When Yuan Shao woke up, it was already late at night, and there was no one else around him except Guo Tu and a few generals under his tent.

"Will ...... Lord! ”

Guo Tu took the first step, half-knelt in front of Yuan Shao's bed, and shouted, just about to call Yuan Shao "general" according to the usual practice, and immediately realized that it was no longer appropriate to shout like this now.

But when he came to his senses, he immediately felt that this title could not be more appropriate, and it was more suitable for the current situation than "Ming Gong".

The current situation, the court is weak, the princes from all over the country are rising, ambitious people, such as Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and others, have begun to hold back, wantonly expand shili, although the eighteenth princes have his share, Guo Tu is very skeptical, if the coalition army really enters Luoyang, he will obey the imperial court's edict.

What's more, at this point, can the Kwantung Coalition Army still be called a coalition army.

Surrounding the bed, it was Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Chun Yuqiong, who also knelt on the ground when they saw this, and shouted: "Lord! ”

Yuan Shao's heart was moved, and he struggled to sit up, but after several efforts, it was still to no avail, and Yan Liang was clever, jumped up, and helped Yuan Shao up.

"Get up, get up!"

Yuan Shao put his hands on his hands and beckoned Guo Tu and the three of them to get up.

His gaze swept over the faces of the four of them one by one, and he sighed with emotion: "Okay, you guys, very good, the army, what's wrong?" ”

At this time, Yuan Shaocai felt dizzy, weak, and sore.

Guo Tu replied first: "My lord, the doctor has come to check the pulse, and he said that the lord is overworked, and he is angry and angry, so that his qi and blood are unstable, and he instructs the lord to recuperate quietly and recuperate." ”

"Hmm!"

Yuan Shao closed his eyes, rested for a long time, and felt much better, before he opened his eyes and asked, "Who else is stationed here?" ”

Guo Tu didn't dare to answer the question at this time, concealed it and didn't report it, so he had to answer honestly: "All the generals are here, it's just ......"

Seeing Yuan Shao's eyes sweeping over majestically, Guo Tu was bold, although his voice was lowered, he no longer dared to spit out, and said: "Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, I have already gotten my mind, and there is no news from the rest of you." ”

Just listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shao immediately understood, and also confirmed what he was worried about, the Kwantung Coalition Army, to this day, can no longer be maintained, falling apart, is a foregone conclusion.

Strange to say, before this, he had been trying his best to mediate, trying to avoid this situation, but now, when this final outcome really came, he accepted it very calmly, and what was even more bizarre was that he was faintly relieved in his heart.

Because of relief, and feel relaxed, because of relaxation, and feel comfortable, if it weren't for the killing of his uncle's family, it was like the whole mountain pressing on his heart, making him always feel extremely heavy, and he really wanted to look up because of this.

Thinking of this, in front of his eyes, dozens of human heads once again appeared and flew down from the tiger prison, and he couldn't help but feel sad and tears rolled down.

When he learned that his uncle's family was locked by the Xiliang Army, he was angry, and when he waved the army westward, he was also worried, but he always felt that the imperial court would not treat his uncle's family with any problems, and to give up the entire coalition army and the position of the leader of the alliance for this reason would only become a joke in vain.

Now, he never expected that the Xiliang Army would be so frenzied, openly killing in front of the army, and wantonly insulting the important ministers of the Han Dynasty. What embarrassed him even more was that this move would make him blame, believing that it was because of him that his uncle's family was killed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was in a hurry, snorted lowly, and fainted again.

"Lord, lord!"

Guo Tu and the others were in a hurry, shouting for a long time, and when they saw Yuan Shao for a long time, they hurriedly shouted: "Hurry, quickly pass the doctor!" ”

After such a commotion, Yuan Shao's sleeping tent was immediately busy again.

The Tiger Prison was still noisy at this time, and the open space was full of roaring bonfires and fragrant broth.

The Kwantung coalition army came to attack the city with great fanfare, but as a result, was frightened back by dozens of heads, and the general of the cavalry, Li Jiyi, was happy, and once again lavishly rewarded the army, except for no wine, everyone should eat meat, and everyone has a share.

Li Wei personally set up a banquet and drank with the generals, but he still knew that the Kwantung Coalition Army was still outside the Guan, so the drinking was only slightly meaningful.

As soon as the feast was dispersed, Lu Bu returned to his residence, and as soon as he sat down, his soldiers came to report that someone had asked to see him.

Lu Bu was a little surprised, at this time, who would come to ask for a meeting. was groaning, and when he saw the visitor, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The one who came to ask for the meeting turned out to be the messenger who came here a few days ago, but it was sent by Situ Wang Yun and came by Taiyuan in a detour.

After greeting and sitting down, the person who came said calmly: "I am here to say goodbye to the envoy." ”

Lu Bu was even more surprised, and asked, "Well, what, are you going to return on your own?" ”

"It's not."

The visitor smiled confidently and replied, "The dust of the war here has settled, so that the king will send people to the north, and then he can accompany him below." ”

"Oh?! How do you think the war here is over? ”

"This, the envoy is taking the school exam?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cool air, he originally felt that this young messenger must not be simple, at that time, he forgot to ask his name and surname, and was melancholy for a long time, listening to his tone today, he can be so calm in front of him, and he has spoken in such a tone, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a messenger.

