Chapter 351: You! It's fake
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or providence, anyway, the process of assassinating Yuan Shao was very smooth, and when Tai Shici cut off Yuan Shao's head, he felt a little unreal.
It's simple, it's really simple. It was like a cake falling from the sky, and it fell squarely on Tai Shici's head.
Well, Yuan Shao, under the support of his own soldiers, came to the military camp of Tai Shici and others. The chief general of this military camp, surnamed Shen Mingliang, is an authentic Yecheng person, in terms of Yuan Jun's qualifications, he can't be the chief general of this military camp, but because he is a Yecheng person, he is exceptionally reused. Of course, the main reason is that he, a local, is more familiar with the situation in Yecheng, and he was promoted in order to better recruit the people in the city.
Even according to his own words, he has never fought for Yuan Shao at all, and since he was conscripted into the Yuan army, he has been doing the business of requisitioning people for Yuan Shao. However, he is in Yecheng, especially the neighborhood where his home is located, because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he usually has a bold spirit, likes to make friends with some people in the rivers and lakes, and also likes to fight grievances, so in the area where he lives, he has a good reputation among the people. After he became a general of the Yuan army, in peacetime, he requisitioned the people for Yuan Shao, and called on those people to come out voluntarily with his own prestige, rather than directly whipping and driving them away like the ordinary Yuan army. Some people who were unwilling to work for Yuan Shaobai were also persuaded by him to work.
Therefore, in the area he was in charge of, there were very few cases of mistreatment of people's husbands, and there were no cases of people dying because of heavy labor. Of course, he is a small rich family himself, with a little wealth. Occasionally, out of pocket. so that their soldiers and men will not work hungry. So, he is responsible for the area. Its repaired walls are the fastest and best.
Because of this, his news reached Yuan Shao's ears. And in Yuan Shao's heart, he has always thought that he is going to defend Yecheng so much, and he takes into account that he will inevitably use the ordinary people of Yecheng in the future, if he can have more people like Shen Liang to help. It will be more beneficial for him to resist the siege of the New Han army in the future.
Therefore, he wanted to come to meet Shen Liang, encourage him, and send some money and grain by the way to sell people's hearts. Let these people work harder for themselves. Yuan Shao even wanted to set a model for the troops under his account to follow suit. In addition, he also figured out that Shen Liang of Guò conveyed to the people of Yecheng that it was not only him Yuan Shao who wanted to defend Yecheng, but also the common people who should participate in defending Yecheng in order to defend their homeland. Of course. If it weren't for the fact that the beer of the New Han Dynasty has always been very good, and there were no rumors of those things that killed the people, otherwise, Yuan Shao really wanted to publicize the brutality of the New Han Army to the people under his rule. Let the people of Jizhou give birth to a kind of service for Yuan Shao. The belief of defending the homeland and the country.
It's a pity that these are afraid that they won't work, if it is replaced by Cao Cao. Or you can mislead the people in this way, so that the people can resist Cao Cao's invasion of their territory from the heart.
So. When Yuan Shao entered Shen Liang's military camp, he wanted to express a sense of trust and kindness to Shen Liang. He didn't let his personal guards escort him in, but entered the barracks with a smile with a group of soldiers who sent supplies.
This, Yuan Shao is not really so bold and assured. In fact, Yuan Shao is now on the lookout for assassins all the time. Especially recently, after he assassinated Liu Yi, he had to always be on guard against Liu Yi's people who would come to treat him in his own way. In addition, speaking of which, the strange people and strange people that Liu Yi has snared and the super fierce generals he has subdued seem to be more than him Yuan Shao, and if those super fierce generals are going to assassinate him, he has to guard against it.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao didn't think about it, and in his own army, he actually mixed in with a super general.
Think about it, Yuan Shao seemed to have no vigilance at all, smiling, and swaggering into the barracks, and there was no personal protection by his side. For Tai Shici, isn't this equivalent to a big pie falling from the sky.
