The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 345
Wang Xiu glanced at Dongfang Sheng, immediately got off his horse and bowed his hands to salute, "I don't know what is the important matter of Yizhou Mu coming here? My master is not in the city, so I can only receive you on my behalf."

The soldiers sent by Wang Xiu obediently retreated to the side when they saw Wang Xiu's appearance.

Dongfang Sheng smiled and said, "Don't you know why I came here?"

When Wang Xiu heard Dongfang Sheng's words, he immediately showed a smile like a chrysanthemum in full bloom and said, "Lord Zhou Mu is indeed a cheerful person, let's talk here."

Dongfang Sheng got off his horse and walked to the side with Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu, who was looking at the honesty, immediately showed a philistine face and said, "I don't know what Master Zhou intends to do? Is it just an excuse?"

"Don't worry about it, Wang Biejia. I didn't come here this time to rob or make excuses. I want Qingzhou." Dongfang Sheng admitted domineeringly.

Wang Xiu's complexion changed, and he said seriously: "If Lord State Shepherd can keep Qingzhou safe, I will swear allegiance to the death. If not, please ask Lord State Shepherd to give up this idea."

Dongfang Sheng stared at Wang Xiu for a while, there was no trace of falsehood on Wang Xiu's face and eyes, which showed that he was telling the truth.

"If Qingzhou is handed over to you, can it be preserved when I come back?" Dongfang Sheng asked.

"No!" Wang Xiu's answer was very straightforward, "Master Yuan transferred all Qingzhou's troops to Liyang to resist Cao's bandits. Without soldiers, how can Qingzhou be defended?"

"How many troops do you need?" Dongfang Sheng asked simply.

"1 horses are enough." Wang Xiu didn't think that Dongfang Sheng would hand over Qingzhou to him, so he said without any concealment.

Dongfang Sheng patted Wang Xiu's shoulder heavily and said, "Okay, I'll give you 1 horses, and Qingzhou will be handed over to you first."

Wang Xiu only felt that his shoulders went numb all of a sudden, but compared to the physical feeling, the shock in his heart made him a little bit unresponsive, and he even stuttered a little: "You...really... give me With [-] soldiers and horses, let me manage Qingzhou, you are not afraid that I will join Yuan Tan?"

"Afraid! Why aren't you afraid?" Dongfang Sheng said with a smile, "But I believe that a person who can go out of the city alone to negotiate with the enemy for the sake of the people will not go back on his word!"

Wang Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and shook the folds of his clothes, then bowed his hands respectfully to Dongfang Sheng and said, "Don't worry, my lord, unless I, Wang Xiu, die, no one will be able to take Qingzhou away!"

"There is hope only in life, don't talk about dying and dying all day long." Dongfang Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Yes, my lord is right." Wang Xiu nodded and said, "I don't know what your lord's plan is this time?"

"Youzhou!" Dongfang Sheng spat out two words.

A gleam of light flashed in Wang Xiu's eyes and said: "Youzhou is a bitterly cold place in the north, and it is adjacent to the Xianbei people, and has been harassed by foreign tribes. Therefore, in the land of Hebei, the people of Youzhou are the toughest. If my lord can get Youzhou, Recruiting local elite soldiers will definitely be of great use.”

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Wang Xiudao: "Everyone thinks that I want to attack the Yuan family together with Cao Cao, but my real goal is Youzhou, and the north is where the great cause lies. If I can't occupy a place as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve anything in the future. "

"My lord is wise!" Wang Xiu bowed his head and said in complete convincing.

After the two chatted, Wang Xiu consciously followed behind Dongfang Sheng.

Compared with Yuan Tan's self-willedness, Wang Xiu thinks Dongfang Sheng is a wise master.

Even though Wang Xiu was loyal to Yuan Tan, he was even more loyal to the people of Qingzhou. What's more, judging from the current situation, Dongfang Sheng seemed to be more reliable than Yuan Tan.

Dongfang Sheng rode a red rabbit horse and entered the city side by side with Wang Xiu. After the city gate opened, the people inside blocked the door with all kinds of farm tools, and they didn't disperse until Wang Xiu dismounted and explained.

During this period, Wang Xiu secretly observed Dongfang Sheng's reaction, and found that he was not upset at all, but had an expression of admiration, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shao came from a powerful family, and his three sons were also superior since childhood, so in Yuan's group, they will never pay attention to the bottom.

When Yuan Tan first arrived in Qingzhou, the people of Qingzhou cheered and thought that a reliable parent official had come.It's a pity that it didn't take long for Yuan Tan to allow his subordinates to plunder around Qingzhou and treat the people like nothing. This kind of behavior has completely cooled the hearts of the people in Qingzhou.

Whoever comes to Qingzhou to take charge of this matter will not affect the mood of this group of people. The only thing they care about is Lord Wang Xiu who has always stood up for them.

Dongfang Sheng was quite satisfied when he saw that Wang Xiu was loved by the people.

"Wang Xiu's traitor dared to betray Qingzhou, it's despicable! Everyone, hurry up and kill this rebellious traitor with me, Gongshalu!"

A discordant voice sounded from behind the crowd.

From a distance, Dongfang Sheng saw a bloated guy wearing a dark black Zen robe with straight train swaggeringly coming from behind, followed by dozens of strong men who looked like domestic slaves.

Wang Xiu frowned when he saw Gong Shalu, Dongfang Sheng turned his head and asked, "Who is this guy from?"

"He is the head of the Gongsha clan, a local clan. Relying on the strength of the Gongsha clan, he doesn't listen to government orders, doesn't listen to the government's orders, and is usually unreasonable and oppresses the people. If it wasn't for Mr. Yuan...huh!" Wang Xiu was a little disgusted. Said.

"In that case, let's kill it!" Dongfang Sheng said flatly.

Wang Xiu said nervously: "But their Gongsha family has a huge power in Dongpingling County. If they act rashly, they may cause trouble."

"You have 1 horses, but you still can't get a clan in a county?" Dongfang Sheng smiled lightly.

"Zilong, you, Tuoba, and Baozi, show Wang Biejia our strength."

"Here!"

The three of Zhao Yun replied together.

The three got off their horses and took out their weapons to charge towards Gong Shalu and his party. The reason why they got off their horses was because they were afraid of accidentally hurting the surrounding people. This small detail made Wang Xiu completely relieved.

But immediately his brows frowned again. The private soldiers and domestic slaves in Gongshalu's family were not silver-like pewter guns. They were soldiers who farmed at ordinary times and had to be trained in spring and autumn. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers may not be weak. to ordinary soldiers.

"My lord, do you need me to send some troops?" Wang Xiu asked worriedly, "Gong Shalu's private soldiers and domestic slaves are not something ordinary soldiers can deal with."

Dongfang Sheng raised his mouth and said, "The three who rushed out are three generals in our army. Do you think they will lose?"

At this time, Zhao Yun was in front, Dongfang Leopard and Tuobahan were on the left and right, and the three of them formed horns and rushed towards Gongshalu.
