After Yuan Yi got the military information from Zhang Dingbian, he hurriedly sent someone to Shouchun to inform Yuan Yao of the matter, and after the messenger left, Yuan Yi sent scouts in the army to follow Zhang Dingbian to investigate the specific military situation, and at the same time reorganized the troops and horses to arrange the city defense to avoid the Chaohu bandit army from attacking the city.

The Hefei messenger hurried all the way to the starry night, and finally arrived in Shouchun the next day, and met Yuan Yao to report the discovery of Zheng Bao's army in Chaohu and the plot against Hefei City.

After Yuan Yao got the military information, he hurriedly summoned everyone to come to discuss the matter, Pang Tong, Liu Ye, Li Siye, Yang Zaixing, Huo Jun, Wei Yan and Zhang Xun and others were all in this list, after everyone arrived, Yuan Yao first said that Zheng Bao gathered 20,000 troops in Chaohu and planned to attack Hefei City.

"Gentlemen, who is this Chaohu Zheng Bao, do any of you know anything about him?"

After Yuan Yao finished speaking, Liu Ye stepped forward and bowed: "Lord, this person's reputation has heard of some when he was in Lujiang. Zheng Bao was a strong party at the beginning, and was valued by the rangers and chivalrous men in Yangzhou, and later he fled to Chaohu Lake because he offended the Gaomen clan. This person is brave and resolute, with outstanding talent and force, coupled with the abundance of materials in Chaohu, he quickly gathered a lot of power. After the chaos in the world, the people everywhere suffered from the war and fled one after another, and most of the scholars and people of the Lujiang generation went to Chaohu to join him, so Zheng Bao soon completely gathered tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"In addition to Zheng Bao, there are many large and small forces in Chaohu, but most of these forces are ordinary, and only two forces are worth paying attention to, that is, Zhang Duo and Xu Qian, who followed Zheng Bao to send troops this time. Although these two people are not as talented and courageous as Zheng Bao, they have also accumulated a lot of power, and they also have thousands of soldiers and horses under their command to call on. Chaohu Lake has a complex environment and many bandits, and it is extremely difficult to clear them, and Zheng Bao and others have no intention of fighting for hegemony, so none of the princes on all sides are willing to spend energy to eliminate them, so they have survived until now. ”

When Yuan Yao heard that the so-called Zheng Bao army was just a water bandit, he was relieved, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph! I also said who this Zheng Bao is, it turns out that he is just a water bandit! No one was willing to purge them before, but since they provoked me, I had to be prepared to bear the wrath of the general! If they dare to go ashore, I'll leave them all behind!" I was still worried about how to train the navy, but now it seems that as long as Zheng Bao and the others' subordinates are annexed, the navy can be completed quickly! Not only that, after eliminating Zheng Bao and others, our army can also take this opportunity to clear Chaohu Lake in one fell swoop as a base for our army to develop a navy. ”

When Yuan Yao said this, he first glanced at everyone, and then continued: "I personally lead the Tiger Ben Army to Hefei to ambush the Chaohu bandit army, what do you think?" ”

Pang Tong frowned and thought for a while, then stepped forward and bowed: "Lord, the minister thinks that this matter should not be so simple. ”

Yuan Yao didn't expect Pang Tong to speak at this time, and asked suspiciously, "Oh? What does Shiyuan mean? ”

Pang Tong stroked his short beard and said: "About Zheng Bao, the minister also knows a little bit about this person, this person is just like Mr. Ziyang said, brave and resolute, and extraordinary, which has accumulated a lot of power in Chaohu." In the understanding of the minister, this person is not a short-sighted person with a desire for profit, he will not think that if he dares to attack the Lord of Hefei, he will definitely use all his strength to eliminate it, especially now when the Lord is in full swing, he should not send troops at this time. In the minister's opinion, this matter is really a bit strange, and the minister thinks that since he dares to send troops at this time, he should have something to ......"

"Report! Yin Ling urgent! ”

While Pang Tong was speaking, suddenly a guard ran in with a bloodstained sergeant shouting all the way.

When Yuan Yao saw the situation outside, he was shocked, and said urgently: "Quickly bring this person in." ”

The bloodstained sergeant was supported by two guards into the hall, fell to the ground with a 'plop', and said urgently: "My lord, the rebel generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan led 30,000 troops to smuggle across the Huaishui in Dangtu last night, and attacked Yinling City at dawn today. ”

The sergeant said, 'Bang! Bang! Bang! He kowtowed to Yuan Yao three times, and then continued with a whimper: "Yinling City was surrounded and killed by the enemy, and I was the only one of the four thousand soldiers and horses who broke through, and the rest were all wiped out!" Please also ask the lord to raise troops to avenge General Lu and his brothers who died in battle! ”

"Please avenge us! Avenge!!! ”

The sergeant finally let out a loud shout and fell to the ground with a 'bang', completely fainting.

What the!

Lu Mian died in the Yin Tomb!

The 4,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, and only one escaped!

Yuan Yao was almost a little dumbfounded when he heard this......

Lu Mian can be said to be the first general to die in battle under Yuan Yao, although this person is not valued by Yuan Yao, but after all, this person is a veteran left by Yuan Shu, and was appointed by Yuan Yao as the lieutenant of a county, which can be said to be an extraordinary status; The annihilation of 4,000 soldiers and horses is also the largest battle loss under Yuan Yao's command, the previous battle of Lujiang was first an ambush and then a surprise attack, the results were extraordinary, the casualties were very small, and there was not even a fraction of the damage in this battle.

Yuan Yao heard the news that Lu Mian was killed in battle and the bloody number of 4,000 soldiers and horses, so he was completely aware......

What is the battle field?

What is the Troubled Times!

What is called a will be a success and ten thousand bones are dry!

Zhang Xun and Lu Mian have been under the command of Yuan Shu for more than ten years, and they have a very good friendship and are like brothers, after hearing the news of Lu Mian's death, Zhang Xun was also stunned in shock.

However, after all, Zhang Xun has been on the battlefield for a long time and has an extraordinary heart, and soon sobered up, fell to the ground with grief in his eyes, and cried: "Lord! Please also ask the lord to send troops to avenge Brother Lu! ”

Yuan Yao came back to his senses after hearing Zhang Xun's cry, this is a success, no wonder the monarch has to have an iron-blooded heart, if there is no iron-blooded heart, how can he face these tens of millions of dry bones!

However, since we have come to this iron-blooded and ruthless era, since we have embarked on the road of no return to the troubled times and hegemony, it is useless to think about anything else, and I can only shoulder all the expectations all the way now!

Carrying the weight forward, walking on thin ice, that's all!

Yuan Yao's state of mind finally completed a transformation at this time, from a street-fighting author to a monarch in troubled times!
