Chapter 20 The Powerful Neighbor is Shocked, and the Fierce Enemy is Imminent

Ji Ling's blade Yuan Yao has already shown his heart, completely broken with Yuan Shu, and from then on, he can only serve Mink Xiong with all his heart.

A stone fell to the ground in Mink Xiong's heart, and he felt happy when he looked at the bloody human head on the ground.

He immediately ordered that Yuan Yao's head be hung on the head of Wancheng City for a day, and then spread throughout the newly returned Bowang counties.

Diao Xiong wants to use this head to win the hearts of the people of Nanyang, and at the same time deter those who have illusions about Yuan Shu and secretly have a heart of disobedience.

The order was handed down, and within a few days, Yuan Yao's head spread all over the county with the news of Yuan Shu's defeat.

For a time, the prestige of the mink rose sharply, and the people of Nanyang, who hated the Yuan father and son, all cheered and celebrated, and they were more and more in awe of the mink hero.

And those old Yuan Shu who were forced by the situation to express their submission were deeply shocked, and their hearts were not subservient, and they were gradually disintegrated by the ruthless methods of the mink hero.

Not only Nanyang, but also the feat of defeating Yuan Shu's 20,000 army with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and soon spread to all parts of the world.

……

Yanzhou.

Twenty miles east of Puyang, a cavalry army stretching for several miles, is moving slowly, a big banner with the word "Cao", flying with the wind.

In the center of the procession, a short man in a red robe was riding a horse, his black eyebrows were deep, and his eyes were shining with unfathomable color, as if he was thinking about something all the time.

This man is Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and now he is being welcomed as the pastor of Yanzhou by Chen Gong and other Yanzhou scholars, and he is about to go to Puyang to take up his post.

Cao Cao's left and right were followed by the pro-army commander Dian Wei, as well as his chief adviser Xun Yu.

During the march, Cao Cao's eyes never left the direction of Puyang, and at dusk, when the outline of Puyang City came into view, Cao Cao's face showed a smug smile of spring breeze.

"Phewβ€”"

Cao Cao reined in his mount, shook his whip to the east, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, there is Puyang ahead, who would have thought that in just one year, I, Cao Cao, would become the pastor of a state." ”

"The lord broke the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain thieves, and shocked Yanzhou, except for the lord, no one can keep the Yanzhou side safe, and the Yanzhou scholars have no choice but to welcome the lord as the state pastor. However, when the lord first got Yanzhou, the foundation was not stable, and now is not the time to relax. ”

Xun Yu stroked a few strands of sparse beard, his tone was plain, and there was a kind of mood that was invisible.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

At this moment, a scout rushed from the east.

"Report to the lord, Nanyang made an urgent report, not long ago Mink Xiong broke Yuan's technique in Wancheng, descended his general Ji Ling, killed his son Yuan Yao, and shocked Nanyang."

Cao Cao's originally high-spirited expression suddenly changed slightly, and the moment he heard this shocking news, even the face of the heroic Cao Cao flashed a trace of dazedness and surprise.

Next to him, Xun Yu, who was originally moody, quietly flashed a hint of different color in his eyes.

Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder: "If you judge in the previous article, Dong Zhuo is suspicious of this mink male, so he sent him to attack Nanyang, so that he can be eliminated by Yuan Shu's hands." Wen Ruo still speculates that this mink male will die at the hands of Yuan Shu in less than a month, and he doesn't want to break Yuan Shu now, and even his son dares to kill him. ”

Xun Yu is so resourceful, thousands of miles away, but he has already guessed Dong Zhuo's scheme.

It's a pity that he also underestimated the anomaly of Diao Xiong.

Pressed in surprise, Xun Yu couldn't help asking: "How did this Diao Xiong defeat Yuan Shu?" ”

The scout then used the information of how to use Ermine Xiong's tactics to relieve Yuan Shu's army, and then buried his troops with iron cavalry, and defeated his 20,000 army in one fell swoop.

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help nodding again and again, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that this son was born unknown, and he was both wise and brave, so that Wen Ruo can also look away, but I am afraid that he will also be a character in the future." ”

Xun Yu also secretly sighed and was surprised, but in just a moment, he regained his strategizing bearing.

"This time, Yu is indeed a mistake in judgment, but this is fine, the lord can repair the book and make a good alliance with this mink male, use him to deal with Yuan Shu, remove the threat to our south, and wait for the lord to sit firmly in Yanzhou, and then turn his face with him, and it is not too late to take Nanyang, a battleground that must be contested."

Is it good to repair the book?

Cao Cao showed a little scruple on his face, "Diao Xiong is Dong Zhuo's general, I was originally trying to fight Dong Zhuo's army, but now I am friendly with Dong Zhuo's general, is this appropriate?" ”

"How inappropriate." Xun Yu smiled faintly, "At this time and that time, now that Dong Zhuo has retreated from Guanzhong, he has no heart, and he is no longer our number one enemy." And when we formed an alliance with Yuan Benchu, we were mortal enemies with Yuan Shu, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, how could the lord not know this truth. ”

After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao's face was full of doubts, and a meaningful smile appeared on his caustic face.

