The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 Missed the Chance to Live

Yuan Xu said that he had an army of tens of thousands.

To slander, the Huns have recuperated for many years, and one hundred thousand warriors can be called at any time.

Tens of thousands of troops...

Facing the Huns, it seems nothing.

If he hadn't learned on the way that the locust plague had been resolved lightly, he would definitely think that Yuan Xu was exaggerated and ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the earth.

Without finding out the details of Yuan Xu, Qu Bei didn't dare to make mistakes, and said: "Young master is right."

"Since it has been repaired, the Xiongnu will not come to the Central Plains from now on." Yuan Xu's next words made it difficult for Qu Bei to accept: "We can talk slowly about the people or things that were captured from the Central Plains in the past. In the future, the Huns must remember , Whoever offends me will be punished no matter how far away!"

Qu Bei's face became ugly: "I don't quite understand what you mean, young master."

"Just pass it on to Da Shanyu." Yuan Xu didn't explain, "Send You Xianwang to rest."

The guards led Qu Bei and Cai Yan to leave, and Yuan Xu asked Jiang Gan, "Did you remember the route to the Xiongnu this time?"

"It's been written down." Jiang Gan replied: "When the son sends troops to the Huns, I can lead the way." "

Yuan Xu ordered Jiang Gan to go to the Xiongnu to fetch Cai Yan back.

Tian Feng and others thought that he was just trying to bring back the talented woman.

No one thought that Jiang Gan would have other tasks when he went outside the pass.

"My lord has long planned to send troops to the Huns?" Tian Feng asked.

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart!" Yuan Xu replied: "Cao Cao and others are just itchy skin, and the Xiongnu is a serious problem."

"Going to Beibei to send Cai Zhaoji and Gao Gan to Yecheng, I'm afraid that the teacher will be unknown." Tian Feng replied.

"So I'm looking for a name?" Yuan Xu replied: "To anger the Xiongnu, ask them to do something out of line first, and if you have an excuse, beat them up."

"When does the young master plan to send troops?" Guo Jia asked.

Yuan Xu believed that the Xiongnu would provoke troubles, Jiang Gan was a little puzzled by this.

He asked Yuan Xu: "Since Hu Chuquan is good at making troubles, why did he send high-ranking officials to curry favor with your son?"

"He flattered me because he couldn't figure out the details." Yuan Xu replied, "That's why I said there are only tens of thousands of troops."

Jiang Gan understood instantly.

Facing the Huns, a strong attitude will make the Huns confused.

While flattering, the Xiongnu will definitely investigate the strength of the Yuan family.

Once you find out that you are not as strong as you imagined, can you not take back all the humiliation you have suffered recently?

From the day Jiang Gan left the customs, Yuan Xu was digging holes for the Huns.

The Huchuquan sent to Bailaiye City is jumping into this pit.

Yuan Xu stood up: "Zhengnan accompanied me to see the high officials, and the others dispersed."

Everyone dispersed, and the judge accompanied Yuan Xu to the prison.

Gao Gan went to the Xiongnu in order to borrow troops from Huchuquan.

The soldiers were not borrowed, and were escorted to Yecheng, where they became Yuan Xu's prisoners.

Full of regret, he sat on the haystack in the cell and sighed.

His mind was full of recent events, and he was so focused that he didn't hear Yuan Xu's footsteps.

The jailer went outside the cell first, and knocked on the railing: "Young Master, I see you are here."

Gao Gan froze for a moment, and quickly stood up.

Yuan Xu brought the judge and came to him.

After staring at Gao Gan for a long time, he shook his head.

Being stared at by him made him hairy all over, how could Gao Gan dare to meet his eyes.

"Why do you want to die if you don't leave the way of life?" Yuan Xu asked.

"I know I was wrong." Gao Gan grabbed the railing: "Xianxin...no...my lord, my lord spare my life, I am willing to hold the whip and support the saddle."

"It's late." Yuan Xu shook his head: "I gave you a chance, even if you retreated to Yanmen Pass, as long as you surrendered, you would not be killed. But you just went outside the pass to hook up with the Huns, intending to lure foreigners into the Central Plains."

When mentioning the Huns, Gao Gan looked remorseful.

He shouldn't have gone outside the pass, let alone borrow troops from the Huns.

If you don't go to the Huns, at least you won't leave Yuan Xu with a high-sounding excuse.

When death is imminent, Gao Gan just wants to grab the last straw.

He said to Yuan Xu: "I mentioned surrendering at Yanmen Pass, but Guo Fengxiao forbade it."

"Fengxiao is not allowed, you will not send someone to meet me in Yecheng?" Yuan Xu asked him.

Gao Gan immediately understood that Yuan Xu came here only to send him on his way.

In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Guo Jia blocked the water around the pass and sent people to Yecheng, it was a dream come true!

"It seems that I have to die?" Gao Gan asked without giving up.

Yuan Xu nodded: "I must die."

"How do you want to kill me?" Gao Gan asked, "Ling Chi or five horses?"

"It's too troublesome." Yuan Xu replied: "We are cousins ​​after all, so we must let you go with dignity."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'll leave you with a dead body." Yuan Xu said, "I know you won't commit suicide, so I can only help you."

He winked at the guard.

Two guards took out a length of white cloth, the jailer opened the cell door, and they entered.

When he came behind Gao Gan, one of them quickly wrapped a white cloth around his neck, and then pulled one end with the other guard, exerting all their strength in the opposite direction.

Gao Gan was so strangled that he couldn't breathe and struggled to get rid of it.

How could the guard let him succeed, so he used more strength.

Standing outside the cell, Yuan Xu watched two guards strangle Gao Gan to death.

He asked the judge: "How will the corpses of death row prisoners be arranged in the past?"

"If someone claims it, hand it over to your family to bring it back." The examiner replied, "If no one will admit it, throw it on the fire and burn it."

"His family has long since dispersed." Yuan Xu said, "It's not justified to throw it into the fire."

"What do you plan, son?" the judge asked.

"Find a piece of land outside the city." Yuan Xu replied, "Give a generous burial as a general."

He turned and left the cell, followed by the judge.

"Zhengnan doesn't need to follow me." Yuan Xu ordered: "The high-level cook should go to the funeral."

After the judge left, Yuan Xu asked the guard: "Do you know where Cai Zhaoji lives?"

He once told Tian Feng to find a house to settle down with Cai Yan.

The specific things were not handled personally.

Tian Feng had reported it to him, but he only knew the general location, not which house or house.

Before Cai Yan came to Yecheng, the residence had already been arranged.

There really are guards who know where she lives.

After ordering the guards who knew the place to lead the way, Yuan Xu went to Cai Yan's residence.

After settling down, Cai Yan was accompanied by her maid to check everywhere, and a servant reported that Yuan Xu had come.

She hurried to the door.

When Yuan Xu came over, Cai Yan bowed his body to salute, "I don't know that the young master is coming, but I am far away from welcoming you, please don't blame me."

"I just went to the prison to meet the high officials." Yuan Xu said, "I just came here to see how things are settled."

"My lord, I'm sorry." Cai Yan moved aside: "Please come in and serve tea."

Entering the house, Yuan Xu looked around and asked Cai Yan, "I heard that you have a son and a daughter in the Huns?"

Cai Yan replied: "There are indeed children, born to my concubine and Liu Bao, the virtuous king of Zuo."
