Chapter 858: Borrowing a knife to kill
After Ju Yi left, Yuan Shao let everyone disperse, leaving Feng Ji alone.
After everyone dispersed, Yuan Shao said to Feng Ji: "Accompany me to the garden." ”
Following Yuan Shao out of the front hall, Feng Ji asked, "Yuan Gongzhen doesn't plan to attack the White Horse with a large army?" ”
"What if you go?" Yuan Shao said: "What I want to destroy is Cao Mengde, march to Baima, and a big battle will become a siege battle." Cao Zirong must defend to the death, and I don't know when this siege will have a head. If Cao Mengde led the army to rush to the rescue, our army would be flanked by the enemy inside and outside, and it would not be impossible to be defeated. ”
"Yuan Gong is wise." Feng Ji should be the way.
"At the court meeting just now, you also saw Ju Yi rude." Yuan Shao asked Feng Ji: "Do you think it's a little inappropriate for me to do this?" ”
"Back to Yuan Gong, there is nothing wrong with it." Feng Ji said: "Since the attack on Gongsun Zhan, Ju Yi has become less and less concerned about Yuan Gong, this person still has some ability, if I keep him, I will not only be useless to Yuan Gong for a long time, but will cause a lot of trouble." ”
Glancing at Feng Ji, Yuan Shao asked, "Ju Yi shouldn't defect and join Cao Zirong, right?" ”
"His family members are all in Yecheng, and Duke Yuan sent someone back to tell the people in Yecheng to be more careful." Feng Ji said: "If Ju Yi dares to defect in battle, Yuan Gong will order to kill his family, what is this?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way." ”
"It's Liu Xuande, I think Yuan Gong is a little soft-hearted." Feng Ji said: "Such a good opportunity, Liu Xuande should be killed." ”
"What he said is not unreasonable, if I kill him, I am afraid that it will be true." Yuan Shao said: "Let him live for a while first, anyway, he is in Hebei, when he wants to kill, there is still a chance!" ”
"Liu Xuande came to Hebei, and he did a lot of things in secret." Feng Ji said: "He secretly contacts a lot of officials, if he goes on like this, sooner or later there will be many people in Hebei who are inclined to him." ”
"I know all of that." Yuan Shao said: "He thought this was Xuzhou? If he wants to do something in Hebei, then he is really blind. Even if many people are inclined to him, it will not be easy for me to kill him. ”
Feng Ji echoed and accompanied Yuan Shao on the path in the back garden.
"I think that as soon as Cao Zirong came back to Hebei, I fell in love with this son-in-law at a glance." Yuan Shao said: "Who knew that after two years, Weng and his son-in-law would have to meet each other on the battlefield. ”
"Cao Zirong is Cao Cao's son after all." Feng Ji said: "No matter how good Yuan Gong is to him, it is impossible for him to abandon the Cao family to serve Yuan Gong, this is fate!" ”
"Who's to say it's not." Yuan Shao sighed: "It's all fate!" ”
Liu Bei fled back to Liyang, and news of the Battle of Yanjin reached Cao Cao's army.
When Guan Yu heard that Liu Bei was still alive, he was overjoyed.
He hurriedly ran to see Cao Cao.
When he arrived in front of Cao Cao's tent, Xu Chu blocked his way: "Where is Yun Chang going?" ”
"Don't hide it from General Xu, I found out where my brother is, and I am about to say goodbye to Cao Gong." Guan Yu clenched his fists and said.
"Cao Gong has already expected it." Xu Chu said: "I'm waiting in the tent. ”
Guan Yu thanked him and was about to enter the account, when Xu Chu asked again: "There is something I want to ask Yun Chang." ”
"General Xu, please speak!" Guan Yu replied.
"Since Yun Chang came to Cao Gong's army, has Cao Gong treated you badly?" Xu Chu asked: "Why do you always refuse to forget that Liu Bei?" ”
"Gong Cao is as kind to me as a mountain." Guan Yu said: "However, my brother and I have eight friendships, and we once swore together that we would not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but only to die on the same day and month of the same year." This feeling really can't be easily let go. ”
Xu Chu nodded, and said with no expression on his face: "I probably understand what Yun Chang said, Cao Gong is in the tent, please Yun Chang in to speak." ”
Lifting the curtain of the tent, Xu Chu led Guan Yu into the tent.
Cao Cao was reading a book in the tent when he heard footsteps, and he raised his head.
Seeing Guan Yu, Cao Cao smiled slightly: "I knew that Yun Chang was coming." ”
"Cao Gong!" Guan Yu clasped his fists and bowed.
He was about to speak, when Cao Cao said, "I know you are here for Liu Xuande. ”
"Exactly." Guan Yu said: "In the past, there was no news of my brother, I have been looking around, but I didn't expect to be met here, I specially asked Cao Gong to allow me to see my brother, Cao Gong didn't dare to forget it." ”
"If you don't come, I'll look for you." Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei and Wen Chou led the troops to attack Yanjin, and Sima Yi and others under Zirong intercepted and killed Wen Chou halfway, as for Liu Bei, he had already withdrawn when he was forbidden to cross the river. ”
"Did my brother go to Liyang?" Guan Yu asked.
"It should be." Cao Cao said: "However, Yun Chang can't go yet. ”
"Cao Gong promised me at the beginning." Guan Yu said: "Knowing that my brother is in Liyang, how can I not go?" ”
"Yun Chang fought with Yan Liang earlier to prevent him from taking the white horse, do you remember?" Cao Cao asked.
Stunned by Cao Cao's question, Guan Yu said, "So what? ”
"Yuan Shao must hold a grudge because of this, plus Liu Xuande retreated without losing a single soldier this time, how could he spare him?" Cao Cao said: "If Yun Chang goes to Liyang at this time, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." ”
"Even if it is more auspicious, I admit it." Guan Yu said: "As long as I can see my brother, even if we die together......"
"I didn't plan to send Yun Chang to death." Cao Cao said: "Don't hide it from Yun Chang, I have already sent scouts to find out Liu Xuande's movements, if he is safe over there, of course I will let Yun Chang find him." If Yuan Shao had already killed him, what was the use of Yun Chang going there besides sending him to death? ”
Stunned by Cao Cao's question, Guan Yu said, "Is it possible that I still have to wait?" ”
"Rest easy." Cao Cao said: "It's just a few more days, it's been so long, and I don't care about waiting for another three or two months." ”
"But ......," Guan Yu wanted to say more.
Cao Cao interrupted him: "What do I do to Yun Chang, Yun Chang should be clear. ”
"Gong Cao is as kind to me as a mountain." Guan Yu said: "I am toothless and unforgettable in this life. ”
"Since Yun Chang is clear, how can he not believe me?" Cao Cao asked.
Stunned by his question, Guan Yu frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "How long does Gong Cao think it will take to find out from his brother?" ”
"If Liu Xuande hadn't died, Yuan Shao would definitely send him to fight." Cao Cao said: "Even if he is not sent to fight, how can a character like Liu Xuande be unknown in Hebei?" Yun Chang can rest assured, your brothers will be able to meet sooner or later. ”
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before saying to Cao Cao: "Since Cao Gong said so, I can't force me to leave, and I hope that Cao Gong will not break his promise when he arrives." ”
