Lu's relatives

Chapter 317 Everyone waits and sees, Yuxi gains and loses again

Lu Bu is finally happy!The war in the past ten months has been fought so smoothly, and there are even more smiles on his face.

Xiapi is located on the Lujiang River, which traverses more than [-] li. It is all plains and there is no danger to defend. It is just like Lv Bu's army, which is mainly composed of cavalry. The large army was almost pursued by Lu Bu and led by less than [-] cavalry. If it weren't for the fact that the battle line was getting longer and longer, and the supply of army rations had become more and more difficult, Lu Bu would have been able to break through the Lujiang River in one go, and he would have taken Yuan Shu's lair. .

However, although they all pretended to conquer the rebellion for the big man and destroy Yuan Shu, the surrounding forces who have been waiting and watching for a long time did not send troops.Just as the offensive of Lu Bu's army slowed down, Cao Cao left his subordinates Xun Yu and General Xia Houdun to sit in Xuchang in order to guard against Yuan Tansheng, the new head of the Yuan family, who had already said that he would drive Yuan Shu out of the Yuan family wall. He personally led the [-] soldiers and horses of the headquarters, holding the imperial edict issued by the emperor Liu Xie, and also came to join in the fun.

When Cao Cao moved, Liu Biao naturally couldn't sit still.Just kidding, Lao Liu is a member of the Han clan after all, and he was defeated by Lu Bu again, and he has been beaten by Lu Bu so much that he has no strength to fight back. If he doesn't take advantage of it at this time, his brain will really break.Originally, Liu Biao had already ordered Huang Zutong Wenpin to lead an army of [-] troops to take a look at the Lujiang River from the left side of the river, but this time it happened that there was no need to worry about deploying troops.

And Sun Ce is also a very bachelor. Since he gave up attacking Qu'a in order to draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, he went directly up the river from Wujun to Danyang to recruit troops in order to deter Lujiang.After learning that Yuan Shu's [-] army was defeated by Lu Bu, and almost none of them were still capable of fighting, they also felt the opportunity. The four thousand soldiers brought by Lu Su's new vote also had the intention of crossing the river to crusade against the "old master".

On the land of Central South, because of Yuan Shu's stupid trick, it became lively.Yuan Shu fell overnight from a high-ranking member of the Yuan clan, who had four generations and three princes, to the status of a street rat.Even the identity that he has always been proud of was deprived of by his own nephew, and Yuan Tan was also fulfilled by the way. This made Yuan Shu, who had not lost his fighting spirit even after being besieged by the four forces in the southeast, north, south, and north, was in suspense. Spit out a mouthful of blood.

These days, we pay attention to the family, the country and the world. There is a family first and then a country.Fortunately, the founding of the country is not going well, and even the family is gone.In addition, there were rumors in the army that Lu Bu deliberately sent Yuan Tan, who was trapped in Linzi, to Hebei, in order to make friends with Yuan Shao's death. The co-author directly treats Yuan Shu as a dead person, how can Yuan Shu suffer from this?The heart energy that was originally exuberant because of proclaiming the emperor suddenly dropped, and the gap between the two was so great that Yuan Shu could not bear it.

Yuan Shu could only sneer at the fact that the various factions that were obviously at odds with each other before would unexpectedly take the same action to make trouble, and what the purpose was, Yuan Shu could only sneer, isn't it just for the jade seal of the country that is the foundation of his own country!Whether you want to use it to make meritorious service or have ulterior motives, righteousness?What are you talking about?
In connection with the days when the army was defeated for more than ten days, Yuan Shu understood a lot, and even sympathized with Sun Jian.Far away, it is said that Wang Mang killed himself because of it, and close, it is said that Sun Jian died because of it. Now it is Yuan Shu's turn?
"The virtuous live here! The virtuous live here! Ha! I am ordered by the heavens, but the heavens play me!" Yuan Shu leaned in the study of Lujiang's mansion, listening to his subordinates, and was named General Jinwuwei by Yuan Shu Li Feng reported that Lv Bu's army was mostly cavalry, and after ten months of long-distance pursuit, the offensive was exhausted, and they had reached a stalemate with Yuan Shu's defenders who stayed in Lujiang County City. This was good news, but immediately after what Li Feng said, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce's army showed signs of entering Lujiang County, but Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, showing a sad smile, and asked with a bitter face, "Wancheng was supported by Li Guo in the city before." Is the food and grass I’m waiting enough enough? How is the morale of the soldiers?”

