Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 122 War in the Central Plains
"Report!"

A scout suddenly brought the latest news.

Feng Yao had no choice but to interrupt his idea of ​​continuing to hold a banquet, the war was an important matter.

"The imperial court has appointed Xun You of the Xun family in Yingchuan as the prefect of Yingchuan. Based on the reputation of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun You took full control of Yingchuan in just a few days. Now the whole county is recruiting troops. I want to strengthen the attack on Chenliu County!" said the scout.

Feng Yao was startled, and thought to himself: "How come history has never heard of Xun You being the prefect of Yingchuan??"

The border of Yingchuan is closely connected with Runan, and I want to connect with Chen Liu, but there is a country of Chen between Runan and Chen Liu!According to the news from earlier scouts, Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun is sending troops to attack Chen Liu. Although Xun You also led his family soldiers to fight Chen Liu earlier, but after all, the scale is limited and can only play a role in holding Chen Liu and Zhang Miao. Now Xun You As the prefect of Shangyingchuan, one county and one country attacked Chen Chenliu's county at the same time. This is to destroy Zhang Miao!

Is it time to ask cheap father Yuan Shu for help?

In the afternoon, before he was about to raise his account and discuss matters, Liang Teng rode his horse for hundreds of miles from Ruyin City to Xiyang City where Feng Yao was, and quietly met with Feng Yao.

Liang Teng brought two letters to Feng Yao. One of these two letters was handwritten by Chen Dao to Liang Teng, and the other was also handwritten by Chen Dao to Liang Teng, but it was a letter from his father Yuan Shu.

Feng Yao first put the two letters in his arms, read them later, and asked, "Why has there been no news from Puyang for so long?"

Liang Teng said: "My lord! The reason why I came here in person is precisely because of this matter! Puyang City has already started a war! Our people can't enter or leave at all! Moreover, Lu Bu and Cao Cao have fought many times in Jiyin County. Every pedestrian was checked very strictly, and we even killed a brother because of this, because he couldn't explain the reason, he was caught by Cao Cao's army as a spy and beheaded!"

"Has there been any news about us?" Feng Yao asked.

"No, the little one has always adhered to one principle, never brought anything related to us, and all the news was passed on by word of mouth, the little one has already checked very clearly, that brother died without revealing a word! "Liang Teng said with certainty.

"Well done! After you go back, you must reward his family members heavily! Don't leave the tea alone!" Feng Yao sternly ordered Liang Teng to die.

Liang Teng was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and said, "Your obedience! There is still a small matter to report. The younger one learned that the treasurer of Yuan Ping in Puyang City could not pass on the news, so he risked his life and went to Yanzhou to inquire about some news in person. return!"

"Liang Teng, get up and answer. I don't mean to blame you. I just want to tell you, don't just look at the immediate interests. Our goal is far beyond the Runan County in front of us! So don't lose your heart! Let all the brothers who join in treat this organization as their own. On the one hand, they must be strictly managed, and they must be killed. On the other hand, they must not let their loyal subordinates feel cold! If the money is not enough, you can find it. The county magistrate will borrow some first!" Feng Yao said.

Liang Teng stood up and said, "You know, the steamed stuffed bun shop has already made a lot of money. Besides expenses, there is still a little surplus. I have never dared to use the money from this surplus. Too many people want to eat, I am afraid that the Lord will be short of money one day...?"

"Liang Teng, it's good for you to have this kind of heart! But don't worry too much, if the bun shop has a lot of money, you can use it to open more shops or do other things! Anyway, everything is up to you Be the master, you have to learn this from Yuan Ping, if you have a good idea but have no way to implement it, just report it and I will solve it for you!" Feng Yao said.

Liang Teng was overjoyed, and continued, "My lord, I have found out that Yuan Shao has renewed his alliance with Cao Cao, and sent General Yan Liang with an army of [-] to capture Baima, Yanjin, Yanxian, and other places in Dongjun. And prepare to go south to attack Chenliu County! And Cao Cao divided his troops into three groups, one led Xiahou Dun and Cao Hongle to besiege Puyang, one led by Cao Ren Yujin had captured Juyang and went straight to Dingtao City, and the other led Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian to attack Jibei and Rencheng two countries."

