Perhaps because he saw the shocking news, a too bright red color appeared on Ding Shao's thin cheeks. He gasped for a few times, but couldn't speak.

The simple white letter fell from his hand, curled up into a paper roll again, and was driven by the airflow and fell to the ground with the back facing up. Everyone in the tent couldn't help but stare at the faint ink marks on the back of the letter, but hesitated, as if it was not suitable to take it directly.

The military academy that delivered the letter was waiting awkwardly for Ding Shao's next order. No one was able to close the tent he opened when he came in. Lu Yao glanced out and could see a yellow horse that was overturned to the ground a little further away. It was an extremely tall and majestic Dayuan horse. The back thrust was dripping blood from the horse whip, and the mouth and nose were bleeding, and his strong limbs were twitching. The nearly two hundred miles from Yecheng to this place, there was no doubt that this good horse worth a thousand gold had already run away and was wiped out. The rider was also exhausted and was carried by three or five people to somewhere for treatment.

After a while, Ding Shao held the table with his hand and slowly sat back on his seat, with a tired look on his face. He pointed to the letter and said calmly: "Please read everyone, it's okay."

Shao Xu looked at Lu Yao and Ding Miao, took the lead and expanded the letter, and finished reading it in ten lines at a glance.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Yecheng?" Ding Miao asked.

Shao Xu's facial muscles twitched and handed the letter to Ding Miao.

Shao Xu planned with Lu Yao last night, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of Yecheng falling into chaos again, so that Lu Yao could rely on Jizhou to support him and seize Dai County, which had been occupied by the Hu people for many years. For this reason, they have analyzed the situation in Yecheng countless times, whether it was the storm that Lu Zhi had in that place, or how Yang Heng, Li Yun and others fought for the power of Wei County, or the court center to reorganize the situation, or even the next trends of Shi Le bandits... all possible situations were all imagined. But he really didn't expect that it would be like this?

Shao Xu smiled bitterly and said to Lu Yao, "Daoming, when the court heard the chaos in Yecheng, he urgently sent the Minister of Shangshu Youpushe and Yu as the general of the Northern Expedition to seize Yecheng. After Heyu arrived, he begged for the living of Li Yun, Tian Zhen and other generals kowtowed and apologized for guilt. Heyu said kindly to comfort him, promising that they would be rewarded if they had any merits or no faults. At that time, most of the Qihuo occupied by the brothers Tian Zhen and Tian Lan, who were always powerful and thought they were of great achievements, so he sought to Heyu as the prefect of Wei County..."

He turned to Ding Shao: "Governor Ding, please forgive Shao for being irritated. Is your message reliable?"

Ding Shao sighed: "That's natural."

Ding Miao finished reading it soon. He grinned and handed the paper roll in his hand to Lu Yao. Lu Yao shook his head and continued to listen to Shao Xu's remarks: "He Yu, on the grounds of the court, refused to allow it, and only allowed them to choose one of Ji County and Julu County. Tian Zhen then held a grudge and sent someone to assassinate He Yu that night. He Yu was seriously injured and did not die. He fled into Li Yun's camp under the cover of his personal cover. Li Yun and Bo Sheng led his troops to fight against the Tian brothers. The Qihu army killed each other overnight. The war affected the entire Yecheng. The people in Yecheng fled in fear and died and injured. In the early morning, there were less than 10,000 people who survived, and more than half of the soldiers of the Qihu army lost. Tian Zhen died in the chaos, and Tian Lan, Ren Zhi, Qi Ji and others were missing."

Ding Miao forgot his awesome uncle here. He threw the paper roll on the desk and cursed: "Fuck, Yecheng is over!" Such words fell into Ding Shao's ears, so he could not scold him. But Ding Shao could not care about this at this moment.

Within ten months, Yecheng was first mercilessly looted by the bandits, followed by a fire that affected the whole city. When the thieves finally retreated, the beggars who were relying on for their support had an incredible large-scale internal strife, which gave Yecheng and Yecheng military and civilians the last and most heavy blow... In this way, the city has damaged its vitality, and it is afraid that it will be difficult to recover in the next few decades. It was sacrificed by countless brothers and brothers to finally defeat the bandits. Why? People like Ding Miao, who had fought to the death to defend Yecheng, were even more absurd.

Lu Yao and Shao Xu looked at each other.

Both of them didn't know what to say. Yes, Yecheng was indeed in chaos, just as Lu Yao's prediction yesterday. Who could have expected that it would be so chaotic? Lu Zhi, who was afraid of Lu Yao and others, did not come forward, and the troops of the King of Chengdu, who were originally wary of, had no trace. Just to win the position of Wei County Prefect, the leaders of the Queuing Army fought each other, resulting in such a terrible result. Looking back at the last meeting with Li Yun, he was full of confidence from the bottom of his heart, as if the situation was in control, Lu Yao wanted to yell three times to vent.

