Chapter 68: Steep Change
Yuan Yun is not an idle man who doesn't listen to things outside the window, and now the hotel's business has gradually begun to expand to the surrounding areas of Xudu, so all kinds of news will gather to Yuan Yun in time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Undercurrents are surging! This is a comment from Yuan Yun to the world.
Yuan Shao has begun to mobilize troops on a large scale, needless to say, he also knows who he is preparing to deal with, but so far, he is still a little hesitant, his advisers are divided into two groups, one group of people claim that they have just defeated Gongsun Zhan, so they need to recuperate, and the other group advocates taking advantage of the high morale to take Cao Cao's forces in one fell swoop, and it is difficult to decide has always been Yuan Shao's bad problem, and this time is the same.
Sun Ce laid the foundation for a foothold in the south, the power of the Sun family has begun to take root, and some big clans in the south have also begun to accept this fact, so the people who have been resisting the Sun family at the beginning have also begun to loosen, as for the people, they don't care who governs the territory at all, they only care about who can feed them, obviously Sun Ce did it, at least promised, so the Sun family also stood firm.
Because of the geographical advantage, Liu Biao's development speed is very fast, almost only in his territory in the whole world, the people are basically not too worried about food and clothing, and now there is sufficient grain storage and a thriving population, so he is thinking about what to do? It's just that his worried personality made him offend Cao Cao's tiger whiskers again, and he was a little hesitant and even scared after all.
Liu Zhang of Yizhou is too lazy to continue to catch rats with Zhang Lu, and now there are often large and small wars on the border between the two, although on the surface the two have not declared war, but the battle of this scale has become more and more intense, and it is only a matter of time before the war is declared.
In the distant Xiliang, Ma Teng has already risen to the top, but Li Dao is just blocking the way into the Central Plains, and now Chang'an is still under the actual control of Li Dao, and rumors of discord between the two are also constantly spreading.
Looking at the various information sent back, Yuan Yun smiled lightly, today is very leisurely, the ladies of the family have all gone to Cao's Mansion, and only Qing'er has chosen to stay by her side, so this afternoon is leisurely.
As for Cao Ang's people, they are almost reluctant to come out of the new city, and they are all focused on developing the new city, according to their enthusiasm, it will definitely be very smooth.
"Lord, Xuande Duke Liu Bei is here to find you." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he waited at the door.
Yuan Yun is not surprised, the three brothers of Liu Bei have been quite familiar with him recently, and they will always come to Yuan's Mansion every once in a while, and it is difficult to come and go without being familiar.
However, Yuan Yun always felt that there was a layer of estrangement with Liu Bei, which was inexplicable, others said that the best friend was that they had eaten together, carried guns together, bled together, and prostituted together.
Yuan Yun pondered for a long time, and felt that only Cao Ang seemed to meet this requirement, he had eaten food, blood flowed, and Rouge House had also been there.
For Liu Bei, Yuan Yun always thought that the other party's purpose was not pure, as for why he thought so, Yuan Yun only thought that it was his own preconceived delusion.
Liu Bei still smiled gently, every time Yuan Yun saw this smile, he would always think of those kind uncles, and this signature smile was also very satisfying to imitate, at least Yuan Yun himself failed several times.
"Good afternoon, Uncle Huang." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he sat down in the main seat.
Every time they entertain the three brothers in the lobby of the front yard, this has almost become a habit, as for their own study, Liu Bei and Guan Yu seem to be more resistant, probably they don't like the big round table.
Liu Bei returned the salute, and then said eagerly: "I came to see Yuan Hou today because I received bad news. ”
Yuan Yun was stunned and puzzled: "I don't know what made Uncle Huang so flustered?" ”
Liu Bei said: "Some of our spies came to report, saying that after General Cao Ren captured Hanoi County, he handed over the city defense to Shi Lian, and he himself returned to Xudu lightly, and gathered the dead soldiers recruited before, I am afraid that they came to deal with Yuan Hou." ”
Yuan Yun was even more puzzled after hearing this, Cao Ren is going crazy about the rhythm, and he can't be so rampant if he hates himself, right? Also, Cao Ren must be very secretive when he does this, how could Liu Bei know about these secret things?
Liu Bei saw Yuan Yun looking at him with a puzzled expression, and immediately understood a little, so after making a decision, he resolutely said: "Bei has never been a person who is willing to be subservient, and now growing vegetables in Xudu is just a temporary expedient measure, many of the parts of Bei are active in the periphery, and General Cao Ren also has Bei's subordinates, and they have also been reused, so I understand Cao Ren's actions this time, so Yuan Hou should remember to be careful." ”
Yuan Yun was quite moved in his heart, Liu Bei exposed this kind of old bottom, and he really let it go, otherwise as long as he whispered a few words to Cao Cao, Liu Bei would probably die without a place to be buried.
