Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, happy and worried. The www.biquge.info joy of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is that, as Han Fu said, Xu Yu set out from Guangling, although it was still hundreds of miles away from Pingyu, it had an immeasurable impact on the entire battle situation, and the army not only had no worries and fears, but its morale was greatly boosted. According to Yuan Kui's letter, the people in Pingyu City are now stable, and everyone is gearing up, just waiting for Xu Yu to go to the city, and then break the imperial camp of the Son of Heaven with him, regroup, and drive the imperial army out of Runan. Therefore, Yuan Kui said to Yuan Shao that he must not give up at this time, no matter how difficult it is, he must hold on for a few more days. Yuan Shao did not move, Liu Xiu did not dare to act rashly, and after he defeated the imperial camp of the Son of Heaven, he would wave his army to the north, and together with Yuan Shao, he would flank Liu Xiu and completely open up Yanzhou.

The situation suddenly turned out to be very good, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but be unhappy.

Unfortunately, there is also bad news, the trial match in Heze, because of a sudden rainstorm and escaped death, but now he is sick, with a high fever and confusion. At present, the front army is presided over by Wen Chou, and Wen Chou does not dare to be self-dictatorated, so he asks Yuan Shao to immediately arrange for someone to take over.

Yuan Shao relied on the trial, but he didn't like the trial very much, because the temper of the trial was too hard, and the power in his hands was too big, which always made Yuan Shao a little jealous, and he was always a little careful when he used it. This time, he was forced by Liu Xiu to have no way out, so he had to use the trial match as the front army, and the trial match lived up to expectations, all the way like a bamboo, and he was about to lead the army to jump out of Cao Cāo's encirclement, but at this time he fell ill, which really made Yuan Shao a little nervous.

People's psychology is always very strange, when the trial is alive and well, Yuan Shao is on guard against him, and now that the trial is sick, Yuan Shao remembers his good again. Not to mention anything else, as far as the current situation is whether to retreat or advance, Yuan Shao is uncertain, he really hopes to judge and help him get an idea. But if it was in front of him before, Yuan Shao would not have such a thought.

Forward or backward. Guo Tu and others have the same opinion, that is, to resolutely seize this opportunity and really fight Liu Xiu once, instead of returning to Jizhou like this. Otherwise, it will be safe to return to Jizhou. Yuan Shao's prestige has been greatly reduced, and it is difficult to control Jizhou stably, and there will be no such good opportunities in the future.

Guo Tu and the others were enthusiastic, and Yuan Shao was also moved. Judging from the current situation, the two sides are staggered, and he has a slight upper hand in terms of total strength, and he has the strength to fight a war. But he was a little nervous when he was excited. Raised the army for many years. He had never competed with Liu Xiu before, but Liu Xiu's indirect influence on the battlefield was everywhere. In the fourth year of Guanghe, when the Yuan family had just started its army, Liu Xiu was still on vacation on the grassland, and the Yuan family raised its banner, and the Kanto region responded, occupying half of the country almost in a short period of time, just waiting to enter Luoyang. But then Liu Xiu wrote a few letters. Their good situation collapsed, and since then they have been mired in a five-year tug-of-war, and have not been able to make substantial progress.

Right now. Liu Xiu personally rushed to the battlefield, and the surprise troops came out one after another, pacifying Jiangnan in one fell swoop, and then quickly rushed to the city of Pingyu. He thought that this was a good opportunity, and he came all the way from Jizhou, and the momentum was not fierce, but he was defused by Liu Xiu's understatement of a few false tricks, and wasted the precious fighter plane in Weishui in vain. It's like a warrior who has gathered enough strength and is bent on knocking out his opponent and encounters an extremely cunning opponent, who has no strength but nowhere to go. On the contrary, he suffered a few unknown losses, although he did not hurt his muscles and bones, but the indomitable momentum has been weakened unconsciously.

Yuan Shao was very worried that this was another trap for Liu Xiu, and with his understanding of Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu should not leave such a big flaw. What distressed him was that he couldn't think of what Liu Xiu's trap might be.

Because I don't know. So nervous, if Liu Xiu really arranged an army of 180,000 to wait for him, maybe Yuan Shao's pressure would be less.

What if it's really a trap? That would be a catastrophe. Retreat, what if Liu Xiu really thinks about it? He will lose one of his best opportunities.

Yuan Shao was anxious, and at this time, he received the news that he was sick, which made him even more upset and added an ominous premonition.

"Lord, there is an urgent report." Guo Tu walked in quickly, nervous and sweaty. When Yuan Shao saw it, his brows tightened, and his heart involuntarily raised. Guo Tu is in charge of confidential matters, and it is rare that there is such a gaffe, could it be that he heard Liu Xiu's real conspiracy?

"What's the news?" Yuan Shao greeted him and blurted out.

"Yecheng Urgent." Guo Tu handed a secret report to Yuan Shao, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

"Yecheng?" Yuan Shao was taken aback. Yecheng is where his foundation is, and the families of all his important generals are in Yecheng, once there is a loss, it will be a big deal. He hurriedly took it over, and scolded while dismantling: "Xian Si what's going on, you can't do such a small thing...... " When he quickly finished reading the emergency report, he was stunned for a moment: "Yingzi? Who is Yingzi? ”

Guo Tu hurriedly said: "Lord, do you remember the little girl beside Liu Xiu at that time?" ”

Yuan Shao thought about it and shook his head blankly. How did he know what little girl Liu Xiu was by, he didn't pay much attention to Liu Xiu at that time.

