Chapter 59: Shadows
Yan Shao's words made the banquet cold for a while, even those subordinates closed their mouths and didn't dare to move, Wang Xuan looked at Yan Shao in disbelief, and didn't dare to imagine that the previous words would actually be said by him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yan Shao was playing with the wine glass next to him, as if what he said before was not what he said at all.
After a long while, I heard Wang Xuan say coldly. "The envoy's previous words were not threatening the county..."
The faces of those officials in Le'an County also showed anger.
Although Le'an County is not a big county, let alone Beihai, it is not so threatening.
The generals of Le'an County even drew the swords at their waists, causing a burst of exclamations. Just before they could make a move, they saw that Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others, who were accompanying Yan Shao, had already drawn out their ring knives and pointed at them. Thinking of the bravery of these people on the battlefield, those generals of Le'an County did not dare to act rashly, which made Wang Xuan's face embarrassed.
"Shao's words are purely out of public intentions, how can you talk about threats, I believe you also know that Le'an is not safe at the moment, and there is a Deng An, as well as Zhao An and Li An. As soon as we left Beihai, it is not possible that a group of yellow scarves will come to Le'an..."As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup, Yan Shao looked at the generals behind Wang Xuan and smiled lightly. "Prince, let's think about it carefully, is it worth it to bear the name of treachery for the sake of more than a hundred military horses..."
Without waiting for Wang Xuan to answer, Yan Shao had already turned around and left.
Tai Shici, Guan Hai and others followed in turn, and when they passed by those generals, Guan Hai sneered, causing embarrassment on the faces of those generals.
After leaving the banquet, Yan Shao did not continue to stay in Linji, but went out of the city to Daying.
Signaling Tai Shici and the others to sort out the soldiers and horses, ready to go back to Beihai at any time, Yan Shao also looked at Linji City.
If Wang Xuan goes back on his word, Yan Shaozhi really doesn't mind making a cameo appearance in Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, anyway, there are indeed a lot of genuine Yellow Turbans under his command...

At the same time, in the county guard's mansion in Le'an County, after thinking for a long time, Wang Xuan sighed abruptly. "Prepare it, transport the grain and grass promised to Beihai out of the city, and as for the promised military horses, the old man will personally go and talk to him..."
Hearing Wang Xuan's decision, the officials and staff in the mansion were surprised.
"Envoy, why did you agree to that Yan Shao's conditions..."
"That's right, envoy, that Yan Shao is obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob, even if he is strong and strong in the North Sea, we may not be afraid of them, is it possible that they dare to loot us like the yellow scarf..."
Looking at the faces of these people, Wang Xuan sneered in his heart, especially those generals, if it weren't for their incompetence, how could Wang Xuan agree to such conditions. However, he also knew that his county guard was only temporary, and if he wanted to sit in this position, he couldn't do without the support of these people in front of him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan explained.
"Princes, please think about it carefully, Deng An's thief is dead, is Le'an County safe? That Deng An is just one of the many yellow turban leaders in Qingzhou, and now he is dead, just like a tiger with one less minions, although it hurts to the tiger, it does not hurt its life..."
"On the other hand, Yan Shao, although he is young now, he is tantamount to a tiger, we have already offended one tiger, how can we offend the other? Even if that tiger is chained and can't hurt people, what should we do if several other Qingzhou yellow turbans come to commit it? β
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they already understood what Wang Xuan meant.
Although the whole of Le'an County was very reluctant, in the end, Wang Xuan handed over the promised reward to Yan Shao. The reason is the same as Yan Shao said, unless Wang Xuan and the others plan to disappear with the city, the only way is to obediently fulfill their promise.
At present, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has indeed been hit hard, and even Deng An, one of the largest leaders of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, has died in the battle, but this does not mean that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will not work. As long as there is a thorn like Jiao He in Qingzhou, the chaos will not be quelled.
Whether it is the Yellow Turban Army or the thieves all over Qingzhou, these people were good people in the past, but because they really couldn't survive anymore, they had to take this dangerous road.
No matter how powerful Yan Shao is, he can only manage one county in Beihai, in addition to Beihai County, there are several counties in Qingzhou, and in addition to Beihai County, there are more or less yellow turban troubles...
