Yuan Shu summoned Yuan No in Beigong Lantai.

Accompanying Yuan Wei was Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Yan Xiang, Jin Shang and other important civil and military ministers.

Yuan Shu cared about Yuan Wei for a rare time, and first asked Hua Tuo: "Doctor Hua, is the son okay?" ”

Hua Tuo hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, whether the son is okay or not, but he is just recovering from his illness, it is best not to work too hard." ”

"Got it." Yuan Shu waved his hand back from Hua Tuo, then looked at Yuan Tuo again, and said, "Now you should tell me what is going on, right?" ”

After Yuan Wei explained the truth of the matter, Yuan Shu suddenly said angrily: "The boldness of the erection is so bold that even I dare to deceive, don't you know that this is the crime of bullying the king?" ”

The ministers in the room burst into laughter.

Because everyone could see that Yuan Shu was not really angry.

Yuan Wei knelt down from the seat and sat up, and said with sincere fear: "Father's forgiveness, Erchen's move was originally just a thought of what to do, I really didn't think that Cao Cao, a traitor, would actually fall for the scheme, let alone that Erchen could still survive, yes, Erchen really didn't mean to bully the king." ”

Yuan Wei seemed to be sincere and frightened when he said this, but in fact, he was not without ridicule.

The ministers in the hall burst into laughter again, and Yuan Shu couldn't help laughing.

For a long time, Yuan Shu has always been inferior in the confrontation with Cao Cao, but today he finally got out of his breath.

Taifu Jin Shang laughed and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao, a traitor, has always boasted of his wisdom, but this time, he also made sure that Gongzi was tricked." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Lord Bo Yanxiang echoed, "The thief actually sent a pair of yellow intestines, and the thief's move is intended to invite the heart of the world's scholars?" But I don't know, after this matter spreads, where will the face of the thief go? Haha, I can't wait to see his wonderful expression. ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said to Yuan Wei: "No, you have made a great contribution this time, you say, how do you want me to reward you?" ”

Yuan Wei hurriedly said: "This time, the son-in-law sent Cao Ying, thanks to his father Hongfu, he was fortunate not to disgrace his life, and how dare he take credit." ”

An inopportune voice suddenly sounded: "Childe will say that he will not disgrace his mission now, I'm afraid it's too early, right?" ”

The laughter and laughter in the main hall stopped abruptly, and Yuan Lu looked back and found that the person who spoke was indeed Yang Hong, the long history.

Yang Hong glanced at Yuan Fu, and said to Yuan Shu with pity: "Your Majesty, whether Gongzi sent Cao Ying this time, although he deceived Cao Cao, a traitor, by faking his death, it is still unknown whether the plan to die will succeed, if the alliance of Cao Lusun and Liu has not collapsed, whether Gongzi has sent this envoy this time, in fact, it has failed." ”

Yuan Shu frowned when he heard this, although he felt that Yang Hong was a little disappointed, but he also had to admit that Yang Hong's words were not unreasonable, if he couldn't induce the collapse of the alliance of Cao Lusun and Liu, what was the use of deceiving Cao Cao ten thousand times? If the death plan is not successful, he Yuan Shu still can't escape from Shouchun.

Taifu Jin Shang was very dissatisfied with Yang Hong's words, and immediately knelt down and stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Changshi is worried, but it is unfounded, Gongzi's death plan is so perfect, how can Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and other puppets see through it?" If nothing else, we will see after dawn. ”

Before the words fell, a Yu Linlang hurriedly entered and knelt on the ground to report: "Your Majesty, the defenders of the East Gate have just returned, and there is an abnormal movement in Lu Bu's camp, and it seems that the camp is about to be pulled." ”

"What? Is Lu Bujun really going to pull out the camp? ”

"It seems that Childe's plan to die has worked."

"As soon as Lu Bu's army withdrew, the siege of the East Gate was lifted."

"That way, we'll be able to break through the east gate."

"There is a fertilizer and water barrier, and Cao Cao is too late to intercept it."

When the ministers in the hall heard this, they immediately looked excited, and now there is hope for escape.

Jin Shang laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister just said that he would see after dawn, but he never thought that as soon as the words fell, the matter had already been cleared. ”

Yuan Shu also said happily: "Let's go, follow me to the east gate and have a look." ”

When Yuan Shu took a cadre of Wenchen generals to the enemy tower at the east gate of Shouchun, Lu Bu's army had already packed up the grain and grass and began to pull out the camp, but I saw that the camp of the Lu Bu army was brightly lit at night, and countless auxiliary soldiers were transporting grain and grass to and fro, and teams of soldiers were lining up in a neat queue and drove out of the camp.

Outside the camp, there were cavalry with torches in charge of raiding the formation.

"Your Majesty, Gongzi's plan to die has worked, Lu Bu has really withdrawn from the siege!" Kim Shang was overjoyed.

Yang Hong retorted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this may not be true, maybe it is a trick by Cao Cao and Lu Bu to collude with Lu Bu, the purpose is to lure us out of the city, and then annihilate our army outside the city." ”

Lord Bo Yanxiang said with a smile: "Yang Changshi is too worried, Lu Bu Pifu is famous for his courage and lack of strategy, if he can use a plan, he is afraid that the sun will have to hit the west." ”

Yang Hong said: "Although Lu Bu has no strategy, Chen Gong is wise, how do you know that it is not Chen Gong's strategy?" ”

Yan Xiang said: "Yang Changshi laughed again, Chen Gong and Cao Cao have old grudges, and once strongly opposed Lu Bu to raise troops to come to the alliance, and quarreled with Lu Bu for this, and finally Lu Bu didn't even bring Chen Gong to Huainan, about this, the detailed work lurking in Xuzhou has already been reported back, Yang Changshi has forgotten it, or has he forgotten it?" ”

Yang Hong wanted to say more, but Yuan Shu was impatient, and coldly interrupted Yang Hong and said: "Okay, don't talk about Yang Changshi, if Lu Bu Xiao'er can also use tricks, won't the world be chaotic?" ”

At that moment, Yuan Shu ordered Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to lead the army out of the city first, and ordered the ministers to go home to clean up.

