Chapter 5: Return to Yecheng
Escaping from Muye, Cao Ren returned to Cao Cao's camp by starry night.
Seeing him come back with his troops alone, Cao Cao wondered: "Why didn't Ziyuan come back with you?" ”
Thinking of everything that happened in Makino, Cao Ren couldn't hide his panic.
"Return to my lordship." He lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "We did intercept Yuan Shao, but it was just ......"
"Just what?" Cao Ren wanted to speak and stopped, but Cao Cao sensed that something was wrong.
"We met Yuan Xianxin." Speaking of Yuan Xu, Cao Ren looked even more panicked.
Yuan Shao's sons are already adults and lead troops with Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.
Before Guandu, Yuan Tan was named the history of Qingzhou Thorn, sat in Qingzhou to break Kong Rong, and later confronted Zang Ba and others who took refuge in Cao Cao for a long time, which is a great figure.
Yuan Xiguan worships the history of Youzhou's assassination, and he is also capable.
Mrs. Liu of the Yuan family in Hebei only gave birth to one son, Yuan Shang, as the son of the main family, not to mention his power.
As for Yuan Xu, he had no biological mother when he was born, and apart from Yuan Shao, he had no one to rely on in the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao treats him no different from other sons, but in the eyes of others, he is just an insignificant little person!
Xu Yu captured him in the black nest.
Cao Cao didn't ask what to do, only heard that Yuan Xu had been killed afterwards.
In order to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he recruited troops in Chenliu, and Cao Ren was the first to join him.
Cao Ren, who is brave and knows how to strategy and war, and has made great contributions on the battlefield, can't hide his panic when he mentions Yuan Xu, who is dead.
Weird! Uncanny! Contrary to common sense!
Cao Cao looked puzzled: "Didn't Yuan Xu be killed by Xu Ziyuan in the black nest?" ”
"Yuan Xianxin was indeed pierced through the heart by Xu Yu with a sword in the Black Nest, and there is absolutely no reason to survive." Cao Ren replied: "But I do see that he is still alive and well." ”
"What can you do if you're alive?" Cao Cao frowned: "Insignificant shaft, kill it again." Did Xu Ziyuan stay there to deal with Yuan Benchu's father and son? ”
"Not really." Cao Ren replied: "He was killed by Yuan Xianxin. ”
Cao Cao was shocked: "You brought a full 5,000 soldiers and horses, what ability did Yuan Xu have to kill Xu Ziyuan in front of you?" ”
"I don't know where he learned a demon method." Cao Ren replied: "You can drive the dead to fight......"
With round eyes, Cao Cao looked incredulous: "Zixiao, you know who I am, I have always been kind, and I can't allow others to lie to me." ”
Cao Cao was cunning and scheming, he actually said with a shy face that he was kind......
"In front of the lord, I don't dare to say half a word." was so troubled by what happened in Makino that he even forgot about it, and Cao Ren bowed down and replied.
After being silent for a while, Cao Cao ordered: "Invite Fengxiao, Gongda and others." ”
Cao Ren retreated, and Cao Cao's face was solemn.
In the first battle of Guandu, he won more with less, subverting the comparison of military strength with the Yuan family.
As long as you push forward with victory, even if you can't destroy the Yuan family, which has big roots and deep roots, you can at least get a piece of the pie in Hebei.
Yuan Xu, who can summon dead corpses to fight with demon techniques, will turn all advantages into nothingness......
Yuan Xu rescued Yuan Shao in Muye and escorted him to Yecheng.
It was only two or three hundred miles away from Yecheng, and a group of men and horses came ahead.
Leading the team was a young general.
This person is about 20 in his early twenties, and his appearance is seven or eight points similar to Yuan Shao, riding a snow-white horse in military uniform, galloping like the wind.
It was Yuan Shang who stayed in Yecheng in the Battle of Guandu to greet the troops.
In front of Yuan Shao, he turned over and dismounted and bowed: "The child is late, please ask your father to condemn the crime!" ”
"It's late." was almost killed by Xu Yu in Muye, Yuan Shao's face was a little unsightly: "I expect you to greet you, my head has already been picked." ”
Having already received the news that he had been ambushed in Muye, Yuan Shang did not dare to answer.
"Thanks to your fourth brother." Looking at Yuan Xu, Yuan Shao's face looked much better: "If it weren't for him, I would definitely not be able to come back to Yecheng." ”
only knew that Yuan Shao had encountered a crisis, and he didn't know how to resolve it, Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Xu with a stunned face.
The fourth brother has always been cowardly, and he has never led soldiers.
Since it was a volley, Cao Cao's faction must have a lot of men and horses.
What can he do alone?
Yuan Shao didn't explain to him either, and ordered: "Lead the way ahead." ”
The soldiers who greeted him got out of the way, and Yuan Shao and others passed by, following behind.
Yuan Shang leaned over to Yuan Xu and asked in a low voice, "How did you save your father?" ”
"It took some tricks." Of course, Yuan Xu would not tell him the truth.
Summoning the undead is sorcery in anyone's eyes.
The Yuan family is complicated, and the family affection between the brothers is weak, otherwise Yuan Shang would not have turned against Yuan Tan in order to inherit Hebei in the future.
Being too much known to him is not good for himself.
Knowing that Yuan Xu didn't want to tell him the truth, Yuan Shang glanced at Feng Ji.
Feng Ji didn't have any expression, but nodded without a trace.
Their actions were all seen by Yuan Xu, and he also knew that when he returned to Yecheng, Feng Ji would tell Yuan Shang everything.
Instead of letting Feng Ji sell this favor, it is better to say it yourself.
"Actually, I learned some spells." Approaching Yuan Shang, Yuan Xu's voice was very low: "I let the dead body stand up and fight Cao Jun before I saved my father." ”
Yuan Shang's face was full of disbelief, he had never heard of anyone who could drive the dead to fight.
"I'm your brother, don't lie to me." Yuan Shang reminded: "When you return to Yecheng, as long as you find someone to ask, you can't hide what happened that day." ”
"How can you fool my brother?" Yuan Xu looked at Feng Ji: "If you don't believe it, ask him." ”
was greeting Yuan Shao, and if he wanted to know what happened that day, Yuan Shang would not ask immediately.
Looking at Yuan Xu suspiciously, he subconsciously shook his head, the fourth brother who grew up watching him since he was a child actually had the opportunity to learn the ability to drive dead corpses.
How could God favor such a useless man as him?
The news of Guandu's defeat had already reached Yecheng.
Most of the wealthy gentry ran away, and most of the remaining people did not have the financial resources and ability to leave their homes.
Yecheng, which is noisy and wealthy, has not experienced a war before it has shown depression.
Mrs. Liu took the whole family and Yecheng officials to greet her at the city gate.
Seeing Yuan Shao, she led everyone to greet her.
"Greetings to your husband." Mrs. Liu bowed, and the people who followed behind her also saluted.
"It's all exempt." Yuan Shao raised his hand tiredly.
"The concubine held a banquet at home to catch the wind for her husband." Mrs. Liu said: "My husband has worked hard all the way......"
"I'm tired." Yuan Shao interrupted her: "Catch the wind." ”
Everything carefully prepared was rejected by him, and Mrs. Liu was very embarrassed.
The people who greeted them were also solemn and silent, and the atmosphere was so depressing that people were about to lose their breath.
"Father." Yuan Xu stepped forward: "I want to go to prison." ”
