Chapter 866: Liu Xiu's ruthlessness
Yan Liangwen, who returned with Yu Wenhua and his head, thought that he would be rewarded by Yuan Shao, but he was severely reprimanded instead.
"What did I tell you? Capture Yu culture alive, you must be captured alive, do you two have no ears, or do you turn your head and forget my orders? ”
Looking at the angry lord, Yan Liangwen was also very aggrieved in his heart.
Yan Liang stood up at this time, and said angrily: "Lord, how dare I forget your order, it's just that the battlefield is changing, and anything may happen, and the last general is beyond the reach of the whip." ”
Yuan Shao also knew that what Yan Liang said was right, it was too normal to be killed by a stray arrow on the battlefield, Yu Wenhua and his death could only be regarded as his bad luck, and Yuan Shao could not really hold himself responsible for the sake of a dead Yu Wenhua.
Yuan Shao originally wanted to rely on the capture of Yu Culture and to force Yuwen Chengdu to surrender, after all, Yu Wenhua and Yuwen Chengdu are the father of Yuwen Chengdu, and Yuwen Chengdu is famous for his filial piety. But now that Yu Wenhua is dead, everything is naturally impossible.
As soon as he thought that he and Yuwen Chengdu, the second fierce general in the martial arts list, Yuan Shao was extremely depressed in his heart, and after a long breath of turbidity, he said lightly: "That's it......"
Seeing this, Liu Xiu below couldn't help but flash a hint of discoloration in his eyes, he thought that Yuan Shao pursued overnight to vent his anger, but the real intention was to subdue Yuwen Chengdu.
It seems that he still underestimated Yuan Shao, but fortunately, he arranged his back hand. Liu Xiu said secretly in his heart.
After the meeting, Liu Xiu returned to his tent, where a lieutenant in leather armor was already waiting.
When the man saw Liu Xiu, he immediately clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the task is complete." ”
The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised slightly, and asked, "You haven't been discovered, have you?" ”
"Absolutely not, the subordinates were very careful when they attacked, and they fled directly after a blow, and no one found out."
Liu Xiu patted the man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Good job, you have made great achievements this time, and I will definitely reward you." ”
"Thank you, Lord."
The man first showed joy, and then asked with some hesitation: "Lord, why do you want to ......?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
Liu Xiu's eyes immediately flashed with a cold light, and he slowly walked up to the main seat and sat down, and said coldly: "You have been following me for five years, you should know what to ask and what not to ask." ”
Looking at Liu Xiu's cold eyes, the man immediately shuddered, and hurriedly crawled to the ground, trembling and said: "The subordinates understand, the subordinates understand, this secret subordinate will definitely rot in the stomach, and there will definitely be no third person who knows." ”
Liu Xiu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "It's good to know, go down and get the reward." ”
"Thank you, Lord."
As if he had been pardoned, the man hurriedly got up and walked out, but before he could reach the door, he heard a 'poof' sound, and a long sword pierced his chest.
Looking at the long sword on his chest, the man showed a look of disbelief, and after turning around with difficulty, he saw that Liu Xiu was maintaining this throwing posture.
The man vomited blood foaming in his mouth, and said with great difficulty: "Lord, subordinate, I have been with you for ten years, why?" ”
Liu Xiu's eyes were cold, and he slowly leaned behind the man, and said lightly: "Only dead people can keep secrets forever." ”
After that, Liu Xiu directly pulled out the sword, and the man fell to the ground staring at Liu Xiu without a blink.
killed a loyal subordinate with his own hands, but Liu Xiu's eyes did not have the slightest wave, but looked at the man's corpse, and said lightly: "Don't worry, Ben will take care of your family for you and ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives." ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiu walked out directly, and not long after he left, the man's eyes closed by himself.
Outsiders thought that Yu Wenhua died under Yuan Shao's hands, but in fact, the person who secretly killed him was Liu Xiu's faction, and Liu Xiu's reason for doing this was the same as Yuan Shao's, he wanted to subdue Yuwen Chengdu, a fierce general, but Liu Xiu's methods were much more ruthless than Yuan Shao's.
In Liu Xiu's opinion, Dong Zhuo will definitely be defeated sooner or later, and although he Liu Xiu betrayed Dong Zhuo, after all, he is also from the Liangzhou lineage, so he can naturally fight for a little 'inheritance' left by Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xiu and Yuwen Chengdu are old acquaintances, the two also joined forces to block Qin Hao in Wuguan, and now Liu Xiu sent someone to kill Yu Wenhua and blame Yuan Shao, which also blocked Yuwen Chengdu's way to surrender most of the princes of the coalition army, and Liu Xiu is Yuwen Chengdu's friend, and the possibility of subduing him is naturally the greatest.
After Liu Xiu came to the account, he raised his head and looked at the north, and whispered to himself: "Brother Chengdu, don't blame me, I was also forced to have no choice, besides, I have already avenged you, and now I really need your help." ”
If Qin Hao knew Liu Xiu's thoughts, he would definitely give Liu Xiu a thumbs up and say: Divine brain circuit.
Although the idea of killing your father was my idea, it was not my hand, and I also killed the killer, which can be regarded as indirectly avenging your father!
I have to say that Liu Xiu's ability to shirk responsibility for himself is really too strong to be strong, and Yuwen Chengdu made him a friend, which can be regarded as a blood mold for 800 lifetimes.

Yuan Shaojun was much more united than Sun Jianjun, so after capturing Xuanyuan Pass, he only took a short rest, and immediately reorganized his army to join Sun Jianjun.
The two armies of the southeast and south routes, after the division, the strength was as high as 160,000, but at this time, the strength in Yique Pass was only 25,000, of which 5,000 were still the defeated army that Wang Fang brought back from Guangcheng Pass.
In fact, 25,000 troops are not a lot, and the defensive strength of Yique Pass is not much inferior to that of Tiger Pass, as long as the guards are properly deployed, it is not a problem to hold Yique Pass at all.
However, the coalition army broke through the two major Xiongguan in a row, which greatly hit the morale of the Liang army, and Yang Su received another 5,000 defeated troops, and the mood of these defeated troops also affected the defenders in the pass.
The morale of the defenders in Yique Pass was greatly reduced due to Li Shimin's defeat in the Tiger Prison Pass and the breakthrough of two Xiong Passes, and they were affected by the defeated army in the pass, and the current morale can be said to be worse.
The guard general Yang Su actually regretted it in his heart, he knew that these people would not only not be able to help but also add to the chaos, so it was better to directly transfer this group of defeated troops to Luoyang, but now it is too late to say anything.
Yang Su used all means to stabilize the morale problem in the pass, but it was undoubtedly very difficult to hold Yique Pass with this group of soldiers with low morale.
In desperation, Yang Su could only write letters to Yang Jian in Luoyang and Li Shimin in Tiger Prison for help.
