The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 581 Closing
Ji Ling can be regarded as Yuan Shu's confidant and favorite general.

This time Yuan Shu dispatched two armies to surprise Yanzhou, and the reason why he chose Ji Ling to be Lv Bu's lieutenant general also implied surveillance.

After all, Lu Fengxian's previous experience was too magical, even Yuan Shu, who had always been a hero, was not at ease.

For Yuan Shu's arrangement, Lu Bu naturally felt a little bit uncomfortable, but it was inconvenient to show it, so he could only do it in the dark.

For example... Lv Bu would ask Ji Ling to participate in every detail, and urged him to report back to Yuan Shu every time, and staged a master of micro-manipulation in the late Han Dynasty.

Different from a bald-headed strongman in later generations, Yuan Shu, a master of micromanagement, was forced to take office.Facing the endless stream of military newspapers on the front line, Yuan Shu had to reply, but often the last military newspaper had just been replied, and the next military newspaper came again, which made Yuan Shu extremely annoyed, and even regretted his previous one. Decide.

And Ji Ling's situation was naturally not much better.

Can you imagine that Lu Bu would ask Ji Ling to write a lengthy military report and send it back to Pingyu every time he set up camp, and Yuan Shu would personally annotate the reply?
Don't ask, it's me, Lu Fengxian, who is loyal to the general, so I report everything in every detail!
After all, Lu Bu still wanted to work under Yuan Shu, so he could only protest in this relatively mild way.

Of course Ji Ling understood Lu Bu's intentions, but he had no choice but to write letters to Yuan Shu at his desk every day.

However, Lu Bu's move is also extremely clever. Before Ji Ling pointed fingers at him, I lay flat and died. What can you do with me?
It was also because of this that when Guan Yu gave up on himself to kill Ji Ling, Lu Bu didn't chase after him at the first time, and wanted Ji Ling to suffer a little bit before talking.

But who would have thought that Ji Ling's strength was not enough, coupled with the exhaustion of his mind and body these days, Guan Yu would give him a second if he didn't pay attention...

Lu Bu was instantly furious.

The confidant and beloved general Yuan Shu sent to monitor him was actually beheaded by Guan Yu in front of the battle. How would he explain to Yuan Shu when he went back?
With Yuan Shu's small mind, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not suspect that he has killed Ji Ling.

"Guan Yunchang, take your life!"

Lü Bu roared, and with his halberd he chopped at Guan Yu.

For the current plan, only by taking Guan Yu's head back can he wash away his suspicions.

"Good come!"

Guan Yu was naturally fearless, and once again swung his sword to fight with Lu Bu.

Even though Lu Bu was extremely angry in his heart, it could not change the objective fact that the two were evenly matched.

They fought for hundreds of rounds again, from the afternoon to the evening, and when the army behind them was exhausted from fighting, the two still couldn't decide the winner.

In desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

But that night, Zhang Fei, who defeated Zhang Xun, led his army to join forces with Guan Yu, and launched a night attack on Lu Bu.Although Lu Bu had taken precautions, he suffered a lot.

After learning the news of Zhang Xun's defeat, Lu Bu thought again and again, thinking that he had no chance of winning this battle, so he led his army to withdraw from Chenliu, and reported to Yuan Shu, requesting reinforcements.

That's right, it was asking Yuan Shu to increase his troops.

It was a bad start in this battle, and Lu Bu knew in his heart that most likely he was going to retreat.

But he didn't persuade Yuan Shu to retreat, but put all the responsibility on Zhang Xun, since the dead would not refute it anyway.

In this way, Yuan Shu could not blame Lu Bu for the defeat.

As for Ji Ling's death... I guess Yuan Shu didn't have the heart to pursue it.

……

Thirty miles south of Taoqiu City, the final decisive battle has already begun.

After encountering a surprise attack led by Lu Qian, Yuan Shao's complexion changed drastically, and he realized that he had been tricked.

But now he brings all the elites in the city, totaling more than [-] people, they are not without the power to fight.

Now that the worst situation has come, they can only fight with their lives.

However, the defeat in the past few days and the shortage of food in the army have made this a war that is destined to be impossible to win.

Lu Qian led the army to charge for a while, and his subordinates gradually lost their strength, but they also successfully disturbed the sight of Yuan Shao's army, paving the way for the success of the follow-up battle plan.

