Zhao Yi groped his chin and walked two steps, suddenly paused and thought of one thing, and hurried to Lu Zhi's camp. Liu Bei and the three of them had already arrived here.

"Bolai, I have newly received the news from Tanma that Zhang Jiao's defeated army has arrived in Handan, and there are also changes in Yingchuan's Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's departments." Lu Zhi beckoned Zhao Yi and pointed a few places on the map with his hand, "We are moving this way, General Huangfu and General Zhu are following the movement of the enemy army." The soldiers and horses of Bolai and Xuande can quickly set out to avoid the convergence of the enemy army. "Lu Zhi also has the intention of going south with the army, wanting to besiege and annihilate Zhang Jiao.

The inevitable defeat of the Yellow Turban Army could be foreseen after the Battle of Guangzong, and Zhao Yi did not put forward any other views and followed Lu Zhi's arrangement. After Lu Zhi set the date for leaving the army, Zhao Yi asked: "Did Zuo Feng ask the general for a bribe last night?" ”

Lu Zhi was a little strange: "Bolai really has unpredictable abilities, there were only Zuo Feng and me in the tent last night, how did Bolai know?" But when it happened, I replied, 'There is still a shortage of military rations, and there is money left to flatter the angels.' Zuo Feng brushed his sleeves away when he heard this, "Lu Zhi's anger was re-provoked, "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that he was sent by the imperial court, Ben Jiang would have commanded him to behead him left and right last night." ”

Zhang Fei admired Lu Zhi's fierceness: "For those eunuchs, it should be like this, let them know that there are not only sycophants and officials in the world who flatter them." ”

Zhao Yi said what he had just seen in Dong Zhuo's camp: "General, I'd rather offend a gentleman than a boy, and you must be on guard against Zuo Feng and Dong Zhuo." ”

"At this time, the eunuchs were in power, and the government was **. General, if you offend the eunuchs, I am afraid that you will have an unforeseen disaster. Zhao Yi kindly reminded that Zuo Feng was still in the camp at this time, if Lu Zhi went with gifts and comforted him with words, Zuo Feng and other people who saw money and opened their eyes would definitely forget their previous unhappiness.

Lu Zhi stared at Zhao Yi: "I, Lu Zhi, am a dignified man, how can I bow down to serve the eunuchs." I don't believe that this little eunuch has such ability, in addition to the ten permanent servants, there are many loyal people in the court. Can they still cover the sky with one hand? ”

Zhao Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lu Zhi: "I already have an idea about this matter, and I want to talk about it." ”

is upright, he is a rare good official, but it is a pity that he did not meet a good court or a Ming lord. Since Lu Zhi didn't listen to persuasion, Zhao Yi had no choice but to ask Lu Zhi: "Can the general borrow a thousand soldiers and horses from the last general, and let my deputy general Yang Yu lead the captured Yellow Turban Army into Youzhou." ”

Lu Zhi nodded in response, the army was about to go out, and it was very troublesome for these prisoners to accompany the army. Agreed to Zhao Yi's proposal. Lu Zhi stroked his beard: "I heard from the captured Yellow Turban Army that there are Yellow Turban thieves in Qingyun who have 30,000 stone of grain in stock, and when I sent someone to see it yesterday, the granary was clean and there was not a grain of rice. Bolai, do you know what's going on? ”

Zhao Yi naturally couldn't say that the grain had been transported back to Youzhou by Dian Wei: "The last general didn't know, the time was tight that day, and the last general didn't dare to stop when he broke Zhang Jiao, and went directly to Song Liu, and the last general didn't see the grain and grass." ”

"Hey, could it be that the Yellow Turban thief went and returned, it is impossible, Zhang Jiao has been newly defeated, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he should flee to a place far away from the official army to recuperate. Then where did the 30,000 stone grain that disappeared go, it's really strange. Lu Zhi couldn't figure it out, after learning that the Yellow Turban Army had arrived, the people within a radius of dozens of miles had already scattered and fled, and it was impossible and did not dare to go to Qingyun.

Zhao Yi saw the right time to retreat, and walked out of the camp to see Zuo Feng leaving here. Zuo Feng has a very good impression of Zhao Yi, this young man can speak and do things, unlike Dong Zhuo, who was completely smashed with money, and arched his hand to Zhao Yi: "General Zhao's entrustment, I will help the general do it when I return to the capital." ”

"I'm annoying you."

Zhao Yi led a thousand soldiers back to the camp and beckoned Yang Yu to come over: "These four thousand captive soldiers, please bring them back to Lord Taishou." ”

Yang Yu didn't expect Zhao Yi to be so generous, handed over all the captives to Liu Yan, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize: "I misunderstood the adult's private capture of the prisoner before, and I really spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, please condemn the adult." ”

"General Yang is also doing things for Taishou, what a crime." Zhao Yi hurriedly helped Yang Yu up. explained a few words to Yang Yu and the departure time, and then entered the barracks to rectify the soldiers so that they could send troops tomorrow.

"My lord, it's better to go to Yingchuan with the last general, this trip is far away, if the adult has any mistakes, the last general will not go away in his heart." After Yang Yu left, Zhao Yi had no generals around him to protect him, and in case of danger, Zhao Yi would not be able to protect his life as a civil official.

Zhao Yi understood Yang Yu's thoughts: "General Yang don't worry, we will merge with General Liu's soldiers and horses, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all tiger generals in the world, you don't have to worry about my safety." Escorting these captives requires a safe man, and you are the best person. ”

Now that Zhao Yi had already said this, Yang Yu had no choice but to bow down and accept the order.

More than 7,000 people from the Zhao-Liu coalition army set off for Yingchuan first, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others saw off at the city gate, and when they saw the obvious Dong mark on the horses of Zhao Yi's subordinates, Dong Zhuo hated Zhao Yi's teeth.

