It is not very far from Shouchun to Xiapi.

A few days later, Zhao Yun escorted Yuan Shu to Xiapi.

Yuan Shu, who was locked in the prison car, looked like ashes.

He thought that by giving up those treasures, he could save his life, but he didn't think that Zhao Yun didn't take the treasures at all, and still sent him to Cao Cao.

"General Zhao!" In the prison car, Yuan Shu said to Zhao Yun in despair: "The good plan you and Cao Zirong set up ......"

"What's wrong with me and Childe?" Zhao Yun asked, "Why did Yuan Gong suddenly come up with such a sentence?" ”

"Got my treasure, but sent me here." Yuan Shu said: "I should have known that General Zhao was loyal to Cao Zirong!" ”

"There is no doubt about my loyalty to Childe." Zhao Yun said: "What I want to tell Yuan Gong is that your treasures are not in vain. ”

"It's already in Xiapi, could it be that General Zhao still wants to let me go?" Yuan Shu said with a helpless smile.

"I dare to let you go, do you dare to go?" Zhao Yun smiled slightly and asked Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu sighed and tilted his face to the side.

When he came to Xiapi, he knew that he was dead......

If Zhao Yun really let him go here, he was not helping him, but wanted him to die earlier!

The team escorting Yuan Shu came to the Xiapi official mansion, and Xu Chu greeted him.

"General Zhao!" Arching his hand to Zhao Yun, Xu Chu said, "Gong Cao has been waiting for a long time. ”

"I sent Yuan Shu to Xiapi on the order of Gongzi's army, and I was unharmed all the way." Zhao Yun said: "Give it to General Xu!" ”

"Duke Cao asked General Zhao to personally escort Yuan Shu to speak." Xu Chu said.

Zhao Yun responded and instructed Deng Zhan: "General Deng, you take the soldiers to wait for me at the city gate, and we will return to Huainan when we see Cao Gong." ”

"General Zhao, please!" Xu Chu stepped aside and said to Zhao Yun.

personally escorted Yuan Shu into the official mansion, and Zhao Yun went to the backyard study under the guidance of Xu Chu.

In addition to Cao Cao in the study, Xun Yu and other staff members were also there.

Xu Chu reported to the house first.

Knowing that Zhao Yun was coming with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Quickly invite Zilong to come in and speak." ”

Walking out of the study, Xu Chu said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, Duke Cao invites you to come in and speak." ”

"Do you want to ......" Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Shu, who was twisted by the soldiers.

"Gong Cao will see him later." Xu Chu said: "Please General Zhao go in first to speak." ”

Zhao Yun had no choice but to enter the study.

When he entered the house, all eyes fell on him.

"I've seen Cao Gong!" Zhao Yun saluted and said.

"I have long heard that General Zhao Zilong under Zirong is very brave and handsome." Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yun: "It's just that I haven't had a chance to talk to Zilong......

"Cao Gong is wrong to love." Zhao Yun said: "I sent Yuan Shu to see Cao Gong on the order of Gongzi Jun, and Yuan Shu was outside the house......

"It's not time to see him yet." Cao Cao asked, "I heard that Zirong won the jade seal of the country?" ”

"It is true." Zhao Yun said: "It's just that Gongzi didn't let me bring it." ”

"He's going to stay?" Cao Cao asked.

"Of course not." Zhao Yun said: "Gongzi plans to wait for Cao Gong to return to Xu Du and personally deliver it to Cao Gong. ”

Cao Cao nodded: "He is really thoughtful, I am in Xiapi, sooner or later I will lead the army back to Xudu, it is inconvenient to carry the jade seal of the country on my body, it is better to let him send it back to Xudu." ”

"Zilong escorted Yuan Shu all the way." Cao Cao said: "It's better to stay in Xiapi for two days, relieve your fatigue and then go back." ”

"Cao Gong is kind, and the last general should have complied." Zhao Yun said: "It's just that I still have to return to my son, and I don't dare to delay." Now that Gongzi has won Huainan, he also plans to march to Lujiang and other places, and then take most of Yangzhou for the Cao family. ”

"That's what Zilong said." Cao Cao said with a smile: "Escorting Yuan Shu is meritorious, I will reward it together!" ”

"Thank you Cao Gong!" Zhao Yun saluted and said, "The last general will retire!" ”

After Zhao Yun retreated, Cao Cao asked everyone: "Zilong didn't send the heirloom jade seal, what do you think he wants to do?" ”

"Cao Gong rest assured." Cheng Yu said: "Gongzi is a person who understands etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat, and he will never do anything that should not be done with the jade seal of the country." ”

"I also know that Zirong won't." Cao Cao asked again: "Yuan Shu was escorted to Xiapi, what should I do?" ”

"Two ways." Xun Yu said: "One is to hand it over to His Majesty. ”

"Second?" Cao Cao asked.

"As for the second, it is to send Yuan Shu to Hebei and hand it over to Yuan Shao for disposal." Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shao is about to break through Yi Jing, and he will definitely not ruin his reputation for Yuan Shu. ”

"It's really appropriate to hand over Yuan Shu to Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao said: "They are brothers......

"Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers, they have never been on good terms." Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shu once told me that Yuan Shao was passed on to Yuan Cheng, but I learned from others that Yuan Shao was originally Yuan Cheng's son......"

Cao Cao smiled: "No wonder Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway have always been hostile, if it were me, I would definitely be angry if I was maliciously slandered." ”

"That's what you mean, too?" Cao Cao asked the others.

The crowd chimed in.

Cao Cao said to Xu Chu: "Bring Yuan Highway in." ”

Xu Chu walked out, and after a while, he walked into the study with two guards who were escorting Yuan Shu.

Seeing Cao Cao, Yuan Shu looked ashamed and turned his face to the side.

"Highway, not seen for many years." Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked, "Don't come to harm?" ”

"Cao Mengde, I am now your prisoner, and my life is in your hands, so you can dispose of it." Yuan Shu twisted his face and didn't look at Cao Cao and said.

Cao Cao always had a smile on his face and said to Yuan Shu: "I'm just catching up with the highway and not harming your life, so why be full of hostility?" ”

"You're not going to kill me?" Hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu was stunned.

"I used to be a minister in the same hall as the highway." Cao Cao said: "Although you have done something rebellious, you still can't bear to do harm. ”

"And you're going to let me go?" Yuan Shu's eyes showed hope.

"I'm willing to let you go, but I'm afraid Your Majesty won't." Cao Cao looked embarrassed and said: "Blatantly put, I can't afford the notoriety!" ”

"Don't let it go, kill it or not." Yuan Shu asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"I still have to leave you with a way to live." Cao Cao sighed and said, "As for whether the highway can get away with death, it's not me, it's your Yuan family." ”

"You want to ......," Yuan Shu's brows furrowed.

"I'm going to send you to Hebei." Cao Cao said: "Originally, I was the same brother as you, so I shouldn't be harmful!" ”

"Cao Mengde, you sell a good favor!" Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and he yelled at Cao Cao: "Yuan Benchu has always been at odds with me, and he was happy to kill me when he sent me to Hebei!" ”
