Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163
Mrs. Wu gently shook the sleeping baby in her arms, and said: "That day I lived in Guangling with a few children, and I heard that you voted for Yuan Shu, but it was not very satisfactory."

After hearing this, Sun Ce said bitterly, "After my father passed away, the soldiers and horses were detained by Yuan Shu. I wanted to honor the Sun family, so I could only beg him in a low voice. I didn't expect him to embarrass me everywhere!"

"Three thousand soldiers, he didn't give any of them, but let me go to Danyang to recruit soldiers!"

"Fortunately, I recruited five hundred soldiers and horses in Danyang, and Yuan Shu gave me my father's one thousand old troops."

The Danyang soldiers were very famous at the end of the Han Dynasty, and they were very suitable for fighting in the Shanyue area. In the Jiangdong area, they were considered to be the most effective one.

"Three Kingdoms Zhuge Ke Biography": Danyang is dangerous and dangerous, with thousands of miles of valleys and valleys. The vulgar loves martial arts and fights, and has noble strength. It ascends mountains and goes to danger, and touches bushes and thorns. It is like a fish walking into an abyss, and apes climb up trees. In battle, swarms will come, and when they lose, birds will flee. Since the previous life, they cannot be restrained. also.

It is said that Danyang soldiers are flexible, agile, and good at climbing in the mountains and forests. This is extremely advantageous in warships and water battles.

But Danyang soldiers are not without disadvantages. Once they arrive in Jiangbei and encounter large-scale battle formations in the plains, their advantages of agility cannot be brought into play.

And what he is good at is short weapons, knives and shields, and he will be restrained when he meets the tall northern cavalry who use long spears and halberds and heavy steps.

In addition, there are some people who do not believe in evil and insist on exploiting their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths. As a result, the Danyang soldiers were turned into ghosts, which made Zhang Liao and others famous.

Mrs. Wu sighed: "I also heard about it at the time, thinking that my husband had a good relationship with Tao Gongzu before he was alive, and that Xiapi was close to Guangling, so I went to Tancheng, hoping to use my previous friendship to help you get some soldiers and horses."

"When I left that day, I entrusted Quan'er and others to take care of them. Xiang'er is still young, so I can only take it with me."

"Unfortunately, when I arrived in Tancheng, Yuan Gonggong and Tao Gongzu had a falling out. I didn't even see Tao Gongzu's face, so I was locked up."

"As a result, Tao Gongzu died of illness suddenly, and some people who offended Tao Gongzu and I were expelled out of the city by Xuande Gongzu, which actually caused trouble for Ce'er."

After hearing this, Sun Ce said angrily, "This Liu Bei bastard is so rude. After I take down Xuzhou, I will surely destroy him!"

Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "Don't do this. You invaded Xuzhou and harassed the people. If you do unrighteous things again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to move forward."

Sun Ce didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand: "I heard that my mother was trapped in Guangling and couldn't cross the river, so I brought troops to fight here, thinking about taking my mother away."

Madam Wu shook her head and said, "This is the safest place."

"If I cross the river, I will be in Yangzhou territory. At that time, Ce'er can protect me?"

Sun Ce thought that this is true, neither Liu Yao nor Yuan Shu can be trusted in Yangzhou, so it is better to keep Aunt by his side for safety.

Mrs. Wu said again: "Speaking of which, Ce'er is still in a hurry. The rear has not been determined, but he hastily penetrated into the enemy's hinterland. If the back is cut off by Duke Zhengli (Liu Yao), and there is Duke Xuande blocking the way, what will you do?"

Sun Ce didn't even think about it, and said, "Shoot directly into Xiapi and take Xuzhou, isn't that the end?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said: "It's not that simple, you have always been grumpy, I will stay here and watch, lest you do something wrong."

Sun Ce snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, this Liu Bei actually expelled Grandma and humiliated Grandma. Xuzhou doesn't have a good thing. I must get this debt back!"

Mrs. Wu persuaded: "Liu Shijun is also involuntary, besides, the convoy sent out to Pi Xiapi that day, and one of the gentry sons gave me a horse, so I was able to escape. There are still good people in this world."

Sun Ce shook his head, noncommittal, thinking that since he was a nobleman who was on an envoy, he must not belong to Liu Bei, and he might have already left.

If we meet in the future, at worst, return him a horse.

What I have to do now is to occupy Guangling and wait for an opportunity to take down Xiapi in one fell swoop!
Sun Ce thought to himself, is there anything that can be used in Tancheng?
At this time, Yuan Xi, who was far away in Beixincheng, sent a letter to Lu Bu.

The letter is in the name of Yuan's, not Yinhu's. Lu Bu's line has not yet been collected. If he frequently uses Yinhu's identity to speak for himself, it is very likely that someone with a heart will see his flaws.

This time he made a big detour, writing to Gao Shun in the name of Gao Lan, and then asked him to pass it on to Lu Bu.

In the letter, he also paid a lot of money, promising that if Lu Bu arrived in Hanoi, if he could suppress the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan to the north, Yuan Xi promised to divide the state equally with Lu Bu.

From the perspective of later generations, Yuan Xi's promise was purely a promise to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. After conquering Youzhou, Yuan Shao would send senior officials from his wife's family to Bingzhou.

However, Gao Gan did not actually open up the situation in Bingzhou, because he was restrained by the Black Mountain Army and the Southern Huns. During the Battle of Guandu, although he was restrained on the western front, he hardly posed the slightest threat to Cao Cao.