If Wang Xuan is treacherous, of course Yan Shao has nothing to do with him, after all, the Han family is now a thin camel bigger than a horse, as long as the Han family has not completely lost its dignity, Yan Shao must abide by some superficial rules.
But this does not mean that when Linjun is in danger, Yan Shao must go up to help for free.
If there is a yellow turban attacking Le'an next time, it is natural for Yan Shao not to help, this is what Wang Xuan has to think about more. Of course, he wants to be the county guard of this Le'an County, but if Le'an County is about to destroy the city in a blink of an eye, then it is not interesting for this county guard to do it.

"I don't want that Wang Xuan to be so honest and obedient..."Looking back at the cart of grain and dozens of horses, Guan Hai looked a little surprised.
He remembered how bad the attitude of the people in Le'an County was when he first spoke.
"Unless the next time the Yellow Turban besieges the city, they plan to die together with the city, otherwise they must give me this reward obediently..."Yan Shao smiled and said disapprerovingly.
Not long ago, Wang Xuan had just handed over the promised Yan Shao's reward, naturally, it was impossible to get together the war horses in a hurry, after all, except for those states that produced horses, it was really not easy for other states to gather more than 100 war horses in a hurry.
Wang Xuan discussed with Yan Shao and decided to exchange some of the war horses in the agreement for grain, and finally Yan Shao left Le'an County with more than 20,000 grains and more than 70 war horses.
Looking at the carts and carts of food, it is impossible to say that the Le'an family is not distressed, if Wang Xuan hadn't escaped with them just now, I'm afraid that these losses alone would have allowed the Le'an family to knock them down.
In addition to the reward promised by Le'an County this time, Yan Shao also found a lot of gold and silver in Deng An's department, which were all trophies of the yellow turban of Deng An's department after the capture of some cities.
As thieves, they didn't have the ability to consume these gold and silver at all, and in the end, they were all cheaper than Yan Shao.
"You see, it's just a battle, and you've already gathered half of the war horses you need..."Looking at the war horses in the stable, Yan Shao laughed at Tai Shici.
"The lord is wise..."Tai Shi Ci said sincerely.
Originally, the matter of war horses bothered him the most, after all, he knew very well the meaning of five hundred war horses, which was not something that ordinary counties could afford, not to mention that Qingzhou was not rich now because of natural and man-made disasters.
Who would have thought that just a battle would reap so many benefits. Not only a large amount of grain and grass, but even a lot of war horses and gold and silver, if such a battle can come a few more times, I am afraid that it will not take long for the war horses needed by the Dare First Army to be gathered.
In fact, the benefits of this battle are not limited to these.
Now Qingzhou Thorn is incompetent, and he has hardly done anything else except for mixing with Wu Zhu all day. There is no way to deal with the Yellow Turban Rebellion all over Qingzhou, in the past, the county was besieged, and the magistrates of the county had no other way than to hold the city, if the city was breached, it was basically the result of the destruction of the city.
As for Jiaohe? Honestly, not many people really counted on him.
But now Yan Shao has come out, and even helped Le'an County solve the catastrophe.
This is tantamount to giving people another choice outside of the Qingzhou Thorn History Department...
Although Yan Shao asked for a lot of money, what was a little money in front of his life?
Don't underestimate these influences, Jiao He is orthodox in Qingzhou, this is an indisputable fact before the Han dynasty perished, but if Yan Shao's influence is higher than Jiao He, then...
Maybe Yan Shao will become a real assassin without the title of assassin...
Especially considering that Jiao and this person have to talk, it doesn't seem impossible to override this person...
But at this time, Yan Shao didn't think so much, after leaving Beihai for a long time, what he misses most now is his home in Beihai, and the two women at home who make him worry...
At the same time, in Linzi City...
"Yan Shao..." Listening to the news that came not long ago, the person in the shadow frowned slightly. I don't want Qingzhou to have such a character..."
"My lord, what should I do now? This Yan Shao is gaining momentum, and it is said that the county guards of many counties in Qingzhou are planning to go to him to seek assistance, and I am afraid that it will not be long before this continues..."A voice asked urgently, and it seemed that the voice was still a little shrill to hear.
The man in the shadows was silent for a moment, and then spoke after a long time. "I miscalculated, I thought that controlling this Jiaohe would be equivalent to controlling the entire Qingzhou, but I didn't want to kill such a character halfway..." It seems that we need to send someone to Beihai to take a look..."
