But the opportunity is fleeting, and if he stays so sluggish, Zhang Rang is likely to escape with the young emperor.

At this time, Cao Cao stood up and asked Yuan Shao: "Victory is in sight, why did you stop moving forward at the beginning?" ”

Yuan Shao frowned, pointed to the tide-like insects not far away and said, "It's not that I don't want to move forward, it's that these insects are blocking the way and have to stop." ”

Cao Cao said: "The two tigers are fighting, either you die or I die, and now Zhang Rang is on the run with the young emperor, if you don't get rid of it, you will let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!" ”

"Besides, marching and fighting, even if it is a high mountain and a big river, you have to manage to get through, let alone just a swarm of bugs?"

Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu was unconvinced: "Cao Mengde, you said it lightly, you look at those things, even people eat them, if you are so capable, why don't you go over and show us yourself?" ”

Seeing Yuan Shu's sarcastic remarks, Cao Cao was not angry, but laughed and said, "What's so difficult about that? It's just that if everyone knows that I, Cao Mengde, have a way, and the Yuan brothers are helpless, it will inevitably make people feel that the Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third duke, and there are many talents, but from this point of view, it is an exaggeration! ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu was so angry that he actually pulled out his sword, and it seemed that he wanted to cut Cao Cao.

But as soon as he started his hand, a cold light shone through.

Yuan Shu only felt that the murderous aura was compelling, and a bright spear was unconsciously pointed at his throat, as long as he was close an inch, he could be killed on the spot.

Yuan Shu was shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't even see how others made a move, and he was hit by a spear.

If the two armies were fighting on the battlefield, Yuan Shu would have died a long time ago, and the reason why he was okay now shows that the other party cares about face, so he will stop at the point.

I saw this man with a spear in his hand, more than eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, and his face was extremely powerful and domineering, especially his eyes, exuding a strong murderous aura.

This person is Xiahoudun, he has been close to Cao Cao since he was a child, and now Cao Cao is leading the army to chase and kill the ten permanent servants, he is naturally also by Cao Cao's side, when he sees Yuan Shu angrily draw his sword, he does not wait for Yuan Shu's sword to draw

Out of the sheath, Xiahoudun's spear had already pointed to Yuan Shu's throat.

If this Yuan Shu dared to act rashly, Xiahou Xuan's spear would not show mercy.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard, although Yuan Shu was not the captain of the Xiyuan Army, but his brother Yuan Shao became the supreme commander of the Xiyuan Army because Jian Shuo was dead.

That Yuan Shu is his younger brother, so everyone also has to look at Yuan Shao's face to protect Yuan Shu's thoughtfulness.

So when Xiahoudun's spear was pressed against Yuan Shu's throat, the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army also took out their weapons and aimed them at Xiahoudun, wanting him to feel frightened and put down their weapons.

But how could Xiahoudun be a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, even if there were thousands of troops and horses in front of him, how could he make him retreat at all?

So, for a while, everyone was deadlocked.

At this moment, Cao Cao laughed, he patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, and said: "Yuan Rang, everyone is friends, just kidding, why are you serious?" ”

"But when I look at him, it doesn't look like he's joking at all, you know, I will never let go of anyone who wants to kill you, as long as Meng De nods, I can kill him now!"

Xiahoudun has a cold face, he is not like Cao Cao, he is not as good as Cao Cao, for those who threaten his brothers, whether it is ordinary people, or princes and nobles, he will fight with his life, this was the case before, and it will be like this in the future, he is such an upright man.

Xiahoudun's words made the people around him break out in a cold sweat, in case this reckless man really killed Yuan Shu, then the matter would be serious.

You must know that although a large part of these Xiyuan troops are Yuan Shao's subordinates, there are also many people who follow Cao Cao, in case the two sides are deadlocked, this Xiyuan army will be divided into two and fight.

Faced with the imminent situation, Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Haha, of course he is joking about the highway!" ”

Saying that, he gave his younger brother Yuan Shu a look.

This Yuan Shao is much more clever than his younger brother Yuan Shu, he is not worried about the life and death of his younger brother Yuan Shu, on the contrary, because the family relationship between the two brothers is not harmonious, Yuan Shao even hopes that this will compete with him

The person who inherits the family dies early.

But thinking about it, what they have to face now is the enemy of the entire Shi clan, if these people don't die, then let alone Yuan Shao himself, even the entire Shi clan alliance will be retaliated against by them, and the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shao temporarily put aside his personal grievances and united all the forces that could be used to achieve victory in this struggle.

For this reason, he can kill all the people in the palace to ensure that this operation is foolproof, or in order to maintain the unity of this Xiyuan army, he can put down his body and tolerate Xiahoudun's domineering and unreasonable.

This point, even Cao Cao has to admire, perhaps, before Yuan Shao is strong and becomes conceited, he is indeed a difficult opponent to match, but this is all for later.

Yuan Shu was not stupid enough to suffer the immediate loss, although he was surrounded by people from his side, but once Xiahoudun made a move, he would not be able to live.

Even if he can kill this reckless man in the future, it is really not worth taking his life for this.

As the noble concubine of the Yuan family, he is even more noble than his brother Yuan Shao, especially now that their father is in poor health, it is not clear how long he can live, if he has something wrong with himself, wouldn't the inheritance of the Yuan family be cheaper than the son born of this slut?

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shu suddenly understood the stakes, and knew that he couldn't be angry at this time and endanger his precious life.

So, holding back his anger, he put his sword back in its scabbard and said, "Yes, I was just joking. ”

In the face of Xiahoudun's threat, even this arrogant Yuan Shu had to bow his head, Cao Cao saw this, and said to Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, you see, even the highway himself said that he was just joking, if you don't let go, won't it seem that we can't afford to joke, don't we have a sense of humor?" ”

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xiahoudun silently withdrew the spear.

From beginning to end, the spear in his hand was kept at a distance of an inch from Yuan Shu's throat, neither shaking nor slackening, and always maintained a state of readiness, if anyone dared to make a rash move, his spear would kill this guy at any time.
