Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 More and more like someone

Wu Zhao fabricated the surname Wu because she suddenly thought of her experience of having no father, no mother, no husband and no children.

When Yuan Xi heard her name, he thought to himself that this woman is called Wu Zhao?

Although this name sounds ordinary, a woman with a name and surname does not look like an ordinary servant girl. Maybe she doesn't want to reveal her origin?

But since the other party saved him, Yuan Xi didn't intend to get into the details. He remembered that he still had something to do in the morning, so he said goodbye: "Young lady, please recuperate here, and I will go to resettle those kidnapped women first."

After Wu Zhao heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Is the general going to distribute them to his sergeants?"

At that time, during the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was common for women to be kidnapped, not only by foreigners, but even the generals of the Han Dynasty would even do something to their own people.

Needless to say Gongsun Zan, Dong Zhuo is even more famous than Gongsun Zan.

When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he sent troops to plunder the people, which was called a prison search. Even when he was stationed in Yangcheng, southeast of Luoyang, where the local gods were worshipped, his soldiers killed all the men and looted women, property and goods. , The cattle and horses returned to Luoyang.

What is particularly heinous is that they even cut off the man's head and hung it on the shaft of the car, lying that he had returned from killing a thief.

Afterwards, the incident was revealed and there was an uproar in the government and the public, but no one dared to speak out due to Dong Zhuo's coercion. On the contrary, Cai Wenji left a poem describing the tragedy in the sad and indignant poems handed down by later generations.

Cut off without any leftovers, and the corpses refuse to support each other.

The male head hangs on the side of the horse, and the female is behind the horse.

The reason why Dong Zhuo's army is loyal to him is also related to his unprincipled buying of soldiers.

In troubled times, soldiers are everything. In comparison, common people are like ants.

Wu Zhao's question stems from this.

Yuan Xi stopped when he heard Wu Zhao's question, and said, "Good question."

"Those who are willing to leave, I will give them a certain amount of money and food, and let them go home on their own."

"Those who are willing to stay, I will arrange for them to work in the city to make a living."

"If they feel that they are not enough to live on their own, they can also find a male in the city to marry, and I will give soldiers an extra half of the ration monthly salary, so as to save some food, it is no problem to support one more woman."

Wu Zhao was silent after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but said: "Going south is dangerous, there are many bandits and bandits, how dare they leave?"

"If you do this, won't you still force them to marry?"

After Yuan Xi heard this, he smiled and said, "You can see clearly that this kind of knowledge and conversation are by no means ordinary. Are you afraid that you are the maidservant of the imperial family?"

Wu Zhao kept his mouth shut.

Yuan Xi sighed: "I'm really not a good person, and I don't blame others for everything, to satisfy everyone."

"You can't be convinced just by what I say."

"For the sake of saving my life, seeing is believing. If you want, you can come with me and see the situation in this city with your own eyes."

Wu Zhao found that the aristocratic family in front of him was very different from the one he had encountered before.

She has been with her father since she was a child, and she has also met many celebrities' children, who are either high-spirited, arty, or wild.

And the husband I married is also a son of a famous family. He has a good conversation and rarely has a talent.

It's a pity that before she got married, her husband was sick in bed, and after marrying her, he couldn't get out of bed. Wu Zhao could only talk to him every day, hoping that he would get better.

Unfortunately, within a year, her husband passed away.

While Wu Zhao was grieving, he wondered if he was so unlucky because he was an ominous person, or because most of the men from his husband's family died young?
Compared with the sons of the gentry that Wu Zhao had met, the Yuan Xi in front of him spoke with a patience and calmness that his peers could not match.

Although he came from a family of four generations and three lords, it is quite absurd to hear that his father, Yuan Shao, acted like a chivalrous man when he was young. How could he have such a gentle and refined son?

And yesterday, Yuan Xi fought a bloody battle, but he was full of passion and ambition, and he was a little confused for a while.

Which one is the real him?

She became curious, bit her lips lightly, cupped her hands and said: "Since the general is ordered, the concubine is offended."

Yuan Xi led Wu Zhao, and the two walked out the door one after the other.

When approaching the door, Qu Yi and Dong Zhaogang came out of the house after finishing their breakfast, and the four of them met.

Yuan Xi briefly told Qu Yi about Wu Zhao's affairs, and said to Ju Yi: "Brother, let Sun Li find a carriage, and let's go around the city together, and go to the house where the captive women are housed."

After Qu Yi heard this, he immediately went to call for someone. Dong Zhao wanted to leave when he saw her. When he passed by Wu Zhao, he saw her face was black and red, and he didn't pay attention to her, so he passed by.

When Yuan Xi and Wu Zhao walked away, Dong Zhaocai stopped suddenly and looked at Wu Zhao's back.

In the past, when he was young, he went to Qingzhou to study, and visited a very famous scholar and Confucianist at the Taishan Yang family.

In the home of this great Confucian teacher, Dong Zhao met his daughter who was still in her prime. Why did she look so similar to Wu Zhao?

Although Wu Zhao had a lot of scars on his face, his facial features were too similar!

Dong Zhao was terrified and suspicious. If it was really the daughter of the great Confucianist, he might not be able to see her identity now.

Because that great Confucian belongs to Dong Zhuo's party!

Dong Zhuo was punished, and Wang Yun liquidated Dong Zhuo's remaining party and killed the great Confucian.

Although Wang Yun was killed by Li Jue and Guo Si, that great Confucian has not yet overturned his case.

Dong Zhao bowed his head and thought, the key to the world in the future still lies in the emperor!
You must think hard and go to the emperor's side to grasp the general trend of the world!
As for Wu Zhao, if he is really the daughter of an old man, it would be good if he could save his life in troubled times, and it would be good to be with the young master?

He shook his head, and went to the back room. Yuan Xi promised to let him bring some ancient books and playthings to Luoyang for shopping. Thinking that there might be many good things inside, he suddenly became excited again.

Yuan Xi led Wu Zhao to the door, and Qu Yi was already waiting in the carriage outside.

The two got into the carriage, and there were a few soldiers outside the door, pulling a cart of musty-smelling things covered in wet mud, and walked over.

The leading soldier said a few words to Qu Yi, and Qu Yi listened, and waved his hands to let the soldiers leave first.

While driving the carriage, he turned his head and said to Yuan Xi: "This time I was lucky, the people sent out dug up several cemeteries and obtained five or six sets of armor."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said with joy on his face, "A lot of armor was damaged in the battle yesterday, and most of the Xiongnu armor captured was useless. Only this kind of armor buried with nobles is well-made and suitable for elite soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao asked in surprise, "The general robbed the tomb?"

"This is an ominous thing."

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "I dug the tombs of the nobles of the Xiongnu."

In Chinese history, the era of heavy cavalry began from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Heavy armored cavalry with armored horses and overweight horses became popular for a while.

At that time, many Hu nobles were buried with Han Meiji and armored horses, just like the Han women captured by Liu Bao this time, many of them may end up being buried as martyrs.

It was precisely because of this that Yuan Xi went to Youzhou. At the turn of the border, there were many tombs of barbarian tombs. To him, the burial objects inside were more attractive than gold and silver treasures.

The armor in the tomb, although the leather strips have been rotten, but the armor pieces are well preserved, and with a little treatment, a set of armor can be made again.

This is also the reason why he has privately built up an armored army after he came to Beixincheng for a few years.

Putting effort into harvesting things in the soil, tomb robbery is also a kind of farming, right?
