"Ah? But I forgot something?" Yuan Yao asked.
Lu Su slapped his thigh: "We are just thinking about rescuing the prince, but General Ji Ling is still in Lu Bu's hands!"
This time, because I just wanted to send money and food to Pengcheng and then take Yuan Yao back, I only asked one officer to escort 200 cavalry.
Now that we have been attacked by thieves, we don’t even have anyone who can direct the war!
Han Yin pretended to be calm and said: "No need to panic, we are in Yuzhou now, where can there be enemies? I'm afraid they are just bandits..."
Just as he was talking, someone came quickly to report: "Your Majesty, two gentlemen, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road and blocked the way. Please... please come forward and answer, Your Majesty."
"Ah...he knows who I am?" Yuan Yao trembled in fright.
"It seems that I know, but I also don't seem to know..." The orderer's answer was ambiguous.
"Just say I'm not at home..." Yuan Yao suddenly wanted to run back. At least his personal safety as a prisoner in Pengcheng could be guaranteed!
"Your Majesty, that man said... If no one comes out to speak, he will kill us all... You'd better go and have a look..."
Han Yin advised: "Your Majesty, you are now on our territory. Maybe this is a misunderstanding?"
"Then...well, gentlemen, please come with me to find out!"
He bravely rode his horse to the front, and sure enough he saw a group of cavalry with bright armor blocking the way. Each of them unsheathed their bows and stared at Yuan Yao's bodyguards.
"Ahem... Where are you from? Why are you blocking my way?" Yuan Yao asked pretending to be calm.
"Xiahou Yuan of Qiao County is here! Who are you?" the leading general asked.
"I...I told you that you don't recognize me either! I'm on my way...anyway, don't block my way, we can just walk..."
Upon hearing the word Xiahou, Yuan Yao turned his horse's head and ran back.
"Second men, capture this guy for me! Catch him alive!" Xia Houyuan rushed out with a wave of the spear in his hand.
----
Shouchun.
The guard came in and reported: "My lord, Mr. Han Yin has returned!"
Yuan Shu was overjoyed after hearing this: "Oh? Why didn't you send someone back to inform in advance? My son is back too? Let them in quickly!"
Yuan Shu originally thought that Yuan Yao should scold him in public for being so unsatisfactory and humiliating him so much.
But when he heard that his son was back, he still couldn't hide his tenderness - he was his biological son!
After waiting for a while, Han Yin stumbled in alone.
"Why are you the only one? Where is Yao'er? Where is Mr. Lu?" Yuan Shu's face looked a little ugly.
Han Yin did not dare to be verbose and said directly: "Lord! Originally... I had a good talk with Lu Bu, but I have already taken the prince back.
As a result... he was attacked by Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan just after leaving Xuzhou!
Now, Xia Houyuan has arrested both the crown prince and Lu Su, and specially asked me to come back and report to the lord..."
"Oops!" Yuan Shu felt his eyes go dark and almost couldn't escape.
What the hell is this called? He is just such a son, who has just emerged from the wolf pack and fallen into the tiger's den?
Everyone hurriedly supported Yuan Shu.
Yan Xiang hurriedly advised: "My lord, don't be anxious. Since Xia Houyuan asked Mr. Han to come back to deliver the letter, it means that he does not want to be disadvantageous to the prince, and most likely he will not harm the prince's life..."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu felt that it made sense, and finally felt a little more at ease.
But then my heart hurt even more! If you don't want to kill, then you are being kidnapped again? I'm going to be blackmailed again!
Yin asked: "Han Yin! Tell me the whole story and let me hear it..."
Han Yin didn't dare to hide anything and told the whole story.
After hearing this, Yuan Shu stomped his feet in anger: "This... what should we do? Dear friends, do you have any clever ideas? Tell me quickly!"
Han Yin knew that Yuan Shu would definitely blame himself if he failed. He was eager to atone for his sins and hurriedly offered his advice:
"Lord, I think Cao Cao definitely wants to use the crown prince to blackmail you..."
Yuan Shu cursed: "Nonsense! Did he capture my son and eat and drink him as an offering to his ancestors? Let's get to the point!"
Han Yin hurriedly said: "Yes, I just don't know what Cao Cao's purpose is. Does he want money and food like Lu Bu, or does he want territory, or does he have other requirements...
I think we should wait now. Cao Cao will definitely send someone to make demands!
Let's take advantage of this opportunity to finalize the marriage quickly. In this way, Lu Bu will become the lord's son-in-law.
If Cao Cao asks for a ransom, the lord can pretend to agree to Cao Cao first and collect the ransom to redeem the prince first.
Then he and Lu Bu attacked Cao Cao from both sides to get the ransom back! "
Yuan Shu lowered his head and said nothing. Although it was not a good idea, his analysis seemed to make some sense...
Yan Xiang snorted coldly, and Yuan Shu hurriedly asked: "What, sir, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Yan Xiang said: "My lord, if you think about it carefully, Lu Bu released the prince so happily and agreed to the marriage, and released the prince in a hurry.
Later, the prince left Xuzhou and was kidnapped by Cao Cao's men when he arrived in Peiguo! Is this really all a coincidence? "
Yuan Shu couldn't help but take a breath: "You mean... Lu Bu has already formed an alliance with Cao Cao?"
Yan Xiang said: "I don't know whether there is an alliance or not, but there must be some collusion secretly!
If my prediction is correct, the two of them may not be able to fight.
And... in a few days, Cao Cao will send someone to deliver a message, asking the lord to use gold to redeem the crown prince! "
"Then... what should we do?" Yuan Shu was frightened by Yan Xiang's remarks.
If Lu Bu and Cao Cao really formed an alliance, I would really be desperate!
At this moment, Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui stood up and said: "My lord! The general has a plan at the end, I don't know whether to tell it or not!"
Yuan Shu said: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing else that should be said or should not be said! If General Zhang has any ideas, just say them, and everyone can listen and see if they are feasible!"
Qiao Rui agreed and said: "Lord, I thought that Cao Cao used almost all his troops to attack Xuzhou this time, and now his army is stationed at the border of Xuzhou.
There will definitely be an emptiness behind him at this time! If we use surprise troops to bypass Qiao County and attack Changyi directly, we will surely win easily!
When the time comes, we will arrest all Cao Cao’s wives, concubines, and children to see if he dares to ask for ransom from our lord! "
Yuan Shu's eyes couldn't help but light up: This idea won his heart!
Treat others in their own way! Let Cao Cao also taste the feeling of his son being kidnapped!
And...who doesn't know that Cao Cao is a lecher?
I think he had quite a few concubines who came to Changyi...
Yin asked: "Everyone, what do you think of Qiao Rui's idea? Everyone can speak freely and express their own ideas!"
