The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168

I said, "General Han, where is Mr. Simpi?" Han Juzi listened frankly: "I've been locked up, and I'm about to be executed." I said nervously, "Where are the four wives and the two young masters?" A sad look appeared on his face: "The last general—the last general is not very clear—come, come, prepare to shoot arrows—"

On the other side of the river, two or three thousand Yuan Jun's crossbowmen lined up in a crouching position, tensed their bowstrings, and aimed towards this side.Gao Lan was furious: "Han Juzi, you don't want to live anymore, and you actually rebelled."

Han Juzi complained in his heart, rebelling is death, not rebelling is death, what can I do?

The battle of crossing the river was not easy to fight, even if it passed, there would be heavy casualties.

"General Han, if you let me go today, I won't treat you badly in the future." I vowed firmly.Han Juzi doesn't think so, it sounds nice!If you really turned around, can you let me, the traitor, go?It would be strange not to shred the corpse into thousands of pieces.Han Juzi shook his head: "I have obeyed the command of the lord, and I really dare not neglect my duties. If the second son wants to come, just kill him."

I sighed in my heart, breathed in and said, "Gao Lan, set up the camp first." Gao Lan thought he heard it wrong: "Go down to the camp, what should I do when the reinforcements arrive later?" Xu Shu whispered: "I agree with the Lord, There are still reinforcements from Jizhou, and there are only 2 troops in the city at most. Yuan Shang has to protect himself, he will not send reinforcements. We will wait until night to cross the river—” Han Juzi waited for the reinforcements on the left, and waited on the right Still not there, waited until the sun was westward, the night fell, the sky was full of stars, the candle shadows were red, and there was still no shadow of reinforcements. Bar.

In the middle of the night, Han Juzi still didn't sleep. He felt conflicted and painful, tossed and turned, and felt oppressed in his chest.What can I do?

He lay sideways on the military tent bed, and there would be a breeze blowing outside the tent from time to time. The summer wind mixed with the moisture of the river water became soft and moist, and it was very comfortable to blow it on his body and inhale it into his nose.There was another breeze blowing in, but he didn't care, his mind was full of the question of surrender!

At this moment, someone grabbed his neck from behind and stuffed a rag into his mouth, and a dagger exuding a pungent smell was pressed against his throat.He didn't dare to make a sound, and then his arms were trapped.Someone spoke in the dark; "My lord asked me to negotiate a deal with you. If you are willing, you can nod your head. If you don't, you can shake your head. I will immediately open you up and cut your intestines and stomach. Throw them all into the Huan water."

Han Juzi understood that this was sent by Yuan Xi, but what he didn't understand was how this man got in with such strict guards.He didn't know about the special forces, the whole Jizhou knew no more than ten people.Han Juzi's mouth was gagged and his throat was stuck with a dagger, unable to negotiate, he still froze his head.

The man said: "Tomorrow, I will sneak into Jizhou City. After I enter, I will kill your wife first, and then kill your two children. Then I will run away so that you can't find me. I will wait until you marry again." Ma'am, I'll come back and kill you. If you marry one, I'll kill the other. From now on, you, General Han, will only be able to visit brothels instead of marrying wives. If you make things difficult for the lord, I will toss you. Kill them all, and leave you to suffer alone. You also have a sister who married Zhao Hu, a wealthy Ximen family. I raped her and then killed her. I stripped her naked and hung her on the tower. Believe it or not, I have this ability?"

Although Han Juzi was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield for a long time, he was awed by the assassin's silent skill, his legs softened by the bloody scene he described, his whole body trembled, and he struggled violently but couldn't make a statement. In a hurry, he finally thought of someone who could make a statement. way, fell to the ground with a plop.

Pei Bao took off the rag that was covering his mouth, and put the knife on the back of his heart, the point of the knife almost cut his skin.Han Juzi knew that there was poison on the knife, so he didn't dare to shout.Asked, "What does my lord want me to do?"

"I want you to take us into town."

Han Juzi said: "That's impossible, I have no reason to go back to Jizhou." Pei Bao said: "You can send envoys back to ask for reinforcements, that's okay. Also, let the lord come here." Han Juzi sneered: " Aren't you very capable to enter the city, why do you want me to send you in?"

Pei Bao scolded: "You fucking idiot, it's true that I can enter Jizhou City, but I can't enter the General's Mansion. With your amulet, I can enter the General's Mansion without anyone noticing."

Han Ju suddenly understood: "So you are going to save the young master and the four wives—"

Han Juzi had no choice but to let me and Gao Lan come over, and then handed over a revised letter to Pei Bao to deliver the letter. I brought soldiers and horses and followed. In order not to expose the target, I waited for Pei Bao to leave for half an hour. just set off.Since Han Juzi reined in the precipice, let the past go.This is also a stopgap measure.

