Chapter 678

"Finally, I can vent this anger."

At this moment, Huangfu Song felt as if a huge stone had fallen in his heart.

Surrounded by more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thief soldiers in Changshe for nearly a month.

Many soldiers in the city had defected.

Grain and grass supplies were also lacking.

If they continued to be besieged like this, Changshe would fall sooner or later.

"Nanrong, pass this news to the troops in the city to boost morale."

"Also, make sure the soldiers in the city are full today and tomorrow."

"Zhu Jun said in the letter that he can arrive at Changshe tomorrow."

Huangfu Song calculated and said: "I have observed the thief soldiers outside the city for a long time. They have surrounded us for so long that they have relaxed their vigilance."

"This time, we will defeat the thieves in one battle."

"Go and give the order first, let the soldiers prepare more dry grass, and before dawn tomorrow, take more than a hundred warriors down the city to hide in the loopholes of the thief soldiers' encirclement, and then start setting fires."

"Prepare more torches in the city as well."

"Let's give them a fire-burning camp!" Huangfu Song said with sword-like eyebrows: "As long as the thief soldiers' camp outside the city catches fire, we will coordinate from the city, and with Zhu Jun's army responding from outside, we will definitely be able to defeat the thieves!"

Hearing Huangfu Song's plan, Fu Xie stood up hurriedly: "Understood, General, this subordinate will go and prepare."

Watching Fu Xie walk out the door, Huangfu Song lowered his head again.

He set his eyes on another name on the letter.

"Duan Yu..."

Huangfu Li, who was standing beside Huangfu Song, turned his head to look at the letter and asked: "Uncle, has that Duan Ziyi come too?"

Huangfu Song's brows furrowed slightly.

Zhu Jun's letter said that Duan Yu was ordered to come to suppress the thieves, but he had already set out from Luoyang for more than ten days, yet he had never seen Duan Yu's army.

"The Right General of the Household said in the letter that Duan Yu should have come, but Duan Yu's army has never appeared in Yingchuan." Huangfu Song said with a frown.

Huangfu Li, who was only twenty, was wearing a set of black armor, his eyes slightly thoughtful, and then he spoke with a frown:

"Uncle, Duan Yu must not want to rescue Uncle, and is waiting to see Uncle defeated."

Huangfu Li said with an extremely firm tone: "Uncle, think about it, you are a person of Grand Marshal Yuan Kui."

"Last year, Grand Marshal Yuan Kui recommended you as the Administrator of Beidi Commandery just to constrain Duan Yu."

"And this year, suppressing the Yellow Turban thief soldiers, it was also Grand Marshal Yuan Kui who recommended you."

"That Duan Yu is a sycophant of the eunuchs, so naturally he is not on the same path as you. Knowing that you are in trouble, how could he help?"

Huangfu Song did not reply.

But he did not refute either.

This reason was not bad.

If he thought about it from another direction, if it were Duan Yu who was trapped here, Luoyang would definitely tell him not to rescue Duan Yu.

In this way, it made sense.

It's just...

It's just that it's fine if Duan Yu doesn't come to rescue, as long as he doesn't add to the chaos at this time.

"Don't worry about Duan Yu for now, go and prepare to defeat the thieves." Huangfu Song said.

However, although he said so, Huangfu Song, who was staring at the letter, was still a bit puzzled.

Zhu Jun sent people to look for Duan Yu's army, but they couldn't find it several times. Where would Duan Yu's army be?

Anting, dozens of miles away from Yingyin.

This place is located on the west bank of the Xun River, which originates north of Jing Mountain and eventually flows into the Ying River. At the same time, the straight-line distance from this place to Changshe is only a hundred miles.

This Xun River, like the Ying River that runs through the entire Yingchuan, runs through most of Yingchuan.

However, compared to Yingchuan, the location of the Xun River is further to the east.

At this time, a team of thousands of people is moving along the west bank of the Xun River along the water flow.

The team of thousands of people are all riding warhorses.

But they don't look like cavalry.

With the scorching sun on their heads, the many soldiers wearing armor on horseback are sweating profusely.

The leader, Cao Cao, is riding on a horse, wearing a sun hat, looking even darker from the sun.

Gao Shun and Qu Yi are following behind Cao Cao.

The group is walking silently under the scorching sun.

Near dark, walking along the Xun River to a huge river bend, Gao Shun, who is half a position behind Cao Cao, suddenly raises his arm.

The many soldiers behind stop their steps little by little when Gao Shun raises his arm.

With no sound behind, Cao Cao, who is almost cracking from the sun, turns his head to look at Gao Shun and asks with pale lips: "Are we here?"

Gao Shun nods silently.

"Everyone dismount and set up camp, light fires and cook food. Pass the order down, after nightfall, no one is allowed to light up fire easily; violators will be dealt with by military law."

Gao Shun says loudly.

The messenger passes Gao Shun's order accordingly.

Seeing Gao Shun nod and say they are here, Cao Cao also lets out a long breath and hurriedly turns off his horse.

While dismounting, he keeps muttering:

"Ziyi let us come here to set up camp, but didn't say what to do."

"This journey took such a big circle and walked for half a month; this is too difficult." Cao Cao has a bitter face.

Cao Cao was dark to begin with, and he has become even darker in the past half month.

And it is a shiny black.

Qu Yi, who turned off his horse, looks at Cao Cao and smiles.

Half a month ago, Cao Cao and Duan Yu set out from Luoyang together.

Cao Cao originally thought he would go out from Xuanyuan Pass with Duan Yu and then head straight to Yingchuan.

But just after coming out of Luoyang, Duan Yu gave an order that no one could understand.

Duan Yu first led all the cavalry to take Hulao Pass instead of Xuanyuan Pass.

But Duan Yu, who took Hulao Pass, did not reveal his specific itinerary.

As for him, he was directly ordered by Duan Yu to take Xuanyuan Pass, but not straight to Yangdi, the administrative center of Yingchuan.

Instead, he went south along Yangqian Mountain, walked through Xiangcheng, and then circled most of Yingchuan.

As for the destination.

The location Duan Yu set for him was the south bank of the Xun River west of Changshe.

At this time, Changshe is being besieged by Yellow Turban thief soldiers.

Coming here, Cao Cao can understand that the general meaning is related to the Yellow Turban thief soldiers in Changshe.

But specifically what to do, Duan Yu did not say.

"General Cao, the Marquis gave me a brocade pouch before leaving, telling me that after arriving at the destination, I should let General Cao open it, and then he will know the intention of coming here."

Gao Shun and Qu Yi come to Cao Cao's side together.

As Gao Shun's voice falls.

Gao Shun, who took out a brocade pouch from his bosom, hands it to Cao Cao.

Hmm?

Cao Cao is stunned.

A brocade pouch?

Cao Cao, who blinks his eyes, reaches out to take the brocade pouch.

"Good fellow, is this Duan Ziyi so mysterious now?"

While speaking, Cao Cao opens the brocade pouch and takes out a piece of silk filled with words.

As soon as he opens the brocade pouch, Cao Cao sees Duan Yu's handwriting.

: Aman, seeing the words is like seeing me. If you have arrived at the Xun River, set up camp on the spot. Remember to be on the west bank of the Xun River. In addition, send soldiers to explore the situation towards Changshe. As for what to do next, as long as Aman knows the situation in Changshe, he will know it himself.

Looking at the content on the letter, Cao Cao blinks his small eyes, with a confused look.

What does this mean?
