The Yuan family of the fourth and third princes is really not covered. As long as they show their "domineering spirit" a little, those officers who have won or failed in the Northern Army will be very happy to take refuge in Captain Yuan. Ji Ling and Zhang Xun were the two of them who caught up with Yuan Shu, the lord, and Qiao Rui was Yuan's former official, who followed Yuan Shu a few years ago and waited to use it.

With the southern and northern wars of Huangfu Song's army, Yuan Shu only stayed by Huangfu Song's side as a bystander in every battle, but he was also able to share the exploits of many powerful subordinates. It is certain that when the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army was completely suppressed, Yuan Shu, who returned to the imperial court, would inevitably be able to rise again.

However, even in the military camp, Yuan Shu still couldn't get rid of the shadow of Yuan Shao's half-brother.

This shadow came from Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry.

As one of Yuan Shao's spokesmen in the army of Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, a short man who was born as a descendant of eunuchs, has the strength in his hands and is still above Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui, who has reached "more than 2,000 stones"! Moreover, because of his mastery of the art of war and his bravery in battle, Cao Cao was quite valued in front of Huangfu Song. In terms of his status in the army alone, after Cao Cao, a eunuch, he was able to be slightly higher than the famous son Yuan Shu.

Such a fact made the thorn in Yuan Shu's heart pierce his heart more and more.

A few days earlier, Huangfu Song, who was the commander-in-chief, had received a letterhead from Tao Qian, asking the Han army to send a main force to support him in order to annihilate a moth thief who was said to be extremely powerful. Huangfu Song, who focused his attention on Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, ignored Tao Qian's request for help at the suggestion of Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry. In order to meet Tao Qian's request, Huangfu Song only planned to send a cavalry team to help Tao Qian and annihilate the unknown moth thief.

As for the main force of the Han army commanded by Huangfu Song, the next step will be to point to the tens of thousands of Guanhai troops who occupy Gucheng County. Moreover, it is said that Guan Hai has an elite army under him, known as the "Tianping Army", which has extremely strong combat effectiveness. This news of exchanging human lives made Huangfu Song extremely cautious, and naturally he would not send the elite cavalry of the brigade to the north to pursue a certain nameless rogue.

It is also wonderful to say that it is precisely because the generals of the Han Army listened to the words of Captain Bao Xin and attached great importance to the Tianping Army that the Tianping Army escaped this catastrophe by mistake. Of course, you can't be too strict with Huangfu Song and others because of this. After all, they are not immortals after all, and they can calculate the actions of the Tianping Army out of thin air.

When Yuan Shu, the son of the family, heard the news of Tao Qian's request for reinforcements, he was in a dull state in the humble military camp. In the grand battle in which tens of thousands of troops participated, Yuan Shu, despite his extraordinary skills, did not have the courage to rush to the front line. But if it was a small-scale battle, Yuan Shu was confident that with the many fierce generals of his subordinates, he could easily kill those moth thieves who were not used to the battle formation.

In this way, after hearing the news, Yuan Shu took the initiative to ask Huangfu Song for help, wanting to go north to support Tao Qian, who had a one-sided relationship. Regarding the request of Yuan's sister-in-law, which has nothing to do with the overall situation, Huangfu Song happily agreed.

After all, Yuan Shu staying by Huangfu Song's side is completely dispensable for Huangfu Song, no, there should be no better burden. To be able to transfer the pampered children of a wealthy family like Yuan Shu out of the army, if nothing else, it will be much easier for Huangfu Song to appease the low-level sergeants.

You must know that with Yuan Shu's typical style of the children of the family, it can basically be said that he treats his soldiers as grass mustard on the soles of his feet, and he will be beaten if he wants to, and punished if he wants to. Since leaving Beijing, there have been no less than 20 soldiers who have been punished or even beheaded by Yuan Shu for minor mistakes.

So, when Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui, took his elite personal guard cavalry team, which was no more than 100 people in size but had three or four "thousand-man breaking" fierce generals, to support the volunteer team commanded by Tao Qian, the morale of the Changshui battalion originally led by him immediately rose a little. There are even many soldiers who secretly curse this Yuan sister-in-law, and it is best to never go back.

Then, Yuan Shu, who was proud of his wisdom and martial arts, and his subordinates were brave and brave, did not take the thousands of moths and thieves to heart. After meeting with Tao Qian, Yuan Shu became curious about the enemy described by Tao Qian, so he drove all the way unscrupulously, and then there was the scene of "Wang meeting the king" with arrogance.

After experiencing a short, fierce and dangerous conflict, in Yuan Shu's heart, he didn't know whether he was complaining or rejoicing.

Tao Qian didn't know the strength of the Tianping Army, but Yuan Shu, as one of the core generals of the Han Army, naturally knew the importance of the Tianping Army.

Originally, he didn't believe too much in the information that Captain Bao Xin, who was the commander of the Yanzhou Prefecture Division, had sent a few days ago. But the act of visiting the enemy just now made Yuan Shu completely sure that this Yellow Turban Army that suddenly appeared was really strong, which was a bit exaggerated.

