Shou Chun.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem——!"

Yuan Shu lay on the wide dragon bed and coughed bitterly, his face turning pale with each cough.

After this violent cough, he relieved himself for a long time, raised his hand tremblingly, and said weakly: "Honey, take honey......

The maid hurriedly picked up the jade bowl placed on the tray and stepped forward to serve Yuan Shu to drink.

Yuan Shu only took a sip, then directly raised his hand to knock over the jade bowl, and at the same time spit out the honey water in his mouth, and scolded angrily: "How is this honey water cold!" ”

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The slave is guilty!" The slave is guilty! ”

"Someone!"

Yuan Shu was furious in his heart, and when he called the guards, he said angrily: "Drag this cheap maid down to me and behead it!" ”

"No!"

The guard said nothing, and dragged the poor maid, who had turned pale with fright, out.

Listening to the cries that gradually faded away, the faces of the other maids in the dormitory showed a look of fear.

This is already the ninth maid to be executed after Yuan Shu returned.

As long as there is a slight flaw in doing things, or it makes Yuan Shu unhappy, he will be directly executed.

"Cheap thing!" Yuan Shu was still puzzled, and scolded fiercely, and then cast a cold gaze on the other maids in the main hall, "Get out of here!"

The maids were pardoned and left the palace in a hurry.

After retreating from these subordinates, Yuan Shu felt dizzy in front of him, and lay down again, and couldn't help but sigh.

After returning to Shouchun, he began to get sick, often waking up in his sleep, and his body became weaker and weaker, coughing all day and night, and his condition became worse day by day.

The medical officer could not find out the cause of the disease after repeated diagnoses, but in fact, Yuan Shu himself knew some reasons.

"Damn the three-surnamed house slave!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, but underneath this hatred, there was a deep fear.

In the battle of the Huai River that day, Lu Bu shot Le Ju with an arrow, which had already frightened him greatly;

Later, he was almost beheaded by Lu Bu with a halberd, which left a great shadow in his heart.

As long as he closed his eyes, he saw the miserable death of a man and a horse crucified to the ground;

There was also Lu Bu covered in blood, wielding Fang Tian's halberd, killing him like a demon god.

This is the reason why he was sick, and he was completely scared out by Lu Bu.

If you want to eradicate this disease, you can only kill Lu Bu!

"One day, I will personally cut off the heads of these three family slaves, and crush his bones and ashes to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Yuan Shu thought hatefully in his heart, which made him feel better.

At this moment, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the dormitory: "Your Majesty! Oh no, Your Majesty! Lu Bu called! ”

"What?!"

Yuan Shu was shocked, and a carp jumped up from the bed, and then rolled and crawled to the ground to hide under the bed.

But the bottom of the bed was too narrow and he had a big belly, only half of his body went in, and half of his body was stuck outside.

The eunuch walked into the dormitory, and when he saw Yuan Shu crawling under the bed, he was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Lu Bu called, what do you say I do? Help me hide under the bed! ”

Yuan Shu was terrified and desperately wanted to drill under the bed.

Hearing this, the eunuch said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lu Bu did not enter the palace, but his army was encamped ten miles outside the city. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shu's movements suddenly stiffened, and then he crawled out from under the bed with some difficulty.

After getting up, he gave the eunuch a slap with his backhand!

"If you can't speak, you'll cut off your tongue next time! It's useless to grow in your mouth anyway! ”

Yuan Shu's face turned red, and he only felt that he was too embarrassed.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins......" The eunuch knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and asked, "When is the news, where is my general now?" ”

The general in his mouth is Zhang Xiu.

After escaping from Lu Bu's hands, he canonized Zhang Xiu as a general, and led the Dacheng country to go up and down the army and horses, and added nine tins, and the sword went to the palace.

The eunuch lowered his head and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's the news that just came." The general is now leading the defense. ”

Yuan Shu's face looked a little better when he heard this.

Shouchun was run by him, and there was plenty of grain and grass in the city, enough to support the army for a year.

In addition, there is Zhang Xiu guarding the city, even if Lu Bu is brave, it will be difficult to break the city for a while.

However, Yuan Shu was still a little uneasy, and he always felt uneasy.

"Spread my will and summon the general into the palace!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch turned and trotted out of the dormitory.

Half an hour after the end of the month, there was a sound of armor colliding.

Zhang Xiu, who was in armor, walked in.

"Minister Zhang Xiu, see Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu's face showed joy: "The general has arrived, come here, quickly give the general a seat!" ”

After Zhang Xiu took his seat, he asked, "I don't know what His Majesty summoned his ministers to the palace?" ”

He was still patrolling the city wall just now, and after receiving Yuan Shu's summons, he hurried over, and he didn't have time to take off his armor.

Yuan Shu couldn't wait to ask, "General, I heard that Lu Bu's army is coming, do you have the confidence to hold Shouchun?" ”

Shouchun is his last shelter, if Shouchun is breached, then he is really a hero's end, and he has nowhere to go.

Zhang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although Lu Bu is strong, but with the solidity of Shouchun's city, the breadth of soldiers, and the abundance of grain and grass, the minister is confident that he can defend it." At least for a year, Lu Bu will not be able to attack. ”

Receiving this answer, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Shouchun can defend for a year, but Lu Bu can't attack for a year, he can't have so much grain and grass.

As long as you stick to the city, when Lu Bu's grain and grass are exhausted, the crisis will be solved in an instant.

However, Zhang Xiu's next sentence made his face turn pale again.

"But...... The courtier's scouts found out, Sun Ce and Cao Cao also led a large army to come, and the armies on both sides had tens of thousands of people, and they would soon be under the city. ”