Therefore, originally Tai Shi Ci and Shi A and the others were still planning how to fight a big battle, so that they could get close to Yuan Shao, who was heavily guarded, and they could put Yuan Shao to death, but now, seeing Yuan Shao so careless, where would they miss this good opportunity to kill Yuan Shao?
When Yuan Shao walked past Tai Shi Ci, who was mixed with Yuan Bing, Tai Shi Ci directly raised the halberd to kill, and without saying a word, he directly pierced Yuan Shao's body with a halberd. And Yuan Shao could only look incredulous, screaming and swallowing.
In fact, the entire barracks were stunned. Except for Shen Liang and Shi A, who knew that they were going to kill Yuan Shao, the ordinary soldiers, they didn't know who the people who had just been brought into the barracks here were and didn't know Tai Shici's origin, so they didn't know the plan to assassinate Yuan Shao.
In addition, Yuan Shao's personal soldiers outside the barracks were also all stayed. None of them thought that Yuan Shao would be stabbed to death in front of them like this.
It wasn't until Tai Shi Ci used the long halberd crescent moon to directly cut off Yuan Shao's head, raised it high with the tip of the halberd, and shouted that Donglai Tai Shi Ci came to take Yuan Shao's life, Yuan Jun all woke up.
Yuan Shao is their lord, their backbone, Yuan Shao is dead, they are like headless snakes, extremely panicked. Of course, being able to become Yuan Shao's personal soldier and general, there is no doubt about Yuan Shao's loyalty.
For a while, there were many soldiers of the Yuan army who were red-eyed and rushed towards Tai Shici frantically.
Not only the Yuan army's own soldiers, but even the Yuan soldiers in Shen Liang's military camp also rushed towards Tai Shici.
Tai Shici hung Yuan Shao's head on his waist, and he killed him out of the barracks with a halberd. And Shi A and the others, who were not exposed, as well as the soldiers of the New Han Army who were mixed in the barracks, were secretly protecting Tai Shici.
Thousands of Yuan Shao's personal soldiers besieged and killed Tai Shici in front of the barracks, and the battle was fierce for a while. However, because of the suddenness of the incident, the news did not have time to spread for a while, so it did not cause much of a sensation for the time being.
Among them, some of Yuan Shao's own soldiers hurriedly reported to the various armies in the city that Yuan Shao had been killed by the assassins, and naturally some people reported this alarming news to the palace.
However, just when Tai Shici was struggling to kill. When he was about to take Yuan Shao's head out of Yecheng, he didn't know. Hundreds of other people left in a hurry and returned directly to the palace.
The man. Naturally, it's the real Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao is now a frightened bird, and he is extremely careful when entering and leaving the palace. Now, Maocheng lost 50,000 cavalry, and Handan City was lost again, which made Yuan Shao feel a little stormy and uneasy for a while, and always felt that something was not right, and he had a premonition in his heart. I felt that the army of the New Han Army would soon come to Yecheng. At this time, there are some things that he must deal with in person, otherwise, when the army of the New Han Army arrives, his army will not be strong, and everyone will panic, at that time, how can he resist the New Han Army?
Boost the morale of the army. It is better to personally go and cheer up the generals below. However, he felt that it would be too dangerous for him to appear in person. In order to ensure his own safety, he naturally had to use a stand-in.
This Yuan Shao's stand-in. It's just that he looks eight or nine points like Yuan Shao, and after Yuan Shao occasionally discovered him, he has been hiding him in the dark. Usually, let him learn some of his own behavior habits. However, he is rarely actually used.
That stand-in Yuan Shao. It's not a good thing, he was originally a child of a fallen Bo family, but he was favored by Yuan Shao and secretly kept him in captivity, so that he could live comfortably. Yuan Shao has a stand-in, even his wife doesn't know, only his favorite son knows. Sometimes, Yuan Shaoxing's cause occasionally makes some things that are not humane to outsiders. Of course, more is that secretly playing with this stand-in Yuan Shao is a slave girl, and he is happy. With that kind of thing, the stand-in Yuan Shao felt very close to Yuan Shao and was very treated by Yuan Shao, he didn't know that Yuan Shao had always planned to use him to do some dangerous things instead of himself, so as to better ensure his safety.
