"Why don't you dare?" Wen Chou shouted loudly: "You have lost the camp, and now you slander the general as a collaborator with the enemy, which is very hateful!" It would be a big mistake if the two self-owned family members did not take the general seriously! After that, he personally took a few steps forward and turned out a few rolls of silk on the bookcase, and said loudly: "All Pound's letters are here, please look at them!" Ben will report the causes and consequences of retreating to the ancient city to the lord in detail, you two can do it yourself! ”

The two were not afraid of ugliness at all, and began to consult Pound's letter with a cold snort. At a glance, the two quickly discovered the suspicious points in Pound's letters, first of all, each letter has a payment date, the previous letters are some greetings and polite words, not a word about the war, but the last letter has to make people have to doubt, it turns out that the handwriting of this letter is the same as the previous ones, and there are too many smears, two-thirds of the entire letter has been erased, and the remaining little content is also extremely sensitive.

Yuan Xi was immediately ecstatic and said loudly: "Dare to ask General Wen, why has this letter been altered so much?" General Mo Feiwen deliberately covered up the evidence? ”

Wen Chou said angrily: "The letter is like this, what will happen to Guan Ben?" ”

Gao Gan said: "General Wen, are you waiting for me to be a three-year-old child?" That's unreasonable, isn't it? Pound's first few letters were so neat, why was the last one so sloppy? Besides, the handover of prisoners of war is an inconsequential matter, but General Wen personally led the army out of the horse, and the camp was attacked at this time, if this is a coincidence, the two of us are absolutely unbelievable, but it seems that someone deliberately arranged it, the purpose is to use Pound's hand to get rid of the two of us, so that he can monopolize the power! ”

Wen Scandal was extremely annoyed, and stretched out his hand, "Choke!" With a sound, he pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "I respect you two are the family members of the lord and have repeatedly tolerated it, but the two of you have repeatedly slandered the general, do you think that the general's sword is not good!" ”

The two of them know the courage of Wen Chou, and after all, Wen Chou is the main general, and they don't have the courage to fight Wen Chou. The two glanced at each other, and Yuan Xi said: "General Wen is angry, the truth of right and wrong has its own revelation, and the most important thing at the moment is to prevent Pang De and ensure that Yuzhou is foolproof!" As for this matter, I will report it to my father truthfully, and General Ruwen has no shame in his heart, so I don't have to worry about his father's blame! ”

Wen Chou saw that the two of them said soft words, and immediately withdrew his sword, and said: "The eldest husband acts but seeks to be worthy of his heart, he will be loyal to the lord, and the moon can be learned, although the two of them report to the lord!" But the general will also report the loss of the camp to the lord truthfully! Who is right and who is wrong, the lord has his own decision! ”

The two glanced at each other, and did not argue with Wen Chou at the moment, put away the letter and retired. went back and discussed carefully for a while, the two knew that Yuan Shao attached great importance to Wen Chou, and it was difficult for the two of them and a vague letter to seize the military power of Wen Chou, and if they wanted to control this army, the only way to do it was to pull the prison army Xu You into the water to have a chance to succeed.

Gao Gandao: "Xu Yu is greedy for money and profits, and he has always been at odds with Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others, if the second son comes forward, first move his heart with treasure, and then promise heavy profits, this person will definitely take refuge in the second son, such a big thing can be done!" ”

Yuan Xi hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "It has to be like this now, but Xu You has been cooperating with Wen Chou for a long time, but I am afraid that he will not cooperate with the two of us!" ”

Gao Gan said confidently: "Xu You is not a good thing, this time he sent troops to withhold military rations and accept bribes, which has long been mastered by my brother." If he dares to ignore the lift, he will be the first to be unlucky! ”

Yuan Xi was overjoyed, the two discussed for a long time, and finally joined forces in Xu Yu's big tent, when one pretended to be black-faced and the other pretended to be red-faced, coercion and temptation, and two-pronged. Xu You was greedy for money, and he had a handle in the hands of senior cadres, which caused him to compromise, and Wen Chou was honest and meticulous, he couldn't get much oil and water with Wen Chou, if the two of them succeeded, he could make a profit from it.

