While paying attention to the Yanzhou battlefield, let's also take a look at the situation of Lord Yang Hongyang's envoy to Jizhou, and see if the deputy director of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Shimeitao, abandoned his wife Lu Die, and returned to Xuzhou to marry Yuan Fang, who was born in the third family of the fourth world.

As the so-called good people don't have a long fate, bastards live for a thousand years, although Yang Hong in the five counties of Xuzhou except for Tao Ying himself, almost no one likes it, but it just so happened that at about the same time that Cao Boss heard the bad taste of the Junzi Army's military songs, Yang Hong, a special diplomatic liar under Deputy Director Tao, disguised himself as a tea merchant, and crossed the land of Taishan County controlled by Cao Jun, and crossed the three counties of Qinghe, Anping and Julu controlled by Yuan Shaojun, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Jizhou Prefecture Zhigaoyi City.

What makes Lord Yang Hong disdainful is that the dignified Jizhou Prefecture Gaoyi City is not as prosperous as Tao Ying's old nest Pengcheng, not to mention compared with the richest Xiapi in Xuzhou, most of the people on the street are full of vegetables, yellow and thin faces, and ragged people abound, and at a glance you know that the usual standard of living is not very good, and most of the houses on both sides of the street are old, there are almost no newly renovated residential shops, the market in the city is also quite depressed, and the tax is particularly heavy, Yang Hong and his party of nineteen people plus ten carts of tea carried, If it is in Pengcheng at most one hundred and twenty yuan of entry tax, but into Gaoyi City is drawn three hundred and forty yuan, the tax is so high that it is comparable to the current impoverished Taishan County of Cao Boss - of course, it is not enough to be above and more than below, if it is compared with Yang Hong's last lord Xiao Yuan Sangong, the Great Yuan Sangong is also a conscientious prince in terms of taxation.

However, everything has a positive and negative, and there is one thing that Yang Hong is very envious of under the rule of the Third Duke of Yuan, that is, the mansions of the big families and officials in Jizhou City, the luxury is far more than the mansions of the Xuzhou magnates. Seeing this scene, our Lord Yang Hongyang, who has high moral character, inevitably gave birth to such thoughts, "If Yuan Benchu also fell in love with me at first sight like the lord, and opened his mouth to solicit me, then I would simply switch to Yuan Benchu." Being an official in Jizhou is definitely more comfortable and convenient to make money than being an official in Xuzhou. ”

Yang Hong is not too stupid, knowing the blessing of Lao Tao Qian standing on the wrong team, the Xuzhou army and Yuan Shaojun are still in a state of reputation war, so it is not only difficult to see Yuan Shao himself, maybe there will be a worry about his surname, so Yang Hong first found an inn to live in, and began to drill around the mountains and holes to inquire about the various situations of Jizhou officialdom, trying to contact the confidants of Yuan Sangong, and looking for a breakthrough in them. Get the opportunity to meet directly with the Great Yuan Sangong.

Lord Yang Hong is a straw bag in the military, a fool in strategy, and a mess in internal affairs, but he is no less than the absolute genius of Deputy Director Tao in terms of nesting, speculation and bribery, secretly contacting and approaching the powerful people like the henchmen of the Great Yuan Sangong, it may be very difficult to change Chen Denglai, and it will definitely be a black eye for Lu Sulai, but Lord Yang Hong's shot is as simple as eating and sleeping, and after living in Gaoyi City for less than three days, Yang Hong found out that in addition to a group of nephews and relatives, there is also Guo Tu, Trial, Feng Ji and Xu Yu a few strategists.

In addition, Yang Hong also figured out that there were still Tian Feng and Fu Zhu in Jizhou City who could also help him meet the Great Yuan Sangong, but unfortunately these two fools would not be able to platter the big Yuan Sangong and not please the Great Yuan Sangong, so Yang Hong quickly eliminated these two fools and decided to attack Guo Tu, Xianping, Feng Ji and Xu You. However, it is a pity that Lord Xu Youxu, who is recognized as the most greedy in Jizhou City, has gone to the Youzhou battlefield, and Feng Ji has also gone to the front line of Youzhou to supervise the war.

