The governor went out to meet him in person.
This was a great courtesy.
Cheng Chong and Lu Bu had to give Ding Yuan face.
They dismounted one after another and entered through the city gate.
The soldiers were stationed on the spot, and there were people in charge of greeting them.
As for Cheng Chong and Lu Bu, as the leaders of the Revolutionary Army, they were directly invited into the Provincial Governor's Office by Ding Yuan.
"Everyone, your arrival has really made this old man ecstatic!”
"Everyone, let me propose a toast to you!”
"To your generosity and righteousness!”
Ding Yuan sat at the head of the table and raised his cup.
Cheng Chong smiled faintly, neither servile nor overbearing.
"The Provincial Governor personally came out of the city to welcome us and gave us such a warm welcome.”
Ding Yuan smiled bitterly.
"It's not an exaggeration at all! To tell you the truth, Jinyang County is already riddled with holes. It has been ruined by those Yellow Turban thieves!”
"If it weren't for everyone's arrival, I would have resigned from my official position and died to thank the world!”
"Out of the fifteen counties in Jinyang County, there are already nine counties occupied by the Yellow Turban.”
"According to the latest intelligence, the Yellow Turban army is divided into three groups. One group leaves Wu County, one goes through Jiexiu, and the last passes through Pingtao. There are more than 30,000 of them in total.”
Cheng Chong raised his eyebrows.
The situation was more serious than he had imagined.
It seemed that the corruption of the Great Han Army was really deep in their bones.
At this rate, without his and Lu Bu's help, Jinyang County might really fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban.
Lu Bu stood up, his eyes cold.
"Don't worry, Provincial Governor. What Yellow Turban Army? They're just a bunch of reckless rebels!”
"Today, I, Lu Fengxian, have brought my troops here to help the Provincial Governor solve his problems!”
"If this bunch of Yellow Turban bandits wants to be ferocious again, they'll have to ask my Heavenly Halberd first!”
Ding Yuan nodded and finally calmed down.
"Then I'll have to rely on everyone!"
"However, there's no need to be anxious. Let's rest in Jinyang City for a period of time and recuperate!”
"The Yellow Turban Army has won successive battles and has been attacking the city. Their morale is high, so it's not appropriate to face their sharpness directly at this moment!”
"It's better to wait for them to be tired before using troops!”
Lu Bu cupped his hands.”
Cheng Chong waved his hand.
"I don't agree."
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Cheng Chong.
His gaze was somewhat unfriendly.
"You don't agree? Hmph, do you have a better idea than the Provincial Governor?”
Cheng Chong spoke calmly.
"The Yellow Turban Army is not a regular army, and most of the canal marshals don't have any military accomplishments.”
"They are indeed winning consecutive battles and their morale is high, but correspondingly, they are also at their most arrogant now. They will definitely be careless and underestimate the enemy.”
"Moreover, they probably don't know that our two armies have arrived, so they naturally won't be on guard.”
"Speed is important in war. This is the best time to launch a surprise attack.”
"We'll leave the city at night and launch a surprise attack on the Yellow Turban camp. In one battle, we can drive the Yellow Turban out of Bingzhou!”
Hearing this, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu were both shocked.
None of them had expected Cheng Chong to have such an understanding.
He hit the nail on the head and pointed to the heart.
For a moment, they fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Ding Yuan raised his head and made the final decision.
"Alright, let's do that!"
Cheng Chong suddenly stood up and pointed at the map.
"The Provincial Governor needs to stay in Jinyang to ensure that the rear is not lost. This night attack can only be done by Feng Xian and me.”
"There are three Yellow Turban armies. The one at Pingtao in the north belongs to me, and the one at Xiu in the south belongs to Fengxian.”
"As for the Wu County team in the middle…"
He smiled at Lu Bu and said softly.
"Fengxian, do you dare to bet?"
Lu Bu snorted coldly without hesitation.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Tell me how you want to bet!"
Cheng Chong said softly.
"Wu County, Ping Tao, and Jiexiu are not far from each other. After we destroy the two Yellow Turban armies in the north and south, they will definitely flee for Wu County!”
"The Yellow Turban Army in Wu County will also be attacked by the rebels and fall into chaos.”
"We can take advantage of the situation and attack from both sides, completely taking back Wu County.”
"This is a bet. Let's bet on who can defeat the target and reach Wu County first!”
Lu Bu sneered.
"Good! I'll bet with you!"
He had boundless confidence in himself!
With his valor, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to destroy the Yellow Turban soldiers in a night raid?
There was no way he would lose this bet!
However, looking at the smiling Cheng Chong, Lu Bu's heart was pounding.
It was as if he had unknowingly stepped into a trap.
"Of course, since we're betting, there must be a prize.”
"If I win, I want your Heavenly Halberd!”
Cheng Chong said softly.
Lu Bu frowned and hesitated.
He didn't expect Cheng Chong to make such a request.
This Heavenly Halberd was a family heirloom left behind by his father.
Furthermore, he had accompanied him on countless battlefields and killed countless enemies. There was already a very deep relationship between him and the halberd.
"Why? Are you afraid of losing?"
Cheng Chong observed his expression and spoke at the right time.
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"What a joke. How could I lose to you?"
"If I lose, this Heavenly Halberd will be yours!”
"But if I win, I want your hundred cavalrymen!”
"Deal!" Cheng Chong clapped his hands and smiled.”
Ding Yuan looked at the two of them betting and did not think there was anything wrong with it. He only thought that the two of them were young and impetuous.
"Haha, since you have such lofty sentiments, then this old man will be your witness!”
"However, the bet is small, but the family and country are important. I hope that the two young heroes will succeed immediately! Jinyang County and Bingzhou will be in your hands!”
"When the two of you return triumphantly, I will report to the Imperial Court and ask for merit for the two of you!”
