Xin Ping and Xun Chen, escorted by several henchmen, took advantage of the chaos to escape from Jizhou, and fled to Jieqiao non-stop, preparing to report to Yuan Shao.

When they fled to a distance of thirty miles from Jizhou, everyone slowed down their horses. Xin Ping asked Xun Chen curiously: "Youruo, it was Ling's nephew Han Zhan who captured Jizhou, why did you escape from Jizhou with us?" ”

Xun Chen smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically: "What about Zhongzhi you, didn't Ling Brother Xinbi marry his daughter Xin Xianying to the youngest son of the Han family, you and the Han family should also be considered in-laws, why did you also want to escape from Jizhou?" ”

Xin Ping shook his head and said with a bitter face: "When the lord was able to enter Jizhou, you and I were in it. Now that the Han family kid has recaptured Jizhou, he will definitely kill all the people who helped the lord in the past. Don't look at you and me and him, if you continue to stay in Jizhou, it is estimated that you will not be able to escape a knife. ”

Xun Chen turned his head and glanced in the direction of Jizhou City, and urged Xin Ping with some weakness: "Zhongzhi, we have to rush to the Jieqiao as soon as possible to report to the Lord, so that he can take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to be copied by my nephew." ”

The group quickly came to the outside of Guangzong City, and when they saw the big banner with the word "Yuan" floating at the head of the city, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that Gongsun Chan had not yet hit here. The military Sima who defended the city knew Xun Chen and Xin Ping, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let everyone enter the city.

Jun Sima went down to the city tower and personally went to the city gate to greet the two strategists under Yuan Shao. Xun Chen arched his hand towards the other party, and said anxiously: "We have 100,000 urgent military information, and we want to report to the lord and ask the military Sima to quickly send someone to guide us." ”

"Two gentlemen," Hearing Xun Chen's words, Jun Sima hurriedly replied, "The lord is not in the city. ”

Jun Sima's words surprised the two, and Xun Chen asked nervously, "Where is the lord?" ”

"Yesterday, General Lu Yi defeated Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and also beheaded General Yan Gang." Jun Sima didn't know what the battle of the Jieqiao was going on at the moment, so he could only answer truthfully: "The lord personally led the army this morning and rushed to the Jieqiao with General Lu Yi, and joined General Yan Liang, who was camped there, to prepare for a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan there. ”

"Do you know what's going on ahead?"

Jun Sima nodded, and then said: "There was a horse scout who reported that General Lu Yi killed Gongsun Chan and chased him down, presumably our army is another big victory today." ”

Hearing that they had another big victory, Xun Chen and Xin Ping suddenly felt a lot more at ease. In a hurry to report to Yuan Shao, they refused to be retained by Jun Sima, and went straight through the city, leaving the city through another city gate, and rushed to report to Yuan Shaojie Bridge.

When they arrived at the camp of the Yuan army near the boundary bridge, the Yuan army had just collected its troops and returned to the camp. Xun Chen, who entered the camp, on the way to Yuan Shao's big tent, saw the faces of the soldiers in the camp, all of them were sad, and he couldn't see any joy at all, and he said to Xin Ping with some surprise: "Zhongzhi, the military Sima just now said that our army may win a big victory, why does the expression of our soldiers look more like a defeat?" ”

"If you are cautious," Xin Ping hurriedly said to stop: "If this word reaches the ears of the lord, I am afraid it will not be good for you." With that, he called a passing chief and asked him about the battle. After learning about the specific situation, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he said anxiously to Xun Chen, "General Lu Yi was beheaded by Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and the lord and Gongsun Chan fought undefeated. ”

Before the two of them could get close to Yuan Shao's big tent, they were stopped by a personal soldier under Yuan Shao: "The two gentlemen are not in Jizhou, what are you doing at the boundary bridge?" ”

Xun Chen hurriedly arched his hand towards the other party, and said politely: "We have 100,000 urgent military information, we want to report to the lord, and ask the team leader to pass it on on our behalf." ”

The team led into the big tent and reported to Yuan Shaoyu, who was discussing the military situation with Feng Ji, Fu Zhu, and the judge: "Lord Qi, there are two strategists Xun Chen and Xin Ping outside the tent who want to see them, and they say that there are 100,000 urgent military information, and they want to report to the lord. ”

After Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "Xun Chen and Xin Ping will go to the boundary bridge at this time, what emergency military situation will there be?" ”

"It's not good," he slapped his leg on the face when he heard the report of the team's rate, and shouted, "The two strategists are here at this moment, could it be that Jizhou has been lost?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Feng Ji on the side heard what he said, so he said in a strange way: "Although Jizhou is only guarded by 800 county soldiers, it is not so easy for the Han family to seize the city. ”

The words of the two made Yuan Shao even more upset, and he hurriedly ordered the team leader: "Let Youruo and Zhongzhi come in." ”

With a lot of effort, Xun Chen and Xin Ping hurriedly walked in from outside the tent. As soon as they saw Yuan Shao, the two hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said: "Lord, Jizhou is lost!" ”

"What, Jizhou is lost?" Hearing this, Yuan Shaoteng stood up suddenly, stared at the two viciously and asked, "How did you lose it?" ”

"The cavalry of the Han family Xiao'er pretended to be Zhang He's department who came to reinforce him, but General Chun Yuqiong didn't notice it for a while, and they won the city gate open." Xin Ping didn't know that Zhang He had returned to Han Zhan, he always thought that the cavalry that rushed into the city was Han Zhan's dispatch to pretend to be Zhang He's subordinates, but he never expected that those cavalry were really Zhang He's subordinates. "You Ruo and I took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city, and came here to report to the Lord."

