Three Kingdoms King of the North

Chou stabbed Huang Zhong a few times, and when Huang Zhong dodged, he pulled his horse and left.He knew that in order to decide the outcome with the opponent, at least one hundred rounds had to pass, and if he wanted to win quickly, he had to use other methods.Seeing Huang Zhong coming after him, he put his spear on the saddle, took out the iron tire bow, opened the bow and turned his head to shoot an arrow at Huang Zhong.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong reacted quickly, and quickly leaned on the horse's back, and the arrow flew over his head. "You know how to shoot arrows, so why don't I know how to shoot arrows?" Huang Zhong was almost caught by Chou's plan, and he was so angry that he quickly took out the bow and arrow from the bag on the saddle, and without aiming, he shot an arrow at Chou.

As soon as Chou picked up the steel gun, he didn't expect Huang Zhong's arrow to arrive in front of him.He quickly shrank his neck, and the arrow shot off the red tassel on his helmet.Seeing how exquisite Huang Zhong's arrow skills are, Ugly felt inferior to himself, so he could only hold a steel gun in his hand and compete with Huang Zhong again.

Standing on the cliff, Han Zhan saw that the Yuan family below was completely messed up.He then ordered Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, lead people to rush down immediately. Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be killed, and those who resist in the corner will be killed!"

"The last general takes orders!" After Dian Wei finished speaking, he raised his double halberds and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill me!"

In the canyon, the bones of Yuan Jun killed by the huge crossbow arrows were piled up, and the remaining soldiers were also in a mess like headless flies.When they heard the deafening shouts of killing and rushed towards them, and saw the dark mass of enemy troops approaching from all sides with their weapons in hand, most of Yuan Jun's officers and soldiers were terrified.

At this moment, Yuan Tan was being crushed under the two corpses. He felt that his body was heavy, and he was a little out of breath.He heard the sound of throwing stones outside and the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air seemed to have stopped, so he struggled to free one hand, and pushed his elbow away to press down on his corpse.

After the corpse was pushed away, he suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier. He tilted his head to wipe off the greasy stuff on his face, and was suddenly startled. A soldier whose head had been smashed off was lying on the opposite side of him. , the only remaining eye was staring at him, making him sick to his stomach.He quickly closed his eyes, and opened them again when he felt better.

He half-raised his head and looked around. The distance of more than a hundred feet from the canyon to the mouth of the valley was full of layers of smashed and tattered corpses. Seeing that so many of his subordinates died at once, his heart ached. All bleeding.On the battlefield, he fought the enemy knife to knife and gun to gun, no matter how many people died, he took it for granted.But this time, he didn't know who was plotting against him, and thousands of his subordinates became innocent ghosts like this.

At this moment, his intestines were full of remorse. Why did Guo Tu persuade him when he saw such a dangerous terrain, but he didn't send anyone to explore the way?Is it because you are in a hurry to get to Jieqiao, so you can be so careless?Seeing this scene, his heart ached, bleeding from the pain.He smashed hard on the ground with his clenched fist, again and again, the sharp gravel pierced his fingers, but he still smashed hard.He was even thinking that if he regained his strength and captured the other party, he would chop him alive with his own hands, dig out his heart, and pay homage to these unjustly killed subordinates!

Outside the canyon, Chou fought Huang Zhong for a hundred rounds, but there was still no winner.Seeing that almost all the people who escaped from the canyon were lost in the repeated charge of the cavalry outside the canyon, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would have to lose his life here in vain, so he shot a feint and drove the horses into the desert. and flee.

Yuan Jun soldiers in the valley saw that the situation was over, and few people continued to resist, most of them surrendered voluntarily.Seeing this situation, Yuan Tan knew that it was impossible for him to escape, so he picked up a fairly complete armor from the pile of dead people nearby, put it on in a hurry, and covered it with the blood of the dead body. I smeared it twice on my face, planning to go out with the soldiers as a prisoner, and I will find a chance to be a prisoner in the future.

He never dreamed that his wishful thinking would soon come to nothing.When the thousands of surviving Yuan soldiers were escorted out of the canyon by the Han family army and lined up in the open space outside the valley, although Yuan Tan changed his clothes and wiped his company with blood, the soldiers standing beside him still recognized him. over him.Instinctively, the soldiers stepped aside consciously, immediately making Yuan Tan the target of public criticism.

Yuan Tan knew that his identity could not be concealed, so he walked up to a cavalryman and said loudly: "I am Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Cheqi, take me to see your general!"

Hearing that Yuan Tan was captured, Han Zhan, who was talking to Huang Zhong not far away, immediately rushed over with a dozen of his own soldiers.Seeing Yuan Tan's face covered in blood, he was startled for a moment, but seeing the other party's lively appearance, he knew that the other party was not injured at all, and the blood on his face must have been used for makeup to escape.

