Yuan Shao secretly mobilized his troops and ordered his general Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu to lead him to Yingchuan, mobilized private troops to detour and intercept Xiahou Lan.

If Ye Zhao led his troops, Yuan Shao might be more cautious. After all, there are too many cases of Ye Zhao winning with less. In the battle between Nanyang and Xiue, Yuan Shao had seen Ye Zhao fight with a partial teacher and student to defeat the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army elites of Zhao Hong's troops, which made Huangfu Song's arrangement unnecessary.

When Muye protected the carriage, Ye Zhao also defeated the more with less, which gave Liu Hong a bloody path, causing the Luoyang party members to be killed by Liu Hong to flow into a river.

If Ye Zhao leads his troops, not to mention 4,000 or 40,000, they have to be carefully arranged. He is the master who can turn the tables whenever he has the chance. But if he is just a side general under Ye Zhao, Yuan Shao doesn't care too much. It would be enough to have Ye Zhao like that. He doesn't believe that everyone under Ye Zhao is so powerful.

"Benchu!" Yuan Shao was about to go back to the house and was called by someone. Looking back, Yuan Wei appeared behind him at some point.

"Uncle." Yuan Shao quickly bowed and stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Why is Uncle here?"

"I heard that you mobilized new recruits in Xiyuan and contacted Yingchuan gentry again. What happened? Qian Shuo has sent someone to ask, although you are in charge of the army in the Central Army, you are still controlled by Qian Shuo in the end. How can you mobilize troops without authorization?" Yuan Wei brought Yuan Shao to the study room and frowned and looked at Yuan Shao.

"Uncle, the child got the news. Ye Zhao hurriedly sent someone to send his family out of Luoyang and go to Huai County early this morning." Yuan Shao smiled and said, "The child must have noticed something, so..."

"Even if he noticed something, if he had any plans, he would not let you find it." Yuan Wei snorted coldly, "Then Xiahou Lan is just an unknown soldier. With two thousand elite soldiers escorting him, will Ye Zhao feel at ease to entrust his wife and children's lives? Is it so easy for you to find out the news?"

"Uncle, don't worry, the child has bribed a manager in Ye Zhao's mansion, and the news is correct." Yuan Shao smiled confidently.

"Let me guess, the manager must be untrusted by Ye Zhao in the mansion, and he is also suppressed by others. He is not doing well, but he still has some power to know most of the things in the mansion, right?" Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao and sneered.

"Uh... Uncle also has a secret thread in Ye's Mansion?" Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yuan Wei in confusion.

"Even if not, I can guess!" Yuan Wei sneered: "If I were Ye Zhao, if I wanted to disclose the information in the mansion to you, I would pick out such a person to let you bribe them, and then I would release some irrelevant news to you. At the critical moment, I would deliberately reveal some misleading information and make you fall into a big fuss!"

"Uncle said that the purpose of this bait released by Xiahou Lanna by Ye Zhao was to lure us to attack?" Yuan Shao said in shock: "Ran Shao sent someone to keep a close eye on the Ye Mansion, but did not notice any other abnormalities."

"How cautious Ye Zhao is?" Yuan Wei sighed, "If he wanted to do something, how could he teach you how to find out the news so easily?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he turned around and left without saying a word.

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Wei called Yuan Shao and asked.

"I ordered Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu to come back immediately. Since it is not the real Ye Zhao family, why should I waste my troops?" Yuan Shao replied.

"What if Ye Zhao deliberately made you guess like this?" Yuan Wei asked back.

"Ah~?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Wei and frowned: "It's just that, how do you determine which way is true?"

"Then you have to think about where Ye Zhao can go besides Hanoi?" Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Ye Zhao is indeed powerful in this Luoyang City. When he left Luoyang City, who knows him?"

The knowledge here is not that he does not know Ye Zhao, but who else would sell Ye Zhao's face. This is also the biggest difference between Ye Zhao and the Yuan family. Ye Zhao is powerful in Luoyang, but who would starve Ye Zhao? Because the governors of the Central Plains advised Liu Hong to directly replace the governor, everyone hated him for the matter of prefect. It can be said that if Ye Zhao left Luoyang, it would be almost everyone to beat him. The Yuan family's four generations and three masters, and their disciples and former officials were everywhere. Even if they left Luoyang, with the current momentum of the Yuan family, they could almost be said to be able to go to the world.

So if Ye Zhao left Luoyang now, there were not many places he could go to except Hanoi. Ye Zhao would have difficulty walking in a place where scholars gathered.

"The child can't think of it. Even if there is a bitter and cold place like Youbing Xiliang or a barren place like Jiangdong, there may not be a place for him to be there! What's more, the princess is delicate and pregnant. First, she can't bear the pain of bumps, and second, the bitter and cold place is definitely not a place for the princess to go." Yuan Shao frowned. Thinking of this, Ye Zhao really has nowhere to go except Hanoi.

