Han Xian and Yang Feng led Jia into the city. Since they only had a few followers, Gao Shun accompanied them to the government office to meet Lu Bu.
We are friends when we share weal and woe, but when we share the fruits of victory, we all have small calculations.
When Lu Bu saw the solemn expressions on the two men's faces, he knew that these two men were here to ask for food. However, if his own army could not provide enough food, how could he have enough food to feed others?
"What are the two generals doing here if they don't rest in the camp?" Although Lu Bu was unhappy in his heart, he was still very polite to the two of them.
"General Lu, we previously agreed to give me Yuan Shu's military supplies. Recently, my camp is short of food and I came here to ask for it." Yang Feng said with his hand in hand.
After Han Xian was defeated by Cao Cao, he took refuge with his old friend Yang Feng, so he just followed him to gain courage and basically said nothing.
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Ji, why did you say this? I already gave you half of Yuan Shu's military resources. Where is the extra food and grass now?"
"Isn't this right? Chen Yuanlong came to my camp earlier to give me all of Yuan Shu's military resources. He didn't explain this to you clearly?" In fact, Chen Deng was very vague that day. Yang Feng's words were mainly for
To deceive Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu is not very smart, he has no food left, so it is difficult for him to fall into the trap.
"Yuan Long also knows my situation and shouldn't say such things. Besides, the last time I fought with Yuan Shu, I mobilized a lot of troops and horses and spent a lot of money and food..." Lu Bu's implication was that he couldn't work in vain.
Do you have to lose money in one game?
Although Yang Feng knew that he was unreasonable, it was true that the soldiers were hungry. When he took refuge with Yuan Shu, he had not even worried about food and grass. Why was he so embarrassed when he arrived in Xuzhou? At this moment, Yang Feng felt a little regretful.
Now that the deal was done, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I also know the general's difficulties, but the soldiers in my camp are hungry. Once they mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous, and it may also affect the people of Xuzhou..."
Facing Yang Feng's threatening words, how could Lu Bu care about this? He said helplessly: "Uncle Ji really wants to ask the people to borrow food, but I can't do anything about it. Bu really doesn't have any food left to help you."
"Do you really mean what Feng Xian said?" Yang Feng was stunned after hearing this. He thought to himself, "What are you doing? I really robbed Xuzhou, so what else can you, a Xuzhou shepherd, do to take the blame?"
"Ahem, there is nothing we can do about it. In the past, Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian and massacred many people in Xuzhou. Now the people's power has not been restored. The Chen Yuanlong family's taxes have been confiscated for several years, but..."
"But what?" Yang Feng asked.
When Lu Bu mentioned Cao Cao, Yang Feng and Han Xian gnashed their teeth with hatred. How much credit did they have for escorting the emperor? In the blink of an eye, they were taken away by this guy. They had a general and a chariot general, both of whom were personally appointed by the emperor, but now they are dependent on others.
, but still lacked food and clothing.
"In Xiaopei, northwest of Xiapi, I heard that the crop harvest has been quite good in recent years. Why don't you two go to Xiaopei to 'borrow grain'?"
Previously, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian had no labor resources and were plundering near the village of Xiaopei. They heard that they had a good harvest, so Lu Bu came up with a bad idea to them.
"Xiaopei? It seems that Liu Bei, the herdsman of Yuzhou, is stationed there. How can we easily 'borrow' food?" Han Xian asked.
"Liu Xuande has always practiced benevolence and righteousness. He will definitely give you help in times of need." Lu Bu said firmly.
"Is that possible? Why don't I vote for Liu Biao in Jingzhou?" Yang Fengshi asked.
"There are many bandits in Jingzhou, it is safer to stay in Xuzhou..." Lu Bu's face suddenly changed and he threatened, "Right now, there is a food shortage everywhere. No matter who you look for, don't come to me, but if you want to abandon me,
It's not allowed to go either.
The two of them walked out of the city with anxiety. Seeing that Yang Feng was still doubtful, Han Xian persuaded him on the way: "Lü Bu is right. It's a long way to Jingzhou. Since he has personally promised it, let's borrow food directly from the surrounding people."
But, it’s best if Liu Bei is willing to help. If he doesn’t want to help, he can’t starve to death, right? Don’t forget where we come from.”
Yang Feng nodded firmly after hearing this, and then returned to camp to reorganize his troops and march north.
After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, its remnants, led by Guo Tai and others, revolted in the Baibo Valley of Xihe in the fifth year of Zhongping. This rebel army was called the Baibo Army, and Han Xian and Yang Feng were the generals of the Baibo Army.
They later took refuge in the imperial court and danced with the heroes.
Due to the narrow vision of the peasant rebels, the two had their glory days and their troughs. Now when they were short of food, they had no choice but to "return to their old ways" and transformed into bandits in the Xu Yang area.
Yang Feng and Han Siam broke camp and headed north, splitting into two teams to plunder the countryside.
After Gao Shun received the information, he immediately entered the palace to report the military situation to Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu heard that the two soldiers had left, he was overjoyed and said: "It's good to leave, it's good to leave. Who said I, Lu Bu, can't use tactics? Hahaha..."
"My lord, Han Xian is fine, but Yang Feng's military strength is better than that of Liu Bei. I'm afraid Xiaopei will be devastated..." Gao Shun sighed.
"Their soldiers and horses stopped at Xiapi to eat and drink. We are so short of food and grass, so we can't allocate it to them, right? I'm not a saint.
Furthermore, Liu Xuande is recuperating in Xiaopei. Sooner or later, he will be a big problem for me in Xuzhou. I spared him out of Cao Cao's kindness. Yang Feng and Han Xian happened to help me get rid of this person." Lu Bu said coldly.
.
"Yang Feng, Han Xian led the troops away, and the pressure on your city defense will be much less. Don't worry about others, go down." Lu Bu patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and said.
"No." Gao Shun clasped his fists and retreated.
In the Three Kingdoms era, the ambition of a monarch determines his future achievements. Among all the princes, only Cao Cao and Liu Bei wanted to unify the world, so they achieved the highest results in the end; Sun Quan was wandering around in his childhood, and his sinister personality made him only willing to seize the throne in the southeast; like Lu Bu
It is easy for these powerful people who come from humble beginnings and segregate states and counties to stop making progress and become content with the status quo.
Lu Bu suggested that Yang Feng and Han Xian go to plunder Xiaopei, which reached Lu Lingqi's ears, so Gao Shun was stopped by her when he walked out of the government office.
"I heard that Yang Feng and Han Xian led troops to Xiaopei?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"Well, I just left this morning." Gao Shun replied.
"Why don't you give me some advice? What if you hurt him?" Lu Lingqi asked anxiously.
Gao Shun smiled dumbly and said: "Miss, this is what the lord wants. How can I dare to persuade you as a general? Besides, there is a food shortage in the camp now, so the lord has no choice but to do it..."
"What should we do? Ganjiazhuang was looted just last year..." Lu Lingqi said worriedly.
"Miss, don't you care about Xiaopei's affairs? You don't even accept the local products sent by Lantian, so why should you worry about him?" Gao Shun asked in confusion.
"We are all friends, we can't just ignore death, right?"
Gao Shun was happy to see that Lu Lingqi was not telling the truth. He consoled him: "How can Liu Bei ignore it when he is stationed in Xiaopei? Besides, Mr. Ziyu is so smart that he will definitely not suffer any disaster."
"Okay, you need to send more scouts to investigate. If you have any news, tell me first." Lu Lingqi ordered.
"Then I will prepare two military reports. When the time comes to send them to the lord, I will also send one to you..." Gao Shun said with his hand.
