Chapter 153 The Missing Yuan Shu
Luoyang.Sikong Mansion
The setting sun is like blood, hanging alone in the sky.
A horse galloped from the official road as if it was flying. The horse knight was covered in dust. Seeing his pale and anxious face full of words "urgent".
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
A shrill roar resounded throughout the Luoyang Garrison, and pedestrians dodged one after another.
"Who..."
"It's Yuan's servant!"
As soon as the gate of the Garrison stopped, the sharp-eyed Garrison Sima stopped him.
The knight rode his horse straight into the city and followed the spacious Luoyang Avenue to Sikong Yuan Feng's mansion.
...
At this time, Yuan Fengzheng had a banquet with relatives and friends such as Yuan Wei, Wang Yun, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, etc., and the atmosphere was the hottest.
Suddenly there was a riot outside the house, and then there were rapid footsteps coming towards the hall.
"Who is making noise outside the door?"
Yuan Feng, who looked unconscious, frowned and shouted loudly.
"The head of the family, something big is not good!"
At the door opened, the old butler of Yuan's mansion ran into the room with a look of pride. He didn't care that there were outsiders in the house, so he reported it.
"The news came from Yuan Fu, who was sent to Qingzhou, that the second young master did not go to Qingzhou!"
The housekeeper's notice made Yuan Feng stunned. How could Yuan Shu not go to Qingzhou?
"Didn't you go to Qingzhou on the road?"
"Then where did he go?"
Yuan Feng was curious about Yuan Shu's whereabouts. Everyone sitting in the hall looked surprised and inexplicable. They put down the wine bottles in their hands and looked at the butler of Yuan.
"What tricks does Yuan Highway play?"
Cao Cao, who raised his eyebrows, looked at the Yuan family butler and Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei's expressions with his narrow eyes quietly, wondering if this would be another pre-arranged scene.
Cao Cao knew very well that Yuan Shu was seeking the prime minister of Jinan and actively sent troops to Qingzhou to eliminate the Yellow Turban, which must be aimed at the future Qingzhou master.
"Hiss, it doesn't seem fake!"
Although only a few breaths, Cao Cao could tell the truth about the expressions of the Yuan family's masters and servants.
"Hehe, this willful Yuan Gaolu was not the news that the emperor had just been called Jinan Prime Minister, but he heard the news that the emperor had named Tao Ying the Marquis of Jinan. He could not accept such a slap in the face, so he deliberately refused to take office, right?"
Cao Cao, who thought about it more and more reasonable, was originally a little envious of Yuan Shu for having a good background, but at this time he felt relieved with gloating. Looking at Yuan Feng with a surprised face, a sarcastic sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
...
"According to the news sent back by Yuan Fu, the second young master stayed in Feicheng, Jibei for a short time and entered Taishan County early the next morning, and he lost his trace since then!"
The butler of Yuan's family, who was also surprised, truthfully answered Yuan Feng's inquiry.
"What?"
"Missing?"
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Yuan Feng sat up suddenly and quickly knocked over the wine bottle on the table. The turbid wine flowed down the table and wet Yuan Feng's shoes and socks.
"Yang Hong, where is Yu She?"
Yuan Feng, who was embarrassed, immediately asked about other people's news.
"The second young master and five thousand men lost their news!"
Yuan Feng himself didn't care about his dignity, and the housekeeper would not avoid the important things and quickly replied to Yuan Feng's question.
"What..."
"Hiss..."
"Ah..."
Now, not only Yuan Feng was shocked, but even Wang Yun, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were shocked.
"The road will not encounter Taishan bandits, and the entire army will be wiped out, right?"
Yuan Shao's first reaction was that Yuan Shu, who went out under the name of suppressing bandits, may be in danger this time.
Although he has any objections to Yuan Shu, the younger brother of Yuan's family, he is his own younger brother after all. Yuan Shao is not nervous about his life and death, that is fake.
"This is impossible!"
Cao Cao changed his gloating just now and denied Yuan Shao's speculation with a serious expression.
"The bandits in Taishan County have long been wiped out by the Marquis of Jinan, and it is impossible for any more bandits to appear."
