Can I get to the other side?

"What does Uncle Shi mean by this?" Yuan Xi was confused by Xu You's words and did not understand the deeper meaning of his words. "The Imperial Guard is the emperor's army and is responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety. How could they listen to me?" transfer order?"

Xu You looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Second Young Master, do you remember another rumor that has been circulating in Ye City recently?"

Yuan Xi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle Shi is talking about...the rumor that my father is holding the emperor hostage?"

Of course he had heard of this rumor, and he was a little happy at that time, so he directly found a reasonable and legal reason for his imprisoned father.

Although he didn't know who spread this rumor, it did no harm to him, and many people believed it, so he just let it go.

Of course, he didn't have the guts to add fuel to the flames, he just didn't admit it or refute it.

"That's right." Xu You nodded and said leisurely: "Now that the second young master imprisoned his father has been exposed, if the second young master does not want to be infamous, he can only use this rumor to make it true."

"From now on, the Second Young Master is not a rebellious son who killed his brother and imprisoned his father, but a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who had no choice but to kill his relatives for the sake of the people of the world and the Han Dynasty!"

"Second Young Master can now use the name Qing Junzi to obtain the help of the Imperial Guards."

It is said that a teacher must have a reputation. If you want to succeed, you can't do it without occupying a righteous name. Yuan Xi has done something that violates filial piety, so he can only use the name of "Loyal to the Emperor"!

Yuan Xi frowned and said: "This is just a rumor. I can't even deceive myself, let alone make your majesty believe it? Besides, Zhang He and Gao Lan are my father's generals. It's good that they don't do anything to me now. How can they help me?" ”

It was a good idea to deceive the emperor into asking the imperial guards to help, but in fact it was impossible because the emperor would not believe it, and Zhang He and Gao Lan would not help him deal with Yuan Shao.

"Second Young Master, I don't understand."

Xu You explained his plan: "Your Majesty is actually unable to mobilize the imperial guards. Now the one who can really mobilize the imperial guards is Zhang He Gaolan. They are guarding the emperor on your father's orders."

"However, although they are your father's people, the guards are not. Those guards don't know that your father is holding the emperor hostage. In their eyes, they are the real emperor's guards."

"So as long as we bypass His Majesty, bypass Zhang He and General Gao Lan, and directly use the name of Qingjun to deceive the imperial guards and ask them to help, then everything can still turn around!"

"The Imperial Guards are all in Beiya now. I will help the Second Young Master lure Zhang He Gaolan away. The Second Young Master will take the opportunity to deceive the Imperial Guards and go to suppress the city defense army."

Yuan Xi was still hesitant after hearing this. He always felt that Xu You's words were unrealistic. He wanted to trick the imperial guards into helping him with just a few words. No matter how he thought about it, he felt outrageous. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a fantasy.

I couldn't help but ask: "The risks of this plan are too great, and is it really feasible? Can the Imperial Guard be deceived by me so easily?"

Xu You said in a deep voice: "Second Young Master, if you die now, you will die, if you have a great plan, you will die! Waiting to die, how about fighting to the death? Overcoming the current predicament is the most important thing now. As for the consequences, we can only consider them after we survive. of."

"If the Second Young Master is unwilling to do this, then quickly follow me and escape from the east gate, and find a remote place in a poor country to survive, where you can still spend the rest of your life peacefully."

Hearing these words, Yuan Xi suddenly became entangled.

The plan Xu You mentioned is indeed outrageous and unrealistic, but... there is indeed a chance of success!

What if!

After repeated consideration, Yuan Xi was still unwilling to live the rest of his life, and said with sharp eyes: "Then we will do as Uncle Shi said!"

"good!"

A hint of joy flashed in Xu You's eyes, and he warned: "Second Young Master, please remember that when the time comes to break into the General's Mansion, you must kill your father as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain the reputation of destroying relatives for justice!"

Yuan Xi was startled when he heard this and looked at Xu You warily, "Isn't Uncle Shi and my father a running friend? Why..."

A trace of gloom flashed in Xu You's eyes, and he said with hatred: "The judge framed my wife for being greedy for food and salary. Your father only believed in the judge and even refused to allow me to pay the penalty in lieu of punishment. Does the second young master really think that your father allowed the judge to let him go?" Is there no resentment in my heart for killing my wife and children?"

Yuan Xi understood instantly, and at the same time, he also dispelled the last doubt in his heart about Xu You.

He felt that Xu You's coming to help him was too abrupt, but if it was for the purpose of asking him to kill his father Yuan Shao for revenge, that would be understandable.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry."

Yuan Xi took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I, Yuan Xi, am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who killed his relatives for justice! I will never be soft this time! If I fail in the end, I will not expose Uncle Shi."