Half an hour later, when Yuan Shao's army was about to surround Lu Qian's lone army to death, desolate trumpets suddenly sounded from both sides.

It was the [-] cavalry led by Zhang Liao who finally found the best time to attack and attacked from both sides of Yuan Shao's army in an attempt to separate them.

The sound of horseshoes sounded like a god of death, like a sharp knife coming out of its sheath, and finally turned into an unstoppable force, piercing the abdomen of Yuan Shao's army.

As the best general in Xuzhou to seize the opportunity to attack, Zhang Liao led his cavalry to appear at the moment when the fierce battle between Yuan Shaojun and Lu Qian's troops was in full swing.

Facing the sudden and fully-powered iron cavalry, Yuan Shaojun was not prepared. Although Yuan Shao discovered Zhang Liao's troops in time, it was still difficult to recover from the decline, and Zhang Liao quickly penetrated the entire formation.

Since then, Yuan Shao's army has been divided into two.

Not far from the battlefield, Zhao Yun straddled his horse, staring intently at the battle ahead.

Although it was in the dark night, the spear in Zhao Yun's hand still shone coldly under the reflection of the surrounding torches, which was breathtaking.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes not far away, but it was Tanqi who rushed over, cupped his fists at Zhao Yun and said: "General, General Zhang has pierced through the enemy formation!"

"Okay, let's explore again!"

Zhao Yun let out a low drink, his expression did not relax at all, instead he frowned slightly.

The importance of this battle is self-evident, and as the leader of an army, Zhao Yun naturally understands the burden on him.

Lin Chao did not choose to attend the battle in person, but handed over the command to Zhao Yun, which is a kind of great trust.

So Zhao Yun would rather die than live up to this trust!

Now that Zhang Liao has completed the task of dividing the battlefield, Zhao Yun will lead the whole army to rush forward at this time, and he will naturally win a complete victory.

But what Zhao Yun wanted was not just victory.

In other words, victory could not satisfy Zhao Yun's needs at all, he wanted to keep Yuan Shao here completely!

For this reason, more sacrifices are inevitable.

Among the chaotic army, Zhang Liao was still leading his army to charge.But after rushing into the battlefield, the mobility of the cavalry was gradually weakened, and they no longer had the efficient lethality before.

It's really weird why General Zhao still doesn't see General Zhao launching a general attack after dividing the enemy's army!

Just when Zhang Liao was puzzled, he suddenly felt pressure increased.When I hurriedly looked up, I found that there was a steady stream of enemy troops rushing up around me, besieging myself and the [-] cavalry under my command.

Immediately, Zhang Liao's complexion changed.

He instantly understood Yuan Shao's intention, and at the same time understood Zhao Yun's intention.

So far, I have only dispatched one of Lu Qian's infantry and cavalry under my command, totaling about [-] people. Although Yuan Shao was caught off guard, the difference in strength is huge.

Yuan Shaoling's soldiers rushed forward because he still held the hope of victory in his heart and wanted to trap himself and Lu Qian to death in the chaos.

This was also what Zhao Yun was looking forward to. The reason why he did not arrive so late was to give Yuan Shao this false impression, so that Yuan Shao would fall into a desperate situation step by step, without any chance of turning over.

After guessing Zhao Yun's intention, Zhang Liao didn't feel any grievance in his heart, instead he fought the enemy more bravely, wanting to buy more time for Zhao Yun.

"Report, the enemy army has gathered to encircle, General Zhang and General Lu are already in a hard fight!"

Another scout came to report, but Zhao Yun's eyes remained calm.

"A certain general ordered General Xu Wenyao to lead his troops to kill him!"

When it was time to make a decisive move, Zhao Yun changed Lin Chao's previous arrangement without hesitation, and even Xu Rong, who was in charge of cutting off Yuan Shao's back, had to fight.

"only!"

The scout clasped his fists and rushed to deliver the order.

After Tanqi left, Zhao Yun cast his eyes on the battlefield ahead again.

At the same time, Zhao Yun's right hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

Zhao Yun has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has already become a top fighter in the world. Naturally, it is impossible for him to be unable to grasp a weapon steadily.

The only possibility is that at this moment, his heart is not as calm as it looks.

This was a dangerous move, if Zhao Yun could disperse Yuan Shao's army with a small force, then when he led the army to attack, he would be overwhelming wherever he went, and it was impossible for Yuan Shao to stop him at all.

