Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1056 Meeting
Mrs. Wu listened to the exchange between Yuan Xi and Mrs. Ding from the side. She didn't like it. Was she overthinking it, or could it easily cause misunderstanding?
Mrs. Ding is a smart person, but she is not smart enough to see through the real bottom line under Yuan Xi's face, and she does not dare to take the risk. After all, what Yuan Xi threatens her with is the life of Cao Ang, whom she cares about most.

It was precisely because Yuan Xi understood Mrs. Ding's thoughts that he felt confident.

He was not afraid of Mrs. Ding going back on her word, because he had previously passed on Cao Ang's handwritten letter to make Mrs. Ding confirm that Cao Ang was still alive. In this way, Mrs. Ding did not dare to act rashly.

However, maintaining the status quo is not unacceptable to Madam Ding. She had broken up with Cao Cao and had no plans to return to Xudu. On this premise, Cao Ang is alive and Cao Qing can return home, which is beyond Madam Ding's expectations, so In Mrs. Ding's heart, she had actually begun to give in to Yuan Xi's request.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding said coldly: "I have written down what the envoy said."

"If there is nothing else, please go back."

When Yuan Xi saw her, he didn't hesitate. He stood up and said, "Okay, I believe Madam is a smart person, so I won't say more."

"Farewell."

When Mrs. Wu saw Yuan Xi leaving, she tried to persuade him: "Madam, don't worry, he is not such a heartless person."

"If Madam really wants to live in seclusion, I can try to persuade him slowly. When the world is peaceful in the future, Madam may not be able to regain her freedom one day."

Because in Yuan Xi's eyes, Xun Yu, a die-hard veteran of the Cao family, although he disagreed with Cao Cao's political views, was very loyal and would rather die than change his family. What's more, what Yuan Xi did had nothing to do with Cao Cao. There was no difference, so Yuan Xi simply gave up his thoughts.

Yuan Xi did not insist after hearing this and said, "I heard that your Majesty is here for Cao Cao's wife and daughter?"

Xun Yu gave a few words and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He had heard about Yuan Xi's reputation many times during his years in Cao Ying and knew how much trouble this young man named Fierce Hu had brought to Cao Ying.

Early the next morning, Xun Yu led the delegation to Yuan Xi's official residence. Yuan Xi had been waiting in the atrium for a long time. He received Xun Yu with all the etiquette and etiquette. They were neither rude nor overly intimate.

"Xi doesn't understand. Could it be that in Cao Cao's heart, your king is not as good as a divorced wife and an insignificant daughter?"

Xun Yu declined: "A few minor illnesses are not worth mentioning. Besides, Xun Yu is entrusted by Ming Gong and has a heavy responsibility. He dare not delay."

Mrs. Wu felt the same after hearing this, because this was also her heartache. It was difficult for her to make a clear separation between the Sun family and the Yuan family, so she chose to follow Yuan Xi back to Shouchun to live in seclusion.

"But this is also an extravagant hope. Fighting for the world is a life-and-death battle, and only the winner will die well. I'm afraid that the day the winner is determined, countless people will lose their lives."

Yuan Xi spoke up at this time: "I see that your complexion is not very good. Mr. Yuanhua happens to be in Shouchun. Should I ask him to come and show your face?"

"Any outcome here may lead to consequences that I don't want to see happen, so I would rather stay here now, live out my life, and atone for the mistakes Cao has made."

The two women were speechless to each other, feeling something in their hearts. They lamented that the fight for the world was really not something that sensitive women could get involved in.

He led Xun Yu to his seat all the way, and said aloud: "I have heard of your name for a long time, and now I see you. As expected, you are so charming and charming, which makes Xi feel respectful."

"Excuse me, in my mind, your commander is as important to Cao Cao as Cao Cao's dozen generals and one hundred thousand elite soldiers. Aren't Cao Cao afraid that I will take the opportunity to detain your commander?"

This is also true. Yuan Xi's deeds are now a legend in Cao Ying and even in the world. How many people in the world can confront Cao Cao and push Cao Cao to such a point?

Therefore, Mrs. Ding's words also revealed Mrs. Wu's dilemma and inner struggle. Everyone in the world has helplessness, so why not herself?

Today, Xun Yu saw that Yuan Xi's appearance was quite different from what he had imagined. Although he looked very young, his face was quite weathered, and even a few strands of white could be seen in his temple hair, but his expression was determined. , there is some irrefutable self-confidence in his eyes. This is the magnanimity only possessed by high-ranking people who have gone through countless lives and deaths. Xun Yu has only seen it in a few people in his life.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but marvel. Those big shots were all Yuan Xi's fathers. Now that Yuan Xi, a young man in his twenties, could reach this point, he undoubtedly experienced too many hardships between life and death.

Xun Yu took a few glances and knew in his heart that the person facing him was definitely not an easy person. Thinking of the tasks he had to shoulder during this trip, Xun Yu had a headache again.

"When did Cao Cao value love and justice so much?"

Xun Yu also defected to Yuan Shao at the beginning, but soon left due to disagreement with his ideas and attached himself to Cao Cao. Among the three sons of the Yuan family at that time, he was the only one who had never met Yuan Xi. Therefore, Yuan Xi's experiences over the years also made Xun Yu I have always been very curious and wanted to know what kind of person Yuan Xi was.

