Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269 Journey to Mount Tai
In June, the scorching sun was like a fire, and the trees were as if they were impotent, with their heads bowed and motionless.

On the Wenhe River at the foot of Mount Tai, a group of warships came from the lower reaches.

The weather was hot, and the soldiers took off their thick armor and hid in the shade of the cabin.Some simply jumped into the river, soaked in the water, and hung themselves behind the boat with ropes, but they were quite at ease.

Under the scorching sun, Cheng Huang stood on the deck, looking at the lush Mount Tai in the distance.Under the blessing of the fire dragon, he did not feel the heat of summer at all, but felt a burst of coolness instead.

"My lord, there is Mount Tai in front of me. This Mount Tai has a radius of thousands of miles. I don't know where the four generals of Mount Tai are now?" Xu Shu was wearing a green robe and was holding a folding fan, but sweat was still dripping from his head.

"I think General Zang must know how to contact them." Cheng Huang waved his hand, and the guards who were hiding in the cabin to enjoy the cool came over immediately.

"General Zang is here!"

After a while, a warship gradually approached, and Zang Ba jumped over from the boat.

"May I ask what orders General Cheng has?" Zang Ba cupped his hands.

"Mount Tai has arrived, help me contact the four generals of Mount Tai,"

"Yes!" Zang Ba finished speaking, turned and left.

After a while, the warships docked one after another, and the soldiers immediately put on their armor, raised their weapons, jumped off the warships, and rested on the shore.

"General Cheng, I have sent someone to inform Sun Guan and the others. I believe they will arrive soon." Zang Ba walked over and cupped his hands at Cheng Huang.

Sure enough, two hours later, a group of people rushed from afar, led by the four pirates from Mount Tai.

"General Cheng," the four of them came forward and cupped their hands towards Cheng Huang.

Sun Guandao: "I don't know that the general of the city is here, so I am far away to welcome you. Forgive me. Since the general has arrived at Mount Tai, how about going to our cottage for a glass of water and wine?"

"Of course," Cheng Huang said with a smile.But there was a bit of bitterness in his heart. From this point of view, Sun Guan and the others didn't have the intention to take refuge in themselves, they only regarded themselves as friends!

At that moment, Cheng Huang asked Zhao Wei to organize the team and wait at the foot of the mountain. He brought Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, and Zang Ba to the mountain.

The cottages of the four generals of Mount Tai were built on four mountains respectively. Sun Guan's cottage is the main one, and the other three villages are arranged on the left and right.

Sun Guan brought Zang Ba and the others to the meeting hall of the main village, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare food and drinks for Cheng Huang and the others.

After taking their seats, several people turned politely, and Cheng Huang asked: "The four village owners have occupied Mount Tai for a long time, do you know the movement of the yellow scarves in Qingxu and Xuzhou?"

Yin Li got up and said, "There has been a lot of movement in the Yellow Turbans recently. It is said that tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans attacked a Yiren's territory the day before yesterday, and the entire army was wiped out. And Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, sent people to join forces with Liu Bei in Pingyuan, intending to completely wipe out the Yellow Turbans in these two prefectures." The day before yesterday, Tao Qian even sent people to our cottage, hoping that we could send troops to stop the Yellow Turbans. We refused!"

After hearing Yin Li's words, Cheng Huang and the others were all shocked.

Especially Cheng Huang, of course he knows how powerful the three brothers Liu Bei are.

It must be someone in the Yellow Turban Army who got the news about the territory of the Longteng Club.Then he sent troops to attack, and it turned out to be Wang Teng's experience.This Wang Teng must have done a lot of credit for destroying tens of thousands of yellow scarves.

It seems that there will be many more twists and turns in this trip out of thin air.

"The four generals are all descendants of Lvlin, so I'll just say it straight. Ma Yuanyi, the Yellow Turban Commander of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, has an old relationship with me, and has long wanted to surrender to me. I hope the four generals will not be enemies with him. .Even, when necessary, help them."

"This," the four of them hesitated. Although they were bandits, they were born and bred here, and their roots were already deeply rooted.I don't want to ruin my foundation because of the Yellow Turban.

"Oh, why are you four so unhappy? As the descendants of the Green Forest, we should obey the orders of the Green Forest Army's owner. General Cheng is flattering you with a deliberative tone. Even if you order you to wait, you must obey .If you are mother-in-law and mother-in-law, just think that I, Zang Ba, don't have brothers like you." Seeing the hesitation of several people, Zang Ba said angrily.

These four people grew up together with Zang Ba, and they were always led by Zang Ba. Seeing that Zang Ba was angry, Sun Guan quickly said: "Brother Zang, calm down, we didn't say we won't help General Cheng!"

"Hehe," Cheng Huang said with a smile, "Don't blame the brothers by mistake, General Zang! I think they are all loyal people. Of course, such a big matter needs to be carefully thought out. How about this, the five thousand that you brought with General Zang How about keeping the soldiers and horses at Mount Tai so that you don't get separated?"

Cheng Huang's meaning is very simple, keep Zang Ba to control the four bandits on Mount Tai.This Mount Tai stretches for thousands of miles, even if all the yellow scarves hide in and train secretly, it will be difficult for others to find it.If the imperial army wants to encircle and suppress, it will also increase the difficulty.

After hearing Cheng Huang's words, Sun Guan and Yin Li quickly cheered up, "Okay! Our brothers are just able to work together!"

But Wu Dun and Chang Xi, after a little hesitation, nodded.

Zang Ba couldn't understand Cheng Huang's meaning, so he nodded quickly and said, "I am willing to obey General Cheng's order and stay on Mount Tai."

"Okay," Cheng Huang smiled!In this way, he was relieved a lot.

Soon, good wine and good food came up. After the group had eaten, Cheng Huang inquired about Xuzhou's recent situation before leaving and going down the mountain.

Zang Ba waved goodbye with five thousand soldiers.

Now, Cheng Huang's team is left with five hundred white horse righteous men and one thousand rattan armor soldiers!There are a lot fewer people, and the action is faster!

After dark, Cheng Huang docked the fleet on the shore, and arrived in Qingzhou early the next morning after a night.

According to the information sent by Ma Yuanyi, the main force of the Yellow Turbans he led was stationed in Qingzhou Yingling.

More than a thousand teams got off the boat, walked Lulu, and soon entered Yingling.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before they encountered a group of Yellow Turbans. When the Yellow Turbans saw the officers and soldiers led by Cheng Huang, they turned their heads and ran away, but Zhao Yun rode out and captured one alive.

Zhao Yun threw the yellow scarf soldier in front of Cheng Huang, Cheng Huang dismounted and picked up the yellow scarf soldier.

With a movement of his hand, several gold coins appeared in his hand.

Cheng Huang smiled, just like a devil entering the village. "Tell me the news you want. Not only will I not kill you, these gold coins are yours. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will put you on the tree trunk and let the sun slowly drip and roast you." It’s up to you to choose what you want to make into jerky.”

He knew that if he directly said that he wanted to see Ma Yuanyi, the soldier would not believe him, so it was simple and straightforward to pretend to be a bad guy.

Sure enough, after hearing Cheng Huang's words, the yellow scarf nodded quickly, expressing his willingness to tell Cheng Huang.

"You are very smart. Smart people tend to live longer." Cheng Huang put it down and said with a smile.
