When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 253 The General is Coming

"Your Highness?"

"I, Wu Ban, was entrusted by Minister Xu to come and meet Your Highness."

Facing the fierce and aggressive Liu Xie, Wu Ban controlled his tone and tried to sound as gentle as possible.

However, Liu Xie still had a look of doubt on his face, and even though the palace servants kept persuading him, he still looked half-believing and half-doubting.

Wu Ban couldn't help but think that the defense was too heavy, and he couldn't help but recall Xu Jing's instructions before leaving.

"Ban, according to Chen Yuanlong, at Chou time, before hearing the cockcrow, you must leave Beimang Mountain. Otherwise, it will be difficult to leave even if you want to, unless you are Zhao Zilong."

Thinking of this, Wu Ban knew that he could not waste time. Fortunately, he had prepared beforehand and immediately took out a book from his arms, a book he had taken from Xu Jing's residence. Its title was
"Liangzhou Popular Romance"

Liu Xie showed a delighted look on his face. He took it and looked at it. He saw the three crooked characters "Zhang Yide" on the cover and was immediately overjoyed.
"It's written by Uncle San himself!"

"The person who has this book is definitely not a bad person!"

"I believe you, General Wu!"

The speed at which his expression changed made Wu Ban laugh and cry. He thought to himself, Your Highness, if a random passerby took out this book, wouldn't he be able to fool you?

"General Wu"

The childish voice sounded in his ears again, and Wu Ban's attention was drawn back to the present. He saw the joy on Liu Xie's face gradually fade away, and was replaced by a deep sense of uneasiness. The young prince turned his head and looked in the direction of Nangong.

"General Wu, will something happen to my mother?"

"Will something happen to my brother?"

Wu Ban was slightly startled. In his eyes, Prince Xie, who lost his mother at a young age and his father at a young age, probably didn't have so many twists and turns.

He said in a comforting voice: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Your Highness, please."

"Ah."

Liu Xie bit his lip, withdrew his reluctant gaze, and with the help of Wu Ban, rode on the horse.

Wu Ban, holding the reins tightly, took a deep breath and took a last look at Luoyang in the distance. He had promised Xu Jing that Xu Jing would help him rescue He Jin. He had left Luoyang and could not return without the order of his lord.

"Goodbye, Luoyang"

Wu Ban murmured, and the murmur rolled into the noisy wind.

Liu Xie, who was sitting in front of him, seemed to have noticed something and asked

"General Wu, will we come back?"

Wu Ban replied firmly

"I will come back, I will definitely come back."

After saying this, Wu Ban no longer showed any lingering look. He raised the whip high and whipped the horse hard on its butt. The horse neighed in pain and went away into the distance.

"It's time to follow the master's orders."

The remaining assassins looked at each other and threw the criminal's corpse that they had prepared for a long time to the ground. The corpse was covered with the uniform of the Northern Army and its face was burned by the flames, so the features could not be seen clearly.

After this was done, the assassins set up another trap
Waiting for a eunuch to take the bait.

A cock crowed, and the faint light squeezed out of the leaden clouds.

As soon as the eunuchs fled to Beimang Mountain, Yuan Shao and others led their troops to the scene. With a grim smile, they pierced the eunuchs' abdomens with sharp blades.

"How is General Yuan?"

Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, walked behind Yuan Shao and whispered

"Were all the Ten Eunuchs executed?"

"What were the results of the battle, Captain Feng?"

"I just saw Zhang Rang fall into the river and die!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, everyone present showed joy on their faces, their mouth corners lifted up, and they laughed loudly. They just felt happy, and they won the long-lasting war. After laughing, everyone checked the results of the battle, and the names of eunuchs were reported one after another. Before, just hearing their names made everyone hate them, but now it sounded so wonderful that even the most serious scholars smiled.

However, Yuan Shao frowned and realized something was wrong.

"Why is there no trace of Bi Lan?"

Feng Fang comforted him, "General Yuan, he is just a eunuch. Eunuchs are doomed. Why worry about him?"

After saying this, he looked at the ministers again.
"You guys say yes or no!"

"exactly"

The good mood of successfully overthrowing the eunuch prompted everyone to make jokes, and the atmosphere became cheerful in the blink of an eye. Even Yuan Shao was not spared. He immediately forgot about Bi Lan. The eunuch was doomed, and even if he defeated Bi Lan alone, what would it matter.

Unfortunately, the good mood of the victory was dampened by a heavy blow the next moment.

A guard ran up to Yuan Shao, panting heavily, and clasped his fists.

"General! Something terrible has happened. We have not found any trace of Prince Chenliu!"

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

Misfortune never comes singly
Before they could react, bad news came one after another.
"The general is leading his troops here. Judging from their momentum, I'm afraid they are here with ill intentions. I hope you can make a decision soon!"

The first person to react was He Yong. He said in surprise, "General, wasn't the general killed in a surprise attack by the eunuchs?"

"Noisy!"

Yuan Shu curled his lips in disdain. Unlike Yuan Shao's respect for He Yong, he had long disliked He Yong and thought that this man was particularly disgusting. Who was he?
The Yuan family has three officials in four generations!
Even among the aristocratic families, they are a noble and prestigious family!

And he is Yuan Feng’s second son!
I have done some chivalrous things in my early years!
Among all the scholars in the world, who would not say something with heroic spirit upon seeing this?

Why didn't this person, who came to Luoyang to serve as an official, come to my residence to pay me a visit?
How could this be true? !
Not only was this a lack of respect for him, it was also a slap in Yuan's face!

If Yuan Benchu hadn't protected this person, he would have retaliated long ago according to his temper!

Unfortunately, there is no hypothesis, so Yuan Shu can only use words to squeeze He Yong

"How can a small fish at the bottom of a pond know how high the sky is, or how wide the sea is? My Yuan family has had three officials in four generations, and our students and former officials are all over the world! Even Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, who came from the Yulin Army, were former officials of my uncle! What are you afraid of? He will not be able to make it!"

"shut up!"

Yuan Shao stood in front of He Yong and scolded Yuan Shu.

In the Han Dynasty, once one accepted the invitation of a high-ranking official in the court and became his subordinate, no matter what achievements one made in the future, his political career would be firmly tied to that high-ranking official.

If one betrays the high-ranking official who recruited him, then his future career will be ruined and he will be declared dead politically.

Therefore, whether in the eyes of Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing would be a great help to them.

You must know that when the late emperor was alive, he disliked He Jin and specially set up the Eight Colonels of Xiyuan, selecting young and strong young men from good families from the northern army and civilians in order to divide He Jin's military power.

They are considered the most elite troops in Luoyang.

Seven-eighths of this elite force was in the hands of Yuan Shao and others.

In addition, the battle-hardened soldiers that Dong Zhuo brought from Bingzhou might make He Jin hesitate to act rashly.

Everyone present knew these principles. It was Yuan Shao who had induced He Jin to secretly summon Dong Zhuo, but it was another matter to do so openly.

Even though Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, he realized the inappropriateness of his words, so he swallowed his anger and said nothing more.

Xun You, who was mixed in the crowd, thought to himself that something was not good. He always felt that the two brothers of the Yuan family would not be able to achieve anything significant.

No, we should find an opportunity to leave Luoyang.

Everyone present had their own thoughts, but at this moment.

The general is here.

　Thanks to the benefactor Lu Zhiyuanqing for the reward
