Chapter 406
Tang County, located in the southeast of Guangchang City, is the throat from Guangchang City to the hinterland of Jizhou.After the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan's Youzhou army was powerful in the early stage of the war, and captured several important towns in northern Jizhou in one fell swoop.Teng Yao, the county magistrate of Tang County, watched the wind and descended.

It's no wonder that Teng Yao is a soft bone. Yuan Shao has only been in charge of Jizhou for more than half a year, and he has not yet fully controlled the counties and counties of Jizhou.However, Gongsun Zan had guarded the northern territory of the Han Dynasty for many years and had a great reputation. Tengyao had not yet formed a sense of dependence on Yuan Shao. Seeing that Gongsun Zan was powerful, he would naturally offer the city to submit to him.

Gongsun Zan did not treat Teng Yao lightly and still made him the magistrate of Tang County. Even the garrison of Tang County was not changed and remained Teng Yao's original team.

This morning, Teng Yao sat in the second hall of the county yamen to watch things as usual.Suddenly a yamen servant came in and reported to Teng Yao: "Honorable County, Chen Junhou who was stationed at the north gate came to report that Liu Bei, the magistrate of Guangchang County, sent the county magistrate Guan Yu and the county captain Zhang Fei to transport grain and grass south, and they had arrived outside the north gate. .”

"Oh? Let Chen Junhou come in." Teng Yao said.

"promise!"

The yamen servant left the hall, and afterward, an officer in armor entered and saluted Teng Yao.

"Chen Junhou, have you ever checked the official documents and seals of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?" Tengyao asked.

Chen Junhou said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I only recognize their seals, but not their official documents. However, I brought over their official documents and seals."

"Bring it up."

"promise!"

Chen Junhou handed over a small burden to Teng Yao.Teng Yao opened the bag, first looked at the two official seals inside, and then picked up two official documents to check.

One of the official documents was the grain adjustment order issued by Gongsun Zan to Liu Bei, and the other was the road guide issued by Liu Bei to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After checking these things, Teng Yao said, "The seals and official documents are correct, just let them go!"

Chen Junhou was stunned: "Honorable County, don't you go to the north gate to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

Teng Yao waved his hand: "If Liu Bei came in person, I should meet Liu Bei and at least entertain him for a meal. But Liu Bei did not come in person. He only sent two subordinates to transport food and grass. I do not have the same official position as them. , there is no need to condescend to meet. You can just let them go, tell them that Tang County is too small to allow them to stay, and let them pass through the city as soon as possible. "

"I understand." Chen Junhou stepped forward, rewrapped the official document and seal, and left the second hall.

After sending Chen Junhou away, Teng Yao continued busy with his own affairs.

Only a quarter of an hour later, Teng Yao suddenly heard a faint noise outside the county government office.

"Yumo, go out and see what happened in the city." Teng Yao was a little upset, so he said to the bookboy who was studying ink with his head down.

"Oh!" The book boy responded. Just as he stood up, before he could move, he saw someone rushing into the second hall like a gust of wind.

"My lord, what's wrong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rebelled. When someone let them into the city, they seized the north gate and led their troops to attack the county government."

The person who broke in was Chen Junhou. As soon as he came in, he didn't even bother to salute, so he shouted at Teng Yao.

Teng Yao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rebel?"

"Xianzun, what time is it, you still have to worry about these things. Run away quickly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have more than 1000 troops, and they have all entered the city. If you don't run away, you won't be able to escape."

"Yes, yes, escape is the most important thing!" Teng Yao also panicked, a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Chen Junhou stepped forward and grabbed Teng Yao, and walked out. As he walked, he said: "There are more than 200 people left in a certain person. They are waiting outside the county government office. Please follow me quickly!"

That book boy was also clever, and consciously followed behind Chen Junhou and Teng Yao.

"Marquis Chen Jun, someone's family members are still in the back office." Teng Yao suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, you can't care anymore. It's not certain whether we can escape!" Chen Junhou shouted.

At this time, he had dragged Teng Yao out of the second hall, the inside of the yamen was already in chaos, and the officials and yamen servants were all running outside in a panic.

Chen Junhou helped Teng Yao onto a horse, and he rode on another horse. The two of them rushed towards the county government gate.

When he got out of the county office, he saw the two hundred or so people who had been waiting outside the county office suddenly ran towards the end of the street.Chen Junhou looked to the other side of the street, and Zhang Fei had already appeared on this street leading a team.

"County Honor, let's go!" Marquis Chen Jun shouted to Teng Yao, and he drove his horse to follow behind his subordinates, heading east.Teng Yao also saw that Zhang Fei had come to kill him, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he quickly followed Chen Junhou and fled.

………………

Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Yi sat in the seat where Teng Yao had previously sat.Hua Xiong, Pei Ji, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu sat down one after another.

"Yun Chang and Yi De, you two are the first to win Tang County this time without any effort." Qin Yi said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu hugged Qin Yi and said, "It's all thanks to the master's plan. I and my third brother don't dare to take credit."

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Yun Chang doesn't need to be modest."

At this time, Zhang Fei suddenly asked Qin Yi: "Fujun, why don't you let me chase Teng Yao?"

Qin Yi said: "Yide, Teng Yao has become a lost dog, what's the benefit of chasing him?"

"Hmph, didn't you intend to let Teng Yao report to Gongsun Zan on purpose?" Zhang Fei muttered in a low voice.But he had a loud voice, even if he muttered softly, everyone could hear what he said.

Hua Xiong immediately glared at Zhang Fei: "Lieutenant Zhang, what you said..."

Seeing that Hua Xiong was about to lose his temper, Qin Yi quickly interrupted Hua Xiong, and said, "Yide, you are right, I just want Teng Yao to report to Gongsun Zan. In this way, when the letter from Xuande is delivered It was only when he reached Gongsun Zan that he became more aware of the threat posed by the fire in the backyard."

Qin Yi didn't say a word, but everyone understood.This sentence means that if Teng Yao reports to Gongsun Zan that Liu Bei has betrayed him, Liu Bei will have no choice but to surrender to the Yecheng court wholeheartedly.

After a little explanation, Qin Yi ignored Zhang Fei who was still sulking.He said seriously: "Everyone, Tang County has been destroyed, but this city cannot be guarded for a long time. Zhongjie and Yun Chang, I order you two to lead the troops to evacuate the Tang County treasury immediately. This must be completed within today. If the carriages we brought are not enough, we can use the funds in the treasury to buy or rent them from the people in the city. We will withdraw our troops and return to Guangchang early tomorrow morning."

"Promise!" Guan Yu and Hua Xiong stood up and answered Qin Yi with clasped fists.

"Yide, it is up to you to inspect the defense of the city wall; Yuan Shao, you lead a hundred guards as a law enforcement team to patrol the city and strictly prohibit our officers and soldiers from harassing the people. Bring it to me." Qin Yi ordered Zhang Fei and Pei Ji again.

"No!" Zhang Fei and Pei Ji replied.
