The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 428: Changes in the North
At night, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others still failed to discuss how to attack Shouchun City. Not only because Yang Ji and Chen Qun determined the attack plan with just a few words, but also because Cao Cao did not clean up the battlefield before dark.

Although the battle was over in less than an hour, there were many wounded on the battlefield, not only our own wounded, but also the enemy... Oh, now they should be prisoners, and they need to be handled with care. The soldiers cleaning the battlefield don’t know whether the people lying on the ground are dead or not, so this is when Cao Cao needs to confirm it.

From here we can see how hastily Yang Ji's secret technique of surviving was launched. Many supporting equipment was not yet available. Yang Ji simply made up a secret technique on the spot to detect soldiers who were not yet dead.

However, because this secret technique of detection was created by hand on the spot, the underlying architecture had not had time to be optimized and adjusted, so it could only be used by warriors and spiritual thinkers who had reached the Qigong level or above.

It was for this reason that Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Chen Dao and Cao Ren were busy until the late night to check all the soldiers who fell on the battlefield, and then sent them all to the medical camp for treatment.

Finally, it is necessary to determine how many of these soldiers survived after receiving treatment, how many were seriously injured or slightly injured, how many would never return to the battlefield again, how many could return to the battlefield in a short time, etc. These data all need to be counted, and after the statistics are completed, they will be submitted to the coach for review and signature.

After that, it will be sent to Fenggao for Liu Bei to review, sign and archive. There are several more processes behind it. Although those processes are closely related to the soldiers on the front line, they do not need to pay close attention to them personally. They only need to focus on the final result.

After dealing with these matters that night, the army still failed to break camp on time the next day because Zhao Yun, who was originally scheduled to come and receive the prisoners, did not show up at the scheduled time. This matter was a bit serious, as Zhao Yun was not the kind of person who did not keep his promises.

"Are the aristocratic families in Xuzhou so powerful that they can hold back General Zhao's White Horse Volunteers and elite soldiers?" Cheng Yu was very puzzled and asked Chen Qun for advice. Chen Qun was the only one who knew the aristocratic families best here. Although Cao Cao and he were also from aristocratic families, they were nothing compared to the Chen family of Yingchuan.

"This..." Chen Qun was also very surprised. Although the fighting power of the aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty was not bad, it would be better to forget it if they really wanted to fight against the elite soldiers like the Rui Shi. The private soldiers of the aristocratic families could not even stop the Yellow Turban Army, let alone the Rui Shi of the double talent level.

"Lian Changwen, don't you know about the Xuzhou aristocratic families?" Cao Cao frowned. Although his family was also in Xuzhou, he had only moved here for a few years and did not have a very deep understanding of the local aristocratic families.

"It is impossible for the Xuzhou noble family to stop Zilong. I guess they were delayed by something. Otherwise, with Zilong's character, he would have sent the White Horse Volunteers across the river to inform us long ago." Yang Ji did not think that there was any problem with the Xuzhou noble family. He probably had a headache about how to deal with the Xuzhou noble family, and then wasted time.

"That's true." Everyone thought about it and felt that the Xuzhou noble families had no chance of stopping Zhao Yun. Even if the Baima Yicong were unable to carry out sieges and street fighting, the Rui Shi were very good at street fighting. They didn't think that a force would suddenly emerge in Xuzhou that could fight the Rui Shi in the city.

What's more, Taishan County, the gateway to Xuzhou, is where Liu Bei's base camp is located. If someone could send an army there silently, Hua Xiong stationed at Taishan would just bang his head against a wall and die, and Jia Xu, who is in charge of intelligence, might as well bang his head against a wall. Anyway, every one of Liu Bei's men might as well bang their heads against a wall.

In Yangzhou, Yang Ji, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are fighting. No stupid commander would let the army pass through here. If they are caught, they will be dealt with by the entire army.

In this case, the only thing left is Yuzhou. With the power of the Runan Yuan family in Yuzhou, it should not be difficult to quietly send an army into Xuzhou, right?

The case was solved. The reason why Yuan Shu returned to Yuzhou could be that he realized this. After all, he was the heir to the Yuan family of Runan. If Yuan Shao wanted to use the power of the Yuan family in Yuzhou, he would definitely not be able to hide it from him as the head of the family.

"So should we continue to wait for General Zhao, or leave some troops to guard the prisoners and have the rest of the troops head directly to Shouchun?" Chen Qun asked Yang Ji. Since they had already confirmed that there would be no problems with Zhao Yun in Xuzhou, their question now was whether or not to continue waiting for Zhao Yun's arrival.

