Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 197 Going to Funiu Mountain

Xu Huang directly rejected Li Su's proposal, because he already knew that the strong man was Zhang Fei.

And Zhang Fei must have received orders from the lord Liu Yu to help Zhang Ji, so Xu Huang would not take the initiative to attack Xin'an County.

And he also knew that Li Jue's army would definitely not come too soon. After all, Gong County had a lot of Li Jue's belongings. This time, if he wanted to transfer the entire army to Hongnong City, he would naturally have to take all the copper and iron there. bring it here.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang felt that it was necessary to secretly tell Zhang Fei about this situation, and let him make good use of the half month to make arrangements.

"General Zuo has a strict order, telling me to stick to Hongnong City, and we can wait for General Li to discuss other matters!" Xu Huang said and left on the grounds of inspecting the city defense.

And Li Su had no choice but to sigh helplessly, thinking that it would take half a month for Li Jue's army to enter Hongnong City. Even if Zhang Ji did not flee by then, the city defense of Xin'an County would be difficult to attack because of his construction. .

……

Niu Fu led an army of 200 Flying Bears to cover more than [-] li in just one day. When the army was about to approach Lu County, news came from the former army scouts that the enemy soldiers who had captured the county had suddenly disappeared. .

When Niu Fu heard that the enemy's tactics were not like those of princes and warlords, they were more like bandits and bandits.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue marching in a hurry, Dong Zhuo's urgent order was sent from Luoyang.

I saw only a simple sentence in the letter, "Southwest is suspected to be Zhu Jun's soldiers, I hope my son-in-law will march carefully!"

But it was this simple sentence that made Niu Fu immediately issue a general order to stop the march, all because he saw Zhu Jun's name written on the letter.

Zhu Jun, styled Gongwei, was the youngest of the three generals in the late Han Dynasty, so he was nicknamed "Zhu Laosan".

Even though he is ranked third, his contribution in the battle against the Yellow Turban Rebellion is much greater than that of Lu Zhi, who ranks first.

Later, when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to control the court, Zhu Jun was the first to stand up to oppose it, so Niu Fu was ordered to lead an army of 7000 to suppress it, but was defeated by Zhu Jun's [-] men.

It's a pity that Zhu Jun was isolated and helpless, and finally ran out of food and grass supplies, so he fled to Jingzhou for refuge.

But after that battle, both Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu were afraid of Zhu Jun's survival. If Zhu Jun was the one who raised troops in the southwest, then Niu Fu would definitely be very careful, and he would never take the initiative to attack Lu County without certainty of victory.

After all, before Niu Fu led 3 people, he couldn't beat Zhu Jun's 7000 people, but this time the news said that there were at least 2 soldiers in the Southwest. How could Niu Fu not be alarmed and careful.

But Niu Fu clearly remembered that Zhu Jun went to Funiu Mountain after being blocked in Jingzhou, so why did he suddenly raise troops and make trouble in Lu County?
……

Lu County is located in the southwest of Hongnong County. There is Funiu Mountain 2000 miles east of here.

After seeing off Lu Bu that day, Liu Yu and Xun Yu rushed to Laojun Peak overnight. They were going to visit a person there. If they could successfully persuade this person to help, they would be able to let Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army defect from Luoyang smoothly. city.

After traveling for about one night and one day, the two arrived at Liang County, the southernmost part of Henan County. After entering the city and resting for half a day, they began to find someone to inquire about the way into the mountain.

"Old Junfeng? I think the two of you are also wealthy people. Why do you want to go to the bandit den?" An old man who was nearly fifty years old shook his head in confusion, but pointed at Liu Yu when he saw that they insisted on going. A path outside the city.

"Go straight along there, about [-] miles away, there will be a fork in the road, choose the path on the far left and continue walking for more than ten miles, and you will see a hill. After crossing the hill, you will see Laojun Peak !"

"Thank you old man for telling me!"

Liu Yu watched the old man leave with clasped fists, then turned to Xun Yu and said, "The road to Laojun Peak is difficult and dangerous, Wen Ruo should wait for me in the city!"

Xun Yu also knew that he was not good at force, and following him to the bandit den would only slow him down, so he had to remind Liu Yu to be careful all the way.

"Liu Biao has some friendship with that person. The King of Zhongshan should take the letter from Lord Inspector so as not to be misunderstood by the other party's subordinates!"

"Don't worry, Wen Ruo, I have more than one letter of introduction here, I believe that person will not disappear behind closed doors! But Wen Ruo, don't forget to find someone in the city for me!"

"Understood, isn't it just a young man named Chen Dao? We are determined to find him before King Zhongshan returns!"

Liu Yu smiled and didn't explain any more, turned around and walked in the direction of Lao Junfeng.

Chen Dao, whose name is Shuzhi, is a general whose overall ability is almost comparable to that of Zhao Yun.

According to historical records, he served as the commander of the Baimu army under Liu Bei's account. His name was often inferior to Zhao Yun's. He was famous for his loyalty and bravery.

It's just that such an outstanding military general is rarely known about his deeds when he was young. Even in historical materials, Chen Dao's name is only slightly mentioned after Liu Bei occupied Runan City.

Liu Yu was a history buff in his previous life, and he not only paid attention to official history, but also was very interested in some unofficial history rumors.

He has always believed that the official history is not necessarily true, after all, it is written by the victors, and the rumors of unofficial history are not all out of thin air, since they exist, there must be some truth.

It happened that Liu Yu remembered a piece of unofficial history, which said that Chen Dao was from Pingyu, Runan. He went out to roam around when he was young, and he was a thief in Liang County for two years.

The so-called thief Cao Yu was one of the five officials under his sect, and all the counties and counties were in charge of arresting thieves. If Chen Daozhen was an official here, Xun Yu only needed to inquire about him in the city to find him.

And after finding Chen Dao, Liu Yu will definitely come to invite him in person. I believe that with his status as the king of Zhongshan, he will be able to take Chen Dao, who has not yet achieved fame, under his command.

But this time Liu Yu's ultimate goal in coming to Funiu Mountain was not to find and recruit Chen Dao, but to visit a famous general who had been famous for a long time.

This person is Zhu Jun, one of the three generals in the late Han Dynasty.

When Zhu Jun fled to the boundary of Jingzhou, there were only less than 1000 people left around him. At that time, the governor of Jingzhou was still Wang Rui.

Zhu Jun had no choice but to enter Funiu Mountain to take refuge temporarily.

Funiu Mountain stretches for [-] miles, and many remnants of the Yellow Turbans fled here to fall into the grass. When Zhu Jun came here, he had a plan to integrate this force.

After less than half a year, Zhu Jun not only occupied Laojun Peak, the main peak of Funiu Mountain, but also expanded his men to more than 1 people. If it weren't for the fact that the allied forces of the princes were defeated so quickly, Zhu Jun might have taken this group of people to support Yuan Shao and the others. .

As for why Liu Yu came to visit Zhu Jun, it was naturally to perfect the plan to help Lu Bu defect to Luoyang.

Liu Yu has heard all about the Golden Palace, Dong Zhuo obviously doesn't trust Lv Bu, and there are only two suspects from the southwest and northeast that may not allow Lv Bu to lead the army smoothly.

In fact, originally Liu Yu also deployed a suspicious soldier in the southeast direction, that is, Liu Biao's Jingzhou soldiers. Unfortunately, Liu Biao did not dare to confront Dong Zhuo head-on because of the mysterious rich businessman.

So in order to ensure that the plan is not lost, Liu Yu decided to ask Zhu Jun for help, and to make up for the suspects along the southeast road.
