Ling Cao arranged for two of Feng Ji's retinues to cross the river.

After the entourage crossed the river, Feng Ji was still restless.

Twenty buckets of gold beads, if he returns to Yecheng, he may be able to get them together, but now he is in Yanjin, and whether he can bring the gold beads back after crossing the river with his entourage is still uncertain.

When the two of Feng Ji's retinues crossed the river, Yuan Shao had already led a large army to camp on the north bank of Yanjin.

Hearing that Feng Ji's entourage had returned, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the two to be brought to him.

Staring at the two trembling retinues, Yuan Shao asked, "How is Yuan Tu over there?" ”

One of the entourages trembled all over, and said to Yuan Shao without raising his head: "Feng Gong has no worries about his life over there, but if he waits for a few more days, he may not be able to say ......."

"How?" From the words of the entourage, hearing the meaning that Feng Ji would be in danger, Yuan Shao leaned over and asked with concern.

"Since Fenggong crossed the river, Zhou Yu hasn't seen him." The entourage replied: "Later, Huang Gai offended Zhou Yu and specially sent someone to invite Feng Gong, saying that Zhou Yu did not plan to negotiate peace, but just wanted to sacrifice the flag with Feng Gong's head. ”

"Good Zhou Yu, if he dares to touch a single hair of Yuantu, I will definitely want him to be martyred by the whole army!" Yuan Shao slapped the table in front of him.

The two attendants were so agitated that they almost collapsed to the ground.

"My lord." The frustrated professor next to him said to Yuan Shao: "It's useless to just make a big fuss here, do you want to send someone over and invite Feng Gong back?" ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao replied: "You go and arrange ......"

Yuan Shaocai instructed Fu Zhi to pick up Feng Ji back, and one of his attendants said: "If you go to someone at this time, I'm afraid that even the people who went over there won't be able to come back." ”

"What's going on?" Yuan Shao's brows were tightly locked, and he asked his entourage: "If you have anything to say, you can make it clear at one time, don't make people upset." ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was a little angry, the entourage hurriedly told Ling Cao about asking for twenty buckets of gold beads.

"Ling Cao dares to ask for twenty buckets of gold beads." Yuan Shao's face turned pale, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "I will order the whole army to cross the river, and wait until it is over there, and see how much more he wants." ”

"The Lord is not allowed!" The two entourages hurriedly knelt down, and the one who had been talking back said: "If the army moves, Fenggong's head will not be guaranteed!" ”

"Tell me, what shall I do?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Ling Cao just wants twenty buckets of gold beads, give it to him first." The entourage replied: "When Feng Gong returns, the Lord will order the army to cross the river, and when the battle is over, all the gold beads will not belong to the Lord Gong?" ”

What the entourage said was quite reasonable, and Yuan Shao frowned slightly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

The frustration next to the "Lord ......" wanted to speak.

Yuan Shao stopped him: "Tell me to go down, prepare twenty buckets of gold beads, and let them take them across the river to bring Yuan Tu back to me." ”

"Twenty buckets of gold beads were sent over, if Feng Yuantu hadn't come back yet, wouldn't he have given others benefits for nothing?" Fu Zhu finally didn't hold back, and said to Yuan Shao: "I think that even if the army crosses the river, Zhou Yu will not easily kill Feng Yuantu. It is far more useful to keep him than to kill him. ”

"If he does that, who will be held responsible?" Yuan Shao glared at him.

He didn't know what to say when he asked, so Yuan Shao continued: "Feng Yuantu went to the south bank in order to persuade Zhou Yu. He's in danger at this point, and of course I hope I can save him. If one of you were in the same predicament, would you persuade me to ignore it? ”

Even such words were said, obviously Yuan Shao was no longer willing to listen to anyone's advice.

He made up his mind to save Feng Ji from the other side.

Feng Ji is the person next to him, and he used to be very handy.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's relationship with him is also extraordinary, and he is often willing to discuss with him about major and minor affairs.

Now that Feng Ji is in deep danger, Yuan Shao will certainly not ignore it.

He gave an order to have someone bring twenty gold beads to two of his attendants, and someone immediately handled it.

Twenty buckets of gold beads is not a small amount.

On the bank of the river, the people brought by Ling Cao were still waiting on the boat.

Two entourages led a team of Yuan Jun and carried twenty buckets of gold beads to the shore.

The soldiers of the Yuan army were about to send the gold beads onto the boat, and the Xuzhou soldiers who were waiting to put them on shouted: "You all stop, let them both carry the gold beads up." ”

The one who came with this team of Yuan Jun was Han Meng, a general under Yuan Shao.

