Chapter 85: Hunting Lu Bu
"What? The general personally led people into Luoyang?" Jia Xu was shocked. At this moment, the officer sent by Ma Teng was standing in the lobby.
The officer nodded, "Yes."
Jia Xu asked angrily: "Why didn't Ma Teng dissuade him? How could he let the general take risks?"
The officer quickly explained: "General Ma Teng also tried his best to dissuade us! However, the general insisted on going! The general said that only if he goes can the enemy be contained to the maximum extent!"
Jia Xu was furious, "What a mess! As a commander, he is so reckless! If he has any shortcomings, our army..." Turning to look at the officer, he said urgently: "Go back immediately and tell me
Ma Teng, find a way to inform the general as soon as possible. You must leave Luoyang and return to Hangu Pass as soon as possible! You must tell Ma Teng especially that once Yuan Shao knows that the general is in Luoyang, he will definitely capture and kill the general at all costs.
The general's situation will become very serious! This matter must not be delayed! If the general is in danger, he must attack at all costs! We can all die, but nothing will happen to the general!"
The officer became nervous by Jia Xu's words.
Jia Xu finally asked: "Have you written down everything I said?"
"take note of it."
"Run back now!"
"Promise." The officer promised and hurried out of the hall.
Outside Hangu Pass, Yuan Shaojun's large tent.
Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the tent, with counselors and generals standing on both sides. Yuan Shao stopped and asked Jushu: "Are you sure that Lu Bu is in Luoyang?"
Jushou nodded, "It should be good! There are also many powerful generals under Lu Bu's command, one is Zhang Liao and the other is Ma Chao, and it is now certain that these two people cannot be in Luoyang. In addition, according to Tian Feng, that man's military strength is only
I'm afraid he is still above Zhang Liao and Ma Chao. Although he is covering his face and deliberately hiding his identity, it is almost certain that that person is Lu Bu!"
Xu You took out a portrait from his sleeve and presented it to Yuan Shao, "My lord, please take a look."
Yuan Shao took the portrait and saw that the person in the portrait was Lu Bu. He asked in confusion: "Isn't this a portrait of Lu Bu? What does Ziyuan mean?"
Xu You clasped his fists and said, "This is the portrait Tian Feng sent just now. This portrait was drawn by Tian Feng and asked by a painter based on the memory of a certain innkeeper. Please see, my lord, who else could this person be if he wasn't Lu Bu?"
Yuan Shao looked at the portrait and nodded, "From this point of view, it is certain that Lu Bu is in Luoyang!" Then he said excitedly: "If Lu Bu can be captured and killed, there will be chaos in Guanzhong, and our army can sweep Guanzhong into full force!"
Xu You rushed in front of Ju Shou and said: "My lord is wise! It is no longer important to attack Hangu Pass. We should leave one force here to contain the enemy, while the main force returns to Luoyang to hunt for Lu Bu! Even if Lu Bu is really the devil, it is impossible for him to
Escape from our army of hundreds of thousands!"
Yuan Shaoshen nodded with the same feeling, and immediately ordered: Stay with Ju, and Yan Liang will lead a hundred thousand troops to contain the enemy forces at Hangu Pass. He himself will return to Luoyang with the main force of the commanders, vowing to capture and kill Lu Bu.
With the order given, everyone immediately started taking action.
Yuan Shaojun's actions attracted Guan Ma Teng's attention.
Tian Feng and Qu Yi searched Luoyang for several days, but made no progress. Luoyang is really too big. Putting one or two hundred people in it is like throwing a few stones into a lake. It's not easy to find them.
!
Tian Feng, with a bandage hanging on his left hand, stood on the west city gate tower, looking at the largest city in the world in front of him, frowning. Although he knew Lu Bu was hiding in the city, he could not find him!
Qu Yi and Jiao Chu ran up the city wall and came to Tian Feng. They cupped their fists and saluted: "Your Excellency."
Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "We know that Lu Bu is in Luoyang City, but we can't capture him. How should we report it to the Lord?"
The two generals looked embarrassed, and Qu Yi clasped his fists and said: "Luoyang City is really too big! It has a radius of dozens of miles and a population of more than one million. Finding Lu Bu here is like looking for a needle in a haystack!" Jiao Chu felt the same way.
He nodded and said, "It's really unimaginable that Lu Bu, as the lord, would actually take risks! It's just because it was him. Otherwise, the people above the Rihua Club would have killed them all that day!"
Qu Yi frowned and said: "If we search with this method now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anyone in another month!"
Tian Feng said: "I thought of a way, maybe I can find Lu Bu."
Qu Yi and Jiao Chu showed curiosity.
Tian Feng said: "Actually, the main reason why they are able to hide is the existence of those slums in the city!"
The two nodded with deep sympathy, and Qu Yi said: "It is true. Everything else is easy, but this slum! Not to mention the huge number, and they are unwilling to cooperate with the government. If Lu Bu and the others are mixed in, it will be really difficult."
It’s hard to find!”
Tian Feng said: "We can isolate an area in the square in front of the palace, and then send people into the slums to inform the people there that anyone who is willing to live in the palace square for three days will be rewarded with one tael of silver! Those people will definitely
I can't resist such a temptation! Once they leave, it will be like a lake being drained of water. Will the fish in it still be able to hide?"
Qu Yi and Jiao Hu's eyes widened, and Jiao Hu said excitedly: "Your Excellency's plan is really wonderful!" Qu Yi nodded.
Tian Feng thought: "After the people leave, we will immediately search the slums! At the same time, all passages in the city will be completely blocked, and lookout posts will be deployed throughout the city. As soon as the situation is discovered, we will immediately send a signal with a sounding arrow." After a pause,
"We still have to prepare for the worst. What if no enemy is found in the slums, or not all the enemies are found? If this is the case, then Lu Bu and the others will definitely be hiding in a place that we have not searched before. This time we must not
Anything is missing!”
Jiao Chu said with a confused look on his face: "But those are the residences and properties of your lords, gentry and big businessmen. I'm afraid it's not easy to search them!"
Tian Feng said resolutely: "I can't control that much anymore!" He glanced at the two of them and said, "I'll be responsible for anything! Just follow my orders!"
"Promise." The two of them clenched their fists and agreed.
Qu Yi and Jiao Chu began to faithfully carry out Tian Feng's orders, sending troops to guard the main roads in the city and setting up lookout posts. Qu Yi personally led the troops outside the slums and arranged them properly. Then the people in the slums moved in with money.
Under the temptation of the police, they dragged their families and left the slums through the military checkpoint. Whenever a strong young man passed the checkpoint, the soldiers would stop him, question him carefully, and make sure there were no problems before he was released.
.
The huge population of slums is shrinking rapidly, like a lake being drained.
At the same time, the search for the big bureaucrats and their properties in the city was also going on intensively. Although many people were dissatisfied, they were still cooperative. After all, resisting the search at this time was like colluding with Lu Bu. No one wanted to take the risk.
After being charged with this crime, many people decided to wait until the incident was over and then go to Yuan Shaona to look for Tian Feng's misfortune.
