Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 32

Hearing that Yecheng was going to send people over, Dong Zhao and Qu Yi came to look for Yuan Xi at the same time.

Yuan Xi first said something to Dong Zhao, Dong Zhao listened, nodded and said: "This matter is simple, I will write to Dong Fang immediately."

Seeing Dong Zhao's preoccupied look, Yuan Xi knew what he was worried about, and said, "Sir, don't worry. I'll ask Brother Qu to bring 20 people to escort you to Hanoi to meet Zhang Yang."

Dong Zhao was stunned, and then he had a look of shame on his face, "My lord has thought of all this, I'm really afraid that Yuan Zhoumu will settle accounts with me."

Yuan Xi smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Gongren has done enough, the boy is very grateful."

Dong Zhao was deeply moved, and sighed: "My lord knows the kindness of encounter, I will never forget my kindness."

"It's just that Gongren has been unknown for half his life, so why does the young master have all the favor for this old man?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Where is it unknown?"

"In the past, the master calmed the chaos of the giant deer. In two days, the feathers came three times. He can be called a good talent in the world."

"But what I admire the most is another thing."

Dong Zhao became interested: "Which one?"

Yuan Xi said: "When Emperor Ling was in power in the past, Jia Cong was the governor of Jizhou and punished corrupt officials. After he took office, many people were afraid of being found out, so they left after hearing the news. Mr. Ying Tao and Mr. Liang Guohuang, Mr. Guanjin, went to see Jia Cong calmly, and it can be seen that Mr. is honest and honest, with a clear conscience. I respect him from the bottom of my heart."

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Jia Cong Biography" - those who have passed away, look forward to the wind and untie the seal, but the gall Tao Changji Yin Dong Zhao, Guanjin Chang Liang Guohuang became officials and waited for Cong, so the state borders became blurred.

Jia Cong was a well-known upright official at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was famous for being light on corvees and poor in Fu and selecting talents and talents when he was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhi. During his three years in office, he became the most stable state and county in the country, and he was quite respected by the people. .

Xianglu sang for him: "Father Jia came late, so I rebelled first; now that I see Qingping, the officials dare not rebel."

Dong Zhao was very excited when he heard this past event, his beard trembled, and he said repeatedly: "My lord knows this too!"

This was the most proud thing in his life, so he was also appreciated by Jia Cong. Unfortunately, Jia Cong died of illness not long after.

Dong Zhao had not been convinced of Yuan Xi until now, and had the feeling of meeting a bosom friend.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, Liu Bei was appointed as Captain Anxi because of his meritorious service in pacifying the Yellow Turban Army. Before Jia Cong's arrival, he also left with his seal, and a quite famous incident occurred.

Whipping the governor.

Unlike Zhang Fei whipping and supervising the mail, which was passed down in later generations, Liu Bei actually did it himself.

"Dian Lue" - when the postal supervisor arrives at the county, he should be dispatched and prepared, so that he can know it.Hearing that the governor was in Chuanshe, Bei wanted to see the governor, but the governor said he was sick and refused to see Bei, and Bei hated him... So he tied him up on the bed, and was about to go out to the world, untied his ribbon to tie the governor's neck, tied it to a tree , with more than a hundred whips and sticks, wanting to kill him.The governor begged for mourning, but he was released.

When Liu Bei served as An Xiwei, he raised more than 100 private soldiers, and An Xiwei’s salary was 360 shi. After conversion, it was only 30 shi for a year (360 shi for a month valley, [-] shi for a year), so he definitely couldn’t support such Open your mouth more.

Yuan Xi understands Liu Bei very well, because he is doing the same thing as Liu Bei now.

In this troubled world, having a force of one's own is much more useful than a reputation of incorruptibility.

After Liu Bei had his own private army, he began to be promoted quickly. After he lost his position as An Xiwei, he was quickly promoted to Xiami Chancellor because of his military exploits. Three years later, he was promoted to Pingyuan Chancellor because he joined Gongsun Zan.

Compared with Anxiwei, who was two hundred shi, Prime Minister Ping Yuan's salary was as high as two thousand shi!
You must know that it took Jia Cong almost 30 years to go from an ordinary scholar to a high-ranking official with two thousand shi, but it took Liu Bei less than three years to go from two hundred shi to two thousand shi.

The reason why Liu Bei was valued by Cao Cao and greeted by Yuan Shao running two hundred miles away is definitely not explained by his honesty and honesty. He is quite extraordinary.

In contrast, Dong Zhao's incorruptibility is even more rare in such a chaotic environment, so Dong Zhao has a sense of knowing you.

Yuan Xi and Dong Zhao bowed to each other, and since then they have felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Qu Yi snorted next to him, "It's enough for Mr. Dong to be escorted by soldiers, so why let me go out?"

Yuan Xi was surprised and said: "Someone from Ye City, what if Brother Qu's identity is revealed?"

Qu Yi snorted coldly: "Are you afraid that I will drag you down?"

"If you got Zhao Yun, you'll despise me as useless, right?"

Yuan Xi smiled wryly, "Brother Qu, you know that's not what I meant."

He thought to himself why at this moment, why did Qu Yi start to lose his temper?

You were originally the one Yuan Shao would kill, but the people from Ye City want to show up in a big way, what do you think?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Zhao hurriedly dragged Qu Yi out, turned his head and said to Yuan Xi, "I'll persuade this bastard."

Qu Yi was reluctant to be dragged away by Dong Zhao, so Wu Zhao came in with tea at this moment, seeing this, he smiled and said, "Why, which song is this from?"

It was also difficult for Yuan Xi to tell Wu Zhaoming about Qu Yi's identity, and he felt a little headache when he thought about it. Although Qu Yi was capable of both civil and military skills, he was of great help in training his trilogy, but he was not favored. How to arrange him was indeed a big problem.

He could only say: "I don't know who the people Yecheng sent to Beixincheng are. To be on the safe side, I want them to go out and do something first."

Wu Zhao didn't know about Qu Yi, but he knew Dong Zhao's identity, so he nodded immediately. Now she and Yuan Xi are hiding things from each other, but neither of them knows.

She opened the mouth and said: "These days, I have taught the selected dozens of girls to read and write. They have entered the country very quickly, and it is estimated that they will be able to pass after a while."

Yuan Xi saw the look of hesitation on Wu Zhao's face, and knew that she was still somewhat resistant to this matter, so she immediately said: "This matter is all up to me, I have wronged you."

Wu Zhao bit his lip and said softly, "My lord didn't force them either, so why bother to say that, they heard that they will be able to serve in Yuan's family and Jizhou gentry's house in the future, it's too late to be happy."

These women also understand that this is an extremely rare opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny. If they enter the mansion of a wealthy family, if they are lucky enough to become concubines, they will have nothing to worry about.

In the final analysis, it is also in the troubled times, each takes what he wants, and strives to survive.

Day by day, in the valley south of Beixin City, an army of thousands of people was walking slowly, with three horses in front of them walking side by side.

Riding on a horse in the middle is a tall middle-aged man, riding on the left is a scribe in long robes, and the man on the right is dressed as a general, with a majestic figure.

Seeing that the scribes were working hard, the people in the middle said: "If you are working hard, sir, you can go to the back and sit in the carriage."

The scribe said: "It's okay, thank you for your concern, young master."

"I'm just curious. I want to see the place where Mr. Yuan Xi beheaded Liu Bao, the son of the Xiongnu Shanyu."

The general next to him heard this, and snorted coldly: "Mr. Yuan Xi killed the son of Shan Yu, and the other party will definitely retaliate. With Gongsun Zan watching from the north, it is really unwise to make another enemy."
