Chapter 94
Entering the border of Runan, Liu Jin and Cao Cao finally arrived at Shangcai County, the seat of Runan County, after another five days of marching.
Cao Cao arranged for the army to camp outside Shangcai County, and then entered the county with Liu Jin, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei.
When they came outside the prefect's mansion, Cao Cao revealed his identity, and several people were warmly invited in.
Not long after, Zhao Qian, the prefect of Runan, entered in a hurry. Zhao Qian looked around forty, he was not tall, but his head was relatively round. When he came in, he said eagerly:
"Did you come here at this time? The old man has been hanging in his heart these days. Peng Tuo, the son of a turtle, is a god of Japan."
Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei looked confused, what are they talking about.
Liu Jin is happy, and he also met a hot guy.
So he smiled and said, "I never thought that Governor Zhao was from Shu County."
Zhao Qian reacted, and said awkwardly: "Oh, the old man was in a hurry and talked about the dialect of his hometown. Please forgive me, but you have a lot of knowledge."
"Haha, I've heard the Shu County dialect before, and it's quite kind to hear it again."
Liu Jin was a little overjoyed. Every time he heard Sichuan dialect, he always felt an inexplicable sense of joy, which made people feel very happy.
"Haha, that's a good relationship. We'll have a few drinks later, and we'll stay with this old man at night." Zhao Qian was very enthusiastic.
"Ahem, Prefect Zhao, let's talk about the business first, and the business first." Cao Cao felt that if he didn't speak, it would really be a show.
"Forgive me, Mr. Cao. These days, the old man has been restless in his heart. He has been up and down. It is not surprising that he has been looking forward to the reinforcements from the imperial court. He got carried away for a while, so don't blame him." Zhao Qian bowed to Cao Cao.
"Prefect Zhao is being polite, let's talk about the situation in Runan first." Cao Cao returned the salute.
"Alas, in April, the old man led his army to fight Peng Tuo's Yellow Turban Army in Zhaoling. The opponent was outnumbered, and the old man was defeated. If Ru Shui didn't stop him, he might have been killed. "
Zhao Qian's face was a little ugly, but he still explained the matter roughly.
"How many troops does Peng Tuo have? Where is he operating now?" Cao Cao asked.
"Peng Tuo is now active in counties such as Xihua, Zhaoling, Yangcheng, and Nuyang, which are about [-] miles to the north, with a force of about [-]."
"As for the number of troops left in Chen County, I don't know, but I estimate that the total number of troops should be around 15. It's a pity that I only have [-] battle-ready soldiers here. I have enough energy but not enough strength."
Zhao Qian had a bitter look on his face. Facing dozens of enemies, he was still under a lot of pressure.
"Did the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third father not make a move?" Liu Jin asked with narrowed eyes.
"The Yellow Turbans in the east and south were defeated by the Yuan family." Zhao Qian sighed.
Liu Jin was thoughtful. Ruyang County, where the Yuan family lives, is located in the south of Shangcai County. It is understandable that they are responsible for the yellow scarves in the east and south.
It's just that now all the yellow scarves in Runan have gathered to the north of Runan, and if you go further, you will go to Yingchuan. After Yingchuan, you will be Sili, and you will be in Luoyang.
Did all the broken yellow scarves go to Peng Tuo, or did someone deliberately drive them away?
Liu Jin involuntarily glanced at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia also looked at Liu Jin.
The two looked at each other with a lot of meaning in their eyes, obviously they both had their own guesses.
"Cao has brought five thousand elite soldiers here this time, and Fengshen will be here, so I think it's not a big problem." Cao Cao looked calm.
"Oh? The Fengshen general is here, who is the Fengshen general?"
Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Guo Jia involuntarily. He was a frail scholar and skipped it.
Looking at Liu Jin, there is a rich and noble son, probably someone's junior in the court, who came to take credit for it, so skip it again.
Finally, his piercing eyes stared at Dian Wei.
"The Fengshen General is indeed brave. With this burly figure, such a rough face, and such a tough temperament, standing here can make people feel inexplicably at ease. He really lives up to his reputation."
Zhao Qian couldn't help but praise.
"Pfft!" Guo Jia couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Liu Jin was about to cover his face, burly, rough, and sturdy, these words are fine for Dian Wei, but Zhao Qian is praising himself, which is very painful.
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao also laughed, "Prefect Zhao made a mistake, this is the guard of Fengshen General - Dian Wei."
"This is Fengshen General Liu Jin and Liu Ziqian." Cao Cao introduced Liu Jin to Zhao Qian.
"Ah, ha, ha." Zhao Qian smiled awkwardly: "Look at me, I haven't slept well these days, my eyes are blurred."
"Fengshen General is indeed a handsome man, a man of talent, noble temperament, open-minded, extraordinary in martial arts at a young age, and powerful in the world. He is indeed the wishful man in the dreams of countless girls in the big man's boudoir."
"Of course, Dian's guard is not bad. To be the guard of Fengshen General must be very skilled." After Zhao Qian praised Liu Jin, he went on to praise Dianwei.
Liu Jin was dumbfounded, look, this is what he calls a profession.
No wonder he was able to become the prefect of Runan County.
This is really talking about people, talking about ghosts.
When people and ghosts come together, they speak Mandarin.
After some words, Liu Jin and Dian Wei were in a happy mood, not at all unhappy.
"Prefect Zhao is too famous." Liu Jin cupped his hands.
"Haha, with Fengshen General in charge, I can finally let go of my hanging heart." Zhao Qian laughed, as if what happened just now had never happened.
"Prefect Zhao, don't worry, with our son-in-law here, Runan will have no worries." Cao Cao said triumphantly.
"Oh? Mr. Cao is really a good fortune. If you can find such a good son-in-law, your life will not be in vain." After Zhao Qian was surprised, he was envious.
"That's it, that's it." Cao Cao beamed with joy.
Liu Jin couldn't stand it any longer, Lao Cao, please stop swearing for a while, so he asked:
"I don't know if Taishou Zhao has any news about General Huangfu and General Zhu. They led troops to put down the rebellion a month ago. I don't know where they are now?"
"I only know that they are in Chen Jun, but I don't know the specific situation." Zhao Qian shook his head and said.
"It seems that the two generals want to put down the Yellow Turban of Chenjun first." Liu Jin nodded.
"That's just right, just surround Peng Tuo in Xihua, and it's hard to fly." Guo Jia laughed.
Liu Jin nodded, Chen Jun was in the northeast of Runan, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun integrated the Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan, recruited those who should be incorporated, educated what should be educated, and dismissed those who should be dismissed. In the end, more than 2 recruits were obtained.
Combined with Changsha's defenders, there are [-] troops.
This time to suppress the rebellion, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun brought out 5000 soldiers, and Yingchuan still had [-] people guarding it.
In addition to the 5000 people Cao Cao brought out from Luoyang, and Zhao Qian's remaining [-], a total of [-] troops surrounded Peng Tuo from southeast to northwest.
