Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 131 What's wrong with you, sister

Both Zhao Yu and Xue Li were the ones Liu Bei wanted to woo at the beginning, but now they are both killed by Ruo Rong, which naturally makes Liu Bei extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, Ruo Rong not only killed these two important Xuzhou officials, but also sent troops to loot property and kill the people. The local people's livelihood was in decline, and Liu Bei had to find a way to deal with the aftermath.

But Ruo Rong was a very thieves, he changed places after killing people, but now he continued to flee south, to the territory of Yangzhou, and took refuge in Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou.

Now that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Liu Bei can't catch up with him even if he wants to, and Liu Yao and Yuan Shu are in opposition, so naturally he will not hand over Ruo Rong.

Liu Yao is a clan member of the Han family, loyal to the current Han court, and Yuan Shu, who is self-reliant, did not deal with each other. The focus of the dispute between the two was the prefect of Yuzhang County, a subordinate of Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu privately appointed Zhuge Xuan, a nobleman from Langya, as the prefect of Yuzhang, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Han court, so he sent Zhu Hao to Yuzhang County to replace Zhuge Xuan.

Zhu Hao, courtesy name Wenming, was born in Kuaiji. He was good at treating people with sincerity, and he had the style of an elder. His father was Taiwei Zhu Jun.

Zhu Hao found Liu Yao and borrowed troops to attack Zhuge Xuan. Zhuge Xuan was defeated and retreated to the west city. Zhu Hao entered Nanchang, and the two sides faced off.

It happened that Ruo Rong defected to Liu Yao, so Liu Yao asked him to assist Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao knew Ruo Rong's name of worshiping the Buddha, and treated him as a guest.

At this time Xu Shao, a famous scholar, ran to Liu Yao and told Liu Yao that Ruo Rong was a villain and extremely dangerous, and Zhu Hao should be on guard, but Liu Yao didn't believe it.

Now Liu Bei is in a dilemma.

He wanted to get close to the Han court, but after Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he was regarded as a traitor by the Han court, and Liu Bei was also in a dilemma.

Although everyone knew what was going on in private, it was an indisputable fact that Gongsun Zan was abandoned by the Han court.

Tao Qian died, Tian Kai was kicked out of Qingzhou, and now Liu Bei's only ally on the surface is Yuan Shu, a traitor.

There are also conflicts between rebels and rebels. Yuan Shu's biggest enemy now is his brother, another rebel Yuan Shao.

Now Liu Bei is very embarrassed in Xuzhou. To the north is Yuan Tan of Qingzhou, to the west is Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and to the south is Liu Yao of Yangzhou.
In fact, Liu Bei still has his heart for the Han Dynasty, but the current situation makes him at a loss, because there are many differences among his advisers, and he doesn't know who he wants to be with, and he can't see a way out.

That's why Chen Qun disagreed with Liu Bei taking over Xuzhou. This is a piece of honey that contains poison. If it is not handled properly, it will choke to death!

But from Chen Deng's point of view, Liu Bei has no other choice. Although he may die later if he eats it, he will die now if he doesn't eat it.

The difference between the two sides lies not only in the matter of Ruo Rong, but also in hearing that Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei coughed and said, "Bei still wants to hear your opinions on Yuan Benchu's sending people to Xuzhou."

He was also a little depressed, there were not many people under his command, but they were divided into several factions.

Chen Dengmi Zhu and other Xuzhou gentry bet their lives with them, so the relationship is naturally closer.

Similar to this faction, there are also Sun Qian who has just been enlisted to work, and Jian Yong who has followed Liu Bei since childhood.

The other faction is the Yuzhou gentry conquered by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's governor of Yuzhou, although his name is not right, and he has not yet occupied the actual territory, but he has a great advantage.

It is possible to open a mansion and enlist subordinate officials.

One is to recruit Chen Qun to work for Biejia.

