Can I get to the other side?

The word "Your Majesty" in Xu You's mouth made Jushou's heart skip a beat. His eyes fell on the letter, and he felt something was wrong.

Yuan Shao took the letter and read it carefully with some suspicion.

"General, your words are as clear as your face, your confidence is as good as your face."

"I heard that the great general's family was shocked, and that the traitor Yuan Xi used my name to slander the general. I couldn't help but sigh in sorrow and couldn't sleep."

"Although I wanted to prove the general's innocence, the thieves were so powerful that I dared to get angry but dare not speak out. I could only live in a deep palace and let them wreak havoc in Ye City."

"I wonder how the general is doing now? Where is he?"

…

After Yuan Shao read the entire letter, he turned his attention to Xu You and asked: "Ziyuan, apart from this letter, has your Majesty told you anything else?"

"have!"

Xu You nodded quickly and said: "Your Majesty also said that the traitor Yuan Xi was arrogant and rampant, forcing him to grant him the rank of Taiwei every day. Although he never gave it, he was unavoidably worried in his heart. He hoped that the general could lead his troops to fight back as soon as possible. Yecheng.”

"If I hadn't tried my best to persuade him, I'm afraid your majesty would have escaped from Yecheng with me this time and come to find the lord."

Xu You's face was full of sadness and emotion.

After hearing what he said, Yuan Shao looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little complicated.

Although he is just a small person, he can feel this loyalty. If Liu Xie really wanted to turn the lie into the truth as Jushu said, then why bother looking for him after getting rid of him?

You must know that after escaping from Yecheng, he was no longer able to control Liu Xie's life and death. Liu Xie could publicly declare that he was a traitor, and then use that evil son Yuan Xi to recruit troops, defend Ye City, and at the same time order all the princes to be diligent.

No matter how hard it was, Yuan Xi could have asked him to take him out of Yecheng and go to look for Lu Bu and Liu Bei, but Liu Xie did not do this, and instead wanted to find him.

Would such a person be an ambitious person?

Yuan Shao had 10,000 disbeliefs in his heart.

Putting the letter into his sleeve, Yuan Shao said to Xu You: "Send someone to compile a letter and send it to Your Majesty. Let Your Majesty wait at ease in Yecheng. When I solve the serious problem of Gongsun Zan, I will lead the troops to attack back."

"That scoundrel has already been labeled as unfilial, and I don't dare to be labeled as unfaithful again. He will not do anything extraordinary to His Majesty, so Your Majesty can rest assured."

Yuan Shao was not worried that Yuan Xi would take action against the emperor.

In the world, only he, Ju Shou, and the real emperors on Cao Cao's side knew about Liu Xie's identity as a pseudo-emperor, and Yuan Xi had no idea about it at all.

This time Yuan Xi is using the name of being a traitor to the emperor and destroying relatives for justice. If he disrespects the emperor again, it will be disloyal and unfilial. The world will not tolerate it, and no one will continue to follow him.

Xu You nodded heavily: "Lord, don't worry!"

After explaining these things, Yuan Shao said to Jushu who was silent on the side: "Gongyu, you go and formulate a strategy and plan with Ziyuan to resist Gongsun Zan. We will take a look at it after I wake up."

Jushou had no choice but to leave with Xu You.

After the two of them walked out of the small courtyard, Jushou glanced at Xu You and asked as if he didn't care: "Where did Ziyuan hide during those days in Yecheng? As the guard of Dongmen City, Yuan Xi will definitely be satisfied. The city searched for your whereabouts, but you were not caught? "

After Yuan Xi took over Yecheng, the first thing he did was to clear out Yuan Shao's remnants. Xu You, as Yuan Shao's most effective adviser, actually escaped Yuan Xi's search, met the emperor, and escaped to report the news?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu You sighed and said: "That day, after I saw the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan fainting, I knew that the matter was irreversible, so I went directly to the palace to meet His Majesty and seek refuge from Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty asked me to hide in the palace, and I escaped Yuan Xi's search. After a few days, the situation calmed down a little, and then I asked the two generals to help send me away."

"Why, Gongyu suspects that I secretly voted for Yuan Xi?"

Hearing this, Jushou smiled and said, "Ziyuan, where are you talking? You have a deep friendship with the general. How could I doubt you? I'm just asking out of curiosity."

"Speaking of which, the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan were able to be knocked unconscious by Yuan Xi's tricks. It's really bizarre that Yuan Xi didn't kill them."

Xu You shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Maybe it's because Yuan Xi still wants to recruit them. After all, as long as the general is dead, what can Zhang He Gao Lan do besides surrendering to him?"

"That's true." Jushou smiled and said pointedly: "As long as you don't betray the general and secretly join your majesty, that's fine. But I guess the two generals wouldn't do that. Ziyuan, don't you think so?"

Xu You's expression changed slightly, and he was about to answer, but Jushou changed the topic again.

"I just said it casually. Ziyuan doesn't need to take it seriously. You've been running all the way, so you'd better go down and rest first. We'll make plans later tonight."

