Chapter 259: Divine Decree
Xiahoudun didn't want to arrive in Youzhou immediately and have a good battle with the Xianbei thief Kou Zhenjian with real knives and guns, but now that the road is far away, he can only hope that the brothers in Youzhou can hold on and wait for the arrival of his group.
"Full speed ahead of the whole army!" A majestic voice came out of Xiahoudun's mouth, and then he saw a team of well-equipped guards rushing in all directions, and the next second, the black steel torrent opened up again and marched in the direction of Youzhou.
On the Yanzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion, Yuan Shu looked at the holy decree in his hand and showed a faint smile: "Princes, now the Xianbei thief Kou is going south to Kou Pass again, when Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to the world, hoping that the heroes of the world will send soldiers and horses to crusade against the remnants of the Xianbei clan, what should we do?" ”
Hearing this, everyone in the lobby showed a thoughtful look on their faces, and buried their heads deep in their chests, as if they were afraid of being questioned by the lord Yuan Shu, after all, they were still very afraid of this moody lord.
Yuan Shu saw that none of the people present dared to answer his question, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, he never thought of why he ended up in such a situation, is it because he confined his generals Ji Ling and Yan Xiang to his home, if it is not good to punish one or two, how can he be worthy of the prestige of the loss.
Ji Ling and Yan Xiang were defeated by Zhou Qi'er's soldiers and horses again and again, causing a certain family to be swept away, and the anger in their hearts burst out involuntarily when they thought of it, and their eyes were red and looked at everyone present, "Why are you all dumb, I can't think of a way for this little thing!" ”
The military generals who were present saw that the lord Yuan Shu was furious, and they trembled like weak and helpless chickens, for fear that the other party would become a punching bag.
"Humph! It would be nice if Yang Hong was here, so that there was no need to worry about the things in front of him, what a bunch of waste! Yuan Shu's eyes like poisonous snakes stared at the people present, but he couldn't help but think of Yang Hong's guy in his heart, although this person was a little arrogant, but at least some real talents were not.
"My lord, now is the time when we need everyone to brainstorm, and we need a first-class military general to sit in charge, do you think you can invite Mr. Yan Xiang and General Ji Ling?" A military general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked at Yuan Shu in the first place and said cautiously, for fear that the other party would be angry and suffer an unwarranted disaster.
"Huh?" Yuan Shu looked at the person who came, but Chen Lan couldn't help but hum, and the other party was so frightened that his body trembled slightly when he saw this, and he was about to beg for mercy.
"Humph! What you kid said is not unreasonable, in that case, this time you should go to the mansion of Yan Xiang and Ji Ling with the order of a certain family, and invite the two of them to participate in the meeting! Yuan Shu snorted coldly, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it was still well hidden, although he was dissatisfied with this person's daring to ask for Ji Ling and Yan Xiang, but compared to those Wenchen generals who were like ostriches, it was much better.
The big stone that Chen Lan had lifted high in her heart could finally be put down safely, and she clasped her fists with both hands and bowed slightly and strode towards the outside of the mansion.
Yuan Shu looked at Chen Lan who was far away, her eyes slowly closed, as if she had fallen into a fake sleep, and everyone around her didn't dare to make a sound when they saw this, as if they were afraid of waking up the lord.
When Jingzhou was in the Xianbei clan and went south to Kouguan, there were already members of the bloody team who sent the secret report to Guo Jia's desk, Guo Jia looked at the secret report in his hand and hurriedly rushed to the direction of the mansion of the lord Zhou Qi.
It was night, a team of Jingzhou troops holding blazing torches, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post carefully patrolled, even Liu Gang, who was proficient in the way of assassination, could not take a step beyond the thunder pool in the defense like a net.
Zhou Qi sat in the first place, looking at the people below with a gloomy expression: "Princess, I hope you will forgive me for the trouble I have to find you so late, but you should take a look at this secret report first!" As he spoke, he handed the letterhead in his hand to his brother Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu took the letterhead and opened it to read it quickly at a glance and ten lines, the look on his face also slowly changed, and everyone present looked at the letterhead in the hand of the eldest prince and also had a trace of doubt in their hearts, what could make the other party who was unable to collapse in front of him and not change his color.
"Whew!" Zhou Yu closed the letterhead in his hand and exhaled involuntarily, and then handed it to Mr. Tian Feng beside him, who took the letterhead and was about to read it when he felt that there seemed to be many more people around him, and obviously couldn't help but be curious to witness it.
