Chapter Eighty-Four: The True Murderer

PS: Recommendation tickets and collections on Monday, strong push! Brothers, vote for a little force!

After running all the way and running for sixty or seventy miles to the north, Yuan Mai and the others met their own team, dragging the two thousand men and horses of Tian Chou in the rear.

Seeing that Gongzi was wounded and there were few cavalry left, Tian Chou was shocked, and hurriedly ordered people to quickly whip up the horse and inform the main general in front of him, Lu Yi, that the army was temporarily advancing. On the one hand, he sent people to set up a camp, helped Yuan Mai off his horse, and recruited a military doctor to come quickly to heal his son. There were more than 40 people in the group, almost all of whom hung colors and blood-stained robes, which only made the military doctor busy.

"I didn't die today, it all depends on the Fan brothers who sacrificed their lives to save me and bury him!"

Until Yuan bought the horse, Fan Hu, who had already lost his breath, still hugged Gongzi's body and turned into the strongest meat shield. Seeing Fan Hu's loyal appearance, his back was full of carved arrows, and there were more than 30 of them, and everyone present shed tears, and Yuan Mai also wept and mourned regardless of the pain.

After a lot of hard work, Koji Yi and Tian Feng, as well as several of Yuan Mai's confidants, Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, Zhao Zhao and others came to Tian Chou's army to visit the wounded son.

The art of the military doctor is good, first cut the arrow with scissors, and then pull it out with force, and the blood suddenly gushes out like a spring. Yuan Mai's painful forehead was sweating, but when he remembered the tragic death of the Fan brothers, he gritted his teeth and forcibly endured the huge pain without saying a word. In any case, he was much luckier than them, if it weren't for the Fan brothers who risked their lives to save them, maybe he would have been trampled into meat sauce by horses' hooves at this moment.

Applying herbs to stop bleeding and wrapping it with a bandage, it took a lot of effort to stop the bleeding, and it was finally fine. Yuan Mai's face was sallow, his body was weak, he was half lying on the bed panting, he escaped death, and finally escaped a catastrophe!

"Childe, is it okay?" Seeing that the military doctor pulled out the arrow and stopped the bleeding for Yuan Mai, there was no major problem, so Tian Feng asked worriedly.

"It's okay, you can't die!" Yuan Mai leaned on the head of the bed and said with difficulty.

Lu Yi had a puzzled expression, and his thick and powerful palm rubbed the scar on his face back and forth: "The whole territory of Mayi is in the hinterland of Yanmen, and it is three hundred miles away from the territory controlled by the Huns, and there is my previous camp stationed in the Yin Pavilion more than a hundred miles to the west, why can the Huns go deep into the hinterland and launch a surprise attack on Gongzi?" Could it be that the second son of Yuan Xi was unaware of this, and more than 2,000 Hun soldiers appeared in the territory of Ma Yi without realizing it? It's pretty weird! ”

Listening to Ko Yi's words, Yuan Mai struggled to sit up, leaning against the head of the bed, thinking about the scene of the attack. At that time, I was suspicious, but now that I think about it, this sudden appearance of the Hun soldiers is even more suspicious.

First of all, this Hun group was not tall, and its appearance was not the white face shape of later generations; And the language spoken is not Xiongnu, most of them speak the language of the Han people, and the war horses they ride are not tall Dawan horses, which are almost the same as the war horse breeds of the Han army; Finally, the weapons used by this team are mainly spears, ge, and guns, rather than the scimitars commonly used by the Huns.

At that moment, Yuan Mai brought the doubts in his heart to Liyi one by one, after listening to Liyi, he closed his eyes and thought, and after thinking for a while, he slowly opened his eyes: "I know who attacked Gongzi is, I have been stationed in Yanmen for more than a year, and the Huns have never crossed the border like this." Now it suddenly appeared, and then combined with what Gongzi said, this team is definitely not a Huns! ”

"Could it be a Black Mountain thief, Zhang Yan's subordinates?" Hao Zhao asked with a puzzled expression.