Chen Qun is the son of Chen Ji, and his native place is in Yingchuan County, Yuzhou. At the beginning, Chen Ji served as Prime Minister of Pingyuan. superior.

There is such a relationship, so Liu Bei also reciprocated and recruited Chen Qun.

The second is to recommend Chen Jun Yuan Huan as a talented person.

Yuan Huan is a son of the public clan, and his father Yuan Pang and Cai Yong are cousins, and he served as a Situ during Emperor Ling. It can be said that Yuan Huan has a higher status than Chen Qun in a sense.

The remaining two are Liu Yan and Chen Dao.

In the history of later generations, these two people have always followed Liu Bei, and it can be said that they have always followed each other.

These people are faintly divided into two factions, just because of their different starting points.

The Xuzhou gentry naturally tended to develop in Xuzhou, and the Yuzhou gentry tended to conquer the world in Yuzhou. This is where the gentry's local feelings and interests lie.

For this reason, they have subtle differences on the future development strategy.

Because Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's minion, slaughtered Xuzhou, the Xuzhou gentry was more disgusted with Yuan Shao, while the Yuzhou gentry was the opposite.

Now that Cao Cao occupies half of Yuzhou, the gentry of Yuzhou naturally don't want to offend Yuan Shao and implicate their own family.

Therefore, they have been at loggerheads over Yuan Shao's sending envoys to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei saw that everyone couldn't figure out what to discuss, so he had to turn to Kong Rong, who had been silent all the time, and said, "What do you think, sir?"

The opinions of Xuzhou gentry and Yuzhou gentry must be adjusted by a neutral faction. Kong Rong is a famous person in the world with a detached status. It is most appropriate for him to make the final decision.

When Chen Deng and Mi Zhu heard that it was Kong Rong, they all looked at each other with joy. Kong Rong had just been defeated by Yuan Shao's two sons in Qingzhou. It was the second son Yuan Xi who participated in the visit to Xuzhou. Could Kong Rong not object?

What surprised them was that Kong Rong thought for a while and said, "Although the Yuan family boy defeated me, I can't let the people of Xuzhou get involved for my own sake."

"Xuzhou can no longer make enemies on all sides. Since the other party is interested, it is good to see how the conditions are."

Liu Bei listened, nodded and said: "Mr. Wen Ju is right. Yuan Shao personally sent his son to show his sincerity. If he refuses rashly, it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to send troops with an excuse."

Seeing that Kong Rong and Liu Bei said so, everyone knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no objection at the moment, and they all agreed to welcome Yuan Xi to the peace talks team in Xuzhou.

Everyone dispersed, Chen Qun and Yuan Huan came out side by side, and when they were far away, Chen Qun said to Yuan Huan with a smile: "Qing Yao, this time the son of the Yuan family is here, you can take this opportunity to make some connections, and you may not need them in the future." Woolen cloth."

Yuan Huan said seriously: "Brother Changwen's words are wrong, not to mention that I, the Yuan family of Chen Jun, do not rely on the breath of the Yuan family of Runan, and I am now under the family of Xuande, how can I secretly communicate with foreign enemies."

After hearing this, Chen Qun shook his head and said, "Qing Yao, you are still so rigid."

Chen Qunlai was quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei's failure to accept his opinion, and wanted to complain a few words, but seeing that Yuan Huan was very loyal to Liu Bei, he swallowed the words in his stomach.

In this matter, Chen Qun had already decided in his heart that Liu Bei was not the best candidate for his lord, but he also hesitated, what should he do in the future?

Weijun Yecheng.

Gao Lan trained in the barracks day and night, and Zhen Rong had nothing to do, so he went to the Zhen Mansion to chat with Zhen Mi.

At that time, Yuan Shao had already received a reply letter from Liu Bei agreeing to the peace talks, and because this matter was carried out in secret, he sent Yuan Xi and a motorcade to visit Xuzhou quietly.

