The leader of the group was a plain-looking man in his early thirties, and it was obvious at first glance that he was just a messenger carrying a message and could not make any decisions.
Cao Jie was a little disappointed, "Are you Sun Liang's subordinate?"
The man held his hands respectfully and said, "That's right, I've met Mr. Cao."
Cao Jie chuckled, stepped aside to let Wu Yi, who was behind him, ask: "Then do you know who he is?"
When the man saw Wu Yi, he was stunned for a moment before quickly lowering his head and saying, "General Wu."
Cao Jie looked at Wu Yi, who shook his head and said, "What are you doing under Sun Liang?"
The man said: "Back to General Wu, young Sun Hu was originally the captain of the team under General Sun, and was recently promoted to the rank of captain in front of the general account."
"From captain to captain? You were promoted quickly enough." Cao Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you related to Sun Liang?"
Sun Hu had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "I'm lucky enough to live in the same hometown as General Sun. Mr. Cao Mingjian, before... the Gaoyu people used us as cannon fodder and pushed us to the front to die. If a few generals hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I'm afraid the whole army would have been annihilated. Although.
They escaped but also lost a lot of troops and horses. Fortunately, the general gathered a lot of troops and horses along the way, and now the troops are strong. The young man was promoted by the general because he was an old man under his command and had studied for a few days.
"
"So, Sun Liang really has 50,000 troops under his command now?" Cao Jie said.
As for how these 50,000 soldiers and horses came from, it's just up to everyone to see through it. It's not like the Cao family has never done that kind of thing.
Sun Hu said respectfully: "How dare you deceive Mr. Cao? It's just that our army is being chased by the Zhenguo Army and has no fixed place to stay. Seeing that food and grass are getting scarce... Please take care of Mr. Cao. We are willing to serve you."
Cao Jie thought for a moment and said, "Where is your General Sun now?"
After hearing what he meant, Sun Hu was overjoyed and said: "General Sun is now stationed in Piao County, sixty miles away from here."
The Cao family said: "General Sun is willing to join the Cao family, and I will naturally welcome him. Go back and tell him that if he sincerely joins the Cao family, I will grant him the position of general and the ability to lead the army independently. In addition, I will give him ten thousand yuan in gold."
Two, as a meeting gift."
Seeing the joy and greed in his eyes, Cao Jie felt a little disdainful, but his face was still gentle and he continued: "But..."
Sun Hu said eagerly: "Young Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Cao Jie said: "You must let me meet General Sun, right? Tomorrow evening, I will ask General Sun to talk to you."
Sun Hu hesitated a little, obviously not at ease.
What if General Sun comes and the Cao family does something evil?
Cao Jie said proudly: "Don't worry, I have big things to do now. As long as Sun Liang truly submits, I will never treat him badly. I won't have the leisure to steal his soldiers and horses."
Sun Hu chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "I will tell General Sun, but he doesn't agree..."
"You can just go back and report it," Cao Jie said.
Cao Jie had already anticipated the situation of those Yanzhou troops. It would be easy to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, but the food and grass to support tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would not be so easy to obtain.
Sun Hu nodded in agreement. He wanted to leave but couldn't help but glance at Wu Yi, who was sitting next to him without saying a word.
Wu Yi looked up at him and said calmly: "Since I have left the Yanzhou Army, I have no intention of going back. You can tell Sun Liang this."
"Yes, yes." Sun Hu said yes repeatedly before leaving with Cao Jie.
Watching him go out, Cao Jie turned around and asked, "Can this man's words be trusted?"
Wu Yidao: "It is indeed a member of the Yanzhou Army. There is no flaw. As for whether it is trustworthy or not, it is empty talk. The eldest son will find out if he sends someone to investigate."
Cao Jie smiled and said: "Of course I will send people to investigate, but...don't you think it's a pity that General Wu gave up the Yanzhou Army like this?"
Wu Yi said calmly: "There is no pity, everyone has his own ambitions."
Cao Jie raised his teacup to Wu Yi and said, "I admire the general's righteousness. Please rest assured, general, as long as my father comes back safely, the Cao family will never treat the general badly."
Wu Yi nodded silently and picked up the tea cup in return.
Sun Hu left the Cao family's tent and hurried all the way back to Piao County, which was sixty miles away.
The Yanzhou Army is currently stationed in the southern suburbs of Piao County, and some troops are stationed in the city.
After entering the city, he went directly to the county government office in the city. The current county government office had obviously changed hands, and there were several people sitting in the study waiting for his return.
"Princess Qi, Sun Hu is back."
"Let him in."
"My subordinates, please pay homage to the princess, and please pay homage to General Gu!"
