Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

"The presence of the General of Chariots and Cavalry and the General of Guards is truly a great honor to my humble home!"

At the Han Mansion in Yong County, Han Sui walked into the hall from outside, looking at the slightly embarrassed Li Su and Li Jue, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

These two men were short-sighted, bad at business, greedy, cruel and ruthless. He had long seen that they would not be able to accomplish anything great. Sure enough, in just three or four years, not only did they make the people in Guanzhong area live in misery, but they even killed His Majesty. Now he is really like a stray dog ​​with nowhere to go.

"Han Wenyou, stop being so sarcastic here. The two of us are down and out, and you're not much better off." Li Su walked to a seat aside, sat down cross-legged, and snorted coldly.

Han Sui walked to the head of the group, hands behind his back, lifted his robe, and slowly knelt down, laughing. "Shou Cheng (Ma Teng) and I have over a hundred thousand soldiers and horses under our command, and we have Liang Province as our backing. We have plenty of food and clothing. How can we not be doing well?"

Li Su asked, "Do you still remember Li Wenhou?"

When Han Sui heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly. After the Liangzhou rebels Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang were killed by Lu Bu, he gathered the remnants of the two and became more and more powerful. He no longer wanted to be restricted by Li Wenhou. Later, he invited Li Wenhou to his home, killed him by surprise, and annexed Li Wenhou's subordinates, so that he could become one of the most powerful figures in Liangzhou.

Seeing Han Sui reminiscing about the past, Li Su continued, "Li Li, a trusted general of Marquis Li Wen, led over 800 of his closest followers to join Prime Minister Dong. Later, Prime Minister Dong gave these people to Lü Bu. Li Li is now a prominent figure in Bingzhou, and he will return to seek revenge on you sooner or later."

"And then there's Lü Bu. Back then, he and I were like brothers, and I know his affairs all too well. Back when he was still serving under Prime Minister Dong, he already asked Jia Wenhe for a plan to pacify Liang Province. He's winning over Liang Province people like Jia Xu, Duan Wei, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong, and even Qu Yi, all in preparation for a future military campaign against Liang Province. Once he takes Ji Province, your Liang Province will be next. Do you think you and Ma Shoucheng can defeat Lü Bu?"

The reason why Li Su came to Han Sui first was because he knew a lot about Lu Bu. Not many people knew that Li Li wanted to seek revenge on Han Sui, but he knew it. As for whether Lu Bu would seize Liangzhou next, he was talking nonsense. Anyway, judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time before Lu Bu took Liangzhou.

After hearing this, Han Sui no longer had a smile on his face. He didn't take Li Li, that little guy, seriously. The main reason was that if Lu Bu really wanted to seize Liang Province next, then his and Ma Teng's plan to send troops to Guandong would not succeed.

Since learning of Liu Xie's unexpected death, Han Sui and Ma Teng's already restless hearts became even more restless. They were not willing to have only the impoverished Liang Province, and also wanted to take Guanzhong, send troops to Guandong, and compete for the rich land in the Central Plains. In fact, they had been discussing the matter of sending troops in the past few days.

Their plan was to first take Hongnong County, control Hangu Pass, and then take Hedong County, control Ji Pass and Yong'an County in the north to isolate the Bingzhou army, and then slowly plan to take Henei County, Henan Yin, and even Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

"You came here specifically to tell me all this. What are your plans? Feel free to tell me about it," Han Sui asked.

Li Su said, "Lü Bu is currently fighting in Ji Province, and Yuan Benchu ​​has retreated to Wei County. We are requesting reinforcements from us to harass Hongnong and Hedong counties, forcing Lü Bu to fight on both fronts and be unable to take care of both."

Han Sui nodded. Yuan Shao's plan coincided with his own. He then asked, "How many troops does Lü Bu have now? How many troops has he deployed in Jizhou this time?"

