Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C404
That night, Yangzhou Stinger Warm invited Cao Cao and his brothers. At this time, the Yangzhou was not as prosperous as the Central Plains. After eating their fill, they sent Cao Cao and the others to rest, and immediately started discussing with Danyang Zhou Xin.
The Yangzhou Stinger Warm had an old relationship with Cao Cao, and Danyang Zhou Xin was the younger brother of Cao Cao’s Military Advisor Zhou Xi. With such a deep personal relationship and the righteous cause of eliminating Dong Zhuo, since Cao Cao came all the way here, they had to express it.
The two old fellows finally reached an agreement after a secret agreement in the middle of the night. They all agreed that in order to support Cao Cao’s ambition to suppress them, they would give their all and decided to transfer 2,000 soldiers from the Yangzhou to the Regional Army, and 2,000 soldiers from the Danyang to the County Army to Cao Cao.
Hearing that it was possible to transfer soldiers to himself, Cao Cao could not help but be overjoyed. This not only saved him the trouble of recruiting soldiers, but it also made him a well-trained soldier.
Cao Cao didn’t know that, but the truth was that the Yangzhou Stinger Warm and the Danyang Zhou Xin wanted to send him away as soon as possible. If Cao Cao had to recruit a few thousand soldiers from the Yangzhou, it would at least take a few months.
Furthermore, the soldiers they gave to Cao Cao were not their elite. Either they were mischievous, mischievous, or they were older, and there were even some who were wounded. In any case, they were all soldiers that they were preparing to eliminate, so giving them to the Cao family wouldn’t be painful.
Cao Cao had already muddled on to such a pathetic state, he couldn’t afford to care about these things. Just by looking at them roughly, he understood the quality of these soldiers. However, he also knew that with his current financial resources, he couldn’t afford to raise elite soldiers. It was already a good thing that he had soldiers like this.
Maybe because he was too happy, Cao Cao did not seriously look at the eyes of these soldiers. Just as he was busy heading to the Yangzhou Stinger Warm and Danyang to thank them, an anger was brewing within these soldiers.
Although the Dan Yang Soldier is a brave and sturdy warrior, but their demands are very high. Otherwise, who would fight for you for no reason? Their goal in battle was very simple, and that was for the money. Whoever paid the money to risk their lives for someone, it could be said that the Dan Yang Soldier was the first soldier hired by the human race.
They had long heard that Cao Cao had sold his assets and, with the help of others, only recruited a few thousand troops. They disdained working for a general who had neither the money nor the ability to use troops.
Although their income was not high, they were not in any danger. They were only dealing with the rebellious Barbarian and the robbing bandits, it was as easy as hunting. Furthermore, they were not far from home, and could often go home to see their wives and children.
But now, if he followed Cao Cao to fight Dong Zhuo, the situation would be completely different. West Cold Army was like a tiger or a wolf. If they wanted to fight, they would have to put their heads on their belts. It wasn’t that they were afraid of death, but that the risks were too great and the rewards were too little.
In Cao Cao’s eyes, the soldiers were just puppets with blades and spears. He could have tried his best to seduce the generals, to have tried his best to recruit advisers, but he would not have paid the slightest attention to the soldiers. Just like when he lost the war at Ying Yang, his heart ached for his money, not for the lives of the soldiers.
Cao Cao brought Dan Yang Soldier along excitedly on his way, as if he had the capital to do a big job. Along the way, the voices became louder, the anger became thicker, and they continued to ridicule the Duke of Guandong. That night, they went to Yuen Kowloon and camped there for the night.
That night, near midnight, a rebellion broke out among the Dan Yang Soldier. The rebel soldiers used torches to burn down the camp and attacked Cao Cao’s Big Account. In a short period of time, flames soared into the sky and thick smoke billowed. The sound of crying for a father and calling for a mother resounded throughout the entire camp.
Fortunately Cao Cao had woken up from his sleep, he rushed out of the tent with the longsword in his hand and started chopping down at the traitors. Although Cao Cao was short, he had some strength and martial arts. In one breath, he had killed more than a dozen of the rebel soldiers, almost exhausting him to death.
During the time of Guan Jian, Cao Cao’s brothers Xia Hou ton, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and the others had once again saved the life of the entire situation. No matter how fierce and fierce the Dan Yang Soldier was, they were not their match. In a short while, they had chopped down a large area of land.
This time, Dan Yang Soldier experienced what martial arts was! That was not something that could be practiced with just brute force and ferocity. In the chaos, the four of them held onto long knife as they rode their horses and rampaged around. long knife s flew up high, and heads flew up into the sky one after another.
“Kill!” Kill them all! “Kill these traitors!” Cao Cao roared fiercely. His two small eyes were red like a torch and the longsword in his hands flew. His heart was filled with hatred. How could he be so unlucky that the soldiers he had borrowed would actually rebel?!
In fact, Cao Cao was also secretly rejoicing at the fact that they had rebelled earlier. If they were allowed to go onto the battlefield, when they fought with Dong Zhuo, if they suddenly rebelled, or if they were to turn on him, it would be too late for Cao Cao to cry.
Those Dan Yang Soldier s did not really want to kill Cao Cao either. They simply wanted to create chaos and take the opportunity to escape. Seeing that Cao Cao and his brothers were trying to suppress the rebellion, most of the Dan Yang Soldier chose to escape as soon as they saw the opportunity.