Zhao Yi not only cheated him a lot of money and food, but also cheated him with nearly 3,000 war horses. Last night, before Zhao Yi sent out his troops, he went to Zhao Yi's camp to ask for horses.

Zhao Yi said very well, every time his elite wins, he wins with a surprise attack, if Dong Zhuo wants to leave the horse, his soldiers will have to move their legs to fight with the other party, where is the chance of winning.

And Zhao Yi also found Lu Zhi as a guarantee, explaining that it was borrowed, and if he returned from Yingchuan, the horses would be returned. Lu Zhi agreed.

When Zhao Yi came back, Lu Zhi still didn't know where he was, and there was no guarantor at that time, so Zhao Yi naturally wouldn't admit it.

What Zhao Yi said in the camp tent earlier made Liu Bei worried: "What is the basis for what Bo Lai said in the camp tent the day before yesterday, why did he conclude that General Lu would have an unforeseen disaster?" "Guangzong annihilated tens of thousands of enemies in this battle, and severely frustrated the spirit of Zhang Jiao's army, which can be said to be a credit to Sheji, even if there is frivolity, the punishment will not be very large, and it should not be as serious as Zhao Yi said.

Zhao Yi stared at Liu Bei and smiled, Liu Bei broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and did not return to Youzhou but came to Guangzong, but he just wanted to behave better in front of the teacher, hoping that Lu Zhi could use the relationship between North Korea and China to recommend his position. If Lu Zhi's big tree fell, Liu Bei's thoughts would be in vain. "Brother Xuande has never been to the capital, and he doesn't know the status of the Ten Standing Servants in the court, they are extremely powerful in the court, and some lower-level county officials are mostly their relatives, and they can almost give orders on behalf of the Son of Heaven." Seeing that Liu Bei's face changed, Zhao Yi's voice changed: "However, there are still many adults in the court who are not afraid of power, and the ten permanent servants may not condemn the meritorious General Lu because of Zuo Feng's words." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "Borrow the auspicious words of Brother Bolai." ”

Crossing the border of Gwangjong and entering Gwangpyeong, this county seems to have not been baptized by war, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is even a small market. It can be regarded as a haven of tranquility in troubled times.

Wherever Zhao Yi and Liu Bei's army walked, the people poked their heads out to watch. Zhao Yi asked several people about the situation of the Yellow Turban Army. The villagers said they had never met them. "It is said that the official army and the Yellow Turban Army fought a decisive battle against Guangzong, and the radius of dozens of miles was deserted, and the people were displaced, but we saw many people fleeing from Guangzong."

However, there was a young man who had news about the Yellow Turban Army, saying that a companion saw the Yellow Turban Army running south along the Taihang Mountains.

That's right, run along the Taihang Mountains, if the situation is unfavorable, immediately drill into the Taihang Mountains, the mountains are full of branches and leaves, and you can't see people when you walk a few steps, which is indeed easy to hide.

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei marched along Taihang Mountain, and there were really some unexpected gains, and several Yellow Turban thieves were exterminated along the way, all of which were small teams of one or two hundred people, and there was no need for Zhao Yi to make a move, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led a thousand cavalry to attack, and more than 100 people fell under the horse. Faced with more than a hundred heads, everyone did not go up and cut off the heads to show merit.

This is not when you are in the county seat, you can exchange money and food with the county magistrate. There is no way to keep it fresh, and the head will rot after two or three days of carrying.

"Brother Bolai, our route is correct, the Yellow Turban Thieves are fleeing along this route, we will first kill the Yellow Turban Army left along the way, and then drive straight into the round with General Huangfu." Liu Bei stared ahead, his eyes flashing.

Zhao Yi nodded in agreement, but from the captured Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yi knew that the current leader of the Yellow Turban Army going south was not Zhang Jiao, but the general who had fled in a fierce battle with the official army in Song Liu that day.

In case the situation changed, Zhao Yi sent a few fast horses to report the news to Lu Zhi.

"Can you believe the Yellow Turban Thief?" Zhang Fei snorted.

Zhao Yi was used to Zhang Fei's reckless personality and didn't care: "A Yellow Turban may lie, but the captured Yellow Turban Army says so, then there is a problem." ”

"Well, we can't let anything suspicious go." Liu Bei agreed with Zhao Yi's words.

At this time, Tanma came over to announce the news: "General, there is a village five miles ahead. ”

"Lead the way!" At this time, it was getting dark, Zhao Yi and Liu Bei were still discussing the issue of camping just now, there was a village in front of them, and the two had a tacit understanding to set the camping point in that village.

The more he walked in, the more Zhao Yi felt that there was something strange in this village, at this time the sun was setting and there should be a burst of smoke, but not only was there no cooking smoke in the village, but there were no people walking on the streets. Let a few soldiers go in to have a look, and when they came back, their faces changed: "My lord, this is a dead village." ”

The village was slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army, and the corpses of the people fell to the ground, and the smell of blood was faintly smellable.

"Let's camp here." Zhao Yi gave the order.

The soldiers found a relatively spacious and bright courtyard for Zhao Yi and the others. Zhao Yi and the others entered the courtyard and did not wait to enter the house. I heard a shout from behind: "Mother, I'm back!" "Appearing at the door was a mighty young man with a long bow on his back.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Zhao Yi and the others in the courtyard: "Who are you?" Why are you here? Then he stepped into the house.

Then there was a grief-stricken cry from inside the house, the young man's eyes were red, and he pulled out his sword and pointed it at Zhao Yi: "What did you do?!" Without waiting for Zhao Yi and the others to distinguish, the tip of the sword stabbed towards Zhao Yi with his waist.