But this tactic has extremely strict requirements for grasping the opportunity of the battle. If it is not done well, it may lead to the embarrassing situation where Zhang Liao, Lu Qian and others are trapped to death, but he fails to arrive in time.

Even so, Zhao Yun dared to bet on this one!
After Tanqi sent the news of the attack to Xu Rong's ears, this middle-aged man in his forties had a look of astonishment flashing across his brows.

Xu Rong's age and experience made it impossible for him to become Liu Bei's confidant.Returning back then was only a helpless choice under the strong pressure of Lin Chao.

Since returning to Xuzhou, Xu Rong has been doing his job carefully, and rarely interacts with people on weekdays, for fear of being caught by the pigtails.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was not the one who was suspicious. Not only did he not deprive Xu Rong of his military power, but he also treated him with great courtesy.

Until tonight when he was assigned to cut off Yuan Shao's back, Xu Rong also thought that as usual, it was impossible to get a chance to fight the enemy.

Unexpectedly, he, Zhao Zilong, dared to change Lin Jianjun's plan, and even ordered himself to take the initiative to attack!
So much so that Xu Rong was stunned for a while before he realized: "What did you just say?"

Tanqi clasped his hands again and shouted loudly: "General Xu, General Zhao ordered you to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack!"

"well!"

After Xu Rong confirmed that he had heard correctly, his face was excited and he couldn't stop laughing, but then he pulled out the sword at his waist.

As a world-class general, Xu Rong also defeated Cao Cao's entire army, and even defeated the Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian head-on, so why didn't he have the ambition to fight and fight!
"Soldiers, follow me to fight!"

After saying that, Xu Rong rushed out first, followed by three thousand soldiers under his command, and rushed straight into the chaos.

As Xu Rong joined the battlefield, the situation on the field became even more chaotic.

Yuan Shaojun, who was originally divided into two large pieces, turned into three waves at this moment.Lu Qian was in the front, Zhang Liao was in the middle, and Xu Rong was in the back. They were respectively surrounded by Yuan Shao's army and fought fiercely.

Under the banner, Yuan Shao watched the battle with a stern expression.

Liu Xuande, if you want to annihilate someone out of the city in one fell swoop, it depends on whether you have such a big appetite!
Yuan Shao clenched his palms into fists and roared: "Here comes the order, the whole army will fight bravely, and we must wipe out all the bandits before dawn!"

Following Yuan Shao's death order, the situation of Zhang Liao and the other three became more and more difficult.

But while the entire Yuan Shao army surrounded and killed the three of them, the outermost line of defense began to gradually weaken, even to the point of being ineffective.

In a flash, another half an hour passed.

"Report, all the enemy troops are besieging and killing our army, and the three generals are almost unable to hold on!"

Zhao Yun stared at the Tanqi who came to report, and asked, "Are you sure it's all the enemy troops?"

The detective clasped his fists and said, "Go back to the general, the villain confirmed that all the enemy troops are besieging and killing the three generals, and even the outermost defense line has been withdrawn."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's tense face finally revealed a smile.

The time has come, great things can be expected!
Zhao Yun pointed the spear in his hand to the sky, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, kill the generals, and capture Yuan Shao alive!"

"Kill the general and go in, and capture Yuan Shao alive!"

"Kill the general and go in, and capture Yuan Shao alive!"

……

Accompanied by the shouts of Zhentian, Zhao Yun led an army of nearly [-] people and rushed forward.

On one side was Yuan Shaojun who had been fighting for more than an hour and was completely defenseless.

On the other side is the Xuzhou Army, which has been ready to go since the start of the war.

Two-way comparison, superior and superior judgment!
Zhao Yun's advancement along the way can be described as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.

However, Yuan Shaojun, who left his back to the enemy, was killed and defeated. The morale that had been barely built up was instantly reduced to nothing with Zhao Yun's charge.

Many soldiers didn't even have time to surrender, they were scattered by this torrent, and finally turned into mud under their feet.

But more soldiers were killed and fled without a trace.

"My lord, it's Zhao Zilong. Zhao Zilong led an army to kill him!"

Under the big banner, on the commander's platform, Yuan Shao's face turned ashen after hearing the news from his subordinates.

Before arresting Zhang Liao and other three people and besieging them for nearly an hour, Zhao Yun didn't show up. This made Yuan Shao think that Xuzhou's reinforcements had not arrived yet, so he relaxed his peripheral defense.

