Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 669
When Yang Feng arrived at the gate of the Heishan camp, he jumped off his horse and led the horse slowly inside. At that time, the soldiers were alarmed, but due to military orders, they did not dare to surround them and only watched from a distance.

When they saw the corpse on the horse, they thought that this was the world-famous Lu Bu, but why did it seem that there was another one?
At this time, when they looked at Yang Feng, in addition to admiration, there was also a hint of awe, because they would never dare to think about snatching Lu Bu's body single-handedly in an enemy city surrounded by enemies.

When they approached Yuan Xi's camp, Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi had already come out to greet them. Yang Feng stopped and said to Yuan Xi, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Yuan Xi had a complicated look on his face. What thousands of soldiers couldn't do, Yang Feng actually did it!

The other party seemed to have improved his skills and skills during this period. If Yang Feng was willing to lower his body and assassinate him, Yuan Xi would have no confidence that he would survive.

He was a little lucky. Fortunately, he and Yang Feng were not enemies at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

Lu Lingqi took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and tried to identify the appearance of the two corpses on the horse.

Although the corpses had been exposed to the sun for half a month and their appearance had changed drastically, Lu Lingqi recognized at the first glance that these were indeed the corpses of Lu Bu and Yan.

Lu Lingqi bit her lips tightly and bowed to Yang Feng: "Thank you, Commander, for your great kindness in taking back the bodies of my parents."

Yang Feng turned aside and said calmly: "No need to thank me, he and I are just exchanging terms."

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly after hearing this, and asked the soldiers to prepare the coffin, collect the bodies of Lu Bu and his wife, and at the same time welcomed Zhang Feng into the tent and said, "Since Commander Yang has fulfilled his promise, I will definitely not break his oath."

"I also ask Commander Yang to stay here for a few days. I will find a way to lure Zhang Yan out of the city, and then I will find a way to capture him."

Zhang Feng said: "There is no need to use tactics. I am afraid that Zhang Yan and Ma Teng will lead an attack in the next few days."

She told the news she heard at the city gate last night. After hearing this, Yuan Xi thought about it and realized that the news was timely for him.

Cao Cao wants to return to Yanzhou and give Sili to Ma Teng, Zhang Yan and others to co-manage, so that they can sever his heir?

The news brought back by Yang Feng was very important. Even if the robbery of the body was exposed, the other party's movements would not change. In all likelihood, Cao Cao had even started to leave.

Yuan Xi did not expect to beat Cao Cao to death this time. Cao Cao's series of plans from Xuzhou to Yuzhou, from Yecheng to Huaicheng were really exquisite, and everyone in the world, including Yuan Xi, was led by them. The nose was gone, which made Yuan Xi couldn't help but admire the planning ability of Cao Ying's counselors and even Cao Cao himself.

The several counselors under his command were not weaker than Cao Ying's counselors individually. However, Cao Ying's counselors were both large in number and had Cao Cao, the master of strategy, to make the decision. On the side of Youzhou, Yuan Xi had to admit that he had restrictions on his own counselors. His shortcoming is himself.

In the past few years, because Yuan Xi was too smooth, after Cao Cao made several unexpected actions recently, Yuan Xi's response seemed not decisive enough. Although it was seen that the recruitment and demolition super resisted Cao Cao's several offensives, but But it has been unable to reverse the passive situation.

The words that Guo Jia asked Lu Lingqi to bring finally allowed Yuan Xi to calm down and think about it. Instead of being led away by the other party all the time, it would be better to break the rope that the other party used to run on his own, and then plan the next response.

According to Cao Cao's expectations, after he left, Yuan Xi should be unwilling to find an opportunity to attack Heishan and fight with Ma Teng, Han Sui and even Yuan Shu, thus falling into a long war of attrition. If Yuan Xi did this, it would play into Cao Cao's plan.

Cao Cao only needs Yuan Xi's mentality to trip him up in Black Mountain, and then he can rush back to Yanzhou to make the next plan. In this case, Yuan Xi will only be held back by Ma Teng, Zhang Yan and others, and will fall into a passive situation of following him.

Now that Yuan Xi has understood this, he will not easily fall into the other party's trap. However, in order to fulfill his promise to Yang Feng, he can also use the other party's heart at this time to pretend to fall into the trap and lure Zhang Yan out. !
Thinking of this, he called Jushou and Lu Xun to express his thoughts, and finally said: "Do you two think this arrangement is feasible?"

The two of them thought about it and discussed in low voices for a long time before Lu Xun raised his head and said, "It's possible, but the details may need to be revised, but success is not necessarily guaranteed."

Yang Feng said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Zhang Yan enters Black Mountain, the rest will be left to me."

"If I die, you don't have to worry about it, just retreat."

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "What you said, as long as we plan well, we can make it back with all our money."

He asked Jushu and Lu Xun to discuss the specific battle plan, then turned to Yang Feng and said, "After Commander Yang has taken revenge, do you have any other ideas?"

"Such as joining forces with me?"

After hearing this, Yang Feng said calmly: "Just joining forces instead of becoming your subordinate?"

