Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 256 Things have changed
In the afternoon, Yuan Xi asked Sun Li to drive the carriage, and he took Cao Xian and Cao Jie to Guangling City to buy new year's goods.

Before he left, he went to see Zhen Mi, but Zhen Mi was more ill than Cai Zhaoji, and it took more than ten days to recover. The two had a conversation, and Yuan Xi asked Zhen Mi what he wanted to bring back.

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Your husband can buy whatever you want, just pay attention to safety, lest there are people with evil intentions."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, since Yuanlong became the prefect, he has established relationships with most of the nobles in the city, and now the city is much more stable."

"It's a pity that you need to recuperate now, and you can't go out for the time being, and you won't be able to see the lively scene in the city."

Regret also appeared on Zhen Mi's face, and she said, "Then ask your husband to take a look on your behalf."

Cao Xian and Cao Jie sat in the carriage, watching the scene inside Guangling City curiously through the window.

Although the two had seen the New Year's scene when they were in Yecheng, the customs of the two places were quite different, which made the two women feel quite novel.

In particular, there is a habit of offering sacrifices to ancestors during Chinese New Year. The bustling crowd carried offerings in their hands and walked out of the city, making the streets of Guangling City extremely crowded.

At this time, there were yamen servants wearing sackcloth uniforms of the same color and standard, and came out to stand on both sides of the road to maintain order. Yuan Xi saw it, and felt a sense of familiarity in a trance.

The roadside stalls are lined up one by one, all kinds of local specialties, embroidery, velvet flowers, jewelry, makeup powder, lacquerware, caramel, snacks... There are so many things to see, Cao Xiancao Jie lay on the car window, his eyes shined brightly.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi stopped the carriage and said with a smile, "Get out of the carriage and have a look. You can buy whatever you want."

The two women cheered, opened the car door and rushed down.

Looking at the beaming people in the city, Yuan Xi found it hard to imagine that this is a city that has changed hands several times within half a year.

The people's thinking is actually very simple, whoever can make them live a good life, they will support whoever.

In the future, if someone takes this city from Yuan Xi and treats the people better, the people will feel at ease.

Yuan Xi thought that there was nothing wrong with this, who wouldn't want to go beyond it?

Just when Guangling City was welcoming the New Year peacefully, Cao Yang, the Sili who was thousands of miles away, broke out several wars one after another.

Since Li Jue, Guo Si and Yang Feng fought in Hongnong last month, and many officials were killed, Yang Feng was defeated and fled with the emperor Liu Xie all the way.

Li Jue and Guo Si pursued closely, and caught up with Yang Feng at the border of Caoyang. The two armies held each other for dozens of days, and fought successively in the middle. Dong Cheng and Yang Feng gradually lost.

Today, Dong Cheng is standing on the ground in Liu Xie's tent, lowering his head slightly and said to Liu Xie: "The Tian Family, the situation is urgent, I'm afraid we must be prepared to escape alone!"

When the people in the tent heard this, everyone turned pale. Dong Cheng's words made it clear that except for Liu Xie, no one else could take it away!

After hearing this, Liu Xie looked sideways, and saw Fushou beside him, with a hint of panic on his face.

He glanced over and landed on another young concubine.

Dong Guiren, daughter of Dong Cheng.

At this moment, her face was much calmer, and when she looked at Fushou, there was even a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

When Liu Xie saw it, he knew it in his heart, and he had a good plan.

Dong Cheng took him away, so naturally he would not give up his daughter, and when Fushou was left behind, the position of queen would be vacant, and Dong Guiren could take the opportunity to take the throne.

Liu Xie was a little angry, it was at this time, and he was still thinking so carefully, he really didn't take himself seriously.

However, he has nothing to do now, so he can only say: "According to what the general sees, how long can we last?"

Dong Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's three to five days at most, and one or two days at least."

Liu Xie heard this, and said, "How about pulling out the camp at night?"

Dong Chengying said: "The terrain here is complicated, if you make a mistake on the road at night, your Majesty's life will be in danger."

After hearing this, Liu Xie asked again: "The month before last, it was announced to the world that the princes of all parties will come to escort them. Is there any news?"

Dong Cheng bowed his head and said, "Not at all."

He thought to himself at this time that the Han Dynasty was already dead in name only, would anyone really come to help?
And His Majesty is also whimsical, not only to the princes of all parties, but also to the remnants of the Yellow Turbans such as the Baibo bandits and the Black Mountain bandits, and even the Southern Huns!

Hearing this, Liu Xie sighed, thinking that the Southern Huns should not come. Now Shan Yu Fuluo died for no reason, and his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded him and was waiting to see. How could he express his opinion so quickly, in case he died? It's gone, isn't it a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket?

The other princes are too far away, I am afraid that the edict has not yet been delivered, and the only thing they can rely on right now is the Baibo bandits hundreds of miles away. The key is, will they really come?

Speaking of which, Yu Fuluo had a close friendship with the Baibo bandits during his lifetime. According to Wang Shen's "Book of Wei", "Yu Fuluo then left all of them in China. Because of the chaos in the world, he joined forces with the Baibo bandits in Xihe to destroy Taiyuan and Hanoi. Copy the counties as bandits."

While Liu Xie was thinking, he only heard the sound of horns in the distance. This is Li Jue and Guo Si attacking again!
Dong Cheng cursed secretly, and before he could speak to Liu Xie, he turned around and left the camp, and ordered the soldiers and generals to come out of the camp to meet him.

Not long after, Liu Xie heard the shout of killing Zhentian outside, got up and said to Fushou, "Come out with me to have a look."