But who would have imagined that Zhao Yun could keep provoking without saying anything.

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked: "How many people did Zhao Zilong lead to kill, and how is our army's defense?"

"Covering the sky and covering the moon, there are countless numbers. Our army is busy besieging and killing, how could we know that Zhao Zilong would lead the army to kill them, and there will be heavy casualties in an instant, my lord!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao didn't have any luck in his heart, and his brows were full of despair.

"Zhao Zilong... you are so ruthless!"

Among the rebellious army, Zhang Liao, who was fighting, also saw Zhao Yun's arrival, and his brows were filled with joy.

After all, it lasted until this moment!
"Brothers, Yuan Shao has already been defeated, follow me to kill him! The lord has an order, whoever wins Yuan Shao's head will be named a Marquis!"

As for the other two armies led by Lu Qian and Xu Rong, after an hour of hard fighting, they were at the end of their strength at this time, and after being rescued by Zhao Yun's army, they joined forces to attack Yuan Shao's banner.

"My lord, Zhao Zilong is coming, and the army is powerless to resist, so please leave quickly, my lord!"

At a critical moment, Yuan Shao's personal commander drew his sword and shouted, pulling Yuan Shao to retreat.

But no matter how hard he tried, Yuan Shao remained majestic and unmoved.

"My lord, let's go!"

Yuan Shao seemed to turn a deaf ear to the yell of the commander of the personal soldiers, and looked at the two enemy troops in front of him that were attacking him, but smiled sadly.

go?
Where to go!

How could he get out of the trap that Zhao Zilong had set up quietly?

Even if you can retreat, where should you go?

Before turning down his face to ask Yuan Shu for help, it was because he still had nearly [-] troops under his command. Even if he temporarily committed himself to others, there was still time to see the sun.

But now the soldiers under his command fled in all directions, and those who can fight for themselves are only left in front of them...

In troubled times, if you have no capital, who will look at you?
I think back then when I dominated Jizhou, called the wind and called the rain, and billions of creatures had to rely on me, what a scenery it was.

Now, in just a few short months, he has become a bereaved dog, and he is in constant fear.

The big gap between front and back is like a residual dream.

When I woke up from the dream, it only came to a sad end.

Uncle Yuan Kui once said that the destiny is easier and the Yuan family should prosper, and Yuan Shao deeply agrees with this.

Now it seems that the person who can make the Yuan family prosperous is not me after all...

It's ridiculous that I have fought for my life for half my life, but in the end, ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust, and no one knows the end.

……

In the first year of Yongxing, winter.

Luoyang.

This year the world is not peaceful, natural disasters are frequent, man-made disasters are rampant, and the people are suffering, which causes many people to have troubles.

There are rumors in the field, and there are party disputes in the government.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, playing tricks, eunuchs and relatives fought frequently and continued.

The struggle between eunuchs and relatives disturbed the current emperor Liu Zhi unbearably.The natural disasters and man-made disasters in the wild also forced His Majesty the benevolent emperor to give amnesty to the world in May.

But the biggest disaster does not lie in this. The domineering general Liang Ji once used a poisonous biscuit to kill the original Emperor Zhi, and he has made great contributions to supporting the present. He is also the emperor's father-in-law.

As a foreign relative, Liang Ji has reached the pinnacle of his life at this time.However, the emperor was worried about the loss of power, and even more worried about his own life, so he supported a group of eunuchs to control the court in an attempt to check and balance Liang Ji.

But how could these eunuchs be Liang Ji's opponents? After a wave of contests, they were killed by the powerful Liang Ji.

When relatives and eunuchs were fighting, the gentry, as usual, moved small benches to watch the excitement, watching this big scene of the middle door confronting the enemy forcefully.

Of course, the relatives are originally from the gentry, and they are more inclined to cooperate with the family, so when the relatives fall into a disadvantage, the gentry will inevitably lend a helping hand.

After all, those eunuchs are all picky people, not popular.

If they really controlled the government, wouldn't it be a defilement of the sacred artifacts of the country, and what face do we scholars have to stand in the court?

Of course, that's all there is to it.

The gentry are willing to help their relatives, but they must also be within the scope of not affecting themselves.

After all, they have a clear understanding in their hearts, no matter whether the emperor engages in relatives or not, eunuchs or not, it still depends on us to govern the world!

The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, which is not just talk.

