Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31 Want to pick my peaches?

The news that Yuan Xi had killed hundreds of Hun bandits had already reached Yecheng.

It is said that the two factions in Ye City who support the eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang have different opinions on Yuan Xi's move, but most people still hold an opposing attitude, saying that this move will affect the relationship with the Southern Huns, and even attack Gongsun Zan planning.

Chen Liugao, represented by Gao Gan, also criticized this.

The Gao clan of Chen Liu belonged to Yuan Shao's wife's family, and Bingzhou was originally the territory that Yuan Shao promised to the Gao clan. Now that Yuan Xi has provoked the Southern Huns who occupy most of Bingzhou, how will the Gao clan be able to securely control Bingzhou in the future?
Not to mention, Yuan Shao sent an urgent letter, saying that he would send people to Beixincheng to investigate the matter in the near future, and asked Yuan Xi to go back to Yecheng.

As for Yuan Xi rescuing hundreds of Han women, recruiting Zhao Yun, and defeating hundreds of Bai Mayi, nothing was mentioned in the letter.

After Yuan Xi saw the letter, his expression was gloomy, and he threw the silk book out viciously.

He even doubted whether he was his own, regardless of other things, this was obviously picking his peaches in Beixin City, and the city that he had run for three years, once let go, it would be difficult to come back!

Wu Zhao who was at the side silently picked up the silk book, glanced at it, and understood the clue, and said softly: "Your Majesty has been troubled to save us girls."

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "It's not all for you."

"Sooner or later, the Southern Huns will be in chaos, and it is impossible to coexist peacefully with them."

Wu Zhao asked suspiciously, "How do you say that?"

Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "The Han Dynasty is weak, and the foreign race will be chaotic."

"Giving in to foreigners is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers. If these foreigners increase in Bingzhou and even outside the Great Wall, chaos will inevitably arise and bring disaster to the world."

"At that time, the entire north will be devastated, and the children of the Han family will be in a terrible situation."

The reason why Yuan Xi wants to occupy Youzhou is not only because Youzhou has great potential and extremely rich resources, which are far from being developed.

But Youzhou is not stable, surrounded by foreigners, Jingzhou is much more peaceful than Youzhou when it comes to farming alone.

But in the future, Youzhou will be the source of disasters and chaos in the world, the beginning of chaos in the five lakes, and the root of turmoil in all dynasties.

Afterwards, the rise of Liao, Jin, Jurchen, and Hou Jin all have something to do with Liaodong.

Strictly speaking, this situation was jointly caused by the Cao family and the Sima family.

Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou twice, killing tens of thousands of people, and the Central Plains experienced great wars, and there were no people living in thousands of miles.

If you want to quickly resume production and quickly fill the population vacancies, you can only use the method of population migration.

Later, Wei State did the same thing, migrating people from the frontiers, such as Youzhou, Bingzhou, Bashu and other places, into the interior.

But it also had side effects.

During the period of Wei State, the Gongsun family who ruled Liaodong for three generations and suppressed Goguryeo, Rangbuyu, Sanhan, and Yeji and other northern nationalities were defeated by Sima Yi.

The Han population in the north decreased sharply, and foreign tribes such as the Xianbei and the Huns gradually became dominant and controlled the north. By the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, the number of Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman and Beidi in Youping and other places reached millions.

You must know that during the Three Kingdoms period, the combined population of the Three Kingdoms was only ten million.

With so many foreigners, once they meet the right opportunity, how can they not be chaotic?
After that, the Jin Dynasty had no time to look north and indulged the foreigners, and only then did the five chaos and chaos of the future.

Yuan Xi didn't know how far he could go in this troubled world. Heroes of the Three Kingdoms were everywhere, and he might not be the one who had the last laugh.

But he also has ideas of his own.

At least let Wu Huan Hua, the less likely it happens, the better.

And as a person of later generations, Yuan Xi knew that Zhu Di's ability to rise from Youzhou to occupy the world, and the emperor guarded the gate of the country was enough to prove that Youzhou had the potential to serve as a barrier for the world!

So in the valley that day, when Yuan Xi learned that the one he had captured was Liu Bao, the son of the Xiongnu Shanyu, the future King Zuoxian of the Huns, and the father of Liu Yuan, one of the Sixteen Kingdoms, he killed him without hesitation.

