Zhou Yu took the letter sent by Gongsun Chan in Liu Bei's hand and said, "Gongsun Chan's trip is probably in vain. ”

Liu Bei groaned: "Yuan Shao wants to be treacherous? ”

Zhou Yu handed the letter in his hand to everyone in the hall, nodded and said, "Actually, Yuan Shao never thought about sharing Jizhou with Gongsun Chan from the beginning, at most he just used Gongsun Chan. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family, there are many protégés and former officials, and the hearts of the people in Jizhou are towards Yuan but not to Han. But Han Fu is the lord of Jizhou, if Yuan Shao sends troops to capture Jizhou, it will be the following move, which is like a stalemate, and Gongsun Chan is a point at which Yuan Shao breaks the deadlock. ”

"Did Han Fu sense Yuan Shao's wolf ambitions?"

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Bei and shook his head and said: "Even if Han Fu notices it, it is useless, judging from the previous incident of sending grain and grass to Yuan Shao, I know that Han Fu is indecisive, timid and afraid of things." Although he is the lord of Jizhou, he has always called himself the former official of the Yuan family, how can such an act become a big thing. ”

"This time, there is Gongsun Zhan's military deterrence, and Han Fu has no defense against Yuan Shao at all, and Yuan Benchu is afraid that he will take Jizhou without much effort."

"Do you need a letter from Brother Bogui to explain the current situation?"

"From the moment Gongsun Chan was ready to go south, he had already entered the game, and now it is useless to write to the past."

"Brother, now we need to prepare for war, if Gongsun Chan learns that he was played by Yuan Benchu, Jizhou will be a sword soldier!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu and nodded, then looked at Jian Yong: "Xianhe, I don't know how the recruitment of volunteers in various parts of the plain is during this time?" ”

Jian Yong stood up when he heard Liu Bei's words, and his free and easy face on weekdays was a little haggard at this time: "All families are basically unwilling to send troops to help, and they have only recruited less than five hundred." ”

Zhang Fei heard Jian Yong's words and stood up directly: "Hmph, when Xianhe recruits troops next time, I will go with you, and I don't dare to help them." ”

Liu Bei motioned for Zhang Fei to sit down, now the source of soldiers in various places is basically controlled by the family, and less than five hundred is already rare, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"But this matter is not in a hurry, after the matter of Jizhou is over, let's talk about it with those families."

"Yun Chang, you still have a lot of work to do with military training."

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter in mind."

Seeing that it was about to end, Jian Yong thought about it and stood up: "Although this recruitment is not ideal, I found a northern handsome man who wants to introduce one or two to the lord." ”

When Liu Bei heard Jian Yong's words, he stopped and smiled: "Then let's not leave first, let's meet the northland handsome man Xianhe said together, so as to show our attention." ”

Jian Yong heard Liu Bei's words, and then shouted outside the door: "Guorang, come in." ”

……

And Xun Chen, Feng Ji and his party also came to Nanpi with Han Fu's documents, and before entering the city, Yuan Shao led everyone to greet them.

Xun Chen saw Yuan Shao and hurriedly got out of the carriage: "Xun Chen meets Yuan Gong!" ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Xun Chen saluting him, and stepped forward to hold Xun Chen's hand: "Youruo, I look forward to you for a long time." ”

When everyone entered the city and sat down, Xun Chen handed over the documents in his arms: "Gongsun Zan raised troops to invade the border of Jizhou for no reason, and I have heard that Yuan Gong is righteous, and my lord is willing to serve Yuan Gong as the lord of Jizhou, and I hope that Yuan Gong can send troops to save him." ”

Yuan Shao stood up and slapped the document on the table: "If the son is still in the hands of Dong thieves today, Gongsun Zhan disregarded the righteousness, used swords and soldiers in vain, and bullied his allies. I will send troops against such unrighteous acts! ”

"Pass my general order, order 50,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately send troops to Jizhou!"

When everyone retreated, only Xun Chen stayed: "This matter is long Shi Gengwu, don't drive Guan Chunduo to oppose it, Yuan Gong must be careful of these two people when he goes to Jizhou, in case he is not compassionate." ”

Yuan Shao didn't care about what Xun Chen said, what kind of wind and waves could the two of them can afford, looked at Xun Chen and said with a smile: "Youruo, are you willing to come to my command to share my worries?" ”

"Willing to serve Ming Gong!"

......

At this time, in Jizhou, Geng Wu, Guan Chun and his party were also discussing how to kill Yuan Benchu: "Presumably Xun Chen's ministers have already seen Yuan Benchu, but it's a pity that I didn't get anyone on this trip." ”

Hearing Guan Chun's words, Geng Wu just smiled coldly: "Hmph, at this time, everyone in Jizhou is looking forward to Yuan Shao's arrival, and it's too late for them to avoid me, so how can they help me." But why do you need a lot of people to kill a thief, just a sharp blade in your hand."

