Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 262
Yuan Xi found Hua Tuo, and after learning about Kong's resignation, he was taken aback.

Kong Rong's daughter won't live long?

He frowned and said, "Is there no way?"

After hearing this, Hua Tuo sighed, "I have seen more than a dozen patients with such symptoms, and all of them will not live for three to five years."

Yuan Xi's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists.

The level of medical treatment in later generations is so developed that there are still incurable diseases, let alone the present.

But still too young.

He went out of the house, a little bit lost, and sat in the middle of the courtyard, startled.

Cai Zhaoji was playing with Mrs. Wu's daughter in her arms. Seeing Yuan Xi's appearance, she wondered, "What happened?"

Yuan Xi told about Kong Rong's daughter, and Cai Zhaoji was also surprised when she heard this, "There is such a thing?"

"This...is a pity."

Yuan Xiqiang said with a smile: "This point is very fair. No matter rich or poor, high or low, no one knows how long the life expectancy will be. It can only be said that she has bad luck."

"However, Mr. Yuanhua said that if you take proper rest, you can live an extra year or two."

After hearing this, Cai Zhaoji sighed and nodded, "That's the only way to go."

"It's a pity that the marriage is called off, which may be a blow to her."

Looking at the girl in Cai Zhaoji's arms, Yuan Xi suddenly thought of something, and said, "It seems that everyone should practice more about this five-animal show, including this child, it is always good for the body."

"You have to go to bed early and get up early in the future, don't stay up late for the classics."

Cai Zhaoji hesitated and said, "But I'm not in a hurry..."

Yuan Xi said decisively: "You don't need to work so hard, you don't owe anyone anything."

"I'm happy if you live longer."

After hearing this, Cai Zhaoji was moved and nodded slightly.

Mrs. Wu listened to the two talking in the room, and when she thought about her family's affairs, she felt inexplicably sad.

Sometimes, even if you are in good health, you may not be able to live a long life.

Is it because my husband killed too many lives indiscriminately that he was punished by the heavens?
She watched what Yuan Xi and Cai Zhaoji were talking about, and Cai Zhaoji turned her head to the side, leaning on Yuan Xi's shoulder, feeling envious for some reason.

But when she saw Yuan Xi's back, she thought of the madness that night, and felt uncomfortable again. What is it all about!
And according to the relationship between Yuan Xi and Cai Zhaoji, what happened to me that night will be exposed sooner or later, how can I have the face to face others?

Mrs. Wu lived like a year, living every day with a feeling of abandonment.

In Xiapi City, Liu Bei was explaining things to his subordinates one by one. Now he is sitting in the town himself, but he sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Pengcheng at the junction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou to guard against Cao Cao.

However, what puzzled Liu Bei's counselors was that since Cao Ang led troops to attack Tancheng last time and was repulsed by Liu Bei's coalition forces, Cao Cao has remained silent.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led troops to the border to resist, and sent spies to investigate the surrounding hundreds of miles, and found that Cao Jun was nowhere to be seen.

After inquiring about the news, Cao Jun turned out to have simply withdrawn to Yanzhou!
Guan and Zhang were puzzled, but in case of fraud, they stationed at the border, and at the same time sent a letter to Liu Bei to explain the situation.

Liu Bei summoned his advisers and asked everyone what Cao Cao's intentions were, and they argued endlessly.

Jian Yong said: "Now my lord is joining forces with the Yuan family. Cao Cao should have given up Xuzhou because he was afraid that the Yuan family would blame him."

Sun Gan disagreed, and said: "Cao Cao coveted Xuzhou several times, how could he easily resign himself?"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid I will go back and mobilize the army again to attack Xuzhou."

Yuan Huan also echoed, "I heard that the two sons of the Yuan family helped Xuzhou this time. They acted privately and did not get Jizhou's consent."

"I heard that Yuan Xianfu, the third son who actually controls Jizhou, is quite critical of this."

"Besides, Yuan and Liu were allies earlier, and Cao Cao still came to attack, which shows that he doesn't care much about Yuan and Liu joining forces. The plan is not small."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. The Yuan family is also full of factions. If Yuan Xi hadn't found Yuan Tan last time, I'm afraid that Jizhou would sit back and watch Liu Bei lose Xuzhou.

Moreover, according to the information sent back from Yecheng's detailed work, there is a private saying in Jizhou that Liu Bei is a master devourer, and he cannot be allowed to become a prince, otherwise it will definitely be detrimental to his allies.

Now it seems that this statement has affected Yuan Shao's decision-making, otherwise it would be impossible to remain indifferent.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei, but Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu, who had been silent all this time. Mi Zhu was a little out of his mind at this time, and didn't notice Liu Bei's gaze.

Liu Bei coughed and said, "Zizhong, what do you think of Cao's movements?"

Only then did Mi Zhu come to his senses, and said, "It's true that Cao Cao coveted Xuzhou, but he fought several times, and finally returned without success."

"If it were me, I wouldn't smash Xuzhou because of this obsession, and I should change my direction."

After hearing this, everyone felt that what Mi Zhu said was very reasonable. No matter what happened within the Yuan family, now the three parties joined hands to guard Xuzhou, which has become a difficult nut for Cao Cao.

The matter of fighting is simple, but the subsequent relationship with the three parties is difficult to deal with.

Liu Bei murmured, "Since that's the case, is Xuzhou free from worries for the time being?"

"Then where is Cao Cao going to fight next?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one could say anything, Liu Bei was upset when he saw that he didn't stand up at this time, no one wanted to be the backbone, how could he make a decision?
Only then did he feel that the departure of Chen Qun and Chen Deng had caused him a great loss!

