Yuan Mai took the lead and led two hundred fierce soldiers toward Yecheng.

I saw him wearing silver armor, with a "black horse through clouds" under his crotch, and a sword hangs over the sky; a magic bow of "Clouds and Smokes from Thousand Miles" hung on his saddle, and the red cloak was clamoring against the spring breeze, majestic and heroic.

Following Yuan Mai was Wang Shuang, a fierce general carrying a tiger roaring sword in his hand. Two close-fitting soldiers were surrounded by Zhou Cang and Zhu Ao. One was carrying a machete and the other carried a double sword, with a look of disdain on his face.

Don’t believe that Yecheng is a dragon’s den? Today I would say that I would accompany the young master to make a breakthrough!

In addition to Wang Shuang and the other two, Ju Su and Yuan Yao accompanied him.

Ju Su is an old minister of Yuan Shao, so he naturally needs to go in and visit him. Logically speaking, Tian Feng and Ju Su are almost the same as each other, so they should also go to the city. However, Yuan Mai considered Tian Feng's straightforward personality, afraid that he would offend Yuan Shang and cause unexpected changes in the situation; secondly, he was afraid that if Yuan Shang really turned against him, Zhang He had no one to discuss countermeasures outside. Therefore, after some trade-offs, he left Tian Feng outside the city.

According to family relationships, Yuan Shao was Yuan Yao's uncle. His uncle was seriously injured and his life and death were uncertain. If his nephew didn't go to the city to visit him, it would be unreasonable to be in love or courtesy.

Moreover, Yuan Yao thought he had no interest in Yuan Shang, and was not afraid that Yuan Shang would be unfavorable to him. If the two brothers turned their faces and knelt down and begged for mercy, they might be valued by Yuan Shang again. Therefore, Yuan Yao followed him happily into the city.

After Yuan Mai and others left, Zhang He immediately ordered all soldiers to wear helmets and armor, and polish their weapons. At any time, they would attack the city if the situation was wrong. He also sent a hundred and ten scout cavalry to scatter at the four gates of Yecheng, closely monitoring every move in the city and reporting at any time.

Wherever the horse's hooves went, dust was raised all the way, and in a moment, they arrived at the west gate of Yecheng.

"Well... Listen to the people on the top of the city. Yuan Xianyong, the governor of Bingzhou, came to visit his lord specially. According to Mr. Yuan Shang's request, he only brought 200 followers. Please put down the suspension bridge. Open the city gate and let us enter the city!"

Wang Shuangheng came out of the line, shouted loudly to the top of the city, and ordered the door to open and let go.

The one who stationed at the West Gate was Shen Pei's nephew Shen Rong. Hearing the shouts below, he poked his head out and pointed out the number of people. In addition to Yuan Mai, there were only two hundred followers.

"Haha... I will be polite to Shen Rong!"

In any case, Yuan Mai's identity is here. Shen Rong did not dare to be arrogant. After clicking the number of people, he folded his fists and apologized. "I have to obey. I hope the fourth son will not blame him. Then I will put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and let you enter the city!"

After Shen Rong and Yuan Mai under the city answered, he quietly ordered a soldier to report to Yuan Shang, saying that Yuan Mai immediately went to the city, and then shouted to the sergeant who controlled the suspension bridge: "Drop the suspension bridge and open the city gate!"

"Squeak squeak..."

As the harsh sound of the machine bracket sounded, the turntable pulling the suspension bridge kept rotating, and the suspension bridge slowly fell, connecting the two banks of the wide moat in Yecheng.

"drive……"

With a full shout, Wang Shuang took the lead, carried the tiger's roaring knife in his hand, and flew to the "Snow Lihong" under his crotch, and was the first to break through the suspension bridge. As a general beside Yuan Mai, he had to rush forward to ensure the safety of his lord.

Yuan Mai followed Wang Shuang with a horse riding a horse, Zhu Gongdao carrying a double sword on the left, and Zhou Cang carrying a machete on the right. The two of them surrounded Yuan Mai tightly, and three riders walked in parallel. Two hundred horsemen rode their horses and then rushed into Yecheng like a rush, running towards Yuan's mansion.

In the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shangzheng, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others supported their staff to discuss countermeasures.

The young man sent by Shi Rong came to the mansion and knelt on one knee to report: "Report to the general, Yuan Mai, the governor of Bingzhou, has entered the city!"

"oh?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Mai really dared to enter the city, which surprised Yuan Shang a little. An excited and fierce light appeared in his eyes. He twisted his neck, moved the muscles on his lower neck, and asked murderously: "How many people have you brought?"

"According to your instructions, I only brought two hundred people. If there were too many General Shen, I would not dare to open the city gate!"

Yuan Shang looked down on his face, waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and then looked at Shen Pei, Feng Ji looked at him: "Hehe... Yuan Tan was treacherous and did not dare to enter the city by himself, so he sent Guo Tu to check in. Yuan Mai was honest, or it was a little too tender. Unexpectedly, it was actually delivered to the door. Let's see what to do with it?"

Yuan Shang said, and gestured to kill with his hands: "Do you kill me directly or arrest me first and put me under house arrest?"

Shen Pei and Feng Ji's eyes flashed, and they did not directly answer Yuan Shang's words, but fell into deep thought.

After a while, Shen Pei took the lead in speaking, shook her head and said, "You can't kill or catch!"