After saying that, Jushou left directly.

Xu You looked at his leaving back, the smile on his face disappeared little by little, and a trace of deep fear and murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.

He understood that what Ju Shou had just said was definitely not a casual statement, but had cast deep doubts on the Imperial Guards, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the emperor in the palace.

The object of suspicion even included him!

If not, how could Jushou say such words to him for no reason? This is both a temptation and a warning.

"We must find a way to get rid of Jushou."

Xu You listed Ju Sue as the first target for eradication in his mind. This person was much more dangerous than Shen Pei and Tian Feng, and his staying would definitely be detrimental to the emperor.

…

The changes in Yecheng cannot be concealed.

Not long after Yuan Shao escaped from Yecheng, everything that happened in Yecheng quickly spread to the outside world and caused a great shock.

The brothers of the Yuan family killed each other, Yuan Xi killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and Yuan Shao, who was a model for the world, turned out to be a traitor who held the emperor hostage!

This really subverts people's three views.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao also let people release the news, saying that Yuan Xi was talking nonsense. This incident was not for the purpose of scheming against the emperor, but for killing his father and seizing power.

For a time, scholars and common people all over the world were talking about it.

"Brothers killed each other, father and son became enemies... The Yuan family is really unfortunate that such a big scandal happened."

"It's probably because Yuan Xi said that in order to seize power. Yuan Benchu ​​is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. How could he kidnap the emperor?"

"Yes, even the false emperor was killed by him."

"Isn't Yuan Xi also killing his relatives out of justice? I heard that he has severed the father-son relationship with Yuan Shao now. Both father and son now want to kill each other."

"What a big show."

"Is it possible that Yuan Benchu ​​really held the emperor hostage? After all, even his own son said so, and he even committed patricide. It feels very credible."

"I can't tell, I really can't tell."

…

As Liu Xie had expected, with the spread of the scandal involving Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi's father and son, Yuan Shao and even the Yuan family's reputation had a huge negative impact.

After all, it is true that Yuan Xi imprisoned his father and mutilated his siblings. Unless it is finally proven that Yuan Shao is the traitor who held the emperor hostage, Yuan Xi can be cleared and become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

But the price was that Yuan's reputation was ruined.

Because the two leaders of the Yuan family's generation, Yuan Shu arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, and Yuan Shao held the emperor hostage, were all rebels. How could the Yuan family have the face to claim to be the pillar of the Han Dynasty after being the fourth generation and the third prince?

If Yuan Shao wins in the end, then Yuan Xi will become an unfilial son who mutilates his siblings and even dares to attack his own father. Naturally, the Yuan family will inevitably have a reputation of being a scumbag with unhealthy family traditions.

When Cao Cao of Xu County heard the news, he was so happy that he laughed so hard in front of all his subordinates that he ignored his image.

"I was imprisoned and hunted by my own son, and even driven out of Yecheng! Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, you too have today! Hahahaha!"

"Having a son should be like Yuan Xianyi!"

Cao Cao laughed heartily, and all the long-term gloomy mood was wiped away at this moment. He now wished he could go to the emperor to commend Yuan Xi!

What a great job!

"It is said that most of the Jizhou aristocratic families have taken refuge in the false emperor created by Yuan Shao, even Yuan Xi himself. This man's scheming in the city must be extraordinary, and he may become a serious problem for Duke Ming."

Xun You sighed with emotion. After he received the letter from the Xun family, he couldn't believe it.

The false emperor Yuan Shao established actually became the biggest winner.

Even his uncle Xun Chen intended to let him and Xun Yu surrender to the puppet emperor.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was also startled by Yuan Shao's false emperor. He thought to himself: Fortunately, the emperor of Xu County is the real emperor. He was raised in the hands of women since he was a child, hidden in the deep palace, and his scheming methods are clumsy.

Xun Yu also smiled and said: "After this incident, Yuan Shao's reputation will definitely take a major blow, and this will become a stain that he cannot wash away. The crisis of Ming Gong can be relieved for the time being."

When Yuan Shao's reputation was growing day by day, something like this suddenly happened, which was undoubtedly great news for them, and they were happy to see Yuan Shao embarrassed.

Cao Cao said sarcastically: "Yuan Benchu ​​claims to be a model for the world, but he can't even discipline his own son. It's really a shame!"

"In this Yecheng Incident, I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​not only died of a young son, but also several of his most trusted advisors. It can be said to be a heavy loss."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt something in his heart and asked Xun You and Xun Yu:

"Gongsun Zan is currently sending troops to attack Jizhou... Do you think I should also add fuel to the fire, take this opportunity to send troops, and attack Yuan Shao from front to back with Gongsun Zan?"

Jizhou's internal and external troubles present a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he could eradicate Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, destroy the false emperor and capture Jizhou at the same time, the benefits to him would be unimaginable!

But this proposal was rejected by Xun You as soon as it came out.

"Ming Gong, although Yuan Shao is currently in trouble internally and externally, it is not a good time for us to send troops. Don't forget that Yuan Tan is by his side."

