Chapter 59: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold
Especially Guo Tu, he hated it so much that his teeth itched.
He focused on attacking Cao Cao, and even laid out for this for more than half a month, but now Tian Feng's fluttering words made his plan completely frustrated, and even left an incompetent label in the eyes of the lord.
If he doesn't bring down Tian Feng, he Guo Tu may never come out, Guo Tu's fist clucked hard.
"Thank you for the lord's love, but my subordinates are unwell today, if the lord has no other important things to discuss, my subordinates want to go back to recuperate."
Tian Feng was unmoved in the face of Yuan Shao's reward, but bowed down, rejected Yuan Shao's invitation, and wanted to leave.
Yuan Shao obviously didn't expect that Tian Feng would refuse him, his face immediately fell, and he stared at Tian Feng coldly.
After a while, his expression eased slightly.
"That's the end of today's deliberations, and you all go back first."
"Yes!"
Tian Feng, Xu You and others gave salutes one after another and retired and left.
Looking at Tian Feng's departing figure, Yuan Shao's gaze gradually became cold, and the koi fish in the waterhole under the pavilion seemed to feel a cold murderous aura coming, which frightened a spirit, and they scattered in all directions, no longer caring about grabbing food.
"Someone!" Yuan Shao let out a low voice.
"Lord!"
A personal guard stepped out from behind the rockery in the courtyard, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes on his toes, and his expression extremely respectful.
"Hurry up and find out who Tian Feng has been dealing with recently, especially to find out if there has been an exchange of letters with Xu Du. Be careful, don't startle the snake! ”
"Yes, my lord!" The personal guard was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Yuan Shao, "By the way, by the way, I will go to pass Yan Liang over, and I will say that there is military affairs." ”
The personal guard was ordered to leave in a hurry.
Yuan Shao picked up the small dish he had just given to Tian Feng, pinched it in his palm, and his eyes gradually sharpened, "Cao Cao's rear is in chaos, this is a God-given opportunity, Qingyanyu Sanzhou is the fat meat sent to the general's mouth, there is no reason not to eat it!" ”
As he spoke, he used force in his palm, and the white porcelain dish was ravaged and folded by it like a cloth, and then pinched into a ball, and the palm was dark, directly kneaded into white powder, and the palm was raised, and it was sprinkled to the waterhole.
When he was young, he visited the kendo masters in the mountains, and learned a superb swordsmanship, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to control the government, Yuan Shao also openly drew his sword to confront him, so that Dong Zhuo had some scruples, and did not dare to act recklessly for a while.
Later, because he was worried about offending Dong Zhuo and affecting the Yuan family, Yuan Shao had to leave the capital, and since then, Dong Zhuo, who has no restraint, began to mess up the Han court without fear.
At this time, Yuan Shao has passed the age of not being confused, and his internal strength has become more and more refined, and the way of swordsmanship is more refined than when he was young, but at this time he is already in a high position as a general, and it is easy and inconvenient to use the sword, so the world has not seen his swordsmanship.
Not to mention crumbling a small dish, a sharp sword was placed in front of him, and Yuan Shao also had the confidence to catch it.
Hearing that Cao Cao had a Qingyu sword and a sword that leaned on the sky, both of which were extremely sharp and sharpened like clay, Yuan Shao had long wanted to see and understand.
It just so happened that Cao Cao was attacked this time, and if they could meet on the battlefield, they would definitely meet this pair of peerless swords.
As for the emperor's side, Yuan Shao was not worried.
Liu Xie'er didn't know where to find some capable people, maybe they were the generals who protected the country left over from the Han Dynasty.
It is rumored that after Emperor Guangwu recovered the Han Dynasty, he had secretly left an iron general bloodline among the people, known as the "general who protects the country", once the world is in chaos again, the general who protects the country will put on armor again, hold a sharp blade in his hand, stand up, and fight for the Han royal family.
The purpose of this move is to avoid the recurrence of Wang Mang's power and seizure of the Han foundation.
