Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 483 Ghost conspirators, can kill life and death!
——It’s dark under the lights!

Ancient lamps were composed of candles and trays. When lighting, due to the existence of trays, the bright light emitted by the lamps was blocked by the trays, and dark areas would appear under the lamps. This is the so-called darkness under the lamps!
certainly…

Is it dark under the lights?For Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter... what matters is what Yuan Shao realized from such a reminder from Yuan Shang.

——"It's dark under the light!"

——"Order the three armies to set off immediately and go south to Cangting. In the past, Cao A hid my food and grass and caused me to be defeated. Today I will rob him of food and grass, and make him die of pain!"

heard...

Yuan Shang immediately cupped his hands: "Father Commander Mingjian..."

Yuan Tan frowned, he had a vague premonition, but he didn't dare to say it, he knew his father's temperament too well, once he made a decision, the eight horses would not be able to chase him back!
...

...

Dark clouds covered the moon, the windows of Cao Cao's residence fluttered, and a slight voice came into the house through the windows,
In the hazy darkness, Cao Cao suddenly got up, lifted the bed suddenly, his eyes were fixed.

"Tap..."

Cao Cao walked like a stern man, Xu Chu seemed to realize something, and followed him closely. Finally, Cao Cao stopped when he reached Xun You's residence!
There are tiger-been warriors to pass on, but... this time, they didn't go through the main door, but the back door!

Not long after, Xun You arrived in a hurry.

Before he could speak, Cao Cao said in a low voice, "Yuan Shao has moved!"

Only these four words.

But Xun You's eyes suddenly became clear, he pondered for ten breaths, and then opened them. "Sure enough, Yuan Shao was tricked! Hehe, it seems that the eldest son sent not only 50 'big yellow croakers', but also an ambush!"

Xun You did not use the title "Lu Situ" to address Lu Yu, but directly used "the eldest son!"

He knew that Cao Cao liked him to be called that, and in private, he would also call him that.

certainly…

The strategy here was laid out by Xun You. Xun You was not sure whether the "fake food and grass" looted in Taishan County would reach Yuan Shao's ears, but he was sure that the whereabouts of the "True Food Team" could be deliberately discovered by Yuan Shao …

It is true that Yuan Shao is indecisive, but after suffering so many losses at the hands of the "eldest son", it is time to improve, right?

Xun You had predicted Yuan Shao's prediction!

"Cao Sikong, it's time to close the net!" Xun Youlang said.

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao smiled heartily and waved his hand immediately. "Order Yuan Rang, Zi Xiao, and Zi Lian to make an ambush! In this battle, I want Yuan Benchu's head!"

"Here..." Xu Chu agreed, and sent the Huben army to communicate.

...

...

In Donghai County, Lu Yu has been away from here for a whole day.

Following the withdrawal of the merchants...no, to be precise, the "Jiangbei League", silence returned here.

Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian looked extremely relaxed after seeing off the big Buddha "Lu Yu"...

now…

Hou Cheng was so tired that he drank some wine just now and went to the government office to rest.

Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian were still drinking freely, as if... they will not give up if they don't drink the wine in several large jars when they arrive at Hou Cheng's territory!
"Hahaha... come on, do it!" Wei Xu took the initiative to lift the wine bottle, and while drinking, he said with emotion: "This 'Baimahou' is really amazing, he has only been in Donghai County for ten days, and the food he has raised is more than 300 million shi It’s like picking up wheat and turning it into a mill, it’s a profitless business!”

"You know, what is the most brilliant thing about Baimahou?" Cheng Lian took a sip of his wine and said with deep emotion.

"What is it?"

Song Xian and Wei Xu hurriedly asked, their curiosity aroused.

"It's the national debt." Cheng Lian explained in detail: "The White Horse Marquis borrowed the national debt for Cao Sikong to support Cao Jun's Northern Expedition, but the one with the seal and ribbon is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which is our Han court, ha ha, in the future Ah, if Bai Mahou and Cao Sikong want to renege on their debts, the national debt in the hands of this group of merchants is just a piece of waste paper, but they dare not speak out!"

Yes…

The national debt borrowed by the big man, why should I, Lu Yu, pay it back?

Also, it is love;
If you don't pay it back, it's your duty;

Nothing is taken for granted!

In Cheng Lian's view, the five-year national debt will change greatly in the future, but...the only thing that is certain is that these merchants may make huge losses, at most they will make small profits, but Baimahou will never lose money!
And this national debt, in the future...can continue to be issued!

