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

"Liu Bei! Lie to me too much! At this time, Xiahou Yuan's face was flushed, his steel teeth were about to be crushed, and the symptoms on his body had dissipated without a trace at some point.

Xiahou Yuan was notoriously violent and perverse in Cao's army, and if he was angry, half of the military camp would have to move three times.

Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was so angry, the generals in the hall lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, but in their hearts they were complaining from the boss.

Which bastard wrote the letter?

He tried to be happy, but it was those of us who suffered, and we had to pick him up and peel the skin of the person who wrote the letter.

The deputy general who read the letter was already kneeling on the ground and begging for death at this moment, no matter how domineering Xiahou Yuan was, it was naturally not good for him to continue reading.

glanced back and forth at the generals in the hall, but saw that all the partial generals and lieutenants hurriedly raised their heads to the roof of the shed one by one, silently ignoring them.

Xiahou Yuan himself didn't bother to read the letter, the problem was that his niece was mentioned in it, and it was not good if he didn't finish reading it, and after scanning the crowd, he finally fell on Liu Beijun's envoy who sent the letter.

"You!"

Xiahou Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the messenger, gritted his teeth and said: "The letter you sent, you read it to Ben Jiang, otherwise Ben will cut you!" ”

Liu Bei's envoy didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly picked up the book Jian Ji from the ground, and continued with the words just now: "Xiahou barbarian, do you know who your dumb niece was kidnapped? That's right, she's in our Runan City right now! ”

Xiahou Yuan's face suddenly became dark, and a pair of wolf eyes flashed with gloom, faintly as if he had moved to kill.

The messenger sweated on his forehead, and continued intermittently, "Do you want to send troops to save her?" Then hurry up and save it, if you don't save it, it's really too late, it's a little dangerous a few days ago, our General Zhang is already very interesting to her, but because I don't want to be your niece and son-in-law, I really didn't dare to do it, but I guess he may not be able to hold it for too long, you'd better hurry up, if you don't delay it for a year and a half, you just rescue her, and you may have to bring a big nephew"

"Enough!" Xiahou Yuan raised his hand suddenly, and then pointed at the messenger and said, "Drag him down and behead the sacrificial flag!" ”

"Huh?" When the envoy heard this, his legs immediately weakened, he knelt on the ground, and cried: "General Xiahou, didn't you just say that as long as I read the letter, you won't kill me?" ”

Xiahou Yuan snorted heavily: "Ridiculous! Ben just said that if you don't read the letter, I will cut you, but he didn't say that if you read the letter, I won't kill you! Drag it down, drag it down! ”

The messenger was sweating profusely, and when he was dragged by the sword and axeman, he cried out loudly: "The two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed!" Don't cut it! ”

In fact, it is not to blame Xiahou Yuan for being ruthless, seeing this kind of letter, it is impossible for anyone to spare the messenger who sent the letter, this messenger is to blame, and he can only blame Yuan Shang's bastard writing is really rotten and annoying.

Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and watched as the messenger was dragged out of the hall to be killed, then turned his head to look at the generals in the hall, and said: "Immediately order all the generals, the three armies will come out together, I will set foot in Runan, capture Liu Bei alive, skin and cramp this big-eared thief, and hang it high above the city!"

The lieutenants under Xiahou Yuan's command suddenly changed color when they heard this.

I saw a person hurriedly out of the class and admonished: "General Xiahou, although the young lady was obtained by Liu Jun, but the general is the commander of the three armies, and he must not be burdened by personal feelings. ”

Xiahou Yuan sneered a few times when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, although the general is nervous because of Juan'er's matter, but Liu Bei's little trick can't escape the general's eyes, he kidnapped me Juan'er, it is nothing more than that he doesn't want to forcibly attack the city, and wants to force me to send troops to fight him in the plains. ”…,

The people under the account looked back and forth when they heard the words, and they didn't know what they meant, Xiahou Yuan knew Liu Bei's thoughts, why did he still do things like this?

But seeing Xiahou Yuan said slowly: "Liu Bei's number of soldiers and horses, I know, its thieves are about 30,000, and I recently heard that the thieves of Hebei Fraud Siege Xudu merged with it and were in Runan, and it would not exceed 40,000 in the future, such troops are not enough to attack my Yingchuan, but if you confront me head-on, but you have the strength to fight, how can I not understand the intention of this big-eared thief?" It's a pity that Cao Ren is stationed in Wancheng at the moment, and his soldiers and horses are all elites, if he is invited to send troops together, how can Liu Bei be an opponent? ”

When the generals heard this, it was no wonder that General Xiahou Yuan was so confident, but it turned out that he thought of sending troops to General Cao Ren in two ways!

