I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 772: Wei Clan Turns Against the Party
Hedong County, on the west bank of the Sushui River, is the Baibo military camp.

"Oh? What did you say?"

"Grand Governor Wang Yi actually sent us a generous gift, inviting us to join forces to defeat Su Yao and rebel against the imperial court?"

In the Juyi Hall, a strange and surprised expression appeared on the face of Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo Army.

"That's right, Commander Qu!"

General Han Xian said excitedly:

"The messenger reported that General Su Yao will lead 3,000 soldiers and will arrive in Anyi within a month."

"Grandmaster Wang and his men will find a way to keep the imperial army out, giving us a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy."

"They even sent us a large number of gifts and said they would provide us with accurate military information."

"That's not right. When did the old turtle become so generous? Is there some conspiracy behind this?"

The person who answered the call was another general under Guo Tai's command - Hu Cai.

Together with Han Xian, he was one of the four kings of the Baibo Army.

However, now, due to Su Yao's previous attack on them, one of the other two of the Four Heavenly Kings surrendered and the other died, and the Baibo Army also suffered heavy losses.

The blow was so heavy that they now gritted their teeth whenever they heard Su Yao's name, and at the same time they remained extremely wary of Su Yao.

In Hu Cai's opinion, although the prefect Wang Yi was a pedantic and incompetent person, he was quite proud of his status.

Hu Cai couldn't understand why such a person would betray the court and associate with people like him who had become bandits.

Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo looked back and forth between Hu Cai and Han Xian, and finally decided to meet the envoy in person to find out the reason.

Soon, Yang Qi came to the Juyi Hall with generous gifts.

Guo Tai sat at the first seat in the Juyi Hall, looking sharply at Yang Qi standing in the hall. Beside him, Han Xian, Hu Cai and other generals also stared at the envoy from the Hedong prefectural government, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Yang Qi remained calm, bowed respectfully, and then slowly said, "General Guo Qu, I am Yang Qi, and I have come to see you on the orders of the governor Wang Yi."

Mrs. Guo nodded slightly and asked knowingly, "I have heard of Mr. Yang's great name for a long time. I wonder why you have come all the way here?"

Yang Qi smiled slightly, explained the purpose of the trip in detail, then took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands:

"This is a letter written by the governor himself. The commander will know it at a glance."

Mrs. Guo took the letter and read it carefully.

In the letter, Wang Yi indeed described in detail the situation that Su Yao was about to lead his troops to Hedong, as well as the cooperation plan he proposed.

After reading it, Mrs. Guo pondered for a moment and did not comment.

Yang Qi was not in a hurry when he saw this, but Han Xian took the initiative to express his opinion:
"Master Qu, this is a good opportunity!"

"That bastard surnamed Su dared to come and provoke us with only 3,000 soldiers and horses. I guess he thought the governor of Hedong would obey his orders."

"Now that old Governor Wang is willing to cooperate with us, shouldn't it be easy to annihilate Su Yao?"

"This is a great opportunity for us to avenge Li Le and the others!"

"It may be an opportunity or a trap. I am afraid it is still in the middle of nowhere."

Mrs. Guo looked at Han Xian's excited expression, frowned slightly, and glanced at Yang Qi again, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Yang, this matter is of great importance. You should know how serious it is."

"You want me to risk my life just for the sake of money. You must give me a reason to trust you."

Yang Qi nodded upon hearing this, and immediately told them their previous concerns truthfully:
"Su Yao supported the empress and exercised absolute power to reform the system, which made many noble families in the world dissatisfied."

"He has just killed Wang Kuang of Hanoi and is here again with his troops." "His ostensible target is the warriors of the Baibo Army, but in fact, we all know that his real purpose is not to kill him, but to kill our governor."

"My governor does not want to follow in Wang Kuang's footsteps, so he can only take a risky move and form an alliance with you to fight Su Yao together!"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, a hint of thought flashed in her eyes.

He naturally understood what Yang Qi meant. Su Yao's reputation and methods were well-known throughout the world. He came to Hedong this time probably not only to pacify the Baibo Army, but also to strengthen his control over the local area and consolidate his own power.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Guo clenched her fists.

In any case, he had never thought that the little village chief who was not even in his eyes in Bingzhou in the past would become a world-famous general almost in the blink of an eye. This shows the ability of this boy.

In this case, now is probably a good time to eliminate it in one fell swoop and prevent future troubles.

"Guo has accepted Lord Wang's request."

Mrs. Guo took a deep breath and said to the guest:
"Please ask Mr. Yang to go back and tell Governor Wang that we will fulfill our obligations as an ally and mobilize our troops as soon as possible."

"Before that, please ask him to hold Su Yao back and create a suitable opportunity for us to annihilate the enemy."

Yang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Commander, for your understanding of justice. I will definitely convey your message to the governor."

After saying this, Yang Qi said goodbye and left, returning to Anyi City with Guo Tai's reply.

Mrs. Guo looked at Yang Qi's departing back, but she was not completely relaxed in her heart.

Hu Cai also shared the same concerns:

"Commander Qu, have you really decided to cooperate with Wang Yi?"

"That old turtle is not a good person. I'm afraid he is taking advantage of us."

Mrs. Guo nodded: "The use is mutual. As long as Su Yao can be killed, then temporary cooperation is acceptable."

Guo Tai said so, but in actual action he did not completely rely on Wang Yi's actions.

While Su Yao was mobilizing the army and preparing to march into Hedong, Guo Tai was also mobilizing and sending out spies to inquire about clues through various previous smuggling channels to avoid being deceived.

Soon, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Time gradually came to the end of May, and Su Yao's army finally arrived at the city of Anyi.

Hedong County, outside Anyi City.

Su Yao rode on his horse, staring at the closed city gate in front of him with sharp eyes.

The sunlight shone on his silver armor and red robe, shining a dazzling light. Behind him, three thousand elite cavalrymen were lined up and waiting, with great momentum.

"General, Wang Yi is really refusing to see anyone. It's obvious that he doesn't take our court seriously!" Guan Yu rode his horse to Su Yao's side and said with narrowed eyes.

Guan Yu's words were echoed by the surrounding soldiers. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and had not expected this result.

Originally, everyone sent troops to Hedong to quell the rebellion to help Wang Yi clean up his mess, but who knew they would be treated like this.

Immediately, the hot-tempered Zhang Fei asked for a battle, saying that he wanted to capture these traitors.

Zhang Fei's voice asking for battle echoed in front of the formation, and his eyes flashed with anger, as if he wanted to burn down the entire Anyi City in front of him.

However, immediately, a voice hurriedly advised:

"Generals, there is no need to worry. Governor Wang Yi is just a fence-sitter who lacks his own opinion. Why bother with him?"

The person who spoke was none other than Mr. Wei, a descendant of the Wei family in Hedong, who was highly respected by Wang Yi - Wei Ji.

What Wang Yi did not expect was that Wei Ji, whom he sent to welcome Su Yao, actually took advantage of this opportunity to secretly surrender to Su Yao and revealed all the plans they had discussed before.
