Chapter 224: Appeasement
LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang rushed back with the soldiers, and on the way, they kept collecting the fleeing soldiers.
Back to the county seat of Nanpi County, the two went straight to the county guard's mansion, came to the gate, Lu Kuang directly asked the soldiers guarding the door to pass through, the soldiers did not stop them, the two came directly to the hall, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and pleaded guilty to Yuan Shao, the two of them lost the battle, let go of Wang Lei, and caused heavy losses to the army, such a crime, if Yuan Shao really intends to investigate, it is enough to cut off their heads.
Yuan Shao stared at the two of them, and said in a stiff and cold tone: "You are guilty!" β
After learning that Wang Lei jumped out of the encirclement, Yuan Shao couldn't help but get angry in his heart
All the anger was transferred to Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, so Yuan Shao directly asked for the guilt as soon as he opened his mouth.
As soon as he heard this, Lu Kuang secretly said something bad in his heart.
Lu Kuang kowtowed again and again, and said: "The last general was negligent, resulting in a great defeat of the army, please punish the lord, Wang Lei defeated the last general, captured our brother, and gave us a letter, let the last general bring it to the lord, Wang Lei also said, he has something to say to you, and even let you think about it carefully!" β
As he spoke, Lu Kuang took out the envelope and held it with both hands.
The soldier took it and handed it to Yuan Shao.
For a while, Yuan Shao was also curious about what Wang Lei said in the letter, he took the letter with anticipation, opened it and looked at it, and in an instant, Yuan Shao's eyes were round, revealing an incredible look.
'I'm leaving,'
Three large characters with iron painted silver hooks come into view.
"Smack!"
Yuan Shao slapped the desk and shouted: "Wang Lei bullied me too much!" β
Lu Kuang shrunk his neck, knowing that this would be bad.
It's certainly not a good thing.
Obviously, he was used as a gun by Wang Lei and fell for Wang Lei's scheme.
Yuan Shao stared at Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, the killing intent in his heart was even stronger, and he couldn't help but want to order to kill these two people, but at this time, Yuan Shao's mind suddenly thought of one thing, killing Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, wouldn't it be Wang Lei's idea, Wang Lei asked the two to send such a letter, the purpose of which was also to borrow a knife to kill people and let him kill people.
At this moment, Yuan Shao secretly said in his heart, Wang Lei, little ruffian, you are too insidious, I will not be tricked, although Yuan Shao is easy to get angry, but Yuan Shao's brain is not stupid, he thought about it a little after understanding, and he already made a decision in his heart.
Even, he had a realization in his heart.
Wang Lei wants to weaken his strength, but he doesn't, he wants to unite the forces under his command.
"Lu Kuang, take a look, this is Wang Lei's letter!"
Yuan Shao threw his hand, the letter in his hand fell from the desk and fell to the ground, Lu Kuang hurriedly crawled over, picked up the letter on the ground, looked at it, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
"I'm leaving!"
Three words made Lu Kuang cry out loudly in his heart.
When Lu Xiang saw these three words, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Wang Lei is too ruthless.
This is obviously to stimulate Yuan Shao, once Yuan Shao gets angry, his head will be lost.
The two of them couldn't stop cursing Wang Lei in their hearts, scolding Wang Lei for the bad water in his stomach, Lu Kuang kowtowed again and again, and kept saying: "Lord, the last general doesn't know that Wang Lei will deliberately leave such a letter, please surrender the lord." He took the initiative to plead guilty, and Lu Xiang also knelt down to plead guilty, both of them were uneasy in their hearts, afraid that Yuan Shao would kill them in anger.
The words on the letter, Xu You walked over and picked them up.
After seeing Wang Lei's notes, Xu You's eyes lit up, and he wanted to see Wang Lei's writing in person.
However, Xu You knew that the current situation was more important.
Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's abilities are not particularly outstanding, but they can be on their own, it is a pity to kill, Xu You was just about to speak, but he saw Yuan Shao's wide sleeve robe wave, preventing Xu You from speaking.
Yuan Shao's gaze swept over the officials in the hall one by one, his gaze sharp.
It was like a king above the nine heavens looking down on his subjects.
Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.
Yuan Shao's tone was low, and he said slowly: "Wang Lei asked you to send the letter, and he had two thoughts, one of which was to humiliate me and make me angry; The second is that I want to kill people with a knife, let me be angry and kill you, Wang Lei's little trick can't hide it from me, the two of you have made a big mistake, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable. β
Lu Kuang's heart hanging in mid-air fell to the ground, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The lord is benevolent, and the humble heart is obedient!" β
Lu Xiang also said: "The lord is benevolent, and he is obedient!" β
The two shouted thanks, they were really happy in their hearts, they didn't expect it to be just a simple Ten Army Stick and March Yulu, for the two of them, it was almost an itch in their boots, Xu You couldn't help but nod when he saw this, Yuan Shao's hand was beautiful.
Yuan Shao waved his hand and shouted, "Stand down!" β
LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang retreated, and after a while, the soldiers came in again to report: "My lord, General Gao and General Wen are back!" β
"Please!"
Yuan Shao's expression was cold and his tone was cold.
After a while, I saw Gao Ran and Wen Chou striding in, both of them wearing their upper bodies, revealing their strong muscles, and behind the backs of the two of them, they were also carrying thorns, obviously guilty of thorns.
The two men came to the hall and knelt down, and prostrated themselves to their sins.
Yuan Shao didn't say a word, his eyes stared at the two kneeling on the ground.
At this time, no one in the hall spoke.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very weird, and after a long sound, there was a long sigh, and I saw Yuan Shao stand up, strode in front of Gao Ran and Wen Chou, stretched out his hand to drag the two, and said earnestly: "The two generals are suffering, get up!" β
This scene made countless people feel stunned.
Most people thought that Yuan Shao would be angry, but they didn't expect this to be the result.
In fact, Yuan Shao really wanted to be angry, and even wanted to kill.
However, since Yuan Shao let go of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, it is impossible to hold Gao Ran and Wen Chou responsible, it is better to sell them, so that Gao Ran and Wen Chou are grateful to him, Yuan Shao also understands that Gao Ran and Wen Chou are a number of generals under his command and cannot be damaged, so Yuan Shao spared the two and took measures to appease.
Gao Ran knelt on the ground, refused to get up, and choked up: "Lord, the end will be guilty!" β
Wen Chou also said: "Lord, the last will be guilty!" β
The two talked again and again, but Yuan Shao insisted on holding up the two, at this time, Gao Ran and Wen Chou stood up, but their faces were already full of tears, obviously they didn't expect Yuan Shao to comfort them.
Yuan Shao felt that he was very touched by the two, and continued: "Although the two of you are defeated, you are still alive, as long as you live, you will definitely have a chance to defeat Wang Lei, now go back and have a good rest, clean up the army, train soldiers, and fight again in the future!" β
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao raised his voice suddenly, "Can you fight again!" β
"Yes!"
The two replied in unison, their eyes were firm, and they had infinite motivation.
The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth hooked up a smile, waved his hand to signal the two to leave, and then, Yuan Shao didn't have the mind to set up another banquet, and said a few words to the officials under his command, and let the officials disperse.
Yuan Shao returned to the backyard alone and licked the wound alone.
