Among the three Yuan brothers, Yuan Tan, the eldest, has basically been left idle due to Qingzhou's defeat.Their lord, Yuan Xi, originally placed high hopes on them, but he did not expect that the entire army in Youzhou would be wiped out, and the voice of the people would be completely destroyed, so there was absolutely no room for recovery.Among the three brothers, only Yuan Shang was left to inherit the foundation.

Now that the third son is here, he still doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"Forget it, just come, can we still hide?" Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly.He hurriedly ordered the cook to buy food and drinks for Yuan Shang, and then he took Zhou Tong and others to greet him at the gate of the city.

Outside the city gate, Yuan Shang came here with a large motorcade.

Before he set off, he asked his mother specifically, and only then did he get a lot of supplies. In the name of rewarding the three armies, even if Fang Xuanling deliberately made things difficult for him, there was nothing he could do about it.

As soon as the convoy came to a complete stop, Yuan Shang walked down quickly, and came to Fang Xuanling in two steps at a time. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency must be Mr. Fang Xuanling!"

With a smile on his face, Fang Xuanling saluted him respectfully and said, "I don't know that the third young master is here today, but I couldn't meet him far away. I hope you will forgive me."

Yuan Shao talked and laughed happily on the surface, but deep down he was gnashing his teeth.The news that he came to reward the army spread out a few days ago, which made it clear that they didn't give him face.

"It's okay, it's okay, you are the pillars of Youzhou, and you are really busy with official duties, understandable, understandable!"

"My son is exhausted, please enter the city early!" Fang Xuanling urged Yuan Shang to enter the city quickly in order to prevent the Cao army outside the city from getting the news and quickly lead troops to attack, so as to close the city gate.

Yuan Shang didn't say anything, and entered the city under Fang Xuanling's guidance.

Compared with the outside of the city, the situation inside the city is not bad.This place is far away from the battle circle in Youzhou, the flames of war have not reached here, and the lives of the people have not been greatly affected.

Yuan Shang invited Fang Xuanling to get on the car together, but unfortunately Fang Xuanling didn't buy into him and continued to walk. On the surface, Yuan Shang looked tepid, but in fact, deep in his heart, he was already turbulent and cursing endlessly.In desperation, he could only walk into the city with Fang Xuanling.

Looking around, he said indifferently: "As expected, the reputation is well-deserved. Mr. Fang and the generals here will definitely be able to withstand the offensive of the Cao bandits. As long as the army of the Great Sima arrives, we will be able to destroy the dead and regain the lost ground in one go."

"Li Ji is not an ordinary person. At present, he has three generals under his command, Zhang Liao, Yue Fei, and Chen Qingzhi, and Zhao Yun, Yang Zaixing, Wang Yanzhang, Wu Tianxi and other capable generals. enemy, let alone today." Fang Xuanling patiently explained to Yuan Shang.

An army of [-], and so many talented generals, is probably unheard of in ancient and modern times.

Whether he can hold on, Fang Xuanling has no confidence at all.

"If Cao Jun breaks the city at this time, we don't know what will happen." Yuan Shang made the final test.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, and then said decisively: "For the sake of the second son, we must fight to the end. I, Fang Xuanling, swear that I will let Cao thief get out of Youzhou." With a little excitement.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang also understood, it seems that the way is different and not conspiring with each other.

"Sir, you have worked so hard for my Yuan family, you deserve my worship." Yuan Shang bowed to the ground towards Fang Xuanling, his face full of piety.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly supported Yuan Shang: "You can't do it, absolutely you can't do it! The second son and the third son are siblings, and they can be regarded as my lord. My lord salutes me, this is just for fun!"

Zhou Tong on the side smiled and said, "Third Young Master, you have had a rough journey. Mr. has already ordered someone to fail the banquet, and I specially take care of you."

"Haha, since that's the case, then Xianfu will beg for mercy." Yuan Shang was extremely pleased and readily agreed.

Chapter 497

The setting sun is like blood, and the red sun hangs down.

The western sky was full of sunset glow, which was as bright red as rouge, which was shocking to watch. It was rumored that this was an ominous omen.

Yuan Shang, who already knew that Fang Xuanling had no intention of surrendering at all, let go of his hands and feet, intending to send them all to the west in one go.

On the way, Yuan Shang also asked about the situation of the general in Youzhou, turned around and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Jin Tai come to the banquet?"

After the deaths of Luo Song, Luo Cheng, Lin Chong, Luo Yi and others, the Youzhou Army, which was originally a gathering of stars, now has only a few people.In terms of the most loyal under Yuan Xi's command, Jintai might not be the number one, but this time, since he is ready to kill the grass and roots, he must not let anyone slip through the net.

"I'm afraid that the generals will make mistakes after drinking too much. Although Cao's army has not yet launched an attack on the city, we have to beware of their night attack. If so, I'm afraid they will be killed by surprise. Therefore, I sent Jintai to lead the soldiers to stand on top of the city gate. Step up your patrols to avoid accidents caused by drinking." Fang Xuanling then fully informed Yuan Shang of the situation.