However, Cao Cao did not dare to be too sure and raised tactful questions.
"Besides, Yuan Gaolu has five thousand well-equipped troops, one thousand of which are cavalry. If the five thousand troops are wiped out, the bandits in Taishan must mobilize at least tens of thousands of troops to do it!"
Cao Cao's analysis was immediately unanimously recognized by everyone.
"Meng De's words make sense. If we really encounter tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits, even if the infantry is difficult to survive, it should not be a problem for the cavalry to break through the siege. We will never be able to spread any news!"
Wang Yun knew Yuan Shu, and with Yuan Shu's deceit, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban bandits to kill him.
"Tsk tsk, this is such a good bargaining chip to threaten Yuan's family. No matter how stupid the Yellow Turban thief is, he will not destroy the 'money and grain bag' he got!"
"Besides, when it really comes to that point, if the Yellow Turban Thief is not smart enough, in order to survive, Yuan Shu will teach the Yellow Turban Thief how to threaten the Yuan family!"
Although Wang Yun was not very concerned about Yuan Shu's life and death, he still became a little curious about Yuan Shu's movement trajectory.
"Yuan Sikong, didn't the highway go to Jinan to take up a job? How could he go to Taishan County?"
Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei looked at each other quickly, and naturally they would not say that Yuan Shu sent troops to Taishan County, which may be related to the assassination of Zhao Yan, the governor of Qingzhou.
"I don't know much about this!"
Cao Cao captured Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei's gaze was a little dodging, and he had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
"It seems that the purpose of entering Taishan County by Yuan Highway is not simple!"
"It's a pity that I've lost some rice when I steal this time!"
Cao Cao stared at his "good friend" Yuan Shao again to see if he knew about Yuan Shu's trip to Taishan County.
"Benchu, the road to Taishan County is not trying to detour to Jinan Country, right?"
Yuan Shao, who was not sure, looked at Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei's face back and forth. He also wanted to know why Yuan Shu suddenly changed his way to Taishan County.
But Yuan Shao dared to be determined, Yuan Shu would never have helped Tao Ying clear out the bandits in Taishan.
"I don't know very well why the road chooses to go to Taisan County."
Yuan Shao's deep eyes were cast towards Cao Cao, and he looked at him with a playful look.
"Maybe, what kind of emergencies happened to the highway, there is a reason to have to enter Taishan County!"
Yuan Shao knew very well that the reason why Cao Cao asked this was because he suspected that Yuan had an ulterior motive and used Yuan Shu to complete it.
"Let's just come here for today's banquet. Don't blame me for letting go of my happiness. I'll ask you to gather together to apologize in the future!"
If such a thing happened, Yuan Feng naturally had no mood to drink again. He had to find a way to find Yuan Shu's whereabouts.
Everyone also understood Yuan Feng's mood, stood up and left the seat, comforted Yuan Feng a few words, and left Yuan's mansion.
"Benchu, since the road is missing in Taishan County, it is best to find General Wei."
After walking a few steps outside the door, Cao Cao thought a little, he made a suggestion to Yuan Shao who was following him to see him off.
"Maybe General Wei knows where the road is!"
Although Tao Ying was appointed as General of Guard by Emperor Ling and was granted the title of Marquis of Jinan, Tao Ying's position as the prefect of Taishan was not removed.
Therefore, Cao Cao was sure that the movements in Taishan County could not escape Tao Ying's eyes and ears.
Moreover, Cao Cao had a faint feeling that Yuan Shu's sudden disappearance was inseparable from Tao Ying.
"General Wei?"
Yuan Shao, who was staring at Cao Cao, quickly realized who Cao Cao was talking about.
"Tao Ying!"
In Yuan Shao's eyes, Tao Ying was a person with little reputation; or in other words, the Tao playboy who is well-known in the eyes of the world.
"I understand, thank you Meng De for the reminder!"
Cao Cao's reminder made Yuan Shao suddenly feel a little suspicious, and he became more and more confident in thinking. He hurriedly bowed to Cao Cao and hurriedly turned around and walked into the house.
