Chapter 131 It’s great to have power [Subscribe]
Xu Yu was from Xi County, Nanyang, and was a counselor under Yuan Shu.
He received orders and came to Bingzhou to contact the Black Mountain bandit leader Zhang Yan.
Surprisingly, Zhang Yan, who was rumored to eat human flesh and was as violent as a devil, actually gave people the impression of being weak. He was dressed in a Taoist robe and his face was a little pale.
The most peculiar thing about this person is his waxy yellow eyes, which make him look like a cold-blooded animal when he stares at people.
After being stared at by him for a while, Xu Yu felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
"Go back and tell Yuan Gonglu that I have accepted his conditions. My people will attack Yanzhou East County, and he will provide me with food."
Zhang Yan said slowly: "But you can't let my people rush to the front, you also have to act synchronously."
As Xu Yu had expected, the refugee army had a hard time surviving, and they were willing to fight for their lives as long as they were given food.
"Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, is planning to attack Xuzhou. He is arrogant and unaware of his own mistake, and he wants to seize the land of two states recklessly. We are a multi-party alliance, not only our two families, but Xuzhou will also take action." Xu Yu said.
Zhang Yan said gloomily: "This is the best.
Our Black Mountain Army may not be strong enough to defeat Yanzhou, but it will not be a problem to attack Dongjun and contain Yanzhou."
Xu Yu stood up and said, "Since General Zhang has agreed, then it's settled. The first batch of food supplies we promised has been sent with me. When you send troops to disrupt Yanzhou, the second batch of food supplies will be sent immediately."
After Xu Yu left Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army camp, he passed the news back to Yuan Shu.
They have their own channels and messages are transmitted quickly.
Nanyang.
As night fell, Yuan Shu, wearing his outer robe, sat in his study and asked, "Have you arranged everything?"
Yan Xiang nodded: "Everything has been arranged properly, there will be no mistakes."
Yuan Shu turned his gaze toward the window and said, "Perhaps Yanzhou will be in chaos before we even raise an army."

Liuxiangfang.
Sitting next to Guo Jia was a young girl. Although she was very young, she was one of the top girls in the market.
Guo Jia had a very pleasant conversation with him and was ready to have a fight with him.
He serves as the military advisor and officially takes office today.
When the Yanzhou nobles heard the news, they came to make friends and proposed to take them to the best Liuxiangfang in Changyi for entertainment.
Guo Jia readily agreed. Come and get it for free. Otherwise, it would be a waste.
He was born in Yingchuan Guo clan, and was actually in competition with Yanzhou gentry. For example, he and Xun Yu obtained high positions under Cao Cao.
To a certain extent, it squeezed out the resources and position of the local gentry.
These people from various aristocratic families took the initiative to invite Guo Jia, and also had the intention of testing Guo Jia.
Guo Jia understood everyone's thoughts very clearly.
But we accept all who come, and drink till the cup is empty. When seafood comes, we choose the best and top-quality ones to eat first, without any hesitation.
When these nobles tried to get information out of him, all they got was a trap, and whoever believed it would be in trouble.
Guo Jia is a man of outstanding talent and can compose poems and essays at will, which attracts the attention of the girl beside him. When he came, he said that he only sells his art but not his body, and he wants to be a pure person. But at this moment, she leaned half of her body to Guo Jia, and took the initiative to give up her pure identity and prepare to be turbid.
Guo Jia felt that the time was almost right and was about to take the top girl away.
Several famous scholars in Yanzhou advised in unison: "Hold on, Fengxiao."
"We invited Fengxiao here, but we didn't just invite him to drink a few glasses of wine. Otherwise, how can we show our sincerity?"
"Feng Xiao has just arrived, so he may not know that Ye He Nu, who is known as the Four Little Nights of the Singing Girls, came to Changyi not long ago. She is the owner of this Liuxiangfang. Because Bian Mei, one of the three great masters, disappeared from his place, he invited Ye He Nu to fill the vacancy and maintain the business.
We spent so much effort to get Ye Henv to agree to dance with us later, so how could Feng Xiao leave so early? "
There are three great singing girls in the world, and they have countless admirers.