"With so many gold beads, when will they get them to carry them?" Han Meng glared at the Xuzhou army on the boat: "We will follow the river and help carry the golden beads over." ”

"General Ling said that no one is allowed to upload it except for them." The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army ignored Han Meng's fierce eyes at all, and said to him: "If someone tries to follow the boat, we have to row the boat back, and it's okay if you don't want Jin Zhu." ”

The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army obviously got Ling Cao's orders, so they said so hardly.

Han Meng also had no choice but to let the soldiers put down the gold beads.

Two attendants carried the gold beads and sent them to the ship one by one.

When the gold beads were sent to the boat, the two of them would jump on it as well.

How do you know that the soldier of the Xuzhou Army said to them: "You two don't have to cross the river, two more people, and my general will have more trouble when he wants to send people back." ”

Blocked by the Xuzhou army, the two entourages had no choice but to watch the boat leave the river bank and sail to the opposite side.

The ship was about to come to shore, and a group of Xuzhou troops appeared on the opposite bank.

They took the gold beads from the ship and carried them to the barracks on the shore.

On the north side of the riverbank, Han Meng watched the Xuzhou army carry away the golden beads, and glared at the two entourages fiercely: "If Feng Yuantu can't come back, you two won't be happy." ”

The two attendants trembled and dared to speak, but they just kept talking.

On the other side of the riverbank, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army carried the gold beads to Ling Cao's tent.

In addition to Ling Cao in the tent, Zhou Yu was also there.

They sent the golden beads in, and Ling Cao said to Zhou Yu: "General Zhou, twenty buckets of golden beads, please take a look." ”

"Nothing better than purposeful." Zhou Yu replied: "You go back and take a hundred and ten people, send the gold beads to Pengcheng, and hand them over to the treasury." ”

"Sent to Pengcheng?" Ling Cao was stunned: "Doesn't General Zhou plan to stay?" ”

"What am I doing with this?" Zhou Yu said: "Leave the golden bead, if Chu Hou knows, maybe he will think that we have two hearts." It is better to hand it over to the treasury, and when the time comes, Chu Hou will decide how to use it. ”

"It's okay to send it to Pengcheng, why does General Zhou want me to go?" Ling Cao said reluctantly: "I'm by the general's side, no matter what, I can always do something." Back in Pengcheng, when I come back, the general and Yuan Shao may have finished fighting. ”

"Not so fast." Zhou Yu said: "When you come back, the two sides may not be at war yet. I think Yuan Shao's posture should be looking for the best time to cross the river. The time has not come, and he will definitely not give the order to attack easily. ”

"When does General Zhou want me to leave?" Ling Cao asked.

"Put Feng Ji back first, and then you will take someone to escort Jin Zhu back to Pengcheng." Zhou Yu said: "Don't forget that when you are about to arrive in Pengcheng, send someone to go to Chu Hou." Tell Chu Hou everything here, especially Jin Zhu, you must make it clear to Chu Hou and ask him to decide. Without waiting for Chu Hou's reply, you don't have to rush back, just wait there. ”

"It's all sent back, can Chu Hou still send it back?" Ling Cao said: "I'll send it to Pengcheng, and then rush back immediately." ”

"If you want to wait there, you just wait, what are you going to do with so much?" Zhou Yu said: "I don't know what Chu Hou is going to do, but I need you to wait there for a reply." ”

"I see." Although he didn't know why Zhou Yu arranged it this way, Ling Cao could only agree, retreat, and leave his own tent.

The gold bead has been delivered, but Feng Ji doesn't know it yet.

didn't get a reply from Ling Cao, he was still waiting for a reminder.

When he was fidgeting, the voice of his entourage came from outside the tent: "Fenggong, General Ling asks to see." ”

"Don't hurry up yet, please!" Hearing that Ling Cao was coming, Feng Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered his entourage to invite him in.

