Under the night light, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and hundreds of cavalry troops were guarding a middle-aged Confucian scholar, walking leisurely in the dark night.
After defeating Tian Feng, his arch-rival who had been weighing on him, Xu You was really proud of himself at the moment. He was ordered by Yuan Shao to send an envoy to the Sui camp, and he vividly displayed the words "villain's success" along the way.
"Master Xu, this is the intersecting area between our army, the Sui army, and the Zhu army. The scouts and cavalry of each army are extremely active and fighting continues. In my humble opinion, it is better to speed up and wait until the Sui army camp is reached." The leader of the cavalry army once said. Fang rushed over on horseback and suggested to Xu You in a low voice.
Xu You was currently immersed in the joy of defeating Tian Feng, and was thinking about how to take advantage of Tian Feng's loss of power to give him a fatal blow so that he would never be able to stand up again. The cavalry leader suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He couldn't help but glare at him and said with extreme displeasure: "No need."
"Sir Xu, could this be..." The leader of the cavalry army was worried and wanted to continue to persuade, but Xu You objected very decisively: "We are on a mission to the Sui camp this time. When we encounter the Sui army, we only need to identify ourselves. .As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he still regards us as an ally, how could he possibly attack us?"
"yes!"
Seeing Xu You's resolute attitude, the cavalry leader didn't know what to say. He bowed his hands and turned his horse back to the head of the team.
Seeing the cavalry leader leaving, Xu You snorted in displeasure and continued to think about how to kill Tian Feng.
Suddenly, Xu You had an idea in his mind. Tian Feng is stubborn and acts selflessly. When he was in Bohai, several political orders given to Yuan Shao had already violated the interests of the wealthy families who supported Yuan Shao's army.
Later, Yuan Shao and Zhu Yuanzhang fought and lost consecutive battles. Tian Feng did not show any face to those wealthy families and killed more than a dozen generals who fled in defeat.
Those aristocratic families were already dissatisfied with Tian Feng, but it was just because Tian Feng held a high position and was highly trusted by Yuan Shao. Zhu Yuanzhang and the Sui army pressed forward with their troops one after another, so they did not take action against Tian Feng.
But now, Tian Feng has hated Yuan Shao. If he comes forward to contact those aristocratic families, and the two sides join forces to add a few more charges to Tian Feng, even if Tian Feng is not dead, he may not be able to make a comeback in Yuan's army.
"Hahaha, Tian Ju is a stubborn ass. In the past, you insisted on Xu Mou accepting bribes. As a result, Xu Mou was beaten thirty times by the lord and almost died. This time, let's see how Xu Mou kills you. !”
Xu You was secretly proud in his heart, and turned to look in the direction of Yuan Jun's camp, as if he had already seen Tian Feng being beheaded.
Whoosh! ! !
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. In the jungle on both sides. Rows of sharp arrows were fired. Yuan Jun was caught off guard and was immediately shot to the ground. Dozens of riders were killed on the spot, and dozens of others had to stop.
"who?"
Although Xu You doesn't know martial arts, he has a noble status and is naturally the target of special protection. Almost at the same moment when the arrow was shot, there were more than a dozen shields protecting him airtight.
"Hehehe."
Along with a burst of deep laughter, dozens of torches suddenly lit up in the woods on both sides, and the light was bright. Hundreds of Zhu soldiers held bows and crossbows, surrounding all the dozens of cavalry.
"Li Shanchang!"
Xu You recognized the scribe who was surrounded by stars in Zhu's army at a glance. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he asked calmly: "Mr. Li, we are allies, but Li Now, sir, he is leading his troops to kill Xu and shoot dozens of our soldiers, what is this?"
"Then what does Mr. Xu want to do when he goes out late at night? This road is not going to our army camp!"
Li Shanchang smiled coldly and said: "Mr. Xu, are you too underestimated by the Ming Dynasty and the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty? When Yang Xin was attacked, what did you all want to do? Couldn't we not have predicted it? Be sensible and be good. Get off your horse and go with me to see King Ming, maybe your life can be spared!"
Li Shanchang said it lightly, but in fact he was already furious. Yuan Shao actually planned to collude with the Sui army. He was indeed a hopeless fool. Now that we have embarked on the road of separatist warlords, how can we still be controlled by the family? You are so stupid that you ruin King Ming's important affairs!
"Quick, rush out!"
After hearing what Li Shanchang said, Xu You knew something was wrong. He immediately roared, slapped his horse and rushed forward. Since Zhu Yuanzhang had anticipated everything, I'm afraid he was also ready to send troops to Yuan Camp.
Although Xu You is a villain who is greedy for money and power, he is not completely mediocre. He knew very well that with the elite of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, it was impossible to win with his own army alone. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Zhu Yuanzhang to approach the city with his troops.
The only way now is to rush to the Sui camp to join the Sui army and use the power of the Sui army to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang. As for what happened after killing Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu You couldn't care about it now.
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing Yuan Jun's cavalry rushing forward, Li Shanchang ordered without hesitation.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Arrows swooped in like locusts, and Yuan Jun's cavalry were constantly hit by arrows and fell off their horses. However, this Yuan army was considered an elite force. They charged against the rain of arrows. After suffering extremely heavy casualties, more than a dozen riders fought their way out of the siege.
"Catch them and never let any of them escape!" Li Shanchang was furious when he saw this and roared at his subordinates.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. The territory of the Sui army is not far away. We will be safe soon!" The leader of the cavalry army held a long spear in his hand and was covered in blood. It was his fault to protect Xu You along the way, otherwise Xu You A scribe who had no power to restrain a chicken had long been cut into pieces by Sergeant Zhu's soldiers.
"That's good, that's good!" At this time, Xu You had long lost the pride he had when he first left the camp. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and kept waving his whip to scold his mount to speed up.
"Catch 'em, catch 'em!"
At this moment, another cry of killing came from behind. Dozens of Zhu Jun cavalry had already mounted their horses to surround them. Xu You's face turned pale in an instant.
But at the same time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front. The cavalry leader was overjoyed and said to Xu You immediately: "Sir, it should be the Sui army's sentry cavalry who heard the noise and came over. We are saved!"
Xu You said nothing and immediately ordered: "Quick, get closer to them."
"Commanders of the Sui Army, we are envoys sent by General Yuan Chu. The traitor Zhu Yuanzhang is chasing us behind us. Please help us!"
Xu You and others shouted and moved closer to the front. Unexpectedly, they only heard an order and countless sharp arrows were fired at Xu You and others. The leader of the cavalry was the first to bear the brunt and was shot into a hedgehog on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu You hurriedly reined in his horse and fled. He happened to bump into the Zhu Jun knights surrounding him and was captured on the spot.
Looking at Zhu Jun's soldiers and horses slowly retreating, a guard in Jinyi asked Jia Xu in confusion: "Master Jia, we have been planning for a long time, just to make Yuan Chu and Zhu Yuanzhang turn against each other. Why don't we save Yuan Chu's envoy and let him go?" Did he fall into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands?"
Jia Xu said calmly: "Our goal is not only to make Yuan Chu and Zhu Yuanzhang turn against each other, but also to make them kill each other. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Chu are unwilling to be inferior to others, and there is absolutely no possibility of surrender. Furthermore, Yuan Chu's power is supported by the Hebei family, and your majesty's national policies are incompatible with the family. Wouldn't surrendering Yuan Chu cause a lot of trouble for your majesty?"
