Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong in battle that day, but it was only in the blink of an eye.

Huaxiong's bravery is famous in Liangzhou, and at that time, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, who had always been known for his bravery, saw Huaxiong killed with his own eyes, and he was also in chaos for a while.

Later, the Jiangdong soldiers and the Qingzhou soldiers joined forces, and easily swallowed the two thousand Liangzhou cavalry that were brought in pursuit by Huaxiong and were already leaderless.

It's just that although Hua Xiong died, Sun Jian was also seriously injured, and he had to temporarily retreat to Yangcheng with Guan Yu, and he was no longer able to attack Xuanyuan Pass.

In Yangcheng, this unruly Jiangdong Menghu is naturally sincerely grateful to Liu Bei.

If there was no Liu Bei this time, even if he could escape with his life, Zu Mao and the others were only afraid that they would not be able to escape, and they would definitely die outside Xuanyuan Pass.

Although there are losses now, it is still much better than the worst result.

After receiving the favor of others, Sun Jian naturally did not want to mention anything about attacking Xuanyuan Pass before Liu Bei. Now what he thinks most in his heart is to return to Luyang and find an explanation with Yuan Highway.

His Koto sons can't just die like this.

Although he never blinked when he killed the family Gaomen, he cherished his sons and daughters very much, otherwise there would not be so many Jiangdong sons and daughters who were willing to die for it.

Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Jia Xu to stay and preside over the overall situation and plan to attack Xuanyuan Pass. And he himself took Zhao Yun and went to Luyang with Sun Jian.

When he was in Luoyang, he had a lot of dealings with the Yuan brothers openly and secretly.

Compared with Yuan Benchu, who was full of thoughts, Yuan Highway had more market atmosphere that should not have appeared on him, but it really appeared on him but did not violate the harmony at all.

Liu Bei was also a little curious about why Yuan Highway would do such a treacherous thing.

Lu Yang was not far away, and several people rode into Yuan Shu's military camp, Yuan Shu had already gotten the news and sent someone to welcome them into the big tent.

After entering the big tent and seeing Yuan Shu standing behind the wooden eucalyptus, Sun Jian had no polite words, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to come, Yuan Jun also knows the meaning of my coming. Jian recruited troops from Jiangdong this time, and he does not deny that although he has the selfish intention of making meritorious contributions, it is more for the sake of his family and country!"

"The fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third prince are famous in the world, and now the general has not personally gone into battle to kill the enemy. But I drove forward for the general and fell into battle. Why did you cut off my military rations, so that I could not advance or retreat, and almost died at the hands of Hua Xiong? If it weren't for Xuande's help, I'm afraid that Sun Jian would have lost his life and stood here to reason with the general!"

In the face of Sun Jian's questioning, Yuan Shu was very calm, and he said in a deep voice: "It is indeed my fault this time, and I should not have listened to slander, so that Wentai was defeated."

In front of him lay a tray on a wooden eucalyptus covered with a red cloth.

He casually pulled up the red cloth, revealing the head underneath that had already lost most of its blood.

This person has obviously been dead for a long time, and when he was dying, his eyes widened with anger, I don't know if he never thought that Yuan Shuhui would take his life so easily, or if he was unwilling to die.

This person was Xun Zhi, the strategist who gave advice to Yuan Shu that day.

Yuan Shu continued, "Wentai can take this person's head and go to pay tribute to the deceased Jiangdong soldiers in your army. As for the other matters, I will compensate them for everything, but I will always have to make arrangements for their future."

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

The head glanced at Yuan Shu deeply, and then without saying a word, he raised his hand and lifted the tray with the human head on the eucalyptus in front of him, and lifted the curtain and left.

Only Liu Bei, who stood on the side without saying a word after entering the account with Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu, who obviously showed a relaxed look after driving Sun Jian away, were left in the tent.

The two looked at each other, silent for a long time, as if they didn't know how to speak.

The old people in the past are now reunited.

It is naturally a good thing for old people to see each other, but if they meet, the old people who have not seen each other for many years are no longer the temperament and appearance of the past, so how should they treat each other?

After being silent for a long time, it was Liu Bei who spoke first, and he laughed softly: "Highway, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed."

Yuan Shu glanced at Liu Bei, sighed, showed some envy, and said with a smile: "Harmlessness is naturally harmless, but as Xuande saw now, the Yuan Highway today is not the Yuan Highway in Luoyang City back then."

Between the words, although the tone is deliberately lighter, it is a little different from when he was in Luoyang.

"I've heard about Xuande over the years, and I'm really a little envious of you."

Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shu's words did not seem to be fake, but at this time, it was a little like Yuan Highway in Luoyang City.

He also sighed, "You're becoming more and more like your original now."

Although he has never disliked Yuan Shao, he has to admit that among the many princes today, only Yuan Shao is the most like a thorough politician.