After thinking about it, at this time, I was not in a hurry to ask his name and surname, so I immediately pretended to be stupid, shook my head and said, "Of course not, I was curious." ”

"It makes Jun Yan smile."

The person who came still had a smile on his face, confidently stretched out his finger and pointed to the east, and said: "The coalition forces have returned in vain today, and there is no way to make a comeback. ”

Lu Bu daxiao, neither admitting nor denying it, asked: "Situ sent you here, if you really know how to make good use of it." By the way, I don't think you're a messenger either. ”

"Don't dare, my surname is Yang, my name is Xiu, and I haven't taken the word yet."

Yang Xiu!

Lu Bu thought silently in his heart, and couldn't help but be secretly taken aback, the young man in front of him turned out to be Yang Xiu, who was famous in the future? His father Yang Biao, grandfather Yang Ci, great-grandfather Yang Bing, and great-great-grandfather Yang Zhen are all in the position of Tai Lieutenant, and their family backgrounds can be described as prominent.

It is really unexpected that such a young talent with a prominent family background would be used by Wang Yun.

Wrong!

Lu Bu just realized in a blink of an eye, Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao, was in a high position at this time, without his approval, how could Yang Xiu become Situ Wang Yun's messenger?

In the middle of a deep groan, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Is it your intention to come this time, or is it the intention of Sikong?" ”

Yang Xiu did not hesitate at all, and simply replied: "Wang Situ needs someone to deliver a letter, and he is just about to return to Guanzhong from Luoyang, so my father will let him run this trip." ”

"I see, Situ and Sikong are really willing to spend their money!"

Yang Xiu smiled at Lu Bu's words and did not answer, but asked in a low voice: "This is the matter, is the envoy returning to Jinyang in the north, or going west to Luoyang?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Bu to answer, and hurriedly added: "This is a curious question, not the Guan family's father and Situ." ”

Lu Bu glared at Yang Xiu and asked, "What about returning to the north, and what about going west?" ”

Yang Xiu's eyes lit up, and even on his handsome face, under the light of the lamps and candles, Guan Ze also loomed, and replied without thinking: "If you return to the north, it will make you want to jump out of everything and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight; If you go west, then there will be a good show. ”

"Show?!"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and blurted out.

"Of course, as the saying goes: It is easier to please God than to send God, and it is very appropriate to use it at this time."

Lu Bu had no color on his face, but in his heart, he was already shocked.

He already knew that Yang Xiu was extremely talented, but according to history, he was more inclined to classify him as a smart person who was too showy, in the final analysis, he still thought that he was just a little smart, not as wise as Jia Xu. When I saw it today, I realized that the knowledge he brought from later generations still underestimated this young talent.

Today, the Kwantung Coalition Army retreated without a fight, and Yang Xiu decided that the Kwantung Coalition Army had no longer the possibility of doing anything, which was nothing in Lu Bu's opinion; But Yang Xiu said the sentence "It's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God", which shows that he also has a deep insight into the predicament that the Xiliang Army is about to face.

This is not the insight that he can hear when he is by Situ Wang Yun's side, or by Sikong Yang Biao's side, but his own insight and foresight.

Lu Bu had the advantage of being a prophet brought by later generations, as well as the accumulation of more than 2,000 years of experience, so that he had such a far-sighted insight into the fog of the past, and Yang Xiu could see so far-reaching.

What's even more rare is that he is only a teenager at this time, and he has not yet performed the crown salute, that is, he is less than twenty.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu was noncommittal, hahadaxiao, and teased: "Could it be that you are afraid of the majestic Taihang Mountain Road like a tiger, so you always want to fool me into taking you west back to Luoyang, so as not to suffer all the way?" ”

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered and said, "This, the envoy is laughing." ”

After talking for a while, Yang Xiu said goodbye and left, Lu Bu sat alone and was bored, walked out, unconsciously climbed the high wall, looked at the mountains and rivers shrouded in the bright moonlight, and looked at himself in a daze. Behind him, followed by Song Xian and Hou Cheng, and a dozen or so personal guards, all of them were as silent as wooden stakes.

The full moon in the sky is in the sky, swaying down the milky brilliance, shrouding thousands of mountains and waters, gilding it with a layer of milky white light armor.

The same moonlight shone on Lu Zhi, who was also sleepless, but the difference was that he was stationed on a low hill outside the camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army, looking at the majestic Tiger Prison Pass in the distance, with infatuation in his eyes.

In fact, in his heart, what he is looking at is not the Tiger Prison Pass, but the first city in the world, Luoyang.

The time he left Luoyang was less than a year, but in his heart, it was as if he had been gone for a long, long time, so far away that he desperately wanted to go back and take a look at Zuihou.

Behind him, there were also three horsemen, and the three of them stood beside the horses, which were his student Liu Bei, as well as Liu Bei's sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei seemed very patient, his mentor Lu Zhi didn't move, he just stood next to the horse, and he didn't move, and the second brother Guan Yu behind him didn't make any sound, but the third brother Zhang Fei didn't stop, he kept turning around to look left and right, and his left and right feet alternately stepped on broken steps.

After a long time, Liu Bei heard Lu Zhi sigh, hurriedly raised his head, and saw him beckoning.
