Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 345
Seeing Qu Yi's appearance, Lu Bu would die at any time, and sighed: "Dezhou is like this, if you travel hundreds of miles, it's hard to go back."

Qu Yi laughed and said, "I'm going to die in the mansion. I'm afraid I'll cause trouble to Marquis Wen. Why don't I just gamble on my luck? I'll admit it when I die on the road."

After hearing this, Lu Bu made up his mind to go until Qu Yi decided, and immediately said: "In that case, I will order people to straighten out the carriages and horses, and send them to Dezhou tomorrow."

Qu Yi laughed, "There is Lord Lao Wen over there."

Lu Bu sighed, "I don't think there are many warriors in my life, but Dezhou is definitely among them."

"Now that Dezhou has saved Bu's wife and daughter, Bu has nothing to repay, which makes Bu feel uneasy."

Qu Yi laughed: "Thanks to Marquis Wen, I don't have any big ambitions in this life, but Marquis Wen is different."

"If he walks the right path in the future, Marquis Wen may not be able to shake the world again."

Lu Bu listened with a serious expression on his face: "Bu has memorized the words of Dezhou."

Lu Bu came out of Qu Yi's room, thinking that Qu Yi hurried back to Youzhou, fearing that he knew that his life was not long and it would be hard for him to keep him here.

When he returned to the house, he heard the report from the guards that Yang Chou asked to see him. After hearing this, Lu Bu said, "Let him in."

He thought that Yang Chou was honest. Lu Bu suspected that Yang Chou was the mastermind behind the chaos in the city a few days ago, but Yang Chou came to Lu Bu every day to talk about the situation in the city and dealt with it calmly, so Lu Bu's suspicion gradually faded.

Because several of his generals were more suspicious than Yang Chou.

Lu Bu asked Chen Gong to collect evidence secretly, but in the past few days, Chen Gong discovered that several of Lu Bu's generals had some problems, especially the most suspected one, Hao Meng, who was highly regarded!

Lu Bu still couldn't believe it, Hao Meng had followed him for many years, how could this be possible?

Of course, the evidence collected by Chen Gong is insufficient, and it is also possible that someone framed Hao Meng, so Lu Bu told Chen Gong not to speak up for the time being, and make plans after collecting hard evidence.

The guards brought Yang Chou in, Yang Chou bowed his head and said, "Marquis Wen, there is something important to report at the end."

After hearing this, Lu Bu asked the left and right to go down and said, "What's the matter? Just say it!"

Yang Chou reached into his bosom, took out a roll of silk script, and said anxiously: "At the end of the day, I got some evidence by accident, but this matter is so important that I can only report it to Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu took the silk book and looked at it carefully, his face suddenly became gloomy.

On this silk book is a private letter between Hao Meng and Yuan Shu, and the dissatisfaction with Lu Bu has already been revealed in the words!
He slapped the table angrily, and shouted at Yang Chou: "How did you get this thing?"

Yang Chou hurriedly lowered his head, "Someone sent it to my house, I don't know!"

Lu Bu held the silk, stared at Hao Meng firmly, and said, "Really?"

Yang Chou hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true, even if you give ten courageous generals, you wouldn't dare to lie to Marquis Wen!"

Lu Bu's tone slowed down, "Thank you for your hard work, I hope the general will keep it secret for now, and I will definitely investigate the matter to the bottom."

Yang Chou wiped off his sweat and said respectfully, "Respect the order of Marquis Wen."

He took the opportunity to say: "There is one more thing, the prefect's food is almost used up."

"The last general has already raised food and grass, and is going to leave for Hanoi tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and said, "You are the only general under Zhang Yang. If you are leaving, who will take charge of Huaicheng?"

Yang Chou said with a smile: "When the last general went to Hanoi with the prefect, Marquis Wen sat in Huaicheng, and everything was fine, but after the last general came back, there was chaos in the city, and the last general felt ashamed and let down Wen Hou and the prefect. .”

"The prefect also told Chou that with Marquis Wen around, he would be more at ease than when he was around."

Lu Bu was a little flustered by Yang Chou's flattery, and laughed immediately: "Since Zhang Yang trusts me so much, then I will take care of Huaicheng for him!"

Yang Chou left and got into the carriage, feeling cold sweat all over his vest.

If it wasn't for the future family, he really wouldn't dare to take such risks.

The day before yesterday, Lu Mansion was not captured, Lu Bu's family members were not killed, and the planting of Yuan Xi failed for some unknown reason, all of which were beyond Yang Chou's expectations.

Although Yang Chou was not directly instigating the mobilization, Yang Chou was panicked, fearing that he would be found out, and always wanted to find a chance to escape. However, after the Cao family sent a secret letter, Yang Chou decided to take a gamble. stay on.

Facts have proved that Cao Cao guessed Lu Bu's thoughts thoroughly, and he was not held accountable, but Lu Bu investigated his generals instead.

The reason why Lü Bu doubted his generals more than Yang Chou was because of Lv Bu's own personality.

As Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo's confidant, he betrayed twice, so Lu Bu himself was most wary of being betrayed by his confidant.

Therefore, the more capable confidants are, the less they can be reused by Lu Bu's subordinates, and they will be guarded instead. This is the case with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. They were sent to confront Zhao Yun outside the city, not necessarily because of this factor.

However, Hao Meng, Wei Xu and others with relatively poor abilities are more likely to be trusted by Lu Bu.

Unfortunately, it was these people who were trusted by Lu Bu who later betrayed Lu Bu.

Now Cao Cao has evidence of collusion between Hao Meng and Yuan Shu. When the turmoil in Huaicheng was undecided, the real mastermind of the turmoil, Yang Chou, was thrown out to make the chaos in Huaicheng even more chaotic!
In this way, even if the alliance between Lv Bu and Yuan Xi is not broken, Lv Bu will be forced to clean up the door and deal with Yuan Shu. Lu Bu ahead!
After Yang Chou figured out the cause and effect, he was afraid for a while, Cao Cao's counselors are terrible!

