Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 117 Going to Puyang Again
Yuan Shang drank the wine glass by glass, while Hong carefully knelt aside, holding the jug, seeing Yuan Shang put down the empty wine glass, he quickly raised his hand to fill it up.

Yuan Shang cast a sideways glance at Hong Shi, feeling a little irritable. Logically speaking, Hong Shi is also a beauty with an extremely docile temperament, but the two have been married for three years and still have nothing to do.

Hong Shi always felt that it was his own problem, and he also tried to take Yuan Shang as a concubine, but Yuan Shang refused, and Hong Shi was even more grateful.

But Yuan Shang's idea was that if he took a concubine and had no children, he would have no legitimate reason to divorce his wife!
Right now, Yuan Shang did not leave the Hong family temporarily because of Yuan's reputation.

Seeing Yuan Shang drinking a cup of boring wine, the pot of wine was empty again in a blink of an eye, Hong could not help whispering: "Husband, drinking too much will hurt your body, why don't you drink less..."

Yuan Shang glared at Hong Shi, who quickly lowered his head, trembling slightly.

A corner of her sleeve was raised, revealing a jade wrist, but there were several shocking scars on it.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang frowned slightly, and said, "Go down first, wrap it up well, so that others won't see it and criticize it!"

Hong quickly responded and retreated cautiously.

Yuan Shang opened the cabinet next to him, the bottle of Wushisan was still inside, his eyes were gloomy, what kind of magic medicine, that Taoist priest is a liar!

The second brother took the medicine, but he didn't see anything in the end. Later, he was puzzled and tried it himself, but found that it didn't work!

I must have been cheated, this medicine is fake, it didn't work for my second brother!
He bowed his head in thought.

The second brother is now more and more threatening, even if he does not join forces with Yuan Tan, he must deal with this hidden danger in time.

I hate that I was deceived by him for so long. I thought my second brother was a cowardly and incompetent person, but I didn't expect to hide it so deeply!
Xu You, Pang Ji and the judge have all proposed to adopt Yuan Xi as soon as possible, cutting off Yuan Tan's great support.

When Yuan Xi becomes Yuan Ji's branch, he will be cut off from Yuan Shao's branch. Even if Yuan Xi occupies Youzhou, his soldiers, horses, money and food will all be transferred by Yuan Shang and can be taken back at any time!

In this way, Yuan Xi will be tightly controlled by Yuan Shang, and he can only be forced to break with Yuan Tan!

If Yuan Xi refused to hand over his troops, Yuan Shangda could use his mother Liu's family to encourage Yuan Shao to send Yuan Tan to attack Yuan Xi.

At that time, the two of them still have to be obedient?
The plan to drive away tigers and wolves!

In Yuan Xi's house, Wu Zhao was squatting beside the clay stove to boil water.

The water in the copper pot rolled up, and the spout made a humming sound. Yuan Xi tilted his head slightly when he heard the sound, and thought of Wu Zhao making a similar sound in the dead of night, so he couldn't help laughing.

Naturally, Wu Zhao didn't know Yuan Xi's dirty thoughts, she got up and lifted the copper pot, poured boiling water into the tea bowl, but stared at the tea leaves rolling up and down in a daze.

Yuan Xi said: "What are you thinking?"

Wu Zhao turned around and said, "The girl from the Zhen family is very nice."

"My lord, don't let her down."

Yuan Xi didn't know why, but nodded and said, "That's natural."

Wu Zhao said softly: "There is no movement on the marriage?"

"No," Yuan Xi said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that the third brother is thinking about how to adopt me. I'm afraid he thinks that if this happens, the Zhen family will look down on me, and the marriage will naturally fall through."

Wu Zhao sighed, "Now there is an undercurrent in Yecheng, and the situation is unclear. It would be great if there are counselors to advise you."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "It's not so easy to buy counselors, they are all the best in the scholar family."

"Besides, the counselor is in charge of the overall situation and must know all the secrets. It is too difficult to find someone I can trust completely."

"What's more, several great advisers have obvious problems."

Wu Zhao became interested, "How do you say that?"

Yuan Xi thought for a while, and said, "The trial and appointment is arbitrary, Xu You is greedy for money, Guo Tu is swaying, Pang Ji is conceited, Xin Pi is repetitive, and Xun Chen is suspicious."

"Ju Shou is capable of both civil and military skills, and Tian Feng is autistic and stubborn. These two people have the most ideas, and it is extremely difficult to persuade them."

"I think it's better to let nature take its course. They have been under Father's command for a long time, and their vision and appetite have become very high. They are by no means easy to buy."

"I thought about it and decided to go to Puyang City again in the next few days."

Wu Zhao's heart skipped a beat: "To see Marquis Wen?"

"General Koji is not here, is there any danger?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's okay, my hidden tiger's prediction has come true, he has gained a lot from it, and it won't be against me for the time being."

"Then I'll go with you," Wu Zhao said.

Seeing Wu Zhao's firm gaze, Yuan Xi could only say, "That's fine, I'll ask some guards outside the city to prepare the carriage in advance."

A few days later, Yuan Xi left Yecheng with Wu Zhao on the pretext of going out to hunt for a few days.

It was almost the twelfth lunar month at that time, and Jizhou was peaceful. Although Yanzhou in the south was fighting fiercely, almost all the battles were fought near Juancheng in Dongjun.

So when Yuan Xi's carriage arrived at Puyang City in Chenliu County, there was no battle on the way, and some generals from Lv Bu's army had already left the city to welcome Yuan Xi's carriage in.

Yuan Xi opened the curtain, saw that the leading general was quite young, and asked, "What's your surname, General?"

Among Lu Bu's generals, Yinhu's name has already spread, that general did not dare to neglect, he clasped his fists and said, "The last general, Qin Yilu."