Yuan Shu nodded, but he didn't argue, "It's ridiculous to say, when I was in Luoyang, I hated the original the most, and naturally it is the same now. It's just that when I arrived in Nanyang, it was my turn to be the master of the house, but I found that only by becoming more and more like the original can I make the greatest benefit in the family. Xuande, don't you think it's interesting?"

Liu Bei shook his head lightly and sighed again.

As everyone gets older, they seem to become more and more like the person they hated the most when they were young.

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "The Yuan family of the fourth world and the third prince is so famous. When he was young, he relied on the name of the Yuan family and flew eagles in Luoyang City, which was naturally debauched and interesting."

"It's just a wealthy family, both for protection and shackles, since I am sheltered, I naturally always have to do something for the family, so it seems that now I can't even compare to the original."

The Yuan family bet on him Yuan Highway, although Yuan Shao is not alone, but compared to him, he can act more quickly.

He glanced at Liu Bei deeply, sighed, and pointed out, "Xuande, I can't say that you and I will also draw swords to meet in the future, you know my character, and I will not show mercy to my subordinates at that time."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Could it be that when you tried to run a horse in Luoyang, you showed mercy when you lost several games in a row?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

In this world, how many words, after many years, think about it, but it is actually very sad.

…………

On the battlefield in the south, although Xuanyuan Pass can also be said to be a dangerous pass, Huaxiong was beheaded, which made the morale of the defenders of Xuanyuan Pass plummet. In addition, Hu Zhen had never had the intention of defending the city to the death, so he only pretended to defend Xuanyuan Pass for a few days, and then took advantage of the night to give up Xuanyuan Pass and withdraw towards Luoyang with the defenders of Guanzhong.

And just a few days after Guan Yu and others captured Xuanyuan Pass, the alliance of princes on the eastern battlefield learned that the Qingzhou army had killed General Dong Zhuoai and captured Xuanyuan Pass, the southern gateway of Luoyang.

Under the urging of the alliance leader Yuan Shao, the alliance of the princes could no longer care about hindering each other and delaying, but began to kill towards Luoyang, and the Liangzhou army fought several times, but was defeated by the alliance of the princes.

…………

The defeat on both sides in the southeast made Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in Luoyang, very angry.

It is not that he has not had no defeats since he commanded the Liangzhou army, but since he entered Luoyang, he has been smooth all the way and has never been defeated. I don't want to suffer a big defeat at this critical time.

Now the Liangzhou martial artist who is sitting high in the court has been suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and now seeing the princes doing this, it is clear that he wants to put him to death, and he naturally can't care about anything else.

There are many relatives of the princes in various places

Still staying in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo originally thought that if these people in Luoyang were killed, the princes from all walks of life would throw rat traps and would not persecute too much.

I don't want to, but now it seems that it has no effect at all.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo just said a word to Li Ru, who was summoned by him.

"Sure enough, those who do great things will not take care of their children's private feelings."

He touched the seven-star knife on his waist that Wang Yun had offered a few days ago.

He has always loved swords, and he loves them very much, even though he no longer needs to carry them for self-defense, he still hangs them around his waist all day long.

He drew his knife reluctantly, glanced at the cold light reflected on the blade, and then looked at Li Ru, word by word, "Wen You, kill all those people, and leave no one behind."

Hearing this, Li Ru's expression on his face did not change at all, he even killed the young emperor that day, and now he naturally will not be unable to do it.

He just opened his mouth and asked, "Yuan Kui is also a general disposition?"

Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and then coldly spit out a word.

"Kill".

…………

In Yuan's mansion in Luoyang, Taifu Yuan Kui was sitting cross-legged.

On his side, he is now the rightful head of the Yuan family, the elder brother of the Yuan brothers who are outside, Yuan Ji.

Opposite the two, a middle-aged scribe in green clothes was looking up at the two of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the stone table between the two sides, there were two wine glasses, as well as a jug of wine brought by the scribe opposite.

All around, there are dozens of armor soldiers dressed in full clothes.

Li Ru said with a smile: "Li has always respected Taifu very much, and today he made an exception for Taifu, and Taifu can choose his own way to die. If you are really afraid of pain, then drink this poisonous wine. This wine is so strong that it can kill a person before he can perceive the pain."

He glanced left and right again, "Naturally, if Taifu wants to die stronger, he just needs to draw his sword and rise."

"In the future, those who say that they cannot remember history will write a note in the history books. Taifu Yuan Kui, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. Strong and loyal, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he did not succumb to the thief, drew his sword, fought hard, and died with all his strength. He is loyal and brave, and he is enough to be a teacher for future generations."

Yuan Kui's face was pale, silent, and he didn't see any movement.

Yuan on his side is basically a weak scholar, and he has long been speechless.

Li Ru smiled and didn't rush.

The fourth and third dukes, famous in the world, he was also very admired when he was studying in Liangzhou in the past.

It was only later that he gradually grew up, and he realized that Mo was a famous and wealthy man like the Yuan family, and they were born in the border areas of Liangzhou, even if they were not even ordinary Central Plains scholars.

For him, it is actually interesting to see these high-ranking people struggling in the past who were out of reach in the past.