As long as the previous "interest money" is paid as usual, merchants in other states and counties are greedy for profit, who would not want to get involved?

It seems that Cao Jun has raised food for the three-year Northern Expedition, but this method can almost ensure that Cao Jun will no longer worry about food and grass for a long time!

Leeks grow one crop after another, and if you cut them, they will always grow again!

Speaking of which...

The three brothers must admire for a while, but... the admiration is admiration, it has nothing to do with their eggs!
"Hey, don't talk about Baimahou!" Song Xian raised his hand. "Let's talk about our own business. The White Horse Lord is gone, and the new round of poll tax should be paid. How much do you guys plan to pay this time?"

"Old rules!" Wei Xu said without thinking. "If there is a head tax of 50 people, half of it will be reported, and we will collect the rest..."

Speaking of this, Song Xian blinked his eyes. "By the way, over the years, we have been greedy for the head tax of Mexico. Brother Hou Cheng has also recruited a lot of thieves in private, and now they are hiding. Shouldn't we start our next operation?"

The next action Song Xiankou said was a big action jointly discussed by the four of them!

A big money-making operation.

In fact... They have already made a lot of money just because they are greedy for poll tax, but money?Who would want too much?Besides, the four of them are all greedy for money and profit, and the poll tax that is greedy for ink can no longer satisfy their appetite.

This time, I saw Lu Yuyun calmly earning so much money from merchants...

How could the four of them remain indifferent?

Therefore, the four of them planned to vote for the action Hou Cheng proposed before.

As for this action, it is within the territory of Xuzhou, on their own territory, privately raising bandits and pirates...

Looting the people's income is one of them;

The second is to ask the imperial court or Xuzhou Mu for money and food to pay the bandits;

The third thing... solicit donations, unite with the local gentry, and together pay for the bandits!
In the end... the big deal, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the common people's money will be divided into two or eight. Of course, the four of them are "eight"!The gentry is the "two", so win-win cooperation!
Greed is often endless.

Who doesn't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot?

"Hahaha... After doing this bottle, we will do this!"

Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian raised the wine bottle.

never thought...

Just when the wine bottle was lifted, they suddenly felt severe pain in their stomachs, as if...the internal organs were violently churning, and every organ in the body was slowly rotting away!

"This…"

A voice came out, but it stopped abruptly...

Seven orifices, the seven orifices on their faces (two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth) all bleed.

It is the so-called bleeding from the seven orifices!

"Poison...poison wine?"

The voice as thin as a gossamer...

It all happened so fast.

Almost there, none of them made a sound...

One breath, two breaths... In just ten breaths, their eyes have been covered with blood... Where is the breath between the nostrils?

Died, just died so silently...

The only thing that can be seen is the wine in the wine bottle, which fell to the ground, slightly frothing!
At the same time, the blood left in their seven orifices was black and red and purple!

at the same time…

Dark clouds covered the moon, the window of Hou Cheng's residence fluttered, a dagger pried open the window, jumped in, and in the hazy darkness, the dagger directly stabbed the bed...Hou Cheng's throat.

Well…

In an instant, the entire bedding was bright red.

The killer seemed to be very skilled, she pulled out Sipa from her bosom, and wiped her blood-stained hands!

"Humph…"

With a happy cold snort, under the bright moonlight, there was only a beautiful shadow left...

What followed was a low-pitched female voice.

"Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, Song Xian...four of them died, and there are three left!"

at this time…

There were already voices outside the window.

"Miss, let's go...someone is already here."

talking room...

This beautiful figure has climbed to the eaves, and the retreat route has been prepared long ago!
Until half an hour later...

"what…"

A scream resounded through the Donghai County Government Office!
Right here in the East China Sea Government Office...

Wei Xu, governor of Langya County, Song Xian, governor of Guangling County, Cheng Lian, governor of Dongguan County, died of poisoning, and Hou Cheng, governor of Donghai County, was assassinated and his throat was sealed with a sharp dagger!
...

...

On the bank of the Yellow River, a land of Pingqiu hundreds of miles away from Guandu.

This is a valley, where the Longxiao Battalion is escorting baskets of "big salted fish"...

Because of the large number of "salted fish", the walking speed is not fast. Tonight... it is here to camp.

On a moonlit night... the defenders at the gate of the military village look a little drowsy!

Suddenly, not far away... There seemed to be a slight sound, like the sound of a horse's hoof. Although this sound was very thin, it awakened a large group of birds that were sleeping soundly on the branches.