This time, Yuan Shao pushed him to the front again, which made him feel a little happy from the bottom of his heart, because he didn't have to do anything himself, he could get what Yuan Shao had, including women and power. Even if it was only a short-term possession, however, he also enjoyed this short period of power peak. From the moment he appeared in front of the world as Yuan Shao, he felt this kind of high pleasure.
Therefore, he was a little carried away, and he didn't have a sense of worry, so he swaggered out to show off.
It's a pity that he didn't enjoy this kind of highlight moment for long, and he was completely ended by Tai Shici.
Let's say that Yuan Shao saw that the stand-in was killed, and when he heard that it was Tai Shici who made a move, he was suddenly shocked that the three souls were gone, and took advantage of the chaos to quickly let his soldiers and generals protect him and sneak away quietly, and hurried back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, he still had a little palpitations, and he was terrified when he thought about it. He knew that it was definitely a blessing to be able to save a small life this time, if he didn't have a stand-in, if he didn't suddenly feel uneasy and let the stand-in appear openly instead of himself, then he would definitely be the one who died now. Thinking about Tai Shici's bravery, if he personally assassinated himself, would he be able to avoid his blow? Thinking of the body that the stand-in was pierced by Tai Shici's blow, Yuan Shao's heart didn't know how fast it was beating, and he was terrified when he touched his heart.
Returning to the palace, Yuan Shao was afraid for a while, but he was hateful and a little proud. And Tai Shici actually dared to assassinate himself alone, it was really bold, and he really thought that his army of 200,000 or 300,000 was muddy? Today, it is inevitable that Tai Shici will be damaged in his own Yecheng, and Liu Yi will inevitably be asked to cut off an arm!
Hum! and Liu Yi are already endless, Tai Shi Ci is a general that Liu Yi relies on, as long as he kills Tai Shi Ci, he can also give Liu Yi a blow. When Yuan Shao thought of this, he hated it in his heart, and he wanted to give an order to mobilize the army to besiege Tai Shici to death.
However, he suddenly remembered that the killing of his stand-in must have been known to the whole city by now. At this moment, his military horse will definitely be frightened, and the most important thing now is to clarify the facts immediately and prove to the people of Yecheng that he is not dead at all. First of all, you have to prove it from the people around you. Otherwise, if you suddenly go out, others will not be able to accept it. After all, that stand-in looks too similar to himself, so many people watched the stand-in being killed, the head that was almost the same as himself was pinned to Tai Shici's waist, if he didn't make an explanation, I'm afraid no one would believe him, and no one would follow his orders.
So. Yuan Shao thinks that he is now. You have to explain to the people around you that you are not dead at all, and that what you are dying is just a matter of your own stand-in.
He suddenly remembered. I have a stand-in, in addition to myself, Guo Tu and his two sons know, of course, there are also close confidants who have been guarding him by his side, but these pro-henchmen usually don't show up much, they stand up and speak, and they are not very convincing. But now Guo Tu is dead. Yuan Tan is not around, what about Yuan Xi? Handan City has been lost, and I don't know if he has escaped back? If Yuan Xi helps to confirm it, then the people around him will naturally believe it.
Let the cronies ask, to Yuan Shao's surprise, Yuan Xi has actually escaped.
didn't say anything, he went to see Yuan Xi immediately.
Now, of course, within Yecheng. was a little turbulent because of the assassination of his stand-in, and Yuan Shao didn't really prove that it was only his stand-in who died, and he didn't dare to take his safety lightly.
So, he immediately used all his strength. Let them be by their side to protect themselves from the same misfortune as the careless stand-in. What's more, Yuan Shao knows. Among the new Han army, fierce generals are like clouds. Now, Tai Shi Ci has appeared. Who is sure that there is no other fierce general lurking in the shadows to deal him a fatal blow?
