The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99 Prepare for the Night Attack
Du Ruhui sorted out his thoughts for a while, and counterattacked calmly: "Does the Prime Minister think that my young master will surely die? In fact, it is not the case. If my young master wants to protect himself, why not give up Changsha and Jiangxia, relying on the foundation of Lujiang County, Not to mention March and May, even in three to five years, Sun Ce and others would never even set foot on the Lujiang River, so why did they come alone to ask the prime minister?"

"This……"

Cao Cao was hit by Du Ruhui's words, and he was at a loss for words.

The words Cao Cao prepared in his mind were useless, and he panicked aggrieved.

In fact, as Du Ruhui said, now that Yuan Yao has a high reputation in Lujiang County and has surplus food, he must gather soldiers and horses from the three counties to defend Lujiang County. Sun Ce may not be able to capture Lujiang County.

Moreover, once Yuan Yao withdrew from Changsha and Jiangxia, the encirclement and suppression from the Jingzhou army would naturally melt the ice.

At that time, Cao Cao really didn't want Yuan Yao to be destroyed by Sun Ce. Once Sun Ce occupied Lujiang County, the gate of Yuzhou would be completely opened, but Yuan Shao didn't die, and Cao Cao didn't want to give up halfway.

Seeing that Cao Cao was shocked by his own words, Du Ruhui struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Although my young master comes from four generations and three princes, his father, Yuan Shu, has been cast aside by the gentry for a long time, and has no intention of striving for hegemony. , to end the rest of my life."

Cao Cao's heart was moved when he heard the words, but Du Ruhui's words were true. In Yuan Yao's life, it would be very difficult for Yuan Yao to get the approval of the gentry.

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to be moving on purpose, Du Ruhui continued, "My son also intends to go south to Jiaozhou to find a border town. If it is not necessary, I don't want to be involved in disputes in this life."

"Even if the four-way allied forces attack my son together, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. What's more, my son will lead the people to the south, thousands of miles to the frontier, where can't they live?"

"but……"

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "But how?"

Du Ruhui smiled faintly, and replied: "However, Sun Ce of Jiangdong is a generation of tigers and wolves, and he has the support of Yangzhou nobles. If he is allowed to win Lujiang County, the Prime Minister may not be at peace day and night."

"Well!"

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the words, and Du Ruhui talked about his shortcomings.

If Yuan Yao was really driven into a hurry and fled to the border of Jiaozhou, it would also mean that the plan Guo Jia planned for him to drive away wolves and tigers would be completely aborted!
At the beginning of the timing, Guo Jia reserved two foreign soldiers, Yuan Yao and Sun Ce, as a check and balance.

But once Yuan Yao put down the pick and went south to Jiaozhou, Sun Ce lost his checks and balances, and the battle of Hebei was already at the point of a decisive victory.

No!

Don't let this happen!

Cao Cao's face was heavy, and he said coldly: "Sir, you have a sharp tongue, but now Yuzhou has limited soldiers and horses. I want to help Yuan Boping, but there is nothing I can do."

Du Ruhui said seriously: "The Prime Minister is wrong. This move is not to help my son, but to help the prime minister himself. My son intends to hand over Lujiang County to the prime minister."

"what?"

Cao Cao exclaimed: "Give it to Prime Minister Ben? Could it be that Prime Minister heard it wrong, or did you say something wrong?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Prime Minister did not hear wrongly, and I did not misunderstand what I said. It is a handover. In the whole world, could it be the king's land? Today, the emperor is still in Xudu. The prime minister is in charge of the world on behalf of the emperor, so it should be handed over to the prime minister."

Cao Cao looked at Du Ruhui in shock, and Fang Xucai said slowly, "Mister, please elaborate."

Du Ruhui replied: "The land of Lujiang is the land of the Four Wars. My young master knows that his talent is limited and his ability is limited. If he stays here and falls into the swamp, he will not die for a while, but he is not far away from death." .”

