Chapter 1483

In the early morning, when the sunlight of the sunrise fell on the city wall of Mayi County, the garrison standing on the city wall saw the dust and smoke stirred up in the distance.

Based on years of experience, Military Officer Li Qun immediately understood that this was a large group of cavalry heading toward Mayi County.

Li Qun's father was originally an old soldier from Bingzhou.

Ten years ago, Li Qun's father saved two teenagers outside Pingcheng, one named Zhang Liao and the other named Zhang Xun.

It was precisely because of this that the Zhang clan, in order to repay, helped to operate, and only then did Li Qun have the position of Military Officer today.

Before Zhang Liao and Zhang Xun went to Liangzhou, they originally wanted to let Li Qun go with them.

However, Li Qun was already married at that time, and his parents were old and could not go to Liangzhou, so Li Qun declined.

"Quick, immediately send someone to the city to notify General Cheng."

Li Qun turned his head and said to the personal guards beside him.

Mayi County official residence.

Cheng Yu, wearing armor, slowly stood up from his seat after receiving the news sent by Li Qun.

The look of determination in his eyes was extremely tenacious.

After taking a deep breath, Cheng Yu walked out of the county official residence in large strides, and then led his personal followers all the way toward the North City wall of Mayi County.

Outside Mayi City.

Yufuluo, leading hundreds of cavalry, had already arrived under Mayi City, one arrow's distance away from the city gate.

Yufuluo, riding on his horse, looked at the flags planted on the city wall of Mayi City.

Three black commander flags of Jia, Li, and Cheng were distributed on the city wall of Mayi.

And on the city wall, Cheng Yu also led his personal followers to the North City and saw Yufuluo standing outside the city.

"General, these Xiongnu cavalry have just arrived, saying they want to see the defending general in the city. The subordinate did not dare to make a decision on his own, so I notified the General."

Li Qun stood beside Cheng Yu, bowing his head.

Cheng Yu looked at Yufuluo outside the city and nodded slightly.

"I am Cheng Yu. Who is below the city?"

Cheng Yu looked at Yufuluo outside the city and asked knowingly.

Yufuluo rode his horse forward one step, distancing himself from Xubugu Duhou and the guards behind him, and looked up at Cheng Yu on the city wall and said: "I am Yufuluo, the eldest son of Chanyu Qiangqu, and the older brother of Princess Suhe and Huchuquan."

"Oh?" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, his face still carrying a mocking expression, and said: "Since you are the Right Worthy King of the Xiongnu, why did you come here? According to the previous arrangement, shouldn't you be near Tanhanshan?"

"I followed my father's order to contain the Xianbei army, but the Xianbei army has already retreated. I am worried about my father's health, so I came to support."

"A few days ago, my father was unwell, and these past few days he has been getting worse. My father asked me to lead the troops."

Cheng Yu on the city wall listened quietly to Yufuluo's words.

Yufuluo's disguise and excuses now seemed extremely ridiculous and full of loopholes in Cheng Yu's eyes.

However, Cheng Yu of course would not expose Yufuluo.

No matter how full of loopholes Yufuluo's excuses were and how ridiculous his acting was, he would let Yufuluo in today.

"Just yesterday, my father's condition suddenly worsened. He is currently dozens of miles away. I am worried about my father's condition and know that the Liang Prince's army is here, so I want to come and seek medicine."

Yufuluo said while reaching out to point at Xubugu Duhou beside him: "This is Xubugu Duhou, my father's most trusted general. General Cheng can ask him."

The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth rose slightly.

A good "most trusted general."

Cheng Yu restrained the arc of his rising mouth and nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect the Xiongnu to have such a filial son. The Great Han has always prioritized filial piety. You are very good."

Cheng Yu pretended to praise and said: "It is rare that you have this heart. Since that is the case, you should enter first. I will naturally look for medicine in the city to treat your father, and you can also notify the subsequent army to station outside Mayi County, and then send your father into the city for treatment."

Yufuluo outside the city gate almost laughed out loud when he heard Cheng Yu's words.

And Xubugu Duhou on the side had an expression that was the exact opposite, with a look of worry hidden in his eyes.

"After entering the city later, pay attention to observing the situation in the city. Don't reveal any flaws and be discovered by the people in the city."

"Also, go and send someone to notify Mr. Guo, saying that he can lead the 20,000 troops under my command to Mayi City."

"According to the agreed time, use fire as a signal to kill into the city."

Yufuluo instructed Xubugu Duhou on the side.

As the city gate opened, Yufuluo rode his horse into Mayi City.

As time passed, the sky was gradually stained with ink.

The 20,000 Xiongnu army moved slowly according to the agreed time, and it was not until the sky was completely dark that they arrived outside Mayi City.

In the city, Yufuluo, who received the news, immediately found Cheng Yu, who was in the official residence.

At this time, Cheng Yu was sitting in the official residence, and there was a candle lit on the desk.

"So the Right Worthy King has come."

Seeing Yufuluo walking into the main hall of the official residence, Cheng Yu put down the document in his hand.

"General Cheng, my father has already led the troops to outside Mayi City. Now I will go to pick him up and enter the city for treatment. Thank you, General Cheng." Yufuluo said to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu shook his head with a smile: "Right Worthy King, you are too polite. This is nothing. On the contrary, Right Worthy King, you are inconvenient to move, yet you still worry about your father from thousands of miles away. Such filial piety and virtue should be publicized."

When hearing the four words "inconvenient to move."

Yufuluo lowered his head and looked at his missing right leg.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes.

This leg... wasn't it a gift from Duan Yu?

After calming his mood, Yufuluo raised his head, said goodbye to Cheng Yu, and then turned around with his subordinates to head to the north of Mayi City to welcome the so-called Chanyu Qiangqu.

And just not long after Yufuluo left, Zhang Liao's grandfather brought several Zhang clansmen from the west wing of the official residence to Cheng Yu.

Seeing Zhang Liao's grandfather, Cheng Yu immediately stood up and bowed to him: "Old Zhang."

"I dare not, I dare not, General Cheng, please get up quickly." Zhang Liao's grandfather said while waving his hand: "According to General Cheng's order, everything is ready, just waiting for General Cheng's order."

Cheng Yu nodded with a serious face: "Cheng Yu, on behalf of His Highness the Liang Prince, thanks Old Zhang for your righteousness again."

From the beginning of formulating the Mayi Plot, the Mayi Zhang clan was an important link.

In fact, the so-called Liangzhou army entering Mayi County seen by Yufuluo and Budugen was just a diversion.

In fact, there were only a few hundred Liangzhou troops who entered Mayi County.

These people entered from the north of the city and exited from the south of the city, repeatedly changing flags, only then did it look like tens of thousands of troops had entered the city.

Although it was bait, it was impossible to use the main Liangzhou army as bait.

With the lesson of the Mayi Plot during the Emperor Wu of Han period, it was impossible for the Liangzhou army to ambush around Mayi County.

Therefore, wanting to completely wipe out this Xiongnu and Xianbei allied force could only start from Mayi County.
