Chapter 289 Crazy Yuan Shao
"What?! Xier was killed by Ao Lie? It was so angry that I was so painful that I was so painful!" Yuan Shao was on the way to march, and after learning that Yuan Xi was killed, he roared to the sky, shook his body on the back of the horse, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down from the back of the horse. The generals and school strategists on both sides were so scared that they hurriedly turned over and dismounted to support Yuan Shao.
Everyone pinched Renzhong, stroked his chest, and knocked his back. Finally, Yuan Shao woke up, who was fainted. Yuan Shao woke up slowly and looked around the people around him. His eyes were empty at first, and then suddenly burst out with a vicious look. He reached out to touch the blood marks on the corner of his mouth and said gloomy: "Ao Mohan is trying to make my Yuan family have no successors! If you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous! Guo Tu, you sent someone to Xiliang to go to Xiliang at night and tell Li Jue and Guo Si that they would raise an army to attack Chang'an. Afterwards, I would like to divide Guanzhong with them and rule each other forever! They have been dormant in Xiliang for so long, and it is time to make some noise!"
It has to be said that Yuan Shao's move was ruthless. In order to restrain Ao Lie and disperse Ao Lie's troops and attention, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to form an alliance with Dong Zhuo's old subordinate Li Jue and Guo Si, and induce the two to lead their troops to attack Chang'an. Once Chang'an is broken, Luoyang will be in danger. With the relationship between Ao Lie and Liu Xie, Ao Lie will definitely not sit idly by and divide his troops to rescue Liu Xie. In this way, Yuan Shao has a large space for movement in Jizhou, and he can concentrate his superior forces at any time and attack Ao Lie's troops. Besides, Zhang Ji, who guards Chang'an, is the uncle of Ao Lie's junior brother Zhang Xiu, and Ao Lie will never see Zhang Ji defeated and killed.
However, even if Yuan Shao's reputation is completely bad, it would not be a glorious thing to be with Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. Besides, what is Luoyang? It was the back garden of the emperor Liu Xie, and the only territory commanded by Liu Xie himself. Yuan Shao colluded with Li Jue and Guo Si to attack Chang'an and Luoyang, which was no different from rebellion. If Ao Lie can be killed and Ao Lie's territory can be taken for himself, then with his huge military power and vast land, Yuan Shao can still shock the long mouths of the people of the world; but if he fails, Yuan Shao will never have a way out, and he will only have the path of ruining his reputation.
Yuan Shao has already made his promise at this moment. The revenge of killing his son has made Yuan Shao lose all his calmness. As long as he can kill Ao Lie to avenge Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao no longer cares about the others. Yuan Shao doesn't care. It doesn't mean that all the officials under his command don't care. After hearing that Yuan Shao is about to hook up with Li Jue and Guo Si, Feng Ji and others quickly stood up to dissuade him: "Lord, no! The alliance with Li Jue and Guo Si is a rebellion, and he will be ruined! Please think twice..."
Before everyone could finish their words, Yuan Shao jumped up from the ground and waved his hand to interrupt everyone's words, his face was gloomy: "No one should persuade him anymore, my intention has been decided! If anyone questioned the decision of this general, he will be killed without mercy!" The pain of losing his son is the most unbearable kind of harm Yuan Shao could bear. Yuan Shao's doting on his son is well known to everyone. Yuan Shao made this decision not only to avenge his son's revenge. What's more important is that Yuan Shao's pain of losing his son
Under the stimulation, he decided to take a bet. If things develop according to Yuan Shao's vision, Li Jue and Guo Si will break through Chang'an, Ao Lie will definitely divide his troops to protect Luoyang. Yuan Shao can take the opportunity to destroy Ao Lie's main force, then drive his troops north and take Ao Lie's territory for himself. Then he uses troops westwards and kills Liu Xie, Ao Lie, Li Jue, and Guo Si. At that time, who else in the world is Yuan Shao's opponent? It is within reach to become the king's hegemony!
The loyal and upright generals and counselors had hesitant expressions on their faces, as if they were still trying to persuade Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao reached out and pulled out his sword, threw it hard to the ground, and said loudly: "I have already said it just now. If anyone who questioned the decision of this general, he will be killed without mercy! Guo Tu. Why don't you go quickly!"
Guo Tu was also shocked by Yuan Shao's crazy thoughts. After a long time of reaction, he quickly replied: "Little man, let's arrange someone now. Oh, no, the villain goes to Xiliang in person. Be sure to convince Li Jue, Guo Si and the lord to form an alliance."