"If troops are sent to attack Jizhou, Yuan Tan will definitely not sit idly by and take the opportunity to send troops to Yanzhou or even Yuzhou!"

After Xun You said this, Cao Cao came to his senses.

Qingzhou and Yanzhou are adjacent, and Yuan Tan leads an army to sit there, watching with eager eyes. He just looked at the benefits of seizing Jizhou, but forgot about the threats around him.

"It's a pity." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, but he was still a little unwilling. "Is there nothing we can do? We can only sit back and watch Yuan Shao clean up the mess little by little?"

"This is too cheap for him."

Cao Cao knew in his heart that once this opportunity was missed, it would be difficult to come across it again. When Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he would inevitably mobilize his troops to retake Yecheng. It was impossible for Yuan Xi to hold it.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. If my lord can convince Lu Bu to send troops to attack Qingzhou and leave Yuan Tan free, then we can take the opportunity to send troops to Jizhou."

"That's all."

Cao Cao refused without thinking.

Lü Bu supported the emperor of Yecheng and was in the same camp as Yuan Shao. He would never help him contain Yuan Tan and let him attack Jizhou. They were mortal enemies just in terms of their positions.

Moreover, there were many deep hatreds between him and Lü Bu, and Zhang Xiu was also under Lü Bu's command.

He should just have fun.

Let's see how Yuan Shao will end up.

If he can't end up, don't blame his old friend for taking the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat.

…

Yangzhou, Shou County.

Lü Bu also received a letter from Yecheng, and learned about the shocking changes in Yecheng and Liu Xie's current situation.

"Your Majesty is worthy of it! You can make Yuan Shao suffer such a big loss and even lose Yecheng. You are really wise and brave!"

Lü Bu said with great admiration.

In the letter, Liu Xie explained to him everything that had happened in Yecheng during this period, such as instigating Yuan Xi to kill his father, murdering Yuan Shao, and asking Jia Xu to find Gongsun Zan with a secret letter.

It was wonderful!

Lu Bu could not think of how Liu Xie completed this series of plans in that small palace, hiding behind the scenes, and even let Yuan Shao not notice it at all!

After reading this secret letter, Chen Gong could not help but sigh: "Your Majesty's foresight is amazing, but it's a pity that he failed to do his best and kill Yuan Shao in one fell swoop."

"Isn't this simple?" Lu Bu snorted coldly, with murderous intent on his face, "Anyway, Your Majesty is not being controlled by Yuan Shao now, why does he need Zhang Liao to lead the troops? This general will go there in person, lead the troops to kill Yuan Shao, and welcome Your Majesty to Xuzhou!"

There were two reasons why he didn't dare to act before. One was that he didn't bring enough soldiers and food at the time, and the other was that Liu Xie was still in Yuan Shao's hands, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Now Yuan Shao is not in Yecheng, but is resisting Gongsun Zan in Hejian County, so what is there to be afraid of?

Just do it directly to Yuan Shao!

Lu Bu is a man of action. After this idea came up, he directly picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji and was about to count the troops and horses, and the army went straight to Jizhou.

"Stop! Stop!"

Chen Gong was shocked when he saw this, and hurried to stop Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said unhappily: "Why did Gongtai stop me?"

Chen Gong sighed and said: "Killing Yuan Shao is easy, but can the general bear the infamy after killing Yuan Shao? He is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty in the eyes of the world!"

"General, why do you think your majesty has to go through all kinds of plans to let Yuan Xi kill Yuan Shao? I just don't want to bear this infamy!"

Chen Gong really felt helpless about Lu Bu.

This guy doesn't understand what is a plan or a strategy. He only knows how to fight and kill. It's too vulgar.

"What a hassle."

Lü Bu didn't understand Chen Gong's twists and turns, and felt a headache. How could a traitor like Yuan Shao be called a loyal minister?

He, Lü Fengxian, was the real loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!

Chen Gong didn't want to explain to him, but just said: "General, just follow your Majesty's orders, and immediately order Wen Yuan to lead 10,000 troops to Yecheng."

"Yecheng is Yuan Shao's base camp, with an excellent geographical location and abundant food. With 10,000 troops guarding it, Yuan Shao can't take it back."

"In this way, your Majesty's safety can be guaranteed, and you can also seize the entire Jizhou based on Yecheng. This is your Majesty's real plan."

"Besides, there is a constant war with Sun Ce now, how can the general leave Yangzhou?"

Lü Bu hesitated, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, Gongtai, you will immediately send an order to Zhang Liao and let him set off immediately."

...

At the same time.

Qingzhou, Beihai County

"If I follow the imperial order and raise an army to contain Yuan Tan, it means that I recognize his status as the emperor."

"But if I don't respect the imperial edict, the chance of the Han Dynasty's revival will be destroyed because of me..."

Kong Rong looked at the imperial edict sent from Yecheng in his hand, and his eyes showed a standard fan-shaped pattern, with three parts of admiration, three parts of ecstasy, two parts of shock, and two parts of hesitation.
