Outside the city, Ma Yue slowly raised his right arm, and held a heavy thick-backed steel knife high above the top. A ray of sunlight shone through the clouds on the silver blade, and suddenly shone brightly in a dazzling cold.

“Hululu~~”

The heavy sniff of war horses sounded like a heavy sound, and thousands of horse hooves gently hit the ground, making a dull sound. Hundreds of sharp steel knives pierced the sky, and the sky began to permeate the bleak murderous intent. The bandits who had been waiting for for a long time were like more than 600 hungry wolves, revealing their white fangs.

...

"Ding~~"

Two Han soldiers stabbed a spear into Dian Wei's chest with their guts, but it seemed like they stabbed a hard stone, making a crisp sound. The spear stopped abruptly and could no longer move forward.

"Hmm!? Go and die~~"

Dian Wei turned around with heavy steps, and was angry by the two little men's robbery. With his loud roar, the iron halberd was swung and smashed hard on the top of the two little men's heads.

"Puff~"

"Puff~"

After two crisp sounds of shattering, the heads of the two Han army soldiers were shattered, and the red blood and white brains splashed with iron armor on Dian Wei's chest. A Han army soldiers witnessed such a bloody scene and could no longer help but the craze flooded in their stomachs. They even forgot to turn around and escape. They leaned on the ground and retching. Guan Hai took the lead two steps, and the iron arm stretched out and held the pawn's head and twisted it hard. With the sound of bone shattering, the pawn's retching sound stopped abruptly.

"Ye yell~~"

Dian Wei shouted and rushed into the Han army, like a tiger hitting a flock of sheep, the heavy iron halberd danced into two dark giant shields. The Han army blocked the halberd and fell down like wheat. Anyone who was swept by the iron halberd would either have his brain broken or his neck broke or his waist broke. No one could block Dian Wei's move.

"You can't do anything, withdraw, withdraw quickly~~"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Hao Meng finally ordered the withdrawal of troops. The Han soldiers, who had been scared, retreated like a tide and ran along the straight street that ran across the middle of Jia County towards the west gate.

"Aoao~~"

Dian Wei and Guan Hai howled two times, flashed to the city gate, and made way for the passage. The rumbling hooves fell from the sky like rolling thunder. Horses leaped and rode ahead. Zhou Cang held a big flag like a shadow and followed. Behind the big flag, six hundred cavalry bandits gathered into a surging iron stream, sweeping towards the Han army. On the streets of Jiaxian, wolf smoke rolled up...

...

The west wind is strong and the setting sun is slanting. A horse is far away, like a rushing wind and lightning, coming to Chenliu.

"Report~~Yingchuan urgently reported~~"

A shrill roar resounded inside and outside the city gate, and pedestrians dodged one after another. The knights rushed into the south gate of Chenliu like the wind and swept the broken clouds. The smoke and dust on the ground were shattered.

Chenliu Prefect Kong Yichang was discussing the opening of the warehouse to provide disaster relief and comfort refugees with the Chief Secretary Pan Xu. Suddenly, he was shocked by the rushing footsteps of the junior officials. He looked up in shock and saw the junior officials rushing into the lobby, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, shouting repeatedly: "Sir, Yingchuan urgently reported!"

Kong Yiqian stood up and flicked his sleeves. He asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

The subordinate of the disciple knelt down, held the bamboo slips high above the top, and replied: "Eight hundred bandits ravaged Yingchuan, and the prefect Chen Qian was killed in battle. The bandits joined Xiangcheng and Jiaxian. The bandits were in great power and were worried that they would be worried about resurrecting. The chief of Yingchuan Liu Fu, who has been in charge of 800 miles, rushed to report to the court and surrounding prefectures and counties. He begged the court and the county and the county to send troops to rescue quickly, and there is a chance that the change will occur."

Kong Qi frowned and reached out to take the bamboo slips from his subordinates, slowly unfolded, and read them with a glance. The chief secretary Pan Xu also stood up and approached to read them.

After reading it, Kong Yi handed the bamboo slips to Pan Xu, frowned and asked the minor official: "Where is the messenger?"

Xiao Shi said: "The messenger ran long distance and was exhausted. After reposting the news from Lord Liu Fu, he fainted and died on the ground. He is now in the clinic for treatment."

Kong Yichang asked again: "In addition to the imperial court and Chenliu County, where did Lord Liu ask for help from the surrounding prefectures and counties?"

The minor official replied: "Nanyang, Runan, and Chen countries all have messengers."

Chief Secretary Pan Xu said: "Sir, Yingchuan is close to Luoyang, and you must not fall into the hands of bandits. You should send troops to save them."