Zhen Ronghe was not in high spirits, knowing that he was worried about Yuan Xi, so he couldn't help making fun of Zhen Mi.

When she heard that Yuan Xi had come to Zhen Mi's small building before leaving, her expression was a little subtle, "He and you are alone in the small building?"

Zhen Mi nodded, and said shyly, "I thought he was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he would play tricks and have an unruly side."

Zhen Rong's heart skipped a beat: "What did he do to you?"

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "In addition to touching my hand in private, she also did the same thing to Fourth Sister."

"What!" Zhen Rong was like a thunderbolt. Doesn't this mean that he has touched his whole body, which is almost equivalent to losing his virginity!
She lost her voice: "How could he be so rude and bold!"

"Yes!" Zhen Mi nodded and said, "When he touched my face, I almost fainted."

Zhen Rong was stunned, "It's just a face?"

"Yes, what else can I do?" Zhen Mi nodded and said, "When he touched my hand, I felt hot on my face and thought I was sick, so Mr. Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and touched my hand. forehead."

"This caught me off guard. For some reason, my face became hotter."

"I heard from Wu Zhao last time that when my sister was framed that time, the young master didn't meet her, but I always felt that she was lying to me."

"Back when my sister was being helped into the carriage, she was also scalding hot all over. Maybe Mr. Yuan Xi also touched my sister's face?"

Zhen Rong was at a loss, and stammered: "I don't remember clearly at the time, it should, it should be like this?"

Zhen Mi frowned, "That's not right, the young master's hand touched my forehead, and my face became hot, and my sister's whole body was hot, doesn't that mean..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhen Rong gritted his teeth and said, "I feel hot all over because of being drugged! Drugs, do you understand!"

After hearing this, Zhen Mi quickly laughed and said, "I made a mistake, sister, don't blame me."

Zhen Rong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, his mind was finally over, the little girl is sometimes very smart, sometimes very naive.

A convoy started from Yecheng, Weijun, from Qinghe County to Yanzhou Jibei County, then to Xuzhou Lu County, Pengcheng County, and finally arrived at Tancheng in Xiapi County.

The road passed through Yanzhou, and there was no fighting along the way, and they used the identity of the Jizhou caravan, and they were guided by Yuan Shi, so they were unimpeded in Yanzhou.

When we arrived in Xuzhou, the road guide was replaced by Xuzhou's.

Yuan Xi was in the carriage at this time, and there were two women sitting opposite him.

A middle-aged beautiful woman with a cautious expression, and a young girl in the cardamom age, were secretly sizing up Yuan Xi with big, dark eyes.

When Yuan Xi looked over, the girl hurriedly hid her face behind the beautiful woman's sleeve.

Yuan Xi turned his head to look out of the window, and said: "This trip is a cover-up, but it has caused a lot of inconvenience to the madam and the girl. Please forgive me."

The beautiful woman hurriedly said: "My lord is too humble, my concubine and my daughter are left in the city, if not for my lord's rescue, I'm afraid they would have died already."

Yuan Xi thought it was true, the beautiful woman and young girl in front of him were Kong Rong's wife and daughter.

Kong Rong has a good mouth, but he didn't expect his true colors to be revealed when he ran away. He even left his wife behind and was captured by Yuan Tan.

After Yuan Xi learned about it, he asked for it from Yuan Tan as a bargaining chip in Xuzhou's negotiations.

He had already sent a secret letter in advance to inform Kong Rong that Kong Rong had a great reputation, and if his wife did not come back, he would become the laughing stock of the world, so he fully supported Yuan Liu's peace talks.

The reason why Yuan Xi was curious about Kong Rong's daughter was not because of her appearance, but because of her future identity.

Yang Yu's first wife Kong Shi.

After Kong's death, Yang Yu's second wife was Cai Zhaoji's younger sister Cai Zhenji.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi couldn't help but lament the wonder of fate.

The big family in the Three Kingdoms loves and kills each other, they are really relatives everywhere.
