Chapter 510: Envoy to Puyang, Accident on the Halfway of Crossing the River
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Shang quickly cast a grateful look at Xu You, and Xu You was rubbing his fingers with the old god, and the meaning was obvious.
Yuan Shang also nodded clearly. It can be seen that Xu You was not aimless to say what he wanted to give up Yuan Shang as an envoy. There must be any interest relationship between the two of them. Otherwise, Xu You would not have been so busy to accomplish this matter.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao nodded and smiled, "Then let Xianfu go to Puyang as an envoy, according to Ziyuan's intention. However, Xianfu went alone, and I was not relieved. So Xun Chen followed him. During this period, Xun Chen's idea was the most important thing. Have you heard it?"
At the end, Yuan Shao turned to look at Yuan Shang and made a solemn explanation. Obviously, Yuan Shao was still not very at ease with his third son. He also sent Xun Chen, who was very talented and experienced in dealing with people.
Yuan Shang left with a smile. He thought that he could take advantage of Cao Cao to take advantage of the opportunity to improve his status in Yuan's camp, but he did not know that his departure was forever separated from Yuan Shao, the heavens and man, and the yin and yang.
After arriving in Puyang, Yuan Shang quickly met Cao Cao. After learning about Yuan Shao's attitude, Cao Cao was also very happy to form an alliance with Yuan Shao. After all, in Cao Cao's opinion, Yang Fan was much more terrifying than Yuan Shao. If he could take advantage of this and destroy Yang Fan.
Yuan Shao was no match for him, Cao Cao at all. When he thought that in the next few years or more than ten years, most of the land in the world would be included in his rule by Cao Cao, such great achievements were rare, even if Cao Cao was as beautiful as the sea, he was very excited.
Both sides had intentions, and the alliance went smoothly. By the way, Yuan Shang became Cao Cao's son-in-law.
After the alliance was completed, Yuan Shang left Puyang and prepared to rush back to Jizhou.
On the Yellow River, several ferry boats were sailing slowly towards the other side of the river.
The person on the boat was Yuan Shang, who made Cao. He achieved his goal. Yuan Shang was in a good mood. In addition, he became Cao Cao's son-in-law, which made Yuan Shang see a bright future.
During this period, he still joked with Xun Chen and said, "Youyou, when you return to Yecheng this time, your father will be used to me. Are you willing to work under my account? You will be glorious and wealthy, and you will definitely be missing!"
A hint of mockery flashed in Xun Chen's heart, but his face was not shown. He replied lightly: "Three Young Master, I am the minister under the lord's account and the counselor of the future lord of Jizhou!"
As if he heard the rejection in Xun Chen's words, Yuan Shang didn't care. As if the Lord of Jizhou would definitely be his. He smiled confidently and said, "Oh? Okay, then in the future, I will definitely let You Ruo, assist me sincerely!"
At this moment, several fighting ships suddenly rushed over the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and their speed was astonishing.
Soon, Yuan Shang's ferry was surrounded by him.
Yuan Shang was shocked when he saw this and asked Xun Chen: "Youruo, is there a water thief on this...the surface of the Yellow River?"
After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Xun Chen was almost angry and cursed, thinking, "This is not a water thief." Although the people on the battleship were not armoured, they were also disciplined. From just now, they had never said a word, and they looked at Yuan Shang and others coldly.
Such a performance is not a water thief? Just from the appearance alone, it makes people feel that this is a team of elite naval forces.
At this moment, Yuan Shang was obviously panicked and said loudly: "Who are you waiting for? Why are you intercepting my Yuan Jun's ship? I, Yuan Shang, if you know more, leave quickly!"
The people on the fight ship were still observing, but suddenly, after hearing Yuan Shang’s own report, there was a noise coming from behind. A strong man walked to the bow of the boat, looked at Yuan Shang for a while, and asked in suspicion: “You are Yuan Shao’s son, Yuan Shang?”
Yuan Shang thought the other party was frightened by his identity, and shouted: "It's me, why don't you leave quickly if you are waiting for the little water thief?"
Unexpectedly, the man opposite suddenly grinned and said, "Since you are Yuan Shang, there is no need to live on other people on the boat!"
As the man finished speaking, several fighting ships behind him sailed towards the other Yuan army's ferries. The two ships collided and the hull was still shaking. The men on the fighting ship carried their swords forward and killed the guards of Yuan Shang who were still standing unsteadily.
Yuan Shang was stunned when he was suddenly in trouble. When he was about to question him, he was held back by Xun Chen. Xun Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Third Young Master, can't you still see it? This group of strong men are just for you!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shang was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Xun Chen sighed and said, "Who is yours? If you are for wealth, you can take away the property on the ship. There is no need to hurt our lives, right?"
