Chapter 1143 Yuan Yao and His Companions Arrived in Luoyang

After listening to Ji Ling's introduction, everyone looked at him sideways, and Kong Xin was even more impressed, because Ji Ling's strategy was very similar to the strategy from Luoyang. Although it was not as perfect, it was still very good. After all, Ji Ling is a newbie and doesn't know much about his family's situation.

The strategy coming from Luoyang also covers the deployment and arrangement of troops and horses in Runan, Qiaojun and other counties adjacent to Sun Ce's army. The related troops and horses of Runan's Shenwu Camp and Qiaojun Zhenwu Camp They have all made relevant preparations to deal with a possible attack by Sun Ce's army, and in the later stage they will also take on the task of putting pressure on Sun Ce's army to force him to cease fighting and negotiate a peace.

The counties and counties adjacent to Cao Cao's army will also make corresponding preparations to prevent Cao Cao from fishing in troubled waters. If there is a chance, Cao Cao's army may even launch a large-scale attack in the hope of regaining some territory, so Gun Yu After receiving the military order from Luoyang, soldiers and horses from several states began to gather and prepare.

Eight days later, on February 20, Lu Ling escorted Yuan Yao and his party to finally arrive outside Luoyang City. At this time, Huangfu Chaobo, who had already received the news, had already sent someone to greet Yuan Yao and his party outside the east gate. It was Xu Shu and others who came to greet Yuan Yao and his party.

Seeing someone greeting him at the city gate, Lu Ling quickly turned over and dismounted, then hurried forward and said: "Lu Ling, the Prime Minister of Lujiang County, Xiaguan, has met Master Xu and all of you!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu! Did your journey north go smoothly?" Xu Shu smiled and looked at Lu Lingdao;

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your concern. I escorted General Yuan Yao and his party to Luoyang this time. The journey went smoothly." After saying that, Lu Ling said to Yuan Yao and others: "I will introduce you to Lord Xu later!"

With that said, Lu Ling introduced Yuan Yao and his party to Xu Shu in detail. Xu Shu returned the greetings to Yuan Yao and others one by one. After Lu Ling had introduced all the generals and ministers, Xu Shu said: "Everyone , welcome to Luoyang, Xu Shu has been entrusted by the lord to come to greet you. Everyone has worked hard on the journey. The lord has prepared a banquet in the mansion to welcome you. Please follow me to the Duke's Mansion. "

The palace of the Duke of Tang was already heavily guarded. Two thousand guardsmen had already surrounded the place. Yuan Yao and his entourage entered the palace under the leadership of Xu Shu, and then directly entered the meeting hall. . At this time, Huangfu Chaobo was already waiting in the hall.

After entering the hall, Yuan Yao saw Huangfu Chaobo at the head of the table at a glance. He just raised his head and immediately lowered his head, then took a baggage from the hands of someone next to him and raised it high. He bent down and walked a few steps towards the hall, loudly saying: "The guilty general Yuan Yao pays homage to the lord! This is the thing obtained by the guilty general's father, but the guilty general is too weak to keep this thing, so I will hand it over to the lord. Please, lord." Keep it for you!”

As he spoke, he lifted the bundle in his hand and handed it out.

"General Yuan led his people to surrender. My Lord welcomes it. As for this jade seal, my Lord will keep it for safekeeping. After a period of time, my Lord will send someone back to Chang'an and present it to His Majesty!" Huangfu Chaobo laughed! road;

With that said, he motioned to Dian Wei to take the jade seal, and then said: "General Yuan, please get up!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Although Yuan Yao sneered at Huangfu Chaobo's temporary custody, he still did not show it. In their opinion, no one would hand it over after getting the jade seal.

"I'm here to pay my respects to my lord!"

"At last, I will pay my respects to my lord!"

The two of them immediately came out of the queue and saluted Huangfu Chaobo.

"Both of you, please get up!"

"This is Mr. Yan Xiangyan, my father's number one counselor!"

"Yan Xiang pays homage to the lord!"

"This is Yuan Yao's brother-in-law Huang Yi!"

"The guilty general Huang Yi pays homage to the lord!"

"It turns out that your Excellency is General Huang Yi, so polite!" Huangfu Chaobo looked at Huang Yi with a half-smile but said;

Huang Yi blushed, knowing what Huangfu Chaobo's smile meant, but he was a little at a loss.

Huangfu Chaobo saw this and comforted him: "General Huang, you don't have to be like this. Don't worry about the past!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

"There are also General Ji Ling and General Li Feng who have taken up their posts in Lujiang County and Runan County as requested by the Lord!"

Along with this news, Yuan Yao had indeed left Yuan Shu. The jade seal in his hand, and this time, he also dedicated the jade seal to Huangfu Chaobo.

After receiving the news, Sun Ce was furious. Despite Zhou Yu's persuasion, as everyone in the Tang army expected, Sun Ce was still prepared to send troops to Lujiang under the strong request of Jiangdong generals.

However, as everyone expected, although Sun Ce wanted to send troops, the Wu army had been too quick to protect Zhang in recent years, and Nuo Da's territory needed to be defended, so Sun Ce really couldn't send out too many troops. In the end, Sun Ce found that he had to fight hard. Minato actually only managed to gather an army of less than 80,000 people, but Jiangdong is not stable now. The severe cold army in the south is watching eagerly, and Liu Yao in the west is preparing troops and herding horses, so he really does not dare to send too many troops. In the end, he actually Only 40,000 troops were used to cross the river and go north to Jiujiang. However, among these 40,000 troops, there were 20,000 Sun Ce's most elite soldiers from Jiangdong.
