"He Shuai is personally opening:

Chen Fei, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Sima Liangfeng of Chen State, raised more than 20,000 troops to raid Huang Shao and our troops. We were unprepared and were defeated in the battle. Now we are only trapped in Pingyu. Now we send our second brother to break through the siege and ask for help. We hope that He will rescue Pingyu's siege with elite troops!

Liu Pi bowed his head for a hundred times! On the night of April 22, the first year of Xingping.”

In the early morning of April 23, He Yi, who was guarding Shenyang City, received a letter of help from Pingyu.

He looked at the somewhat ragged parchment and looked at the sender who was kneeling in front of him:

"Are you Liu Pi's second brother?"

Although they are both Yellow Turban bosses, they are relatively independent of each other and are not that familiar with each other.

Liu Zhao's hair was disheveled, his face was covered in smoke, and there was a clear knife wound on his left arm. After a night of escape, he was still bleeding. Seeing He Yi suspected, he nodded quickly:

"That's right! A mother and Mr. Huang are now in danger. I beg Mr. He to send troops to rescue him!"

He Yi nodded, believing in his identity, but his brows were still frowning:

"How many troops are there in the enemy? Huang Shao and Liu Pi each have more than 10,000 troops and cities as a support. How could they be defeated so thoroughly within a few days?"

Liu Zhao answered in a serene way:

"Did Marshal He forget that after the winter of last year, Chen Fei defeated Marshal He Man with only more than a hundred men?"

It would be fine if he didn't mention this. When He Man's death was mentioned, He Yi felt anger burning in his chest.

He punched the table, trembling the wine utensils:

"This bastard! I will sooner or later peel him off and vent my hatred! Let me talk about it, how have your brother and Huang Shao lost these days?"

Liu Zhao fell into painful memories, and even his expression became ferocious:

"Four days ago, my brother received a letter of help from General Huang Shao, claiming that Ruyang was surrounded by the Chen army. My brother did not doubt that he had, and personally led the eight thousand main forces to attack. Unexpectedly, these were all enemies' tricks!"

His body trembled:

"Before we saw Ruyang City, we were ambushed in a dense forest! Fortunately, my brother turned around and withdrew his troops immediately so that he would not be wiped out! But most of the eight thousand troops have been lost, and now it is impossible to leave the city and fight again no matter what!"

He Yi was observing his expression throughout the whole process, and he had already believed it in his heart.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, finally making a decision:

"Brother Liu Zhao, it's not that I, He Yi, is ruthless and unrighteous. It's really that Chen Fei is tricky. I only have 20,000 troops in my hand. I just suffered a crushing defeat last month. Now even if I attack all of them, I may not be able to save Pingyu. You... might as well stay with me. Don't worry, although I can't save Liu Pi, I will definitely keep you safe!"

Liu Zhao suddenly choked up:

"I shouldn't have concealed He Shuai treats me like this, but my brother's life is already in the hands of Chen Fei, so he lied about the military information!"

He Yi was stunned:

"Why did you say this?"

Liu Zhao squeezed his eyes and actually shed two lines of tears:

"I didn't break through, but Chen Fei let me out of the city with the purpose of sending a letter to He Shuai!"

He Yi's face changed drastically, and the other leaders in the hall couldn't help but draw out the big sword, trying to kill the traitor with one knife.

"slow!"

He Yi reached out to stop:

"Let's hear him finish."

Only Liu Zhao continued:

"The enemy's troops are not only 20,000, but I estimate that it is at least 50,000! They are all ambushing the only way to Pingyu. If He Shuai leads his troops to rescue, he will definitely go but not return!"

The leaders who drew their swords took a breath, then pushed the sword into the sheath weakly and sat back to their respective seats.

He Yi gritted his teeth:

"Chen Fei... He actually has such a force? Even if we fight to the death, we have absolutely no chance of winning!"

The leader under his command was even more panicked:

"Master, what should I do?"

Someone suggested:

"It's better to go to Jiujiang to join Yuan Shu!"

