Chapter 525: Chaos in the North
Li Yunfei himself is not dangerous, he just couldn't solve the entanglement of the three people for a while, but Thirty-Six and Xiao Qiao in the distance were in danger. Thirty-six also protected themselves under the siege of twenty or thirty people. These assassins Much better than half the soldiers. Although Xiao Qiao's swordsmanship is good, he has never seen such a big battle. He is surrounded by several assassins and is in danger. Maybe those assassins want to be captured alive to persevere.
Fortunately, the Thirty-six One Momentum Forces immediately sent a request for help, and there was a faint roar from the ground, and the rescue was indeed very fast, only a few minutes later. It came from the northeast. It should be Lu Lingqi who brought her crossbow cavalry here, and there should be a lot of people. The dusty appearance must be at least two or three thousand people.
"Thie Lu, leave your head on your body for now. Next time I will kill you." Ma Chao shouted and ran away. Sun Ce and Huang Zhong ran away without saying a word. The group of assassins ran away. Seeing that several of the leaders had all run away, they also followed. Although these people are very skilled, they are not professional assassins, otherwise Thirty-Six and Xiao Qiao will definitely die.
Li Yunfei didn't go after him, but rode back to the vicinity of the carriage, and kept away from the group of assassins, so that Lu Lingqi could make more moves. The accuracy of the super long-distance crossbow attack was not enough.
Seeing that Li Yunfei didn't dare to chase, Sun Ce and the others relaxed a lot and thought it was safe, because there was still three or four hundred steps to rescue the soldiers. In their perception, in addition to the strong crossbow placed at the head of the city, there was also a distance. No weapon like that can hit that far. As for the pursuit of the cavalry behind, the horses they brought this time were all very fast, and getting rid of the pursuit was not a problem at all, so they turned around and rode away without any hesitation.
But just when they boldly turned around and galloped, a tragedy happened. The overwhelming rain of arrows fell from the sky with a sound of breaking the air. In an instant, more than half of them fell to the ground. The remaining dozen people hurriedly rode their horses and ran for their lives. Another wave of arrows has arrived...
Li Yunfei did not look at the one-sided murder, but looked at the injuries of the two. Generally speaking, the blood on Thirty-Six's body came from the enemy. There were only a few skin injuries, and Xiao Qiao was not injured at all. However, the clothes were damaged in many places, the hair looked very messy, and the panting was obviously a little tired.
"Thirty-Six's appearance today is very good!" He patted Thirty-Six on the shoulder and said.
"I'm ashamed, if it wasn't for Miss Qiao who could protect herself, then..."
"Don't blame yourself, you've done a good job... Xiao Qiao, are you alright?" Seeing Xiao Qiao staggering about to fall, she hurried over to help someone, seeing that her clothes were damaged in many places, even some The local flesh was about to be exposed, and he took off his robe and put it on her.
"Thank you General, the slave family is just tired, and her hands and feet are a little weak." She felt a burst of shame when she said that. In fact, she was not tired but frightened.
The strength of the several assassins who besieged her just now was one point higher than her. It was originally a must-have ending, but those assassins wanted to catch them alive, and she was fighting for her life, so she was not subdued, but it was dangerous several times. It's really scary to think about it.
"Well, you were very brave just now... Thirty-six, let's go back to the city first. Since there is an accident in the north, we must make arrangements as soon as possible, and leave the matter here to Qi'er." Liu drove back to the city, and of course handing over the matter to Lu Lingqi was of course in order to cultivate her ability to deal with various emergencies.
"General, since the young lady is here, let's go down to meet him!" Xiao Qiao, who was sitting beside Li Yunfei, struggled to stand up. It happened that the carriage swayed at this moment, and she sat on Li Yunfei's lap before she could stand still. , Li Yunfei also subconsciously reached out and hugged the person... The only feeling is that it is so flexible, Xiao Qiao is also frozen there and dare not move, because no matter how you look at it, he just sat in Li Yunfei's arms on purpose...
"...Uh, it's alright, just take a good rest, and I'll talk when Qi'er finishes the matter." Since everyone took the initiative to sit in their arms, of course, they didn't push them out of the way, they all said there was It's a **** if you don't take advantage of it. In order not to be a bastard, take advantage of it. It seems that it is regarded as a meat pad again, and it is not just to take advantage of it. In this world, he is the number one man who has fascinated thousands of girls. For example, this Xiao Qiao will take the initiative to give her a hug...
The carriage stopped after a while, because a person was chasing after him on horseback. It was Xiaobu, although she was incompetent, but after seeing the signal from the master, she immediately rode a horse and chased out of the camp...
"Master and servants are here!" Li Yunfei was considering whether to put the beauty in his arms aside and sit down, when he suddenly found out that the girl was asleep, and suspected that she was pretending to be asleep, or else How can a person fall asleep so fast?
