Five days after leaving Luoyang, Hao Meng and the others bid farewell to the Tiger Prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info army was only stationed in Tiger Prison Pass for one day, and it was right to rest and recuperate.

After all, military generals don't care about marching day after day, but most of the soldiers are ordinary people, and although they will not collapse after a long march, their morale is certain.

After the Tiger Prison Pass, there are only more than 100 miles of sour dates.

However, the spring is thick, and at this time it should be the people working all over the ground, but there are few fireworks in the area of the tiger prison to the sour jujube.

Hao Meng could guess one or two with a little thought.

Before and after the Kwantung princes met the alliance, no matter how restrained the princes were, there would be some black sheep, and they would bring troops to disaster the common people if they had nothing to do.

Then, when these Kwantung princes finally entered the Tiger Prison Pass, before the people in this vicinity could catch their breath, the allies dispersed again.

This time, although there are not many princes passing through the Tiger Prison Pass and Sour Jujube, as the so-called "bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates", and there are three or five families left within a radius of 100 miles, which can be regarded as their great luck!

Seeing the scene of no one for hundreds of miles, the future father-in-law's face was not good-looking, and even Liu Bei, who had been following him, was full of pain.

After the princes' alliance, Sujube County was abolished. If there is no one to preside over the reclamation, there will be no hope of restoring many people within ten years.

Two days later, the team passed through Suozao County and did not stop.

Because Tao Qian didn't have much food and grass.

Although Suozao County is not broken, it is sparsely populated, and there is not even a ghost shadow in the county government, so it is naturally impossible to provide grain and grass.

This time, Tao Tingshi was ready to rush to Dingtao County, the capital of Jiyin County, in one go.

As for asking Chen Liutai to borrow grain from Zhang Miao, judging from the situation in Sour Zao City, Tao Qian thought about it or gave up.

It's just that since entering Chenliu County, the form has been a bit grim.

After seeing the army in the county towns and townships along the way, they either pulled up the suspension bridge and closed the city gates, or they scattered in a hurry, and the people fled cleanly.

This situation confuses everyone.

Could it be that Chen Liujun has entered war mode?

When entering Pingqiu County, the situation was slightly better, but the Pingqiu County Commander and the county lieutenant still pulled up the suspension bridge and did not allow Tao Qian's brigade to enter the city.

As for the envoy sent by Tao Qian to understand the situation, he was also hoisted into Pingqiu City by the hanging basket after a strict search.

……

"Could it be that something happened to Chen Liujun?"

"But we've almost crossed half of Chenliu County, and we haven't seen any fighting!"

Hao Meng was a little puzzled.

Judging from the situation along the way, the towns of Chenliu County seem to be strictly guarded, guarding against the attacks of others.

If Hao Meng's memory was not wrong, Chen Liujun should not have any problems at this time. Even if Chen Liu wanted to be in chaos, it should have been caused by the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and it was also the time when Cao Mengde unified Yanzhou.

However, if the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban start to sweep now, won't Qiao Mao's Dongjun and Cao Cao's Jiyin County bear the brunt?

Why are you Chen Liujun so nervous?

Hao Meng was puzzled, Liu Guanzhang and the three brothers were also puzzled, and so was the future father-in-law, and even Tao Qian was confused.

The reason why Tao Qian sent a messenger to understand the situation was for the next step.

The form of Chenliu County is so severe, so what about the whole Yanzhou? And what about Jiyin County, which they are about to pass through?

If the whole of Yanzhou fell into chaos, Tao Qian would rather take a detour than get into a quagmire, or the quagmire of war without logistical supplies!

Soon, the messenger was released from the city, but the news brought back made Tao Tingshi frown and Hao Meng was surprised.

……

"When Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, passed through Chenliu County, he was assassinated and killed."

"The army that returned with Qiao Mao has been divided into two parts at this time, one occupies Changyuan County and the other occupies Jiyin County, and Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao to give an explanation."

"No one knows whether Qiao Junshou's death was done by Zhang Miao, but Zhang Miao didn't give any explanation, but was organizing an army to prepare to quell the chaos."

"Moreover, I also heard that Cao Cao has sent troops to occupy the three counties of Fanxian, Yin'an and Yangping in Dongxian County, and is currently fighting with the soldiers and horses of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, in Dong'e County."

"Some people say that Qiao Mao was assassinated by Cao Cao, some people say that Zhang Miao sent people to assassinate him, and some people say that Liu Dai sent people to assassinate him. In short, the whole of Yanzhou is now in the news. ”

"That's why Chen Liujun's form is so severe!"

The news that the envoy found was indeed shocking.

After Tao Qian learned the news, he was hesitating whether to take a detour.

Obviously, no matter who sent someone to assassinate Qiao Mao, the chaotic war in Yanzhou will definitely be resolved in a short time.

If they continue to move forward, they have not yet stepped into the scope of Jiyin County, and their Xuzhou soldiers and horses will collide in Jiyin County and Dongjun if they can't do it.

But if you take a detour, you have to walk an extra one or two thousand miles, not to mention, you have to cross the boundary of Yuzhou.

There are too many turfs to go through, and Tao Qian is also worried that he will become Qiao Mao's second!

Hao Meng was more surprised that Qiao Mao was still dead!

Originally, history turned a corner after the Tiger Prison Pass, and Qiao Mao did not die between the Tiger Prison Pass and Luoyang, and even said that he would go home early.

