Three Kingdoms King of the North

Yuan Jun and Gongsun Zan's army stopped the melee and returned to their base camps.

Zhang Fei came to Guan Yu's side, and said in a regretful tone: "Second brother, if I hadn't been trapped by those halberd soldiers just now, I would have come here to help you kill that Yan Liang. Now that he has left, I don't know yet. When will there be a chance to confront him again."

"Second brother, third brother," Liu Bei hurriedly came to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a double-strand sword in his hand, and asked with some concern, "I saw that Brother Bogui's face is not in harmony. Could it be that you said something to offend him?"

Guan Yu sneered and said, "Brother, when Yan Liang and I were in an inextricable fight, gold was suddenly called in the opponent's camp, and I asked Yan Liang to leave. Unexpectedly, General Gongsun actually annoyed me because of this matter."

"It turns out that's what happened." After Liu Bei figured out what was going on, he quickly comforted Guan Yu: "Second brother, it's just a misunderstanding. It will be fine when Brother Wei finds time to explain it to Brother Bogui. Let's go, let's Let's go back to camp!"

Chapter 0118

Under the escort of several confidants, Xin Ping and Xun Chen escaped from Jizhou in the chaos, and fled to Jieqiao non-stop, preparing to report to Yuan Shao.

When they fled thirty miles away from Jizhou, they slowed down their horses.Xin Ping asked Xun Chen curiously: "You Ruo, it was Ling's nephew Han Zhan who captured Jizhou. Why did you escape from Jizhou with us?"

Xun Chen smiled wryly, and asked back, "What about you, Zhongzhi? Didn't your younger brother Xin Pi betroth his daughter Xin Xianying to the youngest son of the Han family? You and the Han family should also be considered in-laws. Why did you escape from Jizhou?"

Xin Ping shook his head, and said bitterly: "At the beginning, the lord was able to take over Jizhou, and you and I contributed to the flames. Now that the Han family boy regains Jizhou, he will definitely kill all those who helped the lord in the past Regardless of the fact that you and I are related to him, if we stay in Jizhou, we probably won’t be able to escape.”

Xun Chen turned his head and glanced in the direction of Jizhou City, and urged Xin Ping with some guilt: "Zhongzhi, we must rush to Jieqiao to report to the Lord as soon as possible, so that he can take precautions early, lest my nephew steal the way."

A group of people rushed to the outside of Guangzong City. Seeing that the "Yuan" flag was still flying on the top of the city, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that Gongsun Zan hadn't hit here yet.Sima, the army guarding the city, knew Xun Chen and Xin Ping, and quickly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let everyone in.

Jun Sima went down from the tower and went to the gate to meet Yuan Shao's two counselors.Xun Chen cupped his hands at the other party, and said anxiously: "I have an urgent military situation, and I want to report it to the lord. Please send someone to guide us as soon as possible."

"Two gentlemen," Jun Sima quickly replied after hearing Xun Chen's words, "My lord is not in the city."

Jun Sima's words surprised the two of them, and Xun Chen asked nervously, "Where is the lord?"

"Yesterday, General Quyi defeated Gongsun Zan's cavalry, and also beheaded General Yan Gang." Jun Sima didn't know how the battle at Jieqiao was going, so he could only answer truthfully, "My lord led the army this morning, and fought against Quyi. The general rushed to Jieqiao together, joined General Yan Liang who was camping there, and prepared to fight Gongsun Zan there.”

"Do you know how the battle ahead is going?"

Army Sima nodded, and then said: "A scout once reported that General Quyi had killed Gongsun Zan and chased him down. Our army must have won another big victory today."

Hearing that our side had another big victory, Xun Chen and Xin Ping felt much more at ease.Because they were eager to report to Yuan Shao, they refused the army Sima's request to stay, went straight through the city, left the city through another gate, and rushed to report to Yuan Shaojie Bridge.

When they came to Yuan Jun's camp near Jieqiao, Yuan Jun had just withdrawn his troops and returned to the camp.Xun Chen, who entered the camp, was on the way to Yuan Shao's big tent, and saw that the faces of the soldiers in the camp were all sad, and he couldn't see any joy at all. He was a little surprised and said to Xin: "Zhongzhi, just now The Sima of the army said that our army may win a big victory, why do the expressions of our soldiers look more like they have lost the battle?"

