Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

As the sky was getting light, everyone in the post house was exhausted after fighting all night. They took turns eating breakfast and resting on the spot.

Seeing that the bandits neither attacked nor retreated, but gathered not far away to eat dry food, Guan Hai frowned, thinking that they would not give up.

What other tricks does the thief have?

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a sentry on the left wall shout, "The thieves are coming with the stakes."

Following the direction of the sentry's finger, in the distant wilderness, dozens of thieves were carrying seven or eight pieces of wood about as thick as a man's waist and walking towards this side.

"Why are you lifting the wooden stakes?" Wang Jun asked in confusion.

Guan Hai glanced at the thickness of the wall, his face changed, and he shouted, "Oh no! The thieves are trying to break through the wall to get in."

Wang Yun was immediately panicked. "What should I do?"

"The yard is small. If a large number of enemies rush in, it will be difficult for us to escape if we gather here. Now we have no choice but to break out separately. The head of the family and the young master will go first. I will lead the guards to hold back the thieves. You all will be safe as long as you run to Nie County." Guan Hai said.

"Is this possible? We only have a dozen horses, but the bandits have hundreds of them. I'm afraid we can't stop them." Wang Jun's face was pale. He could still resist by defending the post station, but if he went out to fight the enemy, he would definitely die.

Guan Hai said in a deep voice, "If we rush out, we can still survive, but if we hide here, we will die."

Wang Yun's face turned ugly. If they didn't rush out, they would have nowhere to escape when the thieves broke through the wall. Although Xu Chu and Guan Hai were brave, they were no match for four people. He didn't have much hope for the Wang family's troops.

But rushing out may not guarantee escape. There are more than hundreds of thieves, and it is impossible to stop them with such a small number of troops.

Looking at his three sons beside him, Wang Yun slowly calmed down. He was already very old, and now he had offended the Ten Attendants and was disliked by the emperor. He was afraid that he would never have the chance to serve as an official again in this life. But his three sons were still young, and they still had a chance, and they must not die here.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Since Peng Tuo has come for revenge, I will lead my troops to take the left path."

As he spoke, he solemnly bowed to Guan Hai, Xu Chu, and the others, "I entrust my three sons and one daughter to you. Please protect them and take them to the right. The bandits are chasing me, and you should be able to escape."

Three sons and one daughter! In the critical moment, Wang Yun did not forget her. Zhang Mo was deeply moved. After ending his political career, did he already treat her as his daughter?

"Father, no!"

As soon as Wang Yun finished speaking, Wang Gai shouted, "If father died saving us, how can I live with the dignity of a son? As the eldest brother, I will lead the villains away." As he said this, he was about to go and get the horse.

Wang Yun held him back, his tone slightly angry, "You don't listen to your father's words?"

"Forgive me for being unfilial..."

Wang Yun sighed and said, "Peng Tuo has come to kill my father. Now that it is daybreak, you cannot pretend to be him. Be obedient."

"Even so, the child will follow his father."

Wang Gai was determined, Wang Jing followed his brother closely, and even Wang Ding, who had always been careless, was determined not to let his father take risks for them.

The father and his sons were still arguing when Guan Hai interrupted them, "Peng Tuo is ruthless and likes to kill entire families. There are so many thieves, so they can just split up and chase them. This method is inappropriate."

"This..." Wang Yun staggered and almost fell. Is it possible that all the members of the Wang family will die here today?

While he was saying these words, the bandits were already approaching. Through the open gate, one could see that the bandits carrying the wooden stakes were only a few hundred steps away, and behind and on both sides, hundreds of riders were ready to rush in and crush the people inside at any time.

Looking at the gleaming blades of the thieves, Zhang Mo could only grab the corners of her clothes tightly to prevent her hands from shaking.

With so many thieves, it would be impossible for Xu Chu and his men to break out easily. She didn't want to die, and she couldn't let her adoptive father die. What else could she do? What else could she do? She took two deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

Peng Tuo's subordinates were either killed or surrendered in Pingyu. He had just escaped from Luoyang. In that era, there were no telephones or mobile phones. How could he have gathered so many bandit troops to take revenge?

Considering that the thieves only listened to the leader last night, it is not difficult to guess that Peng Tuo must have attached himself to a certain mountain stronghold in Taihang and tricked them into killing people and stealing their property.

Kill people and steal their money?

Zhang Mo's mind moved, and she said hurriedly: "Foster father, I have a way to escape."

"What's the solution? Tell me quickly." Wang Yun's somewhat desperate eyes lit up and he looked at her excitedly. He inexplicably believed that this daughter with so many clever ideas might really be able to save the lives of the whole family.

Zhang Mo said, "Peng Tuo is out for revenge, but the other thieves are after money. They can be tempted with money..."

Wang Yun, who had thought it was a good plan, said with disappointment, "Even if they kill us, they can still get all the treasures here. This method won't work."

