ps: There was a problem with the computer, and it was not completely repaired until seven o'clock in the evening, so I had to rush out of this chapter today! Together with the chapter I owed before, I only owe you two chapters, and this debt seems to be increasing...... Bitter also! If you have a vote, please vote, thank you!

In Yanzhou, after hundreds of thousands of barbarian coalition troops crossed the Yellow River crossing, they followed the armor scattered everywhere on the road, as well as the traces of "fighting" along the way, and chased them to the territory of Dongping Kingdom.

However, although the "fighting" of the Han army looked very intense, Yan Rou could not see a trace of a smile on his face at this time. Because along the way, the county towns and villages along the way seemed to be frightened away by the "fighting" of those Han troops, resulting in them entering the county and villages every time they entered the county and villages on this day, they were full of hope, but they came out empty-handed.

Although Yan Rou could afford this kind of result, he knew that Budugen and Ke Bineng would definitely have ideas.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Seeing that this search for the county seat was fruitless, Budu Genlema came to Yan Rou's side and persuaded him: "Yan Rou! If the Han army wants to fight, let them fight by themselves, if we still keep running behind the Han army, they are not defeated, our hundreds of thousands of troops will be starved to death! ”

Budugen was also in a hurry, originally thinking that if he crossed the Yellow River, there would be a large amount of wealth and population in Yanzhou waiting for him to plunder. But he didn't expect that after a day of searching, wealth and population were not seen, and the only thing he saw was either a dilapidated village or an empty county town, which hit him very hard.

Not only is Budu in a hurry, but Kebi Neng's face is not very good-looking now. Because in addition to the 120,000 light horsemen here, there were also more than 40,000 light horsemen left guarding the raft at the crossing of the Yellow River, which Yan Rou was afraid of an accident and left behind. And most of the more than 40,000 light horsemen were the tribes led by Kebineng to the south this time.

His own tribe was left behind to guard the retreat, and Kebineng would not have had any thoughts about this. But now the problem is that we have been searching for a day, not to mention wealth and population, and we have not been able to find even the slightest grain and grass that can be used by the coalition forces.

And those tribes who stayed at the crossing of the Yellow River only had three days of food and grass. Big fish eat little fish! This is the law of grassland survival, if the time still does not find food and grass to send back in time, Kobineng is very worried that the tribes left there will defect due to hunger.

Both of them have their own worries, so why shouldn't Yan Rou? The grain and grass crisis is not only a crisis for the more than 40,000 people who stayed at the crossing of the Yellow River, but also a crisis for the entire coalition army.

Although Yan Rou wanted to confirm what Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's alliance with Cao Ying had become, the current situation really did not allow him to continue to follow.

Thinking of this, Yan Rou secretly sighed in her heart, looked at the two of them and said, "Seeing that those Han troops are heading in the southwest direction, since you all feel that you can't continue to follow the Han army." Then we will go directly south, according to the spies, there are many cities over there, and we can get the food and grass that the army needs there. ”

"Hahaha, Yan Rou, you're just too careful! As long as we have enough food and grass to replenish it, even if those Han troops are not killing each other, will they dare to fight the warriors of my steppe head-on? Now let's go take those cities! Seeing that Yan Rou promised not to pursue again, the gloomy color on Bu Dugen's face was suddenly swept away, and he said with a smile.

Because the coalition army waved south, and something like that happened in Youzhou and Jizhou, Bu Dugen looked down on those Han troops who ran away as soon as they saw them, like lost dogs. Now all he could think about was the richness of the Han land, and the Han slaves who were waiting in the city for him to plunder.

Under the mobilization of the three of them, the 120,000 grassland light riders behind them seemed to see countless Han beauties, as well as mountains of wealth beckoning to them. He was so excited that he shouted "Wow Wow", waved the sword in his hand, followed Yan Rou and the three of them, and killed towards Ningyang County.