-- A military general who came out casually was actually at the level of "a thousand people broken". Speaking of which, the rumors that the Tianping Army has a "10,000 enemies" may not be groundless?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu couldn't think of a certain possibility, and only felt a chill in his neck.

-- If it was the legendary "10,000 enemies" who shot just now, then his own life would ......

With such a thought, Yuan Shu was very glad that his recklessness this time did not cause any serious losses. As for the retinue that died?

I'm sorry, how can an incompetent person be remembered by the dignified Yuan family's sister-in-law?

In this way, the group quickly whipped up their horses and ran south along the avenue for more than twenty miles, and came to a medium-sized dock fort. On the head of this dock fort, a large flag marking the Changshui camp of the Han army was planted, indicating that this place had been requisitioned by officers and soldiers. Zhang Xun stepped forward and opened the gate of Wubao, and a group of people surrounded Yuan Shu and returned to his temporary stronghold.

You can use the dock forts along the way as your own forward camp. With such a huge face, even Huangfu Song, the chief general of the Han army, could not do it. On the contrary, in view of the military discipline of the Han army, as long as the owner of the dock fort had a little prestige, he would refuse the entry of the Han army.

However, what the Han army commander could not do was a piece of cake for the Runan Yuan family, who was known as the "Fourth World and Three Dukes".

Under the shroud of the network of protégés and former officials of the Yuan clan all over the world, as long as he is in a few states and counties in the eastern part of the Kanto, Yuan Shu can easily knock on the door of any Haoqiang Wu Fort. At this point, even in the Han court, the Hongnong Yang family, which was on a par with the Yuan clan in Runan, could only be out of reach. Of course, if the location is changed to the prefecture and county of Kansai, it will be the turn of the Hongnong Yang clan.

In the dock fort, the original owner has already greeted him attentively. When Yuan Shu had dealt with the greetings of the master of the dock fort with good manners, he sat crookedly in the room that originally belonged to the master's residence, and began to complain to Tao Qian, who was crooked opposite:

"Ahh It's a dangerous day, and I almost can't come back! ”

Since Tao Qian will be secretly called "old naughty boy", there is a big reason that he usually disregards etiquette and posture, and sits when he wants to sit and lie down when he wants. At this moment, Tao Qian was half-lying on the bed to rest, seeing Yuan Shu's impolite behavior, he was not angry at all, but asked with interest:

"How? You kid know how awesome, right? ”

Because Tao Qian usually does not have formal etiquette, although Yuan Shu originally did not have much contact with him, the two of them quickly became familiar with him. Yuan Shuping withdrew from the other attendants, poured a glass of wine from the table on the bed, took a sip, and said:

"It's light, and it's a little sour. Forget this kind of country place, there is this kind of thing, it's good......

By the way, Brother Gongzu, how did you know that this moth thief is powerful and extraordinary? Is it just because they don't mess around in the camp? ”

Tao Qian pulled out a piece of hay out of nowhere, chewed it slowly in his mouth, smiled hesitantly, and replied:

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, you should have heard of this person, right?"

"Is that the volunteer who broke his own army?"

In Yuan Shu's eyes, Liu Bei, who was born poor, even if he claimed to be a member of the Han family, was not worthy of his attention. What the Yuan family needs is a hero who can be willing to go to the soup for the benefit of the Yuan family. It's not those so-called loyal people who always want to maintain the existence of the Han family.

――But all the people surnamed Liu are not the objects that the Yuan family needs to recruit!

"Liu Bei's bravery has been fully demonstrated when he broke through Bu Ji's army. With more than 400 volunteers, he was able to completely defeat the Bu Ji army, which numbered nearly 1,000 people, within a quarter of an hour. Even the Huangfu Zhonglang General also admitted that the first merit of this battle belonged to this Liu Xuande. ”

"So what? Compared with Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, this Liu Bei is still far behind! ”

Yuan Shu grabbed a slice of cooked mutton, put it in his mouth, and said a little vaguely while chewing. From his point of view, no matter how high Liu Bei's force is, compared to Sun Jian's "10,000 enemies", it is obviously a big difference.

"This lamb is tender enough, it must be a lamb within three months......"

Tao Qian frowned at Yuan Shu, sat up suddenly, slapped a few cases, and shouted:

"The warrior that I value Tao Qian, you are so understated, don't you do it? Yuan Highway, do you want to be scolded? ”

Yuan Shu unexpectedly Tao Qian suddenly became angry and was startled a little. However, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he puffed out his eyes, glared at Tao Qian and said:

"How? Do you want me to summon this Liu Bei to the account? ”

The subtext of this sentence is "If you meet this Liu Bei, see how I clean him up!" ”

These two people were blowing their beards and glaring at the moment, as if they were about to turn their faces. However, after looking at each other for a moment, the two of them suddenly laughed at the same time.
