Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315 What's the use of keeping you
Cao Xian jumped out of the car, saw that Hou was waiting at the door, and said politely, "I have seen Madam, are you all right?"

Knowing that Cao Xian came from a wealthy family and was an important figure around Yuan Xi, Hou knew that Cao Xian did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Everything is fine, thank you for remembering my concubine."

She waited for a while, but saw that no one got off from the car, so she couldn't help being a little puzzled. Seeing this, Cao Xian said, "There are enemies outside the city, the young master has gone to the top of the city."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hou felt relieved for some reason, and said casually, "Madam Wu also followed?"

Cao Xian didn't realize it at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized: "Madam is talking about Sister Zhaoji? She and Madam are staying in Jicheng."

"Oh, by the way, Sister Zhaoji changed her surname back to Cai."

Hou was a little dazed, and Wu Zhao changed it to .
Cai Zhaoji?
She groped it a few times before she came to her senses and said in a broken voice, "Isn't this Cai Zhonglang's daughter!"

Cao Xian said with a smile: "Madam also knew?"

"Sister Zhaoji has complicated things to do in Jicheng now, and she can't get away, so this time I'm the only one who will come back with the young master."

Seeing the chubby face of the girl in Hou's arms, she immediately burst into love. She leaned over and touched the girl's cheek, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and I've grown up a lot."

"Let's go in and talk. I'm afraid you won't be able to come back soon."

"I'm here to give Madam a hug, I like children the most!"

Seeing Cao Xian's look of longing, Hou passed the swaddle over, Cao Xian took it carefully, and walked in while teasing.

Cao Xian couldn't help laughing when he saw the girl stretching out her chubby little hand to touch his cheek, "This child is quite clever."

"It's a pity that Madam is not in Jicheng. There is someone one or two years older than her in the mansion over there. It's fun."

Madam Hou heard this, and asked tentatively, "Are there many people over there in Jicheng?"

Cao Xian nodded and said, "My lord decided to use Jicheng as the seat of government, so I placed my wife's family there."

Mrs. Hou asked, "Then Beixincheng?"

Cao Xian said casually, "I think we won't arrange any more family members."

Madam Hou's face darkened, as expected this side was abandoned.

When Cao Xian saw it, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, madam, the young master will not abandon you."

Hou hurriedly said: "The concubine is very good here, the other side of Jicheng is the son's family, what is the concubine going to do?"

Cao Xian thought it was true, after all, to Yuan Xi, the Hou family was the widow of the enemy, she teased the girl in her arms, and said, "It's a pity, it's very lively over there, besides sister Zhaoji, there is also Mrs Cai, this child Ma'am is about the same age, so we can definitely play together."

Hou was a little confused, "What Mrs. Cai? Didn't the young master marry Mrs. Zhen?"

Cao Xian explained a few words casually, Hou was dumbfounded, and couldn't make up his mind. This Mrs. Cai is the elder of Cai Zhaoji, and she is pregnant with the envoy's child?

What is this all about?
Yuan Xi was on the top of the city, holding up his binoculars, and on the far horizon, there were some faint figures, leaning on a wooden stick, hunched over, walking extremely slowly, they were obviously refugees.

There were a hundred cavalrymen chasing after them. Some people raised their swords on their horses and rushed to those who left their names. The back was dyed red, and when the crowd saw it, they shouted in panic and fled in all directions.

But a refugee in the crowd rushed forward and hugged the thigh of the saber cavalryman, trying to drag him off the horse. The cavalry was furious, and slashed at the refugee's shoulder with a sharp knife, and the blade was completely embedded in it.

The refugee let out a cry of pain, but he didn't let go. The people next to him saw it, and then they realized that they all rushed up and dragged the cavalry off their horses. Then those who moved stones moved stones, those who used sticks used sticks, and even He rushed forward and bit the cavalryman by the throat.

The cavalryman let out a dying scream, and gradually his voice became smaller and smaller, and after seeing a few struggles, he stopped moving.

Seeing his rage, his companions drew out their knives one after another, and slashed at their horses, causing the crowd of refugees to scream one after another.

Yuan Xi saw through the binoculars that his anger rose. These riders in the uniform of the Black Mountain Army were so bold that they dared to kill people so close to Beixincheng!
At this time, Tian Yu and Yan Rou were leading cavalry to set up camp outside the city. Seeing this, they immediately got on their horses and each led hundreds of cavalry.

It is also unlucky to think that this Black Mountain army cavalry is coming. They ambushed near Beixin City these days, hacking and killing the refugees who fled from Black Mountain to Youzhou, just to frighten them. As a result, today, by coincidence, they met the main force of Yuan Xi who was returning to the army !

This is no wonder for them, Yuan Xi led the army to set off from Jicheng, and went south through the passage north of Beixin City, so naturally they couldn't meet the Black Mountain cavalry in the south of Beixin City.

So this cavalry rushed up like they couldn't die. They usually ran away after killing people, but now they were stunned to see a large group of cavalry rushing out, rushing towards this side with incomparable speed!
Seeing that the opponent's number was much larger than their own, the Montenegrin cavalry turned around and ran away one after another. As a result, the cavalry led by Yan Rou had superb riding skills, and they came very quickly, and caught up in an instant.

