Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 295
At this time in Hezhang Village, Yu Du was waiting anxiously with [-] elite soldiers. Seeing that it was evening, the vehicles of the officers and soldiers had not arrived, and the soldiers were so hungry that they smashed ice cubes by the river to satisfy their hunger.

After being defeated by Liu He, Yu Du led the crowd back to Longli Mountain. Because of his haste, many food, grass and supplies in Huguan were too late to be transported away, and this winter was extremely difficult.

Although Bai Rao borrowed some grain and grass for the poison to temporarily use, the consumption of more than 2 horses was extremely high. In addition, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow in winter, and they could not go out to hunt, so the grain and grass became more and more scarce.

The soldiers could only eat one full meal a day, let alone train their troops. In the cold winter months, some soldiers fled overnight despite the wind and cold. More than 2000 people fled within two months, which made the people in the village feel distracted.

The war was about to start in spring. Yu Du saw that all his men were hungry and skinny, with blue faces and no morale at all. How could he attack Wei County?
In desperation, Yu Du came up with a plan. In his and Bai Rao's name, he sent people to Yingtao to ask for food and grass. Han Fu refused to cash in one million dendrobium and asked for [-] to [-] dendrobium to tide over the current difficulties. is allowed.

Sure enough, Han Fu was worried that the previous contact with the Black Mountain Army would be leaked, so he agreed to transfer [-] hu of grain from Weijun first, and the other [-] hu from other places, and shipped them in two batches.

When he found out that officers and soldiers' grain carts had entered the mountain, Yu Du was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately sent an order to the villages that grain would be delivered immediately, telling the brothers to guard the villages with peace of mind and lead troops down the mountain to fetch grain.

When I was getting impatient, the minions in front came to report that the officers and soldiers transported the chariots and horses to another valley in Shilipo, not knowing what happened.

Yu Du was furious, and said in a deep voice, "It must be that Han Fu was dissatisfied when he saw me asking for food, and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of us. I'm afraid there might be an ambush in Shilipo."

A department commander said: "The big bosses must not fall into the trap, their vehicles must be sent to Hezhang."

Yu viciously smashed a stone in his hand on the ice, and said to a close friend beside him, "Go and send a message to the officers and soldiers. If the vehicles are not sent to Hezhang, I will kill them all."

Then I took the order and went straight to the officers and soldiers camp. At this time, Guo Tu was retreating and waiting impatiently on the bank of Zhangshui.

He really didn't expect that those thieves were so stubborn that they wanted to check more than 3000 vehicles one by one, but the hostages were in the hands of the thieves, and they didn't dare to urge them, so they had to wait helplessly.

At this moment, the soldiers told Yu Du to send someone to see him, Guo Tu was about to question him, so he ordered someone to bring him here, and angrily said, "What the hell is Yu Du doing?"

When the man saw the officers and soldiers around him with swords and guns, he was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body. He trembled and said, "My boss, the leader said, you, you must send the vehicle to Hezhang, otherwise... otherwise he, he will kill someone." Already!"

For fear of offending the officers and soldiers, I dared not tell you the exact words of the poisonous password, and became a little more tactful.

"Murder?" Guo Tu frowned slightly, suddenly understood, and said with a sneer, "It turns out that the young master is in the hands of a murderer. They are here to check the grain trucks, deliberately delaying time!"

Han Fu said anxiously: "Sir, let's send the vehicle to Hezhang!"

"No, this is a trick of the thieves!"

Guo Tu looked up at the thieves ambushing on the mountain, and said slowly: "The thieves set up an ambush here. Our army entered the mountain, and the river valley ahead was winding, moving slowly. They cut off our way back here. Annihilated?"

Han Chang hurriedly asked: "Sir, what should we do now?"

Guo Tu thought for a moment, then said with a twist: "You take 200 people to send Zhang Jiao's bones to Hezhang. Yu Du saw that I saw through the trick and got the bones again. They will let them go."

Han Chang was about to go, when Guo Tu said again: "It's getting late, we are in danger here, you don't have to go back the same way after picking up Mr. Han, there is a small road leading to Lin County in the east of Hezhang, you guys You can escape from now on, and I will send someone to respond."

Han Chang led the way, took out the car carrying Zhang Jiao's bones from behind, and quickly transported them along the river valley to Hezhang.

After Han Chang left, Guo Tu sent someone to immediately send a letter to the county magistrate of Lin County, asking him to send someone to the mountain to meet him.

The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and it gets dark even earlier in the mountains. Seeing the ambushes on the mountain, Guo Tu felt more and more uneasy. Seeing the thieves still checking the vehicles, he was worried that they were deliberately delaying or tricking, so he immediately sent an order to withdraw the troops.

At this moment, Guan Hai was inspecting the grain carts in front of him, and almost halfway through the inspection, he saw that there were grains inside, but no bones were found.

Just sent someone to ask questions, but saw that the officers and soldiers suddenly formed a team and retreated on the way back and forth, and the vehicles and hostages were ignored.

Guan Hai was greatly surprised, and immediately rushed to the bank of the river, pointed at Guo Tu and asked loudly, "Dog officers and soldiers, how dare you lie to us?"

Guo Tulian laughed loudly and said, "I've already seen through such a shallow plan! The vehicles are all real. If you check slowly, I won't accompany you, hahaha!"

Guan Hai was taken aback, and asked, "That man...don't you want to save face?"

I wanted to talk about hostages, but thinking of Zhang Ning saying that he wanted to save Han Fu's face, he had to change it to a green forest cut.

"What fan? Burn it!" Guo Tu frowned slightly, seeing the shock and astonishment on Guan Hai's face, thinking he had seen through the thief's scheme, he cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Farewell——"

In a blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers walked away cleanly, leaving only clusters of grain carts piled up in the valley. Guan Hai stood by the river for a long time and couldn't react.

Zhang Ning brought He Man and others down the mountain. He couldn't understand why the officers and soldiers didn't want hostages, but sent so many vehicles for nothing. What's the use of carrying so much food?

Zhang Ning immediately said: "Quick, check all the vehicles!"

Guan Hai and He Man called everyone to act together, and cut open all the grain trucks with knives, but none of them contained bones, they were all stunned, and Zhang Ning even fell to the ground, his face pale.

"You Han Fu, how dare you play tricks on us!" Guan Hai gritted his teeth and roared: "Burn all this food for me."

He Man asked, "What about the hostages?"

"Burn it together!" Guan Hai looked grim, "Since Han Fu asked so, we will fulfill him."

These grains are a life-saving item for Du, but for these dozen or so people, they are cumbersome and useless.

The enraged thieves were furious. They immediately collected dead wood and grass leaves from the mountains, and set fire to all the food and grass in the vehicles. The night wind in the valley was strong, and soon the fire spread and thick smoke billowed.

Guan Hai ordered his men to catch Young Master Han in front of him, and said with a fierce smile: "Boy, don't blame us for being cruel. It's your inhumane old man who asked someone to leave a message before he left, asking us to burn you."

"No, no...you can't kill me!" Mr. Han yelled out of fear.

"We didn't want to kill you, but we don't want to disobey Governor Han's orders." Guan Hai lifted Mr. Han high and threw him into the sea of ​​flames, shouting: "If you want to take your life, go to Han Fu!"

There was a shrill scream from the fireworks, which soon disappeared.

The entire valley was filled with thick smoke, and the ferocious faces of several people were reflected by the raging fire, with long shadows constantly swaying behind them.