Kong Qiqiang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The bandits in Runan are not in trouble. I expected that there were no soldiers to send, and the elite soldiers of the court needed to guard the capital. The newly recruited eight lieutenants could not form an army, nor could there be no soldiers to send. The Chen State has few people and insufficient troops, so it is difficult to help. Only the Nanyang County Governor Yuan Shu has a wide range of soldiers. I wonder if he is willing to send troops?"

Pan Xu said: "Whether Yuan Shu sends troops or not, adults should raise troops to rescue him, otherwise, if Liu Fu takes the opportunity to report a book, Ju Yan will not save him when he dies, and he may be unfavorable for his career."

Kong Qicheng nodded and replied, "Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou have been settled, and the threat from the north has been eliminated. All the remaining soldiers in each county can be transferred back. Most of the newly recruited volunteer soldiers from each city can be mobilized, and about 5,000 people can be obtained. The commander Mao Jie can be the general, and quickly raise food, grass and supplies, and Keri leads his troops to Yingchuan. What do you think?"

Chief Secretary Pan Xu complimented: "My wise."

...

The night is as dark as ink.

A round of cold blood shines on the river, and a slight coldness of people appears on the surface of the river.

Zhang Liang (the third brother, general) stood tall on the bow of the boat, and his figure was about to be swept into the river by the wind and waves several times, and his ears were filled with the sound of stormy waves hitting the embankment.

Cheng Yuanzhi and Gao Sheng stood side by side behind Zhang Liang with a solemn expression.

Zhang Liang looked up at the sky and was stunned for a while at the cold moon. His confused expression gradually dissipated in his eyes, but instead he was a firm and resolute expression. His cold voice sounded in the surging waves: "Don't worry, two generals, you must be assured. Zhang Liang will definitely not jump into the river to commit suicide!"

Cheng Yuanzhi and Gao Sheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes. It seemed that the Third General had recovered his confidence! As long as the Third General was still alive, the Yellow Turban Army still had hope and everything was possible! Although the army of the Heavenly General was dispersed, thousands of Yellow Turban Men were not killed by the court. They just hid for a while, hiding in the deep mountains and marshes and rural villages. As long as the Third General climbed the high and shouted, they would gather under the banner of the General of the Manchus again, and the Yellow Turban Army could restore its former momentum again.

The bumpy boat finally landed on the shore. Zhang Liang stepped onto the south bank of the Yellow River. His firm voice sounded under the dark night sky: "Let's go to Nanyang and find Ma Yue and his eight hundred bandits."

A cold light flashed through Cheng Yuanzhi's eyes, and he cut off the throat of the ferry man with a knife. The blood was splattering. The sprinter grabbed his throat tightly and fell into the turbid Yellow River water like a sawn wood, and was instantly swept away by the surging waves.

Gao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Further forward is Jiyin, then from Jiyin to the east is Chenliu, and after passing Chenliu, it is Yingchuan, and Nanyang is not far away."

Zhang Liang nodded heavily and took big steps away. Soon, the figures of the three disappeared in the vast night, and only the sound of waves remained on the banks of the Yellow River. A small boat broke the cable and drifted further and further towards the center of the river. Finally, it was destroyed by the stormy waves. The poor orphan and widowed mother could not wait for their relatives who were late to return...

...

Nanyang, Luyang.

Jin Shang hurried into the inn with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, came to find Yuan Shu, and saw that Yuan Shu was discussing matters with Kuai Yue. His face changed and his steps were suffocated.

Yuan Shu raised his head and asked, "Why is Yuan Xiu in a hurry?"

Jin Shangying said: "General, Yingchuan County is 800 miles in a hurry to ask for help!"

Yuan Shu's expression moved and said in a deep voice: "There are eight hundred bandits again!?"

Jin Shang nodded with a serious expression and said, "That's right! In the battle of 800 bandits in Qingdangshan, the strange troops attacked and destroyed thousands of troops of Yingchuan Prefect Zhao Qian, and followed the trend to conquer Xiangcheng and Jiaxian two cities. Now the entire Yingchuan County is already in panic. The thief is in great power. If the situation cannot be controlled in time, the Yellow Turban Catastrophe is likely to reappear in Yingchuan."

Yuan Shu looked gloomy, but he thought coldly, what did Yingchuan catastrophe have to do with him? What he wanted was the chaos in Yingchuan, and the more chaotic the better. It would be better that eight hundred bandits could stir up the entire Yingchuan into a mess! At that time, Yuan Shu led his army into Yingchuan again. Wouldn't the local gentry and gentry regard him as the savior? He didn't even have to worry about buying people's hearts to get allegiance to these powerful classes.

He reached out to take the bamboo slips. Yuan Shu looked at it at a glance, threw it on the desk casually, and said calmly: "Liu Fu is exaggerating. Even if the eight hundred bandits make a fuss, they are only a thousand people. What's the matter? Hearing words, exaggerating words."