With money in hand, it is convenient to do things, and it only took one night of hard work, Lord Yang Hong met Guo Tu's nephew Guo Chun in the Goolan Courtyard (Ji Yuan) in Gaoyi City, first took the initiative to pay for the friendship with Guo Chun, and smashed Guo Chun with jewelry, and agreed to introduce Lord Yang Hong to his uncle Guo Tu, and then at noon the next day, Lord Yang Hong came to the door of Guo Mansion with heavy gifts, and relied on Guo Chun's help to enter the gate of Guo Mansion, and came to the back hall of Guo Mansion, and successfully met Guo Tu himself.

To the surprise of Lord Yang Hong, he had obviously asked Guo Chun to report to Guo Tu the identity of the secret envoy of Xuzhou, Guo Tu did not even meet him alone, in addition to Guo Tu himself, there was also a middle-aged scribe in his forties, a young man of twenty-six or seven years old, with an ordinary appearance and a gloomy expression, sitting in the middle of the back hall, Guo Tu and another middle-aged scribe were just sitting on his left and right, and their status seemed to be not low. Yang Hong didn't know their identities, but he didn't dare to slack off, he knelt down on his knees honestly, held the gift box in his hand and said respectfully: "The little envoy Xuzhou Mayor Shi Yang Hong, meet Mr. Gongze, meet the two gentlemen." ”

"Are you a messenger from Xuzhou?" It was the young man who spoke with a very unfriendly attitude and asked, "Tao Ying's thief is my enemy of Jizhou, why did he send you here?" ”

Yang Hong didn't know the identity of the young man of the Yin Vulture, so he didn't dare to answer casually, but peeked at his good friend Guo Chun next to him, and Guo Chun was also very nervous, and after asking his uncle Guo Tu for permission with his eyes, he introduced to Yang Hong in a low voice: "Lord Yang, this son is the eldest son of my father-in-law, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of my family, this gentleman's surname is Xin Ming, Zhongzhi, and he now lives in ....... ”

"Come on, I don't need to introduce it." Yuan Tan interrupted Guo Chun's introduction ruthlessly, and turned to Guo Tu and shouted: "Gongzhi, shouldn't your nephew teach a lesson?" Even the enemy's secret envoy dares to touch, what else can't be done? ”

"No, I will definitely punish this nephew severely." Guo Tu lowered his eyebrows and agreed, and then shouted to Guo Chun: "Why don't you get out of here?" I'll settle accounts with you later! ”

Poor Young Master Guo even rolled and rolled, and Yang Hong, who was good at observing words and feelings, also had a cold heart, and secretly said that it was not good, this time he would not worship the wrong mountain gate, this Yuan Dagongzi seemed to be very hostile to Xuzhou. At this time, Yuan Tan drank again, "Answer, why did the thief Tao Ying send you here?!" ”

"Back to ......, back to the eldest son." Yang Hong replied tremblingly: "My lord Tao should be Tao envoy, I have long admired the name of Yuan Gong and the eldest son, and the special envoy came to visit Yuan Gong, this is a little gift from my lord Tao Envoy Jun to pay homage to the eldest prince. ”

Saying that, Yang Hong hurriedly opened the gift box in his hand that he was going to buy Guo Tu, revealing a box full of precious jewelry, but Yuan Tan not only did not show any joy when he saw such a heavy gift, but also snorted very disdainfully, and said, "What are Tao Ying Xiao'er going to do when he sends such a heavy gift?" ”

