Liu Yao led the defeated soldiers and fled in the direction of Qu 'a.
It passed by West Quyang (a county close to Shouchun in the southeast).
Liu Yao's men and horses were exhausted and he was reorganized here.
The county magistrate of West Quyang County came to comfort the army and was forcefully recruited by Liu Yao.
Taishi Ci couldn't bear it and remonstrated," Ming Gong, they are all local people. They don't know the military formation. If Yuan Bing comes after them, they will only die in vain."”
Liu Yao didn't say anything, but his subordinate Zhang Ying scolded,""You don't understand the art of war, so don't talk nonsense. If we don't let them resist Yuan Dynasty's army, how are we going to Qu 'a?”
"What does war have to do with the people?" Taishi Ci was furious. Which military book wrote such a strategy?"
Liu Yao was annoyed and scolded,""Taishi Ci, do your duty as a trusted soldier. Zhang Yingfan will be responsible for the army!”
Taishi Ci was even more disappointed with Liu Yao."Ming Gong, if that's the case, I'm willing to go with these laborers. Otherwise, when Yuan Bing catches up, they'll scatter in a hubbub and won't be able to stop the pursuers.”
Liu Yao didn't stop him." You can go if you want. I won't stop you!"”
Taishi Ci looked around.”
Zhang Yingfan sneered.
Those laborers were meant to be cannon fodder.
And he wanted to cover the rear?
What a boorish man who doesn't know the art of war.
At this moment.
One of the generals stepped forward." Taishi Ci is indeed brave. Zhao Fan from Guiyang, I hope Taishi Ci will cover the rear together!"”
Liu Yao saw that Zhao Fan didn't even address himself as Duke Ming, nor did he address himself as a lowly general. His eyes instantly turned gloomy.
"Since that's the case, the two of you will be responsible for leading the laborers here to stop the Yuan army!”
Liu Yao gave the order and ignored Taishi Ci and Zhao Fan. He only asked Zhang Ying and Fan Neng to discuss the route to Qu 'a.
Sun Jian's nephew, Sun Ben, was currently guarding Qu 'a.
"Zhang Ying, you lead the group and scout out Sun Ben's intentions.”
"If he respects me, the governor of Yangzhou, I won't touch him. If he wanted to disobey orders, kill him!”
Liu Yao said coldly.
Now, all the counties in Yangzhou with soldiers and horses had become independent and didn't listen to orders.
This made Liu Yao very dissatisfied!
He was the governor of Yangzhou conferred by the imperial court!
Not only did Yuan Shu want to fight, but the other counties also dared to disobey his orders!
Just as Zhang Ying was about to set off, a scout reported,""Provincial Governor, the pursuers are here!"
"Taishi Ci, Zhao Fan, stop them!" Liu Yao was shocked. Zhang Yingfan can, let's go!"
....
Liu Yao's remaining soldiers fled in panic.
Only Taishi Ci, Zhao Fan, and a group of frightened laborers were left behind.
When Taishi Ci saw Liu Yao leave, he immediately dismissed the servants."I, Taishi Ci, am not good at judging people and mistakenly thought that Liu Yao was a wise ruler. Today, I can't bear to see the people suffer. Zhao Fan, you can leave on your own!"
Zhao Fan smiled." When I was in Qu 'a, I heard about the reputation of the governor of Yangzhou and came to offer my services. I didn't expect Liu Yao to not recognize capable people and only appoint mediocre people!" I didn't want to follow Liu Yao for a long time. Today, I just took the opportunity to escape!”
"Taishi Ci, I choose my master to serve. Why don't you follow me to Jingzhou? My brother Zhao Fan is now following Jingzhou's governor, Liu Biao.”
Taishi Ci shook his head.”
Zhao Fan sighed. Taishi Ci is loyal and loyal, and I, Zhao Fan, am not a coward. Today, I, a general of Qu 'a, will sacrifice my life to accompany you!”
"You're the one who didn't leave. Don't blame me if you die!" Taishi Ci laughed loudly.”
