The more Liu Bi was afraid of death, the more Yuan Xu felt that this person could not be reused.

Without saying anything more, he turned and walked away.

"Childe!" Holding on to the fence, Liu Pi shouted to Yuan Xu: "Spare the end of the general, and it will not be lost!" ”

"This person is so afraid of death that he can gather thousands of soldiers and horses, I really can't figure it out." Leaving the cell, Zhao Yi said: "No wonder Cao Cao refuses to reuse!" ”

"Cui Gong's suggestion to contact Liu Pi is nothing more than the annexation of his soldiers and horses." Yuan Xu said: "This person is from the Yellow Turban, and it is not incomprehensible that he is timid and afraid of death. ”

Zhao Yi smiled contemptuously.

Yuan Xu rescued Liu Pi, but imprisoned him.

The news of Zhang He's defeat has also reached Yecheng.

The back house of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao sat in the room, his face pale.

Judging and Feng Ji stood in front of him, and the two of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.

"Before sending troops, Jun Yi said that Xu Du must not be an empty city, and this battle will definitely wipe out the whole army." Gazing at Feng Ji, Yuan Shao said: "Three thousand soldiers have come to naught, and the Yuan Diagram is really a good plan!" ”

"Yuan Gong!" Yuan Shao was guilty, and Feng Ji hurriedly said: "I heard that the Cao army out of the city only had 600 horsemen, and there were nearly 3,000 soldiers under Zhang He. The disparity in strength between the two armies made the defeat a strange one. ”

Yuan Shao asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"If it is a strong attack, the enemy army defending the city will resist, and it is understandable that Zhang He will not be able to break it." Feng Ji said: "The army was defeated but outside the city, the number of enemy troops was not as good as our army, and it was still a crushing army, Yuan Gong didn't feel that there was fraud in it?" ”

Yuan Shao also felt that Zhang He's defeat was strange, and after being reminded by Fengji, he seemed to understand something.

"The metagraph is to say ......"

"Zhang He has long been rebellious." Feng Ji said: "It is said that the Cao army went out of the city and did not take advantage of the night to raid, he led the army to meet the attack, and nearly 3,000 soldiers were not the opponent of the 600 cavalry of the Cao army. He could have escaped with his whole body, but was captured by Cao's army. Yuan Gong didn't feel that this matter meant a long time? ”

I was already skeptical. When Feng Ji said this, Yuan Shao felt that Zhang He's defeat was even more eccentric.

"What does Yuantu think this matter should be handled?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Zhang He is plotting rebellion, and he will soon join Cao Cao." Feng Ji said: "Yuan Gong can punish his family, so that no one will follow suit in the future!" ”

Looking at the trial, Yuan Shao asked, "Zhengnan used to hold the law, what should happen to this matter?" ”

"Seconded!"

I owe the favor of the discipline. When Zhang He set out on the expedition, the trial was not stopped.

Zhang He was defeated, and he was also involved in the investigation.

Feng Ji deliberately planted the blame on Zhang He's head, and of course he could only cooperate.

"Immediately arrest Zhang He's family and ask him for guilt." Feng Ji and the trial had the same opinions, and Yuan Shao no longer hesitated to give an order to the guards outside the door.

The Yecheng Supervisor is none other than Meng Da.

got the order, he didn't delay at all, and led people to Zhang He's house.

The door of Zhang He's house was closed, and when he reached the door, two Yuan soldiers rushed forward and kicked the door with their feet.

The vermilion gate shook violently but did not open.

Failed to kick the door open. Two more Yuan soldiers stepped forward to help.

The four of them kicked several times in a row, and there was a cracking sound from the deadbolt, and the door was slammed open.

Rushing into the front yard, Meng Da shouted: "Search! Don't leave any of them, search them all! ”

Yuan Jun scattered and ran away, and at this moment, the attic in the backyard burst into flames.

Billowing smoke rose up, and a person in the attic shouted: "The general has been framed by thieves, and we can only die to prove our innocence!" ”

"Fight the fire!" Watch the flames burst forth. Meng Da hurriedly ordered.