I saw this group of light cavalry composed of northern border residents drew their longbows on their backs and mounted sharp arrows. When they entered the range, the arrows shot out like rain, covering the fleeing Black Mountain Cavalry Army!
There were screams one after another, and the Black Mountain cavalry was horrified to find that these chasing soldiers were extremely accurate with bows and arrows, and their own cavalry had arrows in the back of the head and heart, and fell off the horse.

The leading general was a small leader of the Black Mountain Army, named Ji Dagen. Seeing that he was being chased down like this, he would not be able to escape. Sooner or later he would be consumed by the opponent, so he shouted: "Walk around, get behind them!"

Hearing this, the Montenegrin cavalry roared loudly, while dodging the arrows, while relying on the terrain to turn around, as long as they turned around, they could rush into this group of archers!
However, they still thought too well, because Tian Yu had already taken the opportunity to lead someone, blocking their way back!

Ji Dagen saw that there was an interception in front of him, and there were pursuers behind him, so he immediately raised his ring head long knife and shouted: "Fight them!"

Tian Yu also took out the newly made Huan Shou Knife, with a faint blue light shining on it, in stark contrast to Ji Dagen's black lacquered Huan Shou Knife.

The two groups of cavalry roared at the same time and slammed into each other fiercely.

Tian Yu and Ji Dagen chased after the horse's tail, and they fought in a circle. After more than a dozen moves, Tian Yu was surprised to find that the opponent's response was quite methodical!

The two used their tempers, hacked and slashed at each other, and the sparks from the collision of the blades continued to explode.

Ji Dagen was even more terrified. He was specialized in swordsmanship and was ranked first in the Montenegro army, but now he was suppressed and at a disadvantage!

Seeing that Tian Yu could not be taken down, and his subordinates were shot one by one by Yan Rou's troops who rushed over, he was even more flustered, and after a few tricks, he wanted to pull his horse and run away.

How could Tian Yu let him go, the saber's posture changed, and he stuck to it tightly, the ring head saber was raised high, and he continued to slash fiercely!
Ji Dagen was forced to block with his sword horizontally in embarrassment, and the jingle was heard endlessly. He was horrified to find that there were more and more gaps on the knife around his head!

His own saber is considered to be the best weapon in the Black Mountain Army, why is it like an unrefined cast iron saber now?
Before he could figure it out, under the vigorous blow, the ring-shou knife in Ji Dagen's hand made a loud noise and finally broke in two.

Before he could react, Tian Yu slashed at Ji Dagen's shoulder with a knife. The blade cut through the leather armor on his shoulder and embedded it deeply!
With a scream, Ji Dagen fell off his horse, fell half dead, and was tied up by the surrounding soldiers.

Tian Yu held the Huan Shou Knife in front of him, and found a few strands of blood slowly sliding down the blade. There were densely packed tiny gaps on the blade, but the blade was intact, much better than the opponent's short knife that had been cut in two. .

At that time, a good ring-shou knife was called a hundred-smelting steel knife. It required dozens of layers of steel to be folded and hammered and tempered repeatedly. It represented the highest iron-making technology at that time. , is not that big.

But now this ring-shou knife made by the new method not only uses better materials, but also uses the technique of clamping steel forging. The blade focuses on hardness, the blade focuses on sharpness, and the blade spine focuses on elasticity. suppression effect.

Ji Dagen was captured, and the rest of the cavalry could not run away, so they had to dismount and surrender. Tian Yu and Yan Rou tied Ji Dagen back to the city, and took him to the top of the city to meet Yuan Xi.

Ji Dagen still struggled and roared, he didn't expect Yuan Xi to ask without asking, and said directly: "Kill it."

Ji Dagen was stunned, he stammered: "General, I, I."

Yuan Xi pointed at the refugees under the city, and said calmly: "Aren't those all from your hometown?"

"As a member of Montenegro, if you can wield a sword against the people of your hometown, what's the use of keeping you?"

"The head of the owl, hang the head of the city."

The captured black mountain army cavalry knelt at the foot of the wall, but when they looked up, they saw Ji Dagen's head lifted high above the wall and swaying in the wind, and he was frightened out of his wits.

Seeing Yuan Xi looking at the surrendered cavalry, Tian Yu whispered, "Master, it's not good to kill and surrender."

Yuan Xi stopped the killing intent in his heart, "I understand."

He is not bloodthirsty, but for the refugees in the city and the Black Mountain Army.

In fact, according to his thinking, killing all of these people is the best deterrence. When the opponent comes again, he will definitely think twice.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. If all the surrendered soldiers are killed, the Black Mountain Army may fight desperately, which will not be conducive to future operations.

He thought for a while, and said to Tian Yu: "At night, put these people back."

Yan Rou was taken aback when she heard that, but then she couldn't react. Isn't the contrast too great?

Tian Yu was thoughtful, thinking that he, the lord, might be playing tricks again.

Sure enough, Yuan Xi said: "Before releasing them, find an opportunity to pretend to leak it unintentionally, and let them know that there are our spies among them. After going back, we should cooperate with the spies in Montenegro, wait for the opportunity to obtain the head of the leader of Montenegro, and then we can be promoted. Sir."

"By the way, when sending them back, give them different treatment in terms of food and clothing."

"Let the Montenegrin army guess for themselves."