Yuan Xi was startled, and laughed anytime, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Second Monk Qin Yiluzhang couldn't figure it out, he was one of Lu Bu's underlings, was he famous?
The carriage entered the city and arrived at the city guard's mansion. Yuan Xi and the masked Wu Zhao got out of the carriage, and saw Lu Bu striding out of the house. He laughed and said, "Bu has today, Mr. Duolai!"

He walked up to Yuan Xi, took Yuan Xi's arm and walked inside.

Yuan Xi felt like he was lifted up by a little chicken, but his feet didn't touch the ground. Chen Gong also came out and followed Lu Bu, coughing uncontrollably.

Lu Bu came to his senses and put Yuan Xi down. He looked at the carriage and asked in surprise, "Is Dezhou not here?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "He has something to do, only Zhuo Jing and I are here."

Lu Bu laughed loudly when he heard this, "Sir, you are very courageous, which shows your trust in Bu!"

"Mr. has come from a long way. If Bu does not welcome you this time, it will be unreasonable!"

"Come here, set up wine!"

Lu Bu was obviously in a good mood, and ordered the soldiers to send a message to the city, and asked all the generals under his command to come to the banquet.

As everyone arrived one after another and reported their names one by one, Yuan Xi was surprised to find that most of the generals under Lu Bu's command, including Song Xianwei, Xu Houcheng and others, had arrived!
He wondered: "Marquis Wen called back all the generals, so you don't plan to attack Dongjun?"

After everyone heard this, they all looked at Chen Gong, Chen Gong said: "The two sides are in a stalemate, even the palace can't make a decision, sir, please give me some advice."

Yuan Xi secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, and made me work for nothing. Is this an addiction?

Seeing Yuan Xi pretending to be stupid, Chen Gong could only smile and said, "It's because Gong is being abrupt, please take your seat, sir."

Yuan Xiqian made way and sat on the guest seat, Wu Zhao followed behind.

When everyone was seated, Yuan Xi saw the maid coming up to pour him wine, and said modestly, "Apologize, I don't drink."

Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How can a man not drink!"

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Drinking alcohol affects stargazing."

When Lu Bu heard this, he had nothing to say, and said angrily, "Sir, this temper is somewhat similar to that kid Gao Shun."

"Hey, why hasn't Gao Shun come yet?"

"Qin Yilu, how did you do it!"

Qin Yilu, who was seated at the bottom, stood up quickly, and said with a forced smile: "The last general has already gone to invite. General Gao said he was in the process of reorganizing the army, and General Zhang said he was patrolling the city, so he might arrive later."

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "There is no danger in Puyang City, I think the two of them are just too lazy to do things, and they can't come here!"

"It's fine if Gao Shun doesn't drink, Zhang Liao has also learned to lie!"

"Forget it, don't lose your temper because of this, Qin Yilu, Mrs. Yi is in the back house, let her come out to accompany the drink!"

Qin Yilu stood up quickly, and said with a smile on his face, "I respect the order of Marquis Wen."

At this time, two generals came in at the gate of the mansion. Hearing Lu Bu's words, they couldn't help but look at each other and frowned slightly.

Lu Bu smiled at Yuan Xi, "Qin Yilu is from my hometown. He is not good at fighting, but he married a beautiful wife. We have the same customs in the state. When you meet distinguished guests, you have to let your wife come out to toast to show respect!"

Of the two generals who came in, one of them had a serious face and looked like a very rigid person, so he opened his mouth to speak, and the other general quickly gave him a hand.

In the next room of the hall where everyone was sitting, a graceful and graceful woman was waiting anxiously. When she heard Lu Bu's words next door, she turned slightly pale, bit her lips tightly, and was about to get up and come in.

At this time Yuan Xi said: "I have heard for a long time that Marquis Wen also has a wife, why not let him come out to accompany the wine?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly stopped breathing.

Lu Bu was startled, then furious, slammed the table, and shouted, "Zhu Zi'an dares to bully me?"

"I am a dignified prince, how can there be any reason for my family to accompany me to drink?"

"If it wasn't for how much you helped me, I would have stabbed you to death!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the hall turned pale, they hadn't seen Marquis Wen so angry for a long time!

Wu Zhao also trembled slightly, and leaned closer to Yuan Xi, seeing his figure sitting upright like a mountain, he felt relieved.

Yuan Xiling was not afraid, sat up straight, and said aloud: "Wen Hou, don't you know that you don't want to do to others?"

The beautiful woman in the next room couldn't help but sweat when she heard that Yinhu blatantly contradicted Marquis Wen for the sake of herself whom she had never met.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "How do you know that Qin Yilu is unwilling?"

He pointed at Qin Yilu and said, "Do you want to?"

Qin Yilu smiled and said: "Yes, of course."

Lu Bu proudly said: "Look, he is willing, I didn't force him!"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about General Qin's wife."

Lv Bu was startled, then he laughed loudly and said, "I thought what's the matter with Mr. Married and obeyed his husband, how dare his wife refuse to listen to him?"

All the generals nodded slightly after hearing this.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Will Marquis Wen send his family members to entertain guests?"

Lu Bu choked.

He felt that his face could not be pulled down more and more, and he said displeasedly: "The words of rotten scholars!"

"I am the lord, and he is my general, how can it be the same!"

Yuan Xi said slowly: "May I ask, what is Marquis Wen's plan for the future?"

Lu Bu didn't expect Yuan Xi to ask this suddenly, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yuan Xi asked, "Is Marquis Wen very satisfied with occupying a county now?"

"Calling wives to have fun, not thinking of making progress, is this still the Marquis Wen who looks down on the world?"

"I am disappointed."