"If Yuan Benchu enters the city, Jizhou will rest. At that time, we will also be expelled, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to kill Yuan Benchu. I would like to hide our guests outside the city, disguise ourselves as soldiers to meet Yuan Shao, and kill Yuan Shao when he is unprepared. ”

"It's okay for me to die, but if we can provoke Jun and Yuan Shao to turn against each other, it will be enough."

At this time, in the Yecheng Mansion, Han Fu was summoning his advisor Xin Ping: "Changshi Gengwu, don't drive Guan Chun, what are you doing these days?" ”

"Returning to the envoys, they have been closed for the past few days, and there has been no change."

Hearing Xin Ping's report, Han Fu also sighed slightly: "Alas, it's better to be stable..."

……

A few days later, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses also rushed to the vicinity of Yecheng after a night of travel, and Geng Wu and Guan Chun also waited here for a long time.

"Changshi, why are you here?"

Hearing Yuan Shao's inquiry, Geng Wu's face did not change, and he said respectfully: "Today, on the order of the envoy, I am here to greet the general." I also ask the general to allow us to be included in the ranks for guidance. ”

Seeing that he was about to enter Yecheng, Yuan Shao didn't want to have more rights and wrongs at this time. However, he suddenly remembered what Xun Chen had said to him before, and couldn't help but move his gaze to Xun Chen, only to see Xun Chen looking at himself and shaking his head slightly.

Seeing Xun Chen's situation, Yuan Shao already had a bottom in his heart, looked at Geng Wu and said, "I'm afraid that you are waiting to welcome me to be fake, and killing me is true!" ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene changed instantly, and Geng Wu said angrily: "I am also a famous person in Jizhou, and I am sincerely here to welcome me, why is the general suspicious of me!" ”

Xun Chen next to him was about to say something, but unexpectedly, Geng Wu pointed his finger at himself: "If this person is playing right and wrong in front of the general, then why should we be humiliated here, and please forgive the general for retiring!" ”

Seeing that Geng Wu and his party were about to leave, Yuan Shao was also a little uncertain, and when he saw that Yan Liangwen had already arrived at his side, he shouted: "Changshi is angry, I joked before, and I asked Changshi to enter the city with me." ”

Xun Chen was shocked by Geng Wu's words before, and at this time, seeing Geng Wu and his party approaching, he regained his consciousness: "Slow! Can Changshi carry Han Envoy's token on this trip? Please advise on it! ”

When Geng Wu heard Xun Chen's words, his face changed slightly, knowing that he might not be able to hide it. looked at the distance he was still a few steps away from Yuan Shao, and forcibly restored his coldness: "The token is on me, so I'll show it to the general." ”

However, Geng Wu only found out at this time that he could no longer get half a step closer to Yuan Shao, and a general was between him and Yuan Shao. He was looking at himself indifferently.

Geng Wu closed his eyes slightly, hoping that Han Fu would not let himself down again. The reins of the horse in his hand were pulled hard, and the war horse under him was suddenly forced, and rushed straight forward.

At the same time, Geng Wu pulled out the long knife he pinned to his waist and wanted to kill Yuan Shao, but before he could get close, a spear stabbed him.

Xun Chen looked at Geng Wu who fell to the ground, and then looked at Guan Chun and the others, who had been surrounded by the army, and sighed slightly: "Don't get off the horse, Geng Wu is dead, don't do useless work anymore." ”

Guan Chun looked at Xun Chen with an angry face, if it wasn't for this person's reminder just now, how could Yuan Shao react, and shouted angrily: "If the husband dies, he will die, why do you need to steal your life!" ”

After speaking, he drew his sword and rushed to Xun Chen: "Traitor's minister, I swear to kill you!" ”

Wen Chou looked at Yuan Shao, only to see Yuan Shao nodding, Yue immediately stepped forward and slashed Guan Chun under the horse, and the rest of the doormen were also wiped out by the army in an instant.

Xun Chen walked in front of Yuan Shao: "These two have worked with me for many years, and please allow me to clean up their corpses." ”

"Today's behavior is about the spontaneous behavior of the two people, and I also ask Ming Gong to enter the city quickly, and it will change later."

……

In the city of Jizhou, Han Fu summoned his advisers and generals in the shortest possible time: "Today, Geng Wu and Guan Chun pretended to use my order to assassinate Yuan Benchu outside the city, and they have been killed, what can I do?" ”

Fu Zhu also came back recently, and after hearing the news that Han Fu was going to give way to Yuan Shao, he came over to persuade him, but it could only be useless. Han Fu has such a personality, it is better to leave early in this troubled world, and you can also try to be stable.

However, at this time, looking at Han Fu's anxious appearance, Fu Zhu still did his duty to stand up: "Now that Yuan Shao has led the army here, the intention of plotting against my Jizhou has been clearly revealed, whether it is war or peace, I hope that the lord will make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"Gonghe, why is it difficult for me!"

Hearing Han Fu's words, he lost his temper in an instant, he never thought that Han Fu could say this: "Geng Wu assassinated Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao suspects the lord, then the lord is in danger." ”

"If there is a war, Yuan Shao originally wanted to enter Jizhou on this trip, and there will not be much food and grass with the army, and we only need to resist for a few days, and the crisis will be solved."

