Chapter 174: Black Horn
Dong Zhuo was temporarily dragged in Guanzhong, and Yuan Shao of Jizhou was confronting Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei also pressed the battlefield outside Hanoi County, and the Montenegrin Army also controlled the Taihang Valley, so the territory under his control was temporarily stable.
Liu Yu of Youzhou is uncertain, and he can't plan Youzhou for a while, so at present, Ji Ping's main target is placed in the land of Qingxu and Yanzhou, of which Xuzhou is controlled by Tao Qian, and it is relatively stable at present, and the rest are only Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe was trapped by the Yellow Turban and died, Gongsun Zhan took the opportunity to appoint Tian Kai as the Qingzhou Thorn History not long ago, and Yuan Shao was not far behind, and appointed an old acquaintance of Ji Ping as the Qingzhou Thorn History, this old acquaintance is Zang Hong, who fought together in Luoyang, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao's Gong Cao, the first crusade against Dong Zhuo's ascension to the altar and blood oath, and also a group of people who finally withdrew from Luoyang with Ji Ping.
According to the news from the Shadow Division, Zang Hong was ordered by Zhang Chao to go to Youzhou to see Liu Yu not long ago, and on the way, Gongsun Zan confronted Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao left Zang Hong behind and appointed him as the assassin of Qingzhou. Based on Ji Ping's analysis, this is undoubtedly Yuan Shao's attraction of Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao's group.
Therefore, there are currently two assassins in Qingzhou, one is assigned by Gongsun Zhan, and the other is assigned by Yuan Shao, the Yellow Turban Army is still raging, and the two have begun to compete for the opportunity in Qingzhou. In addition, Qingzhou also has Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, but he and Tao Qian secretly returned to the alliance of Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan.
Qingzhou is very chaotic at this time, Ji Ping will take the opportunity to bury a chess piece in Qingzhou, fortunately, he is currently under Gongsun Zhan, and he is also under the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, if there is no accident. After the decisive battle between Gongsun Zhan and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he was going to enter Qingzhou with Tian Kai.
Of course, if there are surprises. Then it depends on Lu Mao to speak in front of Gongsun Zhan, in fact, what Ji Ping hopes more is that Gongsun Chan will also send Lu Mao to Qingzhou, then he will have stronger autonomy in the future.
In addition to Qingzhou, it is Yanzhou, and the current Yanzhou assassin history is Liu Dai, but as far as Ji Ping knows, Liu Dai has no military ability. Light and unplanned, it's okay to be a Taiping county guard, in this troubled world. You don't live long at all, and that's exactly what history is.
In particular, the Montenegrin army has entered the eastern county of Kou Yanzhou, so the Yanzhou Rebellion is not far away, and there are forces such as Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, and Yuan Yi. Basically, they are all forces close to Yuan Shao's side. But now Ji Ping sent Liu Bei and Zhang Fei into Dongjun, plus the Black Mountain Army, so Dongjun also has a chance.
For Yanzhou, Ji Ping just ordered Liu Bei to act at the opportunity, with Liu Bei's strategy and Zhang Fei's bravery, there should be a place, even if not, with Zhang Fei's fiery temper. It can also be very light yƬ to give birth to some incidents and bring the chess game to life. For better or for worse. There is a chance to live.
As for the battle between Gongsun Chan and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in front of him, Ji Ping did not have any pressure, Gongsun Chan's cavalry was the majority, and it was less to more, so he would naturally be cautious, and it was no problem to repel or defeat the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, after all, the mobility of the cavalry was too strong, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were a swarm of fighting methods, although they were fanatical and brave, but only the military formation was not exactly trained, and it was still difficult to win against the cavalry.
So right now, Ji Ping spread out a map in the study, thinking about the direction and plan of the next step in Qingzhou.
Zhang He and Li Ru are collecting the captive's yellow scarf, Shi A continues to develop the Shadow Division, and now Ji Ping and the two guards guarding outside.
Ji Ping was looking down and pondering the map, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in his heart, the four sides seemed to be much quieter, and his keen sixth sense made him realize that he seemed to be being watched!
There are masters watching! Because Shi Ah often hides behind him, he is no stranger to this feeling.
Ji Ping's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, who is it? He knows that there are many fierce generals and strategists in this world, but there are very few martial arts masters, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun are all counted, but they are more inclined to military generals, and this person hidden in the shadows is similar to Shi A's style, is an assassin? Still is......
This feeling is very weird, his current identity is just a county order, which master will come to watch him?
Is it Gongsun Zhan's men? Or are you still from Taiping Dao? According to Shi A's investigation, there is a mysterious force in Taiping Dao, called Lux Shi, who is the elite of Taiping Dao, but Lux only belongs to the Taiping Dao sect and is separate from the Yellow Turban, could it be them?
Could it be that Shi Ah entered Taiping Road a few days ago to listen to the news and was discovered?
Ji Ping's mind was spinning rapidly, although a heart had been mentioned to his throat, but the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, adjusting his breathing, he sat down naturally, pulling the map with one hand, and approaching the dagger under the desk with the other.
This is his habit, after experiencing the changes in the palace, although his martial arts are getting higher and higher, he is always vigilant and keeps his weapon within reach at all times, just in case.
Holding the dagger secretly with his right hand, Ji Ping didn't dare to relax in the slightest, just pretended to raise his head unintentionally, and said lightly: "I don't know where the distinguished guests are coming?" Winning often and losing welcome. ā
The room was silent, without any sound or movement.
After a while, Ji Ping sighed, continued to look at the map of the desk, and muttered: "I was going to invite Your Excellency to drink a glass of wine, but it is a pity that Your Excellency is unwilling to show up." ā
At this time, a voice on the roof beam laughed: "Chang Sheng, this name is good, and the dagger in his hand is even better, but it is not as expensive as a person." ā
A figure fell from the roof beam, standing in front of Ji Ping, but it was a Taoist priest dressed in a green robe, about forty years old, with a simple appearance, a high bun and a wooden crown, phoenix eyes and sparse eyebrows, a ruddy complexion, and a graceful and peaceful demeanor, but there was no hostility and murderous spirit.
Taoist?! People from Taiping Road?
Ji Ping speculated in his heart, but on the surface, he got up and saluted: "I don't know the Changzun?" What advice do you have here? I also commanded my men to warm wine for the Taoist. ā
Without waiting for the Taoist priest to answer, he shouted outward: "Wang Qi, bring the wine." ā
Just shouted, but there was no movement outside, Ji Ping was stunned, he wanted to remind the guards outside, but there was no response, he looked at the Taoist priest, his eyes were sharp.
This Taoist priest doesn't seem to be hostile, but if he hurts his own guards, then he can't let him go lightly today.
The Taoist priest didn't seem to feel Ji Ping's fierce eyes at all, so he sat down opposite Ji Ping, shook his head and said, "Poor Dao came to see nobles, it is not appropriate to alarm others, they are just resting for a while." ā
After that, Xiang Ji paralleled a strange etiquette, gestured like a yin and yang fish, and said: "Poor Dao Dao Wujiao, I have seen Chilongzi." (To be continued......)