The army quietly touched the city of Jizhou, and only waited for Pei Bao to report that his wife and son were safe and sound, and then began to attack the city.But the news that Pei Bao sent back made everyone turn pale with shock, "I can't find it." They couldn't find anyone everywhere, and they didn't know where Yuan Shang hid them.

What can we do? It is impossible for the [-] army to hide their tracks for a long time. As soon as the sun comes out, it will be exposed.Pei Bao still has no news.

The defender of the city is Mi Zhu.

What a crime, what kind of cause there is what kind of effect.My one mistake brought me today's trouble.

When Mi Zhu saw me, he shouted loudly: "Yuan Xi, you have a fucking day today, bastard, you are dead. Your wife and children are in the master's hands, you will kill yourself immediately, I beg the master to let them go!" If it can be exchanged, I would like to

Xu Shu rode on the horse and said in a loud voice: "May I ask Mr. Yuan Shang to come out and answer?" Mi Zhu muttered to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers ran away, apparently to inform Yuan Shang.

I got off my horse, cupped my hands, and said in a sad voice: "In the past, Yuan Xi was sorry for you, but the crime was not as good as his wife and children. I hope that Mr. Mi will be magnanimous and give them back to me. Yuan Xi is very grateful."

Mi Zhu was wronged, his heart was dark, his whole person changed, he said with a smirk, "Don't even think about it, it's impossible for me to help you, the lord is coming soon, you can tell him yourself."

Someone behind Mi Zhu suddenly said: "Okay, you are indeed loyal. Come on, press up—"

Yuan Shang.

Behind Yuan Shang was a pair of menacing soldiers holding big knives. The big knives were shining brightly on the necks of Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, Mrs. Gan and the two children.

My heart sank suddenly, my heart was like a knife stirring, and my eyes were dark.

Yuan Shang grimaced, and yelled: "Yuan Xi, if you don't want to see your wife and children die, you should kill yourself right away, do you hear me?" Moist fog rose in front of my eyes: "Third brother, why are you doing this, we were originally family!"

"Go to hell, family, Yuan Xi, you took away the title that should belong to me, and I, Yuan Shang, will never let you go. I will count to three, if you don't commit suicide, I will kill your eldest wife first. Then there's the little wife and your kids—"

The two children, Yuan Rui and Yuan Zheng, cried out in fright, stretched out their little hands and called father, father, save me.There is infinite terror in the innocent eyes.

Zhen Mi cried out sadly: "Husband——"

"Wait, Yuan Shang, it's easy for you to let me die, okay, I'll die, please let my wife and children go! We are always brothers, can you promise me?" My hot tears kept rolling .

"Kneel down, kneel down." Yuan Shang was triumphant.

Cai Yan glared at Yuan Shang angrily: "Husband, don't kneel, you bastard, you will die badly."

"I kneel, I kneel." Yuan Shang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "One—two—" The three-foot-long broadsword in his hand, which shone like a figure, had already been raised above Zhen Mi's head.

"Wait" I stood up angrily.At that moment, I felt that I could die for Zhen Mi and my child.

If they are dead and I live, there will be infinite pain and suffering for the rest of my life.I pulled out the treasured sword from my waist and put it on my neck; "Third brother, you must remember what you promised me." Yuan Shang's eyes lit up: "You are going to die, I will not forget it, hurry up." Gao Lan shouted Come and snatch it.Xu Shu said sadly: "No, how can you give up a century-old foundation for the sake of women and children, my lord, think twice."

I smiled wryly. Frankly speaking, I don't have the qualities of Liu Bang and Liu Bei at all.I can't bear to abandon my dear wife and babbling children. I can abandon the throne, but I don't have the courage to watch their heads fall before my eyes.Die and die.

I closed my eyes and pushed Gao Lan away. "Help me babysit—"

"My lord—" Gao Lan and Xu Shu knelt down at my feet and wept bitterly.The voices of Zhen Mi, Mrs. Gan, and Cai Yan yelling for me to stop became more and more blurred.Only Yuan Shang's "three—" pierced my eardrum like a sharp pendant.

I was cruel, my hands tensed, and I thought, I can see Granny Meng again——

"Wait a minute," Yuan Shang let out a beast-like howl in the chaos on the tower.A sharp arrow pierced his right arm.Mi Zhu held the knife from behind and cut down the guards escorting the two children, then turned to kill the other two, and shouted: "Yuan Shang is plotting a rebellion, let him be killed, protect Madam—"

My mind was dizzy, and I said sadly: "Mr. Mi, I, Yuan Xi, owe you my whole life—"

Most of the soldiers on the tower stood by Mi Zhu's side, and there were only a few hundred soldiers protecting the injured Yuan Shang.The two gangs quickly fought together.During the melee, a figure flew from the city to the top of the city quickly.Standing in front of Zhen Mi and the others was Pei Bao.Pei Bao waved the big knife in his hand up and down, slashing and killing all the soldiers who pounced on him one by one. He used his arms, legs and back to take countless deadly knives for his wife and son, and his whole body was soaked in blood instantly.

