Chapter 40: The Gate of Ye City Opened

Yecheng is not destined to be quiet tonight.

The city wall, which is seven miles long and five miles wide, is really not a brisk task for the only more than 1,000 soldiers in the city.

Fortunately, although Yuan Shao was not long in Jizhou, thanks to the name of the third prince of the fourth world, as well as the communication skills of Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family, under the deliberate friendship, the old family in Yecheng did not have any radical resistance to the matter of Han Fu replacing Yuan Shao, plus the new Taishou Su Cheng is also a capable official with skills, and he was able to maintain a superficial harmony before the Black Mountain thieves came.

This time Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought, Gongsun's ally Zhang Yan crossed the Taihang Mountain, and attacked the news of the empty base camp in the rear of Yuan Shao as soon as the news came out, Taishou Su Cheng immediately ordered the recruitment of the Hao family, assisted in defending the city, and formed several teams of some incapable miscellaneous servants temporarily borrowed from the family family, black and white took turns to guard the granary, on the one hand, these family families were more closely tied to Yuan Shao's chariot, on the other hand, he was also afraid that someone in the city would have dealings with the black mountain thieves, in case Yecheng was lost, This move has finally eased the pressure on the small number of troops.

Even God is helping Qin Xu, these temporary patchwork miscellaneous servants are not subordinate to each other, and they have the order of Yecheng Taishou, and they only recognize the warrant and do not recognize people, so when Qin Xu came to requisition with Lao Xu and Sima Mao with Yuan Shang's warrant, the grain depot officer, who was still a little suspicious at first, immediately ordered to let him go after seeing Yuan Shang's guards who arrived later. Anyway, there were only 300 stone of military rations and 300 miscellaneous servants.

To tell the truth, although these conscripted miscellaneous servants are only the lowest level of the major families, they have also formed a lot of small circles with each other in a short period of time with the relatives of the main family.

The family wants to save face, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and whoever is punished may not be displeased, if the Black Mountain thieves really attack here, it is a thousand blessings for these people to escape without being in battle, and now they can help the third prince of Yuan, and they can't ask for it in the heart of the grain depot official, and even complain a little about why Yuan Shang didn't send more.

The work efficiency of the grain depot officer was very high, although he didn't understand why he had to transport the military grain out of the city so secretly at night, but seeing that even Yuan Shang's entourage was so respectful to the young man in front of him, he was still smart and didn't ask.

Hanoi is in the southwest of Yecheng, the closest to the granary is also the south gate, dozens of grain wagons are soon ready, the dozing miscellaneous servants have also changed the armor of the soldiers, sleepy loading, only a moment of effort to reach the south gate.

"Brother Qin Jiu, you wait here, the captain on duty at the south gate tonight knows Xiaoxiao, so I will go and order them to open the door." Yuan Shang's guards grabbed the reins of their horses, arched their hands at Qin Xu, and walked towards the defenders of the south gate who had already noticed this group of people.

"Are you ready?" Qin Xu watched these miscellaneous servants who wore armor and didn't look like soldiers, pushing large and small grain carts to stop in front of the south gate of Yecheng, and asked Lao Xu and Sima Mao in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Master Qin, when you went to Yuan Shao's mansion, you had already sent someone to inform General Gao." Sima Mao lowered his voice and said to Qin Xu.

"When is Miss Lu coming?" After hearing the words from Yuan Shang about Miss Zhang "played" by Lu Lingqi, Qin Xu vaguely felt that something must have happened in his heart, and asked uneasily.

"Kong Er is stunned with two brothers, it's okay." Lao Xu heard Qin Xu ask about Lu Lingqi, and said with a smile: "Don't look at the eldest lady's age, but this martial art is the true inheritance of the master, and it is okay." ”

It seems that although Lu Lingqi is young and a girl, her martial arts are recognized in Lu Bu's army. When he arrived at the city gate, Qin Xu also temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and looked nervously at Yuan Shang's entourage who went to negotiate.

"Brother Qin Jiu, it's all said. They checked the child's warrant and immediately opened the door and let him go. Yuan Shang's guard said to Qin Xu with a flattering face. Seeing Yuan Shang personally send this guy who called himself Qin Jiu out of the room, these guards and entourage were wondering in their hearts what kind of sacredness this immature-faced young man was, and there was inevitably a hint of flattery in their tones.

"Well, this matter is done, the third prince is sure, and he will definitely reward you well." Qin Xu accentuated his tone in the words, and he could hear the guards smile widely.

"Squeak ......" The heavy city gate opened, and the high suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

It was too smooth, and Qin Xu, who was smooth, also began to wonder if he was shrouded in the aura of pig's feet. But now you can't take it lightly, looking at the vast night outside, you can only hear the roar of the summer wind, and Gao Shun doesn't know where he has been.

"Out of town!"

Yuan Shang's guards led the way, and the city gate could only accommodate two grain carts in parallel, these dozens of carts, it was really going to take a long time, and these miscellaneous servants didn't know what order of military discipline, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"What are you doing? What man gave you the order to open the gates so late? ”

Just when the grain cart was just about half way out, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the city. More than a dozen knights in heavy armor, armed with war guns, surrounded by a general-like man rode up. This shout just now was issued by the leader of the general.

"It turned out to be General Lu!" Qin Xu's heart tightened after seeing the person coming, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, the Yuan Shang guard named Kaicheng Gate opened his mouth.

"Isn't this the Zhan guard next to the third prince! Who are these people? With a wave of his hand, the general surnamed Lu erected Zhan Ge and surrounded Qin Xu and the others in the middle.

