Chapter 383 The clever flattering magistrate
After deciding on a plan, Zhang Liao sent a flying eagle to deliver a message back to Jinyang that day. On the one hand, he reported the situation here, and on the other hand, he asked Lu Bu to send troops to prepare for a surprise attack on the Huns who might be trapped in the urn.
After receiving a positive reply from Lu Bu, Zhang Liao sent an order back to Yanmen, and ordered Cheng Lian to lead his troops out of Pingcheng, making a gesture of killing Yunzhong County. He also sent people to drive out the people in Meiji City and burnt the Xiongnu royal court.
Zhang Liao's big moves were quickly discovered by the Huns outside the Great Wall. At this time, several tribal leaders hiding in Yunzhong County gathered together to discuss whether they should flee to Wuyuan County or flee to Xianbei first to avoid the limelight.
"What's the point of escaping? In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of the Tang army in Yanmen to rush out, kill him with a carbine, go to Yanmen to rob him, and then escape. In recent years, we have been afraid of Lu Bu and have never gone to Bingzhou to do a big job. He
It’s because we don’t dare to lick Lu Bu’s tiger beard, so we decided to do it once this time.” A leader of the Xibutu tribe yelled, glaring at Tong Ling with his big eyes.
"What if it's a trap? Yanmen is on the inside of the Great Wall. Although the Great Wall is dilapidated, it can still hinder our cavalry. If it is taken away, it will be over." A leader named Hulugu said.
"Hulugu is right. If you want to go there by yourself, I don't dare." Another person said.
"Coward, if you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, we will all be waiting to starve to death next year. We are all as cowardly as lambs. Yanmen doesn't have many garrison troops in total, and they have transferred 8,000, how many more can there be?
Soldiers and horses, look how scared you are." Tong Lingyan cursed.
"Why don't you just run away with everyone and fight the Tang army? If you dare to go back and fight Zhang Liao, I will obey you."
Tong Lingyan immediately fell silent. He only had a few thousand warriors. He couldn't defeat King Xiu Tu, who had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Thinking of this, Tong Ling's eyes lit up and he said, "I have a way for everyone to go to Yanmen to plunder with peace of mind."
Without waiting for others to ask questions, he couldn't wait to say, "The river will freeze solid in about half a month. Let's form a formation and go to the bank of the Yellow River in Jiling to fight to the death with the Tang army to attract their attention. Before that, we will separate 10,000 elite men."
Hide, and when the Tang army's attention is focused on us, we can sneak to Yanmen. As soon as they succeed, we will withdraw our troops and run away."
Everyone's expressions lit up, and one of them said, "This seems okay! Zhang Liao sent troops and traveled through most of the county. He only caught one Jijier at the beginning, and he didn't catch a hair of the others. Isn't this so angry?
Raise troops and burn
After arriving at our royal court, if he encounters a large force at this moment, he will definitely have to gather his forces to fight to the end. Moreover, he has no idea how many soldiers and horses we have. Seeing that the large force is in Jiling and Yanmen, there will be another ambush.
It’s an opportunity!”
"What if we are defeated before Yanmen can take over?"
"Zhang Liao only has a few thousand cavalry. We can gather 40 to 50 thousand people together. He is not as scary as Lu Bu. How can he be defeated so easily? If we can't make the camp stronger," Tong Ling said with eyes.
"Sure! Just do as you say, and then go and gather more tribes. The more people there are, the greater the strength!"
…………
Seven days later, Lu Bu personally led two thousand flying bear troops to Yanmen Loufan County, which was only an hour away from Mayi County and half a day away from Wuzhou County.
"So, all the Xiongnu cavalry have gathered here?"
In the Loufan County Government Hall, after listening to the report, Lu Bu asked, "Approximately how many people are there?"
Song Yuan, magistrate of Loufan County, replied respectfully, "We are almost here. Currently, about 40,000 people have gathered in Jiling, and another 10,000 elite cavalry are quietly hiding in the mountains of Luo County on the east bank of the Yellow River."
Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You really dare to come. The Huns have become more courageous in recent years, but I don't know where they will flee after robbing them?"
Song Yuandao said, "Perhaps some tribes are connected with Xianbei."
"That's not surprising!" Lu Bu nodded slowly, "Xianbei is a vast territory. It's really difficult to pursue them if they escape there. Pay close attention to the opponent's movements and report them in time!"
"Yes!" Song Yuan agreed with his hand, and then smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way here. The inner office has prepared hot water and has people waiting for you to wash and rest."
"Um!"
Lu Bu nodded, got up and followed his attendants to the backyard.
The attendant took him outside a room, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
Lu Bu pushed the door open and entered, and was greeted by a warm and fragrant air. He took a breath, and his tired body couldn't help but relax. Then he looked at the furnishings in the room. In front of the bathtub, there was a large silk and satin screen. On the left
There is a bed that can accommodate three or four people, and there are several light pink tulle hangings hanging on the bed.
Lu Bu knew this kind of gauze. Even though it was thin, it was expensive. This was because it was very difficult to spin. The thread had to be made thinner than wool. In the process of spinning, too much yarn was added, which made it too thick and affected the appearance.
It is less and easy to break. Spinning a piece of cloth is ten times slower than ordinary cloth. The labor cost is high and the price is naturally expensive. Not many people in Bingzhou can afford it. Only Amo, the largest shareholder of the textile factory, can use it.
Grow yarn to make mosquito nets and even... nightgowns.
Lu Bu drove the attendants out, closed the door behind his back, took off his clothes and walked behind the screen. As soon as he walked around the screen, he saw a young girl sitting in the wide bathtub, with loose black hair and only a gauze dress.
The soaked clothes had almost no covering effect, and the two lumps on the chest flickered in and out, which was extremely tempting.
"King!"
The girl looked at him shyly with her big watery eyes, and called him softly, her voice was delicate and soft, which was particularly endearing!
As a man's instinctive reaction, Lu Bu's eyes stayed on the girl and he swallowed involuntarily. In just two seconds, he quickly turned around and shouted at the door, "Someone's coming!"
The two guards drew their swords and pushed open the door. They rushed behind the screen without hesitation, only to see Lu Bu standing there, there was no assassin at all, and the beauty in the tub was protecting her chest with her hands and screaming repeatedly.
The guards were stunned. Why did they call them in in this situation?
Lu Bu said coldly, "What are you doing standing here? Take this woman and the bathtub and throw them out. Give me a bucket and a bucket of water."
"yes!"
In the girl's surprised eyes, the guards sheathed their swords and worked together to move the bucket, but they couldn't move it at all. One of them stretched out his hand to lift the girl out of the bucket, picked up some clothes, wrapped her up and carried her out, then turned back to move it.
Bath tub.
Lu Bu walked to the bed and sat down. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It was true that no one had given him women in the past, but he had never given them to his room naked like today. This Song Yuan was simply hateful, deliberately destroying the relationship between him and his wife.
his family.
When the guards came back from carrying the barrels, Lu Bu said to one of them, "Remember Song and Yuan, and when the Xiongnu matter is settled, ask Bo Huai to investigate him carefully. If there is corruption, he will be dismissed and investigated."
"No!" The guard quickly took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
After a while, Song Yuan heard the report from his subordinates that Lu Bu had thrown the woman out, and quickly ran over to ask for apology, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I arranged a woman for you without asking Your Majesty's preferences. What type do you like? Next
The officer will give you another one."
Lu Bu wanted to fix him up, but the imminent ambush of the Xiongnu would cause complications. He could only suppress his anger and put on a bad face, "I don't like any woman."
Doesn't he like any woman? Song Yuan immediately thought that the king had only one wife for so long, the princess, and thought to himself that he was a cut-off man and married the princess just to carry on the family line? Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand that the great king of the Tang Dynasty did not even have a concubine by his side.
