Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 490 The meaning of the drunkard
The generals of the Cao camp in front of Xia Houyuan numbered in the dozens, all of whom were born in the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and belonged to the direct line of the Cao camp.

Because this operation was extremely secretive, Cao Cao's most direct descendants were used, and there wasn't even a general with a foreign surname among them.

What Cao Cao said in Fenggao City in front of Le Jin Yu Jin and other generals with foreign surnames actually concealed a lot of truth. Cao Cao actually didn't want to make peace with Liu Bei!
If you want to negotiate peace, you have to wait until Liu Bei is cornered and then recruit him. In this way, the conditions that the other party can propose are extremely limited, and maybe he can be included!

So after everyone dispersed that day, Cao Cao left Cheng Yu behind, and changed the plan after discussion.

In this plan, not only the course of action has changed, but even the final goal has undergone a huge change!
Xia Houyuan said to the generals: "Today's matter is very critical, it is related to the gains and losses of Xuzhou, and even the general trend of the world in the future."

"If it succeeds, the Cao family will reverse the strength comparison with the Yuan family."

"But if the matter fails, the Cao family will be in danger of collapse, and the envoy will be no exception!"

"Your entrustment of your family and life to us, you must lure that person out at all costs!"

All the generals of the Cao family heard this, and they all roared in a low voice: "I will die for the sake of the king!"

Seeing more and more people gathering at the gate of the northern city, Mi Fang knew that the time had come, so she waved her hand and ordered the soldiers to open the gate. accident.

Under the pressure of uncontrollable forces, some people finally lost their feet and fell to the ground. The next moment, his body was trampled by countless feet, and he died instantly with only a weak scream.

The people in the crowd had no time to care about what they were stepping on, and they just rushed out of the city desperately. The corpses under their feet gradually lost their original shape and turned into a flat sack with blood dripping from them.

People kept tripping and falling to the ground, and then the fate of the previous person repeated, and then more and more people came, finally forming a crowd that was getting higher and higher, blocking the city gate.

When the people behind saw him, they tried their best to pull the corpses apart, trying to squeeze out of the city through the gap. The old, young, women and children were pushed to the ground by the strong ones, and for a while they cried loudly.

A toddler was sitting on the ground, desperately shaking the dead body of his parents in front of him. The panicked people behind him just lifted their feet, but they were tripped by the toddler. They both fell to the ground, and then were run over by the people behind. Shapeless things, blood gradually covered the ground.

Mi Fang saw that people from all over the city began to rush towards the north gate, so she returned to Mi Mansion immediately, took all the slaves with her, let Mi Zhen sit in a carriage, and the group fled to the south gate.

Mifang Street was completely out of control, and he lifted the curtain and said, "Brother, this is too messy, shouldn't we clear the four gates first, let the people go out separately, and then we leave?"

Mi Fang shook her head and said: "In this situation, we can only take care of ourselves. We may encounter danger outside the city. How can we have time to do this?"

Mi Zhen frowned slightly, "Brother is the prefect of the East China Sea, it is difficult to explain to the envoy that he abandoned the city now, if the people are involved."

Mi Fang became more and more irritable, "Little sister is too pedantic, then Guan Yu has taken all the soldiers away, how can I defend the city?"

"I have insisted until now that I have exhausted my benevolence and righteousness. He, Guan Yu, relied on his relationship with the envoy to bully others too much. If there were soldiers, why would I do this?"

Mi Zhen said in a low voice: "But after all, he left his post without permission, in case you make the king blame you"

Mi Fang's face was gloomy, "It's making me anxious, it's just a big deal!"

Mi Zhen couldn't help but sighed and lowered the car curtain.

When the caravan arrived at the south gate, there were indeed fewer people waiting. Mi Fang immediately ordered to open the city gate, but he didn't leave the city immediately. Out of town.

Because the north gate opened first, most of the people were crowded at the north gate, and there were far fewer people at the south gate.

Mi Fang followed hundreds of fleeing people and left the city smoothly. She couldn't help but feel quite proud, because she figured it out herself!
The common people are the same as domestic slaves, aren't they all used for their own use?
While urging his servants to follow the fleeing people closely, he watched the direction of escape. From the south gate along the Huai River, as long as you walked twenty or thirty miles southwest, there was a wharf for crossing the river.

Crossing the river from the pier is the boundary of Guangling, and then you can get Yuan Xi's protection!

He was thinking in his heart, and he had already walked seven or eight miles without knowing it. Seeing that he was getting closer to the pier, there was a commotion in front of the team.

He suddenly felt something was wrong, and saw the spies sent out before fleeing back on horseback, shouting, "Prefect, the ferry has been occupied by a large group of thieves, and they are rushing over here!"

Mi Fang was shocked at first, then said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? They are just some bandits. Go over and kill them!"

The spy hurriedly said: "Prefect, you can't do it, those people are extremely brave, and there are at least a thousand of them, they are powerless to fight!"

Mi Fang couldn't believe it: "How is it possible!"

"Where are there so many people! Where did they come out!"

But he still has a little luck, his servant is no worse than ordinary soldiers, so he should be able to defeat him, right?
While he was in doubt, he only heard the sound of horseshoes, but dozens of cavalry dressed as bandits rushed over from a distance.

