Chapter 578 Central Plains Turbulence
"Three hundred and one?" Cheng Yu whispered, "What does this mean?"
The official said, "This may be the name of the man in black."
"You've seen someone's name taken as 321." Cheng Yu scratched his beard and said, "This may be their code name, 321, that is to say, there may be 300 people in front of him, all of whom are such people in black. When there are so many people in black in the city, and the soldiers guarding the city are not aware of it."
"Your Excellency, this is also found from the man in black."
Cheng Yu picked up the weapon handed over by the soldier, and his face showed a cold face. The assassinations in the city were too frequent, otherwise he would not have openly dispatched an army to completely close the gate to search.
Seeing this weapon, he has basically determined where these people come from. Xiliang Army, yes, only their soldiers will use these strange weapons. It is undeniable that such a weapon is extremely lethal. Once hit, it will cause the wound to bleed constantly and not be treated in time. There is only one way to die. At the same time, weapons such as crossbows, sleeves and arrows were found on the man in black, which is well done.
"Your Excellency, what should I do?" The official asked.
Cheng Yu sneered and said, "Since you are here, don't leave. Go out the elites in the city and be sure to catch all the people in black."
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. Not only is the official being assassinated, but every time a man in black is caught, the officials and generals in the city will usher in bloody revenge. Their assassinations are ubiquitous. A general died in his **, and the assassin hides under the bed.
"Surround the Xianlian Pavilion, and you can't let a person go away. Order the soldiers to find out the man in black even if they dig three feet of the ground, and lead the army to the Xianlian Pavilion with me to search." Cheng Yudao.
Xianlian Pavilion is the property of the Xiliang Army. It is not a secret in the Han Dynasty, but the princes everywhere have acquiesced to his existence. Just like the Xianlian Pavilion, the princes also have a variety of industries in the long-term placement. If Jia Rong is off because of a Xianlian Pavilion and cut off part of their wealth, not only the princes are unhappy. Yes, the family under his command will also have opinions.
Surrounding the Fairy Love Pavilion seems to be nothing, but it can intensify the contradictions between the two sides. Now Cao Cao and Jia Rong have a secret alliance.
Xianlian Pavilion is heavily surrounded. Cheng Yu, led by soldiers, hurried in. Most of the people who can enter and exit Xianlian Pavilion are dignitaries in the city. Who will buy things here, unless their heads are caught by the door.
The shopkeeper of Xianlian Pavilion is a big fat man with a little bloated face, always with a faint smile on his face. He looks like a standard businessman. There are many such businessmen in Yanzhou.
But at the moment when he saw Cheng Yu leading the soldiers to break into the Xianlian Pavilion, the smile on his face restrained. With a serious expression, he came forward and said, "Your Excellency, what's the matter? Is it possible that someone has broken the law in the Fairy Love Pavilion?"
Cheng Yu didn't answer and ordered, "Search, be sure to find unknown people." Even Cheng Yu did not dare to openly claim that there were people in black in Xianlian Pavilion. He knew that the power of Xianlian Pavilion existed when Cao Cao had not ruled Yanzhou. He was very qualified, and the shopkeeper was bold and had a lot of contacts with the officials in the city. It was unwise to offend him. It was better to search directly and not find other reasons. It's not too late to apologize.
Seeing Cheng Yu's domineering and domineering, the shopkeeper's face immediately pulled down. In terms of status, he is not as good as Cheng Yu, but don't ignore the power behind the Xianlian Pavilion. There are branches in all states and counties. How can he be afraid of Cheng Yu?
"What does this mean, adult? Xianlian Pavilion has always followed the rules and has never caused any trouble in the city. Aren't adults afraid of Cao Gong's punishment? The shopkeeper said harshly.
Cheng Yuli ignored it. Seeing that several guests wanted to leave, he shouted coldly, "Don't let anyone leave. You can leave after the search."
The shopkeeper knew that his identity was not enough. He was about to go upstairs to invite the characters behind him to come out, but he was stopped by Cheng Yu. This search of Xianlian Pavilion is quite a big deal. Cheng Yu doesn't want to make any mistakes. If he can't find anything, Cheng Yu will definitely be blamed. Once there is indeed a man in black in Xianlian Pavilion, Cheng Yu will be meritorious. Even if you take the opportunity to flatten the Fairy Pavilion, there will be a reason to explain.
The soldiers in the army, no matter what kind of fairy love pavilion you are or the biggest businessman, just carry out the order and detain the shopkeeper aside.
"Lord Cheng has such a great official prestige. Do you really think that our Xianlian Pavilion is easy to bully?"
Seeing the person who came, Cheng Yu smiled and said, "It's a joke. I can't do my duty. I hope you can forgive me."
The bloated shopkeeper is just the open-faced operator of Xianlian Pavilion. In fact, he is secretly controlled by others, and this man is also the best among the lone wolf soldiers. He has a lot of contacts with dignitaries in the city, and also has a great reputation in the city. Cheng Yu naturally does not want to be guilty.
