"Why does this kid look so similar to Yuan Shao when he was young!"

Xun Yu had been a staff member under Yuan Shao's account in his early years, and he was naturally very clear about Yuan Shao's voice and appearance.

Xun Yu was surprised, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and a bad thought began to linger in his mind.

This young descendant, he shouldn't be the son of Yuan Shao, right?

It's not that he Xun Yu is afraid of Yuan Shao's stinking son, it's just that he has a deep understanding of Yuan Shao, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

Xun Yu knew when he worked for Yuan Shao in his early years, Yuan Shao has always been a well-known calf protector, and even more so when he is older, this Hebei overlord seems to be arrogant on weekdays, but it is really a treasure for the children under his knees.

In the four states of Hebei, Yuan Shao left his favorite third son Yuan Shang by his side and Jizhou with him, and Qingzhou, Youzhou, and the three states were all handed over to two sons and one nephew.

Yuan Tan guarded Qingzhou, Yuan Xi guarded Youzhou, and Gao Gan guarded and merged the state, and the ruling power of the entire Hebei was shrouded under the Yuan family.

In Xun Yu's view, this is the fundamental way to take chaos! But it can also be seen that Yuan Shao's attention and trust in the family are much higher than those of other princes.

If this kid is Yuan Shao's son, according to Yuan Shao's character of protecting the calf to the extreme, it is for the safety of his son, and this battle will definitely not give no soldiers and horses.

In this way, I am afraid that Xu Du is in danger!

After clarifying the thoughts in his head, Xun Yu's face immediately turned correct, and he shouted at Yuan Shang under the city: "The generals in the army, can you report your name?" ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard this, good guy, just asked the point!

"Well said! I am today's general, the son of General Yuan of Jizhou, and Yuan Shang, the third son of Jizhou! ”

Xun Yu was sad for a while when he heard this, sure enough!

I'm really afraid of what, Yuan Shao's third son Yuan Shang, no one in the world knows that Yuan Shao loves this son alone, this time even this kid has gone to the battlefield, and the soldiers and horses who conquered Xu Du must be extremely strong!

With a long sigh, Xun Yu turned his head to the attendant officer and whispered: "Order all the soldiers to patrol day and night, defend the city well, and don't let the Yuan army have any gaps. ”

"No!"

******************

In less than half an hour's effort, the north gate of Xudu immediately opened a line, and more than ten fast horses galloped out, each running east and west, interspersed with various main roads, or taking the big road, or walking the mountains and forests, or walking the sheep intestine path, flying like running to the north.

The news was quickly investigated by Yuan Jun's scouts and quickly reported to Yuan Shang.

After Yuan Shang learned the news, he couldn't help but smile: "Did you finally send someone to report the news?" One faction also sent Lu to more than ten horses, and Cao Jun's work efficiency is really outrageous, good, very good! Ordered all the soldiers of the department, the city is not fighting, let's withdraw! ”

Zhang Jaw stepped forward and said to Yuan Shang: "Xu Du sent a sentry to inform Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's speed of using troops, I am afraid that I will return in an instant, and I will inevitably block all the roads to the north, Gongzi, how should we retreat this time?" ”

Yuan Shang restrained his joy when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, Cao Cao's army rushed back, we want to go back along the original road, I'm afraid it's unlikely, General Zhang knows what road Lu Dao can return to Hebei?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jaw took out a small leather map from his arms, slowly spread it out in front of Yuan Shang, pointed to the winding roads everywhere on the map, and said: "In addition to going straight from Guandu to Baima Ferry, there are two other roads to go, one is to take the Guanzhong Road, passing through the land between the rivers to the high trunk of Bingzhou, and the other is passing through Xuzhou, passing through Beihai, to Yuan Tan, the eldest prince of Qingzhou. ”…,

Yuan Shang touched his chin and thought about it when he heard this, and then said: "The land in the middle of the pass is too difficult, and the pass is towering, which is not conducive to the march of so many of our cavalry. ”

At this time, Gao Ran also came to Yuan Shang on a horse, and when he heard this, his mouth cracked, and he said with some sadness: "But the third son, let's take a detour to Xuzhou to return to Hebei, the distance is too far, this time the light cavalry sneak attack on Xuchang, the soldiers of the three armies each only brought seven days of dry food, but I am afraid that it may not be enough, and I can't reach Hebei."

"Not enough dry food?" Yuan Shang's face was slightly darker when he heard this.

After thinking for a while, he saw Yuan Shang shaking his head and said: "If it's not enough, it's not enough, let's find a way halfway, in short, order the three armies, immediately integrate the troops, and the whole army will retreat in the direction of Xuzhou." ”

"No!"

The second general was ordered to turn his horse away, and just after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard Yuan Shang shouting loudly again: "Wait!" ”

The second general turned his head suspiciously and looked at Yuan Shang curiously.

"We can't leave in a hurry yet, we still have one more business to do."

***********************

Shang Shuling Mansion.

Xun Yu wrote the letter of urgency and copied more than ten copies, and then selected more than ten shrewd soldiers in the army, ordered them to hold a copy each, and set off quickly.

After everything was done smoothly, Xun Yu sat down with a long sigh of relief, rubbing his tired forehead, and his heart was slightly relieved.

More than ten horsemen rushed letters, starting from different directions and roads, no matter how bad it is, there should be one sent to Cao Cao's hands, right?

Just one letter! As long as one letter is delivered, all problems will be solved.

Xun Yu was pondering it, when he suddenly heard another sound of footsteps outside the door.

But it was the attendant who rushed into the study in a hurry, and bowed to Xun Yu in a hurry, and said, "Lingjun! Xun Lingjun! ”

Xun Yu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly turned his head, and asked the attendant with a heavy look: "What?" Isn't it that Yuan's army has begun to attack the city? ”

The attendant officer shook his head and said to Xun Yu with a strange expression: "Ling Jun, the big thing is very strange!" After our army's sentinels rushed out, the momentum of Yuan's army was not as arrogant as just now, and the dust in the forest in the distance was gone, just surrounding the four gates, resting on the ground, and not attacking the city, I don't know what to do."

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this.

After a while, Fang saw that this personable Shang Shuling suddenly slapped the table, and sighed to himself: "I was careless for a while, and I fell into the plan of Huangkou Xiaoer's tree to bloom, it is really ridiculous, quickly take the bamboo slips, I want to write a letter to the lord again, ask him not to send troops to save Xu Du!" ”
