When Yuan Shao came to his senses, what he felt was not calm, but a bump, every bump made him jump up and fall on the bed board, and the bed board was hit by his body with a slight thump.

"Where is this?"

Yuan Shao's head was blank and heavy, and he had completely lost his usual lightness and strength, he opened his eyes, turned his head with difficulty, and what he saw was not a wide and bright hall, but a narrow, low carriage, the light through the curtain of the car, not bright at all, but even more dim.

"Lord, lord......"

Hearing such a shout with joy, Yuan Shao was shocked, because when he woke up just now, he didn't even notice that there were other people in the carriage.

It wasn't until the person's face appeared in front of Yuan Shao that Yuan Shao finally reacted, this was his advisor Xun Chen.

Xun Chen was originally a subordinate of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and he and Xin Ping played an extremely important role in persuading Han Fu to let Xian give Yuan Shao, who was then the Taishou of Bohai, so after Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he valued the two of them very much.

This expedition to Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xun Chen and Xin Ping were all taken by him for inquiry.

Just after opening his eyes for a while, Yuan Shao had already arrived a little dizzy, moaned in a low voice, and closed his eyes helplessly, looking extremely tired.

The carriage was still moving forward in bumps, Yuan Shaoyi closed his eyes, even though he was dizzy, he still thought of Puyang, Yanzhou, and Baimajin uncontrollably.

He was already sure that the carriage was carrying him to Baimajin, where he would be put on a ferry, north across the river, and then stuffed into the carriage again as far as Yecheng.

Involuntarily, Yuan Shao closed his eyes and sighed, looking extremely desolate. Dismal.

He couldn't have imagined that he had ambitiously led his army south years ago, but now he would have to lie down and return to Yecheng.

After a long time, Yuan Shaocai closed his eyes tightly and asked, "The battle situation, what is going on?" ”

"The lord and relax, after returning to Yecheng to recuperate, he will lead the army to fight Cao Cao!"

Hearing Xun Chen say this, Yuan Shao snorted dissatisfiedly. Xun Chen felt Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction. Ponder for a moment. I had to reluctantly say stubbornly: "Lord, General Wen, General Wen Chou led the army to an ambush and was defeated in battle. General Yan Liang was difficult to support alone, retreated to Puyang, and after our consultation, we all felt that the body of the lord's daughter was not suitable to stay in Puyang, so it was ......"

Xun Chen hesitated and didn't say any more, Yuan Shao's heart was already like ashes. There was no reaction or surprise at all.

Wen Chou, the general who had repeatedly surprised him, was killed in a battle, and Yan Liang led his army to defend the camp and was attacked by Cao's army. It's reasonable to be defeated, Zhang He, no, why is there no news of Zhang He?

Yuan Shao suddenly thought of this, opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Xun Chen, and asked, "What about Zhang He?" Where is Zhang He's army? ”

Xun Chen lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to look at Yuan Shao, and hesitated and replied in a low voice: "General Zhang He, the whereabouts are unknown......

"Missing?"

Yuan Shao was greatly surprised, it stands to reason that the three thousand foot soldiers led by Zhang He, although they are not elite soldiers, but they are not old, weak, sick and disabled, Wen Chou was defeated, Yan Liang was attacked by Cao's army, he received the news, and he should also lead the army to help, how could his whereabouts be unknown?

It's a pity that at this time, Yuan Shao's mind was dizzy, there was no ordinary clarity at all, and he never turned a corner, Xun Chen said this, in fact, it was equivalent to saying that Zhang He had led the army to the enemy.

However, Xun Chen said so cautiously, also because there were many rumors about the whereabouts of Zhang He and his 3,000 soldiers, one of the more credible ones was that Zhang He led the army to surrender to Cao Cao, but even this news has not been fully confirmed, and it is not as conclusive as the news of Wen Chou's death.

From Puyang to Baima, the distance is less than 100 miles, but Yuan Shao and his party are hastily evacuated from Puyang, carrying a lot of things and miscellaneous, not only Yuan Shao is lying down, can not bear the bumps, the tent of the strategists and civil officials, but also most of the frail literati, is not fast at all along the way, so that the senior cadres who guard Yuan Shao are so anxious that they stomp their feet, fearful, for fear that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders will suddenly catch up.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and Yuan Shao can be completely trusted, so when Yuan Shao goes there, he is guarded by Gao Gan's personal guards. His worry is actually a bit redundant, at this time, if Cao Cao wants to defeat Yan Liangbu after defeating Wen Chou, it is impossible for the tiger and leopard cavalry to be drawn out and come to hunt down Yuan Shao.

In the twilight, when the lights of Bai Majin were far away, Gao Gan was greatly relieved.

The brigade galloped into Baimajin, and the senior cadres did not hesitate to arrange the crossing of the river, even though the boatmen repeatedly insisted that it was too unsafe to cross the river after nightfall, and the senior cadres still went their own way and forced the boatmen to prepare the boats.

If you want to cross the river, it's not as simple as sending Yuan Shao over, but first sending half of the guards, and then sending Yuan Shao and others over, more than a thousand people, no matter what, it will take several hours.

It was busy until the hour when Yuan Shao was lying on the soft couch, and then he was carried on the ferry by the guards, and Gao Gan personally accompanied him, plus the guards of the guards, as well as Xun Chen and others, more than 20 people slowly sailed off the shore with the ferry and headed to the north bank of the river.

