Chapter 122: Yuan Ping's chase, Liyang's dark tide (congratulatory to the helmsman of the lonely sail boat)
The night was silent, and in the early morning of the next day, Yuan Ping, dressed in military uniform, rushed to the Taishou Mansion from the military camp outside the city.
"Fifth brother, today my brother is going to leave for Su County, but Brother Wei hopes that you can stay with the Nu Tao Army to guard the county and monitor Xian Yufu in Shanggu County" Seeing that in the inner hall, Yuan Xi commanded with a serious face.
"Xian Yu Fu" Yuan Ping's pupils shrank, of course he was very clear about this famous general in Youzhou.
"This person is proud of his merits, whether he is loyal or not is not known, but at present, it seems that there is indeed a big question, Shanggu County is not a small county, occupying one-sixth of the territory of Youzhou, it is very important, and it must not be taken lightly, I have canonized Chen Ji as Taishou last night, his ability is very good, he will help you prepare grain and grass, weapons, you are ready at any time, if he is rarely in the auxiliary and disrespects the order, for the brotherhood from Guangyang County and you from both sides" Yuan Xi's tone was solemn.
"No, please rest assured, if Xian Yufu dares not to listen to the second brother's orders, the younger brother will definitely calm him" Yuan Ping's eyes flashed coldly.
"Good," Yuan Xi smiled with satisfaction.
After leaving a piece of literature and a martial arts to guard the county, Yuan Xi immediately began to set off, he can't delay now, he must rush to Suxian as soon as possible to accept the position of assassin, and order the military and civilians in the whole territory to not leave a little room for growth for these hidden dangerous forces.
And the day after Yuan Xi left Zhuxian, in Liyang City, Wei County, Jizhou, a general who had hidden endless resentment in his heart began to burst out of his inner anger.
Liyang, the big city of Jizhou, the city is high and thick, there is a wide moat guarded outside, and there are 100,000 residents inside, which is an important stronghold of Yuan Shao's future troops in the Central Plains, and two miles away, the huge and unextended rolling Yellow River emerges in front of him, the momentum is magnificent, and the waves are afraid of the shore, like a heavenly guide to divide the north and the Central Plains.
When the night slowly fell, the moon stars were scarce, the crows crowed, and a killing intent permeated the sky above Liyang City.
In the huge city, the people had rested, but in a small mansion, a tall man with fair skin but a dark face was kneeling on the throne, and in front of him stood four generals in armor.
"You are all my brothers, you can look at the scars on my face, this is what Su You beat this afternoon" The tall man pointed to the dark blue in the corner of his eyes, his tone was very flat, but there was indeed a hatred that could not be drowned by the waters of the four seas.
"Brother Yang, Su You is arrogant and arrogant, and beats and scolds us and other subordinates like pigs and dogs at will, just give orders!" A general with a stubble on his face stepped forward and said with an angry expression.
"That's right, Brother Yang was just praised a few words by General Gao Ran at the banquet, and he was beaten so badly by Su You, if we continue like this, we will definitely die in his hands" Another general stood up.
The tall man clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashed with cold light, he was naturally Liyang's deputy general Yang Jin, he had already suffered from Su You's insults, but in Su You's background, he could only swallow his anger, but yesterday Gao Ran came to Liyang to relax, but he praised a few words of his calmness and calmness at the banquet, and Su You was jealous, as soon as Gao Ran left, he beat him badly, and he also tried his humiliating words, and the anger in his heart couldn't be controlled.
"Brothers, I, Yang Jin, thank you, please rest assured, I will not use my grievances to bring disaster to you, I have already contacted the Prime Minister Cao Cheng who is sitting in the Central Plains" Yang Jin said softly.
"What!" Several generals were taken aback, although they wanted to deal with Su You, they didn't dare to betray Yuan Shao!
"Brothers, don't worry, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is magnanimous and resourceful, not to let us rebel now, but to help us seize the position of general of Liyang Town, and he also said that he does not need any help from you for the time being, only that if Yuan Shao is defeated by him in the Central Plains in the future, he hopes that Liyang can directly surrender and let go of the road to the north for him" Yang Jin explained.
Hearing this, several generals immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this is okay, if Yuan Shao really loses, they will definitely not be holding on.
"Adjutant, is this credible? Cao Cao has such good intentions, why should he help us," one of the generals asked suspiciously.
"Haha, they weren't looking for me, they found Su You, but I did find out by accident, and under some coercion, I said it, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's vision is far-reaching, we are just his secret son, this matter is an opportunity for us, whether Yuan Shao or Cao Cao wins in the future, we have nothing to do, but will be added to the official and knighted" Yang Jin tempted.
The generals nodded, then looked at each other a few times, and immediately clasped their fists and said, "I'll wait for the general's orders."
"Okay, I have asked Han Song and Wu Qi to get Su You's two cronies drunk, and transfer the soldiers and horses along the Yellow River away, tonight we will attack the Taishou Mansion and kill Su You, then Prime Minister Cao Cheng's soldiers and horses will be secretly spent from the Yellow River, they will pretend to attack the city, I will personally lead the troops to kill them back, and then plant Su You's death into the hands of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, so not only kill Su You, but also make great achievements" Yang Jin stood up with excitement on his face.
"The Wise General"
"Remember, on the third watch, I will personally press the formation," Yang Jin said in a cold tone.
"No!"
After the generals left one by one, a man with an extraordinary appearance, elegant temperament, and a gorgeous brocade dress walked in front of Yang Jin from the back of the gauze tent, and said with an appreciative face: "General Yang is really more far-sighted than General Su You, when we went today, he took my money and drove us all out, which shows that this person is not only greedy, but also cowardly, and my Cao army needs to have a person like General Xiang."
After a hint of arrogance flashed in Yang Jin's eyes, he said with some worry: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng's soldiers and horses will even arrive!" ”
"General rest assured, I have already sent a letter out, this time it is General Yu Ban who leads the troops, he can fight well, he will never miss the time, and if General Yu Ban is defeated by the general, Yuan Shao will inevitably be even happier, and he will be thickly crowned general."
After Yang Jin nodded, he still asked with some doubt in his heart: "You won't lie to me, right?" ”
"Haha, general, may I ask why we are lying to you, if you fail, what good will it do us, Yuan Shao has countless generals under his command, and then a new one will be sent over, what is the meaning of my Cao army doing such useless work, the general must be clear, although my lord is eloquent, but the strength is not as good as Yuan Shao, and he has not yet fought the Yellow River and rushed into the north."
Yang Jin has no doubt about this, Cao Cao is far worse than Yuan Shao now, and he can only fight Yuan Shao, if he wins, it is possible to enter the north.
"Okay, then please Mr. Xu wait, I will take Su You's head soon after as a generous gift to Prime Minister Cao Cheng" Yang Jin said with an arrogant face.
"Xu is here to congratulate the general on his success" Mr. Xu gave a deep salute, but when he lowered his head, a trace of light flashed in his eyes.
Soon after, when it was about to approach the third watch, on the edge of the Yellow River not far from Luancheng, the torch was held high, illuminating one side, only to see Pang Tong standing on a boulder under the guard of dozens of elite soldiers, the breeze swayed his robe, Li Yong stood aside and whispered with respect on his face: "Zhizhong, clever calculation, the letter has been delivered, Yang Jin will do it tonight"
When Pang Tong heard this, he looked at the turbulent river and listened to the sound of the water hitting, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Summons General Gao Ran, after the third watch, enter the city to quell the rebellion" A serious voice sounded.
"No!" Li Yong immediately retreated loudly.
