Splendid.

It can be said that all the materials used to make this box were the most precious in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Hand-embroidered screens, finely carved tables, and delicate corner shelves, everything here seems to show the wealth of the owner here.

Extravagant sandalwood spread out in the room, and the whole room was very hazy, and only two men could be faintly seen talking something, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even recognize their faces.

This is Changle Palace.

It is the place where Yuan Shu's officials are drunk and dreaming of death.

It is also the place where Yuan Yao envelops his own forces.

There is already a ** area in the hall, but the atmosphere in the box is tense.

The charcoal fire in the room was hot enough, Yuan Yao was just wearing a thin shirt, he sat in front of the desk, supporting his forehead with one hand, rubbing his temples with the other, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were solemn.

There is not a single woman... There is not a single woman in such a box?

Yuan Yao, who was in deep thought, suddenly got up and paced back and forth in the room. He seemed to be a little irritable, looking at the mountains of cases on the table, he suddenly burst out, and suddenly flicked his sleeves, sweeping the bamboo slips all over the ground.

The noise in the house had already reached the ears of the guards outside, and these guards were all Yuan Yao's dead soldiers, so of course they buckled the door uneasily.

"All step down, the world is fine!"

In the past two months, Lu Fan has grown a sheep's horn beard, and his whole face looks more mature, and after he finished scolding the guards, he stood motionless in the room as before, watching Yuan Yao get angry.

"How long! How long has it been! ”

Yuan Yao looked a little tired and roared hysterically at Lu Fan.

"It's been fifty-eight days since General Gao set out on the expedition, and it's been thirteen days since we last got General Gao's information."

Lu Fan didn't have a trace of emotional fluctuation when he said these words, in fact, he had to answer Yuan Yao's questions every day, so he naturally kept in mind the time when Gao Yun went on the expedition.

It's just that the situation has changed.

It all started thirteen days ago, the day Gao Yun's last information was obtained.

When Yuan Yao knew that Gao Yun was attacked by Cao Mengde's tens of thousands of troops in Xiapi, he couldn't accept it at first. Of course, he knew the strength of Gao Yun's army, and there was no room for fighting back in the face of Xiahoudun's elite soldiers.

But Yuan Yao still believed in Gao Yun, when he saw Gao Yun for the first time, he instinctively felt that this peer younger than himself had the ability to turn decay into magic, so this time he still chose Gao Yun to be able to save the day.

But one day, two days, three days ... Ten days. Gao Yun's troops seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no messenger ever sent information to Shouchun's side. No matter how strong Yuan Yao's psychology is, it is still inevitable that he will be shaken...

To be honest, Yuan Yao is lonely. Since he was born, he was destined to be lonely. Because of the illustrious family, his peers have chosen to avoid him, except for fear, that is, flattery, where will there be any friends and the like.

But Gao Yun is different... It's really different. The first time he recruited Gao Yun, Yuan Yao just had the attitude of trying it out. But then he discovered the power of this peer in depth.

Please Ying went out to Beihai and promised to collect outstanding talents in the world, Yuan Yao could see his own shadow from Gao Yun, he felt that Gao Yun was too similar to himself, the same skill, the same confidence. So after that night talk, Yuan Yao not only regarded Gao Yun as his subordinate, but also as a confidant. The second-level bond that had been established a long time ago was the proof that the two were each other's confidants.

So he didn't want Gao Yun to die at all, he knew the purpose of his father sending Gao Yun, and he also knew Cao Mengde's determination to intercept and kill Gao Yun, even if he intellectually felt that Gao Yun was more than lucky, but he still hoped that this difficult person could survive.

"Don't worry, Kong Wenju and the others should be fine, after all, Cao Jun made an alliance with the lord, and Kong Rong will be under the command of the lord, so Cao Mengde's goal will only be General Gao."

"How could I not know?" Yuan Yao looked a little decadent, and said: "Kong Wenju's safety is not important to me, but Gao Zisi's life is an important part of my plan, how can this person be wrong?" ”

Looking at Yuan Yao's appearance, Lu Fan solemnly spoke: "Why don't the prince think about it the other way?" Since Cao Jun's goal is not Kong Wenju, then Kong Wenju will inevitably let everyone have a way out. What's more, Kong Wenju's ownership of the lord is a foregone conclusion! ”

"What do you mean?" Yuan Yao raised his head sharply and looked at Lu Fan, as if he had caught a clue in his words.

"Shizi can assume that if General Gao is dead and Cao's army has retreated, Kong Wenju will definitely lead the army to return to Shouchun alone. Even if there is a delay on the road, it is impossible that not a single letter will come! ”

"Huh?" Yuan Yao's pupils gradually dilated, although it was already covered with bloodshots, but he could still see his kind of joy for the rest of his life.

"Ziheng means that Zi Si is not dead yet, and he is still on the way to escape, so he can't spare himself to deliver the letter?"

"Very likely." Lu Fan's tone was categorical, and he said: "So the prince doesn't need to worry, his subordinates know the importance of General Gao to the whole plan, but what we can do at this time is to deal with the matter after General Gao's return, and ask the lord to send troops to support General Gao when necessary!" ”

Yuan Yao sat down slowly, and drank the bronze wine bottle on the desk. He is a smart man, but he was carried away by grief and indignation, and now that Lu Fan said this, how could he not understand?

Ziheng also knew that the reason why his father agreed to Zisi's expedition was largely to borrow Cao Mengde's hand to remove Zisi.

It's normal to think about it, Zi Si is a descendant of Lu Bu, and it is a hot potato wherever it is placed by the princes, and it is better to be able to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of it.

What's more, this is what Mr. Yan meant, his father has always listened to Mr. Yan, so it is really difficult to think that his father sent troops to support his son. ”

"The son of the world is wrong." Lu Fan said with a smile: "It's good that General Gao is a descendant of Lu Bu, and it's not bad that he can't be reused under any prince." Kong Rong sent a letter of aid, the lord sent General Gao to the expedition is a retreat and advance strategy, and it is the best result to earn Kong Rong and let General Gao die at the hands of Cao Mengde.

But! ”

Lu Fan suddenly changed his words, "But now it's different, assuming that General Gao is not dead, the lord can't say that this matter is a personal feud between Lu Bujun and Cao Mengde's army." On the day when General Gao returns triumphantly, everyone in the world will recognize General Gao as the lord's command, whether it is out of morality or the prestige of a prince, how can the lord still get rid of General Gao?

I'm afraid that at that time, in order not to chill the hearts of the generals under his command, the lord will greet him for hundreds of miles and celebrate General Gao's victory! ”

...

The room became quiet again, and the guards outside the door didn't dare to eavesdrop on Yuan Yao's conversation first, trying to distract themselves.

There was a click, and the door had been pushed open. As soon as the guards look at people, they salute respectfully.

"I've seen Lu Changshi."

Lu Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Prepare the horse, the prince wants to go back to the Taishou Mansion!" ”
