Dong Fang led his troops to garrison at Linli, and Sima Yi accompanied him as chief secretary. When he learned that some of the Montenegrin troops had returned, he tried to contact them, and he had a fairly good understanding of the relevant situation.
According to the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Yan did not get along well with Zhong Yao.
No one can explain the specific reason, but Zhang Yan prepared to send troops to attack Yecheng several times, but was stopped by Zhong Yao. Last year, when Yuan Shao's main force besieged Pengcheng, Zhang Yan once again asked for an attack and even pulled the soldiers out of the camp.
, in the end, Zhong Yao threatened to cut off food and had to return to the station.
After that time, the conflict between the two intensified and became a secret known to everyone.
It was at this time that part of the Montenegrin army returned to the old stronghold in the Linlu area. Among them, a general named Yu Du had the most intense attitude, and even said, "The Ruying people are all hypocrites, and he and the Ruying people are incompatible with each other."
When he heard this, Sima Yi made a special comment.
"I think these are just poisonous words and are not trustworthy. As far as I know, although Mr. Zhongfu is from Ruying, he is stationed in Shangdang. He is diligent in his duties and has no contact with Yecheng."
Liu Xie smiled.
Sima Yi's words are nonsense.
As far as you know? How can you know about going to the Party in Hanoi?
"How is Yu Du? Have you met him?"
Sima Yi shook his head and looked at Dong Fang.
Dong Fang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The Black Mountain Army was originally an ant bandit. After being recruited by the imperial court, the military discipline was slightly better, but there are still some people who are daring and disobey orders. Yu Du is a typical example of this. He was the leader in the beginning.
The troops attacked Yecheng and captured Yuan Shao and his
He was a member of Wenwu's family. Later, my elder brother guarded Wei County and had conflicts with him. After my elder brother was ordered to guard Hanoi, Yu Du harassed Hanoi many times and fought with our army. Thanks to the master's familiarity with the terrain, I was able to protect myself.
We met each other a few times from a distance on the battlefield, but other than that we had no contact with each other."
"Has he ever invaded Yecheng?" Liu Xie was surprised.
Dong Gu regretted it as soon as he said it, but couldn't take it back, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes."
Liu Xie thought for a while. "I want to see him. Is there any way you can find him?"
Dong Fang still hesitated, so Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, I would like to take a trip and summon him to see you."
Liu Xie looked Sima Yi over, nodded in agreement, and then wrote an edict, ordering Sima Yi to summon Yu Du to see him.

Xiaopingjinguan.
Yuan Shao was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.
Mrs. Yuan stood in front of the bed, looked at him and sighed.
"When the party was imprisoned, you hid in Ruyang to mourn. When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, you hid in Bohai. Now that you are in this situation, you still want to hide. Where can you hide?"
Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes and said feebly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"There is only one thing I want to say. There are some things that cannot be avoided. Even if you have to bite the bullet, you have to face it. It is a knife to extend your head, and it is also a knife to shrink your head. Why do you do this to make the world laugh?"
Yuan Shao's face flushed, and then turned pale again.
"I'm already like this, so why do you have to force me so hard that you can't just let me die peacefully?"
Mrs. Yuan nodded, turned and walked out. Standing at the door, she stopped but did not look back. Her face was illuminated by the slanting sunlight, and her eyes showed a strange look.
"I have always felt that the road is not as good as you, but now it seems that you are not as good as the road. My late father did not think highly of you and did not give you the title of mother. It was a wise move."
After saying that, Mrs. Yuan walked out of the door and left without looking back.
Yuan Shao's chest felt tight, his throat felt sweet, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
Being told bluntly by Mrs. Yuan that he was not as good as Yuan Shu was the greatest humiliation he had ever experienced in his life. It also made him feel ashamed that he was being blamed by his biological mother.
It was his uncle Yuan Wei who insisted on choosing him to inherit Yuan Cheng's bloodline, but his biological father Yuan Feng actually disapproved of it. Yuan Feng had always looked down on him and refused to give his biological mother the due status she deserved. As a result, he was dismissed by Yuan Shu.
I despised it all my life.
If Yuan Feng was willing to let his biological mother be his equal wife, why would he do this?
Moreover, although Mrs. Yuan was said to be domineering, she was a daughter of a noble family after all. She would never say such heartless words unless she was extremely disappointed in him.
If Mrs. Yuan is not willing to help him, who else can help him?
Yuan Shao was so distraught that he vomited several mouthfuls of blood. When Yuan Tan felt that the sound was wrong and rushed in, he was already lying in the blood and dying.
Yuan Tan was shocked and called the doctor.
Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others came after hearing the news, and when they saw this scene, they were also confused.
Knowing that what happened after Mrs. Yuan arrived, Xun Chen, not caring about his face, hurriedly came to see Mrs. Yuan and asked what happened at that time.
When she learned that Yuan Shao had vomited blood again and was unconscious, Mrs. Yuan also felt a little regretful. She did not explain anything to Xun Chen, so she could only say a few vague words, and finally said:
"Since Ben Chu is seriously ill, don't delay any longer and meet him as soon as possible. If Ben Chu doesn't keep silent and Xian wants to return to his hometown, it will be difficult to meet the emperor."
Xun Chen also had similar worries, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Can you please make a recommendation, Madam?"
"Why don't you go directly to see the emperor? Why don't you let me, a woman, go to see him?" Mrs. Yuan asked.
Xun Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, you don't know something. The last time I went to Chang'an, I wanted to see him, but the emperor refused, which also brought trouble to the noble man. Although madam is a woman, she is bold and heroic, and with the emperor's respect for women,
Even without the honor of your honorable husband Yang Gong and your son Dezu, the emperor would be more likely to see you than to see me."
Mrs. Yuan was flattered by Xun Chen, but it was hard to refuse.
But since she had no official position, it was definitely not appropriate for her to rush to see the emperor. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to send someone to see Ma Yunlu and ask Ma Yunlu to give her advice.
Ma Yunlu is not a meddlesome person, but she was ordered to escort Yuan Quan eastward and formed a deep friendship with Yuan Quan. After she returned to Chang'an, the two kept in contact, and Yuan Quan kept sending her things every now and then.
, wrote a letter. Now that Yuan Quan's aunt came to visit her, she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Looking for an opportunity, she told Liu Xie about Yuan Shao's situation.
Liu Xie was not surprised to learn that Yuan Shao was so ill that he could only breathe and could not see his driver.
After all, Yuan Shao fell ill after being put under house arrest by Yuan Tan and never recovered.
With the current situation, Yuan Shao had no reason to get better. Liu Xie was surprised that he was not immediately angry to death.
In his opinion, Yuan Shao had no reason to live. Wouldn't it be nice to get it over with?
Maybe it’s like Xun Yu said, afraid of pain?
After some consideration, Liu Xie decided to meet Mrs. Yuan and listen to her explain the reasons.
Apart from anything else, as Yang Biao's wife and Yang Xiu's biological mother, I still have to give her this face.
After receiving the news from Ma Yunlu, Mrs. Yuan rushed to Pingguan as soon as possible.
Liu Xie had met Yang Biao and Yang Xiu and his son countless times, but this was the first time he met Mrs. Yuan. At first glance, he saw the shadow of Yuan Quan in Mrs. Yuan. Not only did the two look somewhat similar,
His temperament is more like that. You can tell from a glance that he is from a noble family, and he is smart and strong.
No wonder Yang Biao and his son were pinched so hard.