"So, my son is going to hand over Lujiang County to the prime minister. He doesn't ask for a reward from the prime minister. He only hopes that after the prime minister settles in Lujiang county, he can help my son resist Sun Ce's attack, so that my son can smash the plot of these villains."

"Ha ha……"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yuan Boping is a good planner. Lujiang County is not as rich as Jiangxia County. He wants to make a big difference with a small one, but the Prime Minister is willing to help him."

Cao Cao got up and said to Xu Chu who was outside the door: "Xu Chu, go and summon Guo Jia and Xun Yu to discuss matters."

Seeing that the matter had settled, Du Ruhui felt relieved, stood up and said goodbye, "Prime Minister, the matter has been settled, I will take my leave now, go back to the young master as soon as possible, and make preparations to evacuate from Lujiang."

Cao Cao's eyebrows flashed, and he looked at Du Ruhui with a look of thirst for talent, "I think Mr. is a great talent, it's better to stay at the foot of the emperor and become an official, so as to contribute a little to the country and society."

Treacherous and cunning, indeed a cunning and cunning.

Before Du Ruhui left, Yuan Yao repeatedly told him that Cao Cao was very old and cunning, and he had to be careful with his sugar-coated shells. At first Du Ruhui didn't know what Yuan Yao was talking about, but now he understood.

It's a pity that Cao Cao had calculated everything, and he never imagined that all the people Yuan Yao summoned only hoped that Yuan Yao would become king on his own, and the sweet words of others really had no effect at all.

Du Ruhui looked melancholy, and Shu'er looked sad again, and said lightly: "The prime minister doesn't know, when I came, the young master imprisoned my family, if I can't complete this task, or can't go back to my life, the whole family will be killed." To be condemned and sent to prison, I really feel sorry for the prime minister's kindness."

"This Yuan Boping is such an asshole?"

Cao Cao cursed.

Du Ruhui interjected: "The prime minister doesn't know something, the young master is always moody, if we are a little careless, we will be reprimanded."

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Yuan Boping is ignorant of people, so it's hard to be a gentleman. If he wants to come to Xudu as an official in the future, I, Cao Mengde, will definitely receive him personally."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your compliment!"

After Du Ruhui saluted Cao Cao, he left and went back to the post house, and returned to Lujiang County with Qin Qiong and others.

……

Hengshan pass, the third army barracks.

Wearing heavy armor, Luo Yi rode his horse slowly past the formation, and the crisp sound of iron hooves shattered the silence of the dark night.

The eyes of the soldiers followed Luo Yi's advance. Under the bright red firelight, the iron armor on Luo Yi's body reflected a faint red reflection, as if the fire of hell was burning on his body.

"Snoring..."

The steed under Luo Yi's crotch snorted heavily, and finally stopped at the far left of the formation.

"Keng..."

With the ear-piercing sound of gold and iron rubbing against each other, Luo Yi slowly drew out the sharp round moon scimitar, raised it high in the sky, and pierced straight into the sky.

The eyes of more than a thousand soldiers focused on Luo Yi's blade in an instant, like a thousand hungry wolves turning their animal eyes to their leader, the strongest, most cunning, and most ferocious wolf. .

The night was like ink, dark clouds covered the cold moon, and the howling wind covered all the slightest sounds.

The earth was horrified, and I couldn't see my fingers.

In the endless darkness, an army formation seemed to be ghost soldiers from the Nine Nether Hell, advancing silently in the darkness.

Not far away, dots of bonfires were faintly visible, which were the campsites of the Wuximan and Guiyang coalition forces.

Amidst the sound of the howling wind, there was the sound of horseshoes approaching from the front, and through the scattered firelight in the distance, one could vaguely see a horse riding like the wind galloping from the front.

It is the scout cavalry of Wuxi Man.

"instigate!"

There was an icy piercing sound, and a sharp mace arrow shot, accurately piercing the throat of the Wuximan scout.

The Wuximan scout widened his eyes in horror and opened his mouth wide to shout, but sadly found that he could never make any sound.

"Puda!"

The lifeless corpse fell from the horse's back. In the darkness, only the frightened war horse galloped into the distance.
