Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 470 Intrigue
A group of Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan's army had just crossed the Yellow River.

Just when the two of them were about to cross the river with the second group, a scout suddenly came to report in panic, "Report! General! After crossing the river, General Guo was ambushed by the Xiliang Army and Cao Army!"

Gao Gan suddenly learned that Guo Yuan was ambushed by Ma Chaojun and Cao Jun on the south bank, and immediately became furious, "Ma Teng, you shameless old thief with no morals!"

At this time, Hu Chuquan also got the news and rushed over.

After seeing Gao Gan, just when Hu Chuquan wanted to ask Gao Gan if he wanted to rescue Guo Yuan, Gao Gan suddenly shouted: "Get out!"

"?" Hu Chuquan was stunned when he heard that Gao Gan called out directly.

Seeing that Hu Chuquan was unclear, Gao Gan explained: "Guo Yuan is Zhong Yao's nephew. Even if he was caught, he would not be in danger of his life. Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu are brave people. How can we cross the river one after another to help? Why don't you go to die? It's better to save your troops and retreat to the east of the river, at least you won't let the sacrifices of your brothers go to waste."

Hu Chuquan thought for a while, and thought it was reasonable, "What the governor said is reasonable, let's withdraw first!"

Gao Gan and Hu Chuquan withdrew their troops, and Guo Yuan was ambushed and killed by the two armies of Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu.

Ma Teng was overjoyed when he heard the news that Pound had beheaded Guo Yuan, and he said to Zhang Ji beside him, "Sir, Guo Yuan is dead, and Hedong is at his fingertips. Look."

Zhang Ji smiled and cupped his hands and said: "The general has made the first contribution for the prime minister and the great man, and the emperor and the prime minister will naturally reward them according to their merits.

However, because the general has made too much contribution, it is necessary to wait for the envoy to reply Xudu to report to the emperor before making a decision. "

"Hahaha! It should be so!" Ma Teng replied with a smile, but he immediately restrained his complacency and said to Zhang Ji: "I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Mr. Yuan Huanwang can speak well for me in front of the prime minister and the emperor."

Zhang Ji nodded and said: "General, don't worry, you should be thoughtful as a general!"

With a solemn expression, Ma Teng cupped his hands in return and said, "Thank you sir!"

Besides, Pang De beheaded Guo Yuan and sent his head into the tent of Cao Jun's central army.

When Zhong Yao saw Guo Yuan's dead head, his face turned pale, and tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.

Pang De and Ma Chao didn't know the relationship between Guo Yuan and Zhong Yao. Seeing Zhong Yao's violent reaction at this moment, they were very strange.

"What's the situation? Is the commander of the three armies even afraid of dead heads?" Ma Chao muttered.

"Major General, be careful," Pound whispered beside him.

Standing aside, Zhu Yong keenly heard the conversation between Ma Chao and Pang De. He didn't want Zhong Yao to be misunderstood by the two outsiders, so he explained to them: "You two don't know something. Wei's nephew"

"Nephew!!" Upon hearing this, Pang De and Ma Chao's expressions immediately changed, and they clasped their fists together and said, "Captain, we really don't know about your relationship with General Guo."

After Zhong Yao took two deep breaths, he finally regained his senses. He waved his hands to Ma Chao and Pang De and said, "It's okay, there are no eyesight on the battlefield. You two are doing very well, very well."

Pound and Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhong Yao's relief.The two of them didn't dare to claim credit and stayed any longer, so they clasped their fists together and said, "If that's the case, then the two of us will return to the camp to report to the commander-in-chief (general)."

"Go, take a word for me to General Ma Teng."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Under the governance of the Prime Minister and General Hussars, the population and prosperity of the Central Plains have even surpassed the heyday of the Han Dynasty.

If you have a chance, you generals can also go to the Central Plains to take a look at the colorful world. "

Zhong Yao's words were an invitation as well as a deterrent.

The large population of the Central Plains means that there are sufficient guarantees for soldiers; the prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains means that they can fight protracted wars.

Ma Chao and Pound looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "Yes, I will definitely bring the captain's words with me."

Zhong Yao forced a smile, and said, "The two generals have worked hard too, let's go back and rest first."

"Farewell!"

After Ma Chao and Pang De left, Zhong Yao stared at Guo Yuan's head on the table, reached out and gently closed his eyes, Wei Ran sighed, "Forget it, you should have a good rest."

When the intrigue in Hedong was in full swing, the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan in Jizhou were not idle.

At first, Cao Cao took the initiative to lead his troops to withdraw from Hebei. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan thought that Cao Cao retreated because he was afraid of their 20 troops. This made them feel complacent for a while.

Although some counselors pointed out the conspiracy, the two brothers didn't take it too seriously.

In other words, even if they knew Cao Cao's sinister intentions, one of them would attack the other. After all, it was impossible for others to snore on the side of the couch.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Since Yuan Shang sent the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to help Yuan Tan, the relationship between the two brothers has apparently eased.

But Yuan Shang heard the frequent reports of success in Hedong, so he couldn't wait to clean up Yuan Tan.

He is going to set up a Hongmen banquet and invite Yuan Tan to come to the appointment.The external rhetoric is to make amends to Yuan Tan in person, hoping that the two brothers can clear up their previous suspicions and reject foreign enemies together.

It would be great if this is the case, but the judge can naturally see Yuan Shang's true intentions.

That night, the judge immediately asked Yuan Shang secretly to see him, saying that this matter must not be done, and persuaded Yuan Shang earnestly: "Brothers, you are also the left and right hands. Now there are powerful enemies outside who are constantly watching and fighting. If we judge ourselves Hand, how can we compete with Cao Lu? If we don’t even care about brotherhood, then who else in the world is willing to help us?”

But Yuan Shang has been blinded by the temptation of power, and his desire for power has surpassed brotherhood. No, it is hard to say whether there is brotherhood between them.
Unable to care about so much, Yuan Shang thought that now Cao Cao's energy was being involved in Hedong, and he had no time to worry about Jizhou. This was the best time for him to eradicate internal troubles.

"Zhengnan doesn't need to say much, this Marquis has his own arrangements." Yuan Shang dismissed the trial allocation with a single sentence, and then summoned Guo Tu and Feng Ji to prepare to arrange matters related to the removal of Yuan Tan.

Qinghe County.

After Yuan Shao's death, both the official position and the title were inherited by Yuan Shang. In order not to lose the wind in front of Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan appointed himself a general of the guard.

Originally, he wanted to lead the chariot and cavalry general himself, but thinking that the current chariot and cavalry general is Lu Bu, Yuan Tan took the initiative to lower himself a level, so as not to irritate Lu Bu who had finally calmed down.
Now Yuan Tan seems to be a little decadent. Both military and political affairs are handed over to Xin Ping, and he himself spends all day drinking and having fun in General Wei's mansion.

Today, Yuan Tan got drunk as usual, and when he was about to pull a maid to warm the bed, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Report to General Wei! The General sent an invitation card!"

"Who?!" Yuan Tan thought he was too drunk and had auditory hallucinations, so he confirmed.

"It's the general, Marquis Ye! He sent an invitation card!"

"." Yuan Tan pushed away the maid who had just been hugged into his arms, and then fell into deep thought: "The third son is a bastard, what kind of twisted thoughts are you trying to get?"