Yuan Shao snorted coldly, stopped talking, and with the help of his personal guards, turned his horse back, looked at the north gloomy, and murmured: "Ao Lie, this time, I will crush you to ashes!"
Ah--Ao Lie, who was sitting in the hall of Hejian City, suddenly sneezes. "Who is this? Is this so cruel curse of this marquis? Is it Yuan Shao?" Ah Lie rubbed his nose and felt a little more comfortable. After staying by Ah Lie for a long time, Zhuge Liang and others knew that Ah Lie had a statement about sneezing. One sneezing means someone was missing you; two sneezing means someone cursing you; as for three sneezing, in Ao Lie's statement, it must be a cold.
Although Ao Lie's tone seemed very relaxed, Zhuge Liang was unintentional to joke with Ao Lie and said solemnly: "Lord, it's really a bit hasty to kill Yuan Xi. Yuan Shao loved his son as his life. When he learned that Yuan Xi was dead, he might come up with some vicious plan, which would be detrimental to the lord. If Liang was by his side at that time, he would definitely prevent the lord from killing Yuan Xi. Wouldn't it be better to hold Yuan Xi in his hand to restrain Yuan Shao's mind and let him throw himself into a harassment?"
Those who dared to speak out about Ao Lie hasty, except for Tian Feng's big mouth, only Zhuge Liang dared to say this among the civil officials. Zhuge Liang had no doubt about Ao Lie's loyal city, so Ao Lie did not care about it. Instead, he chuckled and comforted Zhuge Liang: "Don't worry, Kong Ming, can you find any waves with Yuan Shao's thoughts? There are no foreign races on the territory of the Han Dynasty now. Yuan Shao wanted to collude with the Xiongnu and Wuhuan as before, and no one was willing to listen to him."
"That's right, but Liang always feels a little uneasy. It seems that something big is going to happen. Alas, I hope Liang is too concerned." Zhuge Liang said distressedly. In any case, Zhuge Liang is a human rather than a god. Without the ability to predict the future, he could not guess everyone's thoughts. Moreover, Zhuge Liang never expected that Yuan Shao would blatantly do something rebellious under the stimulation of losing his son. Not to mention Zhuge Liang, including Ao Lie and Cao Cao, I'm afraid no one in the world would have thought that Yuan Shao would risk his reputation and collude with Dong Zhuo's old subordinates in Xiliang.
Temporarily suppressed the trouble in his heart, Zhuge Liang talked about another topic: "By the way, lord, General Gao Lan was seriously injured and died last night." In the battle yesterday, Gao Lan took three shots of Ao Lie in order to protect Yuan Xi. Two of these shots were Ao Lie's peak work, and even infused the secret power of Wuji Nine Yang Gong in the Overlord Gun, and he left Gao Lan's five internal organs and vomited blood and fell off the horse. Afterwards, although Ao Lie asked the military medical officer to treat Gao Lan, Gao Lan was too seriously injured and died in the end.
After a while of silence, Ao Lie sighed with regret: "It's a pity that a general is a talented person. There are many talented people under Yuan Shao, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to use these people. Choose a Feng Shui treasure land in Hejian City and bury General Gao Lan with great burial."
"Report to the lord!" Zhang He suddenly stood up and said, "My general had a deep friendship with Gao Lan brothers in the past. Today, Gao Lan brothers unfortunately died. I hope to bury his corpse with his own hands." Zhang He felt deeply regretful of Gao Lan, but he also knew that Ao Lie could not blame this. If you want to blame, you can only blame Yuan Xi, the second-generation ancestor who is too good at fighting.
Ao Lie agreed without any hesitation: "Okay, let's leave this matter to Junyi (Zhang He's name). You must follow the general's etiquette and be buried with the glory."
In the next few days, the battlefield in the north fell into the same silence as the battlefield in the south. Yuan Shao came with a 300,000 army. However, he set up a camp fifty miles outside Hejian City, and then there was no other movement. Ao Lie thought about it and could not guess what Yuan Shao was thinking. Even Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu, who had always been good at guessing people's hearts, could not guess Yuan Shao's thoughts at all.
