Han family achievements

Chapter 349 Breaking into Yuan Camp

The east and west sides of Pinghuguan seem to be two worlds.

Cao Cao led his troops overnight, galloping like lightning, towards Xiangxian County.

The Han Dynasty was determined to challenge Dong, but its reaction was negative. Among the powerful coalition forces to challenge Dong, people's hearts and minds were divided. Now, Cao Cao is the only one who is really determined and powerful to challenge Dong!

But there was one person running ahead of him—Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was the first to leave the customs, leading 10,000 troops, lightly armed and with only three days' rations, and headed towards the southwest of Xiang County at almost the fastest speed.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei stayed behind and were relatively cautious.

Xun You and Zhao Yun were arranging the defense and at the same time patrolling Pinghu Pass.

"Reporting to Xun Pushe, General Zhao Zhonglang has found Zou, the wife and daughter of the traitor general Zhang Ji." A soldier came to them and said, and then a pair of soldiers escorted a mother and daughter in ragged clothes and disheveled hair.

Although the woman was unkempt and disheveled, Xun You could still see at a glance how beautiful the woman was.

Xun You, unlike Zhong Yao, didn't care much about women. He waved his hand and said, "Take it off."

After saying that, waiting for Zou and his daughter to be escorted away, Xun You approached Zhao Yun and whispered: "Zilong, is there any movement from Yuan Shao?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "The spies said that Yuan Shao pushed his troops ten miles away, and then there was no movement."

Xun You pondered slightly and said hesitantly: "Yuan Shao is a very brave man. He led his troops into the Forbidden Palace. There were no humans or animals left along the way. The blade even reached the necks of His Majesty and the Empress, so he still had to guard against it."

Zhao Yun naturally knew about this thrilling past event, glanced around and said: "Xun Pushe, I heard that after your Majesty detained Yuan Shao, he once commented that Yuan Shao was fierce and cowardly, and he was always scheming. Cherishing one's own body and forgetting one's life at the sight of small gains is not a hero. I wonder if you take it seriously?"

"it is true,"

Xun You, as the person involved, knew everything clearly and said: "But you can't be careless, you still need to be careful."

Zhao Yun responded, and just as he was about to speak, he faced Guo Jia, who was walking over leisurely and carrying a wine bottle.

Zhao Yun was quite polite to Cao Cao, the main counselor of the shogunate. He raised his hand and said, "Commander Guo."

Xun You, on the other hand, didn't have a good face. He was also from Yingchuan, but Guo Jia was not close to their "Yingchuan Party". Instead, he followed Cao Cao, whom they hated and wanted to contain!

Guo Jia didn't seem to notice Xun You's expression at all. He smiled and raised his hand in greeting and said, "Guo Fengxiao has seen Xun Pushe and General Zhao Zhonglang."

Zhao Yun vaguely noticed it and said calmly: "Commander Guo, Xun Pushe and I are discussing Yuan Shao to determine whether he will openly rebel."

The direct trigger of the open rebellion was to storm Pinghu Pass, and then pursue Cao Cao into Xiangxian County to fight for the two states of Yu and Xu.

Guo Jia smelled strongly of alcohol and said with a smile: "I don't think he dares."

Xun You folded his hands and said in a neutral tone: "What makes you think that? If Pinghu Pass is attacked by force, can you afford the consequences?"

Guo Jia had always kept a respectful distance from Xun You and others. He took a sip of wine and said, "Xun Pushe, I wonder if my general can return to the Grand Sima's mansion after conquering Dong?"

Cao Cao was once considered to be the most powerful candidate to succeed Huangfu Song as Grand Sima. Especially after Cao Cao pacified the Heishan Army in Qingzhou and Jizhou, his voice became even louder.

Xun You said with an expressionless face: "It is not your turn as a counselor to comment on the important matters of the country."

Guo Jia didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Xun Pushe, don't you still think that my general will be responsible for the loss of more than half of the coalition forces?"

Xun You's eyes were cold. This Guo Jia was indeed a great talent, but an unruly person.

'Rebellious' and 'talented' have always been in conflict, both of which rarely end well.

Xun You chose to ignore Guo Jia's question and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, is there any news from Qingzhou and Yanzhou?"

Zhao Yun was a little surprised that Xun You asked this in front of Guo Jia, and immediately said: "General Huang Zhonglang and Sima Shijun have already sent out troops, and the specific battle situation has not been revealed yet."

Xun You nodded slightly and said, "Then Liu Biao has agreed to send troops. It is only a matter of time before Dong is destroyed."

Guo Jia knew that Xun You told him on purpose, but he turned a deaf ear to it. He took a leisurely sip of wine and said, "Xun Pushe, does the imperial court have a candidate for this Yuzhou shepherd?"

Xun You still ignored him and said: "According to my understanding of Yuan Shao, he will send people in today to test, and he will take action tomorrow. The real test will not be until the third day. With three days, even if we get out of the way, Yuan Shao Even if we can’t catch up, big things will happen.”

