Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

The butler carefully handed over the secret document sealed in the bamboo tube to the man in black.

And ordered: "Transfer this secret document to your lord immediately, and ask him to hand it over to Lord Gongsun Xu for reading as soon as possible." At this time, the two of them did not light the lights in the house, but talked in the faint moonlight.

The tall man in black took the bamboo tube and carefully hid it in his lapel, and said in a low voice, "After the city gate opens tomorrow morning, I will leave the city immediately and go to Changli to meet Master Sima Hong."

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Don't wait for tomorrow, let's spend the night. You take this waist card and go out from the east gate. Where the guard is your confidant, he will let you go as soon as he sees your waist card." After speaking, Handed a small black square bronze medal to the man in black.

"En!" The man in black replied softly, then sent the butler out the door, turned around and returned to the house.

At this time, Lu Ziqi, the leader of the Langya branch, was watching not far away with four subordinates. Seeing the butler leaving the courtyard, he hurriedly told his two subordinates to continue monitoring the butler to see if he had returned to Gongsun Ji's mansion. The other two Spikes guarded outside the house of the man in black, continuing to monitor.

But he said that when the man in black returned to the house, he changed into a hunchbacked old man with a burden on his back and walked out with a walking stick. Lu Ziqi followed him and saw him heading straight for the east gate. When faced with interrogation by the guards, he pretended that his family members were seriously ill and needed to go back out of the city immediately.

At this time, a man who looked like a guard came out. He saw the hunchbacked old man holding something in his hand on his thigh, shaking his back to the two soldiers, and quickly said to the two soldiers: " I'll take care of this matter, if there is something urgent at home, let him go."

After seeing this scene in the dark, Lu Ziqi returned to the Governor's Mansion to report to Zheng Yu.Zheng Yu met him alone in the living room. After Lu Ziqi knelt down and saluted, he quickly explained the situation of monitoring Gongsun Ji's house, as well as the situation of the man in black and the city gate guard.

"My lord, why don't you send someone to follow him and snatch the bamboo tube on the way?"

Zheng Yu shook his head, and said to Lu Ziqi: "End of this matter, and remove the people monitoring Gongsun Ji, so that he won't get suspicious."

After Lu Ziqi left, he hurried back to the back hall and told Su Wan and Zuo Lan about it. "Gongsun Ji is indeed a spy. He sent someone to tell Gongsun Xu about my going to Wuhuan."

Su Wan said excitedly: "So Gongsun Xu has taken the bait?"

Zuo Lan took it and said: "We need to allow enough time for the other party to pass on the information. Qiu Liju and others can delay for five or six days before letting them leave. Hmph, I'm worried that that soft bastard Gongsun Xu won't have the guts to come forward." Let’s figure it out.”

In fact, Zheng Yu was not sure, but Su Wan said: "Gongsun Xu has suffered a great humiliation, he will definitely turn his anger on Xianggong. I know this guy very well. He is a person who dares to go to extremes. He has a violent temper. He may not be able to do it himself." Come to ambush, but it is said that Gongsun Zan is related to Gongsun Du, maybe he will ask Gongsun Du for help."

Zheng Yu thought the same, at this time Gongsundu will soon separatize Liaodong, and his power is powerful, if he can really kill Zheng Yu in Wuhuan, he will be able to blame Wuhuan's tribes, and there will be one less powerful enemy. The probability of Gongsun continuing to speak is not small.

Therefore, he said: "The key is to give the other party enough time to plan this matter. The general Gongsun Ji at the city gate should not touch him for the time being, but let Sun Qi send someone to monitor him secretly. I will be responsible for dragging Qiu Liju to ten Days, I guess it will be long enough for Gongsun to continue plotting."

The three discussed it again, and went to bed after feeling that there was no flaw.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yan Rou rushed over.

Zheng Yu saw that he was only a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and burly, very mighty, his eyes were like gongs, and his voice was loud. I came to report to the governor, and the lord said that Yan Rou and the cavalry led by him will be under the jurisdiction of the governor from now on. Yan Rou will do whatever the governor orders."