He secretly rejoiced that his mission had been completed this time, and he had to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

There will be changes in the city at any time, and it will be bad if you are affected!

At the same time, a secret letter was sent to Hao Meng's residence.

Hao Meng opened it and broke out in a cold sweat.

There is only one line above.

The matter between Jun and Yuan Gonglu was brought to light, and there will be a glimmer of life if the incident is started as soon as possible.

He hurriedly burned the silk with the secret letter written on it, and walked back and forth anxiously in the house.

He didn't doubt the content of the letter at all, because he had indeed received Yuan Shu's promise, and Yuan Shu promised that if he raised his troops to kill Lu Bu, he would be able to take Lu Bu's place!
In less than a few days now, it is the best time to start an incident, because at that time, Yuan Shujun will be able to enter Sili, go north to Hanoi, and approach Huaicheng.

Yuan Shu nominally wanted to intimidate Lu Bu, but actually he wanted to cooperate with Hao Meng inside and outside to take down Huaicheng!
Hao Meng originally thought that this matter was extremely confidential, but now he suddenly found out that his plan had been revealed, so how could he not panic?

Can't wait any longer!
Inside the tent in the Black Mountain Passage, Yuan Xi became more and more uneasy, so he called Guo Jia over again.

He first apologized: "I have something to hide from my husband."

He told about himself pretending to be Yinhu, and finally said: "I sent brother Qu out under the name of Yinhu. I was afraid of being suspected by Lu Bu, so I concealed this matter."

"Brother Qu's fate is at an instant now, so it doesn't matter if I hide it or not, so I want to ask Mr. about it. I always feel that the matter of Huaicheng the day before yesterday is a bit strange. The other party is just trying to set the blame on me?"

After Guo Jia heard this, he just wanted to understand some joints. He thought for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Young master concealed this matter for the safety of Dezhou. You did the right thing."

"But the matter of Huaicheng is indeed a bit weird."

He raised a finger, "What do you think is the most important thing right now?"

Yuan Xi subconsciously replied: "To please the emperor?"

Guo Jia nodded, "That's right, the young master thinks that the disturbance in Huaicheng is related to this matter?"

Yuan Xi thought about it, "If there is turmoil in the city, Lu Bu can't act rashly, and it may take quite a while to rectify the spies in the city."

"Zilong and Gongyu may have to follow Lu Bu's pace and delay their departure..."

He suddenly shook his body, "If there is another disturbance..."

"Who will benefit in the end?"

Both of them thought hard, who is closest to the emperor's car now?
The two said in unison: "Yuan Shu!"

Guo Jia then shook his head and denied, "It doesn't look like it. Yuan Shu is the one who wants to become emperor, so he doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"He mobilized the army directly, wouldn't it be over if he killed the emperor?"

Yuan Xi had a flash of inspiration, "Sir, you are saying that those who want to ruin Lu Bu's affairs with us also want to please the Emperor?"

"Cao Cao?"

He immediately asked in doubt: "Cao Cao's army is walking from Chenliu to Sili, and they will meet Yuan Shujun at the border of Yuzhou. Isn't he afraid of being stopped?"

Guo Jia also couldn't think of a clue, both of them were puzzled.

But half a day later, the urgent information sent by the sentinels made the two of them suddenly realize that they were too late to regret.

Cao Cao's army crossed the river secretly, joined forces with Yuan Shangjun who had returned from Dongwuyang, and traveled from Weijun all the way to the border of Hebei.

Yuan Shang led his army northward to the pass of Zhaojun leading to Heishan, while Cao Cao's army went southward and entered Sili!

Only then did Yuan Xi and Guo Jia understand, and it was no wonder that they could not make reasonable inferences without information.

Who knew that Cao Cao's army attacked Chen Liu openly, but like Yuan Xi, they played a trick to cover Chen Cang secretly?
Tian Yu looked ashamed: "This time, Cao Jun's information was kept secret very well. They crossed the river and mixed into Yuan Shang's army. They reached the border of Bingzhou all the way, and then they went straight to Sili."

"At this time, the spies we planted at the border quickly returned the information, but it was too late. Cao Cao should have arrived at Sili by this time!"

Guo Jia sighed: "Cao Cao should have reached a deal with Mr. Yuan San, otherwise he wouldn't have covered it up for him."

"In this way, Cao Cao will be ahead, and everyone will be put together!"

"The mastermind behind the Huaicheng Rebellion is about to emerge, and the biggest beneficiary is obviously Cao Cao!"

"And since he hasn't achieved his goal yet, he shouldn't have given up yet!"

Yuan Xi clenched his fists, Cao Cao is really difficult to deal with!

In comparison, I am still much younger!
He said, "What shall we do now?"

Guo Jia said decisively: "The situation has changed, and the plan needs to be changed immediately."

"Young master should send out troops and horses to help Hanoi as quickly as possible."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "I thought the master would persuade me to guard the Black Mountain passage."

Guo Jia said: "There are priorities."

"Right now, the most important thing for you is to please the emperor, but without Lu Bu's support, Zilong and the lone army can't face the Cao army and the Baibo army."

"The Black Mountain passage has become tasteless, and the third son Yuan is bound to win. We can't tear ourselves apart with him for the time being."

"In this case, it's better to go along with the flow and be a human being."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi asked Tian Yu, "Where is Yuan Shangjun?"

Tian Yu said: "We have already entered the hinterland of Montenegro, more than 100 miles to the southwest of us, obviously trying to cut off our road going south."

Yuan Xi was startled when he heard this, so close?
