Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 259 My brother is a filial man and will never betray him
Xu all.

Xunfu.

After a busy day, Xun Yu came back from the Chancellery and saw Ma Teng, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Yan Xing, and Han Sui's second son Han Hao sitting in the hall.

Seeing Xun Yu coming back, everyone stood up one after another.

Ma Teng hugged Xun Yu and said, "Xun Lingjun, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm really bored in Xudu, so I walked around."

Xun Yu smiled and nodded and said: "General Ma can come to this humble house, it will bring great brilliance!"

The servants brought tea and cakes and placed them in front of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu knelt down and sat down, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked: "General Ma, why are you here this time-"

Ma Teng smiled and said: "That's right, Xun Lingjun, you see, we have been here for so long, and we haven't heard from Quanzi and my daughter for a long time."

"Although Quanzi has passed his prime years, he has never led an army alone before."

"All the heroes in Guanzhong are all uncles."

"I'm really afraid that he will be too strict and offend them."

"Also, my little girl is also naughty and willful."

Xun Yu laughed and put down the tea cup.

Since Ma Teng and the others came to Xudu, their contacts with Liangzhou have indeed been controlled, just in case.

This means that Zhong Yao is so powerful that he can make them come over.

If it were you, you might not be able to do it.

Xun Yu comforted him: "Don't worry, General Ma. There is no news from there for the time being. This shows that your son and your daughter have done a good job. Otherwise, Captain Sili would have reported it long ago."

Ma Teng hummed, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it respectfully to Xun Yu's hand and said, "I have one more thing to trouble Xun Lingjun. This is a letter we wrote to Quanzi and my daughter. After all, there were no letters in the three dynasties last year. Together with them, please Xun Lingjun do me a favor."

Xun Yu took the letter, hid it in his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, General Ma. I will deliver it to the inn tomorrow so that the officials can rush it."

Ma Teng is leaving.

Two figures walked outside.

A young man with a rather immature face, a servant.

Ma Teng was about to get up and say goodbye.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "General Ma, it doesn't matter. They are all here to report their work. They will leave later. Everyone is here. Let's have a meal together later."

Ma Teng then sat down again and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

The young man and the servant came in.

They both bowed.

The young man said: "Li Dian has met Xun Lingjun!"

Xun Yu said: "Has everything at home been arranged? How many people have you brought?"

Li Dian said: "Thank you Xun Lingjun for caring about me. Everything at home has been arranged. This time, I brought two thousand steps. The men in the family, ranging from 12 to 40 years old, are all here."

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Your uncle and cousin both died fighting for the imperial court, and they are all loyal."

"Although you have always said that you don't want to be an official, someone in your Li family must take the lead and continue it."

"Before Sikong went to Guandu in the Three Dynasties last year, he repeatedly emphasized to me that he would give you the Li family a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"So, whether you are willing to accept it or not, for the sake of your Li family, you have to work hard to complete the task."

Li Dian clasped his fists and said, "I figured it out on the way here. Thank you Xun Lingjun for your teaching!"

Xun Yu said happily: "It's best to think about it."

"This mission is a bit difficult. It is to transport a batch of grain from Xudu to Guandu."

"Yuan Shao's cavalry has been elusive recently and often attacks long distances. You should pay attention."

"This batch of food is related to the rations of the soldiers at the front. It is extremely important. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Dian said: "Xun Lingjun, don't worry. On the way here, I have learned the sand table from Jiangdong. I specially made the sand table from Xudu to Guandu. I studied it day and night and know the terrain well. I will transport the grain carefully and make no mistakes." "

Xun Yu said with satisfaction: "Okay, then you can go and rest. Tomorrow, we will go to the warehouse to count."

Li Dian bowed again and withdrew.

Ma Teng glanced at Li Dian's retreating figure curiously, and asked Xun Lingjun: "Xun Lingjun, is this man very young? He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, right? He is taking over the important responsibilities of the family at such a young age? And, Sikong personally named him?"

Xun Yu sighed and said, "You are very young, but there is nothing you can do about it."

