Chapter 29 Beihai

"Your name is Guan Ming?"

Zhao Yu waved his hand: "Come forward."

Although Guan Ming was a little uneasy, he was full of courage and came forward to bow again.

Zhao Yu nodded: "I think you are quite different from those beasts, so I will spare your life first. Come and tell me, what is going on?"

Guan Ming did not dare to hide it and told the details so that Zhao Yu could understand.

The Yellow Turban Army looks powerful, but in fact there are many hills inside. This branch is the king of a certain mountain, and that branch is the snakehead of a certain county. To say that they are doing it for Huang Tian's great cause is nonsense. In fact, most of them are bandits wearing yellow scarves who come out to rob.

Guan Hai, Xu He and others can be leaders only if they have strong strength and are true Yellow Turbans. When you are here, you can suppress these thieves. Once you leave, the thieves will not change their nature and can do anything.

When Guan Hai left, he left Guan Ming behind just to supervise these people, but it was of no use.

How can you supervise the lives of hundreds of people?

There were conflicts, but in the end we had to let it go, out of sight, out of mind, and hid aside.

Guan Ming has already planned to leave with hundreds of his cronies and abandon these thieves.

Then Zhao Yu arrived.

After Zhao Yu listened, he became somewhat curious about Guan Hai, Xu He and others.

It seems that there are still a few idealistic Yellow Turbans led by Zhang Jiao.

Although these people also have wooden heads, they are much better than pure thieves.

Guan Ming didn't know whether it was because he was straight-hearted or how he got it, but he said many things at once: "After the defeat of Qingzhou, we were expelled to Mount Tai. Boss Guan actually wanted to become a good man, but Boss Xu didn't want to. Because of the saint. , even if you are the boss, you can’t just leave it alone..."

"Saint?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh: "You also have a saint?"

In the modern time and space two thousand years later, many novels about the Three Kingdoms have invented the character of the Saint of Taiping Dao. But Zhao Yu never imagined that there really was a saint!

It's quite strange.

Speaking of the saint, Guan Ming showed admiration: "The saint is a good person."

Zhao Yu nodded noncommittally: "In other words, Guan Hai originally wanted to be a good person, but Xu He didn't want to, and because he was concerned about your saint daughter, he had to drag it on like this?"

"Sir, what you said is right. Boss Xu said that if we join the army and join the army, we may be fine, but the army will never let the saint go."

After hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel convinced.

This saint is now the spiritual leader of the remaining Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turban can surrender, but she cannot. Let’s not talk about whether she is willing or not. If she dares to surrender, who dares to accept it? It's just a knife left or right.

Zhao Yu's mind turned and he said: "I also want you to know that my surname is Zhao and my first name is Yu, and I am a good friend of Cao Mengde, the governor of Yanzhou. I am coming here just to subjugate you."

Guan Ming was not surprised: "Mr. Zhao came unexpectedly, but I know that Mr. Zhao must have a purpose. It is impossible for someone without a purpose to come here. Mr. Zhao wants to subjugate us. With Mr. Zhao's ability to be close to the immortal family, We can't resist. But Guan Ming is here to ask for something!"

As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down and prostrated. "Mr. Zhao, you must be very important to Cao Mengde. We can surrender, but there is only one request. The saint is innocent. She is a good person and should not..."

The hundreds of people accompanying Guan Ming all knelt down and said, "Please Mr. Zhao, please save the saint!" These hundreds of people were like a fuse. Whether it was the real Yellow Turban or not, people near and far around, Like dominoes, they fell to the ground one after another. Many sobbing sounds came out, making Zhao Yu's heart tremble.

Looking around, Zhao Yu looked sighing. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and reached for it. He only heard a loud bang, the county government office collapsed, and then a raging fire broke out.

Zhao Yu turned his back to the fire and said calmly: "This fire will burn the past. I agree to your request on behalf of Cao Mengde, but if there is another thief in the future, I will take his life. Guan Ming, you are a Wise man, please serve me from now on.”

Guan Ming looked at this miraculous scene, his face flushed, and he said excitedly: "Here!"

"good."

Every word of Zhao Yu's voice spread throughout the county: "Now, Guan Ming listen to my order and call all the leaders." "Yes!"

Guan Ming immediately took hundreds of people, divided them into several groups, and dispersed.

Zhao Yu then said to the ten knights beside him: "Split out five of you and report back to Meng De immediately, asking him to come here and take over as soon as possible."

"Here!"

Five people got on their horses, and the young, strong, old, weak, women and children crowding on the street immediately made way for the five people to leave the city.

Not long after, Guan Ming came to Zhao Yu with hundreds of leaders, big and small.

These guys who had been violent in the past were all as trembling as little white rabbits in front of Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu glanced over, but when he saw the cruelty in his eyes, he killed him with one sword. After a few breaths, only a dozen of the hundreds of leaders were left. But no one dared to resist.

Zhao Yu said: "The ones I killed were all beasts that were violent and dehumanized. The remaining ten of you should be lucky that you have not lost your humanity. Now go down, collect the weapons, and maintain order in the city. If anyone dares to cause chaos, directly fight with them." I will kill him, and then wait for Duke Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, to come and take over. From now on, you will follow me and serve, do you hear me?"

"Here!"