Just as they were talking.
Zhang Liao led his troops over.
Seeing Taishi Ci and General Qu 'a blocking the way, Zhang Liao raised his saber and asked,""Where is Liu Yao?"
"If you want to ask Liu Yao," Taishi Ci urged, his spear raised,"first ask Taishi Ci's spear!”
"Your soldiers are all gone, why aren't you running?" Zhang Liao laughed.”
Taishi Ci snorted coldly,"Those laborers are only local people, not Liu Yao's soldiers! Look at your armors, you are not Yuan Shu's soldiers. Whose subordinates are you?”
So that was the case.
This person wasn't extremely evil.
Zhang Liao had already seen the fleeing laborers with his binoculars. He was already a little puzzled, but after hearing Taishi Ci's words, he immediately understood and couldn't help but look at Taishi Ci in a new light.
"I am Zhang Liao, the commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers under Xu Xiao, the governor of Xu Prefecture!”
"Yuan Shu and Liu Yao attacked without authorization, causing the people of Yangzhou to be displaced.”
"My lord is the governor of Xuzhou and shouldn't have interfered in Yangzhou's affairs. However, the refugees of Yangzhou cried and wrote a letter, begging my lord to help them recover their homes.”
"My lord couldn't bear it and personally came to Yangzhou to quell the chaos!”
"Now that the lord has led his army to Shouchun, I am in charge of pursuing Liu Yao!”
"Taishi Ci, this general sees your loyalty and doesn't want to fight with you. Tell me Liu Yao's location!”
"As a provincial governor, it is useless to not be able to quell the chaos. It's unkind to drive the commoners to cover up the rear. An incompetent and unkind provincial governor is not worth your service!”
It was true that the people of Yangzhou were displaced.
But the letter was fake.
However…
It was the same as Cao Cao's false edict against Dong.
Xu Xiao forged the sobs of the people of Yangzhou.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to do so.
As for whether Yuan Shu and Liu Yao believed it or not.
That was not important!
Because…
People who were about to die, why would Xu Xiao care if they believed it or not?
Xu Xiao only needed to have a reason to go to court, and it would be enough for him to occupy the position of justice in name!
Zhang Liao's words.
Taishi Ci and General Qu 'a were instantly shocked.
"The governor of Xu Prefecture personally came to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion?”
Although the two of them could not believe it.
However, the sudden appearance of Zhang Liao and 5,000 Elixir Yang Soldiers made them believe it.
Taishi Ci was bewildered." You're right. Who knows if the governor of Xu is just like Yuan Shu and wants to occupy Yangzhou?"”
Taishi Ci had heard about Tao Qian giving Xu Xiao the position of governor of Xu Prefecture in Shouchun.
After all, Shouchun was not far from Guangling.
However, Taishi Ci did not understand Xu Xiao and was expelled by Xu Xiao because of Liu Bei.
They had a preconceived notion that Xu Xiao could not be trusted!
"How can Yuan Shu be compared to my lord?" Zhang Liao said disdainfully. At the beginning of Tao Qian's resignation as governor, Zuo Rong, the prime minister of Xiapi State, Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, Zang Ba and Sun Guan, the commander of the cavalry, did not respect orders.”
"In three days, kill Zuo Rong in Xiapi, kill Zhao Yu in Guangling, and in ten days, destroy Zang Basun Temple in Pengcheng. In a month, all the bandits and bandits in the counties of Xu Prefecture will be eliminated, and the people will live and work in peace!”
"The lord's heart of saving the world can be seen by heaven and earth. How can you slander him here?”
Taishi Ci was speechless.
After a long time.
Taishi Ci gritted his teeth." Even so, I, Taishi Ci, have promised Liu Yao to stop the pursuers. I will not go back on my word. Zhang Liao, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"”
"Stubborn!"
"I was going to pursue Liu Yao, how could I have the leisure to fight with you!”
"Archers, listen up!"
"Yes!"
The shining arrowheads were aimed at Taishi Ci and General Qu 'a.
