Chapter 440
Among the dead soldiers of the Son of Heaven's army, a bodyguard borrowed a spear from Xu Shu and went out to fight the four generals of Yuan and Cao, and defeated Wen Tu with one move. .

Seven or eight soldiers wanted to go up to deal with the guard saving Wentu, but who knew that the guard's marksmanship was extremely powerful, not only sharp, but also used the astonishing world-shaking spear attack, and instantly sent those Yuan Jun who wanted to save them to death. The soldiers fought back, and then came to Wen Tu single-handedly.

Wen Tu was lying on the ground, and just about to get up, he saw the guard hammer down the gun, and the barrel of the gun hit Wen Tu's back. With a "plop", Wen Tu fell down again in embarrassment.

The guard knocked Wen Tugan to the ground, and rode his horse up to watch him. Although there were a lot of Yuan Cao's soldiers and horses surrounding him, no one dared to go forward to save him for a while, which showed his might. .

He stood on the spot.Seeing more and more Yuan Cao's soldiers and horses surrounded him, his face was expressionless and fearless, as if he was in his own back garden.

It's no wonder, even though this guard is only over [-] years old, he has traveled around the Han Dynasty for many years and has seen a lot!

Although he is not from a powerful family, he can be considered as a descendant of a famous family!In the third year of Chuping, after practicing martial arts with his father, he thought that his skills were great, so he began to travel around the world. His ambition was not to be famous, but to travel around and see how the heroes of the world are.

In the second year of his travels around the world, he applied for Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, to join the army under a pseudonym, and became a silent pioneer in front of the account, not for other reasons, just to experience the life of the army.

That is, in this year, Sun Ce and Liu Yao fought!
In the battle of Shenting, the little overlord Sun Ce fought Donglai Taishici. He saw the hero Taishici and admired him in his heart. In order to let Taishici and Sun Ce have a fair fight, he angrily stopped Sun Jun's twelve fierce cavalry, single-handedly, even After defeating several generals of the Sun Army, even Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, the veterans of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, bowed their heads and bowed their heads. The twelve cavalry generals were terrified and moved, and they did not dare to easily join Sun Ce and Tai Shici in the duel. It was a feat that caused a sensation in Jiangnan .

As soon as the Battle of Shenting was over, after seeing the bravery of Xiaobawang and Tai Shici, he didn't stay any longer, and when Liu Yao's army came to meet the chaotic battle between the two sides, he resolutely left the battlefield without even bothering to say anything In one sentence, Tai Shici was not even given a chance to thank him or talk to him.

This person only had a glimpse at Shenting, but since then he has become the silent shame of Sun Jun's generals, and it has also become Tai Shici's regret for half his life.

He changed his name and surname, and went to Wancheng to serve as a silent pawn under the tent of his pseudonymous brother Zhang Xiu.

In the second year of Jian'an, during the night battle in Wancheng, he saw the brave Dian Wei who was known as the villain, and left resolutely, changed his name again, and joined the army in Xuzhou.

In the battle of Xiapi, he saw Lu Bu, the world's number one flying general, in a different place with his head in the Baimen Tower, and then fled away.

White horse Guan Yu beheads Yan Liang...

Yanjin Wenchou was punished...

Over the years, he has traveled all over the world, but he has never missed a trace of it. In his heart, wherever there is trouble in the world, wherever there are heroes, he will appear there, but he is just a bystander who will never be noticed. Just look.

………………

Suddenly, there was a strong wind from behind the guard's head, and the blade energy was like cold wind, but someone attacked from behind. Although the person used a sneak attack method, the attack was ruthless and fierce.

The guard frowned slightly.

He quickly turned around on the horse, and the long spear in his right hand was erected to block it abruptly, not afraid of the heavy force of the double iron halberds held by the opponent, and went straight to his front.

"boom!"

The guard's long spear collided violently with the big iron halberd, sending Dianman and his iron halberd flying out and crashing onto the grass.

The guard glanced at the big iron halberd in Dianman's hand, twitched his mouth, and said, "Your father is Dian Wei, right? Compared with your father, your strength is really far behind."

Dian Man howled furiously, covered in mud, without adjusting his breath, stood up and picked up an iron halberd, swung the halberd twice and rushed forward on foot.