"Oh, Lord Cheng, what's the matter? How can you be so popular?" The Lone Wolf Soldier asked relentlessly, "The things in Xianlian Pavilion are very precious. If there is any loss, you will be responsible for everything."
Seeing that Cheng Yu is so strong, the lone wolf soldier has to say so. There is no way. This is in other people's territory, but no matter how capable he is, what's the use?
"Don't worry, after Mr. Cao comes back, I will definitely make it clear." Cheng Yudao.
Half an hour passed, and the searched soldiers came back dejectedly. In the Xianlian Pavilion, they did not find anyone other than the maid. Some guests were also searched, and there was nothing suspicious.
Cheng Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and looked at the lone wolf soldier. He knew that this character was not as simple as the surface. He must be an important figure in the Xiliang Army. He wanted to arrest him and torture him severely. He didn't have to worry about not getting the trace of the man in black, but after thinking of the consequences of doing so, he sighed and arched his hand. He said, "It's annoying."
The situation in the city has not been alleviated by Cheng Yu's search. The officials in Yanzhou knew that Xianlian Pavilion was the property of the Xiliang Army, and the lone wolf soldiers did not think of this. They would definitely not hide in the Xianlian Pavilion.
Knowing that he had unintentionally caused a disaster, Cheng Yu was not discouraged. Compared with Cao Cao's punishment, the man in black was more responsible. The officials and generals were constantly assassinated, and there was an increasingly fierce posture. How bad the impact was. Some officials even took care of illness at home.
In Jingzhou, Kua Liang was assassinated three times in a row and suffered some injuries on his body. However, only two people in black were killed, and all the rest fled. Once they escaped, these night people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No matter how they searched, they could not find a trace. Liu Biao, like Cheng Yu, fell into a big numbness. In annoyance, the death of the man in black led to endless revenge.
The war in Qingzhou was in full swing, and Yuan Shao personally led 20,000 troops to help. Cao Cao couldn't do anything, and the man in black in Yanzhou could not be solved, so he had to retreat in a hurry.
Zhao Yun led a 10,000 army and rushed to Youzhou. Huang Zhong had already sent people to respond.
Gongsun Du in Liaodong, ceded the land and said that he did not listen to the dispatch. These are all obvious reasons. In fact, any prince of the Han Dynasty has Han in his heart, and these excuses can become the reason for going to the army. As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it will not follow. Jia Rong also knows this truth.
Before leaving the army, he must persuade Gongsun Du to surrender, but Gongsun Du refused with a tough attitude.
Gongsun Duyi was not afraid. How powerful Gongsun Zan was in those years, he still could not let him give in. In his eyes, Xiliangjun and Gongsun Zan's men were not far different, just for their own interests.
He openly resisted the persuasion letter of the Xiliang army. In order to show his mind, he even killed the messenger sent by the Xiliang army to kill the sacrificial flag.
If you look at the whole world and dare to do such a thing openly, I'm afraid that Gongsun Du is the only one. With some troops in his hand, he is arrogant. Even Cao Cao dares not openly kill the messengers of the Xiliang Army.
Huang Zhong was so angry that he gathered his army and killed the land of Liaodong aggressively.
Weilan has lived in Youzhou for generations and has a certain understanding of the geography of Liaodong. He was appointed as the vanguard of the army, leading 3,000 troops, opening roads in the mountains, and building bridges in the water, preparing for the army to attack Liaodong.
The princes of the world are being worried by the people in black who appear in the land. The action of the Xiliang army to attack Youzhou has also been automatically filtered. In their opinion, there is no suspense about the Xiliang army's attack on Liaodong. Since the Xiliang army went to the battle, it has won more and lost less, not to mention the unknown Gongsundu in Liaodong.
In Chang'an City, a magnificent carriage was driven out, surrounded by dozens of bodyguards. The momentum was quite huge, and what made the people pay more attention was that this convoy drove out of the official road in the city, which was even more eye-catching.
Xu You sat in the carriage, and the old god was there. He enjoyed the current feeling very much. When he came to Chang'an, he was criticized too much, and he was detained in the Liangwang Mansion for a few months. In order to repay the money, Xu You was tired. At this time, he realized what was really debt-free and light, and his whole body was comfortable.
"Your Excellency, we have walked out of Chang'an City." The general stood outside and said respectfully.
Xu You really wants to go back and experience that feeling again.
" Hurry back to Jizhou. The lord is still waiting for our news."
"No." The general held boxing. He didn't know how Xu You let King Liang finally receive them, and how he walked out of Chang'an City so gloriously, but he couldn't stop his admiration for Xu You. A big man is a big man. Wherever he goes, he will get good treatment.
Looking at the bustling Chang'an City, Xu You was very impressed.