Second only to the three great singing girls are the singing and dancing girls who have become famous in the past two or three years and are known as the Four Little Nights.
It is hoped that she will be able to replace the three great singers in the future.
Although the four ladies were ranked below the three concubines, they were also highly respected by people from all walks of life. Wherever they were invited to stay, there would be crowds of people, and the money for the invitations was considerable.
The Night Lotus Girl is one of them. It is said that her dancing moves are like lotus leaves swaying in the wind, so graceful and unparalleled that she is the most beautiful among several counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, Guo Jia looked towards the direction of the hall door, but saw Cao Cao walking in with his hands behind his back.
Bian Mei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others followed behind.
Several people were dressed in ordinary clothes.
Bian Mei also used a method unique to prostitutes, the technique of an old woman avoiding guests, to conceal her beautiful face.
At first glance, it looks like he has aged ten years out of nowhere.
The art of avoiding guests is a secret technique used by prostitutes to avoid being harassed by guests. It is actually a means of disguise. Bian Mei travels around the world, collects information, and knows all kinds of ways to disguise herself.
Several local celebrities in the hall all knew Cao Cao. When they saw him, they were stunned and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
It was somewhat awkward to meet my superior at Liuxiangfang.
However, Guo Jia did not care about it. He smiled and gave the first seat to Cao Cao, and sat beside him to keep him company.
Cao Cao said, "I heard you all talking about Ye He Nu's name outside the door. Since you invited her over, I'll join in the fun.
Please do as you please, there is no need to accommodate me."
Guo Jia gestured to the top player beside him and said, "Take a toast to the governor."
The girl was wearing a lake green long dress and was indeed a beauty. When she saw Cao Cao, her face was filled with surprise and admiration. She called out in a low voice, "Governor!" and timidly held up the cup to add more wine to Cao Cao.
After everyone chatted for a while, someone came to inform that Ye He Nu had arrived.
Outside the hall, a group of people came in.
Some hold the zither, some hold the flute.
There were also more than ten female dancers, all of whom were experts in playing various musical instruments and singing. They walked in slowly and gracefully, wearing colorful clothes.
The women stood in their positions and spread out to the sides like blooming flowers, leaving room for a beautiful young lady in the middle.
The woman had a pretty face, a delicate oval face, a graceful figure, and a round chest, which made her fitted Han skirt look very tight.
The specially made dance skirt reveals a small piece of white and tender waist, which is quite alluring.
The woman didn't need to say anything, everyone already knew she was Yehe Girl.
Meeting her in person is better than hearing about her, she is indeed very charming.
Guo Jia smacked his lips, looking very excited.
Cao Cao also watched with attention. That night, the lotus girl greeted everyone and began to dance to the sound of music.
Her dancing moves are light and graceful, her feet tap lightly under her skirt, and her steps and graceful figure complement each other. It is obvious at first glance that she has a deep foundation in dance.
Its movements are like a flowing scroll; its posture changes with the rhythm of the music, fully demonstrating the unique charm of the dance.
Even Cao Cao, who watched for a while, had to admit that the dancing of the Night Lotus Girl was not only a display of skill, but also a release of emotion, with a charm that moved people's hearts.
When her long sleeves fluttered, they were like blooming roses, flying all over the sky.
The light pink sleeves fell on her head and shoulders, like petals falling with her rhythmic footsteps.
The artistic conception and dancing posture are both excellent.
Guo Jia and a group of famous scholars sitting at the side tables shook their heads unconsciously and watched very attentively.
When the dance is over, the music disappears.
The dance also changes from dynamic to static.
Ye Henu bowed to everyone breathlessly, her eyes full of charm.
Someone shouted, "This song is the Night Lotus Dance, it is so beautiful and unparalleled!"
"I heard that this dance was choreographed by you, Ye He. You became famous because of this dance, but few people have been able to see it in recent years."
"It is the Ye Heman Dance. I imitated the world-famous Ye Mei Qianjiao from the Bian family, one of the three famous concubines. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all." Her voice had the softness that is unique to girls from water towns.
Cao Cao whispered to Bian Mei, who was sitting next to him, "She said she was imitating your Ye Mei Qian Jiao?"