"General Lu, what do you mean by this?" Seeing that General Lu behaved like this, the Zhan guards beside Yuan Shang showed a trace of displeasure on their faces, and said: "This Lord Qin is my son's guest of honor, and this time he went out of the city on the orders of the third prince, General Lu is like this, doesn't he put the third prince in his eyes?" ”

"Don't dare! However, Yecheng is currently in an extraordinary period, and Su Taishou personally ordered that after the unitary time, no one should leave the city unless they had a warrant. Don't the guards know? General Lu didn't seem to understand the threat in Zhan's guard's words just now, he swept the sword in his hand, looked like a businessman, and said: "The third prince is the heir of Yuan Gongzi, and he should take the lead in obeying the edict of Yecheng. ”

No one knew when the Black Mountain thieves outside the city would attack, and these sleepy-eyed miscellaneous servants didn't want to leave the relatively safe Yecheng, and after hearing General Lu's words, they didn't wait for the Zhan guards to give orders, and they all stood still.

"Lu Kuang! You, a small infantry captain, actually suspect that the third prince is collaborating with the enemy? "Zhan's guards thought that they had lost face in front of Qin Xu, and they were still boasting about it before, and they could easily open the city gate, but this happened.

Qin Xu didn't pay attention to the annoyed eyes of the Zhan guards, the person in front of him also left his name in the history books, and he should have the impression that he supported Yuan Shang, why did he ignore Yuan Shang's warrant?

"Humph! Lu Mou is the lieutenant under the account of Yuan Gong, since he stays in Yecheng, he naturally will not tolerate the slightest mistake, you can wait to get out of the city, you must take out Su Tai's warrant, otherwise ......"

"Ah!!h

The night was quiet, and the wind was blowing southward, but a terrible scream from the wind pierced the quiet night sky, but it made the faces of these people present change.

I don't know who is who, and how much sin they have suffered, to be able to shout such a terrible voice.

"In the direction of the post house?" Zhan's guard was the first to exclaim, and his face changed greatly, "It's not good, it's the third son, it's the third son's cry!" ”

"Yuan Shang? What did he do at the inn? Qin Xu's face also changed, only Lu Lingqi and Kong Er were stunned with two soldiers trapped in the camp in the post house, how could Yuan Shang's screams be heard?

Thinking of the meaning of Yuan Shang's words in the evening, Qin Xu, who had not seen a record of Yuan Shang's lust in history, did not go to his heart, but he didn't expect it......

"Ah Xiang! You take care of them here, and make them return to the city at once, and I'll go to the inn to see!" Lu Kuang instructed a young soldier behind him and said.

"Big brother go by himself! With Lu Xiang here, these people can't get out of the city! "The one who is called Ah Xiang is Lu Kuang's younger brother Lu Kuang, who has just joined Yuan Shaojun.

"It's too late!" Just when these people were attracted by the screams coming from the direction of the post house, Lao Xu looked at the sky and suddenly his face changed.

"Shhh...... Humulus ......"

"Click......"

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and the ground trembled slightly!

"Not good! Close the gates! Alert! Alert! Although Lu Xiang has just entered the military camp, his reflexes are indeed extraordinary, no wonder he can leave his name in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

It's a pity that although the grain truck has stopped going out under Lu Xiang's interference, the city gate is too narrow, and these miscellaneous servants in armor are not real soldiers.

"Do it! Can't let them sound the alarm! Qin Xu fiercely pulled the arm of Lao Xu, who was guarding beside him, and ordered.

"But Master Qin, you ......" Lao Xu just hesitated slightly, didn't say much at the moment, flashed his body, pulled out a short knife from his sleeve, approached the horse, and slashed the Yuan soldiers who were about to raise the alarm.

"Ahh You guys! ”

The scene was disturbed by the hundreds of miscellaneous servants who were scattered in all directions, and the soldier who was about to sound the alarm was stabbed in the back looked at Lao Xu in disbelief, only said half a sentence, and then fell off the horse.

"Kill! Loot Yecheng! Loot Yecheng! ”

In the night, three or four hundred knights rushed to the gate of Yecheng with swords in hand, and the first person was covered with a black scarf and dressed roughly, and the horses crossed the grain cart blocking the gate and rushed into Yecheng first. It's Gao Shun!

"Hurry up and report to Lord Taishou! Hurry up! Hurry up! Lu Xiang was not afraid of danger, commanded loudly, and rushed with a knife. But where is Lu Xiang Gao Shun's opponent, and the disparity in strength is too great, just one together, and Lu Xiang will be knocked off the horse.

"Qin Xu!" Gao Shun saw that Qin Xu under Sima Mao's escort was unharmed, stopped his horse slightly, and said hurriedly: "Is it done?" ”

"Just you?" Qin Xu didn't greet Gao Shun too much, and looked at Gao Shun's back suspiciously.

"Haha!" Gao Shun changed his indifferent face, his eyebrows were full of excitement, and said: "This time is really a big harvest, even if you can't get the grain and grass, it doesn't matter." ”

"Uncle Gao!"

Just when Qin Xu was wondering what Gao Shun meant, Lu Lingqi came on horseback, followed by Kong Er and two soldiers in the camp, but the two soldiers seemed to have a person on their horses.

"General Gao, needless to say, before they find out, hurry up and move the grain! Don't forget to leave some marks of the Black Mountain Thief! Qin Xu said hurriedly.

Yuan Shao got the city not long ago, maybe there are still some families in the city who have dealings with the Black Mountain thieves, although Yuan Shao is still early from the end, but he can't let his old Yuan be too happy, since he came to Yecheng, it is just to give Yuan Shao and these families eye medicine, even if they don't, they have to make a few.

"Haha, Master Qin's words are reasonable!"

"Ahh You are not Montenegrin thieves, who are you? "A man lying on the horses of the soldiers in the trapped camp woke up, and it was Yuan Shao's favorite son, the third son Yuan Shang!
