Chapter 186: Hornet's Nest
Both Tian Feng and Xu You know Yuan Shao's character better, Yuan Shao's hesitation can't hide these two people at all, in the past, Tian Feng jumped out first, but this time Xu You jumped out first.
Xu You: "The more crazy the lord and the state army are, the more it can represent the importance of Zhang Xiang, as long as we catch Zhang Xiang, all problems will be solved." Xu You's performance impressed Tian Feng.
Yuan Shao: "Our army has just experienced the battle of Youzhou, and if Zhang Xiang escapes safely, how will we face the angry Bingzhou army." Xu You didn't expect Yuan Shao to be entangled in this.
Xu You: "Even if Zhang Xiang escapes back to Bingzhou, he doesn't have the courage to counterattack us, no matter if there is Dong Zhuo Lu Bu behind him, his troops can't shake us, Bingzhou is sparsely populated after all, and everything will not be a problem as long as we give Zhang Xiang a step down at that time." “
Tian Feng: "Once the lord Zhang Xiang escapes from Youzhou, it will be really difficult for us to attack and merge the state, and if we break it, we will break it!" There really aren't many opportunities like that. The rest of the advisors also seconded it.
Yuan Shao saw that everyone had such thoughts, and simply gambled, let Yan Liang lead his troops to resist the attack of the Bingzhou army, and quickly asked Wen Chou to give up the pursuit of Zhang Xiang and assist Yan Liang to resist the enemy.
Yuan Shao handed over everything to Han Qiong, this is also something that can't be helped, at the moment Yuan Shao doesn't have too many generals who can be mobilized, Zhang Hegaolan is still guarding Jizhou, and he can't be moved.
The state army is menacing again, Yan Liangwen must be ugly, and in the end, Han Qiong can only arrest Zhang Xiang alone, Han Qiong also feels that he is burdened with a heavy responsibility and does not dare to be sloppy, but since the last time Zhang Xiang escaped from the waterway, there has been no trace.
Han Qiong also has no clue now, Han Qiong is not afraid of Zhang Xiang running around, he is afraid that Zhang Xiang will not come out of hiding anywhere, so that he will have no trace, but how can things make Han Qiong happy?
Zhang Xiang is not easy to match, how can he not see what the situation is? He was indeed hiding, hiding in a place called Mang Township, saying that it was a township but not a township.
Mangxiang is an ancient city in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it has been very dilapidated to this day, so he is the township, but there is actually the territory of the county, it is said that it is a city wall but there are too many gates, in addition to the four gates, there are natural or man-made doors.
There was no defensive effect at all, Zhang Xiang and his party entered Mangxiang through these gates, Mangxiang is a mixed place, in addition to local residents, there are many business travelers.
After all, it is also a city in no matter how it is broken, much stronger than the wilderness, and over time, Mangxiang has become a very cheap place to stay, and this place is even more lively than many ordinary county seats.
Gradually, it has become a place where the imperial court does not care, and naturally there are many criminals gathered here to avoid the imperial court or the enemy, and Zhang Xiang and others can be regarded as a fish in water when they enter here.
The most important thing in this place is the secret prostitution, most of them are local people, Zhang Xiang casually chose a secret prostitute with a separate courtyard and walked in, but unfortunately it was picking up customers.
Zhang Xiang can't manage so much, let Han Long go in to solve some troubles, this kind of thing can only be done by Han Long, Zhang Xiang can't leak the news, so the people inside can't live.
Han Long didn't resist this kind of thing at all, he kicked open the door at once, rushed in, and then Zhang Xiang heard a woman's scream, and then Han Long carried the two corpses out.
Now there are no small soldiers around Zhang Xiang, all of them are generals, and the work of digging and burying the pit fell on Zhao Rui, Zhao Rui is also from a big family, so he never thought that he would do this job.
But there's no way, bury people faster! It was not good if the corpse was seen outside, and when Zhang Xiang and the others entered the house, they smelled a pungent smell.
Zhang Xiang burned everything on the futon, Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Xiang burning things, "Third brother, are we hiding in this place?" I heard that our people have already fought with Yuan Jun. “
At this time, only Zhang Fei dared to ask Zhang Xiang like this, if it was someone else, Zhang Xiang would not give any explanation, "The eldest brother is hiding here only temporarily, Yang Xu and Cheng Yu know how to measure proportions, their mobilization of the army is just thunder and rain, I am not in them They dare not fight with Yuan Jun, at most they only toss and toss in the place of Daijun, we can't go out blindly now, let Han Long go out to investigate first, I believe that the military advisors are also trying to find us." “
Hearing Zhang Xiang say this, everyone was relieved, Zhang Xiang was right, Yang Xu, they really didn't dare to act rashly, now was not the time to fight with Yuan Shao, not to mention that Zhang Xiang was not there, they couldn't afford this responsibility.
Yang Xu contacted Yu Zeng to let them make a move, and Yu Zeng did not hesitate after receiving the news, and immediately shot at Youzhou, but Yu Zeng's actions were only to plunder, using the advantage of cavalry to harass Yuan's army.
Liu Xing, Wei You and the others saw that Yu Zeng was just tempting, and they didn't have any opinions, and besides, Yu Zeng's looting also brought them some good things, even if they couldn't go back to Youzhou to get something.