"No need to wait, Zilong is here." Yang Ji looked up and saw a white light appearing in Jiangbei. The white light was originally the size of a grain of rice, but it became the size of a peanut as soon as Yang Ji finished speaking.

When Cao Cao and others followed Yang Ji's gaze, the peanut-sized white light had become the size of a fist, and then a sound explosion was heard, which was consistent with the law that light is faster than sound.

While Cao Cao and others were stunned, the Night-Shining Jade Lion had already appeared on the south bank with Zhao Yun on its back. Zhao Yun and the Night-Shining Jade Lion's aura even caused a reaction from the army.

"Whoa--" After flying around in the sky, Zhao Yun landed at the gate of the camp and waited quietly for Yang Ji and others to come out to pick him up. Although the guards at the gate knew Zhao Yun, this was a military camp after all, and there had to be rules. Zhao Yun was not willing to break the established military regulations.

"Zilong, what happened in Xuzhou?" Yang Ji and his men found Zhao Yun. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Ji asked Zhao Yun directly. He was somewhat curious about the current situation in Xuzhou, which had caused Zhao Yun to break his promise.

You have to know that the distance from Xia Pi to here is no more than half an hour for a master of internal Qi leaving the body like Zhao Yun. What's more, Zhao Yun also has the Night-Shining Jade Lion, so the time Zhao Yun needs is even less than that of an ordinary person who can use internal Qi to leave the body.

"It's nothing. I just went back to Fenggao two days ago and invited Wenru to Xuzhou to take charge." Zhao Yun calmly said the words that made Yang Ji change color.

"What? Wenru was invited from Fenggao to Xuzhou?" Yang Ji swallowed. What on earth did those noble families in Xuzhou do to make Zhao Yun call Li You from Fenggao to Xuzhou to take charge?

However, Yang Ji found something strange. Since Zhao Yun had called Li You over, he actually told him that there was nothing wrong in Xuzhou. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?

Cao Cao, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others were all shocked. Zhao Yun actually moved Li You from Fenggao to Xuzhou. This represented so many things. You have to know that that was Li You. What on earth were Chen Deng and Xi Zhicai doing that they let Zhao Yun invite this person to Xuzhou?

"My family in Xuzhou is only part of the reason. The more important thing is that my lord has transferred me to Licheng for garrison." Zhao Yun exhaled, and said to Yang Ji with an inexplicable light in his eyes. "Ah?" Yang Ji was shocked by the news. Oh my god, Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others actually transferred Zhao Yun to Licheng. What big thing has Yuan Shao in Jizhou done again?

"Does Yuan Benchu ​​want to start a war on two fronts?" Yang Ji said very puzzled. If it was not for this reason, Yang Ji could hardly imagine what could have made Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others urgently dispatch Zhao Yun to Licheng, especially when Zhang Fei was stationed in Licheng.

"It would be fine if only Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to start a war on two fronts." Zhao Yun shook his head and continued, "The Central Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei joined forces with the Wuhuan and went south to Youzhou, saying that they wanted to seek revenge on General Gongsun." Zhao Yun's expression also looked a little strange. The northern barbarians wanted to seek revenge on Gongsun Zan. Are they sure they were not fooled by others?

"It is precisely because the foreign tribes north of Youzhou have moved south again that General Gongsun no longer intends to continue fighting with Yuan Benchu. He wants to withdraw his troops to defend Youzhou and let the foreign tribes in the northern border recall the snow-white swords of the White Horse Volunteers.

Zichuan and his men suspected that the Xianbei and Wuhuan's southward march was premeditated, so they ordered me to take my White Horse Volunteers to Licheng to wait for orders. If there is any change in Youzhou, I will immediately go to Youzhou to assist General Gongsun in resisting the invasion of Youzhou by the northern border tribes. "

Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes and said that if anyone were to collude with the foreign races in the northern border, the first person Zhao Yun would suspect would be Jizhou. After all, they had the greatest motive and vested interests.

"The foreign tribes in the northern border are invading the south?" Yang Ji frowned. Didn't Gongsun Zan just clear out the grasslands north of Youzhou a few months ago? Why are they coming again? It hasn't even been a year yet?
Yang Ji thought for a while and asked Zhao Yun, "What's the current situation in Jizhou, and what's the situation in Bingzhou?" Yang Ji suspected that the Northern Huns had acted in advance. After all, the current Northern Huns Khan Huyan Chu possessed spiritual talents. God knows what this guy saw in his three predictions of the future each year that led to the Northern Huns' early action.