When the man saw Xun Chen, he was calm in the face of danger, and he was dressed as a scholar, he asked quickly: "I think the scholar who can follow Yuan Shang is not a nameless person, right? You might as well tell your name!"
Xun Chen smiled bitterly and said, "In the Yingchuan, Xun Chen!"
"oh?"
The man was shocked when he heard this, and was obviously shocked by Xun Chen's name. He did not know Xun Chen, but he knew Xun Chen's other two relatives and friends. He smiled and said, "It turns out that they are famous scholars in Yingchuan, Xun Chen! There is a lack of a dog-headed military advisor in my mountain. I don't know... Lord Xun, can you give in?"
Xun Chen looked ugly, glanced at Yuan Shang who was shaking like a sieve, and asked, "If I promised to go with you, will you let Yuan Shang go?"
The man laughed and said, "I do things depend on my mood. As long as Lord Xun is willing to come over, I am happy and maybe I will put these wine bags."
At this time, Yuan Shang's guards on the other ships were all killed. The river surface was covered with corpses and blood, which made people look disgusted. Yuan Shang had never seen such a scene, and now he was already scared to the point of being possessed.
Seeing Yuan Shang so cowardly, Xun Chen sighed even more. Such a person had just sworn to recruit him. However, since Xun Chen was Yuan Shao's counselor and Yuan Shang was Yuan Shao's third son, at this time of crisis, he naturally had to consider Yuan Shang's safety and said to Yuan Shang: "Three Young Master, since the other party needs my talents, after I leave, they have no reason to continue to do evil. Third Young Master, you can take the opportunity to escape from the brigade and wait until you reach our army's ferry!"
Yuan Shang stammered and replied: "That...that friend...if you...you'll walk all the way!"
Xun Chen sighed and jumped to the other party's fighting ship, bowed to the man, "I agree to you, and I will follow you from now on, but you have to agree to a condition below!"
A trace of light flashed in the man's eyes and he smiled and said, "You are good at it? What are the conditions?"
Xun Chen replied: "As long as you agree and let Yuan Shao's three sons go, then in the future, you will only obey your fate!"
The man laughed and said, "I'm here this time just to take his life. You asked me to let him go now. It's very difficult to deal with me? I can't pay it back!"
Xun Chen's face changed suddenly and he said anxiously: "Aren't you water thieves?"
The man was shocked and thought to himself that this person who could be praised by the lord was still extraordinary. The two of them had just talked a few words, and the other party could guess something. It can be seen that it is better to be careful when talking to these wise men.
In order to avoid the news being exposed, the man dared not talk to Xun Chen again. He was afraid that the local area would guess his identity if he said a few more words. If someone in Yuan’s army escaped, then this frame-up plan would be difficult to achieve, and perhaps it would also attract Yuan Shao’s endless anger.
Thinking of this, the man hurriedly shouted at the people around him, "What are you waiting for?"
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people jumped onto Yuan Shang's boat with their swords and chopped them up without saying a word.
Yuan Shang had not many guards, and after only a cup of tea, he was slaughtered. Yuan Shang himself was even more slaughtered and died so much that he could not die again.
Afterwards, the man was still worried and quickly whispered: "Search me and finish the attack. Some people jumped into the water. Whether they die or not, they will make up for three attacks!"
After hearing the man's words, Xun Chenru fell into an ice cave, looking at the men who were searching for the fish that were missing the net.
Soon, a strong soldier came to the man and reported: "General Qi reported to General Yuan Shang, all of whom were escorted by hundreds of people, and all of them were killed. Yuan Shang himself was also chopped dozens of times. Even the Daluo Jinxian could not save him!"
The man laughed and said, "No, no, you can send someone to throw some armor and weapons on those ferries. Remember, weapons and armor must be brand new, and they are not used."
The soldiers said in confusion: "General, why did you abandon our army's equipment? Wouldn't this let Yuan Shao know that this was done by our army?"
The man laughed and scolded: "How can you guess the plan of a military advisor? Go and do it now!"
After the soldiers left, Xun Chen saw the standard equipment of the Yang family army. A suddenness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "No wonder he wants to use new equipment. Yang Piqi's move is to fight Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!"
The man was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Youruo, did you guess?"
Xun Chen rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you treat me as a fool?"
Seeing that he had been identified, the man no longer hid himself and immediately introduced himself: "I am Gan Ning, if I hadn't heard Youruo tell your family, I might have harmed Youruo's life!"
Xun Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have long thought of leaving Yuan Shao, but I have been hesitating. Now, I have to thank General Gan for making a choice for me!"
Gan Ning has long been well known for the name of the Xun brothers. Although it was his first time dealing with Xun Chen, it did not prevent him from seeing one or two from Xun Yu and Xun You.
"Let's go!" Gan Ning simply waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go back!"