"I ......, my lord ......." Yang Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally replied truthfully: "My lord Tao Envoy Jun wants to make peace with Yuan Gong, turn hostility into jade silk, and the two families will always form an alliance and never offend each other." In addition, my lord Tao Envoy Jun also heard that Yuan Gong has a female name called Yuan Fang, beautiful and virtuous, and intends to ask Yuan Gong for marriage, hire Yuan Gong's daughter as his wife, and worship Yuan Gong as his ......father-in-law. ”

When Yang Hong said that Tao Ying intended to marry Yuan Shao's daughter as his wife, Yuan Tan's face was simply ugly and turned iron blue, Yang Hong, who was good at observing words and feelings, found this, and quickly closed his mouth to avoid further irritating this Yuan Dagongzi, who did not know why he was unusually hostile to Xuzhou. But it was too late for Lord Yang Hong to do this, and Yuan Dagongzi couldn't bear to shoot the case, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Who is Tao Ying'er, who dares to ask for marriage from the famous family of my fourth and third dukes? How good is it to get married? ”

"Oops, bad things!" Yang Hong screamed bitterly, quickly changed his words, nodded and said as quickly as a chicken pecking rice: "The eldest prince is reasonable, and I also feel that the lord is whimsical, as the so-called tiger girl is willing to marry a dog, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, how can I marry my beloved daughter to my lord?" The villain also repeatedly admonished Tao Ying before, but it was a pity that Tao Ying's little toad wanted to eat swan meat and insisted on coming to ask for marriage, but the villain was helpless, so he was forced to come to Jizhou. ”

Since ancient times, there have really been few envoys who have scolded their own lord so badly in front of outsiders, so after hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Tan, who hated Tao Ying so much, was also a little surprised, and asked: "You are Tao Ying's messenger, why do you want to hurt your lord so much in front of me?" ”

"The eldest prince doesn't know anything, and the hatred for Tao Ying'er is not a day or two." Yang Hong said quickly: "That Tao Ying Xiaoer is as ugly as a pig, stupid as a dog, the surname of a jackal, the heart of a snake and scorpion, rebellious offense, harsh, in the next has long hated him, all the time I want to abandon him, this time Tao Ying Xiaoer forced the villain to send an envoy to Jizhou, the villain has already made up his mind, ready to use this opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, for Yuan Gong and the eldest prince to serve the dog and horse." Please rest assured, Tao Ying Xiaoer's military situation in Xuzhou, soldiers and horses are stationed, the villain knows everything, no matter what the eldest prince wants to know, the villain must know everything, and the words are endless! So, don't kill the villain, eldest son. ”

Hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Tan Yin Vulture's face finally showed a smile, but Xin Ping next to him laughed and said: "It really deserves to be the famous Yang Hong Yang Zhongming, it is really a person who talks about people and talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, this ability to see the wind and rudder is really admirable." ”

The old bottom was exposed by Xin Ping on the spot, although Yang Hong's cheekiness was no less than that of Deputy Director Tao, he couldn't help but be red at the moment, and cautiously asked Xin Ping: "Lord Xin, do you know the villain?" ”

Xin Ping didn't bother to answer Yang Hong, just turned to Yuan Tan and said with a smile: "Eldest Prince, please let me introduce you to this Yang Hong Lord Yang, this Lord Yang was originally the long history of Yuan Highway, the uncle of the son, and was famous for bullying and flattering in Huainan. When Yuan Highway attacked Xuzhou the previous time, this Yang Hong betrayed your uncle and helped Tao Ying Xiaoer break through the 130,000 army in Huainan, and was named the long history of Xuzhou by Tao Ying Xiaoer. ”

"I see." Yuan Tan also laughed and said, "Such a despicable villain, what do you want him to do?" Come on, push it out and cut it, and send the head to Huainan to give it to your uncle. ”

"No!" Several guards immediately rushed in outside the door, holding Yang Hong down, Lord Yang Hong was so frightened that he quickly screamed and begged for mercy, and urinated his crotch on the spot, but unfortunately the guards were willing to listen, and Yang Hong walked out of the door, and drew a long water mark on the ground. Fortunately, at this time, Xin Ping opened his mouth and shouted: "Let's do it slowly, let me wait for a little discussion with my son." ”

