I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 209

That day, Yuan Shao led more than 2000 remnants of his troops, at the cost of abandoning Qu Yi, and finally escaped with their lives, but they were still in panic all day long, and rushed all the way back to Jizhou to return to their old lair.

Soon on the road, he met the messenger sent by Yan Liang to report the letter. Only then did he know that the Bingzhou Army had raided Jizhou, and the situation in Jizhou was not good, and it was already precarious.

Yuan Shao was exhausted physically and mentally, and was deeply hit.Not reconciled, he immediately led the remnant army northward to find out the truth.

But before reaching Dangyin, bad news came one after another from the defeated soldiers fleeing south, saying that Weijun had been captured by Guan Yu, Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu, and three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were captured in Yecheng, and their lives and deaths were unknown. .

"What? Yan Liang was killed, and Wei Jun has been lost?" Yuan Shao asked in shock.

"Wuuuuuu, my lord, Jizhou is about to end." These soldiers who fled south cried bitterly.

"Ah..." Yuan Shao let out a long cry, fell off his horse, spurted blood, and fell unconscious.

"My lord, my lord..." Everyone hurriedly helped Yuan Shao up.

The only surviving military doctor in the army worked hard and rescued Yuan Shao.However, at this time Yuan Shao's heart was ashamed, his hair turned gray overnight, and he seemed to have no fighting spirit anymore, so he kept silent and closed his eyes in despair.

The army of more than 2000 has now been wiped out, and even the old nest in Jizhou has been taken away. Yuan Shao was indeed hit hard.Now he has less than [-] troops, and the generals in the army are dying and fleeing, and there are not many people available.

Comeback?Just daydreaming.

Yuan Shao knew that he had no chance to make a comeback, and the generals and counselors under his command naturally knew it too.

At this time Xu You felt very desperate, knowing that Yuan Shao's situation was over and he was powerless.But he was not willing to be buried with Yuan Shao, and he didn't want to wander the world incognito. He didn't want to live like this without hope for the rest of his life.

"My lord, don't blame me. We have exhausted everything. We have no choice but to borrow your head." Xu You wondered secretly.

Soon, Xu You contacted his cronies in the army, and through his cronies, he contacted other generals and schools. It took almost no effort.

That night, Xu You led the school captain who was willing to act with him, and sneaked into Yuan Shao's big tent. Breathing also proves that he is alive.

Xu You led people into the big tent, killed Yuan Shao's guards in twos and twos, and rushed directly to Yuan Shao who was lying on the sickbed.

Seeing Xu You and others leading troops in, the judges and others who were guarding the side shouted sharply: "Xu You, you are a rebellious person who dares to kill the lord. Who gave you the courage?"

Xu You, who had just rushed in, saw that all his attention was on Yuan Shao, and when he saw Yuan Shao, who was dying, his face was pale and haggard, and his uneasy heart finally settled down.

"It's just a sick tiger. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing Shenpei yelling at him again, Xu You said angrily: "Shenpei, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Yuan Shao is at the end of his rope. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what is wrong with me?"

"Sneaky villain, betraying the owner to seek glory, wasting the Lord's trust in you, changing to vote for Li Shimin, and even wanting to get the vote, there are shameless people like you in the world, I am ashamed to join you. "The judge continued to curse angrily.

Xu You's face turned into anger when he was scolded by the judge, and he was about to stab the judge like a mad tiger.

Fortunately, Shenpei usually gets along well with everyone, so the generals stopped Xu You one after another, "Sir, killing the lord is already a big treason, but Shenpei is a righteous man, so it is ominous to kill."

After being persuaded by all the sergeants, Xu You put away his long sword, but still roared angrily, "Come on, lock up the judge."

Only then did the soldiers come up and take the judge down.

Being so disturbed by the judge, everyone didn't pay attention to Yuan Shao. At some point, Yuan Shao actually sat up, with a ferocious face, glaring eyes, and muttering curses in his mouth, which was very frightening.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was still alive, all the troops were too frightened to move, no one dared to go up and take Yuan Shao's head.After all, this person was the high-ranking Lord of Jizhou before, with a prominent family background of four generations and three fathers.

Furthermore, Yuan Shao treated people like himself well in the past.

Seeing this, Xu You scratched his head a little bit, but now he was on the verge of death, and had no choice but to fire. He said to the generals, "There is no way out now. Do you want to be buried with him? Who killed him?" He, I reward him with 5000 taels of gold, go."

Yuan Shao's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he stared at Xu You with vicious eyes. His face was gloomy and terrifying. Xu You couldn't help trembling in fright, and he backed a few steps involuntarily.

Seeing that none of the soldiers were willing to step forward to take his head, Xu You shouted, "The reward is 1 taels! Go ahead."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. An inconspicuous sergeant who didn't even know his name shouted: "I'll come!"

The sergeant held a long knife in his hand, with frowning eyebrows, and slowly approached Yuan Shao. Seeing this, Yuan Shao couldn't see his eyes in pain. His family background of four generations and three fathers, a big man who usually lives in the clouds, died today in such an unknown What a great irony in the hands of such little people.

This unknown soldier raised his knife and fell, Yuan Shao's head rolled to the ground. A generation of heroes finally died at the hands of slaves, which is sad and deplorable.

Maybe this is the troubled times, people are like worthless, so what if you are a feudal lord?

…………

Xu You took Yuan Shao's head and rushed to Yecheng in the starry night, ready to change to the new master. Yuan Shao's head was the capital for his promotion.

At this time, Yecheng was already firmly controlled by the Bingzhou Army, and Zhang Yun led an army of [-] to defend Yecheng.Originally, Guan Yuzhi left Zhang Yun with an army of [-], and he himself led an army of [-] to go north. However, with the reorganization and acceptance of the elite of Yuan Shao's army, Zhang He stayed in Yecheng with [-] to [-] more troops, and his strength reached [-] to [-].

And Guan Yu went all the way north, attacking the city and pulling out the village, and also recruited many Yuan Jun soldiers. In addition to the return of the Bingzhou soldiers who had been lurking in Jizhou before, in addition to the 1 troops who stayed in the north of Jizhou, this time they rushed back to Yecheng. At that time, there were still more than 6 soldiers.

The reason why Guan Yu rushed back to Yecheng in a hurry was naturally because he had received a letter from Feige from Li Shimin, ordering him to lead his troops southward quickly, and together with Zhao Yun of Hanoi County, cut off the return of Cao Jun.

Just as Guan Yu led the troops to retreat to Yecheng, Xu You rushed to Yecheng first, and asked the Bingzhou army to claim credit.
