Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Yu Du led his men to the county magistrate's mansion first, then led his soldiers to the armory, and some went to the granary, money warehouse, and stable. People were killed everywhere.

After paying a huge price in casualties, Montenegro received an unprecedentedly generous reward.

One can only imagine how wealthy Yuan Shao's old lair was! Many thieves were so excited that they were a little dizzy, not knowing where to rob first. It was like entering a secret room full of countless treasures, with all they saw was gold, silver, and jewelry, and they didn't know whether to take the gold first or the pearls and agates.

"Anren, you are so smart. You can actually come up with such a brilliant plan to break the city!"

Seeing that Yecheng had indeed been breached, Li Gui led his soldiers and rushed into the city while laughing.

Guan Hai shook his head, "That's not what I thought. It was A-Mo who reminded me."

"Oh?" Li Gui was puzzled. "Boss, can you control the situation here from such a distance?"

Guan Hai explained, "After our human and naval attacks failed, I reported Yu Du's plan for a land attack, along with intelligence on the battle situation in Yecheng, the surrounding terrain, and the enemy's strength, to Jinyang. Amo replied that since a brute force attack wouldn't work, we should try a different approach, using fewer men to outmaneuver them. She said we should pretend we can't, use it but pretend we won't, make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and secretly cross Chencang. This was a tactic she had taught me, from the 'Art of War' and the 'Thirty-Six Stratagems'. It was from these that I came up with this method to defeat the enemy."

Li Gui laughed heartily and said, "Then you are really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't understand what these words mean. I should have read some books with the boss earlier. Our boss is indeed the reincarnation of a military saint, a genius. She can remotely control this battle to destroy the city from thousands of miles away. Who can do that? Oh, I really admire her and love her so much!"

Guan Hai's face darkened when he heard this. "Just admire her. Don't say the word 'like' casually. It will damage her reputation."

Li Gui chuckled twice, "You know I didn't mean that, I just admire you too much!"

Guan Hai said nothing more, and ordered, "According to Amo's instructions, separate yourselves!"

"got it!"

Li Gui responded excitedly and led a group of people to another street.

Guan Hai's purpose was very clear. He knocked on a house's door to ask for directions, and then led his men straight to Yuan Shao's mansion. Xu You and Yuan Shao's family members were about to go out, but were blocked at the gate.

He looked at the two bandits outside the gate, shocked and frightened. How could these bandits be so fast, finding Yuan's residence the moment they broke into the city? What should he do now?

Just as Xu You was racking his brains to think of how to protect Yuan Shao's family, he saw two groups of bandits stopped outside the door and glared at each other.

Arriving at Yuan Mansion together with Guan Hai was another group of Black Mountain Army led by Tao Sheng.

However, Guan Hai knew Tao Sheng, but Tao Sheng did not know which general Guan Hai served under.

The two groups stared at each other in front of Yuan's mansion for a moment, and finally Tao Sheng spoke first, "Are you here for money?"

Not knowing the other party's intention, Guan Hai did not answer but asked, "What about you, sir?"

Tao Sheng didn't know how to answer for a moment. He actually came here for someone. Ever since Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he had been thinking about becoming a good man. After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, this idea became even stronger, but he was troubled by the lack of a good token of his loyalty.

Yuan Shao had three generations of officials who were high officials in his family, but he himself was born a bandit. If he surrendered without any merit, he would certainly not be valued.

That day, several generals conspired to break into the city. He originally wanted to secretly send a message to the city, but he also wanted to reform himself, but he couldn't harm his former companions. Moreover, how could the merit of sending the message compare to the merit of saving Yuan Shao's family?

If he could keep Yuan Shao's family safe, wouldn't Yuan Shao be grateful to him?

Therefore, Tao Sheng went to Yuan's mansion as soon as he entered the city, but he didn't expect that someone was as fast as him.

If the other party also came for someone, that would be fine. The two of them could work together and go to Yuan Shao together to ask for credit. But if the other party came for money, given the nature of the thief, even if he doesn't kill people, he will definitely capture Yuan Shao's family. What should I do?