After drinking the guards and not making a move immediately, Xin Ping turned to Yuan Tan and said: "The eldest prince, although Yang Hong is despicable, but he is Xuzhou, there is a way that the two countries are at war, and if you don't kill it, if the prince does not report to the lord, the thief will be executed, and the lord will be there, and the prince is afraid that it will be difficult to explain." ”

"Such a despicable villain, kill and kill, what's not to explain?" Yuan Tan snorted coldly: "Besides, Tao Yingxiao'er is his father's enemy, why not kill his messenger?" ”

"Childe, killing the envoy is not a trivial matter after all, it is better to be cautious." Guo Tu also persuaded: "In my opinion, it is best to escort this Yang Hong villain to the court first, and then the prince will go to report to the lord again, explaining the hatefulness of this Yang Hong villain, betraying the unforgivable crime of the Yuan family, and asking the lord to order the beheading - in this way, there is no chance to make a big fuss over there, and instigate the lord to dislike the prince even more." ”

"Humph!" Yuan Tan snorted again, and then reluctantly nodded and said, "It's okay, that's it, first escort this Yang Hong to the city law field, wait for me to understand my father, and then behead him!" ”

So, our poor Lord Yang didn't even understand the reason why Yuan Tan hated Xuzhou, and he was dragged out of Guo's mansion in a daze, and was escorted to the court in Gaoyi City, poor Lord Yang cried desperately all the way and begged for mercy, but unfortunately the soldiers of Yuan Shao who escorted Yang Hong didn't listen at all, but just tied Yang Hong firmly to the execution pillar, while sharpening the ghost head knife, while waiting for Yuan Shao's beheading order, the law field was also surrounded by the people of Jizhou, pointing at Lord Yang Hong, and there were many discussions.

Although the relationship between the big and small Yuan Sangong brothers is notoriously bad, but after all, the big and small Yuan Sangong are also half-brothers, and Yang Hong's betrayal of the little Yuan Sangong is also a bit too bad, so he was tied to the execution pillar and didn't wait for much time, a civil official came to the court with the order of the big Yuan Sangong, and shouted in public: "The lord has an order, and the Xuzhou annihilation of Yang Hong will be beheaded and beheaded!" ”

"No!" The executioner with the ghost knife in his hand shouted and agreed, but poor Lord Yang Hong peed his crotch again, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "It's over, I'm done." ”

………………………… Let's go back and take a look at the situation on the battlefield of Changyi in Yanzhou, when the Junzi Army marched all the way, bypassing the blocking positions of the outer armies of the Cao Army, and raided near the camp of the Cao, Yuan, and Liu allied forces, the Changyi City Wall, which had been surrounded by water, was of course thunderous with joy, and the desperate Lu Bu Army was ecstatic, if it weren't for Lu Bu and Chen Gong knowing the combat characteristics of the Junzi Army and blocking it in time, the Lu Bu Army would have almost opened the city gate and killed to meet the Junzi Army.

On the contrary, after hearing the military song of the Junzi Army's evil taste to the extreme, Cao Lao Da and Uncle Liu Huang, who had had enough of the Junzi Army's big losses, were as pale as dirt, knowing that this time trouble was coming-or big trouble was coming, their own army was destined to be disturbed by this group of leper dogs, and the originally extremely safe grain road was also destined to be in danger everywhere. At the same time, although there were peerless generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, Dian Wei, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, none of them dared to step forward to ask for battle and lead the army to meet the Junzi Army—they were all already abused and frightened by the Junzi Army.

