Yuan Mai took the lead and led two hundred soldiers towards Yecheng. I saw him dressed in silver armor, with "cloud-piercing black pearls" on his crotch, and a sword flying to the sky hanging on his waist; on the saddle was hung the divine bow of "Thousands of Miles of Clouds and Smoke", and his red cloak rustled in the spring wind, making him majestic and heroic. ??Following Yuan Mai was Wang Shuang, a fierce general carrying a roaring tiger sword, surrounded by two personal soldiers, Zhou Cang and Zhu Ao. One was carrying a machete, and the other was carrying a pair of knives, both with disdainful looks on their faces. Don¡¯t you believe that Yecheng is a dragon¡¯s pond and a tiger¡¯s den? Today I have no choice but to accompany the young master on a adventure! In addition to Wang Shuang and the others, Ju Shou and Yuan Yao accompanied him. Jushou is an old minister of Yuan Shao, so he naturally needs to go in and visit. Logically speaking, the identities of Tian Feng and Jushu are almost the same, so they should go to the city. However, Yuan Mai is concerned about Tian Feng's upright character and is afraid that his words will offend Yuan Shang and cause the situation to change unexpectedly; secondly, he is afraid that if Yuan Shang happens, Zhang He really fell out, and Zhang He had no one outside with whom he could discuss countermeasures. Therefore, after some weighing, Tian Feng was left outside the city. ??According to family relations, Yuan Shao is Yuan Yao's uncle. The uncle is seriously injured and unconscious, and his life and death are uncertain. It is unreasonable for a nephew not to go to the city to visit, because of his love and etiquette. And Yuan Yao thinks that he has no interest in Yuan Shang, and he is not afraid that Yuan Shang will be disadvantageous to him. If the two brothers really fall out, kneel down and beg for mercy, and try to improve the relationship between the brothers, they may be favored by Yuan Shang again. Therefore, Yuan Yao happily followed him into the city. After Yuan Mai and others left, Zhang He immediately ordered all soldiers to put on their helmets and polish their weapons. Take orders at any time, and if the situation goes wrong, immediately attack the city with all your might. They also dispatched a hundred or so reconnaissance cavalry at the four gates of Ye City to closely monitor every move in the city and report at any time. Wherever the horse's hooves went, dust was thrown up. In a moment, they arrived at the west gate of Ye City. "Hey the people on the top of the city are listening. Yuan Xianyong, the governor of Bingzhou, came specially to visit the lord. He has only brought 200 followers according to Master Yuan Shang's request. Please lower the drawbridge. Open the city gate and let us enter the city!" "Wang Shuang came out with his sword across the line, shouted loudly towards the top of the city, and ordered the door to be opened and let people go. The person stationed at the west gate is Shen Rong, Shen Pei¡¯s nephew. Hear the shout below. He stuck his head out and nodded at the number of people. Apart from Yuan Mai, there were exactly 200 followers. "Haha General Shen Rong is being too polite!" In any case, Yuan Mai's identity is on display here. Shen Rong did not dare to be arrogant. After counting the number of people, he clasped his fists and apologized. "I have been ordered to do so. I have to obey. I hope that the Fourth Young Master will not blame me. I will lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let you enter the city!" Shen Rong and the people under the city! After Yuan Mai finished answering, he quietly ordered a soldier to report to Yuan Shang on flying horse, saying that Yuan Mai was entering the city immediately. Then he shouted to the sergeant who controlled the suspension bridge mechanism: "Loft the suspension bridge and open the city gate!" "Squeak" With the harsh sound of the machine, the turntable pulling the suspension bridge kept rotating, and the suspension bridge slowly fell, connecting the two sides of Yecheng's wide moat. "Drive" With a powerful shout, Wang Shuang took the lead, carrying a tiger roaring knife, flying across the "red snow" under his crotch, and was the first to cross the suspension bridge. As the general beside Yuan Mai, he must rush to the front to ensure the safety of his lord. Yuan Mai followed Wang Shuang on horseback. On the left was Zhu Gongdao, who was carrying two swords, and on the right was Zhou Cang, who was carrying a machete. They tightly surrounded Yuan Mai in the middle, with three horses riding in parallel; two hundred horsemen and warriors. Then he galloped into Yecheng like a horse and galloped towards Yuan Mansion. Within the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shangzheng discussed countermeasures with Shen Pei, Feng Ji and other staff who supported him. The pawn sent by Jurong came to the palace on flying horses, knelt down on one knee and reported: "General, Yuan Mai, the governor of Bingzhou, has entered the city!" "Oh?" I didn't expect that Yuan Mai really dared to enter the city, which made Yuan Shang a little bit agitated. Unexpectedly, there was an excited and ferocious light in his eyes. He twisted his neck, moved his neck muscles, and asked murderously: "How many people did you bring?" "I only brought two hundred according to your instructions. If there are too many people, General Shen will not dare to open the city gate!" Yuan Shang looked sternly, waving his hands to signal the soldiers to retreat, then looked at Shen Pei and Feng Ji: "Hey Yuan Tan is treacherous and does not dare to enter the city by himself. Guo Tu came to check on me. This Yuan Mai is sincere, or a little too naive. I didn't expect it to come to my door. How should you deal with it?" Yuan Shang made a murderous gesture with his hand as he spoke. "Should we kill him directly or arrest him first and put him under house arrest?" Shen Pei and Feng Ji's eyes flickered. They did not directly answer Yuan Shang's words, but fell into deep thought. After a while, Shen Pei was the first to