Personally, the death of Bao Xin, a close friend, made Cao Mengde feel sad. But as far as the overall situation is concerned, Bao Xin's death in battle is a good thing.

Because except for Bao Xin, no one in Yanzhou can point fingers at Cao Mengde.

First Liu Dai, then Bao Xin, the people who prevented Cao Mengde from completely controlling Yanzhou were all dead.

And their death has nothing to do with Cao Mengde, and it does not damage Cao Mengde's reputation.

What is it?

This is providence.

Cheng Yu thought to himself, the lord he worshipped, first there was a person like Zhao Yu who was almost an immortal family to go out of the mountain to help, and then there were all kinds of roadblocks one by one because of the will of heaven, so that the heavenly avenue was opened, it seems that Cao Mengde is really destiny!

Cao Mengde was grieving and didn't know what Cheng Yu was thinking.

But in addition to grief, Cao Mengde is very clear in his heart.

He also knew that as soon as Bao Xin went, there would be no one who could stop him in this Yanzhou.

Cao Mengde is a hero, but at the same time, he is a little literate, saying that he is ruthless or affectionate, this is all him. Or later Cao Mengde's headaches, maybe because of this - because he thought too much.

"My lord, now is not the time to hurt. ”

Cheng Yu said at this time: "Liang Fu's yellow scarf..."

When Cao Mengde heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and he said hatefully: "I will kill all Liang Fu's yellow scarves and avenge Yuncheng!"

Cheng Yu shook his head slightly: "Liang Fu's yellow scarves are hundreds of thousands, the old and the young, the lord wants to kill them all?"

Cao Mengde was stunned for a moment, suddenly calmed down, and sighed: "What Mr. Zhongde said is right, I lost my words. ”

Then he said: "Yuncheng didn't listen to me, insisted on attacking Liang Fu, the clay pot was not broken from the well, and the general would inevitably die in battle, this was also his own choice..."

So he lifted his spirits: "Mr. Zhongde, I'll leave it to you here." He grabbed Cheng Yu's arm and said deeply: "Hundreds of thousands of people, you must make good arrangements, and there can be no mistakes." ”

Cheng Yu bowed: "Don't worry, lord." ”

So Cao Mengde divided his 5,000 soldiers and horses into 2,000 steel armor elite soldiers and handed them over to Cheng Yu to command them to deter and suppress these hundreds of thousands of surrenderers, and he took the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses and went straight to Chengxian.

At the beginning of Cao Mengde, when he went to Hanoi, he was in Zhongmou, and there were only more than 1,000 people. Later, Xiahou Yuan returned from Yangzhou first and brought back 2,000, and then Xiahoudun brought back 3,000. In total, there are only about 6,000 people. When he was in Hanoi, Cao Mengde recruited a few, and the number of soldiers and horses reached 8,000. came to this level, after Liu Dai died, there were six or seven thousand left, and he laid off the old and weak, leaving three thousand, excluding the losses of Lian Zhan, there were about 10,000 people.

Of these 10,000 people, 6,000 were already wearing stainless steel armor and weapons, and only 4,000 were ordinary. Originally from 5,000, this short period of time has been built one after another.

Xiahoudun brought 5,000 Liangfu yellow scarves in Chengxian County, including 1,000 steel-armored elite soldiers, and Cao Mengde's here, 5,000 soldiers and horses are all steel-armored elite soldiers. Previously, Cao Chun was ordered to rescue Bao Xin and take away 2,000, and then give 2,000 to Cheng Yu, but he only had 1,000 left.

But it's only a thousand, and it's also a great combat force.

The armor and weapons made of stainless steel refined by Zhao Zhuang are sharp and strong, which greatly enhances the combat ability of the soldiers. Even if it's only a thousand, it can dominate the world. What's more, the opponent is nothing more than a rabble?

