Chapter 146: I am the Mandate of Heaven!
It didn't take long for the news of Yecheng to reach Fuyang City.
At this time, Lu Yi and Zhang He were still holding Nanpi City with a blank face, and the soldiers of the two armies met every day to pee and say hello across the air.
They hadn't even received the news yet, and they didn't know that Yuan Tan had been sent to the Western Heaven by Zhao Yun with an arrow.
They also have no channel to get the news, maybe they have to rely on Zhang Fei and them to say, it is possible to know, but at this time, the news has not yet spread.
Liu Bei and Chen Chen's instructions were to ask Zhao Yun to directly send someone to send Yuan Tan's body to Xu Huang's army, so that Xu Huang and Xu Shu could return the body to Yuan Shao, and reminded not to use Yuan Tan's corpse to make a fuss.
It can be regarded as respect for Tian Feng and Yuan Shao.
The funeral car went south.
However, dark clouds began to gather at the junction of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and there was a faint color of wind and thunder.
It seemed like all of a sudden, it would rain heavily.
After Xu Huang and Xu Shu learned the news, they could only follow Chen Chen and Liu Bei's decision, let the funeral car change into plain clothes, and send Yuan Shao to the army with the specifications of the funeral team, so as to ensure their safety.
When this convoy dressed in plain clothes appeared outside Linzi City, the soldiers on the city wall were a little vigilant, thinking that this was some trick used by the Dingyuan army.
But this convoy is not large, and it is moving slowly, and there are no other teams around, and the scouts from outside the city have come back to report, and there are no ambushes nearby, so this convoy is really here to send the mourners.
So what is it that will come to mourn at this time?
In fact, Gao Ran's first reaction to defending the city was that this was the psychological warfare of the Dingyuan army, and they wanted to use the name of mourning to anger the lord, so that the lord lost his sense of proportion and took the initiative to attack the Dingyuan army.
But when the convoy stopped at the bottom of the city, the young general at the head shouted towards the city walls.
"It's convenient to open the city gate, and we will send your eldest son back."
Gao Ran naturally didn't know who the eldest prince was, but he didn't believe that the eldest prince, who was sitting on the entire Bohai County and had Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw under his command, would die like this, and he was lying in this mourning car.
So the eldest prince is here, what about the others?
For this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, and after Gao Ran asked people to make sure that there were no other armies around to ambush, let this convoy in, and be vigilant, beware of this team from breaking out.
The young general who escorted the funeral car was not bad, and the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan Shao who surrounded them did not have any fear, and calmly handed over the things that General Long had explained to him with Gao Ran, who was frowning.
"The eldest prince of Yuan unfortunately fell in the battle of Fuyang City, my lord is benevolent, send me and others to send the eldest prince back, the task is completed, we will leave, and avoid misunderstanding."
The young general threw the funeral car here, took his hand under Gao Lan, and withdrew from Linzi City step by step.
Gao Ran had the mentality that more things are better than less, so he didn't stop them from leaving, he went to the funeral car, stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the white cloth, he looked at the head of the corpse.
Just one glance, sweat flowed down Gao Ran's forehead.
The beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down to the ground and turned into a puddle of water.
This corpse.
It's really the eldest prince's.
Gao Ran has seen Yuan Tan many times, and the helmet placed next to Yuan Tan, as well as the armor he is wearing, Gao Ran can also recognize that this is the golden armor that Yuan Shao personally gave to Yuan Tan.
"Quick!"
"Go and tell your lord!"
Gao Ran shouted a few times, and his breath was much shorter.
He is not just a simple military general, and his sense of smell in politics is also relatively sensitive.
He could foresee that if the eldest prince died like this, a new change would definitely occur on his side, and it was likely that the main guild would start a war against Liu Bei again.
This thing is his next, and he doesn't know if he should carry this pot or not.
Gao Ran asked people to continue to be vigilant around, guard the city well, and let the deputy general continue to patrol and command on the city wall, and he immediately followed the funeral car to report to Yuan Shaoyu.
They quickly rushed to the outside of the county government in Linzi City, but first entered the county capital in a mourning car.
But Gao Ran didn't enter.