Baimajin has always been the most important ferry between Jizhou and Yanzhou, covering the wide surface of the big river, indicating that the river flows very smoothly, and when there is no wind and waves, the river surface is so smooth that it is difficult to see that the water is flowing.

However, at this time, it is the end of summer, and although the river does not swell as in the summer, it is also turbid and turbid, and the waves are continuous.

Fortunately, the night breeze was blowing, and the ferry was very wide, swaying in the waves, not very powerful, but Gao Gan was still very worried, his left hand tightly supported the soft couch of the lord Yuan Shao, and his right hand held a long knife, and his eyes kept patrolling back and forth, for fear of missing something suspicious.

Until the ferry docked smoothly, Gao Gan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly commanded the guards, carrying the soft couch of the lord Yuan Shao, and he himself took three guards to open the way in person, and walked along the bamboo road that had been built, and went to the shore.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

On the shore, the five boatmen who assisted in carrying the bamboo planks to build the bridge suddenly pulled out their long knives from under the bamboo planks, and without shouting, they rushed towards the soft couch silently.

"Bold! Guardian Lord! ”

Gao Gan's voice was full of expression, and he shouted loudly, but the latter sentence showed that he had reacted, and it was all at this time. Since these assassins dared to make a move at this time, they didn't take the lord Yuan Shao and him in their eyes at all, and scolded them, isn't that equivalent to playing the piano to the cow.

So his last sentence was to yell at the guards, reminding them to hurry up and escort them!

The timing of the assassin's launch was very particular, at this time, although Yuan Shao had many personal guards before and after. But half of them were waiting on the shore. There were more than a dozen people on the ferry. has not yet landed, and was blocked by Yuan Shao's soft couch and the eight people carrying the soft couch, and he couldn't come for a while.

And what's even worse is that Yuan Shao's soft couch is on the bridge made of bamboo planks at this time. It's not deep water underfoot, but if you fall down, it's not a problem.

Although Yuan Shao's personal guards were numerous, in such a delicate situation, they became three personal guards with a high cadre rate, against five assassins, and as for the eight personal guards carrying soft couches, they couldn't spare their hands at all.

"Kill!"

Gao Gan took three guards and went forward step by step. Behind them, eight guards carried soft couches and followed in unison, and the guards on the boat and on the shore did not dare to rush onto the bamboo plank road for a while. For fear that there would be too many people, the bamboo board would break, or it would fall too upside down and fall into the river.

On the other hand, the five Assassins, dressed in the short-sleeved clothes of the shipwrights, were silent, three in front of two behind, and killed along the bamboo plank, just looking at their steps on the ground, you knew that they had already adapted to such a turbulence.

Drink!

Gao Gan took the first step, the long knife slashed, the three assassins did not flinch, the two on both sides each took out their long knives, crossed together, and held Gao Gan's long knife, the assassin in the center paused slightly, and then the long knife was like a poisonous snake out of a hole, from under the long knife that the three of them stirred together, lightning stabbed Gao Gan's lower abdomen.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Gao Gan retreated step by step, and the three guards behind him couldn't dodge for a while, and collided with him, one of them didn't keep his balance, exclaimed, and fell.

Before Gao Gan could gain a firm foothold, the three long knives of the three assassins were already shining and swept in.

In desperation, Gao Gan had no choice but to retreat again, and before he could retreat three steps, there was an exclamation behind him.

Gao Gan was in a hurry, seeing that he was irresistible, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his head, and he shouted loudly: "Go back, go back, go back!" ”

At this time, he remembered that in addition to forcibly going ashore, the soft couch of the lord Yuan Shao could also choose to retreat to the ferry, where there were more than ten personal guards, which could completely protect the lord Yuan Shao's thoughtfulness.

But the problem is that the eight guards carrying the soft couch are scolding him in their hearts at this time, how can they turn around in such a narrow passage to carry the soft couch back to the boat.

"Jump!"

At this time, Yuan Shao's low shout came, like a bright light in the dark night, shining in everyone's eyes, without waiting for the senior cadres to speak, among the eight personal guards, someone was already giving orders: "Follow me, jump!" ”

Jumping down, that is, only a few feet high, is either shallow water, or river mud, and no one can die at all. But the passage is let out, and the guards on the shore and on the ship can rest assured and boldly come forward to fight the guards.

"Defend the lord, kill!"

Gao Gan knew that at this time, he couldn't jump, regrouped, and brandished a long knife to kill him, but he didn't expect that the three assassins reacted faster than him, and the momentum of killing was more than him.

That's not all, the two assassins who had been dragging behind just now exerted their strength at the same time, rose into the air, and killed the soft couch of the lord Yuan Shao.

"Lord!"

Gao Gan was shocked and shouted loudly, but he was facing three long knives at this time, and he could not protect himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two assassins like flying eagles, and the lord Yuan Shao, at this time, was like a little chick with no protective ability, looking so fragile and helpless.

On the shore, on the boat, shouting to kill the sky, a group of guards have swarmed up.

Poof!

Gao Gan heard a muffled sound, his eyes went dark, and he jumped to the side with all his might, and when he fell into the river mud, his head muttered: "Lord, you must not be fine!" ”
