Chapter 362 Chapter 361
(Author's note: Originally this chapter was reserved for posting tomorrow, because I have been busy these two days and have less writing time. But I went home today and found that a book friend gave me a valuable monthly ticket and a For the reward of [-] starting coins, in view of the fact that this book friend has also rewarded several times before, I would like to make a statement here. I am very grateful to the "Burning v Expedition" book friend for their reward and love for this book. I will redouble my efforts Update, write a readable article in the best state. So, add a new chapter today!)

Tian Yu, Tian Chou and the others sighed for a while, looking lonely but helpless.

Yan Rou glanced at the crowd, and then continued: "Now that Cao Cao is dead, the fall of the Cao family is the general trend. One hundred thousand Xianbei cavalry were wiped out in one battle. Although we have [-] troops in Jicheng, may I ask?" Everyone, if one hundred thousand Xianbei iron cavalry came to the city, would you be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop?"

Tian Yu, Tian Chou and the others shook their heads vigorously, sighing to themselves.

Yan Judao: "We have been in the frontier fortress for a long time. Although we often fought against Xianbei, Wuhuan and others, there are indeed few troops as powerful as the regent Zhang Yan's subordinates. In the past, Yuan Shao led an army to cross the Yellow River south and wanted to compete with Zhang Yan for hegemony in the Central Plains. But it ended in failure, and even he himself died tragically on the battlefield, ruining his reputation. Now that Cao Cao has also died in the hands of Zhang Yan, isn't that enough to explain the problem? We are not Cao Cao's old department, so there is no need to fight for it. Cao Cao paid with his own life. Today Xia Houyuan was unfair and beat me up. If I provoke him again in the future, I'm afraid he will be killed!"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others were all discussing. After a while, Tian Yu said on behalf of everyone: "General Yan, what do you think we should do now?"

At this moment, Yan Roucai took out the letter he had just received, handed it to Tian Yu, and said, "This is written by Jia Xu, the Prince Regent's confidant. The whole of Hebei, and Youzhou became the last obstacle on the way for the Regent to pacify Hebei. Jia Xu knew that we were not Cao Cao's confidantes, so he specially sent someone to send this letter, as long as we surrender, and offer Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen, Cheng Yu, The leader of Xun You and others, everything will be forgotten, and more officials will be promoted. I intend to surrender. If any of you are willing to fight side by side with Xia Houyuan and resist the Great Han Heavenly Army, please stand up immediately, and neither will I, Yan Rou. I will embarrass him, I can only say that I misunderstood his brother!"

Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others circulated the letter one after another. Most of them were illiterate, so Tian Yu read it out. After listening to it, everyone finally agreed to follow Yan Rou's footsteps, surrender to Zhang Yan, and offer Xia Houyuan and others first level.

So, everyone planned carefully together, and then dispersed, and immediately started to act.

That night, Tian Yu brought people to the barracks, gave them good wine and meat, and comforted them, hoping that these soldiers would forget the unpleasantness of the day, and that the two armies could maintain a friendly relationship in the future.

Xia Houyuan's subordinates had nothing to say when they saw that the Youzhou Army had taken the initiative to show their favor, but they were still arrogant and arrogant.

In the eyes of these subordinates, Cao Cao is dead, and the only person in the army who can take on the heavy responsibility is Xia Houyuan. Therefore, they already know that Xia Houyuan is about to become the new lord. Xia Houyuan's subordinates also showed a little pride, and looked down on the Youzhou Army who surrendered from the bottom of their hearts.

Tian Yu and others accompanied Xia Houyuan's subordinates to eat and drink all the time, and then gave up the more comfortable military camp to let these people move in to rest.

That night, almost all of Xia Houyuan's subordinates were so drunk that they were unconscious. After arriving at the new military camp one after another, they fell asleep.

However, in the darkness, a pair of devil's claws were silently reaching out to them. These people were as drunk as dead pigs. Tian Yu led the people to tie up all of them, and then collectively gathered in the camp. beheaded.

Poor Xia Houyuan's [-] soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died tragically under the butcher's knife.

As soon as the matter on Tian Yu's side came to an end, Tian Chou on the other side immediately launched an action. He led troops to surround the government office, then beheaded and killed the gatekeeper, broke into the government office directly, and killed everyone he saw.

In front of Cao Cao's mourning hall, Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others were all taken aback. When they saw Tian Chou leading someone in, the butcher knife in his hand was covered with sticky blood, they knew something was wrong.

"Tian Chou! How dare you rebel?" Xia Houyuan fought from the ground and shouted violently.

Tian Chou waved the long sword in his hand, and sternly said to Xia Houyuan: "Under the order of the regent, come to arrest the rebels, take Xiahouyuan and others to me, and execute the law on the spot, leaving no one behind!"

With an order, a group of people swarmed up, raised their butcher knives and started hacking and killing.

Because this is Cao Cao's mourning hall, Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen and others did not carry weapons, and the guards outside were all killed. When Tian Chou commanded the soldiers to rush up, Xia Houyuan and Cao Zhen instinctively stood up to protect Xun You, Cheng Yu, and told Xun You and Cheng Yu to escape quickly through the side door.

However, Tian Chou's soldiers were one step ahead and directly blocked the side door. Xun You and Cheng Yu had nowhere to escape and were unarmed.