Hurriedly bowed, Yuan Yun said: "Uncle Huang's kindness, Yuan Yun is unforgettable, if I hadn't known this news earlier, I'm afraid it would really be endless." ”
Liu Bei shook his hand disapprovingly, and said: "Bei has always been Yuan Hou is his little brother, how can I watch you being killed, this time General Cao Ren brought all the dead soldiers he recruited, Yuan Hou still made preparations earlier, if necessary, our three brothers will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”
Yuan Yun thanked him again, and then replied: "I'm going to move to live in the new city, if Cao Ren dares to attack again so blatantly, Ben Hou will definitely make him regret it for life." ”
Liu Bei asked a little nervously when he heard this: "I don't know when Yuan Hou is ready to leave for Xincheng?" Bei can send his third brother Zhang Fei to accompany him for protection. ”
Yuan Yun politely refused: "Uncle Huang is also a person who can't help himself in Xudu now, these escort things, my escort can naturally be completed, and Uncle Huang's kindness will be rewarded in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Yun glanced at the sky outside, and then continued: "I plan to leave in the middle of the afternoon, and it should only be evening when I arrive in the new city, just enough to organize people to deal with Cao Ren." ”
Liu Bei nodded in goodness, and was ready to leave in an instant, and repeatedly told Yuan Yun to be cautious.
Yuan Yun sent Liu Bei out of the gate of the Hou Mansion all the time, then turned around and went to the backyard, and beckoned Qing'er over, and asked her to go to the Cao Mansion to inform the sisters and let her stay in the Cao Mansion for a longer time, and not to come back in a hurry.
When Qing'er saw Yuan Yun's expression, she suddenly had some doubts, so she was reluctant to go, and just wanted to be by Yuan Yun's side.
Yuan Yun took a lot of effort to coax Qing'er to go to Caofu, he didn't believe that Cao Ren dared to attack Caofu, so the female dependents of the family were safest in Caofu, and he had to hurry to Xincheng, and then organize forces to deal with Cao Ren's dead soldiers.
After explaining to the housekeeper Zhang Xiang that the Hou Mansion needed to strengthen security recently, Yuan Yun sent someone to find Liu Yiyi, who was still busy in the hotel, and asked her to go to the Cao Mansion to live temporarily.
After dealing with these things, Yuan Yun recruited Guo Yi and asked him to contact Xu Yi and others, and be sure to pay more attention to the situation around Xu Du.
After packing up, Xiao Liu had already driven the frame to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Shi Shen took ten very experienced veterans to accompany him, and a group of people drove to the east gate of Xudu.
The team had just arrived at the East City Gate, and Wu Yong, who had not seen each other for a long time, suddenly ran out, stopped Yuan Yun's frame when he saw it, and then walked to the car window.
Without waiting for Wu Yong to speak, Yuan Yun said, "Did you find that there are more idlers outside the city?" ”
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Yuan Hou is really a child of immortals, I can't hide anything from you, some of my scouts came to report, saying that there have been a lot of idlers outside the East City recently, but when I sent someone to arrest them, I didn't catch any of them, so I came here to remind Yuan Hou that you must be more careful when you go to the new city from the East City Gate." ”
Yuan Yun nodded, and then said to Wu Yong: "You just have to watch the city gate, you must not let go of the idle people, there must be no peace in the city of Xu Capital recently, Lord Wu must not lose a big one because of a small one." ”
Wu Yong's heart was shocked, could there be something big about happening? Yuan Yun must have a deep meaning in reminding himself like this, it seems that he is telling himself that he must not make mistakes recently, and he will thank him immediately after thinking about it.
Yuan Yun didn't pay any attention to Wu Yong, but continued to leave Xudu from the east gate, and only after arriving at the outskirts did he say to Shi Shen, who was riding a horse: "Divide three or four people to explore the road in front, although it is only five miles, but if the enemy has the intention to ambush, he can still do a lot of things in these five miles, let's not capsize in the gutter." ”
Shi Shen promised, and immediately dispatched three veterans who had been scouts to ride their horses and gallop out.
The frame continued to move forward, and it took less than a stick of incense to walk, when a sudden change occurred, and a group of people came out of the woods on the side of the road in a black manner, and everyone shouted Yuan Yun's name.
Yuan Yun's heart jumped, he never thought that Cao Ren would come so quickly, could it be that he could take a plane when he rushed back from Hanoi?
