Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Although Zhang Yan is the big brother of Taihang Mountain, he usually does not interfere in the private affairs of each tribe. Everyone is nominally a Black Mountain bandit, and usually they all do their own thing. Only when they need to go out to do big things will they send an envoy to notify them, and usually they will leave after doing the job.

Li Gui was still the commander of Juyi Village at the moment. After receiving the report, he hurried out to meet them. Zhang Mo put on a black face and followed behind as a follower.

Before reaching the gate, the soldier guarding the gate had already led two men in. One of them was slightly taller and had a full beard, while the other had a particularly stylish mustache under his nose.

The man with the mustache asked, "Li Gui, your group has made a fortune recently. You've even built a wall at the entrance of the valley? That must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Gui clasped his fists and bowed, "It was all built by the people in the village themselves. It just took a little time, but it didn't cost much."

As the two of them walked in, they saw a row of newly built houses on the right side of the valley. The bearded man couldn't help but ask, "Are you kidnapping innocent people again?"

Li Gui laughed and said, "I went out to do a couple of business and brought some people back."

The man with the mustache pointed at the vast fields before him and said, "You've reclaimed so much wasteland. Is that enough for the whole village to eat?"

More than enough to eat, there was a bumper harvest in the first quarter of this year. A rough calculation shows that there will be a surplus by next autumn. After the wheat is harvested, Amo asked him to plant another season of beans and various vegetables. Fruit trees and mulberry trees are also planted at the foot of the mountain. I believe there will be a harvest in two years. There are also paper mills, printing houses, and livestock farms. There is nothing Amo can't do, except what he can't think of. Since he took refuge with her, every day has been like New Year's Day.

Li Gui thought so in his heart, but he dared not say the truth. He just said: "The land is thin, how can it be possible? I still need to go out and work."

The man with the mustache nodded. Li Gui wanted to invite the two of them in to sit down, but the man with the mustache refused, saying, "No need. Let's finish our business and leave. Let's go to the next place while it's still early."

"Zhang Ping has any instructions?"

It is said that after Zhang Yan occupied Taihang, he had gathered a million people. His bandits were scattered all over Taihang, and the court was unable to encircle and suppress them. This year, Zhang Yan requested to surrender to the court, and Emperor Lingdi appointed him as the General of the Central Army to Pacify the Nan, hence the name Zhang Pingnan.

Although Zhang Yan was an official in the imperial court, it did not prevent him from conquering the Han counties. This man was both an official and a bandit, which was rare in the world.

Several people walked slowly along the middle riverbank. The bearded man said, "Bingzhou has been in turmoil in recent years, leaving much farmland abandoned. Zhang Ping is reluctant to cause further trouble, but Jizhou is different. According to spies, after Huangfu Song suppressed the Yellow Turbans and was appointed governor of Jizhou, he petitioned to exempt Jizhou's land rent for one year to support the hungry people."

"The people sang a song saying, 'The world is in chaos, the market is a wasteland, mothers cannot protect their children, wives have lost their husbands, but thanks to Huangfu, we can live in peace again.' It shows that Jizhou has recovered well. Now that the autumn harvest is over, we want to go to Jizhou and take two cities."

Li Gui had been chased and killed by Huangfu Song at the beginning of the uprising. Now, hearing the title of the Great Killer, his face changed. "With Huangfu Song here, how dare we go to Jizhou to plunder? Isn't that courting death?"

The man with the mustache smiled and said, "Don't worry. Last year, the Liangzhou rebels invaded the Three Prefectures, and the court ordered Huangfu Song to return to Chang'an. He is no longer in Jizhou."

Zhang Mo couldn't help but silently complain about Li Gui. He didn't even know the news from last year. No wonder everyone went to attack Jizhou, but he was still wandering around the ruined land of Bingzhou. He was really lucky to fall into her hands.

Li Gui asked again, "Did Zhang Ping summon all his troops?"

The bearded man said, "We've sent people to inform them. However, the southern tribes are closer to the Hanoi tribes, so the journey is too far. If you are not short of food, you don't have to come. The rest of you must respond to the call. You will lead your troops to Shangai and gather within ten days."

Shangai County is located in the Taihang Mountains. It was attacked by the Black Mountain Army a year ago and became a den of bandits. Zhang Yan's general Wang Dang led his troops to garrison there.

The two men brought the news and did not stay any longer. They said goodbye to Li Gui and went elsewhere.

Zhang Mo asked in confusion, "Why didn't Envoy Zhang Yan mention how many troops we should send?"

