Chapter 561
"Immediately send elite cavalry to Youzhou to report the situation!"
Yuan Tan rushed down the city, making arrangements while running.
He immediately wrote a letter in his own handwriting, telling the emergency situation in Yecheng in full.
He repeatedly told the elite cavalry ahead, and made sure to explain the crisis in Yecheng in detail.
"Young Master!" Tian Feng stepped forward and said.
"Please let me follow the elite cavalry."
"Such news must require a person of some weight."
"Otherwise, the lord may not believe it."
"It is even more difficult to make an accurate judgment."
Yuan Tan made a prompt decision, "Okay!"
"Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yuan Hao."
"I won't be polite. The situation is critical now. You should set off immediately."
"There are dangers everywhere outside. I hope you take care of yourself."
As he said this, Yuan Tan knelt down on one knee.
"The foundation of Yecheng depends on you alone."
"I hope you can complete the task."
Tian Feng immediately leaned over to help, "Young Master, this is absolutely not allowed."
He couldn't persuade Yuan Tan, who had learned martial arts since childhood, and his face was full of anxiety.
"This is killing me."
"It is my duty to serve my lord."
"It is my duty to be loyal to my lord."
"Don't worry, young master. I will do my best."
"Tell my lord about the crisis in Yecheng and persuade him to return to defend immediately."
"Otherwise, the foundation will be lost, the rear will be unstable, and the front will have no intention of fighting."
"Tang Hai must have a countermeasure."
"We must not make a wrong choice under the opponent's offensive."
"Otherwise, one mistake will create eternal hatred!"
Yuan Tan stood up, his eyes flashing with mutual respect, "Sir, you are really talented."
"If one day, I can control the power of Jizhou, I will definitely make you the head of my advisers."
At the critical moment, Yuan Tan no longer concealed his purpose.
Said it bluntly.
Tian Feng naturally understood what the other party meant.
"Don't worry, young master. Since ancient times, the eldest has been chosen over the youngest."
"My lord is simply bewitched by the person beside you."
"So he couldn't make up his mind."
"When the matter today reaches my lord, he will know that I am the one who is entrusted."
"I will also speak well of you when I go."
"Don't worry, young master."
The two looked at each other, Tian Feng said goodbye and turned away.
There was no dragging his feet at all.
Facing the soldiers of Tang Hai outside the city, a civil servant took an indomitable attitude.
It touched Yuan Tan's heart.
Such a loyal and righteous person was excluded.
Where is justice!
"Alas!"
Yuan Tan sighed.
There were thousands of ideas in his mind, but he couldn't express them.
It made him feel like a huge stone was pressing on his chest.
His breathing became difficult.
"Brother." Yuan Xi pulled Yuan Tan over and said in a low voice close to him.
"This is a good opportunity."
"The army outside the city is approaching, and we don't know when the city will be destroyed and people will die."
"But this is our chance to attack that kid."
"Why not have someone pass the news of the crisis to the mansion."
"Exaggerate the danger."
"That kid is young and his mentality must be unstable."
"Moreover, his female relatives are in charge, and they will definitely want to escape from the city and go north to seek refuge with their father."
"When the time comes..."
Yuan Xi's eyes turned cold, and the cold light flashed.
Yuan Tan understood.
This is one of his few opportunities.
And it is also his best opportunity.
No need to do it yourself.
Women have long hair and short knowledge, how can they know that there are dangers outside the city.
Yuan Tan thought for a moment, "Does that kid have any of our people in his family?"
Yuan Xi replied, "If you have money, why are you afraid of not having it?"
"Do it immediately." Yuan Tan's eyes turned cold, "Also, add some strength."
"Cover up the matter of Tang Hai's cavalry."
"Let all the servants in the mansion know that the city will be breached by Tang Hai soon."
"If the other party shouts slogans outside the city, all members of the Yuan family... will be beheaded!"
Yuan Xi responded and turned to make arrangements.
Yuan Tan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the ceiling of the hall of the official temple.
If this matter succeeds, Yuan Shao will have to establish him as the eldest son even if he is helpless.
He finally understood why those who are favored are always fearless.
He wants to completely erase that fearlessness!
...
The mansion of the governor.
Yuan Shang, who was seven or eight years old, was playing with the maid in the inner courtyard.
His mother was watching with a few servants on the side, and was amused and giggled.
Suddenly, an old housekeeper came in a hurry.
He leaned against Yuan Shang's mother and whispered.
Yuan Shang's mother's face changed drastically.
"Are you serious?"
The old housekeeper nodded vigorously, "It will be too late if we don't leave now."
"The city is surrounded on three sides, and the Tanghai army will start attacking the city at any time.”
“A hundred thousand troops are attacking, and there are only ten thousand old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the city.”
“It is impossible to resist.”
Yuan Shao’s mother’s face changed repeatedly, “This…what should we do!”
The old housekeeper immediately suggested: “Madam, we should make a quick decision. We will ride out of the city and head north to join the governor.”
“If we stay here, Tang Hai’s army will break into the city. Not to mention you, the young master will not survive!”
“You should make a decision early.”
The old housekeeper’s eyes flashed with a cunning, secretly observing Yuan Shang’s mother’s face.
“Okay! "Yuan Shang's mother frowned and decided to immediately arrange for people to pack up.
She didn't want any gold or silver, and traveled light.
For her, her son Yuan Shang was the most important thing.
As long as her son was there, she would not lose any glory and wealth.
She rode lightly on a fast horse, brought some followers, and secretly came to the north gate.
But she didn't know that someone secretly saw all their whereabouts.
"Who are you!" The gate guard shouted loudly, "Don't you know what time it is now? You dare to..."
Snap!
The gate guard's scolding was greeted by a loud whip flower.
Yuan Shang's mother shouted loudly: "How dare the gatekeeper dog bark?"
"I am the mistress of Jizhou, open the gate quickly."
"We are ordered by the governor to go north to meet up."
"You have delayed our opportunity to leave the city, and you will all be beheaded in the market! "
The guard at the city gate was terrified.
He didn't know the others, but he knew the old housekeeper of the governor's mansion.
At this moment, she was leading a horse. With her respectful attitude, the woman on the horse, dressed in luxurious clothes, was a person of high status.
He didn't care what the other party was going to do, he couldn't afford to offend her.
Immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let the group out.
"My lady, I forgot to bring something important!" said the old housekeeper.
"You go first, I will go back to the mansion to get it, and then I will catch up with you at full speed."
Yuan Shang's mother was determined to leave Yecheng, and she waved her hand impatiently, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
After that, she took a team of 20 or 30 people and galloped northward, without waiting for the old housekeeper.
Outside the city, Zhang Liao received the news.
It was learned that a group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes were galloping northward.
"Let them go. "
He ordered his soldiers, "Surround three sides and leave one side open, in order to let people out of the city."
Zhang Liao clenched the document in his hand. Liu Yu had already anticipated all this!
He secretly thought that it was very likely that the lord had even guessed the identity of the person leaving the city!
