The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5 Return to Yecheng
Fleeing from Muye, Cao Ren returned to Cao Cao's camp day and night.

Seeing him come back with his troops alone, Cao Cao wondered, "Why didn't Ziyuan come back with you?"

Thinking of everything that happened in Muye, Cao Ren couldn't hide his panic.

"Report to the lord." He lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "We did intercept Yuan Shao, but..."

"Just what?" Cao Ren hesitated to speak, Cao Cao sensed something was wrong.

"We met Yuan Xianxin." When Yuan Xu was mentioned, Cao Ren became even more panicked.

Among Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were grown up and led troops.

Before Guandu, Yuan Tan was named the governor of Qingzhou. He was in Qingzhou and defeated Kong Rong. Later, he confronted Zang Ba and others who had defected to Cao Cao for a long time. He was considered a remarkable figure.

Yuan Xiguan is also capable of worshiping the governor of Youzhou.

Mrs. Liu of the Yuan family in Hebei only gave birth to one son, Yuan Shang. As the son of the main family, he is powerful, not to mention.

As for Yuan Xu, he lost his biological mother when he was born. Apart from Yuan Shao, he has no one in the Yuan family to rely on.

Yuan Shao treats him no differently from other sons, but in the eyes of others, he is just an insignificant person!
Xu You captured him in Wuchao.

Cao Cao didn't even ask how to deal with it. He only heard that Yuan Xu was killed afterwards.

In order to attack Dong Zhuo, he recruited troops from Chenliu, and Cao Ren was the first one to join him.

Cao Ren, who was brave and knew the art of strategy and war, who had made great contributions on the battlefield, couldn't hide his panic when he mentioned the dead Yuan Xu.

weird!Weird!Contrary to common sense!

Cao Cao looked puzzled: "Didn't Yuan Xu be killed by Xu Ziyuan in Wuchao?"

"Yuan Xianxin was indeed pierced through the heart by Xu You's sword in Wuchao. There is absolutely no reason for him to survive." Cao Ren replied, "But I do see that he is still alive."

"So what if I'm alive?" Cao Cao frowned. "I'll just kill you again, the insignificant Lizi. Is Xu Ziyuan staying there to deal with Yuan Benchu ​​and his son?"

"No." Cao Ren replied, "He was killed by Yuan Xianxin."

Cao Cao was shocked: "You brought five thousand soldiers and horses, what is Yuan Xu capable of killing Xu Ziyuan in front of you?"

"I don't know where he learned the magic of demons." Cao Ren replied, "You can drive the dead to fight..."

With wide eyes, Cao Cao expressed disbelief: "Zixiao, you know how I am. I have always been kind to others, and I don't allow others to lie to me."

Cao Cao is cunning and cunning, he actually said that he was kind with a shy face...

"In front of my lord, I don't dare to say half a word." Cao Ren bowed and replied because he was so troubled by what happened in Muye that he even forgot to slander him.

After a long silence, Cao Cao ordered: "Bring Feng Xiao, Gong Da and others here."

Cao Ren retreated, Cao Cao's face was serious.

In the battle of Guandu, he won more with less, overturning the balance of military strength with the Yuan family.

As long as they push forward with all their strength, even if the Yuan family with deep roots cannot be wiped out, at least they can get a piece of the pie in Hebei.

When Yuan Xu, who can summon dead corpses to fight with demonic methods, appears, all advantages will be reduced to nothing...

Yuan Xu rescued Yuan Shao in Muye and escorted him to Yecheng.

Only two or three hundred miles away from Yecheng, a group of people came ahead.

The team was led by a young general.

This person was about twenty or so, his appearance was seven or eight points similar to Yuan Shao's, he was dressed in a military uniform and rode a snow-white horse, galloping forward like the wind.

It was Yuan Shang who stayed behind in Yecheng during the Battle of Guandu who led the troops to greet him.

When he arrived in front of Yuan Shao, he dismounted from his horse and bowed to salute: "The child is late, so please forgive me!"

"It was quite late." Almost being killed by Xu You in Muye, Yuan Shao's face was a bit ugly: "I expect you to welcome me, my head has already been taken off my neck."

Having received the news that he was ambushed in Muye, Yuan Shang did not dare to answer.

"Thanks to your fourth brother." Looking at Yuan Xu, Yuan Shao's expression became much better: "If it wasn't for him, I would definitely not be able to come back to Yecheng."

Knowing only that Yuan Shao was in crisis, but not knowing how to resolve it, Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Xu with astonishment.

The fourth brother has always been cowardly and has never led a soldier.

Since it was an interception, Cao Cao must have sent many troops.

What can he do alone?
Yuan Shao didn't explain to him, but ordered: "Lead the way ahead."

The welcoming soldiers moved out of the way, Yuan Shao and others passed by and followed behind.

Yuan Shang approached Yuan Xu and asked in a low voice, "How did you save your father?"

"I used some tricks." Of course Yuan Xu would not tell him the truth.

Summoning the undead is a sorcery in anyone's eyes.

The Yuan family is complicated internally, and the family relationship between the brothers is weak, otherwise Yuan Shang would not turn against Yuan Tan in order to inherit Hebei in the future.

It's not good for him to know too much.

Knowing that Yuan Xu didn't want to tell him the truth, Yuan Shang took a look at Feng Ji.

Feng Ji didn't show any expression, but nodded without a trace.

Their actions were all seen by Yuan Xu, and he also knew that Feng Ji would tell Yuan Shang everything when he returned to Yecheng.

Instead of letting Fengji sell this favor, it's better to say it yourself.

"Actually, I learned some spells." Yuan Xu lowered his voice as he approached Yuan Shang, "I made the dead body stand up and fight with Cao Jun, and only then did I save my father."

Yuan Shang was full of disbelief, he had never heard that someone could drive a dead body to fight.

"I am your elder brother, don't lie to me." Yuan Shang reminded: "When you return to Yecheng, you just need to find someone to ask, what happened that day, you can't hide it at all."

"How could you lie to elder brother?" Yuan Xu looked at Feng Ji: "If you don't believe me, just ask him."

He was welcoming Yuan Shao, and even if he wanted to know what happened that day, Yuan Shang would not immediately ask.

Looking at Yuan Xu suspiciously, he shook his head subconsciously. The fourth brother who grew up watching him had the opportunity to learn how to drive dead bodies.

How could God favor such a useless person like him?

News of Guandu's defeat had already reached Yecheng.

Most of the wealthy gentry ran away, and most of the remaining common people had no money and ability to leave their homes.

The bustling and prosperous city of Ye was depressed before the war.

Madam Liu greeted her at the city gate with her family and Yecheng officials.

Seeing Yuan Shao, she led the crowd to meet him.

"Welcome to your husband." Mrs. Liu bowed, and the people following her followed suit.

"No courtesy." Yuan Shao raised his hand wearily.

"My concubine is hosting a banquet at home to welcome my husband." Mrs. Liu said: "My husband has been working hard all the way..."

"I'm very tired." Yuan Shao interrupted her: "It's time for the wind."

He flatly rejected everything that had been carefully prepared, and Madam Liu was very embarrassed.

All the people who greeted them looked dignified and silent, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that people could hardly breathe.

"Father." Yuan Xu stepped forward: "I want to go to the prison."