"So, perhaps it was Ye Zhao's former suspicion array, so Xiahou Lan might really escort Ye Zhao's family." Yuan Wei smiled and said, "You can order people to attack Xiahou Lan's troops first."

"But if not?" Yuan Shao frowned.

"You also said that the princess is delicate and pregnant, and she cannot bear the pain of bumps. She will definitely be difficult to rush and she will be slow. During these days, you can wait for news from Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu while observing the dynamics of Ye Zhao's other tribes. As long as the princess is there, there will always be flaws. And I think about it. If Ye Zhao does not go to Hanoi, the place he chose will probably not be too remote. Please take a closer look."

"Here!" Yuan Shao received Yuan Wei's guidance and his confidence increased greatly. He quickly bowed and wanted to leave, but Yuan Wei called him again.

"You are quite close to the prince's master recently?" Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao and said.

"Isn't Master Zi also close to me?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Wei in confusion.

"Although Wang Zishi is talented, he is too stubborn and has a bold heart, and is not as good as his reputation. This person can be friends with, but he cannot be friends with, but he cannot be very useful." Yuan Wei shook his head. He has been an official for decades and has seen countless talents. Although Wang Yun is talented, he knows very well about his personality. This is not a person who can accomplish great things. Yuan Wei does not want Yuan Shao to get too close to such people. Ye Zhao has something that is actually wrong. Origin does not represent ability.

"I've recorded my nephew." Yuan Shao nodded. Yuan Shao was still very awe-in-command of Yuan Wei, an elder who had been pulling him from his illegitimate children to compete with his disciple Yuan Shu, and he also remembered this matter in his heart.

After the uncle and nephew talked about the current situation in the court, they went back to their rooms separately. Yuan Shao thought about it and called Feng Ji. They decided together that if Ye Zhao didn't know how to stay in Hanoi, where would he be?

Although Ye Zhao thought that someone would take action, he did not expect that his plan would be discovered so quickly by Yuan Wei. Fortunately, no one knew about the secrets of Hanzhong. Otherwise, even his deployment and planning in Hanzhong would have been exposed.

"Lord!" The next evening, Ye Zhao was about to rest, but saw Xi Zhicai coming in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Ye Zhao saw Xi Zhicai's expression was in a hurry, and he felt nervous and quickly stood up and said.

"Please recall Zilong and the princess quickly." Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Ye Zhao said inexplicably.

"This is the news that Ji Ling just sent back. All the troops under the lord's command were monitored. I'm afraid someone has noticed the lord's plan, but he didn't know where the lord wanted to settle his home for a while. He just monitored it, but did not take any action." Xi Zhicai handed a piece of information to Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Hanzhong is where the lord's plan is, but it has not completely belonged to the lord. If it is exposed to others too early, it will be harmful but not beneficial to the lord!"

When Ye Zhao elected Man Chong as the prefect of Hanzhong, he passed Liu Hong directly, and did not go through the normal order. Liu Hong also appointed him directly without any reason. The relationship between Man Chong and Ye Zhao was not known except for a few people in the mansion, so Hanzhong had actually been secretly belonging to Ye Zhao, and few people knew about it. However, looking at the other party's posture this time, it was clearly intended to see where Ye Zhao was going to send his family. Once the matter in Hanzhong was learned, Ye Zhao was now in Luoyang, with Liu Yan in Yizhou and Yuan Shu in Nanyang around Hanzhong. The soldiers and horses in Guanzhong had no good intentions towards Ye Zhao. Once someone wanted to destroy, the Hanzhong would become the target of public criticism. I am afraid that Hanzhong would have to change his ownership before Ye Zhao arrived in Hanzhong.

"Where is there any news at Xiahou Lan?" Ye Zhao felt deep in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"There is no news yet, I'm afraid someone has blocked the way out!" Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.

"Very good!" A murderous intent flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes: "This is to trap me to death in this Luoyang city!"

"He Man!" After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhao shouted outside the door.

"The last general is here!" He Man strode in and bowed to Ye Zhao: "What are the lord's instructions?"

"Immediately hold my command arrow and catch up with Zhao Yun, and ask him to hand over his family to Ji Ling, Fang Yue and the others to escort the princess back to Luoyang. In addition, Zhao Yun does not have to come back, and immediately leads his troops to help Xiahou Lan." Ye Zhao took out a command arrow from his body and handed it to He Man and said solemnly.

According to the rules set in advance, Xiahou Lan would send people back every half a day to report the situation. Now a day has passed, but no news has been received here. I am afraid that someone has taken action. Ye Zhao is not convenient to leave Luoyang now, so he can only let Zhao Yun lead his troops to rescue him.

"He Man didn't ask in detail, but took the order arrow and put it in his arms, then strode away.

Ye Zhao rubbed his temples and said, "If I had known this, I would have sent my family away earlier!"

"The lord should plan for the future at this time." Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice.

"What do Zhicai thinks? Tell me!" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said.