Yuan Xi said seriously: "I said before that although I don't agree with Taiping Dao's approach, I still admire its original intention."

"It is actually much more difficult to find a way for everyone in the world to have food. I hope that there will be more like-minded people on this road."

Yang Feng's eyes flashed, "I can't see your intention."

"I still don't know what the purpose of what you said is, is it just to seize the world, and you are deceiving and using me."

"After all, you come from the Yuan family, and you regard ordinary people as ants. Why do you want to speak for them?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said softly: "The Yuan family was not a wealthy family at first."

"Really speaking, thousands of years ago, you and I were of the same origin. Maybe your ancestors were higher than the Yuan family."

"It's just that in the past hundred years, many formerly ordinary families have continued to accumulate land and gradually became powerful families." "I have always felt that this kind of land annexation is harmful to the world."

"And this trend is almost irreversible. Unless the shackles are completely broken, sooner or later more aristocratic families will be created."

Yang Feng listened thoughtfully, and Yuan Xi continued: "The reason why this trend is scary is that those who break the shackles will eventually create a bigger pair of shackles to put on others."

“Then history repeats itself and never stops.”

"Even if Zhang Jiao leads Taiping Dao to overthrow the Han court, can you guarantee that he can completely end this cycle?"

Yang Feng raised her eyebrows, "If he can't, you can?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, "No, I alone cannot find the answer to this question that has troubled me for thousands of years."

He stretched out his hand, "So I need more people like you, let's look for it together."

"And I vaguely seem to have some clues."

Yang Feng blurted out, "What is it?"

Yuan Xi smiled slyly, "Secret."

"Are you willing to join forces with me?"

"I can give you a relatively independent status. If one day you feel that I have betrayed my oath, you can kill me based on your ability to sneak into the city."

Yang Feng's expression remained unchanged, she stood up and walked out: "Let me think about it."

She walked out of the tent and looked at the sky outside. She had to admit that what Yuan Xi said was very tempting.

But only she understood that her physical condition did not give her a few more years to live.

After he dies, who can restrict Yuan Xi?

Although what he said now may be sincere, who knows whether his ambition will expand after his death without anyone to restrain him?
He had already been betrayed once by Zhang Yan, could Yuan Xi be the second one?

Can I trust him?
Yang Feng went out for a long time before Lu Lingqi came in. Yuan Xi saw the look on her face and didn't know how to comfort Lu Lingqi, so he could only say in a solemn voice: "My condolences."

"I'll send you some people, and you can support the coffin and go north tomorrow."

Lu Lingqi shook her head, "Husband, don't worry about me. I am a girl of the Lu family, but I am also a daughter of the Yuan family and a general of the Youzhou Army. I can understand the importance of things."

"My father died in battle, and Zhang Yan was also one of the culprits. I want to stay and avenge my father with my own hands."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I understand. We will take action after Gongyu and Boyan have made a plan."

Everyone did not wait long, and within a few hours, the Youzhou army poured out of the Black Mountain Pass in large numbers.

This was exactly what Cao Cao set out for in the early morning with the Emperor's motorcade. An hour after leaving the city, the Youzhou Army went south to pursue Cao Cao's motorcade. It had already been detected by the spies in Huaicheng, and they quickly reported back to the city.

After Zhong Yao, who had been prepared for the news, laughed and said, "It's just as expected by Duke Cao!"

"Now that Duke Cao's troops have turned back after being defeated, and the three parties are encircling him, it's hard to see how this ferocious tiger can fly!"

He immediately sent someone to notify Zhang Yan and Ma Teng and Han Sui outside the city, and each side led troops and horses to outflank the Black Mountain Pass.

Their purpose was to lure the Youzhou Army out and completely annihilate it. Now that the other side took the bait, they only had half an hour left. If the Black Mountain Army reacted and fled back to the pass, their plan would be in vain!

When Zhang Yan led the army out of the city, he was cautious. He told Ma Teng very thiefly that it would be a great achievement to eliminate thousands of Youzhou troops this time. He had just been promoted to General of Wei. Not wanting to take credit, this time Ma Teng and Han Sui's army took the lead.

Before Ma Teng could answer, Ma Chao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, General. You're welcome for being so generous!"

He immediately led thousands of cavalry troops and rushed toward the Black Mountain Pass.

Zhang Yan followed behind, sneering in his heart. Naturally, he would not attack head-on. Instead, he was going to go north through a secret passage and directly enter the Black Mountain to cut off the Youzhou Army's retreat!
Ma Chao didn't care. He had found out the situation of the Youzhou Army. It was much smaller than his own. Now that he was young and vigorous, it was time to strive for merit. If he could take off the head of the fierce tiger, he would definitely become famous all over the world!
In less than half an hour, Ma Chao had already led the Liangzhou soldiers to the front of the Heishan Pass. He saw hundreds of infantrymen in front and behind the simple camp, deploying a large number of deer and rolling logs to block them, ready to stand ready.

Ma Chaozhou knew that the other party was from a trap camp with a world-famous reputation, and he would definitely not be able to get away with it by confronting him head-on, but he came prepared this time!
