The army walked on the road for two more days, but the Explosive Horses sent to Nanpi to inquire about the news never came back. Although Yuan Tan, who was following the team, had never seen the Explosive Horses return, he still couldn't help but run to Lu Kuang again and again: "General Lu, I wonder if the Explosive Horses you sent have ever returned?"

Lu Kuang initially answered his questions, but the other party asked too many questions, so Lu Kuang was a little annoyed. Every time he saw him coming from behind, he felt like he was rays on his back.

Yuan Tan was still quite aware of each other. Seeing that Lu Kuang was getting colder to him, he guessed that he must have been asking for information about horses frequently, which made Lu Kuang very upset, so he tactfully walked with Yuan Xi in the middle of the team to avoid any contact with the Lu brothers.

Besides, Yuan Shang in Nanpi City had long known that a Jizhou army was coming towards his city. At first, he thought that Han Zhan personally led his troops to avenge him, but he was frightened. Fortunately, a loyal adviser Shen Pei persuaded him: "Young master, don't worry, there is Gongsun Zan's army separated from Nanpi and Jizhou. Even if they want to come here, it is not easy. Now the rumors in the city are not ruled out that someone is spreading rumors and trying to cause panic in the city. In my opinion, we should send a visitor to find out whether there are really Jizhou soldiers coming towards us."

Yuan Shang quickly agreed to Shen Pei's proposal, and then he sent several teams to explore the horses to find out if there were any soldiers from Jizhou coming towards the south.

After receiving the news that a soldier came towards Nanpi, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others, who had always been incompatible with Yuan Shang, immediately sent a scattered horse to inquire. Today, the scattered horse reported the news to them. Because the matter was of great importance, the three of them gathered together to study countermeasures.

Guo Tu said to the Xin Ping brothers: "According to the horse detective, there is a Jizhou army with a population of about 3,000, coming along the official road towards the south."

"I don't know why the Han family's children sent only 3,000 troops to seize our Nanpi. It's simply whimsical." As soon as Guo Tu finished speaking, Xin Ping continued: "Even if they are brave and good at fighting, we only need to send 10,000 troops to defeat them."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Xinpi said worriedly: "Maybe these three thousand men are just pioneers, and the army in Jizhou may be still behind."

"You two are too worried." Regarding the concerns between Xin Ping and his brothers, Guo Tu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the children of the Han family must be busy with spring plowing at this moment. How could they send a large army to attack Nanpi? I'm afraid there is another plan."

"Is there another plot?" After hearing Guo Tu say this, Xin Ping asked curiously: "I don't know what they are trying to do?"

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I see that I need to send another horse to find out."

"Public Ze," Xin Ping looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Do you think we need to report this to the young master?"

"No, no, no," Guo Tu and the Xin brothers had a good relationship with Yuan Tan, and they always disobeyed Yuan Shang. When they heard Xin Ping ask whether the matter was needed to be reported, he stopped the other party in time and said: "If we all knew that the Jizhou army was about to invade, would the spies under the young master not know about this?"

After listening to Guo Tu's opinions, Xin Ping asked tentatively: "Public Ze, do you mean to conceal this matter and not report it to the young master for the time being?"

"That's right, that's exactly what it is." Guo Tu said helplessly: "Since the lord's defeat at Jieqiao, he has disappeared so far, and he may have been hit by the Han family's children. We have been in a state of disagreement with the young master. Even if we really defect to him, he may not trust us."

Just as Guo Tu planned to send another group of horses to inquire about Zhang Ji's news. Unexpectedly, before the horses were set off, a soldier rushed in from outside. The other party hurriedly said to Guo Tu: "Mr. Guo, good news, good news."

When they heard that there was good news, the three of them were all focused on the soldiers who reported the news. Guo Tu couldn't wait to ask: "What good news is it? Tell me quickly?"

The soldier said excitedly: "Report to the three gentlemen, I will seek the horse and return it. Among the soldiers who came to Nanpi, I met the eldest son and the second son."

"What, the eldest son and the second son are still alive?" When he learned that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who had long thought they had died, were still alive, and were following a Jizhou army and were coming towards Nanpi, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others, who were always loyal to Yuan Tan, were moved to tears.

However, after a brief excitement, Shen Pei found many questions: "Why were the two young men sent back to Nanpi?"

"Don't you understand this?" Xin Pi suddenly spoke, "This is just a plan to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger in Jizhou. Don't look at how the Yuan brothers are in front of outsiders, if they are friendly and respectful, they will still be together in appearance and separation."

After the soldiers and the three others calmed down again, they continued: "There is a messenger outside who is said to be from Jizhou. He sent letters from two young masters. I wonder if several adults can read it?"

"What messenger sent from Jizhou?" The three of them became excited when they heard the soldiers say this. Guo Tu hurriedly ordered: "Hurry and invite me!"

A moment later, the envoy sent by Zhao Yun followed the soldiers into the conference hall. Guo Tu and others knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted him, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Reply to Mr.," the messenger, who was the messenger, saw Guo Tu's excited look, guessed that these people were the people Yuan Tan entrusted him to find, and said politely: "Our army is escorting Master Yuan and the Second Master Yuan to Nanpi, hoping that you can send a team of troops to greet him."

"What, the two young men are really in the Jizhou army?" Although Guo Tu had long guessed that the Yuan brothers were still alive, he was still very excited when he heard the news. "Zhongzhi, George, you two tell me, how should we deal with it?"

"The two young masters and young masters have always had a disagreement. If they return to Nanpi, it means they will fight with young masters." Xinpi said cautiously: "What should you do if the two sides fight?"

"You and I are both the former subordinates of General Yuan Tan. If the eldest son returns to Nanpi, we must stand on his side and help him replace the young son." Guo Tu said cautiously: "If you stand by and watch, once the eldest son fails, the Yuan family will fall into an unfavorable residents."

The army walked on the road for two more days, but the Explosive Horses sent to Nanpi to inquire about the news never came back. Although Yuan Tan, who was following the team, had never seen the Explosive Horses return, he still couldn't help but run to Lu Kuang again and again: "General Lu, I wonder if the Explosive Horses you sent have ever returned?"