Leaving two thousand to Cheng Yu is also a precaution. These descenders who have been trained by Zhao Yu have long dared not resist. The blood on the street from the city gate to the county government has not been cleaned up, and the collapsed and burned county government has a white ground, which makes these people dare not think about it anymore. What's more, the thorns in it have already been cleaned up by Zhao Yu, and there is no noise from the leader, so naturally it can't be messed up. With Cheng Yu's ability, with these two thousand steel armor elite soldiers, he will definitely not make any mistakes.

So Cao Mengde was relieved and boldly took the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses to Bencheng County.

More than 20 people in Zhao Yu went east overnight, looking at the North Sea and running wildly.

Of these more than 20 people, ten of them were the first ten horsemen to follow him. There are more than ten people left, that is, Guan Ming, and more than ten leaders who were not killed by Zhao Yu.

These people will have to follow Zhao Yu in the future.

These leaders, whether they are human or not, cannot be released into the Pawn. If there is a leader, there is a backbone, hundreds of thousands of descendants, once there is a backbone, Cao Mengde will be embarrassed.

As for the hundreds of people under Guan Ming, they were all handed over to Cheng Yu, and those hundreds of people were not bad, and they would be a nest of heroes. Guan Ming is not a beast, and the hundreds of people under his command are not beasts.

"Where did Guan Hai attack Beihai?"

Zhao Yu asked all the way.

Guan Ming shook his head on the horse's back and said, "The villain doesn't know either." ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

Where Guan Hai wants to fight from, I'm afraid that when he sends out his own troops, he doesn't have a specific plan. This is the distinguishing feature of the rabble.

"Then let's go to Beihai first, and then we will investigate in Beihai. ”

Starting from Bo County, Taishan County, it is hundreds of miles away to Beihai. It is necessary to pass through the four counties of Fenggao, Yingxian, Mu and Laiwu, and then pass through Linqu of Qi State, which is Beihai Country.

Hundreds of miles, even if it is a thousand miles, it can't stand the continuous wild running, so every time he walks, he has to stop and rest for half an hour, and it takes two days to reach the country of Qi.

It is embellished with the traces of Guanhai's army - Guanhai's hundreds of thousands of troops, all the way through, leaving a mess, and the time is not long apart, even if you are blind, you will not ignore it.

"It seems that Guan Hai plans to go straight to Beihai Zhisu County. ”

Zhao Yu grabbed the reins, looked ahead, and said to Guan Ming: "You take a few people to take a look, if Guan Hai's army besieges Xixian County, you will come back immediately and inform me." ”

When Guan Ming heard this, his face was overjoyed: "Oh!"

Waiting for Guan Ming to leave, Zhao Yu and the remaining dozen or so people took a short rest and continued to move forward.

Soon after, a horse came rushing head-on.

Zhao Yu took a closer look and found that although this horse was whipped again and again, and the horse galloped, he was not flustered. On his left side of the hook of victory, a spear was hung, and on his right side hung a large bow, and the quiver on his back was faintly visible with the bullying on the horse's back.

If it was just like that, Zhao Yu wouldn't have paid attention to it.

The key is that there is a person on the back of this person's horse, who is it if it is not Guan Ming?

Before Zhao Yu could speak, the person on the back of the galloping horse shouted: "100,000 are in a hurry, get out of the way quickly." I am Donglai Tai Shi Ci, the thieves are besieging the city, the drama county is in danger, I go to ask for help, and I can't stop it!"

"Tai Shi Ci?"

Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, revealing the original look.

At this moment, Zhao Yu's heart has turned a few times.

According to the original historical trend, Cao Mengde held on to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban for a long time after Liu Dai's death, and it was not until next year, that is, in 193, that Cao Mengde took control of Yanzhou and integrated his forces, Guan Hai would not be able to support it, and then change direction and attack Beihai. And Tai Shici also began to emerge here.

Tai Shi Ci is rarely brave, unparalleled in faith and righteousness, and is famous in the township. Even Kong Rong knew him. He also sent people to conquer him many times.