"Just... thanks Uncle Shi for helping me this time."

No matter what purpose Xu You had, Yuan Xi thanked him for giving him advice at such a critical time and providing a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

After the two plotted, Yuan Xi looked at General Pi who was waiting anxiously not far away, and told him: "Go and notify your general, and I will rush over to support you soon, so that he must hold on for a while longer!"

"promise!"

General Pi quickly agreed, mounted his horse and left.

Xu You and Yuan Xi also set off for Beiya.

The Praetorian Guards were not scattered throughout the palace.

There are only about three hundred guardsmen who usually guard and patrol various parts of the palace. The rest spend most of their time training in Beiyali and will only be dispatched in an emergency when encountering major events.

After the two arrived outside the North Court, Yuan Xi waited in secret, while Xu You went straight to the North Court and found Zhang He and Gao Lan who were training naked.

"Two generals, His Majesty ordered you to go to the Xuanshi Hall to meet him. There are important matters to be told."

Zhang He frowned and said, "His Majesty has an edict. Shouldn't the eunuch be sent to deliver it? Why did you come? Are you deceiving me?"

Xu You said, "How dare I falsely convey His Majesty's order? You two should not delay. Follow me quickly. If you are late, His Majesty will be angry."

Zhang He hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed the clothes placed aside and put them on, and then left with Xu You and Gao Lan.

"Success!"

Yuan Xi couldn't help but get excited when he saw this, so he strode into the North Court, ready to summon the Imperial Guards to speak, but when he passed by the place where Zhang He had just put his clothes, something caught his attention.

It was a token.

"The Imperial Guards' Tiger Talisman!"

Yuan Xi's eyes widened. He never expected that Zhang He would actually leave this thing behind. His heart suddenly began to beat violently. He took advantage of the moment and grabbed it in his hand.

With the Tiger Talisman, his chances of mobilizing the Imperial Guards would be greatly increased!

God really helps him!

With the Tiger Talisman in hand, Yuan Xi no longer hesitated. He immediately went to the inner part of the Northern Yamen and showed the Tiger Talisman to the Imperial Guards who were training in the parade ground. He spoke loudly.

"Imperial Guards, listen to my orders! The traitor Yuan Shao is a traitor and is holding the emperor hostage! His Majesty has ordered that you follow me to kill the traitor! To clear the emperor's side!"

"Here is the Tiger Talisman! Those who disobey will be beheaded!"

All the Imperial Guards looked at each other, but soon they all bowed their hands and saluted, and responded fiercely:

"Yes!"

Yuan Xi was a little stunned when he saw this.

Did they really listen to him?

He couldn't help but glance at the tiger talisman in his hand. It seemed that the weight of this thing was more powerful than he imagined. Even without Zhang He and Gao Lan, he could mobilize the imperial guards.

…

After an incense stick, Yuan Xi led the assembled, fully armed imperial guards of a thousand men, and left the Northern Yamen in a mighty manner, heading towards the General's Mansion.

Not far away, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Xu You watched him leave before coming out from the dark.

"Is it really okay?"

Zhang He was very worried and asked with some concern: "If the Imperial Guards fail to kill Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will certainly suspect Your Majesty."

Xu You stroked his beard and smiled, "That's why I didn't let the two generals show up. If you don't show up, it means that Yuan Xi stole the tiger talisman and falsely passed on the emperor's edict to mobilize the Imperial Guards. What does it have to do with Your Majesty?"

"The two generals are at most derelict in their duties."

"Compared with the benefits brought by killing Yuan Shao, this risk is nothing... Thank you for your cooperation just now."

If it weren't for Zhang He and Gao Lan cooperating with him, and taking the initiative to instruct the Imperial Guards to wait for instructions, and leaving the tiger talisman to dispel Yuan Xi's suspicion, it would never have been so smooth.

Gao Lan said: "There are only fifty Imperial Guards guarding the palace now. We should go back quickly to protect Your Majesty in person to prevent any villains from harming Your Majesty."

Xu You nodded. This time the situation was urgent. He took the initiative to mobilize the Imperial Guards and needed to apologize to the emperor.

…

Outside the General’s Mansion.

The guards of the three city gates on the west, south, and north sides have come with 4,000 city defense troops, surrounding the General’s Mansion and blocking it completely.

Seeing such a large battle, the soldiers of the Tiger Camp also quickly gathered and blocked the entrance of the General’s Mansion, confronting the city defense troops.

“How dare you! This is the General’s Mansion! Are you here to cause trouble?” The deputy general of the Tiger Camp shouted angrily, and at the same time, he looked at the many city defense troops in front of him vigilantly, full of doubts and confusion.