Time passed minute by minute, and after seeing the last person finish reading the letterhead in his hand, Zhou Qi involuntarily stretched out his hands and rubbed his swollen temples, and a cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Zhugong, now that the Xianbei thief Kou is going south to Kou Pass again, how should we face it?" ”
Facing the lord's inquiry, Guo Jia on the side hurriedly stepped out, clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord, I am now preparing to be the fishermen of Lu Bu and Liu Zhang, how can we be distracted by other things at such an important moment?" Obviously, the moment I saw the letterhead, I had already thought about the priority of the matter and analyzed it thoroughly, so I made a list of suggestions at the moment when the lord's voice fell. 90 look
"Lord, Weichen agrees with Feng Kao's suggestion, after all, now that we are planning Yizhou, how can we put aside such a top priority because of the Xianbei thief Kou going south to Kouguan, besides, Jingzhou is far away from Youzhou and is not suitable for the Long March!" Xi Zhicai also made suggestions at the moment when his friend Guo Jia's voice fell.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi looked at the people in front of him, as if he was asking if they all agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion.
Everyone in the hall felt the lord's gaze and nodded involuntarily, obviously agreeing with Guo Jia's suggestion, after all, in the end of the expedition to Youzhou, not only did their own side not get any benefits, but also thankless, it was better to wait for Liu Zhang to send a messenger to ask for help, and it was a good deal to secretly seize Yizhou!
"Princess, I didn't come to the rescue in the depths of the people of Youzhou last time, if this time it is still like this, will it be difficult to block the mouth of the people in the world?" Zhou Qi was a little worried in his heart, and asked again at the moment.
Guo Jia showed a faint smile on his face when he heard this, and then untied the wine gourd on his waist, opened the wine stopper, and suddenly the intoxicating aroma of wine wafted throughout the hall.
"Boom! Boom! After some drinking, Guo Jia looked at the people around him with a ruddy face, and slowly spoke: "Lord! Neither nor not! If we send soldiers and horses to Youzhou, it will be surprising, but it will be more reassuring to stay at home honestly for those heroes, you think about whether we need to go to Youzhou through other heroes' territory, Jingzhou elite in the other party's territory, if you would think? ”
In the face of Guo Jia's inquiry, Zhou Qi showed a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and had to admit that what the other party said was not unreasonable, I am afraid that if he sees such an elite army coming to the territory, he will prepare soldiers and horses to follow it firmly as soon as possible, and if he attacks the city, he can counterattack.
It seems that he really should stay in Jingzhou honestly as the other party said, Zhou Qi stretched out his left hand and involuntarily touched his bearded chin, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Lord, besides, we need to believe in your ally Cao Cao Cao Mengde, after all, the other party's command is sometimes extraordinarily strong, but not to mention Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, even Xiahou Dun, Cheng Yu and others are not Xianbei thieves who can fight against existence!" The more Guo Jia spoke, the clearer his thinking became, and he said all the things that everyone hadn't thought of.
The Wenchen generals present nodded involuntarily when they heard this, obviously for Guo Jia's analysis, even if he was a strategist, he had to nod, and he admired his friend's strength very much.
Zhou Qi was about to take Guo Jia's suggestion when he heard a crisp knock on the door outside the room, "My lord, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be the messenger of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty asking to see you!" ”
Zhou Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that there would be a messenger asking to see him at this time, but he still let people bring him in.
After a while, the door was carefully opened from the outside, and a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian in a somewhat messy manner walked in.
The people who came looked at the people in the hall, and they were full of spirit and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but when they saw Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, the first big man in the distance, he walked forward quickly, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed slightly, and said, "The prince of the lower official waiter, please meet the master of the horse!" ”
Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran were slightly stunned when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect that this person was actually a courtier loyal to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Cheng, who was rejected by his eldest brother outside the border of Jingzhou, looked at the prompt sound in his head and didn't think about choosing it directly, after all, he still knew more or less about this person.
"I hope you will forgive me for coming to disturb me at this moment, but there is a reason for the incident, I hope you can send soldiers and horses to Youzhou to pacify the Xianbei thieves after reading the holy decree, and return the Han world to a bright future!" As he spoke, he put his hand in his arms as if he were groping for something.
Seeing the prince's clothes like this, the surrounding Wenchen generals subconsciously put their hands on the weapons on their waists, and if the other party dared to show a trace of murderous intent, they would face a storm-like blow.
After a while, the prince took out a golden holy decree, and looked at the first big man with a solemn expression, Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, "Take the decree!" ”
Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran heard this, a strange color flashed on their faces, but they still got up and knelt down on one knee in front of the other party, raising their hands high, and the surrounding Wenchen generals knelt down one by one when they saw this, waiting for the other party to read the holy decree.
"The Divine Decree has arrived! Ordered the horse master Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran to lead his soldiers and horses north to Youzhou to pacify the Xianbei thieves, and promote my Han Tianwei, admire this! "A majestic voice sounded in the ears of the people... to be continued
