Chapter 314: Chenggao Meeting (Part 1)
On the official road leading from Guandong to Luoyang, a carriage was slowly moving forward surrounded by guards.
Xun Yu was sitting in the carriage, sitting still, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
The carriage didn't know how long it had been driving, and it stopped abruptly.
Hearing the creaking sound of the wheels, Xun Yu opened his eyes and asked slowly, "Zilian, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Wen Ruo, we're here!"
Cao Hong opened the curtain carelessly, and said to Xun Yu inside.
Xun Yu hummed: "This Chenggao alliance must be no small matter. The lord has told me before leaving that you should not cause trouble, and everything will follow my orders later, you know?"
Cao Hong was a little dissatisfied: "Understood, Mr. Wen Ruo, if the lord is not here, you are the lord."
Among Cao Cao's clan's confidantes, Cao Hong is quite loyal. Not long ago, Chen Liu was defeated. Cao Cao was separated from the generals in a hurry, and his horse stumbled. Cao Cao has always been very worried, so he asked Xun Yu to restrain him.
Xun Yu stepped out of the carriage and sighed slightly when he saw the formation in the direction of Hulao Pass. The Hulao gate was closed and the door was opened, and there were more than a thousand soldiers standing in two rows on the left and right, each of them was tall and majestic, wearing armor and holding a weapon in his hand, full of energy.
And above Guancheng, there are banners and flags, and well-trained crossbowmen hold rhubarb crossbows that are as strong as three-stone bows. The sharp crossbow arrows deter evil-minded people.
"General Chariot, you've achieved great success." Xun Yu sighed softly.
Cao Hong snorted and said angrily, "Mr. Wen Ruo, sooner or later our Cao army will be stronger than this."
"Haha, Zilian, I believe in you." Xun Yu patted Cao Hong's shoulder with a smile, then walked forward, strolling in the courtyard.
"You are being polite, sir. I am getting off the chariot to join the army, Jia Xu, and I am here to welcome you by the order of the chariot general." The rather fat Jia Xu stepped forward and cupped his hands to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu returned a salute: "Xun Yu in Xiayingchuan, I came to the alliance at the order of my lord Cao Cao. I have met Mr. Wenhe. Please say hello to General Cheqi for my lord."
Jia Xu's eyes lit up: "Oh? But I don't know what is the relationship between Mr. Wen Ruo and the Eight Dragons of the Xun family?"
"All are uncles of the clan, what Yu Zhi has learned is very insufficient."
"It turns out that you are from a famous family, no wonder you are so gracious, please come in quickly." Jia Xu invited.
Xun Yu and Jia Xu walked into the Hulao Pass side by side. Jia Xu said to Xun Yu consciously or unconsciously, "I heard that Xun Gongda, the servant of the Yellow Gate, is Mr. Wen Ruo's nephew?"
Xun Yu smiled slightly: "Gongda is his nephew, but he is eight years older than my uncle."
Jia Xu nodded slightly: "The general appreciates Gongda's talent, and now he is the chief of the general's mansion, Mr. Wen Ruo, why don't you join my lord Liu Yuqing?"
Xun Yu was slightly surprised: "Gongda has already defected to General Chariot? It's a pity." Xun Yu has the ability to understand people, and he highly respects the talents of his elder nephew, but the two are good at different directions. Xun Yu He is good at handling official documents and deliberating government orders, while Xun You is good at making ingenious plans and has outstanding tactical ability. After Xun Yu defected to Cao Cao, he always wanted to recommend his nephew to Cao Cao, but unexpectedly he was appointed by Liu Ye, and he was officially the head of the general's chariot and cavalry. History, so Xun Yu felt sorry.
"Ah, I'm just talking nonsense. It's a blessing that Gongda can join General Cheqi's command to show off his strengths." Xun Yu said it was a pity in front of Jia Xu, and suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly explained.
Jia Xu smiled but said, "It's nothing, everyone is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, working for the emperor, Gongda advises the chariot general, and Mr. Wen Ruo works for Cao Mengde, it's the same."
Xun Yu nodded and smiled: "Exactly, we are all Hanchens."
Suddenly a soldier ran over and bowed to Jia Xu, "Mr. Wen He, Cheng Yu, the envoy of Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, has arrived."
Jia Xu nodded, then turned to Xun Yu and said, "Mr. Wen Ruo, I have to receive envoys from princes, please sit down for a while."
Xun Yu expressed his understanding: "Mr. Wen He can do as he pleases, don't worry about XX."
Jia Xu bid farewell to Xun Yu and walked out of the camp gate. From a distance, he saw an eight-foot-tall scribe approaching him, with a solemn expression and a strong sense of oppression. With such a height, Jia Xu couldn't help being surprised.
The tall scholar took a step forward and said loudly, "Cheng Yu in Xiadong County, named Zhongde, met Mr. Wen He."
Jia Xu laughed twice, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand: "So it's Mr. Zhongde, please come in, General Che Qi is busy with political affairs, and it will come in a few days."
With a face on his face, Cheng Yu cupped his hands and strode into the pass. He was surrounded by several guards who followed him. It is not known whether those guards were protecting him or Cheng Yu was protecting these guards.
"Under Yuan Benchu, governor of Bohai County, Bohai Chief Shi Fengji arrives."
"Under the command of Han Wenjie, the governor of Jizhou, and the governor of Jizhou, Shi Jushou."
"Under the command of Gongsun Bogui, the prefect of Beiping, Guan Jing, the chief historian of Peiping, has arrived."
Princes from all walks of life heard the news and sent envoys after hearing Liu Ye's words. In addition to the above-mentioned confidantes of the princes from all over the world, there were Kuai Yue under the command of Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, Tian Chou under the command of Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou, and King Kong Rong under the command of Beihai Kong Rong. Xiu, Mi Zhu under the command of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, Zhou Xin under the command of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, Xu Jing (the elder brother of General Xu Zijiang) under the command of Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, and others came one after another.
Jia Xu was in charge of arranging this matter. After busy work, he managed to appease the aides under the command of various princes and made all the preparations.
As for Liu Ye, it was long overdue.
Boom!
Five hundred iron cavalry rolled out like a torrent, shaking the ground. These cavalrymen were all wearing armor, even when they stepped off their horses, they were wearing horse armor. They turned out to be a rare heavy cavalry.
Horse armor is extremely rare, even if Liu Ye wiped out Guanluo, Yongliang and Liangzhou plus Sili Xiaowei's department could collect more than 500 pairs of horse armor.
Guan Hai broke away from the queue, rushed out holding a Liu character flag in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"The chariot general is here!"
Surrounded by five hundred armored cavalry, an eight-foot-tall general with a sharp-edged complexion walked out slowly.
Feng Ji, who was born in Yuzhou, had a good relationship with Xu Jing, and said softly, "Brother Wenxiu, you and Brother Zijiang are good at looking at each other. I don't know what General Liu looks like?"
Xu Jing carefully studied Liu Ye's face, his expression gradually surprised.
Seeing the change in Xu Jing's expression, Xun Yu, Feng Ji, Kuai Yue and others had their own thoughts.
"Brother Wenxiu?"
Xu Jing looked surprised, and then said in a low voice: "The chariot general is no small matter, he is a world-class hero, with the ambition to rejuvenate!"
Feng Ji frowned, while the others had complex expressions.
