Chapter 1284: Burial! [1] (Thanks to: Suiyue Huaguo Zhijian)

"Report!"

Outside Yucheng, a team of cavalry galloped rapidly toward the city gate.

The leader of the cavalry battalion looked panicked, shouting in his mouth.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song on the city wall saw the figures and heard the shouts of the cavalry, and both leaned out to look outside the city wall.

Before long, the cavalry squad leader, with a panicked look, ran quickly up to the city wall and knelt on one knee before Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song.

"Reporting to the General, it's bad, something terrible has happened!"

The squad leader looked panicked.

Zhu Jun frowned, looked down at the kneeling cavalry squad leader, and asked: "What is bad? Did Duan Yu's subordinates bring the Liangzhou army to attack the city?"

The squad leader shook his head quickly and said: "No... it's not Duan Yu's subordinates..."

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Zhu Jun's face.

However, before Zhu Jun could say anything more, the squad leader's next sentence left Zhu Jun stunned on the spot.

"It is Duan Yu, Duan Yu has come!" The squad leader looked up at Zhu Jun.

What!

Both Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were stunned.

"What did you say? Say it again?" Zhu Jun asked, looking at the squad leader in disbelief: "You said Duan Yu has come?"

Huangfu Song, standing to the side, was also extremely shocked.

How could it be so fast?

And not a single piece of news had been received.

According to the current time, Duan Yu should still be on his way back from the Western Regions.

Could it be that he can fly?

"Did you see clearly? Is it really Duan Yu?" Huangfu Song asked again.

The squad leader nodded quickly and said: "This subordinate dares not lie. Although this subordinate does not know Duan Yu, that person is indeed Duan Yu."

"Duan Yu only brought a few hundred cavalry, and upon arriving at Anyi, he attacked Anyi City alone."

"Before this subordinate returned, Anyi City had already been broken by Duan Yu, and the Tiger-Brave General of the Household was captured alive by Duan Yu..."

"This subordinate did not dare to get close, but watched from afar. Duan Yu was riding a huge black tiger, wearing armor that reflected golden light, and with just one strike..."

The squad leader said, his fear still not having subsided: "With just one strike, he broke the South Gate of Anyi City."

The corner of Zhu Jun's mouth twitched.

What is this?

Attacking a city alone?

And broke the city gate with just one strike?

This is simply nonsense.

"Are you scared silly? He, Duan Yu, broke the city gate all by himself?" Zhu Jun expressed disbelief.

But the cavalry squad leader insisted on nodding: "General, this subordinate dares not... this subordinate has absolutely no false words, it is indeed Duan Yu..."

"Enough!"

Zhu Jun waved his hand, directly interrupting the cavalry squad leader's words.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, words that shake the morale of the army should not be spoken in public.

It is enough to confirm that it is Duan Yu who has come.

Zhu Jun's gaze immediately turned to Huangfu Song beside him: "Brother Yizhen, it seems Duan Yu has truly come."

"However, he should not have led a large army here, otherwise we should have received news of Liangzhou sending troops long ago."

"According to intelligence, the Liangzhou army should still be on the way back from the Western Regions to Liangzhou. Duan Yu only brought a few hundred cavalry."

Huangfu Song, listening to Zhu Jun's words, nodded.

That should be the case.

For tens of thousands of troops to return from the Western Regions, it would take at least two months, and then another ten days or so to travel from Liangzhou to Hedong Commandery.

Unless the Liangzhou army under Duan Yu can fly like birds.

Otherwise, it is impossible for them to appear here.

"Brother Yizhen, the opportunity is rare right now, we..." Zhu Jun said, a flash of ferocity in his eyes: "Duan Yu brought troops out of Liangzhou without authorization, which is suspicious of treason. If he were to kill Yuan Shu..."

Huangfu Song nodded.

That is true.

But Duan Yu only brought a few hundred troops right now.

Duan Yu's status is there; as a Liangzhou Shepherd and a Marquis of Ji, it is not considered overstepping to have a few hundred attendants with him.

Even if he left Liangzhou, in this situation, it cannot be considered a major event.

The imperial court cannot turn against Duan Yu just because he brought a few hundred attendants to Hedong Commandery.

Unless...

"Brother Gongwei, if it is just the current situation, it is difficult for us to achieve anything." Huangfu Song looked at Zhu Jun cautiously: "Duan Yu only brought a few hundred troops to Hedong Commandery. With his status, even having a few hundred attendants is a normal situation."

"And..."

Huangfu Song's gaze swept to the cavalry squad leader kneeling to the side, then turned back to look at Zhu Jun: "And he also said that Duan Yu attacked the city alone..."

"This kind of thing is hard to say."

"The Empress Dowager probably won't punish Duan Yu for this kind of thing, thereby forcing Liangzhou into rebellion."

"Unless..."

Zhu Jun raised an eyebrow and continued: "Brother Yizhen, you mean unless Duan Yu kills Yuan Shu and those people in Anyi City?"

Huangfu Song nodded and replied: "Exactly."

Zhu Jun's eyeballs turned rapidly.

Will Duan Yu kill Yuan Shu?

Ninety percent chance he will.

It's not like Duan Yu hasn't done such things before.

"Since that is the case, we should deploy even more now!" Zhu Jun said.

Huangfu Song nodded, agreeing with Zhu Jun's opinion.

"We will send troops to Anyi now. Duan Yu only has a few hundred troops plus the two thousand people outside Anyi City. We have an army of fifty thousand and can surround Anyi tightly."

"Unless Duan Yu doesn't kill Yuan Shu, as long as he kills Yuan Shu and those people in Anyi City, we can capture him!"

Zhu Jun clenched his head.

Huangfu Song nodded in agreement and looked at the sunset on the horizon.

Yucheng is forty miles from Anyi and the road is flat. If they march quickly, they can arrive in about half a day.

However, it is already approaching evening.

If they set off at the third watch, the army can arrive before noon tomorrow, and the speed of the cavalry will be even faster.

Time is approaching evening.

On the Anyi city wall.

After Duan Yu intimidated all the Tiger-Brave troops alone and captured Yuan Shu, the Tiger-Brave troops had all surrendered.

Duan Yu ordered Tie Shitou to lead the two thousand Liangzhou troops outside the city to enter the city.

The corpses in the gate tunnel had been cleared and thrown into the moat outside the city.

Blood stained the entire moat red. ===== CHAPTER 1286 =====
