At the beginning of the fourth year of the first level.

Cao Cao's troops entered Nanyang and fought with Yuan Shu of Nanyang County, and in the face of Cao Cao's attack, Yuan Shu was worried, but also left a way back for himself, that is, his eyes also saw Yangzhou, which is currently relatively weak in local strength.

At this time, Chen Wen, who served as the assassin of Yangzhou, died of illness, and when Yuan Shu was in the court in the past, he had a good friendship with Chen Yu, the Taishou of Wujun, so he went to the table and asked Chen Yu to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou.

Chen Yu, as the Taishou of Wujun, said that he did not want to take up the post of Yangzhou Assassin Shi, it was obviously against his will, and in the face of the envoy sent by Yuan Shu, he was very warmly received, and expressed his intention to only Yuan Shu's horse, which was regarded as accepting Yuan Shu's wooing.

In fact, Yuan Shu's recommendation of Chen Yu to take over the post of Yangzhou Assassin is also the heart of wooing and using Chen Yu, Chen Yu also values the identity of Yuan Shu's high-ranking family, knowing that with Yuan Shu's protection, his appointment to the post of Yangzhou will inevitably increase half of the chance of success.

In this way, before the edict of the imperial court arrived, Chen Yu exercised the authority of Yangzhou to assassinate the history, and at the same time moved the official office from Wu County to Liyang City, the administrative office of Yangzhou, and Chen Yu was in such a hurry to leave Wu County.

Since it has a direct impact on Yan Baihu's rebellion in Wu County, although Chen Yu was born in a famous family and has excellent knowledge, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not good at military affairs, and there are no available generals under him.

It was also the successive defeats that made Chen Yu frightened, and sent letters to Chen Jue's father and son to ask about the countermeasures, and this time Yuan Shu promoted him to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, which made him see a glimmer of life, so that he could calmly get out of Wu County.

At the same time, he also accepted the proposal of Chen Deng's father and son, formally invited and submitted to the imperial court, asking Han Lie, who was stationed in Guangling, to lead the army to Wu County to rebel.

Just when Chen Yu led his family to leave Wu County, Han Lie personally led 3,000 elite soldiers, secretly boarded the ship from Guangling Port, and rushed to Haiyan City under the rule of Wu County, and on the one hand, Han Lie's Chinese army Daxu banner was ready to go in the waters of Hangou, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, Han Lie deliberately selected a sergeant who was quite similar to himself, wearing his armor to walk in the army, and at the same time, as the captain of the pro-guard Xu Sheng, as well as the general Dian Wei, Tai Shici and the military advisor Guo Jia, all stayed in the middle of the camp to transfer troops, and also claimed to send 10,000 troops to the outside world, with great fanfare, to prepare for the expedition.

Han Lie personally led 3,000 elite soldiers, took a salt ship, disguised as a peddler's pawn, and landed in Loucheng, a hundred miles away from Haiyan City, after a short three-day march.

Loucheng is only 100 miles away from Haiyan, this goes to Haiyan, the road is smooth, the rapid march can be reached in one day, the reason why Loucheng is chosen to land, one of the most important reasons is that Chen Deng's old friend Chen Jiao, a native of Dongyang, Guangling County, takes refuge in seclusion here.

Chen Jiaozi Ji Bi, a famous man in Guangling, has always been good friends with Chen Deng, and regards Chen Deng as a confidant and friend, Han Lie's secret military deployment of this time and a surprise attack on Haiyan is the information provided by Chen Jiao, so that Han Lie and Guo Jia made this seemingly bold tactic.

According to the intelligence information about Yan Baihu provided by Chen Jiao, Yan Baihu is from the Wucheng clan, and the two brothers are local heroes, especially his younger brother Yan Xing, who is known as having the courage of ten thousand people.

Since last year's rebellion, it has been half a year now, most of the county under the rule of Wu County was slaughtered by the Yan Baihu brothers, and now the two Yan Baihu brothers, gathering no less than 30,000 people, with Yuhang as the base camp, Haiyan and Youquan two counties as a barrier, occupy the territory of the three counties, and cause more than ten counties in Wu County, no one can be defeated, and the momentum can be described as great.

And the guard general who guarded Haiyan City was Yan Baihu's brother Yan Xing, who was brave and brave, commanded 5,000 troops to sit in Haiyan, and lived a luxurious life of arrogance and lasciviousness.

In Chen Jiao's words, Yan Xing is not as brave as a horseman, he can fight and defeat Yan Xing, but Yan Baihu is poor and will no longer be a disaster for Wu County.

In a secret port in Loucheng, when Han Lie and Chen Jiao first met, Chen Jiao, who was nearly thirty years old, still couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Han Lie, who was as gentle as jade and like a handsome son, although he had already heard Chen Deng say that Han Lie was young and handsome, just like the ancient Song Yu.

But as the saying goes, it's better to be famous than to meet, and really see the real person, Chen Jiao still thinks that what Chen Deng said is still different from the real person.

Looking at Han Lie's left and right generals, Zhao Yun is as imposing as a tiger, and Xu Huang is as calm as a mountain, such a character, Chen Jiao, who is self-sustaining and well-organized, couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw Han Lie and his party at the moment, these are all the best people in the world.

"People of the mountains and wilderness, meet General Han." Chen Jiao bowed down respectfully and said, if he still had doubts about Han Lie before, now that he saw the real person, as well as Han Lie's left and right generals, Chen Jiao no longer had any worries.

"Mr. Ji Bi, please get up quickly, see you for the first time, why do you need such a big gift." Han Lie stepped forward to hold his hand and responded enthusiastically.

"The general's name has been famous for a long time, and he deserves to be courteous." Chen Jiao saw that Han Lie was enthusiastic and friendly, and his mood was also very comfortable.

