Looking at the bright sun above his head, Yuan Shu suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
"My lord, why don't you go out for a walk now? After all, we are in Liangzhou, not Jizhou."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Dian Wei couldn't help but be stunned. Is it really appropriate to go to the suburbs now?
After all, Liangzhou has not yet recovered. If some thieves appear and disturb Yuan Shu, it will be his own fault.
"It's okay. Where in the world can't I go without you?"
Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously. After all, there was a strong general like Dian Wei around Jincheng, so he felt that nothing would go wrong.
"Since my lord wants to go, let's go."
Since Yuan Shu insisted, Dian Wei had nothing to say and could only nod his head and agreed to Yuan Shu's request.
"Let's go."
Yuan Shu waved his hand and walked directly outside, while Dian Wei led two teams and a hundred guards to follow Yuan Shu towards the outside of the city.
The group did not run wildly, but rode their horses slowly, admiring the scenery outside Jincheng that was different from that in Jizhou.
Immediately after Yuan Shu left, an inconspicuous person entered Cheng Gongying's mansion.
"Sir, Yuan Shu has left the city."
That person directly thought of Gong Ying and reported Yuan Shu's whereabouts.
"Yeah?
How many people did he bring out of the city?"
Hearing that person's words, a light flashed in Cheng Gongying's eyes.
"Only a hundred personal guards."
Cheng Gongying also felt the man's excitement when he spoke.
"Sir, Yuan Shu only brought a hundred people out of the city. This is a good opportunity."
The man in Confucian clothing standing next to Cheng Gongying also looked at him with great excitement.
“Dongshan, do you think we can kill Yuan Shu?
If we are not fully prepared and are escaped by Yuan Shu, not only us, but also our lord and even the entire Han Sui faction will face purges.
Even if we can kill Yuan Shu, with Xun You's talent, we can guess who did it. Not only will we not be able to help our lord escape Yuan Shu's control, but we will also implicate thousands of innocent people, and Jincheng will be bleeding.
It became a river, filled with corpses."
Cheng Gongying thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"Sir, if we don't take any action, we can only watch our lord become like an idle rich man like Han Fu."
Hearing Cheng Gongying's words, the man in Confucian clothing couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Dongshan, can't you still see clearly the general trend of the world?
Yuan Shu now has the power to devour the world. Anyone who wants to stop him is like a fly shaking a tree. At least he is not something that the current lord or even Liangzhou can resist.
If you really kill Yuan Shu, it will only benefit other princes, but it will be harmful to our lord without any benefit.
Rather than ruining the lord's family and causing the Jincheng to become a river of blood and a mountain of corpses, it is better to recognize the reality and sincerely surrender to Yuan Shu, so that the lord and himself can find a way out."
Although Cheng Gongying said this, his heart was full of unwillingness. Didn't he know that it was not good to live under someone else's roof?
Doesn't he know that it is not good to let Han Sui become the king?
But their strength is really too small compared to Yuan Shu. If they have 100,000 elite soldiers, he will definitely kill Yuan Shu now, recruit his soldiers and horses, defeat Ma Teng and occupy Liangzhou
, and then sent troops to merge with the state and achieve great supremacy,
They do not have such strength, so they have no choice but to surrender. The law of the jungle is a truth that has existed on the earth since ancient times.
"Is this really the only way to go?"
The eyes of the man in Confucian clothing were full of unwillingness.
"Dongshan, believe me, this is the best choice. For the sake of the lord, yourself and the people of Jincheng, don't make any unnecessary resistance."
Cheng Gongying spoke to the man very sincerely.
"Okay, I get it. It's better to be an idle rich man than to lose your life."
Although the man in Confucian clothing was unwilling to give in, Cheng Gongying was telling the truth. Since he was unable to resist, he should choose to surrender.
A murder against Yuan Shu was aborted, but what Cheng Gongying didn't know was that their giving up did not save Yuan Shu, but saved themselves.
Because Xun You had already arranged a secret sentry outside his mansion. If any problem happened to them, the army would capture them as soon as possible.
In fact, not only Cheng Gongying, but also all the generals of Han Sui's line were under the supervision of Xun You. If there was any trouble with them, the first thing they would have to face was the killing move of the secret guard.
Wandering in the wilderness of the countryside, feeling the wind blowing from all directions, Yuan Shu really felt very comfortable.
"Dian Wei, how long has it been since we last had the wind blowing in the wilderness like this?"
Glancing at Dian Wei beside him, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile.
"It must have been at least half a year, because during this time I was either fighting against Zhang Yang in Bingzhou, rescuing Tao Qian in Xuzhou, or fighting against Liu Bei in Yanzhou. How could I have time for such a leisurely trip?"
Dian Wei felt very comfortable now. He was riding a horse and enjoying the wind. He didn't have to think about the flashes of swords or the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It was really nice.
"Yes, I have been fighting for a long time, so you must be feeling very tired."
Yuan Shu looked at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
"Dian Wei is neither tired nor tired."
Dian Wei couldn't figure out what was in Yuan Shu's mind, but one thing was certain, no matter how tired he was, he would never tell Yuan Shu.
"What I mean is that you are not the only one who is tired. Now the entire Jizhou Army is tired and exhausted. Let's take a rest after Liangzhou is captured."
Yuan Shu patted Dian Wei on the shoulder. He didn't mean to target Dian Wei, but that the Jizhou legions had been fighting too frequently during this period. Although the strength was still there, several main legions were operating at full capacity. They needed it now.
Rested.
"It's really a blessing for everyone that my lord can think about the troops, but sometimes the development of the war is unpredictable. Willpower is also a very important factor in measuring an army. If the main army can't even persist in this, they will
It’s also a waste of my lord’s expectations for them.”
Although Yuan Shu was considerate of his soldiers, wars are now frequent, and sometimes they cannot rest and recuperate if they want. Besides, they are paid as soldiers and go into battle to kill the enemy. This is their fate. This is an unavoidable fact. As long as they don't die, they can't rest.
The fighting didn't stop.
"Well, let's talk about this later. If you're thirsty, go over there and ask for a drink of water."
The group of people had been walking for an hour unknowingly, and they were more than ten miles away from Jincheng. There was a village just in front of them. Yuan Shu took Dian Wei and five personal guards and walked in. The remaining ninety-five personal guards were in the village.
Stand by outside the village.
"who?"
Seeing the troops around Yuan Shu, a dozen middle-aged men pointed at Yuan Shu with steel forks in their hands and faces full of warning.
"It's okay, we were just passing by and wanted to ask for a drink."