But now that his relative Liang Ji is in full swing, he is naturally super brave, and he doesn't need the help of the gentry.

But a few days ago, as the leader of the gentry, a major event happened to the Yuan family.

Today's Taiwei Yuan Tang was dismissed from the position of the third prince and returned home to take care of himself.

In fact, this is not a big deal. After all, the positions of the three princes take turns, which has become an unspoken rule in the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuan Tang's dismissal is just a formality, and he will be used by the emperor again in a few years.

But three days after Yuan Tang was dismissed, a baby boy was born in Yuan's mansion.

At this moment, the Yuan Mansion, even though it was only three days since the Patriarch Yuan Tang was dismissed from his position as Taiwei, was a bit lively.

Yuan Feng stood in front of the house, facing the busy servants, and heard the cries of the women in the house, but his eyes were calm, like an outsider.

Not long after, his younger brother Yuan Kai rushed over, with a smile on his face, he bowed his hands to Yuan Feng and said, "Second brother, congratulations!"

"Where does the joy come from?"

Yuan Feng shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

Yuan Kui continued to laugh and said, "Second brother got a son today, wouldn't you be happy about it?"

"Ciyang, I see that your skin is itchy, so I can't come here to fight you." Yuan Feng sneered, "I don't know if it's a man or a woman, so how do you tell?"

Yuan Kui waved his hand and said, "Second brother, I have been wronged! Isn't this a good omen?"

"That's right, then I will accept your good words." Yuan Feng also smiled, "Oh, it's all because I drank some wine that day, otherwise I wouldn't..."

"Second brother, what are you talking about, my family in Runan Yuan is small, you and my brother are naturally responsible for spreading the branches and leaves, the more juniors the better."

Yuan Feng smiled wryly and said: "Although that is the case, the woman is just a maid... If it is a man, it is fine, but if it is a girl, it is not beautiful."

This is an era when the blood is greater than the sky, not only the patrilineal blood, but also the matrilineal blood.

As for the maid, it's just a dispensable item.

It was also to blame that the maid was too beautiful, which caused Yuan Feng to be attracted by her beauty. After a night of conquest, she didn't want to suddenly fall into her soul, and her womb was secretly knotted.

The accuracy of marksmanship is enough to make most men in this world ashamed!
On the one hand, Yuan Feng naturally understands the principle of having more sons, more blessings, and it is his bounden duty to spread branches and leaves for the Yuan family.

On the other hand, the thought of his son having the blood of a lowly maidservant made him feel a little apprehensive.

That's where the ambivalence comes from.

Just at this time, a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the room. It was strong and powerful, and the voice was loud and clear.

The door was opened, and the maid came out holding a baby and handed it to Yuan Feng.

"Young Master, a baby boy was born, mother and child are safe!"

The maid shouted with joy.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yuan Feng's face, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's take it in, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold."

Yuan Feng only glanced at it, then waved his sleeves.

"only!"

The maid promised, turned around and walked back to the room.

After a while, Yuan Kai's eyes flickered slightly, but he said, "Second Brother, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"You and my brother, to put it bluntly."

Hearing this, Yuan Kai showed a trace of sadness, and slowly said: "Second brother, I think that the three of us were brothers and sisters, and we made an appointment to be a marquis and pay homage together. But I don't want my elder brother to die early, and there is not even a trace of flesh and blood left behind. Every time I think about this, my heart hurts like a knife..."

Yuan's generation is actually four brothers, but the eldest, Yuan Ping, died before his first birthday, so Yuan Kai always called them three brothers.

Hearing Yuan Kai talk about his elder brother Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng also sighed, and asked, "Ciyang, what do you mean, adopt this son to elder brother to inherit the clan?"

"That's right, but this son is the second brother's flesh and blood after all, it depends on what the second brother wants."

"This is what brothers should do, so why bother to hide it, I just ask my father to make a decision."

Yuan Kai said with a smile: "Come on, let's go to visit my father right now, and just let him give this son a name."

The two brothers hit it off immediately, and just as they turned to leave, the Patriarch Yuan Tang appeared in the courtyard.

Knowing that a baby boy was born, Yuan Tang, who stayed behind closed doors for the past few days, also made an exception to come out once.

"Meet your father!"

The two brothers clasped their hands together.

Yuan Tang leaned on his crutches, stroked his beard and said, "The old man has heard what your two brothers said just now, so this matter is settled. As for this son, he will be named Shao."