"Where's my Xi'er?" When Yuan Shao heard that Jizhou was lost, the first thing he thought of was his second son Yuan Xi, "He has escaped from the city." ”

When Feng Ji and the trial duo next to them heard that Jizhou was lost, they secretly called it lucky: "Fortunately, the lord's family is still in Bohai, otherwise Shang Gongzi will fall into the hands of the Han family." If the second son can be killed by the Han family, the chance of Shang Gongzi taking over the lord in the future will be greater. ”

When Xin Ping heard Yuan Shao's question, he lowered his head to his chest, and said with some emptiness: "It must be trapped in the city." ”

Hearing that his second son failed to escape from Jizhou City, Yuan Shao was suddenly furious, he grabbed the arrow box on the table, and slammed it to the ground, only to hear a bang, the box smashed to the ground, and the arrow inside was scattered all over the ground. He shouted loudly, "Where is Yan Liang? ”

Yan Liang hurriedly stood up and bowed: "The end will be!" ”

"Immediately pick up the people and return to Jizhou." Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "I want to fight with the Han family." ”

"My lord!" As soon as Yuan Shao's words were finished, Feng Ji stood up and objected: "Our army and Gongsun Zhan's army are evenly matched today, but the number of troops is smaller than that of the other party. ”

"So what do we do?" Yuan Shao asked angrily, "Do you just let the Han family children occupy Jizhou?" ”

It is definitely not possible to return to Jizhou, with the existing amount of troops, it is simply a fool's dream to recapture Jizhou; But staying at Jieqiao to continue to confront Gongsun Zhan, it seems that something is wrong, losing Jizhou, the logistics supply will be cut off, and when the food is exhausted, the troops will definitely be chased and killed by Gongsun Zhan.

Just when everyone in the tent was in a dilemma, the pro-soldier team walked in from the outside and knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shao: "Lord Qi, the second son is waiting outside the tent." ”

"Nope." Yuan Shao, who was angry, didn't hear clearly who the pro-soldier team said about the people outside the tent, so he said casually. After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that his decision was a little reckless, and hurriedly asked, "Who did you just say is waiting outside the tent?" ”

"Back to the lord's words," the pro-soldier team who was about to get up led the team, and after hearing Yuan Shao's question, he knelt down again and replied, "It's the second son who is waiting outside the tent." ”

When Yuan Shao was about to order the team to let Yuan Xi in, the anxious Yuan Xi had already walked in from outside the tent. He walked quickly in front of Yuan Shao and knelt down with a puff: "Son see father!" ”

"Xi'er," Yuan Shao was pleasantly surprised to see his son kneeling in front of him safe and sound, he quickly got up and helped Yuan Xi up, and asked unexpectedly: "Aren't you trapped in Jizhou City?" How did you get out of danger? ”

"Back to his father's words," Yuan Xi hurriedly replied: "The son was released by the son of the Han family, and he asked his son to bring a word to his father." ”

"This ungrateful brute," Yuan Shao hated his teeth as soon as he heard his son mention Han Zhan, "I appointed him as the county commander of Sheguo, but I didn't expect him to raise troops against me." I wonder what he asked you to bring to me? ”

Yuan Xi glanced at Feng Ji and the judge next to him, and said in his heart: "You two sycophants, seeing that my younger brother is still deeply loved by my father, I have repeatedly praised him in front of my father for being smart and clever, and he will definitely become a great thing in the future." If I don't get rid of the two of you as soon as possible, when my younger brother becomes the lord of Jizhou, will I still have a good life? ”

Thinking of this, he said to Yuan Shao: "The son of the Han family told me that he sent troops to Jizhou to avenge his father. As long as his father was willing to kill Feng Ji and let him avenge his father's murder, he immediately led his troops to withdraw from Jizhou City and returned to Sheguo County to do his country-related order. ”

"Kill Fengji?" After listening to what Yuan Xi brought, Yuan Shao turned his gaze to Feng Ji who was standing aside, and asked coldly: "Did the Han family really say that as long as I killed Feng Ji, he would retire?" ”

"Yes, that's true." Yuan Xi replied affirmatively: "Han Gongzi swears to the sky that as long as his father sends Fengji's head to Jizhou, he will immediately lead his troops to withdraw from Jizhou and will never break his word." ”

"My lord spares his life!" Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao's gaze at him was a little unkind, so he hurriedly knelt down, lying on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly: "The Han family's child is cunning and abnormal, how can his words be credulous, please be aware of it!" After saying that, he kowtowed desperately.

Feng Ji was Yuan Shao's confidant and strategist, Yuan Shao was reluctant to kill him, but when he saw him kneeling on the ground and begging bitterly, he was even more unbearable, looked at everyone and asked, "How should you deal with this matter?" ”