The entourage led Ling Cao into the tent, and Feng Ji greeted him and asked, "General Ling, what's going on with that?" ”

"Is Feng Gong really in such a hurry to cross the river?" Ling Cao said: "You know, once you cross the river, it is not so easy to come back. ”

"I'm just here to die, why don't I want to cross the river?" Feng Ji said: "General Ling, don't be making fun of me, can you send me over, please make it clear." ”

"The gold bead has arrived, and of course I have to fulfill my promise." Ling Cao said: "Feng Gong should prepare quickly, we should also go." ”

Ling Cao said that he would send him across the river, and Feng Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Ling Cao, "Thank you General Ling for your rescue. ”

"If you want to talk about rescue, it's also for Jinzhu." Ling Cao replied with a smile: "Feng Gong doesn't have to feel that he owes me anything, if he really feels indebted, he also owes those gold beads." ”

"General Ling is really good at laughing." Feng Ji replied very embarrassedly, and then asked, "Dare to ask the general, when will we leave?" ”

"Right now." Ling Cao said: "The ship is already waiting on the other side, please come with me." ”

Although he was not sure what he would encounter after boarding the boat, Feng Ji still followed Ling Cao to the bank of the Yellow River.

When he came to the shore, he saw a small boat waiting there.

Ling Cao said to him: "If Feng Gong takes his entourage on the boat, I won't send it." ”

"Thank you, General Ling!" Feng Ji bowed to Ling Cao: "I will never forget the general's affection." ”

"It's better for Feng Gong to forget, for the sake of Jin Zhu, I don't even want my life." The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said to Feng Ji: "When Feng Gong returns to the north bank, please tell Yuan Benchu that General Zhou will definitely not surrender, if you want to fight, please hurry up, don't be slow, the people who are waiting are not upset." ”

Ling Cao's words were provocative, and Feng Ji didn't want him, so he hummed twice casually in response, and then boarded the boat with a few entourages and went to the other side.

Standing on the shore, looking at the boat heading to the other side, Ling Cao smiled and shook his head.

In the past, he had also heard that Feng Ji was a capable person, but after he really saw him, he found that this person's ability may not be very great, but it is absolutely important to Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shao would not be willing to take out so many gold beads and rescue him.

Seeing Feng Ji ascend to the north shore and seeing him running towards the military camp on the other side of the river under the greeting of a team of Yuan troops, Ling Cao turned around and returned to his tent.

Zhou Yu was still waiting in the tent, and when he saw Ling Cao coming back, he asked, "What's the matter?" Sent Feng Ji over? ”

"General Hui Zhou has already sent him back." Ling Cao said: "Feng Ji really thought that I was willing to send him back because I got the golden bead, and at this time I should be complacent and picked up a life." ”

"I still don't quite understand what Chu Hou means." Zhou Yu said: "Feng Ji is an extremely important person around Yuan Shao, if he is left here, Yuan Shao will definitely be a rat trap." But Chu Hou not only didn't plan to leave him, but also didn't plan to kill him, but asked me to send people back. I still can't figure out what Chu Hou means. ”

"Even General Zhou can't figure out what Chu Hou means, and I can't figure it out." Ling Cao replied: "I just think that General Zhou shouldn't send the golden beads back to Pengcheng, if he stays, maybe he can get a lot of benefits in the future." ”

"Benefits?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "People live for a lifetime, but they don't just have a few buckets of gold beads. If you only count the gold beads, you and I will earn more than 20 buckets in this life. I expected that the golden beads would be sent to Pengcheng, and the Marquis of Chu would return some for us, so I would let you wait there. ”

Zhou Yu said that Lu Bu would return some of the golden beads, and Ling Cao was stunned: "What has already been sent, Chu Hou will give us some back?" ”

"At least some back." Zhou Yu said: "General Ling, don't think about this matter anymore, when you arrive in Pengcheng, you wait there for a few days." Chu Hou gave feedback, and you will know what it will be. ”

Looking at Zhou Yu suspiciously, Ling Cao still couldn't believe that so many gold beads had been sent to people, and others were willing to take out some and return them to them.

Although he didn't believe that such a thing would happen, Ling Cao still bowed down and saluted Zhou Yu: "I'll just do it according to General Zhou's instructions." ”

"Be careful on the road." Zhou Yu stood up and explained to Ling Cao: "From here to Pengcheng, you have to pass through Cao Cao's territory, you will inevitably meet Cao Jun on the way, you take someone to disguise yourself, you must bypass Cao Jun, don't lose the gold beads." ”

"General Zhou rest assured." Ling Cao replied: "Even if I fight for my life, I will definitely send Jin Zhu back to Pengcheng safely." ”

"With your words, I am relieved." Zhou Yu nodded twice and left Ling Cao's tent.

When Zhou Yu left, Ling Cao shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" ”

A soldier walked in from outside the tent.

Ling Cao instructed him, "Select a hundred strong soldiers, and I will take them to escort some things back to Pengcheng." ”

The soldiers received the order and exited the tent to select the soldiers who would return to Pengcheng with Ling Cao.
