Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339
Huaicheng, the prefecture of Hanoi.

Chen Gong has been in a bad mood recently.

Chen Gui fooled Lu Bu, slapped his ass and left, was he the one who cleaned up Lu Bu's mess in the end?

On the table in front of him, there are all bamboo slips of military information, and every piece of news on it is not very good.

Yuan Shu's army led by Zhang Xunqiaorui has reached the junction of Yuzhou and Sili, and the leader is actually his eldest son Yuan Yao.

Chen Gong knew that this was Yuan Shu's threat to Lu Bu. Of course, it was also possible that he was coveting the emperor's chariot. As long as the emperor Liu Xie returned to Luoyang, Yuan Shu's army would most likely turn to attack Luoyang.

If it was another prince, he might have some scruples about doing such a thing, but if it was Yuan Shu, Chen Gong felt that it was really possible, after all, the other party had no taboos in doing things.

It's normal for a person who wants to be self-reliant to kill the current emperor, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Gong was also a little bit afraid of his previous thoughts. If Yuan Lu joined forces, he was afraid that Lu Bu would have been implicated.

Since it is almost impossible to join forces with Yuan Shu, it is the best policy to seek to join hands with other people to carry Yuan Shu.

But there were not many choices in front of him. Chen Gong ruled out Cao Cao first. After all, he had already broken up with Cao Cao, so how could he turn back?

But in this way, Lu Bu and the surrounding princes almost fell out, and the only choice was Yuan Xi.

Chen Gong felt a little headache when he thought of this name. This fierce tiger is not only good at fighting, but also calculating people's hearts. He still hasn't figured out how Lu Bu got to where he is today.

Lv Bu fled to Hanoi, facing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's threats, he could not stand alone. Chen Gong suggested that he go to Yuan Shu, although it was a helpless move, but it was a way to save himself.

Now this road is dead. In comparison, Youzhou is not a better choice, but this is the only choice?
Chen Gong began to think, did Yuan Xi plot against Lu Bu in advance? If so, what exactly did he want to use Lu Bu for?
Is it just to please the emperor?

If this was the reason, things would be easier to handle. Lu Bu used all his soldiers and joined forces with Yuan Youzhou's army to rush to Hedong to welcome the emperor, drive away the Baibo bandits who held the emperor hostage, welcome the emperor, and rebuild the Han court!
This is actually very attractive to Chen Gong. For officials all over the world, it is definitely a great honor to be rewarded by the emperor.

But the point is, the Baibo thief is not so easy to deal with, let alone Li Jue and Guo Si who are eyeing him!

Then the fierce tiger of the Yuan family couldn't use Lu Bu as a striker to reap the benefits for himself, right?

And according to the information on the bamboo slips, the Jizhou Army and Cao Cao Army have already shown signs of action. Although they don't know the purpose, if they really came to Sili like Yuan Shu, even with the Youzhou Army, can they take advantage here?

When Chen Gong was thinking hard, another urgent report was delivered into the house. When he opened it, his face suddenly changed.

Yuan Xi has already sent a troop to Hanoi and stationed fifty miles outside the city, asking to see Lu Bu?
how so fast?
How did you get here?
Chen Gong's heart trembled, this fierce tiger could send soldiers and horses to such a close place without a sound, and he didn't even notice it, it's too scary!

Either there was a problem with the information on my side, or the other party's whereabouts were secretive, or the speed of their march was so fast that the spies here hadn't returned in time to report?

When Chen Gong saw the names on the bamboo slips, he became even more uneasy. Then the fierce tiger sent both of them out?

He quickly picked up the bamboo slips and went to see Lu Bu.

Dozens of miles away from Huaicheng, two armies and horses were confronting each other in the distance.

Ju Shou rode on the horse, pointed at the general opposite with his whip, and said to Zhao Yun: "The generals Marquis Wen are mostly from Bingzhou, and they like cavalry, but this man on the other side is a different kind, and all the troops under his command are infantry, so he should not be underestimated."

Zhao Yun saw hundreds of armored soldiers lined up on the opposite side, and in front of the formation was a tall general with a stern expression on his face, and said: "Young Master once mentioned this person to me."

"Is this Gao Shun?"

Ju Shou nodded and sighed, "That's right, I was quite familiar with him before."

"And I also helped practice in this camp, but unfortunately, I didn't stay in Jizhou."

Zhao Yun knew that there must be something hidden in it, but this is not the time to ask this. He is more concerned about the cavalry next to Gao Shun's camp.

He whispered to Jushou: "That cavalry general doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."

Ju Shou took a look and said with a smile, "I do recognize him."

Zhao Yun knew that Jushou had served as a military supervisor and knew the other princes and generals like the back of his hand, so he asked, "Who is this person?"

Ju Shouhun said casually: "Zhang Liao, formerly an official of Yanmen County, has followed Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and now he has followed Lu Bu."

"The military general of Bingzhou is very casual about taking refuge in the lord in this regard."

Zhang Liao's fortune was very similar to that of Zhang Yang. He was conscripted by Ding Yuan, sent to Hebei by He Jin, then attached to Dong Zhuo, and finally served as a cavalry captain under Lu Bu.

There was contempt in Zhao Yunju's words, and he said, "So he is Zhang Liao?"

"Young master once asked me to pay more attention to this person and Gao Shun."