Bian Mei nodded and said, "If the governor wants to see it, I will dance for him someday."
Cao Cao smiled.
In the hall, Ye Henu came down to toast every seat.
After she toasts, she will leave and go to the next one.
A dancer at her level would probably have two or three shows every night.
It's a game worth a fortune, it's for taking advantage of the situation, it's very conscientious, it won't make money from poor people.
Bian Mei's price was higher at the beginning. She made money from the gentry and then gave away porridge to support the common people and refugees.
Ye Henu quickly approached the main seat, took a sip of the wine from her red lips, and raised her glass to Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Zhao Yun in the main seat in turn.
Guo Jia's handsomeness, the temperament brought by his knowledge of poetry and books, Zhao Zilong's bravery, and Cao Cao's majesty and composure all made Ye Henu's gaze linger. She seemed quite surprised that these outstanding people of the time gathered together.
Ye Henv said softly:
“The owner of Liuxiangfang just said that the governor of the state is here in person.
Ye He has long admired the governor. She has developed a new dance piece called Charming Girl and wants to perform a dance for the governor alone. Would the governor like to watch it? "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Even Guo Jia showed an envious look. It was great to have power and influence. Even a world-famous dancer like Ye Henu wanted to take the initiative to get close to her.
After dancing alone, there might be another chance for kissing and entering the room.
Several famous scholars sitting at the side tables inside the hall all looked at Cao Cao.
Ye Henu picked up the wine cup and offered it forward: "I toast to the governor."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Outside the window, black thin lines of phantoms shot in silently.
Someone released poison needles, which fell on Cao Cao like rain.
Following closely behind him, someone came in from outside, with a black scarf covering his face.
"assassin!"
A figure actually fell from the beam at the entrance.
Cao Cao and others, however, looked calm and unperturbed.
Bian Mei had learned in advance that an assassin was coming to Changyi and his target was Cao Cao.
With war imminent with various states and counties, assassins and spies emerged one after another, and assassinations were common.
The Cao residence was heavily guarded, leaving the assassin no chance at all.
Cao Cao left his mansion, and the assassins lying in ambush in the dark were unwilling to miss this opportunity even though they knew he might be luring the enemy.
The few assassins who showed up were quite powerful.
The poison needle shot towards him, but Dian Wei flipped his hand and suppressed it. The murderous aura in his hand condensed like a wall, and all the steel needles were collected in his hand.
Dian Wei then went to meet the figure that was falling from the beam.
The opponent flew into the air and suddenly fought with Dian Wei.
From the shadow behind him, another figure suddenly emerged and pounced on Cao Cao at an even faster speed.
Mother-and-child assassins are a common tactic used by assassins.
Xu Chu stood in front of Cao Cao and punched him.
However, at the same moment, the top performer of Liuxiangfang who had been leaning against Guo Jia suddenly took action.
She was very close to Cao Cao, took off her hairpin, and stabbed him like a sharp sword.
At this moment, everything changes chaotically.
The assassin's methods are varied and each one is deadly.
Several figures came in from the window and attacked Zhao Yun and Bian Mei at the same time, trying to prevent them from rescuing Cao Cao.
The girl from Liuxiangfang, with a hairpin in her hand, quickly approached Cao Cao.
Suddenly, a sword tip emerged from the void beside Cao Cao and slashed in the air.
The girl's movements stopped, a bloody mark appeared on her neck, and she died instantly.
In addition to Xu Chu, Dian Wei had two major attendants.
It seems that there is a powerful swordsman hidden beside Cao Cao who has never appeared before.
No one, including Bian Mei, knew of this person's existence.
After she dealt with an assassin who was attacking her, she found time to look back and happened to see the sword extending out of the void, which killed the assassin with one blow!
Something happened in the hall. Ye He Nu turned pale and knelt down on the low mat in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao glanced at her and said, "Kill this one too."
Ye Henu's expression suddenly changed. She turned her wrist and shot out a cold light, which fell towards Cao Cao's brow.
She then opened her mouth, rolled her tongue, and a black shadow came out of her mouth at lightning speed.