Two days later, Yuan Tang summoned the clan's children and announced that Yuan Shao had been adopted into Yuan Cheng's lineage as the heir of the clan.

Three years later, another baby boy was born in the Yuan Mansion.

But this time, not only brothers Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui waited nervously in front of the room, but even the patriarch Yuan Tang came here dragging his sick body.

Because it was Yuan Fengzheng's wife who gave birth to a son this time, the whole family was prepared as if they were facing an enemy.

Three-year-old Yuan Shao was also among them. After seeing his biological father, he looked very happy, and couldn't help rushing over, shouting in a childish voice: "My child pays homage to Father!"

Yuan Feng looked at his son, but frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "How many times have I told you that you should call Uncle XX. If you commit the crime again, XX will ask for family law."

Little Yuan Shao seemed to be frightened, he was stunned for a while before he could not hold back his tears, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Uncle!"

Yuan Feng just nodded.

"Uncle, I want to see my mother, please allow me, my uncle."

Hearing the word "mother", Yuan Feng's heart that had already calmed down was agitated again, pointing at little Yuan Shao and scolding angrily: "That lowly maid is not your mother, if someone hears you calling that lowly maid as your mother again , go and get the family law yourself!"

"The child knows..."

Yuan Shao replied with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, why should the second brother be so harsh, Shao'er is only three years old now, and it's normal for him to be ignorant."

Yuan Kai saw that Yuan Shao was crying, but he didn't dare to cry out, so he immediately persuaded him, and at the same time he held Yuan Shao in his arms.

"Humph!"

Yuan Feng snorted coldly, playing tricks on Yuan Kai.

Yuan Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this time, the cry of a baby came from the room.

The maid came out with a baby in her arms, and said with joy like three years ago: "Congratulations to the master, young master, the young lady gave birth to a baby boy, mother and child are safe!"

"Hurry up, give someone a hug!"

Yuan Feng impatiently took the baby boy from the handmaid, with a happy smile on his face.

After watching for a while, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly carried the baby boy to his father Yuan Tang.

At this time, Yuan Kai also put Yuan Shao on the ground and leaned over to watch.

For a moment, the entire Yuan Mansion was filled with a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.

Except for Yuan Shao who hid in the corner alone, not saying a word, with an inexplicable and unclear expression in his eyes.

That night, Yuan's Mansion held a large banquet, and the famous officials' families in the capital also came to congratulate them with rich gifts.

Also that night, Yuan Shao's biological mother, the maidservant who had had a happy night with Yuan Feng, suddenly hanged herself to death.

Yuan Feng also heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that Yuan Kai had completed the task he had given him.

In this way, that Zhuzi should completely stop thinking about it.

In another five years, when Yuan Shao and his younger brother Yuan Shu were playing in the courtyard, they accidentally pushed Yuan Shu to the ground. His father Yuan Feng was furious and even gave him ten lashes.

Looking at Yuan Shao who was beaten to pieces and wailed in pain, Yuan Feng's eyes were still as icebergs as ever.

This time, even his uncle Yuan Wei did not help to intercede.

It was also this time that Yuan Feng uttered a sentence that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could never forget in their lifetime.

"You are a concubine, he is a concubine, you were born to be used by him.

From now on, if you can't distinguish between the master and the slave, I will drive you out of the house! "

……

"The master follows the honorable... The master follows the honorable..."

In front, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were about to attack, but the commander beside him was still trying his best to persuade Yuan Shao to retreat.

But for Yuan Shao, what echoed in his mind was what his father Yuan Feng said to him when he was young.

"Master and subordinate...is it really that important?"

Yuan Shao raised his head and found that the darkness was gradually receding, and a ray of light flashed in the east, and dawn was approaching.

If the entire Yuan family's resources are used by him, this battle may not be lost!

And after his own defeat, Yuan Shu was by no means Liu Bei's opponent.

In this way, Yuan's Dangxing became empty talk.

No matter how much unwillingness is in my heart, it is difficult to change the reality in front of me...

Well, maybe this is fate.

I, Yuan Benchu, have fought against the sky all my life, just wanting to prove that a bastard can achieve great things.

But in the end, it was still nothing.

"The enemy army is coming for someone, so let's run for our lives!"

Looking at these soldiers who were still loyal to him until now, Yuan Shao said slowly.

"No, we are willing to live and die with the lord!"

