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.”