"This..." The confidant General Ji Ling was entrusted by Yuan Shu with the important task of defending the city. Although Li Feng was valued by Yuan Shu, he couldn't understand Yuan Shu's thoughts after all. He wanted to tell the truth, but he didn't know how to speak in this precarious situation Talking to Yuan Shu, he was stopped by the question.In the midst of embarrassment, he suddenly saw a person who almost stumbled into the door, lying on the ground without saying a word, trembling all over, which surprised Yuan Shu and Li Feng.

"Shu Zhi? What happened? You're so panicked?" Speaking of which, after fleeing all the way back to Lujiang County, Yuan Shu really wanted to get angry with Chen Ji.If it wasn't for Chen Ji's "combination" from it, Yuan Shu really thought that after Sun Jian's death in battle with the Chuanguo Yuxi, there would be no news of it; Like a family, outside the city of Xiapi, he impatiently prayed to heaven and earth, hurriedly established a country, and finally suffered humiliation, and ended up in this field.But after all, Chen Ji usually pleases Yuan Shu the most, and Yuan Shu trusts him deeply. Even when he is almost defeated, Yuan Shu actually prefers to believe that Chen Ji is loyal to doing wrong things, and he has seen through the root cause of the surrounding forces' crusade against him. After the artifact, fearing that if he was "unlucky", there would still be a courtier who could send a message to his precious son, so he simply handed over the Chuanguo Yuxi to Chen Ji for safekeeping, and ordered him to turn back by another road.Seeing Chen Ji's appearance now, Yuan Shu's heart tightened immediately, and he asked in a hurried voice.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... that artifact..." Chen Ji lay prone on the ground, his head almost buried on the ground, his whole body was trembling, and it took him a long time to utter a few intermittent words.

"What happened to that artifact!?" Seeing that Chen Ji couldn't even utter a word, Yuan Shu guessed the reason why Chen Ji was so flustered no matter how stupid he was. Standing on his precarious body, he pointed at Chen Ji and asked with his beard and hair stretched.

"Your Majesty, that artifact...was stolen!" Seeing Yuan Shu's angry face turned pale, Chen Ji didn't dare to hide it anymore, and didn't wait for Yuan Shu to ask again. The subject accidentally saw the thief's back and, as well as his attire!"

"Huh... Tell me! Who is it! Since you know who is so bold, why don't you go after him?" Yuan Shu finally couldn't hold back, and let it go, almost leaning on the desk, staring at Chen Jiman. With a dusty face, I never felt that my confidant had such a disgusting face, and he wanted to kill Chen Ji, the sycophant who almost defeated Yuan Shu's last point of "persistence", but after all, he still thought about that As for the whereabouts of the artifact, he gasped and asked: "Who dares to steal our country! Get out of here! Tell me!"

"No!" Chen Ji tremblingly got up from the ground, but he no longer dared to look at Yuan Shu's distorted old face, and said in a voice that sounded like a mosquito: "I only saw the back of the thief, all dressed in a suit. Danyang soldiers in uniform, and...and..."

"Huh? And how? And how can you be sure that this is... what you did?" After hearing what Chen Ji said, Yuan Shu's furious face suddenly became suspicious, and his pupils gleaming with gloomy light stared straight at him. Staring at Chen Ji.

"Your Majesty, the man stole the artifact while I was changing clothes, but I was caught by the minister through the gap in the curtain. I didn't believe it was..., but I want to find out who it is for your majesty." How dare he be so bold as to frame a hero, but...but seeing that person intentionally detoured several times, and finally entered Xuzhou Mu's military camp, the servants would never dare It's a lie! Your Majesty!" Seeing that Yuan Shu still didn't believe it, Chen Ji just stared at him viciously, and knew that if he didn't tell the reason today, the crime of unfavorable guardianship alone would be enough for Yuan Shu to punish him. , kowtowed again and again, until blood oozes out, only to see Yuan Shu look away.

"You mean, it's a pottery merchant who stole the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom while you weren't paying attention?" Yuan Shu asked tentatively, his voice so cold that one couldn't feel a trace of warmth.