In this way, Yuan Shao, under the heavy protection of his own people, first went to the side hall where Yuan Xi and the others were.
At this time, Yuan Shao also happened to see that the people in the hall were in a panic, feeling confused one by one because of the death of his stand-in, and even, his beloved Mrs. Liu of the Liu family, fell to the ground as if she had lost her soul at this moment, muttering something impossible on her lips, with a painful look. Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Yuan Shao's heart was comforted, because, as one of his many women, Liu, she was able to be so painful and sad after learning of her death, which means that this woman does love her in her heart, and this is not in vain for her love.
Yuan Shao waved his hand, and with a hula, the personal soldiers of the brigade entered the hall first, and he walked in under the escort of a group of masters.
"Ahem...... What are you doing? Give me a reminder, is it so easy for me Yuan Shao to be killed? Open your eyes and see, who am I? Yuan Shao coughed heavily.
In fact, there is no need for Yuan Shao to specifically remind them, everyone in the side hall has already been attracted by Yuan Bing who broke in, and they saw Yuan Shao who was surrounded in the crowd at a glance.
"Lord, you, you're not dead? What's going on...... Why ......"
The courtiers, they had just heard the news of Yuan Shao's death, but they saw Yuan Shao appear in front of them, and for a while, they were all shocked and a little confused.
"Haha, this is a long story, but you can rest assured, the one who was killed is just a stand-in who looks eight or nine points similar to my Yuan Shao, how can I, Yuan Shao, be assassinated so easily?" Yuan Shao was very satisfied with the shocked gazes of these people.
"Stand-in?"
"Well, Yuan has always had a stand-in, but you don't know it, you know, except for Guo Tu, Tan Er, and Xi'er, it's just these guards around me. I won't say much about the specifics, I want to know, but let Xi'er tell you, now, the whole city is spreading the news that I was killed by Tai Shici, I am afraid that it will shake the hearts of our army and cause turmoil in our Yecheng. You guys, for the time being, have to work hard for me to prove to the troops in the army that it was only my Yuan Shao's stand-in, so that they can rest easy, and by the way, send them an order to kill Tai Shici, so as to cut off one of Liu Yi's right-hand men. ”
"Yes......"
Those strategists and generals who were waiting for Yuan Xi with the Liu family, although they still had many doubts in their hearts, they basically believed Yuan Shao's words. In fact, what Yuan Shao said is also true, and what is in front of them now is the real Yuan Shao.
"Husband...... You—You're really not dead? Isn't it you who died? "Among them, the most surprising thing is the Liu family, in her heart, she really cares about Yuan Shao, at least, Yuan Shao has treated him well over the years.
She was pleasantly surprised and was about to go to Yuan Shao.
"Wait! Don't leave here, everybody! At this time, Yuan Xi suddenly looked excited and shouted as if he was a little crazy: "No, don't be fooled!" He's not my dad Yuan Shao at all! ”
"What? Yuan Xigongzi, what did you, what did you say? For a while, the strategists and generals who were about to leave to give orders to Yuan Shao all stood still, and Liu also looked at Yuan Shao, who was guarded by a group of personal soldiers, with a suspicious expression, and did not dare to walk over for a while.
"That's right, he's right, my dad does have a stand-in, and it's true that as he said, my dad has a stand-in, only the deceased Mr. Guo Tu and his eldest brother Yuan Tan and I know, as well as their personal guards. However, he is the fake one, the real father, I am afraid that he was indeed assassinated. Yuan Xi said loudly.
"What? What did you say? Say I'm fake? Yuan Shao heard Yuan Xi's loud shout, he was also stunned, how could he be a fake? This son, what is he talking about? How could he say I was a fake?
Yuan Shao's heart was really stupid, and for a while, he didn't know whether he was angry or angry.
"That's right! You, Yuan Shao, are not my father at all, you! It's fake! ”
Yuan Xi pointed at Yuan Shaodao with great certainty. (To be continued......)