Zhang Mo said anxiously, "Listen to me, we can take our gold and silver jewelry and silk clothes with us as we flee. We can throw them away as we run. Which of the pursuing thieves will be able to resist dismounting to pick them up?"

Steward Wang praised, "Excellent! This method is very clever! As long as one person picks it up, the others will follow suit, and we can escape."

However, this method can only ensure that those who have horses can escape, and others may still not be able to escape.

Wang Yun said to his followers, "You will hold out for a while. If you die in battle, I will treat your families well. I will never break my promise."

Although everyone was afraid, they had no choice. If they did not obey, their family in Jinyang would not survive. It was worth it to sacrifice their own life in exchange for their family's worry-free food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

There were only fifteen horses in total for this trip. The four members of the Wang family plus the housekeeper Wang took up five horses. In addition, the two brothers Xu Chu, Guan Hai, Du Fei, and Wang Jun each had one horse. Five guards with good skills were also selected to follow, and the others were left behind.

Everyone packed their belongings. Guan Hai had just carried Zhang Mo onto the horse when the dancer and the maidservant, Meixiang, rushed forward, crying, "Madam Zhang, what should I do?"

The actor burst into tears, "My lady, please don't leave us..."

What should I do? Zhang Mo was in a dilemma. She had no other choice. Wang Yun and his men were trying to escape, so they would definitely not take one more person with them. In their eyes, the lives of their servants were not even as valuable as a piece of silk.

These two men will not be in danger of their lives if they stay, but if they fall into the hands of the thieves, their fate will be more painful than death.

After all, Zhang Mo couldn't treat human life as worthless, and these two people had served her for more than half a year, so she had some feelings for them.

"Godfather, can you take them with you?"

Wang Yun asked, "They are just two maids, what are they doing with them?"

"Foster father, take them with you first. If it really doesn't work, you can put them down halfway. They can also find shelter in the wild grass."

Looking at Zhang Mo's pleading eyes, Wang Yun waved his hand in agreement. The Xu Chu brothers and Du Fei guarded him and rode out first, followed closely by Steward Wang and others.

The two Wang family soldiers each picked up one and ran out, but Guan Hai was the last to come out.

When the thief saw the people in the post station running out by themselves, he rode his horse to chase after them. The two sides were not far apart, and in an instant they started fighting with Xu Chu and others.

Xu Chu swung his sword left and right, knocking down the thieves who blocked his way one by one like chopping melons. Wang Yun and his sons, protected by Wang Jun and others, quickly escaped from the battle circle.

Guan Hai protected Zhang Mo in front of him with one hand and swung his sword with the other. The sword danced in his hand tightly and was full of murderous aura. In a short while, he had knocked down seven or eight people.

Zhang Mo picked up a bag and threw all the money inside at the thief. As she did so, she sighed that in her two lifetimes, she never thought that there would be a day when she would be able to throw money at people!

Wang Yun and his companions who rushed out first scattered money as they ran. When the thieves saw the glittering things on the ground, they could no longer run and got off their horses to pick them up.

Peng Tuo was so angry that he shouted, "Kill people first, kill people, and then come back to pick up the things after you're done."

But no one paid any attention to him. If he didn't pick up the money now, someone else would surely pick it up later. Besides, they had no grudge against Wang Yun, and those guards were very fierce. Would they just leave the money there and chase after it and get themselves killed?

But... Wang Yun and others scattered the money a little too early, and everyone else ran to the front. Guan Hai, who came out last, was blocked by the thief who picked up the money. Peng Tuo recognized him and secretly hated him for helping Wang Yun to go against him, so he drew his knife and rushed towards Guan Hai.

The bandit leader was the boss after all, and although he coveted the money on the ground, he did not lower his status to join his men in robbing it. Seeing Guan Hai lagging behind, and the beautiful young lady he was protecting, his thief nature took over, and he waved his two hammers to call out to his men, "Er Gou, Ma Zi, don't pick it up yet. Bring your men and kill me, and take that young lady away to be my wife."

Ergou took a moment to glance at Zhang Mo and curled his lips: "Boss, that's a bit too small!"

The thief leader stared at Zhang Mo closely and laughed obscenely, "I have never seen such a beautiful woman before. Even though she is a little young, it is not impossible to sleep with her."

He urged, "Hurry up, as long as you grab her, I will make them give you ten cents each later." He pointed at the people who were picking up the money.

"Okay!" Ergou and Mazi responded happily and called on their men to follow and kill.

Over there, Peng Tuo and Guan Hai had been fighting for more than ten rounds. Although Guan Hai was protecting Zhang Mo, his martial arts skills were much better than Peng Tuo's. Before the bandit leader could rush over, Peng Tuo was caught off guard and was killed by Guan Hai with a single blow.

The way forward was blocked and the thieves were chasing them again, so Guan Hai had no choice but to run in the opposite direction with Zhang Mo.