The gate of the city was opened from the inside, and Gao Lan let out a howl like a beast, and rushed through the gate and entered the city.Seeing that the general situation was over, Yuan Shang chopped down several soldiers with his left hand, took advantage of the chaos and fled down the tower, changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and disappeared without a trace.

When I frantically ran to the top of the city, the rebellion had basically subsided.The two children were so frightened that they shrank and shivered into a ball, unable to even speak.When I helped Zhen Mi untie the rope, she just yelled: "Husband——" and passed out.

I didn't care about comforting my wife and children, I sent people to escort them back to the mansion, and turned around to search for Yuan Shang.Gao Lan personally led two thousand soldiers to guard outside his wife's bedroom, and killed every fly that entered without caring about it.

Yuan Shang could not be found anywhere.

I sighed, "I know he's there."

I came outside Yuan Shang's room and heard him arguing with a woman, thinking it must be his wife.Walking a few steps quickly and pushing open the door, the scene in front of me stunned me.The person in Yuan Shang's room turned out to be Diao Chan.

Diao Chan's clothes were messy and her hair was in a shaggy bun, and there were several scratched finger marks on her face. The clothes on her chest were torn, revealing her snow-white skin, as if she had been violated.When she saw me coming in, it was like seeing a savior, and she rushed to cry bitterly.

Yuan Shang sat cross-legged on the ground and sneered. He was short in front of him, with a glass of wine in his hand: "You won—but don't be complacent—" He picked up the wine and drank it.

I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth and said, "Third brother, we are brothers, why do you treat me like this, I am dead, you are really happy, so what if you become a general, you don't even have a relative by your side. "Don't worry about it—I—brother—I, second brother—be careful—" Yuan Shang's face suddenly turned livid, his neck was thicker than his thighs, his eyes, ears, and nostrils were all bleeding hot blood, and he looked extremely terrifying. Arrived, crushed the short table below him.He even committed suicide by taking poison.

Shen Rong led troops in from the outside; "Master, all the rebels have been killed, the third son—" Shen Rong saw Yuan Shang, whose limbs were limp and horribly paralyzed, on the ground.

Diao Chan was still sobbing in my arms.I handed her over to Shen Rong, walked up to Yuan Shang, squatted down, grabbed his neck and said sharply: "Get up, get up quickly, you will die like this, you will kill your sister-in-law, even your own nephew!" Don't let it go, Yuan Shang, why did you do this, what do you think?"

My eyes were blurred, and I yelled at Yuan Shang's corpse: "We are brothers, the third child, you just have to bear it—you bastard, why did you take poison, how can you make my mother suffer, you bastard—"

My two hands clenched his collar tightly, like two dead snakes, and with a bang, I tore off the clothes on his body, and a strange smell rushed to my face, almost suffocating me.The jug on the ground rolled around, and rolled to my feet as if directed by someone. The jug broke and the wine spilled all over the floor. The strong smell of alcohol mixed with the aroma attacked my nerves.wrong!This is not right!I roared in my heart, there is no poison in the wine!

Yuan Shang's sudden death must have been caused by highly poisonous substances such as crane crest red and peacock gall. These poisons, if mixed with wine and spilled on the ground, will definitely produce a burnt smell.

The jug of wine under his feet is fragrant and clear, full-bodied and mellow, and it is by no means poisonous wine.

Not poisoned wine!I picked up the jug and smelled it, then dipped a little bit with my fingers and put it in my mouth. It was pungent and pungent, but there was absolutely no smell of poison.Having practiced medicine for many years, I can be sure that there is no poison in alcohol.So--

Without even thinking about it, I picked up the wine glass on the ground.A faint layer of green floated in the bronze animal horn cup, green like will-o'-the-wisps and the eyes of ghosts.Although my chemistry is terrible, I also know that the wine glass had a chemical reaction with a certain drug, which caused a qualitative change in this glass of wine. This change invaded Yuan Shang's meridians and took his life!Yuan Shang wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, why didn't he just pour poison into the jug, and even smeared it on the wine glass?Could it be that someone silenced him?When he was dying, what did he keep calling, Second Brother, be careful.What exactly does that mean?
Diao Chan cried heart-rendingly, I sighed and stood up from the ground, and greeted Shen Rong: "Change the third son's clothes, find someone to dress him up, and prepare the coffin for the funeral."

