Yuan Shao secretly mobilized his troops and horses, and ordered his generals Zhang Nan and Jiao to go to Yingchuan, and mobilized private troops to make a detour to intercept and kill Xiahoulan.

If Ye Zhao led the troops, Yuan Shao might be more cautious, after all, Ye Zhao won more with less There are too many examples, in the first battle of Nanyang and Western Hubei, Yuan Shao has seen Ye Zhao defeat the tens of thousands of elite Yellow Turban Army under Zhao Hong with a partial team of teachers and students, which makes Huangfu Song's arrangement redundant.

Muye escorted, Ye Zhao also won more with less, and gave Liu Hongsheng a bloody way, causing the Luoyang party to be killed by Liu Hong.

If Ye Zhao leads the troops, let alone four thousand, forty thousand must be carefully arranged, then he is the master who can turn the tables whenever he has the opportunity, but if it is just a partial general under Ye Zhao, Yuan Shao doesn't care too much, it is enough to have such a person as Ye Zhao, he doesn't believe that everyone under Ye Zhao's command is so strong.

"Primordial!" Yuan Shao, who was about to go back to the house, was stopped, and when he looked back, Yuan Kui appeared behind him at some point.

"Uncle." Yuan Shao hurriedly saluted, stepped forward and wondered, "Why is my uncle here?" ”

"I heard that you are mobilizing recruits from the West Garden and contacting the Yingchuan clan, what happened? Qian Shuo has already sent someone to ask, this Xiyuan New Army, although you are in charge of the soldiers of the first colonel of the Chinese Army, but after all, you are still controlled by Qian Shuo, how can you transfer troops without authorization? Yuan Kui took Yuan Shao to the study and looked at Yuan Shao with a frown.

"Uncle, the child got the news, and Ye Zhao hurriedly sent his family out of Luoyang early this morning and went to Huaixian." Yuan Shao smiled and said, "The child thinks, Ye Zhao must have noticed something, so he ......."

"Even if he notices something, if he has a plan, he won't let you find out." Yuan Kui snorted coldly and said, "Then Xiahou Lan is just a nobody, that is, with the escort of two thousand elite soldiers, Ye Zhao will rest assured that his wife and children's lives are entrusted to him?" Is it so easy for you to find out? ”

"Uncle, rest assured, the child has bought off a steward in Ye Zhao's mansion, and the news is correct." Yuan Shao smiled confidently.

"Let the old man guess, the steward must not be trusted by Ye Zhao in the mansion, and he is quite suppressed by others, and he is not doing well, but he still has some rights, and he can know most of the things in the mansion, right?" Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shao and sneered.

"Uh...... Uncle also has a dark line in Yefu? Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yuan Kui suspiciously.

"Even if there isn't, the old man can guess!" Yuan Kui sneered: "If I were Ye Zhao, if I wanted to reveal the information in the mansion to you, I would also pick out such a person to let you buy it, and then I would put some irrelevant news to you, and at a critical time, I would deliberately reveal some misleading information and let you make a big mistake!" ”

"Uncle is saying that this Xiahou Lan is the bait released by Ye Zhao, the purpose is to lure us and others to attack?" Yuan Shao was shocked: "Ran Shao sent people to keep an eye on Ye Mansion, and he didn't notice anything else. ”

"How cautious is Ye Zhao?" Yuan Kui sighed and said, "If he wants to do something, how can he teach you to find out the news so easily?" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he didn't say a word, turned around and left.

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Kui stopped Yuan Shao and asked.

"Order Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch to come back immediately, if they are not the real Ye Zhao family, why waste soldiers and horses?" Yuan Shao replied.

"What if Ye Zhao deliberately made you guess like this?" Yuan Kui asked rhetorically.

"Huh~?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui and frowned: "It's just that, how do you determine which way is true?" ”

"Then you have to think about where else can this Ye Zhao go except Hanoi?" Yuan Kui smiled and said: "In this Luoyang City, Ye Zhao is indeed powerful, but when he leaves Luoyang City, who knows him?" ”

It's not that I don't know Ye Zhao here, but who else will sell Ye Zhao's face, which is also the biggest difference between Ye Zhao and the Yuan family, Ye Zhao is powerful in Luoyang, but if he goes out of Luoyang, who will starve Ye Zhao? Because of the last time Ye Zhao admonished Liu Hong, everyone hated him, so to speak, if Ye Zhao went out of Luoyang, almost everyone shouted and beaten, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, even if they leave Luoyang, with the current momentum of the Yuan family, it can almost be said that the world can go.

So now if Ye Zhao is out of Luoyang, there are really not many places he can go to except Hanoi, and where scholars gather, Ye Zhao must be unable to move an inch.

"The child can't think of it, not to mention this Central Plains place, even if it is a bitter cold place such as secluded and Xiliang or a barren land such as Jiangdong, there may not be a place for him! What's more, the princess is delicate and pregnant, so she can't stand the bumps, and the bitter cold land is definitely not a place for the princess to go. Yuan Shao frowned and said, thinking about it like this, except for Hanoi, Ye Zhao really had nowhere to go.

"So, maybe it's also Ye Zhao's suspicions, so it's also possible that Xiahou Lan really escorted Ye Zhao's family." Yuan Kui said with a smile: "You can first order someone to attack Xiahou Lan's department." ”

"But what if not?" Yuan Shao frowned.