"Yuan Shu is strong and powerful. We have done so many things for him. At least we can give us a place to stay!"

He Yi was about to nod, but Liu Zhao denied it:

"No! Chen Fei had long expected that we might surrender to Yuan Shu, so he also set up an ambush on the way to Jiujiang. Moreover, the journey to Jiujiang is long and we have no food and grass supply. I'm afraid that most of the troops will be lost before we reach Jiujiang! At that time, Chen Fei only needs to send hundreds of cavalry to defeat us and capture us!"

Hearing his rational analysis, the Yellow Turban Generals stopped talking.

He Yi seems to have lost his judgment:

"Then you said...what should we do? Are we going to wait for death here?!"

Liu Zhao pondered for a moment and finally looked up:

"We can go to Nanyang!"

He Yi's eyes lit up:

"You said... Nanyang? Why didn't I expect it!"

The generals in the room slapped their thighs one after another:

"Yes! Nanyang has many forests, which is a good place for us to escape!"

"Yes, yes! Liu Xiang and Kuai Yue are not powerful characters, we can occupy the mountain and become king!"

He Yi took two quick steps in the hall and finally stopped:

"I'm sending the whole army to pack up immediately. Tomorrow morning, all men, women, young and old will evacuate westward!"

-

Almost at the same time, Langling County, located between the junction of Runan and Nanyang, welcomed more than 400 cavalrymen.

"Tell the general quickly!"

Where have you seen hundreds of light cavalry in a mere border county?

The defenders on the city wall suddenly had a riot, and dozens of arrows aimed at the city wall:

"The person who comes will stop! Report the name and origin, otherwise you won't blame the ruthless bow and arrow!"

An answer came from the city soon:

"I am Guo Jia, the general under the command of the prefect of Yingchuan, and I come here to see General Li!"

-

"Are you a child of the Guo family in Yangdi?"

When Guo Jia took Yang Zhi to Langling County Government, he soon saw the person who was talking here, Li Tong.

Guo Jia, who was prepared, was of course quite clear about the person he talked to in front of him. He bowed slightly, which was considered a salute:

"Yangdi Guo Jia, who has no name at all, must have never heard of it."

Li Tong bowed and returned the gift, and the two sat down with their homes:

"Although I am from Jiangxia, Jingzhou, I have many friends in Yuzhou. I heard that last year, Mr. Guo, with his fair share of 3 inches of tongue, rode alone in half a month to persuade the eleven and three counties of Yingchuan to submit to the prefect Chen. He can be called the contemporary Zhang Yi and Su Qin resurrected."

Guo Jia smiled slightly:

"It turns out that the general has heard of Guo, but this matter is not my contribution. It is the military force of Chenfu. The counties are just following the situation."

Li Tong didn't care about his modesty and asked directly:

"Mr. Guo is not riding alone this time. I don't know what hundreds of light riders outside the city want to do?"

No mature leader could allow hundreds of fully armed soldiers to enter his city. Although Li Tong had four or five thousand soldiers stationed in Langling, he did not dare to be so arrogant.

Guo Jia did not answer directly, but instead took out a wooden box with a smile:

"I heard that General Li defeated He Yi last month and captured thousands of his general Wu Ba. In the entire Yuzhou, except for Chen Fujun, Yingchuan, there is only General Li. Guo came to Langling this time just to congratulate him. This is a congratulatory gift specially selected by Chen Fujun. Please check it out."

Li Tong looked at the wooden box and did not open it:

"I have never met Mr. Chen before, how dare I accept the gift?"

Yang Zhi, who was standing behind Guo Jia, couldn't help but shout:

"My family is rewarding you with face, don't be rude!"

Guo Jia waved his hand a little angrily:

"I promised not to speak, and I will definitely punish you after I go back!"

Yang Zhi shut up embarrassedly and continued to be Guo Jia's guard.

Guo Jia adjusted his breathing:

"This is a vulgar person. General Li should not be accustomed to it. General might as well open it and take a look. If you like it, you can accept it."