Immediately after…

With a bang, the flames soared into the sky!

"Da da da…"

The rapid and resounding sound of horseshoes followed.

"Enemy attack..."

"It's an enemy attack!"

"Protect food and grass, withdraw...withdraw..."

The soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion came to their senses and immediately covered the evacuation of the food team. They turned their heads from time to time to look, and saw thousands of Yuan character flags fluttering in the wind under the moonlight and among the torches.

The wind roared and flapped frantically on the flag, the sound of "hunting" sounded like Yuan Shao's anger at the moment!

——Take the way of the other, and return it to the other...

In the past, how did Cao Jun pass the checkpoint?How to burn Wuchao?This time... the same is true for Yuan Jun's 20 troops!

Isn't it through the darkest hour before the dawn?

Isn't it just wrapping coarse cloth on the horse's hoof and putting the horse's mouth on it?

Isn't it... Each soldier has a fire pocket in his mouth, ready to set fire at any time?

Once upon a time, how did Cao Cao do it?Today...he, Yuan Shao, will repay him twice as much!
At this moment, the flames in Yuan Shao's eyes roared...His command flag was raised high!

50 large yellow croakers?Big salted fish?
Ha ha…

If you get angry today, Cao Aman, I will give you 50 burnt fish!
There is also the Longxiao Camp... This nightmare in Yuan Shao's sleep, today——

--eye for eye!
"Whoever kills, burns the enemy's food and grass will be rewarded with a thousand gold! Whoever kills any Dragon Knight will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

Yuan Shao roared loudly!

suddenly...

There are deafening shouts of killing all around the entire valley!
"kill…"

"Burn food and grass!"

"Slay Long Xiaoqi!"

Infantry, Cavalry, Archers, Halberdiers, Spearmen...

The 20 soldiers of the Yuan army frantically rushed towards the food team escorted by Long Xiaoqi, as if they wanted to avenge their shame...

seem…

Long Xiaoying panicked!
However, it is not accurate to arbitrarily say that they were flustered, because...the three leaders, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, were laughing!
Although very restrained, but... I really can't stop laughing!

Especially Huang Zhong...

Who would have thought that at such an age, they could laugh so loudly!

"Mr. Huang, restrain yourself, don't make Yuan Shao see his flaws because of this smile!" Zhang Liao opened his mouth to persuade.

"Haha..." Huang Zhong kept laughing while galloping his horse.

However, he didn't seem to take Yuan Jun seriously at all. Instead, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Do the two generals know? How are these 50 salted fish made?"

what…

Gao Shun was a little dazed when he heard it, it was so late, Mr. Huang was still talking about salted fish.

To know…

The situation between them is dangerous. If a horse stumbles, they will really become salted fish.

Gao Shun thinks so...

But Huang Zhong still said: "Guess you don't know, haha, these salted fish are pickled with refined salt, which can be stored for half a year, and these refined salts were extracted by Huang Xu, my son of Huang Zhong, in Donghai County. I heard that Commander Lu specially set up a salt workshop, and my son is in charge of it! Take a look, it's not that bad!"

Hey…

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were in a daze, when did this happen!

He also praised his son... Yes, your son has made meritorious service, your son is awesome!
But now... is not the time to brag!

"Mr. Huang, let's think about our current situation!"

Gao Shun added...

"What are you afraid of!" Huang Zhong waved his hand. "Isn't this all expected? When the big yellow croaker pickled by my son arrived, I heard that Zhao Zilong also brought a kit!"

"You don't know, but I know it! There are only two sentences in the kit..."

"—Longxiao Battalion lures the enemy to go deep!"

"—Cao Sikong laying ambush on all sides!"

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong took off the bow on his back. "Isn't all of this in Lu Yu's plan?"

As he spoke, he turned his head, bent his bow and put an arrow... "嗖"... an arrow shot into the sky.

"Boom..."

It's a loud arrow!

The arrow made a crisp sound... It seemed that this sound quickly disappeared into the sound of horseshoes, but... it also seemed that some new sounds of horseshoes gradually resounded through the valley.

——"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the first battle drum resounded, and Xia Houyuan on the left and Gao Lan on the right rushed out!
——"Boom boom boom!"

The second battle drum resounded, the music entered on the left, and the ban was killed on the right.