"I'm not sure about that, but he surrendered Qu Yi last time, and recently he took in Duan Wei and Zhang Ji. Add to that the Bingzhou, Luoyang, and Xiliang armies, and there should be at least 50,000 or 60,000 of them!"

"We don't have many troops. If Yuan Benchu ​​only defends Wei County, it will be difficult for Lu Bu to capture it. He will definitely need to deploy a lot of troops. Now is indeed the perfect time to take Hongnong and Hedong."

Han Sui then asked Li Su, "Who is guarding these two places now?"

Li Su said, "Gao Shun has always been guarding Hedong County. Li Li was under Gao Shun. Hongnong should still be guarded by Duan Wei and Zhang Ji! I estimate that Hongnong has only 15,000 soldiers at most, and Hedong may have even fewer."

"How many people do you two have?"

"twelve thousand."

"These people were once Lu Bu's subordinates. Are they loyal? Will they turn against us in battle?"

Li Su said, "As long as we can feed them, they won't turn against us!"

"That's good. You two go and settle the soldiers first. I will go to Chencang to find Shoucheng to discuss the issue of sending troops." Han Sui waved his hand.

…………

The autumn wind is blowing and the autumn rain is falling.

Xu Ding was pulling a skinny horse, walking with difficulty on the barren official road. Beside him was a group of people, all of whom were members of the Flying Eagle Team who were responsible for delivering messages in Chang'an. Like Xu Ding, both the horses and the people looked malnourished, and it was obvious that they had been hungry for quite some time.

Although Feiying brought back the news that they were going to evacuate Chang'an three days ago, because the previous connecting city was Anyi County in Hedong, it would take at least seven or eight days for them to receive the news and send people to support them.

"Should we send back the news of the evacuation earlier? We can't even find grass for the horses along the way. There's nothing but dirt and corpses. More people died than in the famine a few years ago. If we hadn't hidden our mounts in the mountains before, we would have starved to death before we even reached Huayin. Alas!" A member of the Flying Eagle Team sighed, holding his empty stomach.

"As long as Li Su and the other two don't leave Chang'an, our work won't be over. How can we send back the news of evacuation as soon as possible?" Captain Zhang Di said.

"What a sin! What a sin! It's raining and there's not even a tree to provide shelter. Once this little bit of grass is gone, all the horses will starve to death." Another person complained, pinching his wet clothes.

Zhang Di said, "No, just hold on for another two or three days, and the support people should be here. Talk less and save your energy on walking."

The captain had spoken, and everyone stopped wasting their energy. They each led their own horse and walked with difficulty on the muddy road. Their shoes were already covered with yellow mud, and their wet clothes stuck to their bodies. It was extremely uncomfortable.

After walking for a while, Xu Ding realized that the people around him had not caught up. He stopped, turned around and looked at Cai Yan who was lagging behind, and said, "Madam Cai, get on the horse and I will lead you."

Cai Yan looked up, her eyes falling on the skinny horse. She suspected that if she sat on it, the horse would be crushed, which would be embarrassing. She gritted her teeth and panted slightly, saying, "Sir, I am very grateful to you for taking me on the journey. I can still walk."

Xu Ding handed his horse to another man and walked over to Cai Yan, bowing and saying, "Madam Cai, if you don't mind, I'll help you walk."

Cai Yan was indeed extremely tired, but she didn't try to be brave. She lowered her head a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Thank you very much, sir!"

Xu Ding took her arm and walked with her forward, saying, "The person you should thank is my A-Mo. Oh, that's the wife of Bingzhou Governor Lü Fengxian. She has always been thinking about you. She asked me to go to your house more than once to see if you were divorced. She also told me to take you with me when I left Chang'an. Otherwise, how would I know you?"

"Mrs. Lu?" Cai Yan was slightly surprised. "How did she recognize me?"

Did you know that I would be divorced?

Xu Ding said, "I think your father must have told you."

Although Cai Yan still felt confused, she did not ask any more questions. Thinking that she would see her father soon, she suddenly felt full of strength and her pace quickened.
