Chapter 391

"My lord, compared to your subordinate, the eldest son is the one who is truly suffering!"

Living in this world, everything depends on acting skills.

What's more.

Guo Tu's feelings for Yuan Tan were truly deep and sincere.

Historically, until the very last moment of Guo Tu's life, he still followed closely by Yuan Tan's side.

Perhaps for Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu was a "rhythm master" and a treacherous strategist.

But for Yuan Tan.

Guo Tu was truly a very loyal minister.

At this moment, hearing Guo Tu's tearful complaint.

A trace of doubt suddenly rose in Yuan Shao's heart.

He felt that perhaps there was some hidden story behind Yuan Tan being captured.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked Guo Tu:

"Gongze, could it be that the reason Xiansi was captured is because there was a villain causing trouble behind the scenes?"

Guo Tu nodded heavily.

Then he continued to cry and complain:

"My lord, when the eldest son was captured."

"That scoundrel Tian Yuanhao kept shouting for General Yan Liang and General Chunyu Qiong to lead the army to break out."

"Clearly... clearly the eldest son could have been rescued, but that scoundrel Tian Yuanhao insisted on abandoning the eldest son."

"Only then did the matter of the eldest son being captured happen."

"And after that, that scoundrel Tian Yuanhao also failed to escape Gu Linzhi's pursuit, and was captured one after another with General Chunyu Qiong."

"In the end, only your subordinate and General Yan Liang escaped back with the few remaining remnants."

Guo Tu recounted the sequence of events to Yuan Shao.

But he quietly mixed in some private goods.

In fact.

When Yuan Tan was captured.

Even if Yan Liang, Chunyu Qiong, and others had led the troops to turn back.

It would have already been impossible to rescue Yuan Tan.

Although Tian Feng's personality was stubborn and unfeeling.

But the decision he made at the time.

Was indeed the method that could best stop the losses.

It was just a pity.

He was, in the end, no match for Gu Yi.

Coupled with the fact that Gu Yi's goal was to annihilate the Yuan army as much as possible.

This led to the 70,000 Yuan troops ending up almost completely wiped out.

But after this tampering by Guo Tu.

Tian Feng directly became the culprit who caused Yuan Tan to be captured!

Regardless of whether others believed what Guo Tu said.

At least in Yuan Shao's ears, it was Tian Feng who deliberately wanted Yuan Tan not to return!

In an instant.

Anger filled Yuan Shao's mind.

"Damn Tian Yuanhao, he deserves to die!"

Yuan Shao cursed angrily.

Thinking that after this scoundrel Tian Feng was captured by Gu Yi, he actually chose to surrender, the anger in Yuan Shao's heart grew even stronger.

Many things, once they happen, people always like to get to the bottom of them, to explore the meaning and motives behind them.

Yuan Shao was no exception.

Connecting Tian Feng's failure to rescue Yuan Tan and his surrender to Gu Yi after being captured.

A delusion even arose in Yuan Shao's heart that Tian Feng had long since been turned by Gu Yi and was an undercover agent in the Yuan army.

"Could it be that Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and others are also..."

Yuan Shao's heart was filled with vigilance.

Behind Tian Feng was the entire Hebei faction.

Tian Feng surrendering to Gu Yi, did it mean...

"Gongze, Yan Liang, you two go down and rest for a while first."

"Let me be quiet for a while."

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao temporarily dismissed Guo Tu and Yan Liang.

Instead, he walked into the study, pondering the probability and possibility of the Hebei faction defecting to the enemy.

Of course, Yuan Shao didn't think the Hebei faction would all choose to defect.

But Tian Feng's failure to rescue Yuan Tan and his surrender to Gu Yi sounded an alarm in Yuan Shao's heart.

He didn't dare to trust anyone in the Hebei faction.

Especially Ju Shou, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji.

These three high-ranking members of the Hebei faction.
