Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Not busy, not busy," Guo Tu and the Xin family brothers have a good personal relationship with Yuan Tan, but they have always been obedient to Yuan Shang. At this moment, when he heard Xin Ping asking whether he needed to report the matter, he stopped the other party in time , and said at the same time: "If we all know that the Jizhou army is about to commit crimes, wouldn't the spies under Young Master not know about it?"

After listening to Guo Tu's opinion, Xin Ping asked tentatively, "Gongze, do you mean to hide this matter and not report it to Young Master for the time being?"

"That's right, that's exactly how it is." Guo Tu said helplessly, "Since the lord was defeated in Jieqiao, there has been no news of his disappearance so far, and he may have been murdered by the young son of the Han family. We have been with the young master all the time." Even if we sincerely trust him, he may not trust us."

Just when Guo Tu planned to send another group of scouts to inquire about Zhang Ji.Unexpectedly, before Tan Ma set off, a soldier rushed in from the outside in a hurry, and the other party hurriedly said to Guo Tu: "Mr. Guo, good news, good news."

Hearing that there was good news, the three of them focused their eyes on the soldier who reported the news.Guo Tu couldn't wait to ask: "What is the good news, tell me quickly?"

The soldier said with a little emotion: "I will report to the three gentlemen, and report back after visiting the horses. Among the soldiers and horses who came to Nanpi, I saw the eldest son and the second son."

"What, the eldest son and the second son are still alive?" Knowing that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who had been thought dead for a long time, were actually still alive, and when they were coming towards Nanpi with a Jizhou army, they had always been loyal to Yuan Tan. Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others were moved to tears.

However, after a short period of excitement, the judge found many questions: "Why were the two sons sent back to Nanpi?"

"Don't you understand?" The taciturn Simpi suddenly said, "This is just Jizhou's plan to drive away wolves and tigers. Don't look at how the Yuan family brothers behave respectfully in front of outsiders, but disappear It’s still pretty close.”

The soldier waited for the three of them to calm down again, and then continued: "There is a messenger outside who is said to be from Jizhou, and sent the letter from the two sons. I wonder if some adults can read it?"

"A messenger sent by Jizhou?" The three of them immediately became excited when they heard what the soldier said. Guo Tu hurriedly ordered: "Please hurry up!"

After a while, the envoy sent by Zhao Yun followed the soldiers into the meeting hall.Guo Tu waited for the other party to knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted him, and asked, "Whose subordinate are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Return to Mr.," Tan Ma, who was the messenger, saw Guo Tu's excited face, guessed that these people were the people Yuan Tan entrusted him to find, and said politely: "Our army is escorting Mr. Yuan and the second son. The young master is coming to Nanpi, I hope you can send a troop to meet him."

"What, the two sons are really in the Jizhou army?" Although Guo Tu had already guessed that the Yuan brothers were still alive, he was still very excited when he heard the news. "Zhongzhi, George, you two talk about it, how should we deal with it?"

"The relationship between the two young masters has always been at odds with the young master. If they return to Nanpi, it means that they will meet with the young master." Simpi said cautiously: "Once the two sides fight, what will you do?" ?”

"The three of you and I are the former subordinates of General Yuan Tan. If the eldest son returns to Nanpi, we must stand by his side and help him replace the young son." Guo Tu said cautiously: "If you stand by and stand by, Once the eldest son fails, the Yuan family will be disadvantaged residents."

The army walked on the road for another two days, but the scouts sent to Nanpi to inquire about the news never came back.Yuan Tan, who was marching with the team, didn't see Tan Ma returning, but he still couldn't help running to ask Lu Kuang again and again: "General Lu, I wonder if the Tan Ma you sent has ever returned?"

Regarding his questions, Lu Kuang still answered every question at the beginning, but the other party asked too many times, and Lu Kuang became a little annoyed.Every time I saw him riding up from behind, I felt like a thorn in my back.

When Yuan Tan was still relatively knowledgeable, seeing Lu Kuang's growing indifference towards him, he guessed that he must have frequently inquired about Tanma's news, which annoyed Lu Kuang, so he wisely walked in the middle of the team with Yuan Xi, Avoid any contact with the Lu family brothers.

