Until it was dark, Jia Kui was stunned by the news from Chihou. Yangliangju was empty, and tens of thousands of Yuzhou disappeared as if the world had evaporated. The squadron led people to search the place twenty miles around yangliangju, but there was no trace of Yuzhou army. The garrison of Gushu County, more than ten miles west of yangliangju, also did not see any trace of Yuzhou army.

In Suiyang City, in the prime minister's residence, Jia Kui walked back and forth in the assembly hall like an ant on a hot pot. Tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops were suddenly destroyed, which made him feel uneasy. Yuzhou army's action is too normal. First they march slowly, then they attack yangliangju suddenly. Just when everyone thinks Yuzhou army is going to attack Suiyang, they suddenly disappear. What is Kong's intention?

After getting the news of the disappearance of the Yuzhou army, Jia Kui had sent someone to the guards of all the counties in the state of Liang, ordering all the cities to close their gates. Without his order, no one could send troops out of the city, in case the Yuzhou Army played any tricks. But even so, Jia Kui's uneasiness did not decrease by half.

At this time, it was three o'clock, but Jia Kui was not half sleepy. He also called all the generals together to discuss the affairs of the Yuzhou army. Now in the assembly hall, Liang prime minister Shi Caishen, chief General Sima Xing, chief General Jia Gong, and chief General Ding Yao of peiguo were all present, but after a long discussion, they didn't come up with a reason.

Just at this time, there was a rapid sound of footsteps outside the prime minister's residence. Jia Kui frowned. Just as he was about to get angry, he heard the urgent report from his own soldiers outside the hall: "prime minister, Captain Zhang of Nanmen garrison is asking for a meeting outside, saying that there is an urgent military situation report!"

The soldier's words let Jia Kui in the heart a tight, even busy way: "quickly pass him in!"

A moment later, Nanmen Xiaowei Zhang Ji rushed in and said in a loud voice: "prime minister, no, there is an urgent messenger from Qiao County outside the city."

"Messenger for help!"

All the people were surprised when they heard the speech. Jia Kui stood up and said, "are you sure it's the messenger of Qiao County?"

Zhang Xiaowei said: "the general dare not go all over the prime minister. This is the token sent to the city by the messenger. After the general got it, he ordered the soldiers to pull it up to the city floor with a hanging basket. The messenger was exhausted and covered with blood, so the general ordered the soldiers to carry it to the prime minister's residence. He would bring the token to the Prime Minister first."

With that, the captain took out a dark token from his arms and handed it to Jia Kui.

Jia Kui knew the token was true without looking at it. Less than a hundred miles from Qiaoxian to Suiyang, the messenger was able to run to Tuoli with blood all over his body. In addition to running in a hurry, it seemed that there were pursuers to stop him. In this way, something must have happened in Qiao County, isn't it...

Jia Kui felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. Just here, the bloody messenger was carried in by soldiers. Jia Kui looked at the messenger and was shocked. It turned out that he was a personal commander of Cao Hong, the prefect of Qiao County. His name was Cao Zhi, and Jia Kui had seen him before.

Sure enough, as soon as the messenger came in, he saw Jia Kui and said, "Jia Guoxiang, we've all been deceived. The main force of the eastern expedition army suddenly appeared under Qiao County. Now 100000 troops have surrounded Qiao County, but they haven't led 50 cavalry to break through. They were intercepted by the eastern expedition army, and all 50 brothers died before they broke out."

With that, Cao Zhi took out a tube of mail from his arms and struggled to deliver it to Jia Kui. His soldiers quickly took it and delivered it to Jia Kui.

Jia Kui quickly opened the letter, the contents of which made him like a bolt from the blue. The letter for help was actually written by Cao Hong himself, and also stamped with the seal of his prefect of Qiao County and general Dangkou.

Cao Hong said in his letter that this morning, the Yuzhou army, which had been marching slowly a few days ago, suddenly sped for tens of miles and arrived at Qiao County in the afternoon. Then, the army was divided into three groups, setting up camps in the south, North and west of Qiao County, and sent thousands of cavalry across the river to control the west of Qiao County.

Here, we have to talk about the surrounding terrain of Qiaoxian city. Like Dingtao, Qiaoxian city is built by water. However, the river of Qiaoxian county is in the east of the city, so Qiaoxian city is also a city with flat land on three sides and water on one side. Now, as soon as the Yuzhou army arrived in Qiao County, they surrounded the city outside the gate of Sanmian City, and then sent cavalry patrols to the East Bank of Guoshui in the East, obviously to trap Qiao County to death.

These are not important. The most important thing is that after the Yuzhou army set up the barracks, the banners of Yuzhou army were not raised in the barracks, but several general flags of "auxiliary General Huang of Zhengdong army", "General Li of ningshuo of Zhengdong army" and "General Han of Guangwu of Zhengdong Army".

Standing at the head of Qiao County, Cao Hong looks at the huge "yellow" flag in the military camp outside the city, and his heart falls into an endless abyss. Doesn't it mean that Huang Zhong is in the Dingtao? Why did they appear in Qiao County, as well as the two deputy generals Li and Han? Whose are they?

Cao Hong quickly recalled the information he got from Cao Cao about the expedition to the East. Among the generals under Huangfu Chaobo's command, the only one with the surname of Han should be Han Siam, the thief of Baibo. What about Li? Cao Hong's impression is that there are two generals under the command of Huangfu Chaobo, Li le and Li Li in Jizhou, but they are not the generals of Huangzhong? Why did it appear in Yuzhou?Can it be that the Yuzhou army deliberately played the banner of Huang Zhong to confuse himself? While Cao Hong was hesitating, suddenly the pro guard next to him called out: "general, there's an enemy coming from the opposite side. It seems that he should have come to check the intelligence of our city."

Cao Hong raised his eyes and looked down toward the city. Sure enough, there was a group of cavalry on the opposite side. Behind the cavalry were thousands of soldiers. When he looked at the leader, Cao Hong could not help but be surprised that it was Huang Zhong. He could not be wrong. It was Huang Zhong absolutely. You know, of course, when the princes were begging for Dong, Cao Cao Cao and Huangfu Chaobo fought side by side for many times. They were very familiar with Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong's appearance made Cao Hong's last fluke disappear: "it's really Huang Zhong. It's difficult to say that the target of the eastern expedition is Yuzhou, not Yanzhou, but what about the Yuzhou army? Where have you been? "

All of a sudden, Cao Hong thought of a plan to steal a beam and exchange a pillar. The main force of the eastern expedition was in Yuzhou battlefield, while the Yuzhou army was in Yanzhou battlefield. But in this way, did Huangfu Chaobo's army really dare to attack Yanzhou? You know, Cao Hong can see at a glance that the infantry behind Huang Zhong is really elite. After thinking about it, Cao Hong also finds it incredible.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong felt that things had become complicated and confusing. However, he had to send out all the information here, at least let his grandfather know the situation of Qiao County.
