Sun Jian was indeed worthy of his reputation as the Tiger of River East.
He glared and roared,
No one dared to come up!
At this moment, Kong Rong and the others also came up to persuade him."Benchu, Wentai is a feudal lord after all. How can you forcefully search me because of a petty snitch? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this matter gets out?”
The crowd continued to talk, and Sun Jian snorted coldly. Seeing that they didn't make a move, he rode his horse away.
Yuan Shao knew that the Yuan Family's power had already declined. The key was that he had become the Alliance Master this time and had not achieved anything. If he were to forcefully stand out and be opposed by the dukes, then he would truly lose all face.
Thus, although Yuan Shao was unhappy, he could only let Sun Jian leave.
Seeing Sun Jian leave, Yuan Shu sent someone to keep Sun Jian, wanting to promise him some benefits in exchange for the jade seal in Sun Jian's hand.
Unfortunately, Sun Jian had already fallen into a demon's trap for this jade seal. He could even abandon his 10,000 elite soldiers, so how could he be convinced by Yuan Shu? Therefore, the two of them fell out that night. Sun Jian relied on his accumulated prestige and left Si Li, heading all the way to River East.
……
In the northwest of Luoyang, a small group of Western Liang cavalrymen was fighting with a hundred-man Xiongnu army. A carriage beside them was being snatched by the chaotic army. Weapons pierced through it several times, and a woman's scream could be heard from inside.
The person in the carriage was Cai Yan, whom Zhao Yang had sent Dian Wei to find!
"Miss, we're really unlucky. We haven't completely escaped from Dong Zhuo's pursuers, and we've encountered the Xiongnu! Today, I'm afraid we're doomed!”
"Life and death are all fate. It's just that father has no children and only has me as his daughter. If I die, how will father take care of himself?”
"Miss Lan Xinhui, the heavens will definitely not let you die. Someone will definitely come to save you!”
"Silly girl, who would come to save us in this desolate place?”Another female voice sounded, filled with helplessness.
Bang!
Another sharp arrow pierced through the carriage. The girls inside screamed again and hugged each other in fear.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
"Don't be afraid. With your sister accompanying you, you won't be lonely!”
"Sigh, I ran away before I could repay Godfather for raising me. If Godfather finds out, I'm afraid he'll be furious!”
The Western Liang soldiers and Xiongnu were still fighting on both sides.
Dian Wei finally arrived with a thousand cavalrymen!
"That carriage has a pink curtain floating in the air. There must be a woman sitting inside. The Cai Yan that Teacher is looking for might be there!”
Thinking of this, Dian Wei immediately perked up."Follow me, kill these people and save that carriage!”
Dian Wei roared and immediately urged his horse to charge forward. He quickly approached and waved his halberds. No one could stop him from the left and right. He quickly arrived beside the carriage!
With a thousand soldiers under his command, he had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. Very soon, he killed all the Xiongnu and Western Liang soldiers!
"Is Miss Cai Yan inside?" Dian Wei asked.
"Yes, who are you?" Cai Yan didn't know whose hands she had fallen into, but she wasn't a person who liked to lie, so she immediately told the truth.
"That's great! My master sent me to look for Miss. Now, I can finally go back and report!”
"Who is your teacher?" Cai Yan asked in surprise.
"My husband? Zhao Yang! Zhao Yang, the strategist under Lord Cao!"
"Zhao Yang?" In the carriage, the three girls looked at each other with blank faces, indicating that they had never heard of Zhao Yang's name.
The carriage started to move. Cai Yan lifted the curtains and looked for a while before heaving a sigh of relief."Fortunately, they are heading to Luoyang. They are not Xiongnu people or Dong Zhuo. It should be the Eastern dukes who sent people to pick us up!”
"Sister is indeed the number one talented woman in the capital. Her reputation is so great that even the dukes came to the wilderness to find you. I'm afraid she has that kind of interest in you, right?”
"Don't spout nonsense. It's so embarrassing to be heard by others!”
Outside Tiger Cage Pass, the dukes were still stationed outside. They had not retreated for a long time, and no one knew what they were planning.
Inside, Cao Cao felt that he had plenty of troops, money, and food. He also had the support of Zhao Yang, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei. He felt proud and couldn't help but have the intention to comment on the heroes. Thus, he drank wine in satisfaction while calculating the people he had seen along the way.
Zhao Yang was not as relaxed as him.
Ever since he officially took over the position of Chief Military Advisor,
Zhao Yang was racking his brains to plan for Cao Cao's future.
"Military Advisor!" Zhao Yun rushed over excitedly." All the captives have been reorganized. Including Dian Wei's thousand men, we have forty thousand cavalrymen and fifteen thousand infantrymen. In total, we have sixty thousand soldiers!”
"60,000 soldiers?" Zhao Yang revealed a satisfied smile." Not bad, not bad. Train more these days and try to familiarize the soldiers as soon as possible.”
As soon as Zhao Yun left, Xu Rong rubbed his eyes and walked over."Advisor Jun, counting the supplies is really not suitable for me. My head is getting bigger. Several people have counted it a few times, but in the end, everyone is wrong. The only thing we can be sure of is that our rations have exceeded 300,000 dan!”
A stone of grain could feed a person for two months.
Now Cao Cao had sixty thousand soldiers under his command.
300,000 dan of grain sounded like a lot.
However, if he really calculated, he could only eat for a year.
One year later, how would he raise provisions?
Zhao Yang fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Dian Wei finally returned.
Zhao Yang couldn't care less about anything else and quickly went out to welcome Dian Wei. After exchanging some pleasantries, he asked him to rest,
He walked to the front of the carriage with some anticipation in his heart.
The curtain was lifted, and the maidservant was the first to walk out. She held the woman's hand, and a beautiful woman came out from behind.
Zhao Yang praised her in his heart when he saw her elegant demeanor, quiet temperament, and beautiful face.
"Young miss is Cai Yan?"
"That's right. You're the Zhao Yang who sent people to save us?”Cai Yan examined Zhao Yang for a moment before revealing a faint smile.
Zhao Yang nodded and led the way, planning to help her settle down.
"Wait for me!"
Another woman alighted from the carriage behind. Zhao Yang turned around and saw that this woman was extremely beautiful. She had an impeccable face and was naturally charming. She was extremely moving.
" This is…" Zhao Yang looked at Cai Yan in confusion.
"Her? She's Wang Yun's adopted daughter, Diao Chan. She escaped with me this time.”
It was Diao Chan!
Zhao Yang looked at Dian Wei with satisfaction.
He did not expect that after saving Cai Yan, he even obtained Diao Chan by accident!
These were all beauties of the current generation. Cai Yan's talent, Diao Chan's beauty, obtaining these two women, it was not a wasted trip here.
Zhao Yang walked in front, thinking about how to take them down.
Touching the jade pendant on his chest, Zhao Yang had an idea.
Seeing that Zhao Yang only looked at her a few more times and did not look infatuated, Diao Chan could not help but be a little surprised.
