Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25
As soon as Yuan Xi woke up, he remembered something, and got up impatiently to find Dong Zhao and others.

Seeing Yuan Xi's tense expression, Wu Zhao thought it must be an urgent matter, so she hurriedly comforted Yuan Xi to rest for a while, and she ran to the house to find someone.

She walked half a circle around the mansion before finding Qu Yi in the backyard martial field.

At this time, Qu Yi was holding a long wooden stick, and stared at Zhao Yun in front of him with an unfriendly expression. The two had already wrestled for some rounds, and it was obvious that Qu Yi couldn't get a bargain.

In the past two days, Zhao Yun was called by Qu Yi to live in the city lord's mansion, and he was temporarily separated from his subordinates who had surrendered with him earlier.

Zhao Yun knew that he was a new general and Yuan Xi was unconscious, so it was normal for Qu Yi to be wary of him at this time, so he didn't care too much.

In fact, another reason is that Qu Yi has always been worried about the half-stroke he lost to the gun in the woods that day, and tried every means to get back the scene.

Although Zhao Yun lowered his stance, he would not let the water go in the duel, and naturally he responded with all his strength. As a result, Qu Yi lost more than he won in two days, and was extremely depressed.

Qu Yi discovered that Zhao Yun was actually not much better than himself in his prime, but he had one very obvious advantage.

Strong burst.

It is reflected on the battlefield, that is, the first few shots are extremely fast and ruthless, if you can't stop it, you will be angry on the spot.

And as long as Zhao Yun's previous moves are blocked with all his strength, he will slowly consume his strength and fight for a protracted battle. After that, the two sides will be tied, and even the hope of winning will be greatly increased.

After Qu Yi was injured, his stamina was gone. Seeing Zhao Yun fighting more and more bravely today, he secretly groaned in his heart.

Just at this time, Wu Zhao ran over out of breath, saying that Yuan Xi was awake, and immediately said: "It must be something urgent, let's go and have a look first."

After speaking, Qu Yi threw away his long stick, and said to Zhao Yun, "Today we won't decide the outcome, let's fight again tomorrow."

Zhao Yun listened, put away the wooden stick, smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing Qu Yi, he gritted his teeth bitterly. I just haven't regained my strength. Don't act like a sensible person, it will look even more hateful!
Wu Zhao led the two of them to Yuan Xi's room. As soon as Qu Yi entered, Yuan Xi hurriedly shouted, "Has Gongsun Zan's army ever attacked in the past two days?"

Qu Yi thought Yuan Xi was talking about the military situation, and said lightly, "Don't worry, I send soldiers out of the city every day to investigate, and the city wall defenders are also on guard day and night. Gongsun Zan's army has not made any movement for the past two days."

Yuan Xi looked at the sun outside and said: "I made a mistake, I forgot to tell you."

"This year's autumn has been raining continuously. The weather has finally cleared up in the past few days, and the foreign enemies on both sides have also been cleared away. The wheat fields in the south of the city can be harvested with confidence."

Qu Yi was stunned, and then suddenly said: "I've made some mistakes. Mr. Gongren mentioned yesterday that I said that the livestock in the city were just used to pull the war the day before yesterday, and they were extremely tired. I wanted to rest for a few more days. So as not to be exhausted."

Yuan Xi said: "It's better sooner rather than later. Brother, please go and collect all the livestock that can pull carts in the city, so that the people can bring all the tools that can be pushed and picked, and they will go out of the city tomorrow morning to grab them."

"I'll be there then."

Qu Yi nodded, and just about to go out, he turned around and said, "Don't be brave, you have been in a coma and had a fever for two days, and it was Wu Zhao who took care of you for two days and two nights, and you haven't eaten any rice, how can you have the strength to go out?"

"I really want to go out of the city, at least I need to recover some energy."

Wu Zhao heard this, got up quickly and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to make some porridge."

Qu Yi waited for Wu Zhao to go out, saw Zhao Yun still staying in the house, hesitated for a while, and heard Yuan Xi say: "Brother, just go out, now Brother Zhao is from my side, I believe he is just like a brother."

