Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 860 Intolerable

Hong supported Mrs. Liu and stumbled away with the flow of people in the dark night. The guards beside her had already been dispersed by the crowd and no one knew where they were.

After all, Cao Jun was forced to open a gap under the desperate attack of Zhang He and others. As the soldiers shouted orders, the people following behind shouted and rushed out towards the opened gap.

Some of Cao's troops wanted to come up to stop them, but were immediately entangled by the Jizhou soldiers. They found that they could not capture the common people without getting rid of the Jizhou soldiers first. After several attempts, they had no choice but to give up, and the two sides started fighting again.

Hong took hold of Liu and followed the crowd to escape. However, they were used to rich clothes and fine food, so they had never run like this before. Hong was okay, but Liu was out of breath after running a few steps and said she was running away. Not moving anymore.

Hong had no choice but to half pull and half carry Liu forward. As they ran further and further away, the crowd gradually dispersed. Some went into the woods, some fled into the mountains, and some simply fell to the ground motionless.

The shouts of killing gradually approached, and then several feather arrows flew and shot into the bodies of the people who were fleeing not far away. At the same time, they were accompanied by the threatening sounds of Cao Jun who was chasing after them, which made Hong and Liu look pale.

When Mrs. Hong saw the dense forest beside the road, she gritted her teeth, pulled Mrs. Liu and got in, only to find that Mrs. Liu had collapsed on the ground. In desperation, she had no choice but to carry Mrs. Liu on her back, climbed into the woods with difficulty, and walked all the way to Drill inside.

The low bushes scratched her body and face with blood stains, but she didn't care. She could only lie on the ground and move forward like a dog. She didn't know how long it took, the surrounding voices gradually became quiet, but Hong's Not daring to stop, he gritted his teeth and crawled into the woods until a glimmer of morning light appeared on the horizon, and the sky gradually became brighter.

At this time, Hong was so exhausted that she couldn't help but close her eyes and fell asleep.

She felt that she had only slept for a while when she felt pain on her face. When she woke up, she saw Mrs. Liu sitting on her, grabbing her collar and slapping herself.

"If you don't want to live, you can stay here. It doesn't matter if I die, but who will fulfill my husband's wish?"

"You can't even give birth to a child, so what use do you have!"

Hong's suppressed anger finally broke out, and she couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency should know about your husband's situation. How can you blame me for not giving birth?"

When Mrs. Liu saw this, she cursed and said, "Useless things, all the time I feed you are in vain!"

Mrs. Liu was startled and stopped making trouble, but she still muttered and her eyes gleamed with resentment.

"And didn't the chief inquisitor say before that he would come to take out the husband's body?"

Then the voice sneered: "No need to hide it, you can see the footprints on the ground, it's a woman, right?"

"My husband's last wish is for me to find an heir of the Yuan family to adopt. This is also the reason why I want to live. Otherwise, why would I accompany you here?"

Hong subconsciously blocked Liu's palm with her arm and said, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Liu said bitterly: "It's all you who killed Shang'er, and now you've even left his body behind. Are you still a human being?"

Then a shout came, "Who is it, come out quickly!"

However, what they were afraid of was that these soldiers gradually approached, but they walked straight to the place where the two men were hiding!

Hong's breathing stopped. Was he deceiving himself or was he really discovered?

Ms. Liu didn't want to reason, and started to cry loudly, "My wretched child, your bones are not even cold, yet you, a heartless wife, dare to talk back to me!"

Hong was so angry that she couldn't speak, so she had no choice but to pull Liu and continue walking forward. As a result, after walking for another half an hour, she found that there was a cliff more than ten feet high blocking the way.

Hong suddenly felt very tired and wanted to run away, but she couldn't bear it, so she had to persuade her: "Sir, the enemy troops are coming here at any time. Let's leave first."

She stood up and found that she couldn't see back and forth, so she had to take a detour. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu blamed Hong for taking the wrong way. She kept yelling and scolding her, but she heard a sound coming from far away in the woods, which frightened her. Stop right now.

Hong was speechless. She held onto Liu's wrist and argued, "How can you blame me for this? If I want to beat someone up, how can I carry the body on my back?"

The two men lay uneasily in the grass, but they heard the sound gradually approaching. The two listened carefully and gradually became afraid. This was the voice of Cao Jun's soldiers!

There were at least five or six people listening to the conversation. I don't know how they caught up. The two of them looked pale and had to bend down on the ground desperately.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu cursed angrily: "Okay, I dare to talk back. Since it is an adoption, what does it matter if I have you or not?"

Hong didn't care anymore. She wanted to help Liu up, but found that her feet were sprained on the other side. She had to try her best to carry Liu on her back and continue to find the direction. But she was tired and hungry, and there were no roads in the woods, so she could only walk After a quarter of an hour, he was unable to move.

His companions laughed together.

Hong looked at the footprints behind her with a bitter look on her face. It was really like this. She was walking with Liu on her back, and the footprints were deep in the soil. Someone had indeed seen her!

Mrs. Liu also understood, and she was so angry that she cursed secretly. She stared at the two lines of footprints on the ground, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she lowered her voice and said to Ms. Hong: "Get out of here and don't talk about me!"

Hong was startled when she saw the footprints on the ground, and then she understood. She was pale and had shivered a few times recently. She was about to take a step, but thinking of the ferocity of Cao Jun, she couldn't move.

