Chapter 1065: Not a kind-hearted person

Soon, Zhao Yun notified Gu Yi of this news.

Upon learning that Yuan Shao was going to pass through here and deal with them, Gu Yi felt a bit of a headache.

This Yuan Shao was not a kind-hearted person; he had to be dealt with cautiously. Gu Yi realized the threat Yuan Shao posed and urgently needed some reliable strategists to help him formulate countermeasures. He knew this was an emergency, so he immediately summoned his strategists to hold a meeting and discuss.

Gu Yi stood in the center of the conference room, looking solemnly at the strategists in front of him; they were all experienced and wise talents.

He cleared his throat and began to speak: "Strategists, we are facing a severe situation. Yuan Shao is going to pass through here, and we must find a way to deal with him. He is not a kind-hearted person; we must treat him with caution."

The atmosphere in the conference room became tense; everyone knew this was an important task related to the safety of their homeland. Gu Yi continued: "I hope everyone can propose countermeasures as soon as possible. We need to fully understand Yuan Shao's action plan and the strength of his army. If anyone has any good suggestions, feel free to bring them up."

The strategists present began to communicate with each other, offering their opinions and suggestions one after another. Some suggested sending spies deep into the enemy army to understand their specific action plans; others advocated strengthening the city wall defenses to try to withstand Yuan Shao's offensive; still others suggested cooperating with other forces to jointly resist Yuan Shao's aggression.

Gu Yi listened quietly to everyone's suggestions, thinking about their feasibility and risks.

The meeting lasted for several hours; finally, Gu Yi announced the end of the meeting and instructed everyone to act quickly according to the results of the discussion.

"Young Master Gu!" Just as the meeting ended, a young man in a green shirt walked up to Gu Yi; this was one of his personal guards, Huang Zhong.

"Do you have something?" Gu Yi looked at Huang Zhong and asked suspiciously.

Huang Zhong bowed and said: "I have already found out Yuan Shao's whereabouts."

Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked: "And now?"

"Now Yuan Shao is indeed here, and we have already successfully approached Yuan Shao's camp. We only need to wait until tomorrow night, and we can leak his whereabouts." Huang Zhong replied in a calm tone.

Gu Yi nodded and said: "Then prepare for a night raid tomorrow; do not disturb Yuan Shao's army."

Huang Zhong nodded and then left.

Gu Yi looked at his back, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

The night of the second day, the moon rose, and the entire sky was illuminated in silver-white.

Huang Zhong, with dozens of personal guards, arrived silently near Yuan Shao's camp.

They hid in the woods, watching Yuan Shao's camp quietly.

"Report!"

Suddenly, someone ran over from the distance, knelt beside Huang Zhong, and reported: "Reporting to my lord! Our side has detected that tonight Yuan Shao's camp is brightly lit, and there is also noise coming from it; it seems many people are drinking and eating meat."

Huang Zhong furrowed his brows and said: "It's so late, and Yuan Shao hasn't rested yet?"

"Yes!" The man replied respectfully: "This subordinate has already ordered the brothers under my command to monitor Yuan Shao; if we find Yuan Shao drinking and eating meat, we will immediately report to my lord."

"Hmm! Go!" Huang Zhong waved his hand to dismiss him.

Huang Zhong looked at the other brothers and said: "Brothers, you also go and investigate Yuan Shao's camp!"

His brothers received the order and left on horseback one after another.

Huang Zhong waited in place for a long time, but there was no sign of anyone returning; he suddenly felt somewhat worried in his heart.

He thought to himself: "Could it be that my brothers are all dead?" He thought this, and then began to fly toward Yuan Shao's camp.

At a distance of five or six hundred meters from Yuan Shao's camp, Huang Zhong stopped and began to observe the situation of Yuan Shao's camp carefully.

He watched for a long time and finally saw quite a few soldiers in armor patrolling.

Seeing these soldiers, joy appeared on Huang Zhong's face. He hurriedly dismounted and then sneaked toward Yuan Shao's camp.

His movements were very concealed, almost without attracting anyone's attention.

At this time, Gu Yi also followed; his peripheral vision caught Huang Zhong's movements, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He followed behind Huang Zhong and also sneaked over quietly.

"Eh?" Huang Zhong suddenly exclaimed.

He turned his head to look at Gu Yi, his face full of shock. Because he discovered that Gu Yi was actually less than two hundred meters ahead of him.

"My lord, why are you here? I hadn't discovered you yet!" Huang Zhong hurriedly cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Gu Yi laughed and said: "Brother Huang Zhong, I also just arrived here, and you discovered me. You are truly amazing!"

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Not at all, not at all. Isn't this all thanks to you, my lord? If it weren't for your reminder, my lord, I'm afraid I would have been exposed long ago."

Gu Yi waved his hand and smiled: "I was just saying it casually. I am going to enter Yuan Shao's camp now; are you willing to go with me?"

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "I won't go to add to the trouble; you go!"

Gu Yi patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and said: "Brother Huang Zhong, take care!"

"My lord, take care!" Huang Zhong responded with a bow.

Gu Yi, with thirty or forty personal guards, sneaked into Yuan Shao's camp.

"Soldiers, you have worked hard! Tonight I will treat you brothers to some good food and drink!" Yuan Shao said heartily.

He led several thousand soldiers under his command, set up tables and chairs around the large tent, and feasted to their hearts' content beside the bonfire.

Yuan Shao looked at the performance of these soldiers, and his mood was also very pleasant. Although these people were only his private soldiers, they were true warriors who genuinely wanted to be loyal to him, Yuan Shao.

Just as they were eating and drinking, dozens of black-clad masked men suddenly descended from the sky.

"Ah!!"

"There are assassins!"

Yuan Shao's subordinates immediately became vigilant, picking up their weapons one after another and aiming them at the black-clad masked men.

"Who are you people?"

"Are you here to kill our lord?"

"We will fight you to the death!"

Those soldiers shouted angrily, drawing their sabers one after another and rushing toward the black-clad masked men.

These black-clad masked men were all masked, and their martial arts were superb; they quickly beat those soldiers to the ground.

Those soldiers lay on the ground, wailing in pain; some had their legs broken, others had their ears cut off, and some even had their heads chopped off directly. ===== CHAPTER 1066 =====
