Chapter 439： Assassin Biography

Yecheng, Yuan Shao summoned Zhao Long, Liu Bei and Tian Qi to discuss the matter. These princes are all princes attached to Yuan Shao, each with their own minds.

Yuan Shao of the fourth generation and the third master also has the ambition to compete in the Central Plains.

Chutian aggressively attacked Yuzhou as soon as he returned, which caused Yuan Shao's concern. On the suggestion of military commander Xu You, Yuan Shao summoned all the princes and subordinates to discuss the southward attack on Yanzhou.

In Xu You's view, this is the best time to attack Yanzhou.

Xu You is also a sharp-eyed counselor, not far from the top counselor, but he is enough for Yuan Shao.

At least now Xu You's approach has caused Chu Tian a lot of trouble.

Yuan Shao joined Zhao Long, Liu Bei, and Tian Qi to go south, Yanzhou was threatened, and Chutian’s offensive against Yuzhou would come to an abrupt end.

Yuan Shao approved Xu You's proposal, so he assembled all the forces in Jizhou and prepared to go south to fight against Chutian with Yuzhou and Jingzhou soldiers.

"The lord attacked Puyang, Zhao Long attacked the white horse, Xuande and Tianqi attacked the Gaotang, and the three soldiers crossed the river and divided the forces to advance, so that Chu Zimou could not look at each other from the beginning to the end. Lost!"

Xu You talked about the attack on Yanzhou at the banquet.

If Chu Tian was present, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. Xu You's three-way strategic plan is a great threat to Chutian. There are Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, Hulu Mingyue, Lanling King along the way of Yuan Shao.

Zhaolong along the way, Sui Dynasty commander Yang Su, Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui, etc.

Liu Bei and Tian Qi all the way, about Yu, Zhang Fei, Ashina Sheer, Feng Yi, Tian Dan, Sun Bin, etc.

Jizhou's 300,000 army went south, and Chutian had to fully defend in order to defend.

"What do the military teachers think?"

Liu Bei asked in a low voice to Chen Xi, the soldier next to him.

Chen Xi replied: "As Xu You said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack Yanzhou. If this opportunity is missed, I am afraid it will be difficult to get another chance to take Yanzhou."

Liu Bei asked Chen Xi again: "Do we need to follow Yuan Benchu's deployment?"

Zhang Fei, who was sitting next to Liu Bei, couldn't help it: "Big brother is still Youzhou Mu, not much different from Jizhou Mu, the leader of Yuan League. Why don't you listen to his orders! Big Brother wants to do it, then do it!"

"The third brother can't..."

Zhang Fei's two sentences immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yuan Shao's face is not so pretty.

Zhang Fei said impatiently: "If you want to fight, you will fight. Zhang Yide will accompany you. If you don't fight, you will not fight. I will go to bed and wash!"

Yuan Shao has seen Zhang Fei's fierceness in the battlefield of the national war, and he can't say that Zhang Fei is an ordinary archer: "Yingde is safe and not irritable. If you have no opinion, then we will conscript 300,000 Jizhou troops to attack Yanzhou. "

"The lord is not allowed."

Zhao Long did not agree with Yuan Shao's approach.

As the biggest force attached to Yuan Shao, Zhao Long possesses the strength to fight against Yuan Shao. He expresses his own opinions, and Tian Feng, Jushou, and even the trial partner, Guo Tu and others who are close to him are all involved. Side eyes.

Yuan Shaogang was hit by Zhang Fei, and now Zhao Long is in trouble again, holding back the upcoming anger, pretending to be calm: "Why?"

Zhao Long replied: "Bingzhou Muhu immediately defeated us after the Youzhou War. He was unwilling. Once Jizhou's 300,000 troops go south, he will definitely attack Jizhou. In this way, all Jizhou will be owned by Bingzhou Muhu."

Xu You had prepared for a long time: "I have sent a letter to Hu Ma in Bingzhou. In the letter, he stated his interests. He has promised that we will not attack Jizhou and our army can attack Yanzhou with confidence."

"Soldiers, trickery. In order to take Jizhou, Huma deliberately fulfilled me and waited south to attack Yanzhou. Once we assemble all our troops and go south, then we will be fooled."

"Huma surely doesn't know the truth of the death of lips and teeth. What benefit will Chu Zi seek to grow?"

"When Huma annexed Jizhou, he will sit on the three states of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, and he will have the ability to contend with Chu Zi. He will not miss this opportunity. The lord will go south with the strength of a state, and it is already a dead bone! "

Zhao Long and Xu You quarreled in front of everyone, and also involved Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao couldn't help but furious, drew out his sword, and pointed at Zhao Long: "I, the third grandfather of the fourth Yuan family, are there bones in the grave! I dare not kill you!?"

Zhao Long's face was pale.

Han Qinhu and Shi Wansui hurriedly got up, holding weapons to protect Zhao Long.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou protect Yuan Shao.

Everyone present was disturbed by the sudden turn of events, and they all dissuaded them.

