Chapter 95
The news of the fall of Liandao County spread throughout the land of Jingyang in an instant. Invisibly, the news seemed to have grown wings. Almost everyone knew about it. In the dark, if you think about it, you can know that there must be someone behind it.

A long-premeditated battle is unfolding for Yuan Yao. Whether it is Sun Ce, Liu Bei, or Jingzhou officials, they are all waiting to see Yuan Yao's jokes, and they are all ready to open their fangs. Go take a big bite.

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, how can Yuan Yao swallow this hateful anger.

At that moment Yuan Yao personally came to Changsha County and led the army to Liandao County.

It's a pity that the Wuxi barbarians have already fled away, and the entire small county has become a ruined wall. The air is filled with a strong smell of blood and the smell of burnt corpses.

Looking at the corpses all over the floor, Yuan Yao felt extremely distressed.

Yuan Yao's footsteps finally stopped in front of the corpse of the boy with long hair. An inexplicable cold surged from Yuan Yao's eyes like a tide, and his suffocating voice sounded in the air: "Even the child will not be spared!" , these beasts, hooligans, butchers, beasts are not as good as..."

"Boom..."

A crisp sound resounded from the ruins in front, like the sound of pottery being broken, Cheng Yaojin's eyes showed fierceness, the Xuanhua ax came into his hand in an instant, he took two steps forward and crossed in front of Yuan Yao, loudly shouted: "Who? Come out !"

"Grandpa, please forgive me..."

There was a panicked sound from the ruins, and then a thin man crawled out wiltingly, not even daring to lift his head, and his whole body was still trembling.

Yuan Yao's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Look at who we are?"

"Uh?"

The man looked at Yuan Yao in surprise, and then looked at Luo Yi who was following Yuan Yao. He knew Luo Yi, and he had come to Liandao County to recruit soldiers, but he was too timid to enlist in the army because he was afraid of death. Well now, all his wife and children died at the hands of Wuxi Man.

The man complained bitterly and climbed to Luo Yi's feet, tears streaming down his eyes, "General Luo, the Wuxi Man killed the strong men in Man County, captured all the women and children, and sent them to Guiyang County."

"what?"

Luo Yi asked in surprise: "Go to Guiyang County? How many people do they have?"

The thin man complained bitterly: "There are 1000 people, all of them are cavalry, General Luo, you must avenge the fathers and villagers of Liandao County!"

Luo Yi had a bitter expression on his face, the war started in his territory, but now the enemy has gone to the Jingzhou army's territory again, how to start with it.

Yuan Yao said in a deep voice: "Get up first, no matter who dares to bully Yuan Boping on my head, don't let him bleed, I will make him cry."

It was night, Changsha County, Linxiang City, the prefect's office.

In the dark night, with a lamp like a bean, Yuan Yao sat behind the table with gloomy eyes.

Li Ji and Du Ruhui looked dignified, kneeling on both sides, the atmosphere in the room seemed oppressive and dignified, the cold night wind blowing through the window, howling.

Cheng Yaojin was sitting outside the door with a Xuanhua ax in his hand, his eyes were shining, and he looked around vigilantly.

Du Ru sighed faintly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Wuxi barbarians come and go without a trace, like a sharp knife, hanging in our hearts, and will become a major obstacle for us to go south to Jiaozhou. We must solve this problem as soon as possible. It’s troublesome, but I’m afraid that someone is instigating behind it.”

Yuan Yao's eyes turned cold, and he remained silent.

There is no profit behind it, Wuxi Man will not commit crimes for no reason, and he will not be guilty of meddling in other people's affairs. Wuxi Man has been in exile in Wuling County, but now he has calmly crossed Lingling County and came to Changsha County alone. It's no wonder that there is no trick behind it.

Li Ji smiled sadly, and suddenly said: "My lord, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing, no matter whether the Wuxi Man and the Jingzhou army are related or not, we just need to insist on it, and we just took this opportunity to send troops to Guiyang. "

Du Ruhui nodded indifferently. He was already ready to go south to Jiaozhou, and Lujiang County could give up strategically. As for how Cao Cao and Sun Ce fought, it had nothing to do with them.

Yuan Yao asked in a deep voice: "Dugong, is it true that the Jingzhou army is behind this matter?"

"Maybe, or maybe not, but after thinking about it, it is very likely that it is not the Jingzhou Army, but Sun Ce."

Yuan Yao paused. It seemed that Du Ruhui and him wanted to go together. Sun Ce, a tiger, would not stop at all. He lured the Wuxi Man to Changsha County for nothing more than to attract the troops of Lujiang County and to get something out of it. profit.

How could Yuan Yao let him get his wish?

After the Wuximan went south to Guiyang County, they suddenly disappeared, which made Yuan Yao more vigilant. There was a faint prelude to a storm.