"You also said, the princess is delicate, and she is pregnant, she can't stand the pain of bumps, it will be difficult to hurry, and her line will be slow, these days you can wait for the news of Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, while observing the dynamics of Ye Zhao's other tribes, as long as the princess is there, there will always be flaws, and I think, if Ye Zhao doesn't go to Hanoi, I'm afraid the chosen place will not be too remote, you take a closer look."

"Whoa!" Yuan Shao got Yuan Kui's order, his confidence increased greatly, and after he hurriedly bowed, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Kui again.

"You've been quite close to that prince lately?" Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shaodao.

"Isn't the master also close to me?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Kui puzzled.

"Although the prince is talented and learned, he is too rigid and bold, and he is not as good as his reputation, this person can make friends, but he can't make deep friends, and he can use but can't be used." Yuan Kui shook his head, he has been an official for decades, and he has seen countless talents, although Wang Yun is talented, but he knows a lot about his personality Yuan Kui knows a lot, this is not a person who can achieve great things, Yuan Kui doesn't want Yuan Shao to get too close to this kind of person, Ye Zhao has a saying that is actually not wrong, background does not mean ability.

"My nephew wrote it down." Yuan Shao nodded, Yuan Shao was still very in awe of Yuan Kui, the elder who pulled him out of the concubine until he was enough to compete with his disciple Yuan Shu, and kept this matter in his heart.

After the uncle and nephew talked about the current situation in the court, they separated and went back to their rooms, Yuan Shao thought about it and called Feng Ji over, if Ye Zhao didn't know Hanoi, where would they stay?

Although Ye Zhao thought that someone would make a move, he didn't expect that his strategy would be discovered by Yuan Kui so quickly, fortunately, the affairs of Hanzhong are secret, and no one has known about it so far, otherwise, I am afraid that even his own deployment and planning in Hanzhong will be picked up.

"Lord!" The next evening, Ye Zhao was about to rest, but saw Xi Zhicai coming in a hurry.

"What?" Ye Zhao saw that Xi Zhicai looked in a hurry, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly got up and said.

"Please call back Zilong and the princess quickly." Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Ye Zhao was puzzled.

"This is the news that Ji Ling just sent back, all the soldiers and horses under the lord's command have been monitored, I am afraid that some people have already noticed the lord's scheme, but they don't know where the lord wants to settle down for a while, just monitor, but they have not made any moves." Xi Zhicai handed a piece of information to Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Hanzhong is the place where the lord is plotting, but now it does not completely belong to the lord, if it is exposed to people too early, for the lord, there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit!" ”

At the beginning, Ye Zhao recommended Manzhong as the Taishou of Hanzhong, which was directly through Liu Hong, and did not go in the normal order, and Liu Hong was also directly appointed, without giving any reason, and the relationship between Manzhong and Ye Zhao, except for a few people in the mansion, outsiders had no way to know, so this Hanzhong actually secretly belonged to Ye Zhao, and few people knew, but this time looking at the other party's posture, it was clearly intended to see where Ye Zhao was going to send his family, once the matter in Hanzhong was known, now Ye Zhao is in Luoyang, and the surrounding area of Hanzhong is beneficial to Liu Yan, Nanyang Yuan Shu is on the side, and the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong have no much kindness to Ye Zhao, once someone wants to sabotage, this Hanzhong will become the target of everyone, I am afraid that before Ye Zhao arrives in Hanzhong, Hanzhong will have to change hands.

"Is there any news from Xiahou Lan?" Ye Zhao's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice.

"There is no news so far, I'm afraid that someone has blocked the way out!" Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.

"Good!" A murderous intent flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes: "This is to trap me to death in this Luoyang City!" ”

"He Man!" After a moment of silence, Ye Zhao shouted outside the door.

"The last general!" He Man strode in with his head held high and bowed to Ye Zhao: "What does the lord command?" ”

"Immediately take my arrow, catch up with Zhao Yun, let him hand over his family to Ji Ling and Fang Yue, escort the princess back to Luoyang, and Zhao Yun doesn't have to come back, immediately lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to aid Xiahoulan." Ye Zhao took out an arrow from his body and handed it to He Man solemnly.

According to the rules set in advance, Xia Houlan will send someone back every half day to report the situation, but now that a day has passed, no news has been received here, I am afraid that someone has already done it, Ye Zhao is now inconvenient to leave Luoyang, so he can only let Zhao Yun lead his troops to the rescue.

"Whoa!" He Man didn't ask carefully, he directly took the arrow and put it in his arms, and strode away.

Ye Zhao rubbed his temples and said, "If I knew this was the case, I should have sent my family away earlier!" ”

"The lord should plan for the future at this time." Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice.

"What do you think, let's hear it!" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said.

"Now the lord's retreat has been cut off, and there is no way to retreat, if the Son of Heaven dies, when the family is in trouble, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to deal with it, if they wait for the new emperor to succeed to the throne, even this Luoyang City will not be able to protect the lord." Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice, the reason why Ye Zhao can have such a momentum in Luoyang now, to put it bluntly, is inseparable from Liu Hong's support, once Liu Hong dies, the new emperor is young, and Ye Zhao has no possibility of auxiliary government, even if Liu Hong leaves an edict, then it will be Ye Zhao's real dangerous moment!
