"You came from Luoyang, are you He Xian, the steward of He House?"
Ma Yue stared at Yuan Jue like a wolf, his sharp eyes wanted to pierce the man.
Yuan Shu's heart flinched and he calmly answered, "Exactly."
Behind Yuan Shu, Sun Jian's face was sunken, but his chest was stirring with blood, the scene of the vicious battle at White Dragon Beach suddenly reappeared before his eyes, Zhu Jun's grave words rang in his ears again: Gentlemen, remember this man, this person is not removed, one day will become the heart of my Han court big trouble!
Sun Jian's right hand quietly touched the hilt of his waist sword, as long as he stepped forward to cut off Ma Yue's head, the 800 stragglers would be scattered after losing their leader, and the Great Han Dynasty would be rid of the heart of the problem! When Sun Jian was about to draw his sword with his backhand, his eyes suddenly glanced at a person standing behind Ma Yue, but it was the big man who had led them to Wancheng, who was staring at him with icy eyes, and his right hand was also gripping the hilt of his waist sword.
Sun Jian's gaze was awe-inspiring, so he did not dare to move lightly.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Sun Jian was about to answer, but Yuan Shu had already grabbed it and said, "This He Jian is the general of He's family."
"He Jian?" Ma Yue frowned and said, "Well, where are the horses?"
Yuan Shu said, "The horses are in Luyang, but we need to see the face of the old master before we can agree on the details of the exchange."
Ma Yue coldly related, and said to Pei Yuan Shao beside him, "Old Fei, invite Old Master He to come."
"As you command."
Pei Yuan Shao roared and went to follow the order.
In a short time, He Zhen came to the hall with two bandits holding him hostage. Yuan Jie is the second son of Yuan Feng, and the Yuan family has a long history of friendship with the He family. So after seeing Yuan Jie, He Zhen was obviously stunned and said, "Xian ......"
The word "nephew" did not wait for He Zhen to say, Yuan Jue already preemptively said, "Old Taiji, it is Ah Xian."
He Zhen old man, err immediately changed his mouth, "Ah Xian, how come you are here?"
Yuan Shu said respectfully, "By order of the lord, I have come to redeem the old dowager."
Ma Yue waved his hand and let the stragglers escort He Zhen down again, and said coldly, "You have already seen him, tell me, how can we exchange?"
Yuan Shu said, "First release the man, then drive the horse!"
Ma Yue said, "Joke, why should I trust you? First drive the horse, then release the man!"
Yuan Shu said, "This is difficult, the number of horses is huge, so we cannot exchange them in front of the battlefield, what can we do?"
Ma Yue said, "My leader Zhou Cang is still in your hands, so we can exchange before the battle."
Yuan Shu said, "Zhou Cang is only a small leader, how can he be compared with the old master?"
Ma Yue said coldly, "Although Zhou Cang is a small leader, he is my brother in life and death, there is no reason to give him up! If you believe me, drive the army and horses to Wancheng in exchange within three days, if not, come to collect his corpse after three days!"
Yuan Shu said, "Okay, the time will be three days later at noon, but the exchange place should be changed to Pheasant County between Wancheng and Luyang, I will first drive the army and horses out of the city and deliver them to you, then the two armies will exchange hostages in front of the battlefield, and the captured officials of Nanyang should also be released, how about it?"
Ma Yue said, "It's a deal!"
Yuan Shu said, "It's a deal!"
Both of them high-fived and swore.
Yuan Shu arched his hand and said in a loud voice, "Farewell."
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Ma Yue coldly said, "I won't see you off."
After seeing Yuan Shu and his party leave, Ma Yue began to say in a deep voice: "Guan Hai!"
Guan Hai said morosely, "Yes."
"If He Xian wants to play tricks, he must first contact Huang Zhong and others in Echinoyang counties, send more spies to keep a close eye on the Nanyang soldiers in Echinoyang counties, and report back immediately if there is any movement."
"Yes, sir!"
"Mao San, Niu Si!"
"Yes."
"Immediately lead 50 men to lurk outside Pheasant County, closely monitor the movement inside the city, if there is no army entering the city within three days, or if you find a large group of government troops entering Pheasant County, report immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
"Pei Yuan Shao."
"Yes!"
"Supervise the craftsmen of the blacksmith store and carpenter store to make horseshoes and stirrups without delay!"
"Yes, sir!"