Li Gui said, "The number of young and strong men I recently reported is 1,000, and the old and weak 2,200. Zhang Yan stipulated that if there is a dispatch, each unit must send at least half of its young and strong men. More is allowed, not less. The more you send, the more you will get. Now that I have no shortage of food, 500 men will be enough."

Li Gui reported the troops of his own unit. Zhang Mo had only moved in more than a hundred elite troops so far. This number of people could naturally be kept secret from Zhang Yan, but if more were to be added in the future, I'm afraid some of them would have to be reported as well.

Zhang Mo didn't mind this. The elite soldiers were all refugees who had been trained by Lu Bu for a period of time. Their martial arts were decent, but they had no practical combat experience. If Zhang Yan needed them, he could send them to fight in a few battles as a training.

The leader of this expedition is naturally the nominal commander Li Gui. Zhang Mo has sent more than a hundred elite soldiers to follow him to see some blood. The rest of the candidates will be decided by Li Gui himself.

Du Fei was the first one who clamored to go and see the world. Although he had studied for a few years, he had also lived the life of a reckless knight. When he had no food to eat, he had done a lot of robbing and robbery. He had no psychological burden about robbery.

Zhang Mo felt a little guilty about this, but Zhang Yan had given her the order, so she had no choice but to go. Before leaving, she only instructed: "Fight on the battlefield without mercy, but once you enter the city, do not kill at will. There is enough food at home, and you don't have to be the first to charge into the city. Try to minimize casualties."

These people received Zhang Yan's order and of course obeyed his orders when they arrived, but Zhang Yan would also give everyone the freedom to choose beforehand, which was simply that the more effort one puts in, the more share one gets. If after discussion, no one was willing to take the lead, then Zhang Yan would decide, and usually he would send the general of Dafangqu to lose some of their troops.

In Taihang Mountain, Zhang Yan must ensure that his own power far exceeds that of other Fangqu generals, otherwise how can he maintain his position as the big brother?

After Li Gui and Du Fei led the team away, Zhang Mo handed the village to Guan Hai and returned to Jinyang with Xu Chu and several guards.

Besides, Dong Qing had been waiting outside the city for two days without seeing Zhang Mo, so she asked someone to go to the village to inquire, only to find out that Zhang Mo was not in the village. She went back into the city to look for her for two days, but still couldn't find her, so she had to wait outside the village again.

Hua Xiong squatted under a tree beside the road, chewing on some dry food while wondering, "Aren't you here to inquire about Fengxian's past? What do you want to do with that woman named Zhang Mo?"

At this point, Dong Qing no longer concealed the truth and said, "That woman is Fengxian's sweetheart. I want you to help me kill her."

"Kill? Kill her..."

Hua Xiong nearly got a bite of the pancake stuck in his throat. He swallowed it with difficulty, his throat rolling. He said with round eyes, "You killed Fengxian's sweetheart, are you trying to kill yourself?"

He shook his head like a rattle. "I can't do this. I absolutely can't do this. If Fengxian finds out, I'll die a miserable death."

Seeing Hua Xiong's cowardly look, Dong Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Only a few of us know about this. These guards are all my father's confidants. Who dares to leak the news? Look how scared you are."

"Then Hu Wencai knew that I escorted you to Bingzhou, and that my beloved died as soon as we arrived in Fengxian. Do you think he has such a stupid mind that he wouldn't realize this?"

Hua Xiong advised earnestly, "This man really can't be killed. There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. Although Fengxian and I haven't had much contact, I can tell he's extremely protective of his people. If he knew, he wouldn't let it go. Even if he didn't dare touch you for the sake of his lord, he would hate you forever. If you really want to marry him, you absolutely can't do this."

Dong Qing looked annoyed after hearing this. "Then what do you say we should do? He won't marry me even if that girl is here. If I can't get her, she can forget about it either."

Hua Xiong suggested to Dong Qing, "This is easy. Just tell the woman that Fengxian has changed his mind and wants to marry you. Then let her marry someone else."

"That woman is able to be the head of a village. I'm afraid she's not stupid. Can you trust her?"

"That's right! After all, it's just your one-sided statement. Most people probably won't believe it."

Hua Xiong thought for a moment, "If you really want to marry Fengxian, I have a solution, but..."

"Just what? Tell me quickly!" Dong Qing urged.

"You have to promise first that I won't get angry, and you can't tell the Lord and Fengxian that it was my idea."

Dong Qing said impatiently, "I promise, tell me quickly."

"The solution is ..."
