Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 176

After waiting for a long time, the oil lamps were dimmed.

Everyone was also a little anxious, shaking the porcelain cup gently, staring at the rippling water in the cup, without saying a word.

After a while, it was already the middle of the night, and the cold wind was howling, blowing against the windows.

Suddenly, everyone heard a burst of footsteps, broken and hurried, and quickly sat up straight, looking at the half-opened door with piercing eyes.

Sure enough, they were not disappointed. A bodyguard pushed the door in panting, without resting, and said intermittently: "My lord, my lord, General Chen, they are back!"

"Okay, I see, you go down and rest." Although a little excited, Liu Yu said calmly.After finishing speaking, he immediately got up and walked towards the gate of the prefect's mansion.Du Ji, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu also looked excited, followed Liu Yu and went out.

Soon, they came to the gate of the mansion.

Walking in strides, Liu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, seeing Chen Dao in a blood-clothed suit, he couldn't help asking with a smile on his face, "Uncle Zhi, how are you?"

"General, as you expected, that Yingxiong was also in the Yingfu, but he was in the role of a guard, but... the final general was entrusted with a heavy burden, and Ying's family ran away, so Yingxiong also escaped." Chen Dao heard the words , quickly turned back to look at Liu Yu, and then half-kneeled with guilt and said.

Chen Dao's ambush of Ying Xiong was also part of the plan surrounding the banquet.In fact, Liu Yu's Jinyiwei has long been divided into two systems, one is guards and the other is scouts, and they have already detected all kinds of news in Runan.Naturally, Liu Yu also got the news that the Ying family had defected to Cao Ren.

But Liu Yu didn't want to use force to solve the problem, because Ying Xiong might lure Cao Ren into the ancient city once he threatened the enemy.He hasn't yet, because he doesn't want to join Cao Cao too early, otherwise his value will not be maximized.Therefore, Liu Yu and Du Jiyi discussed, hoping to attract Yingxiong in the name of a banquet, so as to imprison him and stabilize the ancient city.

However, although Ying Xiong came, he did not participate in the banquet, and he was still serving as a guard, presumably he had other purposes.But these are not important anymore, because Ying Xiong escaped...

The smile on Liu Yu's face froze, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he stepped forward and pulled Chen Dao up, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, a mere Ying family, I guess he can't make any waves, so just run away if you run away." .”

Chen Dao still had a guilty expression on his face, but he stood up and talked about the incident in a deep voice, "We pretended to be thieves and entered Ying's house, but the Ying's house was empty, only a few servants. Naturally, we refused to stop , hurried out of the city to chase, although he caught up, but only killed Ying Fu. That Yingxiong used his son as a bait to escape alone."

"Hiss, a tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring, this Yingxiong is actually so vicious. Young master, if this person is not eliminated, it will be a serious problem. Especially the Ying family's power is too strong in the ancient city, it may affect our resistance against Cao." Waiting for Liu When Yu spoke, Du Ji already gasped, and suggested decisively.

This Yingxiong is really not easy!
Liu Yu's eyes froze, and then he said in a deep voice: "Bohou is right, I originally wanted to imprison Ying Xiong to prevent the Ying family from making trouble, but he escaped. From this point of view, the Ying family is bound to rebel. .

Let's do this, Uncle Zhi, tomorrow you will lead three thousand soldiers to the north, and your troops will be swift, and I will give you an extra five hundred brocade guards to eradicate Ying Xiong's family in one fell swoop before he returns to the ancient city.In troubled times, heavy codes should be used, and anyone who disobeys will be killed! "

"General, don't use tomorrow, I will set off overnight to prevent accidents." Chen Dao was also decisive, and said directly.

Liu Yu was a little hesitant. After all, Chen hadn't rested until now, and if he set off overnight, he might not be able to bear it.But when he was hesitating, Zhao Yun suddenly said, "General, let me go with General Chen."

"And me, I'll go too." Not to be outdone, Xu Chu said immediately.

Liu Yu smiled helplessly, then pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, Shuzhi, let Zilong go with you, and set off tonight."

"General, what about me?" Xu Chu said anxiously.

Before Liu Yu could speak, Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Zhongkang, aren't you sincerely trying to take credit from me? You are all generals now, only I have less credit. You can't take credit from me this time."

"Uh, okay, okay, you go, I won't go." Xu Chu blushed at what he said, and finally had no choice but to not go.

After the matter was settled, Liu Yu discussed some details with Du Ji, and then told Chen Dao and Zhao Yun one by one.And at this time, Chen Dao had already gathered his soldiers.As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, he rode away with Zhao Yun.

This time, Chen Dao was in charge and Zhao Yun was in charge, so there would be no problem at all.

"General Hu, what's the matter?" Jia Xu asked immediately when he heard Hu Che'er's voice.

Hu Che'er was anxious at this time, seeing Jia Xu opened the door, he poured out his thoughts, "Sir, I just saw soldiers with bloody armor in the mansion, could it be that Liu Yu is going to attack us."

This Hu Che'er is very naive, but Zhang Xiu asked him to protect his husband, and even learned to think.

"Hehe, General Hu doesn't have to worry, Liu Yu can't do anything to us. Well, you can rest at ease." Jia Xu smiled slightly, stroked his short beard, and laughed softly.

Hu Che'er touched the back of his head, and said with a simple and honest smile, "Sir, go and rest, I'll watch in front of the door for a while." Then, he stood in front of the door, motionless.

Jia Xu smiled helplessly, knowing Hu Che'er's temperament, so she closed the door to rest and let him stand.

"Tonight's banquet is really not easy. Liu Yu, Liu Yu, I really underestimated you. Well, let's try you tomorrow, if you are really capable..." Jia Xu sighed inwardly, and went back to the room.

Just when Hu Che'er misunderstood Liu Yu because of Chen Dao, Liu Yu had already sent away Chen Dao, Zhao Yun, and the [-] soldiers.

"Zhongkang, there's nothing else to do tonight, go down and rest." Liu Yu withdrew his distant gaze, and turned to Xu Chu.

When Xu Chu heard the words, he responded and went down reeking of alcohol.Seeing Xu Chu go down, Liu Yu suddenly said: "Bohou, you can't rest yet, we'd better prepare in advance, otherwise the negotiations with Jia Xu and those gentry tycoons will be really difficult."

"Well, Jia Wenhe is not simple, and those gentry tyrants are also old and young foxes." Du Ji echoed, and then followed Liu Yu back to the lobby again.

The two talked for a short time, just over half an hour, but they almost discussed and even argued endlessly, and the harvest was not small, so I don't know if they can deal with Jia Xu.

"Okay, it's getting late, Bohou, go back and rest." Liu Yu looked outside, guessing that the night was already deep, and immediately turned around and said to Du Ji.

Du Ji didn't insist. After all, it still depends on the ability to adapt when things come to an end. It's useless to say more now.So he said goodbye and went down.

Liu Yu sent Du Ji to the gate of the mansion, then sent someone to send Du Ji back, and then went back to the house to rest.

"Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and those powerful gentry, as long as the two sides get it right, I believe Cao Cao will not be a problem... After all, there is still Yuan Shu in front. Hehe, I remember it!"

In the second year of Jian'an, that is, in 197 A.D., Yuan Shu became emperor!