After hearing this, Qu Yi got up and went out.

Zhao Yun saw that Qu Yi turned his head three times at a step, but finally disappeared, and said to Yuan Xi, "It's a good thing that General has such a loyal Qu Yi."

Yuan Xi stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao can call me Xianyi, otherwise it will look too natural."

Zhao Yun knelt in front of the table and said, "Yun is terrified. Gongsun Zan has many generals under his command. I've been wasted for several years, and my reputation is not obvious. Why do you alone have such a favorable opinion of me?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, what should I say?
I can't always say that you are the best military commander of this era in terms of loyalty and military strength in later generations, so I am so relieved?
He thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard that brother Zhao abandoned his father and went to Gongsun Zan. He had quite a lot of talk. I'm afraid the inside story is not that simple, is it?"

"My father's actions, although there are many inappropriate things, but in terms of implementing benevolent government, he is no worse than Gongsun Zan, right?"

Zhao Yun was silent, because what Yuan Xi said was true.

Although Yuan Shao's Jizhou was stolen from Han Fu's hands, Yuan Shao also did some things in order to buy people's hearts.

Jizhou was the outbreak area of ​​the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Among them, the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, were all located in Jizhou, and Julu County was the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army. As well as the harassment of the Southern Huns, it can be said that there are internal and external troubles.

After that, Yuan Shao implemented the policy of self-cultivation in Jizhou, and the appearance of Jizhou was completely new. Yecheng, which had been ravaged by war, became a prosperous city with a prosperous economy. It not only bought the hearts of the local nobles, but also improved the lives of the people Quite a lot.

In real history, even though Yuan Shao failed in the Battle of Guandu and was forced to retreat to Hebei for defense, Cao Cao pressed on every step of the way, and some counties surrendered to Cao.

But after that, Cao Cao's army could not attack for a long time, so he had to retreat. Yuan Shao took back all these counties and counties, which shows that they are still quite popular.

It wasn't until the seventh year of Jian'an, when Yuan Shao passed away, that Jizhou and Bingzhou Youzhou were occupied by Yuan Shao's three sons and attacked each other, Cao Cao found a chance to defeat them one by one.

Even so, when Cao Cao attacked Yecheng in the ninth year of Jian'an, from March to August, all methods of tunneling, earth mountain, and water attack were not allowed to enter. In the end, his nephew, Shen Rong, surrendered, and Cao Cao was able to break through Yecheng.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao": With his brother Rong as the captain of the East Gate, Rong opened the gate at night to conduct troops, and was assigned to resist the battle in the city.

From the Battle of Guandu to Cao Cao's plan to attack Yecheng, it took Cao Cao four full years to break through the Yecheng run by Yuan Shao. It can be seen that Yuan Shao's power still retained a considerable part after the Battle of Guandu.

After that, Cao Cao gradually turned Yecheng into the capital of his fiefdom, and the political center gradually shifted from Xuchang to Yecheng. It can be seen that even as Yuan Shao's old opponent, Cao Cao spoke highly of Yuan Shao's management.

Seeing Zhao Yun's silence, Yuan Xi suddenly said, "Brother Yun is probably not going to Gongsun Zan, but Liu Yu?"

"Is it because what my father did during the chaos of the Han Dynasty a few years ago made Brother Yun somewhat disapproving?"

"Brother Yun's ambition is to restore the Han Dynasty?"

Zhao Yun was very surprised at this time, why did the other party seem to see through his mind?
When Yuan Xi saw Zhao Yun's expression, he was determined. He had what happened to Zhao Yun in the second half of his life, which can confirm his thoughts.

Because after Liu Bei entered Bashu, the two who were originally quite close seemed to have some problems.

Especially when Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Zhao Yun didn't even show up.

When the Shu State defeated Wu, only Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang stood up to oppose it and set up their own masters to attack Wei State first.

After this incident, Zhao Yun received a cold reception for quite a long time, as can be seen from the history books.
