I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237 He chases, he escapes, he cannot escape with wings

"My lord, Bandit Dong led three thousand elite troops to fight in front of the city!"

In the afternoon of the next day, the messenger hurried into the lobby, and before he had time to salute, he had already shouted out the news in his mouth.

Yuan Shu heard the words, his expression was still calm, and he said, "Why do you have to be afraid of the mere bandit Dong's attack?...Come here!"

Yan Xiang stepped forward immediately, intending to persuade him not to be so reckless and impulsive.

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Shu said again: "Send Ji Ling to fight, I'll pack up and head to Runan!... Send the order, be sure to delay for a while!"

As the well-deserved prodigal son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is better than Yuan Shao in that he knows who he can afford and who he cannot.

At the beginning, he was a flying eagle in Luoyang, arrogant and domineering, and had the nickname of "the ghost on the road".But after returning to Yuan Mansion, he has another image of being gentle, courteous and thrifty, as obedient as a kitten.

After four generations and three generations, it is not so easy to be a man!
How could it be possible to get along like a fish in water if you don't have the ability to observe words and feelings, follow the wind to make the rudder, and turn black and white, and fight back?

For a moment, Yan Xiang couldn't speak what was stuck in his throat.After thinking about it, he said strangely: "General, Bandit Dong only led three thousand troops..."

"Is three thousand soldiers less?"

Yuan Shu retorted immediately, saying, "Don't forget, there is still Sun Jian guarding the city of Luyang, if the bandits Dong can drive all the way here, he must have defeated Sun Jian!"

"The 3000 troops were defeated by him in one night. It can be seen that those [-] people are just vanguards... If the general is one step behind and Wancheng is besieged on all sides, can you bear this responsibility?"

"My lord, my lord..." Chuanling couldn't help but speak again at this moment, and said, "Dong, Dong thief didn't defeat Sun Jian, but bypassed Lu Yang."

"Bypassing Luyang?" Yuan Shu finally calmed down, and asked with his chin in his hand, "It's true that he only came with 3000 people?"

"Perhaps not yet..."

"My lord!" At this time, another person came out and said with emotion: "Don't say that Dong Bandit only has 3000 people this time, even if it is 3, the lord has to go out of the city to fight!"

"Why?" Yuan Shu looked at the man, not hiding his ignorance at all.

Well, this is also better than Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao just likes to pretend.

Of course, the bigger reason is that Yuan Shao knows more than him.

"My lord, don't forget that at the beginning of the year, when the alliance was founded, the lord joined in angrily. Because of this, the lord can raise his arms and have followers like a cloud."

"Eliminating the country's thieves and rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, this is the country's hatred." Yuan Huan analyzed it carefully, and said: "The Dong thief then killed the Tai Tuo, and accused the master of being angry to death. This is a family hatred!"

"The thieves who have national hatred and family hatred with the lord come to the city, but the lord avoids fighting, and even wants to run away... If this matter gets out, who in the world will not laugh at the lord, and who will take the lord seriously? inside?"

"Master, Yaoqing's words are justified." Yan Xiang also followed closely, and said: "My lord, who bears the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince, can make Sun Jian surrender Nanyang."

"If we don't fight this time, the soldiers will definitely be distracted. At that time, the hearts of the people will be scattered. What can the lord rely on?"

As he said that, seeing Yuan Shu was still hesitating, he rolled his eyes and said, "Tie Dong only has three thousand troops, it is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone."

"I just need to wait for a while, and secretly send people into Sun Jian's camp, saying that my lord is willing to allocate food and grass to get back together. As long as there is a siege from both sides, Dong thief will die without a place to bury him!"

After hearing Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Huan felt a little tired, so he simply resorted to the final blow: "My lord, this is a feat that Yuan Benchu ​​has never achieved!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu was really tempted, and immediately made a decision: "Come here, put on armor with this general, I want to meet that Dong thief in person!"

Soon, Yuan Shu, who had prepared all his troops and horses, came to the city wall of Wancheng wearing golden armor.

Then I saw Old Dong outside the moat, holding a big wooden trumpet and yelling: "Yuan Shu, you are the singer, right?... Give me a quick word, surrender or not!"

"Dog thief!" Yuan Shu was furious immediately, and shouted back at the top of his voice: "You ruined the government, robbed the imperial tomb, and killed the loyal officials of the great man indiscriminately. Everyone will be punished! You dare to bark here today. Could it be that some sword Not good!"

"Hahaha..." Old Dong had never been discouraged by scolding, so he immediately laughed and said, "Is it possible that the little thief is here to take advantage of the old man's tongue?"

"You deserve it too!"

"If your mother had seen the old man's eloquence, you might be named Dong now, so hurry up and call me daddy!"