The guard couldn't help but nodded slowly, and said, "This unafraid of death is very similar to your father."

After finishing speaking, he saw him raise his right arm and put the spear end on the fork of the iron halberd. Dianman's iron halberd came to the door as if he was throwing himself into his arms.

Glancing at Dianman's slightly distorted and ferocious face due to excessive force, the guard asked, "Dianwei's son, what's your name?"

Dianman struggled and couldn't move. While frightened by the unfathomable strength of the enemy, he was so ashamed and angry that he cursed: "Grandson, I am your old man Dianmandian! Let go of Lao Tzu's iron halberd, let's fight again! "

The guard's eyes flashed, annoyed that he was speechless, he hugged the spear back, causing Dianman to move forward, he grabbed the horse's left leg and drew it out, kicked it in the face, and said contemptuously: "Get out!"

Dianman was indeed obedient, after being kicked, his body rolled a few feet involuntarily in the air, and he steadied himself suddenly, but he was supported by a black figure who came over quickly, so he avoided falling into the mud .

The person who caught Dian Wei was Xu Yi, seeing that this elegant general had excellent marksmanship and strength, he couldn't help being shocked and dared not fight him lightly.

These characters seem to have more force than my father Xu Chu!How can I defeat myself?
Dianman panted heavily, spit out two mouthfuls of phlegm, and stared at the guard with frenzied eyes.

"My husband, I am not your opponent now, and I have nothing to say about the loss. Wait for me to practice hard for a few more years, and I swear to avenge today's humiliation!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Yi behind him and said, "Brother, this man is so amazing that he cannot be defeated by one person, let's fight together with everyone's strength!"

"........."

While he was speaking, there was a sound of Ming Jin ordering the troops to retreat behind him.

"........."

********************************
White horse, Yuan Cao's discussion camp.

Today is the day of another negotiation between Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi. The two led all their advisors to the place of negotiation early.

When the two met, there was no extra words.

Cao Zhi sat down with a serious face, looked at Yuan Shang and said, "Yuan Weiwei, how did you think about the conditions for you to release our prisoners last time? Let me tell you, the truth is busy with work, and I don't have time to talk to you. You've been wasting your time here! Whether you let me go or not, I'm waiting for a word from you today!"

Yuan Shang was not worried, just smiled slightly, and said: "Prime Minister Cao, you don't have to worry, today is the last day of our negotiation, don't worry, after today, even if you keep me, Yuan won't stay for one more day, you Would I be happy to play with you?"

Cao Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Are you going to release our prisoners?"

The corner of Yuan Shang's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't dream, Prime Minister Cao, do you think I'm stupid? Now you don't say that you can make me a great general, but even if you want me to be an official, your majesty may not even pee on you. Why are you here to betray me? Who are you fooling!"

As soon as he said this, he saw Cao Zhi's face suddenly turned pale. Behind him, Guo Jia frowned slightly, Jia Xu sighed secretly, Liu Ye clenched his fists secretly, and the rest of Dong Zhao, Wang Lang and others had different colors, obviously A certain heartstring was touched by Yuan Shang's words.

Cao Zhi stabilized his mind, suppressed his uneasiness, gave Yuan Shang a cold look, and said, "What does Mr. Yuan mean by this? Please forgive me for not knowing the truth."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said helplessly: "Don't deceive yourself, is it interesting? Prime Minister Cao, you can hide it from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide it from the fifteenth day. Do you think you can really cover up such a big thing as the emperor's escape for the rest of your life? You can't stop getting angry! Are you thinking too highly of yourself, or are you taking my Hebei sentry secrets too seriously?"

Cao Zhi wanted to speak when he heard the words, but Yuan Shang said again: "Besides, the emperor fled, and you don't move every single soldier here, but just let your brother Cao Chong lead five hundred elites to rush eastward to act as pursuers. My younger brother Yuan Mai has already sent someone to inform me! You ask me how he knows? To tell you the truth, he also went after him!"

Cao Zhi felt a chill in his heart, knowing that even if he wanted to keep concealing it, he couldn't help it, so he said calmly: "Since you already know everything, why are you playing with me here? The Son of Heaven is no longer under Cao's control. , you just send someone to chase after you, and if you get the Son of Heaven, don’t say you want to be the Great General Sima, even if you want to be called the Duke and the King, it’s no problem at all!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "If I raise soldiers to seize the Son of Heaven now, and you take the opportunity to harass our states and counties and attack my soldiers and horses, how can I resist? And you have been here to accompany me to waste money, isn't it because you are afraid that I will take the opportunity to go south to seize the emperor?" Your territory? It's the same reason, why do you want to test me?"

