Yuan Shang wrote three letters, which were sent out quickly.

They were sent to the two elder brothers, as well as the cousin Gao Gan, and they were moved by affection and reason, telling them to deal with external enemies first, and then deal with our internal problems.

If the Yuan clan is not united now, and is still engaged in nest fighting, fighting by himself, then the Yuan clan will be gone.

In the evening, when Yuan Tan got this letter, he was silent for a while, thinking that what Yuan Shang said was very reasonable, and now that the matter is now, keep the Yuan family first, otherwise everything will be gone, they are fighting in the nest, what is the point?

Pointless!

"Defeat Cao Cao first, and then decide who can inherit his father's position."

Yuan Tan found Guo Tu and the others, told them the contents of the letter, and said: "Two gentlemen, I still want to go to Yecheng first, meet with Xianfu, and then concentrate my forces to deal with Cao Cao together, what do you think?" ”

In fact, he was still worried that if he went to Yecheng, he would have no more, and his soldiers would be swallowed by Yuan Shang and he would get nothing.

There is a little hesitation in my heart, so let's see what Guo Tu and the others think.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping were thinking in their hearts that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang must not have succeeded in cooperating, and they were not worried about Yuan Shang's letter at all.

"If the eldest son hesitates, or even worries, it's actually very simple."

Xin Ping said: "After we arrive in Yecheng, Gongzi must stay in the army, don't go to see the third prince alone, you must go to see it if you don't have to, you have to bring enough people around to protect you, he can't help Gongzi." ”

Guo Tu added: "We went to Yecheng just to fight Cao Cao, not to catch up with the old days, Gongzi should pay attention to vigilance and be vigilant, just in case." ”

"I see!"

Yuan Tan said solemnly.

Now is a critical period, no one knows what Yuan Shang thinks, he should be vigilant, he understands that he can't let go.

decided to go to Yecheng, Yuan Tan relaxed a little, and after discussing it, he asked Guo Tu and Xin Ping to go back to rest, and it was almost time for him to rest.

I will reply to Yuan Shang tomorrow, explaining that I can bring troops back to support, and there is no need to rush back to the camp now.

After doing this, Yuan Tan was ready to rest, put out the candle, and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard something outside.

It was as if a soldier accidentally fell to the ground and made a sound.

"People outside, don't make noise!"

Yuan Tan was woken up and shouted outside very unhappily.

The sound outside was quiet for the time being, but this sound, as if it was deliberately made, was just to wake up Yuan Tan, and after a while, two figures crept closer to Yuan Tan's military camp.

Yuan Tan's guards outside all turned into corpses at this time.

Fell to the ground in all directions.

Yuan Tan was about to continue sleeping, but soon felt that something was wrong, as if there was a faint smell of blood, which came in from outside, this smell was particularly pungent, he also often went to the battlefield to fight, and he was still relatively sensitive to blood.

"That's not right!"

Yuan Tan jumped up violently and looked outside.

I saw two sneaky figures, lifting the curtain of his tent to enter, and he immediately shouted: "Who is outside? ”

The people outside moved, and one was found very surprised, and then broke in directly, and in Yuan Tan's sight, he saw a flash of knife, and a figure killed him.

"Assassin!"

These two words appeared in Yuan Tan's mind for the first time.

That's right, it's the Assassins!

There was even an assassin, killing here, Yuan Tan was furious, picked up the knife placed beside him, and blocked the assassin's knife.

At the same time, a second assassin also entered.

With one enemy and two enemies, Yuan Tan didn't have much confidence.

He shouted angrily, fended off the knives of the two Assassins, and then used his knives to break open the tent and go outside, shouting, "Someone, there are Assassins, someone is coming......"

When he got outside, he could see that the guards standing guard outside were all dead.

The assassin then chased after Yuan Tan.

When they were discovered, they showed a very anxious look, for fear that the other soldiers in the military camp would be awakened and surrounded and lose the best opportunity to assassinate, so they hurriedly chased after Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan's skills are not bad, although the strength of the two assassins is not weak, but he can block it, and he can also cut down a person.

The remaining assassin, who was in a trance when he saw his companion killed, gritted his teeth and turned around to run, but at this time he could no longer escape, and the other soldiers in the barracks killed him and cut off his way.

The assassin stabbed himself in the stomach and died.

"Eldest son!"

Yuan Tan's subordinate generals rushed over with their troops, and they were slightly relieved to see that Yuan Tan was safe and sound.

Another general, Cen Bi, also quickly led troops over to protect Yuan Tan's side, and the soldiers of the entire military camp were awakened to thoroughly investigate whether there were any other assassins who had mixed in.

Xin Ping and Guo Tu were late, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they pretended to be surprised.

"How can anyone dare to assassinate the eldest son?"

Although they had known for a long time what had happened, Guo Tu still showed a look of surprise on his face.

Yuan Tan said coldly: "Search my body, see if there is anything on them that can prove their identity, and check it for me, I want to know who it is, so you want me to die!" ”

When the soldiers around him heard this, they immediately took action.

Soon, however, a token was recovered from the Assassin's body.

"Eldest son, it's Cao Cao's token!"

Cen Bi picked up the token and said.

"Cao Cao?"

Yuan Tan took the token, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said angrily: "You want me to die? It's not so easy, I will go to Yecheng normally tomorrow, I will send troops to find Cao Cao for revenge! ”

The assassination in his own military camp made Yuan Tan very angry.

"Eldest son, not necessarily!"

At this time, Xin Ping happened to say: "If Cao Cao wants to assassinate the eldest son, why should he let the assassin bring something to prove his identity?" Wouldn't it be nice to assassinate quietly without any need? ”

Hearing this, Yuan Tan felt that there was some truth.

His excited emotions slowly calmed down and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Guo Tu looked at the people around him and said, "Childe, can you go to a quiet place to talk?" ”

Yuan Tan's tent was destroyed just now, but it was still not a problem to live in it for the time being, he asked Cen Bi and Guan Tong to lead troops outside to defend it, worried that there would be assassins, and then brought Guo Tu and them into the tent.

"What do you think of, sir?"

Yuan Tan asked.

Guo Tu first said: "We feel that this assassination is not so simple! ”

"Why?"

Yuan Tan asked again.

Xin Ping said: "If the eldest son dies, who will benefit the most? The person who got the most benefit was definitely not Cao Cao, if it was really Cao Cao who did this, there was no need to let the assassin bring something that could prove his identity, isn't this an extra move? ”

Listening to their words, Yuan Tan thought about it deeply, and suddenly his face turned pale, as if he had thought of something, something particularly terrible, and who would benefit him the most!