"If you speak carefully," Xin Ping hurriedly stopped, "If this word reaches the Lord, it may not be good for you." After finishing speaking, he called a passerby and asked him about the situation of the battle. .After learning about the specific situation, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock. He said anxiously to Xun Chen, "General Qu Yi was killed by Gongsun Zan's subordinates, and my lord fought with Gongsun Zan invincibly."

Before the two could get close to Yuan Shao's big tent, they were stopped by one of Yuan Shao's personal soldiers: "The two gentlemen are not in Jizhou, what are you doing here at Jieqiao?"

Xun Chen hurriedly cupped his hands at the other party, and said politely: "We have an urgent military situation, and we want to report it to the lord, please lead the team to pass it on."

The team led them into the big tent and reported to Yuan Shao who was discussing the military situation with Fengji, Jushou, and Shenpei: "My lord, there are two counselors, Xun Chen and Xin Ping, who are outside the tent. They said that there is an urgent military situation. Report to the lord."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning: "Xun Chen and Xin Ping are going to Jieqiao at this time, what kind of emergency situation will there be?"

"Not good," Ju Shou slapped his leg when he heard the team leader's report, and shouted, "The two counselors are here now, could it be that Jizhou is lost?"

"Gong and don't talk nonsense." Hearing what Jushou said, Feng Ji said eccentrically: "Although there are only [-] soldiers guarding Jizhou, it is not so easy for the children of the Han family to seize the city. .”

What the two said made Yuan Shao even more disturbed, he quickly ordered the team to lead: "Let You Ruo and Zhong Zhi come in."

Without much effort, Xun Chen and Xin Ping hurried in from outside the tent.As soon as they saw Yuan Shao, the two hurried forward and knelt down, prostrating themselves to the ground, saying: "My lord, Jizhou is lost!"

"What, Jizhou is lost?" Hearing this, Yuan Shaoteng stood up suddenly, stared at the two men fiercely and asked, "How did you lose it?"

"The cavalry of the Han family pretended to be Zhang He's troops who came to reinforce them. General Chun Yuqiong didn't notice for a while, and they broke the city gate." Xin Ping didn't know that Zhang He had surrendered to Han Zhan, and he always thought it was a rush. The cavalrymen who entered the city were sent by Han Zhan to pretend to be Zhang Yun's subordinates, but he never expected that those cavalrymen were really Zhang Yun's subordinates. "Youruo and I took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the city, and came here to report to the lord."

"Where's my Xi'er?" Yuan Shao heard that Jizhou was lost, but the first thing Yuan Shao thought of was his second son Yuan Xi, "Has he ever escaped from the city?"

Fengji and Shenpei who were next to him heard that Jizhou had fallen, and they called out their luck in their hearts: "Fortunately, the master's family is still in Bohai, otherwise Mr. Shang would fall into the hands of the children of the Han family. If the second son can be killed by the children of the Han family If he falls, the chances of Mr. Shang succeeding the Lord will be even greater in the future."

When Xin Ping heard Yuan Shao's question, he lowered his head to his chest, and said with some guilt: "It must be trapped in the city."

Hearing that his second son failed to escape from the city of Jizhou, Yuan Shao suddenly became furious. He grabbed the arrow box on the table and threw it on the ground. There was a bang, and the box hit the ground. The arrows inside were scattered all over the place.He shouted loudly: "Where is Yan Liang?"

Yan Liang quickly stood up and bowed to salute: "The end is here!"

"Immediately raise the troops and return to Jizhou." Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "I want to fight against the little boy of the Han family."

"My lord, don't!" As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Feng Ji stood up and objected: "Our army is in a tie with Gongsun Zan's army today, but our troops are smaller than the opponent's. If Gongsun Zan finds out about returning to the army rashly, he will definitely wave his hand. If the army hides and kills, then our army will be in danger of being wiped out."

"Then what should we do?" Yuan Shao asked angrily, "Should we just let the children of the Han family occupy Jizhou?"

It is definitely not possible to return to Jizhou. With this amount of troops, it is a foolish dream to recapture Jizhou; but it seems that there is something wrong with staying at Jieqiao and continuing to confront Gongsun Zan. If they were all cut off, they would definitely be hunted down by Gongsun Zan if they retreated when the food ran out.

Just when the people in the tent were in a dilemma, the personal soldiers came in from the outside again and knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shao: "My lord, the second son is waiting outside the tent."

"I don't see." Yuan Shao, who was in a rage, didn't hear clearly who the guards said was who was outside the tent, so he said something casually.After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that his decision was a bit reckless, and quickly asked: "Who did you just say was waiting outside the tent?"