Guo Tu scratched his head, thought about it, and said, "Lord, do you know why Liu Xiu is so good friends with Tang Zhen?" ”

"It's no secret that he's good friends with Eunuch, so what's the matter?" Yuan Shao said a little unhappily: "Hurry up and get down to business." ”

"My lord, this Tang Yingzi is Tang Zhen's daughter. It is said that she disappeared when she was very young, and somehow, she later became a saint of Taiping Road. When Liu Xiu arrived in Luoyang, this little girl also ran out of Taiping Road and followed Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was very fond of him, and often took her to the palace, so he became a playmate with the emperor's eldest son. ”

"The Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao?" Yuan Shao suddenly realized: "No wonder Liu Xiu and Taiping Dao are so close, it turns out that there is such a relationship in it." ”

"Exactly." Guo Tu nodded, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Lord, do you remember how Zhang Jiao had an accident in Runan?" ”

"This is also related to this Don...... Tang Yingzi related? ”

"Relevant." Guo Tu said with a smile: "Later, this Tang Yingzi suddenly disappeared, Liu Xiu thought it was Zhang Jiao's ghost, so he turned his face with Taiping Dao and sued Zhang Jiao in front of the first emperor. In order to show his loyalty, Zhang Jiao attacked the Runan clan with insufficient preparation, forcing Wu Qiong and others to rebel, and Yuan Gong seized the opportunity to lead the situation in Runan in a direction favorable to us. After Zhang Jiao lost his hand in Runan, he rebelled in anger, and the world was almost out of control. Lord, if it weren't for this little girl, I'm afraid I would have to wait a few years before I had a chance. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned, and laughed after a while: "There are so many twists and turns here, it's the first time I've heard of it." Justice, you are worthy of being a confidential military scheme, and there is nothing in the world that you don't know. ”

"The lord has won awards, which is also an occasional experience, so it is not surprising." Guo Tu was happy in his heart, said a few words modestly, and quickly put away his smile again, and said worriedly: "Lord, this Tang Yingzi is Liu Xiu's cronies, she suddenly appeared in Yecheng, I am afraid that the person who will come will not be good." She is a person in the Daomen, with skills that are difficult for ordinary people to match, high and high, and it is difficult to guard against. In case the eldest son of the emperor is kidnapped by her, or simply killed, this is ...... But that's not right. ”

Yuan Shao's face sank, his eyes rolled twice, and he didn't speak, but he couldn't hide his worry. The eldest son of the emperor took a lot of effort to get out of the palace, and he has been hiding in Yecheng, just opposite his chariot general's mansion, sending heavy troops to guard it, not allowing him to come into contact with any outsiders, just to find a strange thing to live in, and it will come in handy at a critical time. He had always had the upper hand before, thinking that he could easily defeat Liu Xiu, and he didn't regard Liu Xuan as the only means. Two days ago, when he didn't get the good news from Xu You, he had already thought of using Liu Bian as a last resort, and at this time, when he heard that Liu Xiu's cronies went to Yecheng and saw Liu Bian, the shock in his heart can be imagined.

Thinking of the rumor that Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, might be Liu Xiu's bloodline, and then thinking of Liu Xiu's always dangerous style, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneer: "This is a little strange, how did he know that the emperor's eldest son was in Yecheng?" ”

Guo Tu groaned: "Liu Xiu's subordinates are said to also have a secret spy, who is responsible for investigating all kinds of news, but this matter is very confidential, and the people who know it are very limited, and only those secret spies can't get close to that courtyard at all, how could Liu Xiu know about this?" Unless ......"

"Unless someone leaks it." Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, angry: "Could it be that who is the family?" ”

Guo Tu frowned and was silent. In order to keep it secret, He Jin's family is not in Yecheng, most of them are in Nanyang's hometown, only He Gui is in Yecheng, and she and Liu will meet each other in a few months. Could it be that the He family was desperate and didn't want to hold on to the hope of relying on the strength of the Yuan family to ascend the throne, so they simply asked Liu Xiu for help?

However, at present, Yuan Shao's victory is undecided, Liu Yan's role has not completely disappeared, and it is not yet time to turn his face with the He family. It was Guo Tu who set up this plan in the first place, and he didn't want to lose this opportunity in vain. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "Brother and sister He Jin don't have such great courage, especially He Guiren, she is just a woman, she only has her son in her eyes, the eldest son of the emperor is in our hands, how dare she risk the life of the eldest son of the emperor?" In my opinion, someone else leaked the news. ”

Yuan Shao sharply asked, "Who else can there be?" ”

Guo Tu said carefully: "If you think about it carefully, you are naturally the one who can profit from it after leaking secrets. ”

Yuan Shao realized, the evil qi flashed from his eyes, his breath became heavy, his nose opened twice, and his voice became cold and bone-chilling: "Gongzhi, this matter is too big to speculate randomly." You immediately send someone back to Yecheng to investigate and see who is so bold as to dare to make such a small move while I am not in Yecheng. ”

Guo Tu hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, turned around and was about to leave, but Yuan Shao stopped him again. "Remember, I want solid evidence, and I can't afford to make a mistake, or I will regret it."

Guo Tu was startled, and a cold sweat poured out from his back. rq