In desperation, Ao Lie sent Zhao Yun to challenge Yuan Jun camp in a tentative manner, but no matter how Zhao Yun's soldiers scolded him, Yuan Shao never sent a soldier. He looked like a turtle with his head. Yuan Shao's reaction aroused the doubts of Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu. Logically, the pain of losing his son was not so easy to bear. According to Yuan Shao's temper, he should have been in a hurry to fight Ao Lie. Why can't he hide? If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu clearly believed that Yuan Shao must be brewing this huge conspiracy, but what is the specific content of this conspiracy? They both wanted to break their heads and couldn't guess it. Even the Shadow members, who have always been omnipresent, failed this time, and they could not find out the root cause of Yuan Shao's strange movements.
During the days when Yuan Shao couldn't hide, Guo Tu ran west with more than a dozen personal soldiers, exhausted several good horses along the way, and finally arrived in Xiliang in the shortest time.
The current situation in Xiliang is very different from the historical situation. In the entire Liangzhou, several groups of people were intertwined, and each force wanted to annex the other, but they were not sure. Therefore, the situation of Liangzhou being divided by several princes was like a microcosm of the Han territory, full of war everywhere.
Among the several forces entrenched in Liangzhou, Li Jue and Guo Si are the most powerful, and they used to play under Dong Zhuo's command and had a good personal relationship with each other. Therefore, the two are the largest forces in Xiliang. In addition to these two, Han Sui from Jincheng and Ma Teng from Xiliang are also two relatively powerful people. Secondly, there are some tribes composed of Qiang people, entrenched in the northern part of Liangzhou, circling and rushing on the border of the Han Dynasty, and invading the Han people in Liangzhou from time to time.
After Guo Tu came to Liangzhou, he immediately felt that the folk customs here were fierce. Like the new states that Ao Lie had newly captured, it was full of the atmosphere of aliens. It was a large state where Han and Qiang people lived in a mixed manner. When he came to the hall of Liangzhou Prefecture, Guo Tu saw Li Jue and Guo Si sitting side by side in the main seat, with two pairs of eyes flashing brightly, looking at him without a moment.
Clearing his throat, Guo Tu said, "The two generals, the villain is the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the subordinate of the Duke Yuan of Jizhou. At the order of my lord, I will come to analyze the general trend with the two generals."
Li Jue has always been the spokesperson of the two. After hearing Guo Tu's statement, he asked in confusion: "The world is in general? What does it have to do with us brothers? Our brothers are delicious and spicy in Liangzhou, and live a very comfortable life, and do not want to get involved in the matters of the Central Plains."
"Otherwise, please think about it carefully. If one day the Central Plains region is unified, can the two generals still be as free and comfortable as they are now? As the saying goes, how can others snore on the side of the bed? At that time, the two generals will definitely be regarded as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh, and they will have nowhere to settle down." Guo Tu brought out the words he had already thought of.
Li Jue laughed and said, "Unified the Central Plains? It's going to be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? Besides, who has that ability? When the Central Plains are unified, maybe the bones of our brothers will be decayed."
Guo Tu smiled and said, "No. General must know the two people, the little overlord Ao Lie and Cao Mengde? When he was fighting Dong Zhe, uh, when he was fighting with Tai Shi Dong, the performance of these two people must still be fresh in memory, right? Once these two people get the world, the good days of the two generals will be over."
When talking about Ao Lie and Cao Cao, Li Jue and Guo Si's eyes also showed resentment and fear mixed together. Dong Zhuo can be said to have died at the hands of these two people. How could Li and Guo forget? If what Guo Tu said really became a reality, then they should really consider the way out.
After looking at each other, Guo Si asked, "Do you know what Yuan Cheqi has to think?"
Guo Tu laughed in his heart and said seriously: "Today, the only one who can fight against Ao Lie and Cao Cao is my lord. But after all, two fists cannot beat four hands. Based on the idea that the enemy is a friend, my lord let the villain come here, intending to form an alliance with the two generals. My lord restrain Ao Lie and Cao Cao's main army in the Central Plains. The two generals took the opportunity to lead the crowd to attack Chang'an and Luoyang. In this way, it will lead to Ao Lie and Cao Cao running away and defeat without fighting. My lord also said that after the matter is completed, the two generals and our lord divide the boundary between Guanzhong, the two generals from Guanzhong to the east, and the two families will always form an alliance and never invade!"
Although Guo Tu is a complete villain, he is very eloquent, otherwise he would not have won Yuan Shao's favor. Under Guo Tu's clever words, Li Jue and Guo Si were quite moved, but after all, it was important and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he asked Guo Tu to rest in the inn. The two were about to discuss it carefully.
