In the battle of the White Horse, due to Gao Yuan's sudden appearance, Guan Yu failed to kill Yan Liang. However, Guan Gong is Guan Gong, and he still hit Yan Liang hard.

The Hebei Army lost its commander, and Gao Yuan, as a guest army, could not command the Hebei Army to fight.

Therefore, the Hebei army, which lost its commander, was defeated at Baima and retreated to Liyang.

Three days later, Gao Yuan escorted Yan Liang to Liyang. came back at the same time, as well as Yuan Shao, who was deceived and ran to Yanjin in vain.

Liyang County is not big, but it is an important military town on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Outside the city, Gao Yuanjun's own camp.

Gao Yuan was studying with Zhang Liao and others to strengthen the training of soldiers, and an envoy from Yuan Shao came to report, "General Gao, Yuan Gong has summoned you." ”

Before leaving, Zhang Liao said: "Lord, you must be cautious when you go. ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, don't worry, Xu You is Yuan Shao's adviser, since he has accepted my money, he will definitely speak for me." ”

As early as before coming to Liyang, Gao Yuan began to prepare for entering Yuan Shao's forces. and sent Liao Hua to bribe Xu Yu first.

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard this, looked at Gao Yuan's back, and sighed: "The lord is thoughtful, and he is no longer the person he used to be." ”

It is said that Gao Yuan entered the city and came to Yuan Shao's mansion, everything was very strange to him, and he was inevitably nervous when he wanted to see Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei. He took a deep breath and entered the house, and when he walked into the main hall, he saw a person sitting on the handsome seat, with a dignified appearance, extraordinary appearance, and quite imposing. It's just that at the moment, his face is gloomy, and his eyes are full of anger.

On both sides of Hebei, the civil and military forces are carefully looking at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan carefully looked at the situation in the tent, and then stepped forward and bowed, "Gao Yuan has seen Yuan Gong." ”

Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping all showed vigilance in the tent, just like when Lu Bu came.

The chubby Xu Youle walked out and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs." The lord crusaded against the national thief Cao Cao, and everyone in the world looked forward to it, and now Meng Yan came to help, which is gratifying. ”

Guo Tu's mustache with a pointed chin trembled, and he couldn't see why Xu Yu helped Gao Yuan speak.

When Yuan Shao heard the auspicious words, his face softened a little, and he sat down and said: "Virtuous nephew, when your father-in-law came here in the past, my father-in-law saw you, and you were still young at that time, so I guess you can't remember!" In the past, your father-in-law helped me encircle and suppress Zhang Yan, and today you saved my father's beloved general, how can I not thank you. ”

Gao Yuan came from the next generation, and he knew that Yuan Shao was wide on the outside and taboo on the inside. He is a newcomer here, and he must not show his ambitions. Therefore, Gao Yuan said: "The little nephew came to help Yuan Gong, just to take revenge." The soldiers worked together, and this saved General Yan. The little nephew did not ask Yuan Gong to thank him, but only asked to assist Yuan Gong in fighting Cao Cao and avenge his father. ”

Yuan Shao has always emulated Corporal Zhou Gonglixian, which is what everyone wants, monopolizes the land of the four states, and becomes the first prince in the world. Liu Bei came before, and now Gao Yuan has also come to help him. These people can help him gather connections, boost his prestige, and fight against Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao thought for a moment, and then said: "Virtuous nephew, I am very pleased that you have avenged your father. How about I put you as a lieutenant to be captured and used under my account for the time being? ”

"I am willing to crusade with Yuan Gong to defeat the national thief Cao Cao." Gao Yuan said.

Yuan Shao was relieved on his face, but he was actually tired in his heart. Because Gao Yuan's words have already shown his attitude.

If it were an ordinary person, he would say what was effective. Everyone in the hall whispered, and there was another person like Liu Bei, who was a guest army to help, not to be like-minded.

Then Yuan Shao discussed military strategy with his advisers, and Gao Yuan stood aside.

A military general beside him was very strong, eight feet long, with a face like a pig, and he only heard him whisper: "Thank you Brother Meng Yan for saving me Brother Wenshan, a certain is Wen Chou." ”

Wen Chou called him a brother, which is a gratitude to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuanzheng said that he had a friendship with the famous Hebei general Lala, and there was a debate in the hall. It turned out to be Yuan Shao's advisers, and they quarreled over the future military strategy.

There are three factions under Yuan Shao's group, in no particular order, the first faction is the Nanyang faction that followed Yuan Shao's earliest, and the representative figures are Xu You and Feng Ji. The second faction is the Yingchuan faction, and the representative figures are Guo Tu and Xin Ping, in fact, there are two cattle in the Yingchuan faction, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, but the two saw that Yuan Shao "can't make a big deal in the end" and left one after another.