"His uncle and cousin were both veterans who followed Sikong, and they were very loyal and brave. However, they both died on the battlefield in the end."

"There are no capable people in this generation of his family."

"If we don't use him anymore, his family may be in decline."

"Sikong doesn't want the family of such a loyal and brave veteran to decline, so he can only forcefully name them."

Looking at Ma Teng, Xun Yu said: "General Ma, although Sikong doesn't have a very good reputation and has indeed done some wrong things, Sikong has always treated important officials in the imperial court with great courtesy."

Ma Teng hurriedly said: "Brothers Ma Teng and Han Sui absolutely support the imperial court and Sikong!"

Xun Yu then looked at the servant and said, "What's the matter?"

The servant stepped forward quickly, took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, and respectfully presented it with both hands: "The urgent letter from Wu County in Jiangdong has just been sent by the officials at the Shangshutai."

Xun Yu frowned and said angrily: "Why didn't you send an urgent letter to Wu County in Jiangdong earlier? It was a waste of time!"

He hurriedly grabbed the bamboo tube from the servant's hand, pulled out the cloth strips, opened it, and scanned it quickly. Xun Yu's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

Ma Teng asked tentatively: "Xun Lingjun?"

Xun Yu threw the strip of cloth directly at Ma Teng.

Xun Yu has always been gentle and gentle, but this is the first time Ma Teng has seen him lose his temper since he came to Xudu.

With doubts, Ma Teng picked up the cloth and glanced at it.

The next moment, he almost fainted.

Brothers Ma Tie and Ma Xiu rushed forward, supported him and said, "Father!"

Ma Xiu took the cloth from Ma Teng, glanced at it, and lost his voice: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My brother is famous for his filial piety in Liangzhou, so there is no way he would do such a thing!"

Yan Xing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward, took the cloth, and took a look.

His lips trembled slightly.

Looking at Xun Yu, Yan Xing breathed rapidly and said: "Impossible, Mr. Xun Ling! The second young master and I are still in Xudu. How could my father-in-law join forces with Ma Chao to rebel against the court and prepare for a surprise attack on Chang'an? This is definitely a frame-up!" Xun Yu! He said with a gloomy face: "You can see clearly who wrote this letter! It was written by Wu Hou himself!"

Yan Xing's legs and feet felt a little weak.

My ambition has not been fulfilled, but now I am going to be killed by that old thief Han Sui in Xudu?

In his early years, he did not want to marry the daughter of Han Sui, an old thief. Han Sui saw that he was very brave and forced him to marry him. He also said that he would pass on the family fortune to him.

Now, this is what happened?
Yan Xing looked firmly at Han Sui's second son, Han Hao.

Facing Yan Xing's cannibalistic gaze, Han Hao quickly grabbed the cloth and read it.

His hands and feet were cold.

I have always heard of people cheating on their father, but I never thought that my father would actually cheat on me!

Han Hao looked at Xun Yu, looked at his gloomy face, raised his head and whined.

Now that he encountered this situation, he would definitely die.

Rather than waiting to be tortured and killed, it is better to commit suicide.

Han Hao shed tears and said to Xun Lingjun: "I know that no matter what I say at this moment, it will all seem pale. Please ask Sikong for me when he sees my father in the future. He has harmed the child like this. How can he meet the child in hell? ?”

After saying that, he pulled out his sword and killed himself on the spot.

Seeing Han Hao's body lying in a pool of blood, Xun Yu took a long breath and said, "Someone, take them all into the dungeon, lock them up, and wait for Sikong to come back to judge!"

Ma Teng's eyes darkened and he fell down.

Outside, dozens of servants rushed in, dragged Han Hao's body down, and then tied up Yan Xing, the unconscious Ma Teng, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.

As Matthew was being dragged out, he wailed: "My brother is definitely not this kind of person. He is famous for his filial piety. There is absolutely no way he would betray us like this! Please Xun Lingjun, please be aware of it! Please be aware of it, Xun Lingjun! Otherwise, we will not die in peace! We will not die in peace." !”

