Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174
Yuan Xi was approaching the battle these days, and saw Tian Kai commanding from the top of the city several times.

In all fairness, Yuan Xi felt that if he was the leader of the city, he would not be as good as Tian Kai.

Being able to defeat him in the battle of Qingzhou that day was certainly due to the surprise tactics. On the other hand, Yuan Shao's army's overall level was higher than that of Qingzhou soldiers, and they also had the opportunity to ambush.

But even so, the two sides fought until more than half of the casualties before deciding the winner. It has to be said that Tian Kai is good at running the army, but the winner is the king and the loser. He lost Qingzhou in the first battle, and it is difficult to turn around.

Moreover, Tian Kai's loyalty to Gongsun Zan is obvious to all. Even if he was defeated, he still fled back to Yijing to help Gongsun Zan.

Tian Yu sneered and said, "My lord, you know now, Jihou is kind to Tian's family, if Yu betrays the master, will he bring shame to the family?"

Yuan Xi felt a little angry when he heard this, "Gongsun Zan is really good to the Tian family, but what about others?"

"I heard that he despises the nobles and only loves poor merchants, but he also plunders the common people. What do you think he looks like in my heart?"

Yuan Xi stared at Tian Yu closely, "He looks like a soldier."

"He really loves his soldiers, so he allows his soldiers to loot civilians, even if those soldiers were from the same village as those civilians."

"What he did was no different from what the Yellow Turban Army did back then. No matter whether it was a gentry or a commoner, as long as he stood in front of him, he would kill them all."

Tian Yu blushed, and said, "What do you know about Marquis Ji? Marquis Marquis blocked the aliens in the north, but the Yuan family made friends with them..."

Yuan Xi sneered, "I don't deny that."

"But did he kill all the aliens?"

"The foreign race who poisoned my people should be killed. In this regard, I admire Gongsun Zan, but it is impossible to kill them all. Will they continue to poison the border people next year?"

"The Yuan family's practice of making good friends with other races is also very problematic. I don't deny it, but there is also a side of restraining foreign races."

"The problem of alien races is extremely complicated, how can it be solved in one sentence?"

After hearing this, Tian Yu's voice was a little weaker, "The members of the Yuan family are good at sophistry. I told you, but it doesn't mean you are right."

Yuan Xi sneered, and said to Sun Li, "Come here."

"Tell this country brother what happened to you."

Sun Li came over and told in a flat tone how his village was slaughtered by Gongsun Zan's army.

In the end, he stared at Tian Yu sarcastically, "I am also from Youzhou. In the eyes of our survivors, you are no different from Huns or Xianbei."

"You still feel wronged? Has the blade ever fallen on your heads?"

"What about us villagers who were killed by your soldiers, who can we complain about our grievances?"

"I bother!"

Tian Yu was speechless for a while.

Yuan Xi said: "You know now?"

"As a commoner, what do you think when you look at you?"

"Cao Jun was short of food last year. Cheng Yu from Dong'e went back to Dong'e County to slaughter all the people and made dry food. In the eyes of Dong'e people, what is the difference between Cao Jun and foreigners?"

"In the eyes of the people of Youzhou, you are the same now. Youzhou is full of rebellions, and no one has come to support Gongsun Zan. Don't you find it ridiculous?"

"Of course, it's not that he has no friends at all. It's ironic that the black mountain bandits are coming."

"Although the black mountain bandits have the title of the Han court, you should know better than me what kind of goods they are."

"I heard that they repeatedly plundered the people of Youzhou. Dai County of Youzhou and Changshan County of Jizhou were slaughtered many times. Not to mention Bingzhou where the Black Mountain Army is located, they dealt more with the Han people than the Southern Huns."

"The general who was conferred by the Han court in a difficult situation really loves the people like a son."

Tian Yu clenched his teeth and clenched his fists: "Could it be that the Yuan family didn't make a mistake?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said calmly, "Of course not. In this world, no one is truly a good person."

"But whoever ends the troubled times first will be the best."

Tian Yu's body shook.

Yuan Xi said coldly: "If you want to seek death for loyalty, I will not stop you."

"But if you die here, the evaluation of you by future generations will definitely not be much higher."

"Oh, it's still uncertain whether Brother Guorang's worth is recorded or not."

Tian Yu was a little stunned by Yuan Xi's spiel. This is certainly due to Yuan Xi's eloquent tongue, and it is also because the Yuan family is a family that far surpasses the Tian family. disadvantage.

This is the so-called suppression of family status.

Seeing that he had said everything he needed to say, Yuan Xi stood up and said, "I'm going to fight the Black Mountain Army next, so you stay here and take a good look at how Gongsun Zan was destroyed."

"Of course, it's also possible that if I don't come back in time, everything will be over."

"Since the way is different and does not seek each other, we have nothing to say."

After hearing this, Tian Yu became a little anxious, and blurted out: "If I help you repel the black bandits, can you save my uncle's life?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "It's late."

"If you had agreed earlier, there would still be some chances. Letting you lead the troops before the battle is irresponsible to my soldiers."

"And Tian Kai's performance at the top of the city these days, I'm not sure that I can save him after breaking through the city."

"Of course, if he is willing to surrender, he will definitely survive, but I think it is unlikely."

Tian Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Yuan Xi turned and left, and said: "Stay here and think about it carefully. If I can come back in time, I will let you meet Tian Kai for the last time before the battle."

"The bandits from Heishan are passing through Youzhou and are coming to Yijing. Wherever they go, they must be copying, killing and looting."

