Chapter six hundred and seventy fifth thieves and chaos
The two spoke sincerely, but Tao Qian couldn't listen.
"I will write letters to Cao Mengde, saying that after quelling the rebellion, I will send him gold, silk, food and grass, and then submit a memorial to the court and teach him not to stay in my Xuzhou. I wish that his famous family would not be defeated by me."
"Mr. It's not advisable to bring a wolf into the house. Mr. Man thinks twice..."
Chen Deng and Mi Zhu tried their best to dissuade them.
"Okay, I have decided on this matter, so the second master doesn't need to persuade him anymore."
Chen Deng and Mi Zhu looked at each other, and finally sighed helplessly.
Many days later, a large army in Langya, Xuzhou, that is, the south of Qiucheng, was chasing a large number of troops like bandits.
The general led by the army pursuing behind was Xiahou Yuan, and the man who looked like a scholar next to him was Cheng Yu.
Xiahou Yuan turned his head and asked Cheng Yu, "Why did Mr. Zhongde go to war with the army? He suffered such pain? It was just a group of bandits. Can't I, Xiahou Yuan, still deal with it?"
Cheng Yu could not help but smile when he heard the resentment in his words.
"Can General Xiahou know what the lord is coming to Xuzhou?"
Xiahou Yuan said, "I naturally know this. Didn't the lord say that day? Taking advantage of the Taishan gang invasion of Xuzhou, our army naturally entered Xuzhou in the name of suppressing bandits. As long as the bandits are immortal and the imperial army does not come for a day, our army can station in the city of Xuzhou for a day, and all the food and grass needs are provided by him Tao Qian. Such a beautiful woman can be said to be a pie falling from the sky. If it weren't for this, I could have let this group of waste escape for so long? With my temper, if I had pursued it with all my might, I should have stepped on the heads of the four Taishan gangs to drink the celebration wine."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. But what if the imperial army comes? Or maybe Tao Qian invited reinforcements from other princes to replace our army, what should the general think?"
Xiahou Yuan was stopped by his question and couldn't answer for a moment.
"This... I really didn't expect it..."
"That's it. The lord has always been respectful and loyal to the Luoyang court on the surface, but it was really helpless. After all, our army is not strong enough to fight against the court. Therefore, all actions are to expand their strength as much as possible under the premise of betraying the court on the unknown side. Now that we have taken action, Xuzhou is determined to win. No matter what happens, we must do so that we must neither offend the court nor give up Xuzhou."
Xiahou Yuan heard it one by one: "Oh, this is really troublesome."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "This is the reason why the lord sent him to the army to go to war."
Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized: "So that's the case, but Meng De was considerate carefully, and this would make me feel good."
In Yangzhou, Yuzhang County, and Nanye County, the city was filled with fires illuminating the already dim sky like daytime.
And above the city gate, a few bloody heads were hanging here.
Not long after, a group of soldiers rushed over. The leader saw the heads on the city gate and was immediately shocked and angry.
"It's hateful that these mountain thieves dared to attack the city, kill many officials in the city, and hang the gate to show the public. This is clearly a blatant rebellion!"
A general next to him said, "General, the governor ordered me to come and save the city, but now the city has been broken. If we go back like this, we will be punished."
The general in charge said angrily: "Do you still need to remind me? Seeing that these heads are still bleeding, I think that the Shanyue bandits had just left, and I will send an order to take down these heads first and bury them forever. Then I set out immediately to find the Shanyue people and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind the army.
The general looked back and asked impatiently: "What's going on?"
Soon, a soldier ran over: "Report to the general, a group of people rushed over. They claimed to be people in the city. After Shanyue attacked the city, they burned, killed and looted, and only a few thousand of them were left to escape. Now that we have arrived, we have come to ask for help."
The general was relieved when he heard that it was a commoner.
"Oh? Take General I to have a look."
The soldier took him to the rear army. Sure enough, a large group of people, some carrying packages, some pushing carts, were covered in dust, ragged clothes, and their faces were filled with fear.
When those people saw the general coming, they surrounded him.
"General...General, you want to avenge us..."
"Yes, General, my old father was cut off his head by a thief. He died so miserably..."
"My child is only six years old, how can I live..."
"Please be the general..."
The general looked at the miserable people and felt compassion when he listened to their stories.
"Dear fellow villagers, please relax. The governor sent this general here to eliminate the thieves in Shanyue in one fell swoop so as to avenge everyone!"
"Oh, with your words, General, I'm willing to die even if I die!"
Many people were extremely excited and surrounded the army.
"Don't worry, fellow villagers, don't worry..."
When everyone was unprepared, the people who were miserable just now suddenly turned very fierce. Almost in an instant, they all pulled out weapons from their packages or trolleys and slashed at the soldiers of this army.
"Oh no, I've been trapped, it's Shanyue..."
The general had only had time to shout out one word, and saw several weapons, flashing cold light, and slashing at himself at the same time...
More than 200 miles northwest of Beidi County, this place is mostly a Gobi desert. Compared with the plump grassland, it can be called extremely barren.
And even in this barren land, birds are rare on weekdays, but at this time there are a large number of soldiers and horses stationed here. All of these soldiers of the army are wearing clothes made of animal skins and linen, which are the cavalry of the Huns.
Now that night is coming, these people have raised bonfires, set up beef and mutton, and roasted them on the fire. Soon, the aroma of meat drifted to the everywhere with the strong wind in the Gobi Desert.
Next to the largest bonfire, there were seven or eight strong men sitting around. Compared with other soldiers, these people were obviously much more luxuriously dressed, and they were obviously the commanders and generals of this army.
A general grilled lamb legs and said, "When he was wandering in the desert these years, he always heard people telling how brave the Han army was. When he saw it today, it was like sheep on the grassland, he could only be used as prey and eaten by wolves. I don't know how the Zuo Xian King died at the hands of the Han people back then."
"Hey, you're wrong. I heard that the Han emperor is an extraordinary person. His army is really powerful, but we didn't meet this time."
Another general reminded.
The generals were dissatisfied before: "I don't believe that they are brave. Are our sons vegetarians? This time with the support of the Shanyu, the Youxian King led a total of 50,000 cavalry to the expedition, and there were 30,000 cavalry kings behind him to fight. I don't believe that the Han people can still go against the sky."
His words made one of the men dressed in the Hun nobles show a smug smile on his face.
"Well, it's still Zotuli's smart. The fool Zuo Xianwang must have been defeated by some tricks from the Han people, so that the entire army would be wiped out. The Han people have always been cunning. As long as we are careful not to go deep into the Han people's cities, in this vast desert, hehe, we Huns are the kings. If the Han emperor dares to chase him, he will catch him together and dedicate it to the great Shanyu."
"The Right King is indeed mighty, and I will give you a cup!"
"Hahaha, OK, drink! Today, everyone has enough food and drink. Tomorrow, they go to the newly built Yun and county of the Han people. They took away this plump grassland from the hands of King Zuo Xian. We will grab it back and rob a few Han women to come back to play.

When he heard what he said, several generals showed lewd eyes.
"Hehe, it's still the Right Xian King who understands our thoughts. Mo Jiang and others have been looking forward to this day for a long time, hahaha..."
