Chapter 117: Guan Yu returns

The millions of refugees gathered outside the Yuyuan Pass had Liu Ze's daily porridge, and they were at peace with the officers and soldiers, but the Yellow Turban Army suddenly went north, which caused a large-scale commotion in the refugee camp, and waiting here was undoubtedly a dead end, so someone in the crowd raised their arms and shouted, and the millions of refugees flocked to the Yuyuan Pass. The torrent of millions of people could not be stopped by a small Guancheng, perhaps the commander Chen Zhi did not order the soldiers guarding the pass to resist at all, and millions of refugees poured into Luoyang like a flood that burst the embankment.

When the news reached the palace, Emperor Han Ling immediately panicked and asked Yu Zhang Rang and the other regular attendants. Zhang Rang and the others had any good ideas, and they actually sent heavy troops to Emperor Ling of Han to encircle and suppress these refugees, saying that these people ignored the emperor's holy decree and dared to break through the Yuyuan Pass, and they had to be suppressed.

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was about to mobilize an army to attack the unarmed refugees, Zhang Wen, Huang Wan and others admonished him, saying that these refugees were only afraid of the Yellow Turban thieves to break through the Yuyuan Pass, and if they raised the butcher's knife to the refugees because of this, it would inevitably provoke a popular uprising, so it was absolutely impossible to suppress it by force. Only now, it is necessary to come up with money and food, make an example of reassuring the people, and resettle the refugees in Hongnong County and Hedong County in a scattered manner. Under pressure, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to adopt the ideas of Zhang Wen, Huang Wan and others.

In the 33rd day before and after, 350,000 yuan of grain was consumed, which can be called an unprecedented righteous act.

Liu Ze didn't expect that the matter of the porridge could end so quickly, and he was a lot more relaxed. On the same day, Guan Yu returned from Qingzhou, which can be described as a double happiness. Liu Ze held Guan Yu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time, and said with emotion: "Second brother, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Guan Yu's face was dusty, his beard under his chin was dyed red, and he smiled and said: "Thanks to the eldest brother, the younger brother is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he brought back three semicolons of 30 million taels of gold." Although Guan Yu smiled freely, Liu Ze could see from the bloodstains on his body that the hardships of this journey were self-evident.

Liu Ze immediately picked up the wind and washed the dust for Guan Yu in Fengyi Building, the largest restaurant in Luoyang, Zhang Fei and Jia Xu accompanied him, and Jian Yong did not arrive because he had to deal with the affairs of Qian Zhuang. After three rounds of drinking, Guan Yu told the process of the trip.

On that day, Guan Yu's fleet left Luoyang and went east along the Yellow River, and the road was smooth, and within three days, it had arrived in Jizhou. At that time, although Jizhou was the base camp of the Yellow Turban, at the beginning of the troubled times, there was no order, and there were people fleeing everywhere, with their children and daughters, and they did not choose the road. The scattered Yellow Turban Army burned and looted everywhere, but they did not pose any threat to Guan Yu and his party. Guan Yu arrived in Yecheng smoothly, took out all the money from the Jizhou branch, and transported it to the Yellow River crossing.

Next, Guan Yu went straight to Yanzhou. The situation in Yanzhou is similar to that of Jizhou, it is also chaotic, but it has not been surrounded by a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers, even if it is a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers, with Guan Yu's skills and hundreds of masters, it is simply a piece of cake.

From Yanzhou to the east, it is the country of Jinan, Qingzhou. The state city of Qingzhou is in Linzi, and the semicolon that connects the world is naturally built in Linzi, and Linzi is still hundreds of miles away from Jinan. Guan Yu arranged for Chen Gang and Wang Meng to take 100 men to guard the dart boat, and told them not to dock at the pier, but to go down the river to Haikou and return.

Along the way, Guan Yu found that although the Yellow Turban was powerful, it was often just attacking the city and plundering the county, and did not do anything on the waterway, so he selected a dart master who knew the water to guard the boat, but could only not dock, no matter how many Yellow Turban soldiers there was, there was nothing to be done, even if a small number of ships attacked, with Chen Gang, Wang Meng and a number of martial arts masters, it could be ensured. After all, there were 20 million taels of gold taken from the two semicolons on the ship, and Guan Yu didn't dare to be careless.

