Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: I help Lao Cao fight the country

"The other [-] army led by Jia Xu, although there are many people, but their army is patchwork, including Taishan Army, Qingzhou Army led by two traitors Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and Jia Xu's headquarters.

Their combat power should not be strong, and it shouldn't be a problem to order the eldest son to stop them with all his strength. "

After Yuan Shao heard Xu You's analysis, he nodded frequently!

"Well, what Xu You said makes sense, what do you guys think?"

Guo Tudao: "The barbarians from the grassland are attacking our army's border at this time. I think it must be that Cao Ang promised them something good, otherwise they would never join in the fun! I think that as long as the second son is asked to keep an eye on Gongsun Zan, and Wuhuan People, General Gao Gan can divide his troops to defend against the barbarians, and the Lord can deal with Cao Ang with all his heart. It's just..."

Guo Tu changed the subject and continued: "At this moment, Cao Ang chose to suddenly attack our land in Hebei, there must be someone bewitching him!"

Yuan Shao: "Oh! What the public rule refers to!"

"I think it must be Qu Yi. If Qu Yi didn't lead the way, how could Lu Bu capture Li Yang so quickly!"

Yuan Shao thought about it and felt that this possibility is really possible!

So he asked Han Meng, "Han Meng! Have you seen Qu Yi's men?"

Han Meng pondered for a while and said, "My lord, although the last general didn't see Qu Yi, but the spies reported that there was indeed a banner with the word Qu in Cao's army!"

"Hmph! Ma De! Qu Yi, a rebellious boy, has really taken refuge in Cao Ang. It seems that I have not misread him!"

Xu You, Shen Pei and others slandered in their hearts: You didn't force this!

However, no one dared to speak out.

Guo Tu said again: "My lord, since Qu Yi has rebelled, why don't we use his family to threaten him to rebel again, and then we can kill him again!"

Yuan Shao nodded: "Well, well, this is a good way, then let you do it!"

Some righteous people in the hall couldn't help but despise Guo Tu's actions.

But it's just contempt, anyone who speaks for Qu Yi's family at this time is courting death.

Guo Tu was overjoyed, this kind of thing was simply his favorite!

"My lord, I'm too young to do it now!"

"Well, let's go!"

Guo Tu took the order and left the General's Mansion excitedly.

He led a few hundred soldiers straight to Qu Yi's mansion.

His family members are under house arrest in the mansion at the moment.

But a scene that made Guo Tu unbelievable appeared!

When he came to Qu Yi's mansion, he was immediately dumbfounded.

In Qu Yi's mansion at this moment, except for some insignificant old servants and maids, Qu Yi's two children, his old lady, and even his wives are all gone.

Guo Tu immediately called the officer in charge of guarding outside and asked:

"Where are the old mother, daughter-in-law, and his children of the anti-thief Qu Yi? Where have they all gone?"

The officer's face was full of confusion: "My lord! Didn't you send someone to take them away in the morning? Why are you asking me for someone again at this time?"

--

The author says:

Chapter 260

"What! Made, it's just nonsense!"

Guo Tu was furious:

"When did I ask someone to take them away!"

The officer was slobbered by Guo Tu's stinky mouth, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off. He said blankly:

"It was this morning that your subordinates, Mr. Zhang Ren and Li Da, led a team of people to take him away with your order! There are still your documents here!"

The officer actually took out a volume of documents while talking.

Guo Tu quickly took the document and opened it.

But seeing that it was indeed my own handwriting.

But he knew that he had never written such a document, let alone ordered Zhang and Li to take Qu Yi's family away!

Well, there is only one truth!

That is, Zhang Ren and Li Da falsely passed on their orders and took them away!

Guo Tu didn't understand, what was the purpose of these two people taking Qu Yi's family away?

Until this time, he did not doubt Zhang Ren's loyalty to him.

I thought it was another trick played by these two!

Just casually asked:

"Then do you know where they went?"

"I don't know about that! The humble job has been staying here, and I don't know the rest!"

Guo Tujian really couldn't ask anything out of his mouth.

Then hurried back to his home, he wanted to ask Zhang and Li, what kind of mystery was this playing!

But when he returned home, he searched the entire mansion, but still did not find the two of them.

Asked the servants, and only got the news that the two left in the morning and did not come back.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong.

He quickly brought people to Nancheng again.

The guard at the city gate saw him coming, and immediately came to greet him:

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Guo Tuguo? What kind of wind brought you to my little place!"

Guo Tu didn't have the heart to be courteous with him, and asked straight to the point:

"Let me ask you, have you seen Zhang Ren and Li Da in my mansion!"

"So you're asking them! They drove out of town in two carriages early in the morning. Why don't you know?"

"what!"

Guo Tu's mind was like a flash of thunder!

Until this time he finally understood what was going on!

"Why don't you stop them from going out of town?"