However, I don't know if Qiao Mao's life should be like this, or if there are a lot of princes who are worried about his territory, Qiao Mao actually died in Chenliu County, died on the way home, and died a step away from Dongjun!

As for it, it doesn't matter who is behind the killing of Qiao Mao, don't you see that the Taishou of the counties bordering Dongjun are all snatching the fat of Dongjun?

……

"Alas, it's only been a few days, and half a month ago, everyone was still drinking and talking, but now they are fighting each other, and they even don't hesitate to kill each other in secret!"

After knowing the news of Qiao Mao's death, the future father-in-law shed a few old tears, and while he was deeply saddened by Qiao Mao, he also said that he really couldn't play in this world.

Yesterday I was obviously drinking and talking, but today I actually stabbed me in the back!

"Let's talk about it, should we continue to enter Jiyin County, or will we pass through Yuzhou from Jiwu County and return to Xuzhou?"

After summoning Liu Bei and Hao Meng together, Tao Qian threw out this question.

In fact, if Xuzhou borders Dongjun, even if Tao Qian has the attribute of a good man, he still wants to grab a bite of fat.

However, no matter from that direction, Xuzhou is hundreds of miles away from Dongjun, and watching the fat of Dongjun being snatched back and forth, Tao Thorn Shi is also beyond the reach of the whip!

With nearly 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses by his side, he can go into Dongjun in one go.

However, without logistics supply, it is easy to be besieged to death, no matter how much Tao Qian covets the territory of Dongjun, he does not dare to take this risk!

"Alas, it's a pity that Liu has too few soldiers and horses, otherwise he would have been able to quell the rebellion in Dongjun!" Liu Bei sighed.

To be honest, Liu Bei is also quite covetous of the territory of Dongjun.

If it weren't for the fact that he was now named the Taishou of Xiapi, if it weren't for the fact that he only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei would have wanted to grab the fat of Dongjun.

Of course, if Liu Bei was still the former plain county commander, he would also take advantage of the situation to attack Dongjun.

Tao Qian and Liu Bei's minds were on coveting the fat of Dongjun, but Hao Meng saw an opportunity. It is not a chance to seize Dongjun, but an opportunity to get back the materials that belong to him Hao Meng from Cao Mengde's hands!

"Tao Envoy, let's continue to enter Jiyin County."

"If we take a detour, we will inevitably pass through Yuzhou. And now Yuzhou is the king of the mountains without tigers and monkeys, and there are many forces. ”

"Although we have a large army in hand, we don't have to be afraid of those large and small forces in Yuzhou, but our supply of grain and grass is almost gone, and we can't get supplies from Yuzhou, and it is very likely that we will be entangled by those forces in Yuzhou."

"Continue to drive into Jiyin County, not only can Hao recover his long-term debt from Cao Mengde, but you can also borrow grain and grass from Cao Cao."

"At this time, Cao Cao is plotting to seize Dongjun, and he definitely doesn't want to be the enemy of the envoy, just a few thousand stones, grain and grass, Cao Mengde will naturally offer it with both hands."

"As for Pan Huan's East County soldiers and horses in Jiyin County. We don't want to capture Jiyin County, we just need to go around the city. ”

"If those Dongjun soldiers come out of the city to attack, we just take advantage of the situation to seize Jiyin County, whether it is returned to Zhang Miao or given to Cao Cao, it will be a favor at that time, right?"

Hao Meng tried his best to persuade Tao Qian to march into Jiyin County.

At this time, Hao Meng not only thought about repaying the debt smoothly from Cao Mengde, but also thought about the Dongjun soldiers in Jiyin County.

Although Hao Meng was appointed as a county guard, he did not have half a soldier by his side, so he was naturally chic and carefree along the way.

However, Hao Mengmeng wants to control Langya County, so he naturally has to say that the army is indispensable in his hands.

As soon as Qiao Mao died, Dongjun was left without an owner, and the princes of Yanzhou went to rob it. But on the other hand, these Dongjun soldiers who are outside are naturally ownerless, why can't Hao Meng recruit one or two?

You must know that the army that can be taken by Qiao Mao to participate in the alliance, even if these soldiers in Dongjun are not elite, they will definitely not be far behind.

As long as he can recruit a Dongjun soldier, he can also save Hao Meng the trouble of recruiting and training from the people, right?

……

"It's okay, let's go through Jiyin County!"

Tao Qian thought about it, but still agreed with Hao Meng's suggestion.

As Hao Meng said, if they make a detour to Yuzhou, their 30,000 Xuzhou soldiers will inevitably fall into a quagmire. If you enter Jiyin County from Jiyin County, I am afraid that Cao Mengde will provide grain and grass as soon as possible, and send them back to Xuzhou.

After all, Cao Cao was going all out to fight for Dongjun at this time, and naturally he didn't want to make trouble with Xuzhou.

The idea was set, and the army did not talk nonsense, and after leaving Pingqiu County, they went straight to Jiyin County.

Jiyin County is not far from Pingqiu County, and the army will be able to reach outside Jiyin County tomorrow at most.

At this time, whether it was Tao Qian or Liu Bei, they were attracted by Dongjun, which was destined to be unpalatable, and they were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, so they naturally ignored the Dongjun soldiers and horses in Jiyin County, and the possibility of surrendering.

Tao Qian may not care much about the surrender of thousands of troops, but Uncle Liu Huang, who is outnumbered, will definitely care.

However, Liu Bei's mind was not on the horse at this time, so he would naturally be picked up by Hao Meng. (To be continued.) )
