Seeing Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu approaching with their troops, Huangfu Jianchang, who only had a few hundred men, became nervous unconsciously.
"Quickly load it up and transport it all away. No one is allowed to be left behind!"
Huangfu Jianchang raised his head and glanced at the rising sun, and said anxiously.
The guards of the Imperial City Mansion did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly pretended and transported, and were equally panicked.
Dong Zhuo's reinforcements came over. Knowing that they had robbed money and food, how could they keep them alive?
"Captain, pretend." After a long time, a guard came over and said.
"You don't need to tell me, I can see it."
Huangfu Jianchang wiped the sweat from his head and said angrily.
Then, he looked towards the north, estimated the time in his mind, and said to himself: "Old Shi should have gone far..."
The purpose of his stay, besides killing the owner of the money, the most important thing was to attract the attention of Dong Zhuo's reinforcements and give Shi A enough time to escape!
Feeling the trembling of the ground and the clear sound of horse hooves, Huangfu Jian took a deep breath and whispered to the guard in front of him: "Go east, to Qi County."
Pei County and Qi County are not far apart, but in terms of regional division, Qi County belongs to Pengcheng State and Xuzhou.
The guard was startled and said quickly: "Lieutenant, we are too close. What if Dong Zhuo's reinforcements pursue us?"
Huangfu Jianchang suppressed his uneasiness and said calmly: "You don't need to think so much, I will send a letter to Prime Minister Pengcheng. When you arrive in Qi County, escape the pursuit and transfer to Yanzhou as soon as possible to meet up with Shi'a!"
The guard responded, looked at him, and said, "Then, Captain, what should you do?"
"I have my own way, you go quickly!" Huangfu Jian said.
The guard didn't say anything more, and quickly left with the people and the car.
Huangfu Jianzhang stood there and watched them. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Who is coming?"
He still had to delay for time to let the guards of the Imperial City Mansion transport these belongings a sufficient distance.
There were only two guards beside him, and one of them said: "It's Zhang Ji."
Huangfu Jianchang's expression was solemn. He and Zhang Ji were only famous, had never met, and knew very little about them.
Then he looked at the direction the carriage was leaving. Huangfu Jian's eyes were firm and he turned around and said, "Go to the city tower."
The two guards followed him towards the city gate without saying a word.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw thousands of troops coming at full speed, with dust billowing and momentum like a rainbow, as if they were going to surround Peixian County.
Huangfu Jianzhang stood on the tower, holding a sword in his hand, his palms were full of sweat, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
This is the closest he has been to death!
But there was no trace of panic on Huangfu Jian's long face, he was calm and composed, with a confident smile on his face.
Zhang Ji came not far from the city gate. He saw that there were only three people upstairs, riding horses, and came closer. He stared at Huangfu Jianchang, looked at him carefully, and his expression suddenly changed.
Zhang Xiu didn't know Huangfu Jianchang, so he looked at him from a distance. Seeing Zhang Ji's expression change, he asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"
The people on the city tower are obviously confident, which makes it even more certain that they may be people from the Luoyang City court!
Zhang Xiu didn't know Huangfu Jianchang, but Zhang Ji knew him because he had been to Huangfu Mansion and met Huangfu Jianchang by chance.
'The second young master of the Huangfu Mansion...is this Da Sima's method? '
Zhang Ji had a sullen face and was shocked.
Huangfu Song is the huge rock that weighs on their hearts. Not to mention Zhang Ji, even if Dong Zhuo comes, he must be a junior!
If it was Huangfu Song who intervened in Yuzhou, Zhang Ji would not be able to act rashly. Who knows what other back-ups there might be! ?
Zhang Ji was thinking about it again and again, and suddenly turned to look at Zhang Xiu and said, "How many people did you say before? Three thousand?"
Zhang Xiu saw Zhang Ji's expression and said with some confusion: "It's three thousand, under the banner of Lu Bu, the captain of Pinglu."
Zhang Ji became even more uneasy and said: "I'm afraid there are more than three thousand. Follow me into the city, and the others will stay where they are!"
Zhang Xiu didn't know why, so he followed the horse into the city.
When Chief Huangfu Jian on the city tower saw Zhang Ji entering the city, his neck felt cold and he trembled all over.
The two guards beside him were relatively calm and whispered: "Captain, it's still too late to run away now, they haven't sealed the city."
Although Huangfu Jianchang was afraid, he couldn't tell from his appearance, and said, "We still have to wait a little longer."
The two guards said nothing more because they had already heard the footsteps.
Zhang Ji came up, looked at Huangfu Jianchang coldly, and said expressionlessly: "Second Young Master Huangfu, what are you doing?"
Huangfu Jian was startled and said, "Do you know me?"
Zhang Ji looked unkind and said: "Second Young Master, Mr. Dong is suppressing bandits in the front, but you are stealing his money and food from behind. Should there be an explanation?"
Huangfu Jian smiled and said: "Zhang Ji, you have recognized the wrong person."
Zhang Ji had a stern look on his face, holding a sword in his hand, and said with a fierce aura: "Second Young Master, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Peixian County!"
Huangfu Jianchang took a few steps forward, came to Zhang Ji, and whispered: "Some things can be done and can be said; some things cannot be done and cannot be said; some things can be done but cannot be said. Zhang Ji, if you insist Exposing it would be bad for everyone."
Zhang Ji's eyes changed slightly and his expression was solemn.
He understands what Huangfu Jianchang means. Now that he has captured Huangfu Jianchang's stolen goods, he is breaking with Huangfu Song, Da Sima's Mansion, and the imperial court!
