Bursts of fire outside the window, accompanied by hurried footsteps, like a bizarre scene in a nightmare, suddenly in the distance there were a few more cries, a few screams, which was even more bizarre.

He only took a careful look out of the curtain, then quickly retracted his head and rolled back to his straw mat.

The straw mat smelled musty, and because it was old and rotten, you could hear the sound of a few straw sticks breaking if you turned it over.

But he felt very relieved as he lay on the mat with his body temperature still on his shoulders and listened to the even breathing of his family.

When he lifted the curtain, one of the armorers turned his face and looked at him blankly.

Those eyes didn't look like a living person, but like they had come back from the Yellow Springs Road.

The pig-killing maid's heart was still beating fast, but he quickly warned himself to forget what he had just seen.

The nobles who have enjoyed the feast may be in trouble—but what does it have to do with him?

He drank the last bowl of pig brain soup tonight, and the master's family has killed fewer and fewer pigs in the past few days......

Xun Yu's face was extremely pale.

He sat in a small room, a small courtyard behind the governor's house, which had been used to store flammable debris, but now it was empty, so he took him in.

Although the house was empty, it was very sloppy, there were spiders forming webs on the beams, and fine sawdust floating on the ground, when Cheng Yu walked in, he saw that the corners of Xun Yu's robe were stained with dust, and his brows furrowed.

"I'll send a few more servants to clean up."

Xun Yu looked at him coldly.

"If you can sweep this room, can you also sweep away the stigma on me?"

The old man in front of him was not angry at all, he touched his beard, which was almost snow-white, and smiled proudly.

"If it weren't for Wen Ruo's heart of Yanzhou Shishu, this plan would indeed be difficult to achieve, and the lord will triumph in the coming day, and my brother will come to ask for sin, how about it?"

The dignified and solemn face gradually showed a look of extreme anger.

"I have won the hearts of the people, not because I am fame-seeking, but because I am thinking about the safety of the people of Yanzhou! And you're doing that—"

The smile on Cheng Yu's face disappeared.

"If Wen is a minister of the Ming Duke, why should he serve someone who has nothing to do with it?"

…… Irrelevant? Where is irrelevant? Yanzhou Shishu is categorically irrelevant, is Cheng Yu talking about Lu Lian?

Xun Yu was in a state of confusion, and just when he wanted to defend himself, Cheng Yu spoke again.

When he spoke, the face of this famous man of the Yingchuan Xun family faded all the blood in an instant.

"Yanzhou Shishu is full of rats! They don't want to die for Ming Gong, so I can only pick up the whip and drive them to serve and die," Cheng Yu said coldly, "In addition to the servants of each family, I will also be all the Ding Zhuang in the city and be incorporated into the army and collect food——"

"Cheng Yu! Are you crazy?! Xun Yu shouted angrily unbearably, "You have collected the grain, how do you want the old and young women and children to live?!" ”

The old man looked at Xun Yu condescendingly, a smile of pity and contempt on his face.

He finally gathered a support army to light the way back for Ming Gong.

Chapter 439

When Xianrong's division began to attack Cangtingjin, Xu You did not stand still.

Since his former army had crossed the river, why was it trapped by the river? is calmly unfolding the formation, so that the Jizhou army continues to move forward, separating Qingxu.

There is only one fly in the ointment. He had not yet captured Cangtingjin, there was no ferry, there were not many ships, and the grain and grass of Jizhou could not be sent across the river quickly.

But Xu You is a shrewd and lucky man.

The weather was nice, and the dirt road that had rained gradually solidified in the sun and became hard again, so the wheels were not particularly bumpy to walk on.

There were many cushions in his car, so that he could sit comfortably on the car, his eyes half-open and half-closed, watching the rainbow-like flags in front of him over the mountains, and watching the magnificent army under his banner gather into a long river of steel.

It's just that there is a shortage of people, and he thinks it would be better to have more grain and grass.

Someone was cleaning the remaining blood on the stone pavement of the city.

They all had their heads down, and they couldn't see their looks clearly, but they all had the same gray hair and the same ragged clothes, so it didn't matter if they couldn't see their looks clearly.

Someone passed by them, and they didn't look up.

He neither raised his head nor made a sound, as if he had completely lost his reaction to the outside world.

First the sound of horses' hooves passed, and occasionally the sound of armor rubbing against the saddle;

Then there was a banner in the wind, which made a rather majestic sound;

And the hilt of the halberd struck the ground with a heavy and terrible sound;

Then the footsteps became chaotic, some people were scolding, some people were crying in low voices......

Suddenly, a petite figure passed by them and pounced into the ranks, "Aya! Ayer! Bring this bag of cakes! ”

"You idiot!" The little woman's father scolded, "This is for you and your mother!" Get it back! ”

The team suddenly became a little confused.

Someone hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the little girl away, and someone snatched the package.

"That's my family's food! Elegant! My wife and daughter also need a way to live! ”

Suddenly, there was a series of screams.

The old servants who cleaned the blood stains on the side of the road kept their heads down, and the work in their hands was more neat.