Cao Zhen was seriously injured and unable to fight, and was quickly hacked to death by these soldiers.

On the contrary, Xia Houyuan was very brave. Although he was unarmed, he grabbed the knife with his bare hands. After holding the knife, he began to slash and kill, one after another, overturning the surrounding soldiers.

Tian Chou and others were not opponents, so they retreated one after another, and then let people shoot Xia Houyuan with bows and arrows.

Xia Houyuan shifted the gears with his knife for a while, but the arrows were too dense. Once the arrows were hit, the movement slowed down, and then the arrows shot over one after another. Xia Houyuan's body was full of arrows, and he fell to the ground, looking up to the sky With a long howl, he died in grief.

Seeing that Xiahouyuan was dead, Tian Chou walked up to Xiahouyuan with a knife, and beheaded Xiahouyuan with the knife, while the rest of the soldiers chopped off the heads of Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu.

At this time, Yan Rou was carried to the government office. Seeing that Xia Houyuan and others were dead, she ordered people to put the heads of Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu in wooden boxes, and sent someone to send them to the government office. Go south, and offer a letter of surrender.

……

Jizhou, Nanpi.

Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and others rested in Nanpi. A few days later, Zhang Yan came to Nanpi with five hundred relatives.

Zhang Yan summoned all the generals to discuss sending troops to Jicheng to eliminate Cao Cao's last remnant forces.Jia Xu hurriedly persuaded Zhang Yan not to send troops, and said that Youzhou's letter of surrender would arrive in a few days.

So Zhang Yan gave up the idea of ​​sending troops, and temporarily waited in Nanpi City for a few days.

Three days later, it turned out that what Jia Xu had said was true. An envoy from Jicheng came to see Zhang Yan with four wooden boxes, and presented a letter of surrender. Head to show sincerity.

Zhang Yan ordered people to open the wooden box and witnessed the heads of Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu in person. People follow the trend of the times and have made meritorious deeds in killing Xia Houyuan and other rebels. I will play it tomorrow, and there will be rewards. You go back and tell Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others. I will lead the army to Jicheng in a few days and personally Go meet these heroes!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan asked someone to push out three thousand pieces of gold, and asked the envoy to take them back first, which was regarded as a heavy reward for Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other Youzhou Army.

The envoy returned to Jicheng with three thousand pieces of gold full of joy. As soon as the envoy left, Zhang Yan saw that the faces of Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Zhang Ying, Gao Lan and others were covered with a cloud, so he asked why. Only then did they learn that they did this because they lost money in a bet with Jia Xu.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also admired Jia Xu's remnants of Cao Cao's party who put down Jicheng without a single soldier.

So Zhang Yan dispatched his army to Jicheng that day.

During Zhang Yan's trip, he led Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and other generals, and kept Zang Ba in Jizhou. Kong Rong, Wang Xiu, Kan Ze and others assisted Zang Ba to appease Jizhou.

A few days later, Zhang Yan led the army to Jicheng, and Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others rushed to meet him ten miles away from Jicheng.

Zhang Yan met Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others for the first time, and he had a very good impression of these people, especially Tian Yu, who was young, courageous and resourceful, and was also trusted by Yan Rou.

When Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others saw Zhang Yan, they were all surprised. They never expected that Zhang Yan was such a young and promising person, and they admired Zhang Yan's approachability and amiability. He was captured by Zhang Yan.

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, a fast horse suddenly rushed over from the direction of Jicheng, and the visitor came to Yan Rou in a panic, and immediately reported: "General Qi, something is wrong, Wuhuan Shanyu Ta Dun led [-] cavalry to make a comeback, and they have already approached the city of Jicheng."

This news, like a bomb, exploded in everyone's ears with a "boom".

Zhang Yan frowned even more, it seemed that the trip to Youzhou was not so smooth.

Immediately, Zhang Yan ordered the whole army to go to Jicheng, and sent an envoy in advance to see Tadun, saying that Youzhou had changed flags, and the regent Zhang Yan had come, and asked him to retreat and go back to Wuhuan's garrison, otherwise, he would be killed. Take extraordinary measures against the Wuhuan people.

The envoy received the order and immediately went to Jicheng to see Ta Dun.And Zhang Yan led the crowd to set off afterwards, and dispatched three generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Xi, and Gao Lan to the battlefield with a thousand cavalry each. .

On the way to Jicheng, Zhang Yan asked Yan Rou, Tian Yu, and Tian Chou about the situation here. Youzhou is a frontier fortress of the Han Dynasty, and the situation here is almost the same as Bingzhou. For decades, border troubles have continued. Wuhuan Xianbei and Xianbei are the main targets of border troubles. Over the past few years, the Wuhuan people have gradually become stronger. Under the leadership of Tadun, they drove away the eastern Xianbei. The vast grassland outside the Great Wall from Liaoxi to Shanggu is full of Wuhuan people. .

The population of the Wuhuan people has also increased rapidly in the past few years. If the Wuhuan people are not completely subdued, the border troubles will never be resolved!

After Zhang Yan heard this, he suddenly felt the importance of this trip, and thought secretly: "The big deal, just like how we dealt with the Xianbei people, follow the gourd and draw a ladle, and wipe out the [-] Wuhuan cavalry together! Let them know that we are here!" The great man Tianwei..."