Diao Chan threw herself into my arms and said, "General, if you come one step late, Diao Chan will be faceless in this life." The pores of my whole body shrank, my skin tightened for a while, and I shivered: "You——how could you be here? Here, is it?" Diao Chan's tender body trembled, and she said in a sad voice: "The concubine was captured by the third son, he, he intended to do something wrong to the concubine—" A consciousness flashed in my mind like lightning: " When did you come, do you know that the third son is going to take poison?" Diao Chan's eyes flashed panic: "I don't know—how would I know?"

"Then, did anyone else come in just now?"

Through the clothes, I clearly felt a huge shock in Diao Chan's chest, like a sudden thunder, and like a mental hammer.There was a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead: "No - it seems that there is - there is a maid who brought him wine -"

Grabbing her by the shoulders, she asked anxiously, "Is that girl?" Diao Chan shook her head and said, "I don't know, there are too many girls here, even the concubines can't tell the difference."

This is also understandable, there are indeed too many girls in the General's Mansion.It is very possible that it is impossible to tell who is right.

Yuan Shang may have poisoned only one of the glasses of wine, which also makes sense.But if I was more careful, I could find that in the corner next to the short table, there was a broken bronze wine glass——

Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, and Mrs. Gan were all frightened and couldn't recover for a few days.Yuan Rui and Yuan Zheng were still young, although they were scared to death at the time, but afterward, they gave some sweets and cakes, coaxed them, and gradually forgot, and accompanied by servants, they chased and played around the garden, as if nothing never happened.Especially Yuan Rui, his eyes not only did not look cowardly, but became lighter and sharper, a bit like the eyes of an eagle of prey.Yuan Rui said to me: "Father, my mother told me that the steel knife rests on the neck and you have to grit your teeth and hold it. If you knock out your teeth, swallow the blood. Swallow it in your stomach and don't cry. The father of the child is a hero. When I grow up, I want to be an upright man on the battlefield. What my mother said——" I was taken aback by this, Yuan Rui, who was three or four years old, obviously didn't understand the real intention of his mother's teaching him.The point is that Zhen Mi, this extraordinary mother, has already begun to teach her children how to become a leader.

I looked at Zhen Mi with great heartache, and tightly wrapped my arms around her slender waist, trying to melt her into my chest.Zhen Mi laughed out loud as if in a trance, laughing so hard that my scalp went numb, this is not her usual ladylike style, could it be that she was overly frightened?I spread my hands flat, and pressed my palms against her back from behind, wanting to feel her trembling.

Zhen Mi burst into tears, bit my shoulder, blood came from the bite, kept beating my chest and back, and then gave me two hard slaps. "Why should you kneel, why should you die, my husband—my heart hurts—I would rather die than see you bowing down to him. I can't even see that you died earlier than me—"

I sadly said: "What can I do! If your mother and child are dead, can I live? What kind of general, what kind of king and hegemony, are not as important as you. I can't stand it. He cuts you off, and kills me a hundred times." It also makes me sad, I can give up the glory and wealth, but I can't give up on you and the child."

Zhen Mi burst into tears: "You only know that you are sad, have you ever thought about me? When I saw you draw your knife and commit suicide, I just wanted to jump off the tower. I hated you so much, I hated you—" The circle turned behind me and hugged me back.The whole body suddenly fell down limply.He fainted again.

On the day of Yuan Shang's burial, his mother cried so hard that she died.I have no way to persuade, can only sigh silently.I said to Yuan Rui and Yuan Zheng, "Go, go and kowtow to the third uncle."

Yuan Zheng shouted in a childish voice: "He still wants to kill us, Zheng'er won't go." Yuan Rui also shook his head: "No."

I sternly said: "Presumptuous, no matter how you say, he is also your third uncle, a close relative, go, hurry up." Yuan Rui and Yuan Zheng didn't expect that their father, who was usually gentle and elegant, would turn into such a fierce look today, and he really wanted to eat people.The two little guys felt extremely wronged, remembering that their mother had never yelled at themselves.Then wept silently.

I did this on purpose, and I must let these two boys know what a close relative is, so as to prevent the Yuan family's cannibalistic family tradition from continuing to their generation.

The two boys cried into tears, and shouted aggrievedly: "Mother, mother." So the two mothers glared at me very dissatisfied, and then they did the political and ideological work of the children before letting the two sons go to school. Yuan Shang kowtowed to his soul.

After the funeral was over, in the afternoon, a gust of wind rose, covering the sky and covering the sky, like an invisible broom, sweeping all the mournful clouds of Jizhou City up into the sky, and sending them to the sky.