He waved his hand to let everyone disperse, but left Mi Zhu behind, and said directly: "Zi Zhong, I need counselors, more counselors."

"I hope that Zizhong will secretly search for talented people for me. I can only rest assured that this matter is left to Zizhong."

Mi Zhu quickly accepted the order, and he heard Liu Bei say, "I sent Zifang to Donghai County to be the sheriff, Zizhong won't blame me, will he?"

Mi Zhu hurriedly bowed and said, "How can my younger brother, He De, be able to be a county guard? It's all because of the love of the lord, and Zhu is extremely terrified."

Liu Bei nodded slightly. In fact, both of them understood that Mi Fang's talent was mediocre, and her relationship with everyone was very mediocre, especially when she had quarrels with Guan Yu.

Although Guan Yu was contemptuous of scholars, he acted fairly and was respected by Liu Bei's subordinate officials. Therefore, although he kept him at a distance, at least he respected Guan Yu on weekdays.

However, Mi Fang has always hated Guan Yu because of a small matter in the past. Since she did not drive, she has been against Guan Yu in everything, making the relationship between the two worse.

Mi Zhu tried his best to mediate, but Mi Fang felt good about himself and didn't listen to Mi Zhu's advice.

Donghai County is in the northeast of Xiapi, adjacent to Langya in the north, and Guangling in the south. It belongs to Liu Bei's only remaining coastal county. Putting Mi Fang there, between the two Yuan and Liu Bei's administrative offices, it should be more honest.

Liu Bei immediately agreed. Although Mi Fang was a little reluctant, she still went to Donghai to take up the post.

Mi Zhu stood up, hesitantly said: "Sister She also went to Haixi with Mi Fang, Zhu did not handle this well, it hurt the reputation of the lord, I am really ashamed."

After hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, Zizhong, it's all gossip, nothing to worry about."

Mi Zhu thought in his heart that if it is really just rumors, why is it so?

Under Liu Bei's suggestion, Mi Zhu asked Mi Zhen to follow him to the East China Sea, because now the rumors in the city had affected Liu Bei's reputation, and it was really not suitable for Mi Zhen to stay in Xiapi.

Speaking of which, the cause of this matter was Yuan Xi, and Liu Bei didn't know now whether he wanted to resent Yuan Xi or thank him.

Originally, after Liu Bei's wife was taken into captivity, under Mi Zhu's planning, Liu Bei's marriage to Mi Zhen was a matter of mutual satisfaction for both parties.

The bad thing is that Yuan Xi sent Liu Bei's wife and daughter back, and the matter turned out to be unknown.

If you marry, you will be criticized as having an impure plot. If you don't marry, you will not be able to fulfill your promise to the Mi family.

Although Liu Bei gave Mi Fang an official position as compensation, Mi Zhen's marriage is pending and has become a joke.

In fact, for Liu Bei, it is much more important than the reputation he wants to establish, and more important than a mere Mi Zhen, but he is now riding a tiger.

At this time, Yuan Xi rescued Liu Bei in an extremely awkward way.

He asked Guo Jia to propose marriage to the Mi family for him, asking Na to marry Mi Zhen!
When this matter was heard by Liu Bei's subordinates, the first reaction was that Yuan Xi had bad intentions and wanted to drive a wedge between the Mi family and Liu Bei.

But then everyone thought about it, this is a move to find another way to solve Liu Bei's current predicament!
With Yuan Xi's proposal, Liu Bei will be able to reject his marriage with the Mi family in a high-sounding manner, and at the same time win the reputation of adult beauty.

And Liu Bei's goal has already been achieved, the Mi family has contributed property, Liu Bei has obtained money, food, soldiers and horses, marrying Mi Zhen is not worth mentioning for the struggle for world hegemony.

Liu Bei even wondered if Yuan Xi was using this to sell himself a favor?
But considering Yuan Xi's lustful rumors, maybe he just wanted to marry Mi Zhen?

Liu Bei would rather be the latter, because if it is the former, it means that Yuan Xi is too scheming, and his schemes are so deep that he has reached the level of conspiracy. It's just too scary!

Liu Bei felt deep fear in his heart, but he was also a decisive person, and let Mi Fang take Mi Zhen away, showing that he had no intention of getting involved with Mi Zhen in the future.

Sure enough, after Liu Bei announced the news, the rumors stopped immediately, and the reputation of benevolence and virtue became more popular. The aristocratic families from all over the world praised Liu Bei for being unattractive, high-spirited, and honest, which is really admirable.

But the ball was kicked to Mi's family again, and Mi Zhu was in a state of embarrassment, because he wanted to refuse and welcome, and when he wanted to put on a show, Yuan Xi went back to Guangling directly. Forget the same!
Mi Zhu is scratching his head and scratching his head in anxiety these days, isn't it Yuan Xi, you came to propose marriage, why did you leave without making a sound, what should I do?

I can no longer lick my face and ask in person, what about my sister?

The one who is even more entangled is Mi Zhen. Now she is in Qu County, Donghai Zhisuo, in the northwest of Haixi, looking towards Haixi City in the south.

The two cities are separated by only the Huaihe River, and Qu County is also a natural seaport.

At this time, the Mi family's mansion was built on the highest point in the city, and Mi Zhen was sitting in the small building, watching the misty sea outside the city.

She thought in her heart that she might have offended Yuan Xi with what she said to Zhen Mi, so she must have been left alone.

I was just in a moment of enthusiasm, as for it!