"Tell your lord at once! The barbarian army had given up the pursuit of the Yanzhou coalition army and headed towards Ningyang County. After the hundreds of thousands of grassland light horses left this place, on a small hill, several masked people dressed in black walked out. The leader first looked at the barbarian army that had gone away, and then turned around and said to the man with the white dove in his hand behind him.

These masked people dressed in black, except for the one who was the leader, had a silver waist plate hanging from his waist, and the rest of them were all wearing bronze waist cards.

That's right! These people are none other than the shadow guards of the Yanzhou Branch. And the person who led it was one of the two shadow guard leaders who were separated from Zhang Yan at the crossing of the Yellow River.

Since the barbarian army left the Yellow River crossing, the two shadow guard leaders divided the shadow guards of the Yanzhou branch into two groups, and then each took a group and followed closely around these barbarian armies, so that Sun Ling could know the movements of the barbarian army at any time.

When the shadow guard behind him released the carrier pigeon in his hand, the leader of the shadow guard suddenly turned his head and looked at the other side of the hill, with a hint of murderous aura in his eyes. He said in a calm tone: "Do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want us to come over and ask you to show up?" ”

Since Sun Ling began to create the Shadow Secret Guard three years ago, the leader of the Yanzhou Shadow Secret Guard, that is, the Shadow Eight, was transferred from the Shadow Secret Guard from the Tyrant Battalion to serve as the leader of the Yanzhou branch because of his outstanding strength.

In the three years of carrying out intelligence work in Yanzhou, there has never been a mistake in the case of Kagehachi taking action in person! However, there was a problem today, the shadow guard was actually followed, and the person who followed him was hidden under the noses of himself and others, but he didn't realize it until now, which made Shadow Eight full of self-blame at the same time, but also had murderous intent towards those people.

Under the gaze of Shadow Eight and the shadow guards behind him, three figures walked out of the low hill one after another, and the two sides looked at each other like this.

"As far as I know, that Cao Ying has no other arrangements except to send Cao Hong out! Who the hell are you?! Yan Liang saw that the three of them were hiding there and were spotted by Shadow Eight, and he didn't take it to heart, he looked at Shadow Eight absently, as well as the shadow guards behind him, and asked.

The three people who were hidden on that side of the hill and were not noticed by Ying Ba for the first time were none other than Guan Yu, Yan Liang, and the three generals Wen Chou.

The reason why the three of them appeared here was also to find out the movements of the barbarian army. It's just that they didn't expect that these people would suddenly appear like Shadow Guards, so the two sides met so inexplicably.

And if it weren't for the fact that the shadow guard released the carrier pigeon just now, they wouldn't have noticed that there were other people on this hill, and it was because of this that they made a movement and were noticed by Shadow Eight.

In response to Yan Liang's question, Ying Ba did not answer, but looked at them thoughtfully, and only after seeing Guan Yu's image did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief

Guan yu! is not only Liu Bei's brother, but also one of the two generals under him, after he followed Liu Bei into Yanzhou, the shadow guards of the Yanzhou branch have already investigated his appearance and strength clearly, and put it in front of Ying Ba's table. It can be said that Guan Yu's file, Ying Ba has long kept it in mind.

As for the other two, Ying Ba felt that they were very similar to the two generals under Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. But at this time, Ying Ba did not focus on the two of them, but stared at Guan Yu tightly, because among the three people opposite, Guan Yu was the most threatening!

Seeing that he opened his mouth to ask, but Shadow Eight did not answer him, Yan Liang thought that he was being looked down upon, and under the anger in his heart, he clenched the long knife in his hand tightly, and was about to rush towards Shadow Eight to kill.

Just as Yan Liang was about to rush out, Guan Yu, who had always been indifferent, pulled Yan Liang down, looked at the shadow guard who was waiting on the opposite side, and said in a solemn tone: "General Yan Liang, don't act recklessly!" The aura on these people gave me a very strange feeling, especially the one who was the leader, the aura exuded just now was very similar to the captain of the sword battalion! ”

After saying this, Guan Yu recalled the scene when he and Zhang Fei encountered those captains in Guangzong City. Compared to those captains, although the aura emanating from Shadow Eight was more restrained, Guan Yu was still keenly aware of the similarities between the two.

