Chapter 30: Chaohu Lake

Wu Hao took Wu Hu to run through the trail in the direction of Chaohu Lake, and along the way it was as he had speculated. The yellow turban attack of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info came from Juchao County without knowing it, otherwise why would there be no abnormality on this road.

On the shore of Chaohu Lake, hundreds of young men each held spears and bows and arrows on their backs, and looked solemn around them.

Wu Long was wearing armor and a sword at his waist. Staring at the endless lake in front of me, watching a few small boats slowly rowing by, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Then he turned around and looked around at the hundred young men, and shouted to them: "Line up and prepare to cross the river to aid the Marquis of Hefei."

"No". Hundreds of young men and women agreed with a bang and lined up in two teams behind Wu Long.

The boat slowly approached, and a smile flashed at the corner of Wu Long's mouth. Originally, he had already arrived here, but he didn't want the reinforcements to arrive, so the boatman let the elite of the county cross Chaohu Lake first. So this back and forth has also delayed time.

When Wu Long thought of this, he didn't turn around and immediately shouted: "Get on the boat."

"Wu Long and slow". A hurried and immature voice came from behind, Wu Hao hurriedly ran from behind, looking at Wu Long, who had not yet crossed the river, and his heart was settled.

Wu Long turned to look ahead, and saw Wu Hao running hurriedly with Wu Hu, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't understand why the two of them came here at this time: "I've seen the third son."

"I've seen the third son". The hundreds of branch soldiers just wanted to get on the boat but heard the sound coming, subconsciously stopped and turned to look, and saw that it was Wu Hao who hurriedly saluted.

Now that the world is in turmoil, in order to survive, the people have attached themselves to the family to survive. These hundred young men are all people who came to attach themselves after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because the time of attachment is still short, so there is no foundation, and at this time, when the son of the head of the family arrives, he naturally does not dare to slack off.

Wu Hao thought that the Yellow Turban Army outside the county did not dare to delay, and went straight to the topic: "The Yellow Turban is coming, and now Chao County and the county seat are already in the midst of war. You should immediately come back to help and solve the crisis in the county."

"Childe's words are true, now there are only 200 county soldiers in the county and 100 soldiers from my Wu clan and my family, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on for a long time with only 300 troops." Before Wu Long could reply, Wu Hu's hurried tone had already come.

Wu Long was shocked in his heart, but after a while, he reacted, with a puzzled look on his face, and his eyes were full of disbelief. The Yellow Turban Bandit Kou is far away in the Hou Kingdom of Hefei, how could he come, but the expressions of Wu Hao and Wu Hu are not the slightest bit false, which makes him a little uncertain: "The Yellow Turban Bandit attacked the county seat?"

"If it weren't for the crisis, why would we rush here?" Wu Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted, explaining to Wu Long.

Hundreds of young and strong soldiers looked at each other, and they would be suspicious of the attack of the Yellow Turban, after all, Chaoxian County and Hefei Houguo were separated by Chaohu Lake. Although the rest of the Yellow Turbans are gaining momentum this year, it is impossible for these bandits to fly through Chaohu and enter Chaoxian County.

Wu Hao took in the demeanor of these branch soldiers, and reminded him a little calmer: "It stands to reason that this Yellow Turban bandit can't make a detour outside the county town unknowingly, but don't forget, there is still a road that can work besides Chaohu."

"There is another way?". Wu Long thought for a moment and then shook his head: "If the Yellow Turban bandit detours from Juchao County to my Chao County, it is impossible not to have any news along the way."

"What if the Zheng family secretly lets it go?" Wu Hao asked Wu Long rhetorically, and at the same time looked around at the hundred branch soldiers, closely thinking about their demeanor.

Wu Long's brows gradually rose, and the voices of the hundreds of branch soldiers began to discuss, and their wives and children were all within the seven villages under Chao County. I know that there are no young people in the village, there are some old and weak women and children, and if the yellow scarf attacks, I am afraid that it will be dangerous.

Wu Hao saw that Wu Long was still hesitating, and he was worried about the situation in Chao County. Thinking that Chaoxian County was attacked by the Yellow Turban bandits, Chunlan and her mother's desolate appearance couldn't help but shudder. His face sank instantly. A thousand years of wisdom could not be underestimated, and a solution came to mind almost immediately.

The crisp sound of drawing the sword sounded, Wu Hao pointed the sword in his hand at Wu Long's throat, although the voice was a little immature, but the tone was mixed with majesty: "As the third son of the Wu family, I order you Wu Long to return to the village with a hundred branch soldiers and shelter the old and weak women and children in the seven villages." If my father blames you, you can say that I, Wu Hao, used a sword to coerce you."

The voice was loud, and the hundreds of branch soldiers looked at the young man in front of him holding a sword and being overwhelmed by his momentum, and a sense of admiration gradually rose in their hearts.

Seeing the majesty of Wu Hao's face, Wu Long seemed to have a delusion, feeling that the person in front of him was the head of the family rather than the son. Clenched his hands into fists and bowed slightly, although he had some doubts in his heart, he looked at the three-foot sword blade, and still saluted respectfully: "I am willing to listen to the order of the son."

"You are waiting to sell yourself to my Wu family, at this time my Wu family is in trouble, and your wife and children are dying. You are willing to listen to my orders and get through this crisis, but there is a punishment at home for Wu Hao." Hearing Wu Long's words, Wu Hao took advantage of the situation to pursue and ask the hundreds of branch soldiers.

Listening to Wu Hao's loud words, the hundreds of branch soldiers couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously blurted out: "I am willing to listen to the son's order."

"Offended". Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and casually put the sword in his hand back to the sheath. Fang just took out the sword as a last resort in a hurry, Wu Long was loyal and righteous, even if he died calmly for the Wu family, he would not frown, but the situation was urgent.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Hao looked at Wu Hu and instructed him directly: "You immediately cross Chaohu Lake by boat, go to Hefei Houguo, and inform my father and two brothers of the situation here." Yan Huang Turban bandits divided their troops, raided Chao County, and asked my father to come back immediately."

"No". Wu Hu knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't dare to slack off too much, so he immediately saluted and walked to the boat in front.

Wu Hao's eyes turned to everyone, and he analyzed the topography of Chao County for a while in his mind, and then ordered Wu Long: "There are a thousand Yellow Turban bandits, and I can't touch a hundred people outside." At this time, there were 300 troops in the county town to defend the city wall, and it was difficult for the Yellow Turban bandits to capture it in a hurry. After a long time, the bandits will be resentful in their hearts, and at that time, they divided their troops to plunder seven subordinate villages. We and a hundred others can divide and attack him by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain. You can send ten people to rush outside the county seat first, and the rest of the people will wait for me to go to Guanzhuang and the county seat to form a horn and delay the time."

"No". Hundreds of people agreed with a bang, and Wu Long ordered ten people to run quickly to the county seat.

Watching Wu Long and the others leave, Wu Hao couldn't help but sink his heart when he thought of the stars that night. Just a yellow turban bandit, do you really think that this traverser is eating dry food? No matter who you are, if you want to destroy your home, then don't blame yourself for the death.
