- Are you going to Zhangshui? Another girl with a round face and round eyes asked softly, I had heard my sister talk about it.

- The Shangsi Festival is coming, and the lord only needs to take a bath, and he will get better.

- When the lord gets off the car, there will be many girls who will not be able to walk when they see it.

The lord who was lying on the couch smiled softly.

He is dying, his face is withered, and he will never win the favor of the girls again, only the innocent and delicate concubines around him, with a young mind corresponding to his age, and the gentleness and loyalty that touches him too.

He can no longer take this group of concubines to play by Zhangshui during the Shangsi Festival, and he can no longer get the admiring eyes of the girls.

But he had a very beautiful son, young and handsome, and radiant, and when he went out, there must have been many, and many young ladies threw sachets at his horse......

Yuan Shao thought groggily until there was a slight noise around him.

Several young concubines quietly retreated, and someone walked in.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and most of his hair has turned gray, and the whole person is as thin as a bamboo.

But his gaze was still calm and calm, and after Yuan Shao saw him, he suddenly felt that the uneasiness in his heart just now had gradually dissipated a little.

It was as if the footsteps had also stopped for a moment.

"There are angels."

Yuan Shao's hand suddenly clenched the soft muslin cloth under him.

"Who?!"

"The envoy of the imperial court," said Wen in a frustrated voice, "confer the title of Tai Lieutenant of the Duke of Ming." ”

The uneasiness on the lord's face dissipated, and he smiled sarcastically: "Liu Bei is extremely tired and does not dare to invade, so the court wants to issue an edict to appease me." ”

"That's right," he nodded, "After the lord recalls the eldest prince, he can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

The people on the sickbed frowned slightly, and Fu Zhu was not in a hurry to continue to persuade, and there was only silence in the inner room.

There was a sundial in the courtyard, and the thin image was like a long leg, quietly taking another step forward in the silence.

Yuan Shao had to speak: "Should I recall Da Lang back to the plain, or Yecheng?" ”

Frustrated and looked at him, "The lord wants to recuperate quietly, and all matters in Hebei will naturally be decided by the eldest prince." ”

"Saburo...... You can also share my worries. ”

Speaking of which, it can be called a poor dagger, and the frustration is no longer evaded.

"Has the eldest prince ever been?"

Yuan Shao opened his dry lips, thought for a long time, and could only stretch out his hand unwillingly.

The Hebei lord gently tugged at the sleeve of his robe, and asked him in an almost unreasonable pleading voice: "He usually values this third brother's ...... very much."

The flower of Tangtang, the calyx embryo is still clinging; Brotherhood is like brotherhood.

The corners of his mouth curled mockingly.

"All parents always feel that their sons have no other intentions, but if the lord wants them to go on a blind date, he must first make his brother and brother respect," asked the frustrated professor, "If the younger brother usurps the position of brother, does the lord think that he still has brotherly affection?" ”

If there is still brotherhood, there will be no allusion to Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan!

If there is no brotherhood, what will become of their brothers?

Yuan Shao hesitated very much until he stopped him with a question:

"Emperor Xiaowen has set up such a foundation, there is still a rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms sweeping the world, if it weren't for Zhou Yafu to help the building to fall, I don't know who Jiuding will fall into, does the lord think that today's Jizhou, there is still the remaining strength of the two sons and brothers?"

The room was cold again.

There was a servant girl holding her breath outside the door, not daring to come out, and quietly gave another servant girl next to her a look.

The handmaiden, who was very ordinary, walked slowly on her knees, slowly climbed out of the door, and then got up by the pillar, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

There is a wind from the back house, all the way to the south.

By the time Lu Hangyu heard the message, it was already half a month later.

Naturally, what she heard was not any news from Yecheng.

The news in Yecheng is very strict, Sima Yi is busy writing letters day and night to inquire, and his hair is about to fall out, so he can't find anything.

According to the relay of the Jizhou family, the entire Hebei has entered a defensive state, heavily guarded, Yecheng is the top priority, there are soldiers patrolling day and night in front of Yuan Shao's mansion, not to mention an owl, even if it is a worm that quietly comes out of the soil, it will be crushed to death by a kick, and it is categorically impossible to peek into the mansion.

So the news that Lu Hangyu heard was...... Yuan Tan withdrew his troops.

After he got Xiao Pei, he quickly marched to Xia Pi, and instead of attacking the city immediately, he chose to surround it but not fight, which made Yang Xiu feel a little puzzled.

This angel had never fought before, but he was a little clever on paper, and when he saw Lu Hangyu, he asked politely:

"If the general changes places, such as Yuan Tan's position, what should I do?"

"Hurry up and knock Xiapi down." She said.

"Why?"