Mrs. Ding shook her head and said calmly: "If you want peace in the world, it is nothing more than the destruction of the Cao family or the Yuan family, right?"

After hearing this, Xun Yu felt that the other party's words were sharp and aggressive and should not be underestimated, so he replied in a deep voice: "If the two countries are at war, if we don't kill the envoy, if the envoy is such a person, he will not be able to reach this stage today."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Then your Majesty thinks highly of me."

"That's really the kind of person I am."

"I fought with Jiangdong last time. It's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before."

"Lu Zijing, the envoy sent by Jiangdong, has been detained by me from before the war started to the end of the war, and he is still in Shouchun." "Your Majesty should understand that I have no intention of negotiating peace with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao cannot give it. What I want."

"If you can't convince me, I'm afraid I will spend the rest of my life in Shouchun."

Xun Yu thought to himself that the opponent really did not play according to common sense. I am afraid that only such a person can fight against Cao Cao without losing.

With this character, is he really a son that Yuan Shao can raise?

He said calmly: "I am seriously ill and will not die soon."

"So during this mission, Yu had no intention of going back. If he could bring the message to Duke Ming, Yu would have fulfilled his mission and has no regrets."

Yuan Xi was startled, thinking that it was no wonder Xun Yu looked so bad. It turned out to be the reason, so he sighed: "Your Majesty is very loyal to Cao Cao."

"But is Cao Cao worthy of your wishes?"

"What's more, your body is probably secondary to your illness. The real root cause of your illness is in your heart, right?"

Xun Yu knew that the other party was worthy of the name of a ferocious tiger, so he lured the other party step by step into the trap, and then showed his fangs to attack the other party's mind. Even when facing himself as the mastermind, he did not show any timidity or hesitation. This kind of mental courage is unparalleled in the world. There are very few people who can fight against it.

Although Cao Cao is one of them, but the other party is in his prime, how many years can Cao Cao last?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu felt a little heavy in his heart, but he still kept his expression and said solemnly: "In Yu's opinion, there are not many people in the world who are qualified to comment on what Duke Ming has done, and you are obviously not one of them."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled slightly, knowing that Xun Yu was alluding to the fact that he was also a traitor to the Han Dynasty. He didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "I have my own way of doing it. But I’m afraid you don’t have time to listen.”

"Back to the subject, what is King Wei going to give in exchange for his wife and daughter?"

When he mentioned the word "King of Wei", he saw Xun Yu's brows frowning slightly. Knowing that he was still irritated, he smiled and waited for Xun Yu's answer.

Xun Yu's eyes flashed, and he thought that this young man was really difficult to deal with. If he was not careful, he would fall into serious trouble, so he said, "Of course Mr. Ming is sincere."

He opened his mouth to tell Cao Cao's conditions, and Yuan Xi listened carefully. He quickly determined that Cao Cao was not sincere.

I don't really care about any empty reputation like titles. Even if I need it, I will never get it from Cao Cao, otherwise I would be the same as Sun Quan.

As for the cession of territory and the like, they are all enclaves and meaningless wastelands on the border of Hebei and Yan. I can take them anytime I want, so why does Cao Cao need to give them to me?
When he heard the end, the sarcasm on his face became more obvious, and he suddenly interrupted: "Cao Cao really asked your Majesty to negotiate?"

"You're not asking your Majesty to seek death, are you?"

Faced with Yuan Xi's almost heart-wrenching speech, Xun Yu remained unmoved, "Yu should be loyal to the Duke and be worthy of his heart."

Yuan Xi also admired Xun Yu's courage. If the other party behaved like this, he was really determined to die!
But precisely because of this, Yuan Xi felt even more regretful. He said in a deep voice: "Is it worth all this?"

"Is Cao Cao right, Lord Qi Ling?"

Xun Yu raised his eyes and said, "In Yu's opinion, you are not qualified to say this."

"Please also release Duke Ming's wife and daughter so that Brother Yu Lele can fulfill his mission."

Seeing Xun Yu's persistence, Yuan Xi said: "It's not that Cao Cao's daughter cannot be let go."

"Going to Mrs. Dante's side may not make your wish come true."

After hearing this, Xun Yu was startled for a moment. Then he randomly remembered the rumors about Yuan Xi, and then his face changed. Could it be that Mrs. Ding was done something by Yuan Xi?
Seeing Xun Yu's expression, Yuan Xi knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he had to explain: "Mrs. Ding has reconciled with Cao Cao, and you should understand the reason."

"I'm afraid he may not be willing to come back. If you don't believe me, you can go and see him."

Xun Yu was hesitant after hearing this. Mrs. Ding was unwilling to go back?
You would rather be imprisoned by your enemies than go back to being a mistress. No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible, right?
Seeing that Xun Yu didn't believe it, Yuan Xi stood up and said, "Since you have doubts in your mind, please move forward and come with me to see Mrs. Ding."

Not long after, while spinning in Mrs. Ding's room, she said to Xun Yu who was bowing down: "I deeply feel the hard work of making you travel thousands of miles."

"But I have severed ties with the Cao family. Now I don't want to return to Xudu. Please come back."

Xun Yu was a little stunned. Xiu Hu didn't lie to him. Did Mrs. Ding really think so?