When Mrs. Liu heard the sound getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but become anxious, and cursed in a low voice: "Bitch, get out quickly, you can save your life as long as you flatter me, and we will both be saved by then!"

Hong finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded, "Sir, you want to live so much, why don't you go out?"

After hearing this, Ms. Liu stretched out her finger angrily, "You, you unfilial thing, did you want to remarry after seeing Shang'er die?" "You are still the wife of the Yuan family. As long as I don't say anything, you will be with me for the rest of your life." I can’t leave the Yuan family!”

Hong sneered: "Really? You can still care about my life or death?"

"I'm leaving first, sir, please take good care of me!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought that Mrs. Hong was about to run away, and just as she was about to yell and scold, she saw Mrs. Hong leap forward and actually jump off the hillside!

Liu Shi'a let out a sound, and watched blankly as Hong Shi rolled down more than ten feet and fell into the dense forest at the bottom of the cliff, where she lost her voice.

It would be unlucky for someone to fall from this height. Liu didn't expect that Hong was going to commit suicide, so she couldn't help but be stunned.

The people behind heard the sound and had already rushed over. It turned out to be five or six soldiers in Cao army uniforms. When the leader saw Liu, he smiled and said, "She is indeed a woman."

"Although he is a little older, he looks really good. Blessed are the brothers!"

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Ms. Liu's arm. Ms. Liu was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. Seeing the soldiers coming up to tear her clothes apart, she shouted in fear, "Don't touch me, I am Yuan Benchu's wife!"

"If you offer me up, you will definitely achieve great success!"

After hearing this, the few people looked at each other in confusion. The leader stopped his hand and said, "How do you prove it?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head and took out Yuan's seal from her arms and explained a few sentences. The leader's eyes lit up and he said to everyone: "This time we were dispersed by the Jizhou army. We don't know how to explain it when we go back. But With good luck, my brothers have become prosperous!"

After saying that, he put Liu on his shoulders and said, "Let's go and receive the reward!"

Mrs. Liu was being carried away by everyone. She suppressed the fear in her heart and wanted to say that there was another one under the cliff, but the soldiers strode forward, jolting her almost to the point of vomiting, and she was unable to speak in the end.

The group of people finally left. I don’t know how long it took before it began to rain.

Ms. Hong reluctantly opened her eyes and watched the raindrops from the sky hitting her face. She wanted to get up, but she felt severe pain all over her body. She reluctantly raised her hand, only to find that one of her hands had been broken.

She sat up and looked at the cliff above her head, thinking to herself, God wouldn't let her die.

Since you can't die, then find a way to live.

She found a few branches, tore open the sleeves of her clothes, managed to straighten her broken arm, and then tied it up.

Although the pain was so severe that she almost fainted several times, she relied on her to take care of Yuan Shang's injuries. In the end, she tied up her arms, found a wooden stick to support her body, and trudged forward in the rain.

When Zhang Liao led his troops to the vicinity of Yecheng, it was already two days later. The Jizhou soldiers led by Zhang He and others were still fighting with Cao Jun.

However, as Cao Jun mobilized all the troops along the way to encircle them, the Jizhou soldiers fought less and less. Zhang He, Chun, Qiong, and Gaolan were all seriously injured. Seeing that their actions were in danger, Zhang Liao finally led his troops to break in. battlefield.

He secretly broke out and stabbed Xiahou Dun, who was supervising the formation, with one shot. Xiahou Dun was shot in the back and almost fell off his horse.

Zhang He and others came up to thank him. Zhang Liao was surprised when he heard the news of Yuan Shang's death. He sighed: "My lord asked me to come day and night, but I still came late. I am really ashamed."

At this time Tian Feng arrived and said: "It's not the fault of Mr. Xianyi, we had no choice but to break out of the encirclement."

Zhang Liao conveyed Yuan Xi's intention and said: "Now that my lord is stationed in Anping, please let He escort you there."

He saw a dozen officials behind Tian Feng and was a little confused, "Where are the others?"

Tian Feng sighed: "Zhengnan and the others were missing during Cao Jun's raid last night. They are probably captured by Cao Jun."

Zhang Liao was startled, and then he felt a toothache. He didn't know that Xu You had already left the city to go to Cao's camp. However, Xun Pei, Xun Chen, and Xinpi were all in Cao Cao's hands, and it was hard for him to explain.

It was even worse for the generals. Except for Zhang He who could still sit on his horse, Chunyu Qiong and Gao Lan were injured and couldn't stand up, lying directly on the ground. The casualties in Jizhou during this breakout were too heavy!

He said aloud: "Why are you in such a hurry to break out?"

Zhang He told about the epidemic in the city. Zhang Liao cried out in pain after hearing this. This matter is troublesome. The epidemic may have spread among the people and may have been transmitted to his own soldiers!

He immediately said to Tian Feng and Zhang He: "Please follow me and set off immediately, and at the same time be prepared to prevent and control the epidemic."

Tian Feng and others were still confused, but the doctors from Zhang Liao's army had already come up and told everyone about the dangers of the epidemic. Only then did everyone understand, and they all found clothes to tear off and cover their mouths and noses.

Zhang Liao arranged for soldiers to escort the Jizhou soldiers towards Anping. However, he saw Yang Feng following the crowd, so he rode over and said, "Commander Yang, the envoy asked you to go to Anping."
