In the arrest operation arranged by Yuan Shao and Feng Ji, not only Geng Wu and Min Chun were arrested, but also more than 20 Jizhou civil and military officials close to the Han family were arrested. Almost overnight, Geng Wu and the two of them were uprooted by Yuan Shao.

Wen Chou, who returned with a full load, walked into the main hall of the State Governor's Mansion with his head held high, and saluted Yuan Shao, who was sitting on it: "Qi Yu takes the initiative, the last general will not disgrace his mission, and he has already wiped out all the anti-thieves in Jizhou City." ”

After Yuan Shao listened, he smiled and said to Feng Ji next to him: "Yuan Tu's trick to lure the snake out of the hole is really powerful, and it actually wiped out the Han family's kid in Jizhou City, so that when we deploy troops to meet Gongsun Zhan, we don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard." ”

Feng Ji, who understood Yuan Shao's character, saw that Yuan Shao was in a good mood at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the initiative to ask for guilt: "Lord, Ji used to use the bandits and yellow turbans in Sheguo County to get rid of the Han family. Who would have thought that his life would be big, not only did he not die, but he became bigger, and now he dares to raise troops to invade the border, and ask the lord to atone for his sins. ”

Yuan Shao heard Feng Ji say this, waved his hand, and said disapprerovitically: "No one can be faultless if he is not a sage, no one would have expected that the children of the Han family would be able to toss like this." When we defeat Gongsun Zhan, we will go back to clean him up and let them go to Huangquan Road to be their companions, so as not to be lively if there is no one less. Hahaha~! ”

Wen Chou, who was standing on the side, waited for Feng Ji to laugh a few times, and then asked Yuan Shao: "May I ask the lord, how should these thieves be handled?" Isn't it ......," he said, gesturing with his hand to make a gesture of cutting off his head, "is it immediately clear that the canonical punishment will be made?" ”

"Yuantu, what do you say?" Yuan Shao didn't answer Wen Chou immediately, but turned his head and asked Feng Ji: "How should we deal with these thieves?" ”

"The lord can put them in prison first," Feng Ji said with a sneer: "When the army of the Han family kid comes to the city, we will be on the top of the city tower, in front of him, and kill these people one by one, so that the people of the world can see what kind of fate it will be to be enemies of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes." ”

"Good idea, good idea." After Yuan Shao heard Feng Ji's idea, he said yes in a loud voice, and instructed Wen Chou: "Wen Chou, put these thieves in prison first, and when the army of the Han family children arrives, they will be sent to the city tower to be punished." ”

Wen Chou agreed, and was about to leave, when suddenly a hundred-person general hurriedly ran in from outside, knelt down on one knee and reported to Yuan Shao: "Lord Qiqi, General Han Meng is asking to see you outside." ”

"Han Meng?!" Hearing the report of the hundred generals, Feng Ji couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "Shouldn't he be in Tantai?" What are you going to do when you go back to Jizhou at this time? ”

Just when Feng Ji was thinking nonsense, he heard Yuan Shao command loudly: "Pass him in!" ”

The hundred people agreed, got up and ran out of the main hall.

It didn't take much time, Han Meng, who was in crooked armor, stumbled into the main hall, and walked quickly in front of Yuan Shao in the surprised eyes of everyone, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a crying voice: "Lord, Tantai is lost!" ”

"What, Tantai is lost?" Hearing that Han Zhan had occupied Tantai, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "I heard that the Han family only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there are also 5,000 soldiers and horses in Tantai City, how could they be lost so quickly?" ”

"If you return to the lord, the last general saw that the Han family children were leading the troops, so he led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to fight, but he was defeated." Han Meng replied with a flustered expression: "Who knew that when the last general was about to withdraw into the city, Taishou Ding Huang closed the city gate, saying that he had already surrendered the Han family's children. The last general had no choice but to go around the city and return to Jizhou to report to the Lord. ”

After Yuan Shao listened to Han Meng's words, he once again overturned the table in front of him. He pointed at Han Meng with his finger, and said angrily: "Bold Han Meng, you actually damaged my soldiers and horses, and broke the sharpness of our army, what is the use of leaving you." Someone! ”

With Yuan Shao's shout, several soldiers on duty immediately appeared at the door, standing there with their heads held high, waiting for Yuan Shao's orders. Yuan Shao pointed at Han Meng, who was kneeling on the ground, with his hand, and roared angrily: "Drag him out and cut him off!" ”

The soldiers agreed, stepped forward to set up Han Meng, and dragged him out of the hall. Han Meng didn't expect Yuan Shao to order him to be killed, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted loudly: "The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life!" ”

"Wait!" Seeing Han Meng being dragged outside by the soldiers, Wen Chou couldn't help but feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and hurriedly drank the soldiers, and then bowed to Yuan Shao: "Lord, General Han has made many great contributions for you, so spare him!" ”

Seeing that Wen Chou had taken the lead in interceding for Han Meng, Feng Ji felt that he didn't say a word, and it seemed that he couldn't explain it, so he hurriedly stood up and pleaded for Han Meng: "Lord, now is the time to employ people, please be merciful to your subordinates, spare General Han, and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

Seeing that his closest confidants Wenwu were interceding for Han Meng, Yuan Shao also felt that it was a little inappropriate to kill Han Meng like this, so he hurriedly got off the donkey and said, "Okay, since Yuan Tu and Wen Chou intercede for him, he will be exempted from the death penalty." However, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the worst thing to drag on is fifty. ”

When Han Meng was dragged to the courtyard to start the execution, Yuan Shao became more and more irritable when he heard the sound of the board hitting the flesh outside. After walking back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back a few times, he stopped and instructed Wen Chou: "Except for Geng Wu and Min Chun, the rest of the thieves will immediately correct the law and hang their heads on the city wall to show the public." ”

"Whoa!" Wen Chou agreed loudly, turned around and prepared to carry out Yuan Shao's order, but was stopped by Feng Ji: "Wen Chou is slow." He hurriedly walked to Yuan Shao's side and persuaded: "Now these anti-thieves will be punished canonically, it is a little too cheap for them, it is better to wait for the soldiers and horses of the Han family to arrive in Jizhou, and then ...... them on the city wall."

"Yuantu, I've made up my mind." Without waiting for Feng Ji to finish speaking, Yuan Shao interrupted his later words, and said loudly at Wen Chou: "What are you still doing standing here, why don't you go to the execution soon." ”

…………

Just when Yuan Shao slaughtered the civil and military officials close to the Han family in Jizhou City, Han Zhan, who didn't know anything, led the army to set off again. Because Taishou Ding Huang sent another 3,000 soldiers to join, the number of the army has changed from 5,000 at the time of departure to 9,000.

On the way, Xun You said with emotion: "Envoy, when we set out, there were only 5,000 people, and there were 1,000 more people in Wu'an, and another 3,000 people here in Tantai. It is estimated that by the time we reach the city of Jizhou, the total number of troops will reach at least 20,000. ”

There are soldiers in hand, and there is no panic in my heart. Looking at the growing team, Han Zhan was full of confidence in retaking Jizhou.