Zheng Yu couldn't help being delighted when he saw Yan Rou looking at him with a look of admiration.

"Get up, get up." Zheng Yu got up and walked over to help him up. "What is Master Liu's order?"

Yan Rou shook his head and said: "Your Excellency has said that from now on, Yan Rou will be under the command of the Commander." His eyes were full of fanaticism, "My lord, all the soldiers are very excited that Yan Rou can be brought under the command of the Commander. The heroic deeds of your lord are remembered by the whole army." Familiar with it, all the soldiers will adore it very much!"

"Hehe, those are all lies, don't believe them all." After Zheng Yu finished speaking, he asked his servants to bring tea, and discussed with Yan Rou in the living room the things to pay attention to during the trip to Wuhuan. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to understand The situation of various tribes in Wuhuan.Finally ask: "Are the troops ready?"

Yan Rou stood up and said, "I'm ready, just wait for your lord's order." His appearance really resembles Zhao Zilong, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. "My lord, Yan Rou's subordinates are very familiar with Wuhuan. My lord still needs to be on guard against Wuhuan. The interior of Wuhuan is quite complicated, and Lord Qiu Liju is definitely not a good friend."

Zheng Yu nodded earnestly, but did not continue the matter, but told Yan Rou to leave to make various preparations for going to Wuhuan.

Later, Zheng Yu was about to invite Qiu Liju, Su Boyan, Wu Yan and Nanlou to discuss, but the guard came to report that Qiu Liju and other four adults came to visit Lord Dudu together. Quickly lead them into the living room.After taking his seat, Zheng Yu asked bluntly: "Qiu Liju, I heard that you have become king behind your back, and I heard that you are now Wuhuan Shanyu, right?" After asking, he looked at them with burning eyes. four people.

The four of them glanced at each other, Qiu Liju smiled awkwardly, nodded and said to Zheng Yu, "It's true, this happened before Master Liu came to Youzhou. At that time, Gongsun Zan used soldiers against me, Wuhuan." , We were also forced to wait, after Lord Liu came to Youzhou, we returned to the rule of the Han Dynasty, and now we are all just Lord Wuhuan."

The other three also nodded quickly.

Zheng Yu didn't point it out, he knew that among the Wuhuan tribes, the Qiuliju tribe was the most powerful, with more than 30 chiefs under it.It has a population of tens of thousands, and a regular force of more than 5000, led by his son Tadun and two other subordinates.

Qiu Liju is very scheming, or rather talented.Before that, he encouraged Zhang Chun, the prefect of Zhongshan, to rebel, and then sent troops south to plunder the states and counties, which caused great harm to the border areas.It was only after Liu Yu came to Youzhou that he adopted a soft policy on the one hand, and sent people to design to kill Zhang Chun on the other, which made these Lord Wuhuan return to his rule.

Zheng Yu sighed secretly, so he had no choice but to tell Qiu Liju and others that they could help them take back Mount Wuwan, but it would take time, and told him that he would go to Wuhuan to investigate first.Seeing this, the four felt a little lost in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.

"Lord Governor, we originally planned to send 5000 troops to the north to attack Xianbei. If your lord can send 1 troops to help, we have great confidence in defeating the Suli tribe of Xianbei and taking back Mount Wuwan."

Among the 5000 people, it is planned that Qiu Liju will send [-] troops, and the other three will send [-] troops each.

Zheng Yu could only shake his head and said, "Currently only one thousand cavalry can be dispatched."

Qiu Liju and the others were disappointed, but Zheng Yu told them Master Liu Yu's decision, he would go to Wuhuan with Qiu Liju, and then he could send troops to reinforce them in the fight, and help them if necessary.

Zheng Yu found a reason to stay the four adults in Jicheng for ten days, entertaining them warmly, drinking and having fun with the four all day long, as if they really became brothers.The days passed quickly, Zheng Yu saw that the time was almost up, so he led his troops and Qiu Liju out of the east gate of Jicheng, and went to Liucheng together for inspection, while the other three Wuhuan adults left separately.