When the camp was quiet, Cao Hong immediately counted the number of people. Other than those who were killed and those who ran away, there were only about a thousand people. Furthermore, these thousand odd soldiers were the older soldiers. They had already built their families and were unwilling to work, so Yangzhou Stinger Warm and taiwai Zhou Xin did not want them anymore. They could only follow Cao Cao and earn some military salaries to support their families.
Cao Cao’s face was filled with dejection, his chest felt extremely depressed, but no one said a thing. He walked to a place where there was no one, and looked up at the pitch-black night sky. Hot tears welled in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. Why is that? ”
All of a sudden, a shooting star streaked across the dark night, and flew far away into the distance, leaving only the cold night sky, which was still so dark that one could not even see one’s own fingers.
Looking at the mountain of classic bamboo slips and spongy silk s, Zhang Banxian had a helpless expression. Since the beginning of April, the Ying Yang area had been filled with rain and gloomy rain. With this many bamboo slips and spongy silk piled together, it would be hard for him to explain to the hussar general if something bad happened.
Right now, there were Yuan Shao’s Guandong Allied Army to the east and Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang soldier to the west. Both sides were in a state of battle, and the bamboo slips and spongy silk were unable to be transported out. Although Zhang Banxian could read these classics everyday, he was not happy at all.
“Master Scholar, Fei Hong and Li Liang are here.” Just as Zhang Banxian was facing the bamboo slips and spongy silk s in a daze, Wu Feng walked in. As the two of them were in Xu Rong’s army, Wu Feng followed Xu Rong’s Generals and addressed him as “Zhang Banxian”.
“Why are they here?” Zhang Banxian was startled and asked anxiously. Fei Hong was protecting Young Emperor Liu Bian, but he suddenly ran over, could it be that something has happened to Young Emperor Liu Bian? ” Tell them to come into the warehouse and stand guard outside. Don’t let anyone in. ”
Not long later, Fei Hong and Li Liang walked in, a young man followed behind them. Zhang Banxian thought that it was Young Emperor Liu Bian. Just as she was about to bow, he saw the sweet smile of the young man. It was only then that Zhang Banxian realised that this was actually Diao Chan dressed as a woman.
Fei Hong and Li Liang cupped their hands towards Zhang Banxian, and Fei Hong anxiously said: “Military Advisor, Dong Zhuo’s soldiers are searching the village every day, trying to move all the villagers to Chang’an. “We can’t stay in the village any longer. We’ve come to ask you what we can do.”
It turned out that ever since Zhang Banxian and the rest had rescued the Young Emperor and met with an interception in Hanoi, Zhang Banxian had arranged for them to stay in a village near the Luoyang, waiting for the right time to send them across the Yellow River. However, Dong Zhuo had tightly sealed up the Yellow River, giving them no chance to escape.
“These few days, I’ve been taking care of Xu Rong and these bamboo slips and spongy silk and have forgotten about you guys.” Zhang Banxian smiled embarrassedly, patted her head and said: “My current identity is Xu Rong’s doing, sending you guys away is not a difficult matter.”
“Then what are we waiting for? It would be better for us to leave as soon as possible. ” Fei Hong looked at Diao Chan and said anxiously, “Liang Ming and I are alright, but Young Emperor and Lady Diao Chan are indeed in danger. Especially Miss Diao Chan. With her beauty, she will stand out wherever you go. ”
“Sigh …” “I was also in a difficult situation …” In fact, the Zhang Banxian hadn’t forgotten about them, she just didn’t know what to do. If they really sent Young Emperor Liu Bian to Hanoi, how would the hussar general arrange the Young Emperor? Yang Lin would definitely not support him as an emperor, but if they killed him, it would be hard to bear. “It’s all my fault that I was inconsiderate at that time …”
“Not necessarily.” After working on the intelligence report for such a long time, Fei Hong finally had some sense of politics, “Now that the Duke of Guandong is against giving in to the Emperor and supporting the Young Emperor, they all agree to oppose Dong Zhuo. This shows that the Young Emperor Liu Bian is still useful.”
“Your words actually reminded me, since Young Emperor Liu Bian still has value, we might as well use it a little more.” A strange smile appeared on Zhang Banxian’s face as he said sinisterly, “I will arrange for you and Liang Ming to bring the Young Emperor out of the Tiger Prison immediately. Afterwards, you two will go to Nanyang and show yourselves at the appropriate time to let everyone know that the Young Emperor Liu Bian is in the Nanyang. However, the two of you must protect Young Emperor Liu Bian’s safety, and must not let him fall into other people’s hands. ”
“Understood, as long as the two of us are here, Young Emperor Liu Bian will be fine.” Fei Hong nodded confidently, turned his head to look at Diao Chan, and said awkwardly: “It’s just that Miss Diao Chan is having some difficulties, she is too beautiful, it’s inconvenient for us to bring her along.”
“Hehe …” You can leave Miss Diao Chan here and let her dress up as a soldier. In two days, I’ll send her to Hanoi. ” Zhang Banxian looked at Diao Chan, and could not help but shake her head. Such a beautiful girl could only stay by the side of experts.
“Military Advisor, what should we do?” Li Liang, who came with Fei Hong, saw that they were done talking, and hurriedly took up the conversation, “Dong Zhuo’s soldiers ordered us to move to the Chang’an. If we don’t go now, they will set our inn on fire.”
