    "I am Cao Jie, the daughter of Prime Minister Cao."

    Cao Jie?  Cao Cao's daughter?

    Yan Liang searched his mind for memories about the characters of the Three Kingdoms, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this Cao Jie the Queen Cao in history?

    Historically, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie instructed his father-in-law Fu Wan to murder Cao Cao. After the incident was revealed, Cao Cao killed the Fu family, including Queen Fu.

    After that, Cao Cao married three of his women to Emperor Xian as concubines, including Cao Jie, and not long after, Cao Jie was made queen.

    But she didn¡¯t expect that the last queen of the Han Dynasty in history was now right in front of her.

    "Who are you? Are you a general of Duke Yuan or a traitor of someone else?"

    Cao Jie asked calmly, with a hint of fear in his expression. She was worthy of being Cao Cao's daughter.

    Yan Liang stood with the knife behind his back, the corner of his mouth raised.

    "My general is Yan Liang."

    Hearing the word "Yan Liang", Cao Jie, who was originally calm and pretty, suddenly felt a little bit shocked.

    "You - you are Yan Liang? Aren't you in Xinye? How could you"

    Cao Jie¡¯s tone was trembling, and his expression of surprise seemed to be that he couldn¡¯t believe that Yan Liang would appear in Xudu City at such a special moment.

    Yan Liang smiled slightly and said: "Dong Cao repeatedly sent troops to attack Yan. This time Yan wanted to reciprocate and come to visit him in person, but he didn't expect that he had already fled."

    Hearing the sarcasm in Yan Liang's tone, Cao Jiehua suddenly became angry and said angrily: "You can't¡ª"

    But before these angry words were spoken, her eyes suddenly dazzled, her body became unsteady, she staggered and then fell down.

    Seeing her collapse, Yan Liang didn't think much and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.

    The moment that limp body, frail and boneless, fell into his arms, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

    Cao Jie was dizzy for a moment, and when he reluctantly opened his eyes, he was shocked to see that he was lying in Yan Liang's arms, and a look of shame and anger could not help but appear on his pretty face.

    "You thief, how dare you be so frivolous to me? Why don't you let me go!"

    Her energy and blood were surging. After drinking like this, her breath became sluggish, but she didn't even have the strength to struggle.

    Yan Liang ignored her and took a closer look at her face. It turned out that she looked sick. So instead of letting go, he hugged her tighter.

    "I think you are sick, so save your energy. Don't worry, I will take you back to Xinye and ask famous doctors to treat you."

    Although Cao Jie is a female, she is still Cao Cao's family member, which is better than nothing. Yan Liangzi wants to take him back to Xinye.

    When Cao Jie heard this, he was shocked and shouted: "Whoever wants to go to Xinye with you, let them go quickly¡ª¡ª"

    She was so anxious that her energy and blood rushed to her heart. She suddenly felt dizzy and fainted on the spot.

    Yan Liang was startled and rushed to check her breathing and pulse. He was relieved when he found out that she had just fainted out of anger.

    He asked the maid what was going on, and only then did he learn that it was Cao Jie who was ill and could not evacuate with his family members. He wanted to leave later, but unexpectedly, there was a rebellion in the city and he wanted to leave.  But not.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, and then comforted the maid with a few words, telling her not to be afraid and to just take good care of her young lady.

    Then Yan Liang ordered his subordinates to escort Cao Jie out of the city and send him to Xinye together with Jia Xu and Hu Che'er at starry night.

    When Cao Jie was sent out of the city, the infantry led by Gan Ning had also arrived. All the treasury in Xu Duzhong was opened by Yan Liang, and boxes of money were loaded into trucks and sent south to Xinye.

    In troubled times, recruiting troops and buying horses relies on money. The seven counties of Xinye where Yan Liang is based have limited tax revenue. This time he made a huge windfall, which is enough for him to "squander" for a while.

    One day after the capture, it was almost dusk. Scouts from the north came to report that Yuan Shao's army was no more than ten miles away from Xu.

    Yan Liang has not officially broken up with Yuan Shao yet. Of course he is willing to fight Yuan Shao this time. When he heard that Yuan Jun was approaching, Yan Liang ordered his troops to withdraw from Xudu and return to Xinye.

    Yan Liang asked Zhou Cang to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to escort Cao Jie, Jia Xu, and more than a hundred chariots of money. He himself led the Shenxing cavalry and two thousand infantry led by Gan Ning to crush the formation.

    Two groups of soldiers and horses left the city one after another, and before sunset they were twenty miles away from Xudu.

