readx;?easy water, autumn wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The wind blowing on the plateau swept Yuan Shao's scarf, scratching his thin face, causing him to squint his eyes and look at the vast sky in the distance.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and never returns. Four hundred years ago, Jing Ke walked to Xianyang from here without hesitation, and struck a shocking blow, although the success was successful, but it left a magnificent reputation to be recited by future generations. And I stepped out from here today, towards the desolate grassland, from now on my hometown is a foreign land, maybe I can never enter the customs again, and Jing Ke walked in the opposite direction, and the traces left in the history are also the opposite. I will forever bear the infamy of a loser, disgrace my ancestors, and be ridiculed by future generations.

Yuan Shao leaned on the carriage, clenched his fists, and his exposed hands trembled.

"My lord, let's board the ship." Guo Tu, who was accompanying the car, kicked the war horse lightly, approached Yuan Shao, and said softly.

"Lord, you can't go." Frustrated, he dragged the wheel, "As soon as the lord leaves Jizhou, it will be difficult to reach the sky if he wants to enter Jizhou." Lord, the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition. As soon as the lord retreats, people's hearts will be scattered, how will they clean up in the future? ”

"Zifu, the lord is not fleeing, he is going to meet with Lord Wuhuan and King Xianbei, and he will come back with Jing Cavalry and fight Liu Xiu to the death." Guo Tu said softly: "You can't just say no. ”

Yuan Shao lowered his head in shame, feeling that the root of his ears was a little feverish.

Frustration also red-eyed, and said sharply: "Guo Tu, am I casually saying it, or are you clever and sè?" Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, how can we judge heroes by winning or losing for a while. Although Yanzhou was defeated, Jizhou still existed. As long as the lord is excited, Jizhou can get another two or three hundred thousand soldiers in an instant, which is enough to deal with Liu Xiu. If the lord escapes to the north because of this, can the people of Jizhou still have confidence in him, at that time, as long as Liu Xiu raises troops to cross the river, the counties will be able to surrender without looking at the wind, even if there are tens of thousands of Jing horses. What's the use? Do the people of Jizhou still have to fight side by side with the Hu people? ”

"Zifu!" Guo Tu was so angry that he didn't dare to refute loudly, so he had to lower his voice. Pulled the sleeve of the frustrated professor vigorously: "When the lord is not in Jizhou, the eldest son is still in Yecheng, and the battle flag of the Yuan family does not fall." How can the people of Jizhou lose confidence, and will someone deliberately spread rumors and make trouble? ”

"You're spewing blood!" Frustrated Zhu was really anxious, stepped forward and grabbed Guo Tu's collar, pulled him off the horse with force, pushed him to the ground, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and roared: "I will kill you today, a minister, and then accompany the lord back to Yecheng to regroup......"

Guo Tu was so frightened that he didn't care about his image. After climbing back a few steps in succession, Yuan Shao was startled and shouted, "Zifu stop!" ”

Frustrated, he scolded with his sword: "Lord." **With such a villain by the side of the lord, how can you achieve great things. Please allow me to kill this man and then ask my lord for sin? ”

Yuan Shao's face sank, and he shouted unhappily: "Zifu, do you mean that I am a villain, Yuan Xianchen?" ”

Frustrated. In his stunned kung fu. Guo Tu crawled and hid behind the guards. At this moment, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and the knight turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Guo Tu, and presented a secret letter with both hands. Guo Tu was frightened by the frustration, his hands trembled for a long time before he opened the secret letter, after taking a look, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked again, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stumbled towards Yuan Shao.

"Lord, lord, great joy, great joy!"

Yuan Shao frowned, very dissatisfied with Guo Tu's actions, at this time, what is there to be happy about.

