The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 21 Sentinel Riding

"Why does this kid look so similar to Yuan Shao when he was young!"

Xun Yu used to be a staff member under Yuan Shao's tent in his early years, so he knew Yuan Shao's voice and appearance very well. Now looking at the boy who led the troops to besiege the city, his appearance was quite different from Yuan Shao's youthful demeanor.

While Xun Yu was astonished, he couldn't help feeling uneasy, and a bad idea began to linger in his mind.

This young young man, he must not be the son of Yuan Shao, right?

It's not that he, Xun Yu, was afraid of Yuan Shao's naive son, it's just that he knew Yuan Shao very well, which was not comparable to ordinary people.

When Xun Yu worked for Yuan Shao in his early years, he knew that Yuan Shao had always been known as a calf protector, especially when he got older. This Hebei overlord usually seemed arrogant, but he was really kind to his children. The baby is in a hurry, just looking at the way he governs the four states of Hebei, one can see one or two disadvantages.

In the four prefectures of Hebei, Yuan Shao left behind his third favorite son, Yuan Shang, who lived in Jizhou with him. In addition, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou were all under the control of his two sons and one nephew.

Yuan Tan guarded Qingzhou, Yuan Xi guarded Youzhou, Gao Gan guarded Bingzhou, and the ruling power of the entire Hebei was shrouded under the Yuan family.

In Xun Yu's view, this is the fundamental way to create chaos!But it can also be seen from it that Yuan Shao's emphasis on and trust in the family is far higher than that of other princes from all walks of life.

If this kid is Yuan Shao's son, according to Yuan Shao's character of protecting the calf to the extreme, it is for his son's safety, this battle will definitely not lose soldiers and horses.

In this way, I'm afraid Xu is in danger!
After clearing the thoughts in his head, Xun Yu immediately straightened his face, and shouted at Yuan Shang at the bottom of the city: "A general in the army, can you give me your name?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard the words, good guy, just asked the right idea!

"It's easy to say! I am the current general, the son of General Muyuan of Jizhou, and Yuan Shang, the third son of Jizhou!"

Xun Yu felt sad when he heard the words, sure enough!

I'm really afraid of something, Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, no one in the world knows that Yuan Shao loves this son alone, this time even this kid is on the battlefield, the army to conquer Xudu must be extremely strong!

With a long sigh, Xun Yu turned his head and whispered to the attendants: "Order the officers and men of all ministries to patrol day and night, and guard the city well. Don't let Yuan Jun have any gaps. I will write a letter to Sir Sikong, order Cao Sikong Quickly lead the troops to the rescue!"

"promise!"

******************
In less than half an hour, the north gate of Xudu immediately opened a line, and more than a dozen fast horses galloped out. The same went to the north.

The news was quickly investigated by Yuan Jun's scouts and quickly reported to Yuan Shang's office.

After Yuan Shang heard the news, he couldn't help laughing: "Have you finally sent someone to report the news? One faction even sent out more than ten cavalry. Cao Jun's work efficiency is really ridiculously high, good, very good! Order the soldiers of the various ministries, the city will not Hit, let's withdraw!"

Zhang Jai stepped forward on his horse and said to Yuan Shang: "Xu Du sent sentry cavalry to inform Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's super fast deployment of troops, he may return in a short time and block all the roads going north. Young master, how should we retreat this time?"

Yuan Shang restrained his joy when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Yes, Cao Cao's army is rushing back. I'm afraid it's impossible for us to go back the same way. Does General Zhang know of any way to return to Hebei?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jai took out a small roll of leather map from his pocket, spread it out slowly in front of Yuan Shang, pointed to the winding roads on the map and said: "In addition to going straight from Guandu to Baima Ferry, there are also There are two other roads to take, one is to take the Guanzhong Road, which goes through Hejian to the Gaogan of Bingzhou, and the other is to pass through Xuzhou, pass through Beihai, and go to Yuan Tan, the prince of Qingzhou. It is very difficult for Cao Jun to send elites to block all the main roads, but it is too far away, and it will take a lot of trouble."

Yuan Shang touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "The land in the middle of the pass is too dangerous, and the pass is so tall that it is not conducive to the march of so many cavalry. The roads in Xuzhou are open and flat. Let's go in the direction of Xuzhou!"

At this time, Gao Lan rode his horse and came to Yuan Shang. Hearing the words, his mouth cracked, and he said in a rather sad voice: "But, third son, let's take a detour back to Hebei from Xuzhou. The journey is too far. This time Qingqi sneaked into Xuchang. The soldiers of the three armies only brought seven days of dry food, I'm afraid it may not be enough, and they won't be able to reach Hebei."

"Not enough dry food?" Yuan Shang's face was a little dark when he heard this.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "If it's not enough, it's not enough. Let's think of a way halfway. In short, order the three armies to integrate the troops immediately, and the whole army will rush to Xuzhou and retreat."

"promise!"

The second general took the order to turn his horse and go away, just after taking a few steps out, Yuan Shang suddenly heard Yuan Shang shout again: "Wait a minute!"

The second general turned his head in doubt, and looked at Yuan Shang curiously.

"We can't hurry to leave now, we still have one business to do."

***********************
Shangshu Lingfu.

After Xun Yu wrote the emergency letter and copied more than ten copies, he immediately selected more than ten shrewd soldiers in the army and ordered them to each hold a copy and set off quickly. The letter was sent to Cao Cao, asking him to send troops to rescue him quickly.

After everything was done smoothly, Xun Yu sat down with a sigh of relief, rubbed his tired forehead, and felt a little relieved.

More than a dozen emergency letters, each starting from different directions and roads, no matter how bad it is, one should be sent to Cao Cao, right?
Just one!As long as one letter is delivered, all problems will be solved.

Xun Yu was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the urgent sound of footsteps outside the door.

However, the attendant rushed into the study in a hurry, hurriedly bowed to Xun Yu, and said, "Lingjun! Xun Lingjun!"

Xun Yu's heart trembled, he turned his head hastily, and asked the attendant with a heavy expression, "What's the matter? Could it be that Yuan Jun started attacking the city?"

The attendant shook his head, and said to Xun Yu with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, the event is very strange! After our army's sentry cavalry rushed out, Yuan Jun's momentum was not as arrogant as before, and the dust in the forest far away No more, just surround the four gates, rest on the ground, and don't attack the city, I don't know what it is."

Xun Yu was dumbfounded when he heard the words.

After a long while, I saw this normally personable Shang Shuling suddenly slapped the table, and said with a sigh: "I accidentally fell into the trick of Huangkou Xiaoer's tree blooming. It's so ridiculous." , quickly bring the bamboo slips, I want to write another letter to the lord. Please don’t send troops to rescue Xu Du!"