"What?" Yuan Shang was very dissatisfied with Shen Pei's answer, and his eyes were as big as a bull's eyes. "This guy fell into the trap and came to the door. If he didn't get rid of him at this time, when would he wait? If he waited for him to return to Bingzhou and let the tiger return to the mountain, it would be too late to regret it!"

Shen Pei pinched her nose and said earnestly: "Three Young Master, you are still a little impetuous and lack a little steadiness. Let me analyze it for you. If Yuan Tan and Yuan buy one into the city, we can catch them all in one place; no matter the rumors outside, even if you bear the temporary infamy, you will catch them all in one place to eliminate future troubles.

After all, except for the two of them, no one in Hebei can threaten your status. No matter how ugly the rumors are, they will disappear under their strong strength...

But the situation has changed now. Only Yuan Buy entered the city, while Yuan Tan did not. If we killed Yuan Buy or put him under house arrest, we will find an excuse for Yuan Tan to attack you, thus winning the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people; after all, not everyone in Ye City is convinced by you...

For example, Chen Lin, Chen Zhen, Han Fan and others, if Yuan Mai and Yuan Tan died at the same time, they had no choice but to surrender to the young master's feet. But if only Yuan Mai died and Yuan Tan was alive, he would make a big fuss with you to get rid of Yuan Mai, and these people would inevitably turn to Yuan Mai..."

Listening to Shen Pei's analysis, Yuan Shang remained silent and carefully considered what Shen Pei said, which was indeed the truth.

Shen Pei continued to add: "In addition to making some people fall towards Yuan Tan, what is even more dangerous is that Yuan Tan will likely take the Bingzhou people in the name of buying revenge for Yuan; if this is true, Yuan Tan's strength will greatly surpass us!"

After listening to Shen Pei's analysis, Yuan Shang felt a little sweat on his forehead.

Shen Pei said it right, this is the most terrifying thing. Yuan Tan has 70,000 or 80,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and Yuan Mai has 70,000 or 80,000 or 80,000 or 80,000. If he kills Yuan Mai, the Bingzhou troops will probably really turn to Yuan Tan, and that in that case, Yuan Tan's strength will greatly surpass him.

If Yuan Mai cannot die, Bingzhou and Qingzhou will be two groups. Even if they are in the alliance, they will not work together like the same lord. It is like the two fists of two people, which is far less perfect than the two fists of one person.

Feng Ji also agreed with Shen Pei's opinion: "Brother Zhengnan said it well, and I think so too. Currently, there are 100,000 troops in Jizhou Corps. In addition to the 20,000 troops stationed in Liyang, Han Meng, and 20,000 troops stationed in Dongwuyang are led by Han Juzi and Su You. There are still 60,000 troops in the city; but these 60,000 troops are not all your direct descendants of Gongzi..."

After hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shang felt even heavier and nodded, "Yes, there are 15,000 Wen Chou people, I guess they are not very obedient..."

"Yes... Wen Chou is absolutely loyal to his lord, but unfortunately his mind will not turn around..." Feng Ji stroked his goatee with a regretful expression, "He said that when his lord was awake, he did not designate a crown prince, so no one planned to support him. He had to wait for his lord to wake up and ask who to make his heir and then choose a supporter. Do you think this brain is stubborn?"

Yuan Shang sneered: "This guy is just a stubborn person. I didn't curse my father. He may never wake up again. Will he leave Hebei forever?"

Shen Pei also realized Wen Chou’s problem: “Yes, keeping Wen Chou is also a hidden danger. If we can kill Yuan Tan and Yuan Mai by surprise, if Wen Chou is willing to support the young master, we will continue to use his ability to command the troops; if this guy doesn’t support him, we will find an excuse to get rid of him. But now if only one of Yuan Mai is killed, if Wen Chou falls to Yuan Tan and opens the city gate to pick up the Qingzhou soldiers, the situation will be troublesome!”

"Hiss... Wen Chou is really a hidden danger!" Yuan Shang took a breath of cold air, "I will fight for it in the next few days. If I can't persuade him, I will transfer him out of Yecheng; if he doesn't want to leave, try to get rid of it!"

Shen Pei and Feng Ji nodded at the same time, agreeing with Yuan Shang's point of view. The only regret is that if they do this, Hebei will lose another general, but compared to supporting Yuan Shang's stable power, they can only bear the pain of giving up.

"Actually, I think I can take the opportunity to win over Yuan Mai this time and use him to deal with Yuan Tan!" Feng Ji's eyes flashed, and he looked like he was a masterpiece.

Shen Pei thought for a while and clapped his hands to agree: "Okay, okay, very good, Yuantu's method is good, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies; since Yuan Mai entered the city alone, we just took the opportunity to win him over. If we can create conflicts and defeat them one by one, great achievements will be expected. If Yuan Mai can turn against us, we will first help the third son to destroy Yuan Tan, and then go back to clean up Bingzhou, so that the situation will be much easier!"

Yuan Shang's eyes turned, and he quickly accepted the suggestions of the two aides, and smiled sinisterly: "Since both of you say this, I think it makes sense. It seems that I have to act in a play and be a good brother?"

Shen Pei and Feng Ji met each other and laughed: "You must act like a kind brother and a filial son!"

"Haha..." The three of them looked at each other and laughed at each other, as if they were playing with people in applause.

At this moment, a shout rang out of the door of the mansion: "Bingzhou Governor Yuan Xianyong is here!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
