Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 A Roasted Rabbit

Liu He asked, "I heard that there are more than a hundred thousand bandits attacking the eldest son in Heishan. How easy is it?"

Chang Lin smiled and said: "The general is far away, so he doesn't know anything. Although the Black Mountain bandits have besieged the eldest son for more than a month, they have not captured yet."

"Oh?" Liu He was a little surprised, "Is the eldest son city an iron wall?"

Chang Linyan said: "The eldest son's terrain is extremely high, and it is difficult to attack from a condescending position. In addition, there is one person in this city who is very good at defending. As long as there is enough food and grass in the city, even a million black bandits will be helpless."

Liu He hurriedly asked: "I don't know who is guarding the city?"

Chang Lin stroked his beard and said: "This man is from Taiyuan. His surname is Hao, his name is Zhao, and his style name is Bodao. He is a majestic man. He joined the army as a young man and served as the captain of the Shangdang tribe. After Zhang Yang left, he was the eldest son who stayed behind..."

"It turned out to be him!" Liu He's heart was shocked, he didn't expect to meet Hao Zhao so soon.

This is the most defensive general in the Three Kingdoms period, comparable to Cao Ren and Wenpin, and may even be stronger.

Hao Zhao guarded Chencang with thousands of people, blocking Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops, which directly affected the second Northern Expedition.

At that time, Zhuge Liang's Shu army must have been fully equipped with siege equipment, and they were all elite soldiers, and they couldn't attack Chencang, let alone the black mountain bandits attacking a strong city like the eldest son.

Hearing the word Hao Zhao, Liu He was motivated to march again, and sighed: "With such a loyal and brave general, how can I just sit idly by? Let's kill Fajiushan in one go and save the people of Shangdang from danger. among."

Chang Lin praised: "The general is really a generous man. I hate that I don't know the art of war and help the army. After taking down the eldest son, I will definitely go to the city. I am willing to listen to the general's orders and do my best for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Liu He was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "In this way, I will wait for the good news with my eldest son."

Chang Lin nodded and said: "If you get the right way, you will get help. The general will raise troops loyally for the Han Dynasty. If you fight against rebellion with obedience, you will be able to win the flag. I will go back and make preparations. I will transfer all the blind dates in the mountains to the eldest son."

Liu He said with a smile: "It couldn't be better. Mr. You Lao preached a lot. As long as the people are relocated, I will distribute the land, subsidize food, farm tools, animal power, etc., and exempt from taxes depending on the situation."

Chang Lin bowed and clasped his fists and said: "I heard that the general and his son are doing benevolent policies in Youzhou. When I saw you today, they really deserve their reputation. I will do my best."

Liu He thanked him again, seeing that it was getting late, Chang Lin left.

The soldiers are holding a bowl of fish soup and two hard cakes, which is today's dinner.

While eating, Liu He was thinking about what Chang Lin just said. After crossing the Qinhe River, he never saw the Black Mountain Army again. It seems that Yang Feng saw that the interception in batches was not his opponent, and he was going to shrink his troops for a decisive battle. Lugu Mountain would be the last On the battlefield, success or failure depends on it.

Zhang Fei gnawed at the wild fruit and said: "General, we have no food in the army now. After eating this meal, we must march quickly and kill Fajiu Mountain."

Liu He nodded and said: "Mr. Chang said just now that Yang Feng deployed troops on Lugu Mountain, ready to fight to the death. As long as we defeat Yang Feng, we can enter the territory of the eldest son. I have ordered Xu Rong to take the Xuan family first. There is food."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said, "In this way, we are fighting with our backs, and we will surely inspire the fighting spirit of the three armies. By tomorrow, I, Old Zhang, will take the lead."

Liu He nodded slightly, and ordered the soldiers to rest for three hours, get up at three o'clock to get ready, and set off for Fajitoyama.