Guo Tu couldn't look at Yuan Shao's face, and said hurriedly: "Lord, I'm very happy, Liu Xiu was driven back to Jiangling by the Son of Heaven." ”

"What?" Yuan Shao and Fu Zhu shouted in unison, and Fu Zhu stretched out his hand and snatched the secret letter from Guo Tu's hand. Guo Tu was shocked, stretched out his hand to grab it, frustrated with the letter in one hand, and pointed at Guo Tu with a sword in the other, Guo Tu was so frightened that he took two steps back. After reading the letter, he wanted to laugh and cry, and his expression was strange, and he was stunned for a long time.

Guo Tu carefully removed his sword, took out the secret letter from his hand, and handed it to Yuan Shao with both hands. Yuan Shao was not in the mood to care about the rudeness of the frustrated professor at this time, and quickly read the secret letter, his eyebrows trembled, and he suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha...... The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. My cunning rabbit is not dead, but Liu Xiu's lackey is about to be cooked. Hahaha, it's really happy, it's happy. ”

Frustrated eyes, looking at the ecstatic Yuan Shao and Guo Tu, I don't know what they are thinking. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Lord, I just said that Jiren has his own heavenly appearance?" Guo Tu's face smiled like a flower, and his face was flushed with excitement. "It turned out that it was not Xiang Yu who killed Emperor Yi, but Emperor Yi who wanted to kill Xiang Yu. My lord, here is our chance. ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Yuan Shao smiled from ear to ear, stood up from the car, and looked at Yanshan in the distance with high spirits: "Gongzhi, do we still need to get out of the jam?" ”

Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao with a weak heart, leaned in front of Yuan Shao, raised his face, and said humbly: "Lord, the negotiation with the Hu people is very important, and it is not okay if you are not the lord." ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then remembered the excuse for this escape, and smiled a little embarrassedly. He coughed in disguise: "Then let's go and go back quickly?" ”

"My lord." Fu Zhu suddenly interjected: "Although the negotiation with the Hu people is important, it is even more important to understand the military situation of the imperial court. Liu Xiu was suspicious of the Son of Heaven, it was when we fought back, how to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop and not give Liu Xiu a chance to fight back is very important to the foundation of the lord. The lord should immediately return to Yecheng to preside over the important affairs, and as for the negotiation of the exit, the minister thought that it was enough for Guo Xiaowei to act on his behalf. ”

Yuan Shao frowned and thought about it, then turned his gaze to Guo Tu, Guo Tu's eyes rolled: "Lord, the minister is willing to act on behalf of the minister." However, the lord did not have to return to Yecheng. ”

"Why?" Yuan Shao and Fu Zhu asked at the same time. However, Yuan Shao was surprised, but he was a little anxious.

"Because we only know that Liu Xiu suddenly left Puyang and returned to Jiangling, but the real reason is not clear, whether he returned to Jiangling because of the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, or to prepare grain and grass, there is no definite news at the moment, and further confirmation is needed. Second, although Liu Xiu left, he only took his own personal guard battalion. The other ministries have not yet moved, and they may invade Jizhou at any time. It is important to return to Yecheng to preside over the military, but Yecheng already has an eldest son, and the lord does not need to go back immediately, on the contrary, the lord should stay here and prepare food and grass for the upcoming war. Conscription. It is far from the front line, and the news is not easy to leak, and the army of the imperial court will cross the river in the future. The lord led the Jing soldiers to suddenly kill, and it had the effect of a surprise soldier. ”

"Nonsense!" Frustrated, he spat on Guo Tu's face: "What kind of strange soldiers, how can tens of thousands of troops hide people's eyes?" It is more than 1,000 miles away from Yecheng. If something happens, it will take a month to march, how can it be in time? Lord, in my opinion, it's better to go back to Yecheng. Even if tens of thousands of troops come, as long as the lord is there, Yecheng will not lose his ability. ”

"If the lord is not here, can Yecheng be able to attack it?" Guo Tu sneered, "How can Jizhou be a county of Wei County?" Our army is newly defeated, and morale is low. It is just right to show the enemy with weakness and lure the enemy to go deeper. Let them stop their troops under Yecheng, and after a long battle, the soldiers will be tired, and the lord will kill the whole army again. to turn defeat into victory. ”