Cao Zhi smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Yuan's words are sincere and do not deceive me."

Yuan Shang's eyes swept over Cao Zhi's face, then looked at Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, and suddenly said: "The emperor is lost, what are you going to do next?"

Cao Zhi was silent, but Guo Jia teased and said: "Mr. Yuan's question is interesting. Yuan and Cao are deadly enemies. What do we think, and we have to report to you in advance?"

Yuan Shang smiled and knocked on the table in front of him, saying: "Of course not, to be honest, I'm not interested in any ideas you have, but I do have an idea right now, I don't know if you want to hear it?"

Cao Zhi and Guo Jia turned their heads at the same time: "I don't want to!"

Yuan Shang slightly raised his eyebrows: "Really don't want to?"

But Jia Xu coughed and said: "Don't pay attention to them... What Yuan Gong thinks, it's okay to try."

Yuan Shang gave Jia Xu a grateful look, and said, "Prime Minister Cao, to be honest, we really underestimated the Son of Heaven this time! He not only took advantage of the negotiation between you and me to escape from Xuchang. He also used Liu Bei from Jingzhou to attract most of the troops in Zhongzhou for him. Afterwards, he also instigated Changxi from Hebei, and Xu He and Sima Ju from your land of Mount Tai. Playing around with applause! Not only that, the emperor did not go to Jingzhou, but went east to Luoyang. What is his purpose? You must have guessed it. Luoyang is located at the junction of Yuan, Cao, and Liu. It will definitely be resisted by the other two families at the same time, and His Majesty will deal with the three families, use the imperial decree to make the three families restrain each other, recruit troops and buy horses, and sit back and watch the world change! This move is not ruthless!"

Cao Zhi frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Even so, you and I have nothing to do. If I take the emperor, you won't do it, and if you want to take the emperor, I won't let you."

Yuan Shang said seriously: "Then let His Majesty be blind in Luoyang and show off his might to us?"

Cao Zhi looked at him: "What do you want?"

Yuan Shang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the prerequisite for the establishment of these plans is that all three of us want to seize him! Then we might as well do the opposite. Let's all make an agreement. In the matter of competing for the emperor, no one will fight. Don’t fight, in front of the emperor, we will fight together, step on the same boat, out of the eyes of the emperor, we will fight and do whatever we want, we will live and die according to our abilities, and have nothing to do with others, what do you think?”

As soon as Yuan Shang's words came out, not only Cao Zhi, but also Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help being surprised.

Jia Xu frowned, and said uncharacteristically, "Mr. Yuan, please be more clear? How can we fight together and stand on the same boat?"

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "I have already sent someone to invite Liu Bei from Jingzhou. We will meet at the Sanguan Pass in Wanluo. Each of the three families will lead [-] elite soldiers to go to Luoyang together!"

Cao Zhi was stunned when he heard the words: "What are you doing in Luoyang at this time?"

Yuan Shang showed a sincere smile: "How fresh is it? The emperor established a new capital and wants to make a big splash. Those of us who are foreign princes, don't go to court for a while, is it reasonable?"

Guo Jia smiled a little, and said: "Guo understands, Mr. Yuan, what are you doing here? It's clearly a coercion."

Yuan Shang nodded, and said seriously: "Let's talk about taboos. In today's world, there are only four people who are truly capable of being called opponents. I, you, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. This time the emperor moved the capital, and Sun Quan is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. He has nothing to do with it. Only the two of us and Liu Bei are involved in this. We can't let the emperor lead us by the nose. He wants to provoke us and check and balance us, but we are united to fight against him! I mean, for the emperor, None of the three of us will fight or rob, so we will leave him in Luoyang for joint control, and the three families will coerce him to restrict his development in Luoyang. Zhongmu and Hejian are the vanguard sentinels who monitor the emperor and also monitor each other. The three families go to Beijing at the same time every three months to ask for an imperial edict. As for the outside of the imperial court, the three of us may fight or make peace, each depending on its ability, how about it?"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Cao Zhi stood up abruptly, and said, "Yuan Shang, you can actually say that, it's really outrageous~!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly: "Don't worry about whether I'm rebellious or not, are you going to do it? If you don't do it, I will join forces with Liu Bei? You won't have a share then!"

