Cheng Yu is right. It is true that two characters of Yuan cannot be written in one stroke. Even though Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are somewhat at odds with each other, in the final analysis, they are all members of the Yuan family. The bones were broken, but the tendons were attached. At this most critical juncture, Yuan Shu would definitely immediately think of entrusting Yuan Shao with his funeral arrangements.
Therefore, the whereabouts of the missing general Ji Ling and counselor Yan Xiang are self-evident. They must be in Hebei. Besides, Yuan Shu is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, and is a bit besieged on all sides. Hebei is the only one he can count on. The imperial seal must have been sent to Hebei, there is no doubt about it!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao didn't even bother to put on his clothes, so he ran out of the big tent with bare feet and gave orders to Cao Hongfa outside the tent.
"Cao Hong, come here quickly. I have something important for you to do!"
"Cao Hong is here, please give me your orders, brother!" Hearing Cao Cao's cry, Cao Hong didn't know what happened. He thought Cheng Yu was snitching on him and Cao Cao wanted to deal with his own. But the emperor's destiny is like a mountain. Although Cao Hong was a little worried, he still came to answer.
Seeing that although Cao Hong was a little afraid of scolding him, he still came over. This made Cao Cao very satisfied. After all, he was one of his own and could be relied upon. I just wanted to praise Cao Hong, but thinking of the urgent military situation, I couldn't wait to do it. So he didn't care about praising Cao Hong and immediately gave the order.
"Cao Hong, please quickly select five thousand elite soldiers and chase Yan Xiang and the others in the direction of Hebei. I believe they can't run far. When you catch up, kill them all. Remember not to leave anyone alive. Give the things to I’ll bring it back!”
Cao Hong was relieved to hear Cao Cao's murderous orders without any intention of blaming himself. It seems that the eldest brother did not blame himself, but instead delegated very important tasks. This also made Cao Hong very excited. There is nothing simpler and more exciting than entering!
"Brother, don't worry. Zi Lian promises to complete the mission and will definitely kill all Yuan Shu's remnants and help the lord get back his things!" So Cao Hong promised a little bloodthirsty.
"Hahaha, go and come back quickly, be careful all the way, I'm here waiting for your triumphant return!" Cao Cao said, a little excited and very concerned.
"It's my lord, Zi Lian will come back as soon as you go!" Cao Hong didn't delay, took the order and left.
"General Zilian will definitely succeed when he goes here. My lord is really knowledgeable and kind, and I admire him very much!" At this time, Cheng Yu also walked out of the camp, looked at Cao Hongyuan's back, and said in time He said complimentary words to Cao Cao.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Cao Cao felt very comfortable after saying this, and this was the effect he wanted. Why not send someone else and choose Cao Hong instead. It's because Cao Hong is more ruthless and he is from his own family. Therefore, Cheng Yu's praise is not exaggerated at all. Cao Cao really knew people well and was good at appointing them. He just appointed Cao Hong because he didn't want others to know about it. After all, the fewer people who know about such a secret matter, the better!
As for wanting to kill them all, it is just a normal behavior. These are troubled times, and troubled times naturally have their own laws. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. The duty of eradicating evil has been exhausted, and only by killing them all can one be safe and worry-free!
Not to mention that Cao Hong sharpened his sword and brought five thousand elite menacingly along the direction of Hebei to hunt down the remnants of Yuan Shu, Ji Ling and the others.
When Shouchun City was destroyed, Ji Ling and Yan Xiang followed Yuan Shu's arrangements and led a thousand troops to escort the lord's legitimate son Yuan Yao and the Han family's heirloom treasures, and rushed towards Ye City non-stop. He followed his lord's wishes and went to Yuan Shao, the largest prince in the late Han Dynasty.
Just after leaving the territory of Shouchun, I heard the news from the defeated soldiers who had retreated from Shouchun that Shouchun city had been destroyed and the lord had committed suicide. This news is very sudden and inevitable. A large army besieged the city, which would inevitably destroy the city and lead to death. And committing suicide is very consistent with the character of the protagonist Yuan Shu. He has the kind of character that is the boss of the world and the second child. Even if he dies and his country is destroyed, he will not be willing to be ordinary. He will die vigorously!あ奇奇影院觧ヤ~7~1~7~(ωωω).qq7(1) <First release, domain name, please remember
This made Ji Ling and Yan Xiang admire and feel very sad. The lord is so heroic, how embarrassing it is for us. At the same time, I also feel that my burden is unclear. Since Shouchun has been captured, it seems that the pursuers will arrive soon. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!
The two looked at each other and understood very clearly. So he persuaded Yuan Yao, who was still in grief, and told him his interests. Yuan Yao is not a fool. When Ji Ling and the others said this, they knew that the matter was a bit serious. He immediately said that he would obey the arrangements of the military advisor and General Ji Ling, and Yuan Yao agreed without exception!
So, as soon as the three of them gathered together, they immediately mounted their horses and quickly led the troops towards Yecheng. They must not stop any longer. If the pursuers caught up, the consequences would be disastrous.
It's a pity that good fortune never comes alone and misfortune never comes alone. Before they could get far, they heard the roar of war horses behind them, causing dust to fly, and the banner with the Chinese character Cao fluttering in the wind. The first general was clearly Cao Hong, who was a bit ferocious and rushed towards him with great momentum. It seems that they are coming towards me, all cavalry, no less than five thousand in number!
On the other hand, Ji Ling and the others were just a thousand light infantrymen who had not been in battle for a long time, and they looked slightly timid. Seeing Cao Jun's army pressing down on the border, he was even more frightened. Not to mention resisting, thank God for not running away immediately!
Seeing this, Ji Ling picked up his sword and mounted his horse, preparing to meet the enemy first, kill the incoming general, build up the momentum of his army, and then seek a breakthrough. However, he was stopped by Yan Xiang and only listened to his advice.
"General, please don't be impulsive. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Don't be as brave as one man!"
"Ji Ling understands this, but you, military advisor, know that if I don't fight to the death, we will definitely be captured alive!" Ji Ling said with a wry smile after hearing Yan Xiang's dissuasion.あ奇奇影院觧ヤ~7~1~7~(ωωω).qq7(1) <First release, domain name, please remember
Of course, Yan Xiang knew about these situations and had a way to deal with them. Otherwise, he would not have pulled Ji Ling. He just listened to him and said softly, "This old man knows, so he stopped the general. Our most important thing at the moment is, I want to find a way to safely send my lord’s youngest son and the Han family’s treasure to Yecheng, and then avenge my lord!”
Seeing what Yan Xiang said, he seemed to have an idea. Ji Ling said eagerly, "Maybe the military advisor has already made a plan. Please give it to the military advisor. Ji Ling will definitely follow it!"
"Haha, it's not a good strategy, it's just a dead horse being treated as a live doctor!" Seeing Ji Ling asking, Yuan Yao was also looking forward to his answer, Yan Xiang smiled and said a little helplessly "The plan for now is for me to stay here with my soldiers to delay the pursuers. The general will take the young master to escape through a side road, and then rush to Yecheng in a roundabout way!"
"No, the military advisor is a weak scholar. How can he stay behind? Ji Ling should stay behind, and he will not tolerate these rubbish. Sir, take the young master and escape back to Hebei!" Before Yan Xiang could finish speaking, Ji Ling said The first one stood up and refused.
"General Ji Ling's words are reasonable. Sir, you must not stay here!" Yuan Yao also disagreed with Yan Xiang's idea and objected.
