Although Yuan Shao has an arrogant temperament, according to the old man's understanding, he is a person with clear grievances. The old man believed that after learning that the Holy Lord had helped him, Yuan Shao's attitude towards the Holy Lord would definitely change, and he would never mention the abolition of the emperor again in the future. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Lord Fu wanted to do this...... Flattering Yuan Shao? ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiecai finally understood Fu Wan's good intentions, and a faint wry smile crossed his face.

"Alas! The old man knew that this method was a bit aggrieved. Seeing this, Fu Wan also said helplessly: "But in order to keep the throne...... There's nothing else we can do. ”

"Then why didn't you order Yuan Shao to send troops? Maybe with our help, Gongsun Chan will be able to win? Liu Xie was still a little unwilling.

"That's ...... It's not that the old man hasn't thought about it. But in the old man's opinion, even if Yuan Shao had a few thousand troops, Gongsun Zhan was not sure to defeat the other party. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the old man thinks that it is safest to help Yuan Shao, who has a greater winning rate. Fu Wan frowned and replied truthfully.

After listening to Fu Fu's words, Liu Xie also felt that it was not unreasonable, so he had to sigh secretly, nodded and gave up the struggle.

But just as I wanted to agree to this, another thing popped up in my mind:

"By the way, Lord Fu, if Gongsun Chan refuses to send troops, or finds a reason to shirk the past, won't we be busy in vain?"

"If it's just an ordinary holy order, Gongsun Chan will probably find an excuse to shirk it. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the old man has prepared a holy decree for the Holy One. ”

Speaking of this, he saw Fu Wan take out a piece of straw paper full of handwriting from his arms and handed it to Liu Xie.

There are a lot of words on the paper, and there are three main points:

First, the iron vein was occupied by thieves, and Sun Zhan recaptured it for the Han family;

Second, if the iron ore can be successfully recaptured, the court will have many rewards;

Third, if Gongsun Chan refused to send troops to fight the thieves within a month, it would be regarded as a betrayal of the Han family.

The imperial court would not only remove Gongsun Chan from his official position, but would also issue a letter and invite other princes to go on a crusade to prevent the other party from surviving.

I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy.

The first two articles of this article are easy to say, but the third one is too ruthless.

In other words, if Gongsun Chan refuses to send troops against the thieves, he is likely to have several more enemies overnight.

Originally, it was hard enough to deal with one Yuan Benchu, but if a few more enemies came out, Gongsun Chan would definitely not be able to deal with it.

So even if he was reluctant, after receiving this "threat order", Gongsun Chan had to send troops to fight the thief, and he would never dare to turn a blind eye.

After reading this holy decree, Liu Xie's worries just now were swept away.

After thinking about it for a while, on the one hand, in order to regain the iron ore, and on the other hand, in order to keep his throne, Liu Xie finally nodded and agreed to Fu Wan's suggestion.

……

A month later, the village of Yuanyuan.

Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been getting colder and colder, and Huaxing and others have put on thick clothes.

In order to ensure that the hens can survive the cold winter smoothly, Huaxing went to the chicken farm this morning to take a turn.

Seeing that his baby hens were eating and laying eggs in the chicken coop in good health, and were not greatly affected, Huaxing walked out of the chicken farm with confidence and went all the way to the barracks.

As soon as he walked to the door of the command room, he saw Zhang Liao and Tang Sheng standing outside the door with anxious expressions.

Seeing Huaxing's figure, Zhang Liao greeted him as soon as possible, and said with a frown:

"Master, something is wrong! An enemy army is attacking the village! ”

Hearing the word "enemy army", Huaxing was surprised, but he did not panic. After the three of them entered the command room, Hua Xing asked:

"What enemy troops? In what location? ”

Before coming to the sand table, Zhang Liao picked up a small flag, planted it about 20 centimeters north of Luyuan Village, and said in his mouth:

"According to the scouts, a force is rushing from north to south towards the village. At this time, it was already near Yiyang, thirty miles away. As early as tonight, and as late as tomorrow, they will arrive at the village. ”

"From the north?"

Hearing this, Hua Xing raised his eyebrows while touching his chin and asked:

"Whose troops are they? Are you sure you're from Chong Yuan Village? ”

"Whose troops it was, the scouts didn't know, but they saw the word 'Gongsun' written on the flag. Looking at the momentum, nine times out of ten, it is coming at us. Tang Sheng, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and replied.

"Gongsun?"

Hearing these two words, Huaxing's first thought was Gongsun Zhan.

But as soon as he came, he and Gongsun Zhan had no grievances or hatred, and the other party had no reason to run so far to attack him;

Second, he only heard a while ago that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao were fighting in Jizhou. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the other side to send troops to trouble themselves at this time.

Therefore, Huaxing was still full of doubts about the identity of the enemy army after listening to the report.

"How many troops?"

"About three thousand. Most of them were infantry, and the cavalry had only a little over a hundred horsemen. ”

"Do you have siege weapons?"

"Not really." Zhang Liao shook his head and replied: "Except for the baggage cart that transports grain, there is no other equipment. ”

Hearing that there were no siege weapons, Hua Xing breathed a sigh of relief:

"Well, is that a lot of grain carts?"

"There were a lot of cars, but many of them were empty, and they looked like they had come from far away." Tang Sheng speculated on the side.

"How long will the rest of the food be enough for them?"

"If you count the rations for the return trip...... At most, I can carry it for a month. ”

"Well, it seems that the other party wants to fight with us quickly......"

After listening to Tang Sheng's calculations, Hua Xing nodded thoughtfully. After pondering for a moment, Fang asked again:

"Can the general who leads the troops see who it is?"

"Due to the distance, the scout only took a rough look, and the characteristics were all written down on paper......"

Seeing Hua Xing ask about the general, Tang Sheng immediately took out a note from his arms and said according to the above record:

"In terms of position and clothing, there are three generals on the enemy side. The first is the main general, who is nine feet tall, wearing a green robe and holding a glaive sword; the second is a lieutenant general, more than eight feet long, dressed in black and brown armor, and carrying eight snake spears; The third was a small guard, young and handsome, dressed in silver armor, and he followed the two generals all the way......"

When he first finished listening to the first two sentences, Huaxing's expression was quite normal.

But after hearing the words "Glaive Sword" and "Zhangba Snake Spear", Hua Xing was shocked on the spot, and his hair stood up unconsciously.

If you guess correctly, these two generals are likely to be Liu Bei's sworn brothers - Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At the beginning, because Huaxing inadvertently stoned Liu Bei to death when he arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan and Zhang hated Huaxing to the core.

In the coalition camp, if Dong Zhuo hadn't sent someone to rescue Huaxing, Huaxing would probably have died in the hands of Zhang Fei.

Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people Huaxing didn't want to meet the most were Guan and Zhang.
