Yuan Xi has been defeated and Hu Pass has been lost. Now he has taken the last of his troops to defect to Yuan Shang.
Of course, this is not the most exciting thing.
General, that Yuan Shang is simply a lunatic, he actually killed Tian Feng and Jushou because of Xu You's slander!"
What!?
When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore.
This Yuan Shang is not just a madman? He is simply a fool!
Those are Tian Feng and Jushu! Those are the pillars of Hebei!
This guy actually got chopped off right away? This guy is really more domineering than the Overlord.
"Xia Houlan, have your ranger friends found out the reason for the frequent mobilization of supplies in Hebei?"
Compared with the explosive gossip news, what Zhao Yun is most concerned about is the frequent mobilization of supplies in Hebei.
There must be a conspiracy in this.
"General, aren't you still worried about Xia Houlan's work? I've already made inquiries about it.
All of this was because Xu You had devised some kind of plan, saying that he wanted to use supplies to lure General Gao Lan into the trap, and then wipe out General Gao Lan and his Canglong Cavalry.
Moreover, General, my brothers have also found out another important piece of information!
Yuan Shang plans to form an alliance with Lu Bu, and the price he pays for the alliance is Yuan Xi's wife, Zhen Mi!
General, Zhen Mi is known as the most beautiful woman in Hebei!"
Zhao Yun was not interested in the most beautiful woman at all, but became interested in a piece of news that was almost gossip.
This, if Yuan Shang really succeeds in forming an alliance with Lu Bu, I'm afraid our Chu country will be in trouble!
You know, at this time, the Overlord didn't even know that Lu Bu's army had arrived in Bingzhou.
This is why Zhao Yun is so eager to join Xiang Ji.
"Xia Houlan, do you know the specific implementation time of Xu You's plan?"
Now, Zhao Yun can only find out how long it will take for Xu You's plan of luring the enemy deep into the city to be implemented.
If it were implemented immediately, then Zhao Yun would have no choice but to find a way to return to Gao Lian as soon as possible.
But if there is still time...
"General, even if it takes a long time to implement.
General, you don’t know that Xu You is a notorious thief.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou had previously blocked it, so the collection of supplies was not smooth.
But now, both of them have been killed by Yuan Shang. Without anyone to stop him, how can this guy not be greedy?
From Xia Houlan's point of view, this guy won't be able to easily end this collection of supplies unless he hangs the entire Jizhou on the ground."
Hearing what Xia Houlan said, Zhao Yun suddenly felt relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately!
As expected, God bless our country of Chu, and God bless our overlord!
In this way, there will be plenty of time, and the operational space will naturally be much larger.
"Very well, Xiahoulan, go and ask your brothers immediately when the envoy sent by Yuan Shang to Lu Bu of Qin State will set off and what is the specific route.
Let's go and stop the messenger!"
Yes, this is Zhao Yun's plan.
Since there is still plenty of time, Zhao Yun is not so eager to meet up with Gao Lan.
After all, even if he reunited with Gao Lan, Zhao Yun could not let him lead him through the defense line and return to Chu's position.
You know, Gao Lan's expedition this time was responsible for cutting off Ningjin's logistics. How could he lead his army back just because of himself?
It's easy to break through once, but if you want to bypass the defense line again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
The Hebei Army is not a fool, so how could it not take precautions against this?
Now, what Zhao Yun wants to do is to stop the envoy sent by Yuan Shang to Bingzhou.
As long as the connection between Yuan Shang and Lu Bu can be cut off, then at least Chu will not have to face the risk of an alliance between Qin and Qi.
Right now, this is the top priority.
After receiving Zhao Yun's order, Xia Houlan turned around and left the place where everyone stayed temporarily without saying a word.
As Xia Houlan conveyed Zhao Yun's order, the rangers in Hebei took action again.
Countless rangers were wandering around among the country tourists, and the information that the spies of Chu State could not find out was too easy for these local rangers in Jizhou.
Sure enough, when the envoy team from Yecheng just set off, the rangers who were closely monitoring it discovered its traces.
"General, we have found out that the envoy sent by Yuan Shang to Bingzhou is Xin Ping. He was originally a subordinate of Yuan Tan. With Yuan Tan's defeat, he has now been subordinated to Yuan Shang.
As for the stunning Zhen Mi, I heard that she is also in the team. According to what my brothers found out, there is a luxury carriage in the team, which must be Zhen Mi's carriage."
Unexpectedly, these rangers, who are usually ignored by others, can have such great energy when activated.
This time, Zhao Yun really looked at them with admiration.
You know, in this era, there are a large number of rangers under the rule of any prince.
These guys are not engaged in production, labor, and do not perform military service. They just bully the villagers and are hated by others.
But it was precisely because these guys, who had never been taken seriously by the major princes and kings, provided a lot of help to Zhao Yun in this Hebei battle.
"Very well, Xia Houlan, tell your fellow knights and knights.
Tell them that I, Zhao Yuncheng, accept this favor, and I also accept it on behalf of the Chu State and the Overlord.
When the war in Hebei is over, we will report it later!"
After all, Zhao Yun is one of the top generals in the Chu Kingdom, so he still has some confidence. I believe that the Overlord will not reject him on such a trivial matter.
Zhao Yun once again made a promise to You Xia'er and set off.
Currently, even the rangers cannot detect the location of General Gao Lan, and Zhao Yun does not know where to go to meet him.
And Xu You's plan to lure the enemy deeper...
I'm afraid this guy won't start until he's greedy enough.
So for Zhao Yun, who now has plenty of time, naturally the most important thing is to intercept Yuan Shang's envoy.
Jizhou, She County.
After several days of running wildly, Zhao Yun and others had arrived at Cheng County, the last place on the border with Bingzhou in Jizhou.
This is where Yuan Shang's envoy must pass.
"General, according to their itinerary, Yuan Shang's envoy team may arrive in Shexian County by noon tomorrow."
Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel happy after hearing Xia Houlan's report.
Not bad, not bad, I caught up.
It would be really tragic if he ran all the way and failed to catch up with Yuan Shang's envoy.
You know, once the envoy team passes Shexian County, it will enter the bounds of Bingzhou.
Zhao Yun has no idea what the current situation of the war in Bingzhou is, and Zhao Yun does not dare to send people to find out.
After all, crossing the Taihang Mountains is no joke, those rangers don't have such strength.