"Return to the lord," the soldier who was about to stand up, knelt down again and replied after hearing Yuan Shao's question, "Second Young Master is waiting outside the tent."

When Yuan Shao was about to order the team to let Yuan Xi in, the anxious Yuan Xi had already walked in from outside the tent.He quickly came in front of Yuan Shao, knelt down with a plop, "Son sees father!"

"Xi'er." Seeing his son kneeling in front of him safe and sound, Yuan Shao was overwhelmed with surprise. He quickly got up and went to help Yuan Xi up, and asked unexpectedly, "Aren't you trapped in Jizhou City? How did you escape?" of?"

"Respond to the father's words," Yuan Xi quickly replied, "The son was released by the son of the Han family. He asked the son to bring a word to the father."

"This ungrateful bastard," Yuan Shao gritted his teeth when he heard his son mention Han Zhan, "I appointed him as the county magistrate of Sheguo, but I didn't expect him to rebel against me. I don't know what he asked you to tell me ah?"

Yuan Xichao glanced at Feng Ji and Shen Pei who were next to him, and said in his heart: "You two flatterers, seeing that my younger brother is still loved by his father, you have repeatedly praised him in front of his father because he is smart and smart, and he will surely become a great event in the future. If If I don’t get rid of the two of you as soon as possible, will I have a good life when my younger brother becomes the master of Jizhou?”

Thinking of this, he said to Yuan Shao: "Master Han told me that he sent troops to Jizhou to avenge his father. As long as his father is willing to kill Fengji and let him avenge his father's killing, he will immediately lead his troops to withdraw from Jizhou City, return to Sheguo County to make his country-related orders."

"Kill Fengji?" After listening to Yuan Xi's words, Yuan Shao cast his eyes on Fengji who was standing aside, and asked coldly: "Does the child of the Han family really say that as long as I kill Fengji, he will retreat? "

"Yes, it's absolutely true." Yuan Xi replied affirmatively: "Mr. Han swears to heaven that as long as his father sends Fengji's head to Jizhou, he will immediately lead his troops to withdraw from Jizhou, and he will never break his promise."

"My lord, please forgive me!" Seeing Yuan Shao looking at him with unfriendly eyes, Feng Ji hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed on the ground: "The little boy of the Han family is very cunning, how can you trust his words, please be careful, my lord!" He kowtowed desperately.

Feng Ji was Yuan Shao's confidant and adviser, Yuan Shao was reluctant to kill him, seeing him kneeling on the ground pleading, he couldn't bear it even more, looked at the crowd and asked: "How do you deal with this matter?"

Chapter 0119 Countermeasures

Seeing Feng Ji who kept kowtowing on the ground, the judge who had a good relationship with him hurriedly came out and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, don't be fooled by the children of the Han family. He is trying to use this method to come Cut off the left and right arms of the lord."

Although Fengji saw that this was Han Zhan's strategy and wanted Yuan Shao to choose between Jizhou City and Fengji, but because of the many conflicts between him and Fengji, he didn't speak to persuade Yuan Shao, even in his heart. Thinking to himself: "If the lord really kills Fengji, then no one will slander the lord about himself and Tian Feng in the future."

Han Zhan's little trick was also seen through by Xin Ping.However, he and Guo Tu and Xin Pi, who are in Ren County at the moment, support the eldest son Yuan Tan, and support the younger son Yuan Shang's Fengji and Judgment, so naturally they will not speak well of him.

As for Xun Chen, he is only loyal to Yuan Shao, and has no relationship with Yuan Shao's three sons. Besides, Feng Ji has a good personal relationship with him, so he can't just watch his friend's head fall to the ground, so he stepped forward to help the trial and match Say good things for Fengji: "Master, don't see my nephew keep saying that as long as Yuantu's head is sent, he will return to Jizhou immediately. But if you really do this, he can also go back on his word, so Fengyuantu Do not kill."

Hearing that Xun Chen was pleading for him, Feng Ji, who was kowtowing, couldn't help but stop, and gave him a grateful glance.But at the same time, he resented Ju Shou and Xin Ping, who were silent beside him, and secretly said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Sooner or later, I will make you two pay the price for this matter."

Yuan Shaoben was an uninitiated person with soft ears. Hearing the persuasion from the crowd, he sighed and said, "Yuan Tu, get up. You are my right-hand man, how could I just kill you casually. "
