Chapter 249: Prelude
The next thing was much simpler, both for Yuan Shao and for the rest of the coalition.
Because Xu Rong led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to cruise, Yuan Shao did not dare to be greedy again, but set up camp with peace of mind, waiting for the rest of the coalition army to come. Xu Rong realized that he couldn't take advantage of it, so he didn't attack rashly, but the occasional commotion was inevitable, and Yuan Shao, who didn't have any countermeasures, deliberately pretended not to see it, and acted as a turtle with a shrunken head in a down-to-earth manner.
After all, Yuan Shao's advance action was only a day early, driven by his own fantasy interests, everyone in the coalition army caught up with Yuan Shao in the afternoon of the next day, although he was also tired, but at least he caught up with Yuan Shao. On the contrary, Han Yan was unhurried, dragging Cao Cao with him to the place where Yuan Shao was on the second night.
Listening to what others said, Yuan Shao actually used the excuse of 'exploring the way for the current coalition forces' to prevaricate everyone, Han Yan already knew that his previous guess was right, Yuan Shao must have encountered an ambush, as for who led the ambush Yuan Shao, Han Yan is not clear.
Some people may wonder if other people in the coalition will believe Yuan Shao's foolish words, but you must know that most of the people in the coalition are here for profit, and now Yuan Shao has not taken advantage of it, and he has given them enough face in terms of explanation, so what else is there to say? If he really tears his face, Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to take advantage of it, but one or two of these people will definitely be crippled, and even a few of them will be destroyed, which is not too surprising. How many people will do this kind of thing that is not beneficial?
Yuan Shao's banquet for everyone in the coalition army to 'catch the wind and wash the dust' continued, in fact, it can also be said to apologize to everyone and give others a step. However, Han Yan is not interested in participating, this kind of hypocrisy and snake matter Han Yan has been getting more and more reluctant to do recently, which may be related to the fact that things have gradually come under control, of course, it may not have anything to do with it.
Han Yan went back to his temporary camp to rest, but Cao Cao went to Yuan Shao to inquire about some news, and the banquet didn't end until the second half of the night, and I don't know why they talked so much.
Because of the banquet, many people in the coalition army were in a hurry, so when they woke up almost enough, they were already on the rise, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's men and horses who hadn't made any moves, I'm afraid they would have gathered all the people to find Yuan Shao's trouble.
In fact, they also misunderstood Yuan Shao, after encountering Xu Rong's repeated harassment and ambush, although Yuan Shao couldn't say that he was frightened, but after all, he couldn't stand it, so now he has made up his mind to let others explore the way. It is a pity that those who were calculated are still kept in the dark.
Yuan Shao convened a meeting of everyone in the coalition army, intending to arrange a candidate to explore the way in front of the coalition army, but Han Yan still did not appear.
However, this time it was not Han Yan who intended to do this, but because Dong Bai's messenger came again.
In order not to make others suspicious, Han Yan specially instructed Dian Wei to let Dong Bai's messenger change into clothes in his army, and then mixed behind the patrolling soldiers and was led into the barracks by Dian Wei. It's not that Han Yan is timid, it's just that the more critical things come to, the more careful he should be.
This time, Dong Bai asked people to send the letter, but it was clear that Han Yan did not reply to the letter, because after the messenger handed the letter into Han Yan's hand, he immediately took out a dagger from his arms, and then inserted it into his left chest.
The letter in his hand had not yet been opened, but it had been splashed with the blood of the messenger. Looking at the messenger who fell to the ground and was still twitching, Han Yan's heart couldn't tell what it was like, even if he had already guessed that this person was a dead soldier under Dong Bai, but for such a thing, dying in front of him with such a generous attitude really shocked Han Yan.
Ci is not in charge of the army, although it is difficult for Han Yan to accept such a reality, otherwise he would not hand over the command to Huang Zhong. But after a long time, Han Yan has gradually been able to accept this bloody rule. After all, if you want to get it, you must first pay, although it is the blood and lives of others that you give, but for the sake of the possible peace, Han Yan still accepts it.
But when there is really a person who dies in front of him with an indifferent attitude, this is a different feeling, and this feeling is as shocking as the difference between a student learning anatomy theory and feeling the bloody hand on stage.
"My lord? Lord! ”
I don't know what happened to Han Yan, but after noticing that Han Yan was in a daze, Dian Wei immediately opened his mouth and shouted.
Unlike Han Yan, who lives in his own fantasies half the time, he is used to living a life of chasing tigers and streams, Dian Wei doesn't have so much unnecessary sentimentality, it's just a messenger who commits suicide in order to ensure that the news is not leaked, which is actually not too shocking here in Dian Wei. After all, as far as he is concerned, he is also ready to use his life to protect Han Yan at all times, so he really doesn't have too much emotion.
With Dian Wei's voice, Han Yan gradually recovered from his contemplation, looked at the blood-stained letter in his hand, and sighed silently. After all, if you succeed in the end, then all the effort is worth it, and if you fail...... Then everything is over.
When I opened the letter, the content was very simple. Wang Yun made a move, at the moment when Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital, at the moment when Dong Zhuo appeared at the court meeting, he instigated a group of people to besiege Dong Zhuo, although Dong Zhuo was seriously injured in the end, but Dong Zhuo himself was desperately protected by Lu Bu, who arrived in time, and is now unconscious.
Since Dong Zhuo is unconscious, it is much easier for Dong Bai to snatch power, although there is still Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, but because Dong Zhuo had too tight control of power before, in the end, Dong Bai easily crushed her third grandfather and seized the power in Dong Zhuo's hands. Of course, all this is inseparable from Lu Bu's cooperation, if he had pretended to pass on the word after Dong Zhuo fell into a coma, I'm afraid things wouldn't be so simple.
Wang Yun is dead, even if he didn't do it himself this time, but after all, he is the mastermind of everything, not to mention that this person once beat Han Xiu'er's idea, how could it be impossible for Lu Bu, who had greatly increased his power, not to take revenge on this.
Han Yan's old father-in-law, Cai Yong, although he was not involved in this matter, but so many celebrities and courtiers participated in the practice of assassinating Dong Zhuo, which made him tremble, and when he wanted to intercede for these people, he vomited blood and fell into a coma, and at this time he was already recuperating at home behind closed doors.
