At this time, the day has begun to dim dawn, Guan Yu with his men carefully into the woods, although Guan Yu is eager to revenge, but does not mean that he is reckless. Judging from the situation of the official residence, Yuan Shaolin should have taken a lot of soldiers when he left. Guan Yu didn't want to revenge. Instead, he died in the enemy's hands.
"General! There seems to be something there A soldier suddenly called out.
Guan Yu walked quickly towards the direction that the soldier pointed out. It looked like a small mound from a distance, but when Guan Yu walked in, his face changed. What kind of mound is this? It's a pile of dead people!
One side of the soldiers a look, exclaimed: "this is not Yuan Shao side of the soldiers dressed up?" Bai Ma Yi has been fighting against Yuan Shao all the year round, but he is very familiar with his military dress up!
"What?" Guan Yu was surprised. If these people were Yuan Shao's own soldiers, what about Yuan Shao? Immediately, Guan Yu walked directly into the corpse heap. He picked up the corpse in front of him and threw it out. He almost hit the soldiers behind him. Soon, Guan Yu saw the headless corpse. Judging from this dress up, it should be Yuan Shao himself, but he can't rule out that he found a ghost to confuse himself.
At this time, a soldier behind Guan Yu suddenly said, "general Guan, if this man is really Yuan Shao, there should be an arrow wound in his left shoulder socket! Last year, when General Zhang and Yuan Shao fought each other, they were shot with an arrow by his subordinates. " The soldier also knew that Guan Yu was worried about whether he could determine his identity, so he made suggestions to Guan Yu.
As soon as Guan Yu's eyes lit up, he hurriedly picked up the headless corpse and directly pulled the clothes off the corpse. With the dim light, he could clearly see that there was indeed a scar on the right shoulder socket of the corpse. If you look at the corpse again, although both hands are calluses holding swords all the year round, they are delicate and tender. Obviously, they are well maintained. Guan Yu has been able to confirm that this man is Yuan Shao, but he can't figure out who else in Jizhou will kill Yuan Shao.
However, this is not the most important thing. Guan Yu immediately asked the soldiers around him to chase Zhang Fei back. Otherwise, with Zhang Fei's personality, he might directly pursue Zhongshan state.
The next thing was very simple. Guan Yu waited for Zhang Fei to come back in situ, and then the two generals took Yuan Shao's headless corpse back to Bohai city. In the Bohai City, Cao Ren, Xu you and others are relieved to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bring back Yuan Shao's body. Cao Ren is worried that Yuan Shao's life will affect his next step of plan, and Xu you and other people, after all, betray their masters and surrender Cao. Yuan Shao lives in the world, and their hearts will not be stable.
Because Yuan Shao's head was mysteriously missing, Cao Ren had no way to report to Cao Cao, so he made a decision to send Yuan Shao's body to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to worship Liu Bei. But Cao Ren is dragging Xu you to prepare the next step of the middle-aged scholar's plan for him.
Three days later, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bid farewell to Cao Ren outside the Bohai city.
"General Cao! At the end of the day, they will go to Zhuo county to pick up their sister-in-law, and they will go to Dongjun to see Cao Gong! " Zhang Fei hugged Cao Ren. After Guan Yu told him Gongsun Zan's sinister intentions, Zhang Fei would not go back to Gongsun Zan's account to work for him. However, Liu Bei's widow, Li, still stayed in Zhuo county. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of course wanted to take her back. And listen to Zhang Fei's tone, it is obvious that after receiving the Li family, he will come to Cao Cao. This undoubtedly makes Cao Ren very happy, of course, this is also in the middle-aged scholar's plan.
"General Zhang! General Guan! Be careful when you go to Zhuo County! Gongsun Zan would never let the two generals and Mrs. Liu leave so easily! " Cao Ren said with concern that in the previous arrangement, Cao Ren had given nearly half of his troops to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Although pay a little more, but if successful, it means Cao Cao's next to add a strong general.
"General Cao! Don't worry! My brothers regard the soldiers under Gongsun Zan's tent like grass roots. How can they stop them? " Kuang Yu's revenge for the death of Kuang Yu's family is not the only way to get rid of Liu's anger.
However, Cao Ren didn't pay attention to Guan Yu's arrogance. Guan Yu still knew the importance of the matter, especially the life of Liu Bei's widow. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clasped their fists at Cao Renyi and marched northward with the army.
After seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei off, the first thing Cao Ren did when he returned to the city was to summon Xu you and Feng Ji, because the next thing is up to them.
In the city of Zhongshan state, there is the official residence of the prefect.
Zhang Ying and Xin's brothers were sitting in the hall, discussing the recent rumors that Cao's army had captured Bohai city.
"Step on step!" A series of stepping on the ground sounded, and a general ran into the hall. It was Gao Lan, another general left behind in Zhongshan state.