How could the guard at the city gate know the mystery here, and he said with a smile:

"Look at what you said, there is no one in the city who doesn't know that those two are celebrities under your tent! Besides, they still hold your official seal and say to take their wife out to worship ancestors, how dare I stop it! Don't say stop , I didn’t even dare to check…”

Guo Tu angrily slapped the guard directly: "Jie your uncle's ancestor!"

"Idiots! My lord is raising you for a fart! It's just that someone slipped under your noses!"

The guard looked astonished, and a little innocent:

"..."

Let's talk about Cao Ang later.

The work efficiency of the army is extremely fast.

In just one day, their disinfection work was almost done.

As for the upstream and downstream, we can only wait until the end of the war to make plans!

They sterilized all the way and came to Liyang, only one day later than Lu Bu and others.

After entering Liyang, Cao Ang frowned as he looked at the burnt city head and city gate.

It is said that water and fire are ruthless, and it is true.

At this time, the top of the city was bare, and the arrow tower was completely burned.

One of his subordinates is organizing Li Yang's people to clean up the corpses at the top of the city and the wreckage of the watchtower.

Naturally, the work of the common people here in Cao Ang is not done in vain.

According to Cao Ang's practice, as long as the people participate in the work, they will definitely receive corresponding wages or food.

At first, the common people didn't believe it, so they had no choice but to come to work.

But when they got paid for their work in the morning at noon, they looked at the food in their hands in a daze in disbelief.

So much so that when I got home, I realized that all this was true.

So in the afternoon, more and more people spontaneously came to help sort out and repair the damaged city walls.

Naturally, Cao Ang would not renege on his debt. After a short tour, he came to the City Lord's Mansion.

He called the local civil servants who hadn't had time to escape, and planned to inquire about the local disaster situation.

As soon as the civil servant entered the room, he knelt down to Cao Ang without saying a word:

"General! Although I am not a good official, I have never done anything wrong to the people. Besides, I am just a small official with a knife and a pen. Please don't kill me! I have an 80-year-old mother, and I have... ..."

Seeing his chatter, Cao Ang smiled:

"Stop! When did I say I was going to kill you!"

The civil servant quickly kowtowed to Cao Ang again:

"Thank you general for not killing me, thank you general for not killing me!..."

"Enough! If you knock again, your head will become a paste. Let me ask you, what is your name and what position do you hold in the city!"

Only then did the civil servant stop kowtowing, and his forehead was already dripping with blood.

He wiped the blood on his head: "The villain's name is Wang Jian, he is a small official in Liyang City, in charge of copywriting."

"Wang Jian, do you know that someone in the city is infected with the plague!"

This is what Cao Ang is most concerned about now. Li Yang belongs to Wei County, and Cao Ang doesn't want the plague to be rampant in the territory he took over!

When it comes to the plague, Wang Jian said very simply:

"General Qi, there is absolutely no one suffering from the plague in the city."

Cao Ang was quite surprised by this answer.

This road is full of corpses, and there are villages where no one can be seen everywhere, which shows that the plague is rampant.

And why is there no one suffering from the epidemic in this huge Liyang city?

If it is said that Yuan Shao's management is good, Cao Ang will not believe anything.

"There are no survivors in the villages tens of miles away from here, why is there no plague in Liyang?"

Cao Ang raised his doubts.

"General Qi, this was all done by the former prefect Han Meng. In order to prevent Liyang City from being infected with the epidemic, he imposed martial law earlier. Liyang City was only allowed to enter and not to leave, so that the spread of the plague in the city was controlled. .”

"Oh, so Han Meng still has some means of governing the place?"

Wang Jian hesitated and said: "There are some methods, but they are too cruel. He ordered the soldiers to set up a cordon thirty miles away, but all the people who crossed the line, whether they were infected or not, would be killed without mercy. Those who died under his butcher's knife Many more people died than the plague!"

Cao Ang was horrified, no wonder Li Yang would be fine, this Han Meng is really ruthless!

This can also explain why when I came here, I encountered so many empty villages and so many corpses!

"This Han Meng really has no conscience. As a parent official, he doesn't want to benefit the local people, but he uses such cruel methods. He really deserves to die!"

Cao Ang slapped the table angrily.

His anger frightened Wang Jian and said hurriedly: "General, please forgive me. There is no such thing as a villain here. The little one just obeys orders. He thinks he has never done anything harmful to nature!"

Cao Ang also saw that this Wang Jian was a coward, so he didn't bother to embarrass him, and asked a few more about the situation inside and outside the city, and asked someone to take him out!

After he left, Pang Tong turned blue with anger and said, "This Han Meng is really a beast. He completely regards human life as worthless. He is worse than a pig or a dog!"

Chapter 261

"This villain who disregards human life, don't get caught by me, I will definitely tear him to pieces!!"

At this time, Han Meng had been sentenced to death in Cao Ang's heart.
