Chapter 492: Yuan Shu Flees

"Why hasn't Ji Ling come back?"

Yuan Shu sat on the carriage and asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, perhaps there are a lot of enemy troops. General Ji Ling is a general of our army, and he probably will be back soon." Yang Hong comforted.

At this moment, a scout sentry flew over and shouted: "Your Majesty, General Ji is urgent!"

Before Yuan Shu could order, Yang Hong went up to meet him and stopped him.

"General Ji sent you back, what's the matter?" Yang Hong asked.

"Yang Changshi, Your Majesty!" The scout was quite tired from running back and forth, a drop of sweat dripped down his nose, he took a breath, and said, "General Ji led his army to chase after Xiahouyuan's army, and led his army to fight against it, but Cao Bandit unexpectedly I had been prepared for a long time, and when the two armies were fighting, I suddenly led the army to fight out, and now General Ji has fallen into a bitter battle."

"What?" Yang Hong was taken aback, and hastily grabbed the palm of the detective, and said in a low voice, "Do you want someone to rescue General Ji?" Although Yang Hong was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and repeatedly framed Yan Xiang, but at this moment, life and death had come. At this critical moment, Ji Ling is currently the only No. 1 general in Yuan Shu's army. If Ji Ling is defeated, it will be hard to say in the future.

"General Ji said that His Majesty and others should go first, and the two armies will join forces in Lujiang County later."

Yang Hong nodded, and waved his hand to signal for Tanshao to go first. But Yuan Shu saw Yang Hong and the two whispering in the carriage, and said impatiently: "Yang Changshi, what General Ji told you, you should tell me."

"Your Majesty." Yang Hong rode his horse to the side of the carriage: "General Ji is now fighting with Cao Jun to break the throne for His Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, go first. When we arrive at Lujiang County, General Ji will join us."

Yuan Shu nodded, with a worried expression on his face, he said, "Okay, since General Ji said so, then I will go ahead."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Yang Hong comforted, "General Ji is a world-renowned brave general, and he has 10,000 troops under his command. Even if he is fighting Cao Jun, even if he cannot win, it will be no problem to retreat completely."

"En." Yuan Shu nodded, and waved his hand to signal the convoy to move forward.

"The whole army advances to Lujiang County, hurry up!" Prince Yuan Yao ordered.

Under the urging of Yuan Jun's soldiers around, the convoy began to march slowly reluctantly, but the speed was not high, and Yuan Shu had no choice but to let it go, just drinking the honey water brought out from Shouchun City, Chat to relieve fatigue.

The convoy traveled less than ten miles, and two rows of soldiers stood up on both sides of the road, and a military flag with the word Cao was suddenly inserted in the middle of the road.

The carriages and horses in the front row were taken aback and stopped hastily. Yuan Shu didn't care about spilling the honey water in his hands, but just looked intently.

"hey-hey!"

Cao Hong stood in the middle of the road with a broadsword on his shoulders and his whole body draped, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and more soldiers stood on both sides of the road, looking aggressively at the convoy in front of him.

"Kill the false emperor Yuan Shu, and snatch the enemy's food, grass and equipment!" Cao Hong raised the large sword in his hand, and shouted loudly, and the five thousand Cao troops under his command roared like tigers, their eyes brightened, and they rushed forward.

Back then, Cao Cao subdued millions of Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou and formed the basis of his own army, that is, the Qingzhou Army. This time Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Huainan, mostly Qingzhou soldiers.

Qingzhou soldiers were originally yellow scarf bandits. They were born as thugs for many years and were greedy by nature. After seeing Yuan Jun's huge grain, grass and gold, silver and cloth piled up on the convoy, they were already greedy. After hearing Cao Hong's order, how can they still Unable to hold back, he immediately killed it like a tiger descending a mountain.

"Run away!"

"Cao Jun is here, everyone run."

When the grooms, servants and palace servants in Yuan Jun's convoy saw Cao Jun approaching, they all looked terrified, turned around and ran away regardless of their belongings.

"Hey hey, where are you going!"

A Qingzhou soldier with a round waist and thick shoulders dashed up, stopped a panicked palace servant, and then suddenly slashed out. The palace servant screamed and lay limp on the ground.

"It's a pity, such a little beauty." The Qingzhou soldier shook his head, but soon regained his energy, brandishing a long knife and looking at the lock of the big box.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the lock was slashed open. Qingzhou soldiers couldn't wait to open the box, only to find that it was full of silk and satin cloth. He grabbed a handful excitedly, and his satisfaction was beyond words.

"Hey, you can make a fortune now!"

"kill!"

Qingzhou soldiers rushed into Yuan Jun's chariots like wolves and tigers, hacked and killed, and then burned, killed and looted, but instead of stopping them, Cao Hong laughed.

"You can hide some of these things and take them home later." Cao Hong shouted, "But it's only 20% at most, and the rest will be handed over to the lord, you understand?"

"No!" Qingzhou soldiers were even happier after hearing Cao Hong's promise.

But Cao Hong was thinking in his heart: They keep 20%, I will take another 10%, and the remaining 70% will be given to the lord, which is enough.

Don't look down on Cao Hong, but he is actually quite shrewd in his heart, especially good at making money, he can be called the number one person in the Cao clan.

Cao Hong's wealth is known to everyone in the Wei state. Even Cao Pi, who was later established as the heir of the king of Wei, once asked this uncle to borrow money. But I don't know whether Cao Hong has a cramp in his head or loves money like his life, so he didn't agree.

It is conceivable that Cao Pi, who was able to frame his younger brother Cao Zhi, had no big eyes. He held a grudge against Cao Hong's refusal to borrow money. After he became emperor, he would have Cao Hong imprisoned. It is estimated that Cao Hong will have to go to prison, and give up his life and family wealth to Cao Pi.

Encouraged by Cao Hong, the already greedy Qingzhou soldiers became even more presumptuous, wantonly killing Yuan Jun's soldiers and robbing the belongings in the box.

"His Majesty!"

A group of Yuan Jun pulled their horses and fled, and suddenly there was a commotion of carriages and horses. The horses in front of Yuan Shu seemed to be also startled, and they neighed and were about to run, pulling Yuan Shu forward and galloping for several miles. Feeling terrified in the carriage, he wanted to stand up and grab the reins of the horse, but just stood up with great difficulty, but the wheels ran over a stone, the carriage jolted, and Yuan Shu fell suddenly.

"Oops."

"His Majesty!"

There was a loud cry from behind the carriage, Yuan Shu stretched out his head and looked back, only to see Yang Hong galloping towards him with his horse, grabbed the reins of the carriage, and finally stopped the carriage.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Yang Hong panted.

"It's okay." Yuan Shu coughed a few times, finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