Luo Junyao was sitting on the main seat in the study. The person sitting next to him was Gu Jue, and the person sitting opposite Gu Jue was Sun Liang, who looked ashen. Sun Hu, however, only saluted Luo Junyao and Gu Jue, and kept saying nothing to him before.
"General Sun" turned a blind eye.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Without courtesy, get up."
Sun Hu thanked him and stood up, only to hear Luo Junyao ask: "What did Cao Jie say?"
Sun Hu said: "Back to the princess, Cao Jie said that he wants to meet with General Sun tomorrow afternoon. In addition... Wu Yi is in Cao Jie's army."
Luo Junyao and Gu Jue looked at each other. If Wu Yi was by Cao Jie's side, it would be a bit difficult.
Wu Yi is definitely much more familiar with these Yanzhou troops than they are, and he will see the flaws if he is not careful.
"Why did Wu Yi go to Cao Jie? Didn't he say he was in the Bingzhou area?" Luo Junyao said with a frown.
Gu Jue touched his chin and said: "Qingzhou borders Bingzhou and is not far from Yannan. It is not surprising that Wu Yi ran to Cao Jie's army. It was probably for Cao Mian."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "Wu Yi is so loyal to Cao Mian? But, does Cao Jie really want Cao Mian to go back?"
Gu Jue said: "The situation is not good for the Cao family now. Cao Jie may really want Cao Mian to go back."
Cao Jie clearly cannot fully control the current situation. Otherwise, why would he, the eldest son of the Cao family, personally lead troops to attack Yannan if he was not in Qingzhou?
Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a while before asking, "When will Qin Yao'er and Xie Xiao arrive?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Jue smiled and said: "Prince Xie encountered a little trouble in Qingzhou, but with the help of Yao'er, the problem is not big. He should arrive in the next few days. Princess
Why do we need them?" Do you need Qin Yao'er or Xie Xiao?
Luo Junyao rolled her eyes slightly, showing a bit of slyness. She raised her head and told Duiying standing aside: "Send someone to send a message to Cao Jie. If you want to meet, you can meet. The location is set in three days. According to this, Tingyun, who is thirty miles away,
Mountain."
Gu Jue reminded: "Princess, He Ruomudi will be here in three days. If we meet him then, I'm afraid it won't look good."
Ruoheruomuti only knew that they were the fleeing Yanzhou Army, but it would be really ugly if he found out that there were a large number of Zhenguo Army mixed in with them.
Luo Junyao said: "Are you really planning to sneak into the Cao family? We originally planned to do one thing and run away. What's the difference whether it's just the Cao family or He Ruomudi together?"
Gu Jue was stunned and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
The acting was so realistic that he really forgot about it.
No matter how flawless they were, there was no way they could really sneak into the Cao family.
"What do you mean, princess?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "According to Ayan's wishes before, kill Heruomuti."
Gu Jue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but what if Cao Jie disagrees?"
"Then tell him that if he doesn't agree, we will turn around and go north and surrender to the Zhenguo Army." Luo Junyao said.
After the two of them finished their discussion, they looked at Sun Liang sitting aside.
Sun Liang has suffered a lot these days when he fell into the hands of the Zhenguo Army. If he hadn't been useful, according to the Zhenguo Army's usual attitude towards traitors, he would have been killed by now.
Seeing Luo Junyao's eyes sweeping over, Sun Liang shuddered on the spot, "Princess, please give me your instructions."
Over the past few days, what he feared most was not the general Gu Jue, nor the other members of the Zhenguo Army, but the regent princess who seemed very kind.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "General, please write another letter to the Cao family, and by the way, also write one to Wu Yi. How to write it without arousing suspicion, you don't need me to teach you, right?"
Sun Liang nodded repeatedly and said: "Princess, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely try their best to make the merits out of their faults!"
"It's good to have this consciousness." Luo Junyao nodded with satisfaction and said: "If you can help us succeed this time, it would be best to kill Wu Yi. What you did before..."
"Yes! I understand, little one!" Sun Liang's eyes lit up.
He didn't want to die, let alone be tortured to death by the regent princess.
It was Wu Yi who brought them to this point in the first place, so no wonder he added insult to injury.
Sun Liang thought for a while and whispered: "Princess, General Gu, and the general also know something about Wu Yi..."
Luo Junyao and Gu Jue exchanged a look. This Sun Liang was indeed dishonest.
"Say it."
In a mountain forest a hundred miles away from Piao County, two people were walking awkwardly through it.
"Prince Xie, can you do it?" Qin Yao'er said dissatisfiedly to the people behind him while pushing aside the weeds in front of him with a stick to explore the path.