He walked quickly in front of Yuan Tan, bowed his hands towards him, and said politely: "Young Master Yuan, we meet again!"

Chapter 0123

"So it was you," Yuan Tan's eyes dimmed when he saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was Han Zhan, and he lowered his eyelids and sighed, "Since it fell into your hands, it's up to you to kill or cut to pieces!"

Hearing what Yuan Tan said, Han Zhan couldn't help sneering, wondering why people in this era like to say this sentence?But I won't kill you now, you are still of great use.If it didn't work, I'd have someone chop you up with a single knife, and I'd also like to kill your whole family, so as not to retaliate in the future.After Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, he killed Pang De and formed an enmity with the Pang family. As a result, when the Kingdom of Shu perished, Pang De's son Pang Hui led people to kill Guan Yu's family for revenge.

I just interrogated the captured soldiers and learned that Yuan Tan, Chou and Guo Tu were leading the team this time.From Huang Zhong, Han Zhan knew that Chou had escaped from the encirclement; Yuan Tan had already been captured, and was standing obediently in front of him.Only Guo Tu was not seen, and I don't know if he died in the chaos or escaped while taking advantage of the chaos?

Thinking of this, Han Zhan asked Yuan Tan: "Mr. Yuan, I heard that Mr. Guo Tu and Mr. Guo are with you. I don't know where he is now?"

"Gongze?!" Hearing Han Zhan mentioning Guo Tu, Yuan Tan remembered that he hadn't seen Guo Tu since the moment he was attacked, and he didn't know if he was stoned to death in the canyon.He couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed, and said angrily: "I regret not listening to Gong Ze's words, and sent people to check on the cliffs on both sides, otherwise our army would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat."

"Oh, that's how it is." Only now did Han Zhan know that before Yuan Jun entered the canyon, no one had noticed the strangeness, but it was because Yuan Tan was too confident and did not follow Guo Tu's suggestion, otherwise the ambush would end up in the end. What it will become is still unknown.

Han Zhan called a military marquis and told him, "Take someone to search carefully in the valley to see if there are any corpses dressed as counselors. If you find any, you must restrain yourself, understand?"

"The subordinate understands." Junhou replied loudly.

Han Zhan turned to face Yuan Tan, and said, "Young Master Yuan, it's getting late, it's time to get on the road."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Yuan Tan's head drooped: "Mr. Han, miss you and me, and leave me for the whole body later. Also," Yuan Tan raised his head and looked into the distance Looking at the captured soldiers, he continued, "These soldiers under my command, I also ask Mr. Han to hold your hands high, and don't make things difficult for them."

Han Zhan looked at Yuan Tan in surprise. He really didn't expect the other party to be so considerate of his subordinates, which completely overturned the history he knew in his previous life.But after a while, he suddenly thought of something, and asked back: "Mr. Yuan thought I was going to kill you?"

"Isn't it?" Yuan Tan raised his head and put on a look of death.

As soon as Yuan Tan finished speaking, Han Zhan burst into laughter. He didn't expect that he said casually that it was time to go on the road. He wanted to take Yuan Tan back to Jizhou for lunch, but he thought he was going to kill him.

Seeing Han Zhan laughing, the surrounding Han Jiajun also burst out laughing.The laughter of the crowd made Yuan Tan's face turn from white to red, and then from red to black. He pointed at Han Zhan and yelled, "Kid Han, kill him if you want, don't humiliate Yuan like this anymore!"

Han Zhan stopped laughing and shouted loudly, "Come here!"

As soon as his words fell, someone beside him immediately replied loudly: "Here!"

Han Zhan had been secretly observing Yuan Tan, and seeing that he was startled by his shout, he knew that this man was a strong man, and he didn't want to tease him anymore, so he ordered the soldiers: "Wash Mr. Yuan's face and find a clean one. Change into your clothes. Let's go back to the city immediately!"

The news of the collapse of Yuan Tan's army was reported to Yuan Shao by Chou who had escaped alone that evening.After Yuan Shao heard the news, he stared straight at the outside of the tent, and then fell on his back.Yan Liang and Chou quickly rushed forward, supported him, and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord!"

After a long time, Yuan Shao woke up slowly. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and shouted: "My son, you died a terrible death!"

Feng Ji, who was surrounded by him, quickly spoke to comfort him, "My lord, I am impatient with death, please forgive me!"

"Slap!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on the face.Feng Ji covered his slapped face, looked at Yuan Shao in puzzlement, and wondered what happened to the lord, why did he suddenly slap himself?

