"As far as I know, the Han family is a cautious person." After listening to Yan Liang's explanation, Feng Ji said coldly: "How could he send a draft to you by mistake?" It is clear that you have colluded with him in private, and you are afraid that the lord will find out, so you will erase the important points in the letter. ”

The suspicious Yuan Shao heard Feng Ji say this, and forcefully slammed the letter in his hand at Yan Liang's feet, and shouted angrily: "Yan Liang, what else do you have to say? ”

Yan Liang, who was full of grievances, became angry, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and explained to Yuan Shao: "The lord is angry, Yan has always been loyal to the lord, how can he do such a thing of collusion with outsiders?" ”

At this moment, a loud voice came from the door of the lobby: "Lord, you are wrong to blame General Yan Liang." ”

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see the prison guard striding in from outside. He came to Yuan Shao's desk and bowed: "I have seen the lord!" ”

Yuan Shao snorted heavily, and asked rhetorically: "Gonghe, you said that Yuan was wrong to blame Yan Liang, but do you have any evidence?" ”

Fu Zhu bent down to pick up the letter on the ground, and after quickly reading the contents on it, he put the letter on Yuan Shao's desk, and said confidently: "My lord, if you are not mistaken, this is a divisive plan that the Han family's subordinates came up with. They deliberately smeared the important parts of the letters and made a big deal about them when they sent them, just to get the attention of the lord. When the lord saw that there were so many smears on the letter, he would inevitably be suspicious of General Yan Liang, and in anger, he would remove him from his official position and deprive him of his military power, so that the Han family children would have a chance. ”

Yuan Shao was originally a person who had no opinions, but after listening to his generous speech, he thought about it carefully, and felt that Yan Liang was indeed loyal to him, so he reproached Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu, I misheard your words, and I almost blamed the good people for it." After speaking, he got up and walked around the table, stepped forward to help Yan Liang up, and comforted him with kind words.

After Yuan Shao sat back in his position, he looked at Fu Zhu and asked, "Gonghe, now that there is Gongsun Zan in the east, Han Xiao'er in the south, and Zhang Yan's 50,000 army in the west, how can we retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Returning to the lord," Fu Zhi replied confidently, "there are three thousand soldiers and horses of Lu Yi in the boundary bridge, and although the number is far less than that of Gongsun Zhan, there is no problem in blocking it. Zhang Yan's army in the west was nothing more than a rabble, and the 10,000 troops of the eldest prince and General Wen Chou were enough to break it. ”

"What about the Han family child in the south?" Yuan Shao felt bad when he thought that his second son and several generals were captured by Han Zhan, and after listening to the analysis of the frustrated professor, he immediately asked: "Dog Zi and General Chunyu are still locked up in the prison of Guangping City, how can they be rescued?" ”

"It's actually very simple to save the second son and General Chunyu." What Yuan Shao was worried about, Fu Zhi had obviously already considered: "We can exchange Geng Wu and Min Chun who are locked up in prison. ”

"What, exchange it for Geng Wu Min Chun?" Yuan Shao's head shook like a rattle for this suggestion, "I can't wait to break these two anti-thieves into pieces, how can I use them to exchange them with the Han family's children?" ”

"My lord," Feng Ji, who had always been dissatisfied with Fu Zhu and opposed him everywhere, said unexpectedly: "I agree with the proposal of the Fu Jian Jun to exchange Geng Wu and Min Chun for the second prince and General Chunyu. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji, frowned and said, "Yuan Tu, I really didn't expect that you would have such an idea." ”

Feng Ji hurriedly came to the table and whispered to Yuan Shao: "Lord, the subordinates only agreed to exchange because of ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and continued in a voice that only he and Yuan Shao could hear. A few paces away, Frustrated prick up his ears, trying to hear what they were saying, but heard nothing.

After listening to Feng Ji's suggestion, Yuan Shao suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, it's really a wonderful plan!" Yuantu, then I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Feng Ji agreed, turned around and walked out. As soon as Feng Ji left, Yuan Shao continued to ask Feng Ji: "Gonghe, do you have any way to deal with the Han family?" ”

Fu Zhu pondered for a moment and replied, "The lord can send someone to Guan Tao to recruit Zhang He, the captain of the school, to attack Guangping City, so that the Han family children will not be able to send troops to attack Jizhou in a short time. When the eldest prince defeated the Black Mountain Army and General Lu Yi repelled Gongsun Zhan, then we joined forces and went south to recapture Guangping City. ”

After patiently listening to the strategy of the frustrated teaching, Yuan Shao asked a little worriedly: "Zhang He used to be the old department of the Han clan, let him attack Guangping City, he won't defect on the verge of battle, right?" ”

"Please rest assured," Fu Zhu assured Yuan Shao, "Zhang He is a filial son, his family is in Jizhou City, he does not dare to betray the lord easily." ”

Knowing that Zhang He's family members were all in Jizhou City, Yuan Shao suddenly felt at ease, and he knew in his heart that no matter how bold Zhang He was, he would not dare to betray himself casually. Therefore, he instructed Fu Zhu: "Since this is the case, then Gonghe should quickly repair the book to Zhang Junyi, obviously he quickly led his troops to attack Guangping City." ”

…………

When it was dark, a messenger sent by Yuan Shao came to Guangping City and handed a letter to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan unfolded the letter and read it, and said that he was willing to use Geng Wu and Min Chun to exchange for the captured Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong and others. After reading the letter, Han Zhan said to the messenger: "Messenger, you rushed back overnight to tell Yuan Shao that Ben Hou agreed to the exchange. ”

