Chapter 133 The Eve of the Great War
tent.

A tent huddled together.

Yuan Ke was secretly excited, presumably the camp in front of him was Wen Chou's military camp.

It was almost evening, and he didn't intend to rush in rashly, so as not to disturb Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang and cause unnecessary trouble.He and Xu Ta were lying behind a raised grassy slope, waiting idly.As the sun set and the moon cast a soft light, Xu Tata beside him was already snoring faintly.

Yuan Ke felt it was funny in his heart, and began to admire him a little. He could fall asleep peacefully when he was so nervous, which showed that Xu must be a person who can do great things.He also closed his eyes to save some energy, and waited until two hours later, the lights in the tent gradually dimmed.

Time to act!
He lightly patted Xu Ta to wake him up, and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go explore the way first!"

After saying this, he jumped into the night and tiptoed towards Wen Chou's camp.

He went around to the fence on the right hand side of the main entrance, climbed up in threes and fives, and landed steadily on a somersault.The tents on both sides passed by him quickly, and his goal was very clear, going straight to the big tent in the middle of the camp!

The guard at the door of the tent squatted on the ground, hugged his knees and fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the arrival of the unexpected guest.This made Yuan Ke wonder whether he should be happy or sad.

Because the army under Wen Chou's command is the most effective among all Yuan's troops, and now it seems that vigilance and defense are very lax, which makes Yuan Ke feel a little worried.

He drew back the curtain and entered the tent.Although there were no lights in the tent, he didn't need a candle to see everything clearly at night.Following the strong smell of wine, his eyes fell on Wen Chou who was lying on top of the military case. There were at least a dozen overturned wine jars around him, which shows that he has not been drinking less during this period of time.

Yuan Ke was a little stunned. He didn't understand why a famous man who was strict with himself would suddenly degenerate into such a state, even leading a whole army to relax.

He walked up to Wen Chou, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and shouted, "Second brother, wake up!"

"Don't...leave me alone..." Wen Chou made a vague sleepy voice, "I'm going to find my elder brother... to find my third brother..."

It seems that at this time, he still misses his righteous brother and righteous brother in his heart. This moved Yuan Ke very much, so he leaned into his ear and said loudly: "Your elder brother was killed by Cao Cao!"

"What?" Wen Chou sat up as if he had been electrocuted, but the faint moonlight in front of him was completely blocked by Yuan Ke, which made him a little dazed for a while.

Yuan Ke silently lit the candle in front of him, and as the flame burst into light, Wen Chou's unshaven face brightened up.

"Fourth son, is that you?" Wen Chou saw Yuan Ke, most of the drunkenness on his body disappeared, "I'm not dreaming!"

Yuan Ke said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, why did the second brother get up when he saw outsiders?"

Wen Chou stood up excitedly, his lips trembling constantly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was stupid, so he just sighed and sat down on the ground.

"I just regret it." He said with an ugly face, "I regret that I didn't go to Xudu with you... Sigh!"

What he said made Yuan Ke even more puzzled. Yuan Ke sat across from him and asked puzzledly: "Second brother, didn't we all agree when we parted? Go to Cao Cao's base camp to do something, and the three of us brothers will work together to destroy Cao Cao. How...you...how did you become like this?"

"Oh, it can only be said that people are not as good as heaven!" Wen Chou let out a long breath, and opened his mouth slowly.

It turned out that pig-like teammates are more terrifying than god-like opponents.In fact, when it comes to resourcefulness, although Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Shen Pei are not the top players in the world, if they can perform normally, they are more than enough to deal with Cao Cao who has the upper hand.But the few of them and the Yuan brothers behind them all took it for granted that the victory was in their hands, and began to prepare early for the battle for the succession after the war, which was also reflected in the appointment of the generals to fight.

After Yan Liang left, the most prestigious general in Yuan Shao's army was Wen Chou, and even Wen Chou himself felt that he was the best candidate for the expedition.But the worst thing is that as far as the faction is concerned, he is neither with Yuan Tan nor with Yuan Shang, and his elder brother Yan Liang is even at odds with Yuan Shao's think tank. Therefore, under the verbal offensive of these counselors , his position was soon replaced by Zhang He and Gao Lan who voted for Yuan Shang.

Although Wen Chou was usually taciturn, he was an extremely strong person, how could he be insulted like this?With extreme grief and indignation in his heart, he gradually began to drank his sorrows, and even the morale of the army was greatly affected.

"Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Shen Pei are villains who don't even understand the simple truth that the party's struggle is harmful to the country. They really fail to succeed and fail!" Yuan Ke said through gritted teeth.

"However, since the third brother is back, I feel relieved!" Wen Chou said happily, "What the third brother said is always right. By the way, does Mr. Yuan know about your return?"

Yuan Ke shook his head in embarrassment: "Father doesn't know yet, I ran back quietly."

"It's okay if you don't know!" Wen Chou said, "Go see him early tomorrow morning!"

"This..." Yuan Ke said in embarrassment, "Second brother, to be honest, I came back this time for other reasons."

So, he told Wen Chou about Zhen Mi's relationship with him, as well as her current situation.

Hearing what he said, Wen Chou seemed to be more autistic, and said with a wry smile, "Third Brother, I'm not talking too much. Your elder brothers all have eyes on the top of their heads, but they are all mediocre when they really do things. You Both wise and brave, they are much better than them, but they are bad in a word of love, what do you want me to say? Oh, forget it, forget it... what do you want me to do?"

"Second brother still loves me." Yuan Ke said with a smile, "I want to ask you to help me and send me to Yecheng without anyone noticing."

"It's not difficult." Wen Chou said, "You just need to pretend to be my messenger and say that there is a letter from the fourth son to Mrs. Bu, and the defenders will let you in. Besides, your left eye will also change back If it looks normal, there will be no flaws."

"In this case, please give me the pass token, and I will start as soon as possible!" Yuan Ke said with a smile.

Wen Chou silently handed him the bronze medal, and asked, "Third brother, what are your plans after you rescue Miss Zhen's family?"

"I promised Mr. Tian that I would go back as soon as possible." Yuan Ke said firmly, "Our mission there has not been completed yet."

Wen Chou was silent for a few words, then suddenly asked: "Third brother, do you want to wait a few days before going back?"