Yuan Shu actually knew that he was not Cao Cao's opponent for a long time, so he had long been ready to flee Shouchun, he just didn't expect that Cao Lusun and Liu's four-way coalition army would come so quickly, he just missed the palace that had just been built in Shouchun City, and the four-way coalition army had already come to the city and surrounded Shouchun.

Therefore, abandoning the city now does not require much preparation.

Yuan saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately took two steps forward and said: "Father, how can there be no vanguard when the army is opened?" Erchen implores to lead an army and act as a pioneer for his father Luanjia! ”

Yuan Wei knew very well that through the counterattack at the North Gate and the envoy Cao Ying, he had won the initial recognition of this group of civil officials and generals under Yuan Shu's account, but Yuan No would never be naïve enough to think that these civil officials and generals would support him at a critical moment Yuan No would be determined to go to Hebei with him to join Yuan Shao.

What's more, Yuan still wants to take the jade seal from Yuan Shu's hands!

Therefore, Yuan Wei must have an army in his hands, an army that is completely subordinate to him.

And now, it is undoubtedly the best time to make a request to Yuan Shu, first, he has just sent an envoy to Cao Ying, and has made a great contribution, and Yuan Shu has also expressed his intention to reward him; Second, if Yuan Shu wants to escape, he really needs someone to be the vanguard, and thirdly, Yuan Shu showed outstanding military talent in the counterattack at the North Gate, and even Ji Ling praised him.

Adding up many conditions, Yuan denied that he still had a chance to lead an army alone.

Sure enough, Yuan Shu only hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you have such a strong ambition, I am very relieved, in this way, I will hand over Yu Linwei to you to command, Yu Linwei is my own army, you must not teach me to be disappointed." ”

Yuan Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly fell to the ground and said loudly: "Erchen, never disgrace your life!" ”

Yuan Wei didn't expect that Yuan Shu would hand over Yu Linwei to him as the commander, which was really unexpected.

Yulinwei was set up in the Western Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Jianzhang camp riding, after the Yulin riding, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, placed Yulin Zhonglang general, led Yulinlang 128 people as the emperor's guard, and Yulinwei 2,000 horses, for the emperor's honor guard.

Yuan Shu usurped the throne as the emperor, and the guards of honor were all imitated by the Han system, and Yulin Zhonglang and Yulin Wei were also set up, but Yulin Zhonglang will have been vacant, and Yulin Wei was directly handed over to Yuan Shu's most trusted general, that is, Wei General Ji Ling to command, and those who followed Yuan Fu out of the north gate to counterattack during the day were actually the elites selected by Yulin Wei.

Yuan Wei actually wanted this elite, but he didn't dare to open his mouth at all.

It's just that he never expected that Yuan Shu would hand over this elite to him.

Seeing that Yuan Wei was appointed by Yuan Shu as the general of Yulin, many civil and military generals in the hall stepped forward to congratulate him, only Yang Hong, the chief historian, looked depressed, and his face was full of worry.

(Dividing Line)

Almost at the same time, Tanma also reported the news of Lü Bu's army's withdrawal to Cao Cao.

"Lu Bupifu, very hateful!" Cao Cao was so angry that he threw the military book in his hand on the ground.

The sudden withdrawal of Lü Bu's army can be said to have disrupted Cao Cao's deployment at once, and Cao Cao's intention to launch the Huainan War was to completely exterminate Yuan Shu, and use Yuan Shu's head to sing a play of killing chickens and monkeys, and give a warning to those ambitious princes, so that they dare not casually usurp the throne and become emperor.

But now as soon as Lu Bu withdraws from the siege, the east gate of Shouchun will be empty all of a sudden.

Feishui goes around the city from the southeast of Shouchun, and the south gate and the east gate of Shouchun are directly used as a moat, so in a hurry, Cao Jun wants to transfer troops to block the gap in the east gate, and it is too late in time, because if Cao Jun wants to cross Feishui, he has to erect a pontoon bridge, but there is no three or five days, how can the pontoon bridge be erected?

Xiahoudun said: "Meng De, do you want to order Sun Ce to divide his troops to plug the gap in the east gate?" ”

Sun Ce was at the south gate, and he divided his troops to plug the gap in the east gate, but he didn't need to build a bridge to cross the river.

Cao Cao sighed and said: "Yuan Rang, you think simply, the reason why Sun Ce raised troops to meet the alliance was just to come to the jade seal that Yuan Shu took away from him, and now that we have fallen into Yuan Wei'er's death plan, Sun Ce must have thought that a certain jade seal was hidden, and he didn't learn from Lu Bu to withdraw from the siege and leave, which already gave us face." ”

"What then?" Xiahou said, "I watched Yuan Shu abandon the city and leave. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "General Xiahou, in fact, with the current situation of our army, it is a good thing for Yuan Shu to run away, if Yuan Shu continues to defend Shouchun, maybe it will be a bad thing." ”

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Rang, what Mr. Fengxiao said is reasonable, you better go back first and think about how to break the city." ”

Xiahoudun said: "Breaking the city is not a problem, even if there is no siege equipment, a certain is also confident in taking the city, but the supply of military food is ......"

Cao Cao said: "Don't worry about the military rations, I have already thought of countermeasures." ”

Xiahoudun said: "Then there is no problem. ”
