The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield and dragged the corpses to bury them accidentally found that there were still nearly 100 soldiers alive. The Qiang people walked in a hurry, and they did not examine the corpses one by one, so that they escaped from the knife.

When Lu Bu learned that there was still a living mouth, he did not hesitate and immediately took these seriously injured soldiers back to the city for treatment. As for this, it will be handled by Feng Yu for the time being.

On the way back, Lü Bu bumped into the 20,000 troops led by Gai Xun.

After learning that Lu Bu was a step late, Gai Xun's face was extremely pale, but he didn't say much. ordered a reversal of direction and returned to the county with Lu Bu.

No one mentioned the loss of grain and grass again, and it was like a heavy boulder that weighed on everyone's heart, making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.

It wasn't until two days later that the wounded soldiers brought back to the city woke up one after another, as well as the lieutenant who was in charge of escorting grain and grass, was also out of danger and woke up with his eyes open.

Duwei's surname is Fu, the single name Xie (xie), the word Nanrong, and a native of Lingzhou in the north.

Last year, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the imperial court conscripted people from all over the country who had the ability to lead troops to report to Luoyang. Fu Xie entered Beijing, worshiped the army Sima, and went out with Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song.

Before setting out on the expedition, Fu Xie wrote to Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, in which he discussed the root cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and believed that the favored eunuchs around the Son of Heaven were also the source of the trouble. As a result, the music did not enter the hands of the Son of Heaven, but let Zhao Zhong, the middle attendant, see it first, and the eldest permanent attendant, whose identity is second only to Zhang Rang, forcibly suppressed this letter, and the hatred for Fu Xie in his heart can be imagined.

But at that time, Fu Xie had already followed Huangfu Song out of Beijing to the south to suppress the rebellion, and Zhao Zhong put this matter aside for the time being.

Later, Huangfu Song led the army to fight with the Yellow Turban in Cangting, East County, Yanzhou, and broke the Yellow Turban Army and beheaded more than 7,000 ranks. Fu Xie's department even captured Qu Shuai Bu Si, Zhang Bo, and Liang Zhongning, ranking first.

After the counterinsurgency is over, rewards should be awarded for merit. Zhao Zhong saw that Fu Xie had made a lot of contributions, coupled with his previous grudges, so he made an obstacle and maliciously framed him, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven had a little impression of Fu Xie, and he did not pursue it too much, and appointed him as the governor of Anding, away from Kyoto.

After that, it was Huangfu Song who guarded Chang'an to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people. Fu Xie, who was the commander of Anding, responded positively and joined Huangfu Song's command, but the good times did not last long, and it didn't take long for Huangfu Song to be recalled to Luoyang because of his ineffectiveness in begging for thieves.

Knowing that Fu Xie woke up, Gai Xun in the county guard mansion immediately put down the affairs at hand and came to care for him.

Lu Bu also followed, he once worked with Fu Xie under the command of Huangfu Song when he went south to crusade against the moth thieves, and the two were quite acquainted.

Walking into the camp for wounded soldiers, Fu Xie was lying on the couch, with several circles of dense cloth bands wrapped around his abdomen and arms. Seeing Gai Xun coming, Fu Xie endured the pain and sat up, wanting to stay and salute.

Seeing this, Gai Xun hurriedly stepped forward, supported Fu Xie's sick body, and caressed him with kind words: "Fu Duwei, don't move around, if the wound is triggered, the old man will be to blame." ”

Hearing Gai Xun say this, Fu Xie nodded and lay back on the couch.

"Brother Nanrong, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember Lu?" Behind Gai Xun stood a man, his gentle face mixed with a slight smile.

With such an upright body and a unique magnetic voice, Fu Xie didn't have to look closely to recognize this young pilot. For a strong person like Lu Bu who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, most people who practice martial arts have a heartfelt awe and respect, and Fu Xie is no exception.

Although he studied in Luoyang for many years when he was young, he still had the enthusiasm to go into battle and kill the enemy in his bones. Looking at Lu Bu, Fu Xie's eyes were shining, and he sincerely admired: "General Lu's brave and heroic appearance on the battlefield, even if Fu has only seen it once, it is enough to make a certain life unforgettable. ”

After a brief greeting, Gai Xun returned to the topic and asked about the robbery of grain and grass.

Bang!

The sandbag-sized fist slammed into the bed, Fu Xie's face was resentful, and he gritted his teeth a little hideously.

On that day, they walked to the Panzuka Mountain, because the mountain road was relatively steep, rugged and difficult to walk, and after walking for half a day, the soldiers were tired. Fu Xie ordered a temporary rest, but in this moment of rest, tens of thousands of rebels suddenly came out from all around, directly catching them off guard.

The rebels' intentions are obvious, and they clearly want to cut off the grain and cut off the road.

And Fu Xie has an upright temperament, and he is not a soft shrimp egg, so he immediately called his soldiers and fought with the rebels to the end.

Under the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy, Fu Xie asked people to break through and report the news, after all, the distance between Panzuka Mountain and Hanyang County is not far away.

It's a pity that the reinforcements are still a step late.

Fu Xie couldn't understand how the rebels could know the time and route of the escort of grain and grass. He was cautious along the way, sending scouts to explore the way almost the entire time, only to be caught off guard by the rebels.

The grain and grass baggage is a matter of military secrets, and only Gai Xun Zhang Wen and Sun Jian, the chief grain and grass officer, know the route of this trip. If there is really a spy, then the biggest suspicion should be on Sun Jian.

However, this is only a temporary speculation, and before there is conclusive evidence, Gai Xun will not categorically frame Sun Jian as the inner room hidden in the army.

Before leaving, Gai Xun comforted Fu Xie with kind words, signaling that he didn't have to blame himself too much. This matter is not his responsibility, he can face a strong enemy without retreating half a point, dare to fight to the death, he has fulfilled his duty as a soldier.

A few days later, Zhang Wencha, who was stationed in Chencang, sent a letter. The letter mentioned that not only the grain and grass transported to Hanyang were looted, but the other two routes did not escape their fate, and the rebels knew their movements very well.

When this matter reached Luoyang, the government and the opposition were extremely shaken. In the edict issued, the Son of Heaven not only severely reprimanded Zhang Wen for his incompetence, but also told him to deal with this rebel army before the end of the year, otherwise he would wait for his resignation and return to his hometown to farm.

Looking at the Zhaozhi in his hand, Zhang Wen had a big head. It would take at least two or three months to reraise so much grain and grass, and now the grain and grass in Hanyang City are only enough for half a month.

If you let the army come back first, and then enter Liangzhou to fight, I don't know what year and month it will be delayed. His Majesty only gave him half a year, and Zhang Wen could only make a desperate bet.

He asked Gaixun to stabilize Hanyang, and he would raise military rations as quickly as possible.

After reading the letter, Gai Xun sighed heavily in the seat of the county guard.

The imperial court asked them to deal with the rebels within half a year, which was said lightly, but how could it be so easy. According to his estimates, in two or three years, this rebellion could not be suppressed at all.

That's the reason, but then again, who dares to bargain with the Son of Heaven?

Liu Hong is anxious for quick success, and if you arrange the next thing, you will definitely take a credit, and if you can't get it, I will replace you. In the entire Han Dynasty, can't you find a person who quells the rebellion?