Guo Jia listened to Xun You's words and touched the drink on his chin pretending to be thoughtful.

Xun You's words were basically the strategy he and Cao Cao agreed upon.

But Xun You said it openly, basically telling Guo Jia that the position of Yuzhou Mu was not for Cao Cao.

Given the context, Cao Cao could not return to Da Sima's Mansion.

'General, it's a bit difficult...'

Guo Jia looked at the blood on his palms and sighed.

"Qi Pu She, Yuan Shao sent someone to ask for an audience." A military prince strode over, holding his sword and saying.

Xun You snorted coldly and said: "Send away these sinister tigers and wolves. Let Yuan Shao come in person."

"Yes." Junhou responded and strode away.

Before walking a few steps, suddenly, a soldier came in a hurry and said urgently: "Xun Pushe, General Zhao Zhonglang, it's bad, His Highness the Second Highness is out of confinement!"

Xun You and Zhao Yun's expressions changed suddenly, and without saying a word, they turned around and chased after him.

Xun You walked a few steps, and then he shouted in a panic to the imperial guards beside him: "Didn't you ask me to look at His Highness? What's going on? How did His Highness get out of the city?"

Zhao Yun also had a weird look on his face. Although His Highness had a noble status, he was still a child of four or five years old. Without them personally leading him, how could he arrive at the door silently and open the door and go out! ?

The soldier muttered and couldn't understand for a long time.

Xun You was so angry that he didn't care about him. He got out of the pass, mounted his horse, and chased Liu Yu with Zhao Yun.

When they saw Liu Yu's back, they were in front of Yuan Shao's camp.

They watched helplessly as Liu Yu led four imperial guards and entered Yuan Shao's camp, greeted by Xu You personally.

Xun You's face was as sinking as water, and the veins on his head were beating continuously.

Xun You always lived in a deep city and had a deep mind. There were few things that could scare him.

But when Liu Yu entered Yuan Shao's camp, Xun You was cold all over, and his neck felt like needles pricking him.

Zhao Yun held the silver spear in his hand, his eyes blazing, and said to Xun You: "Xun Pushe, I will order a thousand people to snatch His Highness back!"

When Xun You heard Zhao Yun's words, he calmed down instantly. He stared in the direction of Yuan Shao's camp and said calmly: "No need. Yuan Shao has to send His Highness back the same way he went. Let's return to Pinghu Pass as if nothing happened. Right. By the way, send the rabbit to His Highness later."

Seeing that he was about to turn around, Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "Xun Pushe, His Majesty the Second Highness is His Majesty's favorite prince. If anything happens to them, we will die without redemption!"

Xun You had thought it through and said more calmly: "Don't worry, just come back with me."

Zhao Yun looked at his profile, then looked back at Yuan Shao's camp. He seemed to have some understanding and followed Xun You back to Pinghu Pass.

But the seemingly peaceful Yuan Shao camp fell into chaos.

When Yuan Shao learned that Liu Yu had brought two imperial guards to his camp, he was shocked at first, and then became confused. "Where is he?" Yuan Shao looked towards Gao Gandao.

Gao Gan said: "He is wandering around. Xu Ziyuan wants to bring him here, but he doesn't listen at all. Xu Ziyuan doesn't dare to force him, so he can only inform his uncle."

Yuan Shao sat in his seat, frowning, his expression constantly changing.

Liu Yu only came with the imperial guards, but not Xun You or Zhao Zilong. What's the conspiracy here?

And this Liu Yu, although he is young, is still the current second prince. Who dares to look down upon him at such a young age?

No matter what, Yuan Shao can meet this Liu Yu!

He took a deep breath, said calmly, "Let's go meet him!"

Yuan Shao left the tent without taking anyone else with him except senior officials, deliberately alienating his soldiers and other bodyguards.

After walking for a while, Jushou came in a hurry and said: "General, we are going in the wrong direction, over there."

Yuan Shao looked over, his eyes changed slightly, and said: "Tian Feng?"

Jushou wiped his sweat and said solemnly: "General, these two highnesses are raiding the camp. Next, they are looking for Tian Feng. The attackers are not good. General, you must deal with them carefully."

Before he could fall out with the court, Yuan Shao still had to think carefully about his face.

Yuan Shao paused for a moment, then strode over.

When Yuan Shao arrived, he saw a four or five-year-old boy in rich clothes squatting in front of the prison car, looking at Tian Feng inside, and said seriously with a small face: "Are you a good person?"

Tian Feng looked at the innocent little guy in front of him, not knowing he knew him. Seeing that the people around him were awe-inspiring and alienated, and unable to guess his identity, he smiled and said: "Tian, ​​when I was young, I aspired to be a saint, and when I was middle-aged, I aspired to be a good person. Now, all I want is One death.”

Liu Yu seemed to understand, his eyes sparkled, and he said: "Good people cannot go to jail, come out quickly."