Cheng Yu also hurried to contact Cao Cao, Zhang Xiang's relationship with Cao Cao is not shallow, he and Yang Xu know this, Cao Cao has just taken Yanzhou, Yanzhou is also adjacent to Jizhou, and Cao Cao should also help Zhang Xiang from the perspective of interests.
When Cao Cao received the letter from Cheng Yu, he was also shocked, he didn't expect Zhang Xiang to be so bold, he dared to enter Youzhou at this time, and he was also in danger, Cao Cao passed the letter to everyone.
Xiahoudun is a military general, and he didn't have so many straight eyes, "The lord Zhang Xiang helped us, we had to save him when he was in trouble, and we have to pay back this favor." “
Xun You: "This letter is Zhongde's handwriting at a glance, Zhang Xiang is also discerning, and he can actually recruit Zhongde, the lord seems that we really want to help this time." “
Cao Cao: "Who is this Zhongde, Gongda seems to know, of course I want to save Zhang Xiang, he once saved my life, I Cao Cao can owe anyone, but I can't owe Zhang Xiang a favor." “
Xi Zhicai: "Cheng Yuzi Zhongde, we are indeed very familiar with this person, and he is very talented to find him for the lord, but unfortunately he has left Yanzhou at that time, but I didn't expect him to go to Zhang Xiang, regardless of the relationship between the lord and Zhang Xiang, Yuan Shao's development is too fast, and we can't let him be happy, this time we can sell Zhang Xiang a favor." “
Cao Cao: "I rarely convince people in my life, but Zhang Xiang is definitely one, he is much more threatening than Yuan Shao, but I don't want Zhang Xiang to die at the hands of others, his life can only be mine." “
Cao Cao's evaluation of Zhang Xiang is not high, whether it is the uncle and nephew of the Xun family or Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu finally spoke, Xun Yu is happy so he rarely speaks on such occasions, "The lord Zhang Xiang is too ambitious, he can become Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, it shows that he does not take the Han family in his eyes, and the lord had better not have anything to do with such a person." “
Xun Yu said such a thing, Cao Cao was not surprised at all, Xun Yu is a little too stupid and loyal, if others say this about Zhang Xiang, Cao Cao will not have a good face.
But it was Xun Yu, and Cao Cao could only endure it, "No matter from which aspect, I have to save Zhang Xiang, do you have any specific methods?" "Everyone knows that Cao Cao's decision will not be changed.
Xi Zhi is the chief strategist under Cao Cao, and his status is even above the uncles and nephews of the Xun family, "The lord has recently risen again in Qingzhou, threatening us Yanzhou at all times, at this time, we can't move the army lightly, or the lord writes a letter to Yuan Shao, it is good to express his heart, and Yuan Shao's person should be considered." “
Most of the strategists agreed with Xi Zhicai's words, but most of the generals were against it, and most of Cao Cao's current generals had participated in the Battle of Luoyang, so they also owed Zhang Xiang favors.
In the eyes of these generals, Zhang Xiang is their savior, if it weren't for Xi Zhicai, they would have scolded them a long time ago, and finally Cao Cao thought about it and agreed to Xi Zhicai's strategy.
The generals can only obey orders, and Xi Zhicai didn't expect that Zhang Xiang would have such a good relationship with the generals, he knew that his words would be more tactful, and the generals would not have such a big reaction.
Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, very unpolite in words, when Yuan Shao saw this letter, he was very angry and tore up the letter in front of everyone, "Cao Ah deceived you very much." “
Everyone hasn't reacted to who Cao Apu is, the eunuch in the palace has also arrived, Yuan Shao knows very well that this means that Dong Zhuo has also intervened, this Zhang Xiang is really a hornet's nest that can't be stabbed!
Dong Zhuo's meaning is similar to Cao Cao's, but Dong Zhuo is more greedy, he not only asked Yuan Shao to let Zhang Xiang go, but also asked Yuan Shao to return to Jizhou, which means that even if Yuan Shao gets Youzhou, it is really nameless.
Yang Xu and Cheng Yu also learned about the news later, and they didn't understand how Dong Zhuo could make a move, Yang Xu immediately thought of Dong Bai and wrote to Dong Bai to confirm it.
The final result turned out to be that Dong Bai heard that Zhang Xiang was trapped in Youzhou, so he sent someone to ask Dong Zhuo for help, Dong Zhuo was not a good person, but he was indeed a good father, and he immediately took action.
Li Ru couldn't stop it, in fact, Li Ru had already gotten the news, but Li Ru didn't want Dong Zhuo to participate in this matter, Dong Zhuo was already jealous, and it should be the time for him to recuperate.
There is no benefit in rushing forward now, but Dong Zhuo's attention has been decided, and Li Ru has to do his best, Li Ru has changed the taste of things as soon as he makes such a move, Dong Zhuo's original is just support.
Now it has become a threat, since Li Ru wants to make a move, it will naturally not make people feel better, and he can't recuperate and have to make others more chaotic, if it weren't for Zhang Xiang is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru wants to put Zhang Xiang in the position of Youzhou Mu, put him on the fire to roast, and let Zhang Xiang become the target of the public and Yuan Shao, and the situation at that time is what Li Ru wants to see the most.