That being the case, Yuan Xi thought that it would be better to introduce Lu Bu to revitalize Bingzhou.

Although Lu Bu might become a big trouble for him in the future, Yuan Xi also has too many lice and does not bite people. He must now clean up Taihang Mountain within a year, and open up the passage from Zhuojun to Zhongshan County, and then to Hanoi County.

But right now he is under a lot of pressure. In order to attack Yijing, Jizhou and Qingzhou have begun to collect grain and recruit soldiers. Although Zhuojun only has three cities, they must send troops to collect food according to the law.

In this way, not only did Yuan Xi not get money and food support from Jizhou this time, he also had to prepare food and grass for sending troops.

In this way, the Sancheng grain depot, which had just had a surplus, will be short of food again.

Yuan Xi was powerless to change this situation. What he could do was to find a way to end the battle of Yi Jing as soon as possible. The army could feed several times the number of people if they ate less food for one day.

Moreover, there are still several million stones of grain in Yijing City, so if we find a way to get some, we shouldn't lose too much.

When he returned to the mansion, Qu Yi, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici all arrived.

Cao Xian was dressed in simple sackcloth, served tea for everyone, then bowed his head and retreated.

Qu Yi clicked his tongue and said, "My lord is very interested, but it's a pity that this girl is naturally beautiful, but you dare not let her wear luxurious clothes. Is this a lesson for fear of Liu Hou?"

Liu Yu was famous for his honesty and simplicity during his lifetime, and his robes were covered with patches, but after his death, people found that his concubines often wore gorgeous clothes, and they suspected that he was deceiving the world and stealing his name.

Of course, these sayings all came from Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Xi listened and said with a smile: "Brother Qu's words are still so choking, in fact I didn't specifically ask for it, but she voluntarily."

"Besides, if you can wear it but don't wear it, isn't it also deceiving the world?"

"There are more than a dozen concubines in my mansion, Brother Qu, why don't you take two of them?"

After hearing this, Qu Yi laughed and said, "For the time being, I don't have any other interests except fighting. I just wait for the day when Gongsun Zan loses."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's coming soon."

"Right now there is news from Yecheng that I need to do two things here."

"One is to send troops with the army to attack Yi Jing."

"The second is to stick to the three cities and block the enemy troops passing through here to Yijing for support."

When Qu Yi heard this, he immediately cursed, "Is that Yuan Shang's idea?"

"That's all for the first one. For the second one, if the Black Mountain Army and Gongsun Zan's subordinates from Youzhou arrive together, how can these thousands of people stop them?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "That's true, so I have some ideas."

Hearing this, Tai Shici glanced at everyone, thinking that it is impossible to give up the three cities, right?

Seeing that Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged, he felt a little relieved. If this were to happen, Zhao Yun would definitely object.

Yuan Xi said: "The most critical point is how long it will take to defeat Yi Jing."

"Jizhou has been fully mobilized. It is said that more than 10 people have participated in the war. There is no shortage of people."

"The victory or defeat lies in going down to the city as quickly as possible."

"On this point, although the third brother is not against me, he knows the overall situation. The situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou in the south of Jizhou is not good. The longer the attack on Yijing, the more likely there will be accidents."

"So my idea is to send 3000 soldiers to each city, and [-] people to go to Yijing."

"The remaining 2000 people are used to defend the city, led by brother Qu, to patrol the three cities."

The envoys sent by Yuan Xi had contacted Zhang Yan before, but there was no news so far, so he had to prepare for the worst.

After hearing this, Qu Yi thought, why don't you take me with you?
But he understands that maybe defending the city is the most suitable for him.

Participating in the Battle of Yijing, Yuan Shao's subordinates will all participate at that time, there are many people who know Qu Yi, and it is easy to recognize his origin.

Moreover, it is not easy to stay in Beixincheng. If the Black Mountain Army Cong Taihang Mountain sends troops to help, Beixincheng is the most likely way to go.

When the time comes, the safety of the three cities in Beixin City will depend entirely on Qu Yi. It can be said that this matter can only be handed over to someone Yuan Xi can trust.

Although Qu Yi knew the truth of this, he still felt a little resentful. He talked for a long time to settle with Gongsun Zan, but he couldn't make it!

Yuan Xi knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The future will last forever, after Youzhou, there will be many enemies for Brother Qu to kill."

"If Gongsun Zan dies, I'll take some of his belongings so that Brother Qu can pay homage to his dead brother."

After hearing this, Qu Yi lost interest, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, those old brothers are dead and running, I don't know where to find them."

The [-] Xiandeng he brought with him at the beginning were all from his own country. Since he was ambushed and killed, they were all scattered and compiled into the trilogy of various generals.

Of course, most people were very dissatisfied, some fled and returned to the Northland, and a very small number were found by Qu Yi privately and became Yuan Xi's dead soldiers.

Yuan Xi sighed: "It's a pity, after Tian Yu was caught, he has been very stubborn, let alone relying on me, he didn't even want to say a word, compared with Feng Xiao when he first came here."

"If he can be used by me, he won't be so stretched."

"Now Zilong and Ziyi are the only ones going to Yijing with me."

The three people said that based on your appearance as an overlord, who would be reconciled at the beginning?
At this moment, a voice sounded, "Why don't you count me?"

Yuan Xi was overjoyed when he heard that, "Mr. Feng Xiao is going too?"

"That's great!"

Guo Jia opened his arms, dragged his clogs and Shi Shiran walked in, "Don't be complacent, I didn't go because of you."

"I just want to see how Gongsun Zan's generation of heroes ended."