Old Dong had just warmed up here, but Yuan Shu had never seen such a sharp curse, his eyes were bloodshot in an instant, and his eyes were about to burst: "You dog thief, someone will kill you with his own hands today!"

"Lieutenant Ji, join me in the battle!"

After the voice fell, the suspension bridge crashed down shortly after, and the city gate rumbled open.

The leader, Ji Ling, rushed forward and shouted: "Follow me!...My lord has something to say, whoever kills Dong thief will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and ten thousand households will be given food!"

"Quick, quick!..."

Seeing that the plan was successful, Old Dong casually threw the wooden trumpet, and quickly turned his horse's head: "Quickly withdraw!... By the way, release arrows while withdrawing, to make them angry, so as not to chase after them."

Hua Xiong looked a little contemptuous, and said: "Taiwei, do you want to wait any longer? Those soldiers are in a messy formation, it's definitely not me waiting for Xiliang iron cavalry... what the hell!"

As soon as he was halfway through the conversation, he admired Old Dong's foresight.

Of course, he was right.

Yuan Shu's soldiers really didn't look like elites. The problem was that the army at the city gate kept coming, as if stabbing an ant's nest. He was so scared that he immediately shouted: "Taiwei, wait for the last general!"

Equipped with a three-piece suit of war horses, the Xiliang iron cavalry is unparalleled in the world, but Hua Xiong still knows one word: ants kill elephants too much.

Especially since this is still in front of the city gate, there is not enough space for the cavalry to rush up. If they stay where they are, they will be surrounded by endless armies, and then gradually be eaten away.

"Heh, Dong thief, what are you arrogant about? Seeing this general's army, aren't you scared to death?" Seeing Dong Zhuo fleeing without a fight, Yuan Shu's confidence increased greatly.

Thinking that he had already sent messengers to Sun Jian's camp when the soldiers were ordered, the timing should be just right, so he immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Chasing!... This general wants to show the world who is the son of the Yuan family!"

In this way, Old Dong fled in front, and Yuan Shu's army chased after him, and it seemed that Old Dong could not escape.

He was poisoned by him and became terminally ill.

"Tie Dong, today I not only want to get your man, but I also want to gouge out your heart!"

Under the setting sun, it was Yuan Shu's bloody and cruel oath.

It doesn't seem romantic at all.

Old Dong's eyes were as dark as night, and he listened to Yuan Shu's declaration, and responded affectionately in a low voice: "Yuan Gonglu, I don't mind playing a taboo game with you..."

Dian Wei couldn't listen any longer, and patted Old Dong on the shoulder: "Don't make a fuss about it, my lord, you've gone in the wrong direction!"

"oh oh……"

Half an hour later, Old Dong was out of breath and was about to be knocked apart by the horse.

Looking up at a narrow valley road in front of him, he finally showed a smile: "Victory is ahead, boys and girls, just keep going!"

After finishing speaking, he plunged into the valley first.

When Ji Ling arrived, he could only see the back of Xiliang cavalry in the distance.The cavalry around him wanted to chase again, but he suddenly reined in his horse and shouted loudly, "Stop chasing!"

Out of the intuition of a general, he instinctively smelled an ominous smell towards this valley: "This place is too narrow, stop the rear!"

After running for half an hour, the concession riders began to separate—the valley road ahead was narrow, and the army left behind. Ji Ling turned his horse and turned around, always feeling that things were very strange.

"Whoever told you to stop, Bandit Dong is right in front of you, chase after me!" Yuan Shu rushed up from behind, seeing the former army's hesitation, he was furious immediately: "Ji Ling, you want to stop a certain revenge!"

"My lord!..." Ji Lingdang was about to say worried, and then said: "This place is close to Luyang, why haven't we seen Sun Jian's troops yet?"

"Once Sun Jian refuses to send troops, or even votes secretly...not good!"

As Ji Ling spoke, he yelled, and suddenly pushed Yuan Shu off the horse, and rolled onto the rear of the cavalry horse in embarrassment.

Before Yuan Shu had time to get angry, he saw hundreds of crossbows shooting out from the valley, making a sharp scream.The cavalry in front of Taniguchi instantly turned on their backs and rolled down miserably!

Immediately afterwards, there was loud drumming all around.

Old Dong and Sun Jian came out of the valley side by side.Behind them, there is a steady stream of soldiers and horses rushing down from the mountain, the number of them is no less than their own, and their fighting spirit is high.

Only Old Dong looked a little disappointed, but he wasn't too discouraged. Seeing the embarrassed Yuan Hou, he couldn't help but smile again: "Gaolu, it's time for you to run away now, the old man is here to chase..."

Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood.

Looking at the secretive smile on Old Dong's face, he was immediately filled with anger, and replied furiously: "Dong, Dong thief...do you have some serious illness!"