But seeing Xiahou Yuan looking back and forth at everyone, he continued: "Liu Bei is the hero of the world, this point has been said by the lord in the past, and now the lord is undecided with Yuan Shao and Zhou Xuan in the north, and all things in the south naturally need to be shared by us for the prime minister, Liu Bei stole from Runan, and has been unsubdued for a long time, sooner or later it will be a disaster, I take this opportunity this time, one is to save Juan'er, the other is to pacify the southern trouble, and the third is to kill Liu Bei, except for a big enemy for the lord, this battle is the trend of the times, all the princes do not doubt, just go all out to fight the battle!" ”

When the generals heard this, they bowed their hands one after another: "No! ”

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

In this way, when Liu Bei's side was arranging the soldiers and horses camp in Yeyuan with great fanfare, Cao's army was also divided into two routes, one was that Xiahou Yuan personally led his troops south, and went straight to Runan, and the other was Cao Ren's soldiers and horses, who received Xiahou Yuan's letter, flocked to Liu Bei's army from west to east.

The place where the soldiers and horses of the three parties converge is in Yeyuan, and the battle over the ownership of Yuzhou will break out here.

And it was at this time that a group of more than 100 soldiers and horses quietly rushed from the land of Runan to Jiuli Mountain, and the leader was none other than Yuan Shang.

Cao, Liu, and Yuan were about to start a big battle in Yeyuan, but Yuan Shang quietly lurked in Jiuli Mountain, not for anything else, just to secondment Lu Lingqi's thieves, and at a critical moment, they could stab Xiahou Yuan in the back!

The dagger that secretly passed the poison was sometimes far stronger than the extremely hard giant sword in front of it, which Yuan Shang was convinced of.

At this time, the rainy season has just passed, Jiuli Mountain is already everywhere wet mud, the river from the top of the mountain, clear and sweet trickle, meandering in the mountain, and then merging into a small stream river, running to the east.

Although the mountain road is dangerous, but it is not high, you can lead the horse up, Yuan Shang and other more than 100 horsemen led the horse, striding slowly up the mountain, but no one intercepted along the way, I couldn't help but wonder.

It stands to reason that Jiuli Mountain is the nest of Lu Lingqi and her group, and more than 100 people from their own side have come up, but they haven't even been on the road for a long time, isn't it a little too strange?

In everyone's imagination, thieves like Lu Lingqi should be more than a hundred times stronger than ordinary people in terms of security awareness! Otherwise, there is no way to be a thief.

Yuan Shang was strange in his heart, according to this situation, either Lu Lingqi and her birthday star were tired of hanging, and they wanted to find some excitement to pick a child, break the jar and fall in love.

Either that, or something terrible has happened on the mountain!

was thinking about it, but saw a group of thieves with knives suddenly flashing out halfway up the mountain, all fierce and vicious, looking at Yuan Shang and them quite vigilantly.

However, when the leading thief saw Yuan Shang's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with joy: "Yuan Sangongzi!" ”

Yuan Shang recognized this leading man as an important leader under Lu Lingqi, if he remembered correctly, he should be called Chen Lan.

When Chen Lan saw Yuan Shang, Shicai's fierce expression suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Third prince, why are you here?!" I was just a moment of carelessness, and I almost got into a fight with you! ”…,

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the opportunity to return to Hebei is coming, I'm thinking about it to see if your big boss has packed up and stopped, so let's go back to Yecheng together!" ”

Chen Lan smiled heartily when he heard this: "Don't worry, the third son, since I returned to Jiuli Mountain to distribute grain for the people, I have been packing up my belongings, ready to wait for the third prince to transfer his life at any time, and return to Hebei with you!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's good, remember to move everything to Hebei with pots and pots." When the time comes, it will not be fast, so that Cao Jun will catch up, and it will not be cost-effective to steal chickens and rice. ”

Chen Lan shook his head and said: "The third prince said that it was funny, we are a group of poor thieves, where did we get so many belongings, just prepare some sinking rice and water wine for eating and drinking, and it will be okay if we can get to Hebei!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded, and said, "By the way, is your cottage going yellow or what?" Why is it like it's closed, I walked all the way up, and I didn't even see a ghost except for you? Your leader is too irresponsible, the garrison is lax, if I am the local captain in charge of the army, give me 300 men, and I can finish your old nest in half an hour. ”

Chen Lan's face tightened when he heard this, and said: "The third prince doesn't know, an hour ago, another group of thieves led the troops to the cottage, saying that there was something important to discuss with the big boss, and the crowd was quite fierce, and the big boss was afraid of chaos, so he called the brothers who guarded the mountain back to the cottage to take care of it. ”

Yuan Shang was curious when he heard this: "Your big leader is known as the red-clothed thief of Jiuli Mountain, isn't it very beautiful in this Yan and Henan Prefectures?" How can there be a thief who is more fierce than her? ”

Chen Lan nodded when he heard this, and said: "The momentum of the people coming is quite large, even the big leader has to be careful, I don't know the third son, have you ever heard of Chaohu's Changfeng?" ”