Tao Sheng stared at the people on the opposite side and thought to himself, "If I protect the Yuan family, they will definitely fight me. I am not sure I can kill them all. If I abandon the Yuan family, I will miss the opportunity and ruin my own bright future."

Guan Hai actually had the same idea as Tao Sheng. He originally wanted to take people away secretly, but who would have thought that there would be someone as quick as him? Before knowing the other party's intentions, he did not dare to speak rashly.

However, seeing that the other party was hesitant and came to Yuan's mansion as soon as he entered the city, perhaps his purpose was the same as mine.

But... now that there's another person coming out, I definitely can't keep it to myself. Otherwise, if he goes to report me, I still won't be able to save him.

How should we divide it? Half for each?

Amo said that Yuan Shao had three sons. After Yuan Shao returned the grain owed to Bingzhou some time ago, the second son had returned to Yecheng, so all three sons should be here now.

Yuan Shao's favorite was his third son, Yuan Shang, so if he wanted to kidnap someone, Yuan Shang would be the best choice.

After figuring out all the questions, Guan Hai asked tentatively, "Are you here for someone?"

Hearing this question, Tao Sheng's eyes lit up immediately, "Your Excellency, too?"

Well, after confirming that everyone had the same goal, Guan Hai readily proposed to Tao Sheng the idea of ​​dividing the three sons of the Yuan family.

Tao Sheng automatically assumed that the other party was preparing to defect to Yuan Shao just like himself. Since they would be colleagues in the future, Tao Sheng naturally had no objection.

As a result, the two sides reached a tacit understanding in an instant and went into the mansion together to divide the people.

The soldiers in Yuan's mansion wanted to resist, but Xu You stopped them after listening to a few brief conversations between the two men. He roughly knew why the two bandits came.

He stepped forward and bowed to Tao Sheng and Guan Hai. "Since you two wish to join my lord, there is no need to separate us. Simply allow us to blend into your ranks and ensure the safety of my lord and his family. My lord will be extremely grateful to you."

Tao Sheng hurriedly returned the greeting, "I have always admired Lord Benchu ​​and have long wanted to abandon evil and join the good. I have come here today to escort you out of Yecheng safely."

As expected! Xu You was overjoyed and quickly asked all the ladies and gentlemen to take off their fine clothes and change into the coarse cloth short jackets worn by servants. He himself also hurriedly changed into a set of tattered clothes.

However, just as they were about to leave with Tao Sheng, Guan Hai stopped them and said, "The Third Young Master will be protected by me."

Immediately, a woman came over holding a sleeping baby and stood behind Guan Hai.

Guan Hai glanced at the little man, only four or five years old, and was stunned. Didn't A-Mo mention that Yuan Shang was still a baby? If he woke up and found that a stranger had taken him away, wouldn't he cry his heart out? He couldn't explain the origins of the baby to Yu Du and the others.

After weighing the pros and cons, Guan Hai finally decided to only capture Yuan Shang and Madam Liu. He also looted Yuan's mansion as a cover. He said to Xu You and the others, "I will take Madam and the Third Young Master away. When Lord Benchu ​​returns to Jizhou, I will send them back safely."

Watching him and his men swaggering out of Yuan's residence, Xu You suddenly felt something was amiss. Without thinking, he hurriedly followed him, "Warrior, warrior, wait a minute."

Guan Hai stopped walking, and Xu You caught up with him and asked, "Why don't you go with General Ping Han (as Tao Sheng called himself)?"

Guan Hai wanted to say that people with different opinions cannot work together, but to avoid unnecessary complications, he said, "Too many people will easily attract Yu Du's attention. Let's go separately and reunite after leaving the city."

Xu You thought Guan Hai and Tao Sheng had already discussed this. He glanced at Madam Liu and Yuan Shang with some concern and said, "Then let me go with you."

Guan Hai nodded indifferently and took the three of them to meet up with Li Gui and others.