"Jibei State and Rencheng State, Xu Xi and Mao Hui, the prime ministers of the two countries, fled after hearing the news and went to the hands of Zang Ba, who was in power on the east side of Mount Tai. Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan County, died in the county because of Cao Cao's father. Afraid of Cao Cao's revenge, he also abandoned the county and joined Yuan Shao's subordinates!"

After Liang Teng finished speaking, his forehead was sweating, and he looked at Feng Yao.

"I see, you go back immediately and continue to inquire about the news!" Feng Yao said.

After Liang Teng resigned, Feng Yao's face suddenly became serious. Judging from the situation of the whole Yanzhou, since Yuan Shao, the situation between Cao Cao and Lu Bu has reversed. Seeing that the situation is not good, the counties and states scared away three people one after another in fear. Prefect, it seems that Yuan Shao is powerful, I really don't know how Gao Shun defends Dunqiu against Yuan Shao!Have you already practiced the trapped camp?I remember that when I was in Lu Bu's army, I didn't fall into the camp.

There are only two cities in Lu Bu's East County, Puyang and Dunqiu, which have been separated from Chenliu and Jiyin by the army of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and have become isolated cities!

Fortunately, Zhang Liao of Jiyin County guarded Dingtao and kept several counties in the south of Jiyin. Dingtao is watching each other, and should be able to withstand Cao Renyujin's attack!
As for Chenliu County, it was miserable. In the north was Yuan Shao's [-] troops led by the famous general Yan Liang, and in the south was Xun You, the new prefect of Yingchuan County, and Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun. There were almost [-] troops attacking from three directions. Can Zhang Miao hold it?
Yuan Shao has already dispatched, so it is impossible for his father, Yuan Shu, to just sit idly by. Feng Yao immediately thought that Yuan Shu's letter might be related to this, so he opened the letter hastily, and sure enough, Yuan Shu praised Feng Yao's achievements in Runan in the letter. He also mentioned that Mrs. Feng had led five hundred Youzhou cavalry archers to help because she was worried and missed her son.

Feng Yao looked at it and was greatly moved! ! "Father, Yuan Shu must be optimistic about my progress in Runan, and this time he didn't hesitate to spend money! And my mother, Mrs. Feng, has only been with my father for two months, and she is worried about my son!"

These five hundred Youzhou cavalry archers are even rarer than ten thousand elite infantry in the Central Plains!

When Yuan Shu was in Nanyang, he formed an alliance with Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to lead a thousand elite cavalry archers south to help. The thousand cavalry archers were somewhat lost, so Yuan Shu selected some elite soldiers from the army to make up the thousand, and asked them to follow the Youzhou cavalry archers to learn the art of riding and archery.

Archery on horseback is very skillful. During the process of riding a horse, one cannot hold the horse with both hands nor hold the rein of the horse, and one has to endure the bumps of the horse. Riding a running horse to shoot the running enemy, most people can shoot arrows. It would be good to go, and most importantly, these war horses are too rare. Feng Yao almost took back the whole of Runan. He also abducted more than ten horses from Lu Bu and Cao Cao, and now there are only more than 100 ordinary war horses!
Now Yuan Shu has divided up five hundred Youzhou cavalry archers all at once, and they are people with horses!How could Feng Yao not be excited!
"My son, my father heard that Yuan Shao's soldiers went south, Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun openly attacked the court order official Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao, fearing that it would be harmful to Runan, my father has already presented to the court, and replaced Yuan Si, a member of the family, as Chen Guoxiang, now go Yuan Si will definitely use Runan as his rear, and the thousand soldiers and horses he leads will not have enough food and grass. I hope you can lend him some after arriving in Runan. If you have more ability, it is best to send troops to help him capture Chen Guo !"

"One more thing. After the last farewell, I thought about your words carefully for my father, and felt that I should treat Sun Ce better. In addition to the relationship between your sister and Sun Quan, you have already returned more than 1000 elite soldiers from his original army to him, and ordered him to return to Sun Ce. Attack Chen Ji and his son in Lujiang County."