With Xu You's help, it was easy to do, and the three of them sent people overnight to report Pang De's letter and various "suspicious" aspects of Wen Chou's to Yuan Shao, who was in charge of Shouchun. At the same time, Wen Chou also reported to Yuan Shao that the two were under unfavorable command, resulting in an attack on the camp and heavy losses, and asked Yuan Shao to punish the two.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but be in a dilemma, on the one hand, he was his confidant, on the other hand, he was his son and nephew, and what both parties said made sense, and it was difficult to make a decision in his heart. But the letters submitted by Yuan Xi and others were indeed very problematic, which made people inevitably suspicious, and Wen Chou's repeated defeats also made Yuan Shao dissatisfied.

In the end, under the advice of his confidant Feng Ji, Yuan Shao adopted an attitude of preferring to believe that he had something to believe rather than to believe it, and transferred Wen Chou to Yanzhou to assist Lu Yi on the grounds that the war in Yanzhou was tight, Chun Yuqiong was transferred to the ancient city to replace Wen Chou as the main general, and Yuan Xi and Gao Gan were only deducted from this year's salary.

However, it is said that Ma Chao stayed in Gaoyang for more than ten days, and did not return triumphantly until Tian Hukang's Hun cavalry returned in vain. During this period, Ma Chao also negotiated a lot of important things with Liu Yu, first of all, he drove away Gongsun Zhan, and obtained Liu Yu's strong support, and Youzhou's grain, grass, salt, refined iron and other materials flowed into Jizhou and Qingzhou in large quantities, which was extremely beneficial to the civilians in the affected places to survive the disaster year.

Secondly, Ma Chao planted his own forces in Youzhou, and sent Du Xi, Qin Yi and Tian Hukang to garrison the junction of Bingzhou and Youzhou, first, to deter Wuheng in the north, and second, to recruit troops and horses to expand the army, in preparation for the pacification of the Northeast Great Plain and the Korean Peninsula in the future. In the end, in order to win over Liu Yu, Ma Chao was made a matchmaker by Zhao Yun and married Liu Ying, the daughter of Liu Yu, as a concubine. Liu Yu was the same generation as Emperor Ling Liu Hong, and he knew that the situation was difficult to reverse, and his only son Liu He was under the control of Ma Chao, so he had to nod and agree.

Ma Chao was overjoyed, not to mention Liu Ying's appearance, as long as there was such a relationship, Liu Yu would be completely on his thief ship. In order to ensure the stability of the situation in Youzhou, Ma Chao also specially reminded Liu Yu to pay more attention to the Taishou Gongsun degree in Liaodong, and to take military measures if necessary, and never let it become bigger.

Gongsun Du is from a local family in Liaodong and has a deep foundation in Liaodong County, but this person has always obeyed Liu Yu, and his troops are far inferior to Gongsun Zhan, so Liu Yu did not take this person to heart. But Ma Chao knew the energy of this person, and in history, the Gongsun Du family had been separating Liaodong and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, until the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty before it collapsed.

At the moment, the two set a date for marriage, but after the extermination of the Yuan Shao group, Ma Chao stayed in Gaoyang to be responsible for recruiting troops and buying horses, and he cooperated with Zhao Yun to lead the heavy armored cavalry back to Wuchao to preside over the overall situation.

Yanzhou was relatively calm in this month, Cao **'s strength rose sharply after unexpectedly getting Gongsun Zhan, and more than 7,000 elite cavalry was undoubtedly a big cake for the southern princes who lacked war horses. And Gongsun Chan also had lingering fears about Ma Chao's heavy cavalry, and immediately told Cao ** about the Gaoyang War, and asked Cao ** to support the armor and grain and grass.

