Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 139 Ma Jun (1)

"Report!" After dealing with Lu Bu, when Li Song got up and was about to leave the White Gate Tower, a sound came from a distance. Jumped off the horse and ran towards Li Song.

Kneeling down on one knee in front of Li Song, he said, "Report to the prime minister! I found the traces of Yuan Shu's army ten miles away from Xiapi!"

"Yuan Shu's army?" Li Song frowned, how could there be traces of Yuan Shu's army here?What is Yuan Shu going to do? "Quickly find out the intentions of Yuan Shu's army!"

"No!" The man replied, got up, mounted his horse, and galloped away.

"My lord! This Yuan Shu army appeared near Xiapi City at this time. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy! We have to guard against it!" Pei Yuanqing said.

Li Song thought it was right, if Yuan Shu had no plans, why would he send troops to Xiapi?Group tour?This is not nonsense!
"Come on! Call Tan Daoji, Xue Tong, and Xiao Mohe to see me!" Li Song ordered people to go and call Tan Daoji, Xue Tong, and Xiao Mohe!

A personal guard left in a hurry to look for the three.At this time, Hou Cheng who was standing aside said, "Prime Minister! I know why Yuan Shu sent troops here!"

"Oh!" Everyone looked at Hou Cheng, and Li Song said, "Hou Cheng, what do you think Yuan Shu is going to do next? How did you know?"

"Report to the prime minister! Before the prime minister diverted the water from Yisi to submerge Xiapi, Lu Bu ordered his counselors Wang Kai and Xu Si to go to Yuan Shu for help!"

"Under the guard of Chang Xi, the two of them left the south gate and headed for Huainan. Since then, there has been no news. Come to think of it, Yuan Shu sent troops here! It must be related to this matter!"

"As for how I know, when Lu Bu sent these two people there, I happened to have something to look for Lu Bu, and I happened to overhear!" Hou Cheng said.

"Who guarded the south gate when the city was besieged?" Li Song turned around and asked Pei Yuanqing and others!

"My lord! It's the last general!" Seeing someone answering, Li Song turned his head and saw that it was Tan Daoji and the three who spoke, and the person who spoke was Xiao Mahe.

"Yuan Yin! When you were guarding the south gate, did you ever see someone go out of the city through the south gate you guarded?" Li Song asked.

"Return to the lord! I have never seen someone break through the south gate!" Xiao Mahe said.

Didn't see it?Hou Cheng actually said yes, then there are two possibilities, one is that Hou Cheng lied to me, and the other is that Wang Kai, Xu Si and others left the city before the army besieged the city.

Compared with the former, Li Song is more willing to believe that it is the latter. Hou Chengxin is just in need of expressing himself, and using this matter to deceive him is not asking for death!
Xiao Mahe's next sentence brought Li Song back to reality from his contemplation, "However, during the siege, I met a group of people at the south gate, secretly planning to sneak into Xiapi City, and I happened to meet them."

"I led my troops to intercept them! Who knows, they couldn't make a move in my hands, so they became my ghosts!"

"Then why didn't you report it!" Pei Yuanqing stepped forward and pointed at Xiao Mahe.

"At that time, I saw that this group of people were all dressed in ordinary clothes! I didn't think about it, and I didn't report it to the lord!" Xiao Mahe said.

"What do these people look like?" Li Song asked.

Xiao Mahe carefully recalled the situation at that time, and described their appearance to Li Song. Three of them were confirmed by Hou Cheng and others before they were confirmed to be Wang Kai, Xu Si, and Chang Xi. After the mission, he was eliminated by Xiao Mahe.

In this way, only Yuan Shu knows about the conspiracy between them.

"Daoji, Xue Tong, and Yuan Yin! I order the three of you to lead [-] troops and go ten miles outside Xiapi City to face Yuan Shu's army. You must not attack without my order!" Li Song ordered.

"Promise!" Tan Daoji and the three took orders and left!

Since Yuan Shu dared to send troops under his nose, Li Song had to pay back no matter what. It would be good if he didn't directly send troops to attack Yuan Shu!

After dealing with the matter here, Li Song left Baimen Tower and came to Xiapi City, where he lived in the mansion originally belonging to Lu Bu. He waited for everything to be settled before returning to Xuchang. As for Yuan Shu in Huainan, Li Song didn't pay much attention to it. Here, a dying person doesn't have so much effort to waste on this.

Within Yuan Shu's army, Yuan Shu generals Ji Ling and Zhang Xun had a disagreement after learning that Lu Bu was defeated!Zhang Xun advocated taking the opportunity to attack Xiapi, while Ji Ling advocated withdrawing from the border of Xuzhou and returning to Huainan.

Just when the two of them were arguing so hard that they almost fought!Suddenly heard that the spies came to report!It was discovered that tens of thousands of troops were coming towards them in Xiapi City.

Ji Ling and Zhang Xun combined!Immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Huainan. This time Yuan Shu sent troops to support Lv Bu, but it was just a show. He originally planned to take advantage of them not paying attention to pick up some bargains. He didn't fight Li Song, but he was discovered. It is to be withdrawn.

When Tan Daoji and the others came here, they found that Ji Ling and Zhang Xun had withdrawn their troops, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to the camp to report to Li Song.

A few days later, the affairs in Xuzhou were almost settled, and Li Song also planned to return to Xuchang.

Li Song took a book from the shelf next to him, sat down at the only table in the room, made a pot of tea, and prepared some snacks. This room was Li Song's temporary study in Xiapi.

Sitting by the window and reading a book, drinking tea, and eating snacks have become what Li Song does every day.

"Get out of the way! I want to see Brother Song!"

"General! The Prime Minister has an order! No one is allowed to enter without a summons! Please forgive me, General!"

"..." Just as Li Song was looking at it and wanted to doze off, the voices of Li Yuanba and his personal guard came from outside the door.

"Is Yuanba here? Come in!" Li Song shouted towards the door.

The personal guard hurriedly opened the door, stepped aside, Li Yuanba stepped in, saw Li Song grinning, and shouted loudly: "Brother Song!"

After calling, you are welcome!When I came to the desk, I picked up a snack and ate it. After eating, I picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of tea.

"This stuff doesn't taste good at all! Brother Song, why do you drink it every day! It's better to drink to your heart's content!" Li Yuanba put down the teapot and said a few words.

"Why did you come to my study today?" Li Song asked while reading.

"Brother Song! When I went out for a walk today, I found a strange thing!" Li Yuan said overbearingly.

After Li Song heard it, he only thought it was a joke, but he didn't take it for a while. He might not know that this kid was cheated again, "Let's hear it!"

"When I went out for a walk today, I passed by a house. I was thirsty, so I went to ask for some water! I accidentally saw a woman weaving silk."

"Brother Song! You would never have imagined that the weaving machine she uses is so strange!" Li Yuan said aggressively.

"What's so strange? You can't see this silk weaving machine, isn't it just for weaving silk! Why did you make such a fuss!" Li Song said.

"The one she uses is different! All silk weaving machines have fifty threads and fifty pedals, but she only uses twelve pedals." Li Yuanba said.