The night was getting darker, the tired soldiers had already fallen asleep, and there was a faint sound of snoring. The whole army had not been disarmed for three days, and they only ate some dry food and water for two days. Except for today's fish soup, there was no meat to replenish their strength. , basically reached the limit.

There was no luggage in the army, and they all lay on the ground. Liu He was also very sleepy, leaning on a rock and falling asleep in a daze.

Unknowingly, I smelled a delicious smell of barbecue, and dreamed of the scene of barbecue in the garden of the Hou Mansion, the fiery red charcoal stove, the large pork chops and lamb chops, Lu Yue and Zhen Dao were extremely busy.

Faintly hearing someone calling around him, Liu He opened his eyes and saw that Dian Wei was standing in front of him, holding a piece of barbecue in his hand, and said with a smile: "General, I just killed a hare in the mountains, you should eat some first!"

Liu He sat up abruptly, grabbed the roasted rabbit, and just opened his mouth when he saw Dian Wei swallowing his saliva, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and asked, "Is there only one rabbit?"

Dian Wei licked his lips and said with a smile: "Those thieves have already caught all the wild game in the mountains. Three of them were caught in one afternoon, and two were eaten by the weak and injured soldiers. This one is for you."

Liu He frowned slightly, and said, "I just ate fish, and even if I'm not full, I'm full. Let's save this meat for those weak soldiers!"

Dian Wei said anxiously: "General, this is for you, eat it quickly."

But Liu He shook his head, stood up and walked towards a bonfire by the lake. There were more than a dozen people around there, all of whom were weak and injured soldiers.

When the soldiers saw Liu He approaching, they hurriedly got up. Liu He motioned for everyone to sit down and asked, "Who is the most injured?"

Everyone looked left and right, but they all shook their heads. Everyone had a stubborn look on their faces, and no one admitted that they were seriously injured.

Liu He saw a young boy with an immature complexion under the firelight, and asked, "How old are you?"

The soldier looked a little shy, lowered his head and replied, "19 years old."

"Oh? It's comparable to me!" Liu He sat down cross-legged and smiled, "What's your name? Where did you get hurt?"

"Subordinate Yang Jun," the soldier replied, and suddenly said quickly: "General, I am not seriously injured, but my calf is scratched, and I can still go into battle, really!"

These soldiers are not only one in a thousand, but also warriors in a thousand. They are generally veterans with high martial arts skills and rich combat experience, and most of them are around [-]. Liu He did not expect such a young man.

He looked at the young man carefully and asked, "Why did you join the army at such a young age?"

Yang Jun pursed his lips, and when he saw Liu He's kind eyes, he replied loudly: "General, my subordinate is Chen Liuren, and my father was a county magistrate, but was killed by ten permanent servants, so he went north to avoid chaos. He joined the army in Zhuo County a few years ago."

Liu He nodded, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, so you are not old, but you are a veteran! This rabbit will be rewarded to you, so you can replenish your strength. We will kill you in a battle tomorrow." Defeat the black bandit."

"General, this, this, this... this can't be done, can't be done!"

Yang Jun was so flattered that he fell to his knees in a panic and waved his hands repeatedly.

The soldiers were fishing and hunting just now, and they all knew that apart from catching some fish, the wild animals in the nearby mountains were frightened away.

They ate two rabbits just now, and it is said that there are three in total. This one is obviously reserved for Liu He, how dare he want it?
The person next to him also hurriedly said: "General, we have eaten two of them just now, which is enough to replenish our strength. This one should be eaten by the general!"

"I ate two fish just now, and I'm full!" Liu He stood up, pulled Yang Jun up, handed the rabbit to him, and said, "Eat one rabbit leg, and share the rest with everyone." Well, this is an order!"

"Follow... obey!" Yang Jun was stunned, and took the rabbit with trembling hands.

Liu He clapped his hands, then turned and left, Yang Jun was holding the roasted rabbit, and suddenly choked up.
