Chapter 0230 Night Raid

At noon on the third day, Uncle and the county thief Cao Du Fan arrived.

Du Fan remained silent, carefully scrutinizing Ye Qing and the seventeen others. With a flash of his gaze, he recognized a few of them.

Uncle Liu Yuan took a step forward and ordered someone to open a wooden box, and a flash of knives flashed out, all of which were official style long knives.

Liu Yuanqi said, "Bei Er, since you want to do this big thing, how can you not have the weapons to handle them? Take these knives with you

Du Fan's face was a bit gloomy, with a hint of solemnity. He was a small official in charge of the bandits, and when he spoke in a low voice, he said, "I have reported to the county magistrate that you should go to suppress the bandits in the name of the county

These knives are all temporarily lent to you, please don't let them break down

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's heart was stirred with both surprise and joy. Thief Cao Du Fan's move was also a risk, but once it was accomplished, his achievements could be taken for himself.

But even so, in order to promote this matter, Uncle Liu Yuanqi may have mortgaged all of his family property, even his life.

Of course, the biggest benefit for Liu Bei is that he has an official name and will not be liquidated afterwards. Even if he is not officially rewarded, he still has the status of a tycoon.

As soon as Du Fan finished speaking, he didn't say much and waved his sleeve to leave. Uncle Liu Yuanqi quickly chased after them outside the door, watching their backs go away. Ye Qing smiled and ordered, "Take a knife

With the knife in hand, two people entered the door. Ye Qing saw that one had a Chinese face, a red face, and a long beard, with a dignified appearance, while the other was not a black face with messy beard, with a strong body but very clean.

Brother Zhang, Brother Guan, please come in! "Ye Qing greeted him and laughed," Are you here today to work together

In the Han Dynasty, the culture of wandering knights was very prosperous. These knights were not afraid of laws and regulations, and if they were in love with each other, they would agree on their lives. However, if they didn't agree, they would draw their swords and fight each other, emphasizing the principle of "respecting qi and taking life lightly"!

This reminded Ye Qing that in the future, the underworld will all worship "Guan Gong". Could it be that this divinity originated from the Han Dynasty culture?

Just as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked around, they saw seventeen strong men, each holding a long sword and carrying a murderous aura. Both of them looked strange and thought to themselves, "Although I made friends with this guy a few days ago, they were also quite ordinary. I don't want to see that they haven't seen each other for a few days, and now they have such momentum. Is it true that the local legend is true? Can Liu Bei really accomplish great things

I laughed heartily and said, 'Brother Liu, how could we not come to do this great thing?'

It's truly the style of a ranger, making a decisive decision with just one word.

Ye Qing secretly looked up and saw a white cloud above Zhang Fei's head, slightly tinged with a hint of red. This was because Zhang Fei's family was a wealthy landlord.

Seeing a faint white aura on top of Guan Yu's head and a gray cloud, this is a violation of the law.

At this moment, both of them had a surge of red energy reaching them.

I used to have a few strands of white qi and a strand of gray qi. After creating hype, there were constantly strands of white qi surging through me, as well as strands of gray qi. Although it was faintly visible, it was somewhat unstable, indicating that someone was jealous.

But now when the second wave of red qi arrives, the qi immediately rolls and stabilizes, condensing into a half red and half white color.

Someone may be surprised, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu themselves are just white. Why do they have these two streams of red energy?

This is quite simple. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's talents cannot be used for themselves, but they can be used for others, so they have a red aura.

Seeing this, Ye Qing heard the promise again and applauded with laughter, saying, "Good, two great things have been accomplished

Immediately order to cook and eat meat, then go rest.

At dusk, a dull thunder woke Ye Qing up. He sat up and looked around, realizing it was dusk. At this moment, a bright flash illuminated the inside and outside, making everything white!

Ye Qing hurriedly walked out of the room, and a gust of wind hit her face. It was cool and rainy, and she looked up at the sky. Lightning flashed through the clouds from time to time. Without hesitation, she ordered, "Put on your old clothes, call someone immediately, and follow me

At this moment, the heavy rain has fallen, but there is no need to call for anyone. A large number of people are well-trained and immediately rushed out. Ye Qing gave orders: "Everyone put on old clothes, five or five people, bring dry food, and make no mistakes

Yes

Ye Qing pondered and ordered, "Brother Zhang and Brother Guan, please accompany us

Okay! "This order was forbidden, causing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to change color involuntarily at this moment.

Ye Qing stopped talking and stood up to walk. A large group of people criticized their shabby clothes and walked straight out of the garden, immediately setting off. As they watched the group leave, Liu's mother leaned against the door, tears streaming down her face.

As Ye Qing and his group walked out, they saw the rustling sound of Lin Ye not far away, and someone shouted, "Who

It's me, "Ji Caizhu's voice echoed, and his figure appeared amidst the bamboo leaves. He bowed to Ye Qing and said," I, Ji Caizhu, pay my respects to the lord

Master! "Upon hearing this formal address, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other but remained silent.

Ye Qing calmed down and let out a breath, "It's good that Mr. Ji has arrived. If we take him down, we may even need you to count the goods and register them

Ji Caizhu nodded in agreement, understood in his heart, and thought to himself that while summoning someone, he must find a way to contact his mistress before running out.

Ye Qing drank and said, "Everyone, follow me

The entire team quickly took action.

A scout in Jixian County, Guangping Commandery, a hundred miles away, where the capital of Youzhou is located, opened the thick city gate. In the rain, countless good dreams were shattered by horse hooves, and like a sudden rain, they passed through the straight long street and arrived at the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

It is wrong to call Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The governor of a certain state is actually the governor of a certain state, and Liu Yan was the governor of Jizhou. He eventually took control of Shu and was promoted to the governor of Yizhou. He was Liu Zhang's father... The governor of Youzhou was Guo Xun, who died in office and was killed by the Yellow Turban. Zou Jing took over and also died in battle while in office.