The feeling of changing history seems to be really fulfilling!

Wu Zhao listened to Yuan Xi's words, with an unquestionable confidence, curiously asked: "Could it be possible that the young master can foresee the future?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I understand a little bit."

Wu Zhao only thought Yuan Xi was joking, and she pointed to the silk book and said, "Every word in this letter implies that the trip to Yecheng is not easy, and you need to make plans early."

Yuan Xi had asked Wu Zhao to teach women how to read in the past few days, and he was surprised to find that Wu Zhao was not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in rhythm, and his knowledge was even more extraordinary, and he could grasp the key points of things with just a few words.

He said, "What countermeasure do you have?"

Wu Zhao thought for a while: "Young master's power is still too weak."

"May I ask Yuan Zhoumu's subordinates, how many people support the young master?"

Yuan Xi smiled wryly and said, "It was all divided up by my elder brother and third younger brother."

Wu Zhaodao: "Is there any hope of attracting a group of people?"

Yuan Xi pondered for a while: "I don't have much hope."

If he could steal people from Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, he would have stayed in Ye City three years ago, and he would not have come to Beixin City to earn his life.

Wu Zhao nodded slightly, and she understood that the second son of Yuan Shao in front of him was really not favored, and even the [-]-stone Beixin City Guard was a temporary official position.

She pondered for a while, and said: "I have something to say, I don't know if it's right or not, but my son and aunt listened to it in vain, so it's not surprising that I said something wrong."

Seeing that Wu Zhao spoke solemnly, Yuan Xi sat down solemnly, bowed his head slightly and said, "Madam, please tell me."

Wu Zhao said: "At that time in the world, those who achieved great things needed two things."

"One is soldiers and horses, and the other is reputation."

"Soldiers and horses are the foundation of occupying a place, and reputation is relied on by the gentry."

"Although the young master's soldiers and horses are strong, they are far from enough."

"If you can't get the gentry to take refuge in you, you will have no money, food, soldiers and horses."

"The two complement each other and are indispensable."

Yuan Xi deeply felt the same way, "Then how should I break the situation?"

Wu Zhao smiled; "Since the son's family has been suppressed, why not find another way?"

Yuan Xi thought for a moment, "You mean, seek help from outside the family?"

It's not that he hasn't considered this issue.

He even thought about taking refuge in Cao Cao in private.

Joining if you can't beat it, there is nothing shameful. Yuan Tan of later generations also did this kind of thing. He once joined Cao Cao after being defeated by Yuan Shang.

But after Yuan Tan rebelled and was killed, it shows that there are many variables in it, and he depends on others, who guarantees that he will not be liquidated in the future?

Even if Cao Cao can't, what about the others?
Especially Cao Pi, he is a vengeful!
So Yuan Xi thought about it, and if he wanted to truly control his own destiny, he must not place his hopes on others.

He said, "Actually, there are not many choices. Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Lu Bu in Yanzhou, Zhang Yang in Hanoi, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Emperor Han?"

"However, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are now in danger of protecting themselves. Zhang Yang Liu Biao is too far away, let alone the Emperor Han, who is still under the control of Li Jue and Guo Si, and the distance cannot quench his thirst."

Wu Zhao heard Dong Zhao's story about the three loyal ministers, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you mention Cao Cao?"

After Yuan Xi heard this, he shook his head and said, "Only he can't do it."

"If he has great ambitions, he will definitely become the enemy of the Yuan family."

Wu Zhao had heard Dong Zhao say that Yuan Xi seemed to have an inexplicable resentment towards Cao Cao.

She thought it was a pity, according to the friendship between her father and Cao Cao, if Yuan Xi could get on line with Cao Cao, she thought to herself that she could still talk.

But seeing Yuan Xi's insistence, she had no choice but to say: "No matter who is sent from Ye City, the young master must take the private soldiers, and they must not be taken away by them."

Yuan Xi nodded in agreement, these private soldiers are his wealth base, without soldiers, he can only let mermaid.

The key this time, who will Yecheng send?
Yuan Xi chewed on Wu Zhao's words, he couldn't do it inside, so he looked outside.

Suddenly, his body trembled slightly, as if he had thought of something.