He waited outside the county hall, a little frightened, he didn't know what he would face when he waited to get in, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing.
"General Gao, the lord will let you in."
I don't know how long it took, but one of the staff members suddenly came out of the county hall and shouted high.
This Yuan Shao's staff had a good personal relationship with Gao Ran, and when Gao Ran got up to enter the county government, he attached it to Gao Ran's ear and gently reminded him.
"Don't say anything, just nod and shake your head, it's better not to talk."
Gao Ran glanced at him gratefully, this news is very important, which shows that Yuan Shao is not in a good mood, and he must not touch his moldy head at this time, otherwise it is possible that his efforts and accumulation over the years will disappear today.
Walking with the attendants in the county hall.
This place was changed by Yuan Shao to the General's Mansion, although the specifications are not enough, but Yuan Shao still values this name, so the etiquette is in place.
Gao Ran was led to the front of the hall, the windows on all sides were not open, and the door was only half open.
The hall was dim, and there seemed to be no light in sight.
Gao Ran was a little chuckled in his heart, if he knew this scene, he would definitely not have a good atmosphere, but this matter was his bad luck, and he was in charge of Linzi's city defense, so he could only enter here hard.
"Sin will be exalted, and I will see the Lord."
Gao Ran decided to have a preconceived idea, entered the hall, and didn't dare to look around, came in and walked to the right place, bowed his head, and slammed his head on the ground, making a muffled sound.
But when he was bowing down just now, he still saw Yuan Shao.
Although it was only for a moment, he still remembered the face of Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the top seat, there was no expression on his face, because Gao Ran couldn't see clearly at all, his face was shrouded in darkness for most of the time, and only the light that came in from outside the door of the hall fell on half of his face, making his face half dark and half faint, and it looked even more unclear.
Gao Ran didn't have the courage to take a second look, so he could only crouch on the ground.
"You are not guilty, what are you called a guilty minister?"
Yuan Shao's voice sounded from above, but Gao Ran didn't dare to look up at all, he just continued to press his forehead against the floor, and his sweat began to soak his clothes.
However, he felt that in front of him, it should be Yuan Shao, who stepped down from the top and walked in front of him step by step.
"Jin Yong, get up, it's not your fault, and I'm not the person who gets angry like you think."
Suddenly, Gao Ran felt a force on his shoulders to lift himself up, and his head was unconsciously raised, this person who lifted himself up turned out to be his own lord Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu.
It turns out that the strength of the lord is also very strong?
Gao Ran felt Yuan Shao's strength, although he was afraid that disobedience would hurt the lord, but to be able to pick himself up like this, the lord's physical fitness was still very good.
What he saw was not Yuan Shao's smile or seriousness.
It is a very serious expression, and there is a sense of justice that the responsibility of the world is its own responsibility.
This kind of expression gives people a great shock to face directly.
"Tan Er's death is because his skills are not as good as others."
"But."
After Yuan Shao helped Gao Ran to stand firm, he slowly paced to the door of the hall, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and the whole person was bathed in the sunshine that poured in.
The wind, rain, thunder and lightning that had just come with the funeral convoy dissipated at this time, only the scorching sun hung high in the air, and the light enveloped Yuan Shao, making his figure more majestic and more convincing in the light.
This seems to be the heavens perceiving Yuan Shao's thoughts and complying with Yuan Shao's needs.
"He Liu Xuande must have the heart to kill me."
"But at the beginning of my Yuan, I stood up for morality in the world, supported the Han in danger, and took it as my responsibility to help the world."
"Heaven will not kill me, no one will kill me!"
"I am the destiny of heaven!"
Yuan Shao's voice was full of firm confidence, as if Yuan Tan's corpse was sent back, not a blow to him, but a war book handed over by Liu Bei, so that he could fight with chicken blood.
"Liu Xuande disobeyed the mandate of heaven, today, I will cut it down on behalf of heaven!"
Yuan Shao was not afraid that his arrogant actions would be attacked by others, because the people under his account were all his people, and it is estimated that they hoped that they could take this step more than themselves, so that their group interests could be higher.
However, Yuan Shao still left some leeway for himself.
He only said that he was the destiny of heaven and fought Liu on behalf of heaven.