The two of them walked out of the tent together, and Dong Guiren saw that Liu Xie didn't pay attention to him behind him, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Regardless of the dissuasion of his personal attendants, Liu Xie took Fu Shou up to the watchtower, and saw the two sides fighting in a melee in the distance.

Bing Liang's generals are all very brave, Guo Si once fought Lu Bu single-handedly, he was not a mediocre player, now he and Li Jue rushed to fight in person, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's side didn't support, they were beaten and retreated steadily.

Even Liu Xie can see that the signs of defeat have already appeared, and I am afraid that the general trend is over.

At this moment, a general from Yang Feng's army rushed out, holding a long axe, and charged straight at Li Jue and Guo Si's main formation. The lower part will be surrounded by people.

Liu Xie recognized that it was Xu Huang, one of Yang Feng's subordinates. He couldn't take a single blow and was already surrounded by a group of people.

But that was the end of it. Xu Huang was surrounded by more and more people. Seeing that he couldn't escape, Liu Xie felt sorry for him. Could it be that this fierce general just folded here?

At this moment, Li Jue and Guo Si's two wings began to faintly become confused.

This chaos began to slowly spread to the central army, and Li Jue and Guo Si also began to realize that something was wrong, and quickly ordered the army to shrink, but the rout of the two wings was faster than they imagined!
Liu Xieyi took a look and couldn't help being overjoyed. It turned out that the two wings of Li Jue and Guo Si were attacked by two army horses that suddenly appeared.

The person he was waiting for finally came!

"The Biography of the Southern Huns in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty" - Shanyu Huchuquan, established in the second year of Xingping.Brother Yi (Yu Fuluo) was expelled and was not allowed to return to the country. The number was copied by Xianbei.In the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian returned from Chang'an to the east, King Youxian went to Bei and Baibo bandit Shuai Han Xian and other guards of the emperor refused to attack Li Jue and Guo Si.

The disintegration of Li Jue and Guo Si's two wings has spread to the central army. They tried to regroup several times, but found that the situation was over, so they had to lead their subordinates to resist the pursuit and retreat slowly.

Liu Xie stood on the watchtower and laughed.

The title of Son of Heaven is still somewhat useful after all!

Everyone thinks that the big man is going to be finished, but he, Liu Xie, will never give up!

Guangling City finally ushered in the Spring Festival on New Year's Day in the first lunar month.

During the day, Yuan Xi took Chen Deng Taishi Ci Tianyu and others to inspect the barracks first, gave New Year gifts to the soldiers, and then returned to the Chengshou Mansion to meet the visiting noble officials.

Then came the seven-day spring break. Except for the officers and soldiers on duty, everyone went home happily for the New Year.

However, Yuan Xi, Taishi Ci Tianyu and others inspected the city again, because in the late Han Dynasty, many big battles took place during the New Year's Day, and the purpose was to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, so Yuan Xi did not dare to be careless.

When all the spies came back and found nothing unusual, Yuan Xi returned with peace of mind. At this time, the sun was about to set in the sky.

When Yuan Xi returned to the mansion, he found that the people in the mansion were all waiting for him to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone gathered together, and Huan, as the only elder in the family, was naturally in charge of hosting the banquet.

As soon as Yuan Xi came in, he noticed that everyone was looking at him and smiling. This scene seemed familiar. He thought to himself, he didn't look like Kong Yiji, did he?
He looked around and saw that Zhen Mi was pouring wine for Huan Shi. She was just recovering from her illness at this time, and her body was still a little weak, so that she had to support the wrist of the other hand with one hand to hold the wine pot steady.

Cai Zhaoji sat at the bottom, but there were several tubes of bamboo slips beside her. Now the classics are almost copied, only a few rare ones are left. Except for Cai Zhaoji who can understand it, everyone else is at a loss.

Even Cai Zhaoji had to look at it for several days before coming up with some clues, so she kept thinking about it without leaving the bamboo slips.

Cao Xian and Cao Jie squatted aside, playing with Cao Hua and Mrs. Cai's daughter.

In a blink of an eye, Yuan Xi found that Mrs. Cai was also present, presumably the Huan family had invited her here.

He paused for a while on Mrs. Cai, and was actually attracted for a moment.

In terms of figure, Mrs. Cai is somewhat similar to Cai Zhaoji, maybe a little more bumpy, and with good maintenance, she looks less than 30 years old, which is when women are at their most attractive.

Moreover, although Mrs. Cai's appearance is slightly inferior to Zhen Mi's, she is still outstanding, and her gestures, even the mature charm between her brows, are not possessed by Zhen Mi.

Yuan Xi thought to himself, no wonder Madam Cai was kidnapped by Sun Ce, women in this era have such looks, if they can't protect themselves, they will bring misfortune.

Yuan Xi went up to pay homage to the Huan family, and pulled Zhen Mi to sit down again. At this time, Mrs. Wu came up with a jug and poured wine for the two of them.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huan hurriedly said, "How can you let Madam do this?"

Mrs. Wu said in a low voice: "Master saved our mother and daughter. I have never had a chance to thank you. Please let me express my feelings."

Yuan Xi also declined, "I accept Madam's wish, but I can't drink this wine."

Mrs. Wu said apologetically, "Don't tell me you still want to patrol the city? It's my concubine who is being rude."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I have patrolled around during the day, and I won't go out tonight, but I really can't drink."

Zhen Mi also laughed beside her and said, "Madam doesn't know, husband really can't drink."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt her heart pounding. In fact, she had heard that Yuan Xi was not good at drinking, so she came up to persuade her to drink. The purpose was to see if she could make Yuan Xi drunk!
Because things were different from what she expected, Yuan Xi didn't patrol the city, so wouldn't he stay in the mansion all night?
In this case, there will be big troubles, because she is planning to escape tonight!