"I knew there was bread in this city." A voice said coldly.

The military general in military uniform looked at this scene, his lips trembled slightly, but he was speechless.

But Cheng Yu turned his gaze back, in a good mood, "Yuan asked this batch of reinforcements to be sent to the main public camp, and Liu Bei will just have it in his pocket at that time!" ”

"I'll take all the soldiers away," Xiahoudun finally spoke, "Zhongde guards the city alone......"

The big families in the city are endless, and their servants have been taken away, but they still have clansmen, and side branches, and even if they can't cage the city, there are many relatives in the nearby counties.

Those people will come, and they will all want to avenge the guests who went to the Hongmen banquet the day before.

And Cheng Yu had no guards around him except for a dozen servants.

But the old man with a white beard had no fear on his face, and his eyes were facing the morning light, dyed with a golden red color, and he was extremely arrogant.

"If the lord's army can recover," he sneered, "how dare those rats make a mistake?!" ”

Cheng Yu stood on the city gate and watched Xiahoudun leave condescendingly, but did not immediately return to his mansion.

He was very excited, but he was still a little inexplicably worried, so he wanted to take advantage of the cold wind of the Mid-Autumn Festival to gradually calm down his agitated mind, and think about it carefully, what was still lacking.

Lu Lian has already gone south, which is true, but the lord and Liu Bei have not yet decided the winner, and the Yanzhou scholars dare not openly throw herself into her, besides, she has just arrived in Chenliu, and it will take time to come to Juancheng.

But what if she arrives in Juancheng?

The Son of Heaven has arrived in Xiapi, but there are still queens and little princes in Juancheng, Cheng Yu thought, they can never be handed over to Liu Bei, and they can be tied up and taken away if necessary.

But he didn't have to worry too much about Lu Lian, after all, the Jizhou army had already crossed the river, and Yuan Shao's pro-army would not be like the Wuhuan people......

When Cheng Yu thought of the "Jizhou Army", his brows suddenly furrowed.

It seemed that because of his old age and the fact that he hadn't slept all night, his heart suddenly beat violently twice.

A cavalry ran into the gates.

"Envoy! Thirty miles to the northeast, there is a Jizhou army! It was General Xu You who led the troops! ”

Cheng Yu nodded in a trance, and the cavalryman continued to report loudly: "When General Xiahou heard this, he stopped to rest for a while, and sent someone to send cattle wine to welcome General Xu——"

The old man's pupils locked in an instant!

His heart also began to beat violently and irrepressibly, and each blow was like a sledgehammer, smashing on his chest!

"Xiahou Yuan is so stupid!" He scolded, "You, go back and report the news!" Tell him! Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't stop! ”

Xiahoudun's reinforcements only stayed for a moment, and the long, beautiful Jizhou army with a rainbow flag caught up.

Not only was the flag beautiful, but the soldiers were also dressed in such a neat and grand manner, and the chief general who got off the carriage was also a very familiar person, shook his hand affectionately, and asked him to rest for a while in the tent set up by the soldiers.

Although the tent had just been moved off the cart, while the two were reminiscing, the servants had already put out a table of very elegant side dishes, including candied fruit, jerky, fresh vegetables packed with oil and salt, hot roasted meat that had just been brought in from outside the tent, and even an urn of live fish.

The thinly sliced fish is still beating slightly.

"Cao Gong and I have been friends for many years, and I have known Yuan Rang for many years! Seeing Yuan Rang again today, my heart is very happy! Xu You said loudly, "I must respect you!" ”

Xiahoudun's face, which was always light, couldn't help but float a slightly embarrassed red.

He couldn't have imagined that Xu You would be so polite, after all, now the lord is trapped in Xiangcheng, and many counties and counties in Yanzhou have a heart of disobedience, he is trapped in a lonely city, and he has to rely on the help of the Jizhou army, so when he sent Niu Wine, he already thought of Xu You's arrogant face.

But he was so polite!

With tears in his eyes, Xiahou drank a glass of wine, and Xu Yu immediately poured it for him.

"General Xu—"

"I call you Yuanrang! What do you call me! Xu You shouted angrily, "It's so estranged! ”

So Xiahoudun could only drink the second wine, and shouted far away.

Some Yanzhou soldiers hurried to the camp and were stopped by Xu Yu's pro-army.

"What's that?"

Xiahoudun took the silk bag and glanced at it, "It's Cheng Zhongde's letter, and it's allowed below-"

A hand reached over and pressed him against his seat.

"What letter? Can you reunite with me for a moment? Xu Yu said undoubtedly, "Since you and I have dissected our hearts and livers, we will ignore these floating words!" ”

Xiahoudun drank a third wine.

When the strength of wine gradually came to his heart, the military general that Cao Cao relied on the most did not fall into a drowsy state as Xu Yu expected.

His thoughts became clearer and clearer, and Xu Yu's enthusiasm could no longer hide the strangeness.

He just walked dozens of miles, why did Cheng Yu send him a letter?

Cheng Yu put his own safety at risk, apart from the lord, what else is worth his hurried pursuit to deliver the letter?

Only Xu You.