"Liu Bei......" she immediately changed her words, "My lord's defense line is hierarchical, Xiapi is in the front, and Suiyang is in the back." ”

Xiapi itself is near the river, otherwise Cao Cao would not dig the river to trap, in fact, digging the river is also a big project for Cao Cao, but what can he do? Under the premise that the river is unobstructed, the grain and grass in the south can be transported to Suiyang and Xiapi, and the two cities rely on each other.

For Yuan Shao, the problem is not big, he has many generals and generals, and there is a whole Yellow River behind him, how to transport grain and troops is transported, but it is very different for Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan's soldiers must be Yuan Shao's soldiers, and Yuan Shao's soldiers are not necessarily Yuan Tan's soldiers.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's explosion of troops and food has nothing to do with Yuan Tan, if he wants to complete the task of attacking Xiapi, he must complete it himself.

Then if it was Lu Hangyu, she would definitely not consume it with the people in the city - what would it cost? The matter of the warmer weather is not subject to anyone's will, and the river will naturally be opened when the time comes, so the more people in the city are guarded, the more hopeful they are.

Unless you give it to Liu Beizai, but that's your father's credit, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't besiege it, what are you waiting for?

As soon as she said three or two sentences, Yang Xiu said that he understood.

But Lu Hangyu was a little unhappy, and still insisted on finishing her analysis.

Yang Xiu sat there, looking a little restless, and he wanted to bite his fingernails.

Until she finally finished.

"So I'm also confused," she said, "probably because Yuan Shao has some military order." ”

Yang Xiu finally listened to it and launched a handwritten book.

"This is a letter from the Pei people," he said, "when Yuan Tan besieged the city, he was as immobile as a mountain, but when he withdrew, it was as fast as the wind." ”

How did Yuan Tan withdraw his troops?

It's strange to say.

…… He threw away his baggage.

Lu Xuanyu's army was still hundreds of miles away from him, even if she still had the strength to spare, it would be difficult to catch up with the starry night, not to mention that she was now sleepy and tired, and she had no spare strength to chase.

If it was a mediocre general who didn't know how to fight, he might just run away, but Yuan Tan was a battle-hardened general, so he shouldn't even be able to guess her intention of not coming to help Pi immediately.

Xiao Peicheng suffered a big plunder, in which many men and women were killed and injured, and the news came out, which caused those Peiguo people who had eaten pot pulp to also worry - since Yuan Tan is pretending to be benevolent, then he doesn't need to pretend to be on the way back, and he is robbing all the way, isn't it too normal?

But Yuan Tan didn't rob anyone.

Not only did they not rob it, but they also threw things along the way, and the old farmers squatting in the ditch on the side of the road could pick up two pieces of cloth and throw things to the same extent.

He marched almost insanely, throwing everything that stood in his way was thrown down, including but not limited to fences, tents, bulky furniture, belongings, and even the wounded who were still able to walk.

Yuan Tan didn't think about what would happen to those wounded people who were left on the land that he had taken over.

He traveled 50 miles a day and 50 nights, and could walk 100 miles a day, and soon arrived next to the Yellow River.

It is said that he did not even wait for the boat to be mobilized, and when he crossed the river, another ship capsized, and many soldiers died.

"Oh." She finished reading the letter and nodded.

Yang Xiu was about to go crazy.

"What does the general think?"

"I don't have a personal relationship with him," she said, "but it looks ...... He is very homesick and a filial son. ”

Yang Xiu was completely mad.

"How stupid the general is!" He shouted loudly, "This must be a change in the Yuan family!" ”

"Oh," she was a little unhappy, "then you can't scold me." ”

Yang Xiu staggered out of the tent a little, and almost bumped into Zhang Liao head-on.

The wandering and state-bound people entered the tent with puzzled faces, and turned their heads to look at it a few more times.

"Why is Yang Dezu so out of shape?"

"I don't know," she said, "he scolded me and ran away with a broken face." ”

Zhang Liao frowned, as if he felt that this matter was not simple.

"He was so disrespectful?"

She handed him the handwritten letter.

Zhang Liao finished reading it with one hand.

After reading it, it dawned on me.

When Yuan Tan received the document from his father ordering him to withdraw his troops, he was still very calm.

He still behaved mildly and dutifully, and after asking the messenger how his father was doing, and after receiving the news that everything was fine with his father, he also hosted a feast for the messenger to eat.

He was looking at the paper asking him to retreat back to the plains in the light after the banquet when he suddenly noticed something strange.

First of all...... The letter was not written by my father, or even by a clerk who was familiar with my father's side.

Whether it is the choice of words or the handwriting, there is a strange feeling.

It's nothing, he said to himself, after a big defeat, it's normal for some changes in the people around his father.

But the instrument is to be sealed.

The documents in the army are stamped with official seals, and Yuan Shao is a Jizhou pastor, so he will stamp an official seal of Jizhou pastor.

But in addition to this, he wrote letters to his sons and ordered them to be stamped with a stamp of his own, even if the letters were not written by his own hand, as long as he had seen them himself.
