Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 156 Meeting Yuan Yao on the Road
When Ye Xiao entered Huainan this time, he did not bring Lu Qiling with him, and there were not even many guards, only a hundred armored guards.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Ye Xiao didn't even take the official road. He first detoured by water, and then walked dozens of miles in the mountains and forests before returning to the inhabited land.

In order to control the operation of the intelligence at any time, Ye Xiao only brought Wu Shuo and a few intelligence personnel, and the guard Dubo who was in Langya before went into battle again.

More than a hundred people quietly crossed Donghai City and entered the hinterland of Huainan area under Yuan Shujun's nose.

"My lord, we are already very close to grandpa. According to the round-trip time of the carrier pigeon, it does not exceed a hundred miles."

Wu Shuo got the latest secret letter and estimated the distance between them and Wu Laosi.

Ye Xiao took the secret letter and looked at it casually, immediately regaining his spirits.

"Wu Shuo, how many of us are around?" Ye Xiao raised the secret letter in his hand, showing a smile that gave the guard Du Bo a headache, and this was the rhythm of making things happen again.

"According to the master, according to the distribution plan, there are about 500 people nearby." Wu Shuo is not sure whether this number is accurate, because Ye Xiao asked Zhang Liao's 5000 troops to disperse into Huainan and give them great freedom of movement.

"500 people. This vote, it would be a pity not to do it." Ye Xiao destroyed the secret letter casually, and said with a smile: "You send a letter to everyone, and try to get as many people as possible close to the official road thirty miles ahead."

"It's the lord!" Wu Shuo carried out Ye Xiao's order unconditionally, and took out a whistle that pretended to be the sound of a bird and blew a few times in a low voice.

Several intelligence personnel scattered outside immediately heard the sound, hidden in the jungle to respond to a bird call, and then quickly headed in other directions.

"Go. We must hurry, or the big fish will run away."

Ye Xiao and his group began to move forward under the cover of the forest.

The temperature in midsummer is extremely high, and the moisture in the woods reflects a faint mist in the sunlight.

Yuan Yao set off from Donghai City and returned to Shouchun, accompanied by his fifty cavalry in the form of cavalry, which was Yuan Shu's pro-army, modeled after Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry.

Dozens of Yuan Yao's men roared past the official road. The speed of the cavalry was average, but they ran with great momentum.

When the team came to a bend near the water, Du Bo, a cavalryman with a shape, suddenly raised his hand in front of him. The team slowly slowed down and stopped, and the horses let out a snort of heat, commotion on the spot.

"Your Highness, we still have half a day to go back, so why don't we take a rest soon?"

The Cavalry Dubo found that everyone's horsepower had bottomed out, and in order to ensure safety, he suggested a rest.

Yuan Yao looked around and nodded slightly.

"Get off the horse!" The cavalry governor shouted loudly, rolled off the horse, and then gave the horse a pat on the neck. "Let the horses eat some grass and then give them some water."

Yuan Yao sat under the shade of the tree under the attendant, saw that it was a hot day, and everyone was still wearing armor, and said with a smile: "It's too hot, everyone take off your armor and drink some water."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, but we are fine, and everyone has already gotten used to it." The cavalry governor saluted gratefully, and shouted to his subordinates: "The first team is on alert, and the rest wait and rest on the spot!"

The cavalry of the first team did not complain, pulled the horses aside, unloaded the load on them, and then divided into two sides to guard Yuan Yao and began to guard the surrounding situation.

"As expected of Yuan Shu's knights, elite." Ye Xiao looked towards this side from a distant hillside, and saw that Yuan Yao's followers were so vigilant.

"My lord, the knights with armor are all wearing armor. Although there are not many of them, it is difficult to wipe them out in foot combat." Ye Xiao's guard Du Bo said, because the other party has horses, if Yuan Yao escapes, they will not be able to kill them all. exposed.

Ye Xiao was also a little hesitant, but it was a pity for everyone to stop Yuan Yao after traveling thirty miles so hard.

While everyone was silent, a bird chirped nearby.

Wu Shuo's expression froze, and after listening carefully, he lowered his voice and said, "Master, General Wen Yuan is here! Right in front of us, there are about 200 people."

"God help me too!" Ye Xiao only found 100 people on the road, and now adding 200 people from Zhang Liao, it counts to 400 people. As long as there are no mistakes, Yuan Yao will not be able to fly this time.

"You give him the signal to lead someone to approach Yuan Yao from the left side." Ye Xiao ordered decisively, commanding Zhang Liao to attack from the left side.

"Let's go. Let 150 brothers go around and set traps ahead. Hurry up. I don't think they will stay long."

Ye Xiaomao wanted to retreat from the grass on the hillside, and with the wry smile of the guard Dubo, he began to turn around to the right, intercepting the road that Yuan Yao must pass and began to set traps.

"Your Highness, everyone rest well."

The knight Dubo was a little uneasy, and when he saw that the horses had rested enough, he immediately proposed to continue on his way.

Yuan Yao was also anxious to return to Shouchun, he wanted to talk to Yuan Shu, because he felt a different atmosphere in the East China Sea.

"Let's go, everyone follow!" The knight with a shape struggled to climb on the horse and began to prepare to return.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers armed with ring-shoulders rushed out of the woods on both sides, startling them.

"The first team, block the opponent and buy time for His Highness."

The Knight Governor didn't know where these people came from, but their numbers were enough to threaten them, even though they were all wearing heavy armor.

The first team was his direct brothers. In order to protect everyone, he did not hesitate to send his closest comrades.

"Stop them, it seems that we have encountered a big fish!"

Ye Xiao mixed in the crowd, seeing Yuan Yao was about to get on his horse and run away, he had an idea and shouted.

"Quick! Yigong, don't run away from the thief leader."

Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, but immediately realized that Yi Gong was the name of Sun Quan's general Han Dang, and he knew that Ye Xiao was planning to pretend to be Sun Quan's army again.

After Zhang Liao understood, he hurriedly joined the soldiers and shouted at Yuan Yao.

"Seize the thief leader!"

The first team of knights left their horses, took off the two-handed swords hanging from the horses' backs, and stopped in front of Zhang Liao.

These people are all tall and tall people, and they wield the horse-killing sword with the momentum of one against ten.

The elites under Zhang Liao's command were not for nothing. Each was equipped with the latest hundred-refined steel knives. Seeing that the opponent was wearing heavy armor, they approached at a flexible speed.

"Attack the vital parts where the armor is attached."

Seeing the opponent's appearance, Zhang Liao knew that head-to-head was not an opponent.

The leader of the first team of knights smiled under his armor.

"Southern people, are you playing tricks? They dare to intercept and kill us!"

They are all from the ethnic minorities in the northern part of Youzhou. They are tall, mighty and powerful, and they have always looked down on the soldiers in the south.

However, the next moment, the long smiles of the first team of knights froze.

The southern soldier nimbly paid the price of several people being injured. After approaching them, the ring-shou knife in his hand dealt damage that he regretted.
