Chapter 373: Yuan Shao's Ambition
More than half a month has passed since the assassination, but the atmosphere in the Hussar General's Mansion is still solemn, not for anyone else, just because the mastermind has been found.
To everyone's surprise, the person who arranged the assassination of Huo Yu turned out to be Liu Ying. When Shi A first said the news, Huo Yu stood on the spot and didn't say a word for a long time. After thinking about it, Huo Yu felt that Liu Ying was also being used by people with intentions.
"Is it because of the little emperor? No way! Huo Yu shook his head and sighed.
"Lord, there are only a handful of people who know about this, and they must have been used by that Yuan Shao!" Guo Jia on the side hurriedly said.
When the plan was first formulated, only Huo Yu and several strategists around him knew about it. Even the person who executed the order no longer exists, so the chances of leaking from within are extremely small. Besides, if this kind of thing was caught by other princes, it would have been announced to the world long ago.
"What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, it must have been done by one of the two people, Yuan and Cao." Xun Yu added.
"Well, this matter will be dealt with by Ben Hou! However, the matter of framing Liu Biao and Liu Bei needs to be strengthened, and it can be regarded as a small help for Sun Ce. ”
"No!"
After everyone left, Huo Yu returned to the backyard with a heavy heart. It's time for lunch, and the ladies are waiting for Huo Yu to eat together.
"Ulanda, why don't you cultivate on the bed?" As soon as he entered the backyard, Huo Yu met Ulanda, who had not yet recovered.
If it weren't for Ulanda's full help in this assassination, Huo Yu's baby daughter would be more than lucky. Therefore, Huo Yu's feelings for Ulanda are now a little deeper.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, everything lying on the bed is about to become moldy!" has been with Huo Yu for a long time, and Ulanda has also learned Huo Yu's way of teasing.
At this lunch, Huo Yu was very worried, and several ladies also saw it, but no one asked. In short, everyone has thoughts, but no one has pierced this layer of window paper.
"Ying'er, go to the study with your husband!" Huo Yu, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, said casually and left in a hurry.
Then, Liu Ying also left with a lot of heart, and the rest of the women were at a loss for what to do. Under normal circumstances, Huo Yu would never call any of them into the study to speak.
"Sisters, Ning'er thinks something is going to happen!" Although Zhang Ning was young, he saw the clues.
"Sister Yan'er, what did your husband Kecheng say?" Zhang Ning asked again.
Cai Yan shook her head and didn't say anything, but she guessed something in her heart. Although Huo Yu didn't say it explicitly, his gloomy face already said everything.
"Sisters, let's go and see!" Mi Zhen suddenly spoke, as if she had noticed something.
The women glanced at each other, then got up and headed for the study.
"Why do you do that? Don't even let the children go? As soon as the girls arrived outside the study, they heard Huo Yu's thunderous roar.
Liu Ying didn't answer, and sat silently on the ground with tears in her eyes. Since she was a child, she has been regarded as the pearl of her father's palm, and she has never been afraid of anyone, except for the man in front of her.
"Do you really think that Your Majesty was killed by Ben Hou? If they had evidence, it would have been published to the world! ”
"If you don't find out early this time, the consequences...."Saying this, Huo Yu's anger has been cut by half, and Huo Yu can't do anything in the face of the woman he likes.
"At this time, I will stop here, Ben Hou will not pursue it!" After sighing, Huo Yu opened the door and walked out, but suddenly found that the ladies outside the door were looking at him with surprised eyes.
At this moment, the stupid people also understood the reason for the incident. Huo Yu sighed again in front of the ladies and left.
As for Liu Ying, she was already silently crying without saying a word.
"Is it wrong? Is it really wrong? Liu Ying kept asking rhetorically in her heart.
Since Huo Yu's assassination, Liu Ying has felt regretful. Regret should not listen to slander, and after thinking about it carefully, what people say is also full of loopholes.
Just when everyone was stunned, Yu'er took the lead in speaking: "Sister, what the husband has done is related to the world. What the husband thinks in his heart is nothing more than the people, why did my sister do such a thing? As everyone knows, the Han Dynasty has long since perished! “
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ying suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning and sobered up a lot.
"My sister is right, the sky has changed, Liu Ying is ashamed of her husband!" Liu Ying, who stopped crying, suddenly became resolute.
Just when Cai Yan stepped forward to comfort him, he saw Liu Ying take out a dagger from his arms and stab it fiercely into his heart.
"Ahh Mi Zhen screamed fiercely.
With this shout, the backyard of the entire Champion Hou Mansion was chaotic again. Huo Yu, who learned the news, hurriedly returned, looking at Liu Ying, who was dying, and was speechless for a while.
"Husband... Monarch... Ying... Child... If you're wrong, you can only die... World... The people...", the killer died before the words were finished.
"The world will eventually be unified, and the people will no longer be hungry!" Huo Yu hugged Liu Ying and muttered.
In the summer of 201 AD, Liu Ying, the wife of the hussar general, died of illness, and Huo Yu, who was already seriously ill, became bedridden. As soon as the news comes out, if the princes of all walks of life in the world have a happy event, if there are firecrackers at this moment, there will definitely be a lot of firecrackers.
Huo Yu is seriously ill, his son is young, Youzhou is no longer a threat, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it is divided. However, they ignored one point, although the news came out, the deployment of the entire Youzhou was still carried out in an orderly manner, but this point was invariably ignored by the princes, except for one person.
"Lord, there is news from Youzhou Xizuo, the champion Hou Mansion is mourning, and Huo Yu can't afford to be sick!" Xun Yu took the information in his hand and bowed to Cao Cao.
"Wen Ruo thinks so too?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.
"This..."
"How can Huo Ponu be so vulnerable, he would have seen it, but it was really a plan to hide from the sky and the sea! Order, go all out to investigate the expansion of the army in Youzhou! ”
"Shhh Xun Yu gasped, if it was really as he thought, wouldn't it be the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.
Some people are sober, others are confused, and Yuan Shao is the most typical representative.
"Report! Lord, the Youzhou army retreated, and the Qingzhou army was empty! A scout hurriedly reported to Yuan Shaoyu.
"How is the strength of Xuzhou?" Yuan Shao asked excitedly.
"The news from Xuzhou has not yet been returned!"
"Go ahead! Revisit! Hearing such exciting news, Yuan Shao excitedly kept rubbing his hands and walking back and forth.
"Lord, such a fighter cannot be missed!" Xu You stood up and admonished.
"Hahaha! The one who knows the Hou is far away! Yuan Shao laughed and was in a good mood.
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou!"
"The last general!"
"You can rectify the soldiers and horses, it's time to recapture the jade seal of the country!" Yuan Shao smiled lewdly.
"The lord doesn't attack Xuzhou?" Xu You asked petrified on the spot.
"Humph! Huo Yu is seriously ill, and his son is young, so there will definitely be civil strife! If you seize the jade seal of the country, you can raise your arms and call out and conspire with the north! Yuan Shao said excitedly.
This kind of Yuan Shao made Xu You a little afraid to admit it, is this still the indecisive and scheming Yuan Benchu?