Zhao Longgong shocked the Lord, everyone had already faintly felt that the conflict between the two sides would erupt sooner or later. And now, it's on the verge of explosion.

Yuan Shao has murderous intentions towards Zhao Long, just like he killed Ju Yi in history.

It's just that Zhao Long, who knows the trend of the end of the Han Dynasty and has a group of valiant generals, is not so provoking like Ju Yi, he is qualified to challenge Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei wanted to get up and persuade him to fight, but was held down by the military strategist Chen Xi: "Lord, let's see how they solve this matter. Maybe it's our chance."

Guan Yu stroked his soft long beard, and whispered to Liu Bei: "The military teacher said it is very true. From the second brother's view, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Zhang Fei said: "My, too!"

Liu Bei listened to the advice of several cronies before he got up.

Over there, the strategists in Jizhou have gone up to discourage the two arrogant men, and Jushou hurriedly finished the battle: "General Zhao Long, the lord is only in anger for a while, not intentionally offending, please do not misunderstand the army."

The trial partner Yuan Shao said: "Please take back the murder weapon. The weapon can be against the enemy, how can it be against the friend?"

Yuan Shao realized that he was really impulsive, so he put away his weapons. But he didn't let go of the arrogance of the fourth generation and the third public, and took the initiative to show his softness to Zhao Long.

Zhao Long was discouraged: "I, Zhao Long, lay down the current territory for the lord, and I considered it for the lord, but was treated like this. It is really unfair!"

After Zhao Long finished speaking, he threw his sword on the ground, and angrily led Han Qinhu and Shi Wansui away.

Everyone present, except for Liu Bei and Tian Qi who were on the sidelines, the other generals and counselors from Yuan Shao's camp could not help but feel chilled.

Judging from the reasons for the outbreak of this conflict, Yuan Shao's actions did hurt many generals and counselors.

Zhao Long was the biggest hero who helped Yuan Shao win the Battle of the Giant Deer and the Battle of Youzhou, but he was pointed at by his master sword. So one day, Yuan Shao ascends to a higher position, how will he deal with other heroes?

Even Xu You couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't know what to do.

Yuan Shao took back the sword, he couldn't help but regret his actions.

Everyone who stayed at the banquet swallowed unintentionally, so the banquet ended hurriedly.

Sun Bin, who has been observing this conflict, his eyes flickering, thoughtful.

"Military, is there something wrong?"

Tian Qi found that Sun Bin's expression was a little abnormal, as if he had discovered something.

Sun Bin nodded and shook his head: "It's probably my illusion."

Another big event happened at night in Yecheng.

In the night, an assassin attacked the house where Zhao Long was staying. Shi Wansui and Han Qinhu killed several assassins, but Zhao Long was stabbed!

Panicked, Zhao Long led people to burn the west gate of Yecheng City, and fled back to Handan, Zhao State, where he was running.

This incident caused an uproar in Yecheng.

After Yuan Shao and Zhao Long had a dispute, Zhao Long was assassinated that night and was almost killed!

The assassin who died on the spot was a soldier in Yuan Shao's army, and there was also a general, Yuan Shao's nephew, a senior officer!

All the counselors and generals of Yuan Shao's camp are fidgeting.

All signs point to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent people to attack Zhao Long and stabbed Zhao Long. Zhao Long was frightened and fled Yecheng overnight.

Liu Bei and Tian Qi were deeply disturbed by this incident. They suspected that Yuan Shao intended to eradicate the princes who depended on him, so they also left without saying goodbye and returned to the Bohai Sea and the plain.

Yuan Shao's reputation was defeated.

"The sly rabbit is dead, the minions cook; the birds are dead, the bow is hidden..."

"The enemy's country is broken, and the minister is killed. Yuan Hao, did we misunderstand the wrong person?"

"I thought that Yuan Benchu ​​was the third son of the fourth generation, but he would report to him and kill the hero. Although Zhao Longgong was a high Zhenzhu... but if he was killed that night, the end would be too bleak."

"Maybe Yuan Benchu ​​is just a fame."

"Where shall we go?"

Tian Feng and Ju give a pair.

Such a thing happened inside Jizhou, they have no time to think about how to attack Yanzhou.

Not only Tian Feng and Jushou lost their confidence, even Xu You, Jury, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Zhang Xi, Zhu Ling and others were shaken. What was even more deadly was the loyalty of Hulu Mingyue and Lanling King who turned to Yuan Shao. The degree is declining.

Handan City, Zhao Long fled back to the territory under his control, and he was treated by a doctor immediately.

The soldiers throughout Handan heard that Yuan Shao pointed at Zhao Long with a sword at the banquet, and sent an assassin to assassinate Zhao Long. They were furious and took the initiative to come to the lord’s mansion to request orders and ask for troops to attack Yuan Shao!

Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the lord’s mansion. They were not dissatisfied with Zhao Long, but dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, asking Zhao Long to replace Yuan Shao!

This is the same as Chen Qiao's mutiny and the addition of Huangpao!

"Let me go in and persuade the lord."

