Chapter 496 (1/2)
”Why hasn't Ji Ling come back yet?”
Yuan Shu sat on the carriage and asked impatiently.
”Your Majesty, maybe there are a lot of enemy troops. General Ji Ling is a senior general of our army. It is estimated that he will be back soon.” Yang Hong comforted.
Just at this time, a flying horse came and called out: ”Your Majesty, general Ji urgent report!”
Without waiting for Yuan Shu's command, Yang Hong directly welcomed him and stopped him.
”General Ji sent you back. What's the matter?” Yang Hong asked.
”Yang Changshi, your majesty!” The sentry ran back and forth, quite tired. A drop of sweat ran to the tip of his nose. He took a breath and said, ”general Ji led his army to pursue the XiaHouYuan army, and led the army to fight against it. Unexpectedly, Cao thief was prepared for it. Suddenly, he led the army to kill when the two armies were at war. Now general Ji has fallen into a bitter battle.”
”What?” Yang Hong was startled. He quickly took the hand of the sentry and said in a low voice, ”can someone send someone to rescue general Ji?” Although Yang Hong envied the virtuous and framed Yan Xiang many times, he was now at the critical moment of life and death, and Ji Ling was the only general in Yuan Shu's army. If he lost Ji Ling, it would be hard to say in the future.
”General Ji said that his majesty and others should go first, and later the two armies will take turns together in Lujiang County.”
He nodded and waved his hand. Yuan Shu saw Yang Hong and his wife whispering in the carriage. He was impatient and said, ”Yang Changshi, what did general Ji say to you? Tell me what you said.”
”Your Majesty.” Yang Hong drove his horse to the carriage: ”general Ji is now fighting with Cao's army. After his Majesty's death, please go first. When Lujiang County is over, general Ji will join us.”
Yuan Shu nodded and worried: ”well, since general Ji said so, I will go ahead.”
”Your Majesty need not worry.” Even though Cao Hongji's army was not able to win the battle with the general, he could not persuade him to retreat
”Well.” Yuan Shu nodded and waved to signal the motorcade to move forward.
”The whole army march forward, hurry to Lujiang County, quick!” Prince Yuan Yao ordered.
At the urging of Yuan's soldiers, the motorcade began to move slowly and reluctantly, but the speed was not high, and Yuan Shu had nothing to do with it. He just drank the honey from Shouchun city and chatted to relieve his fatigue.
The motorcade was less than ten miles away. Hula was standing on both sides of the road. Two rows of soldiers stood up, and a Cao military flag was suddenly inserted in the middle of the road.
The cars and horses in the front row were startled and stopped in a hurry. Yuan Shu could not take care of the honey water in his hands, but just looked at it.
”Hey, hey
Cao Hong stood in the middle of the road with a big knife on his shoulder and his whole body covered. Hundreds of soldiers were surrounded by him. There were more soldiers standing on both sides of the road, looking at the motorcade in front of him.
”Kill the puppet emperor Yuan Shu and seize the enemy's supplies and equipment!” Cao Hong raised a big sword in his hand and let out a big drink. The 5000 Cao troops under his command roared one after another. His eyes were shining and they killed them.
At that time, Cao Cao conquered millions of yellow turban thieves in Qingzhou and formed the basis of his own army, that is, the Qingzhou army. This time, Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Huainan, and most of them were Qingzhou soldiers.
Qingzhou soldiers were originally yellow turban thieves. They had been bandits for years. They were greedy by nature. When they saw the grain, grass, gold, silver, and silk piled up on the huge convoy of Yuan Jun, they were greedy for a long time. After hearing Cao Hong's order, they could not hold back, and immediately killed them as if they were tigers descending the mountain.