Yuan Jun, who entered Zhang He's house, stepped forward one after another, and all the buckets and pans were used. Fight to put out the flames.

The attic was poured with oil, and the flames were blazing, and it didn't take long for the whole building to burst into flames.

Yuan Jun tried his best to put it out, but the flames burned more and more.

In order to put out the fire, two Yuan soldiers were even scalded by the scorching air waves.

Unable to extinguish the fire, Meng Da could only watch as the attic was wrapped in flames.

"Quickly present to Yuan Gong!" He commanded one of the soldiers.

It was learned that Zhang He's family had self-immolated. Yuan Shao hurried over.

Looking at the attic surrounded by flames, he said for a while: "Wait until the fire is extinguished, find the body and bury it!" ”

A private house in the city.

Yuan Kang sat on the top, and in front of him stood two swordsmen wearing long swords.

"It's too late for the news to come back." Yuan Kang said: "It is indeed appropriate for you to do things like this! ”

"It's a lot of money, too." One of the swordsmen said, "Buy a lot of corpses." Childe delivered little copper money left. ”

"When do you care about copper coins?" Yuan Kang said: "If it's not enough, just ask for it!" ”

The two swordsmen said goodbye and left, and Yuan Kang walked to the window.

Looking at the billowing smoke rising two blocks away, he didn't have the slightest expression.

After receiving a letter from Yuan Xu, he asked his family to be moved out of the city, and set a fire to Zhang He's house.

rescued Tian Feng and Zhang He's family, he was tied to Yuan Xu in one place!

The flames were extinguished, and Zhang He's residence burned to the ground.

In the charred rubble, Yuan Jun found only a hazy charred corpse.

"Tian Yuanhao is like this, and so is Zhang Junyi." After going to Zhang He's residence, Yuan Shao said with annoyance: "The two families are like this, wouldn't it break Hebei's face if they spread it?" ”

Feng Ji said: "Tian Yuanhao confronted Yuan Gong, and even spoke ill of each other, his heart can be punished; Zhang Jun's army defeated Xu Du, and he was suspected of colluding with Cao Cao. It is reasonable for Yuan Gong to order the killing of his family. That's it, don't think about it! ”

"Zhang Junyi defeated Xu Du, but there was no collusion with Cao Cao." Yuan Shao said: "This time I acted too hastily! ”

Yuan Shao had remorse, and Feng Ji didn't dare to say more.

Although the trial has something to say, because he owes the favor of Feng Ji, he can't say the words when he comes to his mouth.

A fire broke out in Zhang He's home, and the news that only 100 corpses had been found reached Xu Du.

Xu Du is imprisoned.

Dressed in prison clothes, Zhang He's hair was fluffy and his face looked tired.

He was held here for some time.

Cao Cao did not return to Xudu, and the city was still guarded by Cao Chun.

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and Cao Chun led two soldiers to the outside of Zhang He's cell.

"Brother Junyi!" Arching his hand towards Zhang He, Cao Chun said: "I came here to visit, but I have something to tell!" ”

Glancing at Cao Chun, Zhang He said: "A certain soldier was defeated and captured and only begged for death, did the general come to ridicule him?" ”

Cao Chun said: "Brother Jun is a fierce general in Hebei, who is noble and brave. It's a pity that Yuan Shao treats you, but he is not affectionate and righteous! ”

Cao Chun mentioned Yuan Shao, Zhang He frowned and asked, "What does the general mean?" ”

"News came from Hebei that Brother Jun defeated Xu Du, and Yuan Shao was furious and ordered to kill the whole family."

"Yuan Gong will definitely not be like this!"

Although Zhang He didn't believe it, he still got up and came to the prison door, grabbed the prison fence and glared at Cao Chun.

"I don't believe it." Cao Chun said: "After some time, Duke Cao will return to Xudu, and you will be released, and someone should have informed you about the matter in Hebei!" ”

Without further explanation, Cao Chun turned and left. (To be continued.) )
