(Author's note: Originally, this chapter was reserved for tomorrow, because these two days were busy and there was less time for writing.) But when I went home today, I found that a book friend gave me a valuable monthly pass, as well as a reward of 10,000 starting coins, in view of the fact that this book friend has also rewarded several times before, I hereby make a statement, thank you very much for the reward of the book friend of the "Burning V Expedition" and the love for this book, I will redouble my efforts to update, and write a readable article in the most haode state. So, add another chapter today! ）

Tian Yu, Tian Chou and the others all sighed for a while, looking lonely, but they couldn't do anything.

Yan Rou glanced at everyone, and continued: "Now that Cao Cao is dead, the fall of the Cao clan is already the trend of the times, 100,000 Xianbei iron cavalry fought and the whole army was wiped out, although we have 30,000 troops in Jicheng, but I ask you, if 100,000 Xianbei iron cavalry are coming to the city, can you annihilate them in one fell swoop?" ”

Tian Yu, Tian Chou and the others all shook their heads vigorously, sighing to themselves.

Yan Rou said: "We have been in the border for a long time, although we often fight with Xianbei, Wuhuan and others, but there are indeed few troops as strong as the regent Zhang Yan's subordinates. In the past, Yuan Shao led a large army to cross the Yellow River in the south, wanting to compete with Zhang Yan for hegemony in the Central Plains, but he ended in failure, and even he himself died miserably on the battlefield and was ruined. Now that Cao Cao also died at the hands of Zhang Yan, isn't that enough to explain something? We are not Cao Cao's old ministry in the first place, and there is no need to give our lives for Cao Cao at all. Today, Xiahou Yuan acted unfairly and beat me, if he angered him again, I was afraid that his head would fall to the ground! ”

As soon as these words came out, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others all talked about it, and after a while. Tian Yu said on behalf of everyone: "General Yan. What do you say we should do now? ”

Then. Yan Roucai took out the letter he had just received, handed it to Tian Yu, and said: "This is written by Jia Xu, the regent's henchman, and it is clear that the regent is gathering a large army to pacify the entire Hebei, and Youzhou has become an obstacle on the way for the regent to pacify Hebei." Jia Xu knew that we were not Cao Cao's henchmen, so he specially sent someone to deliver this letter. As long as we surrender and offer the heads of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others, everything will be blamed for the past, and we will also be promoted to the rank of knight. I plan to surrender, if any of you are willing to fight side by side with Xiahou Yuan and jointly resist the Han Heavenly Army, please stand up immediately, I, Yan Rou, will not embarrass him, I can only say that I have mistaken his brother! ”

Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others circulated the letter one after another, and most of them were illiterate. It was read out by Tian Yu, and everyone listened. Zuihou unanimously said that he would follow Yan Rou's footsteps, surrender to Zhang Yan, and offer the heads of Xiahou Yuan and others.

So, everyone planned carefully together, and then they dispersed and immediately took action.

That night, Tian Yu brought people to the barracks, gave good wine and meat, and comforted them with good words, hoping that these soldiers would forget the unpleasantness of the day, and the two armies would be able to maintain friendly relations in the future.

Xiahou Yuan's subordinates saw that the Youzhou army took the initiative to show goodwill, so they had nothing to say, but they were still arrogant and very arrogant.

In the eyes of these subordinates, Cao Cao is dead, and the only person in the army who can take on the heavy responsibility is Xiahou Yuan, so Xiahou Yuan is about to become the new lord, and they already know it, so Xiahou Yuan's subordinates are also a little proud, and look down on these surrendered Youzhou troops from their bones.

Tian Yu and the others have been accompanying Xiahou Yuan's subordinates to eat and drink, and they have given up the more comfortable military camp and let these people move in to rest.

That night, almost all of Xiahou Yuan's subordinates were so drunk that they didn't wake up, and after coming to the new military camp one after another, they fell asleep.

However, in the darkness, a pair of devil's claws were quietly stretched out to them, these people were as drunk as dead pigs, Tian Yu led the people to tie up all these people in three times and divide them by two, and then collectively beheaded them in the camp.

Poor Xiahou Yuan's 8,000 soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died tragically under the butcher's knife.

As soon as the matter on Tian Yu's side, Tian Chou immediately launched an operation, he led his troops to surround the government office, and then killed the gatekeeper, broke into the government directly, and killed people when he saw them.

In front of Cao Cao's mourning hall, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others were taken aback, and when they saw Tian Chou leading people in, the butcher knife in his hand was stained with sticky blood, and they knew that something was wrong.

"Tian Chou! Do you dare to rebel? Xiahou Yuan fought from the ground and shouted.

Tian Chou waved the long sword in his hand and said sharply to Xiahou Yuan: "On the order of the regent, come to arrest the thief, take down all Xiahou Yuan and the others for me, and correct the law on the spot, leaving no one behind!" ”

At the sound of the order, a group of people rushed up, raised the butcher knife in their hands and began to slash and kill indiscriminately.

Because this is Cao Cao's mourning hall, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen and others did not carry weapons, and the guards outside were also killed, when Tian Chou commanded the soldiers to rush up, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Zhen instinctively stood up to protect Xun You and Cheng Yu, and asked Xun You and Cheng Yu to escape through the side door quickly.

