Chapter 396 Cutting Tadun, Killing Gongsun 1
It may be a good thing for Gongsun Zan to die on the battlefield as a warrior. After not killing all his wives, concubines and children, he set himself on fire in Yijinglou.

As for Gongsun Xu and Guan Jing of Jixian County, after seeing Gongsun Zan's broken body, they felt like they were struck by a bolt from the blue and fell into despair.

With the enemy at hand, Gongsun Xu thought he was unable to defend Ji County, so he was willing to open the city and surrender in exchange for Gongsun Zan's body.

When Li Yao heard about it, he readily agreed.

As the gates of the city were gradually opened, everything was settled, and Li Yao formally took control of Ji County. The rest of the local officials, fearing that they would be liquidated, scrambled to send people to surrender.

At the same time, Li Yao sent Qu Yi and led [-] cavalry to bring Yan Rou over.

Only four days later, Yan Rou was brought to Li Yao by Qu Yi. At this time, Yan Rou lowered her eyebrows and showed no signs of being unruly.

He still remembers that one day before he was surrounded by Qu Yi's troops, Qu Yi asked him whether he should take the initiative to go with him, or kill all the bastards around him and become a prisoner to go with him.

In anger, Yan Rou chose to take the initiative to go with Qu Yi, and even comforted herself in her heart, this is called submitting to the court, this is called abandoning darkness and turning to light...

Li Yao had a very gentle attitude, looked at Yan Rou and said with a smile:

"I know your situation. After all, there is a reason for the incident, and if you take the initiative to seek refuge, I will not punish you. However, your Captain Wuhuan has not been reported to the court, and has not been approved by the emperor. It must be taken back, and there must be no mistakes..."

"Without credit or qualifications, I am also very difficult to handle, do you understand?"

Yan Rou felt bitter in her heart, but then suddenly realized that this matter is very difficult, not completely impossible, so she immediately saluted respectfully and said:

"Whatever orders the general has, I will try my best to do it well!"

Li Yao glanced at him appreciatively. He was still a smart man. It would be easier if he was smart. Then he suppressed his smile and said calmly:
"Since Youzhou is back under the control of the imperial court, I don't want to leave behind any hidden dangers. Wuhuan of the three counties can stay, but Wuhuan of the three counties must not have a Wuhuan Shanyu..."

"I want Tadun's head, and the rest of Wuhuan households will be organized into all the people. They will be managed by the local prefect and the Wuhuan captain. They must become a force in the hands of the imperial court. I don't want anyone to be able to rely on personal prestige." Pull out a Wuhuan cavalry!"

Yan Rou's heart moved. Tadun was ambitious. After taking over the position of leader from Qiu Liju, he twisted Wuhuan of the three counties into one rope. If Tadun were removed, who would be more qualified to manage Thinking of the remaining Wuhuan tribes here, Yan Rou felt a burst of heat:
"General, if you want to go to Liucheng, you have to take the seaside road, but after the summer, the seaside road is so muddy that the cavalry can't charge up. As long as you hold a few key points, even a hundred thousand troops will turn into hundreds of thousands of corpses... ..."

"The second is to take the Lulong Road. Although the road is rugged, the road condition is better. If we can send out surprise troops and bring enough dry food and drinking water, it is very possible to surprise Liucheng and kill Tadun!"

Li Yao was not too surprised when he heard this, Xu Rong had already introduced him, but Yan Rou's ability to explain the situation on his own initiative proved that he was really willing to take refuge in him.

The road near the sea is not easy to walk, and in fact Lulong road is also not easy to walk. After leaving the Lulong fortress, it is basically a deserted land. You may walk for hundreds of miles without finding food or water. If you get lost, then It's even worse.

In the original history, Cao Cao had suffered a lot and had no choice but to kill thousands of war horses to satisfy his hunger. However, he was very lucky. He met Wuhuan at White Wolf Mountain and sent cavalry when the infantry behind him failed to keep up. A surprise attack was carried out, and Zhang Liao killed Tadun before the expedition was considered to be over, which seemed to be a bit of destiny.

But for Li Yao, he only collected [-] Xianbei and obtained millions of livestock. Even if he went on an expedition, he didn't need to rely on manpower to carry food from the Central Plains like Cao Cao did.

So Li Yao looked at Yan Rou, smiled, and said gently:

"Then Yan Rou, I want you to be an envoy, and I will equip you with a deputy envoy and a team of envoys. After ten days, I will take the road along the sea and go to Liucheng to appease Tadun..."

"You just need to convince Tadun that I have no intention of going on an expedition to Liucheng. If he can continue to submit to the court and show his loyalty, I will show up to the emperor, forgive his sins, open a horse market on the border, and reward him every year!"

Yan Rou was stunned for a moment, and panic flashed across her eyes. While touching your head, speaking softly to comfort you, she quietly drew out the knife and chopped off your head with one blow.

This Li Yao...is too scary...

Does Yan Rou dare to refuse?He nodded directly and said:
"I will do my best. General, who should be sent to lead the troops and how many troops should be led..."

Li Yao did not directly say:

"I have my own arrangements for sending troops. You don't need to know. Of course, as long as you can complete the task, I will grant you the position of Wuhuan Colonel. It is not impossible for you to become an official in the court in the future. I don't value family background. I only value ability. Your background is a minus in the eyes of those famous scholars, but it is a plus in my eyes. Take advantage of it and don't let me down."

Yan Rou was silent for a moment. He is a Han, but he was taken captive by Wuhuan and brought up to graze on the grasslands. He was also a mixture of Hu and Han in Youzhou, so he was able to have both sides. However, his background has already determined his achievements. Captain Wuhuan was actually an accident.

With a look of firmness in her eyes, Yan Rou said heavily:

"If you don't die, then I will die!"

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction. Ten days later, he personally sent Yan Rou away and asked Yan Rou to bring a lot of gifts. As long as he could confuse Tadun, he could easily get rid of her.

After sending Yan Rou away, Li Yao went to the barracks in person, summoned all the generals under his command, looked at them and said:

"Are you all ready?"

The people on the left and right responded loudly:

"General please order!"

Li Yao looked serious and said solemnly:
"Well, I'm going to sit in Ji County, Xu Rong, you are the main general in this raid, Zi Ang, Wen Yuan, you take the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army, follow General Xu Rong, break Liucheng, and cut Tadun!"

The three stood up immediately and responded loudly:
"Follow the order!"

At this time, Li Yao's expression softened:

"General Xu Rong, you are familiar with the local situation. Although Wuhuan is not a serious problem, it is blocking the only way to enter and exit Liaodong. If it is not resolved soon, the imperial court will lose control of Liaodong..."

"Zi'ang, Wenyuan, Liangzhou Army, and Bingzhou Army are the main force in this battle, but they are not natives of Youzhou after all. Don't underestimate the enemy and act rashly..."

"I hope that you will work together to win this battle in one fell swoop. This time, we will defeat Xianbei, destroy Gongsun, and win consecutive battles. I don't want to hear about the defeat in the end!"
