At this time, Yuan Shu was convening Yang Hong, Yuan Yin, and Ji Ling to discuss important matters. Yuan Shu sat there, without saying a word, and threw the piece and a letter in his hand to the three of them to circulate.

The three of them glanced at each other, took a quick look at each other, and after reading it, their expressions became a little weird, and they looked at Yuan Shu without saying a word.

Yuan Shu sighed and said: "This letter was originally a few months ago, when Chonghuan led his troops to defend Jixian County, his lieutenants Lei Bo and Chen Lan played together, they impeached Chonghuan for having personal interests with the enemy before the formation, and they have been holding on to it, and even when Wu Ming went with the people, Chonghuan also took the opportunity to shirk and did not send troops to pursue, until the end, Wu Ming went to Jixian County to make an appointment, Lei Chen Er General was originally captured with a drum, Chonghuan still used the words to lure the enemy, what do you think? ”

Ji Ling's temper was a little anxious, and he was the first to say: "Your Majesty, impeach the chief general with the deputy general, Lei Bo and Chen Lan should be killed!" ”

Yuan Shu ignored him, and looked at Yuan Yin and Yang Hong again, Yuan Yin thought for a while and said, "What General Ji said is wrong!" The three armies are all His Majesty's army, if someone plots to rebel and collude with foreign thieves, even if it is a small pawn, it can be reported according to the truth, not to mention the second general Lei Chen, but whether what he said is true or not, the minister does not dare to draw conclusions. ”

Yuan Shu knocked on the table, "That letter was handed over to me by my henchmen today, and it was searched from Chonghuan's mansion, and you have also seen it, it is an appointment with Chonghuanquan and an internal response under me, so you can act cheaply at that time, and the signature of the letter has also been altered, what do you think?" ”

Na Ji Ling was quite excited, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! This must be the enemy's discordant plan! At the beginning, the princes of the Seven Roads came to attack together, if it wasn't for General Pingkou who broke the princes of the Seven Roads in his book, we were still fighting outside at this time, why did we come here to enjoy peace. ”

"I also remembered his merits, so I consulted with you." Yuan Shu's eyes sparkled, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Yuan Yin continued: "Your Majesty, if General Pingkou is really anti-willful, it is really impossible to prevent it, may Your Majesty think carefully!" ”

"I just don't know what to do, so I came to you, if I think about it, what else do I want you to do!" Yuan Shu suddenly reprimanded loudly, causing the three people standing below to kneel down in a hurry, "The ministers are guilty!" Ministers are guilty! ”

"Get up! Let's talk about it, is there a way to discern Chonghuan's heart without affecting my reputation. ”

At this time, Yang Hong, who had not spoken, stepped forward and said loudly: "The minister has a plan to solve His Majesty's worries!" ”

On the second day, Yuan Shu convened his ministers to discuss state affairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou on a large scale, invincible all the way, and that Wu Ming Xiao'er, actually raised the country's troops to save Xuzhou, a few days ago Cao Cao sent a messenger to ask me to attack Pi and cut off Wu Ming's back road, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan immediately went out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shu's brows furrowed, "Then Wu Ming has repeatedly played tricks on me before, and I hate him deeply, this is the time to take the opportunity to take revenge, why not, General Pingkou, you will come!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan didn't seem to notice the change in Yuan Shu's expression at all, and said in a sonorous voice: "Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou this time, if it is successful, Xuzhou will be owned by Cao Cao." We will lead a large army to attack far away, even if we occupy Xiapi, how can Cao Cao allow our army to divide the land of Xuzhou? At that time, the troops of Yanzhou and Xuzhou will attack each other, our army will not defend with few soldiers, and the more soldiers will be unfavorable to the country, isn't it too chicken, our army will go on an expedition, just for Cao Cao's use, there will be a hundred harms and no benefits. Moreover, although there are few soldiers in Xiapi City, according to the report of the spies, there are also 5,000 soldiers and horses; Moreover, Wu Ming won the hearts of the people in Xiapi, and if the people were organized to defend the city together, Xiapi would definitely not be able to break suddenly. If the move is delayed for a long time, the grain and grass will not continue, and when Wu Ming returns with his army, the army will be defeated inside and outside! ”

"Presumptuous! You dare to openly shield that Wu Ming like this, isn't it true that there is an ulterior secret between you? Yuan Shu was originally suspicious of Yuan Chonghuan, and when he said this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be angry.

