Chapter 295: A Deliberately Arranged Assassination
"Drive them all away, and those who refuse to leave, kill!"
Yang Zhao didn't mean to be soft-hearted, and ordered coldly.
They can help them, but there is no need, after all, they are from Xuzhou, and they have to let Tao Qian come to the rescue, not to mention that there are so many homeless people here, save one, and then a large group will come over to surround you and not let you go.
At this time, only when they are killed, these homeless people will be afraid when they see the blood shedding.
Yang Zhao didn't want to kill them yet, just drive them away.
Several tiger guards drew their swords out of their sheaths and were about to drive people away, but at this moment, a cold light flashed in the sleeve of one of the homeless people, and rushed straight to Yang Zhao's chest.
It was a dagger that had been thrown.
Clang!
Seeing that his hand was fast, Yang Zhao drew his sword and knocked the dagger down.
The other homeless people immediately pulled out the daggers hidden on their bodies, and killed the few tiger guards who were going to drive people away, and first attacked the homeless people, and led two people to Yang Zhao.
In their hands, there was another dagger, one stabbed the war horse that Yang Zhao was sitting on, and the other two flew up and attacked Yang Zhao.
This happened so fast!
The attack also came suddenly.
But the tiger guard's reaction was not slow, and when he saw someone attacking, the tiger guard who drove people immediately raised his knife to block, and the other tiger guards directly took out their bows and crossbows to shoot, and shot those homeless people who stood in the way.
The homeless man who was going to kill the war horse, as soon as he made a move, Xu Chu next to him rode his horse and rushed over, directly crashing into this person, the front hooves of the war horse were raised, kicking the person away, spitting blood, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Yang Zhao drew his sword again, and the two jumped up to kill their own homeless people, and the two swords were solved.
More than a dozen corpses, lying on the ground in the blink of an eye.
The remaining displaced people in the vicinity all trembled when they saw this scene, and then dispersed in a hurry, never daring to stay anymore.
"Retreat three miles, set up camp again, keep the corpse and don't move, let people go to Xiapi, and tell Tao Xuzhou what happened here!"
Yang Zhao said loudly: "I'll see how he gives me an explanation!" ”
Tiger Guard moves quickly.
But in a few moments, a camp stood on the plain.
The person who went to deliver the message to Tao Qian had already gone south.
Yang Zhao was not angry, these may be Zhang Ning's arrangements, and they are in the plan.
"Lord, those assassins are the people of the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao, right?" Xu Chu also thought about this.
"Maybe, maybe not!"
Yang Zhao hadn't met with Zhang Ning yet, so he thought it was possible.
After all, there are more and more people who want to kill him now.
Not only Yuan Shao's brothers, but also one more Cao Cao.
"Heighten your guard!"
Yang Zhao added.
Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is gradually snowing in Xuzhou.
The corpses outside the camp were inadvertently covered with a layer of snowflakes.
On the third day after the snowfall, Tao Qian finally led a large number of soldiers from Xiapi, walked into the camp and first asked, "Yang Yuanjun, are you okay?" ”
"If I had something, I would have been in the East China Sea by now."
Yang Zhao went outside, looked at the frozen corpses, and said, "I was assassinated in your Xuzhou, should you also take responsibility?" ”
"Envoy, this ...... It's none of my business! ”
Tao Qian knew that Yang Zhao had brought himself in, and the trouble would definitely be not small, but he was depressed again, Yang Zhao was full of enemies, what does the assassination have to do with me?
Cao Cao, who negotiated a few days ago, couldn't wait to swallow you alive.
"There are a lot of displaced people from outside Xuzhou, and these assassins can't judge their identity and origin, and they are not necessarily from our Xuzhou." Tao Qian wanted to cry without tears.
Yang Zhao said: "I didn't say it, it has something to do with you, but the assassin appeared in your Xuzhou, and it is reasonable for you to help check it, right?" ”
Tao Qian nodded and said, "Reasonable, of course reasonable!" ”
Yang Zhao said again: "It's reasonable, I'll arrange someone to stay and check with you, that's it, let's go back to the camp!" ”
Then, he really left.
Tao Qian looked confused, he couldn't believe that Yang Zhao had brought him in, just asking him to help check the origin of the assassin, and he didn't even blackmail, which was very different from Yang Zhao's usual style.
Seeing Yang Zhao leading his troops away gradually, Tao Qian eased up, he really wasn't blackmailed, he could only say in a loud voice: "Bring back the corpses of those assassins and find out for me!" ”
More than a dozen soldiers, immediately went to move the corpses.
"Lord, there is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not!"
Zhao Yu beside him said.
Tao Qian said: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Zhao Yu said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I accidentally discovered that Zhang Min gathered a group of people to go north and did it very mysteriously, could this matter be done by General Zhang?" ”
"Impossible!"
Tao Qian thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Between them, there is no grievance or hatred, no, this matter does not need to be mentioned again!" ”
Zhao Yu can only let go of various thoughts for the time being.
When the soldiers had disposed of the bodies, they returned to Xiapi.
——
Yang Zhao went all the way north until Langya.
"Lord!"
Recruit and pawn them, and come to greet them first.
Yang Zhao asked, "After taking over Langya, everything is normal, right?" ”
He nodded and said: "Everything is normal, Zhuge Xuan, the Taishou here, is very cooperative with us, and we can't find a second person to be the Taishou for the time being, so we will let him replace him temporarily." ”
"Zhuge Xuan?"
Yang Zhao thought about it again, this person seemed to be Zhuge Liang's uncle.
According to the original trajectory, because Cao Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou and slaughter Xuzhou, Zhuge Xuan led the Zhuge Liang brothers south to Jingzhou, and now Cao Cao did not do this, Zhuge Xuan did not leave, and became Langya Taishou?
"Bring him to me." Yang Zhao said again, "Let's go to the city!" ”
Langya has their garrison, back to their own turf, can finally relax.
After entering the city, he arranged a post house for Yang Zhao to rest, and then asked people to send Langya's various documents, as well as the latest news of the shadow, to Yang Zhao in the guest room.
They did a really good job of recruiting them, cooperating with Zhuge Xuan, handling Langya's affairs in a neat and orderly manner, and the county changed hands without any turmoil.
"Lord, Zhuge Taishou is here."
At this time, Dian Wei came and knocked on the door.
"Quick!"
After a while, a middle-aged man came to Yang Zhao.
"I've seen the lord!"
Zhuge Xuan is very conscious, and he can be regarded as a direct recognition of the master.
Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Sit!" ”
After he sat down, Yang Zhao asked again: "Zhuge Taishou, is it sincere and obedient?" ”
"At the beginning, I had to surrender, not sincerely, but after a period of time under the command of the two generals of the lord, I got the news that Tao Xuzhou ceded Langya, and I thought it would be better to be sincere and obedient, recognize the lord as the master, and let the lord send him!"
Zhuge Xuan is also honest, and if he is not sincere, he dares to say it.
Yang Zhao was not angry, but appreciated his performance, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will hand over Langya County to you, and at the same time, I will arrange a group of garrisons to help you guard Langya." ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhuge Xuan bowed, saying that the garrison was guarding Langya, but in fact, he was still monitoring himself for a period of time.
He understands!
But it won't be said directly.
