Chapter 72 Yuan Benchu, mean and widowed(2/2)
"What Gongzhi said coincides with what I think!" Yuan Shao said.
Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yuan Shao didn't like this strategy.
How did he know that Yuan Shao liked to do this kind of thing the most.
In another time and space, Yuan Shao and Gong Sun Zan were at war, and Ji Yong from Qinghe betrayed Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao could have sent anyone to attack, but he sent Zhu Ling, a young man with a family in the city, to attack. Ji Yong was not a son of a man, and actually kidnapped Zhu Ling's family.
He acted as a hostage, causing Zhu Ling to attack the city in tears.
In the end, the city was captured, but Zhu Ling's family was also killed. Zhu Ling's reputation for selflessness was also gained from this battle.
Now, he sent Ding Yuan to play a father-son game. He wanted to kill Lu Bu, and he wanted to test the loyalty of his subordinates. He just wanted to win.
Have you ever thought that the human heart is the least able to withstand temptation? There are no longer a few people in Yuan Shao's camp who support Cao, and Yuan Shao is also labeled as mean and unkind.
Soon, Yuan Shao's military orders reached Juyang County, where Ding Yuan was stationed.
After reading the order, Ding Yuan was stunned, and Ding Yuan's deputy Zhang Yang was also stunned.
When it comes to military and political affairs, it is customary to avoid relatives and avoid suspicion. Even in the late Han Dynasty, filial piety and reputation were emphasized, and the culture of revenge prevailed. Sending enemies to do such things might gain a good reputation, but Yuan Shao preferred to do it the other way around.
"Jianyang, this matter is difficult to handle." Zhang Yang made a direct conclusion.
It's not easy to get over the hurdle at first. Although it may be okay to cut off the relationship and never have contact with each other until death, but if they use their swords to fight, they will definitely make people laugh.
He, Ding Jianyang, has never thought of being so ugly.
Then again, others may not be aware of Lu Bu's power, but Ding Yuan and Zhang Yang knew clearly that he was defeated by Xu Rong and Fan Chou together, and the number of troops gathered was less than 3,000, some of which were new recruits.
Dealing with Lu Bu? No idea!
Even if he wins by luck, everyone in the world will laugh at him, but if he loses... he has already lost to Xu Rong once, can he still afford to lose?
"This battle must not be fought, and the orders of Zhou Mu cannot be violated!" Ding Yuan said in a dilemma, "Reply Yuan Shao, I fought with Xu Rong and was wounded."
After saying that, Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly walked to the quiver on the side, took out an arrow from it, and stabbed it hard into his left arm. Immediately, the arrow was thrown into it, and blood spattered.
"Jianyang, you..."
"Act true, Uncle Zhi, bandage it for me and write a reply to Yuan Shao at the same time." Ding Yuan covered his hands and sat down.
Zhang Yang immediately called someone to get the bandaging tools and personally bandaged Ding Yuan to stop the bleeding.
"You have such a serious temper. Even if you really don't go, what can Yuan Shao do?" Zhang Yang said angrily.
Ding Yuan originally thought that as a prefect, he would no longer have to be bossed around by others, but he did not expect that not only would he have to be bossed around by others, but he would also have to sweat and bleed for the Yuan family.
He has endured eating people's money and food, doing things for others, and now Luoyang and Bingzhou are places he can't go back to, but he never expected that——
Yuan Shao actually asked him to attack Lu Bu!
My uncle couldn't bear it and my aunt couldn't bear it. It would have been Zhang Xiu's turn.
Pretend to be injured, but really injured, this is a step up for Yuan Shao. I hope he can think more about whether it is appropriate to issue such an order!
So Zhang Yang sent the letter to Yuan Shao. After going back and forth, Yuan Shao soon saw Zhang Yang's letter. The letter stated that Ding Yuan was hit by an arrow and was recovering from his injuries. It was not appropriate to go to war.
"Lord, this must be Ding Yuan's pretext!" Guo Tu saw through it immediately and said: "If Ding Yuan was injured in the battle, he should come and report it early!"
It's not that Yuan Shao didn't understand what Guo Tu meant, but just as Ding Yuan thought, he pondered the matter deeply.
After a long time, he looked at Guo Tu and said, "I know what Ding Yuan means!"
