Li Cunxin heard this and his expression changed. He came up with an evil plan: "Brother Shi, the world is in chaos now and the general manager is looking for people. Han Jin is definitely a rare and powerful general. We might as well try to 'invite' Han Jin back. If the general manager can take him back, we will have made a great contribution. Maybe we can even be forgiven for delaying the trip today."
"Well, what's the plan?" Shi Jingsi was moved.
Li Cunzhang next to him also showed a look of approval. Such a brave general should not be made an enemy. It would be even better if he became one of their own. Moreover, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the credit for recommending him would surely be his.
Since all three of them had this intention, Shi Jingsi made a prompt decision and signaled Li Cunxin to take action.
Li Cunxin raised his eyebrows slightly, and a plan came to his mind. He immediately shouted to Yuchi Jin's back: "Brother Han, we are the Hedong Army that went south to attack Huang Chao. We are all here to deal with bandits. Today, we have met each other and we might as well make friends. To show our sincerity, we will tell you a piece of news for free. It's about your brother Han Zhi?"
Yuchi Jin made up a lie just to get rid of the other three people, but he didn't expect that the other party actually knew the news about Han Zhi. Han Zhi was with Zhu Li, so if Han Zhi had news, it meant that Zhu Li had news too.
Thinking about it again, she had been out for more than ten days. When she first learned the news that Zhu Li had defeated Li Hanzhi, it was probably too late. Now she urgently needed new news about Zhu Li and others. Upon hearing this, she stopped immediately.
The other party didn't even know who she was just now, which showed that he was not deliberately deceiving her. Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Do you really know the news about my brother?"
As soon as he saw that he had attracted the other party's attention, Li Cunxin felt that there was a chance. He suppressed his joy and said quickly: "Your brother defeated Li Hanzhi earlier and took over all his troops. Now he has pursued Li Dan and entered Yucheng."
Li Cunxin's news was pure nonsense. He just made it up because he took advantage of the fact that the other party didn't know about Han Zhi. If the other party knew the exact news about Han Zhi, he would definitely not stop to ask. This was the reason he lied so wantonly.
What is Yucheng? It is a town in the heart of Songzhou and also the destination that Shi Jingsi and his party were heading for. Songzhou is adjacent to Xuzhou. It is reasonable and logical for Han Zhi to pursue Li Dan and enter Songzhou. There is no loophole and he is not afraid of the other party's suspicion at all.
Li Keyong was stationed in Xuzhou and faced Huang Chao directly. He sent cavalry into Songzhou with two purposes. One was that the south of Songzhou was right next to Chenzhou. If a war broke out in the west of Li Keyong, Shi Jingsi's surprise troops would be able to rush to the battlefield or harass the enemy at any time.
The second is that Songzhou is blocked on Huang Chao's way eastward and northward. If Huang Chao flees without a fight, Shi Jingsi's surprise troops can attack head-on, delay or block the enemy, and create enough time for Li Keyong and others to attack.
"Yucheng?"
Yuchi Jin screamed in surprise. She naturally knew the approximate location of Yucheng. If Zhu Li was in Yucheng now, then her trip would have been in vain. Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
She came here with high expectations, but got this result. Yuchi Jin's heart seemed to suddenly fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. However, this scene happened to be seen by Li Cunxin from afar. Seeing this, he became more confident.
As the saying goes, brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together. My elder brother is fighting outside.
As a brother, I don't care about it. Of course, those who are heartless are no longer within the scope of consideration.
Li Cunxin thought that no matter Han Jin was concerned about his elder brother's safety or went to support his elder brother deliberately, he would have the opportunity to trick this person away.
This was the time when Yuchi Jin was worried about gains and losses, anxious and depressed. It was also the best time for Li Cunxin to carry out his deception plan. How could he miss it? Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Brother Han looks very disappointed. Is it because of your brother?"
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jin remained silent, but secretly complained to Zhu Li in his heart, saying that all he did was run around all day long. He had been running around for three or four years, and wasn't there enough
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Li Cunxin spoke again: "If Brother Han is unhappy because of your brother, we are just going to Yucheng, and we can be considered as acquaintances. If Brother Han wants to help your brother, we don't mind going with him?"
Well, Yuchi Jin, who was secretly blaming Zhu Li, suddenly lost his depressed look when he heard that the other party was going to give them a ride. The fire of missing him in his heart instantly became fierce again, out of control, and even the way he looked at Li Cunxin became much more pleasing.
However, these people are under Li Keyong's command, which makes Yuchi Jin a little discouraged.
However, as soon as this worry emerged, she suppressed it. It shouldn't matter if she just walked with them for a while, Yuchi Jin comforted herself. With this thought in mind, Yuchi Jin looked up.
As soon as they saw Yuchi Jin looking over, at Li Cunxin's signal, the three of them immediately pretended to be very frank, as if it didn't matter whether Yuchi Jin went with them or not, and they invited him only out of consideration for Yuchi Jin's "brotherhood".
Seeing this, Yuchi Jin's heart was moved. She bowed and said, "I was just about to help my brother. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you all."