Shao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something, and hissed and took a few breaths of air conditioning. He leaned against Lu Yao and whispered: "Tian Zhen? Or Li Yun?"

Lu Yao understood Shao Xu's implication: the fire came too suddenly, and there was no sign of any sign in advance. As for the usual impression, although Li Yun and Tian Zhen's charity six-rate relationship were not very friendly, they were together in a foreign land and had more than disputes. They suddenly had such a fierce conflict, and they had to have enough reasons. Hiding deep under the water was probably Lu Zhi's way of turning the world. The question was who he was lurking behind.

But this question is meaningless by this time. Lu Zhi may be Li Yun or Tian Zhen, and he believes that with Lu Zhizhi's ability, it is not difficult to persuade one of these two people. But no matter what, Lu Yao is sure that this result is not needed by Lu Zhi. Because Yecheng is the foundation of the ten-year management of King Sima Ying of Chengdu, Lu Zhi planned to support the prince of Chengdu to retake Yecheng, and then use this as the foundation to combine Hebei's strength to compete with the King of East China Sea. Destroying Yecheng is equivalent to destroying the hope of the King of Chengdu's lineage revival!

While he was thinking about it, he heard Ding Shao's voice sound: "General Lu, your statement of urgent military use just now makes sense. You are worthy of being the best general under the Yue Shi Gong's tent."

Sure enough, since the chaos in Yecheng had resurrected, the governor Ding became particularly attentive. Lu Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not be praised by the envoy. The talent under the command of Duke Yue Shi is better than me, and it is enough to carry a car. If anyone is the first to be the leader and has a reputation that shocks the Han Dynasty of the Huns, it is only Brother Wenhao."

"Cough cough..." Ding Miao couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Daoming, you're welcome. In this Jinyang battle, all the generals recommend you to be the first in your achievements, and even the old subordinates of the lord will admire you."

"Since I have been with Ding Miao, I will call you a virtuous nephew." Ding Shao waved his hand and thought about it, while slowly saying: "Since the Qihuo army suffered heavy losses due to internal strife, the Shile bandits may make a comeback at any time. You can know that if you are not careful in dealing with this at this time, it will be the second Qin Liang Rebellion."

The Qinliang Rebellion mentioned by Ding Shao was a large-scale rebellion initiated by the Tufa tribe of the Xianbei in Hexi in the fifth year of Taishi. This rebellion lasted for ten years and affected the two prefectures of Qin and Liang, causing four officials of the border to die in battle of more than 2,000 stones, and blood flowed from the frontier soldiers and civilians. The Husband of Liangzhou traverses the north, trembling the world, and the government and the country were shocked. At this moment, Ding Shao attached great importance to the severity of the situation compared with the Qin and Liang rebellion.

He stretched out his left palm and counted one by one: "At present, Wang Jun of Youzhou stationed troops in Jicheng, hundreds of miles away; Duke of Yueshi of Bingzhou was newly defeated by the Xiongnu and was resting; the governor of Yanzhou Gou Xi and Wang Mi can fight for the time being, and it is difficult to help... The military and horses of Jizhou are the only force north of the river that can suppress the bandits. Therefore, I can only lead troops to Wei County as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in Yecheng. This is not because your opinion is wrong, but because the situation changes too clearly, which caught us off guard."

Lu Yao said respectfully: "What Uncle Shi said is extremely true. The key to using troops is to make decisions at the right time. There are no certain rules. Slowness and urgency are all for the purpose of killing barbarians and bandits."

Ding Shao nodded, and ordered the waiter to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote quickly. He didn't look up, but kept saying: "By my guess, since Yecheng has reached this point, he is afraid that the time will be delayed this time, and it will not be possible to end in the short term. Tens of thousands of Jizhou soldiers were out in full swing, and most of the troops in each county had been transferred, and the subsequent food and fodder had to be raised one after another in various places. If the Tuoba Xianbei was unstable, it would be a big problem. It is clear that I don't need to hide it from you. Although Jizhou has a lot of military strength, there is no serious lack of experienced senior officers, and no one can take on the responsibility of me, so I can only place my expectations on you."

Ding Shao wrote more than ten lines, put his pen aside, took out the exquisite official seal from the brocade bag on his waist, and covered it upright. He handed the letter with the ink traces to Lu Yao, and said in a deep voice: "Please see, this is my handwriting to the officials of the northern Jizhou officials. What several counties can raise and provide to you are listed in detail. I don't need to know what Liu Yueshi plans for this Tuoba Xianbei sacrifice ceremony. But I have to do what I ask you to do no matter what... Daoming, on this troublesome autumn, the Tuoba Xianbei must not be in chaos, and the Dai County must not be in chaos."

Lu Yao took the letter and took a look, bowing deeply: "Thank you for your help, I am grateful to you. Please rest assured, we will do our best."
