Chapter 857: I Don't Know My Guilt
In the main hall of the official mansion, the staff and generals of the Yuan family have been waiting here for a long time.
When Liu Bei came, all eyes looked at him.
Yuan Shao sat on the top, pressing his hand to his forehead without saying a word.
"Father, Liu Xuande is here." Yuan Shang hugged his fists and said to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao still didn't say anything.
Liu Bei hugged his fists, his waist arched like a shrimp, and he didn't dare to say more.
"Liu Bei, are you guilty?" The judge asked Liu Bei.
"What am I guilty of?" Liu Bei pretended to be stunned and asked.
"You fought with General Wen Chou, why did you come back, but he was nowhere to be found?" The judge asked.
"General Wen Chou crossed the river to attack the enemy army, and let me stay behind on the opposite side of the river bank to prevent the enemy from attacking from behind." Liu Bei said: "The two of us have divided our troops before the war, and I don't know where he went." ”
"I'll tell you where he went." Yuan Shao finally spoke, and he said coldly: "He is now in Baima." ”
"White horse?" Liu Bei was stunned and asked, "Isn't Cao Zirong also there......
"You also know where Cao Zirong is?" Yuan Shao said: "Wen Chou's lone army went deep and was surrounded by Cao Zirong's command, nearly 5,000 soldiers were all annihilated, and he was also captured by Sima Yi. ”
"Huh?" Liu Bei said: "I said why can't I wait for the news of General Wen, Yu Ban actually dared to cross the river to attack our army, it turned out to be ......"
"You're still pretending." Yuan Shao finally looked up at him: "I really doubt why you came to Hebei now." ”
Liu Bei lowered his head and did not say a word.
"Did you collude with Cao Cao for a long time, and planned to cooperate with the outside world, first cut off our roots and seedlings in Hebei, and then wipe out the Yuan family?" Yuan Shao's tone became very cold.
If this charge is really confirmed by him on Liu Bei's head, even if Liu Bei has a hundred lives, it will not be enough for Yuan Shao to kill.
He knelt down with his legs bent, and said bitterly: "Yuan Gong Mingjian, I am incompatible with Cao Cao, he hates to kill me and then quickly, how can he collude with him?" ”
Liu Bei has told countless lies in his life, but this sentence is true.
In addition, when he cries bitterly, he is full of tears, which is very easy to touch others.
"Liu Xuande, don't be clever." Feng Ji said to Liu Bei: "I only ask you, since you and Cao Cao did not collude, why did your second brother be in Cao Cao's army in the first battle of White Horse?" If you didn't collude with Cao Cao, why did General Wenchou get captured in the first battle of Yanjin, but you retreated? ”
"Yuan Gong Mingjian!" Liu Bei knelt on the ground with tears on his face, and said to Yuan Shao: "I, Liu Bei, was taken away by Cao Zirong to Xuzhou like a lost dog, if it wasn't for the eldest son to welcome me to Qingzhou, and Yuan Gong took me to Hebei, I would have been in a different place." Now that Yuan Gong is crusading against Cao Cao, it is when I am trying my best to do my best for Yuan Gong, how can I collude with Cao Cao? ”
Brushing his chin and beard, Yuan Shao's brows were still tightly locked.
He stared at Liu Bei, and after a long while, he said, "You get up." ”
"If Yuan Gong doesn't give a letter, Liu Bei doesn't dare to get up." Liu Bei was still kneeling on the ground, crying even more unbearable than before.
"Tell me about the situation." Yuan Shao said: "How did Wen Chou cross the river, and why didn't you lose a single soldier and escape back." ”
Liu Bei knelt up straight, did not wipe the tears on his face, and said to Yuan Shao: "When I arrived in Yanjin that day, General Wen thought that the enemy army was small, and if I could make a detour to cross the river and attack from behind, I would lead 500 people to confuse the enemy on the other side of the river, and I would definitely be able to take Yanjin in one fell swoop." General Wen crossed the river the night before, and there was no movement until the afternoon of the next day, and I was wondering that Yu Ban actually led his army to cross the river and pounce on our army. I have few troops, and if I forcibly intercept them, I will surely destroy them all. In order to give Yuan Gong a message, I ordered the soldiers to retreat. ”
Looking at the trial and the others, Yuan Shao asked, "How credible do you think what he said?" ”
The judge replied: "Back to Yuan Gong, if this is the case, there are two or three points of credibility." ”
The eyes fell on the faces of everyone in the hall again, and everyone said that it was somewhat credible.
Yuan Shao said to Liu Bei: "I will let people investigate, if it is not like you said, I will kill you!" ”
"Yuan Gong is only in charge of investigating, I will never dare to say half a lie!" Liu Bei knelt down again.
"Get up!" Yuan Shao waved his hand.
Liu Bei stood up and pushed aside.
Yuan Shao said to everyone: "Pass the order, the army is ready, and when the army is sufficient, our army will march to Yangwu, surround Cao Cao, and then do a decisive battle." ”
Everyone clasped their fists and received their lives.
"Yuan Gong." Feng Ji stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Cao Zirong's garrison of the White Horse has always been a big trouble......
"What are your plans?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Cao Zirong garrisoned the white horse, like a stubborn illness in his heart." Feng Ji said: "You have to get him away." ”
"He has 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, and how many battalions of elite soldiers, how can he drive them away?" Yuan Shao asked.
Yuki glanced at one of the generals present.
Seeing Feng Ji's eyes, Yuan Shao suddenly said to the general: "Ju Yi, how about you take the camp to the white horse first?" ”
Ju Yi came out of the queue and said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong plans to let the first camp attack the white horse? ”
"I can't think of a better person than to go to camp first." Yuan Shao said: "Although Cao Zirong has three battalions of Flying Bear, Dragon Pattern and Breaking Formation, they are not as old as the first battalion after all......
Glancing at Feng Ji, Ju Yi smiled: "I understand what Yuan Gong means, I want me Ju Yi to follow Yuan Gong for many years, but I didn't expect to die on a white horse." ”
"How can the general say such a thing before it is fought." Yuan Shao said: "Back then, at Jieqiao, the first camp was to defeat Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 elite soldiers with 800 people. Now that Cao Zirong has only more than 20,000 people under his command, is it possible that the general will still be afraid of him? ”
"Don't hide it from Yuan Gong." Ju Yi said: "I would rather fight head-on with 200,000 Gongsun Zhan's troops than meet 10,000 Cao Zirong's soldiers on the battlefield." What's more, they refused to defend the white horse, and our army attacked the city with 800 men, what is the difference between suicide? However, since Yuan Gong has ordered, even if I die, I will fight hard for Yuan Gong. ”
Ju Yi's words made Yuan Shao feel very uncomfortable, but when he talked to Yuan Shao, his demeanor was proud, which made Yuan Shao's teeth itch with hatred.
Since the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, Ju Yi has become more and more arrogant, and Yuan Shao has long had the intention of killing him, but he has never found a chance.
Now that Cao Shuo is in Baima, it is better to kill him with his own hands, it is better to use Cao Shuo's hands, so as not to fall into the world's truth.
"The general is righteous, I will personally see the general off." Yuan Shao got up and clenched his fists and said.
"Yuan Gong still prepares a coffin for me, a place to be buried." Ju Yi clenched his fists and said to Yuan Shao: "The last general has taken his leave!" ”