"Gao Lan! What information have you got? " As soon as Zhang Ying saw Gao Lan, he immediately asked. Before Gao Lan had gone out of the city to seek information, but now he came back with a look of panic. Although Zhang Ying has not heard Gao Lan's answer, his heart has gradually fallen to the bottom.Sure enough, Gao Lan sat on his seat without saying anything. Everyone knew what the answer was.
Zhang Ying turned to Xin Ping, the eldest brother of the Xin family, and asked, "Mr. Xin Ping, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Xin Ping stroked his beard on his chin, bowed his head and pondered for a moment and said, "according to the current situation, if Yuan Gong had escaped from Bohai City, he should have been here long ago, but there has been no news so far. I can imagine that Yuan Gong is more or less unlucky." However, Xin Ping didn't call Yuan Shao the Lord again. Zhang Ying and Gao Lan didn't recognize this, but Xin Ping's younger brother Xinpi did. Xinpi looked at Xin Ping with strange eyes, but Xin Ping turned a blind eye.
Zhang Ying Dang even stood up and said to Xin Ping: "Mr Xin Ping! If the LORD had any accident, what would you say we still have 30000 brothers in the city? Kill Bohai Sea to avenge the Lord? "
Xin Ping shook his head slightly, and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "General Zhang! General Gao! How did Yuan Gong treat you? "
Suddenly, being asked by Xin Ping, Zhang Ying and Gao Lan were stunned, and Xinpi's expression became more and more strange. Zhang Ying frowned and said to Xin Ping, "Mr. Xin Ping, what do you mean by that?"
Xin Ping suddenly smiles and says, "nothing. Xin Ping just wants to consider the future for the two generals."
Gao Lan asked, "what's the way back?"
Xin Ping suddenly stood up and went outside the gate. After looking at the door, it seemed that there was no one there. He turned his head and said, "now that Yuan Gong's defeat is a foregone conclusion, both generals are good at fighting. Are you willing to bury yuan's family here?"
At this time, even Zhang Ying and Gao Lan heard the implication of Xin Ping, and they could not say that they had not touched this aspect of mind. At first, they only said a few good words for Tian Feng and Ju, so they were disgusted by Yuan Shao. After Tian Feng and Ju gave Cao, Yuan Shao was even more angry with them and sent them to Zhongshan state to defend the city. Moreover, he had a lot of suspicions about them and sent the Xin brothers to watch. Fortunately, the Xin brothers had a good personal relationship with Zhang Ying and Gao Lan. If they had changed the trial match and other people, they would have caught an unnecessary charge and asked Yuan Shao to punish them.
"Big brother!" When Xin Ping saw Zhang Ying and Gao Lan, they were somewhat moved. They just wanted to continue persuading. However, Xinpi frowned suddenly and said, "brother, is it appropriate for you to do this?"
Xin Ping was suddenly stunned. He knew his brother's temper and immediately understood the meaning of Xinpi. Xin Ping sighed and said, "George, it's not because elder brother wants to do this. If Yuan Gong was alive, I would not think of anything I said. But now Yuan Gong is no longer there. As the saying goes, how can we be loyal now that we have no master? "
Xinpi also knew that Xin's comment was reasonable, but it was not very happy for him to surrender to Cao Cao. Xin Ping sighed a little, turned his head and looked at Zhang Ying and Gao Lan and said, "I think the two generals understand what I mean. I don't know what they mean?"
Zhang Ying and Gao Lan look at each other. Gao Lan always follows Zhang Ying's lead, so it mainly depends on Zhang's attitude. Zhang Ying frowned and said, "since Mr. Xin Ping has made it so clear, we don't hide it. It's not impossible to surrender to Cao Cao. But after surrender, we are generals after all. I'm afraid we won't get the important position of Cao Cao? "
Xin Ping nodded his head and said, "the two generals are right. Although I heard that Cao Cao is good at employing people, his ears are hollow after all. As for the bearing of this Cao Cao, we have to see it before we can judge. "
All of a sudden, SimpI said, "big brother! In fact, it is not difficult! "
When Xin Ping heard that his brother suddenly opened his mouth again, he seemed to have figured it out. However, he knew that his brother's talent and wisdom were far superior to his elder brother. He was busy asking, "what's George's plan?"
"Now that Bohai city is broken, only Zhongshan County is left in Jizhou. It is impossible for Cao Cao to let go of Jizhou. If Cao Cao comes to attack with a large army in a few days, it can be seen that Cao Cao is narrow-minded and has no capacity for others, so he can not vote. If on the contrary, it can be seen that Cao Cao is in urgent need of talents, then the two generals can confidently turn to Cao Cao. With the talents of the two generals, Cao Cao will surely put them into important positions. " He said, with a confident face.