Yuan Chonghuan was still neither humble nor arrogant, knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty! The loyalty of the ministers can be seen by the sun and the moon! Don't listen to the slanderous rumors of the night, and divide the righteousness of you and me! ”

Yuan Shu sneered, "Since General Pingkou is loyal, then I will order you to personally lead the troops to attack Xiapi, and capture that Wu Ming child for me to vent the hatred in my heart!" ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Yuan Chonghuan kowtowed again.

"This is the decree of God. I still have 50,000 soldiers and horses with you, and Lei Bo and Chen Lan will be the deputies, and I will go out with you on the same day, and scatter the dynasty! ”

After the ministers shouted long live, they left one after another, leaving only Yuan Chonghuan, who was kneeling on the ground, shaking his head and sighing. At this time, Ji Ling walked over and patted Yuan Chonghuan on the shoulder, "General Pingkou, you need to work hard to attack the city this time, this is related to your own net worth." ”

"Thank you, General, I already know, Your Majesty already suspects that I have two hearts, and the king suspects that the minister is dead, what can I do?" Yuan Chonghuan got up from the ground and stumbled towards the palace gate.

Although Yuan Chonghuan knew that this expedition was of little significance, and the hope of capturing Xiapi was also very small, Yuan Shu had already given a death order, and he must carry it out, and he must use all possibilities to capture Xiapi.

The army hurried away, Yuan Chonghuan in order to save time, let the soldiers go day and night, and after ten days, the army had already approached the city of Pi. Yuan Chonghuan asked the army to be stationed five miles outside Xiapi City, and he wanted to go alone to see the defensive state of Xiapi City. Lei Bo and Chen Lan strongly requested to follow Yuan Chonghuan on the grounds of protecting Yuan Chonghuan's safety. Yuan Chonghuan naturally knew in his heart that all this was arranged by Yuan Shu and let these two people spy on him. The last time they were in Jixian County, Lei Bo and Chen Lan were already very dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan, he didn't know that he was full of expectations that the emperor of the same clan could believe in him, but he was still wrong after all.

The three of them came to Xiapi City a mile away, and looked at Xiapi City from a distance, only to see rows of soldiers lined up on the high city wall, with rolling logs and stones piled up beside them, followed by a row of archers, staring at Yuan Chonghuan and the three of them outside the city.

Yuan Chonghuan smiled bitterly, "Two generals, what do you think of the defense of Xiapi?" ”

Lei Bo and Chen Lan looked at each other and replied together: "Please make it clear to the general!" ”

"Although Xiapi has few soldiers, Wu Ming has already expected that we will come to sneak attack, so he has already arranged a defensive strategy, and he is a general. On the city wall, rolling logs and stones have long been prepared, crossbowmen are afraid that there are plenty of arrows, and soldiers are united in resisting the enemy; I also heard that Wu Ming won the hearts of the people in Xiapi, and the army and the people were united in defending the city, how difficult it was to break! ”

"Why does the general always raise the enemy's morale and destroy his own prestige? Our army has 50,000 soldiers and horses, how many rolling wood and stone arrows are there in Picheng? The enemy army has only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and we will attack the city day and night, don't we know that they will rest? ”

"Two generals, I know that you have misunderstood me, but you can know that the heart is the city of qi, the soldiers are the city, the heart is strong, the heart is strong, and the soldiers are strong. Quiet and dedicated, inside and outside the same, no gaps and no flaws, to the main hospitality, although the painting can be guarded. ”

"What a scholar's opinion! Your Majesty has ordered a strong attack, General Pingkou, no matter how difficult it is, we must not take Xiapi, I hope General Pingkou will do it himself! Lei Bo said unceremoniously.

"General Lei!" Yuan Chonghuan's face was ugly, staring at Lei Bo, "I am the chief general of the three armies, and I have the right to cut the subordinate generals first and then play, don't you think that you dare not behead you?" ”

Chen Lan was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "The general is angry!" General Lei is straightforward and fast-talking, he doesn't have the intention to contradict the general, please be gracious to the general! ”

Lei Bo didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The general spares his life, and the last general knows that he is wrong." ”

Yuan Chonghuan turned his horse's head and sighed: "Two generals, tomorrow to attack the city, you and others will lead the troops to take turns to attack the city, so that the soldiers and civilians of Xiapi will not rest day and night, storm for a few days, and then make plans." ”
