Chapter 507 Chang'an ([-])

Zhongqiu, in a few days, it will be fifteen!
Of course, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as the Mid-Autumn Festival.However, people already have the habit of admiring the moon on this day.

According to legend, in the spring and Autumn period, there was Wuyan, an ugly girl from Qi State, who worshiped the moon devoutly when she was young.After growing up, he entered Qi Palace with outstanding moral character, but was not favored.On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of a certain year, King Qi saw Wuyan under the moonlight, and felt that she was wearing a bright moonlight, holy and beautiful, so he made Wuyan his queen.Since then, there has been the custom of worshiping the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival.Women worship the moon, while men admire the moon.

Cangting is a ferry, on the bank of the big river.

Yuan Shao sat in the big tent with dull eyes, as if he was stupid.The successive defeats made Yuan Shao lose his courage.

The death of the youngest son made Yuan Shao extremely sad.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, Yuan Shao would watch the moon at home, and at the same time admire the beautiful female prostitutes in the mansion, performing moving songs and dances.But this year, I'm afraid it's no longer possible.

Blame Cao Cao for being cunning, blame Liu Bei for being untrustworthy...

Of course, there is also Dong Bi's viciousness and Bu Qu's infidelity.Yuan Shao blamed it in his heart, but he didn't think that the person who caused all this was actually himself.In fact, from an early age, Yuan Shao learned to pass the responsibility on to others instead of taking it himself.

Even at this step, Yuan Shao is still the same.

It doesn't matter, as long as I'm still alive, I can definitely flip it over.Yuan Shao muttered in his heart: Presumably Zhu Ling's trial partner has already got the news, and within a few days, he will definitely try to take me across the river.I can leave Yecheng temporarily, go back to Jizhou, and strictly guard the pass. After a few years of hard work, I will be able to recover.At that time, I will definitely not bypass Dong Bi and that Simpi.

Thinking of Simpi, Yuan Shao thought of Yuan Shang.

Poor boy, he just came out of Chang'an, and he died tragically in the city of Puyang before he could recover... Xinpi, you really are not a son of man!

Yuan Shao was alone in the army tent, gnashing his teeth and cursing everyone.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the military tent.

The family general Yuan An and Yuan Ping walked into the army tent and said excitedly: "Master, there is a boat coming from the other side of the river, there is a boat coming from the other side of the river!"

"what!"

Yuan Shao regained his energy immediately, got up quickly, took three steps in parallel, and rushed out of the big tent.At this moment, he no longer has the previous decadent air, and he doesn't even look like a person over fifty years old.Accompanied by Yuan An and Yuan Ping, Yuan Shao came to the ferry with his own soldiers.

The big river is rushing, turbulent and turbulent.

Dozens of large ships appeared in Yuan Shao's line of sight, and the green flying dragon flag on the prow indicated that the opponent was a general of the Yuan family.

Zhu Ling is still loyal!
Yuan Shao's eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Yuan An, order the soldiers to shout and lead the ships over!"

Yuan An obeyed and ordered to go down.After a while, Yuan Jun's soldiers on the river beach shouted loudly: "The lord is here, the general is here, come to the shore quickly... The lord is here, the general is here, the general is here to go to the shore quickly."

The people on the ferry seemed to hear the shout, and immediately accelerated their speed.

Getting closer, getting closer...

Suddenly, there was only a strange sound of horns echoing on the river.Woo-woo-woo-woo... The short and changing sound of the horn startled Yuan Shao.Before he could react, the green flying dragon flag on the bow of the boat was cut off and fell into the river.

On the bow, a general stood with his sword in hand.

A large banner embroidered with a black unicorn pattern replaced the green flying dragon flag.The flag is fluttering in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

The words of [Dong], the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the governor of the three armies, were written.Yuan Shao couldn't help being startled, he couldn't react.Because the general who stood holding his sword was none other than Zhu Ling, his general.But why did he change the flag?Could it be that Zhu Ling is also against it?
"Wenbo, you..." Yuan Shao was startled and furious.

