Chapter 83: Outbreak

Lei Yuan said he would rush back to the camp in the mountains with Zhao Yun immediately, but all the arrangements finally took a lot of time. By the time he finally set off, it was already late at night.

At this time, the wind and rain whistled by, wrapped in thick clouds from the sky to the top of their heads, and then connected with the continuous black mountain shadows in Tianzhu Mountain, like a huge dome, covering the entire world. The vision ahead became more and more blurred, and the soldiers walking in front lit pine torches one after another, and then were extinguished by the wind and rain. They had to use their robes to block the wind, protect the swaying torches, and at the same time slowed down their pace of progress.

Lei Yuan lowered his head and shook his body wide. Fan Hong walked in front of him, holding the reins for Lei Yuan in his hand, and looked back worriedly from time to time, worried that if he really fell asleep, he would fall from the horse and then roll down into the cliff.

In fact, Lei Yuan had indeed been confused several times, but he would wake up quickly every time. Sometimes he was awakened by the leaping of war horses across the stream, sometimes he was awakened by the shouts of war horses reminding the soldiers in front of him to be careful of walking, and once, he was actually awakened by the blood and smell of sweat all over his body. It was so uncomfortable that he felt his body was cold and hot. When it was cold, he was like being in an ice cave; when it was hot, he was sweating profusely and could not stop it.

When the sky is dark and the stars and moon are gone, even if there are torches, you can't see the way forward. However, the mountain wind is getting colder, and the strong wind swept across the rolling mountains and canyons, making ghostly whistlings. Sometimes it rushes down from a nearby gorge, making people unable to open their eyes.

A messenger came from the front and reported to Lei Yuan: "Mr. Lei Xiaolang, my general sent an order and rested there."

Lei Yuan nodded slightly.

He Song was responsible for commanding this team of people. He took the lead in dismounting, found a valley where he could barely shelter from the wind, and called the knights to gather here.

When Lei Xiu entered Lu'an, the elite troops of various powerful families gathered included hundreds of cavalry. Although there were many losses later, some of the war horses were preserved and sent to the platform where the drum beat was beaten in advance. Previously, He Song launched a short-distance cavalry attack on the platform and made great contributions in the process of defeating Zhang Liao.

At this time, a total of 500 soldiers who returned with Lei Yuan, of which more than 60 were riding horses, and some were allocated to Zhao Yun's troops. So the knights gathered together and tied the horses to the periphery with reins to block the wind. Some people immediately took leather bags to find water, and some people unloaded the hay transported from the horse camel to feed the horses.

Lei Yuan got off the horse and found a shelter and said to He Song: "This is already the southern foot of the mountain, not far from the camp. You can spread out all the effective people under your command, check the locations of the surrounding valleys and terraces overnight, and the subordinates in the camping place and the direction of the road. The faster the action, the better, but don't disclose our location. I will see the reward within an hour."

He Song took the order and left.

Lei Yuan turned to Fan Hong: "Let me rest for a while."

After a pause, he murmured again: "There should be a result tomorrow, everyone should cheer up."

"What?" Fan Hong didn't hear it clearly, and asked, but found that Lei Yuan was asleep.

Fan Hong pressed the hilt of the knife and stood beside Lei Yuan.

Guo Jing made a big stride in the former team and reached out to try Lei Yuan's forehead. He felt that the skin on the tentacles were hot, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Deng Tong limped towards him, and Ding Feng held Deng Tong and followed him.

Deng Tong asked in a low voice worriedly: "How is it?"

Guo Jing shook his head: "It's not good. I can only rest first and then look at the situation tomorrow."

Ding Feng said irritably: "Why should you work so hard for the little man? Cao's army has retreated, so how can there be any urgent matters?"

"There will definitely be something." Guo Jing sighed: "Have you forgotten what Ding Quchang said?"

Will some people in the mountains cause trouble within three to five days?

Deng Tong sneered, and supported the ground with a snail, allowing himself to sit down slowly.

"Anyway, we follow the arrangements of the young man..." He paused, and said, "No one should think about doing things randomly! Whoever dares to do things randomly, I..."

"Stop talking, take a break." Guo actually interrupted Deng Tong's words.

So the valley became quiet.

At this time, it was already the fourth day. Everyone had been traveling all night long, and they were too tired and fell asleep almost instantly.

It seemed that I had been sleeping heavily for a long time, but it seemed that it hadn't been long.

Someone shook Lei Yuan, which woke him up: "Little Langjun! Little Langjun"

Lei Yuan opened his eyes and saw that the wind and rain had stopped. The thick clouds in the west were still dense, and the deep black sky was integrated with the undulating mountains; but at the end of the clouds in the east, golden and white light was faintly revealed, as if a giant was waving his arms and slowly cutting the thick sky with a sharp blade.

"What's wrong?" he asked inexplicably.

Fan Hong said anxiously: "Little husband, listen! Listen!"

Lei Yuan supported his body from the haystack, and then he discovered that from behind the mountains and mountains, there were fighting sounds of camps distributed in the vast mountainous areas.

This is not a small-scale armed fight, but a large-scale attack, screams, roars, weapons collisions, and horse hooves flying one after another. As the mountain wind spreads in the night sky, it is like the sea tumbling under the darkness, about to roll up waves and submerge the camps one by one.

"Come with me!" Lei Yuan stood up and shouted.

He soon found a huge rock suitable for climbing on the side of the mountain path, and climbed up with his hands and feet. There, his vision was much wider, and he saw a shocking picture. Under the flames, there were at least ten camps... and there were more... behind the mountains... they were all involved in chaos, with weapons colliding, people shouting and neighing, and small black figures striking each other in the flames, fighting, like different ant colonies fighting wildly.