Chen Gang was a little worried, and said: "The second master is going to Linzi, I don't know how long it will take, I can't wait here, on the river, how can we guarantee to meet the second master?" ”

Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "This trip to Linzi, it will take three or four days at the earliest, we will meet here in a period of seven days, if you don't see me here after seven days, you only need to leave a few empty ships to wait here, and the rest will return to Luoyang quickly." ”

Chen Gang and Wang Meng obeyed the instructions. After Guan Yu said a few words to them, he left the Jinan ferry with more than ten dart masters including Zhou Cang and two hundred executioners and set off for Linzi.

Previously, Guan Yu and the others were all by boat, so there were no horses, Yecheng and Changyi were relatively close to the Yellow River, but it was a one-day trip, but Linzi was far away from the Yellow River, Guan Yu wanted to buy some horses, so that the speed would be faster. But this idea is just a thought, now that the army is in chaos, go there to find the merchants who sell horses, even if the land that had horses before has already been robbed by the Yellow Turban Army. Fortunately, these dart head dart masters under his command are used to running north and south of the river, and it is not unusual to take this road, Guan Yu made people show the dart flag of the dart game, and traveled all the way to the east.

There seemed to be more Yellow Turban soldiers on the road than there were in Jizhou, but Guan Yu and his party were waving the dart flag of the Dart Bureau, and they did not escort any vehicles, except for the weapons in their hands, so not only the Yellow Turbans but also the thieves ran far away and did not provoke them.

Three days later, Guan Yu and his entourage arrived in Linzi smoothly. Linzi is the former capital of Qi and the largest city in Qingzhou, but at this time, Linzi has lost the scene of Qidu's shoulder to shoulder and sweating like rain, and the pedestrians on the street are endless, and the line is in a hurry, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion brings people not only fear and disaster. Guan Yu didn't have the psychology to say goodbye, and went straight to the Qingzhou branch of Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang Wu sat and lay like pins and needles, and tens of millions of taels of gold were accumulated in Qianzhuang, like a knife hanging on his head, a knife that could kill at any time. Although the money village sent more people, Yu She, the head of the Linzi branch of the Yangwei Dart Bureau, also personally led dozens of executioners to sit in the money village, and the shopkeeper Wu had no bottom in his heart. In troubled times, something can happen.

Seeing Guan Yu, Shopkeeper Wu can be regarded as a savior. Guan Yu briefly explained his intentions, and the shopkeeper Wu hurriedly agreed, and immediately arranged for the guys to load the car. Ten million taels of gold were enough to hold hundreds of large chests, and hundreds of large boxes were loaded on dozens of carriages, and they were busy all morning. Unable to eat, Guan Yu and his party left Qianzhuang and headed for Jinan. Before leaving, Guan Yu ordered Yu to suspend all the business of the Yang Yang Dart Bureau, and all the manpower was transferred to Qianzhuang's side to effectively ensure the safety of Qianzhuang.

Originally, the dart flag of the dart board was eye-catching enough, and with dozens of big cars, it was too difficult not to attract attention. Walking all the way to the west, Guan Yu obviously felt that someone was snooping and following behind, and it was not just a group of people, obviously there were not a few people who played this batch of darts and silver.

Zhou Cang also seemed to know that someone was watching behind his back, and blurted out: "What birdman? Sneaky, you have the ability to come out and fight with your Grandpa Zhou for 300 rounds! Zhou Cang's face was not as dark as Zhang Fei, and his voice was not much lower than Zhang Fei's, but after he stopped drinking, he sank into the sea like a stone, and there was no echo. Zhou Cang said stupidly: "Fuck, Lao Tzu didn't have as much of a thief as these shrunken turtles." Guan Yu looked calm, and ordered the convoy to speed up, even if it was a night camp, it was brightly lit, and the sentry posts were rotated.

Seeing that Jinan Wharf was in front of them, everyone's hearts hanging in their throats finally let go. But a new problem came, because Guan Yu ordered the team to travel all the way and arrived at the Jinan wharf half a day ahead of schedule, and the fleet that had agreed on the seven-day period had not yet arrived at this time, and there was not a single boat on the wharf.

At this time, the west direction suddenly rushed into the sky, and there was a faint shout of a large group of people.