"Gong and Mr. seem to have some opinions on it?"

After hearing this, Ju Shou said, "It's not a big deal. This Liao ancestor should be Nie Yi, but now he is in the circle of generals in Bingliang. It can be said that he is ashamed of his ancestor."

Zhao Yun thought it was so.

Nie Yi, also known as Nie Weng Yi, was the mastermind of Mayi's conspiracy.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu requested a peace alliance with the Han Dynasty. The ministers of the Han court could not agree on this. Han Anguo and others supported the peace alliance. Wang Hui believed that he should give up what he wanted and attack him with soldiers. As a result, Han Anguo’s side received more support from the courtiers. , So Emperor Wu decided to make peace.

In the first year of Yuanguang in the Western Han Dynasty, Nie Yi, a wealthy merchant in Mayi, Yanmen, suggested to Emperor Wu through Wang Hui that the Han Dynasty had already won the trust of the Xiongnu after the marriage.

After some debate, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted this suggestion, so Nie Yi was ordered to use himself as a bait to personally go to the Huns camp, and feigned surrender to Shan Yu, the military official at the time, saying that he could kill the county magistrate of Mayi and force Mayi to surrender. Then you can get all the property of the city.

Shan Yu believed his words and raised troops immediately. At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 30 soldiers to set up an ambush near Mayi. Information about an ambush by the North Korean army.

Shan Yu retreated in shock, and 30 Han troops returned without success. Mayi's plot failed.

There is no clear record of what happened to Nie Yi afterwards, but Wang Hui, who was an important minister, was forced to commit suicide, which shows that the Nie Yi family should have been implicated.

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms said that Zhang Liao "changed his surname to avoid resentment after he was originally Nie Yi". On the one hand, his family was hated by the Huns, and on the other hand, he was not liked by the Han court. It is also reasonable to change the family name to avoid the world.

When Zhao Yun had a talk with Yuan Xiye, he heard Yuan Xi talk about this period of history. After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he asked Zhao Yun a question: "Brother Zilong thinks that if Zhang Liao is really the descendant of Nie Yi, it will affect the current Han court. , what kind of mood do you have?"

Zhao Yun pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Yun can only judge by seeing it himself."

Yuan Xi laughed and said: "There will be a chance, if he is still loyal at that time, he will ask Brother Zilong!"

Yuan Xi sent Zhao Yun out because he liked Zhao Yun's natural affinity.

Among the generals of the Shu Han, there are not many people with character, especially Guan Zhang, whose eyes are above the top, but Zhao Yun has a good relationship with everyone, and his ability to be a man must be remarkable. .

If people like Zhao Yun are not sent out to engage in diplomacy to poach corners, that would be reckless!

Zhao Yun was staring at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun on the opposite side at this time, Mr. Xindao asked him to find a way to dig the wall.

Forget it, the paperwork has been handed over anyway, so I just have to take a step to look at it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun started to slander. He originally advocated exchanging with Tian Yu and dealing with the former army of the Black Mountain Army by himself, but Yuan Xi vetoed it.

Yuan Xi said that Zhao Yun had made a name for himself in Youzhou in the past six months. If the Black Mountain Army knew that Zhao Yun was in charge, it would be difficult to be deceived. On the other hand, Tian Yu followed Yuan Xi to fight against Xuzhou. Although he made a lot of contributions, he did nothing. It's dirty work, and the reputation has not been spread. It is estimated that the Black Mountain Army will not pay attention to it, and it is just used to paralyze the enemy.

Finally Yuan Xi smiled and said: "And help the emperor, save the emperor from danger, isn't that what Brother Zilong wants to do most?"

Zhao Yun was moved in his heart, but he still had some concerns, "But the young master's actions seem to run counter to Ben Chugong's thinking?"

Yuan Xi said: "Mr. Yuan has some ideas, but I don't think they are right."

"At least for the current Yuan family, the existence of the Son of Heaven is still very necessary."

"Brother Zilong just let go of the burden and act according to your own ideas. No matter what the outcome of the matter is, I will take care of it for Brother Zilong."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun felt that he had met his confidant, and said in a deep voice, "Yun will definitely live up to your entrustment!"

And what Zhao Yun didn't expect was that Yuan Xi specifically explained to the two before departure that he hoped that Jushou could help Zhao Yun, which meant that Zhao Yun was the main one, which made Zhao Yun even more confused. Comparable to Jushou?

Is this Yuan Xi's intention to cultivate his ability to be independent, or does he have other ideas?
When Lu Bu heard the report from Chen Gong that the Youzhou army had appeared dozens of miles away from Huaicheng, he almost choked out the wine in his mouth.

He lost his voice: "He dared to send people to my territory before I promised him to join forces?"

"He even led troops to such a close place, are you threatening me?"

Chen Gongdao: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have already led troops to intercept them, and judging by the appearance of the Youzhou Army, there is no malice."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Who brought the troops here, and how many people did they bring?"

Chen Gong replied, "It's Ju Shou and Zhao Yun, who brought about 2000 people."

Lu Bu replied calmly, "What can 2000 people do?"

"But Jushou has sent them over, and it doesn't seem like they were sent to die."

"Gongtai, you said what kind of medicine is sold in the tiger's gourd, does he really trust me so much?"

"Isn't my reputation among the gentry not very good?"

Chen Gong is speechless, but you know your reputation!