He didn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter!
Huangfu Jian stared at Zhang Ji's face with his long eyes, not missing a single bit of it. When he saw that he was silent, he suddenly burst out laughing and left straight away.
Zhang Ji tightened his right hand and wanted to stop him, but he was too stiff to move.
Huangfu Jianchang took his time and walked down the tower in a swaggering manner.
Zhang Xiu had roughly guessed the identity of Huangfu Jianchang from the word 'Huangfu', so he naturally thought more about it. He approached Zhang Ji and whispered: "Uncle, are you going to let him go like this?"
Zhang Ji's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't think in his heart that if Huangfu Jianchang was let go like this, Dong Zhuo would have to kill him.
But if Huangfu Jian was detained, how could Huangfu Song give up?
That kind of consequence, Zhang Ji expected, was not what Dong Zhuo wanted to see now!
When Zhang Xiu saw that Zhang Ji was silent, he knew it was powerful and did not dare to say anything.
Huangfu Jianchang went downstairs and pulled the horse over. He tried to put his left foot in the stirrup tremblingly, but failed to step on it firmly. He stumbled and almost fell down.
He grabbed the saddle with both hands and continued to get on the horse calmly. He turned to look at Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, if you are willing to follow me, I guarantee you a bright future!"
Zhang Ji's face suddenly perked up when he heard Huangfu Jianchang's shouting. He pushed Zhang Xiu past him and shouted: "Let him go!"
Zhang Xiu was shocked and said: "Uncle!?"
"Let's go!" Zhang Ji said with a heavy face and pushed hard again.
Seeing Zhang Ji's expression, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth, turned around and went downstairs.
Huangfu Jian, who was about to ride away, was startled. He just said it casually to cover up his panic. Why did he really come down?
Zhang Xiu went downstairs and mounted his horse. He still couldn't calm down. He raised his hand with difficulty and said: "Second Young Master will not give up. I will eventually follow Second Young Master!"
Huangfu Jianchang remained calm. Thinking of Zhang Xiu's bravery in the previous battle with Zhang He, he secretly moved in his heart and laughed: "Within five years, I will protect you as a lieutenant general!"
After saying that, Da Ma left quickly.
Zhang Xiu looked back at Zhang Ji, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, but followed Huangfu Jianchang and left.
Zhang Ji watched Zhang Xiu go away and felt relieved.
"I don't have a choice, you still have it." Zhang Ji whispered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around suddenly and saw a large group of soldiers and horses coming not far away, with the flag with the word 'Dong' rustling.
Zhang Ji took a deep breath, tried his best to control his expression, turned around and walked down the tower to greet him.
Facing Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuo sat on the chariot, his old face was as murderous as ice, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at Zhang Ji fiercely.
Beside him were Niu Fu, Jia Xu, and Hua Xiong. Guo Si and others were still chasing Yuan Shu and had not returned.
Zhang Ji knelt down in front of him and spoke slowly.
When he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo drew his sword fiercely and roared: "How brave! How dare you lose my money and food!"
Hua Xiong and others were shocked and quickly stopped and persuaded.
"Dong Gong, calm down!"
"Father, don't blame Shidu, it's not his fault!"
"Dong Gong, dong Gong calm down. Even if you kill Shidu, you can't recover the money and food. You should find a way to recover the money and food."
"Get out of my way!" Dong Zhuo refused to listen and swung his sword to strike.
He has a large number of troops and must be in command. Money and food are the foundation. If he loses money and food, how can he lead the troops and control Yuzhou?
Niu Fu, Hua Xiong and others had close friendship with Zhang Ji, so they tried their best to stop him.
"You mean, it was Huangfu's second son who kidnapped Zhang Xiu and stole his money and food?" Jia Xu suddenly spoke, looking at Zhang Ji quietly.
Zhang Ji didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Yes."
Dong Zhuo's chest rose and fell, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and the murderous intent on his face was as real as it could be.
His money and food were robbed, and his joy of defeating Yuan Shu was instantly wiped out!
Jia Xu stared at Zhang Ji, his expression unmoving. For a moment, he looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Dong Gong, please write to the court immediately, describing the defeat of Yuan Shu, and please allocate money and food."
Dong Zhuo's eyes widened angrily and he shouted: "Is this the case?"
Seeing Dong Zhuo's anger, Jia Xu stopped talking.
Dong Zhuo stared at Jia Xu fiercely, then looked at Zhang Ji on the ground, with great hatred in his heart. He threw away the sword in his hand and said, "What do you think?"
He had just defeated Yuan Shu, and apart from driving Yuan Shu out of Pei State, there was no benefit at all for the time being. Money and food were stolen again, and the situation was very passive!
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had calmed down, Jia Xu said lightly: "Dong Gong, the summer harvest is coming soon."
The summer harvest means food!
Dong Zhuo's old face was as iron as steel, and his murderous intent could not be eliminated, and he said: "I can't swallow this breath!"
If the money and food are gone, he can raise them again, but Dong Zhuo cannot bear the humiliation of being plotted against!
Jia Xu was silent, but he kept thinking in his heart.
Huangfusong's move was beyond his expectation!
The accuracy of the intelligence, the timing, and the decisiveness of the attack shocked Jia Xu.
This shows that the imperial court was not only well aware of Dong Zhuo's every move, but also Yuan Shu's side!
"The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked. By doing this, Huangfu Song is preparing to attack Dong Zhuo?" Jia Xu's eyes froze and he thought to himself.
