Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

At the center of the army, Yang Feng looked at the corpses of soldiers piled up under the city wall. The confident smile on his face gradually faded, and was replaced by a slowly furrowed brow. Jinyang City was more difficult to capture than he had imagined!

"General, our stormy attack is unsuccessful. The casualties in the vanguard are too great, and many soldiers are showing signs of cowardice. I think we should retreat for now and think of another way." A general who was commanding the attack on the city at the front line ran over and asked for instructions, sweating profusely.

Yang Feng shook his head. "We've already lost so many lives today. If we retreat, our efforts will be in vain. Pass the order down. After the vanguard breaks through the city, they must loot for half an hour. All the stolen money will be theirs."

Jinyang was a wealthy city, and the loot they robbed in half an hour was so great that they would not even be able to fit it all on their bodies. With Yang Feng's generous reward, the morale of the attacking soldiers suddenly rose, and they rushed to the city gates and the top of the city walls in waves without caring about their lives.

Just as they were about to break the city, a soldier came running from the rear, "General, Zhang Feiyan's troops from Black Mountain are coming this way!"

"Zhang Yan?"

Yang Fengshu's brow furrowed again, "What is he doing here? Is he trying to get a piece of the pie?"

The soldier shook his head blankly.

Yang Feng said to his deputy general, "You continue to command the siege, I'll go and take a look."

Yang Feng rode his horse to the rear camp and saw from a distance a team lined up neatly behind them. At the head of the team was a big bearded man holding a big knife and shouting.

"Where is the person in charge? Tell him to come see me immediately. If he's late, don't blame me for being rude!"

Yang Feng was displeased by the visitor's arrogant attitude, but now was the critical moment to break the city, and he couldn't make enemies with Zhang Yan. He patiently bowed and said, "I am General Bai Bo. What can I do for you, sir?"

Li Gui snorted coldly, "Didn't you inquire before attacking Jinyang? This is my territory, Feiyan, and you're actually trying to get your hands on it, taking advantage of the fact that my Black Mountain soldiers are not brave enough? Don't you think your swords are weak?"

"When did Jinyang become Zhang Feiyan's territory?" Yang Feng was surprised, and quickly glanced at the top of Jinyang City. A big "Han" character with black characters on a red background was fluttering in the wind. It was undoubtedly the flag of the Han Dynasty.

Li Gui bowed towards the south and said righteously, "I, Heishan Zhang Feiyan, was personally appointed by Your Majesty as the General of the Central Army to pacify rebellions in my early years. What is pacifying rebellions? It means pacifying the troubles of the world. A few days ago, my Heishan tribesmen went out to help the officers and soldiers drive out the Hu people. Haven't you heard about it?"

The Baibo Army revolted in Hedong, close to Bingzhou's Shangjun and Xihejun. Naturally, they knew about Heishan's recent frequent trips to the border. Was it to help the imperial court expel the Hu people? When did Zhang Yan become so great? Yang Feng was increasingly astonished.

Li Gui continued, "We are all bandits. Zhang Feiyan does not want to make things difficult for us. You can attack other places on your own. However, Jinyang has long been under the control of Black Mountain. If you attack it, you will be attacking Black Mountain. It means you are not taking the General Pingnan seriously."

One moment he was the General of the Central Army, the next moment everyone was a thief. Was Zhang Yan an official or a thief? Yang Feng silently complained.

"My lord has always emphasized the importance of using courtesy before force. I have already told you the truth. If you still want to attack Jinyang, then the General of the Central Army will have to take the responsibility of suppressing the rebellion."

Yang Feng hummed, "You usually enjoy fighting with the officers and soldiers, but now you think of your responsibility to quell the rebellion?"

Seeing that Yang Feng still hadn't expressed his stance, Li Gui looked at the city wall that was about to collapse from afar and shouted, "Are you going to stop or not?"

Behind him, the Golden Eagle Guards and hundreds of Jinyang troops drew their weapons, ready to fight if Yang Feng dared to say no.

Yang Feng frowned as he looked at the aggressive Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan was both an official and a thief, and he always kept his word. If he was angered for a city, it was not impossible for him to turn around and join forces with the officers and soldiers to suppress them.