Yuan Shao heard the good news, Jing was excited, and his thoughts were much more active, he quickly analyzed Guo Tu's meaning, and understood that this was afraid that it was Liu Xiu's plan to lure him to go. It is safest to wait and see in Yi County for a period of time, so as not to find out about the plan when you want to, and it is too late to escape. Thinking of this, he coughed majestically: "Don't say it anymore, although Yecheng is very important, but the negotiation with the Hu people and the preparation of grain and grass are also very important, I am temporarily in Hejian and Anping to preside over the overall situation, presumably Xiansi has the assistance of Fengji and others in Yecheng, even if the enemy comes to attack, he can defend it." ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao had come to a conclusion, it was not easy to fight again, anyway, if Yuan Shao did not continue to flee north, he would already be very satisfied. He immediately asked Yuan Shao to go back to Cheju County for a while, but Yuan Shao laughed: "Zifu, I have already arrived in Yishui, why don't you go to Yixian?" Are you afraid that when I arrive in Yi County, it will affect your official business? ”

When he heard Yuan Shao say this, he couldn't refuse, so he had to ask Yuan Shao to stay in Yi County temporarily, and find an opportunity to persuade him to return to Yecheng. Yuan Shao entered Yi County, took a good bath, and ate a comfortable meal that had been rare for several months, and his mood gradually calmed down. He thought about it, but he still felt uneasy. Last time, Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo teamed up to create a rumor, set a trap, and buried his army of 80,000. Maybe Liu Xiu wanted to use a strategy to delay the army, lure him to Yecheng, cut off his back road first, and then suddenly attack. You must know that Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan are in Zhending, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are in Youbeiping and Liaodong, they may join forces at any time, recapture Youzhou, and block him in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao found Guo Tu and repeatedly told him that no matter what, he had to find out what the reason for Liu Xiu to leave Puyang and return to Jiangling was, and he must not be fooled again. Guo Tu knew that the stakes were important, so he didn't dare to be careless, he remembered Xi Zhicai in Luoyang again, and immediately sent someone to Luoyang with a handwritten letter, asking Xi Zhicai to find out the truth at all costs.

……

In Luoyang, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked into the palace of the king of Chu. The gatekeeper was taken aback when he saw the Tianzi Heimu Order in his hand, and hurriedly led him to the backyard and respectfully sent him in. Xi Zhicai went straight into the inner hall and saw Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, who was in a trance.

"The King."

"Zhicai, rare guests, sit down!" Liu Yuanqi greeted warmly, asked someone to prepare tea, and then covered the door with his hand, and looked at Xi Zhicai with a smile: "Is there news from Yuan Shao?" ”

"Hmm." Xi Zhicai responded briefly, and took out Guo Tu's secret letter: "Don't hide it from the king, I also want to find out what is going on." The prince didn't reveal any news to me before, was it a plan, or did he really turn his face with His Majesty? ”

Liu Yuanqi stroked his beard and thought for a while: "It may be both, or it may not be neither." ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Yuanqi puzzled, Liu Yuanqi waved his hand: "I haven't received accurate news so far, but I think it will arrive soon." However, it is always good to be able to keep Yuan Shao in Jizhou, so whether it is a plan or a real falling out, we must pass on news to Guo Tu according to this goal. He sighed, "I don't know what Deran is doing, it's making us all dizzy." ”

When Xi Zhicai saw Liu Yuanqi say this, he couldn't laugh or cry. However, he understood the meaning of Liu Yuanqi's words, no matter whether the Son of Heaven was afraid of Liu Xiu or not, it was imperative to kill Yuan Shao and pacify Jizhou, so he couldn't let him escape from Jizhou.

"That'...... Great King, what if His Majesty is really jealous of the prince? ”

Liu Yuanqi narrowed his eyes: "Well, I still want to hear what Deran means, and I can't answer you for a while." However, we need to stimulate him to stop being so hesitant and procrastinating. ”

Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
