Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 24: Fatal Ambush
Tianmen Mountain, Yuan family military camp.

Inside the tent, candlelight flickered.

Han Meng received another letter from Yuan Shao.

But as soon as he unfolded the letter, his face changed and he looked surprised.

The chief clerk standing nearby noticed his strange expression and couldn't help but feel nervous. He hurried forward and asked, "General, what happened? Is there any change?"

Han Meng slowly raised his head, his voice filled with disbelief, "Do you know that Lü Kuang and the thirty halberd warriors I sent to the city are all gone?"

"Gone? How is that possible? Who did it? Could it be the Embroidered Uniform Guards or the Northern Army?" The chief clerk's expression suddenly changed and he asked repeatedly.

He knew Lu Kuang's abilities very well. He was a general who could be ranked among the top ten generals of the Yuan family!

The thirty halberd warriors should not be underestimated either. They can defeat three thousand imperial regular troops on the front battlefield!
Such an elite force, let alone sweeping across Luoyang City, would definitely not be able to defeat them.

Considering the situation in Luoyang City, the only ones capable and likely to take action are probably the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Northern Army.

Behind these two forces is Emperor Liu Hong!

Once these two forces take action, it means that Liu Hong has launched another attack on the aristocratic families.

It must not be underestimated!

Han Meng slowly shook his head and said, "Neither!"

"Neither? Then who else could it be?" the chief clerk asked in confusion.

Han Meng handed the letter to the chief clerk and said, "It's from the Rare Treasure Pavilion! I never thought a shop selling glassware would hide such power. They are truly despicable!"

"The Pavilion of Rare Treasures? They were able to swiftly annihilate Lü Kuang and thirty halberd warriors. They are truly extraordinary...

What? Young Master Shao actually ordered the general to lead his entire battalion of 3,000 halberd warriors into the city?
This, this, this is too absurd! "The chief clerk quickly glanced through the letter and exclaimed in surprise.

This matter is indeed of great importance, as Luoyang City is the emperor's territory.

It was not difficult to send thirty halberd warriors into the city before. After all, they were few in number and small in target. As long as they hid well, they would not be noticed.

But how big is the goal of the three thousand halberd warriors?

There was no way to cover up one's tracks by entering the city.

What is this for?
Is this a blatant provocation to Emperor Liu Hong? Is he going to have a face-to-face confrontation with Liu Hong?

At this moment, the chief clerk almost thought that Yuan Shao had gone crazy!
Han Meng also thought that Yuan Shao's decision was a bit abnormal, but he couldn't say it.

Because he has completely become Yuan Shao's man.

Before sending out Lü Kuang and the thirty halberd-wielding soldiers, he and Yuan Shao were still in a close yet distant cooperative relationship.

When he obeyed Yuan Shao's orders and sent Lu Kuang and thirty halberd warriors into the city without asking Yuan Po and Yuan Ji for permission, it meant that he had completely surrendered to Yuan Shao and was tied to Yuan Shao.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

Being tied to Yuan Shao means that he has betrayed Yuan Po and Yuan Ji.

So no matter how ridiculous Yuan Shao's order was at this time, he could not object.

Because once he opposed it, he would be betraying Yuan Shao as well.

Then he will no longer have a place in the Yuan family!
“Well, actually, Master Shao’s consideration is not unreasonable.

This matter cannot be concealed and will inevitably shock Luoyang and even the world!

If this matter is not resolved quickly, it will deal a fatal blow to the Yuan family's prestige.

"The best plan now is to bring 3,000 halberd warriors into the city and destroy the Rare Treasure Pavilion with lightning speed. This will not only save face, but also shock the people and demonstrate strength—killing three birds with one stone," Han Meng analyzed.

The chief clerk suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Han Meng with an incredible look and said: "General, you are not really going to bring 3,000 halberd soldiers into the city, are you? General, think twice! This move will inevitably lead to a head-on conflict between the Yuan family and the emperor, and the consequences are unpredictable!" "Everything has its pros and cons. Entering the city certainly has its disadvantages, but it also has its advantages. In addition, the order of Master Shao cannot be refused!

Okay, this matter is settled. No need to mention it anymore. I will gather the troops and rush to Luoyang City!
Since you don't want to go to Luoyang City, then stay in the Yuan family camp and guard it!"

Han Meng gave an order and then hurried out of the tent without giving the chief clerk a chance to speak.

The chief clerk watched him leave, stamping his feet anxiously and saying, "How could this be? How could this be?"

But there was no point in his anxiety, as Han Meng was the commander of the Yuan family’s military camp.

He was just the chief clerk in the camp, in charge of logistics and clerical work.

There is not much room for interference in matters of marching and fighting!
He could only stay obediently in the Yuan family military camp and watch Han Meng and three thousand halberd-wielding soldiers leave the camp and head towards an unpredictable future.

……

Tianmen Mountain, Death Valley.

This is a valley not far from the Yuan family military camp, and it is also the only way for the halberd soldiers of the Yuan family military camp to get out of the mountains.

Originally, this valley had no name, but Ji Qiugang gave it this name, which embodies Ji Qiu's earnest hope at the time.

Ji Qiu stood on the left side of the Death Valley, with Wei Yan and three hundred rangers behind him.

They just arrived here.

In fact, as early as Ji Qiu learned the exact location of the Yuan family military camp, he had the idea of ​​destroying the Yuan family military camp.

The reason for this idea is very simple. The Yuan family, which owns the Yuan family military camp, is too powerful in Luoyang City.

The Yuan Family Military Camp nominally belongs to the Yuan family, but in reality it is shared by all the aristocratic families.

With this power, they can resist the imperial power in Luoyang City.

In the future, Yuan Shao would rely on this force to completely defeat the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Although Ji Qiu did not join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he could be called a member of the imperial party and had a mortal feud with the Yuan family.

Therefore, whether considering the overall situation or personal considerations, he tried to find ways to weaken the power of the aristocratic families, especially the Yuan family, and strengthen the power of the imperial camp.

It would be best to create a situation where the imperial power controls Luoyang City and the aristocratic families control the local area, which would best suit his interests.

So he wanted to destroy the Yuan family’s military camp.

But this is not an easy task.

The Yuan family’s military camp was built extremely solidly, and many secret techniques were deployed in the camp.

The Yuan family's halberd warriors are extremely powerful and difficult to eliminate instantly.

Therefore, it is impossible to destroy the Yuan family military camp by destroying the Dragon Weapon Pavilion.

We must first lure the halberd soldiers out of Yuan’s military camp.

That's why he set up this plan.

After annihilating Lü Kuang and thirty halberd-wielding soldiers, they sent Lü Kuang's head to Yuan Shao.

It was just to provoke Yuan Shao and make him release the 3,000 halberd soldiers in Yuan’s military camp.

As for asking Ren Hongchang to ask Wang Yue for benefits, he would do it in vain.

Therefore, while sending the head to the Sili Xiaowei Mansion, Ji Qiu also asked Wei Yan to take three hundred rangers out of the city and head to the Death Valley.

The reason why he only brought three hundred rangers was because Wei Yan's Wei Wuzu secret technique could only support three hundred people at most.