“Uh~~”

Jin Shang uttered, unable to guess Yuan Shu's thoughts for a while, so he didn't know how to take over the topic.

A strange look flashed across Kuai Yue's face, and he was already guessing that Yuan Shu was thinking. Kuai Yue thought that Yuan Shu was a little disgusted by nature, and only knew to expand his power and gather his wings, but he did not know that the people in the world were the foundation of the country. It seemed that he was so eager for quick success and instant benefits, and sacrificing the people as a means to achieve his goal is actually a fishing action in the dry pond.

If the heroes are replaced by the talented people, the heroes are of the capital in Nanyang. This will definitely not be the case.

Yuan Shu seemed to have noticed it. He turned his head but saw Kuai Yue's lips stammering twice, but in the end he didn't say anything. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did Yidu teach me?"

Kuai Yue shook his head, and the words he spit to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach.

Yuan Shu frowned and said to Jin Shang: "Yuan Xiu can speed up the raising of food and grass. Different levels need to speed up the training of new volunteer soldiers and prepare early. This general has failed to defend and protect well, which has implicated the general's father and died in the chaos. It is really unforgivable to return to Luoyang tomorrow and apologize to the general in person."

Jin Shang was more and more surprised and said, "This~~ General will set off to return to Luoyang tomorrow!?"

Jin Shang could guess Yuan Shu's ambitions, but he couldn't guess the intention of Yuan Shu's arrangement. He really couldn't understand! Yingchuan sent people to ask for help. At this time, it was legitimate to enter Yingchuan in the name of pacifying the 800 bandits. It can be won and the situation in Yingchuan before the collapse. It can be said that it can win both ways. Why not do it? If you keep the troops in motion and watch the situation in Yingchuan collapse, the 800 bandits are likely to lose control and turn into another Yellow Turban Catastrophe. At that time, even if Yuan Shu leads a large army into Ying, it may not be able to help.

Kuai Yue stood up and bowed to Yuan Shu, saying, "It's late at night, the general should be safe early, and Yue will say goodbye."

Yuan Shu said calmly: "Let's go slowly whenever you want to send me off."

Jin Shangran said: "Shang also said goodbye."

"Yuanxiu walked slowly, don't send him off."

Jin Shang left Yuanshu Inn, rushed to catch up with Kuai Yue, and shouted: "Brother Yidu, please stay. I still have a question. If you don't vomit, you won't be happy."

Kuai Yue frowned, stopped and asked, "What are your questions about Brother Yuanxiu?"

Jin Shang said: "Yingchuan is in crisis, and Liu Fu condemned the envoy for help, which is a great opportunity. How could the general abandon it and return to Luoyang? It is really a pity."

Kuai Yue despised himself, and he flattered the villain, so he asked coldly: "What is a good opportunity given by God? What is a sigh? The general is the general of the Hu Ben of the Han Dynasty. The elite troops led by him are also the Hu Ben of the Han Dynasty. Now there is no emperor's order or the general's Hu Tong, how can he move without any move? Don't you know?"

“This ~~”

Jin Shang was immediately suffocated and could not say a word.

Kuai Yue then ignored Jin Shang and turned around and left. After a long time, Jin Shang began to come to his senses. A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes, and he also turned around and left quickly.

That night, Kuai Liang's post house, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers sat on the ground and drank on the side of the case.

Kuai Yuezi sucked the wine in the cup with a sigh of regret and said, "Brother, I will return to my hometown soon and live in the grass to serve my parents."

Kuai Liang said in surprise: "Why is the second brother like this?"

Kuai Yue sighed and said, "Yuan Shu is cold-hearted by nature and treats the people like grass. This incompetent person is not enough to plan major issues."

Kuai Liang frowned and whispered: "Shut up my second brother to avoid disaster from coming from his mouth."

After saying that, Kuai Liang quickly got up and went outside the doors and windows. Seeing that no one was around, he carefully closed the doors and windows, sat back opposite Kuai Yue, and whispered: "Why is the second brother who made this statement?"

Kuai Yue said: "Eight hundred bandits ravaged Yingchuan, and Yingchuan prefect Zhao Qian died in a battle. The bandits defeated Xiangcheng and Jia County. The situation in Yingchuan was critical and the people were in danger of being overwhelmed. Yuan Shu ignored this and went to Luoyang to sue the general in person for the sake of the truth. He was very stubborn and watched, but it was actually a villain's intention."

Kuai Liang thought for a moment and advised: "The Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and the younger brother is prominent. The general comes from a wealthy family. Therefore, he only knows luxury and does not know what the sufferings of the people are. This is also expected. With my brother's opinion, after the experience is over and over, the general will definitely change. What does the second brother think?"
