Chapter 20: Yuan Shu dies and kills the envoys

After some understanding, Liu Qing basically knew all the situation in Donglai, and finally made some corresponding adjustments, let Shiyi rectify the army and set off in two days, and sent Beihai, this time Liu Qing came to Qingzhou, and the only purpose was to subdue Qingzhou, collect Kong Rong, and Yuan Shao drove out of Qingzhou.

And just when Liu Qing's side had just made a concurrent Beihai two days later, in Runan, the end of Yuan Shu was coming, but outside Runan City, hundreds of thousands of troops appeared, densely packed, and the entire Runan was surrounded by water.

Yuan Shu was dressed in a yellow robe, with a haggard face, standing on the city wall, accompanied by the ministers of civil and military affairs.

"Your Majesty, at present, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army of more than 400,000 people has surrounded my Runan City, and it is impossible to win, so please prepare quickly, and we will retreat."

A man dressed in full-body armor, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, stood behind Yuan Shu, looked at the mighty army under the city, frowned and said to Yuan Shu, this person is the first general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling, a native of Shandong Province, who has followed Yuan Shu for decades.

Yuan Shu listened to Ji Ling's words, didn't look back, and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, I think I, Yuan Shu, have worked hard for my Yuan family, but in the end I was still abandoned, where else can I retreat" After laughing, he looked back at Ji Ling and the other generals, and his face changed to twilight, "You are all henchmen who have followed me for a long time, and the current situation in Nanyang is clear to you, now you all have escaped from the only north gate that is not surrounded" After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao walked towards the city like a balloon that had been pumped.

Ji Ling looked at his lord as if he had become a lot older, and felt very uncomfortable, a few days ago Yuan Shao suddenly proposed to be called the emperor, many people were dissuaded by Yuan Shu, Ji Ling was very strange, he knew Yuan Shu best, although Yuan Shu was a little arrogant and a little exaggerated, but he would never be stupid enough to be the emperor.

"It must be him, it must be him" Ji Ling thought in his heart, and chased after Yuan Shu, while some of the others chased after him, and some obeyed Yuan Shu's words and left in a hurry.

Yuan Shu returned to his palace, looking at the magnificent palace, Yuan Shao smiled bitterly, and walked in, during which the guards saluted him, he didn't pay attention, and went through many detours along the way, Yuan Shu came to the ancestral temple.

The ancestral temple is a place to worship the ancestors of the spiritual position, Yuan Shu came to the spiritual position, knelt down, looked at the hundreds of spiritual positions in front of him, Yuan Shu kowtowed three heads, and muttered, "Ancestors and ancestors, Yuan Shu is here to ask you for guilt...... Yuan Shu knelt in front of the spiritual seat and said a few words, kowtowed a few heads.

After Ji Ling followed, he was about to go in, but he saw Yuan Shu talking to himself a little strangely, so he actually eavesdropped.

"Ancestors and ancestors, the unfilial son Yuan Shu called the emperor ten helpless, the eldest brother Yuan Shao discussed with me, and I called the emperor, which messed up the prestige of the Han Dynasty. After he was proclaimed emperor and joined forces with me to dominate the world, but I didn't expect that my brother, who I had always admired, betrayed me, I was unwilling......" Yuan Shu actually shouted. As he spoke, he took out a knife from his cuff and stabbed it into his heart.

Because Ji Ling was standing behind Yuan Shu and didn't see Yuan Shu holding a knife, when Yuan Shu fell to the ground, Ji Ling saw that seeing his lord actually commit suicide in front of him, Ji Ling cried bitterly.

Yuan Shu committed suicide in front of the ancestors and ancestors for some reasons, his general Ji Ling saw it, was very sad, and stepped forward to hold Yuan Shu's corpse and cried bitterly, Ji Ling's cry was heard by the other ministers who came from behind, they heard the sound and saw Ji Ling holding Yuan Shu and crying, and was also infected, without asking why Yuan Shu died, and cried directly.

Just when everyone was crying, a middle-aged Chinese character with a horse face dressed as a scribe stood up, looked at the crying crowd and said loudly: "Ji Ling, why did the lord die here, you must give an explanation."

It was Li Feng, the chief strategist of Yuan Shu, who spoke, Li Feng had also followed Yuan Shu for a long time, but as a strategist, he took death very lightly, and after Yuan Shu was a little surprised after his death, he thought of why Yuan Shu died here, so he questioned Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was grieving, but that didn't mean he was stupid, "Li Feng, what do you mean by that?"

"So-and-so doesn't mean anything, but the corpse of the lord is in front, and before we came here, you were here alone, don't you give us an explanation" Although Li Feng is a literati, he is not afraid of Ji Ling's momentum, and said loudly.

"Hmph, what do you want to explain, say"

"This is very simple, look at the lord's wounds and indeed died by suicide, but why did the lord commit suicide, don't you give us an explanation?" With Li Feng's words, other ministers of Yuan Shu, such as Liang Gang, Le Qiang, Liu Xun, Yuan Jian and others echoed one after another.

Ji Ling looked at everyone's gaze and knew that he couldn't hide it, and he still needed their strength to avenge Yuan Shu, so Ji Ling looked at the others and said, "Okay, tell me the reason for the suicide that I heard from the lord just now, but believe it or not, it's all up to you" Ji Ling said and began to talk about what he had just heard Yuan Shu say to himself.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, how can Uncle Yuan Shao do this, this is impossible, it is impossible......" Yuan Shao Yu Yuan Shu's nephew Yuan Yin shook his head and said in disbelief after hearing Ji Ling's words.

"Young General, whether you believe it is your business or not, but what I Ji Ling said is true, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder" Ji Ling raised his finger and said loudly.

"No wonder, no wonder the lord suddenly became the emperor, and Yuan Shao actually joined Cao Cao's army to attack, it turned out that everything was done by Yuan Shao" Li Feng didn't want Yuan Yin to be extreme, and he didn't believe it when he was killed, Li Feng analyzed it, and soon came to the conclusion that what Ji Ling said was correct.

"Young General, I think what Ji Ling said is true, it is very likely that Yuan Shao instigated the lord to be the emperor, and then brought Cao Cao to crusade, his purpose was to make the prestige of the Han Dynasty completely fall to the bottom."

"Then Mr. Yi, what should we do" Yuan Yin said to Li Feng with red eyes.

Li Feng thought for a moment when he heard this: "At present, there are 300,000 troops outside the city, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also fierce generals like clouds, and their strategists are like rain, if we fight with them, we will not be able to win, so I suggest that we retreat, so that we can wait for the coming day to rise again and take revenge." ”

Yuan Yin had already regarded himself as the leader of the crowd, and after listening to Li Feng's words, he praised: "Mr. is right, since we can't defeat the enemy, let's retreat."

"Young Master Yingming, since it has been discussed, then let's act" Li Feng nodded loudly and said to Yuan Yin. Just when Yuan Yin listened to Li Feng's words and was about to agree, suddenly Ji Ling on the side spoke.