Yuan Shao stood up straight, pointed at Feng Ji, and scolded angrily: "If you hadn't recommended the Han family's son to be a national edict, you wouldn't have raised a tiger; if you didn't come up with any bad ideas, you would have killed the Han family. Will we be in this embarrassment if we kill everyone and force Han Jie to death?"

After hearing what Yuan Shao scolded, Feng Ji realized that he had really caused a catastrophe. Yuan Shao only slapped himself, which was considered light.

Yuan Shao looked at his most trusted counselor, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he shouted loudly to the outside of the tent: "Come here!"

Following the shout, two guards walked in from the outside and saluted Yuan Shao with crossed hands: "What orders do you have, my lord?"

Yuan Shao pointed at Feng Ji with his finger, and said angrily, "Push him out and behead him, and hang his head on the gate for public display!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to kill himself, Feng Ji was frightened out of his wits, and he quickly shouted: "My lord, my lord, please forgive me!" But he had already been dragged by the guards and walked a few steps outside, and he hadn't seen Yuan Shao express anything yet. , He shouted at Jushou, Shenpei, Xunchen and others, "Gongyu, Zhengnan, please beg my lord, save my life."

Regarding Yuan Shao's plan to kill Fengji, Ju Shou originally wanted to watch from the sidelines, but he couldn't bear to hear Fengji's screams so miserable. He first called to stop the two guards who were dragging Fengji out, and said Yuan Shao said: "My lord, we are confronting Gongsun Zan at this moment. If Feng Yuantu is killed, the army's morale may be unstable. Please think again, lord, and spare Yuantu."

The trial match has a close relationship with Feng Ji, the reason why he dared not speak just now was nothing more than worrying that Yuan Shao would turn his anger on him.At this moment, seeing that Jushou was already in his prime, he went along with the situation and said: "My lord, what you said is very true. Killing Feng Changshi at this moment will cause our army's morale to be unstable."

Seeing that Jushou and Shenpei pleaded for Fengji at the same time, Yuan Shao, who has always been soft-hearted, hesitated.He turned to look at Xun Chen and asked, "You Ruo, what do you think?"

Since Yuan Shao moved into Jizhou, Xun Chen had a relatively close friendship with Fengji. He knew that if Fengji died, he, an outsider, would definitely be excluded by different factions, so he gritted his teeth and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, since the eldest son It's already dead, even if you kill Yuantu, it won't help, it's better to let him take the crime and do meritorious service, and continue to advise the Lord."

Although Yuan Shao was still grieving over the death of his eldest son, Yuan Tan, he still couldn't kill his most trusted advisor at this moment.So after hesitating for a moment, he waved at the two guards, motioning them to retreat.Then he said to Feng Ji who came over to thank him: "Yuan Tu, write this down for now, if something like this happens again, I will definitely kill you!"

Knowing that he had narrowly escaped death, Feng Ji, who was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, hurriedly kowtowed to Yuan Shao, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I will definitely do my best to advise you."

Chapter 0124 The plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves

When Han Zhan, Guo Jia and others led the army back in triumph, Zhao Yun personally led people outside the city to meet them.

Among the welcoming crowd, Han Zhan unexpectedly saw two familiar faces: one was Patch, his housekeeper in Sheguo County, and the other was Hu Cha, the richest man in Sheguo County.

Seeing these two people, Han Zhan showed a surprised expression on his face.He hurriedly got off his horse, cupped his hands towards Hu Cha, and greeted politely: "Mr. Hu, long time no see!"

"Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou!" Seeing Han Zhan getting off his horse and greeting him, Hu Cha quickly knelt on the ground and saluted: "My villain welcomes Lord Hou on his triumphant return!"

"Mr. Hu," Han Zhan knew that Hu Cha was a big businessman, and if he hadn't come to him for something important, he would never have appeared here suddenly. He quickly helped him up and asked, "I don't know when you arrived in Jizhou. What else is there to do?"

Hu Cha looked around for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, this is not the place to talk, let's wait until we get back to the State Shepherd's Mansion."

Seeing Hu Cha's expression, Han Zhan knew that there must be something important, and it was indeed not suitable for discussion in public.He walked up to Patch again, and asked with a straight face, "You're not in Sheguo County, what are you doing here?"

"Responding to your son," Patch immediately lowered his head and replied, "it was Sister Lihua who said that you didn't even have anyone to serve you, so she urged the villain to come over to serve you. It happened that Mr. Hu was going to Jizhou for business, so the villain followed He came here together."

Back at the State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Zhan ordered Yuan Tan to be imprisoned with Chun Yuqiong; he also ordered Zhao Yun to go to the barracks to take charge of reorganizing the captured officers and soldiers of Yuan's army.After finishing all this work, he summoned Hu Cha to the main hall and asked bluntly, "Mr. Hu, can you tell me now the purpose of your trip?"