Of course, there are also rookies who don't know whether they are alive or dead, at least Yuan Shaojun's two fierce generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou ran over, first looked at the situation of the gentleman's army from a distance, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief, and finally Yan Liang smiled at Boss Cao and Uncle Liu Huang: "Meng Degong, Xuande Gong, this is the famous gentleman's army?" It's not a big deal, it's better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to be famous than to meet. ”

"Nothing remarkable? Then you can try it. Boss Cao and Uncle Liu Huang glanced at Yan Liang together, and also muttered in their hearts, and then Boss Cao said stubbornly: "The enemy army is coming to help, who dares to block and repel the enemy's reinforcements?" ”

The generals of the Cao army, including the bold Dian Wei, were all unusual, closed their mouths tightly, and did not dare to agree, and Uncle Liu Huang quietly retreated half a step, for fear that Boss Cao would send him to fight this battle that was destined to be unwinnable. Over there, Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other, and then Yan Liang asked in surprise: "Princess, why are you like this?" Could it be that this gentleman's army is really so heroic and invincible that even you are terrified? ”

The generals of the Cao army were still silent, but Guan Yu, who had always been proud, snorted, "The hypocrite army also dares to call it heroic and invincible, ridiculous!" ”

"Then why didn't General Yun Chang volunteer?" Yan Liang asked again.

Guan Erye didn't say anything this time, just closed his mouth honestly, and scolded in his heart, "Why didn't I volunteer?" These hypocrites don't fight me at all, they just keep firing arrows, how can I fight? ”

Seeing the expression of Guan Yu, who was usually so proud that he didn't even pay attention to Cao Ying Lu Bu, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who had not suffered a loss, were even more curious, and at that moment Yan Liang said to Wen Chou: "Uncle Evil General, since no one dares to go to the battle, how about you and I go to see this famous gentleman's army together?" ”

"Very good." Wen Chou nodded without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and said: "Take five thousand elite horses and strive to wipe out the enemy." ”

Hearing Wen Chou's words, Boss Cao and Uncle Liu Huang almost didn't laugh out loud, but the capital government was extremely deep and forcibly held back, and the generals of the Cao army and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei over there all had strange expressions, but because Yan Liangwen Chou usually relied on Yuan Shaojun's strong toe, and the generals of Cao Jun and the three brothers of Peach were very bad, so no one in Leng opened his mouth to remind him, saying that this was a battle that could not be won at all. And when he saw the poor Yan Liangwen Chou leading the army out of the camp to meet the Junzi Army, Lu Xiangxiang on the Changyi city wall in the distance also laughed wildly, "There is still such a fool in the world who dares to fight a field battle on the plains with my virtuous son-in-law's Junzi Army?" Go, go, and you'll know how to write dead words in no time. ”

It was also when Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the army away, and they were already fighting in array with the Junzi Army, that Boss Cao suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned his head to the generals and asked: "Wait, can someone remind Yan Liang and Wen Chou and tell them not to fight with the Junzi Army?" ”

The generals of the Cao army shook their heads neatly, and Boss Cao turned to the three peach brothers again, and asked Uncle Liu Huang: "Xuande Gong, you have often had dealings with Yan Liangwen and Chou, have you ever introduced the tactics of the Junzi Army to them and reminded them not to fight with the Junzi Army?" ”

"Ming Gong forgive me, it seems that I haven't said it." Uncle Liu Huang replied respectfully, and asked tentatively: "Duke Ming, since Duke Ming is worried that the two generals Yan Wen will suffer, why don't you send someone to remind the two generals, maybe it's still too late." ”

"I was stupid to remind them that Yan Liangwen and Chou are all Yuan Shao's confidants and favorite generals, and they are like siblings, they are casually yin by hypocrites, and the remaining one, as well as Yuan Benchu's stupidity, must be incompatible with the Xuzhou army." Boss Cao muttered in his heart, and sighed on his lips: "I'm afraid it's too late, Xuande Gong, please see, Yan Wen's two generals have already lined up." ”

Uncle Liu Huang looked up at the south and nodded: "Indeed, this will remind them that it is too late, and maybe it will interfere with the military spirit of Yuan Gong's cavalry, and it will cause a big disaster." ”