But since the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, and then to Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, Guo Yan and Li Dao have rebelled against the government, and I have never seen a general who protects the country stand up to protect the Han River, after all, it is just a folk rumor, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
If there is really a general who protects the country, why did he come out to support the young master and protect the Han Dynasty until now?
The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't figure it out, and in the end he didn't bother to think about it anymore, no matter what his origin was, let people go directly to calm down and eradicate it, so why speculate here.
While he was pondering, there was the sound of heavy footsteps in the courtyard, as well as the sound of long, slight breathing, and he knew that he was a martial arts master.
"Lord, are you looking for me?" An eight-foot-tall military general, who stepped forward and saluted angrily, and the armor on his body was still stained with blood, and he rushed straight from the army camp at a glance.
The person who came was the proud general under Yuan Shao, Yan Liang.
"Yan Liang, why are there blood stains on your body?" Yuan Shao turned his head, glanced at him, and frowned slightly.
"Lord Qiqi, the last general has just trained in Baima, and it happened that the Cao army was also deployed on the other side, and he was itchy for a while, so he led 5,000 light soldiers, crossed the mouth of the Yellow River, and slaughtered in the Cao army's camp, bringing back more than 100 heads, giving the soldiers more courage."
"This kind of offensive training, the effect is very significant, the soldiers are waiting to be fed, all the swords and axes are sharpened, ready to cross the river at any time to kill the past!"
Yan Liang grinned widely, extremely proud.
"Oh?" Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little disbelieving, "You led five thousand light soldiers to attack like this?" ”
"It's just like this, it's effortless at all, if it's not for the fear that the lone army will go deeper, and the rear supplies can't keep up, the last general will be able to kill all the way from the white horse to Xu Du!"
Yan Liang licked his lips, obviously he hadn't killed it yet, and he was about to make a move, and he wanted to kill it again.
"Is Cao Cao really in chaos, he is so vulnerable, he can't hold the crossing of the Yellow River." Yuan Shao muttered to himself, his eyes shining.
Then, he straightened his face, "Have you heard about the matter of Xuzhou?" ”
"The lord refers to the fact that Lu Bu's gang was defeated and took refuge in Jizhou?"
Yan Liang's words were very contemptuous of Lu Bu.
When the princes of the Eighteenth Road were discussing Dong Zhuo, Yan Liang and Wen Chou happened to be in the pacification of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and they did not participate, and were out of the limelight by Hua Xiong and Lu Bu.
There is even a reputation for Lu Bu among people and red rabbits among horses.
Later, after the two heard about this, they were angry and stomped their feet again and again, and once wanted to compete with Lu Bu, but unfortunately they never had a chance.
Now that Lu Bu has been defeated and taken refuge in Yuan Shao, he is not in the eyes of Yan Liangwen and ugly, and he is not very polite to him in his words.
"I heard that the person who defeated Lu Bu is a rare member of the world, I am afraid that there is some origin, this general wants to send you to Xuzhou in disguise to find out the details, it is best to assassinate him unconsciously, pay attention, you must ensure your own safety, and you must not be greedy for merit." Yuan Shao nodded and said to Yan Liang.
Xiang Yu is the emperor's person, and Yuan Shao can't openly show his intention to confront the imperial court at this time, so at most he can only assassinate Xiang Yu, but he can't lead his troops to attack Xuzhou.
As soon as Yan Liang heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, "My lord, please rest assured, when my master was out of the mountain, my master taught me a stunt, the Huoyun Long Knife, and said to me, once I learn this method, within a hundred steps, take the head of the enemy's main general, just like picking up something." ”
"There are nine layers of this method, and the last general has now learned the eighth layer, he is an iron head, and he will never be able to stand up to the last general's knife!"
Yan Liang showed pride on his face and swore to give Yuan Shao a military order.
"That's very good, hurry up and get dressed and set off, the day you return from Xuzhou, it will be the time when I will launch a decisive battle against the Cao thief!"
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, stood up, and patted Yan Liang's shoulder hard.
