Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 297
When Guo Tu returned to Yecheng, it was already midnight, and he thought that everything was settled successfully, so the delivery people went to rest.

When he was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by a sudden knock on the door, and he roared, "Who is it?"

"Sir, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!"

Guo Tu sat up abruptly, got off the bed in draped clothes, opened the door and saw that it was Ying Tao's personal soldier, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Sir, Han Chang... was killed by Yu Poison!"

"What?" Guo Tu was shocked and asked urgently, "Is the news true?"

"Sir, the villain is Han Chang's subordinate. He fled back to Yecheng overnight, and the others were killed by the bandits."

Guo Tu heard the anxious voice outside the door, looked around, and saw a soldier with blood on his face and torn clothes standing outside, looking very embarrassed.

Regardless of the cold under his feet, Guo Tu stepped out of the door and asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

The man took two steps forward, and told the story of Han Chang being killed by Yu Du, the thieves overturned the carriage, and chasing and killing them, Guo Tu was dumbfounded.

"This...what the hell is going on here?" Guo Tu supported the door frame, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Han Chang was killed, which means that it is very likely that Mr. Han will not survive. The food was also given, and Zhang Jiao's bones were also given away. In the end, he was not rescued. How should he return to Han Fu?

At this moment, a soldier ran in and said: "Sir, Li Taishou invites you to go to the government office to discuss matters."

Guo Tu's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly turned around and put on his clothes, he didn't bother to wash and wash, his beard was disheveled and he went straight to the government office, seeing Li Fu walking back and forth restlessly.

Seeing Guo Tu approaching quickly, he said: "Sir, for some reason, Yu Du suddenly led his troops down the mountain, captured Jiuhou overnight, burned, killed and looted, and is heading for Ye County."

"What a capricious villain!" Guo Tu was furious when he heard the words, trembling with anger, "I just delivered food yesterday, but today I came to attack the city. It's unreasonable not to keep my word!"

Li Fu said anxiously: "Jiuhou is only fifty miles away, if the bandit army comes to attack, what should I do?"

"Damn you thief!" Guo Tu pounded the table, took a deep breath to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Yu Du is sending troops, and I expect Bai Rao will not be far behind. Wei Commandery will be in great trouble, and no one but Yuan Gong can save him. also!"

Li Fu was surprised and said: "Wei County is in trouble, so I should ask the governor of Han for help, why should I ask Yuan Benchu?"

Guo Tu shook his head and sighed: "The giant deer has only [-] troops. How dare we divide our troops to rescue them? The rebel army is divided into two groups. Yu Du came to attack Yecheng, and Bai Rao must go to take Handan. Han Shi can divide his troops to rescue Handan. It's not easy."

"This..." Li Fu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked again: "Do you really want to ask Yuan Benchu ​​to help?"

Guo Tuyan said: "Duke Yuan is in Hebei, and his soldiers are excellent and brave. We will support him with food and grass for a year. At this time, please come and help us to fight the bandits. It is only natural. What's wrong?"

Li Fu hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's easy to invite God, but difficult to send him off. If Yuan Benchu ​​comes here and refuses to retreat, what should we do?"

Guo Tu had regained his composure at this time, Fu Xu sneered and said: "Prefect Li, in your opinion, if Duke Yuan is not invited to come, with our strength and the reinforcement of Julu, can we stop the [-] black bandits? ?”

"This..." Li Fu frowned and said, "If the governor of Han sends more troops, he will definitely be able to repel the bandits."

"But don't you forget...Yanjing Magazine!" Guo Tu narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Liu He must have secretly planned Jizhou and Youzhou's military strength, so how could he not guard against it?"

"What you said is true!" Li Fu suddenly came to his senses, clasped his fists and said, "The matter here is entirely up to the master."

Guo Tu smiled coldly, and said: "You immediately send someone to report to Yingtao, saying that the Heishan bandit broke his promise and invaded the county, and Bai Rao killed Mr. Han regardless of the agreement, please send troops to suppress the bandit immediately and avenge Mr. Han! "

"Obey!" Li Fu immediately sent a letter to Yingtao.

Guo Tu also ordered people to bring paper and pen, wrote a letter himself, and ordered his confidants to send it to Xiuwu. Yuan Shao had been stationed there for more than half a year and had been waiting for the opportunity to enter Jizhou. Now is the time to welcome him.

After the messenger left, Li Fu sent troops to defend Yecheng. Guo Tu turned to his room. Although his eyes were sore, he was completely sleepless and could not figure out what went wrong in this matter.

This time raising military rations and rescuing the hostages, I thought it was a complete success, but something went wrong. Not only did the people fail to be rescued, but they also annoyed the Black Mountain Army and caught Guo Tu by surprise.

Although the incident was unthinkable, after all Han Fu's eldest son died, he would be blamed upon hearing the bad news. Guo Tu knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he had no choice but to find another way to get out.

Originally, Yuan Shao had the intention of coveting Jizhou, and secretly communicated with him a lot. At this time, Liu He was going to attack Jizhou, and Han Fu would not be able to defend it sooner or later. Why not take this opportunity to invite Yuan Shaobing to Weijun and get a job offer? achievement.

When Yuan Shao came to Wei County, his first contribution was Guo Tu. As long as Yuan Shao reused Han Fu, Han Fu would not be afraid. After killing the Heishan army, and then persuaded Han Fu to surrender when Liu He sent troops, he would be Yuan Shao's leader in taking Jizhou The first hero.

Yuan Shao surpassed Han Fu in terms of strength, status, and reputation. Wouldn't following him be ten or a hundred times better than serving Han Fu?
This is also the way Guo Tu was forced to come up with on the spur of the moment. If not, if Han Fu sent people to escort him back to Yingtao, even if someone were to offend him, he would inevitably be imprisoned, and he would be wiped away from the great credit for being close to Yuan Shao. However, it is not taken by the wise!
Thinking of this, Guo Tu shook his head and murmured: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Brother Wen Jie, this is not my fault. Don't blame me!"

I think back when Han Fu was dispatched as the governor of Jizhou and returned to his hometown to receive his family, he and Xin Ping followed him to the north, preparing to fight vigorously and become famous all over the world.

But after arriving in Jizhou, I found that things are not simple. The situation in Jizhou is complicated. The local wealthy people are extremely repulsive to the two of them.

In addition, after getting along with Han Fu for a long time, he found that this former fellow student was only a vain name. Although he had some talents and learning, he was indecisive, timid and cautious in politics, and he was definitely not a person who would do great things. Han Fu was greatly disappointed.

This plan to join forces with the Black Mountain Army to intercept and kill Liu He was actually to prepare for Yuan Shao's entry into Jizhou. I didn't want Liu He to break out of the siege, the plan fell through, and instead he was notorious.

And since Han Fu took over Xun Yu years ago, he has paid more respect to him, which made Guo Tu feel dissatisfied. He wholeheartedly advises him. Could it be that he is not as good as a newcomer with a false name?

This time to rescue Han Fu's eldest son, Guo Tu and Xin Ping had planned for a long time. After rescuing the hostages and making great contributions, they can take the opportunity to let Han Fu make him a good-bye, replace Min Chun and suppress the Jizhou faction.

When he sits firmly in the position of chief counselor, and then recommends Xin Ping to be the governor, the two can control the situation in Jizhou, and then wait for the opportunity to welcome Yuan Shao into Jizhou, and the great cause of Hebei can be achieved.

Now that the plan was completely ruined before it was implemented, Guo Tu had no choice but to make a change on the fly. First, he took refuge in Yuan Shao, and then found a way to join forces with Xin Ping and others to help Yuan Shao take Jizhou.