Guo Jia has a sentence that explains the root cause, "Yuan Gongfu wants to follow the corporal of Zhou Gong, but he doesn't know the opportunity to employ people." There are many ends, there are few wants, there is no decision, and it is difficult to help the world with each other, and it is difficult to determine the cause of the overlord! ”

It means that Yuan Shao will not use people, so he wasted the talents gathered under his command after studying Zhou Gonghou. Although Yuan Shao thinks a lot of things, he can't grasp everything. There are many ways to figure out everything, but there are no trade-offs. It is too difficult to achieve great things with such a person.

And the third faction, in fact, does not have a third faction, in fact, it is the third faction that the first two factions themselves qualitated. This third faction is the Hebei local faction, represented by Tian Feng and Fu Zhu. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are recognized as highly talented people, upright, not slanderous, and never form gangs.

The Nanyang faction and the Yingchuan faction were both outsiders, but Yuan Shao's roots were in Hebei. Therefore, they were inevitably squeezed out of the core, and they naturally joined forces to fight the local faction. Tian Feng has been imprisoned, and the military power granted by the two factions has also been divided a lot. After Yuan Shao's death, Guo Tu and others intensified their efforts, and did not hesitate to split the Hebei group in order to compete for power and profit.

"The factional struggle was too cruel, and Shengsheng wiped out the most powerful group of this period." Gao Yuan couldn't help but think. However, this also has a huge relationship with Yuan Shao's improper employment, which is a warning to Gao Yuan.

At this time, someone entered the hall, looked sideways, and saw a person walking in, with his hands over his knees, his ears hanging down his shoulders, and he was a gentle middle-aged elder.

Liu Bei! This feature is so obvious that Gao Yuan recognized it at a glance.

When he looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei also looked at him.

Liu Bei didn't know Gao Yuan, but he still smiled, and Gao Yuan suddenly felt like a spring breeze.

As Liu Bei entered the account, Yuan Shao's angry voice sounded in the tent, and when he looked from afar, he saw Yuan Shao pointing at Liu Bei and saying angrily: "Liu Xuande, your brother hurt my favorite general, you must be an accomplice." Come on, launch the gate and cut it! ”

Before Gao Yuan came here, in fact, Yuan Shao's big tent had already experienced some waves. The reason was Yuan Shaozhong's plan, he went to Yanjin in vain, and Yan Liang's side was defeated, and the army was lost. Someone has to take responsibility for such a thing. If it was in the past, it must be the best time for the Nanyang faction and the Yingchuan faction to tilt against each other.

However, in this case, both factions, who are strategists, have a certain responsibility. Therefore, the two factions stood together for the time being and threw the responsibility on Liu Bei's head.

Xu You, Guo Tu and others faintly hinted that Liu Bei was a big traitor, how could he be undefeated if there was a big traitor?

The civil and military forces of Hebei were all glaring at Liu Bei. And at this moment, Gao Yuan is silent, and his heart is turbulent because he witnessed a certain moment in history.

At this moment, Liu Bei's head was sweating, his heart was anxious, and his liver and gallbladder were broken. However, he knew what kind of person Yuan Shao was, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Ming Gong only listens to one side, and never looks to the sun?" Bei was separated from Xuzhou, and the second brother Yun Chang did not know whether he existed. There are many people with the same appearance in the world, and I can't just rely on my bare face and long beard, so I can say that it is my second brother Guan Yunchang. Ming Gong is clear! ”

Yuan Shao is a person who has a lot of clues, but can't make up his mind, as long as anyone says something reasonable, he will consider it from whose standpoint. And Liu Bei is now also a person who is famous all over the world, first taken in by Cao Cao, and now he has run to Yuan Shao. The Lord can't kill celebrities, and if he doesn't, he will lose his popularity. After Yuan Shao heard Liu Bei's defense, he reproached Xu You and the others: "I misheard what you said, and I almost killed a good person." ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yu was held accountable, a little dissatisfied, and said: "Lord, General Gao saved General Yan, he knows Guan Yu, and he will know it when he asks." ”

"That's right!" Yuan Shao immediately turned his head to Gao Yuan and said, "Virtuous nephew, if you take back the Red Rabbit Horse from Guan Yunchang, you will definitely not admit your mistake." You told my father, the person who seriously injured Yan Liang, but Liu Xuande's brother Guan Yunchang? ”

Liu Bei did not admit it in history, and Yuan Shao had no direct evidence, so Liu Bei escaped. And now it's different, there is Gao Yuan, who is familiar with Guan Yu.

Everyone looked at Gao Yuan, whether Liu Bei was alive or dead, it was in his words.

Liu Bei's face changed greatly, and he secretly said that something was not good, only then did he know that the strange young man he saw when he came in turned out to be Gao Yuan, who had been quite famous recently.