But he did not say that he was the Son of Heaven and wanted to be the emperor.
In fact, this is a bit of a change of concept, and it is even clear that Lao Tzu is the emperor himself, but to tell you that I am not the emperor, but the destiny of heaven.
Yuan Shao's fighting spirit seemed to be burning with his destiny.
And the momentum on his body began to become visible to the naked eye.
This can be seen with the naked eye, it is not an exaggeration, but it can really see the monstrous momentum on Yuan Shao's body.
Because the career card on Yuan Shao's body has appeared, and his career card is constantly rotating, as his career card rotates, the influence range of the momentum on his body is also constantly expanding, enveloping the entire hall.
In the originally dim and lightless hall, there was not a single place that was not covered by light, and this was the light that came out of Yuan Shao's body.
This light brings practical uplift and encouragement, and it lifts the spirits of those present.
Gao Ran also felt the encouragement brought by Yuan Shao.
This is Yuan Shao's innate skill, and it is the energy brought by the professional card camp.
It seems that every time they choose their opponent's side to fight, once the enemy's strength is stronger than their own, then they can rely on the enemy's strength to get a strength bonus, which is a subtle feeling.
It seems that they are born to fight against the trend?
Especially when they first started to fight Dong Zhuo, they could feel their own extremely high bonus, but as the alliance of the princes defeated Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army one after another, they felt that the bonus in their bodies began to decay continuously.
And is it possible that after Jizhou started, will they still have a weaker time than now?
Gao Ran looked around the hall at this time, and was shocked to find that the generals and ministers who followed Yuan Shao to Qingzhou were all here.
It seems that Yuan Shao had known about the situation and the result for a long time, and summoned people here in advance.
He also saw Fu Zhi standing next to the top position, looking at Yuan Shao's back with blazing eyes, and Gao Ran could even see the recognition and firmness in Fu Zhu's eyes.
But how should this battle be fought?
As an early general of Yuan Shao, and now he is also one of the top generals in the Yuan army, Gao Ran will definitely analyze the current situation first.
Now Liu Xuande sits on the land of Mergezhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and three states, and the world's famous generals are gathered under his account, and the top plotters are gathered, hundreds of thousands of troops, the troops are strong, and the soldiers are all attacking.
However, he now only has half of Qingzhou's territory, and he is surrounded by enemies, and there are Zhang Yan's thieves harassing Lian Zhan on his side, and Kong Rong and Liu Zongguo are eyeing him behind, with less than 100,000 soldiers and less than 100,000 cities.
With such a gap in strength, how should we fight in order to have a chance to defeat Liu Xuande, who is now in full swing?
Or let's start with the more recent ones.
How to defeat the Dingyuan army that has been blocking the way in front of you and has always been very stable?
But I don't know why, what Gao Ran got from Yuan Shao was not only energy, but also trust in Yuan Shao.
He seemed to feel the kind of faith and firmness in Yuan Shao, and he found that he had always liked to worry about the east and the west, and he was even firm, and there was an idea that my lord was the mandate of heaven and our army was the army of heaven.
This kind of influence is too powerful, right?
Gao Ran, who reacted, looked at Yuan Shao's back, his eyes were full of fear and respect, Yuan Shao's influence even had a spiritual impact.
Although it is morale-boosting and can give soldiers more courage, this ability to affect people's minds will still make people afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay, let's all go down and prepare, the prince is mainly responsible for arranging war preparations."
Yuan Shao spoke again, he looked into the distance, looking at the blazing sun.
Tears seeped from the corners of his eyes, as if the stimulation of staring directly into the sun made him unable to control his tears.
"Let's all disperse."
"Three days later, Qingzhou will be recovered."
Well, after Yuan Shao boosted his morale, he announced that he would fight Liu Bei, but in fact, he still had to take advantage of this morale to fight Qingzhou first, take Qingzhou into his own hands, and then fight Liu Bei after stabilizing the rear.
"No!"
"My Lord is the Destiny of Heaven! This battle will be won! ”
I don't know who started it, and all the ministers in the hall shouted loudly, this momentum is really in place.
I don't know if I thought they were going to unify the whole country today.
