Chapter 127: Cao and Liu meet

ps: Thank you for the mediocrity self-disturbance 123xx, and the reward of the two brothers who chased after the goddess!

In the camp of the Yuan army in the rear, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao, who received the edict of the Son of Heaven, after reading it, smiled coldly, threw the edict to the ground, and said with disdain and anger: "What a Cao Mengde, just held the Son of Heaven hostage, he can't wait to prepare for the next Dong Zhuo, and he actually ordered me to withdraw from the army with the order of the Son of Heaven, otherwise it will be disobedient to the Son of Heaven and intend to rebel, okay, really good!" โ€

Xu You, who was under Yuan Shao, picked up the edict of the Son of Heaven and looked at it carefully, thought about it, and asked the envoy sent by Yan Liang: "In General Yan's explanation, in addition to this edict, are there other things?" โ€

"Back to the military division, there is indeed another one, which is a secret letter written by Guo Jia under Cao Cao, which arrived with the edict of the Son of Heaven!"

Yuan Shao, who was still a little puzzled and asked a question, heard this, and said to the messenger: "Oh, present that letter!" โ€

The messenger took the letter from his bosom by mistake, stepped forward respectfully, and handed it to Yuan Shao's hand, after taking the letter, Yuan Shao opened it and looked at it carefully, which made Yuan Shao's face become more and more ugly, and finally shouted directly: "Cao Apu, you are not a son of man!" โ€

"My lord, why are you angry?"

Yuan Shao's sudden anger made Xu You below startled, but he also felt curious, you know, he rarely saw Yuan Shao so angry.

"Ziyuan, look at it, look at it, he Cao Agui, he threatens me like this, it's really hateful!"

Xu You, who respectfully stepped forward to take the letter in Yuan Shao's hand, read the letter at a glance, his face also changed, and after closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, he just thought of something, and when he was about to say to Yuan Shao, he opened his eyes, but saw Yuan Shao's hesitant look, which made Xu You's heart skip a beat, and secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, there was no surprise to Xu You or his understanding of Yuan Shao, only Yuan Shao, who was on the top, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Xu You: "Ziyuan, although Cao A's move is really hateful, but Jizhou is the foundation of the place, if it is lost, then the situation is definitely not good, Gongsun Chan of Youzhou, thinking about attacking Jizhou all the time, this edict of the Son of Heaven, can be said to give him a legitimate opportunity, in my opinion, it is better to withdraw the army first, and prevent Gongsun Chan of Youzhou." โ€

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, why are you so confused!

Although he was angry in his heart and scolded Yuan Shao, Xu You's face did not dare to show it, so he could only say to Yuan Shao very anxiously: "Lord, Cao Apu is like this, it means that he is already afraid, under the siege of 200,000 troops, he Cao Apu is difficult to fly, at this time, he must not retreat, he should be in one go, break through the tiger prison, and capture the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven is in hand, even if Jizhou is lost, it is not a big deal, not to mention, Jizhou has General Wen leading 200,000 troops to guard, Gunuo Jintang, The chances of losing are too slim. โ€

Xu You's fierce opposition made Yuan Shao stunned for a moment, and then he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Yuan Shao, who was wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, didn't think that Xu You was so for his own consideration, he only felt that he was despised by Xu You, and was swept away by Xu You, and the unhappiness in his heart made Yuan Shao's voice sink down, and said with a hint of scolding: "Xu You, you are presumptuous, this is a big deal, how can you think of it, not to mention, if today, it is already in Cao Cao's hands, if it is an attack, then let the world think of me Yuan Shao!" โ€

Looking at Xu You's somewhat stunned gaze, Yuan Shao also felt that his tone was a little too heavy, and said in a light tone: "Cao Apu, after the eunuch, I, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, after the famous family, even if the Son of Heaven is now in his hands, one day, the Son of Heaven will come to my Yuan Shao's hands, the Son of Heaven is the co-master of the world, how can Cao Cao, the eunuch, be able to hold it!" โ€

In fact, Yuan Shao decided the reason for retiring this time, in addition to worrying about Jizhou's loss, there is another point, that is, if today's son is already in Cao Cao's hands, if he really uses force to snatch it, then his reputation will definitely fall again, which makes Yuan Shao, who attaches great importance to his reputation and face, unacceptable, in his opinion, although the Son of Heaven is important, but not so important that he can give up his reputation.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Yuan Shao, after all, the people of later generations know that the power of coercing the Son of Heaven and making the princes is powerful, it is because there is an example Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao has just won the Son of Heaven, and he has not yet begun to order the princes.

In front of the people of the world, there is only one example of holding the Son of Heaven hostage, that is Dong Zhuo, the final fate of his holding the Son of Heaven hostage is not the wolf bรจi who was beaten by the princes of the Eighteen Roads and fled, which is why Yuan Shao does not attach much importance to the Son of Heaven.

Looking at Yuan Shao, who had made up his mind to retire, Xu You sighed disheartenedly, left the big tent of the Chinese army, and walked in the camp, looking back at the big tent of the Chinese army, and scolded in his heart: "Yong master, Yong master, let Cao Cao go today, let him return to Chenliu with the Son of Heaven, one day, you Yuan Shao will regret it!" โ€

Among the 200,000 troops, after the news of Yuan Shao's retreat, which occupied the largest head, reached Zhang Yang, who was still a little hesitant, he decided to withdraw in an instant!

After all, after Yuan Shao's 100,000 army retreated to Jizhou, there were 300,000 troops in Jizhou, and such a terrifying military force made Zhang Yang have to return to the army to protect his lair.

Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang, after the two retreated one after another, the original huge army of 200,000 left only Liu Bei's 40,000 army, and in the Liu army camp, it seems that Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang did not receive the news of the withdrawal of the two soldiers, or the troops were under the Tiger Prison Pass, and at the same time, the remaining 25,000 Liu soldiers and soldiers, under the leadership of Liu Bei himself, quickly came towards the Tiger Prison Pass.

On the second day, under the Tiger Prison, the black-clothed and black-armored Sergeant Cao and the green robe, and the green banner Sergeant Liu, the two sergeants put on a formation, their swords and guns unsheathed, and they were murderous.

Tianzi Luan was driving, Cao Cao, who was riding a war horse, looked at the opposite side, Liu Bei, who came out under the escort of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, also drove his horse, and came to the front under the escort of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and said with a smile: "Xuande, I haven't seen you for several spring and autumn periods, Xuande is still so loyal to the Han family, I heard that the Son of Heaven is here, and he actually worked tirelessly to bring troops to meet him. โ€

Cao Cao's words sounded like a subtle or even complimentary when they met each other, but in Liu Bei's ears, it didn't mean that.

In his ears, Cao Cao's words were all mocking himself, flaunting the loyal ministers of the Han family on the one hand, and on the other hand, he actually led troops to meet the Son of Heaven and led troops to meet him, which is only a subordinate who wants to usurp the throne and is disloyal to the Son of Heaven.
