Chapter 202
Outside Raoyang City, a lone peak stands proudly amidst the green mountains, and on it, a simple and majestic military camp stands quietly.
Inside the military camp, light and shadow interweave, and figures are looming, and every pair of eyes flashes with vigilance.
In the center of the military tent, the candlelight flickers, reflecting a young and heroic general-Ju Yi. He is not yet thirty years old, but his eyebrows are full of calmness and courage. The knife in his hand flies skillfully, accurately cutting the sizzling roasted lamb on the fire, and the golden fat slides down the tip of the knife and drips into the flames, causing a cheerful crackling sound.
This person is Ju Yi, who is famous for his bravery and good fighting skills. The most praised of his brilliant achievements is the battle of Jie Bridge.
That day, he led his 800 first-line soldiers, like a divine soldier sent from heaven, to fight side by side with the halberd soldiers, and with a thunderous force, he forcibly defeated Gongsun Zan's fierce offensive, including the world-famous Baima Yicong. In that battle, Ju Yi's name resounded through the sky and became an indelible heroic legend in the hearts of countless soldiers.
In the subsequent battles, he almost wiped out the elite forces under Gongsun Zan, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, ruthlessly and resolutely.
Gongsun Zan, the once arrogant hero, finally chose to burn himself in flames in despair, ending his magnificent but sad life.
But his good days were over. The sky cleared and the rain stopped. He felt that he was doing well again, and he was proud of his achievements again and no longer obeyed Yuan Shao's orders.
Yuan Shao, facing such rebellion, was helpless, but he also knew that military orders were as heavy as a mountain and could not be ignored. In the end, he reluctantly ordered the execution of this former capable general and his confidants one by one to prevent the situation from getting worse and stabilize the morale of the army.
If Ju Yi had not died, the outcome of the Battle of Guandu would still be unknown.
Inside the military camp, the bonfire was blazing, reflecting Ju Yi's resolute face. He looked around at the brothers sitting in a circle with unyielding eyes, and his voice was steady and powerful.
"Brothers, we have five thousand men, with our flesh and blood, repeatedly defeated Han Fu, but now he invites Yuan Shao into the game."
"It seems that the situation in Jizhou is about to change."
"Speaking of Yuan Shao's subordinates, Yan Liang's name is well-known. He is said to be a fierce general of the time, and his power should not be underestimated."
Ju Yi gently tore off a piece of golden roasted mutton and chewed it slowly, with respect and a bit of fighting spirit in his tone.
"But, heroes in this world, why fear a fight? I want to see if Yan Liang's swordsmanship can compete with Ju Yi in this chaotic world."
At this time, a young man couldn't hold back his excitement, his eyes flashing with yearning for heroic deeds, he excitedly interrupted:
"Brother, I have heard that in the past, when Luoyang was in a state of chaos, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both heroes, but they showed signs of defeat in just fifty rounds in front of Liu Yao of Bingzhou. You can imagine what kind of person Liu Yao is, who can make such heroes fall. If I have the chance, I really want to see such heroes with my own eyes!"
Ju Yi's mouth curled up a faint smile, his eyes gently fell on Ju Wu, and he said softly:
"Ju Wu, you are at peace Practice your gun skills with all your heart. Your martial arts talent is better than mine. In time, when the time comes, I will do my best to facilitate a battle between you and a hero like Liu Yao, so that you can compete in martial arts. "
Ju Wu heard this, and a flash of uncontrollable excitement flashed in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Brother! Are you serious? I...I...I really have the opportunity to compete with a master like Liu Yao?"
Ju Yi smiled slightly, his eyes full of pampering and trust: "When did I, Ju Yi, lie to you? Brothers should keep their promises."
Just as the two were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and a soldier hurried in, with a strange look of nervousness.
"Report to the general, outside the military camp, there is a man who calls himself Feng Ji, an envoy under Yuan Shao, who requests an audience."
Ju Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Feng Ji? Why did Yuan Shao send an envoy here at this time? Is there a new variable in the war situation?"
"Bring him in, I want to see what this envoy of Yuan Shao is doing."
Feng Ji's figure slowly walked into the military tent, followed by a group of loyal followers, who worked together to carry several heavy wooden boxes.
"Haha, General Ju, Feng Ji is polite." His words were a bit gentle and elegant, but also as smooth as a businessman, and he slowly saluted Ju Yi who was sitting in the main seat.
Ju Yi's eyes were slightly fixed, and a barely noticeable arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was obviously a little surprised by Feng Ji's sudden visit. "Oh? Mr. Feng, I don't know what you are here for?"
Feng Ji smiled slightly, took two steps forward,He bowed again, his words full of sincerity: "Hahaha, this visit is actually to seek a big deal, a big deal that can change the situation and benefit both sides!"
Ju Yi leaned gently on the back of the chair, his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through people's hearts: "I would like to hear the details, what kind of deal can make Mr. Feng mobilize so many troops?"
Snap! Snap!
Feng Ji heard the words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he clapped his hands gently.
With the crisp sound, the servants behind him quickly and orderly opened the wooden boxes. In an instant, the tent was brightly lit, and the jewels and jades complemented each other, dazzling, as if lighting up the entire military tent.
"This is my sincerity. I am willing to use such treasures to exchange for the general's great help. The specific matters still need to be discussed in detail, but please believe that the value of this deal is far more than what you see now."
Feng Ji's words were full of temptation, and every word seemed to be carefully carved and hit people's hearts directly.
"My lord likes your talent and wants to use you, so he came to entrust me and wanted to use the general."
"My lord said! As long as you and your subordinates join our army, the past will be forgiven."
"And, from now on, your military position will be equal to that of General Yan Liang!"
Ju Yi stood up from his seat at once.
"Equal!?"
"Don't lie to me!"
Feng Ji chuckled and said, "Hey, the Yuan family has three officials for four generations, how could they lie to you? Please believe my sincerity!"
Ju Yi stood up slowly.
"Haha, the whole Jizhou is almost Yuan Shao's now, right?"
"I heard it! Han Fu is offering a bounty for my head! If I don't die, what will General Yuan give to Han Fu?"
Feng Ji chuckled and said, "Haha, please bear with me for a while, General. You and your subordinates should not show up for the time being. After our lord receives 50,000 Jizhou troops, you can..."