"Bingzhou?" Zhao Yun did not answer immediately about Jizhou's recent developments. Zhao Yun could hear that compared to Jizhou, Yang Ji was more concerned about the situation in Bingzhou.

"Until I cooperated with Wenru to sort out the internal affairs of Xuzhou, I had not received any news related to Bingzhou." Zhao Yun said. Yang Ji was so concerned about the situation in Bingzhou. Could there be any changes in Bingzhou?
"No news yet?" Yang Ji pondered for a moment, then asked, "What is the current situation of Yuan Benchu ​​and others in Jizhou?"

If the ethnic minorities on the grasslands north of Bingzhou also began to take large-scale actions, then there is no doubt that it was the Northern Huns who were behind it. Yuan Shao does not have the ability to mobilize all the ethnic minorities on the grasslands in the north.

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, not knowing how to tell Yang Ji about the actions in Jizhou.

"What's wrong? Are you sure that this foreign invasion to the south was caused by this guy Yuan Benchu?" Yang Ji did not put the blame on Jizhou for the collusion with the Xianbei and Wuhuan in the central and eastern parts, but on this guy Yuan Shao.

"That's not confirmed, but the actions they took after receiving the news of the alien invasion from the south are a little puzzling." Zhao Yun's face looked a little strange. Even though he has awakened his spiritual talent now, he could not have imagined that Yuan Shao and the others would do such a thing.

"What's going on?" Seeing Zhao Yun's expression, Yang Ji also became a little curious. It seemed that Yuan Shao and the others had made a difficult choice.

"They told General Gongsun that they would send troops into Youzhou to assist the Youzhou army in resisting the invasion of foreign races." Zhao Yun said while trying not to laugh. Every time he thought of the excuses given by Jizhou, Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh. Under what circumstances would those people in Jizhou come up with such an excuse?

"..." Yang Ji opened his mouth, not knowing how to comment. Those people in Jizhou were really talented. They could actually come up with such a reason. Gongsun Zan must have been very angry. Wasn't this just saying that his Youzhou army could not stop the invasion of the foreign race from the south?

Cao Cao, Chen Qun and Cheng Yu were stunned when they heard this. Cao Cao even wanted to go to Jizhou to personally ask his friend Yuan Shao who came up with this reason. The person who came up with this reason must be a talented person.

Cao Cao reasonably suspected the person who came up with this reason. The reason he came up with this reason was because in his opinion, Gongsun Zan was just an uneducated frontier warrior - what kind of person would think that Gongsun Zan was uneducated?
It’s no use. Cao Cao felt that he couldn’t go on any further. Gongsun Zan’s teacher was still alive. He wondered what Lu Zhi’s mentality would be when he heard the news.

"So, what is the situation in the north like now?" Yang Ji said stiffly. Yuan Shao and his men actually gave such a reason. I guess Gongsun Zan must have also given a response...

No, Yang Ji still couldn't understand how Yuan Shao and his men could so confidently give this reason to Gongsun Zan. Weren't they really afraid that Gongsun Zan would directly send out the White Horse Volunteers to fight Yuan Shao to the death?

It's a pity that Xun Chen's ancestor was one of the protagonists of the "Fake Passage to Attack Guo" campaign. He actually agreed to use this excuse to fool Gongsun Zan. He was really not afraid that Xun Shuang would directly come to Jizhou and beat him up.

However, we have to admit that this move directly got rid of most of the suspicion that Jizhou was colluding with foreign races. After all, Jizhou was about to send troops into Youzhou to assist the Youzhou army in fighting against the foreign races that dared to invade the south. What else do you want?

If you still doubt Yuan Shao's motives, then let them enter Youzhou and serve as the main force to counterattack the alien races, and use all the captured spoils as military supplies.

How much is this? So the person who came up with this reason must be a genius!
"When General Gongsun received news of the foreign invasion from the south, he ordered the troops to withdraw. Jizhou did not send troops to stop the retreat of the Youzhou army. They just watched quietly as the Youzhou army completed their retreat, and then mobilized two-thirds of their forces and deployed them on the border between Jizhou and Qingyan. I guess they want to fight us first." Zhao Yun expressed the speculation of the Fenggao Government Affairs Office.

"But, didn't you just say that Lord Xuande transferred you to Licheng to guard against the northern barbarians?" Yang Ji said hesitantly.