Xun Lingjun watched Ma Teng and others being dragged down, and then asked his servants to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones, quickly wrote a letter, and sent people to Guandu in a hurry.

Marquis Wu hurriedly sent this letter, and more than ten days had passed.

Chang'an is absolutely doomed!

Now we must immediately remind Sikong to be on guard against a pincer attack from the west!

After Xun Yu sent someone to deliver the letter, he kept walking in the hall.

After a while, he stopped and urgently wrote another letter, in which he stated the interests of Jiangdong and the imperial court. Then he had people rush to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, to find Zhu Zhi, the acting pastor of Jingzhou.

Many of the capital was already empty, and there was no way to deploy troops and horses for defense.

Now we can only hope that Jingzhou will send troops from Wancheng to stop Ma Chao's troops at Tongguan.

At the same time.

Xuzhou.

Xiapi Military Camp.

Zhao Yunzheng trained troops and horses with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Tian Yu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others.

In the battle of Xiapi last year, they captured 590 Yuan Shao's cavalry and 320 horses.

Although some war horses were sent to Lujiang Taishi Ci.

However, there are still [-] war horses left in Xiapi.

After that, Zhao Yun incorporated these cavalry prisoners and horses into his own cavalry in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is not as arrogant as Yuan Shao.

Each of these cavalrymen was equipped with only two horses.

Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, and other cavalrymen from Xuzhou were organized together, forming a total of [-] cavalrymen.

Let Zhang Xiu lead him to practice every day.

As for the expenses, they are provided by various families in Xuzhou.

Although many families complained, with Zhang Zhao helping to mediate as Xuzhou Mu, he didn't bother to care about it.

At this time, Zhao Yun and other generals' eyes were bright as they watched the five thousand cavalry advance and retreat under Zhang Xiu's command.

Five thousand cavalry!

Ten thousand horses!

What a scale!

They couldn't even think about it before!
Zhang Liao joked: "General Zhang Xiu really has a good junior brother who can command so many cavalry!"

Zhao Yun blushed a little when he heard what Zhang Liao said.

It would be false to say there is no favoritism.

For Zhang Xiu, his senior brother, he regarded him as his only relative.

If there is a good thing, it is natural to share it with your loved ones.

He remembered that before setting off from Wu County, he told Wu Hou Lu Yi that he wanted to form five thousand cavalry, and asked Wu Hou Lu Yi if he was doing this, would he be too nepotistic?

Wu Hou Lu Yi said at the time: "If you don't use nepotism, then what are you doing to make great achievements? As long as your relatives are indeed capable, then boldly appoint them! This is what you deserve!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun blushed and hesitated: "He, he is my only relative, and he is capable, so I will definitely give him priority."

Zhang Liao, Tian Yu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others looked at each other and laughed.

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "If you have courage, a real villain is better than a hypocrite. I like this! To be honest, if I were you, Captain Zhao, I would do the same!"

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and said: "Generals, there is an urgent letter from Marquis Wu!"

Everyone's expressions became tense.

Zhao Yun stepped forward quickly, took the bamboo tube from the soldier's hand, pulled out the cloth, and started reading.

Zhang Liao and Tian Yu both looked ugly.

In the letter, Wu Hou Lu Yi asked them to immediately send troops to the north: first attack the Pingyuan port, and then the cavalry will make a surprise attack on the rear of Pingyuan to block the retreat of Yuan Shao's defenders in Pingyuan, and then let Zhao Yun lead the army to break the city!
The commanders of the garrison on the plain, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were old friends of Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu.

Zhao Yun's face also looked a little ugly.

After reading the content on the banner, Zhao Yun looked at the crowd and said, "What do you say?"

Zhang Liao took a long breath and said: "What else can I say about the order given by Marquis Wu? Take action immediately! We will take action late tonight. While there are no additional soldiers in the plain port, we will surprise the port. After taking it, General Zhang Xiu will lead Five thousand cavalry blocked the opponent's retreat."