Seeing that there were not many people, Mi Fang didn't care, she called the general beside her and said: "You take a hundred people, go up and kill him!"

The general listened, and rushed forward with more than 100 soldiers.

Mi Fang thought to herself that this general is also considered proficient in martial arts, waiting for seven or eight people is not his opponent, he should be able to defeat the opponent in an instant, right?
Hearing a sudden shout, he opened his eyes in disbelief. His general couldn't make a three-step move, and was actually stabbed under the horse by the opponent's leader with a spear!
The leader shouted: "Hold them, the army will arrive in a moment, and none of them will be able to escape by then!"

Mi Fang panicked and shouted: "Hurry up, let's all go north!"

The bandit leader on the other side is absolutely wrong!
How can ordinary rogues have such high martial arts skills?
He looked at the other party's attire, gritted his teeth and said, "Taishan thief!"

It must be Yuan Tan, taking advantage of Yuan Shu's attack on Xiapi, wanting to take advantage of the fire to loot and occupy the East China Sea!

Mi Fang instantly felt that she had guessed the truth, and now the other party wants to block the pier and prevent her from escaping south!
Now he can only escape in another direction. Although there may be ambushes in other directions, it is better than dying in the hands of the enemy now!
We can’t go to Haixi. Now we can only go to Houqiu in the west or Ju County in the northwest!
Mi Fang fled in embarrassment, and at the same time ordered the slaves to block the bandit army behind, dozens of enemy cavalry chased them all the way, and more than half of the 200 slaves broke up, only Mi Fang fled desperately with more than [-] people.

Seeing the direction in which Mi Fang led the people to escape, the leader who was chasing him sneered, and chased after him unhurriedly, thinking that the eunuch is really a waste, even a little guy like himself can't stop him!

But that's good, it saves a lot of trouble, now just like driving a rabbit, drive it to the target town and surround it, and then you can complete General Xiahou's goal!

There was a sound of horseshoes behind, and hundreds of people rushed over. The leading general carried a sword on his back, and said with a smile: "Mancheng is very powerful, I don't even have a chance to make a move."

It was several hours after Yuan Xi got the news of the accident in Qu City.

After he came back overnight, he excitedly distributed the seeds that he regarded as treasures, packed them into small iron boxes, put them into heavy wooden boxes, and sent ships to Youzhou and Guangling overnight.

Right now is the season for planting cotton seeds, and if it is too late, he will miss a whole year. He wrote to Chen Gui of Jicheng and Chen Deng of Guangling respectively, asking them to be in charge of planting cotton seeds, and told them that this is the most important thing. There must be no loss.

After working for most of the night, he fell into a deep sleep, but when he got up in the morning, he got the news that the city of Qu was in chaos, and there were many ships fleeing at its pier.

At first Yuan Xi didn't take it seriously, he thought how could the enemy come over so quickly, most likely it was Guan Yu's dispatch of troops, which caused the people in the city to fluctuate.

Sometimes Guan Yu is really too rigid in doing things, such as deploying troops with great fanfare, Yuan Xi would definitely not be able to do it.

Until now, Yuan Xi has not realized how things will develop. After all, in his opinion, Mi Fang just can't control the situation in the city. Even if he is really beaten into the city, he can go south by boat and ask himself for help. .

The two sides are separated by a river. Isn't it easy to come here?
But when the news came that Mi Fang had escaped directly from the city and went west, Yuan Xicai smelled something bad.

It is absolutely impossible for Mi Fang to be so stupid that instead of asking for help, she ran to other directions, there must be something hidden in it!
He approached Jushou Lu Xun and said, "What do you two think about this matter?"

Ju Shou said: "This matter is not that simple."

"Mr. Mi's residence does not take the waterway, which means that he was forced to do nothing. It is likely that something happened to the pier."

"To be able to control so many ships at the dock, I'm afraid Qu City has already been infiltrated."

"I guess that Governor Mi's escape may have been expected by the other party."

"Anyone who can plan such a scheme must be meticulous in his calculations. I'm afraid that no matter where Mi Fujun goes, he won't be able to escape the opponent's palm."

When Yuan Xi heard this, his complexion was a little ugly. Qucheng, which is very close to Haixi, was infiltrated like this, which made Yuan Xi start to be vigilant. Thinking that Mi Fang might be more dangerous than good, he said: "Both sides are the same side. , I want to send troops to rescue, what do you two think?"

Ju Shou and Lu Xun said at the same time: "Make you think twice."

Lu Xun saw that Jushou signaled him to speak, and immediately said: "Although you have soldiers in your hands, you have no generals."

"Besides, the other party's move may not be a trap. It is recommended to wait and see."

Yuan Xi sighed, "Even if they were all killed?"

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, "The other party shouldn't kill him before he achieves his goal."

"After all, no matter how Mi Fujun looks at it, he is not an opponent worthy of such efforts."

"Now, please calm down, young master, and dispatch the general over here, so that we won't lose our footing just now."

Yuan Xi was horrified when he heard this: "Could it be that General Guan's departure last night was also a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

Ju Shou sighed, "That may not be the case."

"I'm afraid that even Yuan Shu's attack is true. If Xiapi can't get away, Guangling may also be targeted."

"Sir, do you want to recruit generals from Youzhou?"