In fact, who Yan Liang wanted to kill, Guan Yu couldn't care at all, and he didn't want to care. If it weren't for the barbarian army going south this time, he would still like to see Yan Liang clash with the shadow eight in front of him, but now he definitely can't.

Because Sun Ling will enter Yanzhou with the Badao Battalion, if Yan Liang's attack on Ying Ba is known by Sun Ling, with his domineering nature, I am afraid that his eldest brother will also be implicated at that time, which is not what Guan Yu wants to see.

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Yan Liang, who was furious, was like being poured from the top of his head by a basin of cold water, and he lost his temper in an instant.

It's no wonder that Yan Liang is like this, he knows very well what the three words "Badao Battalion" represent, it is not only the most powerful army in Sun Ling's hands, but also known as the most powerful army in the world. It is also because of this that before there is absolute strength, none of the princes dares to provoke Sun Ling easily. And just now, because of his impulsiveness, he almost caused trouble for Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, although Yan Liang didn't want to cause trouble for Yuan Shao, he didn't want to bow his head to Ying Ba, his expression moved, he looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

We? Hearing Yan Liang's words, Guan Yu glanced at him very strangely. It was obviously him who spoke out just now, and now he even counted himself in. Why didn't he find out before, this Yan Liang was so brazen?

It's just that when he thought of the current form of Yanzhou, Guan Yu could only walk out hard, looked at Ying Ba opposite, and asked, "I don't know the person opposite, but the soldiers of the sword battalion under the Hou Ye's account?" ”

"That's right! We are serving the Lord's account! Although he knew the identities of Guan Yu and the others, Kagehachi didn't tell the true identities of himself and the others, and just replied so confusedly.

After all, about the matter of the Shadow Secret Guard, except for the people under Sun Ling's account, outsiders still don't know about it, and of course Shadow Eight will not take the initiative to tell Guan Yu this. Since Guan Yu thinks that they are the people of the Sword Battalion, then let him think so. And he didn't guess wrong, the people in the shadow secret guard were indeed all from the sword battalion.

Seeing Ying Ba admit it so readily, the look on Guan Yu's face was suddenly stunned, and for a while, he didn't know what he should say.

"Let's go!" Seeing Guan Yu standing there and not knowing what he was thinking, Ying Ba was afraid that staying for a long time would make Guan Yu suspicious, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He greeted the shadow guards behind him, and ran down the hill with them.

After Ying Ba took the shadow guard and completely left, Yan Liang walked to Guan Yu's side and said with some incomprehension: "That's it?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu turned his head to look at Yan Liang beside him, a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then said lightly: "No, what else?" If I'm not mistaken, that person should have known who we were, so he deliberately backed down. Otherwise, I am afraid that this thing will not be good today! ”

"General Guan's words are a bit excessive, I admit that the Badao Battalion is very strong, and everyone in the world knows this. But with just those few people, how can we be difficult to be good? In my opinion, the intention to back down is false, knowing that you are not our opponent, so you will take people away, this is the truth! Wen Chou, who had never spoken, said with a sneer after hearing Guan Yu's words.

Guan Yu didn't refute Wen Chou's words, just squinted his eyes and stared at him like this for a while, until he saw that he was a little weak, and he took the initiative to look away, and then he smiled coldly in his heart.

What kind of people are in the sword camp, those who have not seen it, can never imagine. The strength of Yan Liang and Wen Chou is not much worse than his own, but it may be because he has followed Yuan Shao for a long time and has been infected with his stubborn and conceited character, no matter who he looks at, he will look down first. Characters like theirs will kill them sooner or later.

This is just a small episode of a chance encounter, Sun Ling, who has just joined the Badao Battalion, will not care, and the three heroes who are far away in Chen Liucheng will not take it to heart, because their real target is the barbarian army that has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou and entered a big net, but they are not aware of it.