Besides, Yuan Shang in Nanpi City had already known that a Jizhou army was coming towards his city.At first he thought it was Han Zhan who personally led the troops to take revenge, but he was frightened into confusion.Fortunately, a loyal adviser tried to persuade him: "My lord, don't worry. Nanpi and Jizhou are separated by Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses. Even if they want to come here, it will not be easy. Now the rumors in the city, It is not ruled out that someone is spreading rumors and trying to cause panic in the city. In my opinion, we should send out scouts to find out whether there are really Jizhou soldiers and horses coming towards us."

Yuan Shang quickly agreed to the trial and assignment proposal, and then he sent several teams to investigate whether there were soldiers and horses from Jizhou heading south.

After Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others got the news that a troop was coming towards the south, the three of them, who had always been at odds with Yuan Shang, immediately sent scouts to investigate.Today is Tanma reporting the news to them. Since the matter is of great importance, the three of them gathered together to study countermeasures.

Guo Tu said to the two Xin Ping brothers: "According to the report from the detective horse, there is a Jizhou army of about [-] people coming along the official road to the south."

"I don't know why the children of the Han family want to take our Nanpi with only 3000 troops. It only needs to send [-] soldiers and horses to defeat them."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Simpi said worriedly: "Maybe these 3000 troops are just the vanguard, and maybe the Jizhou army is still behind."

"You two are worrying too much." Guo Tu shook his head and said to Xin Ping and his brothers, "In my opinion, the youngest son of the Han family must be busy with spring plowing at the moment, so there is no possibility of sending a large army to attack Nanpi. There are other plans."

"Another plot?" Hearing what Guo Tu said, Xin Ping asked curiously, "I don't know what they are planning?"

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I think we need to send out some scouts to find out."

"Gongze," Xin Ping looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Do you think we need to report this matter to you?"

"Not busy, not busy," Guo Tu and the Xin family brothers have a good personal relationship with Yuan Tan, but they have always been obedient to Yuan Shang. At this moment, when he heard Xin Ping asking whether he needed to report the matter, he stopped the other party in time , and said at the same time: "If we all know that the Jizhou army is about to commit crimes, wouldn't the spies under Young Master not know about it?"

Chapter 328

Yuan Shang sent his confidants to inquire about the news, and they rushed back to Nanpi that night.

When Yuan Shang saw his confidant come back, he immediately asked: "How is the situation? Is there a Jizhou army coming towards Nanpi?"

"Returning to your son," the confidant quickly replied, "There is indeed a Jizhou army coming to Nanpi along the official road. Based on their itinerary, they can arrive here in two days at most."

"How many are there?" Shen Pei waited for his confidant to finish speaking, and then asked: "Who is the general who leads the army?"

"It's the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. They lead about 3000 soldiers and horses."

After Shen Pei heard that the general who led the army was Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, he couldn't help sneering, and then said: "So it's these two rebel generals of the Yuan family." He turned to Yuan Shang and said, "Young master, don't worry, these two brothers The level is limited, let alone 3000 troops, even if they command 3 troops, it will not be easy to break through Nanpi."

After the judge finished speaking, seeing that his confidant was still standing there, he couldn't help asking curiously, "What else do you have to say?"

"Young Master Qi." The confidant's eyes looked at the judge, but he said to Yuan Shang: "The younger one is in the army, and I saw the figures of the eldest and second sons."

"What, big brother and second brother?" Yuan Shang heard this, and rushed to his confidant, grabbed his lapel, and asked nervously: "Didn't they die in the hands of the Jizhou army a long time ago, why did they appear here?" .Could it be that you misread it?"

"No, young master." The confidant replied in a panic: "At first I thought I was wrong, but after following the army for a certain distance, after careful observation for a long time, I found that it was really two young masters."

After Shen Pei waited for Yuan Shang to send his confidants away, he said, "Young master, it seems that my guess is correct, the two young masters are indeed in this army. The reason why the children of the Han family ordered Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang It is estimated that the reason for leading the troops is not only to send the two young masters to Nanpi, but also to help the eldest and second young masters to take Bohai County from you, young master."

Hearing what the examiner said, Yuan Shang couldn't help being a little flustered: "Then what should we do?"

After pondering for a long time, the judge said, "Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and Simpi in the city are all part of the eldest son's party. If they know that the eldest son is coming to Nanpi, they will definitely help him replace him."

"Then what should we do?" Yuan Shang knew that among his subordinates, there were not a few officials who were close to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. If these military officials stood on the side of his two elder brothers, Bohai County would soon change hands. up.But by his side, the only person who can be trusted is the judge, so he had to ask the other party for help: "Should we demote or kill all the officials who are close to the elder brother and the second brother?"