Although Cao ** recovered most of Yanzhou with the help of Yuan Shao's strength, because Yanzhou was seriously affected and Lu Bu had not yet fallen, he really gained little benefit, but many Yanzhou families took the opportunity to take refuge in Yuan Shao's big tree. And Gongsun Zhan, like Liu Bei, is a guest general who temporarily takes refuge in Cao **, so it is impossible for Cao ** to use his limited resources on Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei.

After several unsuccessful requests, Gongsun Zhan was upset, so he invited Liu Bei's brothers over to the banquet. During the banquet, Gongsun Chan sighed: "Since the Yellow Turban, the world has been in turmoil, and now the Han court is controlled by Ma Chao's thieves, and you and I have suffered Ma Chao's big losses!" At present, although Yuan Shao has the strength to compete with Ma Chao, in my opinion, Yuan Shao's chance of winning is very small! I don't know if Xuande has a plan in mind? ”

Liu Bei has been eating under Cao ** since the defeat of Xiaopei, but Cao ** is wary of Liu Bei everywhere, but he is extremely polite to Guan Yu, and often feasts Guan Yu without saying anything, and also gives gold and silver beauties. Although Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu would not leave him, he was inevitably unhappy in his heart, and sighed when he heard this: "What Brother Bo said is exactly what I want, Ma Chaohu is located north of the Yellow River, and it is also related to the land of Zhonghe Xiliang, which has been in operation for several years in Jizhou and Jizhou, and now he has Youzhou, and his strength has risen greatly!" Although Yuan Shao also has a lot of soldiers and enough food, most of them are rabble, and the princes under his command have different intentions, so it is difficult to confront Ma Chao for a long time! It is only an expedient measure for us to wait under Cao **, once Yuan Shao's army is defeated, we will definitely become funeral objects! ”

Gongsun Zhan thought so, and sighed: "I knew this earlier, it was better to agree to Ma Chao's thief's request, no matter how bad it is, he can dominate the Liaodong area, why is it said that he has become a lost dog so far!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei also shook his head and sighed, and said hatefully: "Ma Chao's thief killed my brother-in-law and took away my beloved wife. Although Liu Bei is not talented, he vows to fight Ma Chao to the end, why should Brother Bo Wei say frustrating words? ”

Gongsun Zhan nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Ma Chao has always been a thief who is unrighteous, this time he broke through Yijing City, and my Gongsun family fell into the hands of Ma Chao." I wanted to have Ma Tie in my hand, and he didn't dare to do anything excessive, how did I know that the thief was so vicious, except for my wife and only son, the other family members were either relegated to slaves or given to the Huns as concubines. ”

Liu Bei nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Bo Wei and Bei have always been like-minded, and this time they were both killed by Ma Chao's thief, and I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Gongsun Chan said: "Virtuous brother, please say, why should you and I be so polite? ”

Liu Bei immediately retreated, and asked Guan Yu to guard the door in person, and only after making sure that nothing was wrong did he whisper: "You and I were both Ma Chao**, and now it is just an expedient measure to take refuge in Cao**!" If there is a big chaos today, Yanzhou is the first to bear the brunt, the troops in our hands are weak, and there is no money and food supply, then Cao ** is also the world's annihilator, how can I make the two of us bigger? ”

Gongsun Zhan looked at Liu Bei with deep meaning, nodded and said: "I don't know what the virtuous brother said is a brother, but now I have no choice but to do it, although Cao ** is extremely deceitful, but he is known to be tolerant, at least he can protect my surname and other surnames without worry, if I go to Yuan Shao, I am afraid that I can only be a man with my tail between my legs in the future!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Taking refuge in Cao ** and Yuan Shao is not a long-term solution!" If we want to make a comeback, we can only find another way out, but Bei has some ideas, but I am afraid that Brother Bo Wei will not listen to Bei's words! (To be continued.) )