Seeing that Yuchi Jin agreed, Shi Jingsi, Li Cunzhang, and Li Cunxin were immediately overjoyed. Shi Jingsi hurriedly said politely: "Brother Han, you are too polite. We are all serving the court and suppressing bandits. We are all friendly forces. What's the problem?"
After both parties agreed, Yuchi Jin decided to leave. Then they thought of Huang Hao, the commander of Xuzhou. It seemed that he had no presence at all in the past period of time. If Yuchi Jin had not come from a wealthy family and was not a polite person, I am afraid that no one would have paid attention to him in the end.
Yuchi Jin turned around and bowed to Huang Hao, saying, "Captain, my brother is pursuing Li Dan. I would like to go and support my brother. I hope the commander will allow me to do so."
At this time, Huang Hao dared not to allow it. The skills of any one of Yuchi Jin and the other two were far beyond his reach. Although he felt very sorry, he still said politely: "Since Captain Han has made up his mind, then go. However, I am afraid that the guards under the captain's command cannot go with you. Xiao County is in a tight situation and needs our support."
When Yuchi Jin saw that the other party released the people, he didn't care whether he took his subordinates with him or not. He immediately bowed and thanked him, saying, "Captain is right. Only two of my subordinates and my family generals can go. Thank you for your help."
We cannot say that Yuchi Jin is stupid, nor can we say that she is not cautious. Girl in love, please forgive her IQ. If God did not make women in love stupid, there would not be so many joys and sorrows, and infatuated men and resentful women in the world.
The two sides separated on the bank of the Yellow River. Shi Jingsi led the Hedong Army, surrounded by Yuchi Jin and the other two, and headed westward towards Songzhou.
Go and go.
The Xuzhou guards standing by the Yellow River and the captain Huang Hao felt somewhat lost when they saw this scene. There were even countless sighs suddenly heard among the crowd.
Huang Hao was willing to let them go because, firstly, he thought he didn't have the ability to keep Yuchi Jin and his three servants; secondly, he was more familiar with the grudge between Han Zhi and Shi Pu.
Out of his love for the talented fellow villagers, he couldn't bear to watch Yuchi Jin and the other two go to Xiao County. It would be fine if the three of them had not been exposed, but now that they have been exposed, if they continue to go to Xiao County, I'm afraid there will be no good results waiting for them.
Originally, Shi Pu could have reused Han Zhi, but because of a woman, Shi Pu not only did not reuse Han Zhi, but he hated him very much. If he could, Shi Pu would have killed Han Zhi long ago.
Now that Han Zhi has risen, he has annexed Li Hanzhi's troops in one battle. Together with Chen's 8,000 Ganhua Army guards, his military strength has surpassed Shi Pu who was stationed in Xiao County, and he has become a powerful force.
Now he saw Han Zhi's younger brother Han Jin, who was so powerful that he defeated two powerful generals from Hedong almost single-handedly, scaring the other one so much that he dared not to provoke him again. If these brothers joined forces, Shi Pu's defeat would be imminent.
Yuchi Jin followed Shi Jingsi and others and galloped upstream along the Yellow River. When the army was near Shangqiu, they suddenly turned south and rushed towards Yucheng. Along the way, Yuchi Jin gradually felt something was wrong. There was no sign of large-scale military disaster in the entire Songzhou.
Who is Li Dan? He is a general of the Cao army. What the Cao army is best at is, of course, taking the people with them and forcing them to become soldiers. If Li Dan escapes to Songzhou, how can he not cause some damage
The journey from Shangqiu to Yucheng was very peaceful. There was no trace of the broken walls and wailing that would occur after a war broke out, which made Yuchi Jin suspicious.
Especially on the road near Yucheng, there were always countless Shatuo Yue cavalrymen surrounding Yuchi Jin and his two servants. Behind those Shatuo Yue cavalrymen, there were people with bows in their hands, as if they were on guard against the three of them at all times.
Shi Jingsi and his two companions had good intentions towards Yuchi Jin. They knew they were no match for him in a one-on-one fight, so they joined forces to surround Yuchi Jin and his two companions. No matter how good Yuchi Jin and his two companions were at fighting, could they kill off these nearly ten thousand Yue cavalry
Yuchi Jin was actually a smart girl. Although she was overwhelmed by longing for her lover for a while, she still understood the situation when she was on the verge of crisis. However, at this time, it was too late for the three of them to leave. Although all of them were masters, it was inevitable that someone would die when thousands of arrows were fired at them.
Faced with the existing situation, Yuchi Jin did not say anything, but continued to pretend to be ignorant. She followed Shi Jingsi and others and directly entered Yucheng. Even when she entered the military camp, she did not ask about the whereabouts of Han Zhi and Zhu Li. She knew she was fooled, but she was not so unwise as to make unnecessary calculations.
She wanted to see why these Shatuo people wanted to deceive him. Unless she had a chance, everything she did would be in vain before their true intentions were fully revealed.
Shi Jingsi and the others naturally knew that Yuchi Jin had already been alert to something, but since the other party was playing dumb, they refused to mention it, as if nothing had happened.
They were still polite when they should be, and even treated the three masters and servants well in terms of food, drink, and accommodation. This situation made Yuchi Jin suspicious.