Tian Feng shook his head and overturned Hao Zhao's opinion: "If it weren't for the Huns, it wouldn't be a Black Mountain thief!" Zhang Yan's men and horses have already fought with us, which shows that they have nothing to fear about being enemies of our army, and they don't need to disguise themselves as Huns at all! ”

Tian Chou agreed with Tian Feng's point of view, nodded and said: "What the Lord of the Army said is extremely true, if it is Zhang Yan's people, there is no need to go to great lengths to pretend to be Huns. ”

"If so, where did the team come from? Daijun is still three hundred miles away from here, so it shouldn't be Gongsun Zhan's people, right? Pulling his sparse beard, he pondered the question together.

"Yuan Xi, it must be Yuan Xi!"

Yuan Mai and Ko Yi glanced at each other and read out a name almost in unison. Others don't know the story between their brothers, but Yuan Mai and Koji Yi know it, and they eat dumplings dumbly - they know it in their hearts.

"What, Yuan Xi? Second son? ”

As soon as Yuan Mai and Ko Yi's words came out, almost all of them were surprised, and they said this in unison.

"Xi Gongzi and Mai Gongzi are compatriots, siblings, it is impossible to do such a thing, right? If there is no evidence in this matter, there is no room for speculation. Hao Zhao asked a little puzzled.

Lu Yi glanced at Hao Zhao and said disdainfully: "What do you know!" Since ancient times, brothers have fought for power, which is not a bayonet to see red, wanting to put each other to death and then hurry? ”

Tian Feng stroked his beard with his hand and closed his eyes in contemplation. I felt in my heart that this matter was definitely not so simple, with my understanding of Yuan Xi, he was a relatively loyal and honest person who lacked guts, if there was no special reason, he should not take the initiative to make a move on his brother. If it was Yuan Shang or Yuan Tan who did this, Tian Feng didn't think it was strange, but if it was Yuan Xi, there must be an unknown reason for this.

"Yifeng knows that Gongzi Xi is loyal and humble, how could he poison Gongzi for no reason? And even disguised as a Huns? It's a strange thing! Don't wronged a good person, this is not a child's play! ”

Tian Fengnai was the number one thinker under Yuan Shao, and he was also one of the few wise men in the entire Three Kingdoms era, and Yuan Mai understood that if he wanted to deceive him, he had to make up a credible lie. Otherwise, let him know that he took the initiative to ambush Yuan Xi first, so that he could counterattack and snipe himself halfway, and he didn't know what he would think in his heart, if he flicked his sleeves and left, wouldn't it be bad!

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Mai made up a decent lie: "Sir doesn't know, when the second brother came to Yanmen to take over the military power, my father once said that when our Northern Expeditionary Army arrived in Daijun, let him return to Yecheng to complete the marriage, and I will temporarily take over the Yanmen military horses." I think that the second brother may be afraid that after I take over the military power, he will lose control of the army in his hands, so he does not hesitate to take risks and send his subordinates to disguise themselves as Huns to ambush me halfway, in order to kill me! ”

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang and others suddenly realized, and shook their heads and exclaimed that it was so, no wonder they suddenly killed a Hun for some reason, it turned out that Yuan Xi was afraid that the son would take away his military power, so he struck first and sent his subordinates Qiao to pretend to be Huns in an ambush halfway, so disregarding brotherhood, it was really vicious!

When Tian Feng was in Yecheng, he had heard his wife say that Feng Ji's wife was a matchmaker for Yuan Xi, and when Yuan Mai said this, he believed it seven points, but he still said cautiously: "This matter is very important, and we must not be untrustworthy, when the investigation is clear, we will make a conclusion!" ”

Yuan Mai nodded, and also wanted to know whether the team disguised as the Huns was Yuan Mai's subordinates, and said to Lu Yi: "General Shutong, you have been in Yanmen for a long time, and you know everything about the Huns, so you can take someone to the scene to investigate and check if it was Yuan Xi's doing?" ”

"Okay, I'll go to the site to investigate!"

Lu Yi agreed, and ordered Wang Shuang to lead a thousand cavalry, follow him back overnight, and investigate the place where Yuan Mai was ambushed, and find out whether this group of men and horses was really Huns, and if not, whether it was really pretended to be by Yuan Xi's men and horses?