Yuan Shang smiled brightly and said: "Mr. is really meticulous, I admire you. However, Shang is not a person who is addicted to alcohol. Tonight, everyone will meet for the first time to have a few drinks and discuss strategies to defeat the enemy. We will toast together in the big tent." It is rude to ask General Jin to watch the night outside. General Jintai is the oldest general in our army, and he must be given enough respect. You can send a general to do the defense of the city for a while, and wait for the banquet It's over, and it won't be too late for General Jintai to go."

Fang Xuanling couldn't resist, so he could only send a general to replace Jin Tai, and brought him back.

As soon as the general left, Yuan Shang looked at the crowd in front of him with a wine glass in his hand and said, "It's not too late afterwards, it's not too late for me to drink while I wait for General Jintai."

Fang Xuanling originally wanted to refuse, but Yuan Shang had already come to him with a jug, and said sincerely: "During this period of time, I have often learned from the painful experience, only to realize that I was really stupid in the past, and kept giving my second brother Stumbling, this is what Cao thief can take advantage of. Now, I am correcting my past mistakes, and I hope that you can help each other in the future to protect the northern border."

Fang Xuanling said hastily: "I don't know how to drink, or just forget about this drink!"

Yuan Shang insisted on pouring the wine, so he poured it back and said: "This glass of wine represents my repentance. If you refuse to drink it, you will not forgive me for my previous recklessness. I... I feel uneasy, so It's reasonable, I must fill this glass of wine for you myself!"

Fang Xuanling couldn't hold back Yuan Shang, but he also knew that Yuan Xi might have no hope.

The reason why these people are still sticking to it is entirely for their own selfishness.

If you want to stick to the city, you must have the support of Yecheng.Thinking of this, he still accepted Yuan Shang's kindness.

"Since the third son has such a heart, you can drink it, sir!" Zhou Tong next to him stroked his beard and smiled. Although Yuan Shang was his lord's enemy, after meeting him for the first time, he was quite satisfied with him.

Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly and said: "Since it is the kindness of the third son, I will not refuse. I hope that in the future we can fight against the enemy together, advance and retreat together, and deal with Cao thief together."

Fang Xuanling drank his glass, and Yuan Shang came to Zhou Tong with another glass of wine and said, "Senior Zhou shed blood for our Yuan family, and two apprentices also shed blood for our Yuan family. It's a pity that the younger generation didn't know this earlier. Otherwise, the two heroes will definitely not be decapitated like this. This glass of wine represents the gratitude of the junior, and senior Zhou must not refuse."

Zhou Tong is already over 50 years old, with white hair growing on his head. Hearing what Yuan Shang said, his eyes were a little red, and when he thought of his two apprentices, he felt sad again. Without refusing, he directly cupped his hands and said: "Since the third son thinks highly of me, I will not refute. From today onwards, I will do my best with Senior Brother Jintai to subdue Yuan Shi and strive for a comeback."

Yuan Shang filled up the wine for Lu Junyi next to him and said: "I heard that Lu Junyi in Hebei is the best stick in the world, but unfortunately I have never seen it. Seeing it today is really heroic. Such a hero deserves a glass."

Lu Junyi also took a drink unambiguously, wiped the corner of his mouth and his face was full of excitement.

Yuan Shang filled up the wine for several people respectively, and came to the center with the wine jug and said, "Before my father came, he told me earnestly that he must thank all the heroes. If not, you don't know that the land of Youzhou What a mess. In the past, Yuan Shang was young and ignorant, but now I hope you heroes can teach us more."

Yuan Shang is such a Chen Ken, even those who have experienced the battlefield can't see anything wrong.

In the past, Yuan Xi said many times that Yuan Shang is like a poisonous snake. On the surface he looks extremely loyal, but as long as you relax a little, he will bite you with his venomous fangs and kill you with one bite.

At this moment, Jin Tai strode in at the door.

He had just returned from patrolling the city wall, but he didn't hear the previous conversation, but he was a little surprised to see everyone so happy.

Since the introduction of the Xianbei dog thief to the south, everyone has been a little disappointed, and it has been a long time since they have been so happy.

"Come on, brother, let me introduce you. This is Yuan Da Sima's third son. He is here to reward us on behalf of Da Sima."

Jin Tai is not as easy to fool as Zhou Tong and the others. He looked Yuan Shang up and down, and then looked at the surrounding situation, and said lightly: "I am a rough person, and I have always been straightforward. If you have anything to say, since the third son It’s such a pleasure to offer you a toast.”

Yuan Shang came to the front of Jintai with the jug in his hand.

He had also heard about Jin Tai, so it can be said that the reason why Zhou Tong and Lu Junyi are sitting here in a grand manner is entirely because of Jin Tai.

This person is very utilitarian. He followed Gongsun Kang at the beginning, and then followed his stupid brother Yuan Xi, but he was only loyal to him on the surface, but he didn't really have a heart-to-heart relationship.

Now, if we cut the weeds and don't get rid of the roots, there will inevitably be some troubles in the future.

"Mr. Jin Tai is a master of the generation. He has been famous for a long time, but it is a pity that he did not meet him. Today, he is indeed a hero."

Jin Tai looked at Yuan Shang and said with a smile: "You can't drink too much, so let's forget about this drink!"