The soldiers around Yuan Shao shouted loudly.

"Why bother..."

At this time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were already in front of him, and his soldiers were about to fight to the death, but Yuan Shao stopped him.

Yuan Shao straightened his clothes, straightened his waist, and said loudly, "Zhao Zilong, are you alone?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't want to resist anymore, Zhao Yun got off his horse, clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and said, "General Cheqi, I will be ordered by my lord to invite General Cheqi back to the city for a briefing."

Zhao Yun was benevolent after all, saving Yuan Shao the last bit of face.

"You, Zhao Zilong, are a kind person." Yuan Shao smiled, "But you haven't answered a certain question, why doesn't he, Liu Xuande, come?"

Zhao Yun had no choice but to evade, "My lord is busy with business, so I can't get away."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "I'm so busy with business, it seems that after several months of fierce fighting, he Liu Xuande did not regard XX as an opponent after all, and he didn't come to see XX for the last time, he really is defiant!
It's fine if Liu Xuande doesn't come, but where is Lin Zichu?
He has always been good at using intrigues and tricks, and the defeat this time is all thanks to him.Now that the trick is successful, he doesn't want to see what will happen to him? "

Zhao Yun clasped his fists again and said: "General Cheqi misunderstood, my supervisor is not a vicious person. On the battlefield, each of us must rely on his own means."

"Speaking of which, I'm being stingy."

Keng!
With a crisp sound, Yuan Shao drew his sword across his neck.

"Forget it, it's a blessing that I can die at the hands of you, Zhao Zilong, so that I won't be humiliated by a villain..."

After saying that, Yuan Shao exerted force with his hand, and when the sharp knife penetrated into the flesh, a gust of hot blood sprayed out with a roar, and he fell to the ground and died.

So far, the end of a generation of heroes.

"Lord!"

Yuan Shao's soldiers all knelt down and cried.

Looking at Yuan Shao's body, Zhao Yun remained silent, his face neither happy nor sad.

After a long time, Zhao Yun stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes, and saluted Yuan Shao's body to the end.

"Yuan Gong, go all the way!"

……

Dingtao city.

When Xin Pi returned to the county government office, his brother Xin Ping was lighting a candle on the table.

The lights flickered on and off, reflecting Xin Ping's face was also a little dignified.

"Brother, the city gate is wide open, the Xuzhou army has entered the city." Simpi clasped his hands.

Hearing this, Xin Ping asked blankly, "How is the battle in that city?"

Hearing this question, Sim Pi laughed, and then told the news that the Xuzhou Army had entered the city with grain and grass, and finally took down Dingtao almost without bloodshed.

As for the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, most of them surrendered on the spot and went to make food with food.

Xin Ping shook his head, and said with a smile: "This must be Lin Zichu's handwriting, this person really has unpredictable abilities."

"Brother..." After hesitating for a moment, Xin Pi said slowly, "Yuan Benchu ​​must have gone out of the city this time and never came back. Now that he's done, but I don't seem very happy to see you, brother."

"Happy?" Xin Ping asked back, "Why is a certain happy?"

"But……"

Xin Ping waved his hand and interrupted: "A certain person agreed to be his internal response in Xuzhou because it was for Xun Wenruo's sake, and Yuan Benchu's appearance was too ugly, and he immediately forced Han Shijun to death after he won Jizhou. How can a narrow-minded person compete for the world?"

"Since that's the case, we have made great contributions, and Taiwei Liu will treat him as a courtesy. Why are you unhappy, brother?"

Xin Ping shook his head and said, "George, in life, besides power, there is also fame."

"Brother, are you worried about bearing the name of the Lord?"

"good."

"Then why don't you ask Lin Zichu and Xun Wenruo to explain the whole story to the world, so as to justify your brother's name."

"Do you think the world will believe it?"

"This……"

Just when Xin Pi was speechless, Xin Ping smiled freely and said, "Forget it, if you dare to do it, you have to be brave. If the world wants to discuss it, let them go. Knowing that I have sinned against me is only a matter of age. "

"It's a good one who knows that I have sinned against me, but only in the spring and Autumn period. Brother Zhongzhi is magnanimous, and I admire it!"

As soon as Xin Ping finished speaking, a voice sounded outside the door.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps.

Hearing this, Xin Ping also laughed, and at the same time stood up and said: "Jorge, the distinguished guest has arrived, let me go out to meet the guest with XX."