Xiao Liu immediately stopped the frame, Shi Shen also brought Yuan Yun's mount, at this moment it is more convenient to ride a horse than to take a car, and the veterans around him also took out their crossbows, and began to shoot without hesitation,
There were dozens of dead soldiers who rushed out, and when they shot down a batch, a new batch continued to press them, completely ignoring their own lives, and kept shouting to kill Yuan Yun, just like a beast.
Shi Shen frowned, and immediately said to Xiao Liu: "You take the lord to go first, leave it to me here, don't look back." ”
Yuan Yun was anxious in his heart, and just wanted to stop it, but suddenly found that the mount under his crotch hissed, and jumped out in an instant, extremely fast, and when he looked back, he found that his old horse's buttocks were stabbed by a stone sinking, and all the potential of the old horse was stimulated.
Yuan Yun only felt the wind in his ears, and in an instant, he had already run out a hundred meters away, and Xiao Liu also came at the same time, his eyes were full of sorrow, so it seems that Shi Shen is probably more than lucky.
The two of them rushed towards the new city for a stick of incense, and there was no longer a sound of fighting behind them, it was almost evening, and the woods and shrubs on both sides of the road were lush at this moment, and several homecoming birds were constantly hovering in the air, but they refused to land.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Liu didn't want to think about it and shouted: "The lord fled to the left, leave me alone!" ”
Before the words fell, I saw dozens of people rushing out of the woods again, this time everyone was a cavalryman, and the steel blades in their hands were glowing with cold and cold light, but this group of people was unusually quiet, they did not scream, nor rushed up, but gradually dispersed, wanting to surround Yuan Yun and the others.
These people are the ones who are really used to assassinate themselves, Yuan Yun clearly felt in his heart, this group of people is well-trained, and everyone is also very well-equipped, not at all like a group of rabble just now, it seems that they have been tricked into the encirclement by the enemy.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yun couldn't help but blame himself secretly, because he usually came to Xincheng a lot, so he always felt that he was familiar with this road, so he let go of his vigilance, and now that he suffered this catastrophe, he could only blame himself for winning too many times in the past, and as a result, he unconsciously underestimated the enemy.
Xiao Liu had already rushed up against the enemy on the left at this moment, the horse was very fast, and he didn't stop the reins when he got close, and let the horse crash into the enemy group, instantly knocking the opponent's horse team open, and Yuan Yun also got out smoothly.
When he turned his head to look, he found that this little Liu, who had been following him, was so brave, constantly flying on the back of the enemy's horse, and every time he fell, a head rolled off, and no one was spared.
But even if Xiao Liu was brave, he only had the strength of one person, and many of the enemy's cavalry had already bypassed, leaving some people to deal with Xiao Liu, and the others were chasing after Yuan Yun.
After less than a stick of incense, Yuan Yun's old horse sat down and let out a wail, and immediately fell to the ground, throwing Yuan Yun out five or six meters away, if it weren't for the soft grass on the ground, this fall would probably break his neck.
As soon as Yuan Yun fell, a knight chased after him in an instant, and he was about to chop down with his sword, but suddenly there was a loud noise, and the knight immediately fell from the horse, and bright red blood continued to bloom from his chest.
As soon as this loud noise came out, the horses of the other knights were frightened, and they instantly became a mess, and Yuan Yun took this opportunity to let go of his legs and feet and ran towards the dense forest.
When Yuan Yun finally ran to the edge of the woods, a look of despair immediately appeared on his face, the pursuers had already reached the front, and the speed of the horses was indeed not comparable to human feet.
With a miserable laugh, Yuan Yun touched another musket, and at the same time touched the seven-star treasure knife rewarded by Cao Cao, killed another enemy, and then changed hands to commit suicide, and if he lived, he would only be tortured by these people.
A group of knights finally gathered, and then rode their horses around Yuan Yun and began to circle around, but no one came up to slash and kill, as if they were playing with Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun's expression was resolute at the moment, without a trace of hesitation, this is itself a Warring States era, life and death are just one death, there is no need to be afraid or fearful, an adult's heart makes Yuan Yun still very calm.
Suddenly, a knight rushed out of the horse pen and went straight behind Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun had also noticed it, and instantly raised his musket, but before he could fire it, he saw that the knight who rushed towards him had fallen from his horse with an arrow.
In an instant, I heard a loud shout outside the horse circle: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, you will wait for the death as soon as possible!" ”
Yuan Yun's heart was beating wildly, and he just wanted to shout happily, but he suddenly felt a huge pain in the back of his head, and then his eyes were dark, and he fainted in a daze.