Guan Hai and other people have led the order and went away, Ma Yue low hey a long body and rose, heart excited, military horses! I didn't expect that He Jin still yielded, and really exchanged military horses for He Zhen, it seems that the ancients really value their reputation, ah, there is an opportunity to capture He Zhen again, and then squeeze some oil from He Jin, hehehe!
At this time, Ma Yue did not know that his feat of capturing Wancheng with only 800 stragglers and his evil deed of blackmailing the general of the dynasty had been known all over the world, and even the Han Ling Emperor was shocked and appointed Yuan Jue as Huben Zhonglang General, leading the governor of Nanyang and leading 5,000 elite Han troops out of Nanyang to crush him.
A vast net of 2,000 horses was being drawn up to trap Ma Yue and his 800 stragglers, but due to the lack of intelligence, Ma Yue knew nothing about it and was still dreaming of cavalry across the Central Plains! Just like this, a thousand-strong iron cavalry is galloping across the flowery world of the Central Plains, and where the iron cavalry passes, wolf smoke rises.
......
Wancheng north gate, a long, thin, ragged, dirt-faced beggar column crutches, limping towards the open city gate, beggar came to the gate, the hands of the dirty broken bowl to the gate guards, begging: "military master please, I have not eaten for a few days, give some food."
"Go go go." That the stragglers kicked the beggar over on the ground, impatiently roared, "into the city, there are righteousness in the city, go all the way to the front, and is an idle meal, really."
The beggar struggled to get up from the ground, thanks a lot to go, until walking out far, originally has been squinting eyes began to open wide, flowing and beggar never proportional to the bright clarity, muttered: "Ma Yue even a beggar can be kind, I think also can be kind to the sisters in the dust, only I do not know whether the eight hundred stragglers have the official army residence report said that the brave and warlike, when The "I'm not sure if the eight hundred bandits are as brave and good at fighting as the official army report says.
......
In Luyang, the official army camp, Yuan Shu returned from Wancheng and immediately beat the drums and called the generals.
The three drums were finished, and all the generals and officials of Lu Yang had already gathered in Yuan Shu's camp.
Yuan Shu scanned the week with awe and said loudly: "This trip to Wancheng, although dangerous but also rewarding, the 800 stragglers, I already know all the details, break the bandits in three days, Jin Shang listen to the order!
Jin Shang stepped forward to stand in the account and said aloud, "Yes."
Yuan Shu said, "Take the post of prime minister of Nanyang County, lead 200 Lu Yang soldiers to drive the army and horses into Pheasant County, and feed the army and horses with ba-dou at the hour in three days, without fail."
Jin Shang clasped his fist and said, "As ordered."
"Sun Jian, listen to the order!"
Sun Jian stepped forward and said haughtily, "Yes."
"Lead four generals, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai, with 1000 troops, to ambush 20 miles west of Pheasant County, and lead them to the southeast to cover up as soon as the noon hour is over."
"Yes, sir!"
"Zhang Xun, listen to the order!"
"Yes."
"Lead 1,000 troops, ambush 20 miles east of Pheasant County, and lead them to the southwest to cover up as soon as the noon hour passes."
"As ordered."
"Yuan Yin, listen to the order."
"Yes."
"Lead 1,000 cavalry, ambush 30 miles north of Pheasant County, and lead the army to the south to cover up once noon has passed."
"As ordered."
"The rest of the generals, each of them should take charge of their own headquarters and sit at the camp with my general."
Yuan Jue's assignments were all convinced, but only Jin Shang frowned and thought for a moment, but finally could not help but remind, "General, Shang has a word I do not know whether to say?"
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "There is no harm in saying it."
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Yuan Shu eyes floated a strange smile, said: "Pheasant Yang battle, the purpose of only two, one, to save the old master, the second, to retrieve 2000 horses, as for the destruction of 800 bandits, restoration of Wancheng, the time is not yet ripe, allow later discussion."
Jin Shang was silent, although he did not understand but no longer said anything.
Yuan Shu's eyes swept through a trace of awe.
In fact, Jin Shang is right, three days later Pheasant County to offer horses, exchange hostages, Ma Yue still do not know that Yuan Shu has rate 5,000 elite official army to Nanyang, will certainly come personally, if this time condemned Yuan Yin cavalry to cut off Ma Yue's return, then Yuan Shu led the army from the north, Sun Jian from the west, Zhang Xun from the east, surrounded by four sides, then Ma Yue and his 800 stragglers ten dead.
However, Yuan Shu does not intend to do so, because he still has a better and more brilliant trick!