——"Boom boom boom"

The third battle drum resounded, Li Dian on the left and Xu Huang on the right rushed out!
The fourth, fifth, and sixth drums followed one after another.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun...

Countless generals of Cao Ying rushed out one after another!
ten way...

A total of ten groups of soldiers and horses came out from ten places. This is exactly the plan of "ambush on ten sides" set up by Xun You!
——The Longxiao Battalion lures the enemy deep!

——Cao Sikong ambush on all sides!

The words Lu Yu entrusted Zhao Yun to bring to Cao Cao made Xun You... devise a perfect plan in an instant!

Set up a big game!

"kill…"

"Kill..."

"Boys, go!"

Cao Jun from the ten routes marched out together, occupying a favorable location, and their morale was high...

kill…

kill…

The earth-shattering resounding sound resounded through the valley here!

Here, there are 20 Cao Jun soldiers in ambush, the ambush set up last night...

And none of the 40 Yuan Jun in Guandu was moved, this was to avoid the leak of news!
When the Longxiao Camp and the so-called "food and grass" lured Yuan Jun into the designated place, everything was over...

At this moment, 20 Cao Jun descended down the mountain like fierce tigers, their generosity and bravery shook the sky, and the soaring evil spirit spread out, making all Yuan Jun's soldiers short of breath!

In the dark, in the firelight.

The spears and halberds were stained with a thick layer of golden light by the moonlight.

The collision of countless weapons...

The extremely bright sparks kept flickering under the night sky.

Whether it's terrain, morale... or the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, or equipment, the comparison between 20 Cao Jun and 20 Yuan Jun is just two words - complete victory!
It's a massacre...

A unilateral massacre by Cao Jun!

"How? How..."

The unfavorable battle situation made Yuan Shao keep shouting, "Didn't Cao Jun have no food? Didn't Cao Jun have already distributed food to Xiaohu? How... how..."

--kill!

--kill!

Before Yuan Shao finished yelling, he had already seen the weapons of his soldiers... being cut, split, and smashed by Cao Jun's fine steel halberds one by one!
In the confrontation between the two armies, Cao Jun rushed from high to low, taking advantage of the situation... The advantages of weapons can be displayed to the greatest extent...

Countless Yuan Jun soldiers were cut apart in an instant, and blood was spilled on the spot!
This battle killed a day and a night...

20 Yuan Jun is either dead or disabled!
Only Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang fought their way to the death and escorted their father Yuan Shao out of the encirclement.

familiar feeling...

It is the same as Guandu, the familiar feeling is back!
awful…

Looking at the battlefield here, what a miserable word!
...

...

Not far away, Cao Cao at the height of the valley is witnessing the battlefield here!
There are only three people around him, besides Xu Chu, the commander of the Huben Army, Xun You and Guo Jia...

Guo Jia was specially called by him!
This young man left a deep impression on him during the battle at Guandu!
"Congratulations to Cao Sikong, congratulations to Junshi Xun!"

Guo Jia spoke first...

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, but before he could speak...Xun You was the first to reply, "Bong Xiao? Why do you like it?"

"Gongda, you caught the turtle in the urn, ambushed on all sides, and wiped out Yuan Shao's old background in one battle. From now on, there will be few invincible soldiers in the northern border. Such a credit? Isn't it something to celebrate?" Guo said. Jia replied with a smile.

"Feng Xiao, don't praise me." Xun You waved his hand. He and Guo Jia are both talented people in Yingchuan, and they have known each other since childhood...and they speak more directly.

"Others understand it, but don't you understand it?" Xun You said with a smile: "The decisive battle between Cao Sikong and Yuan Shao has ended since the day the 50 salted fish were delivered! There is no room for change. Already!"

call…

Speaking of this, Guo Jia exhaled lightly

"Hahaha!"

However, Cao Cao reached out to Xun You and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder. "It is true that Lu Situ has contributed to raising food, but Gongda should not underestimate himself. You also have a share of the credit for this ambush!"

Having said this, Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, did you just say congratulations to Cao Cao? What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Cao Sikong really wants to hear it?"

"Say…"

After receiving Cao Cao's affirmative answer, Guo Jia's tone suddenly became much more serious. After a few breaths, he uttered four words, four words that were earth-shattering——

——"Yuan Shao, checkmate!"

Huo…

Yuan Shao will die?

The eyeballs of Cao Cao and Xun You suddenly widened!

Of course, they naturally don't know that according to the wheel of history, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have a well-known title - Guimou!
——Ghost conspirators can determine life and death!
