Chapter 423: Target Langya
In the Taishan County Taishou Mansion, Taishan Taishou Ying Shao listened to the situation of his subordinates with an ugly face at the moment, and asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that there was a big battle in Black Crow Mountain, and that gang of thieves who don't know their origin have defeated Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li?"
The subordinate was also stunned by Ying Shao's attitude at this time, and said in a daze: "Yes, yes, that's it."
"Stand down." Ying Shao glanced at this guy and let him leave, and his subordinates also left in a panic after getting Ying Shao's order.
If it was usual, this subordinate would definitely be reprimanded for acting like this, because Ying Shao has always been very strict with etiquette, but today, Ying Shao has no heart to think about this.
A group of thieves of unknown origin appeared in Taishan County, and successively said that all the four robbers of Taishan were defeated, it can be said that this gang of thieves is now the largest group of thieves in Taishan County, so that Ying Shao did not know what to do for a while.
Ying Shao belonged to Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao was still fighting with Lu Bu, competing for the position of the lord of Yanzhou, and it was difficult to draw troops to deal with the thieves in Taishan County. Fortunately, there were many major bandits in Taishan County before, and it was difficult to form a system, although the strength was strong, but after all, it was a mess of scattered sand, although Ying Shao could not solve these bandit forces, but these bandit forces could not pose any substantial threat to the rule of Taishan County Taishoufu.
But now it is different, Chang Xuan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Sun Guan, the four most powerful Kou in Taishan County, have been defeated by this gang of forces, and even the four Kou of Taishan, who were once famous in Taishan County, are only Sun Guan left. More importantly, they defeated the original Taishan Sikou, and this new gang of thieves already had the strength to threaten the Taishan County Taishou Mansion.
If it was other times, Ying Shao would not be afraid, but now, Cao Cao gathered a large number of soldiers and horses to fight for Yanzhou with Lu Bu, and there are almost no soldiers in Taishan County today, only county soldiers used to maintain law and order. If at this time, this group of newborn thieves had some undeserved thoughts about Taishan County's Taishou Mansion, then Ying Shao didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a long time, Ying Shao finally wrote a letter asking for help on a piece of paper and handed it to his cronies, asking him to quickly send the letter to Cao Cao's location, so that Cao Cao would know the current situation in Taishan County.
After Huang Yi improved papermaking and printing, paper became popular all over the world, and this new clean and simple text carrier was also loved by many literati and artists all over the world. Ying Shao, as the Taishan County Guard, naturally got some paper.
After his cronies left with a letter asking for help, Ying Shao did not sit still, and ordered people to gather all the troops that could be used in Taishan County.
Even if he knew that it might not have any effect, Ying Shao was unwilling to sit still. If this group of newborn thieves doesn't think about where they are, it would be the best, and if the situation reaches the worst moment, Ying Shao is not without the power to fight back.
When Ying Shao became worried because of the change in the bandit force in Taishan County, the leader of the new thief force in Taishan County that he was worried about did not think of Ying Shao at this moment, let alone hit Taishan County with his idea.
Yuan Yao's target has always been Xuzhou, a small Taishan County, except for a bunch of bandits and grass bandits, there is nothing, and Yuan Yao can't have the idea of forcibly occupying it. Moreover, Taishan County is now Cao Cao's territory, although Yuan Yao is not afraid of Cao Cao, and even knows that there will be a battle between him and Cao Cao sooner or later, but at this time, the target of Yuan Shu's forces is not Cao Cao.
Perhaps the Yuan Shu forces would make a move on Yanzhou, but that was at the end or end of Cao Cao's struggle for Yanzhou, and at this time, suddenly entering Yanzhou would only make Lu Bu and Cao Cao stop fighting and join forces against foreign forces.
In a deep mountain, Yuan Yao looked at the three thousand thieves in front of him who had been trained by Zang Ba Hell for several days, and smiled slightly.
I have to say that Zang Ba still has a certain amount of talent, and he was able to train 3,000 grass robbers in just a few days to look like a regular army.
Of course, being able to train such a little effect in such a short period of time is also due to the two brothers Sun Guan and Sun Kang, and Sun Guan and Sun Kang's performance has also initially won Yuan Yao's trust, although it is not completely trusted, but it is already a very good progress in Sun Guan.
At least it's better than not being trusted by Yuan Yao all the time.
"Go, goal, Xuzhou!"
Riding on the demon horse, Li Ye, Wei Yan, Yu She, Qi Ji, Qin Yi, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Sun Kang and others lined up. And with Yuan Yao's order, Zang Ba also hurriedly conveyed this order, and then three thousand thieves began to dispatch, marching in the direction of Xuzhou. “
Three thousand thieves marched, on top of the demon horse, Yuan Yao looked at Li Ye and asked: "Shi'an, north of Xuzhou, Liu Bei's side controls the two counties of Langya and Donghai, I don't know which county I want to choose as the breakthrough point this time."
"Langya!"
"Why?" Hearing Li Ye's answer without thinking, Yuan Yao's face showed a hint of surprise, which was different from what he had thought before.
Li Ye's face was full of confidence at this moment, and said: "Liu Bei has Mi Zhu under his command, this person is the current head of the Mi family in the East China Sea, although he is young, but he is quite talented, the Mi family has become the first wealthy merchant in Xuzhou under his leadership, and the control of the East China Sea, where he started, is also very strong, and it is not a good choice to attack the East China Sea." And Langya is different, Cao Cao slaughtered the people in Langya before, even if Langya belongs to Liu Bei in the end, it is impossible to recover in a short time, if you want to achieve the goal of the son, Langya is the most suitable. “
Li Ye's eyes were gloomy at the moment, and he continued: "And according to some ways of his subordinates, after we left Qingzhou, Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou with Zhang Fei and Sun Qian, and Xuzhou at this moment is Guan Hai, Wu Anguo and Mi Zhu, which is a great opportunity."
Yuan Yao looked at Li Ye, and couldn't help but feel a trace of coldness in his heart.
Li Ye is also a ruthless person, even when he mentioned his enemy Cao Cao, he didn't bring emotions, such a person is the most terrifying, but fortunately, now Li Ye is his own subordinate.
Moreover, Yuan Yao had already found a position for Li Ye that was most suitable for him.
