Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 The fate of drifting is to become a floating
Yuan Xi watched Gongsun Zan's cavalry put all the corpses on their horses and leave, thinking that in this troubled world, there are people with underappreciated talents everywhere.

Just like the dead general, if he meets the Ming Lord, he may become a blockbuster.

But now, he met an unlucky person and bad luck, so he died in such an unknown way in a battle.

He ordered the soldiers to strip off the armor from Baima Yicong's body and throw it into the donkey cart.

Even if a war is won badly, it is much more cost-effective than a small defeat, because it can clean up the battlefield.

In particular, building a set of armor is extremely expensive, and it also involves a series of processes such as mining iron ore, iron smelting, steelmaking, and armor making. He, a small Beixin City, cannot afford it at all.

But it is much easier to obtain armor from the spoils of war on the battlefield and a little modification.

Today's victory was unprecedented in three years, and it was a coincidence that the armored infantry who were waiting for work defeated the long-distance cavalry, and there were two generals, Qu Yi and Zhao Yun, to help them.

Seeing a set of armor and weapons being put on the donkey cart, Yuan Xi was overjoyed, no wonder later generations said that the sound of the cannon was worth ten thousand taels of gold.

But this is far from enough, and only by defeating Gongsun Zan and bringing the whole of Youzhou under control can he fully utilize Youzhou's rich salt and iron resources, realize Yuan Xi's farming plan, and establish his own territory from the troubled times.

After this battle, Gongsun Zan's army must be more cautious in the future. This kind of good opportunity is hard to come by.

The living and wounded horses that were able to walk were taken away, and the dead were carried on the carts, including armor and weapons. The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield for less than half an hour before they were ready to push the carts back.

The corpses all over the ground were waiting for Gongsun Zan's army to come over and bury them. Yuan Xi was afraid that the night would be full of dreams, and the other side would have more pursuers, so he told everyone to return to Beixin City as soon as possible.

He looked at Qu Yi, who had a slightly displeased face on the left, and Zhao Yun, who was a little silent on the right, feeling extremely proud.

I also have two generals!
He turned his head and said a few words to Zhao Yun, and then felt dizzy.Only then did he calm down from the excitement, and felt some pain in his waist. He looked down and found that there was a hole in the armor in his waist, and blood was slowly oozing from it.

He touched his hand and found that there was a lot of bleeding. He immediately understood that during the horse battle, he was stabbed by the opponent's horse. Although it didn't penetrate directly, he was still injured.

Careless.

In the past few years, he has been cautious. He has won two consecutive victories in the past few days, and he has become swollen. He dared to face Bai Ma Yicong in a daze.

There are no eyes on the battlefield, how can nothing happen all the time?
Won't be karma to the waist, right?
He swayed twice and was about to fall off the horse.

Wu Zhao drove the carriage back to Yuan Xi's mansion alone, but a servant took the carriage away.

Wu Zhao stood in the yard not knowing what to do, seeing Yuan Xi's appearance when he left, he might not be able to come back for a while.

She didn't know what to do, and wandered around in the yard, and found that there were many houses in the mansion, but there were only a few servants and maids. She wanted to go up to help, but was politely rejected.

For the first time in the past few years, she felt so relaxed.

A few years ago, her husband got sick, and she got married for joy. Unexpectedly, after she got married, her husband's health deteriorated and he eventually died of illness.

At that time, she was newly widowed and mourning, but fortunately she was cared for by her father, but the good times did not last long, her father was sentenced to prison for a crime and died in prison.

At this time, the government and the public were afraid of the power of the powerful officials, and drew a line with her family one after another, making her life even more difficult.

Then there was a series of disasters and chaos, Luoyang was in trouble, the generals attacked each other, the emperor moved to Chang'an, Luoyang was repeatedly looted by bandits, and she hid in the mansion, terrified all day long.

In the end, the Southern Huns in Bingzhou lost control and took the opportunity to go south to plunder and loot Luoyang.

One night, her mansion was stormed by Huns soldiers, and all the servants fled in panic. She wanted to hide her father's solitary book collection, but she didn't have time to escape.

During her busy schedule, she painted her face with pine ink cinnabar collected by her father. This thing was originally used for calligraphy, painting and seals in the study. It is said that it will not fade for decades and centuries. If it is accidentally applied to the skin, it will Does not fade over the years.

When she did this, her face immediately became extremely terrifying, and she tried to distort her eyebrows and eyes, and her appearance became even uglier.

But what she didn't expect was that the Huns still took her abducted, and took some of her father's orphaned collections to the north.

She followed the team, and her feet were worn out several times. Some women were raped, some were killed for resisting, and some died of exhaustion on the way.

She escaped because of her ugly appearance, and thought about running away, but when she thought of her father's relics being taken outside the Great Wall by the Huns, she always felt a little unwilling.

Finally, in the valley outside Beixin City, she got her chance.

The Huns were ambushed by the Han soldiers and couldn't take care of themselves. The Han woman fled everywhere. She found a loophole and wanted to escape with her father's relics, but it rained again.

The collection of books should not be exposed to water, so she did not dare to open the box, so she could only hide under the car and wait, but was discovered by the Xiongnu chief Liu Bao, who was stabbed in the shoulder.

It just so happened that Yuan Xi led people to come, and Liu Bao fought to the death in front of the car.

Seeing that Yuan Xi was defeated by Liu Bao and was about to be stabbed to death by a bronze spear, she didn't know where she got the courage to stab Liu Bao's foot with the dagger she picked up.

With her help, Liu Bao finally lost, and she fainted due to excessive bleeding from her shoulder.

When she woke up, she was already in the mansion.

Only later did she discover that the leading general was actually Yuan Xi, the second son of Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao.

Now she didn't dare to reveal her identity anymore. At this time, her father was convicted and killed, and she belonged to the criminal ministers in the court and belonged to the rebel Dong Zhuo's faction.

And Yuan Shao was the vanguard of the rebellion against Dong. She rashly exposed her identity, which may be disadvantageous. In addition, her father's backer has passed away, who will speak for her?
But her father's collection of books made her feel worried. Many of them were orphans, with historical records and scriptures of various schools of thought. If they were lost, it would be a great loss.

But she hasn't figured out a suitable excuse to get it back.

She struggled for a long time, but when she heard the commotion at the entrance of the mansion, she hurriedly went out to have a look, only to see a group of soldiers hastily carrying the unconscious Yuan Xi inside.

Wu Zhao saw Yuan Xi lying on the stretcher, with blood oozing from the bandage around his waist, his face pale, his eyes closed tightly, and he felt dizzy for a while.

She saw the general who was driving in the morning yelling at her: "Come and help me, and treat the young master together with the doctors!"

Wu Zhao heard this, and hurried over.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Xi lay on the bed and opened his eyes.

It took a while before he remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. He looked at the wound on his waist. Herbal medicine had been applied to bandage it, but it still hurt a little.

Thinking of what happened during the day, he smiled wryly, it seems that he should be more cautious next time.

He slightly raised his hand, and Wu Zhao who was beside the bed woke up immediately, and said joyfully, "The general is awake?"

"The wound is not deep, but there is a lot of blood loss. The doctor has already stitched it up."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Wu Zhao had lingering fears, "Young master has been in a coma for more than a day, I'm afraid he's hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to make a bowl of porridge."

Yuan Xi was taken aback, almost two days?

He suddenly remembered something, and lost his voice: "It's broken!"