"Guan Ming, take care of this. There must be some ferocious and stubborn people in the city. Patrol them for me and kill every one you see." "Here."

Then Zhao Yu sat down cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes to rest.

The five knights around him stood up straight and guarded the surroundings, not daring to relax at all.

At this time, Cao Mengde felt uneasy. Firstly, he was worried that Mr. Zhao might be in danger when he went there. Secondly, he was worried about the safety of his close friend Bao Xin, so he could not sit still.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, a bodyguard suddenly came to report: "My lord, Mr. Zhao has returned with his entourage!" "Oh!"

Cao Mengde perked up: "Call in quickly!"

Five people walked into the tent: "Lord!" "Tell me quickly, how is Mr. Zhao!?"

Five people, you look at me, I look at you, you open your mouths and you don’t know what to say. It's really too mysterious.

But Cao Mengde didn't think so. Looking at the expressions of the five people, he thought that Zhao Yu had an accident. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Come here, come here! Gather your troops with me quickly!"

The five people quickly said: "My lord, my lord! Mr. Zhao is fine!"

"nothing?!"

Cao Mengde drew out his sword, the cold light flashing: "Why are you so hesitant when nothing happens?!"

The knight was startled and said quickly: "My lord, please listen to this villain! Your husband is so powerful that I don't know what to say!" "Oh?"

Cao Mengde lowered his Heavenly Sword and asked doubtfully: "What's going on?"

So the five people talked to each other and made up the complete story of what happened in Bo County.

Cao Mengde was also shocked when he heard this: "Mr. Zhao single-handedly killed Bo County with a single sword?! Destroyed the county government? Burned it down? All the thieves were killed? Already surrendered?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Mr. Zhao ordered the villain to return. Please go and receive him as soon as possible."

Cao Mengde was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay!"

He slashed the desk with his Yitian Sword several times: "I knew that if Mr. Zhao took action, the matter was settled!"

Then he shouted from outside the checkroom: "Come here, please bring Mr. Cheng over quickly!"

...

It was late at night when Zhao Yu saw Cao Mengde.

When Cao Mengde received the news, he did not dare to neglect at all. Although it was getting dark, he set out camp overnight without worrying about the possibility of fraud or smearing.

Finally arrived at Bo County at midnight.

"Sir, sir, I, Cao Mengde, don't know what to say anymore!"

He grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and shook it hard. "Okay, okay." Zhao Yu quickly broke away: "Stop dangling around. Take over quickly. I will kill all the thieves in this city, those with deep animal nature. There are still those with human nature, and I will follow you from now on. I'm with you, just take care of things and don't have any worries."

Cao Mengde was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I can meet Mr. Zhao, just like King Wu met Jiang Shang!"

Zhao Yu quickly waved his hand: "Don't praise him, Jiang Shang is a man of the ages. I don't dare to compare with my ancestors."

Then he said: "In this city, there are more than 100,000 young people and more than 300,000 old, weak, women and children. Mengde, you take over first and make arrangements. I will go to Beihai immediately..."

"Why go to Beihai?"

Cao Mengde said confused.

Zhao Yu said: "I blame me for not making it clear to you. The main force of Bo County went to attack Beihai under the leadership of their leader Guan Hai a few days ago. If Guan Hai is not surrendered, it will not be considered as full service. What's more, The innocent people of Beihai will be in danger, so it would be better for me to go and subdue him early."

After hearing this, Cao Mengde was relieved: "Okay. Mr. Zhao will go to Beihai first. After I take care of this place, I will go to Liangfu. It's time to wait for Mr. Zhao to return and we will meet up in Liangfu!"

"good."

Zhao Yu still had ten horses and one man, carrying dry food and water bags, and headed to Beihai overnight.

As for Cao Mengde, he didn't dare to sleep all night, and he and Cheng Yu were busy in and out, reorganizing and comforting, killing those who deserved to be killed, and beating those who deserved to be beaten. It was not until noon the next day that Bo County was sorted out.

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, we must put them out as soon as possible, otherwise they will gather here and waste food and grass."

Cao Mengde was also well aware of the trouble involved, and said, "In that case, how about I allocate two thousand steel-armored elite soldiers and sir, and you can make arrangements?"

Cheng Yu bowed his hands and said with a smile, "Dare you disobey me?"

At this time, soldiers from Chengxian County came to report. "My lord, Prime Minister Bao Guo died in the battle!"

Cao Mengde was originally excited about the incident in Bo County. When he heard the news, he suddenly shrank like a deflated ball.

"Didn't I ask Zihe to go to the rescue?" He was both sad and angry: "What did Zihe do?!"

The soldier who reported the news lowered his head, not daring to face Cao Mengde's anger, and whispered: "The general is a step too slow... Bao Guoxiang was in a hurry to attack, and he was accidentally surrounded by bandit soldiers. The general led the villain and others to break through the enemy formation. Bao Guoxiang He was killed by an arrow."

Cao Mengde was stunned, his eyes were red, and he touched his chest and lamented repeatedly: "Cao Mengde has lost his best friend, he has lost his best friend! Yuncheng, brother Yuncheng!" "My lord, my condolences."

Cheng Yu was very happy when he heard the news, but how could he touch Cao Mengde's bad luck at this time? He also lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to raise his head, in case Cao Mengde saw the smile at the corner of his mouth.
