Chapter 968 (1/2)

No one thought that the trial match was so strong that he would rather die than surrender. He simply set off a fire and enveloped the whole inner city in a sea of fire. No one dared to enter it.

The fire burned all night, making the whole city of Peiping ”bright”. When the fire was a little smaller, Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to carry water to put out the fire.

”General, there are no living people in the city. There are charred corpses everywhere.” After entering, the soldiers who came out again reported to Xu.

”... take out the corpse from the city and give it to Shen Rong.”

In fact, Xu Huang's heart is a little puzzled, the match set fire to the city, can't Yuan Shao also be burned to death? In other words, Yuan Shao was already dead after he was hit by Lv Bu's arrow, so he dared to set fire to the city without fear.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang was suddenly enlightened and ordered: ”go to the prefectures' office and look for it. Maybe you can find Yuan Shao's body.”

It is the so-called ”live to see people, death to see the corpse”, because if you can not see the body, you can not accurately judge whether a person is dead, especially the princes who fight for hegemony over the world, if not, there will be a lot of trouble. As the saying goes, beating a snake will not kill you, but you will hurt yourself.

In the reign of Renzong, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, di Qing was ordered to March south to Nong Zhigao. At that time, Nong Zhigao was very influential in Guangdong and Guangxi, but he was defeated by Di Qing. Di Qing led the army to chase him, and finally trapped him in the lonely city. As a result, Nong Zhigao also set fire to the city. When the fire went out, the song army found a burnt corpse in a dragon robe. Of course, his face could not be seen clearly.

However, di Qing reported the matter to the imperial court. Instead of saying that he had caught Nong Zhigao, he only caught the burnt corpse in the Dragon Robe. Naturally, this matter caused great dissatisfaction with the song army, because if he caught Nong Zhigao, he could ask the court for a reward. As a result, di Qing had to do this.

However, it can also be seen that if we can not accurately grasp the head of the enemy, it will be very troublesome.

Xu Huang sent soldiers to search for Yuan Shao, but he couldn't find Yuan Shao. Naturally, he was worried. At this time, some soldiers reported that someone outside the door knew where Yuan Shao's body was.

”Do you know where Yuan Shao's body is?” Xu Huang stares at the young man in front of him and asks with a little doubt.

”Yes, the villain knows, but if the villain tells General Xu whether he can give the villain a hundred dollars to support his mother?” The young man said without expression.

Xu Huang's face is tinged with admiration. After all, everyone likes filial piety. What's more, the Han Dynasty is the dynasty that attaches great importance to filial piety.

”Good! As long as you tell me where Yuan Shao's body is, and the news is true, you will be given 500 gold, and you can still serve in our army, so that you and your mother will have no worries about food and clothing. ” Xu Huang agreed.

”Yuan Shao's body is in Yuan's house, but it was buried in the ground, so the inner city was burned last night without any damage.”

”Oh? Who are you and how do you know so much about it? ” Xu Huang asked curiously, because this is obviously a big secret that ordinary people can't know.

”My name is Yuan Fang, Yuan Shao... Is my father.” The young man was silent for a while and said with hatred.

”What?” Xu Huang was shocked. There are a lot of people who want to be proud. But it's not good to tell the body of his father like this, right?

”In his eyes, only Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are his sons. The rest are no different from servants. My mother is a concubine in Yuan's house. He was drunk and gave birth to me!” the young man said angrily