Just when the Cao army was approaching and countless people were trapped in the mountains; just when the loyal and brave soldiers sacrificed their lives to block the powerful enemy for the safety of their families, those who were in harmony with the people and claimed to lead the people out of danger started a war of war for their own interests, and involved tens of millions of ordinary people in the vortex of fighting.

"Grandma's! Grandma's!" Deng Tong cursed, not knowing who he was scolding.

Lei Yuan took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, and he calmed down. This situation was something Lei Yuan didn't want to see in his dreams, but since it had happened, he had to suppress his emotions and analyze it carefully to deal with it correctly, and then seek the benefits he deserved.

He said in a deep voice: "I ordered the entire army to prepare and be ready to fight at any time."

A entourage received an order and rushed down the giant rock.

He asked again: "Where is He Song?"

"He Song is here."

"I asked you to find out the situation, has it been done?"

He Song bowed and said, "I roughly understand, there are a few more places... I guess a sudden war has occurred, so my people are trapped there and I can't come back for a while."

"It doesn't matter." Lei Yuan chopped up a piece of floating soil under his feet: "You are here and draw down what you know."

"Yes!" He Song quickly asked someone to light a torch and took a piece of gravel to the ground to outline it.

"Suzhi! Where are you?" Zhao Yun's voice came from under the rock.

"General Zhao, I'm here." Lei Yuan said loudly.

Zhao Yun quickly climbed up to the giant rock and asked, "Xuzhi, do you know what's going on?"

"It was Chen Lan who took action." Lei Yuan replied calmly.

"How can I see it?"

Lei Yuan said: "For more than ten years, the Lei family in Lujiang has been the leader of Huainan, with a deep tree and a strong force. Therefore, Chen Lan had to completely disrupt the entire camp so that he could take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the chaos. If the Lei family in Lujiang took the initiative to suppress the rebellion, they would definitely use the method of beheading its leader, and the unrest would never spread and so on."

"So, can we have a way to deal with this situation?" Zhao Yun immediately asked.

Lei Yuan felt that Zhao Yun was a little anxious. For Zhao Yun, he had experienced a ten-fold battlefield, even the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army had been killed several times... So he must not be worried about his own safety, but about the fact that if the situation was out of control, tens of thousands of people in Huainan would disperse in the depths of the mountain, and Liu Yuzhou's plan would be empty.

In the situation where the Sun-Liu alliance resisted Cao, if Liu Yuzhou simply eviled Wu Hou but failed to gain actual gains, it would have been a very embarrassing thing. For Zhao Yun, it would also be an unpleasant failure.

Lei Yuan did not answer Zhao Yun's question and said instead: "General Zhao, I thought of something last night."

Zhao Yun was slightly stunned and then said, "What's the matter?"

"The total number of people in the mountains is about 40,000, of which the troops led by the Huainan masters account for more than 60%. During the process of passing the mountains, various families will continue to gather and absorb refugees. Therefore, even if these tens of thousands of people arrive in Jingzhou safely, they are afraid that there are very few registered household registrations controlled by Liu Yuzhou. Will Liu Yuzhou see such a scene? Or, is there any solution to this problem in Liu Yuzhou?"

Zhao Yun did not expect Lei Yuan to suddenly ask this irrelevant question. He thought about it and replied cautiously: "That's the future. You can always think of a way that everyone can accept, take it slowly and solve it slowly."

"The situation in the world is so turbulent, and heroes are heading together to seize the general trend. I am afraid that it will be too late to compete for the first step. How can I take it slowly?" Lei Yuan shook his head.

He turned around and looked directly at Zhao Yun and shouted: "I, Lei Xuzhi, are willing to solve this problem for Liu Yuzhou, so that Liu Yuzhou can obtain at least 20,000 yuan, and directly belong to the registered household registration of General Zuo's Mansion, but..."

Lei Yuan slowed down his speech, but Zhao Yun looked at Lei Yuan deeply and did not respond. So Lei Yuan continued, "But, please give me a little favor to my Lujiang Lei family. What? Of course, it doesn't have to be as lenient as Dongwu. As long as you can imitate Li Dian, Xu Chu and others under Cao Gong, it's enough."

Zhao Yun shook his head and said cautiously: "I cannot make decisions on behalf of my lord such a major matter."

Lei Yuan chuckled a few times: "The Huainan Haoyou people value their own subordinates and will inevitably turn to Wu Hou and will not be willing to join Liu Yuzhou's command. Liu Yuzhou wants to use your courage to win the recognition of us martial artists, so that the warriors can realize the sincerity of Liu Yuzhou, and thus force various clans. That's why General Zhao came here without hesitation. You are the envoy of Liu Yuzhou, and Jian Xianhe is just a cover. I think General Zhao has the right to agree to my small request."

"I probably know what Xuzhi you want to do, and I firmly believe that you can do it." Zhao Yun slightly closed his eyebrows: "But Xuzhi thought that he could use such tricks to coerce me?"

"It's not a coercion, it's just a plea." Lei Yuan laughed and said, "No matter what, the Lei family in Lujiang will follow General Zhao to Jingzhou and will never break their promises. However, I am not a sage and it's hard to abandon my family and business; so at this moment, I beg General Zhao to be a little more considerate."

Zhao Yun stared at Lei Yuan deeply, and Lei Yuan also faced him calmly. What he said just now was Lei Yuan’s real thoughts and his real demand. Even when facing Xuande Gong himself, Lei Yuan would say this, and there was nothing to hide.

After a while, Zhao Yun smiled: "It's not that Jingzhou has a strong clan. If you continue, your worries are unnecessary. Do what you should do well. If you do everything else, Xuande Gong will naturally consider it carefully and will never compromise the loyal ministers and righteous men."

This is enough.

Lei Yuan stopped talking and bowed deeply to Zhao Yun.