"Gongsun Zan doesn't want to save the people of Youzhou, so I'll do it."

Tian Yu stood blankly at the entrance of the tent, watching Yuan Xi issue orders, dispatch troops and generals, and the soldiers were busy running around, moving the supplies and grass to the carts.

Soon the next morning came, and the day of departure arrived.

Seeing Yuan Xi getting on his horse and preparing to lead his troops away, Tian Yu didn't even look at himself.

He knew that if he missed this opportunity, maybe there would be no next time, so he said: "I hope you can help the young master repel the black mountain bandits, so as to repay the suffering of the people of Youzhou."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuntai Shici, including Sun Li, who were on the horse, heaved a sigh of relief.

The young master can really bear it, and he can really fool around.

Tian Yu's ability, those of them who have fought against each other have a deep understanding.

It would be a pity if such an all-rounder in civil and military affairs was killed just like that.

However, Tian Yu was extremely difficult to persuade, Yuan Ximing seemed to be indifferent, but in fact he was deliberately trying to destroy Tian Yu's psychological defense.

After Yuan Xi fooled around and magnified and trampled on the black spots of Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao that Tian Yu valued, Tian Yu's confidence was shaken.

The key point is that what Yuan Xi said was all the truth, Tian Yu thought about it all night, and felt more and more, did he go the wrong way all these years?

Only at this moment did he make up his mind, he had to take a good look, did Gongsun Zan really do something wrong?
Yuan Xi laughed, got off his horse, held Tian Yu's hand and said, "I'll show Brother Guorang what kind of person I am!"

"If there comes a day when brother Guorang finds out that I'm a hypocritical person who doesn't agree with me, I can vote for another master at any time!"

Zhao Yun, Tai Shi, Ci Sun Li and the three had a thought at the same time.

Come on, with the young master's stickiness, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Tian Yu to get out after getting on the boat.

Yuan Xi led the army to set off, but Yuan Tan came out to see him off.

Yuan Tan led more soldiers, so he had to prepare a lot, because he would set off one day later than Yuan Xi.

He walked side by side with Yuan Xi, and said: "Second brother, you must be careful when you go."

"After all, you don't have many soldiers. If you make a mistake, it will be a big loss for my Yuan family."

After Yuan Xi heard this, he hesitated to speak, Yuan Tan knew what he meant, and said, "No matter what, the second brother's surname is Yuan, and the Yuan family is not your enemy."

"I don't want to turn against my second brother one day."

Yuan Xi nodded, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if this matter did not fall on his own head, he would not understand how he felt about it.

He intended to be adopted, but Yuan Tan was unwilling. For this reason, later generations turned against Yuan Shang, beat him endlessly, and even took refuge in his enemy Cao Cao.

As a result, the two brothers killed and killed Jizhou. In the end, neither of them ended well. Yuan Shang escaped and killed Yuan Xi who was making soy sauce in Youzhou.

It can only be said that this kind of result, when Yuan Tan was adopted, who would have thought of it?

Yuan Xi didn't want to be a pawn under the influence of the general situation, he wanted to sit in front of the chessboard.

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said goodbye to Yuan Tan, laughing: "Xi will keep your brother's words in mind!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others followed, leading the soldiers towards Youzhou.

With a puff, Qu Yi slammed the horse into the abdomen of the enemy cavalry, and the tip of the lance pierced through the opponent's back, bringing out a cloud of blood.

The huge impact force flew the opponent from the horse into the air. The opponent hissed long and hard, but time did not die. He held the halberd tightly with both hands in the air, and even wanted to bring Qu Yi off the horse.

Qu Yi's face turned cold, he raised his hand, pointed the halberd pointing down, pushed the man to the ground, and dragged him on the ground with the help of the horse's forward momentum.

The man screamed on the ground and was dragged more than ten feet away before letting go of his hands and dying.

Qu Yi shook his hand, and the tip of the halberd was pulled out from the opponent's body. He grabbed the pole of the halberd with both arms, and danced in a circle towards the sky, flying out with the blood on the tip of the halberd.

He yelled at the soldiers: "Today we must die!"

There are about 2 people from the Black Mountain Army on this road. They appeared from the northern part of the Taihang Mountains and surrounded Beixincheng. It has been several days.

To the surprise of the generals of the Montenegro army, they thought that with so many people, as long as they attacked the city a little, Beixincheng would surrender immediately.

As a result, the defense of Beixin City was extremely sophisticated, and the Black Mountain Army besieged the city for several days without any achievements.

Qu Yi watched the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army continuously approaching the hundreds of cavalry he brought, and sighed, Mr. Xindao is really heartless, a new generation beats the old, he found Zhao Yuntai Shici, and let himself stay behind every time.

Although Qu Yi knew that when he went to Yi Jing, it would be easy for others to find out his flaws. If everyone really revealed his true colors, Yuan Xi might not be able to protect himself.

However, he was still very resentful. This battle was aggrieved, and the soldiers on the other side were very average, but there were too many people, and they were shameless enough.

The Black Mountain Army actually drove its own people to attack the city in front!

In the face of the old, young, women and children who were carrying soil under the city, the recruits in Beixincheng hesitated to take action when defending the city, which led to them being passive for a while.

Qu Yi saw that there was no way out. If this continued, morale would be low, so he had to lead cavalry to attack the enemy to boost morale.

Unexpectedly, this hit the other party's arms, and the other party was waiting for him to leave the city.

At this moment, in the enemy formation, two generals rushed towards Qu Yi.