"yes, it's too late." Boss Cao sighed again, and said secretly in his heart: "The heroes of the world, but Liu Bei, Tao Ying and Ye Er." ”

So, with the concerted efforts of the two good allies of Cao Boss and Uncle Liu Huang, the poor Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two fierce generals, were pushed to the crater full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and General Yan Liang and Wen Chou were in danger and did not know it, after facing the Junzi Army, when they saw the five loose cavalry formations of the Junzi Army, and heard the Confucius Mencius recited neatly by the Junzi Army, the poor Yan Liang and Wen Chou The two generals also laughed and said: "Cao Apu, Liu Daer and Lu Fengxian are really incompetent, such a weak army, can even kill them in horror and dare not fight? ”

After laughing, only Yan Liang, who had only suffered losses in front of Lu Bu, came out of the battle and shouted in front of the gentleman army who shook his head and recited the "Analects": "You have to pretend to be a ghost on the battlefield, I am Yan Liang, the general under the command of Yuan Gong, Marquis of Qixiang, who dares to fight to the death?" ”

The flag of the Junzi Army waved the flag, Confucius said that Mencius stopped abruptly, and after a while, the Junzi Army rushed out of the array, not amazing, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd and shouting: "I am Lu Bu Lu Feng Xian, Yan Liang Pifu, I will meet you!" ”

"Lu Bu? Lu Fengxian? Poor General Yan Liang was also frightened stupidly by the tried and tested tricks of the Junzi Army, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and crossed his sword, and shouted to the general of the Junzi Army: "You are Lu Bu Lu Wenhou? No, I've seen Lu Wenhou, isn't it like you? ”

"Definitely!" The Junzi Army singled out General Lu Bu, one of the three famous generals, and replied: "My surname is Lu Mingbu, step of step!" The word is fresh, the fish and sheep are fresh! Yan Liang, get off your horse and surrender quickly, I can spare you from death! ”

"Piff, how dare you entertain me?" General Yan Liang was furious, grabbed his horse and raised his knife, and rushed to Lu Bu on the opposite side with a shout, "Lu Bu Pifu, eat me with a knife!" ”

"Yan Liang, take your life!" General Lu Bu was not afraid, and also slapped his horse and rushed towards Yan Liang, brandishing a wooden Fang Tian painting halberd and shouting - the roar was naturally the slogan of the surname of the gentleman's army fighting general, "Yan Liang Pifu!" This time, I'll spare your life! ”

Shouting, General Lu Bu struggled to throw the wooden Fang Tian painting halberd at General Yan Liang, and then turned back, when General Yan Liang easily flashed Fang Tian's painting halberd, General Lu Bu had already turned around and ran back, and General Yan Liang, who had been repeatedly teased and teased, was even more smoking, just chasing Lu Bu with a knife between the horses, and roared like thunder in his mouth, "Shameless horseman, suffer death!" Then it is natural to ............ "Zi said: For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place, and the stars are together." Zi said: There are 300 poems, in a word, he says: Thinking is innocent! ”

In the sound of the neat and incomparably poetic clouds, the three hundred gentlemen's army light cavalry suddenly came out from the rear, passing through the loose horizontal team of the two groups of gentlemen's army heavy cavalry in front, pulling the bow and arrows together in the charge, and the three hundred feather arrows flew out neatly, densely shooting at General Yan Liang, shrouding Yan Liang's front and back, left and right together, poor General Yan Liang was at a loss, and when he reacted a little slowly, three hundred feather arrows had been shot in front of him............ "Gongyue————! The incident happened suddenly, and Wen Chou, who was watching the battle in the rear and had the same siblings as Yan Liangqing, could not be saved, so he could only shout heartbreakingly............ Seeing countless feather arrows coming through the air, they had already approached the door in an instant, and the only thing poor General Yan Liang could do was to close his eyes in despair, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "It's over, I'm done." ”

(To be continued)