    "I have made a lot of money this time and captured a great talent like Jia Xu. This trip to Xudu was not in vain. However, it seems that it will take some brain cells to persuade this old cunning guy Jia Xu to surrender"

    When Yan Liang turned his horse and walked slowly, his mind was already thinking about the next step.

      At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and it was Gan Ning who came galloping from behind.

    "General, the scouts reported that a Yuan army went south from Xudu and seems to be chasing our army." Gan Ning gasped.

    Yan Liang frowned slightly and asked: "How many Yuan's troops are there and who are the enemy generals?"

    Gan Ning said: "The enemy has about five thousand infantry and cavalry, and they seem to be fighting under the banner of Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan."

    Hearing Yuan Tan¡¯s name, Yan Liang immediately felt relieved.

    Although this man is the eldest son of Yuan Shao, his ability to lead troops and martial arts are only at the third-rate level. Now that he is leading the army alone, Yan Liang is not afraid.

    Yan Liang's betrayal must have made Yuan Shao very angry. Yuan Tan came after him this time because he must have wanted to get rid of him in order to claim credit in front of his father.

    "I didn't want to have a conflict with Yuan Shao, but if his son is so ignorant, don't blame me."

    Yan Liang snorted coldly, looked around at the terrain on the left and right, and immediately had a plan.

    ? ######

    It is getting late, and an army with high ambition is still moving quickly.

    Yuan Tan galloped forward with high spirits.

    In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao, the old enemy of the Yuan family, was finally defeated. As the eldest son of the Yuan family, at this time, in Yuan Tan's view, there was no rival for the Yuan family in the world.

    When he thought he could seize Xudu first, he learned that Yan Liang had already entered the city before him and moved away all the Han court's treasury.

    The traitor Yan Liang disrupted the situation. Yuan Tan was furious and immediately led his army to pursue him.

    "My father hates Yan Liang deeply. If I can kill this thief, my father will be very happy, and I will be able to outdo Xianfu"

    Yuan Tan was thinking freely in his heart, and a smile quietly passed through the corner of his mouth.

    At this time, the veteran Chun Yuqiong was chasing from behind, and said with a worried look on his face: "My lord, there are more and more mountains ahead, the road is getting narrower, and the sky is getting dark. I think it is not appropriate to pursue any further."

    "Yan Liang, the dog thief, is right in front. How can we let him escape like this? Today I have to take off his head."

    Yuan Tan¡¯s tone was decisive and he ignored Chunyu Qiong¡¯s advice.

    Chunyu Qiong wanted to persuade him again, but the sentry rider in front suddenly came to report that Yan Liangjun's transport team had been spotted on the road ahead, and there were about a hundred mules and carts.

    Yuan Tan's expression perked up and he shouted loudly: "It must be the property that Yan Liang's dog thief kidnapped from the treasury. Send an order to my general to attack with all our troops. Whoever takes Yan Liang's head will be heavily rewarded!"

    "The eldest son¡ª¡ª"

    Before Chunyu Qiong could speak, Yuan Tan had already galloped out on horseback, danced his gun and killed him.

    The five thousand Hebei infantry troops also moved with a roar and came out shouting to kill.

    Five thousand people and horses came overwhelmingly, and their momentum was extremely frightening.

    When the hundreds of Yanliang troops on the road saw the enemy coming, they all panicked and abandoned their mule carts and fled.

    Yuan Tan rushed forward on horseback, his spear passed by and stabbed several enemy soldiers to death one after another.

    Yuan Tan, whose confidence was greatly increased, immediately ordered his soldiers to continue pursuing along the avenue. He believed that Yan Liang's army, which had withdrawn in a hurry, should be not far ahead.

    However, when the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command saw the carts of money, their eyes immediately turned red, and there were no general orders in their ears. They stopped one after another and robbed the money.

    When Yuan Tan saw this, he shouted angrily: "No one is allowed to rob or seize property without permission. Let me continue to pursue the situation."

    Yuan Tan¡¯s angry shout seemed so weak and weak, and was soon drowned in the laughter.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Senior Yuan's soldiers are all greedy for money, and no one cares about killing the enemy.

    At this time, on the hillside a mile away, Yan Liang looked at the money-grabbing farce on the narrow road with a sarcastic look on his face.

    "Yuan Shao, thank me. With your military discipline, if I hadn't deceived Xu You away, you would have been able to defeat Cao Cao."

    After the sarcasm, murderous intent rolled into Yan Liang's razor-sharp eyes.

    The long knife was raised and slashed forward fiercely.

    The rumble of war drums suddenly sounded like thunder.

    The horn of attack was sounded, and the ambush troops on both sides of the narrow passage suddenly rose up.

    Amidst the loud shouts of killing, Gan Ning rushed out of the woods with his horse and halberd, and ran towards Yuan Tan.