However, Tian Chou's soldiers took a step earlier and directly blocked the side door, Xun You and Cheng Yu had nowhere to escape, and they were unarmed.

Cao Zhen was seriously injured and could not fight, and was soon hacked to death by this group of soldiers.

On the contrary, Xiahou Yuan was very brave, although he was unarmed, he grabbed the knife empty-handed, and after carrying the knife, he began to slash and kill, cutting down the soldiers who surrounded him one after another.

Tian Chou and the others were not opponents, they retreated one after another, and then asked people to shoot Xiahou Yuan with bows and arrows.

Xiahou Yuan used the knife to dial the gear for a while, but the arrows were too dense, and as soon as the arrow was hit, the movement slowed down, and then the arrows came one after another, Xiahou Yuan's body was full of arrows, fell to the ground, looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, and died in sorrow.

Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was dead, Tian Chou walked to Xiahou Yuan's side with a knife, raised the knife and cut off Xiahou Yuan's head, and the rest of the soldiers cut off the heads of Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu.

At this time, Yan Rou was carried to the mansion and saw that Xiahou Yuan and the others were already dead. He ordered people to put all the heads of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu in wooden boxes. Then send someone to send it to Nanpi. and dedicate the Book of Descent.

……

Jizhou, Nanpi.

Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Zhang He, Gao Ran and others rested in Nanpi, and a few days later, Zhang Yan came to Nanpi with 500 relatives.

Zhang Yan summoned all the generals to discuss sending troops to Jicheng to eliminate the remnants of Cao Cao's Zuihou. Jia Xu hurriedly persuaded Zhang Yan not to send troops, and said that the letter of surrender from Youzhou would arrive in a few days.

Zhang Yan then dispelled the idea of sending troops and waited in Nanpi City for a few days temporarily.

Another three days passed. Things are really the same as Jia Xu said, a messenger from Jicheng came to see Zhang Yan with four wooden boxes, and presented a letter of surrender, using the heads of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu to show his sincerity.

Zhang Yan ordered someone to open the wooden box, personally witnessed the heads of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Xun You, and Cheng Yu, and then opened the book, and after reading it in a hurry, he said to the messenger: "Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others have merit in adapting to the situation and killing Xiahou Yuan and other traitors. I will be rewarded for my own performance. Go back. Inform Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others that I will lead the army to Jicheng in a few days and personally meet these heroes! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan asked people to offer 3,000 gold, and asked the messenger to bring it back first, which was regarded as a heavy reward for Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other Youzhou troops.

As soon as the envoy left, Zhang Yan saw that Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, Zhang He, Gao Ran and others were covered with a layer of clouds on their faces, so they asked the reason, and then learned that they were like this because they lost money in a bet with Jia Xu.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also praised Jia Xu for pacifying Cao Cao's remnants of Jicheng without a single soldier.

So, on the same day, Zhang Yan dispatched a large army to Jicheng.

Zhang Yan led Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals to let Zang Ba stay in Jizhou, and Kong Rong, Wang Xiu, Kan Ze and others assisted Zang Ba to pacify Jizhou.

A few days later, Zhang Yan led the army to Jicheng, and Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others rushed to Jicheng ten miles away to greet him.

Zhang Yan met Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others for the first time, and his impression of these people was very good, especially Tian Yu, who was young, brave and resourceful, and was also trusted by Yan Rou.

When Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others saw Zhang Yan, they were all taken aback, they never thought that Zhang Yan was such a young and promising person, and they appreciated Zhang Yan's approachability and amiability very much, and inadvertently, they were captured by Zhang Yan.

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, suddenly a fast horse rushed over from the direction of Jicheng, and the person who came to Yan Rou in a panic came to Yan Rou in a panic, and immediately said: "General Qiyu, the big thing is not good, Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun led 100,000 iron horsemen to make a comeback, and the troops have come to Jicheng City." ”

This news was like a bomb, and it exploded in everyone's ears with a "boom".

Zhang Yan frowned even more, it seemed that the trip to Youzhou was not so smooth.

Immediately, Zhang Yan ordered the whole army to go to Jicheng, and sent a messenger in advance to let him go to see Badun, saying that Youzhou had changed banners, and the regent Zhang Yan came, asking him to withdraw his troops and return to the Wuhuan garrison, otherwise, he would take extraordinary measures against the Wuhuan people.

The messenger received the order and immediately went to Jicheng to meet Badun. Zhang Yan led everyone to set off later, and sent Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Gao Lan to the battlefield with 1,000 cavalry each.

On the way to Jicheng, Zhang Yan asked Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou about the situation here, Youzhou is the border of the Han Dynasty, the situation here is almost the same as that of Bingzhou, for decades, the border troubles have been continuous, Wuhuan and Xianbei are the main objects that cause border troubles, in recent years, the Wuhuan people have gradually become stronger, under the leadership of Badun, they drove away the eastern Xianbei, from the west of Liaoning to the vast grassland outside the upper valley, all over the footprints of the Wuhuan people.

The population of the Wuhuan people has also increased suddenly in recent years, and if the Wuhuan people are not completely subdued, I am afraid that the border troubles will never be lifted!

After hearing this, Zhang Yan suddenly felt the importance of this trip, and secretly thought: "It's a big deal, just like dealing with the Xianbei people, draw a scoop according to the gourd, and wipe out these 100,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen together!" Let them know that our great Han Tianwei ......" (to be continued......)