At this time, the warship was only about two hundred steps away from the river bank, Zhu Ling said loudly: "Yuan Shao, now that King Liang's army is pressing down on the border, the imperial line of the Han family has already been established. I'm just following the sky, and I have already surrendered to King Liang for thousands of years... ...General Yuan, if you understand the current situation, surrender quickly."

"Ah... the thief who betrayed the master, I am also angry!"

Yuan Shao only felt a sweetness in his throat, and the golden star was shaking in front of his eyes.A mouthful of blood was about to come out, he yelled, and fell on his back.

Fortunately, Yuan An had a quick eye, and he supported Yuan Shao.

Yuan Ping shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrows, let the arrows go, stop the river boats from docking!"

Just now, he desperately wanted the river boat to dock, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into preventing the river boat from docking.Yuan Jun's soldiers were baffled, but still obeyed the order, drew their bows and set up arrows, and shot towards the river boat.However, due to the flustered mood, most of the arrows fell into the river.

Zhu Ling smiled coldly and waved the command flag.

The river boat slammed across the river, and on the side of the boat, a number of Xiping ballista appeared, and the ballista was opened, aiming at Yuan Jun on the river bank.

"Fire arrows!"

Following Zhu Ling's order, only the sound of bang bang continued.

A giant arrow as thick as an arm flew out of the ship with a piercing howling sound.Yuan Jun's soldiers standing at the front felt as if they were being slapped, and a huge arrow shot out of their chests, and they flew backwards with a whistling sound.When he fell to the ground, he was already dead.

This thing was shot, but it was more terrifying than ordinary arrows.

One arrow is a bloody hole the size of a fist.Even if it misses the point, if it hits an arm or leg, it can split the arm and leg into two in an instant.Dozens of warships lined up, but hundreds of giant arrows flew out.But the shock to Yuan Jun was incalculable.

Yuan Jun resisted for a while, then dispersed.

Zhu Lingchun led thousands of soldiers and horses, and after they landed in Cangting, they chased and killed them on the spot.Only killing Yuan Jun's blood flowed into rivers, and he ran away with his head in his arms.

"Forgive me, General, I will surrender, I will surrender!"

Yuan Bing and Yuan General all knelt down and begged for mercy.After inspecting it once, Director Chunyu asked suspiciously: "General Wenbo, have you ever seen Yuan Shao?"

Zhu Ling shook his head, "I haven't seen it! I questioned a few people just now, and said that I saw Yuan Shao being taken away by his two generals and fled west."

"You can't let Thief Yuan go!"

Director Chunyu thought for a while, "How about this? General Wenbo led 1000 people to chase after him. Now our soldiers and horses are all along the banks of the river, and they can't escape. I will gather the prisoners here and go to deliver orders to the King of Liang. General Wenbo, if you can Capturing Yuan Shao is definitely the first achievement."

Zhu Ling was originally the guard of Yecheng. He was besieged by Huang Zhong for many days.

Worried about not having the gift of an audience, Director Chunyu brought it here.Zhu Ling cupped his hands gratefully, "Zhu can't hold Yuan Shao, and is willing to sacrifice his head!"

After speaking, he led his soldiers and chased Yuan Shao in the direction where Yuan Shao fled.

******
It was getting late, Yuan An and Yuan Ping fled into the mountains with Yuan Shao on their backs.

Settling down in a shack abandoned by hunters, Yuan Shao was still unconscious, Yuan An and Yuan Ping...but already hungry.

Yuan Ping said: "Brother An, is the Lord finished?"

Yuan An stared, "Yuan Ping, don't talk nonsense. Now we have encountered a little setback, but how can we say that it is over? The thief who betrayed the master made us fall to this point. Wait until we escort the lord back. After leaving Jizhou, within a few years, they will surely make a comeback."

Unlike Yuan Ping, Yuan An is an old courtier of the old Yuan family. His ancestors have followed the Yuan family for three generations, so it can be said that they are loyal.

He lit a bonfire and sat with Yuan Ping.

Yuan Shao lay in the haystack, his complexion was sallow, and he looked very desolate.