"...Master, is Sister Xiao Qiao injured?" As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw Xiao Qiao lying in Li Yunfei's arms, with his eyes closed, his face was a little pale, and he looked like an injured patient.
"I was tired and scared, but now I'm asleep. When did you learn to ride a horse, Xiaobu?" To avoid embarrassment, Li Yunfei changed the subject.
"This, in fact, it didn't take long for the slaves to learn, and they only learned it last month." Recalling that Li Yunfei always pretended to be scared when he rode with him, and kept returning the gift to Li Yunfei...
"...Come and sit down, I didn't expect a simple girl like you to be so good at pretending."
"No, no, slaves have never dared to ride alone before, but today I suddenly heard that something happened to the master, so I dared to ride."
"Well, since you care so much about the master, I don't blame you!"
"Master... Why don't this servant help you hold Sister Xiao Qiao, you must have been exhausted just now!" As soon as Xiaobu's words fell, he felt Xiao Qiao's eyelashes flickering a few times in his arms, and he was sure that he was awake. Just to avoid embarrassment, pretend to be asleep on purpose.
"Of course not. How can you ask a little girl to help you with this kind of physical work?"
…
Only a few of the group of assassins escaped the shooting range of the powerful crossbow, and most of them were already injured. Lu Lingqi did not continue to chase because they could not catch up. To arrest the assassins, of course, it is unlikely to catch those few people. Since these people can come silently, of course there is a way to go silently.
This incident had little impact on Li Yunfei, but it had a great impact on the entire Xuzhou new army. The lord was assassinated in his safest place. Many people felt ashamed, and the old nine, who was in charge of intelligence, felt even more guilty. If he had to resign, in the end, Li Yunfei personally came forward to appease him, and then he could atone for his crimes. The message from the north was delayed by half a beat, and it was not until Li Yunfei returned to the city that he received the message.
Yuan Shao really died of illness. To be precise, he had too much fun with a concubine. He died suddenly. Although the death was very strange, no one could say what was wrong, and his three sons did not. Spend too much energy to investigate, but there are so many heir positions. You are fighting to the death. Now the north can be said to be a mess. It is no wonder that there were so many old and weak women and children in urgent need of help in Xuchang some time ago.
Yuan Shao's forces were in civil strife, and Li Yunfei's army of more than 200,000 garrisoned in the north would certainly not give up the great opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the land. It is in ruins and the population is very small, but the foundation there is still there, and it will prosper again after a few years of good development.
Almost all the sites south of the Yellow River were acquired. These sites were originally owned by Cao Cao, later by Yuan Shao, and now by Li Yunfei. In just one year, three managers were replaced. It can be said that the common people are miserable. They run away and run away. Only some old and weak women and children who can't run away are left in the ruins to die.
Fortunately, this year Li Yunfei is a year of great harvest. Otherwise, he can only watch from a distance and dare not occupy those territories. Although there are few people, the entire population of such a large area is as many as several million. of. Most of these people's food and food were taken away by the soldiers because of the war. If they didn't get timely assistance, many people would not be able to survive this winter.
Teams of small teams attacked with some food and grass. After seeing the victims, they boiled a thick porridge to eat, and then directed the victims to gather in the city for unified rescue and transfer. This process was quite slow and wasteful of manpower.
If it wasn't for Li Yunfei's order, Xu Zhe would not be willing to do so. In fact, the better way now is to directly concentrate troops to cross the upper Yellow River, take Yuan Shao's forces in a sweeping trend, and occupy those territories.
…
"Brother Yang (Hu Yi's name is Yang Xiao), UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com what kind of person do you think the lord is, why would you give up such a good opportunity, this time we have a chance to unify the north, what a pity It's over." Xu Shu sighed a pity when he saw that the great opportunity was given up.
"The last thing the lord can't see is that a large number of people are starved to death and not saved. This is not the style of the lord. When the lord talked to us before, he said a word, but it is still fresh in my memory."
"What did you say?"
"It is meaningful to have talents in this world. If there are no people, the world will be of no use!" Hu Yi said, imitating Li Yunfei's tone.
"...It is said that Liu Bei is kind, and I think the lord who broke the door is more kind... It's a pity that a lot of time, financial and material resources were wasted to save people. Although it has won some people's hearts, it will be difficult to re-attack after the north is stabilized. Many, it is said that Cao Cao has gained a firm foothold in Youzhou again."
"Cao Cao is just a defeated general under the lord. I'm afraid of what he will do. I just need to do things according to the instructions. The will of the lord is the direction of my waiting."
"...You're still open-minded, don't think about it. There will be tens of thousands of victims coming tomorrow. I have to make arrangements first."