……

Shinno, the county capital.

Yuan Shuku sat on the top, his face palpitated, and the martial arts below the rank were all frightened, obviously not coming out of the shadow of Wancheng's defeat.

Footsteps sounded, and Yang Hong walked into the room, his face as solemn as iron, and even a little sad.

Yuan Shu guessed that there must be some bad news, and his heart chuckled, and he immediately became nervous.

Yang Hong took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I have just arrived with the news, Ji Ling has surrendered to Mink Xiong, and Mink Xiong has ordered Ji Ling to give the eldest prince to ...... Kill"

After a while, Yang Hong's mouth finally spit out the word "kill".

In the hall, there was an instantaneous deathly silence.

Yuan Shu sat there in a daze, his eyes stunned, silent, and his whole person seemed to be frozen.

"Ji Ling, you traitor, you dare to betray me, and dare to kill my beloved son, Diao Xiong, Ji Ling, I Yuan Shu will not break your corpse into ten thousand pieces, and swear not to be a human being-"

Yuan Shu exploded in an instant, his angry eyes were about to explode, and he cursed hoarsely.

All the civil and military people in the hall also hurriedly agreed, gritting their teeth one by one, scolding Ji Ling for being disloyal and scolding Mink Xiong for being cruel.

Yuan Shu, who was extremely angry, opened the case and shouted angrily: "Come on, quickly pass on my military order, and transfer Sun Wentai's army to meet Xiangyang, this time, I have to step on that thief and avenge Yao'er." ”

Sun Jian's department is besieging Xiangyang, which is Yuan Shu's most powerful weapon.

Previously, he underestimated Diao Xiong, thinking that he could destroy it with his own strength, but at this point, he had to mobilize Sun Jian back.

Yang Hong's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "The lord is angry, Sun Wentai is now besieging Xiangyang, and he can go down in the past, if he is transferred to the north now, it will not be a waste of his previous achievements." ”

Yuan Shu glared at him, and said sharply: "Destroy Diao Xiong first, and then kill Liu Biao, I have made up my mind, who dares to persuade again, I will not be forgiven!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Hong and others knew that Yuan Shu was already angry, lost his sense of proportion, and no one dared to speak again.

Just when he was angry, the soldiers outside the hall reported that Li Yan, the grain officer, sent someone to Xinye with a letter in his hand to wait outside.

Yuan Shu called in, and the person who came was Li Yan's heart, so he enshrined Li Yan's handwritten letter.

Yuan Shu, who was not exhausted, took it apart and swept it away, and couldn't help but be furious again, waving his hand and shouting angrily: "Come on, push this guy out for me and behead it!" ”

At such an order, the messenger was shocked, and repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but was ruthlessly pulled out by the soldiers on the left and right.

Yang Hong and the others looked at Yuan Shu in horror, not knowing why Yuan Shu wanted to be so angry with Li Yan's messenger.

"I want to avenge Yao'er, it is the time to use the soldiers, Li Yan still dares to claim to be the people and ask for his life, and wants me to reduce the grain payment of the counties, delaying my use of soldiers, I really don't know the severity."

Yuan Shu threw away the letter and scolded Li Yan, but shouted: "Order the messenger's servant to go back with the head and tell Li Yan that if you don't give me all the grain and grass within the time limit, I will want his life." ”

Left and right are frightened, and dare not disobey.

Yuan Shu's anger calmed down a little, sat down, gritted his teeth and said: "Diao Xiong, this time I have Sun Wentai to help, I see how long you can struggle, Yao'er's revenge, I have to revenge!" ”

……

A few days later, Wancheng.

In the lobby of the military mansion, Diao Xiong was discussing the next military strategy with Xu Rong Jiling.

At this time, the scout made an urgent report and arched his hand: "General, there is an urgent report from the south, Yuan Shu has dispatched Sun Jian to lead the army to the north, and is mobilizing grain and grass, preparing to attack my Wancheng in the north again." ”

Sun Jian's return to the north?

Hearing the name Sun Jian, Ji Ling and Xu Rong's expressions changed slightly.

Sun Jian's bravery, who is not afraid of the princes of the world, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for Dong, no one could beat Dong Zhuo, only Sun Jian fought even better, all the way to Luoyang, forcing Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an.

Even if it was a mink male, his brows were slightly condensed, and a trace of jealousy flashed in the young man's eyes.

"In the original history, Sun Jian should have died at the hands of Huang Zu at this time, but I didn't expect my intervention to invisibly change history, but it saved Sun Jian's life and added a powerful opponent, this Sun Jian is not as easy to deal with as Yuan Shu......"

Diao Xiong fell into deep thought, the smart chip was turned on, calculating all the favorable conditions of the time and place, and pondering the countermeasures.

Just when there was no time, Ji Ling's eyes moved, and he arched his hand and said: "General, the last general has a plan, or it can make Yuan Shu's army collapse without a fight, even if Sun Jian is transferred back, it will be useless." ”