Dong Zhuo didn't listen to him several times before, which made the originally good situation fall to this step, and he had a faint premonition that he was afraid that it would be a tragic ending in the future.

Therefore, he now understands that being happy for a while is a moment.

Yuan Kui suddenly smiled bitterly, "I don't want to be a tiger in the first place."

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo had been cast under him, and he also thought that Dong Zhuo was available, so Dong Zhuo was added when He Jin recruited foreign soldiers.

Now it seems that he is naturally cocooned and self-bound, but at that time, he naturally did not expect that it would be the result he is now.

Li Ru smiled and nodded, "It's just that there has never been a regret medicine to sell in this world, so now even if you vomit out your heart and liver with too much repentance, it's useless."

"yes, what's the use of regretting."

Yuan Kui also nodded, this imperial prince, who had always been considered far inferior to his brother Yuan Feng by the people in the court, sat up straight, raised his hand and straightened his clothes.

In the end, it was from the Yuan family, which was full of heritage, and before he died, he never lost the bearing of the family.

It's just that Li Ru still wants to kill people, and he laughed softly: "Yuan Jun, the person who killed you is not my family, but the sons and nephews of your Yuan family."

Yuan Kui's expression remained unchanged, with an indifferent expression.

Li Ru continued: "

Yuan Jun originally wanted to use my lord as a knife to control this Luoyang City after He Jin's death, but unfortunately you lost. On the contrary, you two sons and nephews who have not been loved by you since childhood, and now they also want to use my lord as a knife."

He looked at Yuan Ji on the side and said with a smile, "Come and get rid of this big trouble for them. But even if my lord knew this, he had to obey their wishes. In this way, it is better to use conspiracy than conspiracy."

Yuan Ji's complexion changed several times, he was not afraid of death, but in his heart, he always just felt that Yuan Shao and the others acted like this for the sake of the interests of the family and the country, and they had to do so.

Yuan Kui turned his head and glanced at Yuan Ji, and shook his head slightly, a little disappointed.

He had to admit one thing, in terms of mellow and gentle, Yuan Ji was indeed far above the two Yuan family outside. But when it comes to politics, he is indeed far inferior to the other two.

Thinking of this, Yuan Kui suddenly laughed, raised his hand to pick up the wine on the table, faced Li Ru opposite, and said with a smile: "Li Wenyou, on the contrary, I want to thank you for helping me figure out this matter. In such a troubled era, it is a good thing that the Yuan family has their two brothers outside."

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

It is worthy of the name of the Yuan family.

Yuan Kui did not hesitate and drank all the wine in the cup.

Although Yuan Ji on the side showed a look of hesitation and horror for a short time, it can be seen that his uncle is like this, and he no longer hesitates, and drinks the wine in front of him.

Li Ru just smiled and watched the two fall to the ground one after another.

I thought in my heart that the ending of his own family would probably be like this in the future.

…………

In the camp of the coalition forces outside the Tiger Prison Pass, an envoy from Luoyang sent an edict from the Son of Heaven.

The edict is written by the princes here, and they think that everyone is raising a lot of unscrupulous soldiers and entering Luoyang, which is a thief!

If today's son is in the hands of Dong thief, the so-called edict is nothing more than Dong thief's dictation, and the seal of the Son of Heaven is just that, and the princes will naturally not take it to heart.

Only with it, dozens of corpses were delivered.

More or less, they all have something to do with the princes in the account.

All of a sudden, many of the princes gathered in the big tent cried on the spot, which was deeply moving, and everyone who heard it shed tears.

After crying, many people immediately pressed their swords and stood up, and they wanted to cut these angels from the sun into their tents.

"Stop it!"

Yuan Shao, who was sitting at the top, suddenly shouted, then got up suddenly, came to the center of the big tent, and stared at the two corpses.

Yuan Benchu, a model in the world who has always been square and serious, happy and angry, and is known for his color, suddenly shouted again.

He vomited a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

The whole person fell heavily.

…………

That night, the lord of the Yuan League, who had been unconscious when the princes came to visit during the day, quietly opened his eyes.

He sat up slowly.

The pale face, dressed in a snow-white undershirt, had no shoes and socks, so he walked out of the tent barefoot.

The ground was littered with stones, but after a few steps, the soles of his feet were covered in blood.

It's just that Yuan Shao never stopped, and he didn't even frown.

The death of Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji can actually be said to be promoted by him. Ever since he escaped from Luoyang, he had already expected that there would be today.

Although he had known this for a long time, he would still be a little sad when it came to the end.

In the big tent during the day, a mouthful of blood was vomited, half-truths and half-truths.

It turned out that he thought he was hard-hearted, and there was still a bit of sincerity.

Over the years, he has read all the history books and only came to one conclusion.

Those who have achieved great things in ancient times have cut off the seven feelings, and people are no longer human.

Yuan Benchu raised his head slightly.

Far away, the galaxy is like a river, slowly walking in the sky.

He thought to himself, and was speechless.