Han Fu said with a little hesitation: "Wouldn't that offend Ben Yuan, if he and Gongsun Chan attack me together, what should I do?" ”

Frustrated and sighed slightly: "The lord can go to the city gate to greet Yuan Shao in person to show the sincerity of the lord, and it is worry-free to come." ”

Han Fu was pacing back and forth in the room, while the others were silent at this time, they were waiting for Han Fu's decision. Han Fu finally sat down weakly: "Open the city gate, and please go with me to the outside of the city to greet Ben Chu." ”

When he was about to walk out of the mansion, Han Fu suddenly stopped and said to the frustrated professor on the side: "Geng Wu, Guan Chun died because of me, go find their wives and children, give some money and send them out of the city, don't let them suffer anymore." ”

"I can only rest assured if this matter is handed over to you."

Frustrated Professor looked at Han Fu's figure walking away, and his heart was a little complicated for a while, this may be the most correct thing Han Fu has done recently...

……

At this time, Yuan Shao was already approaching Yecheng, and there was another wave of people in front of Yuan Shao, who was Han Fu and his party who went out of the city to greet him.

Yuan Shao looked at the city entrance and Han Fu and the others who had been wide open, but he didn't get off the horse.

Seeing this scene, Han Fu didn't understand, and walked to Yuan Shao's horse: "I was sincere and gave way to the beginning, but I didn't expect to be careless for a while, and I almost made a big mistake. ”

Hearing Han Fu's words, Yuan Shao dismounted and picked up the bowed Han Fu: "What's wrong with Wenjie, what's wrong with Wenjie?" ”

Han Fu's face regained a little expression, beckoned to the person behind him, and picked up the mark on the tray: "This is the mark of Jizhou Mu, which is dedicated to the beginning, and I hope that the original can save the people of Jizhou from fire and water." ”

Yuan Shao took the mark in Han Fu's hand, and said: "Yuan Shao swears here, he will not let foreign thieves invade my Jizhou border, and please rest assured." ”

"A banquet has been prepared in the city, and it was hard to come all the way from afar, so it is better to go to the city to reward the three armies."

Hearing Han Fu's words, Yuan Shao got on the horse again and looked behind him: "Soldiers, follow me into the city!" ”

……

After a banquet, Yuan Shao pulled Han Fu beside him and said: "Now the monarch gives way to me, I want to be the general of the imperial court, I don't know how?" ”

"But by the original."

Han Fu drank the wine in the cup, and felt a little bitter for a while: The imperial court? Where did the court come from in this world, the so-called Fenwei general is not as good as a county order in Jizhou...

Yuan Shao looked at the audience again: "Now I have just arrived in Jizhou, and I am looking for celebrities to rule together, I wonder if you are willing to work for me?" ”

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, and Feng Ji glanced at each other, and said in unison: "I am willing to serve Ming Gong!" ”

Yuan Shao listened to the unanimous voice of everyone in the audience and felt extremely satisfied: "This is very good!" ”

……

"General, I wonder if you can give me a while?"

Han Fu looked at Xun Chen who suddenly appeared with a puzzled expression, but still asked Xun Chen to get into the car.

When he got out of the mansion, Xun Chen suddenly knelt on the ground: "Chen Telai came to ask the general for his guilt, but he never thought that Yuan Benchu was such a wolf with ambition. ”

Han Fu looked at Xun Chen, who suddenly knelt down, and was also startled: "If you ask for it quickly, what is wrong with you, it is all my fault." ”

After Xun Chen sat down again, he looked at Han Fu and said, "I thought that Yuan Benxin had just arrived in Jizhou, and he would definitely take the high position of general to appease people's hearts, but I didn't expect that he would take the power of the general and share it with everyone. ”

Han Fu smiled bitterly: "I didn't intend to be powerful, everything was because of the recommendation of that thief, and now I have a stable place." ”

"The general really didn't know that disaster was coming!"

Hearing Xun Chen's words, Han Fu's originally somewhat drunk mind instantly cleared up: "How can you say this?" ”

"Then Yuan Shao seized the power of the envoy today, and he knew that he had no room for people. The general's presence in Jizhou is a threat to him, how can he allow the general to stay in Jizhou for a long time, and he will definitely get rid of it in the future. ”

"If it weren't for Youruo's reminder, I would have almost died, I don't know what can be done?"

Xun Chen Zhengse said: "Today's plan is to stay away from Jizhou!" ”

Han Fu hesitated: "I still have a wife and daughter in Yecheng, how can I abandon them?" ”

"The general can be governor without delay, if Yuan Benchu is noticed later, everything will be suspended. The general's wife and daughter, please rest assured, I will handle this matter for the general. ”

Han Fu bit and said, "In this way, thank you very much." ”

Xun Chen watched Han Fu's carriage turn in the direction of the city gate: From now on, Jizhou will return to Yuan Benchu!