Zhao Long's first commander and first counselor Yang Su came to see the illness, and all the soldiers in Handan made way for Yang Su.

"The lord is willing to be injured for the great cause, and he will finally admire him."

Yang Su has an appreciation for Zhao Long.

"This sword almost killed me. I am worthy of being one of the four great assassins of the Warring States Period. Now I have already risen in name to fight against Yuan Shao."

Zhao Long's original horrified eyes disappeared, replaced by sharp eyes.

Yang Su said: "Yuan Shao's explanation will be of no avail. Liu Bei and Tian Qi left without saying goodbye, and the time is ripe for everyone in Jizhou to renounce Yuan Shao's morality. As long as the Lord prospers the righteous soldiers and cuts down on the righteous soldiers, there is no more than a month. Jizhou can change hands."

"We can't take it lightly. Liu Bei and Tian Qi have no excuse to intervene in the dispute between me and Yuan Shao. Before they can find an excuse, we must break through the fortified city of Ye as soon as possible. There is also Huma in Bingzhou. He can dispatch troops very quickly. Before he can respond... Fortunately, I have made arrangements. Although Huma has Li Mu and Lian Po, he is not resourceful enough to worry about."

"After replacing Yuan Shao, what should I do with it?"

"House arrest is sufficient to show my tolerance."

"The lord is brilliant."

"I still need you to fight for me to fight for the Central Plains. If Chu Zimou can't intervene in Hebei, I will replace Yuan Shao as soon as possible, otherwise I will go south to attack Yanzhou. This time, Chu Zimou will be cheaper."

The next day, surrounded by soldiers in Handan, the injured Zhao Long announced Yuan Shao's crimes, accused Yuan Shao of attacking Luoyang Palace, forced retreat from Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and Han Fu's death due to unknown causes, assassination of heroes, etc., and revolted against Yuan Shao!

The fifty thousand army marched quickly to Yecheng, and it was like a broken bamboo!

Zhao Long stood on the moral commanding heights, and Yuan Shao, who was incapable of defending himself, appeared helpless. When his army met Zhao Long’s righteous division, they surrendered without a fight. Generals Ju Yi and Zhang Yun considered that they might be due to their high merits. On the day when the master was killed, he directly voted for Zhao Long.

Zhao Long’s army rapidly expanded from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand and one hundred fifty thousand, and the soldiers came to Yecheng!

Liu Bei heard that Zhao Long started up to replace Yuan Shao. This was originally his opportunity, but Liu Bei could not intervene.

Zhao Long is now the righteous side in the eyes of everyone in Jizhou. If Liu Bei supports Yuan Shao, his reputation will also plummet. Supporting Zhao Long is just icing on the cake, and the benefits to Liu Bei are limited.

Chen Xi heard of this, and could only sigh: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to make such a faint move."

He knew how serious the consequences of assassinating a famous celebrity would be.

In history, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, causing Chen Gong and a group of Yanzhou family to betrayed and almost homeless.

And now, Zhao Long has been in Jizhou for several years, and he has made friends with Tian Feng, Jushou, and mates, and has gained countless military merits. He is like a celebrity in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao drew his sword at the banquet, and sent someone to assassinate Zhao Long The commander was still his nephew.

Yuan Shao can no longer explain.

"Military teacher, Zhao Long wants to replace Yuan Shao, what shall we do?"

Liu Bei hesitated.

Help Yuan Shao, fall into injustice, help Zhao Long, and become a vassal of Zhao Long. Eliminating Zhao Long and Yuan Shao at the same time not only fell into injustice, but also might not have defeated Zhao Long, who had already annexed many of Yuan Shao's tribes.

It can be said that the situation is too favorable for Zhao Long. Benevolence and justice became the biggest obstacle to Liu Bei's decision.

"difficult……"

Chen Xi has nothing to do.

Now that Liu Bei is off, he cannot recruit Yuan Shao's tribe.

Under Yuan Shao in Jizhou, the most influential person is Zhao Long. Zhao Long has been active in Yuan Shao's forces for several years, and Liu Bei is just a vassal who has just turned to Yuan Shao not long ago. The interpersonal relationship has not been established yet, and not many people are convinced.

Plain, the fortune-telling Sun Bin learned that Zhao Long's rebels were attacking Yuan Shao, thinking that the illusion that day would come true, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Even if this is possible, he can't show evidence.

Furthermore, Sun Bin also knew that if Tian Qi was off the court, it would be thankless.

The only people who have the ability to intervene in the Jizhou dispute are Huma in Bingzhou and Chutian in Yanzhou.

"Immediately mobilize troops and horses to avenge Youzhou!"

Huma learned that Zhao Long sent all the troops of Handan to crusade Yuan Shao, foreseeing the time to annex Jizhou.

Judging by the sturdiness of Yecheng, Huma judged that Zhao Long could not fall within a few months.

Li Mu, Lian Po, Zhou Dewei, Zhao Kuo, generals, assembled two hundred thousand soldiers and horses to march towards Jizhou!