"The night wind in this mountain is very cold, we can't go on like this." Yuan Ping grabbed his bow and arrow, got up and said, "I'll go find something to eat."

Yuan An narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yuan Ping.

"Yuan Ping, your kung fu is better than mine, you should stay here and guard the lord. I'll go find something to eat..."

It turned out that Yuan An saw that Yuan Ping's mood was not normal, and was worried that this guy would sneak away, and even go to the enemy to seek glory.

He stretched out his hand and asked Yuan Ping for a bow and arrow.

As for Yuan Ping, he hesitated for a moment, then walked over unwillingly, and handed the bow and arrow to Yuan An.The moment Yuan An took the bow and arrow, Yuan Ping suddenly pulled out a dagger and rushed into Yuan An's arms.Pu Pu's two swords hit Yuan An's chest.

In terms of martial arts, Yuan Anke is no worse than Yuan Ping, and even a little higher.

The reason for saying that is just an excuse.However, Yuan An did not expect that Yuan Ping really had evil intentions.Holding the bow and arrow in one hand, Yuan Ping stabbed him to the ground unexpectedly.Yuan An felt incredible, stared wide-eyed, and stared at Yuan Ping.

"Brother An, don't blame me... People are going to high places, Yuan Shao is finished! Whether you admit it or not, this is the truth. I don't want to follow him to death. I am still young and have a bright future. As long as I kill Yuan Shao, I will definitely die." You can stand out. Didn’t King Liang say that you can use talents in an eclectic manner... Brother An, you are willing to be a servant of the old Yuan’s family for the rest of your life, but I, Yuan Ping, am not.”

Yuan An's eyes seemed to breathe fire, but there was nothing he could do.

Yuan Ping turned around, picked up a steel knife from the campfire, strode into the shack, and came to the unconscious Yuan Shao.

"Master, don't blame me... you can only blame yourself, you don't know the number of days, and you want to fight against King Liang. I have served you since I was a child, and I have served you for 30 years, which is considered to be the most benevolent. Now, it is time for you to serve me!"

Yuan Ping, who had already become murderous, had a hideous and terrifying face.Raising the steel knife, the hand raised the knife and dropped it.

A cloud of fresh blood spurted out, and Yuan Ping's face was covered in blood.Yuan Shao's calculations all his life, in the end, he never expected to die in the hands of his slaves.

Yuan Ping wiped the hot blood from his face, untied Yuan Shao's hair, put it in his hand, held the knife, and walked out of the mountain with Yuan Shao's head.When entering the mountain, it is faltering.Now when he came out of the mountain, his steps were brisk.What Yuan Ping held in his hand was not just a human head, but his bright future, prosperity, wealth, and inexhaustible gold and silver treasures, how could he not be happy.

Thinking of these, Yuan Ping's footsteps were extraordinarily brisk.

After leaving the mountain, he looked for the direction and strode along the pipeline.After walking for more than an hour, there was a sound of horseshoes ahead.

A group of Guanzhong cavalry came running like lightning, under the light of the fire, the leading general was Zhu Ling.

Yuan Ping knew Zhu Ling and was overjoyed immediately, "General Wenbo, I have killed Yuan Shao, this is his head, please take me to see King Liang."

Zhu Ling didn't recognize Yuan Ping at first.

But after hearing Yuan Ping's words, his complexion suddenly became gloomy.

He has worked so hard to chase most of the night, didn't he just want to catch Yuan Shao and get the first victory?Who would have thought that this lowly slave would take the lead.

Looking back, the soldiers who came with him were all his own soldiers.

Zhu Ling gritted his teeth and urged the horse to rush over.Yuan Ping was dancing and shouting loudly, and Zhu Ling's Ma Ke came to him.

The big spear in his palm flicked, piercing Yuan Ping's heart.

Lifting his legs and kicking Yuan Ping to the ground, his own soldiers stepped forward, took Yuan Shao's head from Yuan Ping's hands, and hung it on Zhu Ling's horse's neck.

"Boys, follow me to Dong'a to meet King Liang and receive the reward!"
