Lu Bu led the people to withdraw, and Shouchun became a pot of porridge.

Yang Hong and the others were busy covering up the news of Yuan Shu's killing, while Yan Xiang came to the prison with several guards.

Of course, the prison guards did not dare to stop him.

After entering the prison, Yan Xiang went directly to Ji Ling's cell.

"Open!" He commanded the guards.

"Yan Gong, this ......" The guard was very embarrassed: "There is no will of His Majesty......"

"Your Majesty's will, you can't wait." Yan Xiang shouted, "Don't open it yet!" ”

The guard kept his head down and didn't move.

"You dare to disobey orders?" Yan Xiang glared at him.

"Don't dare to ......," the guard replied, "but there is no will of His Majesty......"

"Whoever disobeys orders, kill!" Yan Xiang coldly ordered the guards behind him.

Two guards stepped forward with their swords drawn.

"I'll drive! I'm open! After all, the guard was afraid of death, so the guard drew his sword, and he quickly took out the key.

Opening the cell, Yan Xiang walked in.

From the moment he came, Ji Ling looked at it in confusion.

"General Ji, let's go." Pulling Ji Ling up, Yan Xiang dragged him out.

"Gong Yan, what are you ......" Ji Ling didn't move, but looked at him in astonishment.

"Lu Bu broke into Shouchun and killed His Majesty." Yan Xiang whispered: "We all saw that he had indeed become a young general, and even Yang Hong saw it. ”

"Your Majesty......" Ji Ling was stunned.

He couldn't believe that Lu Bu actually dared to break into Shouchun and kill Yuan Shu.

"What is the general still doing in a daze?" Ji Ling was stunned, and Yan Xiang urged: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to go!" ”

"How did Your Majesty die?" After following Yuan Shu for many years, hearing that he had been killed, Ji Ling felt a burst of sorrow in his heart.

"Lu Bu single-handedly rushed past the guards and killed His Majesty." Yan Xiang tugged at his arm: "General Ji, let's go quickly." ”

"I'm not leaving!" Ji Ling withdrew his hand: "I want to stay here and avenge Your Majesty!" ”

"Staying here is a dead end, how confused is the general!" Yan Xiang was anxious.

"Yang Hong has already seen Lu Bu, which is enough to prove that I am not lying." Ji Ling said: "What reason does he have to kill me?" ”

"General Ji still doesn't know that Yang Hong is a person?" Yan Xiang said: "In order to cover up his mistake, killing the general is the best strategy. If the general really wants to avenge His Majesty, please leave Shouchun as soon as possible. ”

"Where can you go without Shouchun?" Ji Ling asked, "Could it be that you will take refuge in Cao Cao?" ”

"Yuan Benchu was in Hebei, and I voted for him with the general." Yan Xiang took out a burden from his arms, looked left and right, and cautiously opened it in front of Ji Ling: "You can just use this as a gift for advancement." ”

The burden was opened, and Ji Ling's eyes widened: "Passing on the country......"

Yan Xiang hurriedly glanced at him.

The word "jade seal" was swallowed back by Ji Ling.

"How did Yan Gong get it?" Ji Ling asked in astonishment.

"The palace is in chaos, I will take advantage of the chaos to find it." Yan Xiang said, "General Ji, go quickly!" If you don't go, you really can't go! ”

Ji Ling no longer hesitated and followed Yan Xiang out of the prison.

The guards did not dare to stop them, so they could only watch them leave.

Yan Xiang and Ji Ling walked away, and only then did the guards go to report to Yang Hongyu.

Yuan Shu was killed, if the news spreads, not only Huainan will be turbulent, but even the surrounding heroes will definitely find an opportunity to come to crusade.

Yang Hong was busy covering up the truth.

The soldiers were ordered to surround the palace and not allow anyone to approach.

He came to Yuan's postoperative palace.

The palace was in chaos, and Yuan Shu's concubines and women were all in danger.

Yang Hong and Zhang Xun arrived.

Yuan Shu ascended the throne that year and made his eldest son Yuan Yao the crown prince.

Protected by his father all the year round, Yuan Yao is not as heroic as Yuan Shu, and it can even be said that he is a little cowardly and useless.

There was a chaotic noise outside the palace, and Yuan Yao and his wife and concubine hugged each other, trembling all over.

The door was pushed open, and Yang Hong and Zhang Xun walked in.

Seeing Yuan Yao huddled in a group of women, both of them frowned.

"Prince!" Bowing down, Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty was assassinated, and I asked the prince to go out to preside over the situation." ”

"Father's funeral?" Hiding among his wives and concubines, Yuan Yao asked tremblingly.

"Your Majesty is dead." Yang Hong replied: "For the sake of the stability of Huainan, I also asked the prince to go to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, and said that His Majesty was only seriously injured and was recuperating and did not risk his life." ”

"So I can't ascend the throne yet?" Yang Hong and Zhang Xun were not malicious, Yuan Yao was bold, and he walked out of his wife and concubine.

"Now that the crown prince is on the throne, can he stabilize the chaos?" Yang Hong was speechless when Yuan Yao asked.

"Please also ask the prince to go out with us to stabilize people's hearts." Yang Hong and Zhang Xun stood on either side.

didn't dare to argue with the two, Yuan Yao could only follow them out of the palace.

He hadn't gone far when a guard came running.

The guards beside Yang Hong greeted him.

The two exchanged words in each other's ears, and the guard conveyed the news to Yang Hong.

Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the guard in astonishment: "Is the news true?" ”

"Absolutely." The guard replied.

"Send orders, send men after them, and be sure to stop them." Yang Hong said: "If you resist, don't kill it!" ”

The guard received the order, and Yuan Yao asked Yang Hong, "What's the matter?" ”

"Yan Xiang and Ji Ling ran away." Yang Hong replied: "They also took away the jade seal of the country. ”

"Then don't hurry up and chase it!" Yuan Shu decided to ascend the throne when he got the jade seal of the country, and the jade seal was lost, and Yuan Yao was surprised.

"Someone has been sent." Yang Hong said: "Don't worry about this, the prince doesn't have to worry about this, it is important to stabilize the army's morale and public opinion." ”

Yang Hong tried his best to cover up the fact that Yuan Shu was killed, but on the way back to Lu Bu and the others, they spread the news that Yuan Shu was dead.

Entering Xuzhou, Lu Bu glanced back: "It won't be long before all the heroes will send troops to Huainan, and we have a good show to watch." ”

"Huainan is adjacent to Xuzhou, isn't Wen Hou worried that the war will spread too widely, and even we will have a hard time?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Xuzhou is so big, how much can we occupy?" Lu Bu said: "The most important thing is that we don't have time to develop the place at all, Cao Cao is eager to unify Jianghuai, and he will definitely not give us a chance to breathe." Grain is planted in the spring and harvested in the autumn, the smelting and mining cycle is longer, and we simply cannot count on those methods to make money. There is no money and no food, why should we compete with Cao Cao in the Central Plains? Since you can't hold it, then give up most of Xuzhou, as long as you stabilize the foundation, you can fight back sooner or later! ”

Zhang Liao suddenly said: "I understand the meaning of Wen Hou." ”

"In the near future, there will definitely be many victims in Huainan." Lü Bu instructed: "Leave some people to welcome the victims into the country and take them to the area of Xiapi and Pengcheng." Encourage agriculture and protect farms. Let them settle under our noses! ”

"A few of you stay here, grab some officials from the nearby county, and prepare to meet the victims." Zhang Liao assigned several soldiers.