Why did the city defense troops suddenly come? And it seems that they are here with bad intentions.

"Rebellion?"

The South Gate Guard sneered and pointed his knife at the Tiger Camp Deputy General: "You are the real rebels! The general's wife told us the truth, and your imprisonment of the general has been exposed!"

"If you know what's good for you, put down your weapons and surrender! The general may spare your lives; but if you continue to resist, your whole family will be implicated!"

The Tiger Camp Deputy General's face suddenly changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said solemnly: "Nonsense! The general was clearly angry at the traitor Yuan Shang and is still bedridden!"

"You said that the general's wife told you the so-called truth, where is the lady? Please ask the lady to come out and prove it for you!"

"If you can't get the lady, then you are lying!"

The South Gate Guard's expression stagnated slightly when he heard the words. He came here prepared for a battle. In order to prevent Madam Liu from being in danger, he asked her to wait for news in the city gate tower.

Just when the South Gate Guard was hesitating whether to send someone to invite Madam Liu, the North Gate Guard reminded him: "Don't waste time talking to him, he is stalling for time to wait for the second son to come back! We have to rush in as soon as possible to rescue the general!"

The South Gate Guard woke up from his dream, knowing that he was almost fooled, and ordered angrily: "All soldiers, listen to my order! Follow me to attack the general's mansion! Rescue the general!"

"Anyone who blocks us will be killed without mercy!"

After that, he led the way and rushed forward!

Many city defense troops followed closely behind!

"Damn it!"

The deputy general of the Tiger Camp knew that this battle was inevitable, but he also knew that these people could not be allowed to enter the general's mansion. It must be delayed until Yuan Xi came back!

So he drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Stop these traitors! Don't let them step into the mansion! Kill!"

"Kill!!"

The soldiers of both sides fought fiercely to one place.

The West Gate Guard had been deliberately leading the team behind the city defense army. Seeing this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes and ordered: "West Gate soldiers listen to my order! The guards of the East, South and North Gates want to make trouble, and they will be severely punished immediately! Don't let them rush in and harm the general!"

"Kill!!"

He led a thousand West Gate guards and attacked the guards of the other three gates from behind.

Turning against the enemy in the battle instantly caused chaos in the formation of many city defense troops!

Killed by surprise!

The South Gate Guard killed a soldier of the Tiger Camp with a knife. Hearing the sound of fighting behind him, he turned around and looked. Seeing this scene, he was shocked!

"Are these people from Ximen crazy?"

He never thought that the Ximen defenders who came with him would actually show their butcher knives to them and betray them in the battle!

The North Gate Guard gritted his teeth and said, "The people from Ximen have already colluded with the Second Young Master! They are also traitors! I will resist them, and you continue to attack the General's Mansion!"

After that, he immediately turned around and led his men to fight against the Ximen City Defense Army.

The South Gate Guard had a gloomy face. After cursing, he continued to lead his troops to attack the General's Mansion, and the offensive became more fierce.

The deputy general of the Tiger Camp saw that the opposite city defense army suddenly had internal strife, and the Ximen defenders and other city defense troops started killing each other. He also instantly understood what was going on and felt excited.

"With the help of the Ximen defenders, we will definitely be able to hold on until the Second Young Master comes back!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt full of strength all over his body, and the knife in his hand became more powerful when he swung it, and he went forward to fight with the city defense army again.

...

At the same time, in the General's Mansion.

Ju Shou and the other two also heard the fighting outside the mansion, and immediately realized that Madam Liu had successfully spread the news and brought the city defense army to support. While excited, the three did not intend to just wait.

"I just went to see that the defenders in the mansion have gone out to fight with the city defense army. There are only five soldiers left to guard the lord."

"There are still weapons in the storehouse in the mansion. Let's rescue the lord to prevent them from threatening the lord's life in the end!"

Ju Shou proposed, his blood boiling.

His proposal was unanimously agreed by Shen Pei and Tian Feng, so the three went to the storehouse, took swords and ran towards the small courtyard where Yuan Shao was imprisoned.

Although they were all scholars, they were not the kind of weak ones. On the contrary, their martial arts value was quite good, especially Shen Pei, who was tall and had a lot of experience in killing enemies.

After the three quietly came to the outside of Yuan Shao's courtyard, they found an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. After a fight, they killed five guarding soldiers from the Tiger Camp and then rushed into Yuan Shao's wing.

"My Lord!"

Ju Su dropped the bloody long knife in his hand and said to Yuan Shao excitedly: "I have listened to the Lord's order and asked my wife to go out of the house to bring the city defense army to help!"

"Now the city defense army is fighting fiercely with the rebels, please evacuate this place quickly and go outside to take charge of the overall situation!"