Yuan Yao has been in Linxiang, Changsha County for ten days, and there is no news of Wuximan. In the dead of night, Yuan Yao was meditating at his desk, when a familiar sound of footsteps sounded from outside the hall.

Without raising his head, Yuan Yao asked, "Du Gong, are you here?"

Du Ruhui replied: "See my lord."

"sit down."

Yuan Yaosu gave up his seat, Du Ruhui bent his knees and sat down quite casually, looked up and saw Yuan Yao's brows were tightly furrowed and his expression was gloomy, he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "My lord, what are you worrying about?"

Yuan Yaodao: "The spies of Shenji Battalion reported that the Wuxi Man has colluded with Guiyang prefect Zhao Fan, and has raised [-] troops to attack Linxiang."

Du Ruhui said: "Well... this is indeed bad news. Zhao Fan is stubborn and headstrong. My lord killed his school lieutenant Chen Ying before, and he must have regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Now that he is in a critical situation, he is eager to bite him right away. "

Yuan Yao nodded silently. This was what he was worried about. He was not fully prepared now. If he didn't save his strength, how would he go south to Jiaozhou to confront Shi Xie.

Du Ruhui said again: "However, my lord, there is no need to worry too much. Zhao Fan is just an unknown person. If we want to wipe out these five thousand soldiers, there will be no hindrance to go south to Jiaozhou."

Yuan Yao said again: "There is one more thing, just take a look at this."

As he said that, Yuan Yao handed Jia Xu a volume of slips on the table and said, "A moment ago, this was an urgent secret report from Shi Qian. Qian, stationed on the outskirts of Changsha County, I'm afraid I can't wait."

Du Ruhui thought for a while, and asked, "The lord is worried that Sun Ce, Zhao Fan, and the Wuxi barbarians are connected with each other?"

Yuan Yao frowned and said, "This is not just a worry, but a fact!"

Du Ruhui said: "Oh?"

Yuan Yao handed another volume of slips to Du Ruhui, and said, "Look at this."

Du Ruhui stretched out his hand to take it and slowly unfolded it. After reading the ten lines at a glance, he frowned and said in a low voice, "It turned out to be a letter from Liu Bei to Sun Ce!?"

"Ah."

Yuan Yao said: "The scout ranger intercepted it halfway."

Du Ruhui stood up, pondered for a moment, and said worriedly: "This matter is quite tricky. If Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Zhao Fan and Wuximan are really teamed up, we will be in great trouble. Unfortunately, we don't have a half support army." , otherwise things wouldn’t be like this.”

"There are really no reinforcements!"

Yuan Yao nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about."

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "My lord, judging from this situation, the only way is to unite with Cao Cao, and send a man who can speak eloquently, be quick-witted and changeable, and give Cao Cao a sense of profit and loss. Maybe it can help us, that's the only way. It can foil the conspiracy of this group of people."

Yuan Yaodao: "In the army, those who are eloquent, quick-witted and changeable should be the first to recommend Du Gong. The military division may be successful, and the rest of the generals are not successful."

Du Ruhui said: "My lord, at this point, the only thing I can do is go down to Xudu."

"If Duke Du goes, I'm relieved."

Yuan Yao said happily, "However, the journey from Changsha to Xudu is long, and there are many bandits and strong men on the way. It is necessary for Qin Qiong to lead two hundred white soldiers to accompany him for protection."

Du Ruhui said: "General Qin Qiong and two hundred white soldiers need to protect the safety of the lord. They have heavy responsibilities and cannot leave without authorization. Please ask General Cheng Yaojin to lead a hundred fine horses to go there."

Yuan Yao said decisively: "Mr. Du's trip to Xudu is related to the fate of the entire army. Don't be careless. Don't talk too much about it."

Now in the entire camp, only Qin Qiong has the highest martial arts, Gao Chong has not yet broken through the peak of his own martial arts, Yuan Yao can only use his most powerful people to protect Du Ruhui, so that he can feel at ease.

Du Ruhui didn't make many excuses, and readily accepted, "That's it, I thank you, my lord."

Yuan Yao immediately summoned Qin Qiong to the house.

Yuan Yao cast his eyes on Qin Qiong, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Bao, Du Gong is going to Xudu for some important matters, and he needs a strong general and elite soldiers to accompany him to protect him. This trip may be extremely dangerous. Du Gong is the lifeblood of our army, and the matter is of great importance. There is no room for loss, do you dare to take orders to go?"

Qin Qiong said emphatically, "Why don't you dare!"

Yuan Yao said: "Okay, immediately gather two hundred white-armed soldiers and escort Du Gong to Xudu."

Qin Qiong clasped his fists and said, "The general will follow orders."

Du Ruhui said again: "My lord, the trip to Xudu should be done sooner rather than later, for fear of changes, I will start now."

Yuan Yaozheng nodded and said, "Alright."
