"Since there is no one in the tunnel, it means that Yuan Shao has escaped from the city, and now he can only look at Min's. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" beside Li Sidao.

When the words fell, the soldiers outside came to report, saying that Ran Min, who was ordered to pursue at the east gate, had returned to the city and was asking to see him outside.

Ran Min came back so quickly, which made Zhang Yuan faintly have a bad premonition, and he hurriedly ordered it to come in.

After a while, Ran Min silently walked into the hall, with a little shame in his expression, and there was even a color on his shoulder.

"Duke Zhou, Min is incompetent, he failed to catch up with Yuan Shao, and he returned defeated, please punish Duke Zhou." Ran Min said gloomily.

The generals around Li Dingguo and Du Yu all changed their faces in shock.

You must know that Ran Min led three thousand elite cavalry to pursue, how could he be defeated by Yuan Shao's weak soldiers who fled in a hurry, and with his force, there was still someone who could hurt him!

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Min, get up." Zhang Yuan was more curious than surprised, and asked, "How were you defeated by the Yuan thief?" ”

Ran Min stood up and sighed: "I was about to catch up with that old thief Yuan, but who would have expected that halfway through, that Lu Bu suddenly led thousands of fresh troops to kill, and the last general was caught off guard, and he fought with that Lu Bu for more than 100 times, and was injured by him, and he had to return defeated." ”

Reinforcements?

Lu Bu?

Everyone was amazed, and even Zhang Yuan's eyes were full of surprise.

"Last time Lu Bu fought out of Yecheng, I thought this guy abandoned Yuan Shao, but I didn't expect him to kill him back, it seems that he still has a friendship with Yuan Shao than Yuan Shao's three sons." Li Dingguo actually had a little appreciation for Lu Bu.

Du Yu was suspicious: "Even if Lu Bu kills him back, where does he get thousands of elite soldiers?" ”

This is also where the big guy is also puzzled, could it be that these thousands of elite soldiers were conjured up by Lu Bu out of thin air?

Li Si had a trace of realization in his eyes, and said lightly: "Lu Bu is from the northeast to kill, and that road is the closest to Yuan Xi, and he probably called Yuan Xi's subordinates. ”

"Yuan Xi?" Li Dingguo was stunned, but shook his head and said: "How is it possible, didn't you say that the sons of the old thief all took care of themselves and abandoned their old sons, Yuan Xi would have come to save him a long time ago, and Zhong must come at this time." ”

"Yuan Xi himself may not be willing to save Yuan Shao, I think it is probably because Lu Bu used some means to seize Yuan Xi's military power and forced him to come to the rescue." Zhang Yuan expressed his guess.

Everyone pondered for a while, and they all thought that this was the only reasonable explanation, if this was the case, Ran Min was defeated by Lu Bu, and there would be no fuss.

"It's a pity that the old dog escaped like this!" Li Dingguo slapped his fists and scolded hatefully.

Zhang Yuan sneered disdainfully, "If he escapes, even if he escapes to the corner of the world, I will kill him, Yecheng has been lost, I see where else he can escape." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't have much regrets, so he ordered to appease the people, rest the soldiers, and prepare to raise troops to pursue Yuan Shao again.

From Liyang to Yecheng, in the war that lasted for more than a year, the soldiers of the Zhou army experienced two protracted siege battles, and although they finally won the victory, the mental and physical strength of the soldiers were seriously overdrawn.

Zhang Yuan knew very well that with the current state of the soldiers, they could no longer support them to continue to go north, and they had to take a break.

So Zhang Yuan issued an order, ordering all soldiers and horses to recuperate, rest for ten days and then continue north.

Zhang Yuan took all the meat and wine from the treasury in the general's mansion in Yecheng, and feasted the generals for several days to celebrate this unprecedented victory.

……

Five days later, in the evening, it was another big victory.

Zhang Yuan drank until he was half drunk and half awake, and then he dispersed the banquet and was helped into the palace by Zhuzhu.

Because the siege of the city has been around for a long time, I am afraid that the ladies will not be able to stand the suffering in the army, so the ladies have returned to Chang'an except for the title rouge, and even the title rouge is also urging the grain and grass in Ancheng at this moment, and he is not around.

Now in Yecheng, Zhang Yuan is in high spirits, and he drank Zhang Duo wine, and he can't wait to vent his energy, but he is not accompanied by a beauty.

Zhang Yuan had an idea, but he had an idea.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Zhu Zhu walked into the hall and arched his hand: "Duke Zhou, that woman is already outside." ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly showed evil intent, and he waved his hand, signaling to bring it in.

Zhuan Zhu retreated, and after a while, with a faint fragrance, a beautiful woman walked into the inner palace with an uneasy face, and hesitated step by step.

"Concubine...... Bow...... Meet Zhou Gong. The beautiful woman bowed, with a reluctant expression on her face, and bowed to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan sat up, and a pair of eagle eyes as sharp as knives shot coldly at the beautiful woman kneeling in front of him.

This beautiful woman is the Liu family, the wife of Yuan Shao, who was captured by Zhang Yuan a few days ago.

There is no shortage of beauties around Zhang Yuan, although this Liu family has a bit of beauty, how can he compare to his wife, and she is still a vicious jealous woman, and she has no talent, Zhang Yuan originally disdained to possess her.

However, at the moment, all the ladies are not on their side, and Zhang Yuan doesn't mind using her to vent his anger.

In the middle of the situation, she is still Yuan Shao's wife and Yuan Shang's wife.

Zhang Yuan really wanted to see what kind of annoyed and angry face Yuan Shao would have when he learned that his wife and Yuan Shang heard that his wife had slept with him, Zhang Yuan, a mortal enemy.

This is the reason why Zhang Yuan rose up tonight and summoned her here.

Therefore, after seeing Xiangyang that year, Zhang Yuan forgot about this Liu family.

"Liu, do you know that with your identity, you should have been a corpse now." Zhang Yuan said coldly.

Liu's frightened body trembled, and hurriedly said: "The concubine body has been willing to return to the Duke of Zhou, the concubine body is a female stream, what the husband has done, the concubine body is completely unknown, and I also ask the Duke of Zhou not to be angry with the concubine." ”

"As Yuan Shao's wife, you enjoy the glory and wealth that Yuan Shao gave you, and you should live and die together, and share wealth and prosperity, and now when you have to pay the price for what Yuan Shao did, you say that you and Yuan Shao have no Song family, Liu, you are really smart." Zhang Yuan sneered, his words full of sarcasm.

Zhang Yuan was sarcastic, and Liu was ashamed to hear it, his face was flushed, he was busy prostrate on the ground, and sobbed: "Zhou Gong Mingjian, in fact, the concubine persuaded her husband not to embarrass Zhou Gong, but the husband didn't listen, and the concubine had no choice but to be gentle, so please ask Zhou Gong to be gracious." ”

On Zhang Yuan's young face, the sarcastic sneer was even stronger.

Of course he knew that what Liu said was a lie, how could she persuade Yuan Shao not to go against him, what he said now was just a lie for his life.

But this also proves that this woman is willing to do anything in order to survive, and her dignity or something is only secondary.