Compared with her, Xie Xiao looked even more embarrassed. He smiled helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, it was me who got Miss Yao'er into trouble."
He was so polite that Qin Yaoer was embarrassed to lose his temper.
"Forget it, it's Gu Jue who asked me to save you. I will definitely send you to the princess, don't worry." Qin Yao'er said.
Xie Xiao smiled bitterly. He accidentally leaked his whereabouts in Qingzhou and was almost caught by the Cao family.
Fortunately, Qin Yao'er arrived in time, and with the blessing of Qin Yao'er's superb disguise and poison skills, the two of them escaped from Qingzhou City in some embarrassment and got rid of the Cao family's spy.
Unfortunately, they were not very lucky. When they went north to Yanzhou and ran to Jianling, the princess and General Gu had already left with their troops. They had no choice but to turn south again and accidentally encountered the remnants of Gaoyu. The two were followed by a group of Gaoyu soldiers.
They were driven into the mountains and forests like dogs. There were no horses either, and they could only walk on two legs.
Only then did Xie Xiao realize that he was able to travel around safely in the past few years, thanks to the fact that the world was relatively peaceful.
Otherwise, with his little ability, he would really be inferior to a little girl in troubled times.
Qin Yao'er, a little girl who looks less than fifteen years old, is much more powerful than him.
"What's wrong with you?" Hearing that there was no movement behind him for a while, Qin Yao'er turned around and saw Xie Xiao's wilting appearance, thinking that he was tired, "How about taking a rest?"
Xie Xiao quickly shook his head and said: "No, let's hurry on. It would be better to find the princess and the others earlier. It's just that I've dragged down Miss Yao'er, and I'm really sorry."
Qin Yaoer waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you are still much better than those scholars. Boss Cui and I also know each other. We are all on the same side, so you are welcome."
Xie Xiao was stunned. He looked up and saw Qin Yao'er's nonchalant expression, and said, "Miss Yao'er... knows about Zhe Yu..."
Qin Yao'er blinked and said, "You want to marry Boss Cui, but Boss Cui doesn't want to marry you."
Xie Xiao smiled helplessly, why was he telling a little girl this?
But I still couldn't help but ask: "Miss Yaoer is with the princess, is there any news about Zheyu?"
Qin Yao'er immediately stared at him warily and said, "I won't tell you."
"I made a mistake." Xie Xiao said.
Qin Yao'er looked a little pitiful when he looked like this and couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, Boss Cui is better than you. I think that Boss Cui refuses to marry you because he must think you are not good enough. So you have to work hard and wait.
She thinks you are very powerful, so she might agree."
"How do you know it's because I'm not good enough?" Xie Xiao said.
Qin Yao'er said matter-of-factly: "The prince and Yu Mingqiu are very powerful, General Luo and Prince Ancheng are also very powerful, so they have wives. You, Wei Changting and Gu Jue are not powerful enough, so you don't have wives."
Wife."
"..." It sounds very reasonable.
Just as the two of them were saying this, Xie Xiao's gaze suddenly froze down the mountain. He stared at a place down the mountain for a long time and said, "Miss Yao'er, look at the foot of the mountain."
"What?" Qin Yao'er turned her head and looked over after hearing this. It took a while before she finally knew what Xie Xiao wanted her to see.
Far down the mountain, there were countless people moving quickly towards the front.
Because they were far apart, at a glance they could only see a long human dragon moving. The two stared at each other for a long time before they recognized each other's identity, looked at each other and said in unison: "He Ruo
Muti!”
"Gaoyu people!"
A few days ago, they encountered a small group of Gaoyu people robbing ordinary people. The two of them couldn't help but take action, only to be chased by the Gaoyu people.
Seeing such a large group of Gaoyu people now, Xie Xiao was thinking about the purpose of these people, but Qin Yaoer's heart was filled with old and new hatreds.
"Let's leave quickly." Xie Xiao said in a deep voice, "I don't know where these people want to go and what they want to do. We need to find the princess and General Gu as soon as possible and tell them the news."
Qin Yao'er said: "Can't we kill that one first?"
Xie Xiao said: "It's too dangerous. There are so many Gaoyu troops around him, so it's more important to report their whereabouts to the princess and General Gu first."
Qin Yao'er felt a little regretful, but she also knew that Xie Xiao was right.
She had been in the Zhenguo Army, so she naturally knew that it was not that easy to accurately poison the commander in the midst of thousands of troops.
"Then let's go quickly. Let's go down the mountain to find two horses. There are many of them and they will definitely not be as fast as us."
Xie Xiao nodded, put aside the sadness that had just arisen in his heart, and quickened his pace through the mountains and forests.