Just as Cao Zhi wanted to say no, Guo Jia gently tugged on his sleeve, signaling him not to speak, and then said: "The specific matters will be discussed in detail at that time, so what should we do now?"

Yuan Shang spread his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "The emperor is not in Xudu, the negotiation between you and me is meaningless, the two armies withdraw their troops, you go back to Xuchang, I go back to Yecheng, and then you and I each order troops and invite Duke Xuande , go to Wanluo Sanguan crossing together, everyone is united and friendly, and go to congratulate the emperor together happily, what's the idea?"

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Just follow Yuan Gong's words!"

Cao Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Feng Xiao, this... this is a big treason..."

But Guo Jia's sharp eyes suddenly glanced over.

Cao Zhi fell silent for a while.

***********************
The agreement was agreed, and the two families went back to prepare. On the way, Cao Zhi said unwillingly: "Mr. Feng Xiao, I don't understand why Yuan Shang is so rebellious and said such things? Why did you agree to him!"

Guo Jia stroked his beard without any panic: "Because what he said fits the current situation."

Seeing that Cao Zhi was puzzled, Guo Jia said: "Prime Minister, in today's world, all the princes, big and small, should be exterminated, and those who should be harvested. When the competition is in full swing, His Majesty cannot be allowed to come out to disrupt the situation at this time."

Jia Xu stood beside Cao Zhi and said, "That's right, the emperor is in Luoyang, and none of the three families can try to take it. If they want to take it forcibly, they will be used instead. It's better, as Yuan Shang said, everyone is honest and united against the court. Give the court an opportunity to stand up and expand its power."

Cao Zhi said: "Even so, the three families have reached an agreement, and placed soldiers and horses in Hejian, Wancheng, and Zhongmou to restrict the court. Why do you have to join forces to force the palace? Isn't this disrespectful? Yuan Shang is ignorant, how can you two?" Follow blindly?"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other, and then both sighed in unison.

This prime minister, compared with Yuan Shang's ghostly eyes, is still much less.

Jia Xu turned her head and said, "Explain, I don't know how to say it."

Guo Jia smiled a little: "You will save your worries...Prime Minister, this time you join forces to force the palace, what are you doing when Yuan Shang is full and has nothing to do? He has a purpose!"

Cao Zhi frowned and said, "What purpose?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven is in Luoyang. After all, it is not the same as the feudal lords fighting each other. There is nothing wrong with the feudal lords fighting each other. Yuan Shang can send troops to fight you, and you can also send troops to fight Yuan Shang. But if the princes fight the Son of Heaven, this is not a matter. It’s so easy to talk about! Except for a bastard like Li Jue and Guo Si, can you and Yuan Shang do it?”

Cao Zhi seemed to realize something when he heard the words.

"Prime Minister, think about it, so many princes in the world have been destroyed, why Liu Bei still survives after repeated defeats? And the tolerance of his subordinates has not only decreased, but increased? His own ability is one thing, and another point is because He is the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty! He is Emperor Zhou!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia sighed and said: "In today's world, the hearts of scholars are still toward the Han Dynasty. The prestige of 400 years is not so easy to obliterate. An emperor's uncle sitting in the town has such appeal. Once an emperor succeeds in sitting on one side, wouldn’t the world’s scholars and capable people gather together one after another? Liu Bei understands this best, and he also knows the power of people’s support for the Han. Guo estimates that this is the most important thing he promised Yuan Shang. The reason! The purpose of Yuan Shang’s alliance with us to force the palace is nothing else, but to warn those eager scholars in the world that the emperor is still not independent, or cannot be independent, and he is still under the control of our three families! I'm afraid it won't be a few years..."

Cao Zhi was stunned when he heard the words: "Once the emperor sits in Xudu, there is no good reason, and he can't send troops. If he doesn't, he will be allowed to develop. The best way to restrict his development is to force the palace! Let the world see, the emperor is still the one who can't do it." Supporting puppet, right?"

"That's the reason..."