After saying that, he turned back to Xu You and said, "Let him out quickly."

It was purely a coincidence that Xu You was able to pick up Liu Yu. There was nothing he could do about the second prince who was wandering around and completely uncontrolled. Seeing that Liu Yu was about to release Tian Feng, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, Tian Feng is guilty of this." The queen general, the humble minister cannot be the master."

Liu Yu's face was stern, he stood up, imitated his father and put his hands behind his back, and said, "Isn't your highness older than him?"

Xu You was stunned by this question and remained speechless.

Only then did Tian Feng notice Liu Yu's title. He quickly arranged his clothes and raised his hand, "I dare to ask if it's His Highness in the palace..."

"His Highness said he should be released, why don't you release him quickly!"

Before Tian Feng finished speaking, Yuan Shao's voice came one after another, followed by dense footsteps.

With Yuan Shao's words, the prison car was opened, and Tian Feng walked out of it. It was still unclear who Liu Yu was.

Yuan Shaolong walked with tiger stride, followed by a group of counselors and generals. He raised his hands to Liu Yu and saluted: "I will wait for you to see Your Highness."

Liu Yu was used to seeing big scenes and showed no fear at all. After they finished the ceremony, he walked straight towards Yuan Shao.

The four guards he brought forward all stepped forward, holding the hilts of their knives.

The people behind Yuan Shao became nervous, and the soldiers around him suddenly drew their swords.

Yuan Shao stopped him with stern eyes, and then waited respectfully for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, came to Yuan Shao, looked up at him and said, "Are you Yuan Shao?"

Yuan Shao said without changing his expression: "Yes."

Liu Yu blinked and said, "Then are you a good person?"

Yuan Shao remained calm, thought for a moment, and said: "I am worthy of heaven and earth."

Liu Yu frowned. He couldn't understand this person's words, so he was better off with the person just now.

Thinking of this, he turned his head, came to Tian Feng's side, took a look, and said: "Father often said that reading can solve doubts, but there are also confusions, so someone must be the first to solve the doubts. Are you willing to answer my doubts? ?”

Tian Feng hasn't figured out the situation yet, so he can only try to remain calm and say: "Wei Chen is willing."

Liu Yu suddenly became happy, took his hand and walked forward, saying loudly: "In the palace, Cao Pi is a fool, Sima Yi is a boring gourd, and He Yan is dull and not fun at all. Come and play with me..."

With that said, Liu Yu led Tian Feng to a few horses - these were the horses he came with.

Tian Feng was a little confused, and as Liu Yu stood in front of the horse, he was unusually at a loss.

Liu Yu raised his little face and said: "Get on the horse and take me back. I want to ask Xun Pushe for advice. You can help me then."

Tian Feng immediately seemed to regret it and turned to Yuan Shao out of the corner of his eye.

The four imperial guards brought by Liu Yu quietly moved forward, guarding Liu Yu and Tian Feng behind them.

Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly darkened when he saw that Liu Yu was so blatant and wanted to take Tian Feng away simply and directly.

But the senior official next to him quietly stopped him and whispered: "General, it may not be a bad thing."

Jushou also came over and said: "General, we must be patient in this matter. We must not let the court find out about it. These two highnesses must not move!"

Xu You, Gao Gan, Zhang He and others all cast eager glances, hinting that Yuan Shao should not be impulsive.

After a while, Yuan Shaocai said with a stiff smile, "Weichen personally sends His Highness off."

Liu Yu seemed unaware and urged Tian Feng: "Don't you know how to ride a horse?"

Tian Feng had already gained insight into a lot of things. He looked at Liu Yu quietly, then got on his horse. When he turned around, he saw Liu Yu stretching out his arms - the meaning was obvious, hug me.

Tian Feng had no choice but to bend down, pick Liu Yu up on the horse, and put him in front of him.

So, under the watchful eyes of Yuan Shao and his counselors and generals, Liu Yu took Tian Feng out of Yuan Shao's camp and went straight to Pinghu Pass.

Yuan Shao put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists tightly, making a rattling sound.

But no one heard him, but his anger was felt in his silence.

Director Zhang sneered and said: "General, this is probably the trick that Xun Pushe came up with. He actually used the second prince to take risks. He is really a loyal minister and filial son of the imperial court!"

Jushou thought more and said: "General, it's not a bad thing. We might as well send someone to the pass tonight to discuss how to pass through the pass and pursue Dong Zhuo."

Xu You laughed continuously in his heart.

This Jushou is indeed a smart man, but smartness is not the point. Why didn't you say it just now? Now that Tian Feng has been taken away, what can you do to negotiate with Xun You?

In the different eyes of Yuan Shao and others, Liu Yu's back gradually disappeared.

And among the stunned expressions of everyone at Pinghu Pass, Liu Yu took Tian Feng and Shi Shiran into Pinghu Pass. I don’t know how many people’s jaws dropped in shock.

However, there were four guards when they left, but only three came back.
