Chapter 162 Brothers Reunion

"General, if you think so, it would be too hasty." Although Xun Yu had just surrendered, he did not show affection at all when he spoke, "Perhaps it is a sweet pastry. If you don't cherish it now, you will want to get it later." Come back, it will be difficult!"

"Oh?" Yuan Ke had a thought, got off his horse and asked for advice, "Please enlighten me, sir."

"General, think about it. Duke Yuan has already gained the upper hand in the dispute between Cao and Yuan. It is estimated that the unification of the north will be just around the corner. If he wants to improve his power, what should he do?" Xun Yu reminded.

"Hmm..." Yuan Ke thought for a while before arriving at the answer, "support the current emperor."

"That's right." Xun Yu nodded, "Since Dong Zhuo's misfortune, Luoyang, Chang'an, and Xudu have all been the residences of the emperor. Yuan Gong will never dare to risk the disgrace of the world and move the current emperor to Ye. City. If the general believes in me, you might as well wait a little longer, Duke Yuan will definitely come."

Xun Yu's words were correct. It didn't take long for Yuan Ke to receive the news that Yuan Shao would come to Xudu in person.

In fact, Yuan Shao's visit this time was purely on a whim.He was beaten by Cao Cao in Guandu, but he suddenly got the news that Yuan Ke had attacked and killed Cao Cao. After that, the morale of Cao Jun's army was weakened. The ground was disbanded, but they couldn't continue to fight, so they had to withdraw their troops.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Shao picked up a victory for nothing.

Later, he heard that Yuan Ke took advantage of the absence of the main force of Cao's army to capture the city of Xu. He had to give up.

Now, Yuan Ke repelled the Cao soldiers who besieged the city, and killed Cao Ren and Xu Huang. He was really happy, so he decided to come to Xudu to meet the emperor in person, and commend Yuan Ke at the same time.

He sent Yuan Shang to lead the troops as the vanguard to arrive first, and after cleaning the battlefield, he led the brigade to attack the city along the road while slowly advancing.

On the windy and sandy road, Yuan Shang led 2 horses and was marching towards Xu Capital City proudly.

Because of Cao Cao's killing, Cao Ying fell into a chaotic situation of contending for the throne, and the gates of the cities along the road were also closed, which made Yuan Shang's southward journey easy and enjoyable.

"I'm going to see Cyclops soon," Yuan Shang said with a smile, "This kid has been getting a lot of limelight recently, I have to find a way to beat him!"

"Yes, yes!" The lieutenant quickly nodded in agreement, but the complex expression on his face betrayed him, making his compliment seem unbelievable. "Let him understand that you are Yuan Gong's heir, my lord."

What he said reached Yuan Shang's heart, and Yuan Shang didn't care why Yuan Ke was so powerful all of a sudden. He only cared about whether Yuan Ke would threaten his status if it continued like this.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes in front of them, and a cavalryman got off his horse in front of them, and said respectfully: "The villain is ordered by General Hussars to meet you!"

"General Hussars?" Yuan Shang was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was referring to Yuan Ke. He looked around and pointed to the intermittently appearing city in front of him and asked, "Is that Xudu?"

The soldier replied: "Young Master, it's Xu Capital City. General Hussars has set up a grand banquet in the city, and I'm just waiting for you to come!"

Yuan Shang said with a smile: "It seems that my fourth brother is quite good at life!"

The cavalry said vividly: "General Hussars often tells us about your heroic deeds, young master. Now that you can witness your demeanor with your own eyes, the villain has fulfilled his wish. General Hussars also said that it is rare for you to come here once. He has to Treat you well!"

"Hahahaha!" Yuan Shang laughed loudly, "Don't worry, the days are still long!"

In the evening, the group of them arrived at the city of Xudu.In Yuan Shang's impression, Xudu should be a dilapidated city, so what he saw made him even more dumbfounded: the walls of the city have been raised a lot, and the dilapidated places have been completely repaired. , the city tower is covered with big red lanterns, surrounded by a line of big characters fluttering in the wind-Welcome the third son.

At this moment, the city gate creaked open, and Yuan Ke came out with a group of civil and military officials smiling.

"Yuan Ke... meet the third brother!" Yuan Ke came to Yuan Shang, with tears in his eyes, and knelt down with tears in his eyes.

"Oh!" Yuan Shang quickly got off his horse and helped him up, "Why is fourth brother crying?"

Yuan Ke turned his head to the side, and said sadly: "I miss my third brother day and night, and finally meet today, how can I not burst into tears!"

"Forgive me for talking too much, the reunion of the two young masters is something worthy of celebration, how can we weep?" Tian Feng stepped forward generously to smooth things over, "The banquet in the city is ready, please come to the city quickly!"

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Yuan Ke respected him so much, Yuan Shang felt even happier, "I'll come and taste the fine wine and delicacies in Xu Capital!"

The banquet carefully prepared by Yuan Ke did not disappoint Yuan Shang.Here, he not only drank the most mellow wine, ate the fattest barbecue, but also saw the bewitching and moving dances of beauties.Under the constant temptation of beauty, Yuan Shang couldn't help revealing his obscene face, staring lewdly at the dancers' gauze clothes that were as thin as cicada's wings.

Yuan Ke's hospitality was really good, which made Yuan Shang very excited today. They recited poems against each other, threw pots[1], and drank a lot of wine.

Seeing that the first step of the scheme was successful, Yuan Ke secretly laughed in his heart. He lost no time in coming to Yuan Shang's side, and flatteringly said: "I wonder what the third brother thinks here?"

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!" Yuan Shang said drunkenly.

"In this case, the third brother might as well play for a few more days and relax." Yuan Ke suggested, "You have worked hard for so many years, and you should enjoy it!"

Yuan Shang didn't answer his words, but let out a thunderous snore.

He didn't even know when he lost consciousness.

Yuan Ke looked back at the messy lobby and the empty wine jars, feeling distressed, turned around and gave Tian Feng a wink.

……

When Yuan Shang opened his eyes again, the sky was bright.He found himself lying naked on a bed with a young woman with her back turned to him.

"Should it be the maid who came to serve the bedroom?" He thought so, turned over suddenly, only to find that the place he was in was magnificent, even more luxurious than the bedroom at home.

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, and someone asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Yuan awake?"