"only!"

Simpi responded.

The two brothers immediately opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

What came oncoming was a middle-aged man in his 30s with long arms and big ears.

Half a step behind him was a 25-year-old young man dressed in white and holding a folding fan.

Seeing this, Xin Ping's complexion changed, and he was even slightly taken aback.

Of course he could recognize Liu Bei and Lin Chao, but he never expected that Liu Bei would come in person.

Lin Chaolai is not unusual, after all, this guy is his connector.As the lord of Xuzhou, Liu Bei should personally send Yuan Shao off for the last time, so he came here anyway.

"Greetings to Lord Xuande!"

After all, the Xin brothers are not ordinary people, so they immediately reacted and bowed to Liu Bei to the end.

Liu Bei hurried over, and when he pulled the two brothers up, he swam with his arms.

"Don't be so courteous, you two. If there are no two, how can a certain person win, let alone enter this city. Go, and talk inside."

Although the two are used to hearing other people's compliments, Liu Bei's high position can be so courteous and virtuous as a corporal, which makes them a little excited.

Everyone in the world calls Liu Xuande the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness, seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!

After everyone entered, Liu Bei was not polite, and sat down on the seat that originally belonged to Yuan Shao.

When he was about to speak, he heard Shoulin Chaolang chanting:

"Don't you see, Gaoyang drunkard is drafting, and he bows to Duke Longzhun of Shandong.

If you don't want to be eloquent at the beginning, the two women will stop washing to catch the wind.

Qicheng 72 in the east, commanding Chu and Han like a swirl. "

This poem is selected from a passage in the famous work "Liang Fu Yin" by the poet Li Bai, and it tells the story of Li Shiqi, a drunkard in Gaoyang.

Lin Chao reciting it on this occasion is equivalent to defining the behavior of the Xin brothers.

A hero, a great hero, Lin Changshi himself a firm hero!
Except for Liu Bei, all the people present are well-educated people, so they can naturally hear the meaning.

After listening to Xin Ping, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Although Lin Zichu was a bit of a bad person, he didn't have a bird's bow after all, and he could be called an ancient gentleman.

With this in mind, Xin Ping bowed his hands to Lin Chao and said: "The long history is too famous, how dare I compare it with the sages!"

Lin Chao replied: "Brother Zhongzhi, you don't need to be humble. You have made great achievements and hard work, and Duke Xuande will reward you generously!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately interjected, "That's right, I'll keep in mind the merits of the two of you. When it's time to reward meritorious deeds, there must be a high-ranking official with a generous salary!"

"Thank you, Lord Xuande!"

The two quickly clasped their hands together.

Lin Chao brought Liu Bei together, the main purpose was to appease the Xin brothers and dispel their doubts at the same time.

Now that the city has just been broken, Liu Bei has far more to do than that. Seeing that the Xin brothers had taken reassurance, Liu Bei left the city to appease the hearts of the army and the people, and left the stage to Lin Chao.

At this time, apart from himself, only Xun Yu and Xun Chen were left in the room, so Lin Chao simply opened the skylight to speak frankly.

"Brother Zhongzhi, you two brothers have made great contributions this time, do you want to take up any position?"

The reason why I took the initiative to ask and express my attitude is also to hope that these two people can quickly integrate into the Xuzhou Group.

However, such a straightforward way of talking was obviously not expected by the Xin brothers, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a while, Xin Pingcai cupped his hands and said, "It's all based on the long history."

Seeing that Xin Ping seemed to be lacking in interest, Lin Chao said, "Brother Zhongzhi seems to have something on his mind?"

Xun Yu next to him was very understanding, he said with a smile: "Zi Chu, as the saying goes, people's words are scary, and I think that brother Zhong Zhi's heart knot is here."

Hearing this, Xin Ping first sighed, then nodded again.

"Someone was negligent." Lin Chao said with a smile, "If brother Zhongzhi doesn't want to use this achievement as a qualification for promotion, then there is another good place to go. After the incident is completed, there is no need for others to rectify his name, and brother Zhongzhi will naturally be famous in history. "

Hearing this, Xin Ping became interested.

"Dare to ask Chang Shi, where is he going?"

Xin Ping naturally has great ambitions in his heart, but he doesn't want to be said to rely on the seller to reach a high position.

Lin Chao smiled, and slowly spit out two words:
"Beyond the Great Wall."