"Haha......" Han Lie smiled heartily and introduced the two generals Zhao Yun and Xu Huang to Chen Jiao, and the two sides greeted each other.

"General, the road is tired, I have already arranged wine and food in the cold house in front, the general can lead the army to eat a full meal, take a little rest, and then march to Haiyan after dark." Chen Jiao then guided Han Lie and his party to the manor where he lived in seclusion.

Chen Jiao as a Guangling family background, although he lived in Loucheng, but life is worry-free, looking at his manor servants, it can be seen that his family should still be quite rich, but Han Lie this time 3,000 people into the village, Chen Jiao slaughtered 100 fat sheep, 100 fat pigs to entertain, the cost is very large.

For Chen Jiao's generous act, Han Lie kept it in his heart, three bowls of rice wine in his stomach, Han Lie put down the wine bowl, and said in a deep voice: "Today's military affairs are in the body, and three bowls of alcohol are licensed, although it can't be fun, but Mr. Ji Bi's kindness, Lie Zi dare not forget, and he will be rewarded another day." ”

"The general came with a righteous army, and someone dared to hide his secrets, and a little money was not enough." After some conversation, Chen Jiao had a further understanding of Han Lie's insight and mind, and he already had a sense of respect for this jade-like young man.

"Mr. Ji Bi is generous, I can't turn a blind eye, if Mr. doesn't give up, how about helping someone and making contributions together?" Han Lie obviously thought that Chen Jiao was a usable talent for Chen Deng to introduce Chen Jiao to him, and now that the two sides saw each other very happily, Han Lie was not polite, so he got up and saluted respectfully.

"Thanks to the lord who will not give up, dare not follow the work of dogs and horses." Chen Jiao hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

"With Ji Bi's help today, the big thing in Wu County will be decided." Han Lie shook his palm with great joy and said to Xu Huang and Zhao Yun on the right: "From now on, Mr. Ji Bi is a meritorious member of our army. ”

"Congratulations to Master Chen on his promotion." Zhao Yun and Xu Huang saw that Chen Jiao was elegant, knowledgeable, sincere and courteous, and they also admired this person, so they hugged their fists and congratulated.

"The two generals are polite, please take care of me in the future." Chen Jiao hurriedly got up and returned the salute, he didn't dare to slack off on Han Lie's left and right generals.

After taking his seat again, Chen Jiao spoke again: "Lord Miao Zan, I dare not be ashamed, but the Lord has a good sentence, if you can determine the people of Wu County, you must sigh for Gu Yuan of Lou County." ”

"The person Ji Bi said, could it be Gu Yong, Gu Yuan, the county commander of this county?" Long before he planned to send troops, Han Lie had some concerns about some children of the family in Wu County.

Gu Yong is a son of the Wujun family, he went to Beijing to study when he was a teenager, and was appreciated by Cai Yong, so he was able to enter Cai Yong's door to study, and often praised his talent, which will become a great weapon one day.

Years and weak crown, Gu Yong was recommended by the state and county, served as the mayor of Hefei, successively moved to Qu Aling, and was recommended by Chen Yu to be transferred to Lou County Commander a year ago, Chen Yu's move was also heard that Gu Yongcai knew people and had the meaning of dependence, and secondly, he also knew that Gu Yong was a big family in Wu County, and his family had more than 5,000 private soldiers and servants, and he was in Lou County, even if he could not deter Yan Baihu and other traitors, it was enough to resist for a while and keep himself safe for a while.

"It is this person, and it is Gu Yong who served as the county commander of the county, that caused Yan Xing to attack three times, but he returned in vain, this is not that Gu Yuansian commanded Ruoding, but that Gu Yuansian had three thousand Gu family's private subordinates under his account, plus the Gu family's reputation was in Wu County, and the people of the whole city supported it. Chen Jiao nodded happily.

"However, if the lord wants to subdue this person, it is difficult to move his heart with the appreciation of Xu Li, and his subordinates think that the lord can first capture Haiyan, take Yanxing, quell the Yan Baihu rebellion, and recover the three counties. Chen Jiao's analysis shows that he has insight into people's hearts and the ability to deal with things calmly.

"Ji Bi's words are reasonable, but I think that when the wise man is honest, righteousness is the middle, and profit is the bottom, in order to show my sincerity, I will first leave a letter of resignation, and hand it over to Ji Bi to Gu Yuansi, and after saying that after stabilizing military affairs, I should visit in person." Treating Gu Yong, Han Lie didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, this person is not only a child of the Wujun clan, this person is also a famous person in Jiangdong, and more importantly, this person has the talent to govern and is the pillar of the country, how can he be contemptuous?

"The lord is open-minded and magnanimous, and he can't be overbearing." When he felt Han Lie's attention and generosity towards talents, Chen Jiao couldn't help but be moved.

After resting for half a day in the courtyard by the Chen Jiao River, at night, Han Lie, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang led the army to change into neat armor and clothing, taking advantage of the moonlight, taking advantage of the gallop all the way to advance lightly, and drove straight down Haiyan City.

In the early morning of the next day, when the gate of Haiyan East City was opened, the sergeants on guard yawned, and when the lazy procession began to patrol and guard for the day, they were suddenly awakened by a rush of footsteps.

Above the city, a rebel leader who led the team raised his eyes and saw the red-shirted Han soldiers rushing to the city under the bright light of the armor, like an arrow from the string, and he was surprised that he forgot his words for a while.

"The Han army is coming......" The next moment when the panicked shouts of the rebels at the head of the city sounded, under the city, Zhao Yun, who was in the lead, had already killed under the city gate with a spear, Zhao Yun in a silver helmet and white robe, the spear was picked one by one, and an enemy soldier in front of the horse was killed by the sharp blade through the chest on the spot.