"Uh...yes!" Chen Ji knew that now that he had said his words, if he hesitated for a moment, it would be enough to make him irreparable, so his tone was firm.

"No wonder!" Yuan Shu didn't know what he was thinking of, but he just glanced coldly at Chen Ji and Li Feng, who was pretending not to hear anything, and said two words in a cold voice, but his hands turned white when pressed on the table However, it deeply betrayed Yuan Shu's current mood.Yuan Shu is at a loss!What the hell is going on?Could it be that our Yuan Gonglu is really not destined to be the emperor?No!surely not!If you want to blame, blame this group of people who are all pig-like characters!Back then, Cao Cao was dragged by Yuan Tan and was trapped in Yanzhou and could not move easily; Lu Bu was plotted by Tao Qian's backhand, Xiapi was in chaos and Xuzhou was unstable, and there was still a big situation in Qingzhou waiting for Lu Bu to drill, Liu Biao was just Is it a fake trick that only talks but doesn't practice? The good time, place and people are all taken up by him, Yuan Shu, how did it end up like this?
Pottery!Yuan Shu's mind was like an electric switch!In an instant, he figured out the culprit who led to his failure. The Da Zhong family empire had just been established, and before it showed its great power, it faced the culprit of premature death!Originally thought that he would be a traitor, Sun Ce, but he never expected that the potter would be the first to be "exposed" in the end!

No wonder the pottery merchant came to his door in person, willing to use half of Xuzhou as a bargaining chip, and using the Danyang elite soldiers left behind by Tao Qian as a bait, to persuade Yuan Shu to conquer Xuzhou. How much food and grass Qian left behind, but Zhijiao people are jealous, but they have never seen potters take them out.Co-authoring is just a cover, for some bad intentions.

It's no wonder that when Yuan Shu was beaten by Lu Bu and chased for nearly a thousand miles, even Yuan Shu's generals' morale was low, and they seemed to have lost their fighting spirit. Lv Bu, who was in charge, played a big role. If the potter hadn't ordered the Danyang soldiers to hold back Lv Bu's pursuit, Yuan Shu, who didn't have many cavalry, would have been captured alive long ago.Before, Yuan Shu planned to "reward" the pottery merchants, and at the worst, he would make a king of the opposite sex, and "keep" this book for Lu Bu, Cao Cao and other "veteran" princes to honor and reward the meritorious officials.Thinking about it now, it's no wonder that people say that there is nothing to be courteous, and it's either rape or robbery.If it wasn't for Chen Ji's "accidental" discovery, he, Yuan Shu, would still be kept in the dark!
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Li Feng saw that Yuan Shu's unconscious eyes had begun to notice him, and he didn't know if Yuan Shu had anything to tell him. Only now did Li Feng know that Ji Ling could be so favored by Yuan Shu, and with the help of a general, How difficult it is to be the number one official under Yuan Shu's command, he asked now, biting the bullet.

"What to do? What to do! What to do..." Yuan Shu kept opening and closing his palms, and slowly stood up, muttering.Now how to do?What can be done?Lv Bu's nearly 7000 troops besieged the city, and Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce also came to pick up dried fish and take advantage of it; now the newly recruited soldiers in the city have been scattered along the way, and the casualties are less than [-], and the veterans have less than [-] left, so they can only rely on pottery merchants There are more than [-] Danyang soldiers left under his command, which are almost equivalent to Tao's family soldiers, to guard the final foundation. Even if he "knows" that Tao Shang has impure intentions and wrong intentions, he can't move easily!
But just when Yuan Shu was hesitating, Li Feng was uneasy, and Chen Ji was uneasy, Ji Ling's characteristic loud voice was suddenly barged in by Mao, followed by the one who had urged Yuan Shu not to become emperor before Yuan Shu planned to proclaim himself emperor. The marching commander who wanted to do this was appointed by Yuan Shu as a minister, and Yan Xiang, the military counselor who was in charge of liaising with the Tao Shang army, had a bit of excitement on their faces, and they didn't bother to touch the room when they entered In the strange atmosphere inside, they looked at each other quite excitedly, clasped their fists to Yuan Shu with joy on his face, and said, "Your Majesty Lai is mighty, Lu Bu... has no reason to retreat!!!"