After the messenger left, Han Zhan handed over the letter to Guo Jia, Xun You and others to circulate, and said with emotion: "Ben Hou is worried about how to rescue Geng Wu and Min Chun, but I didn't expect Yuan Thief to send someone to send a letter to fight, planning to exchange the two of them for Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong and others who were captured by our army. ”

After Guo Jia read the letter, he frowned and said: "Little Hou Ye, Jia feels that this matter is a bit strange, why didn't Yuan Shao change people early or late, but after we used the discord strategy, he couldn't wait to propose a replacement?" ”

Han Zhan didn't have much hope at all when he tried to disagree with Yuan Shao, because strategists like Fu Zhu and Tian Feng could easily see through this kind of scheme. However, he agreed with what Guo Jia said, Yuan Shao actually offered to exchange Geng Wu and Min Chun after seeing through his own divisive plan, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a complete conspiracy.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of any flaws in it, because the exchange place selected by Yuan Shao was only ten miles away from Guangping City, and the cavalry in the city could arrive at most a stick of incense, and Yuan Shao had no possibility of engaging in conspiracy at all.

Puzzled, he shook his head vigorously, and then ordered: "Dian Wei, Xiahou Lan, tomorrow lead fifty cavalry, go with me to exchange." Zilong stayed in the city, let the cavalrymen not dismount their horses or unsaddles, and as soon as they saw the signal from us, they immediately attacked. ”

As soon as Han Zhan's words were finished, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Dian Wei came out of the ranks, and at the same time replied: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

…………

At noon the next day, Han Zhan took Dian Wei, Xiahou Lan and fifty cavalrymen to escort Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong, Lu Weihuang and others to the exchange place. After waiting for a long time, I saw a group of people coming from the opposite side, carrying a banner with the word "Yuan".

After the two sides stopped at a distance of two hundred paces, a cavalryman on the opposite side rushed to a stop about twenty steps away from Han Zhan and shouted: "Lord Han, my general Yan Liang wants to send someone to verify his true identity, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Before exchanging, it is a basic rule to find out whether the person brought by the other party is the person you want to exchange. Therefore, after listening to the shouts of the cavalry, Han Zhan nodded in agreement.

Soon after the cavalry returned to the queue, Han Zhan saw a military general with a helmet and armor, riding his horse empty-handed. After the other party approached, he saw clearly that it was really Yan Liang who came. He hurriedly arched his hand towards the other party and said politely: "General Yan Liang, it's been a long time!" I wonder how it has been? ”

Yan Liang snorted and said coldly: "Little Hou Ye almost killed Yan with a letter yesterday. Where is Yan still better?! After a pause, he said to Han Zhan, "Yan stayed here as a hostage, please ask the little marquis to go over and check in person if there is someone you want to change on the other side?" ”

Han Zhan had carefully checked it just now, and among the people he brought, none of them knew Geng Wu and Min Chun, so if he went to check on the matter, even if Yan Liang didn't tell him personally, he would go there in person. He rode his horse across the open field, and came to a stop a dozen paces away from the other side, and carefully examined the two unkempt prisoners in the cavalry in prison uniforms and on horseback. After seeing clearly that it was Geng Wu and Min Chun, he hurriedly arched his hand towards the other party: "The two adults have suffered, please wait again, Zhan immediately exchanged with Yan Liang." ”

After Han Zhan and Yan Liang each returned to their formations, they saw the flags on the opposite side waving a few times, which meant that the exchange ceremony had officially begun. The people to be exchanged all rode out of the queue and quickly ran to the opposite camp.

Seeing that the horses ridden by Geng Wu and Min Chun rushed in front of him, Han Zhan's hanging heart was finally put down, he was deeply afraid that Yan Liang would make some small moves during the exchange, such as shooting Geng Min and the others with dark arrows. But seeing that the two of them had arrived safely at his side at this moment, Han Zhan felt that he was a little bit of a villain's heart, and he was wrong to blame Yan Liang.

After the exchange ceremony, Yan Liang Nabiao's cavalry immediately turned their horses' heads and quickly headed towards Jizhou along the official road.

"Two adults, you have suffered. Please follow Zhan back to Quang Binh City! After Han Zhan and Geng Min exchanged a few words, they ordered to nod back to Guangping, and he began to think in his heart that if Geng Wu did not object, he would appoint him as the Taishou of Guangping.

Everyone talked and laughed along the way, and Geng Min and the others were glad that they had escaped, and expressed their gratitude to Han Zhan again and again. And Han Zhan had two more officials who were good at internal affairs, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

However, for the sake of safety, he still asked Geng Wu tentatively: "Geng Changshi, now that Guangping County is lacking a Taishou, I wonder if you are willing to take this position?" ”

After Geng Wu heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face: "Since the son trusts the old man so much, the old man is naturally the one who will not give in." ”

Seeing that it was only more than 100 steps away from the Guangping City Gate, there was a sudden change. Geng Wu, who was talking to Han Zhan, suddenly paused, and then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Seeing Geng Wu's body slumping softly towards his side, Han Zhan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the other party, and asked nervously, "Geng Changshi, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I hate Feng Ji," Geng Wu looked up at Han Zhan, and said weakly: "Early in the morning, he said that he would send us on the road and prepare wine and food for us, but I didn't expect that there would be wine and food in it... Poisonous..."Before he could finish his words, he tilted his head and lost his breath.

Han Zhan hurriedly looked at Min Chun on the side, and saw that the other party was also lying motionless on the back of the horse, obviously dying of anger.

"Fengji dog thief," Han Zhan hugged Geng Wu's corpse, raised his head and roared: "Sooner or later, I will break your corpse into ten thousand pieces to avenge today's revenge!" ”