At this moment, a report sounded inside the state capital: "Thief general Cheng Yuanzhi has led 50000 troops to invade Zhuo County. Governor Wen Shu has sent me to seek help

In the magnificent official hall, there was a crisp sound of "pa", and the governor Guo Xun accidentally dropped the wine glass, shattering it into pieces. However, he was completely unaware and only stared at the scout, saying, "Fifty thousand

Yes

Waving to let him down, Guo Xun paced alone in the hall. He had seen battles before and knew that there was probably some moisture involved, but judging by the number of soldiers, it was a basic skill for scouts. Even if they carried refugees, there were still 10000 soldiers to fight.

The problem is that there are only 5000 standing troops now, of which 3000 are guarding against Wuhuan and Xianbei at the border, 1000 are in various counties, and we only have 1000 in Jixian... What kind of support can we provide? "Guo Xun smiled bitterly and immediately shouted," Send the Prefect Liu Wei and the Colonel Zou Jing over

The residence of Colonel Zou Jing is nearby, and he was summoned shortly after. Upon hearing this intelligence, he quickly said, "There are many bandits and our troops are few. It is advisable for Duke Ming to quickly recruit troops to respond to the enemy

This is a great kindness, "Guo Xun nodded. In fact, this was also what he meant in his heart. However, military affairs must follow this procedure, and the court system is in place. The governor cannot ignore the power of his deputy.

After reaching a consensus, he immediately took a piece of paper with a recruitment notice for righteous soldiers and presented it to his subordinate officials, saying, "Copy this document and pass it on to govern sixty-nine counties

Youzhou has ten commanderies under its jurisdiction, as well as Yan and Liaodong vassal states. Its registered population alone is 2.5 million, which is equivalent to some small European countries in later times, not to mention the hidden and unreported population of local aristocrats. Mobilization is a huge force.

Zou Jing sighed and said, "There are no worries in my state

It's too early to say that, "Guo Xun shook his head and sighed anxiously." After this autumn harvest, there's no food in the state now, and we won't be able to support many battles

I am willing to offer 200 stones of grain

Ah, if the Colonel has such a loyal and patriotic heart, I will accept it on behalf of the court, "Guo Xun immediately smiled.

This is the duty of an official

Zou Jing took his leave and passed by Liu Wei, the prefect of Guangping County, nodding and greeting each other. He got on the Zou family carriage alone and casually asked his confidant, "How much grain do we have at home

Three hoarding

Zou Jing nodded and ordered, "Increase the purchase of grain, and the price of grain sold can be even higher

Yes

The carriage rolled across the street, disturbing Good Dream again.

At this moment, Ye Qing and his group arrived at their destination. Each person broke a branch and bit it in their mouth before heading towards the valley camp in the dark.

There is no moon in the night sky, many stars twinkle, and it is barely visible as remote and undulating mountains and tombs rise. There are no high mountains here, only small hills like this, or layers of yellow soil that will be washed away by the Yellow River many years later. However, at this time, the Yellow River has not yet changed course and passes through here, and there is still a faint red light in a small hill.

The early autumn evening breeze whimpered past, as if the banquet had not yet ended. Approaching, the bonfire was burning fiercely, and under the red light, there were dozens of rudimentary tents, but only a dozen or so people gathered... the number was incorrect.

Ye Qing frowned and explored.

The bandit leader Baiqu came from a border soldier background and became a bandit in the mountains. He was constantly attacked by the government, forming a pattern of being ready to move at all times. Although the temporary camp was rudimentary and somewhat organized, it seemed to have relaxed its vigilance tonight. Only two sentries envied the gathering inside, and the noisy and enthusiastic voices could be heard from inside: "I heard that General Cheng has already captured Huxian County and is standing across the constant water from the official army. He will soon break through Yicheng

Big Brother Bai, if you go to invest in General Cheng here, your future will be bright

Brothers, it's too early to say. Big Brother Bai has given orders, and we are still in the territory of Youzhou. Please alert the government

Big Brother Bai is overthinking. The government doesn't have any time to control us. It's good not to shrink back

Don't talk nonsense, this is an old camp. Your family is all here. Keep an eye on it and wait for Big Brother Bai to bring people back

Ye Qing smiled and thought to herself that this was really a blessing from heaven, so she ordered, "Kill these two

Yes! "Zhou Feng and Zhang Fangbiao responded, one from Gongmen and the other from the patrol cavalry camp, both proficient in this.

At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not yet generals, and they both stared at each other.

I saw two figures touch up and suddenly skewer out like venomous snakes. The dagger slashed around the necks of the two sentries, and everyone heard a soft thud and couldn't help but tremble.

Gradually, a faint smell of blood came over.

The two sentries at the mouth of the valley collapsed softly, making a rustling sound. They quickly stood up again, lowered their heads, and headed inside. Ye Qing waved his hand and said, "Follow

Someone saw something strange, and at this time, the bandits were not strict with the rules. They only came in to ask for a bowl of drinks and turned a blind eye.

Until the bonfire, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and a leader felt a chill on his body. His drunkenness cleared up a bit, and he turned to see these two sentries. He immediately angrily rebuked them with his sword, saying, "If you can't go back and guard, come running

Yes, yes, "the sentry responded vaguely, taking two more steps closer before lifting his head and unleashing a murderous aura

Ah! "Roared the sound of drawing a sword.