speak, shaking his head and saying: "I can neither kill nor"?Can catch it! " "What? Yuan Shang was very dissatisfied with the judge's answer. His eyes were as big as bull's eyes. "This guy threw himself into a trap and came to your door. If we don't get rid of him now, how long will it take?" If we wait for him to return to Bingzhou and let the tiger go back to the mountains, it will be too late! " Shen Pei pinched his nose and said seriously: "Third Young Master, you are still too impetuous and lack a little stability. Let me analyze it for you. If Yuan Tan and Yuan Buy go into the city together, we can definitely catch them all in one fell swoop; regardless of the rumors outside, even if they bear temporary infamy, we can catch them all in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles. ¡°After all, except for the two of them, no one in Hebei can threaten your position. No matter how ugly the rumors are, they will be eliminated by strong strength But now the situation has changed. Only Yuan bought the city, but Yuan Tan did not enter the city. If we kill Yuan Mai or put him under house arrest, this will give Yuan Tan an excuse to attack you, thus winning the hearts and minds of the people; after all, not everyone in Yecheng is convinced by you For example, Chen Lin, Chen Zhen, Han Fan and others, if Yuan Mai and Yuan Tan died at the same time, they would have no choice but to surrender at the feet of the young master. But if only Yuan Mai is dead and Yuan Tan is alive, and he makes a big fuss about you getting rid of Yuan Mai, these people will inevitably turn to Yuan Mai" Listening to the reviewer's analysis, Yuan Shang Silent and carefully considering what Shen Pei said, this is indeed the truth. Shen Pei continued to add: "In addition to making some people turn to Yuan Tan, what is even more dangerous is that Yuan Tan is likely to use this method. In the name of revenge for Yuan, we control the people of Bingzhou; if this is the case, Yuan Tan's strength will greatly exceed ours! "After listening to Shen Pei's analysis, Yuan Shang sweated slightly on his forehead. Shen Pei said it right. This is the most terrifying thing. Yuan Tan has 70,000 to 80,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and Yuan Mai has 70,000 to 80,000 Bingzhou soldiers. ; If he kills Yuan Mai, Bingzhou's troops will probably turn to Yuan Tan, and then Yuan Tan's strength will greatly exceed his own. And if Yuan Mai does not die, Bingzhou and Qingzhou will be two groups of troops. In an alliance, they will not work together as well as if they belong to one lord. It is like two fists of two people, which are far less seamless than the two fists of one person. Feng Ji also agreed with Shen Ping: "Zheng Nan. Brother is right, I think so too. At present, the Jizhou Corps has 100,000 troops. In addition to the 20,000 troops stationed in Liyang, commanded by Han Meng, and the 20,000 troops stationed in Dongwuyang, commanded by Han Juzi and Su You, there are still 60,000 troops in the city; but these 60,000 troops But not all of them are your direct descendants" After hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shang felt even heavier and nodded: "Yes, there are also 15,000 Wen Chou people, who are probably not very obedient" "Yes. Yeah Wen Chou is absolutely loyal to his lord, but it's a pity that he can't bend his head" Feng Ji stroked his goatee with a regretful expression, "He said that the lord didn't designate a prince when he was awake, so no one planned to support him. , if you have to wait until the lord regains his consciousness, to figure out who to make as his heir, and then choose your supporters, do you think this is a one-brained thing? " Yuan Shang sneered: "This guy just lacks the strength. If I hadn't cursed my father, he would probably never wake up from now on. Will Hebei be left without a master forever? " Shen Pei also realized Wen Chou's problem: "Yes, keeping Wen Chou is also a hidden danger. If we can kill Yuan Tan and Yuan Mai together by surprise, and Wen Chou is willing to support the young master, we will continue to reuse his ability to lead the army. ; If this guy doesn't support it, we'll find an excuse to get rid of him. But if we only kill Yuan to buy one now, if Wen Chou turns to Yuan Tan and opens the city gate to meet the Qingzhou soldiers, the situation will be troublesome! " "Hiss Wen Chou is really a hidden danger! "Yuan Shang took a breath and said, "We'll try harder in the next few days. If we can't persuade him, we'll transfer him out of Yecheng; if he doesn't want to leave, we'll try to get rid of him! " Shen Pei and Feng Ji nodded at the same time, agreeing with Yuan Shang's point of view. The only regret is that if this is done, Hebei will lose another general, but compared to supporting Yuan Shang's stable power, they can only reluctantly give up. " In fact, I think we can take the opportunity to win over Yuan Mai this time and use him to deal with Yuan Tan! "Feng Ji's eyes flashed, as if he had a stroke of genius. Shen Pei thought for a moment and clapped his hands in agreement: "Good, good, good, Yuan Tu's method is good. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies; since Yuan Mai enters the city alone, we just take the opportunity to win over him. If we can create conflicts and break them up one by one, great things can be expected. If we can get Yuan Mai to turn to us, we can first help the Third Young Master to destroy Yuan Tan, and then go back to clean up Bingzhou. This way the situation will be better. Much easier! ¡± Yuan Shang¡¯s eyes turned and he quicklyHe accepted the suggestions of the two staff and said with a sinister smile: "Since both of you said this, I think it makes sense. It seems that I have to play a role and be a good brother?" Shen Pei He Feng Ji smiled at the acquaintance: "We must act like a loving brother and a filial son!" "Haha" The three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they were toying with the applause. At this moment, a shout sounded outside the mansion door: "Yuan Xianyong, the governor of Bingzhou, has arrived!"