However, it was precisely because of one thing that he had a reputation for faith and righteousness, but he also hated the officials in the state, and had to go to Liaodong to avoid trouble.

Therefore, Kong Rong has repeatedly been unable to conquer.

When Guanhai besieged and attacked Beihai, Tai Shici happened to return from Liaodong, and his mother persuaded him to help Kong Rong. Kong Rong asked for help from Liu Bei in the plains, so he sent Tai Shici to break out of the siege and go to the plains.

But now it's only 192, and although winter is about to begin, it's not yet 193.

But in an instant, Zhao Yu figured it out.

Tai Shi Ci is filial, he avoids trouble in Liaodong, but his mother is in Donglai. Because of the cold in Liaodong, and my mother is getting old, she can't go to Liaodong. Therefore, he must sneak back every year and do his filial piety to his mother's knees.

"Wait. ”

Zhao Yu pulled out his horse to block the road, and said, "Are you Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ziyi?"

Tai Shi Ci was skilled in bowing horses, and when he saw Zhao Yu suddenly pulling out his horse to block the road, he did not panic, he grabbed the reins, and Herod's horse neighed, just stopped in front of Zhao Yu, he looked uneasy, but he was not rude, and arched his hand and said: "Why did this gentleman stop me?

Zhao Yu flicked his sleeves to interrupt his words and said, "I know that the county is besieged, and I also know that it is the Yellow Turban Guan Hai." Are you Tai Shi Ci?"

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath and touched the spear on the hook of victory: "I am Tai Shi Ci." ”

"Okay," Zhao Yu laughed: "You want to go to the plains to ask for help from Liu Bei?"

"How do you know?!"

Tai Shi Ci was shocked, pulled out his horse and retreated a few steps, took off his spear with a sonorous sound, and pointed the spearhead at Zhao Yu: "Are you and that yellow turban thief all the way?!"

The words did not fall, and with a buzz, the long hair in Tai Shici's palm shook, and a little cold star appeared, heading straight for Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu saw it clearly, and among the little cold stars, there was a bit of sharpness, which was facing his throat.

"Good spear technique. ”

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, slowly stretched out a finger, and pointed it on the spearhead with great accuracy, and when he heard a click, the spearhead was broken, Tai Shici was like thunder, his face turned red, his arms trembled, and his whole body was numb.

"Who the hell are you!"

Tai Shi Ci was extremely shocked in his heart, in this world, there would be such a powerful person?!

Zhao Yu retracted his finger and said with a smile: "I stopped you, not because I had anything to do with Guan Hai, but because of the person on your horseback." ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned, looked down at the person who was held by him on the back of the horse before, and blurted out: "Do you know this person?!"

Zhao Yu nodded and smiled: "Exactly." You took my retinue, and you said I couldn't stop you?"

Tai Shi Ci suddenly felt embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

Then Zhao Yu turned over and dismounted, and untied Guan Ming from Tai Shi Ci's horse, and at the center of his eyebrows, Guan Ming suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly: "You..."

"Shut up. ”

Zhao Yu said: "What's the matter?"

So I learned what happened from Guan Ming and Tai Shici.

It turned out that Guan Ming took people to the city of Xixian County, and before he arrived, he saw Tai Shi Ci riding a horse.

Tai Shi Ci also shouted like that, and as soon as Guan Ming heard it, he knew that this Tai Shi Ci was Guan Hai's opponent. He thought to himself that Guan Hai was his boss, and now that Zhao Yu had come to solve the matter, he planned to leave Tai Shici behind and not let him ask for help.

But as soon as he started his hand, he was blinded.

How many people are there, where is Tai Shici's opponent?

Fortunately, Guan Ming didn't say that he was a yellow scarf, Tai Shi Ci didn't be ruthless, everyone else was knocked unconscious, and Guan Ming was held by Tai Shi Ci, planning to stay away from the drama county, and when Ma was tired, he came to ask him the reason.
