciously, Ling Cao still couldn't believe it. After so many gold beads were sent to others, others would be willing to take some out and return them.

Although he didn't believe such a thing would happen in his heart, Ling Cao still bowed to Zhou Yu: "I'll just follow General Zhou's order."

"Be careful on the road." Zhou Yu stood up and told Ling Cao: "From here to Pengcheng, you have to pass through Cao Cao's territory. Lost the golden pearl."

"Don't worry, General Zhou." Ling Cao replied, "Even if I risk my life, I will definitely send Jinzhu back to Pengcheng safely."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Zhou Yu nodded twice and left Ling Cao's tent.

When Zhou Yu left, Ling Cao shouted outside the tent: "Come here!"

A soldier walked in from outside the tent.

Ling Cao instructed him: "Choose a hundred strong soldiers, and I will take them to escort some things back to Pengcheng."

After receiving the order, the soldiers withdrew from the tent to select the soldiers who would accompany Ling Cao back to Pengcheng.