The Baibo Army was just starting out, with only a few hundred thousand men and women combined. How could they possibly defeat the Black Mountain army of a million? Furthermore, there was a group of powerful troops outside Jinyang City. If a fight really broke out, these people would probably be buried under the city walls.

Yang Feng was still hesitating when he saw another rider galloping up from behind. The rider shouted from a distance, "General, this is bad. This is terrible. General Xu has been kidnapped by the people in the mound."

Yang Feng was shocked, "Why were you kidnapped?"

He had just received a message from Xu Huang this morning saying that a roadblock had been set up. How come he was kidnapped again in just half a day?

The soldier ran up, panting, "That mound guy was too cunning. He challenged General Xu to a duel under the guise of a duel. General Xu fought the brute for nearly a hundred rounds, but was ultimately defeated. He was about to retreat, but two more surrounded him. With three against one, he was captured alive."

When Yang Feng heard this, the muscles on his cheeks twitched violently. Without Xu Huang, a powerful general, those troops would definitely rush out to cause trouble again. In addition, there was Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army. If he did not withdraw his troops, not only would he fail to take Jinyang, but he would also offend Zhang Yan. Even though he was unwilling to do so, after weighing the pros and cons again and again, Yang Feng still chose to withdraw his troops.

Yang Feng originally wanted to lead his troops to the Tulou to rescue Xu Huang, but after trying to attack for a day, he failed to capture it despite suffering hundreds of casualties. He did not want to cause more casualties here, so he had to lead his troops to withdraw from Jinyang.

Zhang Mo took advantage of the power of others and used Zhang Yan's name to scare away the Baibo bandits. She was not afraid of Zhang Yan's pursuit afterwards. After all, her people in Juyi Village were Zhang Yan's own people. She had just sent him so many cattle, sheep and horses some time ago. It was impossible for Zhang Yan to make things difficult for his own people for outsiders.

With Jinyang under the name of Zhang Yan, Bai Bo no longer dared to attack, and Zhang Mo was finally able to free up her hands.

The purpose of this decision to fight against the Huns was not to plunder, but just to practice and let these bandits fulfill their duties as Han soldiers in advance.

This battle may not bring much benefit, but there will definitely be casualties.

In order to prevent everyone in the village from being unwilling to fight, Zhang Mo wanted to hold a mobilization meeting to motivate them. However, she didn't expect that the moth bandits had already started clamoring as soon as the notice was issued.

"Count me in if you want to kill the Hu people!" This was a Han slave rescued from the Xianbei.

"The Hu people look scary, but they are actually far inferior to us Golden Eagle Guard warriors. I still want to go this time." This was a Golden Eagle Guard soldier who came back from a stroll in Xianbei last year.

"I didn't make it last time, but I'm going this time no matter what. We can't let you get all the credit." This was another Golden Eagle Guard soldier.

"I am worthless and have survived until now thanks to Amo. Killing the Hu people is nothing. Even if you ask me to rebel again, I will go to Luoyang without saying a word." This is the old thief who came from Qingzhou.

"We are the only ones who can rob the Han people of their possessions. When will it be the turn of the barbarians to come here and act recklessly?"

The pre-war mobilization went smoothly. Zhang Mo first sent out several scouts to investigate the enemy's situation and planned a general marching route. Once the troops and food supplies were ready, they could set out. However, to avoid misunderstandings with the officers and soldiers, he had to first inform Zhang Liao and, ideally, request a Han army flag to display.

However, before Juyizhai could send out troops, news came that Bingzhou Governor Zhang Yi had died in battle.

Ever since Xing Ji died in battle, Zhang Mo had expected that Zhang Yi would also die. She was not too surprised this time. She was now worried that without the powerful Lu Bu, Juyi Village and Zhang Liao would not be able to defeat tens of thousands of Hu people. After all, Zhang Liao was still a young man at that time and could not compare with Zhang Babai who was so powerful in Xiaoyaojin.

I wonder what Lu Bu is doing right now? Can he come back and provide some support when he has time?
